WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:10.119
Yeah. In a world where podcasts
reign supreme. Two Friends dare to ask

2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:24.239
Do You Even? Movie? Hosted
by filmmaker Enrique Kuto and movie aficionado David

3
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:42.880
de Noyer spoiler alert, Hello and
welcome back to Do You Even? Movie?

4
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.320
Uh? I am, of course
your host, Enrique Kuto here with

5
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:54.240
Double D David Diniya holidays and your
your what what what I call it?

6
00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:00.399
Your your kind of I can't think
of word. Now. I was gonna

7
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.480
give you like a Portuguese name just
for today's show, like an honorarium Portuguese

8
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.319
name, Yes, but I can't
remember what is Portuguese for poop? My

9
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.239
god? Wow, we're starting off
strong on this one. Well, tonight

10
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.879
we're gonna be talking about a film
that we discovered in twenty twenty on Netflix

11
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:29.920
called Just Another Christmas? Or gosh, what was the original Portuguese teme ca?

12
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.400
Yeah, of course I did.
Did you not hear the part where

13
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.599
I said I am your host,
Enrique Kute? Now I am full,

14
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.959
full disclosure Portuguese. But I ain't
Portuguese like these people. No, no,

15
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.239
I I grew up with Spanish.
I didn't grow up with Portuguese.

16
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:53.879
So one of the funnest parts of
watching this movie is the Portuguese because it

17
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.400
is uh. It's like rowdy Roddy
Piper. Just when you think you know

18
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.079
all the answers, I changed the
questions. That is one hundred percent the

19
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.400
way this goes. But so this
is just another Christmas It's a Netflix original

20
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:12.159
made in Brazil. Yes, and
this was one that we put on and

21
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.319
we didn't know it was going to
be. We didn't know it was foreign.

22
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.919
Yeah, we didn't know that,
yes, and then when it started

23
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.919
up, I didn't know it was
Brazilian. I I just thought like,

24
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.120
oh, I was watching. I
was like, what's not Mexican And then

25
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.080
I was like, oh, maybe
it's like Ecuadorians. Wasn't it when he

26
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.240
cursed that, you were like,
that's not when he said When he said

27
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.039
he said uh, he said shit. Yeah, I mean thank you for

28
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.719
demonetizing this this videos movie's curse to
my apologies in the first two minutes,

29
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:50.199
yes, uh, But but the
moment he said a swear word, I

30
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.439
was immediately like, oh, well, I know Spanish well enough, like

31
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.719
that's how you say that in Spanish, which tells you exactly how the level

32
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.719
of my Spanish education was true,
I was. I was taught through swear

33
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.639
words. But yeah, so we've
got just another Christmas. And this was

34
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:12.039
a film that at first came off
as kind of I thought it was gonna

35
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.000
be a big goof, it was
gonna be kind of plastic comedy. I

36
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.960
thought that the main guy, who
is what's the lead actress? Leonard Sure,

37
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.199
I'm gonna apologize, dear listeners right
now, right at the top of

38
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.759
the show. I'm gonna butcher these
names. I'm gonna butcher these titles.

39
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.080
I'm gonna butcher these names. There's
my apology. Wow, he said names

40
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.120
twice. That's how you know it's
gonna be really rough. No, No,

41
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.199
you know it is. It's a
challenge. My favorite thing was his

42
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:46.319
character. His character is Georgy,
but it's j O R g E.

43
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:47.080
And I remember I turned to him
it was like, Dave, what's the

44
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.280
main character name like Jorge? And
I was like, no, it's not

45
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.560
welcome to Portuguese. So but so
we we put this on and we thought

46
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.639
it was gonna be like because of
the lead being very funny and very animated.

47
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.800
Yeah, it kind of felt like
it was gonna be like a Tim

48
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:11.199
Allen kind of like ridiculous family family
kind of thing, and then instead it

49
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.560
turned out to be this like heart
wrenching, deeply sentimental story about family and

50
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.000
about being present. Yeah, and
about presence and about presence. Yees true.

51
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.920
Yes, so I freaking love this
movie. I do too. I

52
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.800
mean when we when we put it
on for the first time, it was

53
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.879
I remember distinctly, I mean,
with it being twenty twenty or it was

54
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.920
twenty twenty one. I can't remember
which year. It was twenty twenty,

55
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.240
so that makes sense because it was
brand new. Yeah, so I remember,

56
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.920
just us, we weren't necessarily not
in the spirit that year, but

57
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.319
I mean, given you know,
the events of what had happened in twenty

58
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.600
twenty going back to COVID, of
course, the what now Christmas holidays in

59
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.759
general that year were pretty tough,
and I remember that you and I especially

60
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.199
were just we were in our spirit
as much as we could be. But

61
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.639
then after we watched this amazing movie, like we just kind of felt we

62
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.160
honestly felt like Ebene's a screws at
the end of Chris's Carol were just like

63
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.160
Merry Christmas, where I was I
was rich, but also a very insulting

64
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.000
caricature of a certain race of people. God, do you remember when you

65
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.879
broke that to me for the first
time. Yeah, well, I don't

66
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.000
think we're gonna talk about about that. Ebenezer Scrooge is a bit of an

67
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.879
inappropriate, uh commentary by today's standards, Midge midgeon a scoch. But no,

68
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.839
yeah, this one, Like the
worst part was at first I thought

69
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.279
I wasn't in the mood for a
subtitle film. Yeah, subtitle lovers,

70
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.879
you get nothing but respect for me. Sometimes I just go like, Ugh,

71
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.360
I've gotta read and I've got to
watch. But as I've gotten older,

72
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.120
I've become more like, No,
I can read and watch at the

73
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.879
same time pretty easily. No,
And I I think honestly, one of

74
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.920
the biggest turning points for us with
that especially was when we saw Parasite in

75
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:51.319
theater. You mean parasitic right now? This is gonna break me? Oh?

76
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.920
Yes it is, yes, so
uh but no, so we we

77
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.759
we watched the film and we were
both like deeply moved and I'm glad we

78
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.399
out even though it was U subtitles, because the performances are excellent, amazing,

79
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.399
And we actually before the show,
we watched the dub of just the

80
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.199
trailer. Yeah, we never watched
it. Duh, we'd never know.

81
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.160
You and I don't really watch things
dubbed. I mean we will usually go

82
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.680
for the You especially will go for
like the audio track that's the highest quality

83
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.639
on the Blu ray, or we
go with the original presentation of the film.

84
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.279
And I've always loved that about watching
movies with you. Uh is that

85
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.360
so that's true? You clearly don't
watch Bruce Lee movies with me. I'm

86
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.399
like, nope, we remembered this
in England. The only one that we

87
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.160
have watched together to this day was
when you screen in the Backyard to Enter

88
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.879
the Dragon when you got your Criterion
box. What about that? That was

89
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.360
the only time that you and I've
ever watched Bruce Lee movie together. Oh

90
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.040
really, yeah, you and I
have never watched another Bruce Lee movie together,

91
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.920
only Enter the Dragon. I feel
like that sounds wrong. It's not

92
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.120
you. I think I think I
may have missed some movie nights where I

93
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.360
think you watched a Big Boss.
I think that was one of the ones

94
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.759
you guys play. Oh, we
watched Return to the Dragon in this house

95
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.399
a lot. Oh then, yeah, that is a good one. It's

96
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.120
a really good one. Brustley a
hell of a director, highly underrated,

97
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.920
and where's a Christmas hat? Really
well, because I've seen them photoshopped on

98
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:12.079
him a couple times, David,
that's not how photoshopped were No. Uh

99
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.199
So we ended up really loving this
movie. I can't recommend it enough.

100
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.680
I can't recommend giving it a watch
enough. So well, I think that's

101
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.480
honestly why you were surprised I picked
it was that. That was what I

102
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.920
told you. I was like,
I want more people to watch this movie,

103
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.680
especially like I mean especially this year, but just in general, because

104
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.759
nobody that I've talked about with this
movie knows this movie, and I feel

105
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.120
like if it with it being where
it is and the availability of it,

106
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.639
there's no reason not to. Yeah, it is readily available, Yeah,

107
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:45.360
streaming on Netflix, Netflix Original.
Yes, and yeah, I don't even

108
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:46.680
know where do we start with the
movie? We enjoyed this. Well,

109
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.920
let's go ahead and get the pertinent
deats out of the way. So the

110
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.680
director of this is Roberto san How
do you pronounce it? It's not Santuci,

111
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.959
It's a tuc tucy Santucci. I
mean that's not even necessarily Portuguese Parnci,

112
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.360
but he I mean, yeah,
hey, hey, pal, you're

113
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.639
doing great. Fix Bud so he
uh. He's a pretty well known director

114
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.360
over Over's, He's got over you
mean in America, South America? Yes,

115
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.360
sorry again, apologize, but I
mean he has quite a filmography,

116
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.079
starting in two thousand, He's got
ole movie Cabra de Pesta again. I'm

117
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.439
just trying, trying, Yeah,
Riding High in six, Head Over Heels

118
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.480
in twenty ten, he did Till
Luck Do Us Part one, two and

119
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.720
three through the early odts, and
he also had The Beach Nickers in twenty

120
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.919
eighteen, fenced In in twenty twenty
two. He's actually worked with the writer

121
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.679
of this one a good amount too, the writer being Paulo Paulo Chris Nab

122
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.080
Chris Knab forty four writing credits,
as John has under new management in two

123
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.720
thousand and four, SOS Emergency,
in twenty ten, Head Over Heels to

124
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.679
Luck to Us Part one through three, The Beach Nickers Fenced In again,

125
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.679
and then the cinematographer has also worked
with him a couple of times. That's

126
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.039
Julio Castanti. He was a camera
operator on Behind Enemy Lines two Acxis of

127
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.879
Evil in two thousand and six,
he did Second Unit, on the Edge

128
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.159
of Democracy in twenty nineteen, Oubachas
in two thousand and nine, Atlasus spectaviusa

129
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.320
in seven twenty seventeen, Call me
Bruno Defenders of Life. I mean,

130
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.440
the guy's got a pretty awesome filmography. All of these guys really started coming

131
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.720
up right around two thousand and two. From what I noticed a demographies.

132
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.200
Well that makes sense, that makes
sense, and God love you, bless

133
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.759
your heart trying to read all those
foreign names. Oh we're not done yet,

134
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.720
No, no, we're not.
But yeah, yeah, so quite

135
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000
a team. Yeah, no,
a very good team. And they,

136
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.320
like I said, they've worked together
a lot with Leonard Hossam, who did

137
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.039
in Tiluctuous Part in twenty twelve,
he did all parts of one, two

138
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.879
and three, and he's also been
a director on what is it the title

139
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.279
of what I didn't? Reporting for
Duty? So the main character in this

140
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:56.279
who is Georgie. He actually has
a directorial debut in twenty twenty three Reporting

141
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.799
for Duty, which is a series
that his wife on the movie returns to

142
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.120
his well, which we'll get to. Okay, Yeah, basic plot of

143
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.159
the movie from IMDb is stuck in
a time loop where it's Forever Christmas.

144
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.799
A family man who hates holiday starts
to learn valuable lessons about what's important in

145
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.159
life. My synopsis is a guy
who shares his birthday with Christmas, always

146
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.399
grumpy and does not like the holiday, gets a second chance to find out

147
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.480
what really matters to him when he
has to relive Christmas Eve for about twenty

148
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.240
years in a row, but it's
actually twenty days in his reality. My

149
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.399
review would be, hey, white
boy, cry at this, And I

150
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.559
feel that's a fair assessment of David's
reactions. Yeah, this movie. Yeah,

151
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.679
I've got a lot of positive things
to say about it. We just

152
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.879
finished rescreening it and I had to
wipe my tears away and listen to Dave

153
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.200
blow his nose. I have a
tissue that his pocket for this recording,

154
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.480
specifically for when we get to you. You think you're gonna describing it,

155
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.080
dude, I already told you what
I was telling my mom about it.

156
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.799
I did. I went into tears. We'll get to it. Oh my

157
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.919
god, we'll get to it.
I don't want to about the cleary right

158
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.279
now thinking about it. Okay,
Okay, you heard it here first,

159
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.000
garye a cry kids So the cast, like I said, Laria Sam who

160
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:09.600
plays Georgie, and he is also
joined by his wife Laura in this Those

161
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.600
two are the leads that Laura,
Laura, La, Laura Loda. Okay,

162
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.480
guys, I'm picking on Jay.
I gave him the best advice I

163
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.960
could before this recording, which was, dude, just say their names in

164
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.679
English, like say him in the
pronunciations you're comfortable with, because if you

165
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.080
sit there and try to nail accent
after accent after accent, you're just gonna

166
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.480
get frustrated, especially since this is
very much an inglorious Bastards type situation.

167
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.639
Yeah, David speaks third most Portuguese
in this group. I know what you

168
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.879
think you're like, but there are
only two of you. Third most but

169
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.159
she's played by a Lisa panzero and
she was in Osbuchas in two thousand and

170
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.559
nine, An extremely nutty Teacher twenty
eleven. My mom is a character twenty

171
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.480
thirteen the beach Nickers head over Heels
reporting for duty. So they've also gone

172
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.159
to work together even more, and
had worked together before this as well.

173
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.320
Well. And I don't know a
ton about the Brazilian film, uh you

174
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.440
know World. Yeah, but I'm
guessing it's not massive. I'm sure that

175
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.559
there's a lot of overlap and a
lot of like repeat collaborators and stuff like

176
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.559
that. Yeah, probably I would. I would honestly agree with that as

177
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.600
well. I mean, this movie
especially is one that, like we said,

178
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:24.679
took us by storm, but like
even just by storm right about people

179
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:30.840
let me go, David iss,
but no, it completely took us by

180
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:37.039
surprise because genuinely, like this is
a reminder that I kind of need through

181
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.320
the years as well. I mean, You've been really good about it lately

182
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.120
because I've had a lot of family
stuff going on that I'm em bitching about

183
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.840
here and there. Oh yeah,
yeah, I know. Dave is always

184
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:50.440
like my parents are still together and
they're married, and they look grumble.

185
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.399
No, that's not what I mean. More so, it's just like everybody

186
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.440
can relate to this movie where it's
just you get into that kind of rhythm

187
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.360
of you know, we do look
forward to the holidays most I would hope

188
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.159
most of us do, but it
also gets to a point where it does

189
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.639
feel repetitive, and there's some years
where it's just like you don't want to

190
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.759
do it, and you know,
I'm not going to miss anything if I

191
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.519
skip out on this year and this
movie, even just having now finished it,

192
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.440
it's kind of just that reminder of, you know, don't take things

193
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.919
for granted, which is interesting because
you know, most media tells you do

194
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.039
take things for grant. It's a
very popular concept. No, no,

195
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.559
I mean the movie is definitely It's
got a lot to say about family.

196
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.559
It's got a lot to say about
the passing of times, especially about the

197
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.519
passing of time and how it just
yeah, it just it just goes by

198
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:45.360
like a gust of wind. And
but yeah, so go on more about

199
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.639
how how your your mom and dad
are still married, they both love you

200
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.879
and they care about you so much. I digress. But no, no,

201
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.919
no, the holidays are a challenging
time for everybody, for everybody.

202
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.919
Wait, wait, watch out,
guys, it's a hot take. The

203
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.279
holidays are a challenge. Yeah,
there is a lot of expectation. Yeah,

204
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.080
and some people it really gets to
them, that absolutely does. It

205
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.440
starts to break them down because they
feel like, well, if I don't

206
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.879
nail everything perfectly, I'm doing a
bad job. I find myself personally,

207
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.759
I will sometimes get in the trap
of where I feel like I'm almost not

208
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.279
celebrating hard enough. I get that, and that's a really stupid thing.

209
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.799
It is. But I think,
I think when it comes down to the

210
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.039
to the I mean to the point
that you and I love Christmas a lot.

211
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.399
And we've said this on previous episodes, of course, but it's just

212
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.799
like, I think we also put
pressure on ourselves to make other people get

213
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:48.240
the Christmas spirit. If they're not, I could give a shit got him.

214
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.679
That is not true. I know
that for a fact. The me

215
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.480
K is right and also handsome.
You gotta listen to the voice of God

216
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.240
on that one. The voice of
God on that one. Do You Even?

217
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:11.919
Movie will be right back, welcome
back to do You Even? Movie?

218
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.000
No, I mean I love Christmas. Actually in my world, Dave,

219
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.519
whenever I make a new friend who
becomes like a close friend and they're

220
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.360
like, I've never really gotten into
Christmas, I'm like, well, good

221
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.480
luck with that. I ain't gonna
you ain't gonna get away with that in

222
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:37.519
my world. No, No,
I am very infectiously all about Christmas.

223
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:43.399
I am. I'll admit this.
I am an all year round Christmas treer.

224
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:50.000
Is because one day I stopped denying
the reality of the fact that I

225
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.840
am an all year round Christmas tree. Has it been three years now?

226
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.279
Two too? Well? What I
used to do was just leave it up

227
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.120
a long time. Yeah, and
people will be like, oh, yeah,

228
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.440
he's a bachelor, you know,
so is Christmas tree is up March

229
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.519
And I was like, I turn
it on and sit and look at it.

230
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.320
Yeah. I like it. So
I leave my Christmas tree up all

231
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:08.720
year long. Yeah, it's my
house. I can do it. You

232
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:14.440
want. Yeah, And I run
Christmas lights outside all year life. Now,

233
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:22.000
not a full display during the holiday
season. I'll have figurines and projector

234
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.039
lights and all that stuff. But
during the rest of the year, I

235
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.559
keep my gutters lit because I love
light. I love the Christmas feeling.

236
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.840
I know that last time we were
talking about a Christmas film on here.

237
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:41.120
Yeah, I might have made some
people angry by mentioning that Christmas makes people

238
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.000
a little kind or a little nicer. And if you don't think that's true,

239
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.519
it's because you're not. Yeah,
I mean there's no there's no easy

240
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.840
way to not say that at that
point. But no, it's very confrontational.

241
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.200
Yeah. I think though, what
honestly goes into it for you and

242
00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.200
I is just it's a time where
we have, you know, traditions that

243
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.159
we personally have made in our friendship, but also that we have shared with

244
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.559
others. What now again or what
again with this? But we share with

245
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.200
other people. I mean, you
know, you know we you're Your Christmas

246
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.799
party was always something that everybody planned
for. I mean, do you We

247
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.119
were talking the other day about how
you literally passed out lyrics for the Twelve

248
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:18.880
Days of Chrystmas. Oh well,
okay, yeah, yeah. So there's

249
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.960
a tale from the Crypt Christmas album
right amazing that is it is wonderful in

250
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.000
my car right now, and I
uh, they have their own version of

251
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.359
the Twelve Days of Christmas on the
twelve day of Chrystmas. You know,

252
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.680
it's all that stuff. And I
put it. I put it on the

253
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:34.960
stereo and I was like, all
right, everybody, we're gonna sing along.

254
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.640
Everybodys chuckling. I'm like, no, no, no. I printed

255
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.359
the lyrics out and I handed out
copies of the lyrics to everybody so that

256
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.680
we could all go far. A
thousand three lethal blows, two murderous shoves,

257
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:52.240
and a trip to the much wary. So no, I'm I'm,

258
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.319
I'm as my buddy Andrew calls me. He always references me from Scrooge.

259
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.920
He always says, it's my brother
the King Christmas. I mean you also

260
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.799
share the same uh. I don't
want to say hostility towards this statement,

261
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.400
but like, we love to get
people gifts. And the one thing that

262
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:15.480
I said, like, we love
to get people gifts, like it does

263
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.160
not matter if we're we don't expect
anything. We just love the feeling of

264
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.279
being able to do that. And
that's why I hate when somebody always is

265
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.640
like, well I didn't get you
anything. It's like you don't have to,

266
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.319
like I, I'm just giving you. No. That's when you go,

267
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.960
well, well come on, butter, cut the right AI's still open,

268
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.279
get your goddamn car, car go, And it's like, but I

269
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.759
have no money. It's like we'll
sell your beautiful head to get calm.

270
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.440
But yeah, no, I mean
it's you and I share that same sentiment

271
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.480
where it's like, I don't care
if I if I get a gift.

272
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:47.359
I just enjoy the feeling of giving
this gift to you and you getting to

273
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.039
getting to see you open it and
getting to see you know, just that

274
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.119
little lift, even if it's just
that small is just enough for me sometimes

275
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.920
to get out of my head and
just kind of live in that Christmas spirit

276
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:04.200
that I really do flourish in.
Well, watch out, guys, it's

277
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:12.839
a hot take. I think it's
better to give than to receive. I

278
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.240
just made that up. I just
made that up, and I stand by

279
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.400
stand by it. Yeah, but
no, no, I think giving gifts.

280
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.839
I think as you get older,
giving gifts is a massive benefit.

281
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.200
It's something that you look forward to. When you're younger, you look forward

282
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.119
to receiving gifts because you don't know
any better. Yeah, but once you're

283
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.839
older, I mean, nothing beats
getting your best friend something they really want.

284
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.920
They've been looking forward to wrapping it
up all nice and then just throwing

285
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.519
it at their face as hard as
you can and cutting their lip with a

286
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.119
tremorous TV series box set. Hey
did you not want it? I did

287
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.680
want it. I just didn't want
the blood that came with it to come

288
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:56.039
out of my body. It was
your own blood. Maybe Christmas. That's

289
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:57.759
not a sketch. People, Henrick
cut my lip one time by throwing a

290
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.039
d at me. I have a
rule in my house that if your gift

291
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.240
is not breakable, I throw it
at you. It's just something I love.

292
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.839
Okay, but isn't there a movie
that we could be talking about?

293
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.839
Okay, so we digress, But
no, I mean, I think that's

294
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.799
why we love this movie so much, and personally I love this movie so

295
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.599
much is because it is that good
reminder and even you know, just having

296
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.319
watched it, it really did affect
on me just like it did the first

297
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.400
time. And I mean, that's
that's why I was so happy to pick

298
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.559
it, because I want people to
find this and that's why we're gonna tell

299
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.319
you all about it right now,
are we? Oh? We all okay?

300
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:34.599
Fine, well then whatever, let's
do it. So, I mean

301
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:40.400
we open. We open with with
Georgie, who is in bed his kids

302
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.960
run well, okay. He basically
gives an explanation at first about how he

303
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.519
was born on Christmas. He never
really was a fan of it. Anybody

304
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.079
that's born on Christmas one of my
favorite well one of my favorite things.

305
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.759
He says, it's hard to compete
with the other persons they're born today.

306
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.920
He's like my much more famous birthday
person I share a birthday with who can

307
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.279
compete with him? And they show
a little shot of a baby Jesus.

308
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.519
Yeah, it's really funny. But
he, you know, he goes through

309
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:03.880
the years that talking about how he
you know, he's never been a fan

310
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.400
of Christmas, and then when he
became old enough, he basically started going

311
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.880
away from Christmas by taking vacations with
his buddies. They'd have drinking, they'd

312
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.839
do surfing, they'd hook up with
women. I mean, he avoided it

313
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.680
completely as much as he could well. And he mentions that everybody who's born

314
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.240
on Christmas knows that you don't get
as good of a birthday if your birthday's

315
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.079
on Christmas. Anybodies birthdays are on
Christmas. I have a friend who has

316
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.599
a birthday on Christmas, and also
my my niece, she was born on

317
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.599
the twenty seventh, so two days
after Christmas. Yeah, she's never gonna

318
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:34.839
have a good Christmas. No,
No, because it's gonna be. It's

319
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.440
gonna be. We thought we'd get
you a present for both. Yeah,

320
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:44.839
that means you want to get one
thing. My sister was very specific on

321
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.119
that media gets two gifts this year, so I have to give a Birthday

322
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:49.440
gift and a Christmas gift. Well, yeah, you give two gifts.

323
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.640
You get her something from the gas
station and there we go like in like

324
00:21:53.680 --> 00:22:00.279
in ice carves, and then you
get her not hitting her. God what

325
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:07.319
anyway, the kid's almost won anyway. So Georgie, he keeps going on

326
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:08.880
about how you know, he he
avoided Chrism as much as he can.

327
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.799
Then he met Laura and they made
a family. So then when you had

328
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.880
when you're a family man, you
can't avoid Christmas. Yeah, Well,

329
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.599
he says, I I fell in
love, got married and made babies.

330
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:23.079
Yeah, and now and once you
have babies, you can't avoid Christmas anymore.

331
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.799
No, and which I would say
is accurate. So we wake up

332
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:32.960
with with with Georgie on twenty ten
Christmas Eve and he's in bed with his

333
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.079
wife. The kids come in,
they're excited, and his wife has errands

334
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.279
for him to run. So he's
got to go to the uh, he's

335
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.240
got to go to get a bicycle, he's got to go to the grocery

336
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.759
store. And the whole way that
we're seeing this it's super hot. For

337
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.960
one, yeah, because it's Brazil
in December, and I'm pretty sure that

338
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.359
it's basically summer in Brazil because they're
on the other side of the equator.

339
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.200
Yep. So he has, so
it's super hot. So he's stuck in

340
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.720
his car while one guy's trying to
sell him like this Christmas toy. While

341
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.200
he's stuck in traffic, there's a
street vendor guy who may or he may

342
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.200
not just be a homeless man,
and he's like sticking himself into the window

343
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.920
and he has this little paper house
that has a Santa side and he's like,

344
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:11.200
come on, it's beautiful. Your
family would love it. And he

345
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:17.480
rolls up the window and says,
I'd rather go in his car. So

346
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.960
he also gets back to his house, and there's a guy that's taking donations

347
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.880
of the neighborhood. He's throughout the
entire film, so we'll get more into

348
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.039
him as we go, and just
really quick and rightfully so, because there's

349
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:27.920
so much to get to. But
he just skipped over that. He goes

350
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:33.319
to the store and like knocks over
a giant display of Christmas candy and makes

351
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:41.000
like every person angry. And that's
one thing this guy plays there is in

352
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.640
the early parts of this film.
He plays it in no way subtle.

353
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:48.200
He is just big bombastic. If
you look at the poster for the film,

354
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.880
he's like like he's making the wacky
face, which honestly, I think

355
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.079
works for the film at least to
get you there so that then they can

356
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.880
just make you cry exactly. And
I mean, you know, we also

357
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.440
missed the when I say he goes
to pick up a bike, he's carrying

358
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:07.200
this this bike by himself. He
has like three shopping bags and a whole

359
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:08.960
bicycle and he's doing it all.
And that's one of the other things.

360
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.319
He's doing it all by himselflf because
his wife is home cooking and his kids

361
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:18.440
are playing and he's stuck doing all
the Christmas shopping, which he hates,

362
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.640
yeah, because he doesn't like Christmas, even if this is just another Christmas.

363
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.839
But but no, and and that
stuff is so funny because he's stomping

364
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.920
around, uh, just being miserable
and making other people inconvenienced as well.

365
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.359
He when he knocks over the big
display I can't remember the name of the

366
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.440
type of candy they have in Brazil
for Christmas, but he knocks over this

367
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.680
incredible display of it, and when
everybody's looking at him, he's like,

368
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.640
uh, I'm getting one from me
and my uncle and my grandma and my

369
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:49.960
buddy. He's like, they really
like these. He just like walks away

370
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.400
like an idiot, but like he's
So he's carrying the bike in the parking

371
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.319
lot. It gets to the point
where he actually takes it out of the

372
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.240
box, puts it into the trunk, runs over the box. The box

373
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.720
doesn't fit in the trunk at all. Yeah, and then he backs over

374
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.400
the over the box, heads back
to his neighborhood, where we see the

375
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.079
guy from his neighbor what they call
neighborhood club. Neighbor club, which I'm

376
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:14.119
guessing is some kind of a like
a neighborhood resource for like watching over things

377
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:15.480
and stuff like that. Yeah,
So they're taking donations, so he gives

378
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.960
him a donation. He goes back
inside, and then later we're in the

379
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.680
evening of Christmas Eve and his mother
is on the couch with the kid.

380
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.200
Oh wait, let me back up, so his mother back. Yeah,

381
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.799
his mother and his mother in law
and his uncle come to the door and

382
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.839
she's carrying a salad and the uncle's
carrying this giant hot turkey that he puts

383
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.240
into his hands burns his hands,
which becomes again another thing that they say

384
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.079
repeatedly. He just hands them because
be careful, it's hot, and he

385
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.359
just goes like walks to the table
with it, screaming a little bit.

386
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.039
No, it's and and the physical
humor is so on point in this movie.

387
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:55.440
So then we meet the great grandfather
because the grandmother is sitting on the

388
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.200
couch with the photo album with the
kids and they're going through Christmas over the

389
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.759
years, and the great grandfather used
to be Santa Claus for Christmas. And

390
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.200
she goes on this whole monologue about
I appreciate how you're not trying to say

391
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.400
his name. I don't. I
can't remember his name. That's because you

392
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:11.400
you looked at it and gave up. It's like god, you know,

393
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:17.480
it's like Dave's just like that's got
an amper sanded like no, no,

394
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:21.079
it's it's it's it's a uh.
I'm not even gonna try to pronounce.

395
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.880
It's a very traditional Portuguese name.
But anyway, but yeah, he was.

396
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.400
She calls him like that. He
said that he believed he was Santa

397
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.799
Claus. And it used to be, you know, the biggest Christmas gift

398
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.519
that they could give everybody. And
now he's kind of got a little senile.

399
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.279
He sits in a chair and watches
it. No, no, he's

400
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.759
not a little senile. He he
can't talk, yeah, he really.

401
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.759
They just park him in front of
a TV and play Christmas stuff on it.

402
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.720
So, and he's got a big
white beard. Yes, you know

403
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.799
he has a he's a very Santa
esque yeah looking gentleman. Yeah. And

404
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.680
I like that touch. It's an
interesting touch. No, it's a great

405
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.640
touch. And not to mention too
that Georgie is also playing with the kids

406
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.160
and they've got like reindeer antlers on
him. They're right, they're writing him

407
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.279
around the room and that's what everybody
starts riding. And he's just like,

408
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.079
ah, please, my back,
my back. And then his daughter keeps

409
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.519
saying can we watch Shreksrek the Halls? Yeah, and he's like later,

410
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.319
yeah, later, she because yes, yeah, she has him literally in

411
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.640
the morning when they wake up.
Yes, she's asking him if they'll watch

412
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.400
Shrek the Halls multiple times. I
wonder if that'll come back at all.

413
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:21.000
No chance. So then we get
to his brother in law, and his

414
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:22.559
brother in law is is kind of
down on his luck, but he always

415
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.480
has a get rich scheme that he
needs like money for that he wants to

416
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.759
get like a donation for even though
it's not well, and and Georgie's response

417
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.799
is just like he just pulls out
his check book and starts writing, ask

418
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.680
him how much. Yeah, he's
just like how much. He's like,

419
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.079
oh, whatever fits in your budget. And then he like looks at what

420
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.839
he's writing. He's like and it's
just Christmas. And then he goes and

421
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.920
then he literally, I'll write another
check and he does. Yeah. So

422
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.480
then we get to Christmas dinner and
there becomes a huge fight between the uncle

423
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:55.440
and one of his sister in law's
basically that she has a different boyfriend every

424
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.359
time they get together for Christmas.
Yes, yes, yes. And so

425
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:00.519
then the uncle takes the turkey,
walks out the door, and they chase

426
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.359
after him for it. Well,
then Georgie comes back in staying that he

427
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.759
saying that he dropped it. It
rolled down the street, like, giving

428
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:08.880
this whole hilarious story. But while
he's been out, they've been trying to

429
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.839
figure out who's gonna play Santa Claus
for the kids this year. So he

430
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.759
comes in and gives this whole story
about the turkey falling out of his hands

431
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.920
and him tripping and all this stuff. Boo boo. He's like describing it

432
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.599
falling rolling down a hill and then
they look at him and he's like what

433
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.160
And then you see him being fitted
for the Santa suit. I love that

434
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:30.079
their Santa suit is so extra.
Yes, like the beard is glued on,

435
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.519
he's got rosied cheeks and everything.
And now he's up on the roof.

436
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.680
And this is where Dave and I
thought, we really thought this was

437
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.519
gonna be like some kind of like
a Tim Allen style. Yeah, like

438
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.759
Christmas movie. And he's up there
and he's pulling on the sack. He

439
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.839
flings off of the second story rooftop. Yeah, well, because he's supposed

440
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.559
to go up there, like he's
dropping the toys in the chimney. And

441
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.519
then that's it, Like he doesn't
have to go over the side. He

442
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.119
has to go down the chimney.
And even Laura is like walkie talking and

443
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:00.359
him like, don't quimb you don't
have to do this, you don't have

444
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.640
to do this. I love that
when she's walking talking their children's walk because

445
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.519
what else would they would they have? Yeah, so they're literally like Fisher

446
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.039
Price walkie talking, yes, and
she's like, don't do it, don't

447
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.519
do it. So when he falls, he would die, Oh he would

448
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.759
die. It's like a death fall. And yeah, he just like whoo.

449
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:23.400
And so backing up for a second, going back to the grandfather,

450
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.880
at one point, Georgie basically says
that like, you know, he can't

451
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.839
stand Christmas. He doesn't want to
do another Christmas, and he just wishes

452
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.680
this day would be gone. And
the grandfather, who hasn't said a word

453
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.519
and we don't know how long,
turns his head to him and says,

454
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.279
you will find out, basically,
but in Portuguese, Yes, in Portuguese

455
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:55.079
do you even? Movie? Will
be right back, welcome back to do

456
00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:02.319
you even? Movie? And so
when he falls off, that's that's the

457
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.000
end of twenty ten Christmas. We
will wake up the next day and you

458
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:07.119
know, he wakes up and the
kids are jumping in the bed again it's

459
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.559
it's Christmas Eve, and he's like, what didn't we just do this?

460
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.319
Like what's going on? Yeah?
It should be Christmas morning, Christmas Eve?

461
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:15.599
Yeah. Yeah. So that he
looks over at his clock and he

462
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.759
sees that it's twenty eleven, so
a year has passed. Now no,

463
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.920
no, no, that's the banner
in the oh yeah yeah, the clock.

464
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.599
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
know, you got to be taking

465
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.319
some serious naps. If you need
a year column on your digital clock,

466
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:36.759
that is true. This is very
true. So he goes to the fridge

467
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:40.480
and before all, before the previous
year, he'd found his birthday cake in

468
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.279
it, which she was keeping as
a surprise because he doesn't like birthdays and

469
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:47.480
Christmas together. Of course, so
they have this whole argument about about the

470
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:48.640
cake. Well, then she tells
him that she's that he's got to go

471
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.279
buy a cake, and he's like, well, what about the one in

472
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:52.559
the fridge. So he goes to
the fridge, opens it and then there's

473
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.839
just a slab of pizza yeah,
and where the cake was, And he

474
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.440
basically gets the exact same list of
things he needs to get. It's like,

475
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.160
go get Uncle Victor a present,
Go get this present. And that's

476
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.680
when he's so confused because it feels
like he just did this. Yeah,

477
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.519
And then he goes outside. He
goes and he's like, somebody stole my

478
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.799
car, and the donation guy rides
up and he's like, well, your

479
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.680
car is actually right there, and
he's like he's like, no, what

480
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.880
wouldn't I have the keyfop here and
if I click it it would do Yeah.

481
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.920
Yeah, he's like, and also
find out who parked in my spot

482
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.720
and he's like, it's your car, your car. So that's when he

483
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.880
finds out that he's had a raise, and also that the kids are that

484
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.720
he decides that he's basically got Christmas
amnesia, and that becomes the theme of

485
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.839
the movie, is that he can't
remember any the three hundred and sixty four

486
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.480
days in the passed he cannot remember, but he remembers last Christmas. So

487
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.119
he's talking to Laura, who's,
you know, trying to make sense of

488
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.039
what he's saying. And then we
see him in the backyard next with the

489
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:48.480
kids with each have a piece of
wood. Yeah. He's like, well,

490
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.920
if getting hit in the head is
what caused this in the first place,

491
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.559
I know it'll help. So he's
in the backyard with a football helmet

492
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.839
on. I love his little kids. They're like under nine years old.

493
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.519
He and they both just have big
pieces of wood. They're like okay.

494
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:02.880
Dad is like, He's like,
okay, calm down, there's enough for

495
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.240
both of you. My wife is
just like, don't the kids beat you?

496
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:13.079
Just want to beat you. So
doesn't work, of course, and

497
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.640
so then the next scene, Laura's
catching him up on what's happened. He's

498
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.960
he's got a raise, and she
kind of starts to hint that he's stepped

499
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.960
a little bit out of his out
of his family position, like he's he's

500
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.680
not around very much, he works
too much. They miss him, but

501
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.920
you know, they're they're very proud
of him and they're happy for him.

502
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.480
So then we go through Christmas again
in twenty eleven, and the turkey theft

503
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:36.599
happens again. The fight happens again. Christmas is exactly the scene exactly,

504
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.319
which is his complaint. Yeah,
Yeah, And so twenty twelve, he

505
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.920
goes to sleep, he wakes up
memory loss again. Now it's twenty twelve,

506
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:45.720
and he's like, what is going
on. He's like, we just

507
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.359
did this literally two days. Yeah. And then he's like like, we

508
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.079
have to go to a doctor.
And she's like, you've been into a

509
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.160
doctor about this because when you woke
up on the twenty fifth and didn't remember

510
00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:00.079
Christmas, Yeah, we went to
a doctor. Yeah. So Christmas happens

511
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:04.000
again, and you know, this
time he's got an othermant for the turkey

512
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.960
though, so he's kind of picking
up on the fact that he's like,

513
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.640
Okay, well I remember this Christmas, so I'm gonna have this prepared.

514
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:12.279
There's chaos with the kids again,
the turkey theft happens again, and then

515
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.519
like as everybody's leaving and having a
great time, he's just by the door,

516
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.400
you know, taking a beer down. So he's still not into this

517
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.079
at all. Well, I mean
he's he's not even sure it's really happening.

518
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.440
Yeah, he's still wondering if this
is all a head injury induced nightmare

519
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.599
or something. And yeah, so
this time around, he's just kind of

520
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:34.720
going through the motions, drinking his
beer and not worrying about much of anything.

521
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.960
And uh, it's it's about to
get. It's about to get take

522
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.920
a little bit of a dark turn, bit of a turn, because he

523
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.480
looks over at the grandfather and he's
like, you know, what is going

524
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.160
on? And the grandfather just turns
his head and grins again, and it

525
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:51.799
drives him crazy and he storms off. So then he decides, as he's

526
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:53.319
getting ready for bed, that he's
like, wait, I have sleeping pills,

527
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.000
so I'm just gonna put him in
my nightstand when I wake up tomorrow,

528
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.920
I'm just gonna take one. And
he proceeds to do this for seven

529
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:06.079
years from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty, he takes a sleeping peel a pill

530
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.800
every Christmas, takes a bunch of
them, not like not like a suicide

531
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:12.480
amountain, Yeah, but he takes
like he takes a bunch of pills,

532
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.360
sowing sleep all the day. And
Laura's trying to wake him up at one

533
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.119
point, because we go through a
montage of the Christmas is passing and Laura's

534
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.719
always trying to wake him up and
he's not getting up. So twenty thirteen

535
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.960
to twenty twenty, he's missed seven
years. Now, so twenty twenty one,

536
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:28.000
he wakes up and his appearance has
changed. Now he has a mustache.

537
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:37.039
She has white, a sad mustach. She looks early on. Georgie

538
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.679
looks like he's got kind of longish
hair. He's kind of very youthful looking.

539
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.840
Now he's got a very conservative haircut. He's got this awful mustache,

540
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:50.440
and he really kind of looks like
a different person. He does. And

541
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:53.840
the reason that he's joining Christmas this
year is because Laura. He wakes up

542
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.000
and reaches for a sleeping pills in
his nightstand. They're not there. Laura's

543
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.480
sitting in the chair right next to
him, and she's like, wants you

544
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.199
to join us for Christmas this year, like we miss you. Yeah,

545
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:07.880
And so he goes out and she's
telling him about, you know, what's

546
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:08.760
been going on. But then the
kids come in the room. And now

547
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.000
the kids, of course are grown
up. They're they're their teens, and

548
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.400
he's completely moved by, you know, the fact they've grown up. They

549
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.679
look great. And he's looking in
the mirror and he's like looking at his

550
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:21.199
wrinkles and he's like, I need
to get bypassed. I hate this mustache.

551
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.280
He saves off the mustache, and
Laura's filling him in and she's like,

552
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:25.719
there is one thing I didn't mention, and he goes to lift up

553
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.000
a shirt and he's just got a
scar from surgery, from open heart surgery.

554
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:32.079
Yeah, from like a bypasser who
bypasses. Yeah. And he's like

555
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:36.960
a which is horrifying. Yeah,
And she fills it in. On Christmas,

556
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.840
you know, the same thing basically
has still happened, except now that

557
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.320
the uncle is since he just take
the turkey, he no longer can bring

558
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.480
the turkey. He now brings an
apple turnover this year well, of course,

559
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:46.880
and then he says, oh,
did you roll it down the hill?

560
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:51.320
And his uncle just looks at me
and goes, you you woke up

561
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.639
to say that's a that's a genpid
thing. So then we get to the

562
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:58.440
brother in law and by this point
the family has been made aware by Laura

563
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.039
of his Christmas amnesia and as they
call it, So the brother in law

564
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.519
comes up to him, thinking that
he can take advantage of him. He's

565
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:06.119
like, he's like, hey,
man, you know I paid you that

566
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:08.320
money back. You know I've never
taken any money from you. Actually you

567
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:12.760
owe me, owe me money.
Yeah, And that's when Georgie's like,

568
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:14.920
you know, I'm gonna say this
and then I'm gonna punch you. I

569
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.880
just have Christmas d amnesia. On
all three hundred and sixty four days,

570
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.360
I remember Christmas, so therefore I
remember every time I've loaned you money.

571
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:23.719
And he's like, ah, well
you don't remember if I paid you back

572
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:28.599
back in July. In July,
I paid you back in July, so

573
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.880
Christmas is just kind of going off
that a hitch. Well, then his

574
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:34.079
son comes over to him and he's
like, your phone's ringing and he's like,

575
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:35.639
well, who is it? And
he's like, it's your secretary.

576
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:37.599
He goes, you better take it
quietly because mom doesn't like her. And

577
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.440
that's when we unfortunately find out that
he is having an affair with his secretary

578
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.320
for the last four years. Well, yeah, and she's mad. She

579
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:49.000
wants him to meet her at a
bar near their office. Yeah, and

580
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.960
yeah, that's where he finds out
they've actually been sneaking around yea for four

581
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:57.360
years years and his wife does not
like her. Yeah, of course she

582
00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:59.760
you know, may or may not
be aware of the affair. This is

583
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:00.960
true. He goes down there.
There's a lot of funny stuff that happens,

584
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.639
but there's so much that happens in
this movie. Yeah. So he

585
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.880
ends up telling her like get away, go away, and he even says

586
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.000
like and because she's all hurt,
because he's like, I don't know you,

587
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.559
I don't remember you. You're not
special to me. Yeah, And

588
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.400
then when she's all offended, he's
like, good, good, and tomorrow

589
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:17.159
if you know, or the next
few days, if I come to you

590
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:20.760
on my hands and knees, do
you know you don't take me back?

591
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.400
Yeah? Yeah, and that's where
we start. We get the beginning of

592
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:30.800
Georgie's uh having a cop to combat
his everyday self. Yeah, with his

593
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:36.000
Christmas self. Yes, because now
we're starting to realize that that as he's

594
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.800
on autopilot of sorts, Yeah,
during the throughout the whole year. Yeap

595
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:44.440
that it's more. It's worse than
just mustaches and heart attack. It's yeah,

596
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.119
he has to be caught up every
Christmas from this point on about all

597
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:52.000
the horrible things basically that he's done. And that is a kickoff for twenty

598
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.960
twenty two Christmas because he goes to
bed. But before that, or excuse

599
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.960
me, let's go back twenty twenty
one. So he goes to bed with

600
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.559
Laura, and Laura's not really warmed
to him, and he's, you know,

601
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.239
just checking with her. You know, have I been good to you?

602
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:06.760
You know, I don't remember,
And Laura basically tells him, you

603
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:08.519
know, there's no reason to talk
about You're not gonna remember tomorrow. And

604
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:13.280
you can just kind of see that
she's aware that something is going on well,

605
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.199
and she even and he asks like, why'd you wake me up?

606
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:16.719
And she's like, I miss you. I miss you the old you.

607
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:21.480
Yeah, the one the one day
we get the old you. I want

608
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.639
that day with you. And so
he goes to bed. Twenty twenty two,

609
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:29.119
he wakes up and now he's not
in his house no, and all

610
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.400
of a sudden he's looking around.
And one thing we forgot to mention is

611
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.920
towards the beginning, when he's skipping
a couple of years, there's this horrible

612
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:37.519
painting on the wall that he doesn't
like. Yeah, he's like, who

613
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.159
what is that ugly thing is?
She's like, you bought bo He's like,

614
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:45.159
I did, did so he when
he wakes up in this new place,

615
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:46.039
he sees the painting, so he
knows, okay, well, clearly

616
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:51.119
I'm supposed to be here. Well, then that's completely revealed as Marcillo comes

617
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:55.159
in his secretary and lingerie and had
reindeer antlers, yes with breakfast in bed,

618
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.679
and she's basically telling him, you
know, we we've been together for

619
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.079
four's living here now and you left
your wife and we're together, we're probably

620
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.920
gonna get married. And that's when
he freaks out. And I want to

621
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.480
mention real quick, just to paint
a quick image. Yeah, Marcia is

622
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:17.480
kind of like your traditional tryhard Brazilian
lady. So she's a little older,

623
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.639
you know, she's a little older
she's had work done, she's got like

624
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:23.360
the I mean, I don't know
how much people know about Brazilian culture,

625
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:27.400
but she's got the big boobs,
the big butt. But she's like,

626
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:32.000
it was really good casting. She's
not a friggin model. She's not bad

627
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:37.880
looking, but she's kind of sleazy, yeah looking, And I thought that

628
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.480
was really you know, smart,
you know, because it makes it less.

629
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.079
It doesn't feel pure, it doesn't
feel it feels like he wants that

630
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.239
hot chick who's like he thought he
could never get. Yeah, and well

631
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.559
so now yeah, sorry. I
think what I like about Marcia's character too,

632
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.480
is that even though like she doesn't
you know, she doesn't want him

633
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.480
to be around his family, which
we'll find out here in a second,

634
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.159
she still you know, lets him
go and goes to pick him up and

635
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.239
whatnot, Like she still gives him
that grants for for the time being that

636
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.960
we live in that grant give give
grants him that that motion to go be

637
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:12.199
with his family. Fair fair enough, those are words, shut up.

638
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.559
So so she's like, wait,
wait, if you're not gonna listen to

639
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:19.840
me, hear it from yourself.
So then she alone and pulls up this

640
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:24.519
video that is Georgie explaining to himself
on a script that Marcia has written about

641
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:29.119
his life and he plays golf,
and the script is like, is like

642
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.440
secret, like he mentioned always like
well Marcia, I mean the doctor doc

643
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.239
said I should tell you this.
But the funniest thing is in this video

644
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.920
that that's like edited together on the
cell phone. He's like playing golf poorly,

645
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.320
poorly. Everything he's doing is poorly. A low calorie breakfast that he

646
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:49.880
hates. Oh my god, it
literally is a bowl of sand. Yes,

647
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:53.360
I love he's literally eating a bowl
of like she pours in and it

648
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:57.199
looks like kitty literally, no,
it does. And yeah, and and

649
00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.199
then like we'll point, they show
them getting into bed together, film us

650
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.039
to bed. She's like yeah,
And it doesn't even look like he enjoys

651
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:07.159
it. It looks like he's terrified
of Marcia. He's even checking himself under

652
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.920
the cover some mixture. He's ready
when she climbs. Yeah, he's so

653
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:14.599
scared of her. It's so funny
because but then when he's talking about this

654
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:16.960
lifestyle that he has, he's like, it's an incredible lifestyle. You know,

655
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:22.840
you're a virile man that women love, and you're you're successful and you

656
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:24.800
have lots of money and you're doing
all this, but it's actually kind of

657
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:29.440
looks pathetic. Pathetic, Yeah,
and he's not. That's the other weird

658
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.079
thing. And this is something I
really liked in the movie. You would

659
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:37.199
think, based on the decisions rest
of the year I see almost in her

660
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:42.440
Georgie is doing, you would think
that this guy would be like a real,

661
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.719
you know, solid gold asshole.
But no, he's just like a

662
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.280
nebbish little shithead. Yeah, you
know, like and and and there is

663
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.719
one part where when he's talking about
all this stuff about himself, he says

664
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:57.239
like, he says something like I'm
kind of conceited, and and Marcia goes,

665
00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.880
you are a little self absorbed,
which I thought, it's just like

666
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:02.679
a little acknowledgment, like you are
a little self absorbed. But you know,

667
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.119
so the video finishes and he's he
can't believe it. So he goes

668
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:13.000
out to his balcony and in one
of the funniest slapstick moments of this film,

669
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:17.199
he literally just throws himself off.
It's like Charlie Chaplin. Yes,

670
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.760
he just slowly, gingerly walks up
to the edge of the of the guardrail

671
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:27.159
and then just right over down and
then we cut him being her taking him

672
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.320
to his family. Family. Yeah, and as he gets out of the

673
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.840
car, he is covered in scratches
and bruises, his clothes are all dirty,

674
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.840
and his family is just kind of
I would say, like not necessarily

675
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:40.000
surprised to see him, but also
kind of surprised to see him even though

676
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.719
they're not surprised, but they're not
enthused. I would say, Oh,

677
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.519
they're definitely not enthused because at all
we pull up and we see Lauras like

678
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:50.800
decorating the house so like she's doing
it literally the day of when before it

679
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:52.639
was already done. The sun comes
out and he's like, you need to

680
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.159
barrow some clothes, and so they
go inside and then we we immediately cut

681
00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:00.719
to Christmas and it's so quiet,
like it is. It is so quiet.

682
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:02.639
There's really like there's people talking,
but like no one's talking to him.

683
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:06.800
Everybody's given the cold shoulder, and
including his mother in law, Like

684
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:08.800
she even says, I hate you. And that's really wild because most people's

685
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:10.960
mother in laws are very kind to
them. Yeah, I mean, at

686
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:16.920
least according to stand up comedy.
So and he makes a comment in regards

687
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:20.960
to them getting ready for dinner about
where's Uncle Victor? And you find out

688
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:24.440
that Uncle Victor is passed at this
point, and you just get to see

689
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:28.920
that like even though you know the
family is letting him be there, like

690
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:30.800
nobody really wants him there. And
even Laura is saying, you know that

691
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:35.280
she's got somebody else in her life
now and that you know, she hates

692
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.199
him and she just can't stand side
of him. Find out they split up

693
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:39.960
in February. Yeah, so it's
actually it's not new, No, not

694
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.440
new, it's relatively old news,
I guess. And again they embrace him

695
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:47.880
because of the Christmas amnesia, because
they do know even though three hundred and

696
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:52.320
sixty four days he's been a shit, that he's still gonna be the same,

697
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:54.599
uh, Georgie that he was,
you know, last Christmas. So

698
00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:00.280
there's a really sweet scene at this
point too, where his daughter basically is

699
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.360
pleading to him that, like his
mother, that his wife has not given

700
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:07.320
up on him, and yeah,
he tells him, like she hasn't.

701
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.559
She hasn't actually seen anyone else.
She hasn't given up on you. Yeah,

702
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.840
she still loves you. No,
this is actually a great one because

703
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.079
you have the daughter that's being really
sweet to him. And then at one

704
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:20.519
point he goes outside to get away
from everybody and his son dog yes,

705
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:22.039
and the son he's like, he's
like, so, how you doing sudden

706
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:23.480
like house school, and he's like, ah, you know you don't.

707
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:27.280
You won't remember any remember? Why
tell you? Why tell remember? He's

708
00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:30.239
like, no, I care.
So his son then tells him that like

709
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:32.440
he's been kicked out of college for
drugs. It was because of drugs.

710
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.480
He's like, but it's okay,
dad, because I've been I'm clean now

711
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:37.840
since my time, like you were
in a prison. And then he's like

712
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:43.679
he's like were you were you somebody's
bitch. And he's like, Dad,

713
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.519
but it's okay because you know now
I'm gonna be a musician, Brazilian funk

714
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:49.480
artist. Yeah. He's like,
yeah, you played the piano. I

715
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:51.679
did love what he plays. No, I'm a Brazilian funk artist. He

716
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:54.719
starts doing this dance and singing like
a full set song too that's like a

717
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:59.559
song about panties dropping and stuff,
and and he's just like and then he's

718
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:00.719
like, oh my god, my
son dropped out of college and then he

719
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.280
did drugs and then he was the
little spoon. I love that. It's

720
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.519
then he was the little spoon.
So then it sud reveals he's completely fucking

721
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:09.760
with him. Dad, I'm just
kidding. I got my diploma in the

722
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:23.079
summer. Yeah, Do You Even? Movie will be right back. Welcome

723
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:30.239
back to Do You Even? Movie? And so that's when he goes up

724
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:32.719
to the daughter's room and she's like, you know, mom still loves you.

725
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:35.840
Don't give up on her. And
at this point, you know,

726
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:37.960
Christmas is kind of over. So
he goes up because Marcia pulls up.

727
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.239
And this is one thing I pointed
out to you. There's only one time

728
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:45.639
in this film that it rains,
and this particular scene, it's raining outside,

729
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.119
so he goes out to it would
be weird if it inside. Yes,

730
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:52.440
So it's raining, and Marcia pulls
up and she calls to him.

731
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.960
So he goes out to go to
the car, but then he turns around,

732
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:58.519
rushes back to Laura, gives her
a big kiss, and says,

733
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.800
basically, don't give up on me. Yeah, he says, don't give

734
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.800
up on us. And honestly,
this is where the movie took a turn.

735
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.639
I was not expecting. Yeah,
because the whole kiss and don't give

736
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:13.440
up on us thing. It seems
like at this point you pretty much it's

737
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:19.440
just it's just autopilot. Autopilot.
Georgie is a bad dude. Yeah,

738
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:23.280
he's gonna keep making these mistakes.
But then he goes back to Marcia's she

739
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:27.800
reluctantly puts into bed on the couch
because she's mad at him for kissing his

740
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.199
ex wife. Yep, and she's
like, well, tomorrow you claim you

741
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:31.920
won't remember. That's the other thing
that's important to keep in mind. The

742
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:37.920
one real blessing is his wife and
his two kids know that it's real.

743
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:40.880
Yeah, and that's really important.
That's why they're kinder to him, even

744
00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:44.960
though they're mad at him. It's
like they do know that he literally doesn't

745
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:50.039
know. Other family members are more
skeptical. Yeah, Marcia very skeptical of

746
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:54.440
the idea that he's forgetting things well. And Marcia even threatens him basically saying

747
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.880
that you wanted to spend Christmas abroad
and I topped you out of it,

748
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:00.960
But next year I might just do
that because now he's not gonna have any

749
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:05.119
control for the next three hundred and
sixty four days. Yeah, she tells

750
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.400
him, Yeah, well maybe won't
be around, so you can't see your

751
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.599
family at all. Ye also should
mention both times he shaves his mustache.

752
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.800
He's like, I can't believe you
threw my razor out the window. And

753
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:17.360
then he turns and you just see
the other half. And the other thing

754
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:21.119
is she points out, She's like, I love that mustache, which is

755
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:25.199
just again about him being like a
total like pathetic pushover incompoop. It's like,

756
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:29.639
really, your your secretary that you
fell in love with, is the

757
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:34.639
reason you have a mustache? Yeah, homie, Like as the lifestyle guide

758
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:37.039
of Do You Even movie? Oh, carrying over our I just want to

759
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:43.400
say, kings, your facial hair
is yours to do with as you please

760
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:49.000
love yourself. And maybe the ladies
will, or maybe they won't, or

761
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:52.559
maybe the fellas will. They're very
forward thinking here at do You Even Movie?

762
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.639
This is true. So she threatens
him that, you know, next

763
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.880
year, will spend Chris is abroad. So he goes to bed and he

764
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:02.440
wakes up and he's on some tropical
island. They're in a resort. Yeah,

765
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:06.519
it's a resort, like one of
those bungalows that's on the water.

766
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:08.360
Yeah, and he starts freaking out, he goes into his room. He

767
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:10.400
starts packing stuff up, but he's
like, Marcia, you're not gonna keep

768
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:15.079
me away from my family. And
by this point we haven't seen anybody webody

769
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:16.639
himself yet. Yeah, and somebody's
in the shower. So he's packing his

770
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:21.760
bags and then behind him, Laura
walks out, revealing that they've gotten back

771
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:24.519
together. Yes, and it is
one of the sweetest moments because you get

772
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:27.960
to see them spend a Christmas abroad. They're, you know, they're having

773
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.719
drinks together and they're talking and she
asked him, you know, where would

774
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.000
you like to go next year?
And he goes, surprise me. So

775
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.800
then we're treated to a montage for
about four years in a row where he

776
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.199
wakes up in Paris. Uh,
they wake up, they're in Moscow.

777
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:44.599
They're in Alaska at one point,
and so they're spending Christmas Is abroad for

778
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:45.920
about three or four years. And
she mentions, I mean the kids are

779
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.360
grown at this point, so like
their son was already in Australia, their

780
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.199
daughter was with her boyfriend. But
then sometimes they're still still together them too.

781
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:57.480
Because the way they showed the montage
is he's posting on social media so

782
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:00.920
you see like they're they're at the
Eiffel Tower one Wayne and all this,

783
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.960
Like it's just really sweet because you
kind of get to see the family bond

784
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.199
get built back up. Yeah,
and she mentions that the way that they

785
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.440
got back together was she called him
every day for a month. And that's

786
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:15.599
one thing. That's another thing worth
pointing out, Dave. She she says,

787
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:17.880
she calls him every day for a
month, and that's how they began

788
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:25.840
to reconcile. Yeah, so they
reconcile. That means that Georgie's he's in

789
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:34.000
there. Yeah, because if Georgie
was just this like evil actor, then

790
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:36.639
he wouldn't care if she called every
day because he'd be like, I've got

791
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:40.119
Marcia. But no, it was
in there somewhere. He was just it

792
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:44.159
was almost like he was just his
head was in the sand. He couldn't

793
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:49.119
hear. So she took the initiative
and busted through, which suggests that the

794
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:53.519
person Georgie is on Christmas is actually
who he is inside as well. Yeah,

795
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:59.199
and now we're treated to this montage. We're treated to his family being

796
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:05.360
closer and close. We're treated to
his daughter having a child and him becoming

797
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:07.960
a grandpa and the emotions of like, oh my god, I'm a grandpa,

798
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:13.480
Like this is amazing. And the
way they age Georgie is very well

799
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:15.239
done. Yeah. They actually not
only do they give him a little old

800
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:19.760
age make or whatever, they actually
thin his hair and grace some of it.

801
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.199
They really do a great job of
making him look like he's aging gracefully.

802
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:25.000
Yeah. But there's one part.
One part that really clicked with me

803
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:31.280
was when when he's talking to his
daughter after you know, she has a

804
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:35.639
new baby and everything. Yeah,
he asked her, He's like, am

805
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:37.159
I good to you like the rest
of the time? Yeah, Like are

806
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:40.280
we good? Do we talk?
And she like looks at him and you

807
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:45.599
think it might be sad, and
then she says, we talk every day.

808
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:47.199
Yeah, And she's like, you
especially call me, like when you're

809
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.400
traveling abroad for work, You're always
talking to me. No, we we're

810
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.599
awesome. Yeah, and you're just
like, wow, I would I would

811
00:50:55.679 --> 00:51:04.079
never have predicted that the reconciliation was
going to happen without some kind of another

812
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:08.119
magical thing happening, or the or
the curse or whatever you wanna call it

813
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:14.599
be reversed. Yeah, but without
that happening he's managed to turn his family

814
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.280
around by I guess saying what he
really feels, which is kind of the

815
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:25.679
beginning of this film's emotional center.
Yeah. Absolutely, the idea that at

816
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:30.559
Christmas we kind of stop and we
kind of let go of other things and

817
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.519
we kind of think about what we
really think and feel, which is what

818
00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:37.920
I got from that element. The
idea that like, even though he's literally

819
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:43.000
not the same person necessarily on Christmas, he kind of ish that it is.

820
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.400
Yeah, and I thought that was
a really interesting move. It absolutely

821
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:50.480
is. And I think where we
get to in what I what I wrote

822
00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:53.559
down is Christmas twenty twenty seven.
Yes. Yeah, So, as Enrique

823
00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:55.719
I mentioned, his daughter has a
baby. And the way that they reveal

824
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.920
this is so awesome is he wakes
up expecting to be a brought again and

825
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.239
he's back home and he goes to
Laura and he's like you know what,

826
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:06.559
and she's closing a door and he's
like, why are we and she's like

827
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:07.639
sh He's like, well, why
are we here? And she's like,

828
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:09.760
well, come here, I'll show
you. Yeah, and they open the

829
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:14.480
door and there's the daughter with her
baby, and it's super sweet and she

830
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:16.960
reveals that they named him Victor,
which is a pretty funny scene because he

831
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.280
goes back and forth of why he's
named Yeah, he's like, oh,

832
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:22.239
after uncle Victor. She's like,
no, after Grandpa, He's like,

833
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:24.719
Grandpa's name is Victor. Yeah.
And then I can only guess it's a

834
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:30.199
cultural joke because he's like, Grandpa's
name should be like moderal moral. I

835
00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:34.199
don't have, Yeah, I don't
and nothing against name moros listening, but

836
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:35.880
that's what he said. He was
like, I thought his name should be

837
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:39.000
Morol. Yeah. Uh so.
Also also worth mentioning when he wakes up

838
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:42.199
with the mustache. I almost forgot
that. He says, I'm a super

839
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:49.440
Mario brother, super Mario brother.
So so now he goes, so we're

840
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.400
going through the Christmas eve Day and
we get to a hilarious point where he's

841
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:53.760
petting the dog Roy and he's like, you know, man, Roy,

842
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:55.800
how old are you gotta be?
Like thirty now? And he's like the

843
00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:00.119
Highlander of Dogs. I love that
one. It sounds like something we're riffing.

844
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:04.159
No, he says, like the
Highlander of dog and it's I want

845
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:09.360
to point out, as a dog
lover myself, that is a what see

846
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:15.079
I lost the name of the breed
of dog. Oh Star, it's very

847
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:19.119
similar to a stard. It's it's
not a big toven, it's a it's

848
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:23.920
a Beethoven. That's yes, it's
a something mountain dog, Bernise mountain mountain

849
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:27.960
do. Yeah, they do not
live long. If you're lucky, you

850
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:30.159
get nine or ten years. You
usually get eight out of a Bernee mountain

851
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:35.000
dog. So that's worth mentioning.
Continue Dubby, He's like, so,

852
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:37.599
how how is it? And Laura
thirty he's she's just holding back. She's

853
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:39.800
like, there's something I haven't told
you. And she's like, you know,

854
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:44.960
that's not the original Roy. That's
a that's a puppy of Roy,

855
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:47.039
but that's not a different Roy.
And he's like, so this is Roy

856
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:52.199
Junior and she's like, actually it's
Roy number three, but it's Roy numbers

857
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:57.400
number two's puppy puppy. Yeah.
And he's like, you really just lied

858
00:53:57.440 --> 00:54:00.239
to me and switched my dog with
another dog that looked the same. And

859
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:02.599
she's like, well, we didn't
have the heart to tell you. Yeah.

860
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:06.800
So the Christmas this time is a
little more subdued. You know,

861
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:10.239
he's playing with his grandchild. It's
super sweet and the whole movie, he's

862
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:14.679
been talking on the phone with his
dad and his dad has not shown up

863
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:17.760
yet, and same thing. He's
like, since you've got different Georgie this

864
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:21.159
year, who's way more positive family
influence. He's like, you know,

865
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:22.000
I sent you a ticket. Where
are you? And he's like, you

866
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:23.639
know, I can't make it down
this year. And he's like, well,

867
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:27.559
I really want you to come down
next year. And they're all but

868
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:31.719
the brightness, the cheeriness is so
massive right here. Everybody's having a great

869
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:35.639
time. And then Dave one of
the funnest parts. No, no,

870
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.800
no, what's better than when the
family all gathers around the Christmas tree.

871
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:42.599
Yeah, they all hug, they're
all excited for the pictures. Actually,

872
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:46.719
wait, stop for a second.
Do You Even? Movie will be right

873
00:54:46.800 --> 00:55:01.719
back. Welcome back to Do You
Even? Movie? Because we missed the

874
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:06.719
brother in law. Oh oh then
he became rich. Yes, yeah,

875
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:08.760
that is worth That is a great
twist that I love in this movie.

876
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:14.519
So the brother in law pulls up
because Georgie and his son are outside of

877
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:15.639
The brother in law pulls up and
he's in a nice car and he's like,

878
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:17.519
oh my god, I guess the
neighbors are you know, are are

879
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:21.320
moving up and he's like, actually, that's the uncle. So the uncle

880
00:55:21.320 --> 00:55:22.880
gets out and he's like, I
want to I want to pay you back

881
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.880
for everything you've done. I appreciate
I actually I made it rich, like

882
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:29.000
I'm I'm good now. So he's
like, I want to give you what

883
00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:31.400
you paid me with interest. Yeah, he writes him a check and just

884
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:35.480
at this point, the donation,
the neighborhood donation guy pulls up and he's

885
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.519
like, ah, you know,
merry Christmas. You know here, I'm

886
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:38.639
gonna give you something special, you
know, take your family out, have

887
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:42.559
a great Christmas. And the guy's
like, oh, thank you so much.

888
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:44.480
He's like, yeah, I treat
yourself. Yeah. Yeah. The

889
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:46.920
brother in law's like Georgie and he's
like it's fine, you know, christmasphere

890
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:51.519
and even the son is like dad, dad, what are you doing?

891
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:53.559
So the guy rides off and the
brother in law looks at him and goes,

892
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:57.639
that was a check for a million
dollars and he's like it was made

893
00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:04.679
out to me, right, He's
like cash and the guy's like stopping on

894
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:07.599
his bike. He doesn't care,
and then he sees Georgie running at him,

895
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:09.360
and he's like, oh shit,
he started running off. Okay,

896
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:15.800
so so back to the laughs.
So now David's all charming. So the

897
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:22.960
family gets together for their photographs family
photo, and as they're all putting their

898
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:29.800
arms together and having a nice time, Georgie accidentally bumps his daughter's hair and

899
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.679
she has a little bandana on ye
and reveals that she's wearing a wig.

900
00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:38.280
She is not not just bald,
she has zero hair on her head.

901
00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:45.079
And that's when we find out that
they had as a family, decided to

902
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:51.480
spare Christmas. Georgie knowing that she
has cancer, breast cancer, breast cancer,

903
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:54.760
which is late stage, late stage
breast she says, She even mentions,

904
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:57.719
you know, we didn't catch it
early enough. She says, I

905
00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:00.239
should have done something sooner I didn't. And then his first his immediate reactions

906
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:02.880
like my mother, Yeah, because
his mother. And that's when we finally

907
00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:07.719
find out that his mother's gone,
yeah, and that his father has just

908
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:10.440
been nowhere to be found since his
mother passed. Yeah. So the next

909
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:15.360
scene they cut to is uh a, Georgie and his daughter and the baby,

910
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.079
and you know, they're talking and
she that's when she reveals the breast

911
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:22.119
the breast cancer in the stage it's
at, and she ends the conversation by

912
00:57:22.119 --> 00:57:23.480
saying, you know, I'm tired, like I kind of want to go

913
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:28.639
to sleep, and he's like no, and he starts crying and he's like

914
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:31.400
no, like, we're not doing
that, and then she remembers that going

915
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:36.159
to sleep will make him go away. Yeah, so then of course not.

916
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:44.159
Oh Dave's crying. Dave's crying,
So then please no David. So

917
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.840
then she she asked him what would
he like to do? And he go.

918
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:51.320
It cuts to him opening a drawer
and he takes out a DVD Distrect

919
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:57.440
the Halls. Take it for a
second. No, everybody look at David,

920
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.679
look at him, look at a
cry baby. No. He pulls

921
00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:05.960
out a copy of Shrek the Halls
and they lay on the couch together and

922
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:09.760
they watch it together, something he's
been putting off for twenty years. Yeah,

923
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:15.719
and she falls asleep in his arms. And my favorite part of that

924
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:22.920
scene is his eyes just get heavier, it, fight it and heavier because

925
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:28.199
he doesn't want that moment to end, because he knows that well, he

926
00:58:28.239 --> 00:58:32.440
knows that there's a really good chance
that things will not be the same next

927
00:58:32.519 --> 00:58:38.599
year. Yeah, So so he
falls asleep finally, and we are at

928
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:43.559
Christmas twenty twenty eight at this point, and he wakes up and there's a

929
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:46.920
post it on his lamp with a
bottle sleeping bills that it says, we'll

930
00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:50.800
understand if you don't want to come
down, revealing that she is pasted.

931
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:59.880
Well, one of the kinder things
the film does. Yeah, he walks

932
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:06.039
out and he finds his wife on
the floor with his grandkid, which they

933
00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:07.599
have a room in the house for, so they're taking care of it and

934
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:13.079
and she's just loving on him.
Yeah, and he comes and they just

935
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:17.840
kind of nod to each other,
knowing what happened, and then he joins

936
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:21.199
her to joins her to help the
kid gets on the floor of the kid

937
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:24.440
starts playing with him. We're back
at Christmas, and it's definitely a subdued

938
00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:28.320
Christmas this year, for obviously,
not just another Christmas, not just another

939
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:34.519
Christmas. So he's playing with the
kid and it's a quiet Christmas and then

940
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:36.679
all of a sudden, the doorbell
rings and the wife's like, can you

941
00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:38.719
get that? And he goes to
the door and this guy goes is this

942
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:43.079
Georgie's house and it reveals that it's
his it's his dad. Yeah, being

943
00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:45.960
a prick and be like, is
this where Georgie lives? So he invites

944
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:50.199
his dad in and you know,
they're they're having a great Christmas. And

945
00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:53.920
that's when his dad is, you
know, telling him, basically in the

946
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:59.880
simplest turns that life is so quick
by going yeah, well, he's there's

947
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.119
speaking poetically and he says, life
is Georgie, life is like because well,

948
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:07.000
Georgie explains, like, I feel
like my life is going by so

949
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:08.800
fast because I'm like never there.
I'm only here for these little moments.

950
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:12.639
And then I realize everything is gone
and things are moving so fast. And

951
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:15.079
he goes, well, Georgie,
I don't have Christmas and Christmas time amnesia

952
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:17.920
or anything. Yeah, but I
feel the same. Yeah, life is

953
01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:22.800
like as like a sudden breeze.
And then he goes and then Georgie goes

954
01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:28.440
back to him, and that's a
really beautiful moment and a moment that really

955
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:35.159
kind of ties together the main point
of the film. So now Georgie's having

956
01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:37.400
this you know, this special night. He's so happy with his dad.

957
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:40.079
His dad also reveals that the reason
he didn't see him on his birthday was

958
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:44.679
that he could not stand Christmas after
his mother, after his wife dies,

959
01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:47.440
and that makes a lot of sense
because he compares it to Laura's love for

960
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:51.440
Christmas. He said, you know
she she loved Christmas just like your wife

961
01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.360
did. And just at that point, Laura calls him into the kitchen,

962
01:00:53.559 --> 01:00:59.039
and as his dad walks off,
Georgie just like sits with himself and goes

963
01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:01.280
out loud, I could have done
things better. And at this point,

964
01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:06.360
the grandfather turns to him, which
again he hasn't said anything except the initial

965
01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:08.840
comment the entire film, and he
goes make a wish, and then he

966
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:12.400
turns back and Georgie's like, the
hell did you just say that? Did

967
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:15.159
you just talk again? Just talk
again? What do you mean? And

968
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:17.800
then at this point we see that
the family's gotten him a birthday cake and

969
01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:20.960
they come in, they're seeing him
happy birthday, and he's like, I

970
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:22.840
don't want any of this, and
Laura goes, well, this is what

971
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.920
Anna would have loved, and he
goes, yeah, but I don't want

972
01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:30.639
to, and his mother in law
goes, Georgie, make a wish,

973
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:34.480
you could make a wish, and
he looks back at the grandfather and she's

974
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:36.760
like, he never makes wishes,
you know, he doesn't believe in them.

975
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:39.280
And so then he turns back and
blows out the candles and they're like,

976
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:42.280
what do you wish for? And
the mother in lawgoes, we can't

977
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:44.400
tell you that. I can't tell
you or it won't it won't come true.

978
01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:49.360
Yeah. So then he goes to
bed, wakes up, and now

979
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:52.280
we are back to twenty ten Christmas
and the kids running, Oh no,

980
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:54.400
no, no, no, no, what you are not allowed to go

981
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:58.760
over that quickly? Oh okay,
okay. He wakes up before everybody.

982
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:02.440
Oh that's right. And then he
looks over and he sees his little girl.

983
01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:07.000
She comes to the room, she's
seven years old again, and she

984
01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:12.840
gets in the bed, all excited
to see her dad. And the first

985
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:16.639
thing he does is he touches her
hair. I was completely composed and now

986
01:02:16.679 --> 01:02:22.639
I'm not a guess. No,
it's a wonderful moment the movie. He's

987
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.119
just so good. It's just so
well thought out, so well written,

988
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:30.280
so well performed. And then she
asks him if they can watch and he

989
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:34.960
says, we can watch anything you
want right now. And then and then

990
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:37.519
the son comes in and the mother
wakes up. Yeah, and then it

991
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:40.000
becomes a thing where instead of the
day being like it had been before,

992
01:02:40.039 --> 01:02:44.079
he's like, he's like, let's
all go to the grocery store. Let's

993
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:46.159
all go shop for the let's all
go do all this together, let's go

994
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:50.519
get French toast, Let's do all
this. And they're in the car and

995
01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:53.480
now all of a sudden, that
exact same hot, humid, miserable,

996
01:02:53.679 --> 01:03:01.360
busy, crowded, stressful day is
freaking great. It is day. It

997
01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:05.599
is because the the guy that was
pedaling the Santa comes up before and he

998
01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:07.519
buys the toy and they're playing with
it in the car and you just see

999
01:03:07.559 --> 01:03:12.440
them walking out together like they're they're
riding the bike out or rolling the bike

1000
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:15.400
out. It's it's not in the
box. They're all happy. And even

1001
01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:16.519
more so than that, he's back
in the kitchen. They're getting ready for

1002
01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:22.599
Christmas and there's a breast Awareness of
breast cancer Awareness Awareness biography magazine, Breast

1003
01:03:22.639 --> 01:03:25.639
Cancer Awareness flyer, and he puts
it in their mail to keep to go

1004
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:30.519
through and then you know, you
get to see the Christmas happen again.

1005
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:32.800
He's embracing a Santa Claus he's dancing
on the roof. They're having a great

1006
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:37.400
time. Dinner goes off without a
hitch, and they get to celebrate his

1007
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:40.719
birthday and everything is great. And
he ends the movie by basically saying,

1008
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:45.159
you know, Christmas is not about
you know what everybody thinks it is in

1009
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:50.239
regards to the time of year.
It's about being together, living in the

1010
01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:54.239
moment and just enjoying everybody being there
and and your time that you have.

1011
01:03:54.719 --> 01:03:59.920
Yes, and uh. As a
final gag to make sure that you remember

1012
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:08.440
this is a comedy movie. As
a final gag, they the grandpa turns

1013
01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:14.400
and smiles and does he say does
he say something I can't win? And

1014
01:04:14.440 --> 01:04:17.280
then and then Georgie jumps in front
of him and front like jumps right in

1015
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.079
front of the camera and go,
did you see that he moved? He

1016
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:25.800
moved? And then it ends,
The movie goes to credits and that is

1017
01:04:25.880 --> 01:04:29.519
my dear, No, it isn't. It's more than that, David,

1018
01:04:29.519 --> 01:04:32.400
didn't you learn anything from the tears? I learned so much, so much.

1019
01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:40.360
Final thoughts on this, Enrique,
are you kidding? Christ are you

1020
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:45.159
kidding? Do you have any idea
how how totally fucked it was that you

1021
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:48.800
made me watch this movie after spending
a whole year at cancer doctors for my

1022
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:54.159
dog. And I know it's dog, it's not your daughter, but fuck

1028
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:16.159
So no, But my point,
my point is you when when I

1029
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:19.719
also just went through a loss in
my family, and yeah, the fact

1030
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:25.360
is, these are the things you
think about when you're doing things like talking

1031
01:05:25.400 --> 01:05:30.199
to cancer doctors all the time and
and spending time at funerals and and things

1032
01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.239
like that. You think about how
much time you have, but more importantly,

1033
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:41.519
how you spend that time. And
I mean, I I can tell

1034
01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:43.840
you right now, I'm a person
who does not believe in having a lot

1035
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:45.280
of regrets. But if I had
one regret in life, it would be

1036
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:51.239
that there were so many times I
took those holiday dinners for granted. Yeah,

1037
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:54.360
there were so many times that I
was like, you know, I'm

1038
01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:57.599
tired. I'd rather like I'd rather
just like lay around and my mom will

1039
01:05:57.639 --> 01:05:59.920
bring me leftovers. And I like, there were two times when I was

1040
01:05:59.920 --> 01:06:01.519
a teenager I didn't go to my
aunt Betty's, yeah, because I just

1041
01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:05.519
didn't feel like it. Yeah,
I would give anything to sit at that

1042
01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:11.400
table one more time. Yeah,
it's it is it. This movie is

1043
01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:16.360
such a great reminder of what really
does matter, especially during during this time

1044
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.519
of year, but just all three
hundred and sixty four other days too.

1045
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:25.559
I mean it. You can't forgot
leaper for my apologies. You can't take

1046
01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:29.920
things for granted. You can't just
assume that it's gonna be the exact same

1047
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:32.440
or that it's not going to matter
because of the time that you're just living

1048
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:35.840
in in your mindset of it.
You have to break out of those mindsets

1049
01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:39.840
and you have to look at the
big picture of it all. And I'm

1050
01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:44.920
a very big family person. I
have many holiday memories with family and show

1051
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:48.719
off there there have been times,
just like Enrique, where you know,

1052
01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:51.400
I didn't want to go to the
Christmas party, or you know, I

1053
01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:54.960
gave the briefest appearance I could because
I could drive at that point, so

1054
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:57.159
you know, I went in for
twenty minutes, ate some food and fucked

1055
01:06:57.199 --> 01:07:00.800
off, and which was the kindest
gift you can get, gift I could

1056
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:04.760
give anybody, but I have I
have those regrets too. And you know,

1057
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:09.599
watching this movie, you know not
to not to get too personal,

1058
01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:12.880
but it's like, I've got a
very I've got a very big December still

1059
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:15.920
to go on with this because my
sister is actually getting married at the end

1060
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:18.360
of this December and and Rique can
tell you I've been kind of complaining about

1061
01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:23.960
that, and yeah, yeah,
this movie really kind of made me reassess

1062
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:27.920
my mindset's been lately on that and
just in general the holidays, and now

1063
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:32.840
I can't freaking wait to have Christmas
Eve with my sister and her fiance and

1064
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:36.679
my family and watch them get married
and see my niece. Like I just

1065
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:41.960
I needed this. And I think
that's one of the reasons I absolutely picked

1066
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:45.079
it is because this is such a
great movie but also a great reminder movie

1067
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:54.360
that you just don't know, you
just don't know what the time you have

1068
01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:59.480
right now means until you don't.
Yeah, no, I mean that's definitely

1069
01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:02.760
accurate. I mean a lot of
the best Christmas movies tell basically this story

1070
01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:08.880
about what is the holiday really?
The holiday is about the people you spend

1071
01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:11.960
it with. It's not about the
it's not about the food you eat,

1072
01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:14.480
it's not about the places you go. It's not even about the movies you

1073
01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:18.039
watch. It's about the person you
are and the people you're with that make

1074
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:24.199
all the difference. And I'm a
very sentimental fool. I am not afraid

1075
01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:30.920
to get too personal. I have
many times with love taunted you because well

1076
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:34.439
I taunt you all the time,
but have taunted you because you'll complain about

1077
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:36.720
something. You're like, oh,
must be so hard. Oh, you

1078
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:41.199
have this huge family and they all
want you to be somewhere, while I'm

1079
01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:47.640
just an orphan basically, and I
have nobody in the world. I yeah,

1080
01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:54.319
your family tells me that, but
that's your seat. So I remember.

1081
01:08:54.319 --> 01:08:56.079
I'll never forget the first time I
hung out with your dad, when

1082
01:08:56.079 --> 01:08:59.560
we went to the sushi restaurant and
you had to go to the bathroom and

1083
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:01.720
he came over and he went anytime
you want to be my son, instead

1084
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.880
say the word he's dead. Thanks, So thanks for telling me that.

1085
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:12.279
Now. No, but no,
but I I do. I am not

1086
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:15.439
even mad that sometimes I need to
remind you of a really nice family and

1087
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:19.399
you're really fortunate. Yeah no,
and I mean I I I sincerely,

1088
01:09:19.840 --> 01:09:24.640
sincerely cannot express so much I appreciate
that. And you know, it's funny

1089
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:28.319
that even with our love of bonding
over films like this, it's we can

1090
01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:31.680
can we can combine those two together
to have those reminders. And I've always

1091
01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:35.600
kind of loved that about how deeply
we can get into films of this degree.

1092
01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:39.880
Well yeah, I mean I don't
forget like a lot of people do,

1093
01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:43.840
but I have what's called a crippling
anxiety disorder. So people will be

1094
01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:45.920
like, do you ever wonder if
you're you ever think about death? And

1095
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:47.000
I'm like, yes, I'm like
like around the holidays and like around all

1096
01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:49.560
the time, all the time.
Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, but

1097
01:09:49.640 --> 01:09:54.600
in all seriousness, that is just
another Christmas a film that I think will

1098
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:57.439
add a lot to your holiday season
and you should. You should watch it.

1099
01:09:57.640 --> 01:09:59.640
And if you haven't watched it,
I mean, you know, well,

1100
01:10:00.680 --> 01:10:04.720
hey, there was this show is
dropping on December night boiler supposedly that

1101
01:10:04.760 --> 01:10:08.600
should be when we're this episode's dropping
December nineteen, so that means this is

1102

01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:21.159
