[0:15] Jesse McAnally: Hello, I'm Jesse McAnally and I'm Alan Seales.
[0:18] Alan Seales: And I'm Liz Eston.
[0:20] Jesse McAnally: And welcome to Carrey'd Away, a podcast where we explore the films and television shows starring the one and only James Eugene Carrey.
[0:28] Jesse McAnally: And you guys, we're back at it into deep insanity. Like, we had a couple weeks of normality. We had Peggy Sue Got Married. We had a factory of ducks. But now we're into things that make you feel yucky for watching it once again.
[0:43] Alan Seales: I don't know.
[0:44] Jesse McAnally: I don't think this is—I mean, okay. So does Dirty Harry make you feel yucky?
[0:49] Alan Seales: I'm sorry.
[0:50] Jesse McAnally: Yes.
[0:51] Alan Seales: Really?
[0:51] Jesse McAnally: Have you watched the original Dirty Harry?
[0:54] Alan Seales: We just did. This is not the original Dirty Harry. This is like the third sequel.
[0:58] Jesse McAnally: Oh, well, no, I didn't watch the very, very first Dirty Harry.
[1:02] Alan Seales: Wait, and which one does he say, "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
[1:05] Jesse McAnally: It's the first one, after he just, you know, destroys an entire half of a town because he needed one guy and then he murders him in cold blood, anyways.
[1:13] Alan Seales: Okay. So this is—
[1:14] Jesse McAnally: Like, the entire thing about Dirty Harry is he is a bad cop. Like, he is a very mean police brutality kind of guy, and he's respected for it.
[1:24] Alan Seales: Because you know what? The only way we get things done is to take civilians' rights away from them.
[1:29] Jesse McAnally: I guess so. I mean, it's one way to, you know, kind of get what you need in the world.
[1:33] Alan Seales: I guess. But how about we jump into our time machine back to the year 1988, where Margaret Thatcher becomes the longest serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century, the first US test tube quintuplets are born in Royal Oak, Michigan. And Vice President George W. Bush meets with the—
[1:49] Jesse McAnally: I don't think that's accurate. I don't think that's accurate information I got there. I'm gonna pick something else.
[1:57] Alan Seales: Because A, George W. Bush was never vice president. George H.W. Bush was.
[2:05] Jesse McAnally: And US President Ronald Reagan arrives in Brussels, Belgium for the first NATO summit in six years. And also Clint Eastwood is back on his bullshit and makes the film The Dead Pool.
[2:17] Alan Seales: So you think you know what Dirty Harry's up to? Take another look.
[2:30] Jesse McAnally: Maybe I'll start my own Dead Pool and put you on it.
[2:33] Alan Seales: Clint Eastwood is Dirty Harry. He's just learned a new game.
[2:39] Jesse McAnally: The Dead Pool.
[2:40] Alan Seales: So The Dead Pool was released on July 13th, 1988, with a screenplay by Steve Sharon and a story by Steve Sharon, Dirk Pearson, Sandy Shaw, Harry Julian Fink, and R.M. Fink, directed by Buddy Van Horn, who was Clint Eastwood's stunt double for years, and is basically just a hired hand to do whatever Clint Eastwood wants. He did a lot of films, including Every Which Way But Loose, where he was acting against a monkey.
[3:05] Jesse McAnally: Um, Clint Eastwood has a long and varied career, which is very interesting, but not what we're talking about now. Maybe in our next podcast series.
[3:12] Alan Seales: The plot of The Dead Pool is Inspector Dirty Harry Callahan must stop a secret contest to murder various San Francisco celebrities, with himself being one of the targets.
[3:23] Jesse McAnally: So, Alan, as you said before, you kinda like the movie. Liz, what did you think about it?
[3:27] Liz Eston: Man, I like it.
[3:30] Jesse McAnally: Why not? What about it? Let's give me a specific.
[3:34] Liz Eston: So, for context, I have never seen a Dirty Harry movie in my life.
[3:37] Jesse McAnally: This is Dirty Harry number one.
[3:38] Liz Eston: Okay, Dirty Harry number one.
[3:39] Jesse McAnally: This is Dirty Harry Five.
[3:40] Liz Eston: Not me for you, this is Dirty Harry One.
[3:41] Jesse McAnally: This is Dirty Harry One for Sunday.
[3:44] Liz Eston: It's for the series from—it's Dirty Harry Five in the timeline.
[3:47] Liz Eston: And I have no idea who this man is. I don't know anything about him, and I don't care. And then just it was interesting, but I just—I didn't connect with it in any way. Just because like it's just—it's Clint Eastwood. He thinks he's so funny, but he's genuinely not funny half the time.
[4:03] Alan Seales: Like, what is our history with Clint Eastwood collectively? Like, as a figure, as an actor, as a director, what is our relationship with him? Because it's almost as interesting as talking about a relationship with Jim Carrey. He's been a constant figure probably since all of us were born before then.
[4:19] Liz Eston: Yes.
[4:21] Alan Seales: He's still working too.
[4:22] Liz Eston: Still working, still directing.
[4:24] Alan Seales: And at least later in my adult life, seems to be doing some pretty solid projects.
[4:31] Jesse McAnally: I don't know. I never actually thought about it. I've been—I’ve shifted over to try to think about what our podcast all about Clint Eastwood's filmography is gonna be called.
[4:41] Alan Seales: Um, Clint Podswood.
[4:44] Jesse McAnally: Podcastwoodsturs? Paint your podcast?
[4:48] Alan Seales: Do you feel lucky? Podcast?
[4:51] Jesse McAnally: Um, I have a begrudging respect for Clint Eastwood. I don't particularly like the man. I don't think he's a very engaging actor. I don't think he's a very striking presence outside of the Sergio Leone movies. That's a big asterisk. But his point there is to kind of be enigmatic. But when he tries to play relatable everyman, it falls on his face hardcore.
[5:15] Alan Seales: I have watched the first Dirty Harry movie, as called Dirty Harry, which is like, you know, if I was in charge of the Zodiac case, I would have got it done, because I would have killed any civilian in my way, which is basically the Dirty Harry way, which is I will pull out my gun, kill whoever I need, and it doesn't matter because I represent the law and whatever I say goes.
[5:34] Jesse McAnally: Right.
[5:35] Alan Seales: Um, which is a horrendous way and leads to a lot of what I believe the mentality of modern police officers are, and what is leading us into a crazy relationship between civilian and police that has reached a head in the last couple of years, as we have seen in numerous protests, numerous call outs, and the fact that we can get everything on camera. Because I think a lot of the mentality brought about by Dirty Harry. That being said, I'm trying to let all that go, 'cause I actually kinda like Clint Eastwood as a director. I think Sully was a pretty good film. I think that Hereafter has like one of the most incredible hurricane sequences I've ever seen on film.
[6:17] Jesse McAnally: And as a figure, I appreciate anyone that's just still making films about him doing things, like his last film, The Mule. He has not one, but two three-ways with women that are young. And that's the perk of being able to direct your and act in your own films.
[6:36] Alan Seales: Remind me to be a—no, don't do that. Don't remind me to do anything.
[6:40] Jesse McAnally: Um, how about we get back to Jim Carrey?
[6:42] Alan Seales: Yes, so why are we talking about this Clint Eastwood film on this Jim Carrey podcast?
[6:48] Jesse McAnally: You are wondering. This is probably Jim Carrey's biggest film role yet.
[6:53] Alan Seales: Absolutely.
[6:54] Jesse McAnally: And he is dead at—his death is the inciting incident of this movie.
[6:58] Alan Seales: Yeah, he kicks off the action.
[7:00] Jesse McAnally: Without him, the movie doesn't happen.
[7:02] Alan Seales: And he's good.
[7:04] Jesse McAnally: He's really, really good. He still has a lot of that weird kind of—I don't know what I am insecurity, but they are letting him just kinda go off a bit. And in that YouTube clip, right, that we could probably insert right now.
[7:18] Alan Seales: Not many people know this, but Clint Eastwood was one of my first supporters in the business. At the time I was a struggling actor, and I was cast to play the part of a crazed drug fiend rock star named Johnny Squares in the Dirty Harry film The Dead Pool. For my audition, I was put on tape singing an Alice Cooper song. I went completely nuts. Afterwards, I wondered if I had gone too far. In those days, I still worried about that sort of thing. But when I finally met Clint, he just said to me—
[8:17] Jesse McAnally: Could very well be that he just did himself all over the place.
[8:21] Alan Seales: I put an air quotes "himself" character, which seems in character. And then worried he did too much. Which I think it was very telling of every episode that we've—or sort of what we discussed up until this point is he's not finally finding who he is until it sounds like now is when he's starting to figure out like, oh, I can do the funny faces. I can do the off-the-wall kind of behavior, and it works for the character because he even said there he's in a—he wasn't sure if he went too far. And then in this scene where he gives himself a flu shot, as you said earlier, he overdoses on a flu shot.
[8:59] Jesse McAnally: Right into the vein.
[9:02] Alan Seales: Right into the vein. He ties it up, overdoses. And but in that beginning of that scene when he's doing the film, he does the stereotypical like his—the corners of his mouth touch his collarbones, whatever he can do there.
[9:15] Jesse McAnally: Sucks, man.
[9:17] Alan Seales: How can I sing with shit exploding all over the place?
[9:20] Jesse McAnally: It's just an accident, John.
[9:22] Alan Seales: If you ask me, this whole movie is an accident.
[9:24] Jesse McAnally: How the fuck did I let myself get talked into this shit?
[9:27] Alan Seales: Johnny, you needed a music video and I needed this sequence for the film. Stop complaining. We're both getting what we want.
[9:33] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, well, I don't see why we couldn't shoot on a nice warm sound stage instead of a goddamn meat locker.
[9:38] Alan Seales: I tell you, I need a code so the audience can see your breath when you sing.
[9:42] Jesse McAnally: It's an effect.
[9:43] Alan Seales: Brilliant. Won't be original or creative, but at least the audience will know I froze my ass off.
[9:48] Jesse McAnally: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
[9:50] Alan Seales: It means a director with talent would have the guts to shoot something original instead of ripping off old movies like The Exorcist.
[9:59] Jesse McAnally: It's a homage.
[10:01] Alan Seales: You stupid. And he's playing a rock star that is addicted to heroin and flu shots. Dies of an apparent flu shot overdose.
[10:12] Jesse McAnally: Um, however, we see very clearly, there's no mystery.
[10:21] Alan Seales: I can't bring him this one too.
[10:23] Jesse McAnally: I was gonna say Matlock.
[10:25] Alan Seales: Either one of them could have figured this one out because like we see who it is, and then Dirty Harry is called onto the scene, and Jim Carrey was being directed by a very young, very ponytailed Liam Neeson, using his natural accent for once.
[10:25] Jesse McAnally: Liam Neeson.
[10:43] Alan Seales: Um, I love Liam Neeson. This is gonna be a tangent, but—and I know for a fact I brought this up on Musicals with Cheese before. Do you guys know about Liam Peason?
[10:53] Jesse McAnally: No.
[10:54] Alan Seales: No.
[10:54] Jesse McAnally: This is—who is Liam Peason?
[10:56] Alan Seales: Liam Peason?
[10:58] Jesse McAnally: So, context. When Liam Neeson was married, he was married to Natasha Richardson. She tragically died in a skiing accident, leaving him really broken by it. This is gonna get serious for a second. Um, and part of his grieving was he would go out to bars and just drink and drink and drink to the point of blacking out.
[11:17] Alan Seales: However, doing that does not stop you from being a celebrity, and it does not stop people from taking pictures of you.
[11:24] Jesse McAnally: Um, so there are so many photos of Liam Neeson taking photos with fans with so much piss in his pants.
[11:32] Alan Seales: I just put in Liam Peason into Google, and the first result is a Reddit result that's titled "Why Does Liam Neeson Pee His Pants So Much?"
[11:40] Jesse McAnally: Like, it is ridiculous how much this has happened.
[11:44] Alan Seales: It has become a thing, but I think it's so—it does stem from tragedy. I don't mean to make fun of his tragedy, but yeah, this is painful to look at.
[11:56] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.
[11:58] Alan Seales: Never before in my life could I have imagined someone having so many photos of themselves with piss in their pants.
[12:04] Jesse McAnally: And not knowing it and continuing to repeat the same behavior on top of it.
[12:08] Alan Seales: Yes.
[12:09] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.
[12:09] Alan Seales: Um, which the photos alone are sad, but at first glance, without that context, kinda funny.
[12:16] Jesse McAnally: Well, uh, how—I don't know how old he was at the time.
[12:19] Alan Seales: Making fun of people's inability to control their bodily functions, probably.
[12:25] Jesse McAnally: But at a certain point, I have to wonder, maybe he just doesn't care.
[12:28] Alan Seales: I mean, he doesn't seem like a guy that's that insecure about things.
[12:33] Jesse McAnally: I'm a particular guy with a particular set of skills, and I like to pee in my pants.
[12:37] Alan Seales: Two Liam Neesons kidnap each other's daughters.
[12:43] Jesse McAnally: I have your daughter.
[12:44] Alan Seales: You have my daughter.
[12:46] Jesse McAnally: We should do a trade offer.
[12:48] Alan Seales: I'm willing to do a trade, but I want to tell you I have your daughter, but I also have your other daughter.
[12:54] Jesse McAnally: So I've got two daughters of yours.
[12:56] Alan Seales: So anytime I think of Liam Neeson, I bring that up.
[12:59] Jesse McAnally: He comes off really good in this movie, though.
[13:02] Alan Seales: He was hypothetically 58 at the time with him constantly pissing his pants all everywhere.
[13:08] Jesse McAnally: How old is he now?
[13:09] Alan Seales: He's uh, 71.
[13:11] Jesse McAnally: Oh gosh.
[13:11] Alan Seales: Looks good, I guess.
[13:13] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, he's doing well. He's doing the geezer teasers now where you can buy 500 films from him a week but on the red box.
[13:20] Alan Seales: Geezer teaser.
[13:21] Jesse McAnally: Is that like—is that old people's cameo?
[13:23] Alan Seales: Kind of. It's those films, those action films that don't really exist that have like five mid-2000s boomer celebrity action stars. Like John Travolta's in like 50 of them, Liam Neeson's in like 50 of them, Bruce Willis was in a ton of them. Um, and it's just like they get paid two million dollars for half a day's work and then they get to plaster them all over the cover.
[13:45] Jesse McAnally: Okay. I want to be a geezer teaser.
[13:47] Alan Seales: I would like two million dollars.
[13:48] Jesse McAnally: I feel that they—a lot of them have earned it, and are you saying I didn't earn it?
[13:52] Alan Seales: Not yet.
[13:52] Jesse McAnally: Damn it. Wait, wait till Dars of the Domino comes out, and you're the breakout star.
[13:57] Alan Seales: Look at that shoulder.
[14:00] Jesse McAnally: Um, that being said, Jim Carrey could have easily fallen into that. Um, and he has chosen a very different path, which is I'm just gonna fall off the face of the earth.
[14:10] Jesse McAnally: But he's not though, because the next Sonic movie's coming out next year.
[14:14] Alan Seales: He is not signed on for that movie.
[14:15] Jesse McAnally: Wait, what?
[14:16] Alan Seales: My kids are gonna be upset.
[14:17] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, he is not signed on for that movie.
[14:20] Alan Seales: In fact, he openly said after Sonic 2, he's like, I think I'm retiring.
[14:24] Jesse McAnally: And they were like, he didn't sign a contract for a third one.
[14:27] Alan Seales: Um, we're making a third one, but when Ben Schwartz was asked about it, and he's like, I hope Jim comes back. I like Jim, but uh if he's not back, he's not back.
[14:35] Jesse McAnally: You're right.
[14:36] Alan Seales: I'm looking at the Sonic 3 cast list, and he is not listed.
[14:40] Jesse McAnally: Okay, so Jim Carrey was supposed to play Modoc in Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, and they replaced him last minute with Corey Stoll from the first Ant-Man.
[14:49] Alan Seales: Like that was uh just about announced, and then he dropped.
[14:52] Jesse McAnally: Interesting.
[14:54] Alan Seales: When we reach the end of our list, there will be uh a segment of unmade or future projects, like where we talk about the things that he was supposed to be in or didn't end up making or never got made altogether.
[15:07] Jesse McAnally: Um, and I have a lot to say about that because I have uh I as a child I did a lot of research into that.
[15:12] Alan Seales: He was supposed to be in a Ripley's Believe It or Not movie directed by Tim Burton, which would have been fucking incredible.
[15:18] Jesse McAnally: Wait, Sonic?
[15:19] Alan Seales: Uh, just kidding. I know it's Jim Carrey.
[15:22] Jesse McAnally: Do you know what LT was supposed to be?
[15:23] Alan Seales: Howard Hughes in a fucking Christopher Nolan made Howard Hughes biopic.
[15:28] Jesse McAnally: What?
[15:28] Alan Seales: But then Martin E. Scorsese beat him to it with The Aviator and he dropped it.
[15:32] Jesse McAnally: And now Chris Nolan has been wanting to use Jim Carrey again ever since, and it's just not worked out.
[15:38] Alan Seales: Oh man.
[15:39] Jesse McAnally: Oh, that's so sad.
[15:40] Alan Seales: Oh man.
[15:41] Jesse McAnally: Well, it's I I I'm gonna do this again.
[15:44] Alan Seales: I just uh Heather, who did he date the anti-vaxxer?
[15:47] Jesse McAnally: Not Heather Lycard.
[15:49] Alan Seales: Jenny McCarthy.
[15:49] Jesse McAnally: Jenny McCarthy.
[15:50] Alan Seales: I was listening back to our episode one the other day, and I just like go in for five whole minutes on him and Jenny McCarthy.
[15:56] Jesse McAnally: And or no, Heather Locklear, you're like, guys, it's it's it's Jenny McCarthy.
[16:01] Alan Seales: And I'm like, fuck.
[16:03] Jesse McAnally: Alan, I have this information just stuck in the back of my head for no reason.
[16:07] Alan Seales: I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it.
[16:09] Jesse McAnally: You make a podcast about it, obviously.
[16:11] Alan Seales: That is the only reason why I'm here. I have to do something with this information to show it wasn't wasted.
[16:16] Jesse McAnally: Speaking of which, we have to get through ten more episodes, but yeah.
[16:19] Alan Seales: Speaking of which, we've got The Dead Pool to talk about.
[16:23] Jesse McAnally: The film is just a murder mystery. Honestly, it is not that more complex than your basic episode of Law and Order.
[16:30] Alan Seales: It truly, truly is not an engaging mystery.
[16:33] Jesse McAnally: It does not have an engaging detective. As someone that is working on a mystery, I am baffled at the things that it's just like, yeah, we're just gonna show you the guy early on. We're just gonna tell you what's going on, because uh the romance of the center, though each appropriate, and I did kind of appreciate that, because we don't get that that very often anymore, was nothing.
[16:56] Alan Seales: Let me ask you something, Miss Walker.
[16:58] Jesse McAnally: Uh, Sam.
[16:59] Alan Seales: Sam? Do you like cops?
[17:02] Jesse McAnally: As long as they're not in my rear view mirror, why? I just wondered what we're supposed to be talking about here, other than the uh damage to the camera.
[17:11] Alan Seales: Oh no, no, I I'm willing to let the insurance company deal with that. And uh I think I can be persuaded to drop the lawsuit, but I want something in return.
[17:26] Jesse McAnally: What would that be?
[17:28] Alan Seales: I want your story.
[17:29] Jesse McAnally: I mean, a young Patricia Clarkson, though. It was really nice to see her in this. I feel like everyone outside of Clint Eastwood is doing their best, but it feels like it's a C minus version of every emotional arc and every cliché. Like he gets a new partner at the beginning, um, who happens to be uh an Asian man, and nothing is done there. They just exist next to each other, and there's the implication that there's racism on Dirty Harry's part, and it's never explored. The guy might as well not be there, and then at the end he gets shot, but it's a bulletproof vest. Nothing there. There are no characters in this, just fucking puppets being like marionetted around to get to the end of the movie.
[18:13] Alan Seales: I guess we don't have to put you off the street completely. If you'd just be more cooperative with the press.
[18:18] Jesse McAnally: Anything else?
[18:20] Alan Seales: Yeah. Quan's moving over from youth gang task force to homicide.
[18:30] Jesse McAnally: Good. Homicide can always use a cop with Al's experience.
[18:33] Alan Seales: I'm glad you agree. Because if you want to stay on the street, you take Quan with you to watch your back.
[18:39] Jesse McAnally: Now hold on to That's final.
[18:41] Alan Seales: Let's just swell. Because most of my partners end up in the hospital or dead.
[18:46] Jesse McAnally: Why don't you ask Al how he feels about all that?
[18:48] Alan Seales: What about a Quan? Any objections to working with Callahan here?
[18:52] Jesse McAnally: I uh think I can handle it.
[18:55] Alan Seales: Get a bulletproof this, kid.
[18:57] Jesse McAnally: Well, personally, I think teaming Callahan with a Chinese American would be very good for the department's image.
[19:02] Alan Seales: Well, I mean, this could be a rather short episode, because Jim Carrey's scene was itty bitty weeny tiny compared to the whole thing.
[19:10] Jesse McAnally: Yes, but that being said, Jim Carrey's the only one with an energy and uh an intensity to them. No one else brings that. Like Liam Neeson is doing his job, but no one else is doing much.
[19:22] Alan Seales: Angry Police Captain is doing something. He's I don't know his name, so like Angry Police Captain. You know, Dirty Harry, Jim Carrey, and that's it.
[19:32] Jesse McAnally: So this is well, this is Warner Brothers who made this, so it's Jim Carrey's first like big budget film he's done. So it's probably pretty cool along those lines for him.
[19:42] Alan Seales: So this wasn't even Clint Eastwood directing this yet. But yeah, got fifty-three percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
[19:47] Jesse McAnally: So, you know, I mean what it's worth.
[19:50] Alan Seales: I mean, yeah, but also like how many of them are reviewing it now with the hindsight and how many are reviewing it from when it came out. But I feel like Rotten Tomatoes either is gonna be high or super low, and you want it to be one or the other, because if it's super low, it's gonna be a cult classic.
[20:02] Jesse McAnally: That's not always true.
[20:04] Alan Seales: Well, super high super high doesn't mean it's really good either, in my opinion. I don't think Rotten Tomatoes is a good estimate. Like there are movies that are super rotten on Rotten Tomatoes that I think are fantastic.
[20:14] Jesse McAnally: Like Hook.
[20:15] Alan Seales: Hook is a fantastic children's film.
[20:17] Jesse McAnally: Did not know Hook was rated poorly.
[20:19] Alan Seales: I will agree with you on that one.
[20:20] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, like Rotten Tomatoes is not a barometer for anything, if you ask me, aside from the like, hey, w what do you want to remember what Roger Ebert said about this? Which is the only reason why I go there is like, yeah, I'll check out what Roger Ebert said about this in like two sentences.
[20:35] Alan Seales: Fair, fair. I mean, uh Rotten Tomatoes is probably like ten people in a in a van out there really watching movies all day.
[20:41] Jesse McAnally: As far as the Dirty Harry series goes, as far as box office, this is the second lowest to the first, and the first was just kind of like this cheap breakout hit, so the fact that it made that much money was kind of a miracle. Every other Dirty Harry movie aside from the original made more than this. This is the fourth lowest. And the reason why they stopped with this one. Like, like the the shimmer had fallen off of this franchise hardcore, and you could feel it. Everyone looks tired of this shit. And I'm surprised uh Eastwood hasn't come back to it at some point to be like, you know, um, I mean he's back and he's gonna kill more minorities and and search and s without you know, without a warrant. He's gonna do all these things that your dad loved the fact that he did.
[21:27] Alan Seales: Yeah. No, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I don't have no idea what's going on in his head. But let's see what the critics said when this came out.
[21:34] Jesse McAnally: Uh, speaking of the devil, it's Roger Ebert, who said in the July 13th, 1988 review. The balancing act in a good Dirty Harry movie is between the familiar notes, which remain the same every time, and the new angles in every case. The Dead Pool, which is as good as the original Dirty Harry, has lots of new angles and a lot of things to say, especially about horror films, television news, and the burden of being a celebrity.
[21:58] Alan Seales: That is a good point, Roger Ebert, and we didn't bring that up. The fact is, um, Liam Neeson's character is a horror film director, and they show clips of his work, and sincerely, my hand to God, I wish I were watching those films rather than the film I had on.
[22:14] Jesse McAnally: He's working on a movie called Hotel Satan during the production of the during The Dead Pool, and I'm like, I just want to watch Hotel Satan. Like, that sounds great.
[22:24] Alan Seales: Yes, Liam Neeson directing Jim Carrey and Hotel Satan with a random Welcome to the Jungle musical number in it looks incredible.
[22:39] Jesse McAnally: I wanna watch you leave! Welcome to the jungle with taking day by day.
[22:45] Alan Seales: If you want to jump on the blame, the property and you'll serious girl.
[23:07] Jesse McAnally: And Liam Neeson's ponytail should have its own spin-off.
[23:10] Alan Seales: Yeah.
[23:11] Jesse McAnally: Um, that'll be the Dead Pool 2, starring Ryan Reynolds. So I bring that up. Rob Liefeld, who created Deadpool, said that he stole the name from this movie. So if we have anything to curse this movie with, it's the fact that it thought that Ryan Reynolds deserved a career renaissance.
[23:25] Alan Seales: Alright, let's move on to the New York Times. Um, Vincent Canby, who said, at the same time, though the Dirty Harry's movies have been getting smaller. None is smaller than The Dead Pool, which is the tall, lean, scenewee uh actor drags behind him as if it were a toy duck. It quacks slow or fast, depending on the speed at which it's being pulled.
[23:46] Jesse McAnally: I love that. That's a great metaphor to describe Eastwood. Where he's just like this this puppet. I just literally like mine, just a puppet being dragged around.
[23:54] Alan Seales: Hard agree.
[23:55] Jesse McAnally: Then the Washington Post, uh, Destin Howe said, unless you're a Clint fan and own up, who isn't? Not me.
[24:02] Alan Seales: There's a little other reason to sit through this one. Eastwood, who's had far bigger concerns recently, such as directing a movie about jazz great Charlie Parker, seems content to mark time and pick up another check.
[24:14] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, fair enough. I I don't disagree with any of these reviews except for Ebert.
[24:18] Alan Seales: Mm-hmm.
[24:18] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, Ebert really liked The Dead Pool. So did um Siskel, but I couldn't access his review because I didn't have an account for the newspaper he wrote for.
[24:27] Alan Seales: Um, what is that?
[24:28] Jesse McAnally: The Tribune.
[24:29] Alan Seales: Yeah, I didn't have a I didn't have an account, so I couldn't get in.
[24:32] Jesse McAnally: Who did you prefer as a kid, Siskel or Ebert?
[24:35] Alan Seales: I didn't really watch them, so I guess I'd say Ebert by the.
[24:39] Jesse McAnally: Proxy?
[24:40] Alan Seales: No, that's Ebert is the shorter one, the shorter bit.
[24:42] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.
[24:43] Alan Seales: Oh, I like Siskel then.
[24:44] Jesse McAnally: Siskel was a better reviewer, Ebert was a more interesting character.
[24:48] Alan Seales: So I'd rather read a Siskel review, but I'd rather watch Ebert on TV.
[24:51] Jesse McAnally: Yes. I do enjoy watching them random about horror movies like they're the worst thing ever invented.
[24:56] Alan Seales: Like yeah, but they also are the reason why the genre became a thing because without them, Halloween wouldn't have been a success. They were like the biggest proponents of that.
[25:04] Jesse McAnally: Um, and so it is a demon of their own making and bitch more.
[25:08] Alan Seales: Yeah. They created Silent Night, Deadly Night indirectly, and they hated that movie.
[25:12] Jesse McAnally: And that movie's great. I love Silent Night, Deadly Night.
[25:14] Alan Seales: Um, if you want to watch it again, just watch Silent Night, Deadly Night 2. It's half of the movie. And it's great.
[25:20] Jesse McAnally: Um, but you know what else is great?
[25:23] Alan Seales: The real critics over on Letterboxd.com.
[25:26] Jesse McAnally: Liz, what have we got there?
[25:28] Liz Eston: We have a mixed bag.
[25:29] Jesse McAnally: Uh, let's go.
[25:30] Alan Seales: Alright. This is a game of one star, five star, where Liz dug out real Letterboxd reviews, and they are either a five-star or one star, and we have to guess based on the review alone, which it is.
[25:42] Liz Eston: Alan, you why don't you go first? Your name starts with an A. You always let me go first.
[25:46] Alan Seales: Thank you.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Alright. Are you ready, Alan?
[26:35] Alan Seales: I am ready.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Uh, where's Ryan Reynolds? Cryface emoji, cryface emoji, cryface emoji, cryface emoji.
[26:35] Alan Seales: At Blake Lively's house.
[26:35] Liz Eston: I mean I'm gonna go to the limb and say that's one star.
[26:35] Alan Seales: That is correct.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Yeah!
[26:35] Alan Seales: Come on the board.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Whoa!
[26:35] Jesse McAnally: Whoa!
[26:35] Alan Seales: Welcome to the jungle.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Alright, Jesse, you're ready.
[26:35] Jesse McAnally: I am.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Welcome to the jungle is played more times in this than in Jumanji.
[26:35] Jesse McAnally: Welcome to the jungle.
[26:35] Liz Eston: I think people like Welcome to the Jungle as a song, so I'm giving that a five.
[26:35] Jesse McAnally: Yes.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Correct. Also, it does play a lot in this in a film that does not feel like I'm being welcome to the jungle at all.
[26:33] Alan Seales: No, no, not at all.
[26:34] Jesse McAnally: No. No, agreed.
[26:35] Liz Eston: Alright. Are you ready? I'm gonna make you bleed.
[26:38] Jesse McAnally: Yay, Liam Neeson?
[26:40] Alan Seales: Shitmark.
[26:43] Liz Eston: Well, the shrug that you gave me on camera here makes me think it's a five star.
[26:47] Jesse McAnally: Yes.
[26:47] Liz Eston: Woohoo! Gotta beat him.
[26:50] Alan Seales: I can't lose.
[26:53] Jesse McAnally: Come at me, Mackinally.
[26:55] Alan Seales: Come at me. I feel lucky.
[26:57] Jesse McAnally: My parents are fighting again.
[26:59] Alan Seales: God damn it.
[27:01] Jesse McAnally: You have two dads.
[27:01] Jesse McAnally: My two dads are fighting again.
[27:03] Alan Seales: We love you.
[27:05] Alan Seales: That's a plot of Full House.
[27:07] Jesse McAnally: Yes.
[27:09] Alan Seales: Which one's in the washed up band? And which one's an ex-Dirty?
[27:11] Jesse McAnally: It's us and John Stamos.
[27:14] Alan Seales: Like we still keep John Stamos.
[27:17] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.
[27:17] Alan Seales: So one of us is Bob, one of us is Dave, and the other is the biggest.
[27:20] Jesse McAnally: You're Bob Saget because you're taller than me, I think.
[27:22] Alan Seales: Um, and I guess that makes me Dave Coulier.
[27:24] Jesse McAnally: That I'm okay. I'll take it.
[27:26] Alan Seales: I'll take it.
[27:26] Jesse McAnally: Alright. Ready, Jess?
[27:28] Jesse McAnally: I'm ready.
[27:29] Alan Seales: Liam Neeson.
[27:31] Jesse McAnally: Shit.
[27:32] Alan Seales: Liam Neeson's ponytail needs to be memed.
[27:39] Liz Eston: One.
[27:40] Alan Seales: Correct.
[27:41] Liz Eston: Two to two.
[27:42] Alan Seales: Two to two.
[27:44] Jesse McAnally: Bring it.
[27:45] Alan Seales: Alright, Alan. This is a tough one. Are you ready?
[27:51] Jesse McAnally: Answering questions about pissing myself and doing reviews.
[27:55] Alan Seales: Okay.
[27:56] Liz Eston: DVD.
[27:58] Alan Seales: WTF?
[27:59] Liz Eston: That's it.
[28:00] Alan Seales: WTF.
[28:01] Liz Eston: Is there any punctuation?
[28:03] Alan Seales: Nope, just DVD alcapolis.
[28:05] Liz Eston: Um, what is the origin of the word? Use it in a sentence.
[28:08] Alan Seales: I bought a DVD of The Dead Pool, and then I didn't like it.
[28:13] Alan Seales: Okay.
[28:13] Jesse McAnally: Wait, that sounds like it's giving away a rating.
[28:15] Alan Seales: That's it.
[28:16] Jesse McAnally: One star, one star, one star.
[28:19] Alan Seales: You ghost lighted him successfully.
[28:23] Jesse McAnally: Not cool.
[28:25] Alan Seales: Sorry, Alan.
[28:26] Jesse McAnally: That was brilliant.
[28:28] Alan Seales: You tricked me.
[28:29] Jesse McAnally: Alright, Jess, I'll give you a tricky one too.
[28:31] Alan Seales: Alright, I'm ready to be tricked.
[28:32] Jesse McAnally: Or actually nothing I can.
[28:34] Alan Seales: We'll find out.
[28:35] Jesse McAnally: What a beautiful man.
[28:38] Alan Seales: I don't know what man he's referring to.
[28:42] Jesse McAnally: I think they're thinking of Clint Eastwood.
[28:44] Alan Seales: Oh god me.
[28:44] Jesse McAnally: Or it could be Liam Neeson.
[28:46] Alan Seales: I don't know.
[28:46] Jesse McAnally: There's a lot of men in this movie.
[28:48] Alan Seales: I also can't hear the name Liam Neeson without thinking of Key and Peel.
[28:52] Jesse McAnally: What about Dark Man?
[28:52] Alan Seales: No.
[28:53] Jesse McAnally: No.
[28:53] Alan Seales: Huh?
[28:54] Jesse McAnally: What about Liam Mises?
[28:55] Alan Seales: Is some Dark Man No?
[28:57] Jesse McAnally: What about Dark Man?
[28:58] Alan Seales: Liam Nissan's face was changing.
[29:01] Jesse McAnally: Homie was straight face changing.
[29:04] Alan Seales: Now that's just Liam Nisus acting right now.
[29:06] Jesse McAnally: Straight up kids you not Academy Award caliber classic Mises.
[29:10] Alan Seales: Oh seriously, I mean like Mises already need to have a statue.
[29:14] Jesse McAnally: Okay, I'm convinced it's a five now because of the Liam Nesis.
[29:17] Alan Seales: That's current.
[29:18] Jesse McAnally: No!
[29:19] Alan Seales: I'm in the red.
[29:20] Jesse McAnally: Don't worry, Alan.
[29:21] Alan Seales: You can catch up.
[29:22] Jesse McAnally: There's a little more to go.
[29:27] Alan Seales: I'm on a list.
[29:28] Jesse McAnally: You know, the killer that is so obsessed with a film director that he's decided that he's gonna kill and blame it on that film director.
[29:35] Alan Seales: I guess that's the plot of this movie, guys.
[29:37] Jesse McAnally: That's what we're here for.
[29:38] Alan Seales: Oh yeah.
[29:39] Jesse McAnally: I guess.
[29:40] Alan Seales: Yeah, we might have not mentioned the terrible representation of schizophrenia.
[29:43] Jesse McAnally: Oh, yeah, that too.
[29:47] Alan Seales: This film is an accurate representation of mental illness and as well as the right response to um pull of police to those with mental disabilities.
[29:56] Jesse McAnally: I have nothing to do with these checks.
[29:58] Alan Seales: That's all I have to say now.
[30:00] Jesse McAnally: Some that's irony.
[30:40] Alan Seales: That's that that's sarcasm, kids.
[30:42] Jesse McAnally: Uh look it up in the dictionary or ask your parents.
[30:44] Alan Seales: Okay.
[30:45] Jesse McAnally: Maybe I will.
[30:47] Alan Seales: Alright, Alan, are you ready?
[30:49] Jesse McAnally: I'm ready to tie it up.
[30:51] Alan Seales: Okay.
[30:51] Jesse McAnally: No, I definitely did not just watch the sweet for the guns and roses cameo.
[30:56] Alan Seales: What on earth are you talking about?
[30:57] Jesse McAnally: Five star.
[30:58] Alan Seales: That's a one star.
[31:00] Jesse McAnally: Kiss my ass, sealed.
[31:02] Alan Seales: That's it.
[31:03] Jesse McAnally: I sealed my fate.
[31:04] Alan Seales: Sealed my fate on that one.
[31:05] Jesse McAnally: No, there's still more.
[31:06] Alan Seales: There's still seal this fate.
[31:08] Jesse McAnally: Seals?
[31:09] Alan Seales: My fate.
[31:09] Jesse McAnally: You do not get the seals of approval, Macinally.
[31:12] Alan Seales: Do I get one, Alan?
[31:14] Alan Seales: Yes.
[31:14] Jesse McAnally: You always get my seals of approval.
[31:16] Alan Seales: Well, there we go.
[31:17] Jesse McAnally: Alright, Jesse, you ready?
[31:18] Alan Seales: I'm ready.
[31:19] Jesse McAnally: This is a comedy film.
[31:23] Alan Seales: It is, though.
[31:24] Jesse McAnally: It is objectively hilarious when the killer is obsessed with a film director.
[31:29] Alan Seales: I can see people hate watching this, sincerely.
[31:31] Jesse McAnally: I'm gonna call this a five.
[31:33] Alan Seales: Yes.
[31:33] Jesse McAnally: Damn it.
[31:34] Alan Seales: Two in the can two in the hole.
[31:36] Jesse McAnally: Two in the hole.
[31:37] Alan Seales: Like, I mean, it's like my favorite Jim Carrey comedy so far.
[31:41] Jesse McAnally: Out of I mean, I'll be able to do that.
[31:42] Alan Seales: Out of context, if you if you snip out his little scenes, it's actually he's pretty good.
[31:48] Jesse McAnally: He's really good.
[31:48] Alan Seales: Yeah.
[31:49] Jesse McAnally: He does this five second summary in his AFI speech where he's like, I can handle it, man.
[31:54] Alan Seales: He slams on the ground.
[31:55] Jesse McAnally: It's great.
[31:55] Alan Seales: It's an accurate representation of him in this movie.
[31:57] Jesse McAnally: That was great.
[31:58] Alan Seales: Then with Quinn's help, we uh we honed the final performance down to this little piece that I'd like to perform for you now.
[32:06] Jesse McAnally: Hey man, I can handle it.
[32:13] Alan Seales: Okay.
[32:13] Jesse McAnally: Who just it was just out.
[32:15] Alan Seales: It was just Jess, right?
[32:16] Jesse McAnally: I I think I just answered.
[32:17] Alan Seales: Yeah, you did.
[32:18] Jesse McAnally: My brain fried a bit.
[32:20] Alan Seales: Uh it's okay.
[32:20] Jesse McAnally: Um, in case you haven't noticed, we've been doing this for a year nonstop.
[32:24] Alan Seales: Um you're just listening to it now.
[32:26] Jesse McAnally: Totally.
[32:26] Alan Seales: Totally.
[32:27] Jesse McAnally: Totally.
[32:28] Alan Seales: We're way ahead of the game.
[32:29] Jesse McAnally: Are you ready?
[32:30] Alan Seales: Ellen.
[32:30] Jesse McAnally: I put on the wrong movie.
[32:34] Alan Seales: They wanted Deadpool 2 starring Ryan Reynolds.
[32:39] Jesse McAnally: One star.
[32:40] Alan Seales: That's correct.
[32:41] Jesse McAnally: Alright, alright.
[32:42] Alan Seales: I've I've narrowed the gap.
[32:44] Jesse McAnally: All right.
[32:44] Alan Seales: Jesse ready?
[32:45] Jesse McAnally: I'm ready.
[32:45] Alan Seales: Now I can never unsee James Carey ace ventura in when I hear welcome to the jungle.
[32:53] Jesse McAnally: I mainly did that one for the ace adventuring verb, which I love the fact that they referred to his name that he chose to be credited in in the end credits and not like the nomenclature of Jim Carrey.
[33:04] Alan Seales: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[33:05] Jesse McAnally: I forgot to mention that.
[33:06] Alan Seales: In the credits, he is James Carey.
[33:09] Jesse McAnally: Which he is in living color as well, as Jess pointed out.
[33:12] Alan Seales: For the first two seasons, he is James Carey.
[33:15] Jesse McAnally: He's trying to be a real actor.
[33:17] Alan Seales: You can't call him Jim no more.
[33:18] Jesse McAnally: Alright.
[33:19] Alan Seales: Alright.
[33:19] Jesse McAnally: He's taking it seriously.
[33:20] Alan Seales: Taking taking the craft.
[33:21] Jesse McAnally: Alright, give us a man.
[33:22] Alan Seales: He's taking it down to San Francisco, working with Clay Eastwood, doing his best.
[33:26] Jesse McAnally: One star.
[33:26] Alan Seales: Give us your wrong.
[33:27] Jesse McAnally: Yes.
[33:28] Alan Seales: Oh, damn it.
[33:28] Jesse McAnally: Alright, there's two left.
[33:29] Alan Seales: So all right, so Jess, you gotta miss both of these.
[33:31] Jesse McAnally: Got it?
[33:32] Alan Seales: Jess has just yours, Alan.
[33:34] Jesse McAnally: One of them's yours, Alan.
[33:35] Alan Seales: I think I've pretty much got this.
[33:37] Jesse McAnally: I thought you've had two rounds.
[33:38] Alan Seales: Okay, there's no way I can win.
[33:40] Jesse McAnally: No, there's two reviews left.
[33:41] Alan Seales: Yeah, okay.
[33:41] Jesse McAnally: One round.
[33:42] Alan Seales: You know what, Liz?
[33:43] Jesse McAnally: I'm gonna bequeath these to Alan.
[33:45] Alan Seales: No.
[33:45] Jesse McAnally: Nope, nope, nope.
[33:46] Alan Seales: I'm we're I'm going out.
[33:47] Jesse McAnally: I'm going out.
[33:47] Alan Seales: Guns blazing.
[33:48] Jesse McAnally: Dirty hair style.
[33:50] Alan Seales: Alright, I'm gonna do the first one, Alan.
[33:52] Jesse McAnally: If Jess rejects the next one, I'm gonna give it back right back to you, Al.
[33:55] Alan Seales: Okay.
[33:55] Jesse McAnally: So we can maybe tie?
[33:57] Alan Seales: Okay.
[33:57] Jesse McAnally: Maybe.
[33:58] Alan Seales: Okay.
[33:59] Jesse McAnally: I was only here for guns and roses, not gonna lie.
[34:03] Alan Seales: One star.
[34:03] Jesse McAnally: One star.
[34:04] Alan Seales: That was a five.
[34:05] Jesse McAnally: No!
[34:06] Alan Seales: Well, there's no way he can win ever, so let's just do this.
[34:10] Jesse McAnally: Give it to me, Liz.
[34:12] Alan Seales: This movie is outrageous.
[34:14] Jesse McAnally: One star.
[34:15] Alan Seales: That's a five star.
[34:16] Jesse McAnally: That's a five.
[34:16] Alan Seales: I would have given that a five.
[34:18] Jesse McAnally: Oh, but I'm still the winner.
[34:22] Alan Seales: Yes, one.
[34:23] Jesse McAnally: One by two on that one.
[34:25] Alan Seales: But Alan, you're still winning on an overall basis.
[34:28] Jesse McAnally: What is that?
[34:29] Alan Seales: Six to four?
[34:30] Jesse McAnally: Wait, how many have we recorded?
[34:31] Alan Seales: Actually, uh, I miscounted initially.
[34:33] Jesse McAnally: Five to four currently.
[34:36] Alan Seales: Oh, I'm neck and neck.
[34:37] Jesse McAnally: I'm coming up.
[34:38] Alan Seales: I want the world to know.
[34:40] Jesse McAnally: I mean, Alex Braven's.
[34:41] Alan Seales: I still need to double check if he won, so we'll see.
[34:44] Jesse McAnally: I think he lost, and I remember feeling really bad that he lost.
[34:47] Alan Seales: But Alex Brightman always wins.
[34:49] Jesse McAnally: Like let's just give him an honorary win.
[34:51] Alan Seales: Alright.
[34:52] Jesse McAnally: I think we are now just vamping because there's not much to say about the Deadpool aside from the fact it's a fucking really weird movie.
[35:00] Alan Seales: And you know the worst part?
[35:01] Jesse McAnally: This isn't even our last Clint Eastwood movie we have to watch for the show.
[35:04] Alan Seales: No, it is Nort.
[35:06] Jesse McAnally: It's Norton.
[35:06] Alan Seales: No.
[35:07] Jesse McAnally: We have one more where apparently Jim Carrey has an even smaller role.
[35:13] Alan Seales: Why does Clint Eastwood keep doing him so wrong?
[35:16] Jesse McAnally: Yeah.
[35:16] Alan Seales: Why don't we have to keep watching Clint East?
[35:20] Jesse McAnally: Jim Carrey's a nobody.
[35:22] Alan Seales: No one's watching Copper Mountain.
[35:23] Jesse McAnally: No one cares about club med antics.
[35:26] Alan Seales: I mean, I love Alan Thick.
[35:27] Jesse McAnally: I'm all about some Copper Mountain.
[35:28] Alan Seales: Okay, um, let's rev rewind.
[35:30] Jesse McAnally: Um, what would you give it?
[35:31] Alan Seales: A no spank you?
[35:32] Jesse McAnally: Oh, thank you.
[35:35] Alan Seales: Yeah.
[35:36] Jesse McAnally: And I'll play that right next to I love Copper Mountain.
[35:39] Alan Seales: I love that shit.
[35:40] Jesse McAnally: I gotta hate editing.
[35:42] Alan Seales: Alan Thick uh uh fat joke's really great.
[35:48] Jesse McAnally: I honestly forgot what happened in Copper Mountain.
[35:51] Alan Seales: Nothing happened in Copper Mountain A bunch of musical numbers.
[35:54] Jesse McAnally: Nothing.
[35:55] Alan Seales: Yeah, so that was just a bunch of songs.
[35:57] Jesse McAnally: It's a bunch, it was a promotion for that artist.
[36:01] Alan Seales: Our overall thoughts on the Deadpool and our opinion of whether it is uh no spank you or an alrighty then.
[36:09] Jesse McAnally: I almost went to the other show.
[36:10] Alan Seales: I think I've done that a couple times.
[36:12] Jesse McAnally: I would give this uh sorry, wrong show a monster with Swiss.
[36:18] Alan Seales: Watch this show take off much more than musicals with cheese, and they're like, what did they keep referencing?
[36:26] Jesse McAnally: That's that's my dream.
[36:28] Alan Seales: I want to just trounce both of our other podcasts with this.
[36:31] Jesse McAnally: And then we we have to deal with each other forever.
[36:33] Alan Seales: Like we'll have to like next they're gonna call us out and be like, you gotta do the Clint Eastwood breakdown now.
[36:40] Jesse McAnally: And be like, shit, we'll be here for days.
[36:42] Alan Seales: And then you and I would had a big falling out, but we still have to.
[36:46] Jesse McAnally: It would be like the McElroy brothers.
[36:47] Alan Seales: We can tell there's a lot of resentment between them, but they still do that fucking show every week.
[36:54] Jesse McAnally: Alright, let's see.
[36:54] Alan Seales: Alright.
[36:55] Jesse McAnally: Alrighty then, or no spank you.
[36:56] Alan Seales: You go first.
[36:57] Jesse McAnally: It's a hard no spank you for me.
[36:59] Alan Seales: Um spank you.
[37:01] Jesse McAnally: Like, I I feel like last week I gave a pretty good review of Pace Who Got Married.
[37:08] Alan Seales: Um, haven't watched the film yet.
[37:09] Jesse McAnally: Um we record these out of order, so I gotta say, this is compared to that, this is like a big slap to the face, like a really unpleasant experience.
[37:18] Alan Seales: Like, and I can't I wish there was like redeeming elements were outside of Jim Carrey.
[37:23] Jesse McAnally: Jim Carrey is fine in this movie.
[37:24] Alan Seales: If I was just raiding Jim Carrey, the Jim Carrey of it all, I think he Jim Carried his scenes pretty.
[37:33] Jesse McAnally: Um, but outside of that, the mystery is not engaging.
[37:37] Alan Seales: There is no red herrings, really.
[37:40] Jesse McAnally: It's like, is it this guy?
[37:41] Alan Seales: No.
[37:42] Jesse McAnally: Oh, it's this guy.
[37:43] Alan Seales: The movie's over.
[37:43] Jesse McAnally: No following action, no resolution of any subplotch.
[37:46] Alan Seales: It just stops.
[37:47] Jesse McAnally: It just ends.
[37:49] Alan Seales: And as an end to a quote unquote franchise, it is really embarrassing and truly, truly a piss poor representation.
[37:57] Jesse McAnally: Um, yeah, hard no spank you for me.
[38:02] Alan Seales: This is really tough.
[38:03] Jesse McAnally: I wanna like it.
[38:04] Alan Seales: I really do.
[38:05] Jesse McAnally: Don't let me influence you.
[38:07] Alan Seales: You were fairly positive about this.
[38:08] Jesse McAnally: I know, I know, I know.
[38:09] Alan Seales: I was gonna I was gonna give it.
[38:11] Jesse McAnally: I mean, I'm allowed to change my mind because we had an engaging intellectual, well respected conversation.
[38:19] Alan Seales: Uh yeah, we only insulted each other three times, and that's good for us.
[38:22] Jesse McAnally: But you also beat me again, so again.
[38:25] Alan Seales: Alan, you've won most of the games.
[38:28] Jesse McAnally: This is your first loss in a while.
[38:30] Alan Seales: In a while, but you just said it's five to four, so he's only behind me by one.
[38:34] Jesse McAnally: Most of the most of the out just his wins are ties.
[38:37] Alan Seales: Oh, oh, oh, there okay, okay, okay.
[38:39] Jesse McAnally: Well, then I'm gonna give him a little bit of credit.
[38:42] Alan Seales: I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna go with a mild no spank you on this one.
[38:45] Jesse McAnally: Um, Liz, I think I know yours, but what is it?
[38:48] Liz Eston: Very hard no spank you.
[38:49] Jesse McAnally: I hate this.
[38:50] Liz Eston: I don't I don't like I don't like this movie.
[38:52] Jesse McAnally: It's boring.
[38:53] Liz Eston: There's a random prison scene in the middle, and I don't know why it happened.
[38:57] Jesse McAnally: Um it has a very poor representation of schizophrenia, which I c I'm not gonna go off on that right now because I don't have six hours, but you know, maybe the extended version of this, but it's it's I don't want to.
[39:08] Alan Seales: We want more of this?
[39:10] Jesse McAnally: More Deadpool content.
[39:11] Liz Eston: Uh Deadpool 3 with Jim Carrey.
[39:15] Jesse McAnally: And Hugh Jackman.
[39:17] Liz Eston: Huge Ackman.
[39:18] Jesse McAnally: Huge Ackman and Jim Carrey's character in the Deadpool, who's somehow alive.
[39:18] Liz Eston: The Deadpool.
[39:25] Jesse McAnally: But yeah.
[39:25] Liz Eston: Imagine if they sang together.
[39:27] Jesse McAnally: I mean, I'd watch that.
[39:29] Liz Eston: Yeah.
[39:30] Jesse McAnally: Well, come tell the jungle.
[39:32] Liz Eston: We got fun and games.
[39:34] Jesse McAnally: We got everything you want him if it's strange.
[39:37] Liz Eston: Then Blake Lightly just comes in and slaps them both.
[39:39] Jesse McAnally: Just shut up.
[39:40] Liz Eston: There's a tap dancing break in the middle.
[39:42] Jesse McAnally: There you go.
[39:43] Liz Eston: There you go.
[39:44] Jesse McAnally: I'd be down for that.
[39:45] Liz Eston: Solid solid pitch.
[39:46] Jesse McAnally: Yeah, I don't like this.
[39:47] Liz Eston: I don't like this.
[39:48] Jesse McAnally: Low.
[39:49] Liz Eston: Very hard for it, thank you.
[39:50] Jesse McAnally: I'll pass.
[39:51] Liz Eston: Sorry, but don't forget that Hugh Jackman needs to intentionally break so that the audience will laugh because they aren't laughing already.
[39:56] Jesse McAnally: Um either way, let's continue.
[39:58] Alan Seales: Does it hurt every time?
[40:03] Jesse McAnally: It hurts every time when we have to pretend to laugh, me and Sutton on stage.
[40:08] Alan Seales: We know what we're doing as Panderous.
[40:10] Jesse McAnally: We don't care.
[40:11] Alan Seales: It brings all the boys to the yard.
