🏀 “Ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball.”

We’re still rolling through August’s “Dumping Ground” Month, spotlighting films released in past Augusts—and this week is pure 90s Disney nostalgia. Join Henrique and David in Fernfield, Washington for Air Bud (1997), the family sports-comedy that launched 13 sequels and even has a meta sequel on the way in 2026. When Josh moves to a new town, he discovers a stray golden retriever with an unbelievable talent: playing basketball.

Directed by Charles Martin Smith and starring Michael Jeter, Kevin Zegers, and Bill Cobbs.
🎧 In this episode:

  • Are there actually rules preventing a dog from playing basketball?
  • The late Michael Jeter as a perfectly slimy villain
  • Beyond the movie: what other projects did Buddy appear in?
  • Be honest—do we remember anything besides Buddy draining shots?

🎤 PLUS:
  • Did watching all 13 Air Bud sequels break David?
  • The wild world of animals-playing-sports movies
  • Did your school run Monthly Movies too?
  • Zach Cregger’s Weapons vs Barbarian—how do they stack up?

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.120
M hm, Hey boy, Josh fram thought his dog was

2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:06.360
almost human.

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.720
Keep until he hit the chord, boy and became a

4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:16.440
real animal. On August first, that dog is in the house,

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.480
the dog can't play.

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.399
Basketball, and someone cover that dog.

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.320
Exusney stare Buck does they travel? Nobody in my drool

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.800
A little bit starts Friday, August first.

9
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:39.920
In a world where podcasts reigned Supreme Two Friends Dare

10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:51.520
to Ask, Do You Even? Movie hosted by filmmaker Enrique

11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:01:08.920
Kuto and movie officionado David Denyer. Spoiler alert, So what

12
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:09.480
did we see?

13
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:09.760
Dave?

14
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.159
We went to see Weapons, the new Zach Kreeger movie

15
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.120
from the guy that did Barbarian a couple of years ago.

16
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.760
It was last year at this point, I can't remember.

17
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.439
It was a couple of years ago. I think, yeah,

18
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.959
I think so, yeah, that's pretty good.

19
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.319
I enjoyed it. No, I had a great I had

20
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.359
a good time with it. I enjoyed Barbarian and also

21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.480
grew up watching Zach on the Whitest Kid, you know,

22
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.719
so seeing him get into horror and have two banger

23
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.000
flicks has been pretty awesome so far.

24
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.799
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I have to see Weapons.

25
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:43.840
A couple more times a little too slow for you. Uh, well, yeah,

26
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.040
it was pretty slow in the opening. Yeah, but I

27
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.599
Barbarian was really slow in the opening too.

28
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.879
Yeah, because you had that initial like twenty to thirty

29
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.000
minutes or so, I want to say, and then got

30
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.120
into Yeah, with weapons, it was like about forty five

31
00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:58.879
minutes to an hour.

32
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.040
Yeah. I think it could have lost twenty minutes and

33
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.959
it wouldn't have been too bad. Yeah, I mean it

34
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.200
crossed like the whole thing, not like in one specific part. No,

35
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:07.640
I gotcha.

36
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.919
I mean, and then, like we said, off Mike the

37
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.919
non linear storytelling that he does both in Barbarian as

38
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:14.759
well as Weapons.

39
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:15.439
I like that.

40
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.199
But yeah, I mean, it definitely does make you wait

41
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.120
for the payoff. But there was definitely a payoff with weapons.

42
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.120
Yeah, I would. I would definitely agree. Yeah. No, it

43
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.840
definitely doesn't make you wait for nothing. It's not an

44
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:33.039
Aria Astro movie, no, so that is definitely fair. I think.

45
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.120
Honestly, my favorite part of it was you and me

46
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.280
both we were talking in the theater that I can't

47
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.680
think of her name, but let me find her name

48
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.120
real quick. But she plays Shanin in Uncle Buck, and

49
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.680
she turned out to be a character in this that

50
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.800
caught me off card because I'd seen pictures floating around.

51
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.719
Without going into spoilers too much, I'd seen pictures floating

52
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.000
around of the character she plays, had no idea that

53
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:56.479
that was her.

54
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:07.840
Well, she's definitely a lot older. Yeah, who Amy madd again. Yeah. Yeah,

55
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.759
and she did a great job.

56
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.039
No, she's fantastic because she popped up in something a while.

57
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.240
But I mean, she's the mom in Field of Dreams.

58
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.840
If you don't know that, she's also in the Streets of Fire. Oh,

59
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.439
she was an antler. She was Antlers. She was the

60
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.560
principal Antlers. Oh okay, that's why I was trying to

61
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.159
think it saw her recently. It recently isn't four years ago.

62
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.199
But oh well yeah, but who's counting.

63
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.159
Oh and she's also the chicken the Hunt Convene store.

64
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.479
Oh yeah, yeah, she's actually been in a lot of

65
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:33.400
stuff for she has.

66
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.599
Yeah, but I know weapons. I would highly recommend, definitely

67
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.719
worth the trip to the theater for it. Our showing

68
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.800
was a little low, it felt like or maybe maybe

69
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:43.199
the mixer.

70
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.000
I thought the movie was just quiet. That might be it,

71
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.080
because when it was loud, it was very loud. Yeah,

72
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.840
but the movie is I thought there were long stretches

73
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:52.400
of quiet.

74
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:57.120
Yeah, no, absolutely purposeful purpose So definitely. At one point

75
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.039
we didn't know if the ambience of the rain pummeling

76
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.400
down on our theater was actually part of the soundtrack

77
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.479
or actually raining outside, And it turned out we just

78
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:06.840
had a really big storm moved through.

79
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:12.120
Well, you know, in the in the movie, it's told

80
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.719
from I think five perspectives, Yeah, and each one of

81
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.319
them they're they're relatively the same span of time, and

82
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.800
each one of them it rained. So yeah, when when

83
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.120
I would hear like rain ambience, I was like, oh,

84
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.160
is this the part where it rains in this segment?

85
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.680
So I didn't know, really I didn't. I didn't really

86
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.680
know for sure until we walked out into the parking

87
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.399
lot and it was what out Yeah.

88
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.720
But no weapons. I would highly recommend check it out

89
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.720
if you can. I think this is what it's first

90
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.040
full week, because I think it just came out last weekend.

91
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.639
Yeah, it came out, yeah, prior weekend, so it's already

92
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:50.879
a hit. Yeah, so good on them, I mean, well earned.

93
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.519
I'm really curious to see what's next. Yeah, because you know,

94
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.439
there's always the possibility of a sophomore slump. Yeah, and

95
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.319
this one was pretty good. I mean, it's hard to

96
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.399
to top Barbarian.

97
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.480
Barbarian was such a was such a surprise to begin with.

98
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.600
The trailers gave you really nothing when that movie came out,

99
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:10.759
and then when even when I went, when you and

100
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.560
I went to see it, I thought for sure that

101
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.839
scars Guard was going to be some part of evil

102
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.000
but turned out not.

103
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.319
I mean I think that's why they cast him. Yeah,

104
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.800
well absolutely, I mean that in the Eye and the

105
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.040
Weird Eye. They were just like, feel bad for him

106
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.399
to give them a little bit of money.

107
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.600
But I mean, we're having a fucking banger of a

108
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.079
year for horror, I'm onney.

109
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.040
So far, Yeah, it's been a pretty good year for it. Yeah,

110
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.480
I mean, well we started early. We started early.

111
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.279
Yeah, but I mean, like compare, everybody was curious if

112
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.480
we could match up to like Long Legs and everything

113
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.800
that happened last year, because last year was super strong too,

114
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.319
and so far, I think, honestly, this year might even

115
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:45.759
be topping last year in my opinion.

116
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.759
Well, and we haven't even gotten to Osgod Perkins mov.

117
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.120
For the year as that Keeper Yep, yeah, Keeper, it

118
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.720
comes out in November, so he's got to this year.

119
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:53.759
He's got the Monkey and Keeper.

120
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.040
Yeah. Wow. Remember at the end of Monkey they showed it, Yeah,

121
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.199
and it said coming this year.

122
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.000
I still need to see even though it's not him,

123
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.560
but they showed the trailer. Will move in to see.

124
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:02.879
I still need to watch The Woman in the Yard.

125
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.720
It's on Peacock now, but I haven't a chance to

126
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:05.439
check it out yet.

127
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.720
I loved it. Nobody else seemed to care, but I

128
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:08.160
loved it.

129
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.600
I saw a couple of people saying it was pretty decent.

130
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.560
Presence was one that I was still one that I

131
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.560
did not expect to be blown away by.

132
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:18.720
Was that this year? Yeah?

133
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.759
Pretty sure it was cold, it could be let me

134
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.959
check not He wasn't sure it was.

135
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.160
Let's see. Presence was.

136
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.040
Listed as twenty twenty four, but I think that's when

137
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.120
it was made. I think it was released this year though,

138
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:39.240
and it'll check. Yeah, released January twenty fourth of twenty

139
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:39.759
twenty five.

140
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.079
Yeah, okay, that makes sense. I mean that wasn't really

141
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:48.759
a horror movie. No, No, it was more but not thriller.

142
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.040
But it was like a mystery drama kind of thing. Yeah,

143
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.800
just but it did it did feature ghosts, yeah, psychological heavily. Yeah, yeah,

144
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.800
I mean I just did. There wasn't anything particularly horrific.

145
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.839
It was very very tense, yeah, and mysterious. So I

146
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:04.639
really enjoyed it.

147
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.920
And it's currently on Hulu in the States, So if

148
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.199
you have not seen Presence yet, make sure you check

149
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.519
out Presence on Hulu because that is definitely worth a watch.

150
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.759
Eighty four minute runtime too. I forgot about that.

151
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.279
It is. Yeah, pretty much zoomed right by.

152
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.759
So have you watch anything with your Joe Bob recently?

153
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:19.040
And all?

154
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.879
Uh, you talked about the one what was it that

155
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:28.240
had the criminals that were together? Oh? God, damn, what's

156
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.920
his face? Michael Peree, isn't it?

157
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.959
Oh you're talking about World Gone wide? Well gone wild? Yeah,

158
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.879
Bruce Dern, Yeah, yeah, it was pretty pretty interesting, not

159
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.800
at all what I would expect. It was just kind

160
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.720
of a very very dark, humor like post apocalyptic sci

161
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:46.279
fi movie.

162
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.439
Curious you said, and you said, it's like nowhere right

163
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:50.800
except it on YouTube.

164
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.720
There's a good transfer on YouTube which might be legitimate.

165
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.279
It's hard to tell, huh. And that's about it.

166
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.879
That actually kind of leads us into Tonight's movie because

167
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.439
I found out it's legitimately on YouTube under Airbud's channel.

168
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.519
Well that doesn't surprise me because it's a mainstream movie,

169
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:06.319
but it's older.

170
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.839
Yeah, but yeah, the entire movie. It just surprised me

171
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.800
because Disney. I mean, it's a Disney movie, and I

172
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.600
didn't think they normally gave stuff for free.

173
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.720
I don't know. I mean they don't keep all of

174
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.279
their stuff only on their app. Yeah that's true. I

175
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.639
mean they have a decent amount of exclusives, but a

176
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.560
lot of their stuff is elsewhere. A lot of stuff's

177
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.639
on Netflix, and and all YouTube really is is the

178
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.840
largest video on demand platform in the world. Yeah, so

179
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.240
I mean, if you have the views, it'll make you

180
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.200
just as much money as to Be or Pluto or anybody. What.

181
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.919
I just found out too that Airbud and its sequels

182
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.720
only hit Disney Plus like back in twenty twenty three,

183
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.080
according to Wikipedia at least.

184
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.519
Well, Disney Plus is still somewhat someone knewish, Yeah, didn't

185
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.840
didn't it launch right at covid.

186
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.679
Right around I think maybe was it before? I think

187
00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.840
it was like maybe right before, but I could be wrong.

188
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.240
November twelve, twenty nineteen.

189
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.879
Twenty nineteen yeah, so right before Yeah.

190
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.240
So, I mean in the grand scheme of things, it's

191
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:08.440
it's relatively young.

192
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:13.559
Yeah, but yeah, we are talking about nineteen ninety seven's Airbud.

193
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.200
Tonight's one hour and thirty eight minutes rated PG for

194
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.039
brief mild language, the only one of the series rated PG.

195
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.240
By the way, they're all GG after that, all thirteen.

196
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:29.240
That sounds right, because like, yeah, PG, the PG Disney

197
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.759
era was I don't know, I feel like it was

198
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.320
much more during the theatrical era.

199
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.120
Yeah, I mean, because you had like the ones that

200
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:40.720
come to mine are like flubber Angels in the outfield.

201
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.039
I mean some of the most of the ones are

202
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.919
that I'm thinking of her nineties. But I mean there

203
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.960
was definitely someone there that were in the eighties of

204
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.720
REPG two, I think, I.

205
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.600
Mean, I don't know when G was introduced. That might

206
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.840
have been an original, but I'm not for sure, possibly yet,

207
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.320
But I mean there were just a lot of PG

208
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.720
kids movies. I mean Hook was PG, and Bushwhacked. Bushwhacked

209
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.720
was PG. I think Little Giants's PG two actually Home

210
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:02.399
Alone was PG.

211
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:03.440
Yeah.

212
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.200
So I mean there was always the edge, but I

213
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:11.000
would say that without the extensive knowledge you have, Yeah,

214
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:17.120
of the Airbud cinematic universe, that they probably leaned into

215
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.799
the g after the first one because they were really

216
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.120
going for their for their target market, which was like

217
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.919
really young, Yeah, really young.

218
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.759
We'll talk about it when we get the trivia, obviously,

219
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.879
but the first one was a big hit theatrically, so

220
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:31.600
the second one was theatrical. Airbud Golden Receiver was theatrical,

221
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.879
but it did so poorly that then from that point on,

222
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.399
the three Airbud sequels after that were all direct to video,

223
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.039
and then basically every single air Buddies, which I'll talk

224
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.679
about also was also straight to video.

225
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:43.759
Huh.

226
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:45.879
Some of them may even premiered on Disney Channel. I

227
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.000
can't remember, but yeah, I watched.

228
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:49.720
I watched.

229
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:53.159
According to my letterbox, I watched twenty hours of Airbud

230
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.960
movies in the last two and a half weeks.

231
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.679
Oh did you did you keep track by just writing

232
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.399
with feces on the wall or I had to break

233
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:03.720
them up?

234
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.879
I mean I did towards the end because I just

235
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.279
wanted to get them done. About the last three four

236
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.000
days ago. I did mainline about five within a day,

237
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.480
and that was that was.

238
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.000
A lot sounds like a lot.

239
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.879
The IVTB synopsis of Airbud says, an unexpected player joins

240
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.279
the basketball team a circus dog who escaped from a

241
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:27.919
cruel master. What an unexpected player joins the basketball team

242
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.240
a circus dog who escaped from a cruel master.

243
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.000
As a weirdly arranged sentence.

244
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.039
Considering not really a circus dog, more so just a

245
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.559
performer dog for the clown.

246
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:40.480
But I mean, I mean, you can be a circus performer. Yeah,

247
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.879
if you perform something traditionally from the circus. That makes sense.

248
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.039
So I mean in clowns are traditionally from the circus.

249
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:47.639
Also true.

250
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.000
So my synopsis says, when Josh and his family moved

251
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.360
to a new town, Josh discovers a stray Golden retriever

252
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.559
who can play basketball.

253
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.879
I mean, that's pretty pretty pretty straight.

254
00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:59.879
We have two tag lines this week, one of which

255
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:03.279
he sits, he stays, he shoots, he scores.

256
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.320
It's pretty solid that the very nineties, solidly nineties.

257
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.759
And the other one is the dog is in the house.

258
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.200
Okay, fair enough.

259
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.000
Airbud currently on Disney Plus, also on Fowsome, rentable on

260
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.240
Private Fandango, and as I mentioned, there is an exclusive

261
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.000
YouTube link for the entire movie up as well, so

262
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.399
you can find it in multiple places. Our director of

263
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.039
the film is Charles Martin Smith, who gets his start

264
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.320
in nineteen eighty six directing Trick or Treat.

265
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.480
That one Sammy Kerr. That was the first movie I

266
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.399
was the director of. Airbud. Yes was Trick or Treat.

267
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.919
I'm glad to see he moved up because.

268
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.080
Then he goes on to do Boris Natasha in ninety one.

269
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:44.919
I always liked that movie he did.

270
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.159
Yeah, he's a think well, I came up recently, I think,

271
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.679

Yeah, still going for him writer on the film. We

291
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.080
I don't remember that that was a I believe it's

292
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.080
like maybe thirteen episodes or so.

293
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.360
What's his face?

294
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:47.440

the Hall, No, Brian Thompson the big Face guy in Cobra,

296
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.120
the slasher guy. I can't think it was as killer's

297
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.480
name in that movie. Then there was air Bud in

298
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.399

00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.360
I looked it up, and I don't know if we

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.720
maybe saw a tree Tyler Ford or whatnot, but I

323
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.279

the theater for like a second.

326
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.039
I think it's a guy Ritchie if I'm not mistaken,

327
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:09.840
I think he directed that.

328
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.759
It sounds like his kind of exactly. Yeah.

329

502
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.240

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:23.119
I believe too. Yeah, and that was where I remember

504
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:24.680
seeing him. But there's a movie, the one I sat

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.400
on there, the entitled which is him, Rayleiota and a

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.799
there's this scheme going on that's bigger than what they

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:38.039
put out to be originally.

553
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:45.880
a resume, I would I would agree.

554
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:48.480
So what was your first time watching air Bud?

555
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.480
Apparently I had never seen it all the way through, okay,

556
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.359
because I did not remember a massive portion of the film. Yeah,

557
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.640
so I must have seen it on television and thought

558
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:02.400
that I'd seen all of it because it would have

559
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.279
been when I was like eleven years old. Yeah, yeah,

560
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:10.880
somewhere in that neighborhood. So yeah, I don't remember watching

561
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.039
it per se. No, that's fair. I was surprised. I

562
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.920
really only remembered playing basketball. Well. I remembered like the

563
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.160
kid moving, yeah, and stuff like that. I remember some

564
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.039
of the sentimental stuff. I didn't remember the court scene

565
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:27.799
at all. Yeah, like not, did not recall that at all.

566
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.079
The one thing that I've always distinctly remembered because of

567
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:31.839
just how haunting it was to me is the coach

568
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:33.000
throwing the balls at the kid.

569
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:34.720
Yeah that was pretty brutal.

570
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.440
Yeah, but uh, my first time watching it, I'm not

571
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.640
a one hundred percent sure. I remember they showed it

572
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.920
to us in school. I know we rented it from

573
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.839
the library, showed it to you in school, and like

574
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:46.960
monthly Movie.

575
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:48.680
You guys watched a movie every month.

576
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:51.680
Monthly movie that was basically our reward at the end

577
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.599
of the month for having good attendance, good assignments, not

578
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:55.680
being a piece of shit, that.

579
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:58.960
Sort of thing. But oh wow, okay, oh dude.

580
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:02.160
Like monthly Movie, that's how I saw all hook Gunther

581
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.200
in the Paper, Brigade, Angels in the Outfield. I mean

582
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:06.920
I already seen some of these, but yeah, there was

583
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:12.160
a large portion. We also premiered was it Elf? Which

584
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:14.119
I think Elf was in sixth grade of I'm honestly.

585
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:16.319
And they made us anything we watched had to have

586
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:17.920
educational value. Shit.

587
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:21.400
At my school, we got to watch like Princess Bride.

588
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:23.279
I mean this was like later in the years, but yeah,

589
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:25.079
I mean we had monthly movie I think like from

590
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:26.519
third grade on.

591
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.359
I would say, Man, we didn't even have any movies

592
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.680
till middle school, and then they had to be related

593
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:35.039
to what we were learning. Yeah, yeah, because that's how

594
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:37.480
I saw. I mean I saw some interesting stuff, it's all.

595
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:43.039
I saw Mister Holland's Opus and some movies that were

596
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.599
about like the French and Indian War and stuff. Yeah.

597
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.680
But yeah, they like even like a Christmas Story was

598
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:53.039
only shown because it was the social studies gotcha, because

599
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.440
it was about the past. Yeah. So we'd watch like

600
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.079
movie movie adaptations of books we read in in and

601
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.519
you know, English class and stuff. But yeah, we didn't

602
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:05.079
just watch movies for fun.

603
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.480
Yeah, Latin three, I had to get a permission slip

604
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:08.759
sign so we could watch Gladiator.

605
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:12.440
We watched Gladiator in Latin. Three Did they speak Latin

606
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.920
and Gladiator.

607
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:17.079
At some point? At some points they do. I think

608
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:22.000
it's more so just the timing and place. Okay, we

609
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:25.480
also watched when I was in junior high. We had

610
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:27.920
it was like towards the end of the year. They

611
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:29.680
it was like the last week of school, I want

612
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:31.200
to say, so we all got to like there was

613
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.160
different movies being shown in a different classrooms. So like

614
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.119
one classroom was showing Napoleon Dynamite, one classroom was showing

615
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:39.559
was the other one it was.

616
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:41.240
Heavy Weights or something like that.

617
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.839
But one of our teachers picked Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,

618
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.519
and two teachers took their classes outside because that movie

619
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:49.359
was too adult.

620
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:52.720
I mean, it had some historical relevance, but that was

621
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.359
kind of the joke. Yeah, it was that they were,

622
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:58.519
you know, kidnapping historical figures in order to write their

623
00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.640
school assignment.

624
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.480
From what I understand, the straw that broke the camel's

625
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.920
back was Napoleon slamming on the bowling ball court, going

626
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:07.400
ship ship ship ship.

627
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.319
Shit. Well you're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.

628
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.119
There's that and then I think there was the sixty

629
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:16.039
nine joke also did not set well the teachers apparently.

630
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:17.599
Hah, funny internet number.

631
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.599
But yeah, No, Airbud was a movie that I we

632
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.359
had rented it. I'd seen it before. It's not one

633
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.039
I go back to often. I probably hadn't seen it

634
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.839
probably fifteen years until this episode.

635
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.559
Well, I would assume it's the kind of movie that

636
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.599
if it hits you in that sweet spot, then you'll

637
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:36.839
watch it again and again. Yeah, kind of like I

638
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.200
mean for me, I had like Indian in the Cupboard and.

639
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.640
Beethoven, yeah, which I just watched Beethoven for the first

640
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:45.160
time this year.

641
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:46.480
That's so crazy.

642
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:48.839
It is kind of crazy, honestly because I saw trailers

643
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.599
for it a lot growing up and also knew that

644
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:51.160
they existed.

645
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.680
Plus there's like, I think eight of.

646
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.319
Them now if I'm not mistaken, it's gotta be plenty, yeah,

647
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:57.480
because I know there's at least seven, because I have

648
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.519
at least seven or eight my voodoo.

649
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.200
Ye. But I think, yeah, I think that if like,

650
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.000
if it had hit me at the timing of like

651
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:08.400
a like Beethoven or Little Giants or something, yeah, it

652
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.559
probably would have been in the rotation a little bit more.

653
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.599
I feel like there's more of a of a recollection

654
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:17.720
that there's more animals playing sports movies than there actually are,

655
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.519
because like, trying to get my recommendations for this episode

656
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.440
was a little like I was trying to like see

657
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.759
if I could find something like that, because for some

658
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:25.640
reason in my mind, I thought that there were multiple

659
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:29.240
movies of animals playing sports, but I really couldn't find any.

660
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:32.039
I thought there were like monkeys, Ed, That's about it.

661
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.200
Like, Ed's the one that I think of, which I

662
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.440
think is a monkey playing baseball?

663
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:37.519
Yeah, right, but yeah, I.

664
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:39.359
Mean, other than that, it's mostly the Earbud movies. And

665
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.200
then like most vertical primate was a skateboarding monkey.

666
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:43.880
I remember that.

667
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:45.799
I think a lot of more monkeys.

668
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:51.000
Now, Yeah. Yeah, Ed chimpanzee named Ed Sullivan joins a

669
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:54.720
minor league baseball team with Matt LeBlanc of Friends as

670
00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:58.720
his teammate. Holy shit, he's initially a mascot but proves

671
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:00.960
his talent on the field yield. God.

672
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:05.319
Yeah, I was hoping to find more than what I remembered,

673
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:07.319
but yeah, I couldn't really locate too many that I

674
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:08.000
could recall.

675
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:10.799
I mean, unfortunately, most of them are just gonna be

676
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:16.319
airbudsque probably yeah, oh yeah, yeah, MVP Most Valuable Primate,

677
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:23.480
tons of air bud movies. Oh, Gus, Gus struggling California

678
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.119
Adams seek the help of a ball kicking mule from Yugoslavia. Yes,

679
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.200
for nineteen seventy eight. Yeah, remember now, I do remember, Gus.

680
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.680
I just didn't.

681
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.279
It was that old MXP Most Extreme Prime.

682
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:34.440
That's the skateboarding one.

683
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.400
Yeah, snowboarding. I mean, is it snowboarding? Yeah, that's okay, stood, well,

684
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:39.400
you might skateboard as well.

685
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.240
As I said, I remember, there's one that there was

686
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.400
one MVP MXP one of those that there was a

687
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.200
skateboarding monkey or rollerblading monkey, even because I think it

688
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.960
was around that time.

689
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.319
Then there was Soccer Dog, the movie, Oh yeah, Soccer Dog.

690
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:55.920
And then another MVP movie, The Karate Dog. If you

691
00:31:55.920 --> 00:32:01.680
count karate, I do, talking karate chopping dog teams of

692
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:03.640
the police detective to solve the murder of his owner.

693
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.960
That sounds intense.

694
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:11.759
I think it's like really goofy uh oh yeah, Matilda

695
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:15.480
the boxing Kangaroo. Holy shit, there are more than I realized. Yeah,

696
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:18.279
I just I just searched animal movies where animals play baseball,

697
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:23.119
and that was one of the first lists that came up. Yeah,

698
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.279
Game Spot has one too, But most of these are

699
00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:27.400
air bud movies.

700
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.599
Because Dunstan throws a frisbee. But I don't think Dunstan

701
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:31.920
really plays sport. Well, actually, there may be a scene

702
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:33.680
where they're playing baseball the hotel room now to think

703
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.000
about it.

704
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:36.920
Oh, the original Bonzo Goes to College from nineteen fifty two.

705
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:39.759
There We Go was Ronnie Reagan in middle. Yes, he

706
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:42.680
was about an ape and a college professor and an

707
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:48.680
experiment about genetic theory. Yeah, there's quite a few animal Yeah,

708
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:51.440
the Soccer Dog the movie. I don't think I'm gonna

709
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.880
find any that I haven't.

710
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:55.559
Are there any that come to mind?

711
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.880
Oh, there's a second soccer dog movie called Soccer Dog

712
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:03.559
European Cup Go from twenty thirteen, a film about the

713
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:06.480
very first gorilla playing in the Korean Baseball League.

714
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.680
Some of these sound awesome. I that checks on his out.

715
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.960
Yep, your your brain is mush from all of the

716
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:14.559
air buddies.

717
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.640
Oh, don't worry, I got plenty of details on those.

718
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.440
So we start in regards to air Bud we meet

719
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.279
Norman Shivley, who is getting ready to go to a

720
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:26.039
birthday gig as a clown, and he has Buddy with them.

721
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:27.920
And what is Buddy's name in the beginning?

722
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:29.240
Is it? He didn't have a name. He didn't have it,

723
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.240
that's why he had to make it on the dogcats right, No, well, yeah,

724
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.079
because he he names him old Blue when he sees

725
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:38.000
blue paints. Yeah, but yeah, he had no name. Yeah.

726
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.480
So he is getting the dog ready for a show.

727
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:42.839
They pull into the driveway and he basically threatens the

728
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:44.680
dog with a newspaper, telling him that he's got to

729
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.720
behave or else. He knows what's gonna happen this time.

730
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.480
Yep, he's gonna whoop him.

731
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.559
So they go into the party and everything's going fine

732
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:52.000
so far.

733
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:52.279
There.

734
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.559
It's a children's party, a small gathering for the most

735
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.960
part of kids, and they seem to be entertained with

736
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:01.559
the dog, and then something goes wrong something Yeah, and

737
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.240
the dog basically starts making a mess of the house

738
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.000
and pissing off the mother and Norm and the dog

739
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.079
get thrown out and he basically tells the dog that

740
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:11.960
this was its last chance, puts it in a crate,

741
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.079
puts it in the back of the truck and goes

742
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.920
driving off down the road unaware that he forgot to

743
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:18.840
shut Did he forget to shut the back of it

744
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:20.920
or he just didn't tie it down basically.

745
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.159
Yeah, it just fell out, Yeah, the truck.

746
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.400
So he's driving on the rim on the road and

747
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.440
the dog's crate literally falls out, almost gets hit by

748
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.039
a van and truck semi truck.

749
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:30.360
Yeah.

750
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:33.920
And then that is when we also meet Josh, his mom, Jackie,

751
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:37.679
and her daughter as they are driving into Fernfield moving

752
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.480
into a new place. They're relocating to Fernfield, Washington.

753
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:41.079
Uh.

754
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.280
And we do find out that a little later on,

755
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.800
but they have just recently lost their father about like

756
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:46.599
a year or so ago.

757
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.199
Yeah. Yep, that's the heart strings of Airbud. It really

758
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:50.639
is though.

759
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:53.840
So Josh is a new kid in town. They move

760
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.000
into a giant house, which I was Didn't his mom

761
00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.679
say that she got a job at like a napkin

762
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:00.000
factory or something along those.

763
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:03.719
Lines, Well, I mean the third largest napkin producer in

764
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.559
North America. Yeah, I mean I assume by the fact

765
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:09.480
that she had like pantsuits and stuff, that she was

766
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:10.719
some kind of a higher up.

767
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:13.079
Oh and she's talking about on the phone. Through the movie,

768
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:15.679
She's talking about like pricing and whatnot on things.

769
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:17.480
So yeah, I think she's Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's

770
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:20.360
some kind of a manager or something. Yeah.

771
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:24.000
So they end up actually pulling they about miss Buddy's crate,

772
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.159
and by this point Buddy is also out of the

773
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:27.440
crate and standing on the side of the road and

774
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.719
his little clown costume too, which is really sad.

775
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.320
Yeah. Yeah, and I can't imagine how awful be for

776
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:34.280
a dog to wear a clown knows, no, no kidding.

777
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.679
So we also then go over, Like I said, we

778
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:41.360
go over to their house, and that is when Josh

779
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.239
is getting into the new place. We're seeing that he's

780
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.440
also going to be going to the new school and

781
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.559
he's going to be in the band. He's also going

782
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.519
to be trying not exactly but trying out for the

783
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:52.480
team or at least trying to be friendly with the

784
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:53.960
basketball team at the school.

785
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:57.639
Yeah, he seems to have an interest in basketball. Yeah.

786
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.440
So that is when he ends up having a really

787
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.159
really bad day at class. He's kind of made fun

788
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:06.880
of in the class for playing the trombone, and he

789
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.679
doesn't really make friends exactly right away, and he ends

790
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:12.119
up walking home from school that day and comes to

791
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.239
this old, abandoned church where he actually finds Buddy in

792
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.320
hiding in the back, like in the back of forest

793
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:18.880
like area where this basketball court is. No.

794
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.320
Well, he goes past the fence and there's an old,

795
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.559
like overgrown basketball court. Yeah, so he goes in there

796
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:27.199
and tries to practice basketball where nobody will laugh at him.

797
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:29.559
And then the bushes start growling, just.

798
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.119
To start growling, and he tries to get Buddy out

799
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.360
of the bushes by using a pudding cup.

800
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:37.360
I think I would like to think it was Tapa Yoka,

801
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.239
but I think it was butterscotch. Yeah, I think it

802
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:41.360
was all. Yeah.

803
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:45.920
So he finds out that the dog honestly can watch

804
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:48.440
him play basketball, but also follows the ball, and he

805
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.920
starts bouncing the ball off of Buddy's nose, but he

806
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:52.440
doesn't start taking shots just yet.

807
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:56.000
He's just playing with the dog basically. Yeah, well, most

808
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:59.199
kids don't prior to this movie coming out, don't assume

809
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:01.239
a dog can play back basketball. I mean, they're not

810
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.519
just throwing a basketball to a dog. There is that.

811
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:04.440
There is that indeed.

812
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.440
So yeah, he starts seeing that the dog can can

813
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.400
hit the ball, but he's not shooting any hoops yet.

814
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:10.199
But they have a good time.

815
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.280
And that's when he decides that he wants to bring

816
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:14.760
Buddy home because Buddy's a bandon. He's astray and he

817
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:16.119
wants to try and see if he can sneak the

818
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:16.599
dog home.

819
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:20.079
At this point, well, sneak is a strong word. He

820
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:22.039
takes him home to clean him up, to try and

821
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.639
put the best foot forward to his mom. It's so good.

822
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:28.039
So he literally leaves a trail of pudding cups from

823
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:31.440
the church almost to the house, like a large trail

824
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:34.840
of pudding cups. And yeah, the next scene is he

825
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:40.000
gets Buddy inside and Buddy is Buddy is put into

826
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:41.920
the tub. I love it because Josh is like dressed

827
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:44.440
in like a yellow rain slicker at this point, and

828
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:45.559
it's a really cute scene.

829
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:48.480
Yeah, and the tub is just overflowing with SuDS and

830
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:50.719
he just throws the dog right in. Yeah. Do you

831
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:52.079
ever have to give a dog a bath when you

832
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:52.480
were little?

833
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.760
Uh? When I was little? No, not that I can recall.

834
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.679
When my sister's dog, Sydney was still alive, I give

835
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:00.719
Sydney a bath a couple times and always laughed because

836
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.400
you look like Dobby and the Harry Potter movies.

837
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.480
When she was wet. Yeah, dogs get real small. Yeah

838
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:08.400
when you get them wet. I used to have to

839
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:11.760
give my Karen terrier a bath, and he was not

840
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.719
a fan. That's how I learned the trick. You probably

841
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.159
don't even know the trick. What's the trick? You hold

842
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:19.840
one of their front legs up by the paw. Yeah,

843
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:24.159
and then they can't shake a balance, so that way

844
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:27.280
they won't blast you with shaking until you're ready. That

845
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.079
makes sense, So yeah, buddy.

846
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.079
Also, while this is happening, so Buddy, Buddy has been

847
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:34.119
brought home at this point, and Josh is trying to

848
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:36.559
be on his best behavior with his mom. But then

849
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.199
Buddy ends up coming out a little prematurely and starts

850
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:40.920
wrecking the dining well.

851
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.320
I mean, he just spills like a five gallon jug

852
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:47.239
of wallpaper glue. Yeah, you know which, I'm sure it's

853
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.159
not that sticky, No, not at all. So yeah, Josh

854
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:51.000
tries to hide Buddy.

855
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.000
That doesn't go well, so his mom basically gives him

856
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:56.119
an ultimatum that if they can, they're gonna put up posters.

857
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:57.559
They're going to look for his owner and if his

858
00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:59.719
owner doesn't claim him in three weeks. Josh tries to

859
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.760
Will whittled that down to like two weeks in a day.

860
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.239
Ends up being that she'd agrees to the holidays.

861
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.119
Well she said one week. Yeah, and he negotiated all

862
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.840
the way up till after Christmas. Yeah. I did like

863
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:12.400
that line because she says like, oh, you're going to

864
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:13.039
be a lawyer.

865
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.960
Also, we forgot to mention too that Josh tries to

866
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:20.920
Josh tries to get on the basketball team, but the

867
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:22.840
and the coach takes notice of him and he goes,

868
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.239
you're the new kid. I'm looking for a team manager,

869
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:26.880
you know. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in?

870
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:28.000
And he agrees to do.

871
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.519
It reluctantly if he's told you have to be here

872
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.199
before the team gets here and leave after the team left. Yep, yeah, yeah,

873
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.639
sounds like a great opportunity to be bored.

874
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:44.119
So Josh goes about putting posters up downtown. They're trying

875
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:46.920
to get Buddy's face out there and everything, and Buddy's

876
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.119
making friendly with the home. There's at one point he

877
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:51.719
goes out of the window of the second floor, gets

878
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:54.119
onto the roof to retrieve the newspaper, which he then

879
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:58.599
buries in the backyard because Norm threatens him with newspapers.

880
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:00.519
So funny fan of newspaper, but he is not a

881
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.320
fan of them. The whole sequence where Buddy climbs the

882
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:06.079
trellis and gets up there and stuff is really impressive

883
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:06.639
to watch.

884
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:08.559
No, it really is, and I love it to you

885
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.719
because his mom starts wondering where all the newspapers are

886
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:11.039
going to.

887
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.480
Yeah, she's like calling the newspaper and saying like, I

888
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.199
don't I haven't gotten a paper in weeks. I do

889
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:17.760
like that part where she comes out to get her

890
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:20.559
paper and the neighbor's just like, what's new and she's like,

891
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:21.119
I don't know.

892
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:30.440
So then by this point, Josh is also realizing that

893
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:33.760
one of the maintenance guys at his school, which is

894
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.400
mister Art Cheney, matches a basketball player card of one

895
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:38.760
of his dad's, Arthur Cheney.

896
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.360
Well he notices it after he breaks into the guy's

897
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:45.199
by accent he's taking all the sweaty clothes to the laundry. Yeah,

898
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:47.280
and he ends up just kind of sneaking around the

899
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:51.719
janitorial station or whatever playing basketball. Right. Well, that's way

900
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.480
later later yeah. Yeah, No. He goes in there and

901
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:58.719
he finds a jersey for the Knicks that's like number eight.

902
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.440
I think that's what makes him think to go home

903
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.119
and look at his dad's baseball basketball card collection. Yeah.

904
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:10.000
So he actually ends up taking the card to Art

905
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:11.599
to even try to get him to sign it, and

906
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:13.239
he puts it through this little grate and he's like,

907
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:14.760
you know, do you think this is me? And he's

908
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:16.400
like yeah, He's like is it and he's like, no,

909
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:18.239
that man died a long time ago.

910
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.079
Yeah, not sad at all. No.

911
00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:23.960
But luckily a happy scene comes because we end up

912
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.760
getting into the holidays. It's Christmas morning. Josh goes downstairs

913
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.119
and his mom has put a bow on Buddy.

914
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.000
Well, the way they fake you out is pretty great

915
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:34.599
because Buddy's just gone on yeh, because he's been sneaking

916
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:38.559
into his bedroom upstairs bedroom window every night. Yeah, and

917
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:41.000
uh yeah, you think that they've just take him Buddy

918
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.199
away or something. And then he comes downstairs and Buddy's

919
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.079
wrapped in a bow and it's a very sweet little scene.

920
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.039
And this leads us into the big scene because I

921
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.320
think it's like forty five minutes in that we actually

922
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:54.079
see that Buddy can play basketball in regards of actually

923
00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:54.599
shooting a.

924
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.880
Ball if it was that late, But it was definitely

925
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:57.719
later than I.

926
00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:59.559
Think it's forty five is because I think I clocked

927
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:01.760
it when I was watch But yeah, he he goes

928
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:04.960
to the basketball court, the overgrown basketball court. He's playing around,

929
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.239
and the ball gets away from Josh, it gets over

930
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.000
to Buddy, and Buddy literally jumps up, takes a shot,

931
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:11.800
and the ball goes into the hoop.

932
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.559
Yeah, And it's important to point out the even point

933
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.480
out in the credits that every time Buddy made a hoop,

934
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.400
it was no there were no special effects used. He

935
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.599
was legitimately scoring hoops. Yes, he was. He was.

936
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:25.639
He was a train dog and could do it. And

937
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:30.440
so that leads Josh to try and try to persuade

938
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:32.840
the team to kind of accept Buddy. But that is

939
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:34.000
that right here.

940
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:38.039
I think, Well, first one of the there ends up

941
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:39.800
being an opening on the team. Yeah, one of the

942
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:45.280
kids moves away. Yeah, so he gets a mysterious offer

943
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.960
to join the team, which I'm assuming the janitor put

944
00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:52.760
in his locker probably yeah, although yeah, probably the janitor. Yeah.

945
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.639
But so he goes to try out for the team. Yep,

946
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:59.119
that's that's what happens before before Buddy makes his appearance.

947
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.559
Yeah, because they up having their first game, or the

948
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:03.519
first game for Josh, and he's playing on the court

949
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:06.239
and Buddy is left at home. Except he ends up

950
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:09.559
getting out, going to the school, getting on the court

951
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:12.760
during gameplay and starts making a fuss with everybody.

952
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.719
But everybody is loving it. Yeah, because Buddy is a

953
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:17.320
damn fine basketballer.

954
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:19.480
Yeah, he gets the attention of everybody in the audience.

955
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:21.840
They even somebody is filming it. At one point they're

956
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:23.840
trying to get Buddy off the court, but everybody is

957
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:26.280
just amazed that this dog can play basketball.

958
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:29.360
I mean, it would be surprising. I would be surprised,

959
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:33.039
even having seen Airbud, if a dog started playing basketball

960
00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:33.559
in front of me.

961
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.440
So yeah, he ends up making a big splash at

962
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:39.159
the event that night. It's the end of the game

963
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:42.480
and everybody is meeting Buddy in the lobby.

964
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:44.119
And this leads Buddy to get away.

965
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:46.039
From them for a second, and he ends up going

966
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:49.559
into the gym where we find a really unfortunate scene

967
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.079
that I mentioned earlier. The coach had one of the team,

968
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.480
one of the team players, Tommy could not catch the ball.

969
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.199
Anytime the ball was thrown to him, he would drop it.

970
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:58.880
So the coach, in his stupor, is deciding to just

971
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.440
hurl basketball that Tommy. Well, no one is in the

972
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:04.079
gym except those two. Yeah, that's pretty sad, except the

973
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:05.239
principal catches him.

974
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:10.000
Well, because Airbud takes them all to to see what's happening. Yeah, so,

975
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:15.320
which is an interesting little reveal of Airbud's kind of

976
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:16.360
empathetic nature.

977
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:18.880
It is so this leads, obviously for the coach to

978
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:20.559
end up getting released from the team. He ends up

979
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.719
getting fired, and so Josh goes to see the principal

980
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:26.199
and he asked, you know, do you have anybody in

981
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:28.239
mind to replace the coach? And she's like, no, I don't.

982
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.039
And he's like, well I do. And now we have

983
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:33.239
mister Arthur Chaney taking over the team.

984
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:37.599
Yes, and his team style is very different because he's

985
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.719
actually concerned with the team and not just their star player.

986
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:42.519
Well, and I love it because the first thing he

987
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.000
does is he essentially takes away a physical basketball from

988
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.079
the team because he wants them to work on their teamwork.

989
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:49.800
He wants them to get comfortable with the ball. So

990
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:51.079
they have a air ball.

991
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:53.880
Yeah, that way they have to pass it, have to

992
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:56.719
pay attention to each other. Yeah, because you're not catching

993
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:59.719
a literal ball. Yeah. So it's a pretty clever way

994
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:02.760
to point out that you know that their star player

995
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:05.239
especially is just not interested in his teammates. Yeah.

996
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.039
Well, and I love it too because Larry, who is

997
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:09.920
the star player of the team, he does not go

998
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:12.360
for this at first, like he or actually really at all.

999
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:14.039
No, he's livid. He hates it.

1000
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.159
He hates it, and even his father hates it. So

1001
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:18.760
this leads them to the next game where they're playing

1002
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:21.840
and Larry does something some showmanship stuff. He doesn't pass

1003
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:24.679
the ball, so Cheney pulls him out, and Larry's father

1004
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:26.639
gets pissed, and he's just like, all right, well fine,

1005
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:28.960
then I'm taking my son and we're going to another team.

1006
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:32.880
By Yeah, they just get up and leave the game entirely. Yeah.

1007
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.599
So then by this point, Buddy kind of becomes the

1008
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:38.159
mascot of the school's basketball team. He also appears in

1009
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:41.280
halftime shows, which is what unfortunately gets him back in

1010
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:43.000
front of Norm's eyes.

1011
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:47.159
Yes, Buddy becomes very popular because he shoots hoops during

1012
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:52.039
the halftime show. Which is uh, yeah, it becomes I mean, obviously,

1013
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:54.719
especially in a small town, it would become a massive story.

1014
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:55.440
It makes sense.

1015
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.519
So they end up the Timberwolves lose one game, but

1016
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.639
they do end up qualifying for the Star eight Finals.

1017
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:03.760
But again, while I mentioned, Norm has now seen that

1018
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:06.119
Buddy is a star and he's like, hey, that's my dog.

1019
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:07.199
I'm gonna come back for it.

1020
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:07.800
Yeah.

1021
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:11.079
Yeah, he's uh, he's quite the chooch. Yeah.

1022
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:13.840
So they're getting ready for the championship game and Norm

1023
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.719
goes to Buddy's house and after seeing him on on television,

1024
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:20.440
and he tries to reason with Jackie that that is

1025
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.960
his dog because he has the papers, he has everything

1026
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:26.639
to prove it. And unfortunately his mom can't fight him.

1027
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:27.719
I mean, he's got the papers, that.

1028
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:30.320
His evidence, and they knew that the dog had to

1029
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:33.000
have had an owner, especially if it was trained. Yeah.

1030
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:36.199
So yeah, so she hands him over and we get

1031
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.960
the heartbreaking, you know, taking the dog away from the

1032
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:41.320
kids scene, which was so popular in the nineties.

1033
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.360
Well, and also, I mean Norm does not hide at

1034
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.639
all in front of this kid that he's that he's abusive.

1035
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:47.599
I mean, he's already showing Buddy a newspaper when he

1036
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:48.360
puts him in the car.

1037
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:51.239
Oh yeah, yeah, no, he has no reason to to

1038
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.840
hide anything. He's a he's a real sack of shit. Yeah.

1039
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:58.280
So Josh obviously gets depressed. He goes to the court

1040
00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:01.440
and he just finds himself just being extremely sad, of course,

1041
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:03.719
with Buddy missing, so he decides that he is going

1042
00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:06.639
to try and get Buddy back, yeah, and he sneaks

1043
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:09.599
over into Norm's house. Norm is on the phone talking

1044
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:11.519
with a new gig, and I love the scene because

1045
00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:13.840
he's he's talking about, you know, the popularity of him

1046
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.239
and Buddy, and also that all these gigs and everything

1047
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:18.239
over a mountain of beer cans.

1048
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:21.679
He's literally, look, I don't want my dog to promote beer. Yeah,

1049
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:23.480
I mean, and then he's like, you know, we have

1050
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.079
an image. And then he's like, but how much money

1051
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:27.719
would it? What are we talking? And then he's like, oh,

1052
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:29.760
well that's a lot of money. Yeah. So I love

1053
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:31.440
that though it's over a mountain of beer cans.

1054
00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:33.199
Yeah no, it totally is. So yeah, a mount of

1055
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:35.679
beer cans in the windows. So Josh sneaks up. At first,

1056
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:37.519
he tries to get Buddy to come with them via

1057
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:40.039
pudding cups, but Buddy, unfortunately, he's chained up in the backyard,

1058
00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:42.360
so Josh realizes that he has to sneak in. He

1059
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:46.000
gets Buddy unchained, but Norm catches him right away, chases

1060
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:48.239
him out, gets into his truck and is going after them,

1061
00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:51.360
except Norm completely loses control of his truck as he's

1062
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:51.719
hanging out.

1063
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:55.519
His truck is falling hard as he as he goes,

1064
00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:57.360
he goes open, the door of the door falls off.

1065
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.239
Door falls off. Yeah, the whole thing is just falling apart.

1066
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.239
And he ends up smashing through the fern wheeled washing

1067
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:05.519
Fernfield Washington sign as right before he heads into a lake.

1068
00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:08.119
So the truck is now completely plummeted into the lake.

1069
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:10.920
Yeah, what was left of it was larring will came off.

1070
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:13.119
Everything was just flying off of that thing. The brakes

1071
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:13.960
came off. Yeah.

1072
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:18.039
So Josh realizing that he can't keep Buddy, he realizes

1073
00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:19.559
that he has to he has to set him free,

1074
00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:21.039
at least he can't keep the dogs.

1075
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:23.679
So he's afraid that if he keeps Buddy, that guy'll

1076
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:25.840
just keep coming and taking him, and he doesn't want

1077
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:28.679
him to get hurt. No, so he he pulls a

1078
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.800
Harry and the Hendersons tries to make Buddy leave him

1079
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.360
and go live somewhere else. He takes him across the

1080
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:36.079
island or whatever, gives him.

1081
00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:38.199
A pudding cup and tries to get him to go

1082
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:40.239
away and throwing at one point, well.

1083
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.599
That's the thing is he throws the ball knowing Buddy

1084
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:44.760
he'll chase it. But that's the ball as dad gave him,

1085
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:48.400
which is really, you know, a major emotional cornerstone because

1086
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:50.360
we see there's a photo of him and his dad

1087
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:53.559
playing with that basketball. So him throwing it to let Buddy,

1088
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:57.559
you know, chase after it is is pretty intense emotionally.

1089
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.480
Yeah, So he decides, Buddy, and that is when we

1090
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:04.679
get into the championship game with the tender Wolves at

1091
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:08.400
Timberwolves and it's not going well. There is an injury

1092
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.039
on the team. They're down some points, and honestly, the

1093
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:13.719
injury ends up leaving them with only four players to play.

1094
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:18.199
But but luckily.

1095
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:20.960
But luckily, somehow Buddy finds his way to the school,

1096
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:23.440
runs onto the court with his mom leading him, if

1097
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:27.119
I remember correctly, and now we are given the opportunity

1098
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:29.199
for Buddy to join the team because it turns out

1099
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:33.320
there is no rule preventing a dog from playing basketball.

1100
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:35.000
Which did you check if that's true?

1101
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:39.000
There is no rule technically, but there's stipulations that would

1102
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:45.199
disqualify him. Unfortunately, Oh what what racial I see somebody?

1103
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:47.760
So somebody did an entire Reddit post about it, and

1104
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:50.800
literally people apparently were like not into the the fact

1105
00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:52.199
of like airbud because they were just like, what the

1106
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.239
fuck question is this? This is really stupid?

1107
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.920
Well, I mean, so is throwing a ball into a

1108
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:01.320
basket and everybody cheering. But yeah, I mean it's impressive

1109
00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:03.039
when you're a dog. He doesn't have any thumbs.

1110
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.920
So Buddy is added to the roster of the team.

1111
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:10.599
And that is when the other coaches are just kind

1112
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:12.679
of befunneled at this, and they're also just like this

1113
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.000
is you can't allow us and love it because Cheney's like,

1114
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.800
what's the matter, guys afraid to lose in basketball.

1115
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.280
To a bowl to a dog? Well?

1116
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:21.920
I mean maybe, I mean we and we also get

1117
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.039
the classic does he dribble? No?

1118
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:26.199
But he might drool a little bit. Yeah, that was

1119
00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:26.840
the trailer.

1120
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:28.920
That was the trailer line that and there's no rule

1121
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:30.400
that the dog can't play basketball?

1122
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.599
Well, that became legendary. Yeah.

1123
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.239
So, long story short, Buddy ends up leading the team

1124
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:35.800
to victory.

1125
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:36.800
They end up winning.

1126
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.880
Buddy again is a hero for this, but unfortunately Norm

1127
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.239
shows up at the end of the game ready to

1128
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:44.199
get the dog back again.

1129
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:47.800
Of course, this time he reveals his papers, which are ruined,

1130
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:49.280
ruined entirely. Yeses.

1131
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:52.559
So this leads them into the finale of the movie,

1132
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:54.039
which is a court case.

1133
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:56.119
Yeah, I was not expecting that. Yes.

1134
00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:59.719
So Cheney suggests that Buddy chooses his owner, and that

1135
00:50:59.880 --> 00:51:04.039
is when we have Judge Cranfield is the judge of

1136
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:07.480
the town, and he accepts this proposal. Because but by

1137
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:09.480
the time we get we get into the courtroom, it's

1138
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:12.599
very funny because Norm shows up in complete clown outfit

1139
00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:15.159
because he wants to show like what his profession is well, and.

1140
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.159
To pay off the joke where the judge finds out

1141
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:19.719
the details of the case and says, I want to

1142
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:22.599
have my courtroom turned into a circus, and then clown

1143
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:23.079
walks in.

1144
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:25.119
Yeah, because there's a whole joke too, because the dog

1145
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:26.840
keeps barking and he's just like what what what did

1146
00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:27.280
he say?

1147
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:32.559
Yeah? I keep saying speak speak. Yeah. The dog keeps

1148
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:35.000
barking at the gavel. No, it's it's a pretty solid

1149
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:38.000
like vaudeville gag. I like to think that the clown

1150
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:40.519
guy just didn't have any other clothes clean that day,

1151
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:42.599
and probably he just forgot and he was like, well,

1152
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:44.280
it look like a crazy person if I wear all

1153
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:45.719
these clown clothes without makeup.

1154
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:50.880
So they move the court outside and that is when

1155
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:52.760
Josh is at one side and Norman is at the other.

1156
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:55.079
Well, they decided the judge decide. Well, the judge is

1157
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:59.079
convinced that since Buddy is three years old, yeah and

1158
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:03.280
thereby in a alt and human years, that he should

1159
00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:06.880
just choose his owner, which is which I do like.

1160
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.400
But the part that threw me was this the whole

1161
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:12.360
like they tried to play it for like suspense, like

1162
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:14.760
Buddy pick like yeah, like why would we why would

1163
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:17.480
we even he goes and picks Nor Yeah, if he

1164
00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:20.440
just picked norm you know that, Like then I guess

1165
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:23.159
instead of the movie being that like you know, Friendship

1166
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:25.920
and and the and Joy conquer All, it would just

1167
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:29.239
be like dogs are dumb, would be the would be the.

1168
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:32.159
The credits are just Josh and his family balling, just.

1169
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:35.280
Just crying and and then like and then adopting another

1170
00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:37.760
dog and it bites him and you know.

1171
00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:40.519
Cuts to Arthur Chaney just shooting hoops of the court.

1172
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:41.760
Yeah, just alone.

1173
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:47.119
So yeah, so Buddy is placed between the middle of them,

1174
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:49.199
both of them called a buddy at the same time.

1175
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.639
We get a fake out, as Enrique said, because Buddy

1176
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:55.159
goes to Norm because he's holding a fucking newspaper and

1177
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:57.400
he thinks is he's threat threatened by it, and Buddy

1178
00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:59.800
barks at him, steals the newspaper, rips it up right

1179
00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:03.079
in a Norm and then runs back to Josh, cementing

1180
00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:04.719
that that is now Josh's.

1181
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:06.679
Dog, which was a solid gag. It really, I mean,

1182
00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:09.800
I mean that he rips up the newspaper, it's almost like, uh,

1183
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:14.880
you know, just completely destroying his his binds.

1184
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:18.039
Yeah, it absolutely is. So naturally, Norm starts freaking out.

1185
00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:20.639
He charges the family, but the judges like, have somebody

1186
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.719
take care of that clown. So Norm is arrested, taken

1187
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:25.480
away by the police. Well, well the bailiffs, bayliffs.

1188
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:28.840
Yeah, yeah, he's probably, he's probably, I mean, this small town,

1189
00:53:28.840 --> 00:53:30.199
they probably took him out back and beat the shit

1190
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:31.760
out of him and just left him in the puddle.

1191
00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:33.519
Was on your end, that's very possible. I mean, small

1192
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:35.119
town Washington in the nineties.

1193
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.159
I mean, could you imagine a clown being put in

1194
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:38.639
the jail cell? Would that go well for him?

1195
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:41.679
Uh? I? Well, in that town, I imagine the only

1196
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:45.559
other person would be like hipster otis the drunk for

1197
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:50.760
the Andy Griffith shows. Yeah, so you'd just be sitting

1198
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:56.039
there like really into beanie babies. But yeah, I don't know.

1199
00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:57.760
I don't know who would get held in contempt of

1200
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.800
court in that little town. Yeah, that's a good point.

1201
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:01.639
Oh yeah, everybody rejoices.

1202
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:05.280
Buddy is now with Josh and that is nineteen ninety

1203
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:08.719
seven's air Bud. It sure is, it sure is indeed,

1204
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:13.519
And naturally that is not where we stopped though, no

1205
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:15.960
it is not. But before we get there, would you

1206
00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:18.239
like to know some interesting things about the movie?

1207
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:22.719
I mean, sure, you don't even know Buddy's backstory, geez.

1208
00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:25.320
I mean, it wasn't in the IMDb trivia. So I

1209
00:54:25.320 --> 00:54:29.400
apologize you look up all the other actors. Bro I

1210
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:34.480
went so deep on this goddamn sequel hunt that I'm sorry.

1211
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:38.440
Were you talking to yourself there? Maybe that's fair?

1212
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:40.519
All right, So the budget was three million dollars.

1213
00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:44.719
Yeah, that's really pretty pretty spelt. Yeah, although Disney was

1214
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:48.039
still like hurting as far as family movies go, they

1215
00:54:48.039 --> 00:54:49.639
were still hurting a bit. I mean they were on

1216
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:51.840
the upswing, but they were still they were still having

1217
00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:52.400
a hard time.

1218
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:56.639
Because the slump in Disney was basically eighty seven to

1219
00:54:56.800 --> 00:55:00.000
ninety four in that neighborhoo.

1220
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.800
And then when they started having the cartoons for their

1221
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:05.039
big thing, but then they had these little moments like

1222
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:08.480
air but Er Mighty Ducks that really brought them back

1223
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:09.559
to prominence fully.

1224
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:11.719
Yeah, because I Betman Out the House probably wasn't a

1225
00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:13.280
big hit, or maybe it was.

1226
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:15.199
I don't I don't know. That's when I want to readsit.

1227
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:16.559
I haven't seen that forever. I don't know if I've

1228
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:17.239
ever seen that one.

1229
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:19.920
Chivy Chase and Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

1230
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:20.840
Oh oh yeah, I've seen that.

1231
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:21.079
Yeah.

1232
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.320
Yeah. I played at HBO modest hit twenty two million

1233
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:27.559
dollar budget, forty million dollar box. Not bad, it did okay,

1234
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:30.599
But uh was that Disney though? And it was yeah,

1235
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:33.639
that was that was Disney because Touchstone was there was

1236
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:35.400
their bread and pictures.

1237
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:38.199
Yeah, so budget of three million dollars. Opening weekend takes

1238
00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:41.039
in basically about five million. It's four million, four million,

1239
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:43.519
eight hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars Wow. Which was

1240
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:46.599
August third of nineteen ninety seven, grossing in US and

1241
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:51.119
Canada twenty three million dollars grossing worldwide twenty eight million dollars.

1242
00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:53.679
That's a pretty pretty big hit for a three million

1243
00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:54.360
dollar movie.

1244
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:57.320
Shooting started October twenty ninth of nineteen ninety six and

1245
00:55:57.440 --> 00:55:59.760
went through December first of ninety six. It was shot

1246
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:04.039
in Vancouver, Port Moody, Rocky Point Park, British Columbia, Canada.

1247
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:06.880
Okay, you meant that was all one place?

1248
00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:10.800
That was all one place? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah uh.

1249
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:13.960
Finished filming in less than a month. Despite receiving top billing,

1250
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:16.559
Michael Jeter has less than twenty minutes of screen time.

1251
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:18.599
Damn surprised he got top billing.

1252
00:56:19.159 --> 00:56:22.360
Norm Shivley's phone number is five five five seven eight

1253
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.000
three three. On his business card, it appears as five

1254
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:29.199
five five rough are u ff because seven eight three.

1255
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:32.119
Three oh man seven eight three and three mm hm

1256
00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:34.880
h I got you.

1257
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:37.239
The movie is set in Washington State, but a lot

1258
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.559
of cars have British Columbia license plates on them.

1259
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:41.519
Well, you know, back then you did even need a

1260
00:56:41.559 --> 00:56:43.039
passport to drive across the border.

1261
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:46.079
So I suppose the dog who plays Buddy also played

1262
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:49.719
comet in Full House. Bill Cobbs previously appeared in Fluke

1263
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:52.000
nineteen eighty five, which featured the same dog, Buddy as

1264
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.159
the lead role. In principal Pepper calls Buddy air Bud

1265
00:56:55.239 --> 00:56:58.320
during Buddy's introduction to the school's first time in the franchise.

1266
00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:02.400
He has referred to that by his real name. Huh. Miramax,

1267
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:05.280
then owned by Disney, initially picked up distribution rights for

1268
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.159
the first film and any sequel that production company Keystone

1269
00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:11.960
Entertainment would produce. Airbud ultimately ended up being released under

1270
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.840
regular regular Disney branding. When Golden Receiver hit theaters, it

1271
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:18.519
moved over to Mirramax's Dimension Film's label, only to go

1272
00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:21.199
back to Disney Banner for its home video release. This

1273
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:24.440
back and forth continued until Airbuddy spinoffs, at which point

1274
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:27.000
the series became a regular Disney property, keeping it out

1275
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:28.039
of Miramax's reach.

1276
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:34.440
Wait, so they were like Airbud two Golden Receiver. That's

1277
00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:38.719
that's the Dimension, not just Miramax. It's gotta be Dimension. Yeah,

1278
00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:42.800
that is a bizarre choice to release that Dimension was

1279
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:46.800
like the genre label of Mirramax. Yeah. No, it was.

1280
00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:49.239
Out of the five Airbud films, this is the only

1281
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:51.800
film in the series to be rated PG. The original

1282
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:55.159
VHS release was mislabeled with a PG thirteen rating from

1283
00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:56.000
the MPAA.

1284
00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:59.719
Oh that's a printing mess up. Yeah, I would say so.

1285
00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:03.800
The film boosted the popularity of the already pretty popular

1286
00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:07.239
Golden retriever Breed to New Heights. Buddy unfortunately passed from

1287
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:10.079
cancer in nineteen ninety eight, a year after filming this movie.

1288
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:13.559
The movie has now spawned twelve sequels and a production company,

1289
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:16.599
Airbud Entertainment. And before I get into those sequels, we

1290
00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:21.079
do have a very timed, perfectly timed announcement. On July

1291
00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:24.760
twenty fourth, sources confirmed via Airbud Entertainment and Cineverse that

1292
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:28.360
a metasequel would release in twenty twenty six called Airbud Returns.

1293
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.199
Twelve year old Jacob has always dreamt of being a

1294
00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:34.480
basketball star player. An official description says after the passing

1295
00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:37.599
of his father that dream felt even more possible impossible,

1296
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:40.119
But everything changes when he and his mom move into

1297
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:43.679
his dad's childhood home in Fernfield. There, Jacob discovers an

1298
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:46.719
original VHS of the Airbud movie in his father's belongings

1299
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:49.239
and has a chance meeting of a stray golden retriever

1300
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.400
he names Buddy. Together, they embark on a journey of healing,

1301
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.639
united team of misfits and chase a championship. Through it all,

1302
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:57.760
they learned to play from the heart, believe in each other,

1303
00:58:57.800 --> 00:59:00.639
and always take the shot. A search is current underway

1304
00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:01.800
to cast the new Buddy.

1305
00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:07.599
Oh wow, that's interesting. Yeah, I feel that.

1306
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:11.039
So, as I said, we are going to just briefly

1307
00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:13.960
go through these these all these fucking sequels that I

1308
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:16.519
ended up watching. So we go into Airbud Golden Receiver,

1309
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:18.639
which was ninety eight. Josh is now an eighth grader.

1310
00:59:18.840 --> 00:59:21.000
He tries out for the football team, only to discover

1311
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:22.840
that Buddy can also play football.

1312
00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:26.239
Which one is this? That Airbud Golden Receiver. Yeah, okay,

1313
00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:28.239
I didn't realize he went straight to I mean, I

1314
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.880
know it was a different dog. Yeah, I didn't realize

1315
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:32.519
they went straight to another sport immediately.

1316
00:59:32.559 --> 00:59:34.920
Oh yeah, oh yeah, So Airbud Golden receiver. Yeah, he

1317
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:37.559
can play football now. An evil duo of Russian circus

1318
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.840
managers kidnaped Buddy, but a chimpanzee that is also kept

1319
00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:43.119
by the circus performers releases Buddy and he makes it

1320
00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.840
to the game with the help of veterinarian Patrick, who

1321
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:48.519
is dating Josh's mom in this movie, and Josh actually

1322
00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:52.519
tries to like investigate him at one point, like trying

1323
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:54.119
to make sure that his mom is not getting swindled

1324
00:59:54.159 --> 00:59:54.800
by this guy.

1325
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.760
Right right, Well, it makes sense that they would know

1326
00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:59.599
of that, yause they've got Airbud to take care of.

1327
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.199
And Buddy ends up getting injured in the big game

1328
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:04.599
that Patrick returns him to, but Josh and his team

1329
01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:06.840
end up taking home the championship without the help of

1330
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:09.480
Airbud for the final, but he did help in the beginning.

1331
01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:11.719
Well yeah, well that's I mean the first Airbud movie.

1332
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:14.679
I mean the kid makes the final shot. Yeah, it's

1333
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:17.920
more that Airbud is like builds his confidence.

1334
01:00:18.079 --> 01:00:20.880
I think what's crazy, though, is so the coach is

1335
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:25.719
the guy in ah shit, Die Hard to Merry Christmas.

1336
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:27.719
Oh yeah, yeah, I can't think of what his name is.

1337
01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:28.480
Give me a second one.

1338
01:00:28.360 --> 01:00:29.199
Of those character actors.

1339
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:33.400
Yeah, but he is legitimately see where is Robert Costanzo.

1340
01:00:33.719 --> 01:00:35.679
Okay, he's legitimately.

1341
01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:36.880
Eating in every scene he's in in that movie.

1342
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:41.400
Good for him, food's free. I mean that's fair.

1343
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:44.840
But yeah, that is Airbud Golden Receiver in ninety eight.

1344
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:48.239
Then in two thousand we got Airbud World Pup, which

1345
01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:51.320
is Jackie and Patrick. So that is now Josh's family.

1346
01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:52.119
They have married.

1347
01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:55.239
Josh meets a young girl, Emma, who has moved to

1348
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:58.079
Fernfield from England, who plays on the soccer team with him,

1349
01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.039
but also has a Golden Retriever named.

1350
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:01.719
Josh.

1351
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:05.400
Then discovers that Buddy can play soccer and convinces his

1352
01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:08.159
coach to let him join the Timberwolves. So Buddy gets

1353
01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:09.119
to join the soccer team.

1354
01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:12.119
It says the same name as the base basketball team.

1355
01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:14.719
Yeah, every single team they play for in the air

1356
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:16.000
Bud movies are Timberwolves.

1357
01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:17.960
Oh okay.

1358
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:22.559
So this then leads a rival team that convinces the

1359
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:25.519
soccer committee to ban the Timberwolves because of Buddy playing.

1360
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:27.719
Either they have to kick kick the Dog off of

1361
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:29.639
the team or they have to start their own team.

1362
01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:32.079
So that is what's going to happen, so the rival

1363
01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:34.639
team convinces the Soccer committee to do that. Buddy is

1364
01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:38.079
now also the father as Molly gives birth to six puppies.

1365
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:40.000
Ah, here we go.

1366
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:43.280
So not only can the dog play basketball, football, and

1367
01:01:43.280 --> 01:01:45.400
now soccer, it also fucks.

1368
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:47.880
I mean that checks out. Yeah, I mean that's how

1369
01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:49.480
pro athletes are. I mean that's fair.

1370
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:53.039
So the committee has a change of heart because one

1371
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:55.440
of the star players on the opposing team basically goes

1372
01:01:55.480 --> 01:01:57.679
to their father and is just like WTF, Like why

1373
01:01:57.719 --> 01:01:59.800
did you kick the Timberwolves off? Like why are you

1374
01:01:59.880 --> 01:02:02.559
so afraid of this dog playing us? So the committee

1375
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:06.119
decides to overturn that their decision. But also while this happens,

1376
01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:09.079
there's also people that kidnap the puppies because they're wanted

1377
01:02:09.079 --> 01:02:13.400
for experiments because they are all athletically you know, gifted

1378
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:18.840
gifted basically, which is done by an insider that works

1379
01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:21.480
as a butler inside Emma's home, but eventually he gets

1380
01:02:21.719 --> 01:02:23.800
worked over and gives them the information is where to

1381
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:26.360
find the puppies. The Timberwolves then win the championship, and

1382
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:29.679
Buddy also helps the US women's national soccer team win

1383
01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:32.320
the FIFA Women's World Cup against Norway.

1384
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:35.400
At the end, well, that escalated quickly, yes.

1385
01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:39.000
Which then leads us into Air Bud's seventh inning fetch.

1386
01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:41.800
In two thousand and two, Josh is leaving for college,

1387
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:44.639
but Buddy stays behind. Jackie and Patrick now have a

1388
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:48.159
baby of their own, Noah, and Josh's sister Andrea plays baseball,

1389
01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:51.000
which she discovers Buddy can also play.

1390
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:55.280
Does he actually use a bat? He does? Is? I'm

1391
01:02:55.320 --> 01:03:02.599
assuming it's special effects? I yes, that's just my it's

1392
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:04.119
gotta be, I thought. Yeah.

1393
01:03:04.119 --> 01:03:06.480
Also, there's an evil scientist that is now kidnapping the

1394
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:09.800
puppies again because they are wanting to get their athletic

1395
01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:12.119
ability and whatnot, with the help of Rocky Raccoon. So

1396
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:14.639
there is a raccoon that tricks the dogs into following

1397
01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:17.199
them as they're caught by the dog knapper. Buddy then

1398
01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:19.920
wins Rocky over and they locate the missing dogs, helping

1399
01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:22.760
Andrea win the championship, which Josh surprises the family and

1400
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:24.519
shows up at. This is the last movie that Kevin

1401
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:28.000
Zeggers appears in. Okay, yeah, then that takes us into

1402
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:29.639
Air Bud spikes back in two thousand and three.

1403
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:34.320
Oh god, so that's volleyball. That is volleyball.

1404
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:38.360
So Andrea has her best friend Tanny unfortunately moved to California,

1405
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:40.639
so she is left without her best friend and that

1406
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:43.679
feels her leaves her feeling really sad. Obviously, of course,

1407
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:45.480
so she decides that she wants to raise money to

1408
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:48.320
go and see Andrea in California, even mine they're in Washington,

1409
01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:49.960
so it's gonna be a hell of a flight.

1410
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:52.000
Oh yeah, yeah.

1411
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:55.440
So by that point, then she decides that she's going

1412
01:03:55.480 --> 01:03:57.880
to go ahead and open up a pet sitting service,

1413
01:03:58.000 --> 01:03:59.960
and it actually goes really well. She starts making money.

1414
01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:01.760
She's got a lot of dogs she's walking on one

1415
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:03.880
point keeps them all in the backyard, except one day

1416
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:06.400
the little brother accidentally leaves the gate open and all

1417
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:09.039
the dogs get out. They go into the town's local

1418
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:11.800
flea market and wreak havoc. So then Andrea has to

1419
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:15.280
give back all the money that she's made on her

1420
01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:16.079
trip so far.

1421
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:18.000
Of course, But luckily, there's.

1422
01:04:17.880 --> 01:04:20.320
A new kid in town, Connor, who is a volleyball

1423
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:22.360
player for the local team, and he tells her that

1424
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:24.440
if she joins his team, because they need one more

1425
01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:27.119
player to compete in the championship. If they win the championship,

1426
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:28.719
it's going to take place in California.

1427
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:29.239
Whoa.

1428
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:30.519
Yeah.

1429
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:32.639
So then with the help of Buddy, who suddenly can

1430
01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:34.360
play volleyball, they do end up winning.

1431
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.760
I mean suddenly, he just suddenly. Oh, volleyball feels like

1432
01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:39.159
not as big of a story reveals.

1433
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:42.400
The reveal in spikes back of Buddy playing volleyball is

1434
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:44.440
Connor is on the other side of the fence because

1435
01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:46.280
he's the next door neighbor and he just accidentally hits

1436
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:48.559
the ball over and then Buddy hits it back, So

1437
01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:50.800
then Connor hits it back again, Buddy hits it back.

1438
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:52.519
He thinks it's the little brother next door, is what

1439
01:04:52.639 --> 01:04:55.119
Andrew ends up telling him because that's who it is.

1440
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:57.519
But yeah, Buddy ends up taking a spot on the team,

1441
01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:59.639
and yeah, they win the championship and she gets a

1442
01:04:59.719 --> 01:05:02.360
visit her friend fair enough. So that was the final

1443
01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:05.039
of the air Bud samples at least. So then this

1444
01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:06.920
leads us into Air Buddies in two.

1445
01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:07.800
Thousand and six.

1446
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:12.280
All right, are you ready, because I I this is

1447
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:18.480
a lot sure, So Air Buddies introduces us to the

1448
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:20.679
five children of air Bud. Even though there was six

1449
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:24.280
puppies in World Cup. Don't ask me how, but we

1450
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:27.639
have Rosebud, who is the lone girl, the only sister

1451
01:05:27.679 --> 01:05:30.159
of the youngest buddies. And we also have Butterball, who

1452
01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:33.000
is the chubbiest, biggest and oldest of the buddies. We

1453
01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:35.159
have mud Bud, who is the dirt loving dude of

1454
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:38.400
the buddies. Be Dog, the rapping pup of the buddies.

1455
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:40.480
And yes he does rap in multiple movies.

1456
01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:41.239
Because they talk.

1457
01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:43.599
Yeah, oh yeah, and Buddy talks now too, by the way,

1458
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:45.519
Oh okay, yeah, Buddy and Molly both talked now, and

1459
01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:48.119
now all the buddies talk. And Buddha, who is the

1460
01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:52.960
peaceful Buddhist of the buddies. So that is Rosebud, Butterball,

1461
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:59.119
Mud Bud, be Dog, and Buddha. Okay, So this leads

1462
01:05:59.199 --> 01:06:01.639
us into we meet Air budd in Molly's five Puppies.

1463
01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:04.599
They are still in Fernfield. The puppies get into trouble

1464
01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:07.840
because they are left alone while the family fran family

1465
01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:09.800
goes out and does their sporting events. So the buddies

1466
01:06:09.880 --> 01:06:13.719
end up causing havoc. They end up tying their housekeeper,

1467
01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:18.079
missus Niggles, to a chair okay and causing havoc. So

1468
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:19.920
then they decide to put the buddies up for adoption

1469
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:21.320
because they're just too much to handle.

1470
01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:23.960
So all the buddies go up for adoption. Well, I mean,

1471
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:25.559
that's a lot of dogs. It's a lot of dogs.

1472
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:28.920
Meanwhile, this is happening though, a rich kid wants to

1473
01:06:29.159 --> 01:06:32.039
have Airbud so he can play basketball with them, and

1474
01:06:32.079 --> 01:06:35.400
he goes to his father who offers this crazy guy

1475
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:38.280
who is the father in Donnie Darko, five hundred thousand

1476
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:40.559
dollars to kidnap Airbud so that his son can have

1477
01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:44.280
an awesome birthday gift. So he sends out two inept

1478
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:46.400
guys to go ahead and capture these and they end

1479
01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:49.119
up getting they end up deciding The pups end up

1480
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:51.199
deciding to run away because they don't want to be adopted.

1481
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:53.559
So this leads Buddy and Molly to go after them.

1482
01:06:54.199 --> 01:06:56.280
Because the puppies are then caught by the dog nappers,

1483
01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:58.280
but they use them as bait to catch Molly and Buddy,

1484
01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:00.400
which they do, so then the buddies go have to

1485
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.880
rescue their parents, which leads them into this whole chase

1486
01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:06.119
of going after them leads them to a farm at

1487
01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:08.519
one point. At one point, there's also where the buddies

1488
01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:11.760
are trapped on a trapped at a drive in and

1489
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:13.840
the two people come at them, and then these bikers

1490
01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.079
come and beat the other two guys up because they're

1491
01:07:16.119 --> 01:07:17.119
going after the puppies.

1492
01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:18.920
I mean bikers like dogs.

1493
01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:23.119
Also, Michael Clark Duncan plays a giant dog named Wolf.

1494
01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:25.840
Who teaches me I'm assuming he's the voice. Yes, they

1495
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:29.800
didn't just put him in a suit of okay, just

1496
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:30.360
making sure.

1497
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:32.639
But he leads them to a farm of safety, where

1498
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.679
they also meet a goat voice by Wallace Seawan and

1499
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:38.760
a cow voiced by Debor Joe Rupp who is Kiddy

1500
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:42.199
in that seventy show. Yeah yeah, yeah, Long story short.

1501
01:07:42.239 --> 01:07:44.360
They end up saving their parents and they are introduced

1502
01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:45.880
to their new family. So they do end up getting

1503
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:47.960
adopted by the kids. So that's the first Air Buddies

1504
01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:50.960
moving Snow Buddies. In two thousand and eight, the buddies

1505
01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:53.599
playing hide and seek in a park end up hiding

1506
01:07:53.639 --> 01:07:55.159
in an ice cream truck and end up in.

1507
01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:59.360
Alaska, I mean, why not, right? Why not?

1508
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:02.679
So they meet an Alaskan husky puppy named Shasta and

1509
01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:05.400
he is trying to help his eleven year old owner Adam,

1510
01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:08.039
win a dog sled race that his father lost a

1511
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:10.800
year prior when he tragically died because the ice broke

1512
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:12.320
underneath him while they were dog racing.

1513
01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:17.079
That's uh, this is a heavy one. Yeah, yeah, that

1514
01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:19.239
sounds a bit heavy. No, this is a really heavy one.

1515
01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:22.520
So with the help of the legendary Alaskan Malmont Talon

1516
01:08:22.680 --> 01:08:24.760
voiced by Chris Christofferson.

1517
01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:25.840
I mean that checks out.

1518
01:08:25.920 --> 01:08:28.039
He gives the dogs courage and teaches them how to

1519
01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:30.720
be proper sled dogs. So they end up leading Adam

1520
01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:33.920
to victory, which he fights a evil French steward at

1521
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:36.640
one point. That is another rival racer.

1522
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:40.279
That's also sounds right. Yeah.

1523
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:44.439
And then also Muddy and Molly and Buddy are tipped

1524
01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:46.319
off by a cat that saw the dogs playing in

1525
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:47.760
the park before they got into the ice cream truck,

1526
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:50.359
leading them to Alaska. So the whole family goes to

1527
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:53.520
Alaska to get the pups. They're reunited, they win the race,

1528
01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:55.239
and then the very end of the movie is we

1529
01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:57.960
see Shasta and Adam now all both grown up, being

1530
01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:03.119
professional dog racers sleds. Oh yeah, okay, so that's snow Buddies. Okay,

1531
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:06.119
then we move into Space Buddies from two thousand and nine.

1532
01:09:06.079 --> 01:09:08.600
So ice cream truck, but they end up in space.

1533
01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:12.239
Buddha is owned by Sam who loves stargazing, and he

1534
01:09:12.319 --> 01:09:14.880
ends up having a field trip at Vision Enterprises, which

1535
01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:19.039
is apparently a local space shuttle, and they want to

1536
01:09:19.119 --> 01:09:21.399
watch the test launch of the new Vision one space crap.

1537
01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:23.680
So Buddha and the Buddies end up hiding on the

1538
01:09:23.680 --> 01:09:27.119
school bus so that they can go to the space station,

1539
01:09:27.199 --> 01:09:29.399
of course, and that is when they actually end up

1540
01:09:29.439 --> 01:09:31.760
getting on the shuttle that is being tested, and the

1541
01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:34.039
shuttle ends up launching off with all the Buddies on it.

1542
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:36.640
Now I'm gonna stop for a second because at this

1543
01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:39.800
point I was like, huh, this is already giving me

1544
01:09:39.920 --> 01:09:43.920
armageddon vies. And sure a ship they have to refuel

1545
01:09:43.960 --> 01:09:47.840
at a Russian space station where Ddrich Bator playing Yuri

1546
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:52.520
of course, has his dog Sputnick with him. Of course, yeah,

1547
01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:55.239
And one thing leads to another and Uri ends up

1548
01:09:55.239 --> 01:09:57.119
seeing the puppies. He thinks that he's going to have

1549
01:09:57.159 --> 01:09:58.800
company on the thing, but the puppies obviously have to

1550
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:00.560
get on the space ship and get back home, so

1551
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.199
Uri tries to stop them. This leads to him separating

1552
01:10:03.239 --> 01:10:06.159
the fuel line, so the Russian space station explodes as

1553
01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:11.000
Yuri and the space and the space Buddies escape.

1554
01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:12.479
So a lot of destruction.

1555
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.199
So they end up getting to the Moon, of course,

1556
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:18.199
and by this point the people back at the space station,

1557
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:20.960
which is the voice of Patrick Starr and Lochlin Monroe,

1558
01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:23.800
are the guys running it, and they end up seeing

1559
01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:26.359
that the puppies are on the Space Shuttle, so they

1560
01:10:26.399 --> 01:10:28.760
decide that the puppies obviously want to go back, but

1561
01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:30.880
they grab some space rocks they get back into the shuttle.

1562
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:33.520
They're trying to get the puppies back to Earth this point.

1563
01:10:33.880 --> 01:10:36.720
Also by this point information leaks that the puppies are

1564
01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:38.920
on the Space Shuttle and in space. So the kids

1565
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:41.239
come to the space station being like, WTF, where why

1566
01:10:41.319 --> 01:10:42.960
are our dogs get launched into space?

1567
01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:45.880
It would be a question worth asking, it would say, so,

1568
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:48.039
I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but I would probably

1569
01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:50.000
want to know. So they attempt to return to Earth.

1570
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:52.960
Unfortunately, they get sideswiped by a meteor which takes out

1571
01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:55.119
the antenna on their ship, so they have to have

1572
01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:57.520
some navigation stuff taken care of by a ferret that

1573
01:10:57.560 --> 01:10:59.520
also works at the space station, which guides them back

1574
01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:02.920
into Earth's Yuri also lands and he's fine as well,

1575
01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:04.920
so they end up returning to Earth safely and their

1576
01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:08.119
owners are happy. So that's Space Buddies aka Puppy Armageddon.

1577
01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:11.680
Okay, I wish it was actually called Puppy Armageddon me too.

1578
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:15.119
This leads us into my least favorite, which is Santa Buddies.

1579
01:11:15.800 --> 01:11:17.199
Wow, Dave hates Christmas.

1580
01:11:17.199 --> 01:11:19.359
Oh no, no, that's not true. See there's three Christmas movies

1581
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:21.920
in this lineup, and I liked the other two, especially

1582
01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:24.720
one of them. But this is Santa Buddy's and Santa

1583
01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:28.520
Claus and Santa Pause, which is Santa's dog, discover that

1584
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:31.680
nobody believes in Christmas anymore as the magic Christmas Icicle

1585
01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:34.920
is melting. So that is when we also meet Puppy Pause,

1586
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:36.960
the son of Santa Pause, and he is a bit

1587
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:39.800
of a troublemaker inside the toy shop at Christmas time,

1588
01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:42.199
and he ends up getting exiled from the toy shop

1589
01:11:42.199 --> 01:11:44.439
because he causes some issues. So he goes to look

1590
01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:47.399
at the magic icicle and basically says that he wishes

1591
01:11:47.439 --> 01:11:51.079
that Christmas would disappear, and that is when he also

1592
01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:53.520
notices the naughty list. He sees Butterball is on the

1593
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:57.439
list because Butterball ate the entire Thanksgiving Turkey along with

1594
01:11:57.520 --> 01:11:59.319
the other dogs that have done some mischief stuff. So

1595
01:11:59.319 --> 01:12:02.079
he decides that he's going to go to Fernfield and

1596
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:03.800
meet these puppies because he wants to learn how to

1597
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:06.880
be a dog and not be Santa's helper. So this

1598
01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:09.840
leads us into him making a wish about, like I

1599
01:12:09.880 --> 01:12:12.239
said in regards to Christ, would disappear. This leads into

1600
01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:15.239
the icicle cracking, which takes out the North Pole's power entirely.

1601
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:19.199
The Reindeer gets sick, they can't make toys anymore. So yeah,

1602
01:12:19.199 --> 01:12:22.760
that's going on. Okay, So Puppy Pause they think that

1603
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:24.680
Puppy Pause is their father in disguise.

1604
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:25.199
The buddies do.

1605
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:27.399
They think that it's Airbud in disguise for them to behave,

1606
01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:30.319
so they start just being completely reckless, which also leads

1607
01:12:30.359 --> 01:12:33.279
into them at one point having a break dancing competition.

1608
01:12:32.880 --> 01:12:34.600
With Puppy Pause. Well what else would you do?

1609
01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:36.880
I mean again at that point, So the Buddies then

1610
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:39.520
continue to misbehave. They end up ejecting Puppy Pause from

1611
01:12:39.560 --> 01:12:41.680
their own home, which then he ends up getting kidnapped

1612
01:12:41.720 --> 01:12:44.039
by a dog napper played by the Great Christopher Lloyd

1613
01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:47.600
who is mister Grunge, and mister Grunge ends up kidnapping,

1614
01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:49.760
like I said, takes the dog and he is held

1615
01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:51.600
in the pound. At this point, the Buddies along with

1616
01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:54.279
an elf dog named Eddie who is voiced by He

1617
01:12:54.479 --> 01:12:57.600
was voiced by Richard Kind. They make their way to

1618
01:12:57.600 --> 01:12:59.600
the pound and one of the dogs ends up singing

1619
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:01.920
a song mister Crunge, who was Chrisopher Lloyd, about the

1620
01:13:01.960 --> 01:13:03.760
true meaning of Christmas and how he always wanted a

1621
01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:05.239
dog and this is not the way to be, so

1622
01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:08.039
they warm his heart over they start bringing Christmas here

1623
01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:10.520
to the entire town of Fernfield. Christmas is saved, and

1624
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:13.399
we all end up seeing silent Night and the heart

1625
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:15.000
of Fernfield around the Christmas tree at the end of

1626
01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:19.239
Santa Buddies Okay. Then this led us into a prequel

1627
01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:22.960
to Santa Buddy's The Search for Santa Pause in twenty

1628
01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:26.560
ten Okay, which is basically Santa's head Elf Eli brings

1629
01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:28.720
him a stuffed dog, and the stuff dog is brought

1630
01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:33.000
to life, which he calls Pause Pause then basically goes

1631
01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:36.600
into this town, which I believe is Fernfield. Again, there's

1632
01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:38.680
a little girl in an orphanage that is run by

1633
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:43.279
Wendy from The Goldberg's The Mom Oh okay, yeah, she

1634
01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:46.720
plays an evil orphanage owner. Of course, there's a whole

1635
01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:50.279
thing in regards to Santa and Pause going into the

1636
01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:52.800
town and there's a toy shop. There's a lot going

1637
01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:54.680
on here. But basically the main gist is that we

1638
01:13:54.720 --> 01:13:57.840
get the backstory of Santa Pause, which is really really

1639
01:13:57.880 --> 01:14:01.119
awesome in regards to how they execut through the human characters.

1640
01:14:01.439 --> 01:14:03.439
There's a lot to go into that I can't because

1641
01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:05.039
it's just it would be lengthy and I'd have to

1642
01:14:05.079 --> 01:14:06.760
read the entire Wikipedia almost.

1643
01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:09.079
Oh oh, you didn't write your own notes? Oh I did.

1644
01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:10.840
I did. I'm reading them right now.

1645
01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:14.560
Okay, But the search for Santa Pause is basically the

1646
01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:17.239
backstory of Santa Paus. We learn how Santa Paus came

1647
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:21.000
to be, which leads us into the next actual sequel,

1648
01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:25.439
into the Buddies franchise, which is Spooky Buddies Ah, which

1649
01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:27.479
is the one that was probably my favorite because it's

1650
01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:30.880
basically a giant ripoff of hocus Pocus, but with puppies.

1651
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:34.760
With puppies because we have Warwick. The warlock played by

1652
01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:38.920
Harlan Williams in nineteen thirty seven kidnaps five dogs to

1653
01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:42.239
sacrifice them so he can release the Halloween Hound, which

1654
01:14:42.279 --> 01:14:44.920
is this dog at its dark Yeah, that is this

1655
01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:47.920
giant black dog is that lives in this mirror until

1656
01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:51.520
it is actually summoned forward. He ends up sacrificing four

1657
01:14:51.600 --> 01:14:54.359
of No, he sacrifices the five of them. On the

1658
01:14:54.399 --> 01:14:56.439
fifth one, it turns into a ghost. Right does the

1659
01:14:56.439 --> 01:14:59.199
townspeople break into the mansion and stop him. So that's

1660
01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:02.039
nineteen thirty seven. Now we're back into current time. The

1661
01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:04.640
house has been boarded up and Pip, the ghost dog

1662
01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:07.600
is still around the mansion. So the puppies decide that

1663
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:09.600
they're going to go into the mansion on Halloween because

1664
01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:11.760
their owners are on a fern Field Halloween field trip.

1665
01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:15.039
Of course, one thing leads to another and Pip ends

1666
01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:17.600
up befriending them. But also one of the kids is

1667
01:15:17.640 --> 01:15:19.960
doing a report on the house and he ends up

1668
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:22.720
going into the police lock up evidence room, where they

1669
01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:25.479
just so happen to still have Warwick's staff. So the kid,

1670
01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:27.720
thinking that it's just a costume piece, takes the staff,

1671
01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:31.319
ends up resurrecting Warwick and now he is out to

1672
01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:34.279
completely complete this thing again and release the Halloween Hound,

1673
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:37.119
so he has to sacrifice more puppies aka the air

1674
01:15:37.159 --> 01:15:39.720
Buddies at this point of course. Yeah, so this then

1675
01:15:39.800 --> 01:15:42.119
leads into a lot of hocus pocus things ripped off.

1676
01:15:42.359 --> 01:15:44.800
We have a great scene where we go into the

1677
01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:47.720
town Halloween dance, which is then all the adults are

1678
01:15:47.720 --> 01:15:49.720
possessed by Warwick and go after the puppies.

1679
01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:51.800
Of course, there is a spell.

1680
01:15:51.560 --> 01:15:54.479
Book mix up at one point they defeat the Halloween

1681
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:58.479
Hound by one of the I think it's Mudbud farts

1682
01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:01.079
at him. Okay, defeats the Halloween houm.

1683
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:02.920
Well, I mean what else would.

1684
01:16:04.600 --> 01:16:06.439
Warwick catches up with the kid that has a staff,

1685
01:16:06.439 --> 01:16:08.439
He gets a staff back, he causes havoc on the town,

1686
01:16:08.479 --> 01:16:10.960
but the Buddies in up defeating him, and we also

1687
01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:14.600
find out that Pip is then reunited as well with

1688
01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:16.800
the Buddies and mister Johnson, which was his original owner

1689
01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:19.039
who was a kid in the nineteen thirty seven flashback.

1690
01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:22.000
So that is when the film ends with the kids

1691
01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:24.119
waving goodbye to mister Johnson as he drives off with

1692
01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:26.079
the caravan and the puppies to return them to their

1693
01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:28.720
owners because he brought the nineteen thirty seven puppies backs.

1694
01:16:28.760 --> 01:16:30.560
That's going to be really confusing to those owners.

1695
01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:34.560
Yeah, yeah, that would be.

1696
01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:38.319
So that's that's Spooky Buddies. That is the that's the

1697
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:40.720
highly recommended one of these. As we get into the

1698
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:44.159
last three, which is twenty twelve's Treasure Buddies, okay, which

1699
01:16:44.279 --> 01:16:48.720
is Fernfield is now having a museum that has historic

1700
01:16:49.119 --> 01:16:52.600
things to it about Cleakatra, which was this whole Cleopatra

1701
01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:54.520
spinoff thing that's actually a cat.

1702
01:16:54.479 --> 01:16:57.119
Well, I mean the Egyptians and cats. Yeah, yeah, it's

1703
01:16:57.119 --> 01:16:57.520
the whole thing.

1704
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:01.239
Richard Real plays the museum attendant, but he's also going

1705
01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:04.560
to be retiring, and he ends up getting brought onto

1706
01:17:04.680 --> 01:17:07.840
an excursion via Edward Hermann and his evil cat that

1707
01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:10.800
talks me to the Buddies. So the Buddies end up

1708
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:13.560
going along with the Grandfather and the and the Boy

1709
01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:16.039
into Egypt, and one thing leads to another. They end

1710
01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:19.520
up going to clear Cat's tomb, they find the lost Treasure,

1711
01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:22.880
one of the dogs, has a hypnotism contest with a snake.

1712
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:23.239
At one point.

1713
01:17:23.920 --> 01:17:26.880
Okay, yeah, and also there's a cursed necklace that turns

1714
01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:28.640
one of the buddies into a cat, but not a

1715
01:17:28.680 --> 01:17:31.399
complete cat, it's just like a cat dog. And at

1716
01:17:31.399 --> 01:17:33.319
one point the dog of the dog is like saying

1717
01:17:33.319 --> 01:17:35.159
me ow and like chasing mice inside of the tomb

1718
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:39.239
and everything. So this leads into them completely finding out

1719
01:17:39.319 --> 01:17:41.439
that Edward Herman's character is evil, so he ends up

1720
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:43.720
getting taken out by a camel and some other people

1721
01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:47.119
as well, in a hilarious Disney way. Of course, the

1722
01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:49.279
buddies find the treasure and it's returned to the museum

1723
01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:51.600
and the uncle gets to keep his job, and that's

1724
01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:52.319
Treasure Buddies.

1725
01:17:52.479 --> 01:17:53.279
Well there you go.

1726
01:17:53.760 --> 01:17:56.920
And then last the last two, we have a sequel

1727
01:17:57.079 --> 01:18:00.119
to the prequel of Santa Pause, which was Santa to

1728
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:03.640
Pause to the Santa Pups, which is that the Santa

1729
01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:06.199
paus children. The Santa Pups end up stealing a magic

1730
01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:08.319
crystal because they have powers of the magic crystal, which

1731
01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:10.000
is you know how we have the magic icicle and

1732
01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:13.359
Santa Pause, right, So they end deciding that they're grown

1733
01:18:13.479 --> 01:18:15.079
enough that they can take control of a crystal, so

1734
01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:17.760
they end up stealing one and going to Pineville, which

1735
01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:19.880
is one of the happiest Christmas towns in the world,

1736
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:22.880
and they start granting everybody's wishes for Christmas to make

1737
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:25.600
them happier, except these two kids that are struggling. One

1738
01:18:25.600 --> 01:18:27.640
of them just as I wish, everybody would forget about

1739
01:18:27.640 --> 01:18:29.760
the Christmas spirit. So now the whole town's apped of

1740
01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:30.439
Christmas spirit.

1741
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:34.079
That's always some one person who ruins it for everybody else.

1742
01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:36.479
So this leads into missus Claus having to come into

1743
01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:39.279
town and she's trying to save the Christmas spirit as well.

1744
01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:41.439
She ends up getting arrested at one point because she's

1745
01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:43.720
trying to help the pups out. Long story short, the

1746
01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:45.800
pups end up getting the magic back. They end up

1747
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:47.760
having somebody make a wish again, and the Christmas spirit

1748
01:18:47.800 --> 01:18:50.479
is brought back into the village and everybody lives happily

1749
01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:53.800
for after. Okay, And then we have my least favorite

1750
01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:57.720
and final which was Superbuddies from twenty thirteen oh Man

1751
01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:01.560
and Superbuddies is the story of the Buddies are now

1752
01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:04.680
living on a farm with one with one kid who

1753
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:08.920
is having his birthday. His grandfather played by the great Oh,

1754
01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:14.079
I just blanked on his name, Shit Ratzenburg, the guy

1755
01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:15.680
from Cheers. Is it Ratzenberg?

1756
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:20.159
I think, yeah, I don't know. Two seconds here, HANGHI yeah,

1757
01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:22.199
John Ratzenberg. Yeah, so yeah.

1758
01:19:22.199 --> 01:19:24.159
It's one year after the events of the previous film

1759
01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:26.960
and Bartleby and his dog Butterball are spending the summer

1760
01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.840
at the grandfather's farm. They end up having a really

1761
01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:32.119
cool birthday for the kid, and he's really into superheroes,

1762
01:19:32.119 --> 01:19:35.199
specifically this one that's Captain Canine and Kid Courageous, which

1763
01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:39.279
is a dog and his human superhero person. They also

1764
01:19:39.439 --> 01:19:41.640
have this whole thing with these Rings of Experion that

1765
01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:44.039
are collected and bring the power. But it turns out

1766
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:47.159
there's this evil alien named Drex that is looking for

1767
01:19:47.199 --> 01:19:49.000
these rings and ends up coming to Earth and taking

1768
01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:50.960
over a bunch of human bodies to try and find

1769
01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:53.079
these rings. The pups end up getting power from the

1770
01:19:53.159 --> 01:19:56.199
rings and all end up getting superpowers, so they end

1771
01:19:56.319 --> 01:19:58.600
up having this huge battle at the end in regards

1772
01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:00.600
to going against Dres, who is complete taken over the

1773
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:03.960
town taken over bodies. He steals a cop car as

1774
01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:06.159
a as a police officer at one point, leading to

1775
01:20:06.199 --> 01:20:09.600
a showdown on the farm where John Ratzenberger as Grandpa Man,

1776
01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:12.479
superhero costume and everything, fights against him as best as

1777
01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:14.800
he can along with the pups. And then it's also

1778
01:20:14.840 --> 01:20:17.479
revealed that Captain Canine turns out to be an alien

1779
01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:19.720
this entire time, along with his wife, that he's been

1780
01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:22.960
looking for most of the galaxy through. Okay, and that

1781
01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:27.680
is super Buddies from twenty thirteen, and that is all

1782
01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:30.279
of the Air Buddies sequels.

1783
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.479
Wow. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of them. It is.

1784
01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:36.359
They're twenty and a half hours of my life. I'm

1785
01:20:36.399 --> 01:20:37.239
never getting back.

1786
01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:38.520
Yep, that's gone forever.

1787
01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:42.239
So with that in mind, what are your final thoughts

1788
01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:43.239
on airbud.

1789
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:45.640
That's a stream it. I mean, it was a perfectly

1790
01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:47.119
fun movie. I think if you have a lot of

1791
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:51.239
nostalgia for it, it'll hit really really well. Yeah, it's

1792
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:54.000
you know, it's very like that Disney era. You got

1793
01:20:54.039 --> 01:20:57.319
like the the kid who like doesn't have a parent

1794
01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:02.720
and befriends thing unusual and learns to believe in himself.

1795
01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:06.000
So I mean it means well, and it had some

1796
01:21:06.199 --> 01:21:09.800
legitimately very funny scenes and the dog is just a buddy,

1797
01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:10.560
is just incredible.

1798
01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:13.079
Oh, absolutely to watch. Yeah, it's a streamer for me

1799
01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:15.720
as well. It's one of those movies that I think

1800
01:21:15.720 --> 01:21:17.520
it's very well known in the zeit guys, because there's

1801
01:21:17.520 --> 01:21:19.520
always the joke about dog can't play basketball and all

1802
01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:21.439
that stuff. So I mean people know about it. If

1803
01:21:21.479 --> 01:21:23.199
you haven't seen it in a while, it's absolutely worth

1804
01:21:23.199 --> 01:21:24.680
a watch. I think it's got a lot of heart

1805
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:27.239
to it. It's a lot of fun, and honestly, it's

1806
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:29.560
less than one hundred minutes, so you're pretty quick.

1807
01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:29.840
In and out.

1808
01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:32.119
And the great Michael Jeter, who, like I said, was

1809
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:34.479
taken so soon. He's fantastic in this even as the villain.

1810
01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:35.680
He's so good in this movie.

1811
01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:38.840
Yeah, he's very memorable. Lots of slapstick. Yeah.

1812
01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:40.279
So do we have any emails this week?

1813
01:21:40.479 --> 01:21:43.640
I think so. Oh, let's see what we got. We

1814
01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:46.920
got two? Okay, first ones from our buddy Mike Birdman

1815
01:21:47.239 --> 01:21:53.760
is a long one, Okay, all right. Subject Loved the

1816
01:21:53.800 --> 01:21:56.800
Blade Show. Hey, guys, been going through a lot these

1817
01:21:56.880 --> 01:21:59.119
last few weeks, and you two have really cheered me up.

1818
01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:02.520
Loved the latest Blade Show. Saw this at the drive

1819
01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:04.960
in many times when I was in high school. One

1820
01:22:05.039 --> 01:22:09.239
of the best video game memories, oddly enough, connects to blade.

1821
01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:14.319
Was playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow six Ravenshield and was playing

1822
01:22:14.359 --> 01:22:17.399
a multiplayer match. An entire team had their back to

1823
01:22:17.439 --> 01:22:19.680
me and were overlooking a portion of the map, and

1824
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.359
I'd snuck up on the stairs behind them, and I

1825
01:22:22.439 --> 01:22:25.600
knew my moment had come early days of Xbox Live

1826
01:22:25.720 --> 01:22:28.840
no Less. Switched on my mic at the appropriate time

1827
01:22:29.439 --> 01:22:32.279
and then in quotes says, catch you fuckers at a

1828
01:22:32.279 --> 01:22:35.239
bad time. I hear one kid go huh as he

1829
01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:38.640
turns around, unloaded a full machine gun into six guys

1830
01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:42.079
and team wipe. Not gonna lie. Felt pretty good, but

1831
01:22:42.399 --> 01:22:46.359
pretty beautiful moment. LOL. So you kept mentioning Mortal Kombat.

1832
01:22:46.640 --> 01:22:49.479
What about a video game movie month? But try ones

1833
01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:53.680
off the beaten path? So no Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, etc.

1834
01:22:54.399 --> 01:22:57.560
Here are some suggestions Mortal Kombat twenty twenty one. I

1835
01:22:57.560 --> 01:22:59.520
feel like that one is not off the beaten path.

1836
01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:01.239
It was a hit it, but I loved it. That's

1837
01:23:01.279 --> 01:23:04.880
great street Fighter too. The anime or street fighter legend

1838
01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:09.840
of Chun Lee Wing Commander Okay Doom from two thousand

1839
01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:14.720
and five, Need for Speedy Assassin's Creed I've never seen

1840
01:23:14.760 --> 01:23:19.039
that hit Man. There are two actually a forty seven

1841
01:23:19.079 --> 01:23:22.319
hit Man uncharted solid in theaters. Yeah, that was pretty fun.

1842
01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:25.840
Tekan, I've not seen it, but I've heard mixed things

1843
01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:26.079
on it.

1844
01:23:26.199 --> 01:23:30.000
I didn't know about Techan and border Lands, which I

1845
01:23:30.039 --> 01:23:34.520
feel like somebody's seen it somewhere, yes said not me. Yeah, Yeah,

1846
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:37.640
it kind of just came out and zoomed right by.

1847
01:23:37.840 --> 01:23:40.640
It was the weirdest thing. I'll admit that most of

1848
01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:44.119
these suck though, but could be fun. Random idea as well.

1849
01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:47.279
The cinematic salute to Ouve bowl and call it let's

1850
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:53.239
go Ouve Bowling, followed by bowling ball sound effects fair

1851
01:23:53.319 --> 01:23:57.079
fair love the show, keep up the amazing work. Mike Eshkwi,

1852
01:23:57.560 --> 01:23:58.319
thank you bird Man.

1853
01:23:58.319 --> 01:23:59.239
We always love hearing.

1854
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:01.640
From your brother. Yeah, some of those would be pretty fun.

1855
01:24:01.720 --> 01:24:04.279
Absolutely, I mean Uve Bowl. I would go ahead and

1856
01:24:04.279 --> 01:24:06.680
say right now to the Rampage, probably one of his

1857
01:24:06.840 --> 01:24:07.640
best movies.

1858
01:24:07.920 --> 01:24:09.199
Just hit Voodoo.

1859
01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:12.279
Yeah, Rampage is awesome. Dango, So that's the first on

1860
01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:13.399
h d's been available.

1861
01:24:13.399 --> 01:24:15.920
I think. Wasn't that based on the Rampage video game? Yes?

1862
01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:21.039
It was. Ah. This next one is from Jake subject

1863
01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:25.920
line some motherfuckers are always trying to movie uphill. Enrique

1864
01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:28.319
and David loved the Blade episode and was happy to

1865
01:24:28.359 --> 01:24:30.680
hear it since not going to Trauma Dump. But I

1866
01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:33.319
really needed it. I have a lot of nostalgia for

1867
01:24:33.399 --> 01:24:35.239
the movie and hearing you guys talk about it was

1868
01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:37.760
very fun. I love the character in the comics and

1869
01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.039
was introduced to him through the movie and the Spider

1870
01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:43.319
Man cartoon. Yeah. Same, yep. One of my favorite Wesley

1871
01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:46.399
Snipes movies is New Jack City, and I'm curious if

1872
01:24:46.399 --> 01:24:48.359
you guys would ever consider doing an episode on it

1873
01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:51.000
since I think it's a pretty enjoyable crime film. Yeah,

1874
01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:53.920
I would totally do. Not absolutely looking forward to the

1875
01:24:53.960 --> 01:24:56.680
next episode and your thoughts on weapons since I saw

1876
01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:59.880
it recently as well. Take care well you got that

1877
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:00.960
at the beginning of the show.

1878
01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:03.680
You did, yes, So yeah, New Jack City would definitely

1879
01:25:03.680 --> 01:25:05.680
be one. Uh like, just off the top of my head,

1880
01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:07.359
New Jack City, King of New York.

1881
01:25:08.640 --> 01:25:10.199
I would even do Meta Society.

1882
01:25:10.239 --> 01:25:11.880
I love mena society and I haven't seen that in

1883
01:25:11.920 --> 01:25:13.439
a while, so yeah, those would definitely be ones that

1884
01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:15.600
we would cover in the future, I would imagine. Yeah,

1885
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:18.079
those would all be really good, So We always like

1886
01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:20.119
to end the show with a couple of recommendations. My

1887
01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:22.560
first one this week is from nineteen ninety six, and

1888
01:25:22.600 --> 01:25:26.520
that is Shiloh, currently available on Prime, Peacock Plex, Pluto,

1889
01:25:26.720 --> 01:25:29.920
Roku two B and rentable on Prime and Voodoo. A

1890
01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:32.640
small town Southern boy named Marty Preston must rescue a

1891
01:25:32.640 --> 01:25:35.119
young beagle from his abusive owner, jud Travers, of course,

1892
01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:37.800
based on a very popular book, one that I watched

1893
01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:39.039
a lot when I was a kid. I've not seen

1894
01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:41.039
it in a bit curious how holds up? And then

1895
01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:44.159
my second one is gonna be twenty twenty three's Strays

1896
01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:47.520
currently on Stars, rentable on Prime and Fandango as well,

1897
01:25:47.720 --> 01:25:50.039
and abandon dog teams up with other strays to get

1898
01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:51.439
revenge on his former owner.

1899
01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:55.000
That was a surprisingly hilarious movie. Not kids movie, No,

1900
01:25:55.039 --> 01:25:58.720
it's not say that out loud. Yeah, very very surprised.

1901
01:25:58.720 --> 01:25:59.840
How much I like that one. That was a lot

1902
01:25:59.840 --> 01:26:03.920
of fun. My suggestion is my all time favorite dog

1903
01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:06.880
movie nineteen ninety two is Beethoven. Yes, I mentioned it earlier,

1904
01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:09.000
and by the way I looked at the box office,

1905
01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:12.560
Beethoven was like a ungodly hit. It was like one

1906
01:26:12.640 --> 01:26:16.159
hundred and forty something million. Yeah, I'll pull that up again.

1907
01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:18.920
It was a huge Hughes wrote it, yeah, but he

1908
01:26:18.960 --> 01:26:21.000
had his name taken off it because he'd left Universal

1909
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:21.960
Studios at that point.

1910
01:26:22.520 --> 01:26:24.800
No budget is listed, but one hundred and forty seven

1911
01:26:24.840 --> 01:26:28.399
point two million dollars. God damn. So it was a

1912
01:26:28.439 --> 01:26:33.039
friggin massive hit. It to be what like five ten

1913
01:26:33.079 --> 01:26:34.520
at the most, I would say, because there were some

1914
01:26:34.560 --> 01:26:38.000
big names in it. Yeah. A slobbering Saint Bernard becomes

1915
01:26:38.039 --> 01:26:40.279
the center of attention for Georgie and Alice Newton's loving

1916
01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:44.319
family who must contend with dog napping local veterinarian with

1917
01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:47.880
dog napping local veterinarian doctor Herman Varnick and his henchman

1918
01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:52.039
Harvey and Vernon. Unfortunately, it's it's only to rent right now.

1919
01:26:52.079 --> 01:26:55.720
You can rent it on Prime and Fandango. But it's

1920
01:26:55.760 --> 01:26:59.840
a classic, very very funny. The other writer was a

1921
01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:03.520
holding Joe's Jones of Slumber Party Massacre fame. Yep, so

1922
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:06.520
that helps. It never hurts, But I I just love

1923
01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:09.119
that one. It always makes me cry. I've revisited it many,

1924
01:27:09.119 --> 01:27:09.520
many times.

1925
01:27:09.560 --> 01:27:11.119
Yeah, I'm getting redy to work my way through the sequels.

1926
01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:12.520
Because I just watched like the first one for the

1927
01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.199
first time, So I got six more seventh sequels.

1928
01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:17.840
Goch I mean they're pretty fun. I'd say, like the

1929
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:20.800
first four, yeah, pretty pretty solid. And the second one

1930
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:21.960
Groden's back and everything.

1931
01:27:22.119 --> 01:27:24.359
Yeah, it looks like the first three. He's still in.

1932
01:27:24.600 --> 01:27:25.520
I want to say, Oh, it's not.

1933
01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:28.600
Just the first two if I'm remembering correctly. Okay, it's

1934
01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:31.119
been a while, but I'm pretty sure I'm right fair enough?

1935
01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:32.720
Would you like to know what we are talking about

1936
01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:35.560
next week? Is August is coming to a close? Sure,

1937
01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:37.960
So we are going to be going back to two

1938
01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:41.640
thousand and five for a very underrated movie that I

1939
01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:44.159
think is somewhat finally getting it's due, and that is

1940
01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:47.079
red Eye, the Wes Craven airplane thriller.

1941
01:27:47.239 --> 01:27:50.239
That is a great film, highly underrated. I saw it

1942
01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:52.000
in the theater and I was so glad I didn't

1943
01:27:52.039 --> 01:27:52.319
miss it.

1944
01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:55.760
Yeah, currently on Paramount Plus, Netflix, Pluto and Rentable on

1945
01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:57.840
Prime and Fandango as well. So we're gonna be talking

1946
01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:00.840
about red Eye next week with Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams.

1947
01:28:00.880 --> 01:28:02.840
A really really good time on that one. I actually

1948
01:28:02.840 --> 01:28:03.760
got to see out the theaters.

1949
01:28:04.119 --> 01:28:06.680
Oh yeah, yeah, it was a really cool experience. And

1950
01:28:06.760 --> 01:28:09.000
that four K looks amazing. I bet it does, so

1951
01:28:09.239 --> 01:28:11.680
check that out. All right. Well, with all that being said,

1956
01:28:23.239 --> 01:28:26.640
say is there's a lot of air bud jokes.

1957
01:28:26.680 --> 01:28:28.119
There's a lot of air bud jokes. But there's no

1958
01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:29.560
rules that a dog can't play basketball.

1959
01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:32.279
We'll see you next. There are no rules that dog

1960
01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:33.880
can't play basketball.
