Parenthood (1989) Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, & Jason Robards
Henrique and David join the Buckman family for Parenthood (1989), Ron Howard’s ensemble comedy-drama about the fear, joy and uncertainty of raising children. Steve Martin plays Gil Buckman, a loving father determined not to repeat the mistakes of his own childhood. Mary Steenburgen is his wife Karen, and Jason Robards plays Gil’s emotionally distant father Frank, anchoring a family tree whose branches reveal very different ideas about responsibility.
Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel’s screenplay follows four Buckman siblings. Dianne Wiest’s Helen struggles to guide teenage Julie and anxious Garry after their father leaves; Martha Plimpton, Keanu Reeves and a young Joaquin Phoenix bring those relationships to life. Rick Moranis plays Nathan, whose relentless academic program for daughter Patty strains his marriage to Susan. Tom Hulce’s charming but irresponsible Larry returns with debts and a son he is willing to leave behind.
The hosts focus on Gil’s fear that every setback proves he is a bad parent. His son Kevin needs emotional support, his job rewards office politics and Karen reveals another pregnancy just as Gil quits in frustration. A Little League victory offers catharsis, but the larger breakthrough comes when Frank admits his own failures and tells Gil he has always worried too much. The film’s roller-coaster metaphor ultimately accepts that family life cannot be made safe, predictable or perfect.
Henrique watches Parenthood for the first time and connects deeply with its portrait of childhood anxiety. He and David discuss how adults can mistake an anxious child for a fearful one, why simply acknowledging that fear can help and how the movie’s emotional honesty remains recognizable across generations. David recalls discovering the film as a frequent cable title and a family-recorded VHS, while both hosts praise the balance of painful conversations and broad comedy.
Howard, producer Brian Grazer and the screenwriters drew from experiences across their large families, including the opening travel exhaustion and the children’s infamous diarrhea song. Henrique and David each rate Parenthood a buy-it, praising its ensemble and the way its meaning grows with age. Their recommendations include Mr. Mom, Little Miss Sunshine and The War at Home, extending the episode’s discussion of complicated families and imperfect care.

double d David Denoyer. Greetings everybody. This is gonna be an interesting episode
11
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.439
because once again I picked a movie
that resonated with you. Oh did it?
12
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.599
Oh did it? I'm surprised you
don't just come over sometimes when you
13
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.480
bring these movies to me and then
you're shocked by my commentary, I'm like,
14
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.359
why didn't you You brought me Abandoned
Children the movie? Why are you?
15
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.239
Why Abandoned Children the movie? That's
a new one. I mean,
16
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.640
I I mean, it just seems
like a movie you would like. I
17
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.079
mean, would I would watch that? Probably? Yeah? Probably so so.
18
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:57.120
But uh so we're here tonight with
a very special episode all about the
19
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.359
film Parenthood, and sadly, in
order for Dave to get me to watch
20
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.719
it, he tried to convince me
this was about a bunch of parents who
21
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.759
wind up in the hood, which
I was so excited about. Then we
22
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.520
start watching it and it's about feelings
or something, feelings. I don't know
23
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.680
why it resonates with you so strongly, mister two parents, And it's all
24
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.960
fine. I'm a sucker for a
good story, especially when it compiles a
25
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.800
bunch of stories together. And I
mean, it's Ron Howard. How can
26
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.680
you dislike Ron Howard very easily?
Really go ahead? Okay, well,
27
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.680
first of all, I mean when
he was Opie on the Andy Griffith Show,
28
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.080
I just wanted to sock him right
in the head. The only one
29
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.479
and sure not the only one.
No, No, I mean I like
30
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.879
Ron Howard's I mean, I I
think he's kind of fallen off in the
31
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.800
last absolutely fifteen years. Yeah,
but he had a he had quite a
32
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.879
go for a while. He absolutely
and I'm maybe wrong when you when you
33
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.120
dive into filmography. I always felt
like he kind of peaked with Apollo thirteen
34
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.840
a couple of films after that,
but Paulo thirteen was definitely a big one.
35
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.159
But he's got a couple more,
like le double check. Yeah,
36
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.919
he's got a couple more on there
that were bigger to I'll be the judge
37
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.120
of that, Yes you will,
because I didn't even realize some of the
38
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.800
movies he directed later on. And
also he's majorly on like prime in Netflix
39
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.919
now. Yeah. Well so Spielbert, Yeah, Spielberg too. Yeah,
40
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.120
because it's like they can't make movies
that sell anymore. Yeah, exactly,
41
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.240
didn't you direct a Star Wars movie
and nobody nobody cared solo Star Wars story
42
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.759
never even I don't even know what
that means. Yeah, so I know,
43
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.479
hate on Ron Howard. It's just
uh, yeah, it's just kind
44
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.599
of a lot of those guys who
had their heydays in the eighties and nineties,
45
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.719
a lot of them have had a
big struggle to stay highly relevant.
46
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.159
I mean, hell, even people
who are big in the early two thousands,
47
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.159
Judd Apatow is not really relevant anymore. Yeah, honestly. So it's
48
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.199
tough. It's tough to be like
to be that director who had your finger
49
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.479
on the pulse for so long and
then one day it's like you lost it.
50
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.560
Bob zemechis especially, you know he
but he was able to keep it
51
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.800
going to like twenty like the you
know twenty ten. Yeah, absolutely so.
52
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.120
But that all being said, Yeah, we're talking about the nineteen eighty
53
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.319
nine film Parenthood, Yes, which
is a film that I had never seen.
54
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.120
Yes, it was another first timer. Yeah for me. I mean,
55
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.360
Dave was like, oh, bro, bro, you're gonna love this
56
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.279
one. Bro. Bro bro bro, just bro, just bro bro bro.
57
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.759
I was heavy on this one though, Yeah, you were. In
58
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.839
my defense, I wasn't the only
one, because I know Patrick wrote in
59
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.480
and said that we needed to cover
it. So Patrick, this is for
60
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.040
you. And Derek wrote in,
commented on Facebook or on a YouTube yeah,
61
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.199
and was saying like it's one of
his all time favorites. Yeah.
62
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.439
So well we'll see how wrong you
all, oh, will we? Okay,
63
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.199
but I guess it's time to dive
into the pertinent deeds on the film,
64
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.839
So double D take it away,
all right. Parenthood nineteen eighty nine
65
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.519
two hours and four minutes. The
film is PG thirteen. Unfortunately it does
66
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.920
not. It did not give me
a reasoning for the PG thirteen on any
67
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.720
other place. You don't think it
was the swearing, the sexual humor,
68
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.120
and the nudity. Well, I
get that, yes, and scenes from
69
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.959
a Porto film. Yes, I
mean I I mean you better have trivia
70
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.720
about where that porno film came from
within the movie. I don't have that
71
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:11.000
trivia. But I have one job, you know, trombajo David. So.
72
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.920
The director, as we mentioned,
is Ron Howard. Ron Howard starts
73
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.399
his acting career in nineteen fifty six
on Frontier Woman. He does an episode
74
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.560
of the Twilight Zone in fifty nine, then, of course the end He
75
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.800
Gripped Show, where he played Opi
in nineteen sixty. He appeared on Lancer
76
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.160
in nineteen sixty eight, a couple
episodes of Lastie in nineteen seventy. Do
77
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.879
you ever think about the Howard boys, like the dad's just sitting there.
78
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.800
It's like, well, I reckon, I reckon. Ronnie should be the
79
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.120
qutie pie on on on the Andy
Griff Show. And then he's like and
80
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.240
Clint there, oh, Clint ice
cream Man, Star Trek will put you
81
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.560
on Star Trek as an alien that
they did. There you go, buddy,
82
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.600
don't bite my fingers. Kid.
We love Clint Howard here for the
83
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.040
oh. I adore Clint Howard.
Yes, And of course Clint Howard is
84
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.639
in the film as well well.
Of course he it's a Ron Howard movie.
85
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.519
Yes, of course Clint is in
there somewhere. So he does American
86
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.079
Graffiti in nineteen seventy three, The
Spikes Gang in seventy four, Happy Days
87
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.000
in seventy four, as well Eat
My Dust, where he starts working for
88
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.480
Roger Corman. His first directorial,
by the way, too, Eat My
89
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.160
Dust was his first one, grandt
The Thought of acted it he acted in,
90
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.199
and then Grand Theft Auto in seventy
seven. He also does American Graffiti
91
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.759
or More American Graffiti in seventy nine, so his first directing is Grand Theft
92
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.399
Auto in seventy seven. Then he
does Cotton Candy in seventy eight, Skyward
93
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.439
nineteen eighty, Night Shift nineteen eight
two. Have you seen Nightshift? By
94
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.639
the way, I don't think so. So Night Shift is Henry Winkler Michael
95
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.639
Keaton, directed by Ron Howard,
and it's basically Michael Keaton gives Winkler the
96
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.399
idea for them to make money by
using the mortuary where they work at as
97
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.120
basically a brothel. No, I
would remember that. Okay, night Shift
98
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.839
is amazing. It's really good.
Also, Joe Spinel's in it at the
99
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.920
end as well well, Hell's Bells
in Taco Show. So then Howard goes
100
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.519
on to direct Splash in nineteen eighty
three, Cocoon in nineteen eighty five,
101
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.600
Gung Ho, Michael Keaton eighty six, will Own eighty eight. Then he
102
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.720
does Parenthood in eighty nine, Backdraft
in ninety one, Far and Away in
103
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.279
ninety two, The Paper in ninety
four. That's when I remember you showing
104
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.439
me yes, I love the Paper. That is definitely a future episode,
105
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.399
and I think I've said that before
as well. Paula thirteen and ninety five.
106

113
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.600
keep meaning to watch Hill Billy Elogy. I've just tind to it. Yeah,
114
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.040
Verbert, It's good and also one
thing I didn't necessarily forget about,
115

Do we? No? We don't.
122
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.639
Okay, fair enough, So moving

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.879
Wait, wasn't The Tooth Fairy originally
with Larry the Cable Guys this sequel?
133
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.000
Oh? Really, yeah, that's
the sequel. Why did For some
134
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.039
reason I got it in my brain
that one of the movies was The Tooth
135
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.320
Fairy with Vin Diesel and then one
was with The Rock. Yeah. I
136
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.759
got that in my head. And
Larry the Cable Guy does the sequel.
137
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.879
Oh, clearly the superior sequel.
The Rock is the first. You're thinking

of? The Pacifier by the way. Oh yeah, Navy Seal. I

pass Fire. I haven't seen that in

a while. I've seen it clear
one. I liked it. A cinematographer,

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.480
Welcome back to the show, Donald
McAlpine or Mauk Peen. He was
142
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.519
in the cinematographer on the Adventures of
Barry mackenzie in seventy two. Barry McKenzie

seventy eight, Money Movers seventy eight,
144
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.279
as in that one, as in
that one. Osplitation is where this guy
145
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.440
gets a start because he's Kirkpatrick,
wasn't in Australia. I thought it was
146
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.840
only the second one. No,
first one is second one Italian knockoff that
147
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.799
nobody. Okay, I got you, I got you, Money Mover seventy
148
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.799

four, Down Out Beverly Hills eighty six,

154
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.200
all like like very well known,
well liked nineties movies Man Stepmom in ninety
155
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.960
eight and Mulin Rus in two thousand
and one. So, like I said,
156
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.000
we had him on the show previously
with the edge, this man has
157
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.399
an incredible body of work. But
you'll find out on this movie everyone does
158
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.919
well. It's almost like Hollywood through
a stack of money, are crazy right?
159
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.320
DVD synopsis says Gil Buckman, a
funny and loving husband who's also trying
160
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.960
hard to be the perfect parent who
his uniquely different kids. As Gil and
161
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.759
the rest of the Buckman's discover being
the perfect parent often means just letting children
162
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.279
be themselves. I don't think that's
what they learned my synopsis. Attempting to
163
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.279
raise their children in their own ways, four siblings of the Buckman family all
164
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.360
face the ups and downs of life
as they begin to figure out their own
165
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.759
successes to parenting. I mean I
would have said challenges to parenting. Yeah,
166
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.279
that's good, but stop the show. We got to start over.
167
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.120
Ohkil let's rewind it. I don't
have a sound effect ready for this.
168
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.799
Uh nah, I got nothing fair
enough? Uh So? And is this
169
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.240
readily available? Yes? This is
readily available so you can find this on
170
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.159
several streaming platforms right now. And
there is also a Blu ray the Universal
171
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.480
released about ten years ago. Now
Fantastic Blue Ray release has a bunch of
172
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.360
bonus content, so if you're a
fan of this movie, it is very
173
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.559
easy to get your hands on.
All right, good to know, Good
174
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.360
to know. So moving down to
our cast, we have mister Steve Martin
175
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.679
who plays Gil Buckman at this point, and I want to mention, yes,
176
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.159
this is quite the ensemblade. Yes, so we'll get to learn all
177
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.799
about Dave's personal vendettas and prejudices by
who he leaves out. Oh no,
178
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.399
See, that's the thing is I
have I have bodies of work, Yes,
179
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.639
but we're gonna also talk about some
more of the cast. Even if
180
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.320
I don't give bodies of work,
I refuse, well, too bad.
181
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.320
So Steve Martin, who plays Gil
Buckman, he at this point has done
182
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.879
the Jerkin seventy nine, Dead Men
Don't Wear Plaid in eighty two, The
183
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.679
Man with Two Brains eighty three,
Three Amigos playing strains Automobile's former episode ever
184
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.799
Heard of It? Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
in eighty eight, Those Parenthood in eighty
185
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.799
nine, then goes on to do
My Blue Heaven the following year. Never
186
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.480
heard of it yet. We just
watched it. Yeah, but not for
187
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.519
the show, so it doesn't know. It's like it never happens if we
188
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.759
don't sit and talk about the movie
for at least an hour on camera saying
189
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.799
that there's not a chance we might
do My Blue Heaven on the show.
190
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.200
You know, if we ever did
a show where it was like a multi
191
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.360
pack of movies that aren't that great
but are still worth which I actually thought
192
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.679
about that recently, about how if
we wanted to do do a show where
193
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.240
we didn't want to necessarily talk about
the film the entire time, we could
194
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.360
do just like a culmination of some
or we could just make it up and
195
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.000
not even talk about Oh fair enough, Okay, I mean we already do
196
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.320
that though, that is true.
Jokes on you guys. We just lucked
197
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.399
out and completely guessed every moment in
The Edge. Yeah, that was total
198
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.879
luck. That was yes, Eli
story in ninety one, Father the Bride,
199
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.279
ninety one, Leap of Faith,
Mixed Nuts, The Out of Towners,
200
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.240
and Bowfinger. I basically went up
to the nineties because what I did
201
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.679
with this episode with it being such
a large cast list is I wanted to
202
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.399
see what they'd done before and what
they did that same year. Basically,
203
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.919
okay, So Mary Steinbergin, who
plays Karen Buckman, she did Time after
204
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.320
Time in seventy nine, which was
her debut midsommer night sex comedy in eighty
205
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.399
two, One Magic Christmas in nineteen
eight. I love that movie, Sad
206
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.919
as Hell. Sad as Hell former
episode Dead of Winter in eighty seven,
207
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.759
Parenthood in eighty nine. Then she
does Back to the Future Part three and
208
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.840
ninety Yeah, The Butcher's Wife in
ninety one, What's Eaton, Gilbert Grape
209
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.960
ninety three, Philadelphia ninety three,
Clifford ninety four, My Summer Story ninety
210
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.600
four, and Nixon in ninety five. And I know, I think we
211
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.879
mentioned it last show, but My
Summer Story, the official sequel to Christmas
212
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.559
Story, is absolutely worth a watch
if you can get your hands. I've
213
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.600
heard great things about it. It's
super fun. Then we move on to
214
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.559
Diane Weiese, who plays Helen Buckman. She was in It's My Turn in
215
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.960

I Can eighty two, Footloose in eighty
216
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.080

seven, The Lost Boys in nineteen eighty
218
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.600

219
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.440
she does Edward Scissorhands the following year
in ninety Cops and Robertson's in ninety four.
220
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.000
Why did you list anything other than
Cops and Robertson's. I've actually never
221
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.080
seen it. Hell, I don't
know. I've seen. I've seen a
222
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.159
couple scenes on cable, but like
I go, I've seen a couple scenes
223
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.039
on I kind of wanted to go
into the Chevy Chase blind Spots, but
224
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:58.679
I don't know how deep I want
to go. Yeah, Yeah, Cops
225
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.600
and Robertson's ninety four, The Scout

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.600
six, The Horse Whisper in ninety
eight, and Practical Magic in ninety eight
227
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.159
as well. We also have Jason
Roe Barbs, who plays Frank Buckman one
228
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.679
hundred and thirty two credits on this
Gentleman's resume. He is white an amel
229
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.960
Magnavox Theater gets his kick in nineteen

237
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.480
Something Wicked This Way Comes in nineteen
eighty three. Have you seen that?
238
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.120
By the way, I have not. Oh man, I need to
239
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:48.679
bring that over. It's when Disney
was doing those really scary eighties films like
240
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.200
Return to Oz and Like the Black
Hole. Something Wicked This Way Comes as
241
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.799
adapted from Ray Bradbury's story, and
Roe Barbs plays like the plays the p
242
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.159
Did he play the wicked or the
coum? He does not play the wicked
243
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.399
or the coms. He plays the
protagonist in it and It's one of my
244
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.720
favorite roles of his, and I
wish more people would see that movie.
245
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.679
And I think actually it might be
on Plus now, so it may be
246
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.240
more available than it was because I
had to get a copy from the Disney
247
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.000
Movie Club, which is disbanding by
the way. Wow. Yeah, in
248
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.639
Here at the Wind nineteen eighty eight
with Jack Lemon, Yeah, in the
249
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.440
HBO movie I Love You. Watched
it in school, didn't you. We
250
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.440
watched We watched that version, and
we watched the one from the forties or
251
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.000
fifties, oh wow, the black
and white one. Yeah. Yeah,
252
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.840
yeah, we watched both in school
and we did an entire when I was
253
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.840
in high school, we did an
entire chapter or whatever you want to call
254
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.240
it on and the play Inherit the
Wind, and then we watched two movie
255
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.080
versions of it ice And while I
liked the original one, I'd probably like
256
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:54.159
the original one more now. Jack
Lemon was just so good, perfect,
257
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.679
and Inherit the Wind, Yeah,
that it left an impression on me for
258
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.559
a long time. I mean,
he's a great actor. I mean we
259
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.399
talked about grumpy old men, of
course, but Inherit the Wind is I
260
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.360
can't remember if it was a couple
of years ago or whatnot, but they
261
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.639
they put them both up on I
want to say it was Max and I
262
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.759
got and I go and I watched
them like back to back, and that
263
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.159
was Those movies are super good.
I mean yeah, I like, I
264
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:22.879
said a seminal one for me.
Do You Even movie? Will be right
265
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:37.320
back? Welcome back to Do You
Even? Movie? Dream? A Little
266
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.240
Dream in nineteen eighty nine, Parenthood
eighty nine as well one of my personal
267
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.720
favorites and future episode quick Change in
nineteen ninety We're not doing quick Oh,
268
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.960
we are doing quick change. Good
luck. I showed you quick change.
269
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.159
No you didn't, Yes, I
did the Civil War and ninety Adventures of
270
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.600
Huck Finn with a Jonathan Taylor to
or not Elijahood in ninety three even I
271
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.519
was thinking of Tom and Huk.
You remember Tom and howk Oh My god,
272
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.519
yeah, I do, yes,
I do so. Quick Change in
273
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.799
nineteen ninety, Adventures howk Fin in
ninety three, Philadelphia ninety three, The
274
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.279
Paper in ninety four, Crimson Tide
ninety five, Beloved in ninety eight,
275
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.039
and one of his last features was
Enemy of the State in ninety I think
276
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:11.920
we lost him right at two thousand
and one. I want to say,
277
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.200
was that the full title Enemy of
the State in ninety eight sixty eight.
278
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.440
It's nice, I like it.
That's publy enemy song. No, it
279
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.759
completely does. So. As Enrique
mentioned, we do have quite the cast
280
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.200
list in this, just a few
to name out. Rick moranis is in
281
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.960
this, Tom Holst is in this, Martha Plimpton, Keanu Reeves and Joaquin
282
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.039
Phoenix as Leaf of Phoenix. This
was the last film before he had changed
283
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.480
his name to Joaking Well. He
was like fifteen or something. Yes,
284
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.400
yes, he was Alison Porter,
who Maning may know from the early Pepsi
285
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.079
commercials in Curly Sue, which may
or may not be a future episode as
286
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:47.440
well. And I think that's mainly
it for the big ones. But this
287
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.039
movie is one really really stacked cast. And of course Clint Howard well,
288
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.720
and he plays a prick. He
plays some prise, quite a prick.
289
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.880
We'll get to him, don't you
worry. So, like we said,
290
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.160
Parenthood is currently available, you can't
find it streaming. Of course, this
291
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:02.839
was your first time watching, so
correct, We'll get to you at the
292
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.759
end. Oh geez, okay,
fine, my first time watching this.
293
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.000
This was a movie that was on
cable a lot growing up. TBS and
294
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.200
TNT played it a lot, and
it was one that my parents liked,
295
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.720
but they weren't huge fans of it, like we even had a VHS recorded
296
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.799
of it that had like Parenthood written
on it in sharpie. And I remember
297
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.160
the only time that tape ever came
out was when my sister informed my mom
298
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.799
that Howie from the Backstreet Boys was
an extra in Parenthood, and he is.
299
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.039
He's in the classroom scene at the
end with Miranus and his wife.
300
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.680
So that was the only time that
tape ever came out. So I actually
301
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.119
didn't see this in its entirety until
three years ago. Twenty twenty one is
302
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.640
when I saw this because I actually
checked my letterbox today because I was curious
303
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.799
if I logged it, and I
did, and I was really really blown
304
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.680
away by how good this movie was. It was one that I'd heard about
305
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.640
and people had said it was good, but it was played down to me
306
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.160
just how freaking good this movie is
in my opinion, the culmination of the
307
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.240
stories and the way it all plays
out, I think is some of the
308
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.720
best writing. But also with Howard
directing it, I'm not surprised and you're
309
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.759
not broken home. Oh my gosh, what just saying I need to be
310
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.160
more choosy about my tie. I
mean, you're the one who is like,
311
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.599
let's do a movie about family.
Great idea, Dave. So are
312
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.279
you ready to get into the movie? Then vaguely all right, well here
313
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.000
we go. So we open with
a shot of a young kid and his
314
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.240
father attending a baseball game. We
find out that the kid is young Gil
315
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.640
Young Steve Martin's character, and his
father takes him to the game, he
316
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.240
sits him down, and then we
see his father, which is supposed to
317
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.559
be Jason Real Barber's go over to
this usher and he's like, Hey,
318
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.440
this guy's gonna sit with you,
Like, you know, I got some
319
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.480
business to attend. I got to
meet the guys. So the usher starts
320
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.880
talking to the kid, and that's
when they reveal that this is a memory
321
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.240
of Martin's because the kids starts saying
like how He's like, I'm not a
322
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:42.839
kid, actually at all. I'm
actually thirty five and you're just a figment
323
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:48.039
of my imagination. But A can't
think of the word I want to use,
324
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.799
but a core memory that I have
where basically you you culminated a lot
325
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.960
of malgamy. Yeah, and that's
when we've cut to Gil. He's at
326
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.759
the game with his family. Mary
Steinberg and is his wife, and she's
327
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.319
like, you know, the game's
over, E ready to go. And
328
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.480
that's when we see that they have
three kids together. They're leaving the baseball
329
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.599
game, and of course they're carrying
some of the kids. One of the
330
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.519
kids is being dragged by them to
the car. Very much three young kids,
331
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.039
Yeah, and it's we see them
pack up the car. We see
332
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.640
Steamberg and wiping the kid's mouth,
and they get in the car and Gil
333
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.759
is basically telling us that, like, you know, he's thirty five,
334
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.880
he's got a family, and that
he's happy. And they're driving home and
335
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.079
his son starts singing a diarrhea song
and could you recite I don't remember you
336
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.920
don't remember it. I don't remember
it. What were you writing down the
337
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.119
whole time we were watching the movie, if not the diarrhea sa, that's
338
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:40.559
what I was writing down. You
seriously were writing down anything other than the
339
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.519
diarrhea song? I said, diarrhea
song sunned by Kevin the Sun. That's
340
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.000
what's written in my notes. Oh
god, I can't remember how it goes
341
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.200
like I'm blanking right. You're making
me very sad. You're pulling up the
342
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:55.880
lyrics, So of course I am, because I'm a professional, unlike Dave.
343
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.960
When you're sliding into first and your
pants begin to burst, this diary
344
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.079
rhea. Diarrhea. When you're sliding
into two and your pants are filled with
345
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:10.400
goo, that's diarrhea. Diarrhea.
When you're sliding into third and you feel
346
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.960
a greasy turd, diarrhea, diarrhea. When you're sliding into home and your
347
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:22.480
pants are filled with foam, that's

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:40.880

351
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:47.200
funny, but it's very hot and
runny. Diarrhea. When you're sitting down
352
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.279
in class and your teacher passes gas

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.559

00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.559

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:07.599
on the commode and your butt starts

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.920
wake up early in the morning your
sphincter starts exploding. That doesn't rhyme diarrhea
357
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.480
bupp. If you're sitting in the
pool and you feel something cool diarrhea,
358
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:22.119
Oh my god. When your crap
starts to turn red and you wish that
359
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.599
you were dead diarrhea diarrhea. When
you're exploding into the bowl and there's nothing
360
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:32.960

361
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.079
and you feel something fall diarrheap diarrhea. When you eat your favorite dish and

366
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.400
I was walking down the lane and
I felt a little pain diarrhea,
367
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:17.359
diarrhea, It goes down down the
gutter like a knife and bread and butter.
368
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.119
Diarrhea. Oh man, there's there's
a lot more. There's a lot
369
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.319
more. When you're feeling a little
icky because your pants are brown and sticky,
370
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.039
diarrhea, gross. Gross. You're
not feeling happy now because sh it

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.319

Diarrhea. You're trying to run to catch
372
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.480
the train, but your ass is
in too much pain. Diarrheap. Just
373
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.759
when you thought all was said and
done, you feel another rumble in your
374
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:47.319
bum diarrheap. Hey this this song? Were you singing this at the wedding
375
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.839
at your sister's wedding? God?
No I was not, Thank God.
376
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.400
When you're feeling a little blue,
it starts to starts filling up your shoe
377
00:23:53.559 --> 00:24:02.279
diarrhea. There's like twenty more.
What's the song? You just want to
378
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.599
get some sleep, but in your
in your undies, there's some heat.
379
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:11.680
Diarrhea. You're just watching TV shows. Then out your bum it flows diarrhea.
380
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.440
You just went to take a piss, but your bum, but from
381
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:22.240
your bum, you hear a hiss. A cow just tired to just tried
382
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.759
to move now there's piles and piles
of pood diarrhea. You're in a real
383
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.279
big hurry because you you ate some
real hot curry diarrhea, like hot and
384
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:36.440
stinky mud from your ass, a
big brown flood diarrhea. Wow. Uh
385
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.599
for the toilet. You can't astray, you just have to spit and pray
386
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.480
diarrhea. What a feeling of relief
when you made it to the seat diarrhea.
387
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.880
Those have all been added by different
people. My god. Yeah,
388
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:51.880
yeah, this is a page of
people adding versus because this is an old
389
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.240
camp song and we never would have
got there had had I not forgotten the
390
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.559
lyrics. If you had done your
job, the audience would have been spared
391
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.200
thing a diarrhea they just dealt with. So that's when they sing it the
392
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.319
whole car ride. Yeah and well, and remember so the oldest is singing
393
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.680
it, and the middle child,
which is a girl, Taylor, she
394
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.079
is just laughing her ass off.
She just thinks it is the funniest thing
395
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.559
she's ever heard, which of course
encourages him. Yes, yes it does.
396
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.759
So that's when Martin's like, you
know, where'd you learn that song?
397
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:22.839
He's like, Oh, I learned
it a camp and Steve Martin goes,
398
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.319
oh, that was money well spent. So we see that they are
399
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.680
worn out by the song. They
finally get home, Kevin's passed out in
400
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.759
Steve's arm. They're putting the kids
to bed, and that's when the youngest
401
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.720
justin comes into the room and he's
dressed in a cowboy costume, which is
402
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.240
just a cowboy hat and his guns
like his sling forer, his gun,
403
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:44.079
no pants. Yes, this is
very similar to how Dave gets when he
404
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.039
has a few whiskeys in him.
You don't even know that I do.
405
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.200
Oh you do. Themed. So
that's when he's like, you know,
406
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.039
is that what you want to wear? You're gonna be very cold to bed.
407
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.839
And he goes to his daughter and
she's like, you know, I
408
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.599
don't feel good and he's like,
do you have to throw up? And
409
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.200
then she pukes on him. Yeah. It is hilarious. It's just a
410
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.880
sudden and it just splashes on him. He sits there for a beat because
411
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:06.839
he's like trying to kind of comprehend
what just happened. Yeah, and then
412
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.799
his wife's like, well, don't
just stand there clean it. But it's
413
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.079
like he'd literally been puked on like
three seconds ago. It's very funny.
414
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.680
That's very funny. So that's when
Gil and Karen settle under their bed and
415
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.839
they're enjoying each other's company, and
Karen mentions that they have a meeting with
416
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.599
the principal for Kevin on Monday because
apparently Kevin is making faces. That's concerning
417
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.119
the staff. That's initially what they
get at what initially what they get?
418
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.319
Yeah, So then we meet Gil's
sister, and that is when we meet
419
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.640
Diane Weese. We see first leave
Phoenix, of course, walking Phoenix,
420
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.279
and he opens his door, gets
a paperback or puts a paper bag in,
421
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:38.559
and then he gets ready for school, goes out to the living room.
422
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.119
His mom's like, hey, you
know, we have dinner tonight.
423
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:42.680
Everybody's gonna be there. He doesn't
say anything, leaves out the door,
424
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:47.880
and she's like, okay, good
talk. I mean teenage kid. Teenage
425
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.160
kid. So that's when she goes
into her daughter's Julie's room, who's played
426
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.519
by Martha Plimpken, and she's talking
to her about you know, your SAT
427
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.920
scores are gonna get you far.
You know, hurry up, you're gonna
428
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.720
be late for school. So she
goes out of the room, and that's
429
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:02.000
when Keanu Reeves glides out from under
the bed who plays Todd in this,
430
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:04.400
and he was hiding from her,
of course, because he's been staying over.
431
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.759
He has been over doing a little
getting up to a little monkey business.
432
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.960
Monkey business indeed, because he's like, you know, I've got an
433
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.480
idea, and he takes out his
camera and says that they're going to,
434
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.759
uh, you say, I can't
really document their document their love. Yes,
435
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.759
record the love. Yeah, yeah, record their love. So Helen
436
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.880
is very proud of Julie and she's
bragging to her sister Susan on the phone,
437
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:27.720
and that's when we meet Nathan that
is played by Rick Moranis and Susan
438
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.759
and Nathan have a daughter, Patty, which is the little girl Trixie from
439
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:34.480
Problem Child Too. That's I was
trying to recognize her, I was wondering,
440
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.279
Yeah, and she is a gifted
child because Maranas is like using all
441
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.839
his time to like teach her French
and all this stuff like they do flash
442
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:48.720
cards they do. He's constantly teaching
her things because he keeps saying that that
443
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.000
their brains are so much more able
to learn things when they're that young.
444
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.920
Yeah, so you have to like
pound it in now. Yeah. So
445
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.119
at the family gathering that night,
Gil's father, Frank, which is played
446
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.799
by Jason Robarbs, he's hanging out
in front of the bar and he asked
447
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.160
me Gil. He's like, you
know what, whose wedding was it that
448
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.119
I got drunk at? And he's
like all three of them? Dad,
449
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.119
He's like, but wait, which
wedding was it that I punched out the
450
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.519
band leader? He's like, oh, that was mine. And we kind
451
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.559
of get a feeling right away that
Gil and his father kind of have in
452
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.039
a strange relationship. A Strange is
not the right word, is it not.
453
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:23.880
No, A strange would mean that
they don't interact. Oh okay,
454
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:29.079
no, I would call it a
strained strain strange, Yeah, yeah,
455
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:30.759
and without a doubt. I mean, I can tell you the difference.
456
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.160
I know it very well. The
difference be being estranged and strained. So
457
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.720
he's got a big surprise to the
family and that's what he's like, Okay,
458
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.319
everybody get in the big surprises here. And that's when we meet Gil's
459
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.599
younger brother, Larry, played by
Tom Holme, and Larry is absolutely the
460
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.839
black sheep of the family. Yeah, you could not have said that better.
461
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.960
Yeah, and we we get a
feeling quick because Gil goes to I
462
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.319
think it's is it Patty that he
says it too, that he's no,
463
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:56.480
it's I think it's one of his
sons that he's like, you know,
464
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.440
that's your that's your uncle. Don't
loan him money. Don't give him money.
465
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.920
Yeah, to a little little kid, I love, that's your uncle
466
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.559
over there. Don't give him anything, don't give him any money. So
467
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.559
that's when we also, you know, Larry's going around the room saying hi
468
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.119
to buddy from the trailer. He
goes up to his grandma and he's like,
469
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.480
are you getting smaller? And she's
like, I'm shrinking and he goes,
470
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.000
ah, bummer, my grandma shrank
quite a bit, Mina. I
471
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.960
think, yeah, I had a
couple of shrank Yeah, you're like,
472
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.279
my grandma slipt upside down like a
bath. So she never had that problem,
473
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:26.640
never had that problem. No,
No, my my my mother's mother,
474
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.440
Uh just got smaller and smaller and
smaller. And they were not big
475
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.640
ladies to begin with, they were
all pretty small. But yeah, she
476
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.960
was like four foot eight. I
think like legally, legally a little person.
477
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:44.839
Absolutely yeah, do you Even?
Movie? Will be right back.
478
00:29:52.319 --> 00:30:00.400
Welcome back to do You Even?
Movie. So Larry goes around room and
479
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:02.599
he's, you know, trying to
make peaces of everybody. And that's when
480
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.440
we see a kid peek in and
he's like, you know, I told
481
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.119
you to wait outside. And that's
when we meet his African American son,
482
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.279
Cool Yeah. Yeah, his name
is just Cool Cool yes, yeah,
483
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.880
and these cute little kid with a
big, big puffy afro. Very cute
484
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.400
kid. Stop. And that's when
they sit down to dinner and he tells
485
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.599
him that he got cool because he
was in Vegas. He was dating a
486
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.119
showgirl who they had kind of grown
apart, and then two months later she
487
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:27.920
came to him and said, this
is your son. I have to leave
488
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:32.079
the country because I shot someone.
So here's your son. So here's your
489
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:36.039
son. Here's your son. It's
a story as old as time itself.
490
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:37.799
And once again they're sitting at the
dinner table, they're all talking, and
491
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.359
everybody again is just kind of uncomfortable
around Larry. And we find out why
492
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.839
because Larry is back with another get
rich scheme, and this time it's hot,
493
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:48.240
Get rich quick, Get rich Quick, yes, and that's because he
494
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.440
has figured out a way to get
into hydroponics. And at first Nathan's like,
495
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.039
oh, may that's a good business, you know, are are you
496
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:57.039
using this this or this? And
He's like, Oh, that's that's discussion
497
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.279
for the guy in the lab coat. I'm just the salesman. Then yeah,
498
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.160
and he seems like he, you
know, he sounds like like a
499
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.160
guy who would know how to sell
things. Well, I mean, what
500
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.119
with getting a showgirl pregnant who shot
someone? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
501
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:12.680
it just seems like the kind of
guy you'd want to trust. You know,
502
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.440
you're the kind of guy you'd hand
your car keys to while you're taking
503
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.759
your pregnant wife into the emergency room. Yeah, exactly sure. And we
504
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.319
can see that Frank is really the
only one that embraces Larry, like he's
505
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:26.279
the one that kind of just tries
to to cheerlead for him because it's a
506
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.640
sun and he's he's hoping for the
best and whatnot. And suddenly the lights
507
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.119
go out of dinner, so everybody's
freaking out, and Gill's like, you
508
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.440
know, okay, well I'll go
find a flashlight and he goes into Helen's
509
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.359
room and he's like, you know, well the flash light's not working.
510
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.119
The lights turn back on, and
he's holding a vibrant Yeah, which I
511
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.519
mean, you know, you really
shouldn't keep your vibrator in a common area.
512
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.039
I wouldn't draw or but I mean, but you know, maybe,
513
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.559
I mean, times are tough,
and you know she's been dealing with some
514
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:53.920
with quite a dry spell. So
Diane West is having a rough time.
515
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.920
Yes, yes, So Gill and
Karen go to Kevin's meeting with the principal
516
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:01.799
and that's when they tell them that
Kevin is you know, Kevin's a bright
517
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:05.359
kid, but we don't think he
should return to school next fall. In
518
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.480
fact, we're thinking that they should
transfer him to a special school that deals
519
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:13.240
with emotional kids. Yeah. Apparently
he's extremely sensitive. Yeah, he gets
520
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:17.119
upset very easily. And they mentioned
that the teacher is basically spending twenty percent
521
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:21.640
of her time just working with him, with him in a classroom of thirty
522
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.440
eight, which is large classrooms.
Well, I mean, I know,
523
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:28.799
you didn't grow up in a vast
metropolis, and I had a small I
524
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.599
was in a smaller town outside of
Dayton, but I mean our classes were
525
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.640
very seldom thirty more than thirty.
We had at least twenty, maybe twenty
526
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.359
five. I mean that's considered a
pretty small class size. Yeah so,
527
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.519
but yeah, so saying that their
class is thirty eight kids, I mean,
528
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.640
that's a lot of kids that have
to be cared for. No,
529
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:50.920
it absolutely is. And that's when
Karen questions, you know, is it
530
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.480
because that he was their first kid? Like did they not get parenting right?
531
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:58.079
And that's when Steve Martin's character goes, well, she smoke grass.
532
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.880
She smoked like a ton of grass. I never spoke a while it was
533
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:04.160
pregnanty. He's like, in college, looked like a chimney. I thought
534
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:07.599
you were gonna leave me for a
reggae band. Yeah. So, Gil's
535
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.519
concerned also about the stigma of a
special school because he doesn't want Kevin to
536
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.799
be bullied. So like there,
you know, he says, we will
537
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:14.880
figure this out. You know,
we're not We're not gonna send him to
538
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.119
a public special school. It would
be a private institution. We'll figure out
539
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.480
the money and everything, and you
know, he tells the school basically like
540
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:22.400
we'll take care of this, don't
worry about it. And the principle is
541
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.200
kind of uneasy with that, and
she's like, all right, if that's
542
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:29.119
what you want. I mean,
they understand. I appreciated the level of
543
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.200
like direct honesty that Steve Martin's character
went with. I mean he literally she
544
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:35.640
just said like it's not a big
deal. He's like, the stigma is
545
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.720
real. Yeah. No, I
mean it's very sweet that he says that,
546
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:42.160
because as somebody that had to go
to a couple special programs because of
547
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:46.039
I was I've been learning disabilities with
a math especially. It wasn't great when
548
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.920
kids found out that I was going
to the Sylvan Learning Center. I you
549
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.079
should not have let me find out
about that. You knew that I did
550
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.000
not. You knew that I did
not know. I mean, I mean
551
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.960
I knew in my heart. Careful
what you say right now. I knew
552
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.759
in my heart that you were disabled
mentally. But I think we all do
553
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:08.480
this. Always had trouble with math. I'm actually really good at English.
554
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:15.880
Surprisingly, I see no evidence of
that. Uh, and you speaking around
555
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.079
me all the time. So now, poor crazy crazy, right, So
556
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.639
we Todd and Julie as they are
getting their pictures from the photo Matt,
557
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:28.840
except they've come to find out that
it's pictures from Julie's mom's most recent dinner
558
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:31.559
that she had with work people,
which means that Helen got the pictures.
559
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.800
Because Julie goes to the booth and
she's like, you have another envelope for
560
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.440
Buckman. He's like, oh,
yeah, we did, but they were
561
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.360
picked up. So we cut to
Helen at the house. This scene was
562
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:43.280
very funny, but it did feel
kind of out of place, almost a
563
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.159
little bit being a little too funny. I think it's because it's early on
564
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:49.800
in that you haven't gotten a full
idea as to what her life is like
565
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.719
yet, because she is a little
deeper with sure. So Helen's at the
566
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:57.840
house going through the pictures and Julie
comes home and Diane Weese in this part
567
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.039
is this look at the picture and
she's like, oh, this, this
568
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:01.840
one's going to be perfect for my
wallet, and just flipping through them,
569
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:05.039
commenting on them, and Julie's like, you know, it's not what you
570
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.599
think. And that's when she's like, you know, I recognize the room,
571
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.119
like you did this in my house, Like you had sex in my
572
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:13.239
house and took pictures of it.
And she's like, oh, and I
573
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.119
noticed it's todd because his face is
leaking a little bit in the shop of
574
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:19.679
these pictures. So they fight about
it, and that's when she's like,
575
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:22.239
you know, well, at least
I'm not at least I'm somebody having sex
576
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:23.559
in this house. Yeah, at
least somebody's having sex in this house,
577
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:27.320
which pisses dian Wee's character off,
and she's like, you know, how
578
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.199
could you say that to me?
You know, I'm having sex with machines
579
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.199
because I can't trust men. Basically, your father left me for somebody.
580
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.079
And that's when we find out that
they split, and that it was because
581
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:40.079
the dad found somebody else and also
didn't want to give up the life to
582
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.119
basically be with his kids. Well, he had more kids. He had
583
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.159
more kids with another person. And
he's also a successful dentist because that will
584
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.000
come up later well, and she
mentioned early on that he doesn't want to
585
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.079
work on his own kids anymore.
Yeah, So Julie leaves, telling her
586
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.360
mom that she's in love with Todd
and she's going to go live with him.
587
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.320
He's got a job as a painter, they're going to get a house
588
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.000
together, and that's when, right
as she's packing up, Gary comes home
589
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.159
and she's like, you know,
carry your sister's leaving. And he's like,
590
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.840
oh okay, Diane Weis goes you
see, you've upset your brother too.
591
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:07.360
You've upset your brother. He just
like, all right, you just
592
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:13.079
walk past. So Helen runs after
her, because when Julie goes to leave,
593
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:14.519
Helen's like, you know, if
you walk out the door, don't
594
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.719
you come back. You know,
we're done. And Julie goes up the
595
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:20.360
door and she chases after. She's
like, honey, if it doesn't work
596
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.920
out, you always have a home
here. Yeah. Yeah, she she's
597
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.679
definitely I've I experienced that as a
kid. My mom Uh we never fought
598
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.320
really, but my mother and my
sister would fight some. Yeah, and
599
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.960
that was kind of my mom's you
know, she would get very emotional and
600
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:37.000
but like, you know, three
seconds later it'd be like, no,
601
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.800
no, no, I'm still I'm
still your mom, so you know,
602
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:39.960
be mad, and then I'd be
like, but you know, I'm here.
603
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.880
You know, that actually really resonated
with me quite a bit, because,
604
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:46.719
yeah, she's like basically begging her
not to leave and making a reminder,
605
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.519
if you need anything, you call
me, If you need whatever,
606
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.119
you call me. And I found
that very relatable. And very realistic.
607
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.679
It's I love the scene because it
just the switch is so quick and it's
608
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:59.000
just like, yeah, I've seen
moms do that before, have you.
609
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:04.239
I have ort my mom, but
I've seen moms do that. Why are
610
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.400
you staring at me? I don't
know, mister, your family's still married.
611
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.159
God. So Frank and Larry are
in Frank's garage as he shows off
612
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.159
his car, because that's one thing
I forgot to mention is that when Larry
613
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.280
comes in, he gives his dad
a car, so we get we get
614
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.119
an impression that his dad's really into
cars, and that is proven in the
615
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.280
next scene where he spent three years
working on a really nice car and got
616
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:23.800
it completely renovated. He's uh,
and he's like showing it off to Larry,
617
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.400
and that's when Marilyn, his wife, comes out, and she's like,
618
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:29.480
you know, cool is done with
his lunch. You know, I
619
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:30.880
was thinking you guys could take him
out, and Tom, yeah. Tom
620
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:32.639
Hols's character is like, no,
no, it's fine, just plopping in
621
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:36.400
front of the TV, like we're
busy in here. Yeah, plopping in
622
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:37.440
front of the TV. That's what
he does anyway, That's what he does
623
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.360
anyway. So that's when Larry expresses
to his dad that, you know,
624
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.360
he has the big plan and that
he may need a little money to get
625
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.199
back on his feet, and it's
into the tune of three grand. Yeah,
626
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.639
he does the thing where he's like, no more than three grand,
627
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.039
no more than three times? Yeah, yeah, two grand, no more
628
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:59.280
than three. So we cut to
Nathan and Patty as they are practicing karate
629
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.880
in the front yard, because when
Larry was at the dinner table with them,
630
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:06.719
I did forget to mention that the
grandma was normally staying with them,
631
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:08.599
but she is going to stay with
Nathan and Patty for a little bit.
632
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:12.880
So Tom holds his character Larry can
move in well throughout the movie, she
633
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.519
kind of gets bounced from house to
house. Yeah. So they're practicing karate
634
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.320
in the yard and Susan comes home
saying that she has an idea for a
635
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:22.320
trip to Mexico, and Nathan's excited
and he's, you know, like this
636
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.480
is so great, and he's like, hey, you excuse me. Susan
637
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:29.039
is like, you know, we
could leave Patty with Gil, and he's
638
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.599
like, I don't know about leaving
Patty with Gil, Like I don't know
639
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.639
if that's gonna be good for her. He's like, hey, why don't
640
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:36.119
we take her with Like this would
be a great opportunity to go ahead and
641
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:37.880
get her instituted on Spanish and like, you know, start her learning even
642
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.400
more so. And Susan's like,
you know, I thought it could just
643
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.440
be us, and he's like,
it will be. We'll get two bedrooms
644
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:49.400
and then she says which one.
But one thing it's important to mention is
645
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:53.480
he looks at Gil's kids as like
he's afraid that they'll catch like that his
646
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:59.000
daughter will catch stupid from them.
Basically, that's like his big fear,
647
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.880
which makes him hard to like.
Well, because they had an early exchange
648
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:07.239
before the dinner where he was showing
Gil that Patty can recognize like the square
649
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.199
root of what like eight eighty nine
hundred six or something like that, with
650
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.000
drawings of dots the square root of
this, And it was funny because they
651
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.719
cut back to Justin Gilson and he's
eating the dots off the page, the
652
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:21.320
dots right off the paper, needing
him. So at the office, gil
653
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.400
finds out that he didn't make this
partnership that he's counting on and that they're
654
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.920
looking at another guy, and he
opens up to his boss about how,
655
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:28.719
like, you know, I can't
put him more work right now. I
656
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:30.159
can basically do what I'm doing because
my son, you know, I need
657
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.400
to spend more time with my son. I feel like I'm overworking in it.
658
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:35.880
My son needs attention right now.
And his boss is like, you
659
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.199
know, well, you know that's
your decision, but like we haven't decided
660
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.239
on partner ship yet, so you
still have time to figure this out.
661
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.199
So Gil leaves and we see Kevin
and Gill at the movies and they're hanging
662
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:46.639
out playing arcade machines, and that's
when Kevin asked, you know, Dad,
663
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:50.239
why am I seeing a psychologist?
And Gil tells him it's nothing to
664
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:52.199
worry about, you know. He
takes his mind off at as best he
665
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:53.679
can. He's like, you know, some people just go through problems.
666
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:55.440
Sometimes we're just trying to do what's
best for you. And hey, you
667
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:59.239
got your birthday coming up. Yeah, and he's like, you know,
668
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:00.599
can Cowboy Dan on my birthday?
And he's like, who's Cowboy Dan?
669
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:06.239
And he's a Western impersonator that does
balloon animals right right right. So we
670
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:09.039
see Frank then showing cool his car, and suddenly Larry is thrown out of
671
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.119
a speeding car right outside the house. Yeah. I love the way he
672
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.000
recovers too. He just rolls under
the grass and just gets up. Hey
673
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.639
Dad, Yeah, is dinner ready? And it's really cool because this is
674
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:22.760
the first time that we see Robarb's
character in Cool talking to each other because
675
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.920
Robarb says that hilarious line because when
he was talking to Larry in the garage
676
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.079
he talks about how like, this
is a car that I got laid in
677
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:30.800
for my first time. He says
the same thing to Cool and he's like,
678
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.239
not cool, that's a story for
another time. He's like five or
679
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.440
something. So he gets thrown out
of the speeding car, and Julie returns
680
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:43.639
home brought by the police for panhandling, confessing that she left Todd because he
681
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:46.239
changed his mind about the house painting
house painting plan and that he's going to
682
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:50.119
race cars instead. She didn't want
any part of that and told him it
683
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.280
was stupid, and Todd said that
he was not going to let some bitch
684
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.239
ruin his life. I mean,
when you're right, you're right. So
685
00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:00.760
we see Dian Weist and Julie have
this really seen together, and she's like
686
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:01.519
no, let's go eat a lot
of ice cream. And they're, you
687
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:05.199
know, going over the things,
and that's when Todd rushes in and he's
688
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:06.800
like, you know, we need
to talk and she's like no, no,
689
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:07.519
get away from me, Todd,
like you know, I don't want
690
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:09.840
anything to do with you. She
runs out of the house, and of
691
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:14.519
course Helen is right behind him,
smacking him with the newspaper because like he's
692
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.920
heard her little girl, yeah,
until he says you're my wife. You're
693
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:21.199
my wife? What? Then she's
like she turns and starts hitting her daughter.
694
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:23.239
They got married two days ago.
Yeah, of course they did,
695
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.079
because why wouldn't she So she starts
hitting her and that's when Todd confesses they
696
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:30.039
got married, and he says,
you know, I was under pressure from
697
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:32.280
my brothers, you know, but
I told them like it's you and me,
698
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:35.599
like I'm not doing that anymore.
I'm gonna go do the house painting
699
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:37.960
plan. So everything's on the up
and up now. Yeah, happy,
700
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.920
confinitely. So we cut back to
Gil at Kevin's baseball practices. We see
701
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:45.039
Gil is taking over the little league
coaching. He assigns Kevin to second base,
702
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:46.159
telling him, you know, don't
worry about it. The best thing
703
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.719
out there is to go and have
fun, because the kids aren't really keen
704
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.360
to Kevin playing second base, especially
that one kid, which actually turns out
705
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.800
to be Clint Howard's son. Yeah. Yeah, that kid's a little shit.
706
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.400
He is a little shit. The
apple doesn't fall fire from the shit
707
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:00.960
tree. So he tells him,
you know, there's gonna be catches you
708
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.000
catch, and there's gonna be catches
you don't catch, you know, just
709
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:05.039
go out there and have fun with
it. That was one of my favorite
710
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.599
modes of the whole movie. Yeah, he just takes a moment with the
711
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:08.400
son. He says, hey,
they'll be catch as you catching, they'll
712
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.679
be catches you don't catch. Just
go out there and play. Yeah,
713
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:15.079
and his son just lights up,
lights up and is so happy to get
714
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.400
back in the game. And that's
when Gil fantasizes at being at Kevin's graduation.
715
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:22.199
I think it's college because he's like, you know, we're welcoming the
716
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.480
valedictorian to the stage, and like
Kevin gets on the stage, adult Kevin,
717
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:27.719
and it's just like, you know, I can't do anything but thank
718
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.360
my father for you know, inspiring
me and telling me I could do it.
719
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.559
And so Steve Martin stands up,
who's completely an old makeup but they've
720
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:37.599
got him so old it out in
this shot and the whole audience is applauding
721
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:40.519
for him, and we just kind
of see the Steve Martin's taking this all
722
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:44.280
in. But that's when they cut
back to reality and they need one more
723
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.519
out to win the game, and
Kevin unfortunately misses the pop fly and the
724
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:51.679
team immediately turns against them. So
then Gil has a new nightmare as we
725
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:54.280
see Kevin has climbed the roof of
this building and is shooting a rifle at
726
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.920
people. Yeah, it's based on
the clock tower shops that happened a few
727
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:01.480
years earlier. What does he shout? My dad? Uh? Oh god,
728
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:05.440
I can't remember, but like he's
like, Kevin, I I told
729
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:07.119
you, like so's it's gonna be
okay. Hey, that's a nice shot.
730
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:10.119
That's a good shot he made.
He's holding a bullhorn and the bullhorn
731
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:13.280
gets hit by a bullet. He
goes, great shot and he turns to
732
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.000
the cops and he's like, it's
important to positive reinforce them, and he
733
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:22.079
also starts singing the diarrhea song to
the megaphone to come back. So at
734
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.039
the how did that diarrhea song go? Oh God? And I have the
735
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:28.400
page still up? No, I'm
just kidding three minutes of it in this
736
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.119
in this episode already. So at
the Huffingers, Nathan finds out that Susan
737
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:35.400
poked a hole in her diaphragm because
he takes her diaphragm and pours water through
738
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.079
it, showing her that he knows. Well, I mean, that's not
739
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:42.679
a very smooth move. Take it
from me, your lifestyle coach here at
740
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:45.239
do you even movie? It's not
okay to trap people in a pregnancy?
741
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:49.920
M hmm, it isn't. It's
not so Susan wants to have it.
742
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.239
Where's your counterpoint? Oh, I
got no counterpoint. I thought you'd be
743
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.440
like, actually, it's pretty good. No counterpoint, Okay, I've had
744
00:43:54.719 --> 00:44:01.159
never mind whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa. No, why would you even
745
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:07.559
start. I had a scare once
that turned out that it was not a
746
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:09.639
scare at all, and she was
just trying to get me to stay with
747
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:13.679
her. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, that's not that shocking, honestly,
748
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:22.320
especially with the genre of woman thanks
Bud. Thanks how Enrique is right
749
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:28.440
and also handsome. I I like
that. I went with genre of women.
750
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:36.920
So Susan wants to have another kid
and Nathan does not. So we
751
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:39.079
come back to Todd and Julie and
they are now living at Helen's and Gary
752
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:42.119
is like, you know, hey, it's getting a little crowded here.
753
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.800
So I was thinking, Mom,
if it's okay, I could go stay
754
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.880
with dad. This scene broke my
goddamn heart. Yeah, this is hard.
755
00:44:50.960 --> 00:45:01.159
Do you Even? Movie will be
right back, welcome back to do
756
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:08.440
You Even movie? So she's like, you know, well, if you
757
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:10.639
want to go stay with your father, you know, I'll give you his
758
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:14.000
number, and she's like, he's
probably at the office right now. So
759
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:16.800
we see Gary call his dad and
we see him ask for his father,
760
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:21.880
and at first his father thinks that
he's another son. Yeah, and he's
761
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:23.079
like, no, Dad, it's
against Gary, your other son. He
762
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:25.639
literally says that, and that's what
he tells him. You know, I
763
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:28.320
was thinking, you know, maybe
I could come stay with you for a
764
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:29.639
bit. And he's like, oh, at least like, you know,
765
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:34.559
two months, And we hear silence
and he's like, oh, okay,
766
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:39.000
hangs up the phone and that's when
he tells his mom that he does not
767
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:42.320
think that staying with him would be
a good idea right now. And we
768
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:46.159
and Helen watches this in horror and
I mean, yeah, well she in
769
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:52.960
my opinion, she watches it with
a like a hopeful attitude, but she
770
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:59.360
just can see her son just kind
of have his dreams crushed when he gets
771
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.719
crushed. I mean she literally looks
at it like shit. So she,
772
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:05.840
you know, tries to rush to
him, but Gary runs out of the
773
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:07.480
house. So then we cut to
Kevin's birthday party, which is in full
774
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.519
swing. Kids are having a great
time, Steve Martin showing the kid's magic
775
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:15.000
tricks. The adults are talking and
one of the one of my favorite scenes
776
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.440
of this is Susan and Patty arrive
at the party with Nathan, and Patty
777
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:22.920
is encouraged by Susan to go play
with Justin because Justin's just in the front
778
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:27.000
yard spinning around like a kid.
Yeah, just spinning in circles because it's
779
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.320
fun. And Patty is like,
you know, well, what's he doing.
780
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:30.599
She's like, he's having fun,
and she's like, that's fun.
781
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:34.440
And Nathan, in his dickish move
is like, I don't think so,
782
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:39.719
how would you know you was spinning
circles? So Gil traumatizes her then because
783
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:44.840
Patty comes over as he's doing the
thumb magic trick of removing his thumb and
784
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.199
Patty is traumatized by it and runs
to her father. Ure's the ever loving
785
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.840
shit out of her, Which I
love that because that, to me suggested
786
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.360
that she deeply lacks imagination. Yeah, because Nathan literally looks at Stee Martin
787
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.440
and he's like, nice, It's
like, dude, it's a freaking it's
788
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.800
a party. Kids. It's this, you know, it's it's fucking gonna
789
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:07.559
get it right on the camera.
It's this. It's fucking this. So
790
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:12.880
Susan confronts Nathan about Patty's situation,
and Susan reminisces is about their earlier times
791
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.320
when Nathan was, you know,
really in love with her and then their
792
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.000
passion was big, and that she
always thought that he would be a good
793
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.159
father. But you know, asking
him if he thinks he's doing this right,
794
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:22.440
and Nathan, you know, he's
like, you know, well,
795
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:27.599
Patty's gonna be prepared for life and
she's gonna be smart, and Susan just
796
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.719
kind of walks off. She she
needs to go vent to uh the other
797
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:34.440
family. So that's when Gil tries
to burst a piniata. So he gets
798
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.719
the kids ready for a pinata,
has all of them beat it throughout their
799
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.599
separate turns, and then we see
he has not broken it. So Gil
800
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:42.840
take a swing at it, yeah, and still can't break it, whipping
801
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:45.320
it and beating it, throws it
to the ground, starts beating it,
802
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.079
and then we cut back to one
of the funniest shots where he's literally sawing
803
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:50.719
it in half. Yeah, he
has a hacksaw and he's trying to cut
804
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:53.159
it in half. So there's a
mix up of the party because Kevin comes
805
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:55.280
in and he's like, you know, where's Cowboy Dan? And that's when
806
00:47:55.280 --> 00:48:00.159
the doorbell rings and a stripper arrives. We makes she's she's a stripper because
807
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.480
she even says she is, Well, I think maybe you're being a little
808
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.079
judgmental, And that's when we find
out that the party place screwed up the
809
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.800
because it's one of my favorite lines. They screwed up the notes for who
810
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:13.840
was supposed to go to who because
apparently the guy Cowboy Dan showed up to
811
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:19.760
where the stripper was supposed to be
and got beaten, so he's so he's
812
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:21.960
not gonna make it. So Kevin's
like, you know, Cowboy Dan's not
813
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.199
coming, and Gil, in the
most sweetest and sentimental moment, is like,
814
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:29.199
no, Cowboy Dan will be here. And that's when we see Gil
815
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.360
has dressed up as a cowboy and
he is Cowboy Gill entertaining the kids,
816
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:37.840
telling them violent stories. Well they
just love it. He's like, I
817
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:39.639
shot a hole in him this big, and the bigger the hole gets,
818
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:43.000
the more the kids are like cheering. He's like, and their guts wherever
819
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.239
they're lifting their guts roll him.
They love it. He's like, that's
820
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.000
what I do. I blow a
big hole in somebody and then I step
821
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.760
in their guts and the kids are
just like yeah, hell yeah. And
822
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:54.840
that's when he starts doing ballued animals. He's like, here's your lower intestine,
823
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.000
which is Steve Marton, by the
way, was is a real life
824
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.280
magician. So you see him do
blue animal on the movie like he and
825
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:05.119
he's really good at it. You
ever notice how weird he looks when he
826
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:08.079
smiles. Yeah, it's the only
thing that gets me. I get weird
827
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:12.760
out of vis want to watch smiles. He just looks like he's so uncomfortable.
828
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:16.119
You ever seen the thriller he did
in the early two thousands called Novacane.
829
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:22.000
No, he plays a dentist that
gets involved in a murder. Really,
830
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:23.559
dude, it's good. It's weird. It's good though, but he
831
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:27.760
he doesn't really and you never brought
that to me. I haven't, dude.
832
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:30.119
That movie just came into my brain
just now when you said the smiling
833
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.719
thing, because the cover is him
with like with a mouth open and do
834
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:36.199
it and like doing the dental work, and he's just smiling, and it's
835
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:40.280
creepy. Okay, so we might
have to check down to track down Novacane.
836
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:44.000
So he wins the party over,
like the kids have water gun fight
837
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:45.400
with him. And the last thing
he does is he brings out to Kevin's
838
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:47.760
cake. But of course he's riding
a horse while he does it, and
839
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:51.079
Karen walks over and she's like,
you know, will you please get off
840
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:52.519
the horse and he's like, no, no, I've got to I've got
841
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:53.159
to make my exit. So he's
like, you know, I'll see your
842
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:57.039
kids later, rides off on the
horse, only for the horse to jump
843
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:01.840
the hedge and knock him off quite
a fall. Luckily he didn't break his
844
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:07.679
neck. So that's when we see
later that night that Kevin is in bed
845
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:09.360
and he asked his dad, you
know, hey, dad, do you
846
00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:12.519
think I can come work with you? And he's like, well you want
847
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:14.000
to do that? He's like,
so I can see you every day.
848
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:15.440
So Kevin's as happy as can be. Like the party went off with that
849
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:19.559
hitch. Yeah, it was a
really wonderful little moment. And that's when
850
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.159
we cut to a dentist office as
we see a window smashed and we see
851
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:27.000
a person go into the office and
just start trashing it completely. And Helen
852
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:30.440
then rushes into her home, calling
out Gary's name, breaking into his room
853
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:34.039
because the one thing is that Gary
has a padlock on his door to keep
854
00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:37.360
everybody out. Yeah, padlock on
the outside, which I you know,
855
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:42.880
well, but I want to mention
when they show the scene where the dentist
856
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:45.519
office is just being smashed in pieces, it's done POVV. Yeah, so
857
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:49.639
you don't see who's doing it.
Yeah, And I got the sense that
858
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.360
they were trying to make us think
maybe it was the mom the mom for
859
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:57.559
a minute, but then that gets
dashed pretty quickly. Yeah, because otherwise
860
00:50:57.599 --> 00:51:00.360
why not show who's doing it?
Yeah, but that was just a thought
861
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:01.960
I had as I was watching.
As I was like, are they trying
862
00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:06.000
to make us think Diane Wete did
it? Which I wouldn't be I mean,
863
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:07.199
you know, what's the saying about, you know, a woman's scorn?
864
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:09.880
Yeah, you know, I would
not be shocked if I mean,
865
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:15.320
you know I I yeah, they're
not wrong in my childhood. I know
866
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:20.960
for a fact, I don't believe
my mother watches the show. Stories There
867
00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:25.159
are none, there are talking publicly. Yes, I am almost positive there
868
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:30.000
at least two times that my mother's
friends talked her out of really taking care
869
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:34.960
of my my dad being a prick
so and not while they were married or
870
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.239
something. I mean, I mean
like ten years later, and this is
871
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:43.000
all allegedly. I mean, the
statute of limitations is up because she never
872
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.519
did murder him. So, but
that man, I mean, I like
873
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:50.599
to think that it's like breaking bad, like my dad like drank some milk
874
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:54.119
and closed the fridge and never knew
he was so close to so close to
875
00:51:54.199 --> 00:52:00.760
that in his home in New Hampshire
too, like Jesus by plane tickets,
876
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:05.119
cash wear a wig. You know
what, I what I love about the
877
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:07.920
scene with the POV is that it
throws you at first, because I mean
878
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.719
the fantasies that we've had, like
with Martin's character, like with his dream
879
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:15.239
about Kevin and whatnot. It was
funny because you cut to him eventually,
880
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:17.440
but the POV it kind of throws
you at first. You're to realize,
881
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:22.519
is this somebody's nightmare? And then
when you see him smash the picture,
882
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:25.679
you're just like, oh shit.
So she comes in, she breaks into
883
00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:28.920
his room, getting the lock,
and she just starts looking through his room,
884
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:31.000
which his room is pretty trashed,
and she goes into his closet and
885
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:35.199
at first she doesn't see anything,
and then she reaches up, pulls down
886
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:38.159
a paper bag and dumps out three
video cassettes which are Back to the Future
887
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:44.079
Dragnet and I can't remember the third
one. Well, I think two of
888
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:49.960
them had Dan Aykroyd Dragnet Back to
the Future and come on, you know
889
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:53.400
it. I cannot recall down.
I'm sorry because I was more focused on
890
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:57.400
what was actually inside the VHS tapes. As she lifts up back to the
891
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:01.719
future and wet, wild and ready
drops to the floor, which I mean
892
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:05.159
a classic of course, So Dave, why don't you give us the pertinent
893
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:07.960
beats on wet Wild and Ready?
I think my favorite part of Wet Wild
894
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.199
al Ready is, even though the
tape clearly says that, Diane West is
895
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:14.199
like, oh well, I must
see what's on this and pops it into
896
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:19.880
the BCR right as her daughter and
grandmother come home up and Gary comes home,
897
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.519
so that's because that's the best thing
walking and she's like, what are
898
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:24.840
you watching? And she's like,
oh, the great Grandma's like she needs
899
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:30.840
a man, yeah badly. Yeah, she's so she's so bored with his
900
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:35.360
sex life that now she's watching pornography
and her son's bedroom and that's when she
901
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:37.639
tells him that it's Gary. And
Gary then comes in. He's like,
902
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:39.079
you know, did you get in
my room? And Helen tells him that,
903
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:43.079
you know, she tells like Susan
state Graham in the other room,
904
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.800
and that's when she tells him,
Gary, you left the hammer with your
905
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:47.880
initials carved into it. Your dad
called yeah, And he tries for saying
906
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:52.199
he's like maybe somebody stole it.
She's like stop, yeah, stop with
907
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:54.400
this now. So she tells him
that he's a great kid and that he
908
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:57.960
needs to learn to just say the
hell with his dad. And then she's
909
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.519
like, you know, that's actually
something we both need to do, probably,
910
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:04.599
which I think is a little tricky. Yeah, I don't. But
911
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:07.440
but then again, we never meet
the dad. Yeh. I assume should
912
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:12.840
have been played by Daniel Stern.
He was the dad in My Blue Heaven.
913
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:15.239
Yeah, that's what made me think
of it. But it does sound
914
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:20.159
like his dad's quite a piece of
crap. It's tough, you know,
915
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.280
when you're a kid and your dad
goes off and makes a new family to
916
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:28.719
feel welcome. Yeah, it is. It is tough, and you also
917
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:35.039
feel like you're a mistake, like
you know, like this is a better
918
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:38.400
try try again, have some more
kids, maybe they'll be better than you.
919
00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:43.159
It's it's very easy to feel that
way, especially if your dad then
920
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.719
just doesn't really take a ton of
interest. I will say, and my
921
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:51.440
heart really broke for the for the
character because it was clear that his dad
922
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:53.360
lives in the same town and that's
really cruel. Yeah, you know,
923
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:55.079
at least when I was growing up, I could be like, well,
924
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:59.400
dad has a whole other family,
you know. Thirteen Hours away. Yeah,
925
00:54:59.400 --> 00:55:00.360
I mean, because that's the thing
is I mean, Gary would have
926
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.360
would not have been able to get
a ride over there, probably, so
927
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:05.559
he would have had to probably go
on foot. Yeah, he probably would
928
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:07.880
have had to walk in the house. So so, but I mean,
929
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.719
you know that's and that's the thing. So then on top of all of
930
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:13.679
these bad things that have been happening
to him, now his mom's found his
931
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.880
poor no stash him in front of
everybody, and then she asked him,
932
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:20.960
you know, is there anything you
want to talk to me about? And
933
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:22.960
luckily Todd comes into the room.
Well she's referring to the birds and the
934
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:25.480
birds and the bees. Yes,
And that's when Tod comes into the room
935
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:28.440
and he's like, hey, has
anybody seen Julian And she's like, your
936
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:30.760
wife is still in school. She
has cheerleading practice at school. He's like,
937
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:37.000
bitchin. So that's when Todd goes
out of the room and Julie uh
938
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:40.119
uh yeah. Helen goes after him
and she looks at him for a second
939
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:43.440
and that's when you see that she's
gonna send Todd in there to talk to
940
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:45.000
him. Yeah, which I thought
was a great moment, So good,
941
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:50.039
you know, because that's what the
kid needs. He needs a male role
942
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:53.079
model, well not even a role
model, he needs a male figure figure
943
00:55:53.079 --> 00:55:57.400
in the life, just to talk
to, uh, to know that what
944
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:00.760
they're doing is right. Uh.
It's very hard growing up being a boy
945
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:05.599
in a house full of women.
That's how I grew up most of my
946
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:07.679
childhood especially. Yeah, the best
part is it was it was in my
947
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.639
teen years that it was literally a
house full of women, which is the
948
00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:16.199
most awful time to to not have
a male figure around, is as you're
949
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:20.840
going through puberty and everything. I
remember how, like, learning how to
950
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:25.440
shave was a nightmare. I literally
got advice from a guy at my mom's
951
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:29.559
work on how to shave, because
I mean, what else was I supposed
952
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:35.199
to do? Yeah, you know, I so my parents' trial separation occurred
953
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:40.079
when I was fourteen or fifteen,
But you saw your dad still and I
954
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:42.719
stayed with dad every now and then. But yeah, I mean I was
955
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:45.639
in the house of mom and mom
and my sister for I think it was
956
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:47.519
about about a year or so.
Yeah, I mean that's one year is
957
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:50.800
not that bad. But I but
I get what you're saying. I mean,
958
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:53.360
it's just it's a tough. H
it's a tough spot to be in.
959
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:59.239
Also, my mom's buddy who helped
me learn how to shave, motherfucker
960
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:00.480
was old school as shit. It. He was like really old yeah,
961
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:05.079
and he was like and he was
like, don't waste your money on He
962
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.440
really did sound like that. He
was like, don't waste your money on
963
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:13.039
aftershave, it's a ripoff. Just
use isopropyle alcohol. You want to talk
964
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:16.119
about some home alone fucking slap your
cheeks and screamed. You could see that.
965
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:22.480
I could see that. The irony
is I still do that. I
966
00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:27.280
know you do because it was well, it does work, but it's just
967
00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:30.079
how I learned. So I was
like, this is the most painful way
968
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.239
you could do this, and then
I just kept doing it for it.
969
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:37.239
You know, you're also the guy
that told me mouthwash isn't effective unless you
970
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.360
actually have a stinging feeling even after
you spit it out. I mean,
971
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:45.440
I mean that may be old news
now, but but I was always under
972
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:49.159
the impression that like listerine burned like
a goddamn son of a bitch because it
973
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:53.960
works, and like that minty scope
crap didn't do anything. The only mouthwash
974
00:57:54.039 --> 00:58:00.559
is not supposed to burn is the
mouthwash with fluoride. If floride's burning you,
975
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:02.480
you have serious problems. Yeah,
that probably would be an issue.
976
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:06.519
So that's when Todd comes back out. And if you want to talk about
977
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.199
one of the best scenes with Keanu
Reeves, it's right here because he comes
978
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:12.079
out and he asked Helen, you
know, can can I speak candidly?
979
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:13.840
And she's like, you know,
yeah, by all means, and he's
980
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:16.880
like, dude's messed up. Little
dude's messed up. And he goes on
981
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:20.039
to tell him that, like,
you know, he got his first boner
982
00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:23.519
recently and since then he's been slapping
his salami a lot, like he's competing
983
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:29.639
and and like he's going for a
record. It's great because it's so endearing,
984
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:32.360
while at the same time he's not
at all as sensitive as he hopes
985
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:35.320
he's being, because he like says, a boner. He's like, you
986
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:37.440
know what a boner is, right, and she's like, pretty, I'm
987
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:39.719
pretty sure, I know, yeah
you know, and yeah. So he
988
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:43.679
basically says like he told me this, and I told him, Hey,
989
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.079
that's what little dudes do. And
he was really happy, smile happy,
990
00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:50.039
and yeah, that's all. He
says, like, yeah, I didn't
991
00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.920
even the little dude had teeth so
good. It's a really great little moment
992
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:55.960
where it's like he just needed to
know that he wasn't a fucking degenerate.
993
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:00.639
Well, and he's still like Dave, yes exactly. He seals the deal
994
00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:02.639
in this scene too, because he
tells Helen, you know, he's like,
995
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:05.639
you know some people you are you
know, if you have a if
996
00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:07.000
you have a dog or you know, hella to catch a fish, you
997
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:15.639
have to have a license any any
uh dam it's them, he said,
998
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:20.000
butt ramming something can be a parent, that could be a dad, could
999
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:22.960
be a dad. Yeah, because
that's what she basically, you know,
1000
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:24.599
says like, you know, he
hasn't really had a role model, and
1001
00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:27.480
that's when he says, you know, well, yeah, I know what
1002
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:30.639
that's like. And then he says
that sentence and it's just like you get
1003
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:32.360
a really sense of that Keanu is
gonna be good for this kid. You
1004
00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:35.480
get a sense of it. You
mean, like when he says that the
1005
00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:39.880
man who lived in the house with
him used to flick flick cigarette, Wake
1006
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:44.000
up, asshole and make me my
breakfast. So Frank goes to the garage
1007
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:45.840
the next day and he finds that
his car is missing and that there's no
1008
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:49.719
Larry. So he then goes to
a Chuck E Cheese place where he's meeting
1009
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.119
up with Gil, Karen and the
kids, and Kevin has been bullied by
1010
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.360
a kid that apparently took his quarters. And also Kevin realizes that he left
1011
00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:58.719
his retainer on the table and now
it's no longer there, and he just
1012
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:00.159
starts freaking out, making a scene
in the restaurant. Now, I'm gonna
1013
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:04.559
tell you something right now. Yea
losing a retainer and when you're killed,
1014
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.480
that's no joke, did you.
I did have a retainer, but I
1015
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:09.559
had, I had. I had
a couple of things. I had the
1016
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:12.519
one you had to crank with a
key and whatnot. And you had a
1017
01:00:12.519 --> 01:00:15.320
pallet spreader. Yeah, well you
can't take that out. You can't take
1018
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:16.280
it out. But no, oh
no, it was a retainer ship I
1019
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:19.079
forgot for a something. Yeah,
I when I when I got my bracest
1020
01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:20.679
off, I had my retainer.
And yeah, I did lose it a
1021
01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:23.119
couple of times. Oh my god, I've screamed at not lost, as
1022
01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:27.119
in like it was gone, it
had fallen behind the bed and I did
1023
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:30.000
not know it was there because it
was on my nightstand. But I gave
1024
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:32.920
my parents a heart attack and got
yelled at for it. Yeah, because
1025
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:37.760
they are like two hundred dollars.
Two hundred, that's cute for a retainer.
1026
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:39.599
Oh god, it was like five. That's just what they told you.
1027
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:43.159
Did I have? Either way,
I know what a retainer costs.
1028
01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:45.800
Trust me. Well, this is
also this is also eighty nine and they
1029
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:49.119
say it's two hundred dollars then too. Yeah, but I'm I I know
1030
01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:53.440
because literally I've bought a new retainer
how recent six years? Okay, fair
1031
01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:58.119
enough? Yeah, I know it
was about two hundred dollars. Oh mine
1032
01:00:58.199 --> 01:01:02.079
was made of gold. That's probably
one. Oh it was a golden It's
1033
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:08.079
very similar to the dog golden retriever
is Do You Even? Movie? Will
1034
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:23.199
be right back, Welcome back to
Do You Even? Movie. He freaks
1035
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:25.320
out making a scene in the restaurant. They're trying to calm him down,
1036
01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:30.360
and that's when they have Frank and
his wife take Kevin home and we see
1037
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:34.480
that Helen, Eric's that Karen and
Gil are in the back of this restaurant
1038
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:37.199
going through all the trash cans,
Yeah, they're they're digging through and and
1039
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:42.079
and it's disgusting. Yeah. And
they have a nice dialogue where they're talking
1040
01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:44.920
about, you know, why is
he so nervous? While Martin is like
1041
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:47.199
rubbing his hands like crazy. Gil
is like, you know, he's not
1042
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:50.280
getting better, is he? And
she's like, what did you think that
1043
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:52.320
coaching little league and throwing him an
amazing birthday party was going to fix it?
1044
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:53.800
And he's like, no, I
didn't think that, And he's just
1045
01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:55.920
washing his hands. He's like,
yeah, yeah, I did well.
1046
01:01:55.960 --> 01:01:59.119
Then he's like, where does he
get all this? Where does he get
1047
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:02.480
being so so neurotic? And he's
super neurotic, super rod And I really
1048
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:06.159
connected with this part of the movie
the most, believe it or not,
1049
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:12.639
because not only am I a latchkey
abandoned by my father, but I was
1050
01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:15.400
a deeply neurotic child. I could
see that. Yeah, thank goodness that
1051
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:20.960
didn't follow me in your adulthood,
not at all. Yeah, and you're
1052
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:23.000
welcome, hurry friend. For ten
years, I've picked up on things,
1053
01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:27.079
but also you've picked up on things
of me. I try not to,
1054
01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.440
so try to forget. So Frank
takes Cool home and he or take Yeah,
1055
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:35.039
is taking Cool home with his wife, and that's when he pulls up
1056
01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:37.800
and sees that Larry is putting his
car back, trying to make it seem
1057
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:40.719
like it was there the entire time. Yeah, and that's when he's like,
1058
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:44.280
take Cool in the house. So
he goes in the garage and he
1059
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:45.239
goes to shut the door because Larry's
like, you know, hey, I
1060
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:47.719
was taking out to get appraise to
know how much work you put into it.
1061
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:50.920
And he's like, do you think
I'm a schmuck? You were taking
1062
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:52.480
my car to sell it? Yeah, because he asked me. He's like,
1063
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:54.559
you know what I you know,
the appraisal. I just need to
1064
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.599
have the ownership papers, you know, do you have those? My chance?
1065
01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:00.000
So Larry's just being a full on
shit right now. Yeah, and
1066
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:04.679
that's when he finally reveals what was
going on with that car and everything.
1067
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:08.280
Yeah. He reveals that he owes
twenty six thousand dollars to kill him if
1068
01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:10.880
he doesn't guess it, and that
that three grand his dad gave him he
1069
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:15.360
took to the race track track to
try and grow it. Yeah. And
1070
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:21.159
now you know, Frank let our
Father of the Year is uh, he's
1071
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:22.960
got to deal with some stuff.
So he calls him on his bullshit.
1072
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:25.039
He's like, you know what,
what what would be so bad about you
1073
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:28.119
getting a job, And that's when
Larry reminds him that, you know,
1074
01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:30.519
the one thing you told me as
a kid was to make my mark,
1075
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:34.760
make my mark. I'm sorry,
I'm not Gil. And that's when Roe
1076
01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:37.760
Barbs has this close up and you
just kind of see him realize that.
1077
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:39.599
He's like, you know, did
I do this to my son? Yes?
1078
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:44.079
Is that you off? Is that
you in the garage? That's yeah,
1079
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:46.039
that's he's smoking a cigar on the
other side of the garage. No.
1080
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:50.440
Well, And that's the sad thing
though, because because this kid is
1081
01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:54.480
clearly the dad's favorite, your favorite
child, and even he's like, you
1082
01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:57.599
know, I'm sorry, I'm not
Gil, and it's like, dude,
1083
01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:00.800
Gil like doesn't really hide that he
doesn't like his dad much at all,
1084
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:05.519
Like he's pretty open about it.
So that's when we see Nathan is working
1085
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:09.440
with Patty on Elements. They're doing
flash cards and Susan pops in and she's
1086
01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:11.039
like, hey, I made some
new flash cards, you know, and
1087
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:13.159
he's like, oh great, you
know, mommy, that's a great idea.
1088
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:15.000
And she's like, can I show
you to you first? Yeah,
1089
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:16.199
and this is great. So she
takes the flash cards and the first one
1090
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:21.519
says, don't say anything, yep, I love you. You're beautiful.
1091
01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:27.119
To me is actually, oh,
then what did it say? It said
1092
01:04:27.719 --> 01:04:31.239
I'm leaving basically, no, it
literally said I'm leaving you. It said
1093
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:33.800
like this is the only way I
get you to get your attention, Like,
1094
01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:36.239
oh honey, this is basic for
her, Like she's already got this
1095
01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:40.840
basic. And that's when she says
I'm leaving you and he's like, you're
1096
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:43.079
leaving and then she pulls up one
that says yes, yes, Yeah.
1097
01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:45.960
The next card says yes yes.
So we see Helen going on a date
1098
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:48.480
with a guy named mister Bowman and
she opens the door as Todd and Gary
1099
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:56.039
rush out and they're playing They're wrestling
super sweet scene. But then Julie comes
1100
01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:59.760
in busting Todd because she was going
through his trunk and found his helmet and
1101
01:04:59.880 --> 01:05:01.920
he he is racing again, and
that's when he confesses that his brother's split
1102
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:04.320
with all the painting supplies, so
this is the only way that he can
1103
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.639
make money. Yeah, he was
supposed to start a painting business. But
1104
01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:11.440
his brothers also wanted him to race, and they also kind of wanted him
1105
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:15.079
to be a ship to his wife. So uh, this reveals that he's
1106
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:19.920
actually been racing again, and that's
not good. So now there's the big
1107
01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:23.480
fight, big fight. Todd goes
to leave, and that's when Julie's like,
1108
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:24.840
you know, no, I'll leave, like you know, I can't
1109
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:27.360
believe I'm gonna have a baby with
you. And that's when Gary is like,
1110
01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:30.280
what's up with all the women in
this house? She says, I'm
1111
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.960
not gonna have your baby if you're
gonna be like to be like this,
1112
01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:35.239
And that's when Gary's like, what's
up all the women's house? Driving all
1113
01:05:35.239 --> 01:05:41.239
the men out, and so that
he goes and that a baby, and
1114
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:44.519
she's like, I went to Woodstock. I can't be a grandma. And
1115
01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:45.679
one of the best things is mister
Bowman looks at her and he's like,
1116
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:47.800
I was a Woodstock too, and
she goes, I knew you look familiar
1117
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:51.159
and takes a shot. That's it's
good stuffs, so good. Yeah.
1118
01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:55.519
Yeah. So that's when at work, Gil finds out that he is not
1119
01:05:55.719 --> 01:05:58.519
making his partnership. They apparently do
not see that he's put in the work
1120
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:00.079
and they're gonna give it to another
guy, and he's so he just goes
1121
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:03.119
on and quits his job. He
fucks right off, goes back home and
1122
01:06:05.159 --> 01:06:08.840
he tells Karen, and that's when
Karen says, you know, well,
1123
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:10.920
are you sure he can't get it
back? And he's like, I mean,
1124
01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:14.000
I pretty much told them I'm done. And she's like, I'm pregnant.
1125
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:17.639
So she confesses that she's pregnant.
And now Gil and her have a
1126
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:21.519
fight about the financial situation, and
he makes one of the most ridiculous comments,
1127
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:27.199
which is women have choices, men
have responsibilities. Well, I don't
1128
01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:32.760
think that's a ridiculous statement, because
no, because men are generally speaking,
1129
01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:38.920
extremely responsible for most things that happen. I will say that I'm not saying
1130
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:44.039
that that means women are without responsibilities, without requirements, without that's not the
1131
01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:48.000
point. Well, but the reason
is from Steve Martin's character standpoint. You
1132
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:51.239
look at what he's doing. Yeah, he's working this job super long hours.
1133
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:56.039
He even mentions that he got like
he closed a ton of accounts.
1134
01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:00.480
So he's been working his ass off
and doing Little League and looking after the
1135
01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:03.280
son, trying to make sure,
he's okay, And from his perspective,
1136
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:09.000
his wife is getting to do more
of the of a relaxed way of doing
1137
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:12.440
things. That's from his perspective perspective. So from his perspective, what he's
1138
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:16.280
really saying is like I am stretched
all the way. That's really what he's
1139
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:18.320
getting at. Yeah, And Karen's
like, you know, okay, Well
1140
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.280
then if that's the case, then
you have the baby, which I do
1141
01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:27.199
like that you get fat for eight
months and have them, have them suck
1142
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:30.639
on your breasts until they hurt and
stuff like that. And she basically asked
1143
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:31.119
me, do you want me to
get an abortion? He's like, oh,
1144
01:07:31.159 --> 01:07:32.880
well, that's that's your choice.
You know, that would be always
1145
01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:36.719
be a woman's choice. That has
to be a office. I love that
1146
01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:41.400
response is so good. She just
goes, what are you running for Congress?
1147
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:44.039
Yeah? Because he says like that's
a decision of only a woman can
1148
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:47.480
make for herself. Just oh my
god, I cannot overdescribe if you haven't
1149
01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:51.840
seen this movie, that was the
funniest line. She just lookss, what
1150
01:07:51.840 --> 01:07:56.960
are you running for congressgress? So
that's when, uh, the scene is
1151
01:07:57.119 --> 01:08:00.719
cut short because Gil realizes that he's
got to go get ready for Little League,
1152
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:01.920
and he shouts also to Kevin.
He's like, Kevin, get your
1153
01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:03.800
glove and he's like, I thought
you said I have to go. I
1154
01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:06.760
know I said that, but I've
changed my mind. Yeah, And she
1155
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:10.840
does mention, she's like, do
you have to go? Like couldn't you
1156
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:13.239
stay? And he's like, my
whole life is half too, to which
1157
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:16.199
I thought was a beautiful punctuation on
how he's feeling. Yeah. I guess
1158
01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:19.960
I'm not saying that he wasn't being
a bit uh pig headed, and he
1159
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.680
wasn't being a bit selfish. Yeah, But from his perspective, it's just
1160
01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:26.880
everything is you have to do this, and you have to do this,
1161
01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:29.079
and you have to this and you
have to this and if you don't do
1162
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:31.720
it, nobody else will. And
so I feel like that is the perfect
1163
01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:36.800
punctuation to the entire fight. Absolutely
is so. As he's at his as
1164
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:40.880
he got the warm up practice for
the game, Frank shows up wanting to
1165
01:08:40.920 --> 01:08:44.319
speak to Gil and he is tells
him that he needs his advice as a
1166
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:46.840
father. This is quite a scene
too, because he's startled when he's asked
1167
01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:49.359
for advice, and then when he
says like, I know you didn't think
1168
01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:53.840
I was a very good father,
sitty father. He's like, thanks for
1169
01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:58.600
thanks for not arguing. Yeah,
thanks for him for not changing. So
1170
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:01.399
he tells him about and he needs
to make a decision on the money,
1171
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:03.039
and Martin asked me, you know, do you have the money? And
1172
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:04.960
he's like, I have the money. He's like, I've got it.
1173
01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:08.760
It'll hurt. I wanted to retire
in a year, and that's really going
1174
01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:11.279
to push this back a couple more
years. And you know, he he
1175
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:15.079
asked him basically, uh, you
know, why why is it that?
1176
01:09:16.279 --> 01:09:18.760
Why is it that he does he
knows why he doesn't think so highly of
1177
01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:20.399
him, and he's like, you
know, what, what did I do
1178
01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:24.640
wrong? Essentially, and Frank states
that you know, he has the money
1179
01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:28.840
and he doesn't know and that it's
there was a time where Gil as a
1180
01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:34.520
kid had polio. No they thought
he had huge yeah, that he thought
1181
01:09:34.560 --> 01:09:36.600
he had polio for a week,
and he said he hated him for that.
1182
01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:40.239
He admits he resented him for that
because he was scared. He didn't
1183
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:43.560
know what to do and that's not
for him. He hated him for in
1184
01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:47.239
a way doing that. And during
this scene, ro Barbs and Martin have
1185
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:50.000
gone off into the duckout and at
first like they're sitting next to each other,
1186
01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:53.960
and when Robarb starts speaking about this
polio thing, he goes over to
1187
01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:56.720
the side and is just leaning against
this fence and he's just beside himself.
1188
01:09:57.439 --> 01:09:59.600
And that's when Martin comes over to
and he's like, you know, hey,
1189
01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:01.239
you know, don't don't be so
hard on yourself. And that's when
1190
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:02.960
Gil spills the beans. He's like, you know, I don't have it
1191
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:06.600
all together. He's like Kevin's in
therapy, Taylor is in trouble at school
1192
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:10.800
for kissing all the boys. Justin
won't stop ramming his head into things,
1193
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:15.399
and also like I quit my job. And that's when his dad is like,
1194
01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:16.760
you know, yo, you're you
know, don't don't worry about it,
1195
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:18.960
Like you'll figure this out. No, he says. He says,
1196
01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:21.439
you worry too much, worry too
much. Ever since you were a kid,
1197
01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:27.479
you worry too much, which again
clicks with me. I cannot I
1198
01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:36.119
think that there is a real I
feel like there's not enough conversation about anxious
1199
01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:42.399
children, about little anxious children,
yeah, and how to deal with anxious
1200
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:47.359
children is really challenging. This is
like a pretty personal example, but I
1201
01:10:47.399 --> 01:10:53.720
feel like it's worthwhile. I had
a friend who had some children and she
1202
01:10:53.960 --> 01:10:58.680
wanted them that she bought them bicycles. Yeah, and the little girl just
1203
01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:02.000
could not learn how to write a
biok just could not. And one night
1204
01:11:02.039 --> 01:11:04.720
I was over there having dinner with
all of them, and before dinner was
1205
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:09.640
ready, they were playing on their
bikes and this little girl she just could
1206
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:13.720
not ride her bike. And I
noticed that, like her mom was getting
1207
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:15.000
mad, you know, not yelling
at her anything, but just going like,
1208
01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:17.960
come on, like just go like
stop being afraid that you're gonna fall.
1209
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:23.199
So finally, when she stepped away
for a second, and I'm not
1210
01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:26.159
trying to brag, I mean,
I'm not amazing with kids, but I
1211
01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:28.800
took a knee to this little girl, this little like six or seven year
1212
01:11:28.800 --> 01:11:30.920
old girl, and I said,
hey, you want to ride your bike
1213
01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:33.079
and she was like yeah. And
I was like, but you're afraid you'll
1214
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:34.399
fall, and she was like yeah. I was like, well, it
1215
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:41.199
is scary. It's scary to fall, but if you fall you'll be fine,
1216
01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:45.880
it won't hurt very much. And
if you don't try, you'll never
1217
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:50.359
get to ride your bike. So
how about I stand behind you and I'll
1218
01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:55.600
hold on and if you fall,
I'll try and catch you. And she
1219
01:11:55.800 --> 01:12:00.079
lit up and I'm not kidding.
Ten minutes later she was riding her bike
1220
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:03.520
up and down that driveway, and
I was like, all she needed was
1221
01:12:03.720 --> 01:12:09.560
somebody to acknowledge that she was just
so scared. And that's the other thing
1222
01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:15.159
is is anxious children are often confused
with fearful children, because when you're scared,
1223
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:16.560
I mean, when you're anxious,
you're scared. And I was.
1224
01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:20.560
I was called, especially by my
father, a fearful child. My dad
1225
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:24.920
was always mad at me because I
didn't want to do something if I was
1226
01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:30.079
afraid of it constantly, and he
used to always say in front of me,
1227
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:31.560
with my little brothers and sisters,
he would like pick them up and
1228
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:33.880
swing them around and be like,
see, you know, my kids are
1229
01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:40.520
fearless in front of him. And
all I could think was when he said
1230
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:42.800
that to me, I actually said
it to him one time when he was
1231
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:44.399
doing that. Yeah, I said, I was like, did you do
1232
01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:45.039
that with me when I was a
little kid. He said yeah. I
1233
01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:46.840
was like, no, wonder,
I'm afraid of everything. Yeah, because
1234
01:12:46.840 --> 01:12:49.760
you fucking swung me around. Like
I didn't say what difference swung me around?
1235
01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:54.079
But I remember that as a kid
being being told like, oh,
1236
01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:59.479
your fears are pointless, and it's
like that doesn't connect. It doesn't No,
1237
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:01.920
it doesn't mean. And I'll give
you props because you know, we
1238
01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:06.880
we've been friends for ten years now, and it wasn't until it wasn't until
1239
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:10.960
you know, probably what about five
six years ago that you were like,
1240
01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:14.119
I think you have anxiety. And
I mean that was that was literally the
1241
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:15.760
first time that anybody had really said
that to me. I think it's actually
1242
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:18.279
only been about three has it been
about three? I feel like it was
1243
01:13:18.399 --> 01:13:23.199
post COVID. Yeah, at a
convention that we went to because we spent
1244
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:26.640
the whole weekend together. Yeah,
that was pre COVID. That wasn't post
1245
01:13:27.079 --> 01:13:30.880
that was okay because Wasteland happened and
then COVID and then COVID shut it down.
1246
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:31.960
It must have been twenty nineteen that, yeah, twenty yeah, No,
1247
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:34.800
I just yeah, we hung out. We were like non stop hanging
1248
01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:38.479
out for a whole weekend. Yeah, And I just noticed a few things
1249
01:13:38.520 --> 01:13:40.439
and I was like, hey,
I think you're kind of anxious. Yeah,
1250
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:43.479
it takes one to know one.
No, absolutely, and I think
1251
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:46.239
that's I think you saying the thing
about anxious, anxiousness and children is really
1252
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:50.359
important to identify because it it has
kind of made me wonder how long I've
1253
01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:54.319
been anxious, because there's been things
you pointed out to me specifically, like
1254
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:58.039
with how I assess certain things,
like with finding a new therapist. I
1255
01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:00.439
remember that was a good one that
that you were like, I, you're
1256
01:14:00.479 --> 01:14:02.840
overthinking this because you're just anxious.
And I've had that feeling for a long
1257
01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:05.920
time. So with you saying the
identifying of anxiousness and children, I think
1258
01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:11.319
that is something that is absolutely and
it's tricky. You know how anxious you
1259
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:14.079
are when your kid can come down
to lots of things. Like when I
1260
01:14:14.199 --> 01:14:16.319
was growing up, there was a
lot of change all the time, and
1261
01:14:16.399 --> 01:14:19.159
I think that that made me very
anxious. We moved around a lot,
1262
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:21.720
you know, I had a dad, then I didn't have a dad.
1263
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:25.439
Then you know, we would live
a place and then like I had my
1264
01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:29.079
stepdad, but then my stepdad was
gone and like that. A lot of
1265
01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:30.880
that can have a major effect on
your psyche. And it doesn't mean that
1266
01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:36.800
you're damaged. It just means you're
trying to process. Yeah, do you
1267
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:48.960
even movie? Will be right back, welcome back to do you even movie?
1268
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:55.720
Like I'll give you an example.
When I was a little boy,
1269
01:14:57.319 --> 01:15:00.399
my mom told me the story.
I don't remember, it's said that one
1270
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:02.359
night I was crying in bed and
she came and found me crying. And
1271
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:09.039
I was probably six eight and she's
and when she asked me what was wrong,
1272
01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:12.760
I told her I was afraid that
we couldn't pay our bills. Oh
1273
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:15.000
wow, And my mom was like, what are you talking about. I
1274
01:15:15.079 --> 01:15:17.520
was like, I'm afraid that we
can't pay our bills because I've heard you
1275
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:21.680
talk about things. And my mom
was like, that's not something for you
1276
01:15:21.800 --> 01:15:27.760
to worry about. That's my problem, not your problem. I just would
1277
01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:30.079
pick up on like the things were
tight, we we lived, we lived
1278
01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:35.520
tough for a while long time.
And but like that's the kind of thing
1279
01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:40.239
that people don't realize. Like kids
can pick up on that. And I'm
1280
01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:43.479
not again not trying toot my own
horn, but especially intelligent children tend to
1281
01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:46.079
be anxious. Yeah, because if
you're if you're if you're developing a little
1282
01:15:46.079 --> 01:15:50.439
bit faster, that means that you
can understand more things to be concerned about's
1283
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:56.800
earlier. I've often said that being
a smart kid is not necessarily a blessing.
1284
01:15:56.840 --> 01:15:59.399
It'd be nice to be kind of
stupid till you're like twelve. That
1285
01:15:59.439 --> 01:16:01.079
way you can maybe have some fun. Yeah I did. I was not
1286
01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:03.960
a fun kid. I did not
have a lot of fun. Yeah I
1287
01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:08.880
was. I was an anxious mess. I made a life for my stepdad
1288
01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:13.199
super difficult because I would never want
to have fun. Oh god, I'm
1289
01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:15.800
I'm fully aware of it. Yeah, And I remember when I was a
1290
01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:19.119
kid, how afraid I was of
so much. So, you know,
1291
01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:21.439
it's a tough thing. And I
didn't mean to go on a huge tiree,
1292
01:16:21.479 --> 01:16:24.800
but I do think that it's a
valuable thing. And honestly, to
1293
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:30.119
see a movie from nineteen eighty nine
kind of expressed that. Yeah, kind
1294
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:33.399
of blew my mind and made me
really happy. And then I started worrying
1295
01:16:33.399 --> 01:16:38.920
about how other people would think about
knop. Just kidding. But so we
1296
01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:41.880
come back to the baseball game and
the game starting, and they are only
1297
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:45.560
needing one more Another game's already started. They're only needing one more out to
1298
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:47.760
win, and then it would be
their first winever, their first win ever,
1299
01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:50.800
and of course the pitch is thrown, the ball is hit up in
1300
01:16:50.840 --> 01:16:55.720
the air as we see Kevin is
having the ball come right towards him.
1301
01:16:55.840 --> 01:16:59.359
And before this had happened, Clint
Howard is a dad of Matt who was
1302
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:00.520
one of the kids on the team, and he's always hanging out on the
1303
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:03.199
other side of the fence smoking a
cigarette, smoking a cigarette, and he
1304
01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:05.920
tells Matt, you know, wherever
that ball goes, you run for it,
1305
01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:10.800
like you know, don't don't let
anybody else get You're the only one
1306
01:17:10.840 --> 01:17:14.159
that can bring the win. And
that's when he tells him, like that's
1307
01:17:14.199 --> 01:17:15.359
when Martin previously tells him, like
you know, if you if you tell
1308
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:18.039
anything's like that again, your kid, and you were gone. Yeah.
1309
01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:23.439
Yeah. So back back on the
field, the ball goes up and Kevin
1310
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.399
makes the catch until Matt runs into
him knocks the ball out of his hand,
1311
01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.840
but then Kevin dives getting the ball
into his Mit and they make the
1312
01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:32.880
win. And they make the catch, the game is good, and Martin
1313
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:40.079
does the most amazing celebratory run run
crawl. Yeah no, he's just like
1314
01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:43.960
celebrating by like running like goofy get
right in Clint Howard's face. Yeah,
1315
01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:45.920
yeah, oh yeah. It was
so good. So I was hoping he
1316
01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:47.119
was gonna turn to Clint Howard just
be like who had sex with you?
1317
01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:50.039
Without a comment, and then he
just run off. You know'd be interesting.
1318
01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:54.520
Where'd you get that? Kid?
So back at Frank's, Larry waits
1319
01:17:54.520 --> 01:17:57.119
and Larry's super nervous. So Frank
sits down with him and he's like,
1320
01:17:57.159 --> 01:18:00.119
okay, I figured out a plan. He's like, we're gonna meet with
1321
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:04.119
these these came a mobman. I
don't I can't remember what he says,
1322
01:18:04.479 --> 01:18:06.600
but he basically says, you know, we'll meet with them and agree to
1323
01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:10.520
pay them a thousand a month until
they're paid back their businessmen. They'll understand
1324
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:15.560
they're getting uh something nothing. Yeah, And he tells them that Monday morning
1325
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:17.399
he's going to start him at the
business. He's going to teach him the
1326
01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:20.239
family business. There's a plumbing business, and that in a couple of years
1327
01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:23.520
when he's retired, he's going to
pass the business off to him. And
1328
01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:26.319
he's only going to do this if
he agrees to go to a gambler's anonymous
1329
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:29.039
meeting. He'll keep paying those bills. Yeah, as long as he's working
1330
01:18:29.119 --> 01:18:32.720
and at the Gambler's anonymous, he'll
keep going. And that's when the scene
1331
01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:38.079
really breaks my heart. Larry agrees
with one quick caveat. He says,
1332
01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:41.840
what if what is a this?
I just got a call from an associate
1333
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:45.800
in Chile and platinum is the big
thing right now. I'll go out there
1334
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:49.439
for two weeks. If I don't
make it, I'll come back and Monday
1335
01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:55.159
we'll put the Frank Buckman plan into
business. And his dad just kind of
1336
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:58.600
size and says okay, okay.
And I love that moment because that's the
1337
01:18:58.680 --> 01:19:02.119
moment that he really sounds so awful. But that's when he really realizes the
1338
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:06.039
man his son is exactly. And
I mean and that is even said more
1339
01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:09.760
in this next scene, because so
you know, he's he's like, you
1340
01:19:09.800 --> 01:19:12.279
know, I may need a little
bit of money. He's like two thousand,
1341
01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:14.239
grab you. And he's like,
I can't remember what he says,
1342
01:19:14.279 --> 01:19:15.439
but he says something so SCHALARMI that
he's just it's just like, yeah,
1343
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:18.039
you would take your dad's money as
much as you can get it. So
1344
01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:20.479
he goes, he goes to leave, and he's like, well, what
1345
01:19:20.560 --> 01:19:24.199
about Cool? And he's like,
oh, He's like, this isn't really
1346
01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:26.680
a trip for a kid? Do
you think you could? Yeah? We
1347
01:19:26.800 --> 01:19:30.920
got it. Yeah and and and
that's again to me, that is the
1348
01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:36.119
moment that his dad's really accepting and
learning, like, this is the man
1349
01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:39.880
your son is. And this is
the scene that makes me cry every time,
1350
01:19:39.920 --> 01:19:43.520
and I totally did. Cool finds
Frank on the porch and he comes
1351
01:19:43.560 --> 01:19:45.560
out and he's like, you know, my dad left in a hurry.
1352
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:46.520
And he's like, yeah, I
know. And he's like, is he
1353
01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:53.680
coming back? And Roebarbs takes a
pause and he goes no, and he's
1354
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:55.600
like, you know, do you
want to stay with us for a little
1355
01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:58.720
bit? And Cool just lights up
and he's like yeah, cause he's been
1356
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:00.760
having fun. He's been spending all
this time with his grandma who's nice to
1357
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:03.560
him and stuff. And of course
Frank is like, good, me too.
1358
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:08.119
So the next morning, we see
Susan at her school as Nathan shows
1359
01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:10.439
up and he's begging her to come
back home. The misses her, he
1360
01:20:10.520 --> 01:20:13.439
loves her, and Susan tells him, your words do not solve anything,
1361
01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:16.079
and so she goes back into her
classroom because she says that he's not capable
1362
01:20:16.159 --> 01:20:19.000
of change, so she goes in
teaching, and that's when Nathan comes in
1363
01:20:19.079 --> 01:20:23.319
and he starts singing close to You
by the Carpenters, and he just continues
1364
01:20:23.399 --> 01:20:27.039
to serenade her with it as all
the kids are looking on in confusion,
1365
01:20:27.079 --> 01:20:30.239
and then eventually the girls in the
classroom all start to be like, wow,
1366
01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:32.840
yeah, and my favorite line is
Nathan, we're trying to keep these
1367
01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:35.359
kids off drugs. Yeah, that
was my favorite. Yeah, We're trying
1368
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:39.000
to keep these kids off drugs.
So that's when she tells the class that
1369
01:20:39.079 --> 01:20:41.960
that was their wedding song. He
continues serenading her, and that's when he
1370
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:44.079
makes it up to her at the
board and he tells her he loves her
1371
01:20:44.119 --> 01:20:46.079
and that he wants her to come
home. They kiss, everything's all good.
1372
01:20:46.119 --> 01:20:49.319
The class erupts into applause, and
that's when we cut to a racetrack
1373
01:20:49.359 --> 01:20:51.800
where we see Todd is getting ready
for his race, and Gary, who
1374
01:20:51.800 --> 01:20:57.479
has dressed up as his mechanic,
is looking over the car cigarette and we
1375
01:20:57.560 --> 01:20:59.560
see Helen show up and Julie is
like, you know, can you go
1376
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:00.760
talk to him, like you can
you tell him this is crazy and she's
1377
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:02.880
like, you know, I'm just
here. So then the race starts,
1378
01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:06.479
Todd loses control of the car,
crashes into the side of it, and
1379
01:21:06.560 --> 01:21:10.439
the car flips rolls onto its side. Helen, Julian, and Gary race
1380
01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:14.000
onto the track. The race crew
freeze Todd from the wreckage. He's fine.
1381
01:21:14.319 --> 01:21:16.840
They escort him to a truck and
that's when Helen is Julie is walking
1382
01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:19.119
off. She's like, I can't
do this. Helen grabs Julian. She
1383
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:21.960
goes, hey, this is marriage. Now come and get in the truck.
1384
01:21:23.079 --> 01:21:25.199
Yeah, I love that. This
is marriage. Get in the truck.
1385
01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:28.159
So that's when we see them all
get in the truck and Helen reminds
1386
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:30.720
Todd that he's important because Todd,
one of the guy comes up to him.
1387
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:33.000
He's like, hey, you should
crash every week. The crowd loved
1388
01:21:33.039 --> 01:21:35.439
it. And he's like, great, they love it. I'm just crashed
1389
01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:38.760
him. And she's like, no, you're a very important person and you're
1390
01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:41.279
gonna be the father of my grandchild. This is your a very important person.
1391
01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:43.239
He's like, how Yeah, She's
like, because you're gonna be the
1392
01:21:43.279 --> 01:21:47.039
father of my grandchild. So Julian
Todd makeup Gary tells Helen that she that
1393
01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:50.319
she saved the marriage, and Helen
tells him, you know, the odds
1394
01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:53.359
aren't good, and Gary questions,
you know why she would do that?
1395
01:21:53.479 --> 01:21:55.680
She thinks that, and that's when
he tells him that's what moms do.
1396
01:21:55.800 --> 01:21:58.399
Whatever you kids want, moms will
do everything in our power to get it.
1397
01:21:58.680 --> 01:22:00.119
Yeah, and Gary tells her that
he's glad that she's going out with
1398
01:22:00.159 --> 01:22:03.039
mister Bowman and that he's happy to
see that she's happy, and she's like,
1399
01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:05.279
you know, I could get used
to you saying this often. Well,
1400
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:09.600
he says, he treats you nice, and you deserve to have somebody
1401
01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:13.279
treat you nice. So back at
the house, Gil and Karen are getting
1402
01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:15.920
ready for one of Taylor's plays,
and that's when Gil tells Karen that he
1403
01:22:16.039 --> 01:22:17.760
really loves her, and she's like, I know, and he's like,
1404
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:20.000
no, no, I really love
you. Yeah, that's a really beautiful
1405
01:22:20.039 --> 01:22:24.000
moment. And he also says that, you know, Dave was so happy
1406
01:22:24.039 --> 01:22:26.199
when I called him. He gave
the off for me a corner office and
1407
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:29.359
a raise, admits his happiness and
like he's riding high from the game,
1408
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:30.439
and she reminds him, you know, life's messy, but we get through
1409
01:22:30.479 --> 01:22:33.159
it. So that's when Graham comes
in and she says, you know,
1410
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:38.880
your grandfather took me on a roller
coaster once and talks about how it excited
1411
01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:42.439
her, it scared her at everything
because of the ups and downs and downs,
1412
01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:44.600
and you know, I was excited, I was scared. She goes,
1413
01:22:44.640 --> 01:22:46.000
you know, I really wanted to
ride it again. Some people like
1414
01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:48.840
to ride the Merry Go Round,
but that just goes round and round.
1415
01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:54.279
It doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't
go anywhere, which is stupid because the
1416
01:22:54.720 --> 01:23:00.239
goddamn roller coaster doesn't go anywhere either. You're back at the station, So
1417
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:04.119
that's that's when you see Karen really
get moved by my grand's words. And
1418
01:23:04.359 --> 01:23:06.800
Martin's like, you know, oh
well, that was just such great advice
1419
01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:09.800
for her, and she's like,
you know, I happen to love that
1420
01:23:09.920 --> 01:23:13.840
advice and throws I love roller coasters
and throws the ear at him that she
1421
01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:15.640
was sewing for Taylor's play. So
then we cut to the play, and
1422
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:19.640
the play is exactly like a children's
play where some kids that are doing great
1423
01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:24.119
and some they're not. And then
as they're taking away the sisters, ya
1424
01:23:24.319 --> 01:23:28.720
sister playing Dobe, the youngest child, just getting He gets mad because he
1425
01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:30.960
thinks they're they're beating like his sisters, so he gets up on the stage
1426
01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:35.119
to help her Chaos and Susan.
At first, Steve Martin is like horrifying,
1427
01:23:35.239 --> 01:23:40.520
mortified, Yeah, yeah, and
then he realizes that most people are
1428
01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:43.000
just laughing about There are a couple
of people who are like they're ruining the
1429
01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:45.640
play, but most people are just
like, it's just a kid's play.
1430
01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:48.840
And then in Steve Martin's mind and
through the visuals of the play of everything
1431
01:23:48.880 --> 01:23:51.560
he's seeing, we start hearing roller
coaster sounds. We started hearing the roller
1432
01:23:51.560 --> 01:23:55.760
coaster go over the track, people
screaming, and then the roller coaster comes
1433
01:23:55.800 --> 01:23:58.479
to a cease, and he gets
this smile on his face and just starts
1434
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:01.600
laughing with everyone. And he looks
over to his wife and she has the
1435
01:24:01.840 --> 01:24:06.159
biggest smile, happiest smile, and
puts his hand on her baby bump.
1436
01:24:06.319 --> 01:24:10.039
Well yeah, not not that that's
there yet, but well, you know,
1437
01:24:10.279 --> 01:24:13.279
they share a really sweet moment and
that's when they smile at each other.
1438
01:24:13.399 --> 01:24:15.680
And then we cut to a hospital
room as we hear the doctor say
1439
01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:23.279
it's a girl. Oh sorry,
I got him, I got him kids,
1440
01:24:24.159 --> 01:24:28.239
so good. We hear the doctor
say it's a girl, and that's
1441
01:24:28.279 --> 01:24:30.520
when the nurses like, you know, well you should go tell the whole
1442
01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:31.720
family. They're out in the lobby
waiting on you. Now, important thing
1443
01:24:31.760 --> 01:24:34.960
about this part is we do not
know who the mother is or the father
1444
01:24:35.079 --> 01:24:39.800
of the baby, because keep in
mind, we have Julie that's pregnant,
1445
01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:45.000
we have Karen that's pregnant, and
I think that's the only shoe yeah yeah,
1446
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:47.000
oh oh, and Nathan and Susan
because they want a baby, oh
1447
01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:50.560
oh yeah. Yeah. So that's
when we cut out to the lobby and
1448
01:24:50.680 --> 01:24:55.119
we see everybody that we expected to
be in the delivery room, and that's
1449
01:24:55.159 --> 01:24:59.319
when it's revealed that Bowman says it's
a girl, revealing that him and Helen
1450
01:24:59.399 --> 01:25:01.840
had a baby to Yeah. So, so the mother who was kind of
1451
01:25:01.960 --> 01:25:05.600
like burnout on it all ends up
coming, you know, becoming a mother
1452
01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:12.000
yet again with her new husband or
boyfriend or whatever who is kind to her.
1453
01:25:12.079 --> 01:25:14.479
And through that, through that first
visual of the lobby, we see
1454
01:25:15.159 --> 01:25:17.439
Gil and Karen have their new baby
already. We see Julie and Todd have
1455
01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:20.039
their baby already they look like a
little over year old. Yeah, be
1456
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:24.039
a little over year old. And
that's when the family starts celebrating. Of
1457
01:25:24.079 --> 01:25:27.520
course, Frank's passing out cigars to
everybody, even the kids. I love
1458
01:25:27.560 --> 01:25:32.760
when he removes the snow smoking split
cigar. And we see Nathan playing with
1459
01:25:32.800 --> 01:25:35.319
Patty like a normal kid, like
he's got these ears on and he's just
1460
01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:39.319
like playing with her and being goofy. And we see that Frank rips down
1461
01:25:39.319 --> 01:25:42.800
the no smoking sign lighting up.
Gil's changing the new baby. Julie sits
1462
01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:45.840
with Todd as he's holding the baby, and then Helen holds her baby.
1463
01:25:45.920 --> 01:25:47.920
We see her smile, and that, my friends, is the end of
1464
01:25:48.119 --> 01:25:53.479
nineteen eighty nine's parenthood. And I
know what you're thinking, why not a
1465
01:25:53.560 --> 01:25:58.079
happy ending. It's such a good
movie, such a movie. He is
1466
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:00.640
a good film. You want to
hear some fun trivia? I do not
1467
01:26:00.960 --> 01:26:03.640
too bad, damn it. So
the budget is twenty million on this.
1468
01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:06.920
Okay, what do you think the
opening weekend was in the box office?
1469
01:26:08.079 --> 01:26:11.079
Was? I'm gonna need a hint. So this was a big, big,
1470
01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:13.960
big hit. Okay, Yeah,
I was just gonna say hit,
1471
01:26:14.119 --> 01:26:17.960
hit or flop? Yeah, opening
weekend. Yep uh, twenty eight ten
1472
01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:23.520
million. Okay, takes in ten
million in the opening opening weekend on August
1473
01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:27.319
second of nineteen eighty nine, eventually
grosses one hundred million domestically and one hundred
1474
01:26:27.319 --> 01:26:31.039
twenty six million worldwide. Holy shit, Yes, one hundred and twenty A
1475
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:34.960
family dramedy, Yeah, did one
hundred and twenty six million worldwide? Yeah
1476
01:26:34.960 --> 01:26:39.560
goddamn. So. Between Ron Howard, the producer Brian Grazer, and the
1477
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:43.239
writers low and Babbelo, there were
fifteen kids in their families, which allowed
1478
01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:45.800
them to base the movie all off
of their personal experiences of becoming parents.
1479
01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:49.079
The guys came to realize that they
would share a lot of time talking about
1480
01:26:49.079 --> 01:26:53.199
their kids versus the old days when
the conversation was a little more colorful,
1481
01:26:54.680 --> 01:26:58.159
and with the inspiration of Hannah and
her sisters, they decided to craft the
1482
01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:00.319
screenplay. Lowell Son was the one
who sang the diarrhea song, so that
1483
01:27:00.439 --> 01:27:03.840
was a personal experience. His daughter
had also thrown up on him after a
1484
01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:09.039
roller coaster, of course, and
Brian had the photo mix up story,
1485
01:27:09.079 --> 01:27:13.439
which was that him and his girlfriend
had gone out to a mountain cabin retreat
1486
01:27:13.600 --> 01:27:17.159
and they'd taken a camera and apparently
they had gone to develop the pictures and
1487
01:27:17.399 --> 01:27:21.560
her His girlfriend's father was a big
proprietor of RV parks because he would take
1488
01:27:21.560 --> 01:27:24.840
pictures of where he wanted to place
his RV when they went on vacation.
1489
01:27:25.359 --> 01:27:29.079
Oh lord, So he goes to
pick up the photos and it's nothing but
1490
01:27:29.359 --> 01:27:33.079
r v's and then the father did
not speak to him for a year.
1491
01:27:33.960 --> 01:27:40.560
Fair enough because the father got those
focus Wow the movie. This was the
1492
01:27:40.600 --> 01:27:44.199
first movie filmed at Universal Studios,
Florida before it opened on June seventh,
1493
01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:48.239
nineteen ninety. Howard got the idea
to start the film from a horrific fifteen
1494
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.079
hour flight from New Zealand with his
family, where his son had puked on
1495
01:27:51.159 --> 01:27:54.840
him and he did not have a
change of clothes. Kids were running all
1496
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:57.760
over the airport as well as the
plane, and he was so frustrated that
1497
01:27:57.800 --> 01:28:00.239
when he got in the car,
he calmed himself down and started craft the
1498
01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:02.159
story points in his head as he
was driving home. Geez, talk about
1499
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:06.359
turning a chicken shit into chicken salad. Dan Ackroyd, Michael Keaton, Robin
1500
01:28:06.399 --> 01:28:10.680
Williams, Tom Hanks, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Tom Selleck, Billy
1501
01:28:10.720 --> 01:28:15.000
Crystal, tim Allen were all considered
for the role of Gil Buckman. I
1502
01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:21.159
could see Keaton, especially Tim Allen, Tim Allen, Robin Williams. Ron
1503
01:28:21.159 --> 01:28:25.279
Williams might be good, but maybe
too much. I don't know, I
1504
01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:30.399
don't know. Jeff Goldbloom turned down
both roles of Gil Buckman and Larry Buckman.
1505
01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:33.000
Goldland would have been a weird dis
choice that early in his career.
1506
01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:35.479
For Larry, though, he would
have been perfect the fuck up. Oh
1507
01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:39.760
yeah, he'd be great. Yeah
yeah. Martin's famous run of the baseball
1508
01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:43.039
game after his son Keed makes the
catch was a one take with no rehearsal.
1509
01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:45.560
Martin came to Howard the day of
filming, explaining that he had a
1510
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:47.760
walk he'd been working on and wanted
to incorporate it. He guided Howard on
1511
01:28:47.840 --> 01:28:50.199
how to set up the camera so
all the action could be captured in the
1512
01:28:50.239 --> 01:28:55.479
one take. Okay. During filming, the cast became obsessed with playing the
1513
01:28:55.600 --> 01:28:58.159
murder game, a game in which
one person who is the murderer, has
1514
01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:00.079
to find a subtle way to kill
the other players simply by looking at them
1515
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:02.680
without giving themselves away. As the
murderer. And they would wink. This
1516
01:29:02.840 --> 01:29:05.520
is very apparent in the dinner scene
where everyone is sitting around the table,
1517
01:29:05.560 --> 01:29:09.560
when if you watch everyone's eye movement, it's obvious they are playing the game.
1518
01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:12.079
Huh, I've never heard of that
game. They talked of it on
1519
01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:15.680
the bonus features, and apparently Roe
Barb's was the best one at it because
1520
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:19.479
he would give the full and sometimes
nobody would catch it except for who actually
1521
01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:23.760
got killed. Oh wow, yeah, okay. So, as originally written,
1522
01:29:23.840 --> 01:29:27.039
Karen would smoke a joint every night. Mary Steinbergen argued that this was
1523
01:29:27.079 --> 01:29:30.119
out of the character for a woman
strong enough to confront her family's problems head
1524
01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:32.119
on. The filmmakers agreed and change
the script. Although gil Oltzer is a
1525
01:29:32.159 --> 01:29:35.319
former marijuana user. In the parent
Teacher meeting, they're having a meeting about
1526
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:38.239
Kevin, in which the scene where
he says that she would smoke as a
1527
01:29:38.319 --> 01:29:41.199
chimney in college. So traces of
Karen's pie had passed, you still make
1528
01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:44.000
it into the screenplay. You heard
it here first. Mary steamberge and says,
1529
01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:46.119
if you medicate in any way to
deal with your problems, you're weak
1530
01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:51.159
pathetic. Roe Barbin Holst's famous scene
in the garage with the car was not
1531
01:29:51.239 --> 01:29:56.359
originally so intimate and lengthy. After
one take, loll and bobbily requested Howard
1532
01:29:56.479 --> 01:29:59.479
send the two back to their hotels
for several days, apologizing that they did
1533
01:29:59.560 --> 01:30:01.319
not realize how good their chemistry was
on screen, so they went back and
1534
01:30:01.399 --> 01:30:05.079
wrote in more scenes for the screenplay. Oh wow. Yeah. They talked
1535
01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:08.960
about that in the bonus features as
well, like they actually went up to
1536
01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:11.840
Hols and Roebarbs and were just like, we had no idea how good you
1537
01:30:11.880 --> 01:30:14.640
guys were gonna be. So if
you guys want to go back, we're
1538
01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:17.119
gonna beef up your rush. Hehy. We really thought you guys were gonna
1539
01:30:17.159 --> 01:30:21.159
be shit. Yeah, so we
was. We was figured you're gonna be
1540
01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:25.960
bad, but he was actually good, so we're gonna fix it. Steve
1541
01:30:26.039 --> 01:30:28.399
Martin at the time of filming was
not a father. He did not become
1542
01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:31.000
a father until two thousand and seven. Steinbergen actually recalls the time that he
1543
01:30:31.119 --> 01:30:34.560
called her before they started filming,
and he was legitimately nervous about being around
1544
01:30:34.640 --> 01:30:38.880
kids. Of course, the first
day they're filming around the kids, Martin
1545
01:30:38.960 --> 01:30:42.119
was the biggest celebrity with the children
could not get away from five children at
1546
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:44.640
the time for the most part,
and he could not say no. He
1547
01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:46.720
kept doing magic tricks and kept doing
songs. So that was one of the
1548
01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:48.640
things she said was that, you
know, he was great with the kids.
1549
01:30:48.640 --> 01:30:54.159
The only problem was he couldn't say
no. All right, So what
1550
01:30:54.399 --> 01:31:00.079
are your final thoughts on Parenthood?
Sir? This is tough because I've only
1551
01:31:00.159 --> 01:31:06.479
seen it once. It's probably it's
probably a bye it's a by it,
1552
01:31:08.680 --> 01:31:13.399
But I mean, it's just not
quite in my brain a quintessential film yet.
1553
01:31:13.439 --> 01:31:16.560
I get that. Yeah, but
that's because I've not seen it many
1554
01:31:16.640 --> 01:31:20.520
many times. But now I probably
call it a by it. I think
1555
01:31:20.640 --> 01:31:24.039
Parenthood is a buy it for me
as well. It's one of those films
1556
01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:26.840
you appreciate the older you get,
because how would you know you saw three
1557
01:31:26.920 --> 01:31:29.239
years ago? I know. That's
what I'm saying is that I knew about
1558
01:31:29.279 --> 01:31:30.119
it, and I knew that it
kind of wasn't for me, and I
1559
01:31:30.159 --> 01:31:32.359
feel like if I had seen it
earlier, I would not have as big
1560
01:31:32.399 --> 01:31:34.920
appreciation for it as I do.
Yeah, you were stupid, Yeah,
1561
01:31:35.039 --> 01:31:39.239
very stupid. If you go and
expecting comedy, you're not going to be
1562
01:31:39.279 --> 01:31:41.560
prepared by the subject better than the
realness. The movie throws it at you.
1563
01:31:41.640 --> 01:31:44.199
In my opinion, Sure, the
cast is a symbol. The cast
1564
01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:45.880
a symbol for this film is perfect. The storytelling is done with the craft
1565
01:31:45.920 --> 01:31:50.119
that still impresses me. And how
smooth all the stories intertwining and go throughout
1566
01:31:50.119 --> 01:31:53.960
the film as well. Yeah,
they blend together very well. And the
1567
01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:58.319
final three minutes is some of the
most fantastically sweet, perfect ending you could
1568
01:31:58.319 --> 01:32:00.920
ask for in a film. All
Right, I could agree with that.
1569
01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:01.960
So, as we like to do
on the show, we like to end
1570
01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:04.960
with a couple of recommendations. I
have two this week. First one is
1571
01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:09.640
Mister Mom from nineteen eighty three,
starring Michael Keaton. After he suddenly laid
1572
01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:12.640
off, a husband switches roles with
his wife as she returns to workforce and
1573
01:32:12.680 --> 01:32:15.600
becomes and he becomes a stay at
home dad, taking care of three young
1574
01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:18.760
children and job he has no clue
how to do. Second choice is Little
1575
01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:21.720
Miss Sunshine from two thousand and six. A family determined to get their younger
1576
01:32:21.800 --> 01:32:25.960
daughter into the finals of the beauty
pageant take a country trip in their VW
1577
01:32:26.159 --> 01:32:29.000
bus. If you have not seen
a Little Miss Sunshine, I cannot recommend
1578
01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:31.239
it enough. I revisited it a
couple of years ago and it was even
1579
01:32:31.279 --> 01:32:33.560
better than I remembered it. He
never seen it, you've never seen it?
1580
01:32:33.720 --> 01:32:38.880
No, Oh my god. Yeah, fix that, mister mom would
1581
01:32:38.880 --> 01:32:43.079
have been my recommendation. But since
it's not, then my recommendation is War
1582
01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:46.800
at Home. No. Yeah,
you can't do that. Yes, I
1583
01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:50.199
can. The fuck you can.
It's a film about family, it's a
1584
01:32:50.279 --> 01:32:56.039
film about growing, it's a film
about pain, and I like it.
1585
01:32:56.680 --> 01:33:00.439
That is such I don't even that's
a recommend my god. I mean,
1586
01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:02.880
okay, fine house at the edge
of the park. There we go.
1587
01:33:03.079 --> 01:33:05.520
Yeah, is that there's no family
in that? Okay? Oh, in
1588
01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:09.439
a way the way there is?
Yes, No, No, But that
1589
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:12.520
got real fucking dark real quick.
I'm gonna I'm gonna get I'm serious.
1590
01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:15.239
I'm gonna go with the dark one
since I stole the only other one I
1591
01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:19.159
was gonna use. That's fair,
rude, My apologies. So you want
1592
01:33:19.199 --> 01:33:23.199
to know what we're talking about next
week? Well we we. We didn't
1593
01:33:23.279 --> 01:33:26.920
say we're done talking about the movie, but I did. I said that
1594
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:30.600
we always in with recommendations. Guys, Oh my god. Uh no,
1595
01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:34.199
David go on, I'll humor you. What's next week we are going to
1596
01:33:34.239 --> 01:33:39.800
be talking about twenty twenty four?
Is The Beekeepers? The most recent stathum,
1597
01:33:39.920 --> 01:33:42.560
Yes, the most recent film we
have covered yet. Yeah, we've
1598
01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:45.880
been talking about we've been doing too
many goddamn nineties movies. Well yeah,
1599
01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:48.880
yeah, uh so, Yeah,
we're gonna cover The Beekeeper with Jason Statham,
1600
01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:53.520
which is a film that I was
very surprised to adore in the theater.
1601
01:33:54.359 --> 01:33:58.359
