Frank: the thing.
Scott: You don't have an answer for
Frank: that. Do you? I know I don't. No. So Zen is like a term that this could go. I like to use. Yeah. Zen's a term that I like to use because we're not millennials, but we're not.
But we're
Scott: not gen Xers. I think we just are though. I think we might just be it's you don't get to pick. No, you don't. Cause yeah. I feel like you just don't want to pick. We fall
Frank: under millennial, but that upsets me because I can do functional things in life. And I have some
Scott: companies, none of that shit is real, man.
id something weird. that was [:Scott: a
Frank: monologue? Uh, yeah man. I was feeling it and then a bright light flashed outta the corner of my eye and I thought I was getting fucking, I don't know, dude.
It's no, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Okay, hold on. Let's shake it off. Like Mariah Carey. Yeah. And let's do this.
Scott: What'd you watch this week?
Frank: Oh, dude, I watched some shit this week. I didn't finish scream. Not yet. You know, I think last time we were on, I was halfway through three. I finished three rewatched, four Emma Roberts.
I did not remember that.
Scott: Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Frank: So, okay. Remember that after I watched
Scott: three. Oh, didn't I tell you that when we
Frank: were doing paradise Hills, I don't think you told me specifically that it was. Oh,
Scott: really? I don't think so. Oh, I didn't tell you that it was her that it was her, but no.
Yeah. I told you she was in the movie because you were like, why is Hayden Pener in this? The characters in that
Frank: franchise are so fucking goofy. yeah, they are like, it doesn't matter. Who made which movie, like whatever who
Scott: [:And so you've, you're like, I'll accept anything
Frank: now. So the second one though, you know, Jada Pinkett and Omar ups go to the movie. It's Heather Graham that they're
Scott: watching. Oh, as drew Barry Moore's character. Yeah. Yeah. It's
Frank: fucking Heather Graham. I loved that in four, when they're cycling through all the movies that have been made, all the stab movies, it ends on fucking rogue and Kristin bell.
Scott: rogue. Oh, Anna Paquin. Yeah. Oh yeah. Sorry.
Frank: I never remember Anna Paquin, even though what was
Scott: it? The piano. I just don't remember her as rogue.
Frank: Did, did she get an academy award as a child for the piano?
Scott: I think it was the piano or was she nominated? I think it was the piano, but my whole life, I thought it was for flyaway.
Oh, get the fuck outta here. oh my God. Cause when I was a little kid, I was like, that movie made me so sad. I cried. No, no,
Anna pack when? Oh no, she's [:Scott: I really liked it.
At least at the beginning.
Frank: I did. That was a life choice for me not to do true blood. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. True bloods out there.
Scott: What? That was one of the books I threw away in an.
Frank: That's what, that's a fuck you than everything I just said. Fuck the shit. Um,
Scott: yeah, no, um, yeah, the first Soki Stackhouse book, I, I was like, I really like that show and I like read it and I was like, I fucking hate this book.
Frank: Well, and okay. So scream. I need to watch five. Once I watch five of 'em caught up.
Have you ever started a movie and then about 15 minutes in you realize you've seen the fucking movie it
Scott: happens sometimes.
Frank: Okay. So I watched out of the furnace with Christian bale I was said with Patrick Bateman anyway, and then, um, I finally watched some trash TV. What does that mean? okay. Back when we used to have cable instead of 10 streaming services, we'd watch a show called bad girls club.
[:Scott: I, well, my trash TV is like, I watched fucking Stargate for four hours. Oh no, I'm
Frank: talking like flavor of love. With, with flavor flavor. Yeah. Yeah. Rock of love with Brett Michaels, a shot at love with Tela tequila. Ugh. Let me just go through all the shots on MTV. No trash TV, bad girls club, shit like that.
Ugh. So I started, I watched a little bit of below deck. what the fuck
Scott: what's
Frank: below deck. It's about, it's a reality show about the crew of like private yachts that you got. Yes. I mean, it's the definition of trash TV blow deck. It is what it is. I'm I'm ashamed.
Scott: I think somebody else you to touch told me about that too.
Frank: It's people talked about it and it's got seven seasons on fucking peacock or paramount wherever I watched it peacock.
Scott: I'd rather watch shipmates. Yeah. So
Frank: that, and you know, being a dad, I watched frozen. For the first time frozen was huge. She's three years old. We're just now watching. We couldn't get her into it before,
Scott: but I've seen, oh, you were like, I thought she was cool, man.
Now she wants to watch this.
Frank: I know. [:Scott: with Chris. The rock and Moana. Yeah, dude. No. Wow. I, I, haven't seen a children's movie really in a, in a while, except you.
Frank: What can I say? Except you're welcome. yep. Okay. Don't get me singing fucking Disney songs. We're not here for this. Oh gosh. Um, but yeah, frozen. Uh, what,
Scott: what did you check out? I watched paper girls on Amazon. Fucking amazing. I saw preview for that's gone places. I didn't think it was gonna go. Much paper girls.
Yeah, I think you should. It's okay. It starts, it looks a little like, uh, the budget of a BBC show at a certain like early doctor who time at first, like the camera, like yeah, the fill, it just looks kind of grainy. And the frame rate is a little off, like fast or something. And so it looks kind of unreal.
ed in fine. It has, uh, ally [:Like what the fuck is happening. several times in like the most nerdy way possible. Very cool. It's a, it's based on a Brian Cavan comic book. I've never read, but uh, he wrote why the last man, the comic. Named my dog after
Frank: you have to re you have to remember, you have to remind me about comic
Scott: book things am Amber sand and he's named after a monkey from a Brian Cavan comic book. Yes. Yes.
Frank: Okay. That sounds familiar now, but no, I still have not read that comic
Scott: series. Uh, no, I was just telling you who Brian Cavanugh. He, he was also a lost writer, adapted under the dome for series.
ved to CBS. I think he quit. [:Frank: live fire exercise. Yeah.
Scott: Like they could have verbatim shot the book in two. Yeah. And yeah, that was very, uh, CBS , but Taby not that's the official term. Not as good as Jericho, CBS
Frank: Jericho. Still need to watch that second season. You told me about I never watched it. Oh, you just thought it was.
Scott: When it was canceled, it was canceled.
Frank: Yeah. Yeah. And so I, I liked that. You, you, that was pretty good. It was canceled. You told me that they did no, they did another one to wrap it up. I haven't checked that out. What happened to Skeete Orrick?
Scott: What did happen to SQUI or he was on that show? Touch. What the fuck is touch? It was, uh, I don't know. I never watched it.
That's what it was called. Oh shit.
. He was what's the, I don't [:Scott: that's the bullshit. I, the guy with the hearing sometimes. Sure. I mean, I'm right, but , you're just making shows up on a podcast. Oh yeah. He was in FARA goes west I know
Frank: my in goes,
Scott: but yeah, paper girls was the most notable. Yeah, we got two episodes left. So maybe it it's terrible after there you go. So we made it that
Frank: far. Well, and not much watching much else. It sounds like you
Scott: locked on. Well, Kelly kept being like, do you wanna watch the show? Do you wanna watch the show? And I was like, I don't know.
We started watching it. And I was like, this is a fucking Brian Caugh thing. and then it, it took off and went places. I did not expect it to go. Gotcha. It happens. Yeah. Jason Zuki is the funniest person to ever live. He's roughy on the league. I, I was just thinking about your comment. I just seeing him stand there makes me laugh.
Like he he'll just be. Sit there.
A lately? That guy is really [:Scott: yeah, that shit was funny. It was awesome. Oh man. Other than that, I just watched the usual. TV suspects that I've been plugging through.
Oh
Frank: see. And I know I watch, oh, I watch an old man show on Netflix, forged in fire.
Scott: it's your TV, your TV and movie habits are starting to get a little odd lately. Yeah. It may be like a symptom of bipolar disorder. like, I just
Frank: need. To yeah. That I'm watching something
Scott: bad. Yeah. When I was a little kid, my stepdad used to come home and just, he would drink hoo and watch ducktails.
I would always be like, what the fuck is going on? Mm-hmm . Cause I was even getting to an age, a little too old to wanna watch ducktails at the time, but I get it now. He had a hard job and then he would drive very far to come home and then he would sit in a fucking chair and watch ducktails and drink yuhoo and now I understand ducktails.
year old man? To do that. [:Frank: it's from our childhood, but it's
Scott: not, it's so deep in our childhood.
It's crazy watching this like moments in time were flying back to me like the first watching you said it,
Frank: what did I say? Uh, Doritos in a so. Because I would always have a bag of Doritos. I'd sit on my bed, Doritos in a soda. Watch that movie to start my night. It's been
Scott: so long since I saw this movie that I didn't realize how many times I watched when I was a kid.
Like you said, you, it things, this was my favorite movie at one time. Yeah. Like there was nothing better than this, except maybe Ghostbuster. Okay. Like nothing is as good as this Ghostbusters and the empire strikes back. Those were the big
Frank: three. I hadn't seen it. I thought I'd seen this one, but I think I'd actually watch two, two is what I'd watch
Scott: more recently.
I think it might have, even [:And you know, I
Frank: never saw TMN. I did
Scott: sadly it had Megan Fox. Yeah. It was such a big part of my childhood that I was like, I mean, I'm gonna watch whatever one they put out. I feel like it's because this one was so treated me like such an adult when I was a kid. Hmm. Hmm. Because as far as movies like that go, Jim Henson always treated you like an adult.
The way he told a story was not obvious. It wasn't like treating you like you're a kid and you might not understand. And I feel like this was one of those kind of movies like that. I don't think Ghostbusters was necessarily made for a five year old. You know, it was just part of the, it was acceptable, but that was why it was so important when I was a kid, was, it was a movie that felt like I was being treated like an adult watching it, seeing the story, kinda, they were so cool.
haven't gotten to that point [:Frank: in the animated yet, cuz we're not doing, you know, feature films. We're still in that animated phase. Only in TV shows in Blippy. Yeah. Blippy I don't know what that
Scott: is.
Frank: he's this guy. He's worth millions now. I'm sure he just
Scott: wait, is he like a, a wiggle that broke off or something? He
Frank: wears an outfit, the sh everything's like color coordinated. And he goes and visits places and does things. And he is like, isn't that fun? and like his voice, I mean, this laugh is like Blippy.
And then, I didn't know until I was in a meeting at work and one of the moms was like, oh yeah, Blippy but don't Google. Like what he's done in his. Well, okay. I have, I'm gonna do that. I'm doing that. Thanks for getting me to Google this. Uh, he used to make these crazy wacky fucking out there videos, and apparently once he shit on somebody in one of his video,
Scott: Like legit, like Gigi Allen should on somebody.
Yeah. Like
Frank: he shot on someone. Cool of hearing. I didn't read the whole
nvolved? I believe so. Okay. [:Frank: Yeah, he did, but he like, that's the thing. He did this wacky, but he found. The niche,
Scott: you know? Yeah. I, I bet we just don't live in the right time.
I bet. If you go far enough back, like we have a Blippy yeah. Like there, or like RAI was peeing on people or something like that. Yeah. I mean, I haven't looked at footage. Was it baby beluga guy. You remember that shit? I don't no. What the fuck are? What is that? This weird, some weird little kid folk singer when I was a kid.
Frank: No, he was big. I wasn't part of the original Bo. Clown crew, but it still came on TV as a young child. And I'm sure if you look at video of bozo, the clown, that shit looks creepy. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. And did bozo smoke a cigar on stage? I think
Scott: so. Yeah. Just times were different. Yeah. Well, this movie had a little kid smoking, a cigar in it, smoking
Frank: a cigar and they were passing around cigarettes like they do in prison movies.
Yeah. We might
Scott: bounce around and get overly excited during this one, cuz this was really, really a weird
Frank: experience. This was:The world's most efficient fighting team they're heroes in a half shell. And they're green. When the evil shredder attacks these turtle boys don't cut. 'em no slack teenage mutant ninja turtles, teenage mutant ninja turtles. Splinter taught them to be ninja teens. Leonardo leads. Donatello does machines.
Raphael is cool, but crude Michaelangelo is a party dude, teenage mutant ninja turtles, teenage mutant ninja turtles, teenage mutant ninja turtles heroes in a hash shell turtle power based on the comic book by Kevin Eastman and Peter lair directed by Steve Barron. It's starring up Judith ho alias COEs, Josh pace, David Foreman, leaf Tilden, Michael sissy, Corey Feld.
Which I did look up some stuff, we couldn't find it.
Scott: And the reason what I was looking for Corey Feldman is so far down that list is I listed all the body actors first. Yes. Come on man. And
Frank: that's why there's two names listed on each character on IMDB. Yeah. Except for which I, so I had to check
Scott: that didn't click in my head at place.
pops up in the movie another [:Frank: Is he the one who's like some and thug or something like, no, he's the
Scott: guy in the cab when RAF jumps over the cab. And he's chasing Casey Jones Uhhuh. When he is like, I gotta get to LaGuardia.
Like that's him. That's one of the ninja turtles. It's Raphael. That's the guy who plays Raphael and does his voice. So
Frank: Rafael who jumps over the hood, the guy who plays him is in the cab. Amazing. Is that teenage mutant ninja turtles inception.
Scott: Yes. Except, uh, the other people were Robbie wrist, Brian Tachi and Kevin clash.
Kevin clash. Kevin clash is Elmo. He splinter voice Andy puppeted splinter. And then I think he left Sesame street because he was accused of some sort of sexual allegations. Oh, a bummer. But I mean, it's still fucking crazy. Yeah, no, I had no idea. Yeah. Cuz this was so elaborate with the animatronics and everything.
I don't think
Frank: I noticed as much as I did this watch as I did,
llo. But he's not, , there's [:Yeah. And then some other guy was off camera. He should've gotten credit too for remote control in that face. Although that would've been a lot of names to read just now oh man. Corey Feldman. And there's a ton more people in this. Just random. So random. I saw
Frank: the one I saw
Scott: the one I used to think Sam Rockwell was in Pete and Pete, and then I looked it up and it was commonly thought that Sam Rockwell was in Pete and Pete as endless Mike mm-hmm the bully, but it was actually this guy, Rick Gomez, and everybody thought it was Sam Rockwell.
So Sam Rockwell. Is in ninja turtles, but if you look on IMDB, so is the guy that plays endless Mike, and I think it might be that someone just thought that that was him. Okay. So, and ook Sam Rockwell for him
is than I probably knew. And [:Because I hadn't checked IMDB yet. Cuz I was like, I want it to be a
Scott: surprise. Yeah. Well I was looking for fucking endless Mike, the whole movie and he wasn't there. Check this out. I never saw
Frank: him listen to this. I didn't check the names. Right. I'm watching it when April got jumped at the beginning in the parking lot Uhhuh I was like, fuck, is that Sam Rockwell?
But then he's in like the hideout is the next time I see him and that's. Sam Rockwell. So it was endless Mike, the one who
Scott: Mike, the one in the beginning. God
Frank: damn. That's what I'm saying here. Oh
Scott: my God. They're both in the movie
Frank: because I didn't know the Sam Rockwell thing, but I was like, oh, is that Sam Rockwell?
And then I was like, well, they, but they used to get those
Scott: two confused from Pete and Pete. Because it's so weird if they are in the same movie together, I thought that was weird enough. But then when I was like, I couldn't
Frank: find it. No, man, if you felt like it it's, it's when she gets jumped. So if you were to hit play it's towards the beginning.
Yeah, because when it shows Sam Rockwell, when she
Scott: leave work and she's wearing the yellow ring, the yellow,
Frank: yeah. Shout out the yellow rain coach show.
Scott: Apparently the yellow jumpsuit, they had the yellow jumpsuit made and they were like too much. I can't do it like too obvious. I think they tried a white one and they were just like, it was at a time.
It [:Frank: gotten away with a yellow PLE
Scott: jumpsuit, but they did the raincoat. It was a good touch. It was nice little shout out. This movie felt so fucking real. It did compared to some of the superhero movies. You see a lot of the Marvel movies.
They're not gonna hold up. Just, it's gonna start to look hokey no matter how real you think it looks, there were parts of it will look
Frank: hokey one. There are parts of this that were just grimy. You felt
Scott: dirty. Yeah. But 30 years, 32 years ago, this movie came out and those fucking ninja trolls look good. The practical effect is fucking amazing.
They used
Frank: a lot of animatronic stuff back then. You know, we don't see it as much now.
Scott: no, I wish we did. I mean, jures park labyrinth, neverending story. Those are Jim Henson. Aren't they? No, none never ending story. Isn't. And what
Frank: about, uh,
Scott: what's his. Uh, Falco. Oh yeah. That was an animatronic. Yeah. Yeah. Was it Falco the fucking ol from American ol in London?
That shit was an animatronic Chucky from
ing that I saw a while back. [:Like that?
Scott: Is it just a coincidence
immediately?
Frank: I did. Cause I was like, oh, cause I'm like, no, it's not old enough. And I'm like, wait, the timeline, like I'm like maybe it is old enough. To where they could
Scott: have scratched. There's something about the eyes now that you say that, but I don't know if it's, because you said that, that I think you about.
I know,
Frank: and it's one of those things I wanted to believe, but also it's just some bullshit. Somebody threw out there and then somebody else picked it up at a certain point and I read it, you know, both
Scott: places. like, well fucking somebody when I was a little kid told me Burt Reynolds was gay. I thought Burt Reynolds was gay until I was like 25.
Frank: You thought Gator was gay?
Scott: Well, it's just like, they were like, I mean, look at that mustache. And I think I was like, I was a little kid, so I was just like, yeah. Yeah. I guess, look at that mustache look at, I was like, that's fucked up. My dad has that mustache
oo. Tom Selleck. Wasn't gay. [:Scott: he? No, no, but somebody, when I was a little kid told me, they thought that Burt Reynolds was gay and some where in my head, I was just like, sure, whatever.
And I like logged it. And then I was like 25 and I was like, Isn't be Reynolds gay and people were like attacking me. I feel like we should have a
Frank: Seinfeld moment. Like, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Scott: you might be
Frank: right. We're getting into all these musta. I mean, but I mean, no, that's
Scott: just one of those things. I feel like. Why adults told kids bullshit when we were kids, you know, like they would just be like, yeah, this and then send you on your way. And you'd walk out into the life with this bad information.
True
Frank: story. We talk about misinformation now, but the shit that our parents thought they knew that it was implanted in us. You were
Scott: concerned about the weirdest shit like this fucking movie because of this and the cartoon, uh, None chucks illegal all over the place because they had to take 'em from kids.
Kids were smacking
did you see the thing in the [:Scott: violence.
Oh no. I was overwhelmed with just the things I was noticing. There's so much on this, right. There's so much
Frank: there. It's deep. The teenage mutant ninja turtles universe is deep when it comes to weird little facts and, you know, trivias,
Scott: because if you're in your, like mid to late thirties, you were in the middle of this.
But I mean, ghost supposed came out the year I was born. I was so into it when I was a little kid. Yeah. I wish I had
Frank: those.
Scott: You did. I had the firehouse man. Oh, I had the car and the guys I had the car, the firehouse, the helicopter. Mm-hmm do you remember how, like how I had no ghosts? The lasers were come to think of it.
I think I had a StepUp marshmallow band, but that was it. Like, I didn't, I didn't get, I don't have, I didn't have a slim. I remember when I was a kid, I was like, I don't have any stuff to fight,
Frank: dude. Did I not have any
Scott: ghosts? To fight. Yeah. Was so they were just living in a doll house in my room they were out in my room, just
Frank: waiting for a call.
Uh, their packs were missing, you know, like, do you remember how the actual, like the zap was like a solid piece of plastic?
Scott: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, [:First and
Frank: that cartoon was my
Scott: childhood completely, but the things that were different in the movie were because they were from the comic book. Mm. And this movie walked a weird line where it didn't step on anything. Mm-hmm, either thing. It didn't alienate anyone. I know the, uh, I will jump around a whole lot.
Splint's backstory. That's mostly from the comic book. Mm-hmm a little bit, but I think shredder ends up being the brother of the guy splint's owner killed. Was that stop motion. So kind of. Kung Fu movie, you know, the splinter black and the, the, it goes deep there for a, a second. It was, it was little puppets, man.
The little TV puppets, the baby
Frank: turtles. Okay. But the little turtles were like real redded sliders, right? Like they were real turtles.
e ones that were like pizza. [:Did
Frank: you notice though the way they. Is the way that the bad one looks in the second one, but bigger.
Scott: Oh yeah. Kind of that's. That was the look, the, the not bebopping rock studies from the next movie, not Bebo and rock. I was so betrayed when I was a kid. I bet it was from the comic book. The comic book may have been too weird for me after.
Like, was it KA, was it crying from the cartoon? Yeah. Crying? Uh, yeah. So the cartoon was way weirder than the movies. Mm-hmm until the second one. And I think even as a kid, I was like, oh fuck, you stepped over the, like the dark Nightline that I don't know about yet. you know, where you made like a movie was like so realistic.
It's just these fucking ninja turtles that live in the sewer. Even Casey Jones in this movie's aware that this is no way to live. . And he was pretty squeezey. That opening scene of the movie was, I don't know if it was just overly nostalgic or it just really established what kind of movie this was gonna be with the music.
The Don no, no, no. [:TV
Frank: on her fucking porch. Those are some dark and ominous tones.
Scott: dude. It really, it de held. It held, it held a lot of weight and with April's news broadcast over it and everything. Yeah. Talking about the foot Klan. Oh God.
Frank: I started it with Olympia before she passed out. And it, during the crime wave one of the crime wave sequences. Yeah. When that lady's crocheting and she turns in the TV's gone was like, she was just sitting on her porch trying to crochet and watch some TV. I know it's so
Scott: sad. She's like I fucking New York city.
Frank: Oh man. I was, I was just watching, she said, oh, that porch, she was just trying to sit outside and enjoy the day
Scott: the city needs help.
Frank: Oh, I mean, I, you know, I can't remember the last, uh, the most recent crime wave in.
Scott: not like that. I thought it was tasteful that like the only guys dressed as ninjas were just like, they were the ones that were in the van, like taking the stuff.
[:Frank: him. Okay. The pick pocketing scene , you know, with the wallet,
Scott: it was really elaborate. It was like the first shot of the movie and fucking, he like picks the pocket and PA hands it off and then
Frank: holds it. No. Hey, how many handoffs were there though? I think there were three.
There might have been more than three . I was trying to rationalize I'm like, okay, so wait, is that, so if somebody like yanks on one of them's arm, it's not there because somebody else already has
Scott: it. Well, wait, who you trying to throw off? If you're meta fucking New York cop in times square, he stuck. He does not care about
Frank: that shit.
Yeah. If the guy you stole it from didn't feel you swipe it. Is there a need for it to trade hands three to 27 times before.
Scott: Sit against. Yeah, you got away. Fucking give it
Frank: a break and then you lean it up against a wall in an alleyway and hand it to a guy in a fucking ninja suit. with vegetable strainers for high balls.
hat's the thing is the ninja [:Frank: Can you fucking believe it? This shit's fucking absurd. Yeah, but it fucking
Scott: is though, like really it's fucking nuts. It was like taken so seriously and they did such a good job. What I can't remember was I saw this in the theater. When I was a little kid, this was one of my first movies. Mm-hmm uh, I don't remember there being like cartoon sound effects during the fighting, but I can't remember.
There were this time or not. Cause I remember when I got the VHS tape, when I was a kid, I was like, what's with the fucking cartoon noises. Like if there was a leg sweep, was there like a, yeah, but I can't that kind of a thing. I don't know if they were in this cut of it. Mm-hmm always been one of those things where I was like, I gotta trash down to ninja turtles copy without the cartoon sounds.
Uh,
Frank: so [:Scott: I don't think I heard it. Maybe they're gone. I think they were like, this is so violent. We can't. Little kids doing karate in their backyard. Yeah. Kicking and punching. Well, and
Frank: I thought long and hard about who was my favorite.
When I was a kid, it was Raphael. I was a Leonardo guy because he had, so you a Leonardo guy? I think so. Oh, because I felt like his weapons weird dude were the most dangerous.
Scott: Oh second. I would go with Donatella straight up.
Frank: Have you seen the breakdowns as to why they have the weapons for like why those weapons are?
No, dude, I read something the other day looking this up. That's one thing I wish I had taken down. It was. Deep explanation of why splinter had given each one of them, their weapons.
Scott: I read the novelization of this movie. Mm-hmm when I was a kid. That's how into that shit? I was mm-hmm and I remember there's the training sequence.
of the movie. Oh. Cause they [:Frank: I wish I would've taken those. What I read about the description of why they got their weapons.
It was deep and it made sense. I was like, oh shit. It hit me.
Scott: What's weird. Is how like emotionally attached to this. I am. Yeah. It's,
Frank: it's crazy. I didn't realize in thinking back on it. I don't know if I saw the first one in theaters, but I remember seeing the second one at north cross theater. I
Scott: think I did.
aw a Batman in the theater in:Frank: too, because you know, The film burnt up in the middle of it. We had to do an
Scott: intermission. I remember when my mom was like, kind of mad. I, my
Frank: dad, the women's restroom honestly, was in the women's restroom with my mom during intermission.
Cuz she had to take me with her. I was like, what? Five? We were four or five. Yeah. Um, I remember the women's
Scott: restroom. Yeah. My first movie was uncle buck. Really? This was my very first movie. That's the first one you can remember. My dad took me to see uncle buck when I was a little kid.
Frank: I remember all dogs go to.
Which was Jesus.
saw in the theater. I can't [:Frank: Aladdin, lion
Scott: king. None of those. No, I can't remember. It was usually live action stuff. We didn't go for the, the cartoons my family had just discovered
Frank: bass drop.
Scott: Maybe my mom was like, I don't wanna sit through that.
Frank: see. Yeah. And there was a certain point when I, you know, it's just like, if we
Scott: wait, I don't have to
Frank: watch it with him. Yeah. We got to see Pocahontas bass drop used to have a old timey theater. Mm. It had a balcony. Oh
Scott: yeah. We got
Frank: to go see Pocahontas in the bass drop movie theater, which had a balcony.
Yeah, that's cool. Um, later on, we also saw nine months there. I believe if I'm not mistaken,
Scott: you grant what a weird fucking time I was nine.
Frank: I remember so mean if that was 90,
Scott: I vividly remember the two and three coming out. Mm-hmm but. I can't remember if I saw those in the theater or not see, I, I didn't like ninja drawers two and three as much, even when I was a kid, I knew they were not, I love that vanilla.
Frank: Ninja go ninja.
ut I remember some thinking, [:No, in three, their teeth are just, it's a monstrosity. There are too big. Well, like how much does an ninja turtle tooth weigh? just one. Is it like a Megalodon tooth, you know, it's gotta be like, oh,
Frank: the time that I had to research, one of the things I found was the cluster. Fuck they had between one and two.
Oh really? Yeah.
ndent film. Of all time until:Frank: No shit. Yes. I saw something. What was it? 130, 5 million, this gross,
Scott: something like that. I didn't really look at the numbers I saw, but it was, I thought in one
Frank: of the articles I read one of the articles I read said
Scott: 1 35.
I don't think anyone knew. How, if it wasn't like an indie film and a big company had made it, there's no way it would've been this good until we
. And I read a little, I did [:Scott: an indie film. Yeah. At that time, wasn't it. Was it dimension or was it, uh, I think I saw dimension.
I think it might have been dimension.
Frank: I think I saw that
Scott: before the movie. Yeah. Back then. You know, that was when Miramax was mm-hmm like a indie is
Frank: dimension also scream.
Scott: Yeah. Sorry. Just saying. Yeah. A lot of west CRA movies are dimension. Yeah. Cool. Nah, he may have owned it or something. I, I don't even remember anymore.
Frank: Yeah. Well, and I mean, now you watch a movie. What? There's fucking eight production company credits before you start I actually saw something, somebody. Oh, what's the one you got me to watch with. Um, Not Michael Sarah, Jesse Eisenberg. um, the houses.
Scott: Oh, vivarium.
Frank: It was about vivarium. Go to the opening credit.
Fucking count the fucking production companies. Oh yeah, it's crazy. It was dumb. This guy did a TikTok and I was like, I watched that and I didn't realize how many different like flashes
which game I was playing, it [:Mm-hmm I remember being like the game production companies are still going by really slowly. And I was like, for as fast as video games load up, now you can. Play. Yeah. And that's what we all want. You're still looking, you're still gonna sit here and make me what, three seconds of a production company, the slow
Frank: flash, the, the fade fade out.
Yeah. The fade fade out. And then sometimes
Scott: the ation, I feel at least movies with lots of production companies listed at the beginning. They're aware of it. They're like, let's get through this real
Frank: fast. See the very one. It was painful and this guy's just laughing. well, he's looking. I had no idea. I guess we might have been talking, you know, oh fuck.
Scott: That move was so good though. It was worth it.
Frank: Arians worth it. You were right about that one.
I'm
Scott: glad I, yeah. The scene when they go to shredders warehouse or the, the foot clay hideout. Yeah, the hideout it's the east warehouse on Laman island. Yeah. Which is a Eastman and reference the guys who made the comic book.
t notice that. Yeah. That's. [:Scott: I didn't notice those two guys are, apparently they're listed in the cast as extras. You can't see Kevin Eastman. He's the guy who drives the garbage. At the end of the movie and then like jumps out and runs.
Yeah. But you just see
Frank: like his head. I did notice on the dashboard of, uh, the dump truck. There was a picture of like a hot chick, but she's like in a bathing suit, like a one piece. And I'm like, well, you know, imply it, but don't show it with the kids' movie. I guess the, the only like, like that's corny
Scott: is fun, sort of out of, uh, kid realm thing that I saw in this entire movie was Casey Jones when he says like, oh, you're claustrophobic.
And he's like, I, I've never looked at a guy that. Oh, I didn't notice. And he goes, no, and it's a fear of enclosed spaces and like, that was it. But I was like, oh,
Frank: how about the back
Scott: massage scene? I remember that being, uh, dude, April O'Neal's nipping in the kitchen. Feel
Frank: funny when I was a kid she's nipping in the kitchen, then she gets a back massage in the denture turtles walk in.
Who is it? Michael angel and Rafael. Oh, yeah.
Scott: It's wax wax joke.
Frank: which is a kid. I loved. That was awesome. I was like it's through. Oh,
Scott: good. [:Frank: It was, I, I was like, where's this coming from? How's she over here? You know,
Scott: like I remember she kissed him at the end, but that was it.
Didn't remember that
Frank: back massage. I didn't remember the back massage being like that cuz watching it now. I'm like, well that's fucking random, but he's
Scott: he's in his prime. That's. Elias was in the prophecy, you know, that's salsa. do you remember the prophecy? Christopher Walken? Yeah. And, uh, Elias Cody, who was he?
He's the main character in the prophecy. Is he, he's the guy who like, or he was a, a priest and then mm-hmm he has the whole break and leaves. And so the movie follows him. Mm. And then it also falls Christopher Walken, I guess I
Frank: need to
Scott: rewatch the prophecy. He's in the very beginning of the prophecy team, aren't there a couple movies.
Uh, there's three of them. Three, there might be five. Who knows. And was there a series. Oh, I don't know. I don't think so. Don't think so. No, I don't think they went that far. The prophecy. I remember the first prophecy movie is good. Vigo Morrison is the devil.
Frank: You. [:More
Scott: recent is he? I think he's done that a few times. A few times. I think he was in the killing as well at the end. Yeah. I was watching this when I was like, oh man, he doesn't know that he is gonna go bald with that beautiful hair. Long, beautiful hair. Yeah, because I didn't recognize him a few times when he started popping up more prominently
Frank: again, I think at the time of this movie, from what I calculated, he was 29.
So this is a 29. It's a 29
Scott: year old Stacy Jones. Okay. He's wearing sweatpants like gray sweatpants, the entire fucking movie. So he lands a reporter. In gray, sweat
Frank: pants, the grungy, obviously
Scott: unemployed. And I think he was wearing an athletic cup all the time. Yeah. He's I think they were like, if you wanna wear those , we're gonna have to deal with this.
This is for children.
Frank: So at the beginning you see the twin towers. Did they say that it's New York?
s lived by then. The cartoon [:Frank: say
Scott: it? I just wanted to know.
I'm sure. April O'Neil says it at the end of her news report. I'm April, O'Neil for channel three news, New York, you know? Okay. That'd be a good one. I just felt as I'm just making this up, I. Oh, okay. I don't, I didn't actually hear it. Are you Frank filling? I knew it was fucking New York. Everyone was eating pizza on the street.
Yeah, no, that was the second one. Now I'm mixing memories together.
Frank: I think, uh, the opening scene was the
Scott: city. Did you notice all the product placement, Frank? Yeah,
Frank: I did. But at the hide burger
Scott: king at the hideout, it was gonna be real weird. Ocean spray. Where was ocean spray on the table? They were all drinking it.
Oh, at April's apartment, but I realized also I saw Pepsi a bunch of times Uhhuh, I think Pepsi owns ocean spray or did, do they still have ocean spray? Ocean
Frank: spray is still a thing I believe. Oh, weird. um, yeah. You know, drink cranberries juice to pass the piss test. I don't think that'll work factor
Scott: fiction.
burger king. Yeah. It's
Frank: funny. It's funny. What you believe when you're young? Yeah, I
t it was gonna be pizza hut, [:Frank: fucking twice.
Scott: Twice there's crit there poster earlier there. Yes. And then RAF goes and sees it and thinks it's stupid.
yeah, no, I had that
Frank: on, cuz I there's no pleasing him as a child. I felt as if I made no critters correlation, the scene
Scott: where they go to the foot clans thing, I think I started talking about this and then got sidetracked. Then we drifted massively sidetracked narc the arcade game. Do you remember that shit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they were like pulling 'em outta places back. That was, that was good shit because everyone was like, that's the most violent video game ever. One
Frank: of those damn movies that made me want a skateboard, even though I could not skateboard. Cuz that cool ramp, I feel like this was why I bought a skateboard.
My first skateboard
Scott: was a teenage mu movie. I was just idolizing the delinquent foot clam dude. I was like, God, they got it. So good, man. I had the skateboard from the cartoon, like
Frank: the, it had them on the bottom and it was one of those that had a ton of that rubber trim, you know, it was like a oh yeah, yeah.
see on the streets nowaday. [:Scott: ever. You had the wrong skateboard
Frank: yeah. I was like, why don't the wheels roll
Scott: on this asphalt? I wanted one, they bought me one of those like plastic banana boards, you know? Oh, no, man.
It was awful. I did have one of those fucking balls that you, it was like the shittiest Pogo stick of all time. Oh. With the handle thing where it was like a disc and with a rubber ball stuck in it. And then you just, it was like a platform. You were just kind of bounce on it. We had some shit toys. We were being fed crap.
Gack stretch Armstrong, uh, mighty Mac plum was cool.
Frank: I think I was GAC overflow.
Scott: I had some. I think they got me both for Christmas or something. I never
Frank: had the moon shoes from Nickelodeon. Do you remember those where
Scott: they called the moon shoes? I would see them in the Sears catalog. I remember I'd go over to certain friends' houses.
See, they had these things where Sears would show you all the stuff they had. Yeah.
Frank: You could make your Christmas list
Scott: off that shit. It was the size of the family Bible, but they had an in turtle stuff in
Frank: there. And then you end up just going and buying some canyon river blues. Oh
Scott: God. [:I think Kelly pointed it out. Oh no, that was paper girls. I'm I'm getting my time travel. Oh shit. My tra my time travel. My
Frank: Jesus. All we had to people mentioned in tutorials three, and you go off on a time travel skit. Oh,
Scott: a Elias. Isn't that? Isn't three Casey Jones. He's he's back in time. He's white samurai.
Oh, fuck. Yeah.
Frank: Does he look like Rayden for
Scott: mortal combat? No, he looks like, uh, Colin Farrell in the Batman.
Frank: I haven't seen it yet. You will. One day you sounded like the alien from independence day. Peace. No, no. There you
Scott: go drilled it.
Frank: bill Pullman would be proud. Would data be proud? I don't know, was in a com.
Sorry, let's just make as many eighties and nineties references as we can. I
uh, take splinter. There's a [:Frank: There was a dead body on the floor when he was talking about his master
Scott: being slayed. I did read originally what's his name?
Taco. The, the number one guy Uhhuh, the shredders, number one, he was
Frank: also in a lot of movies as that guy. Yeah. I feel like
Scott: around that guy, guy created a martial art sword style of his own. He was a real
Frank: badass. Did he know the guy who could lift dumbbells with his
Scott: nuts? I mean, everybody knows that guy.
Frank: Like, wait, are we talking about the guy? Everybody has one of those kids, men who stir goats are the guy who used to open for nine, seven. I'll be in
Scott: the other room.
I did feel really sad. Like emotionally. Wrecked when like April tells them all about how she's like keeping this antique business open for her dead father. Yeah. And then the fucking foot clam burns it to the ground,
which
Frank: is also her house above it. They're Bob's
Scott: burger's style. Oh, let's back up a little bit.
? Why is there? Why is there [:Frank: worried, she didn't let him
Scott: know after she was mugged. It seems weird to go there and then be a little too friendly about it and too, at ease and bring your teenage son who steals $20 from little fucking ginger.
Fuck. I mean, he gives it back, but she seemed to be cool with him too. Well, then he comes back again with this teenage son after he gets in trouble and he takes her. A story that I didn't know she was on. I didn't put that
Frank: together as a kid. Yeah. That the, that the cop that the chief had called him to work a deal.
My entire childhood. I don't think I ever grasped that actually let me refr last night was the first time I
Scott: noticed that you noticed the politics at work in teenage mutant
Frank: ninja turtles. Mm-hmm it was the first time I noticed that portion
Scott: of the movie. So that's why she got fired because
Frank: she ended up slamming him again in the next interview
Scott: about being mu see, when I was a kid, all I saw was like, this guy's concerned.
eone else's shower. He just, [:Frank: yeah. I mean, she could have had the dildo suctioned onto the tile and she
Scott: almost sees the ninja turtle. Yeah. But then the fight scene after that was fucking amazing. As far as like choreographed fight scenes with how much was going on the one inside the antique shop anime.
Yeah. Yeah. And on the roof where it's just RAF dude, the head pop, like it was.
Frank: Was it Michael Angela that popped his head into miss getting?
Scott: Uh, yeah, I think so. Yeah. And they did they bring axes? Yeah. The, that plan just travels around the van full of axes because
Frank: just in case what they took out, like the first wave and then all of a sudden there's, there's a foot soldier in the doorway,
Scott: the ax guy, get him.
Yeah.
Frank: Hey, get, get Zach. But
Scott: that's exactly what I remember from the cartoon. Yeah. But everything burns to the ground. And then for some reason, Something about them go into the farm mm-hmm cause they go to the April's farm after that. So this is the thing
Frank: April O'Neal how mu how much does your family have that you take almost no care of she let lets the farmhouse go to shit.
The antique shop is covered in dust. Her apartment
Scott: is like, [:Frank: obviously I feel like there was some money in the family or at least there was some
Scott: like, well, I mean, in this, she works.
Maybe you don't get paid as much when you work for channel three, because in the cartoon, she works for channel six. Oh. And in the comic book, she's not a reporter at all. She's a computer programmer in the fucking eighties. Wow. It's progressive as fuck. Yes. Awesome. I mean,
Frank: there's still, um, a very low number of females in the engineering
Scott: field in today's age.
I forgot you worked for an engineering company for a second. I didn't see that
Frank: coming. Yeah, no, there's not a lot of female engineers. So, I mean, for that to be in the eighties, in a
Scott: that's that's more useful in like a sci-fi world being a computer player. Yeah. There like, yeah. Maybe if you're Batman, nobody's trying to lowest lane.
This shit. That's not Batman Superman. I know it's
Frank: Vicky. Whoa. I know I
or lowest light. I just like [:What would it came up the other times in the very end? The guy is the number one right hand man to the shredder Uhhuh. He's standing there next to him is the guy who plays Leonardo in the suit. Okay.
Frank: And is this when they walk up on Casey in the redhead trying to
Scott: steal splinter? Yeah, cause I don't know if we said this before, but every single.
Ninja turtle actor in their suit. Mm-hmm makes an appearance somewhere else in the movie. The pizza guy is Michael Angelo in the suit. Shut up. Yeah. So every single one of 'em the foot clan that when April gets mugged the second time in the subway, he slaps across the face. Yeah. That is Donatello, but he's in another costume.
Orrick, he's standing right [:And so when they pull in, I had to keep watching, I REW
Frank: wounded wound. Casey's freeing splinter with the red hat. Yes. And then he, they turn and they're there.
Scott: You're saying this. It's after that. It's just after that, he's in that scene towards the end of the, the Casey Jones. Okay. Fight golf club fight. . So I've been so never call that a Dell sport.
Again, I've
Frank: been so exhausted this week. I, I told you I fell asleep watching it last night. Mm-hmm I woke up re like, you know, I hit rewind quite a bit and I was like, okay, here I am passed out again within five minutes. That's when I was like, just go to bed, finish it tomorrow. Turns out I was 45 minutes away from the end when I actually started falling asleep.
her face. And then just pow. [:I was like, what the fuck? . Yeah. Because it's April
Scott: on. That would not happen now. No, unless the movie was for adults. Yeah. Yeah, no, no. This was, this was a, a kid's movie that was treated very much like an adult movie.
Frank: So do rats have the capacity to mimic their owners?
Scott: This one learned karate. Ninja soon,
Frank: obviously.
Yeah, obviously,
Scott: but, and he did, he did it pretty good. This
Frank: is before the mutation began
Scott: that scene where he was doing that, Kelly was like, oh my God, like, it looked bad. Tell me that if a rat doing karate wouldn't look exactly fucking like that. or like the, the ninja turtles themselves, when they're babies, that's what they look like.
remembered the most go blue. [:He's like a little PRI team mist would clear that right up. do you remember those PRI team missed inhalers? Were those, those, they were epi. In an inhaler and they still fucking sell 'em at Walgreens, not behind the pharmacy, but I remember I had a emergency case for allergy at one point mm-hmm and they like gave you a rush.
Like, you'd be like, And you get a little like shaky. The
Frank: only reason I ever had 'em is because how many movies and TV shows was that
Scott: in back in the day? PRI team. Miss? Yeah. Oh, a lot. And Bakka. Yeah, too.
Frank: Bakka. That's the other one, but I mean, how many of those, like date movies or weird comedies from the eighties was that shit in.
And it, it didn't taste
Scott: that good. Oh, it tasted bad. I had actual asthma inhalers, albuterol, inhalers taste bad. I was convinced it was like water and taste bad. And that was it.
e it's, if you saw it at the [:Yeah. I'd end up doing the whole
Scott: thing. And like, here's an epinephrine inhaler, little boy. well, you,
Frank: you know, when you're a kid and you don't have your limitations, I would just sit there and just spray it until the fucking thing was empty. I, they wouldn't last more than a night for. Yeah, it'd be gone in a day.
So I'm inhaling that much of that shit.
Scott: that's crazy,
Frank: dude. No, that proud of placement. And like you said, the burger king. Yeah. The burger king one caught my eye
Scott: and then the big, final fight in the streets felt like the cartoon big time one hit and the guy goes down, one hit and the guy goes down. But that one on the roof in April's apartment felt like a legit martial arts film.
They fucking
Frank: threw Raphael through the fucking.
Scott: The skylight. Oh yeah. And him being in a coma, it was, it was that really hit me back in the day. Did you notice, you can see the actor's mouth inside Donatello's mouth in that scene? I've seen
Frank: that on a clip online, but I did not see it in the movie
Scott: where this was the first time I noticed it.
I'd heard that
ve seen the still shot. I've [:Scott: mind, I was looking for it when I, you were looking for it. Yeah. I'd heard it was there. I wasn't hunting for that, but that's the only other, the only other time is when they're at the fire.
Mm-hmm you can see the little slits under their mask. Because the light's coming up from the below them, they can't control it. What
Frank: I could see was there's obviously like a body suit portion
Scott: underneath, like the head piece or something. Yeah. There was a seam where they tucked it in, for sure. Yeah. And
Frank: then under the shell, there's someone they're leaning forward and so their arms are forward.
And in between, I guess their shoulder blade in the shell, you see this weird, uh, what did it look? It was almost like a swayed. Oh, really? Green swayed. Oh, weird. Yeah. And because you could see like the wrinkles in it. No, I didn't notice that you could
Scott: see it was thin. It. Really good. The muscles look good.
The suit didn't look loose. The skin moved like skin. The number
Frank: I kept seeing when I was looking things up was 70 pounds. That's what those guys had to wear was 70 pounds worth
Scott: of stuff. That's why those guys, those guys should get more credit playing those parts. Yeah. That's one
Frank: of the weird little [:Scott: two.
Yeah. Cause I always was like, Cory Feldman is inside that suit such a fun and he's not, he wasn't there. Yeah. He was a good Donatello's voice. I think he may have only done it this movie though. Oh,
Frank: what about the burbs? What was his name? Steve. He kind of had that like, uh,
Scott: oh, I meant, uh, I think he only does one inch turtles movie.
Oh
Frank: yeah. I'm so sorry. I thought you meant his voice may have, did you see who did, uh, the voice in the cartoon for one of them? No. Hold on. Um, But yeah, the burbs, Ugh. I might have to find the fucking
Scott: burbs. Is this gonna be one of those things? Like the Garfield, Peter Bankman thing? Um, Garfield, Peter van.
You didn't know about that? Wait, Garfield. Peter Venkman Peter venkman bill Murray. Yeah. And Ghostbusters, they asked bill Murray what he thought of the cartoon. And he was like, oh, everybody sounds great. I sound like Garfield. And I think it was a joke because Lorenzo music who does Garfield's voice did Peter Venkman's.
n bill Murray ended up doing [:Frank: weird. Right. Did you know that Kennedy's secretary was Lincoln and I'm just playing I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Different podcast.
I'm sorry. Um, no. Um, when Leonardo's voice actor was changed between seasons two and three. It was explained in show as being a result of damage to the larynx during his battle, with the foot clan in the invasion part two, since then he was hence forth. And for the duration of the series voiced by Seth green.
Scott: Oh weird, man. Fuck. Yeah, that's fucking
Frank: crazy. So fucking Seth green. I have, we talked about how much he has done
Scott: across the board in our lifetime.
Frank: Yeah. I mean, what was that movie airborne? The roller blade movie where he was the cousin. I
Scott: never saw that.
Frank: Oh fuck. Okay. So, okay. Yes, I, it was airborne. He was like the cousin.
Scott: Um, I remember thinking role up light. Stupid I was
to watch all the shit. Yeah. [:In
Scott: the cartoon. That's so weird. Cause I don't think the cartoon ran. Wait, is it the one we watch?
There's been a lot of cartoons.
Frank: Oh good fucking point. I forget
Scott: that they have the one we watch shouldn't run for that long, but they sold a lot of stuff they did. And they sold a lot of fucking VHS tapes. I
Frank: Ooh, if I could find one of
Scott: those, I have. You have one? Yeah. I have the, the one where they get shrunk by Craig.
Oh
Frank: no, I'm having a memory. Like I found one at one point and gave it. It's
Scott: literally just like, I think it's one or two episodes on a VHS. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And they would sell you that shit for like 10 bucks. It was fucking two. There's no way we would tolerate that shit these days. you need way more of a TV show.
ons and stuff. Common. Yeah. [:Frank: back to VHS. We talked about VHS last week,
Scott: too.
I think maybe did we TW a bla did
Frank: TW ABL. Yeah. So fucking Seth green. Well, at some point, Seth green was Leonardo still. Cool. Still cool. Still badass. Very good point. I forget. It's been done. Yeah. The cartoons there were like, uh, cartoon movies more recently than
Scott: nut, right? Probably. Yeah. I think Nickelodeon.
Took over mm-hmm the ninja turtle was the whole thing. Again, I don't even remember what channel it was on when I was a kid, it was probably CBS , but I don't know one of those. Yeah. I seem to have watched
Frank: it a lot. There was one house I got baby at, and that was the high point of the day was when that was on TV.
home, it was used against me.[:Scott: fuck ninja turtles. I could probably go on about this movie for just hours. So many weird things in this, but this is so fun. A movie that I watched so much, I didn't even remember. I watched it this much. It's crazy.
Frank: Yeah. Things were just coming to me and I was like, well, it, I did have it on VHS. I had a VCR
Scott: in the bedroom.
Yeah. I knew lines were coming way before they were
Frank: coming. Yeah. I knew they were coming without knowing that they were
Scott: actually coming the line would come to me like seconds before they'd say it. And it was really weird because it, it came from way far. Motherfucker.
Frank: He was in like the 20, mid 26.
Scott: Oh, that's what it was.
It wasn't.
Frank: Ah, well, he's still been a part of it
Scott: at some point. I feel like I looked up who did their voices and it wasn't, it wasn't
Frank: related, still take away from how much Seth green has done.
Scott: Yeah. And then did trues cartoon was bad. Shit fucking crazy. Compared to the movie, the amount of work that went into this and the fighting and stuff like that.
ched it cuz I was like, I'll [:Had to be so likable and safe. It turns out we had it easy. They were worried about the wrong things.
Frank: So she was, will Patton's wife in Armageddon, the estranged
Scott: wife. Oh, the fair weather wife from Armageddon. Yes. The fair
Frank: weather wife from Armageddon is, uh, is the original April ne from the first
Scott: movie.
She's come up a couple times in things we've watched, I think, um, for
Frank: this. So I've had the pleasure of watching Halloween town. It's an it's like a, yeah. You
Scott: told me this before. I think you told me on the podcast. She, her being in Halloween time, she's the
Frank: mom in Halloween town. And
Scott: is that another little
Frank: kid thing?
It's a Disney thing. Yeah. I knew nothing about it because it was, it came out after our time, but yeah, Oly knows about it.
at Jurassic park TV show for [:I was like, I have no fucking idea. What she's talking about.
Frank: Camp Corta is it's its own story about Jurassic
Scott: world stuff has gone off my radar. No,
Frank: and that's
Scott: the thing, you know? Um, it's kind of a bummer too. Maybe I just need to wash ducktails and drink a yuhoo silly sci-fi that's my little kid movie is like kind of a bad sci-fi movie.
