What are you talking about? (laughs) It's always hidden. It's always hidden. I can always expect you to be immature-ish. Oh, that's right. Yes, immature. Is that even a word? Bosser or whatever. Looser with two S? Right, right. We are missing. We have a deserter in our little battalion right now. There is no Chelsea Nicole today. The woman has abandoned her battalion. How do you feel about that? I think we need a search and rescue. Yeah, search and rescue. There you go. Florida is crazy. What we are going to talk about in the Army now today on Fear and Living in Cinema podcast. It's from 1994. And we are going to jump into that good stuff. You know how this podcast goes? We take a movie that people didn't really like. We watch it and we say why it's amazing or not. It's going to be fun. First up, first up. News, news, news, news today. I don't know if there's been any, it's been like slow news days for the last 24 hours. I mean, it's nothing much has happened, right? No, it's been slow. It's been slow, slow news day. So here we go. We're going to start out with some really happy news, really happy news. Basically, this news is for pressing that will get his, his cockles up and fired up and moist and ready. It looks like the Berlin Film Festival is going to open up Richard Linklatter's new film Blue Moon, which I don't think is about the beer company. But are you excited about this? Does this look like a boring Linklatter movie? Or does this look like a badass like days and confused or the School of Rock type of movie? I am always down, as you know, for any new Richard Linklater joint. It has got Ethan Hock in it. I'll leave. You're best friend. Yeah. And Margaret Qualley and Andrew Scott. So the story is it tells the story of Lorentz's heart struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of Oklahoma. What? What is going on? I mean, I am a fan of Richard Linklater. Richard Linklater. But I would say some of his movies are way more rewatchable than others. Yeah. Would you agree? I mean, yeah. There's, there's ones like, what was it like food ink or something? Yeah. I can't remember the name of it. Um, which should tell you right then and there that I, that I'm not so, so in love with all this stuff. But, um, yeah. Last flag flying. I don't think I'm watching that anytime soon. But, um, Apollo 10 and a half. I love that movie and I will rewatch it all the time. You like the before trilogy? Yeah. That's one of, that's probably my favorite trilogy of all time. Oh, not, not, oh shit. That's crazy. Uh, Dan Moran. Do you know who Richard Linklater is? Never heard of him. Does he direct feature films? Yeah. I mean, I'm excited for any time he does something. Um, so I'm not, I'm not complaining about him having a new movie coming out. It sounds kind of weird when you just read out what it's about. But the cast is so damn good that, uh, I'm sure it's going to. I'm sure it's going to add a minimum for me be B minus between a B minus B plus is usually my worst case scenario for most Linklater movies, which is quite a compliment to my sensibility and how I enjoy his movie. So I, I have no issues with it at all. Consciously optimistic. I wonder what his obsession, it seems like it's like a quiet one with the theta. Cause he did like me and Orson Wells. And he has the, uh, merrily, we roll along. He's taken 20 years to film it, which it won't be out until by the time Brian's dead. So I don't know. Yeah. Cause this is about the opening night of the first time Oklahoma, right? Yeah. So, I mean, I don't know any of the history about that. Maybe there's something really interesting about it that he's. Tapping into and in six months from now, I'm going to be like, wow, I didn't know this happened. The night that Oklahoma came out and I'm going to want to read a book about it or be more interested. But right now I'm like, okay, sure, this cast is incredible. And I'm sure it's going to be a good movie. Is it going to be like Saturday night? Like this hustle and bustle and then it's like Oklahoma. Boom. Directed by Richard Linklater. I mean, that could be. That could very well. I want more from, from, from that. He likes to do that though. It's like the, the last day of school, the first day of college, his time is very much a theme across all his work and he likes to play with it. Yeah. That's true. It's interesting. Do you think this is an offbeat movie for him or is this right in his wheelhouse? Well, that's why I was saying like he, because he has those other two movies that are tied to theater. It doesn't seem completely offbeat, but I, not until I see some footage where I'm like, okay, that I think the most offbeat movie that he's done is where did you go burn a debt? Because in watching that, I was like, this is like a Netflix, like it's got that shine to it. And then I watched it as like this young adult novel. I was very thrown off by him. Clearly he probably took a paycheck on that one. It wasn't a bad movie, but it just didn't feel like his. Yeah, I had great cast, which is why I think he probably joined the movie. Kate Blanchett and everything. So, but yeah, that was a very weird movie. If you had told me that that was, you know, Richard, you said who directed this. I never would have guessed Richard Linklater after watching that movie. Yeah. Is he, is Richard Linklater from Austin? He's born in Houston, lives in Austin, lives in Austin. And Dan, did it snow in Austin today? Yeah, my kids are outside right now. It's not really snow. It's more like icy pellets that resemble snow. And I would say there's about half an inch. So they're out there just wiping stuff off cars and trying to get it to pack together. Did they cancel school out there? Oh, yeah. They canceled it on Sunday afternoon. Oh, oh my goodness. They're supposed to, it's, it's not going to get above 28. And they were guaranteed precipitation. So I'm sure the roads are just a complete shit show. So for safety, they just said, and you know what, no school Tuesday. All right. All right. Well, hopefully you'll get some icy cool tropical island stuff over in Austin. Yeah. I wonder if they will serve blue moon during these screenings, speaking of screenings. They did a very small early screening of the new mission impossible movie with Tom Cruise. And it was said at one of the audience members got got so intense and so suspenseful that they thought they were having heart palpitations during the movie. And what, I mean, is this just a giant pussy or is just this just marketing ploy? Tom Cruise is like, I need somebody who has not seen a movie and an action moving a long time. That's this worked. It worked once for me. And it was a shoe. What movie was it where the people like threw up 127 hours? Yeah, there was that. Yeah, they did they had somebody had a seat actually somebody had a seizure during my screening of 127 hours because it got too intense for them. Yeah. So, I mean, like there's legitimate things where obviously Fox Searchlight wasn't running the social media is back in what was that 2010 to get this going. But now this is just a stupid marketing ploy, in my opinion, unless they're literally finding men with heart issues or women with heart issues who are over the age of 60 and sitting them down in a debock seat. And like, you're going to watch this. Like, you go to the old folks home or like, Hey, you don't want to meet Tom Cruise, watch a movie in D box. What's the box? Old man says and like, it's something awesome. And then just whipped around. I don't know. What do you like? Tom Cruise been in jackass. He is. He is. He legitimately is. It's just nothing ever goes wrong because he plans it so well, but he is literally just living his best life. Because he could be, Hey, I'm Tom Cruise. I'm going to hang upside down off of a biplane. Hey, I'm Tom Cruise. I'm going to ride a dirt bike with a parachute off of a cliff. It's just he has better safety people. Is this mission impossible supposed to be the last one? Yeah, they say it is, but I can't imagine if it does well financially that it'll be the last one. And do you think that they pulled out all the stops and it will really be that suspenseful? Or do you think it's just it'll be just like the rest of them? It'll be a mission impossible movie. It'll be awesome. And it'll have suspense and it'll be thrilling. It'll be fun. But at no point am I going to be like sweating. It's just going to be awesome. I like the behind the scenes stuff. The behind the scene stuff makes me sweat more than the actual movie because the movie is still a movie. But like when he did that motorcycle jump and they put out that 15 minute YouTube short of how they like prepped it and watching the director and all of the stunt people the first time that he went off like hoping it would land right that the drones were in the right spot that the helicopter was in the right spot. That stuff's more stressful to me than watching the movie. I know he didn't die on. He couldn't be completed and put in front of me. Okay, because I think I've said this before, but that particular scene. I agree. Watching that whole bit was more intense than the final movie because in the final movie I was like, man, they worked so hard to try to make it look real, but yet it looks fake. There's something too glossy about it. Yeah, yeah, that is my least favorite. The last one was my least favorite mission impossible. And so, I don't, I don't know if this next one's going to be as I'm sure it's going to have some great action sequences because they still had like the whole car sequence that they they had a really at well was great. And, and oddly enough, the villain in the mission these, I guess last two mission impossible movies is in in the army now. Yes, he is. Who's also the villain as AI. Oh, it's so dumb. The entity has been around forever. Oh my goodness. So yeah, that that happened. So I'm sure we will all see mission impossible when it comes out, but when they start doing more screens. If the marketing geniuses are going to run with this at every screening somebody's going to pass out because it's so suspenseful. All right, I think it's going to switch very quickly into a behind the scenes video of one of the middle stunts followed by Tom Cruise going and every single show to talk about the legacy of mission impossible pretty quickly. They already have a secret weapon. They need to pretend people are dying in their movie. They just can have Tom Cruise go around and say stuff and people want to watch it. Yeah, I agree. I agree. All right. Up next another piece of news. A 24 has a new movie, a new horror movie called Opus, not Mr. Holland's Opus, but just Opus. Tom, if you all watch this, do you know who's in it? I know who's in it, but I did watch the trailer this morning and it looks okay. It just seems like there's the more naturally great and on team and terrifying a 24 films and then there's those ones where it's like deliberately trying to be fucking weird that it's, and I'm just kind of getting that vibe from this. I like the cast. I think the cast is great. And so I hope I'm wrong and I hope it's good. I have not seen the trailer yet. I know who's in it, so I'm excited, cautiously excited. I'm more of a woman in the yard type guy. Okay. Why? Why are you the woman in the yard type of guy? I just love the trailer. I just love the title. When the title card comes up and it's just so on the nose, the woman in the yard. It just made me the yard. I feel like they need to make like sequels to this movie. It should be like the woman in the kitchen, the woman in the laundry room, the woman in the yard. I love it. I feel I hope SNL makes fun of that movie with like the woman in the kitchen or something like that. It could be fun. Yeah, I mean, I think the, I always mess up her name. Is it A.O? Yeah, I always mess up her last name. So I'm not going to try. She is great in the bear. And she's hilarious on Letterbox and she was great in Bottoms. Like, I've enjoyed everything she's done. And then John Malkovich, it just depends on which John Malkovich you're getting. And he's pretty great. All most of the time. That's what I mean. Yeah. Yeah. He's super weird. So I hope it's good. I'll watch the trailer later today. Okay. All right. Dan, you sent an image of your Lord and Savior Kevin Costner to the group. Can you describe and expand on this image that you sent? I just was, you know, scrolling my "For You" feed. And naturally, I think the one of the behind the scenes people, it's going kind of viral, at least in movie things, took a behind the scenes image of him riding a horse with like a cloud behind him. And it's better looking than any single scene that happens in the whole fucking movie. It looks like an old American painting you'd see in a doctor's office. It's awesome. And it just made me laugh. And I was like, where was the cinematographer should have just tried to mimic that image the entire movie? No, I'm always curious on stuff about that. Like, oh, these behind the scenes shots and who was taking these pictures that look amazing. And then you see the movie are like, wow, nothing that beautiful was in there. A little too glossy for me. A little too glossy? You wanted old school? I like an old school western. What can I say? You like an old school western? Okay. All right. All right. Is there any other new? Oh, we had some news yesterday, lots of stuff. I'm going to ask, since it was the inauguration yesterday, do you think the state of movies and Hollywood is going to change these next four years? No. No. It might look even more glossy. Yeah. Do you think they will release the apprentice everywhere? The movie The Apprentice was Sebastian's name. It'll be streaming, for sure. Yeah. Someone will pick it up as a streamer. It probably won't be Amazon. Or Apple. But someone's going to someone's going to pick it up and stream it because I think there will be a curiosity around there. But I don't think all the, all the arguments about changing Hollywood because he, because Trump's back in office, like all he wants is to be liked by famous rich people. So I don't, I think all this garbage about him impacting them, whether it's films financially or other ways, like the only ways he actually can do it with tax breaks and that sort of stuff. He's not going to do it because I guarantee you say whatever you want about that man and we've said plenty. He probably wants to watch Mission Impossible also. You know what I mean? Like he's not like, say all the, yeah, he's, he's not going to sit there and be like, you know what I really want? I want homestead studios from Fox Nation productions to be making all my movies. He wants to see movies too. So I'm not worried about Hollywood. Do you think he wants to see Blue Moon? Probably not. No Sforatu. Yes, yes. Nosferatu. Speaking of Nosferatu, the extended director's cut of Nosferatu is now on streaming. Has everybody planning on watching more vampire dick today? Yeah, the four minutes longer that it is. Yeah, is that all it is? That's all. Well, according to Blu-ray.com, that's what it is. No, then no, I'm not going to. Unless it's, yeah, dropping 30 bucks right now and get it on digital and I just wait until it comes out. I thought it was going to be like a 30 minute. Yeah, that's what I was going to be close to three hours. I thought you were going to say 40 minutes and then I was going to be like, Oh, yeah, I might rent that or buy it digitally. That would be great. But four minutes. Absolutely not. Oh, they might be just getting the cash grab of doing the four minutes and then later on on like a 4K or Blu-ray physical release. They'll do the big bastard edition. Which sure that I'll watch the big bastard edition. I'm not going to watch that short of a four minute one. Yeah, I love when like things are released on Blu-ray or 4K and they're like, it's the extended cut and it's like between like 45 seconds to three minutes longer and you just can't even tell what was added or not. Yeah. So yeah, according to starting a fire, we discussed and it says the theatrical was 132 minutes and this extended cut is 136 minutes. Okay. Well, I guess we will figure that out. We'll watch at some point. I don't want to spend that much money for a four minute longer movie because I just don't think that will add anything to it. So you probably won't even notice to watch it and be like, what was that? Well, it's like most of those movies that come out on Blu-ray again. Was this like you never know? Yeah. I think they just do it because I'd be interested in knowing what his take is on that because it's with Robert Eggers, it's hard not to put him in the same bucket as Ari Aster in terms of like the types of filmmakers that they are and the stories they tell. Because Ari Aster clearly, you know, he got his Midsomar directors cut, but this is the extended cut. And so. Yeah. Seems a little more producer distributor driven. I can't imagine it. I still haven't gone around. Do you want directors cut or you want to call it that or do you want to call it extended cut? It's just, yeah, I don't know. But Universal did that with the fall guy to extend a cut. Would you still haven't gone around to the Ridley Scott Napoleon director's cut? I haven't even watched Napoleon yet. The only Napoleon we're watching is Bill and Ted. Let's get real. Let's get real here. Yeah, these extended cuts. Do you want a director's extended cut of Ari Aster's Bo is afraid? No, that movie is already too long. So good. All right. Let's do some trivia. Tim trivia. I'm going to start with Preston. All right. Question trivia question on fear and Logan and cinema podcast for Preston. What is the first name of Ben Stiller's character and meet the parents? Greg, Greg, but they called Gaylord. Absolutely. Do you want to hear the multiple choices? I actually do. Gilbert, Gaylord, Joffrey or Geronimo. Geronimo. That's it. Gaylord. All right. Dan. The easiest trivia questions in the world. Oh, well, you might, this might stump you. It shouldn't, but it should be easy. As of 2018, who is the most nominated actor in Oscar's history? As of 2018? Yes. Shit. Does that count women too? Is that what they're doing? Yes, it does count women. Is it street still? It absolutely is. Got it. Not an actor. I was like, hmm. Does it say how many times? It doesn't. The multiple choices were Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks. So they don't have how many times because that would have been interesting. Right. The most interesting part. Preston, what if it's just like three? Oh, look. It's like 2021 Academy Awards. Holy shit. That was going to get like, I was going to get like 14. That is crazy. Wow. 14. That's what you thought it was. I think she's like nominated almost every year. I know, but I was just going to guess 14 because that seems to me, that's a lot. Wasn't she nominated or won for that movie? She did where she was like the grandmother, like rock star guitarist. That like nobody. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I'm trying to remember what that movie was called. I remember seeing it here. I'll go through it really fast. The post, Florence Foster Jenkins into the woods. August, so Sage County, Iron Lady, Julie and Julia. Doubt, Devil Wears Prada adaptation. Oh, that one's a good one. Music of the heart. One true thing. So it doesn't look like it, Brian. I know. Bridges of Madison County, postcards from the edge. Cry in the dark. Ironweed out of Africa. Silkwood. Sophie's choice. French Lieutenant's woman. Kramer versus Kramer in the deer hunter. I got to be honest, the first four that you named when you were like the post into the woods. I was like, oh, man. Everybody liked the post. Oh, my God, I was the only one that didn't really enjoy that movie. I liked the post. I know you did. Yeah. I like newspaper dramas. Yeah. I mean, I liked the paper with Michael Keaton. That was a great one. I didn't like the post. I think it's because I thought spotlight was better. And I still had spotlight taste in my mouth. I didn't like spotlight. I didn't like spotlight either. Really? Yeah. It felt too manufactured and disingenuous to me in its presentation of it. I wasn't a huge fan of it. I gave it another shot. His Girl Friday is from my favorite newspaper. Her story driven one. Not the paper with Michael Keaton and Randy Koid. I don't know if I've ever seen that. Oh, if you like newspaper movies, that would probably become your favorite one. That movie is insanely good. I think it's a one Howard film. It's really good. The paper. Yeah. It's excellent. And it's really funny in a crazy ass cast, including Costanza and Marissa Tomei and Robert Duvall. Not to go off on a complete tangent. But so Preston, are you mildly interested in the new office spinoff? That's about a fledgling small town paper in Ohio. That's supposed to come out next fall. It's apparently the same documentary crew goes to a small town struggling newspaper. Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be successful. I mean, I'm too curious. I got to watch it. But like anybody that. What else has come out recently? Oh, like what? By the way, I did. The David Allen Greer is in the army now. He's in a show that's very similar to Parks and Rec right now. Like St. Jude's Medical or something. It's like the highest rated show on TV and that's got like the documentary. Office, Parks and Rec feel. Oh my God. I was. I don't know. We, I think we've had this conversation before, but watching the football games this weekend. We see the commercials for the shows. And you're just like, who watch it? It's like. Commercial was like, it's Chicago Wednesday night. Chicago PD. Chicago fire. And Chicago Med all new season 17 starts. I'm like, whoa, there's 17 seasons of Chicago Med. Holy cow. So yeah. People be watching, but that, but that St. Jude's medical show with David Allen Greer. It's shot just like the office and Parks and Rec and the biggest show on TV right now. So to answer your question about the new office spin off type of thing, I bet you it'll do great. Yeah, I just meant it's because it's all the, it's the creators is mostly. Yeah. But it's going to be filmed the same way in the same style as the office and parks. Yeah. That's what Abbott Elementary is also filmed the way the office and Parks and Rec was. So yeah. And that's hugely popular. Hugely popular. Never seen an episode. That's what there's all this TV that I only discover while I'm watching football games in the commercials. Yeah. With Abbott Elementary, I think they just aired the crossover with Always Sunny. Did you watch that Preston? No, I haven't watched yet. Interesting. Yeah. Actually, that's what we should do one boring time of year. We should all like watch the pilot episode for a random really highly rated CBS show. Like, I just want, like, Brian's review of episode one of the tracker. Friday nights, nine p.m. CBS. That would be fun. That would go well with fear and loathing. Do you like those type of shows, Preston? Because I know, for those of you don't know, Preston takes pride in not watching some of the best stuff on television or movies. Like he's very happy. He's never seen Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or Sopranos or the wire, anything like that. Sopranos in the wire. Yeah. So, but there's quite a few that have not. Do you do you like the office and Parks and Rec? Yeah, that's our go to bed lowest asleep show. Yeah, I've watched both those shows countless times. And so do you do you get excited for more shows like this in this vein? Um, yeah, I don't know if I was wanting a office spin off or sequel type of thing because I wanted something that feel like a different environment. Because that's, I'm curious about that. At the point that I was trying to make earlier was what we do in the shadows. Like, I was. I love the movie so much. And when I first started watching the show, I was like, I'm just like kind of. Pressing my knuckles against it a little bit, but then it ended up being way better than the movie by the end of it. So I will give it a shot. I will try not to judge it off its first few episodes because I'm going to have the war paint on my face a little bit with it. Well, yeah, I am curious. It took like a season to get going for both the office and Parks and Rec because I mean, if you start on season two of the office and season two of Parks and Rec, they're clearly way better. So they are, but they were still it was compelling from the start. Oh, it's yeah. Yeah. So hopefully there's still that same type of great humor that was in Parks and Rec and Office. So here we go. There we go. And I really have to watch St. Jude's medical. So just because it just sounds fun. So, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Let's go to in the army now. Let's go to take a trip with Paulie Shore, Andy Dick, Lori Petty, and David Allen Greer in this movie from 1994 that was released August 12 of 1994. It made $30 million. It was directed by Daniel Petrie Jr. who wrote Beverly Hills, cop one, the big easy shoot to kill Turner and Hooch. And then his directorial debut in 1991 was Toy Soldiers, which is a great movie with Will Wheaton and Sean Aston. And then he did in the army now and Don patrol many, many years later. But this movie in the army now has a 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is at the height of Paulie Shore's popularity. It was just kind of like, what can we put Paulie Shore in? You know, can we do it like a 12 angry men jury duty one? Let's put him in the fucking army. Let's, you know, there was, he was just like the comedy go to. What is your relationship with Paulie Shore, Dan? I would call him, for me, at least where my age hit, I was an Adam Sandler guy. Not that you needed to choose sides, but I was more of a Billy Madison Happy Gilmore type kid than Paulie Shore. But I have seen all of Paulie Shore's movies, and I enjoy them for equal and or different reasons than most of those early Happy Madison movies. So, um, yeah, I think he's, he's an interesting story. I watched that the documentary on him. What was that show? I think it was on Showtime just learning how he, he obviously had some demons and weird family stuff and just the Hollywood spotlight and all that. So I think he's very, very interesting, but for that six year period when he was the top of what you would probably refer to as stupid comedy, he was the king. And I have not seen one that I didn't enjoy even regardless of how juvenile they are. And I just think Billy Madison is kind of like a gateway drug, you know, like the Adam Sandler comparison is there for a reason, but I think Adam Sandler. His goal is to be more, let's see, broadly appealing. Yeah, and I don't think Paulie Shore cares. Like, I think I can turn on Happy Gilmore with my parents. Right, I think they're different funny. Yes, but if I turn on in the army now they're like, this guy is a fucking crazy person. Well, there seems very annoying charm to Adam Sandler where, I mean, even in his more over the top impressions. It doesn't seem like he's trying really hard and you just kind of like, oh, you want to hug him? Paulie Shore doesn't have that appeal. Yeah, and I don't mean to bring up the comparison immediately. I'm just thinking of the age I was when these guys were around. They were at the height of their popularity when I was like eight to twelve. Yeah. And so that's when I was consuming like the initial content of all of them. And I think that I can specifically remember like going with my parents to see like Happy Gilmore in the movie theater. And there was no chance in hell. I saw anything of Paulie Shores until it was a VHS at Blockbuster. Yeah, because they were like, oh, I'm not taking you to see in the army now or son-in-law, which we've done on this pod. They were just like, no, no, this guy's annoying. All right, Preston, what about you? What's your relationship with Paulie Shore? I love Paulie Shore. And he, as I probably mentioned in that son-in-law episode, my household is very big into his work. It's one of the, I think I mentioned this before, Biodome was the movie that I was watching when I first kissed my wife. So we owe him a lot. But yeah, we pretty regularly watch those three films, not as much Encino Man, even though that was the first movie that I saw of his, but I think son-in-law is very much the best out of all of them, but this one's right there behind it. And I only like a few scenes in jury duty. But yeah, I missed the energy that he would bring to his work and following what he has done and I guess not done in his career after all that. It's been kind of sad because I think I mentioned this also went to his stand up about 10 years ago or so. And it was just really sad. Like he, you can feel him just, his routine is very built on nostalgia of his work. And he just seems like he lives this very depressed life. But it seems like just from a social media post that he's kind of picked himself up a little bit. I do hope that he has the best things going on for him right now. But yeah, I love his MTV on the street energy that he brings to his work. His work is insanely quotable, especially this film. And so, yeah, he was a big deal. I don't know if Heat, when I was a kid, did his work surpass Adam Sandler for me. They were just kind of, I don't know, on parallel paths. And I enjoyed them equally, but I would say right now that Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore are far better films if I wanted to get all technical with it. But I do find myself watching his core three films more often than I do watch those two films. Yeah, it's, I mean, making the comparison to Adam Sandler and him, I'm probably sure it seems like Adam Sandler was kind of more like the Taylor Swift mainstream actor. And all he sure is like the punk rock version. You know, like he was the punk rock. If you go to one of his shows back in the 90s, it was more punk rock. And Adam Sandler B-side. Yeah, yes. It really felt that way. And so, I really always enjoyed Paulie Shore. There's just something about him that makes me laugh. And every time I go back to one of his movies, it's, it's just like a breath of fresh air because nobody acts like that. It's really silly and in the army now there's just some really funny moments, but also, Paulie Shore has the knack to really turn on the seriousness in a moment to make you really like him like in son-in-law or in the army now. So I really enjoy that element to him and how there's so many jokes throughout all those movies that kind of continue on, such as the Brendan Frazier anomaly, which is always still good. And all of the films. We have to rewatch Biodome to see if that's still continues. I don't remember if he does pop up because I clocked to last night because I remember him in it. And I was like, he really does do the, like he's in Encino Man across all these different films that he's in. And he, he, he loses to the fact that he's either eaten a frog and then Paulie Shore is like, I know him. Yeah, I know. And he just brushes it off, which is really funny. Um, this movie doesn't surprise you. And it surprises me, but this movie had eight writers on it. I saw that and I was like, God damn dude. Eight writers and you're trying to figure out like, you mean like one or two people couldn't have written the script. And what was the original screenplay and how many rewrites did it go to through to have eight writers on in the army now, because it's not winning any writing awards. It was either that or it's just so funny that everybody wanted to take credit for it. I mean, that could very well be the case. The army now, of course, it basically has Paulie Shore and Andy Dick. They're kind of like a beavis and butthead type of characters who work at a stereo store. And they want to open up their own store. They're just idiots. And they get duped and not duped, but they make a decision to join the army reserves, thinking that they get a paycheck and not have to go if they join the water purification element. And this is kind of like in the last days of Operation Desert Storm, everything in Africa or the Middle East. And of course they, yeah, yeah, good times. And of course they get called immediately to go to war. And they, this group of ragtag idiots, Lori Petty, who just is like wants to go to war, Andy Dick, Paulie Shore in the David Allen Greer, who's a dentist. They are the water purification team and they end up saving the day, but it's kind of, you see like the metal jacket of them going through bootcamp, which is hilarious to me. And I don't know. Okay, so Dan, what do you think about the comedy of this movie? Does it hold up, you know, 20. Oh no, it's 30 years later. Hold up is strong. It's a nostalgia play. I laughed. I don't think if it came out today, it would have any sort of remote success. But of its time and how it hits me as like a child. Still, like, I don't know when he's when he does his stuff. I laugh. And it just transports me back when I was like nine or 10 years old, and I truly enjoy it. It held up for me. And I have no complaints over how stupid or outlandish or even frankly how annoying some of the scenes are, because they just make me laugh. And I just can't, I can't complain about that but I just don't know if you were to show this too. I should try that. I should find a quality show or movie and show it to my son and see what he thinks. I feel like he would love it because you're just a whole guy's just doing like we are crazy. I just feel like that would be happened. What about you Preston? Do you like the cut? Do you think the comedy still holds up? I do. I think the complete opposite of Dan. In watching it, I was like, I feel like there is a lot of timeless comedy in here. I love it, because it's like dumb and dumber. It's like when the guys are just saying stuff that doesn't make any sense. But yeah, like I laugh every damn time when he first gets to boot camp and then sergeant lads there. And he's like, you don't have to yell it. I'm right here. And it's just like moments like that where I was like, that's, that's really damn funny. Of course, there are some moments in here where, you know, he does the whole when he's talking about the ashtray thing. I was like, yeah, that's kind of some dated comedy there, but I still laughed because it's funny. Yeah, that's great. But yeah, I think there's a lot of moments in here that I think it has the charm to it. They're getting to be heroes. But I love that concept of just dumbasses getting to save the day. And so yeah, I think there's quite in kids these days. It's hard to kind of gauge what they're into, but I think they're attracted to eccentricity. And there's hardly any more or hardly anyone that's more eccentric than Pauli Shor back in the 90s. And so I think that I was even asking that question last night when I was watching it. I was like, I know this movie didn't do terribly well when it came out. And yeah, criminally low 12% on Rotten Tomatoes. But I'd like to think that if audiences consume this today, I think it would be probably in the 60s or somewhere on Rotten Tomatoes. I think a lot of people would take to it. Yeah, I think so too. I think that humor here, there's something for everybody. And maybe that's like the eight different writers coming into play because going through it again, watching it again. There's like the slapstick naked gun type of humor in there, such as when, you know, they get out from doing, getting their haircut and Annie Dick comes out with the glasses and Pauli Shor says, you're a number one, there's nobody like you. And then just like eight people with the same glasses that look like I'm out like that's a funny joke. And then you have like the subtle adult humor where you're in Pauli Shor's bedroom. And there's like a coin operated horse machine with like legs sticking out of it. And you're just like, wait, what is this place going on here? And then you have like the, the tender moments. And then the the raunchy humor. And then the really smart humor. I just, I mean, even just like when he's in bootcamp and Sergeant Lad is telling everybody how to dress in their uniform and Pauli Shor just like messes up this shirt and pants. And I mean, it's just so funny. It's like that to me is comedy. I just, I still laughed out loud at those moments and I think it takes play. I mean, it lasts over time in that, right? Yeah, I think so. And, and through all that comedy, like it does make you actually care about those people. Like, Sergeant Lad's not just just an opportunity for him to do more jokes. Like there's even like a tenderness and a care that he has because like when he gets over to the actual place. And Chad, he meets Art Le Fleur where he's first Sergeant. And he's like, well, you're not my first Sergeant. That was Sergeant Lad. She was my first Sergeant. Little, little things like that that just kind of show that there's a little more care. Like this isn't like I just said, like an avenue for them just to say jokes after jokes. Like there, there is some thought put into the character work here. Yeah, there's also like a tenderness to Polly Shore here. Like he's never out to be mean to somebody. Like he's always doing jokes to make you laugh and love you and make you love him, rather than maybe some other comedians or comedy movies that are just being mean funny. And here in all the Polly Shore movies, I don't find that way at all about him, even in the army now, even when he's trying to tell Andy Dick not to start this car that would kill them. And he's like, just listen to me. And Polly Shore's reaction is like that of a great friend. You know, it's just like, are you happy now? I would say he brings that to both this and son-in-law more so than Biodome, because if you go back and watch Biodome, he's a little more of a dick in that one. Like when you have that guy that is all about bugs, and then they put out that paper and you kill all his bugs and make some cry. It's part of a joke. They're being more of that asshole than me. They're being mean. Yeah, but not in the army now, though. There's something good about those characters. And I wonder what was the switch there. What do you think Dan? I was going to say, I think that there is a humanity to all of the outlandish humor that he does, and that as these movies run out because what this was, was this his third one. Yes, and see this one, son-in-law, and then this one. And then this one. And I know Biodome goes back to some really stupid stuff, but I feel like he was kind of finding a way, I don't want to say to show his range in like a Daniel Day Lewis sets, but in a way that these outlandish comedies that he's in can have a little bit more heart in them. So you're actually rooting for the bumbling idiot, as opposed to just constantly being annoyed by him. And I think that that is something that Preston just brought up that I think he hits on way better in this and son-in-law than some of his other movies. Yeah, because there's that scene, and I think we brought it up when we reviewed son-in-law, like the sequence that he has with the kid from the sandlot in it up in his room, they actually have like a good moment. And I was like, damn, he's bringing some more acting chops to this than I was expecting. And there's some moments in here that he has with some of the people in his outfit and that are a little unexpected, and I think it brings a little more weight to the film than just being a joke. I fully agree with that. Yeah, and I think this is, I think this was his best. I don't know, you guys may disagree, but we've now we've done bio dome, we've done son-in-law and now we've done in the army now. And I guess we can rank him later, but I think this is the one that has the most fully formed polyshore to me. The most evolved stage. Yeah, like I feel like this is, he's reached his point here where he can go back and forth between having some sweet true friendship moments and things like that, and also just be a completely crazy person. Well, he's also like, you know, it's also a movie that is bigger spectacle than any other movie. I mean, the explosions and war scene in this movie. Like, I was saying Disney for that, it was impressive. Washing it again, you're like, dude, how much did they spend on all these explosions of the base and the helicopters and the guns and this was crazy. And then you see polyshore and all these movies. He's actually the leader here. He's the, he's the general and he's never really been that in a movie. He's always like the main lead, but he's never had to take control over a group of actors like he does in this. Yeah. And I think, go ahead, Dan. I was just going to say, I was just going to say with the explosions and everything. Yeah, this is, this is an action movie. Like, this is Magruber style. Like, you're like, okay, this is a dumb comedy, but at the same time, there's, there's real, like, stunt people and real explosion people that they put millions and millions of dollars into this movie. And, you know, I love the fact that it's Disney, as Preston just said, because now, probably one shot of Rafiki singing with Timon and Pumba is the entire budget of what in the army now was. Yeah. Yeah. It's so good. And like, I mean, I think people wanted to be part of polyshore because so many other comedians were part of this show. I mean, it was good to see like a comedian, well respected comedian, like Paul Mooney, be in the movie. And yeah, he was like, I mean, that in that whole bit about them not wanting to go to Chad and them, like, pretending they're gay because you can't be gay in the military back then. And Paul Mooney's like, kiss them. And they're, I mean, both Andy Dick and Polyshore sell that moment so well because they both want to get out of it, but they just can't bring themselves to kiss each other. And it's just like the editing of that. Is it hot and Chad and then just immediately their overseas. You could tell that Lori Petty's like holding it back back there while they're doing their whole routine, the whole thing that they planned. Oh, I noticed that even with Sergeant Lad, the black drill sergeant, her trying not to break when Polyshore is talking with her. I noticed that several times in this one she's like trying to keep a straight face. There's some funny about him. And like, I totally forgot how damn funny it is when she's teaching him how to throw the bomb. It's like drop the pin and it gets the order incorrect. So there you go. More times comedy. No, it is. It is timeless comedy. And even like the subtle bits of comedy when like he's constantly in trouble. So he does all these pushups. And then when he gets to the base, you know, they haven't peeled potatoes. Graduating and peeling potatoes. Yeah. And so that moment when he's about to fight, you know, the, the special elite forces guy who was in mission impossible. And that special elite forces guy gets in trouble and has to peel potatoes and Polyshore just eaten his apple and just said, I want to have you know that there's not one unpeeled potato on this island. And it's just so fucking funny, like that's just good. And, I mean, it's funny to see how many people, because what's that guy's name. My goodness. Or elite force guy just wants to mess with the rookies type of thing. And I think it works fine because his character doesn't 180 and becomes like the one that's dependent on them. Yes. Yeah. And he has that whole great bit that my wife and I quote quite a bit where he's like. Mama said that I'm a natural when he's talking about being a ballerina. Because he got it. Well, you got shot. He's losing a lot of blood. Yeah. And they had to get morphine or something. I off his ass. No, I mean, this is a pretty, I mean, it's in the army. Now, I think I was trying to go through, because I know we're older, and we appreciate these movies, but like new generations. Do you think they ever know who Polyshore is or have seen any of these movies from Encino Man to son in law? Like, do you think they? Do you think they would like it? I was going to say, like, I think they, they wouldn't. I've been seeing a little more reaction videos because you'll see that on YouTube where like these young kids will listen to songs for the first time. And they'll be like, there's one video of like them watching the music video for all the small things by Blink 182. And then they're like, why are they dressed like that? No, they're making fun of boy bands from the 90s and things like that. So I think you'll be surprised. TikTok kind of was strengthening that in some more nostalgic dives because of the way that people dress now and the type of entertainment is reflective of what we consumed back in the 90s. So I could see, they just need to have like a Polyshore box set or just something like a marathon thing that just happens on one of these streaming platforms. And I guarantee that it would probably do wonders. So, my wife teaches in middle school. So that's six to eighth grade was at 12 to 14 or 15 somewhere in that range. And then I have a nephew who just turned 11. Him and his buddy discovered through the algorithm or whatever Adam Sandler over the past summer and watched pretty much all of his movies for the most part. And my wife said that the girls, my wife teaches dance had a dress like Adam Sandler day at their middle school where they all wore oversized basketball shorts and like giant oversized t-shirts. And my wife was like, what the hell, like how is this coming from? And apparently it was a TikTok thing over the summer that got everyone into the movies. And then they're all the, all of his movies are on Netflix apparently and just. But I mean think about that it's like 13 year old girls at a different school and then my 11 year old nephew, whatever the algorithm is over the past year has all coalesced to show him. At a hold Adam Sandler movies and at the same time, my daughter and my daughter now who is just turned 11 wants to listen to Backstreet Boys wants to listen to NSYNC. So what Preston said's right it's somehow getting through the zeitgeist I just don't think that Paulie Shore has the right nostalgia marketing team to get it into the get it to the team. I feel like, go ahead. No, I was going to say, but if they did, he would, I'll bet there would be a Paulie Shore thing people will start doing Weasel voices and go viral pretty quick. I feel like people's entry point could be a goofy movie because they'll be kind of be like, who's that leaning tower of she's a guy. And that could probably be the gateway. I mean, yeah, that in a goofy movie was, you know, my childhood and I know Preston you like it and I'm sure Brian loves it. And, but that was never a huge thing at Disney and then when we went two or three years ago. It's kind of co-headlining the Halloween bash parade like this. Yeah, he comes out and does the dance power line and all the kids. I got to be honest with you. I would say more than half the kids that were looking around like, who the hell is this guy and what's this song and like all the parents are like, if we listen to like jamming, that's like a very simple song. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, it's surprisingly is huge and it's 30th anniversary this year so they have a lot of clothes there for power line so much so that they wanted, there was a petition kind of to get rock and roller coaster to be retooled to do. They're trying to get to the power line concert instead of Aerosmith concert. Yeah, that's funny. I like that. That was crazy. No, there's. How do you describe is there anything, what do you like about the, I don't know that not really a, do you think there's a dramatic side to in the army now or like an emotional side and what do you have to say about it. I think there's, there was something that Dan brought up earlier where I was thinking about specific scenes of drama and I think one of them that feels very true is there's some moments where Paulie Shores character kind of takes pause and just realizes it's kind of like he's having a Spiderman moment where he's like, oh, with great power does come with great responsibility. And so there's the moment where he, when they realize that they're lost and their truck is broken down and then this is like, so what do we do? I order us to take a vote. No, you have to say what we're supposed to do and we follow it and you feel like he's really trying to get the gears working in a way that he hasn't really done before because he's kind of coasted on just having fun. And now he feels, he likes the feeling of what it, what it feels like to do some good and do the right thing and be responsible and save the day in the end. So I think there's, there's a great arc to his character for a Paulie Shores movie and it's, yeah, there's some moments where he really just kind of takes stock in what he's doing. And it's surprisingly, you can feel that, that he feels the weight of what he's doing or the responsibility he has. Yeah, I feel that way too. Just, that's why I like these Paulie Shores movies. It happened in son-in-law. It happened a little bit in Cino Man. I just think that's, I like those elements of the sincerity of him. Yeah. Dan, what about you? Do you like those moments or do you just like the straight comedy? No, I, I like both. Can I like both? Am I allowed? Is this a fair or? No, I like them both. And like I had said earlier, I think that this comes from a point of, he started his career as the really stupid sidekick and now he is leading this movie or at a minimum co-leading. I think he's leading, definitely leading and has the responsibility, not only in the movie, to lead all these people, but in real life too. And I think that allows him to kind of show off a little bit of a deeper side than just silly voices and antics. And I think it works really well. I think so too. Is there anything else about in the army now you want to discuss? Like favorite moments maybe that really made you laugh? It's, I think, well, Preston already said my favorite moment, which is them learning how to throw the grenades. I don't know why that's so funny because, because I just feel like any boy over the age of five knows how to pull the pin and throw. I don't know, it just makes me laugh every time. Well, because that, that scene works because she emphasizes that what to do three times and he still messes it up. And it's so great. And his reaction after it is like, Oh, thank you for saving my life. It just, it's so good. He's just always like, so sad. And like his response to grief is like when he gets the letter from his girlfriend saying that she's gone to the Italy coast with the guy named Guido. And he goes, luckily I'm too shallow to care for very long. And I just thought that was so good. Like that was really funny. Do you like, because a lot of people don't like Andy Dick here in like in life. Do you like Andy Dick in this movie? You mean in real life like now? Yeah, people don't like Andy Dick. Well, I mean, I think he's pretty sick and has a lot of substance abuse issues and I can get why people do not like talking, thinking or seeing him today. But I think there was a point and definitely in this movie he was, he served his purpose for sure where he made me laugh a couple times and I thought was a fine sidekick in this kind of a movie. But yeah, I get like right now, if you told me, "Hey Dan, tomorrow we're going to interview Andy Dick." I'd be like, "I'm good." Or if you sent me a YouTuber like, "Oh, you need to watch this Andy Dick thing." I'd be like, "Yeah, sure, Brian. I would not watch it." What do you think about Andy Dick Preston? I love him in this movie. I think he's great. He's kind of the straighter man with this, but he brings for instance, there's that great scene where they're deciding whether or not to join the army and then they're trying to remember the slogan and they're kind of going through it all. And then the way that he's like, "Keep going, going and gone." And then he's like, "No, that's the," and he moves his hands like the drums because that's how our memory works. We just register it with stuff going on in pop culture or commercials and something like that. So, yeah, I think he's a great response to the lunacy of Polyshore, like that one, that other scene where he's like, Polyshore says, "What was the last conflict? War, War II?" And then he's like, "What about Vietnam and Desert Storm?" I like how they're talking themselves into doing it and it's like, "What are we going to go to with water balloons with water purification? We're not going to go." And it's just, it's so funny. This movie still has gold and it's upsetting that it's never gotten a proper video release. It's expensive to buy digitally. It's like $18 to buy digitally. But there's never been like a, like Preston said, we need like a Polyshore box set. Like, come on, Criterion, or Shout Factory. I think it'd be great to put them all together and just do, like, put some retrospective interviews on there and like, I think another documentary could be put together with just how well liked he was at that time. At that time of like the explosion of MTV and then it just kind of fizzled out, but I think these movies capture a moment in time that was so grand and it's enjoyable to rewatch. But like I said, I still think it has appeal to it that can still be consumed today. Yeah, I agree. I think it's a wonderful, sweet movie to watch. And Polyshore nails these characters, no matter. I mean, especially in Encino Man and, I mean, you want to be, you want to have a friend like that that you can do, like, the Wheatie easel. It seems like you're being a kid. Yeah. And it's like, it seems like Polyshore is always a proponent of his friends. Like, he always builds them up and makes you feel loved. And that's why I love about that. Yeah. Yeah. I love movies that have characters like that too. Like, Drop Dead Fred. Like, the people that are just go about things in a way that's either kiddish, they haven't quite grown up yet, or they just go about it in a very unconventional way. Like, Wilford the dog or something like that when you're like, you don't realize in the moment that it's a lesson, but then after the fact when you reflect on it, you're like, oh, I actually learned quite a bit on like, I shouldn't take life too seriously. Or I should be more in touch with my kids side and having fun because society puts so much pressure on us to grow up and very rarely. But there's a balance to strike here and I think he learns that by the end of the film that, yes, you can have fun and be goofy, but there's a time and a place for you to actually step up and do what you're supposed to do. Yeah, I agree. It's, he nails it. Dan, how do you relate in the army now to John Wick? Chase him in the desert. That's, yeah, okay. Well, Preston got a better one. I was going to say I had a tough time because I don't think this is a tough one but yeah, the desert chase would have been really funny if Paulie Shore was like running by in the background while John Wick's just shooting people off of horses. Yeah, he's got his dune buggy in his camel when it's John Wick. I love it. I love it. What do you give this movie, Dan? What do you recommend it? What do you give this movie? Way better than 12%. I'll tell you that much. I'd probably put it up around like 60. 60% Alright, I wouldn't say like you have. I wouldn't say it's a must watch. I think I would have to choose who to tell to watch it. But it's definitely not 12% kind of ridiculous. Yeah. Well, it made like worst of lists from critics did. Yeah, did Ebert review this. I don't know. Look, I know he's not a Paulie Shore fan so he probably didn't. But he's a JLo fan or he was, which is crazy. Let's see. Yes, he did review it and one and a half stars. Oh, no. Let me see what he said. We were about halfway into the end of the army now when I realized this movie's secret ambition, which was to be nice. It's a movie about a misfit who finds himself in the army. They kind of set up that lends itself to the barbed satire of Bill Murray movie stripes. I was waiting for the barves and they work and they weren't coming into my amazement. I realized the movie wanted basically to be an innocent childlike adventure. Let's see what the final paragraph says because that'll put it. Here we go. Maybe the point of the Paulie Shore character is that he's cool and unengaged. Most of the time bombs explode all around him, but he's laid back and doesn't let anything get to him. Instead of laughs, we get to see him having a good time lost in the desert. He has lines like, "We are the few, the proud, the water boys." As they slog through the sand, a vulture follows them and eventually I begin to identify with the vulture, which seemed to be hanging around in case anyone thought of any vulture jokes. Don't agree, sir. Don't agree. What do you give this? It's like I have to speak honestly, so I think I would give it 69, but my heart, because it's one of my favorite comedies. Even with almost heroes, I feel like they're putting the same box where they're not as well regarded, but yet I think it has that same type of humor that I love and dumb and dumber, but people give dumb and dumber a pass. So in my heart, it's like a four-star movie, man. It's amazing. It's fun. It just makes me laugh and smile. My critic hat would probably say 69, even though I'm having fun with that number, but my heart and true self would probably put it in the 90s. Fuck, yes. See, I like me myself and I ring. You like this movie. 90s. That's amazing. It is good stuff. I mean, I would probably go as far between 85% and 90% for in the army now. I mean, it is just that good. I had a ball watching it again last night and just laughing out loud. It was. It was fun. No, it's fun. Dan doesn't like the movie. He gets a failing grade. I really want to know what Chelsea thought of it because she hadn't seen it before and I even almost selected it as part of our white elephant gift because I really wanted to say, "Hey, please give it to Chelsea because I really want her to watch it, but I really want to know what she thought." Well, hopefully, when she comes back on the show next week, she'll she can give a little rundown of what she thought because I'm curious to just because I think she's the young. No, she's not the youngest person. I am not. You're the youngest person. So I'm curious if she really liked the polyshore element of it. She likes it long. Yeah, she likes it long. Yeah. So, yeah, like in the army now, it is available everywhere to rent and buy digitally. You can rent it for about four bucks or buy it for like 18, but you be pressed to find it physically unless you buy an old DVD copy of it. Yeah, which is what I have. I have that and a VHS. Yeah, so VHS. So, yes, we are fear and Logan and cinema podcast. We are here every week with all these crazy movies. We'll be back next week. Preston, where can they find you? You can find me on Instagram under Blu-ray Dead. All my writing on didn't record Chronicle. I should have an article in the Dittin County magazine. That's a first for the spring issue. I wrote about Cosm Theatre in Dallas. Again, I did kind of a follow up and did an interview with the people that are in charge. Did you watch like UFC or wrestling or folk? No, I haven't done that yet. I've only watched, I saw like one of their educational shows because I took my son to go see it, which was orbital. And it took me back to when I used to go to the Omni Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas, and they had a dome screen and they would put together these videos. But a lot of stuff that's kind of put out today is very digitally driven. And it felt, that particular show felt, it was cool. They had a lot of great information in it for my son, but as somebody who likes to consume tech and see so much was talked about like how the dome is 12K. And it has, and the things that I like the most were the in between stuff, not the actual show itself because it felt like somebody rendered it in After Effects. But they did show a highlight reel of the games that they do like sports games where they put the camera inside the goal. Post and it looks amazing. So I really would like to, even though I'm not a big sports person, I think I'd watch a sports game and I'd be like, holy shit, this is amazing. I really hope they take off. They only have this in Dallas and in Las Vegas. No, Los Angeles, I think. And it, I think if it really does well, they could put some money into it and it could be something like IMAX where they film with like a more 360 camera. And so, yeah, it's pretty cool if you watch the right stuff with it. Yeah, awesome. Dan, where everybody finding you? Fair and loathing and cinema on Instagram. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
