Snow Day (2000): Chevy Chase and Chris Elliott
Henrique and David bundle up for Snow Day (2000), Chris Koch’s Nickelodeon family comedy starring Chevy Chase, Chris Elliott, Mark Webber and Zena Grey. An unexpected storm closes schools in upstate New York and gives the Brandston family several intersecting adventures. Teenager Hal chases popular classmate Claire while overlooking his loyal friend Lane, young Natalie organizes the neighborhood children against the fearsome Snowplowman, and television meteorologist Tom tries to prove that a rival forecaster values showmanship over accurate weather.
The hosts treat Natalie’s campaign for a second day off as the movie’s kid-power engine. Chris Elliott turns the Snowplowman into a memorably grotesque comic villain, complete with a crow sidekick and a truck the children must outmaneuver. Hal’s romantic plot supplies the turn-of-the-millennium teen-comedy energy, while Chevy Chase and Jean Smart anchors the parents’ stories. Henrique, watching for the first time, measures that sprawling structure against David’s memories of seeing the film on opening night and revisiting it as a winter favorite.
Their production discussion covers Snow Day’s origin as a possible feature-length adventure for Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete & Pete before the project became its own ensemble comedy. Although the story takes place in New York, Alberta locations supplied the wintry landscape. Elaborate practical snow effects helped the filmmakers maintain the storm across streets and sets, and the soundtrack, clothes and broad physical comedy preserve a vivid snapshot of children’s entertainment at the start of the 2000s. The parallel stories let children, teenagers and parents experience the same storm through sharply different priorities.
Henrique and David find an affectionate, deliberately unruly family movie beneath the gross-out jokes and romantic detours. David places it among top-tier Nickelodeon comfort films; Henrique is surprised by how much of its chaotic charm works on a first encounter. Their rent recommendation suits viewers curious about Chris Elliott’s scene-stealing villain, a young Emmanuelle Chriqui, childhood snow-day wish fulfillment and a comedy where children take command of the neighborhood while the adults confront their own misplaced priorities.

Enrique Kuto here with my co host
Double D seven feet or deeper,
14
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:57.359
David Denie, and we have a
very special show tonight because we are talking
15
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:05.359
all about a Nickelodeon film yes,
one that somehow, I sincerely don't know
16
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.159
how. Yeah, just did not
really ever, I never watched it.
17
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.919
I was generally shocked. When you
told you were generally shocked. You were
18
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.919
just in general you were shocked.
You were like you were like at the
19
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.400
grocery store and you were like,
huh, chickpeas are actually huh they're actually
20
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.199
also called Wait, hen's never seen
that. That was like, that was
21
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.240
how it went exactly. Okay,
guess what, I just want to make
22
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.319
sure I understood. So No,
I mean I have been. I mean
23
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.400
I'm I am even more than you
are of the Nickelodeon generation. Absolutely,
24
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.840
yeah. Born in nineteen eighty six, Nickelodeon was really coming into it's all
25
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.879
right when I was like seven years
old, when I was like right at
26
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.520
that age, so like I was
watching Rugrats first time at Air Doug first
27
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.439
time it aired, Rocko's Modern Life
first time at Air Ran, and Stimpy
28
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.280
first time it aired. I was
watching Snick when it was new, and
29
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.479
I'm not no, It's just the
point point is, like I can considered
30
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:07.120
myself very very fortunate that I had
that experience, because I mean, lots
31
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.919
of kids like yourself, you were
you're born a little bit later, and
32
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.319
you still got a lot out of
it, a lot of the tail end.
33
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.080
But to me, ninety two was
when nick was starting to be great
34
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.680
and you were just now born,
just didn't get it. Yeah, And
35
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.360
I mean I think now is also
a great time to mention if you have
36
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.719
not seen the Orange Eers documentary that
is all about which, by the way,
37
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.080
yeah, Orange Years Years. Every
time anyone's talked to me about it,
38
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.479
like have you seen Orange Ears?
And I'm like, what is Orange
39
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.879
Eers? It sounds like it sounds
like some kind of like a Middle Eastern
40
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.120
documentary. I don't know. Ah, Yes, the Orangeiers of eighteen seventy
41
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.879
Ottoman Empire, the Orangiers, but
the Orange Years. Yes, yes,
42
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.479
it's a documentary document about that era
in Nickelodeon. And it was a very
43
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:57.039
experimental time, not only in children's
television but in television in general. Yeah.
44
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.800
And I was, yeah, I
was very lucky. I was there.
45
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.719
We stole cable, yes, so
I was, you know, I
46
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.439
was right there for you know,
ready to be a Nickelodeon audience member.
47
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:13.960
And I remember when Nickelodeon did its
first film, which was Harriet the Spy,
48
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.360
which I think we should get to
that sometimes. But Harriet the Spy,
49
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.000
Like, I remember telling you when
we were watching this because this was
50
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.800
the first time watching for me.
Yeah, this was Enrique's first time seeing
51
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.560
snow Day. I was so so
happy to bring this to you and this
52
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.360
is a first time on Do you
even movie that it's a first time watch
53
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.720
for me? Yes, it is. But when we were talking about it,
54
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.720
I was like, dude, you
don't even know how big Harriet the
55
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.360
Spy was And you were like,
no, like people really love it whatever.
56
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.399
It's like, no, no,
no, I mean like it was
57
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.279
everywhere. Yeah, it was at
McDonald's. It was that, you know,
58
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.759
it was that at Toys r Us
it was everywhere. You were like,
59
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.959
I wanted a spy kit. I
went out and bought a notepad and
60
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.560
like was spying on my neighbors,
which I feel like the movie's point is
61
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.519
like, hey, don't spy on
people. Yeah, no, every kid
62
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.839
as soon as they saw that movie. Oh yeah, Michelle Trachtenberg is so
63
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.879
cool. It was just exactly,
that's such a cute movie. It's such
64
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.920
a great film. So but with
that being said, I couldn't tell you
65
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.079
why never saw snow Day. In
fact, when we showed the trailer at
66
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.360
the start of the show, I
remember that commercial again and again and again
67
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:26.279
and again, and I remember just
not seeing it. And and I wasn't
68
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.360
old enough. What year is snow
is two thousand on the nose, yes,
69
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.000
So I was not. It wasn't
like I was such a cool teenager,
70
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.720
Like I was just being becoming a
teenager. And I will admit I
71
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.079
do remember being a little on the
old side for Harriet the Spy though,
72
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:48.600
But when have I ever followed conventions? You know? Like no, I
73
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.480
mean, you know me, I
fit in, you know, that's just
74
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.199
the way I am. I'm like
that that guy in Indiana Jones. You
75
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.959
I just blend. Yeah, oh
yeah, I blend. But no,
76
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.160
for some reason, this one never
it never crossed my radar. I remember,
77
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.439
like this was such a big I
mean, Nickelodeon of course was backing
78
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.000
this, you know, on on
cable, their own movie, their own
79
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.480
movie crazy, promoting promoting this NonStop. I mean they're even on it.
80
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.319
Because I have the old Paramount DVD. Even on the DVD they still have
81
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.959
like the old things that I remember, which were the old behind the scenes
82
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.279
like three minute clips or whatnot.
It's like, here's your deep dive into
83
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.839
snow Day coming out behind the scenes, Fiz Rats and stuff, well and
84
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.959
and and I don't remember exactly when
Viacom and Paramount became us, you know,
85
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.560
when they merged, but I mean
that was a big thing. I
86
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.040
mean the the Nickelodeon movies were paramount
movies, which is always I always thought
87
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.720
was wild because I was like,
but don't they film at Orlando Studios.
88
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.560
Yes, you know a Universal Studios
in Orlando, Florida, And and and
89
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.079
they do. But no, there's
so all their movies were Paramount, Good
90
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.199
Burger Paramount. I was around for
the Good Burger Mania too, which was
91
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.720
amazing, an amazing experience. Well, you had Harriet the Spy in ninety
92
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.759
six, Good Burger in ninety seven, the Rugrats movie ninety eight, then
93
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.279
snow Day in two thousand and then
after that Rugrats in Paris, Jimmy newtrump
94
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.639
Boy Genius, clock Stoppers. Oh
my god, I forgot about clock Stoppers.
95
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.759
See. By the time clock Stoppers
happened, I was kind of out
96
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.040
of it. Yeah, because Harold
the Movie, and I came back for
97
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.480
Hey, Arnold the Movie. I
had to see Hey Arnold the movie,
98
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.439
because Hey Arnold is just one of
the best cartoons of all time, and
99
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.879
only it only gets better with age
too, Honestly, I mean I would
100
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.319
agree. Yeah, I was actually
no joke trying to explain to a friend
101
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:38.000
of mine the my win story from
the Christmas episode of Hey Arnold, and
102
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.680
I had to give up because I
couldn't stop crying, Yah, describing how
103
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.120
emotional that Christmas episode was. So, there's something very special about the nineties
104
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.319
era Nickelodeon and the early two thousands
era Nickelodeon. Yeah, and snow Day
105
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.720
is kind of toward the It's kind
of the beginning of the ende, that
106
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.879
original Nickelodeon and I I went into
it assuming it was going to be pretty
107
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.000
bad because you said it was great. You were like, you were like,
108
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.680
bro, Bro, Bro, one
of my favorite movies, Bro,
109
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.279
Bro, like favorite movies. It's
so good. Bro. So I was
110
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.120
like, man, have we have
we discussed Dave picks on? Do you
111
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.040
even movie yet? For that matter? No, anytime a film disappoints,
112
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.600
it was decided by Dave. It
was a day even if it wasn't.
113
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.600
Yeah, it is. Oh.
My favorite though, is when I have
114
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.920
a good movie and that becomes a
hen pick. Of course it does because
115
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.039
that because it negates the number one
qualifier of being a Dave pick, which
116
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.799
is that no one liked it.
So that's the way it works. So
117
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.159
no, so, yeah, so
we sat down, we watched this.
118
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.720
It was your many many views.
Yes, it was my first time,
119
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.799
yep. And I had a lot
of laughs with it. It had I
120
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.679
mean, obviously, I'm watching a
children's movie and I'm thirty seven years old.
121
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.759
But at the same time, I
mean, there's a freaking creepy crawlers
122
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.240
back behind you, So I'm not
exactly your top of the top tier adult.
123
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.799
I'm not an s tier adult as
it were. You also did binge
124
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.120
hey dude when you got that box
set? Oh god, Well, for
125
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.080
the record, I mean I binged
hey dude because I went to a cabin
126
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200
in the middle of nobody and that
was the only TV series I took.
127
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.799
So I was like, well,
if the TV's on, it's playing Hey
128
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:20.679
dude, I guess it's a little
wild and a little strange. So no,
129
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.720
no, So I really enjoyed snow
Day. I actually thought it was
130
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.320
super duper fun. It is so
of the kids movies of that time,
131
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.799
and that there's a lot of stuff
that if you think about it too much,
132
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.799
it is very questionable. We'll get
into it, I'm sure. I
133
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.480
am sure that we will. So
you mentioned it came out in the year
134
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.120
two thousand year, so it's a
pre nine eleven kids movies. All kids
135
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.879
movies were very different after nine to
eleven that they were much like everything.
136
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.559
I was being facetious, but Dave, here is getting really dark. Also,
137
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:01.200
you're drinking a lot. I'm worrying
about you, sure is. I
138
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.240
just want to mention, by the
way, your sister just got married.
139
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.639
You were sitting your brains out.
I was shitting my brains up. Thank
140
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.720
you for bringing that up. Well, it's important that it be immortalized on
141
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:20.080
the show. Dave. What I
can only assume was gas station sushi.
142
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.679
Oh god, I mean got very
very ill. So my sister got married
143
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.120
on New Year's great, great reception, great ceremony at A lot of fun
144
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.279
was had, minus the fact that
I woke up in a very bad situation
145
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.440
on that day. To add insult
to injury, And I've already told Enrika
146
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.039
this. I was staying in a
hotel that I will not give the name
147
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.600
of and unfortunately at that point,
why because you have something bad to say
148
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.320
about that, I just don't even
want to It's fine. I was staying
149
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.679
at a hotel, a nice hotel, and unfortunately I was all dressed up
150
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.120
in my tucks. I was meeting
in the groom's suite four pictures because we
151
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.000
were gonna get pictures with the photographer. And I was in there for about
152
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.399
all about five minutes and I started
feeling queasy. Long story short, I
153
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.159
did not make it back to my
hotel room in time or inside my hotel
154
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.480
where I should say, and I
ended up puking in the hallway. So
155
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.960
that was That was the first and
they were like, oh my gosh,
156
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.919
we're we're a venue that hosts weddings. This has never happening New Year's But
157
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.919
yeah, no, that was was
not fun. But I'm doing better now,
158
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.799
I know because you were texting me
for moral support. You were literally
159
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.919
just texted like bro, I am
like puking and a lot, and I
160
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.600
was like, hey, it's okay, it's okay. Have some beer cheese
161
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.559
soup. Oh god, beer cheese
soup. For those not aware. Everybody,
162
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.240
yeah, exactly everybody. There was
about uh, there was a period
163
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.000
about three actually prob it was.
I think it was pre COVID, so
164
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.399
four years ago, four or five. Actually it was five because I just
165
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.919
texted you recently about it, because
the anniversary get because that's the kind of
166
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.960
things we keep tracking. This is
what we keep track of. We uh
167
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.000
Enrican. I were doing a marathon
and we ordered from a place called europe
168
00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:00.320
Palace and uh see, and now
you named the place that you're actually going
169
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.120
to defame. You could believe it. I don't even are they still around?
170
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.159
No, No, everybody died there
apparently, so we we unfortunately got
171
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.960
some vicious food port you got worse
than I did. But the next day
172
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.720
I decided that it was a great
idea. Stepped it up. I stepped
173
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.159
it up and got it. I
thought it was a great idea, meeting
174
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.759
with my family at a place that
served a beer, cheese, soup,
175
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.200
and draw like that. You name
the place Carol Carolan Park, like the
176
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.600
place that was great? You're like, and I went to this place that
177
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.919
was really good. But then we
went to Carolan Park, which has amazing
178
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.600
brought worst, amazing beverages, amazing
everything. And when you think, yes,
179
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:45.559
when you think of what settles and
upset tummy because I remember talking to
180
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.279
you the day after we've both been
very sick, and I was like,
181
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.759
oh yeah, I like, I
ate, you know, crackers all that
182
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.480
night, and then I crackers and
whatever today, and then today I finally
183
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.159
fell up to it. So I
had some like wanton soup from a Chinese
184
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.120
place, and you're like, oh, yeah, I totally understand. All
185
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:05.799
I had was some brought worst soup. Why why would you think that was
186
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.559
a good idea? It didn't go
well surprisingly too. Yeah yeah, you
187
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.279
were like, oh, bro,
I don't know why, but I feel
188
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.679
worse. And I was like,
I was like, well, what did
189
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.799
you eat? What you eat?
Not much, just some brought worst to
190
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.399
beer cheese soup. And I was
like, dude, you're not supposed to
191
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.480
feel well after eating brought worst to
beer cheese soup anytime you do it well,
192
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.960
no, no, even without food. Yeah, you definitely aren't supposed
193
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.279
to hork that down then and then
sit down at the end of the night
194
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.279
and think all choice is perfect beer
cheese soup, beer cheese soup. Here
195
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.039
week. So that story shared forever, forever, forever, and now it's
196
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.639
so now it's in there So getting
back to snow Day, what's that so?
197
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.799
Two thousand, one hour and twenty
nine minutes. This wonderful film directed
198
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:56.360
by Chris Coke. He was a
director of the Adventures of Pete and Pete
199
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.000
in nineteen ninety two. I thought
I recognized the name Cousin Skeeter ninety eight,
200
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.399
couplam in ninety eight, Cousin Skeeter
so underrated. I love Cousin Skeeter.
201
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.440
Malcolm in the middle of two thousand
A guy thing two thousand and three,
202
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.360
Scrubs O three. My name is
Earl better Off, Ted Cougartown Modern
203
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.279
Family, work Aholics, Last Man
on Earth, Young Sheldon. This is
204
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.960
us and only murders in the building. He's actually working on right now too.
205
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.879
So so this was his only feature
though, this was his only feature.
206
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.720
Yes, wonder why so, I
mean I actually wonder why. I
207
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.480
don't know anything about this. No, but I mean he was he was
208
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.879
a staple on Nickelodeon. I mean, with those titles alone, and this
209
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.679
movie was, like, like Hendrick
said, his only directorial that we have
210
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.399
for a feature. But his his
resume, I mean, that's a very
211
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.039
impressive resume. It's extremely extensive,
extremely extensive writer on this film. There
212
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.000
are two of them. You had
Chris Viscardi, who was also a writer
213
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.480
on the Angels of Pete Pete ninety
two. He did the Henry and June
214
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.960
Show, early KaBlam in ninety nine, then Dick Kablamb in ninety six,
215
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.799
or excuse me, KaBlam in ninety
eight. He did the show and in
216
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.600
one Naked Brother's Band, another Nickelodeon
show No. Seven I remember that vaguely,
217
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.399
Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and O
seven. And then our second writer
218
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.240
is will Mcrob, who did Ren
and Stimpy in ninety one. Will Mcrob's
219
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.679
name was all over Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon, Yeah, Rend and Stimpy ninety one,
220
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.919
Rugrats ninety two, Doug Adventures of
Pete and Pete Rock was modern life.
221
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.919
Liquid television could blam Naked Brother's Band, Taylor Despero, Bravest Warriors,
222
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.840
Harriet the Spy, which is a
twenty twenty one cartoon. Now, by
223
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.879
the way, I'm not surprised they're
doing more with it. What was a
224
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.519
book, Yeah, it was a
book. But the reason I bring up
225
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.000
those gentlemen not just the fact they're
associated with the film. This was originally
226
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.960
supposed to be in Adventures of Pete
and Pete film. I could totally see
227
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.200
that, Yeah, I could absolutly
because there's an older brother and a little
228
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.279
sister dynamic yep, that totally makes
totally tracks. Yeah. Yeah, And
229
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.039
then they were like, yeah,
we got Chris Elliot, what do we
230
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.399
need the name exactly? We got
Chevy Chase. We've got the names in
231
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.320
this movie, which we'll get to
finishing off our creators, though. We
232
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.559
have the cinematographer Robbie Greenberg, which
prepare yourself, because this is one that
233
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.960
I was very excited to talk about. Okay, So he does Bizarre Devices
234
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:06.600
in seventy three, Lucifer's Woman in
seventy four, Young Blood seventy eight,
235
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.200
and then in nineteen eighty one he
shoots a little film called Butcher Baker nightmare
236
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:26.919
Maker. Do You Even? Movie? Will be right back, welcome back
237
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.960
to Do You Even? Movie?
Well? Yeah, I mean that's we
238
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.279
often like to bring up on the
show that if you want to if you
239
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:44.480
want to see something you're not expecting, look up cinematographers on IMDb or what
240
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.639
have you. Yeah, because the
every movie, as I've said before,
241
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.720
every movie needs a camera, and
every movie needs a guy using the camera.
242
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:57.120
Yeah, so it's a guy only. Okay, it gets better,
243
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.279
but you need somebody running the camera. Yeah. So you'll find like a
244
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.799
lot of people will do like exploitation
movies or adult movies or ridiculous kids movies
245
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.279
or whatever to get their foot in
the door. Yeah, and then one
246
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:11.759
day it's like, oh and then
also Jurassic Park two. Yeah, and
247
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.640
then this and that. So what
else? What else you got for?
248
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.240
So then we go into swamp thing
in nineteen eighty two, Wes Craven's Oh
249
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.119
okay, Time Walker eighty two,

Go All the Way. No,
254
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.400
No, no, no, Arnold
Arnold. Yeah, he directed a Christmas
255
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.240
movie with Tony Curtis. Yeah,
no, it's not that one. This
256
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.720
one's I don't think it is.
Let me double check. I'm not trying
257
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.359
to put you on the Spot.
No, no, you're fine. No,
258
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.200
Arnold directed one feature film, right, I totally forgot about that,
259
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.480
and it was with Tony Curtis.
Because so this is why he originally was
260
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.440
resistant to Jamie Lee Curtis being his
love interest in True Lies. Yeah,
261
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.279
it was because he said that whenever
he looked at her, all he could
262
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.839
see was Tony's daughter, because he
was good buddies with Tony Curtis. So
263
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.319
are you sure that's not the Arnold
schwartzon Perry, Well, could be.
264

272
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:47.799
now there are bodies for sure,
es. So getting into snow Day
273
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.680
here is the back of the Paramount
DVD, it says an unexpected overnight snowfall
274
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:56.000
has made roads impossible, and that
means no school, no rules. Snow
275
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.039
day. For fifteen year old how
it's a chance to win the heart of
276
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.039
a popular girl, Claire, or
totally embarrass himself. For ten year old
277
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.240
Natalie, it's a chance to create
something even more than a snow day,
278
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.759
a second snow day. But to
do that, she must stop snowplow man,
279
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.759
the town's relentless road clearing fiend.
Better watch out snowplow man, because
280
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:17.359
anything can happen on snow day.
In this hilarious comedy, just about everything
281
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.359
does. How did he describe snowplow
man again? How was that? What
282
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:26.160
was that happening? The town's relentless
road clearing fiend aka working class man trying
283
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.519
to earn a living. Honestly,
yes, but he has poortental hygienis.
284
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.160
Yes, he does. Welcome my
synopsis and unexpect the snowfall leaves an upstate
285
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.440
New York town covered, closing the
schools and sending the kids into a frenzy
286
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.319
to stop the evil snowplow man from
sending them back to school tomorrow. With
287
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.200
any means or snowballs necessary. You
tried to make it cute at the end.
288
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.559
There you failed. I fail.
It's fine, it's fine. No,
289
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.880
it's not okay. I think we're
gonna have to talk to your parents.
290
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.680
I luckily I have my phone hooked
into the clem right now. So
291
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.119
the cast of snow Day, it's
a long list, but we're gonn to
292
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.680
go with three mains on this.
First off, we have Chevy Chase,
293
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.960
who plays Tom Branson. He is
the father of the film. I forget
294
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.000
about his career, about how on
fire he was in the late eighties into
295
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.880
the nineties, and then when I
read the height of his career, So
296
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.240
Lemmings in seventy three, snl in
seventy five, Foul Play seventy eight,
297
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.039
Oh Heavenly Dog nineteen eighty, Caddyshack
nineteen eighty, Seems Like Old Times nineteen
298
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.200
eighty, Under the Rainbow eighty one, National Lampoon's Vacation eighty three, Fletch
299
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.480
eighty five, European Vacation eighty five, Follow That Bird eighty five, Spies
300
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.160
Like Us eighty five, Three Amigos
eighty six, Funny Farm eighty eight,
301
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.000
Fletch lives at Chris's Vacation, La
Story, Nothing but Trouble, Memoirs of
302
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.160
a Visible Man, Cops and Robersons, and that's when we start the decline.
303
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.240
Yes, and for those who don't
know, Chevy Chase notoriously hard to
304
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:52.160
work with, notoriously hard to work
with, so notoriously difficult, notoriously unpleasant.
305
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.079
Yeah, that is just the man. He is the man, Yes,
306
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.799
the man that is notoriously hard to
work with, but still very he
307
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.359
is funny, very funny. I
mean even in the Last Movie Star he
308
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:04.359
was funny. Oh god, he
was so good in the Last Movie Star.
309
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.240
So then we have Mark Webber,
who plays how Branson. He is
310
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.519
Chevy's son in this. He was
in Drive Me Crazy in nineteen ninety nine,
311
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.680
Animal Factory two thousand, boiler Room
two thousand, Storytelling, in One
312
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.400
Winter Solstice, Broken Flowers, green
Room twenty fifteen, he was in green
313
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.880
Room. He is the guy that's
the that's the lover of the chick that
314
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.079
gets killed, the guy that goes
back into the club to try and save
315
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.759
everybody. Oh okay, okay,
no, because I mean green Room phenomenal
316
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.759
film, not phenomenal film. And
then snowplow Man played by Chris Elliott Manhunter
317
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.400
nineteen eighty six, because remember we
saw him in the interrogation room in that
318
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.440
one. Part. Of course,
we did Late Night with Letterman in eighty
319
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.880
three. What he had something to
do with Letterman crazy right? For those
320
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:52.279
who don't know, he was very
involved. Have you ever watched the episode
321
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.640
of Letterman when he comes on after
Cabin Boy? Was it Cabin Boy?
322
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.559
Yeah? Is that the one that
Yeah, that's the one that tanked him,
323
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.599
right, Yeah, well it was
his first movie. Yeah, it
324
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.839
was his very first one. And
then they came back on to talk to
325
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.720
Letterman after its flop, and Letterman
just really let him have it. I
326
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.599
mean yeah, I mean I don't
think Letterman hated him for going out and
327
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.759
trying, but Letterman definitely did not
let him get away with it. No,
328
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.799
he did not. So he had
the TV show Get a Life in
329
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.599
nineteen ninety. He was in Groundhog's
Day, of course, in ninety three,
330
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.160
CB four ninety three, Cabin Boy
was ninety four, Adventures of Pete
331
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.799
and Pete in ninety four, Barefoot
executive remake, ninety five Kingpin. There's
332
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.119
something about Marry and Nutty Professor Two, The Weber Show, Scary Movie Too,
333
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.039
Osmosis Jones, King of the Hill, Dance Flick, The Dictator Community,
334
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.240
Nurse Jackie, and of course he's
rolling on Shit's Creek, which started
335
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.920
twenty fifteen. Well, and to
give him a little do I mean,
336
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.880
I like to pick on Chris Elliott
mainly because there was this era in the
337
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.680
nineties which I was only barely there
for, But there was this era in
338
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.920
the nineties where it seemed like everybody
thought Chris Elliott was going to be like
339
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.160
the Salvation of comedy, the new
comedy leading man. And in hindsight,
340
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.440
that's pretty silly. Yeah, that
seems pretty silly. Chris Elliott is going
341
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.039
to be like he's going to be
Jim Carrey. Yeah. Now when you
342
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.319
look back, you're like, yeah, that that's the one. That's that's
343
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:12.160
the one. But he has built
an incredible career for himself of being a
344
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.839
character actor, a comedic, you
know, friend character. He's kind of
345
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:22.039
famous for being the weirdo and scary
movie with the weird hand and stuff my
346
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.079
stronghand so, I I mean,
I you know, I give my hats
347
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.720
off to Chris Elliott. He's incredibly
funny. Yeah, but yeah he did.
348
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.240
He became like the butt of a
joke of every joke in Hollywood for
349
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.799
like a good three years. Yeah. And so the first time that I
350
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:38.079
saw this movie, because we know
your first time, because it was just
351
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.440
a little bit ago, it was, uh, I would say about forty
352
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.000
minutes ago. I saw this opening
night. My mom took me, Erica
353
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.880
and a couple of our neighbor friends
to the theater. It was Movies five
354
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.680
or old theater that is no longer
with us. When did it release one
355
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.359
time of the year. It was
February. I want to say, oh
356
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:00.440
wow, during the snow ak when
nobody February eleventh. Wow, February eleventh,
357
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.480
two thousand. They must have done
that because they thought that like winter
358
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.079
would make people want to go see
it. But that's not a time when
359
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.599
mad people. I mean, February
is better than January. Yeah, but
360
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.480
you know, so for the record, so yeah, anyway, so I
361
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:15.559
went, so we would to see
at Movies five. I absolutely love this
362
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.119
movie. Of course I was eight
years old, but like had a blast
363
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.079
with it. And when we eventually
got our own VHS copy, it became
364
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.200
a tradition that Erica and I would
watch this every time we got the snow
365
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:27.720
day. For the most part,
like there was at least one time a
366
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.480
year when we got a snow day
that we would watch those. That's adorable.
367
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.559
It was. It was a staple
around our house. My parents loved
368
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.960
it, We loved it, and
I've still watched it this day. Even
369
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.079
when we got a giant snowstore about
six years ago, I introduced two friends
370
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:41.599
to it who had never seen it. Wow. Yeah, I showed it
371
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:49.200
and yet never me till today.
That's been made up. Now, I
372
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:53.839
I have so many vivid memories Prague
for snow days. I'm just sitting watching
373
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.279
the news and watching the little thing
at the bottom of the news yes,
374
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:02.079
going like, oh God, come
on West Carleton, come on West Carrollton.
375
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:04.400
And then it would be like and
it's everyone but Wes Carleton. We
376
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.119
hope you all die on the way. God. So did you get snow
377
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.880
days like ever? All the time? All the time? Okay, Oh
378
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.359
yeah, I was joking. I
figured, no, we we not only
379
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.039
got snow days, but when they
had mentioned like the two snow days in
380
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.559
a row that happened at least once
or twice, that we got two full
381
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.079
snow days. We had an entire
week. We basically went to school for
382
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.519
half a day on Monday, and
then from Monday until Friday we were completely
383
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.240
closed and didn't go back until the
next Monday because it was I want to
384
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:38.000
say, twenty eleven, you might
remember this when we got that giant ice
385
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:44.119
storm. I remember the ice storm, the ice Storm future episode. Maybe
386
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.680
well in twenty eleven. Ice storm
in twenty eleven is the twenty ten or
387
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.720
twenty eleven we had a giant ice
storm that literally closed us down for a
388
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.079
week. I keep forgetting your your
fucking fetus, So of course you,
389
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:00.960
of course you were still in school
getting snow days. It was my senior
390
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.680
year. That's why I remember it. Uh huh pathetic. I also remember
391
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.519
I was like sitting on the living
room floor of mom and dad watching The
392
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.000
Cotton Club, which is one of
my favorite gangster movies. Have you ever
393
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.960
seen The Cotton Club? No,
it's so good. So anyway, first
394
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:19.559
of all, I mean, I'm
not to brag, yeah, but I
395
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.119
had some pretty fucking good snow days
in my junior and senior year of high
396
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.720
school. What'd you do? I
dropped out of school. I was gonna
397
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:38.400
say, yeah, so I had
like one hundred and straight through and it
398
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.400
was awesome. Do you have do
you have like a distinct snow day memory
399
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.759
of like one of the best.
Uh. I didn't have friends growing up,
400
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.160
so so no, no, I
mean for me, I don't.
401
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.400
There were no ultimate snow days.
I never lived in a neighborhood with like
402
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:59.759
a lot of kids. Yeah.
I there was one snow that sticks out
403
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.519
in my mind because it was just
such a torrential amount of snow. Was
404
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.640
the first year I was probably eleven
or twelve that we had enough snow in
405
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.000
my backyard that we dug an igloo. Me and like a neighbor kid.
406
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.519
Yeah, we dug in and then
like hollowed it out to make an igloo.
407
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.480
Yeah, And I remember that being
really cool, but then getting sad
408
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.319
because every day the igloe was just
keep getting small. You just keep digging
409
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.319
it to make it bigger, and
then eventually you're like, script, let's
410
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.920
all jump on it and carve it
in. There was like we basically had
411
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.480
a rule for snow days. It
depended on how much snow we got.
412
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.400
But uh, before we could do
anything like super fun, whether it was
413
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.599
sledding or playing Super Nintendo. Myself
or Erica and I both had to go
414
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.559
shovel the driveway that that was the
rule, but usually got that done pretty
415
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.680
quickly. But snow days for me
were always an absolute blast, and we
416
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:53.279
had a major sled hill. You've
seen it in front of my parents' house.
417
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:56.839
That that hill we used to sled
down. That son of a bitch
418
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.559
all the time. Yeah. I
never went sledding or anything like that really
419
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:00.480
as a kid. Oh my god, I need to take you sledding.
420
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.200
Well, I live in a very
flat state. Yeah, I mean you
421
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:07.680
live in the same state, but
you guys have I guess you bought a
422
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:10.960
hill in like eighteen sixteen or something. I can take you sledding on the
423
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.240
levee the next time we get it. We get a snow day, you
424
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.920
should come Detroy and I'll take you. I'll take you to Well. You
425
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.839
say stuff all the time going skiing. You don't worry threatening me with skiing.
426
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.160
You just want me to get all
sunny bonoe. So going back to
427
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.880
your comment about this getting dumped,
what do you think this movie costs?
428
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.559
Oh goodness, Okay, I mean
I like this game, but it's it's
429
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.640
stressful because it's like, Okay,
so it's two thousand, but it's a
430
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:40.559
Nickelodeon movie, and Nickelodeon's hot,
so I'm thinking like twenty five mil.
431
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.759
Thirteen million dollar budget. Oh,
that's actually very manageable. You want to
432
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.720
know what the box office brought in? Uh? Not great? Sixty two
433
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.279
point five million. It was a
huge hit. It was a huge hit.
434
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.279
Well good, yeah, gosh,
you made me think it was gonna
435
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:57.839
be a bomb. No, no, it was not a bomb at all.
436
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.640
Filmed in Alberta, Canada, they
set it. They set the movie
437
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:04.880
in Syracuse, New York, which
we'll get to again because there's a lot
438
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.559
of jokes we can make. Well
having been to Syracuse, yes, I
439
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:11.960
can make some jokes, yes,
but yeah. No. The film was
440
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.160
originally planned as a pet and Adventures
of Pete and Pete movie. It got
441
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.000
held up for several years and eventually
found its way back to Chris Koch,
442
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.279
who decided to go ahead and do
it in two thousand. Nickelodeon put a
443
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.880
bunch of money into it. They
Yeah, ineas I thought. I honestly
444
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.000
really did think it was more expensive
though, Yeah, but no, Yeah,
445
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.440
thirteen million brought in sixty two point
five million, and this movie is
446
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.039
the ideal kid power movie. And
I think that's probably what I loved about
447
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:44.039
it. My ideal you mean most
irresponsible, most irresponsible kid power movie.
448
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.119
Uh, there's a lot in this
film that if it literally happened, would
449
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:56.960
be not only felonious, but very
scary for everyone involved. Do You Even?
450
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:07.680
Movie will be right back, welcome
back to do You Even? Movie?
451
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.559
So let's get into it. So
snow Day opens with a voiceover as
452
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.400
we meet Hal Branson, who again
who's played by Mark Weber, and he
453
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.400
is basically explaining how snow forms and
leads into a snow day. We see
454
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.960
Natalie, his sister, come out
of the house who was played by Zena
455
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.799
what's her last name, Warrior Princess
Zina Gray and she catches a snowflake on
456
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.359
her tongue, and that's how we
open up with snow Day. We then
457
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.480
meet Tom Branston who's played by Chevy
Chase, and he is in a hula
458
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:40.599
skirt giving the weather as he is
one of the local weathermen in the town,
459
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.640
given a forecast, pushing him to
be the wacky wacky weather man.
460
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.839
Yes, so he's in a hula
skirt talking about how it's going to be
461
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:51.240
a heat and there's gonna be it's
gonna be a heat wave, there's gonna
462
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:53.359
be plenty of sun, nothing to
worry about. And then we meet Tina,
463
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:56.799
his his manager, who is played
by Pam Greer, and that's when
464
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.799
she tells him that they're number two
in the ratings and that in order for
465
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.880
him to wear pants again, he's
gonna have to step up his game,
466
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.799
which that does become the running gag
is that she says, like, if
467
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.759
you want your pants back, you're
gonna have to get more ratings. So
468
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:14.799
then we meet Chad Simmons, who
is the competition to Tom, and he
469
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.119
is the guy that everybody loves and
of course Tom hates him, and we'll
470
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.119
get more into him as we go
into the movie. We meet Principal Weaver
471
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.480
who is outside in a nice sunny
day grill in a steak and he suddenly
472
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.680
gets pelted with a snowball. He's
looking around and he's like, is that
473
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.359
the best you got? And then
he holds up a radio playing a song
474
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.319
heat Wave, and we cut to
Natalie and Chet and Wayne Chet is played
475
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.440
by excuse me, it's Josh oh
Man here we go again with this guy,
476
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.160
would you stop? Chet's played by
Jade Scott Yorker. He didn't have
477
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.960
much a career after this. And
then Josh Peck plays Wayne, who are
478
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.559
the two friends of Natalie, and
she's telling them that it's going to snow.
479
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.480
She's gonna make it happen, that
they've gotta have faith and it's gonna
480
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.880
snow. Josh Peck of Drake and
Jo. For people who aren't like super
481
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:59.599
in the Nickelodeon, he became super
famous, super famous star and has a
482
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.839
podcast now too. Of course who
doesn't, Yes, we fucking do so
483
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:15.839
this is true. Dave just realized
we have a podcast. I I gosh,
484
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:22.559
spoiler alert, there you go.
But no, no, so some
485
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:27.960
people who were about to become pretty
big on Nukelodeon. And I want to
486
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.720
mention, I mean, the way
that this is set up is that we're
487
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.000
we're sitting here in Syracuse, New
York for those who are not aware.
488
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:38.039
Upstate New York is known for its
extreme winters, and as a young man
489
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:45.279
who spent many Decembers in New Hampshire, which is even more extreme. Yes,
490
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.880
the winters are quite a they are
legit out there in Ohio, where
491
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.720
you and I both reside currently.
Yes, we get a mix. Sometimes
492
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.519
we have a mild winter. Sometimes
we're like, holy crap, I can't
493
00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.720
believe how much snow we're getting,
how much ice we're getting out cold.
494
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:05.079
It's I was just looking at last
year around this time that we're recording this,
495
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.759
and there was that giant power outage
during that huge winter storm that was
496
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:13.920
like that, but it brought temperatures
down to like negative three and then knocked
497
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.000
out power. Because I remember my
house got down to forty two degrees before
498
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:19.200
the power came back on. I
was worried about you. Yeah, well
499
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.839
I was too, because I was
because I had two weeks earlier, I
500
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.200
had bought a new furnace and I'd
paid out the ass and I was like,
501
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.759
you know the only problem with having
a new furnace is if you have
502
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:32.599
no electricity, it didn't really do
a very good job. It does not
503
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.000
know it doesn't. But no,
So this is that's extra special, is
504
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.160
that snow days are a big deal
in this community, in this world of
505
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.440
sorts that they're building. But every
shot, I would not be surprised if
506
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.640
they literally filmed it in the dead
of summer because it looks like summer.
507
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.640
It does filmed it in spring,
in the spring yet because it doesn't look
508
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:58.480
at all like winter. There's no
dreariness. There's blue skies, but it
509
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.160
looks like Canada because you could just
like hear people playing hockey in the background
510
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:05.079
of the soundtrackers, I'm like,
oh, the soundtrack. We'll get to
511
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.400
the soundtrack too. Oh boy,
here we go. So we then meet
512
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.920
Hal who is Natalie's older brother,
the one that gave the voice over at
513
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:14.159
the beginning, played by Mark Webber. He is at the pool with his
514
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.599
friends Lane and Bill and they're watching
well, he's watching Claire Bonner, who
515
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.239
was played by Emmanuel Shakiri, and
he has a crush on her. He
516
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.280
wants her, and he is just
talking to his friends about how he's gonna
517
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:29.199
get the courage to go up and
talk to her, but they tell him
518
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:31.440
that like he doesn't exist to her
like that that is not gonna happen.
519
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:35.360
He makes a fool of himself and
falls into the pool right in front of
520
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.559
her, and she is doing a
hide. She's doing dives off the high
521
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.719
dive, and he sinks to the
bottom of the pool with one of your
522
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:44.280
Favorite lines, where he basically states, my original plan was to sink to
523
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:46.599
the bottom and drown, but fate
had other choices. Score. Yeah,
524
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.239
he seems like like my original plan
was to sink to the bottom of the
525
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.519
pool and drowned, but fate had
other plans. And I was like,
526
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.760
man who wrote this me? So
yeah, he finds her anklet. She
527
00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:01.840
wears this very obvious anklet that's a
blue whale. An anklet is a bracelet
528
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:06.880
for your ankle, and it has
a blue whale gem on it. Charm,
529
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.360
yes, sord charm and yeah,
I pulled the data used the wrong
530
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.000
word, you did, but uh
so he snatches it up, and you
531
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:17.159
would assume any sane person would then, I don't know, give it back
532
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:22.440
to her. Hey you drop this, Uh but it's going elsewhere. It's
533
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:25.480
going elsewhere. It's going elsewhere.
We're gonna We're gonna go ahead and just
534
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:29.760
say right now that how might be
a little bit of a creep in this
535
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.480
time. Well, he's definitely madly
in love, madly in love. So
536
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.480
he takes the bracelet and we see
them sitting outside as Claire's waiting for a
537
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:42.239
ride. Suddenly we see Chuck pull
up and that's her ex boyfriend because they
538
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.039
just broke up. He's trying to
get her in the car and she tells
539
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.159
him that they broke up and that
she needs some time, which gives Hal
540
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.440
hope. So he takes the bracelet
home with him because that's what I guess
541
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.719
makes sense. That's that's what you
do. So we then see Natalie sneak
542
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.360
into Hall's room. She opens up
a glass case that has five action figures
543
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:01.519
in it and takes them out,
and she's playing with him on the porch.
544
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.159
How returns and he scolds over taking
them out because they're gonna be collectors
545
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:07.840
items and he's gonna sell them someday. And she tells him that you can't
546
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.000
break up the team, and how
It tells her, don't worry. Teams
547
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.320
split up all the time. That's
just the way it is. Ha take
548
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:16.840
that younger sibling, younger sibling.
Indeed, what was do you remember the
549
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:21.199
first time that your sister was too
cool for you? Oh? God,
550
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:22.480
it was, I mean at first, not last, because last would be
551
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:28.760
wedding. Ye, So I was
probably it was probably when I was about
552
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.480
five or so. There was one
like I remember, like I got kicked
553
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:34.840
out of hanging out with her and
her friends, like was told to like
554
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.719
leave the room, and even the
parents backed it up. Oh this on
555
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.360
the parent Your mom and dad were
like, son, you are very lame.
556
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.199
Stop annoying your sister. This.
Your dad was like, hey,
557
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:51.119
pal, you're a little fucking Melvine. Why don't you go play with you
558
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.599
stupid nes or something? All right? Hey, hey eh how'd that feel?
559
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:58.280
I think I went to play with
my Fisher Price castle set in my
560
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.000
bedroom after that. So yeah,
yeah, was a little fucking Melvin.
561
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:07.960
Ah. So so that was that
was Wow, that's young. How much
562
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:15.280
older is your sister? Then?
Wow? See, I man, my
563
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.840
sister was a loser though. Yeah. So so, like my sister was
564
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:22.400
nine years older than me, and
I feel like it wasn't until I was
565
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.519
like nine that she was like go
away. No. I distinctly remember being
566
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.239
not I wouldn't say exiled, but
I remember there there was a point to
567
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.800
where that we we was exit.
It was exiled. There was a point
568
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:37.159
where we definitely started to separate from
hanging out as much, but we were
569
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.960
still very close growing up. It
doesn't sound it sounds like you've got some
570
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:43.840
serious sour grapes I don't know,
man, this is a safe place to
571
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:45.480
discuss it. Oh is it just
you and me? Just me and all
572
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:53.519
the listeners? But uh but but
no, go play with your fiship price.
573
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.880
Yeah, punk cats, get out
of here. Kids, you bother
574
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.960
me. See, Luckily, I
was a really cool kid. Like I
575
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:06.119
smoked Menthol cigarettes when I was well, I'm talking about when I was six.
576
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:10.079
Yeah, I smoked Menthol cigarettes.
I drank malt liquor. I was
577
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.440
really into score sazy, but not
in like a dickish way, like I
578
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:19.440
just like appreciated this mess on scene. Oh yeah, So I was a
579
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.599
pretty cool kid, you know.
And then I when I and then when
580
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.440
I went to school, it was
like, yeah, you're so smart.
581
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:29.559
Here's some bad and then it was
like, okay, I guess I'll just
582
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.760
I'll just suffer through my whole childhood. So anyway, oh boy, what
583
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:34.440
No, I got beat up all
the time. I know you did.
584
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:38.119
I'm sorry, Dave, if it
makes you feel better, because you know,
585
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:39.920
we didn't meet each other until we
were you know, I was late
586
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.599
my late twenties. You were early
twenties. Yeah. If I knew you
587
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:45.920
back then, I would have beat
the shit out of you because you would
588
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.280
have been so much smaller than me. I kicked my own ass. Still,
589
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:52.920
sometimes that's something you should talk to
with a professional not not here on
590
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.280
the show. I am. I
am a professional lifestyle coach. Coach,
591
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.599
yes, but that one I'm not
touching. So getting back to snow Dag,
592
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.480
What's snow Day? We then meet
the Branstons at a nice dinner,
593
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:06.639
So we meet once again. We
see Tom, we see the little brother
594
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:08.960
Randy, Nat and How and then
we meet Laura, who is played by
595
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:13.719
Jeane Smart and she is a workaholic. She apologizes for being late, and
596
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:15.400
that's when Chevy makes a joke at
her and he's like, Randy, call
597
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.760
security, So she sits down.
She's starting to find out about their day.
598
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.199
Randy shows her that he can fit
his whole fist in his mouth.
599
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.039
Damn right, he can. And
that's when her phone starts ringing and Chevy
600
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:29.400
offers her a dollar if she'll let
it ring. So for about three,
601
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:31.159
four or five seconds, the phone
rings and then she gives the dollar back,
602
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:36.280
rushes off, and that is when
Chevy takes the dollar back. We
603
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.800
then see How is in his room
and we're going back to the creepiness.
604
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:44.199
He's listening to Foreigner with waiting for
a Girl like you and just holding the
605
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.199
anklet up to his face and smelling
it, and then he puts it on.
606
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:52.159
And for the record, kids,
as the lifestyle coach of do you
607
00:39:52.239 --> 00:40:00.480
even movie? If you are madly
like feloniously in love with the one and
608
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:07.400
you managed to obtain some of her
sterling silver or silver jewelry as this appeared
609
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:12.440
to be silver jewelry, yes,
don't smell it because silver doesn't hold smells.
610
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:19.360
Silver is a very clean metal.
Uh huh. It's very antibacterial.
611
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.000
So you're not gonna get any of
that wonderful ankle stank you were hoping for.
612
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:29.960
Ankle stick, it's not going to
be there. I'm here to be
613
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:35.000
honest with you. I'm not here
to placate you. So if you're out
614
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.199
there and you know who you are, the anklet doesn't smell like anything,
615
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:40.440
it does not. No, no, it does not. No, You're
616
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:46.280
you're better off just closing your eyes
and wrapping it around your neck and well
617
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:51.280
we'll finish this later, Okay,
So how gets busted fantasize and give her
618
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:53.039
claars brace it by nat he kicks
her out of the room, and that's
619
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:59.119
when we see Tom comes into Nat
and she's checking the weather thermometer and she
620
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:00.920
says the temperatures dr and he's like, well, we may be getting something.
621
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:04.480
Gets her hopes up a little bit
and gives her a snow globe,
622
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:08.400
but also mentions that Al's wearing an
ankle bracelet, a girl's ankle bracelet.
623
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:13.440
Yeah, she mentions that, to
which my immediate response was, it's an
624
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:16.519
anklet. It's an anklet, thank
you. So Nat tells us about where
625
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:20.519
the anklet bracelet, and that's when
Tom tells her that, you know,
626
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.880
How's got a lot of stuff on
his mind, you know, girls,
627
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.360
and he's like, well, actually
it's mainly probably just girls. That's when
628
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:28.880
they're interrupted by Laura, who shows
that Randy has now got his fist stuck
629
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.920
in his mouth and needs help getting
it out, which I mean, hey,
630
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:36.239
they set that up, Yes they
do. So how leaves, He
631
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.239
goes to a diner and meets his
friends and he's trying to talk to Lannon
632
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:42.119
Bill again about how he's gonna make
his move on Claire. He approaches the
633
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.880
table that she's sitting at the diner
and isn't noticed at all. All her
634
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:49.039
friends in her ignore him, and
that's when he realized that he's completely invisible,
635
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.159
so he leaves. We cut back
to Nat who is fantasizing about a
636
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.840
snow day and she starts to have
snow fall in her room. It's actually
637
00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:00.239
kind of a beautiful little scene,
I'm cute, where she just kind of
638
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:05.599
closes her eyes and basically manifests snow
so as their eyes are closed, and
639
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:08.079
they did a beautiful job with it. Yea, it really starts to snow
640
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:13.199
in her bedrooms. It does,
and the flakes are like very convincing and
641
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.079
fine, which makes me think that
they use like a legitimate snow machine for
642
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:21.480
that scene. No potato flakes,
no foam. One of my favorite things.
643
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.199
By the way, side note about
snow movies, next time you watch.
644
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:29.800
It's a wonderful life. The different
ways that they created the snow are
645
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:32.039
like it's wild. Like there are
some scenes where, if you really pay
646
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:36.119
attention, there's one scene where he's
running down the street and he's literally being
647
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:39.000
pummeled with soap foam like it is
no but it's not like it's not like,
648
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:42.719
oh, that snow looks kind of
like foam, because we work with
649
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.320
a lot of fake snow that has
used his foamy. No, no,
650
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.519
I mean it's it's like straight up
snow foam, like it doesn't look like
651
00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:52.840
snow, and they use like every
kind of fake snow or snow effect they
652
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.719
could on that movie. That's like
we were watching Ice Harvest a couple of
653
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.599
weeks ago and that scene when Cusack
falls down the hill and you can clearly
654
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:01.840
see it's just a sheets with snow
over it. Oh yeah, yeah,
655
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:04.920
that's a common one too, is
Yeah, you put a big, a
656
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.039
big cotton sheet, yeah, to
kind of cover it all up. But
657
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.719
no, so that's something that's worth
mentioning. Yeah, but no. So
658
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:16.440
it's a beautiful scene. It's like
really thought out, it's really emotional.
659
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.079
Yeah, and I really liked it. And man, I would freaking love
660
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:22.719
if this had been a Peat and
Pete movie, although by that point they
661
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.800
were so over. Yeah, yeah, they were way over. So her
662
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.920
daydream is interrupted by her mom,
who asked her what she's doing and she
663
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.360
says catching snowflakes. She reminds her
that tomorrow's a school day as she tucks
664
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:35.960
her in and she says good night
to her. We cut back to the
665
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:38.360
weather thermometer as we see the temperature
start to drop, and then we see
666
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:43.159
Tom back at work as he's blowing
up an inflatable because he'sn't dressed in like
667
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:46.360
pool attire because they're expecting you know, sunny, sunny weather. And that's
668
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:52.400
when he notices that there is a
huge snowstorm moving into the valley. And
669
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.079
that's when I pointed out one little
girl's wish. One little girl's wish leads
670
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:01.239
to dozens of homeless people die,
people tie. Please, please God,
671
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:08.800
just one sudden, unpredicted cold snap
so that people sleeping in the streets will
672
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:15.719
just freeze solid and die. J
So Tom breaks the news live on air
673
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.719
that snow has come in there,
expecting a large amount of it. We
674
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:22.119
see snowflakes starting to fall outside.
We cut to the next morning as Natalie's
675
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.159
waking up because the snow globe which
she slept with falls out of bed.
676
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.880
Well well, I mean like they're
just friends. They're just friends, they
677
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.119
shared a bed, they shared a
bed, So the snow globe falls out
678
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.320
of bed, rolls to the door, waking her up. She goes to
679
00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:36.559
the window and then rushes to the
door, opening it, and I shit
680
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:39.000
you not when I say there is
at least three feet of snow on the
681
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:45.280
ground in front of this door,
and she screams snow. And it's another
682
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:49.119
one of those great moments because she
goes snow and it like pulls away from
683
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.199
her and gets like a crane shot. It's it's really lovely, it's really
684
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:55.519
cute. So then we then see
the valley as completely covered in snow,
685
00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:59.440
and we see all the kids next
are crowded around the radio. Because kids
686
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:01.440
back in the before you would get
alerts on your phone, you had to
687
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:06.480
either watch the TV station or listen
to the radio to hear about school closing.
688
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:08.199
I'm gonna straight up, we never
sat around the radio in nineteen ninety
689
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:10.519
five or anything. No, No, this was like, this is a
690
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:14.599
very old school feeling thing that they
were all sitting around the radio. Yeah.
691
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:15.840
I love that. One of the
kids, uh, one of the
692
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:22.360
kids that's listening to the radio literally
has a snowball and he's pouring syrup onto
693
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:27.559
the snowballs to eat it. He's
basically making a snow cone as he's waiting
694
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.000
to find out if their schools are
closed. So they go through the announcements
695
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:31.800
and they're like, you know,
this is closed, this is closed.
696
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:35.199
A week of poker and my house
is canceled. And that's all the closings.
697
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:37.320
And then they're like, oh,
one more thing. All schools are
698
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.599
closed officially for a snow day.
We see principal weavers start to cry,
699
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:43.599
we see the mother of some kids
start to cry, and all the kids
700
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.679
are cheering, getting ready to enjoy
their snow day. But that is cut
701
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:52.679
short as we meet snowplow man played
by Chris Elliott, who rounds the corner
702
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.440
as NAT's getting ready to go outside
with his rig Darling, Clementine, do
703
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:08.840
you even move? He will be
right back. Welcome back to Do You
704
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:19.000
Even movie? Chris Elliott with nasty
teeth, who is Rogers Stubblefield. He
705
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:23.360
has a crow named Trudy. Literally
all he is. The entire villainy of
706
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:30.599
him in this film is simply that
his teeth are ugly yes, and he
707
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:35.119
is old, yes. And he
does his job yes, which his job
708
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:40.039
is directly related to public safe public
safety, like because I remember when the
709
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:43.280
first show the ball, like,
ah, let me attack him. It's
710
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:46.960
lately We'll show you getting our parents
to work safely, Like, you gotta
711
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:52.320
how our parents if they die,
they die. So the kids run and
712
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:54.679
take shelter as snow plumb man rounds
the corner, and Natalie tells how that
713
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:58.599
this is the year they're gonna exactly
that they're gonna act their revenge. They're
714
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:01.719
gonna do the legendary second snow Day
and stop the snowplow man. And I
715
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:05.679
want to point out, as a
person who's been to Syracuse a few times,
716
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:07.039
when they were saying, like when
earlier, when they were like doubting
717
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.599
it, They're like, if it
even snows. I was like, homie,
718
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:15.559
Like, I know they were making
a lot of global warming promises in
719
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:20.000
the nineties. Yeah, but Syracuse
is getting snow. They're getting snow.
720
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:24.199
Look I I I could be I
could be a weatherman in Syracuse. Hey,
721
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:29.239
guys, chance of snow because it's
fucking February. You can't say that
722
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:35.280
on the air. Oh, a
chance of accumulation of frozen precipitation because it's
723
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:40.079
fucking February. So Hal decides to
tell her that he's not gonna be a
724
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:43.480
part of this, and he's gonna
use this snow day as a chance to
725
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.360
declare his love to Claire, and
Nat tells him that she doesn't need him
726
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.280
anyway, that they're gonna pull this
off without him. Then we see that
727
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.119
Laura is trying to leave. She
goes into the garage. She puts a
728
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:54.480
troll doll up on her dashboard and
she pushes the gross door opener and the
729
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:59.280
garage lifts and there is snow all
the way to the top of the ceiling.
730
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:01.679
The reveal is so good. The
garage door is just opening and you
731
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:07.039
see snow and opening and opening and
opening and opening, and it's snow,
732
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:08.360
snow, snow, and then like
right at the top you got like a
733
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:13.679
half a foot you can see the
sky. Yes, I love that.
734
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:15.559
That's such a great review. Knocks
the troll doll off the dash We see
735
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:19.519
Hal apologizing to her and he's like, you know, there'll be other work
736
00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:22.280
days. So now Hal is off
to go find it, find Claire.
737
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:24.920
Randy is causing terror in the house
using a vacuum on the money. Yeah,
738
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:29.159
like literally by Annie. The kid
just is coming up with the vacuum,
739
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:30.559
like vacuum in your legs because I
remember my first thought was like,
740
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:32.960
hey, that's what you get.
It was just an a clause where everybody
741
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:37.480
could get it. And and because
I feel like we should just get this
742
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.199
out of the way right now.
There's a there's a c story and the
743
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:45.400
sea story of this of this film, because the A story is the snowplow.
744
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:47.760
Well, actually a story is a
love story. Yeah, the story
745
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.800
snow plow. But the sea story
is this mom who is always working way
746
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:58.239
too much, just getting wasted on
workahol. Apparently is what you workhol,
747
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:02.039
workahol. I'm gonna people that hates
the phrase workaholic because it doesn't make any
748
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:07.199
sense. Always pound in work ahol. But but I just want to get
749
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.320
it out of the way, because
why why we won't want to talk about
750
00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:13.559
the sea story a ton? Yeah, but there are these little bits throughout
751
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:17.199
the whole movie where the mom is
getting into something else with the little kid
752
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:21.000
chasing him around. At one point
he just runs out and he's covered blue
753
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:27.039
paint. It's unexplained blue paint.
Yeah, love that. But what the
754
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:30.079
culmination of that is is toward the
end it just shows them making a little
755
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:36.039
snowman and you realize that she realizes
that it's nice to be home, yes,
756
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:39.320
and that her family, you know, is to be cherished and this
757
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:42.960
day is to be cherished. Just
want to throw out real quick, really
758
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.920
nice sea story because we're pretty much
almost exclusively going to be talking about the
759
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.039
game B story from here on,
and I didn't want to like derail it
760
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:53.079
by talking about the sea storymore.
But it's really sweet. I thought it
761
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:57.719
was a perfect little addition. And
to have an overworked mom connects with me
762
00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:00.599
because I had an overworked mom.
I didn't have a dad around to be
763
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:05.079
overworked. My mom worked all the
time. My mom drove in the wet,
764
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:07.000
in the bad weather to go to
work, you know, so it
765
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.559
was nice to see it overworked mom
take a second and be like, actually,
766
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:13.639
is kind of nice hanging out with
my kid. Yeah, oh it's
767
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.000
it's a super sweet sea story.
So how it makes this trek out in
768
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:21.079
the snow defying Claire principal Weaver goes
out to his car, ambushed by snowballs
769
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:23.599
from all the kids that are just
targeting him. Polite, polite, I
770
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.880
shot it. They made they shoot
it like a war scene because he dives
771
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:30.360
into the trenches. No, no, it's absolutely a war scene. I
772
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:31.679
was just thinking, like, man, if this was my neighborhood, though
773
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:35.320
there would have been rocks in some
of those snowballs. Oh god, oh
774
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.480
we did that. We did snow
We did tennis balls. That was That
775
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:40.000
was like the meanest I think that
we did. That's not even mean.
776
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:44.800
You can't even shatter a window with
a tennis ball. You can't try hard
777
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:46.480
enough. I mean, well,
okay, hold on, now, in
778
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:51.679
my neighborhood, we would have put
the tennis balls out overnight so they'd free
779
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:54.199
solid. That's a good call,
but it's way easier to just use billiard
780
00:50:54.199 --> 00:51:00.280
balls. Jesus, but where'd you
grow up? That would hurt and kill.
781
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.400
I was gonna say, no,
it doesn't hurt. If you hit
782
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:06.079
him hard and hard enough, you
know, then it's just a snap of
783
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.079
the fingers and then there's no more
problem. So how meets up with Laine,
784
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:13.480
who is excited about the snow day
as well, and she is telling
785
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:15.239
him that they're gonna have the best
day, maybe they'll start an avalanche,
786
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:19.199
and that she wants to do a
snow angel, which she demonstrates in front
787
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:21.679
of him, but also says that
you can never get the perfect snow angel
788
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:23.880
because there's always gonna be the hamdprint
when you get out. He extends his
789
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:27.199
hand to her, pulls her out, and then she has a perfect snow
790
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.320
angel in front of her, and
that's when he tells her that he's not
791
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:31.880
going to be a part of that, and he's going to go profess his
792
00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:37.320
love to Claire. And that's when
you realize that this young woman cannot do
793
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:42.960
a proper sit up, no,
because you could just sit up. There's
794
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:45.360
no need for hand prints if you
just if you just put a little bit
795
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:50.039
more time into your calisthenics. So
Laine says that she's gonna enjoy watching this
796
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.079
end in Flames Nat ventures into Chet
and Wayne's snow forth that they've made.
797
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:57.000
You were talking about igloo earlier.
They have made a hell of an igloo.
798
00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.199
It's beyond an igloo. It is
like a tunneled snowf told snowfall and
799
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.920
the and the way we it's revealed
to us as bike following a really long
800
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:07.360
extension cord. Yeah, because they
have an old TV set and they're playing
801
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:12.400
Nintendo or Super Nintendo or whatever on
They've got a lot of lamp to some
802
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.599
lights and some Christmas lights up in
there, so they've got like this whole
803
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:20.320
like underground under snow bar Barcelo.
Yep. So the fun is cut short
804
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:22.880
as snowplow man makes another round around
the corner. They take cover, exiting
805
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:25.519
the fort and they go outside,
but they have a little periscope. They
806
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:29.159
look up and see where he's at, and they decide that they're gonna hit
807
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.400
him with a snowball. So they
go through the various snowballs they have,
808
00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:36.760
they choose one and Natalie hits Roger
dead in the face with it. The
809
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:40.360
plow drives straight into a car.
Yeah, yeah, no, this is
810
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:45.199
like felonious. Felonious is the word
of the night for this film. Yeah,
811
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:46.880
so the plow goes dead, the
kids start walking up to the plow
812
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:52.840
to see if everything's if snowplow Man's
dead or anything, and the plow suddenly
813
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:54.840
kicks into action. And the way
they show it is the snowplows a little
814
00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:59.039
light like flades out and then when
they walk up, it fades back on,
815
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:01.960
and then the then exhaust starts kicking. Yeah, you're like, ah
816
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:06.360
like, but that means that they
were hoping for death. Hoping for death.
817
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:08.920
They were like, it's over.
It wasn't bad enough that he literally
818
00:53:09.119 --> 00:53:13.840
ran into a car. No,
which apparently there were no ramification, no
819
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:17.599
ramifications emphasis on ram yes, clearly
because next he's gonna ram into the snow
820
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:22.760
ford or try to. Yeah,
he just goes off road, yes,
821
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:25.280
and just chasing them. The best
part is when he crushes their snow ford.
822
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:28.840
He's like, all you think is
is like, ha, ha,
823
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:34.199
crushed some kids. So Principal Weaver, still being assaulted by snow runs past
824
00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:37.559
Hallen Lane as they're making way to
Claire's house, which has now been bombarded
825
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:39.480
by a bunch of boys who have
found out that Claire is single. So
826
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:44.000
it is, as they call Claire
Stock, Claire Stock is hilarious. It
827
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:46.079
is. It's it's, uh,
what does that movie? Say anything?
828
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:49.760
Ye, say anything. It's like
say Anything times fifty. It's just all
829
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:52.599
these dudes with signs and boomboxes.
And my favorite is she so she opens
830
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:57.159
her blinds and there's a dude hanging
on her balcony who jumps off and gets
831
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:01.679
caught by the crowd. No,
it's like it's like any good like event
832
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:05.519
like that. About a third of
them are there because they really wanted to
833
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.239
be there. Everybody else just want
to be a part of the action.
834
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:10.719
So they so House sees that he
is not the only one going after Claire,
835
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:14.440
and of course the party's broken up
by Chuck, who rides up on
836
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.000
his skidoo, scaring everybody off.
He tries to persuade Claire to talk to
837
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:20.400
him, and she says that she'll
love that she doesn't want to talk to
838
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:23.280
him, turning up the TV,
revealing that she is watching How's Dad on
839
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:25.960
TV? She's watching Channel six.
Yeah, And I want to mention,
840
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.400
for those who are not used to
seriously snowy weather, a skid is another
841
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:37.360
word for snowmob snows so, revealing
that they're watching Tom's broadcast, House suddenly
842
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:40.559
gets an idea and he rushes off. Chuck gets invited inside by Claire for
843
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:44.880
a few minutes, and that's when
we see Tom is dressed as a snowman
844
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:47.320
at Skelter Hill, or as the
kids call it, suicide Hill. Yeah,
845
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:51.679
and he says it like as the
local kids like to call it suicide
846
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:54.320
Hill. It's like, yeah,
it's because it's steep, it's very steep.
847
00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:57.880
It's because you might die. So
he gets on a sled and he
848
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:00.760
says he's gonna get a little push
from his friends. They push him and
849
00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:04.440
in natural Chevy fashion. It doesn't
go well as he goes ramping down the
850
00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:07.559
hill off a ramp and the cameraman
chases after him, leaving the camera completely
851
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:12.119
stable on the tripod. Hal runs
up and confesses his love to Claire.
852
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:15.400
Says that it's a snow day,
anything can happen. He confesses all these
853
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:17.320
things that he knows about her and
that he's going to see her later.
854
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:22.360
Basically just he just he may as
well have just been Max Headroom hijacking a
855
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:25.960
broadcast. Yeah, and uh,
and we get some solid late stage Chevy
856
00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:30.320
Chase physical humor. Yes, we
do that, being that I think Chevy
857
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:35.480
was in like one shot, one
shot. Yes. So so Tom consoles
858
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.280
halis, and you know, when
I want to get a girl's attention,
859
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:38.360
I would just put on some gloan. But House says, you know,
860
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:40.920
this girl's special, and he's like, you know, I understand that.
861
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:45.480
But then Tom's interrupted by his cameraman
that says they were taping Channel ten last
862
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.719
night and Chad Simmons is now taking
credit for the one to be uh to
863
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:53.320
discover that the snow for being the
guy who figured it out first. Yeah,
864
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:57.360
and that pisses Tom off. He
goes and starts chucking snowballs at a
865
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.599
billboard. They pull him away,
and how thinks that it was a success
866
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:02.800
for what he did. But then
Chuck and Claire ride by on his skidoo,
867
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:07.079
and he realizes that Claire is somewhat
into him because she smiles at him
868
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:09.840
as they ride past, and Chuck, of course her ex, the boyfriend
869
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:14.599
who was supposed to be the ex
who is just a total total Chad energy,
870
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:16.320
and this is of course when they
play the last there she goes.
871
00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:21.920
As Claire rides past, she goes. So we cut back to Nat and
872
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:23.960
Chet and Wayne who are putting ketchup
on Wayne, who is laying in the
873
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:28.920
middle of the road. They're setting
a trap by making it look like there's
874
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:31.719
a maimed child in the middle of
the road. They're putting ketchup on him
875
00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:37.039
and just but it's it's I would
call it ribbons. Ribbons. I think
876
00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:37.840
that's the best way to put it, you know how, Like it's not
877
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:44.840
they weren't squirting a puddle. It's
it's thatches. So it looks he looks
878
00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:52.800
it looks like a potato pancake.
So snowplow man drives up and he's ironically
879
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:55.280
eating French fries. As this happens, I would not I would say he
880
00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:59.599
was an ironic ironic French because he
was just eating. It wasn't like he
881
00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:01.239
was eating them to prove a point. That's true. So he gets out
882
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:08.199
he's he was fri So he walks
up to Wayne and doesn't miss a beat
883
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:13.079
and just starts dipping the fries in
the ketchup, just knowing immediately what it
884
00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:15.599
is. I wanted him to be
like once, like I was hoping for
885
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:21.679
child blood. So he continues to
dip the fries. Meanwhile, Nat and
886
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:24.360
Chat sneak into the snowplow, but
Chet also starts painting on the pin up
887
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:30.880
that that Roger has on his darling
Clementine, and Nat sneaks into the snowplow.
888
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:32.639
Trudy starts they don't just paint the
pin up, they basically make it
889
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:39.679
look like me. They and circle
glasses. Thanks thanks snow Day, Thanks
890
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:44.760
sont enters. The plow gets found
up by Trudy, who starts alerting Roger.
891
00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:46.079
He's like, hey, get out
of my plow, and Nat steps
892
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:51.400
out holding Trudy and basically says that
we're gonna take her and we want the
893
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:53.559
second snow day. They run off
and that's when snow plumb Man decides to
894
00:57:53.599 --> 00:58:00.199
kidnap wame. So now he kidnaps
a child and how with Gusto. So
895
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:02.960
we cut to a skating rink where
we meet mister zel Wigger played by Iggy
896
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:07.000
Pop, Yes kids, Iggy Pop
playing a skating rink owner who's in a
897
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:10.599
neck brace and he is putting everyone
to sleep on the ice playing Al Martino
898
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:15.280
records. We even see a kid
who falls asleep off skating and goes over
899
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:19.599
a wall. Oh no, and
I that was probably one of my favorite
900
00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:22.159
little touches in the movie is the
fact that it's like the guy who's running
901
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.880
the snow rink is just playing slow
ballads. Yes, and we literally see
902
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:30.920
that kid just he's literally like a
sleep rolling and he just rolls and or
903
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:35.199
slides and slides and then just goes
right over the banish over the So funny,
904
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:37.119
So funny. So Lane decides that
she's going to help. How she
905
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:40.800
pulls away mister Zelwigger by saying that
somebody in a in the woman's bathroom put
906
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:45.079
Al Martina bites the big one on
that pulls him away. He gets out
907
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:47.159
of the booth, hal rushes into
the booth dedicates a song to Claire,
908
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:52.119
which gets everybody amped up, and
I believe it was a I think it
909
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.400
was a ska song again. Well
yeah, because the moment there's snow the
910
00:58:55.400 --> 00:59:01.079
sky music and it doesn't stop.
It doesn't stop. So Claire gets a
911
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:05.280
song dedicated to her. Chuck rushes
the window, tells how that he's so
912
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:07.920
dead. Back in the plow,
Wayne tries to reason with the slow snowplow
913
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:10.880
man, but Roger's giving him no
response. Wayne goes to open the door
914
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:14.639
and the handle comes off in his
hand and he goes, I'm toast.
915
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.559
So then we go to the Branson
residence where Laura meets snowplow man at the
916
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.199
door and he tells him that he's
trying to find Natalie because he's offering free
917
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:25.960
plow rides. Yeah, he tries
to make it sound like the daughter is
918
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:30.119
getting something a free ride in the
plow, which actually, would you kind
919
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:32.679
of bitchin if you'd had a huge
snowstorm. I'm kind of bitching to get
920
00:59:32.679 --> 00:59:36.679
to ride in the plow, absolutely, But he's really just lying to a
921
00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:38.840
parent in order to get access to
her child. And Wayne was in the
922
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:45.239
cab and he's spelling hell help on
the window and he's like, uh,
923
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:47.000
Wayne finished up his plower right.
Oh, the kids love to toot the
924
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:52.920
horn. They sure love to toot
the horn. Do you even move?
925
00:59:53.000 --> 01:00:08.159
He will be right back, welcome
back to Do You Even movie? So
926
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:12.159
then that's when Randy rushes in covered
in blue paint. He runs out,
927
01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:15.960
Laura chases after him, and Natalie
calls the house. Snowplow man goes in,
928
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:17.840
and they decide that they're going to
do a trade for Trudy and Wayne,
929
01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:21.960
and they agree to meet at rendezvous. We cut back to the diner
930
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:24.519
where Laane meets Bill, who's building
a fry house, not unlike Texas Chancel
931
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:28.960
masker two. Well, I'm built
chi little fry house. And she tells
932
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:31.440
Bill that she's been sent by Howe, who is at the football stadium building
933
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:36.280
a shrine to Claire because he she
needs to grab her to bring it to
934
01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:39.559
see the shrine. And that's when
she goes to the table to confront Claire's
935
01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:43.239
friends and trying to Basically they're telling
Claire that, like, you know,
936
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:45.239
if you date this guy, it's
going to be the end of your social
937
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:49.480
career. Lane sweeps in and tries
to like explain that how such a sweet
938
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.079
guy tells this really sweet story about
how he gave mount them out to a
939
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:58.719
baby chick, and I love this, It's so good. So then she
940
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:02.599
convinces Claire to go with her and
they decide that from that point that they're
941
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:06.239
going to go over to the stadium. But back at the plow, Nat
942
01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:09.480
and snowplow Man argue about who's going
to get first, because as snowplow man
943
01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:14.559
rides up, Wayne is tied to
the front of the snow plow. It
944
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:21.360
is very uh, witness man,
it's very mad Max beyond snow globe,
945
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:23.760
you know, it really is.
So Nat breaks down, letting Trudy loose.
946
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:28.159
Snowplow Man releases Wayne, he drives
off, and Nat basically thinks that
947
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.639
she's been defeated. They're not going
to get the second snow day. So
948
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:31.960
her and the gang go off,
and Wayne, of course is like,
949
01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:36.440
you know, great plan, guys, excellent, terrific. I mean he
950
01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:39.840
looks all like frostbitten too. Yeah. So back of the football field House
951
01:01:39.880 --> 01:01:44.840
shows off his shrine to Claire,
which is the pattern of a whale that
952
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:47.920
he has somehow made in the snow
in a matter of time. Somehow you
953
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:52.559
mean by digging it is shovel,
But how like, how that quick?
954
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:55.159
We don't know how long it took
though the snow day is only one day,
955
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:02.320
there are twenty four hours in the
days. It's that's that's like airacy.
956
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:05.119
That's the one. That's the one
part that takes me out of this
957
01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:08.800
movie. It's not that hard to
make the line art of a freaking whale.
958
01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:14.159
So Claire tells him that that she
likes zebras and how reveals what about
959
01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:15.960
your bracelet? Revealing that he has
the bracelet. Just at this point,
960
01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:20.719
Chuck and his cronies roll up,
catching him with the bracelet. He confronts,
961
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:22.519
how like, what are you doing
with this? And how While Chuck
962
01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:28.039
is talking to Claire, sneaks off
and steals the ski sdew and starts a
963
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:34.519
snowmobile chase with them, a snowmobile
chase worthy of James Bond or Diehard two.
964
01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:37.719
And oh, I mean that is
a really good one. Forty to
965
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:39.599
fifty setups, by the way,
forty to fifty camera setups. They had
966
01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:44.880
the skid was pulling the two skidoos. They had the key, the key
967
01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:47.599
grip, Rudd driving the operator,
the camera guy was on the back of
968
01:02:47.639 --> 01:02:51.079
it, the director was on the
side, and somebody else. There were
969
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:53.320
four people on the snow bill be
pulling the other two snowmobiles. I mean
970
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:58.519
that sounds normal to me, honestly, but I mean it's definitely intricate.
971
01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:02.760
Yeah, and uh and also like
it's worth mentioning. I have ridden skids
972
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:08.559
and recently I got to rent a
skid and I was literally told by the
973
01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:13.960
owner of the shop just have at
it. Yeah, she told me she'd
974
01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.159
gotten that bad way up to one
hundred and five once on the lake.
975
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:22.880
So I I chickened out at about
ninety two. Man, that thing goes
976
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:29.400
fast. Most skids go fast as
cars. So when they're having this chase,
977
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:31.440
all I could think was, like, you know, I mean,
978
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:35.119
I'm sure there are a lot of
skids that like top off at fifty or
979
01:03:35.159 --> 01:03:39.119
sixty still really fast, still really
fast. So after a few minutes of
980
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:43.519
the chasing, Chuck crashes the skidoo
into a soccer net, how rides off.
981
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:45.639
We cut to Tom, who is
covering an ice sculpture competition and he
982
01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:50.039
comes across a kid who has sculpted
Chad Simmons. He tries to get the
983
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:52.280
chisel from him. There's a huge
struggle that happens live on the TV,
984
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:57.519
and the kid ends up kicking over
the ice sculpture, shattering it entirely.
985
01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:00.639
Then we cut back to the house
as Little prepares for a meeting. Randy
986
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:03.079
has snuck outside, and this is
when we have one of the cutest scenes
987
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:05.320
where she tries to get it back
in the house. They have a really
988
01:04:05.320 --> 01:04:09.039
cute little snowball fight, and that's
when she loses her phone. And that's
989
01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:12.519
the basically the end of the c
story because she decides that she's gonna play
990
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:15.000
with her son. So you think
Chevy got like a cool million for being
991
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:19.159
in this. I had to because
he's barely in it. And uh,
992
01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:23.480
I think he got like a just
straight up a million bucks. Yeah.
993
01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:26.480
So Natalie returns Meltar, one of
the figures, to the spot, and
994
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:32.079
that is when Enrique decided that Natalie
is loosing her mind, because the action
995
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:35.199
figure comes to life. No,
it's not when I decided. It was
996
01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:41.079
when the American Medical Association decided she
was a schizophrenic. The little Girl's like,
997
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:43.880
well, I guess it's all over, and then the doll is just
998
01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:48.000
like, wait, little Natalie,
you should be killing small animals. No,
999
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:53.039
Like, there's this whole scene where
they all stop motion animated, come
1000
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:55.800
to life. Allis of them to
give her advice. Yeah, it is
1001
01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:59.840
funny. Yeah, but as she's
just watching them, her eyes are all
1002
01:04:59.880 --> 01:05:01.599
just there's a light and all I
could think was like, this is a
1003
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:05.079
sign of a serious mental health health
problem. Yeah, like Louis, this
1004
01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:11.239
little girl is in a crisis right
this second. So Meltar convinces her not
1005
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:15.000
to give up and to unite the
kids to defeat snowplow Man together. So
1006
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:17.639
she takes Meltar and goes off again. Hol is ambush by Lane, who
1007
01:05:17.639 --> 01:05:20.400
tells him tough break with Claire,
and he still thinks that it's destiny.
1008
01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:24.679
And Lane's clearly fed up with this
and tells her to leave him alone,
1009
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:27.280
that she doesn't want to hear about
the super bracelet anymore. He chases after
1010
01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:30.119
her, asking her why she's so
upset, and that's when she turns around,
1011
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:31.840
planning a kiss on him, stating
that he said it was a snow
1012
01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:35.960
day and anything could happen. Wait, you mean to tell me the slightly
1013
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:43.760
tom boyish best friend that was in
love with him all along. I I
1014
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:47.920
will say, yeah, guys,
it's two thousand. That's a freaking trope.
1015
01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:51.360
That's a huge trope. But I
will say I felt like they did
1016
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:55.320
it in a cute way. They
really did, and they did the thing
1017
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:59.880
where she kept trying to help him
get the girl he wanted even though she
1018
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:04.719
liked him. They really pushed this
whole snow day is the day to try
1019
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:09.239
whatever thing you don't anything to try, and the impossible. Yeah, which
1020
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.400
I wish I could remember. I
watched that David Ducoveny movie that Meg Ryan
1021
01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:15.239
directed. Oh oh god, I
cant remember the title little bit, but
1022
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:18.639
it takes place on leap year,
on Leap Day, and that's one of
1023
01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:20.960
the big gags in that movie,
is like that leap Day is the day
1024
01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:25.239
anything can happen because it's extra.
But uh, it just made me think
1025
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:27.159
of that a little bit. But
no, so it's it's done pretty well.
1026
01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:30.920
He gives her a kiss, he
returns the kiss a bit, and
1027
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.519
then they separate, and then of
course we go immediately into the all is
1028
01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:39.559
lost, will they won't they?
Moment that every screenplay worth its salt should
1029
01:06:39.559 --> 01:06:42.800
probably have. So we cut then
to Chad Simmons, who is at a
1030
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:45.480
spot interviewing a crowd, and Tom
confronts him about being the first to call
1031
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:48.320
the storm. Chad is trying to
be like, you know, no,
1032
01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:50.360
no, I know what I'm talking
about, Like, you know, you're
1033
01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:54.000
you're just second tier. I'm the
big guy, and that's when Tom calls
1034
01:06:54.039 --> 01:06:56.519
him out and says, you know, why don't you explain where snow comes
1035
01:06:56.519 --> 01:07:00.639
from? And Chad just completely stutters
over these words and loses a crowd and
1036
01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:02.639
he has to admit in front of
everybody that he's a fraud and that Tom
1037
01:07:02.760 --> 01:07:06.880
was the first one to call the
snowstorm, giving Tom his redemption, basically
1038
01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:13.360
revealing that the other weather man was
just a television personality and not a true
1039
01:07:13.480 --> 01:07:16.559
meteorologist. Yes, so then we
meet Hal who's back at the pool.
1040
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:19.679
He catches Claire doing her dives.
Claire invites him up to the high dive
1041
01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:23.639
as they sit and you can kind
of see that he's a little uneasy.
1042
01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:26.400
He doesn't know. He didn't think
he would get this far, and that's
1043
01:07:26.440 --> 01:07:28.519
when she asked him, you know, you said anything can happen on the
1044
01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:30.000
snow days. This we had in
mind. She plans a kiss on him
1045
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:33.840
and he says, you know,
that is exactly what I thought would but
1046
01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:36.480
it's not feeling how I was supposed
to do, and he realizes what he
1047
01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:40.239
put Lane through. He starts going
through his mind about all the signs that
1048
01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:43.039
she was given today. I love
when you have emotions, you use like
1049
01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:48.599
eight extra words. Moving shut.
So Claire tells him that he knows what
1050
01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:54.400
he has to do. We then
see snowplow man arriving to the final unplowed
1051
01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:57.800
street that he has not touched yet, and he decides that he's going to
1052
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:00.599
give the wheel to Trudy. So
the bird fly and he starts driving with
1053
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:04.400
Trudy on the wheel. Natalie then
comes out from the side steps in front
1054
01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:08.559
of him. He pauses the plow
gets out and tells her, you know,
1055
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:10.840
get out of the way. She
says that she's not going to.
1056
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:14.079
He you know, comes at her
for a little bit and says, you
1057
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:16.479
know you've lost you know, get
over it. And that's when Natalie reveals
1058
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:19.920
that she is holding meltar and he
goes, oh, what's that and she
1059
01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:24.479
goes listen to the wind, and
that's when we hear the cry of a
1060
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:29.079
thousand kids who come from all sides
of the streets, and they're all holding
1061
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:32.000
hockey sticks. They're all ready to
rumble, and they all charge at Roger
1062
01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:35.920
and drag him away. And we
next see snowplow man tied to a caution
1063
01:08:36.199 --> 01:08:42.199
children playing sign, which is a
wonderful touch. Yes, and they leave
1064
01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:45.880
him tied to that sign. Yes, And I decided to do a little
1065
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:50.600
research for the show. Okay,
the average temperature no in February, let's
1066
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:55.439
just call it February, Okay,
Okay in Syracuse, New York is a
1067
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:59.000
high of thirty four okay, and
a low of seventeen. Oh my god,
1068
01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:03.199
So he died. He died.
He died because because no one came
1069
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:10.359
to help him. Because and then
they take the snowplow and they unplow the
1070
01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:15.640
entire town, thereby guaranteeing no school
tomorrow, to which I replied, it
1071
01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:18.560
would have been faster and easier to
just ram the plow through the school to
1072
01:09:18.560 --> 01:09:23.800
the school. Yes, so,
but I'm not a doctor. So snowplow
1073
01:09:23.880 --> 01:09:29.000
man is left to watch his plow
be driven away by three miners. Yes,
1074
01:09:29.479 --> 01:09:31.920
and they start unplowing all the streets
Meanwhile, we catch up the how
1075
01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:34.800
who returns to the rink to speak
to Lane, but he is ambushed by
1076
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:38.640
Chuck, who throws him around for
a little bit, but suddenly the snowplow
1077
01:09:38.680 --> 01:09:43.680
man or the snowplow breaks through an
ice wall and puts Chuck into into a
1078
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:47.479
mound of snow. Chuck looks out
and doesn't get creamed, but instead gets
1079
01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:51.640
stuck in a big snowplock again.
Left for dead. Left for dead,
1080
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:57.439
Yes, I joked that immediately that
because he's like all in the stokes of
1081
01:09:57.520 --> 01:10:00.159
one arm and head. I was
like, you know, the warm if
1082
01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:03.039
the snow's providing the insulation, is
gonna make him think he'll see the sun
1083
01:10:03.079 --> 01:10:06.000
again. But he will not.
He will. There is so much,
1084
01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:14.279
so much deep and dangerous assault.
As we wrap up with one final big
1085
01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:16.880
moment in the snow Day, David
so how thanks Nat for saving him,
1086
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:20.000
and Nat unveils that she borrowed Meltar. Howe tells her not to worry,
1087
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:23.960
that she he belongs to her now
and that to watch out, there's a
1088
01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:26.520
lot of saving of the world they
gotta do. He returns to the ice
1089
01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:30.159
and tells Lane that Delane tells him
she wants nothing to do with him,
1090
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:32.760
so he goes after her and he
slips, faking an entry on the ice
1091
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:36.039
lane, rolls over, and he
grabs her legs, pulling her to the
1092
01:10:36.039 --> 01:10:40.680
ground. They share a kiss,
they make up. We see them arrive
1093
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:44.279
together, and Tom is now back
at the weather station in pants. Randy
1094
01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:46.399
and Laura are laughing in the snow
together. Nate, Chett and Wayne are
1095
01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:53.279
happily again driving the snowplow, just
having a great time committing unspeakable felonies.
1096
01:10:53.399 --> 01:10:57.039
And the movie ends as we cut
back to Principal Weaver, who has finally
1097
01:10:57.119 --> 01:11:00.319
returned home. Oh, oh,
excuse me, you left out something really
1098
01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:02.640
important. What is that? The
older brother turned to his little sister.
1099
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.439
Yes, and he said, hey, because the next day is gonna be
1100
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:08.600
snow day. He said, do
you have any plans for the snow day
1101
01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:14.560
tomorrow? Telling us that tomorrow he
was going to finally spend that special time
1102
01:11:14.920 --> 01:11:18.319
with his little sister that he should
have all along, because now he's seen
1103
01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:24.239
what matters. And then we get
to that evil principle who did nothing other
1104
01:11:24.279 --> 01:11:27.960
than want to educate children, And
so he returns home. He gets behind
1105
01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:31.119
his door, he shuts it he
turns around laughing, only to immediately start
1106
01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:35.800
crying as snowballs belt him inside his
home. Yeah apparently, and they're in
1107
01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:41.279
his house throwing snowballs at him and
in my opinion, probably also stealing the
1108
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:46.159
colin right out of the wall.
And that is snow days to day than
1109
01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:51.840
Nickelodeon film. And I have to
say, first viewing, it was all
1110
01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:56.520
the dumb fun of kids movies that
I kind of miss. Yeah, I
1111
01:11:56.520 --> 01:11:59.000
feel like kids, and correct me
if I'm wrong. I don't watch as
1112
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:01.079
many kids movies as A used to, but I feel like kids movies aren't
1113
01:12:01.119 --> 01:12:05.319
as reckless as they once were.
They aren't as adult as they once were,
1114
01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:09.279
which I mean obviously makes sense,
but I feel like there was a
1115
01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:14.159
time and Nickelodeon was a major element
of this time period. There was a
1116
01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:18.560
time period when making entertainment for children
was kind of unknown, so it was
1117
01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:24.000
about outsider artists who couldn't get work
anywhere else would make the cartoons, they
1118
01:12:24.039 --> 01:12:27.560
would make the TV shows, and
this kind of was one of those last
1119
01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:30.720
feelings of like treating kids kind of
like little adults, but not like Harriet
1120
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:34.279
the Spy did. Harriet the Spy
did it perfectly, but snow Day did
1121
01:12:34.319 --> 01:12:39.800
it in a way that was funny
and a bit too insane. I mean
1122
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:43.680
they they the kids literally take over
the town. I was joking where they
1123
01:12:43.680 --> 01:12:45.520
were like, you know, there'll
be no snow Day. I was like,
1124
01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:49.960
tomorrow we take down the power grid
and the telephones. But yeah,
1125
01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:55.239
that is snow Day. I final
thoughts on this I, like I said,
1126
01:12:55.279 --> 01:12:57.840
I saw this opening night, I've
loved it ever since. This is
1127
01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:01.319
a Nickelodeon like top tier movie for
me, Like I remember watching this movie
1128
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:05.159
many times. The cast is great. Everyone big and small names work in
1129
01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:09.640
the movie, but Chris Elliott honestly
steals every scene he's into though. Yeah,
1130
01:13:09.640 --> 01:13:15.000
I would agree. And also the
soundtrack is two thousands af what's what
1131
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:16.119
do you mean? I mean,
let's just let's just list a couple of
1132
01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:19.720
artists here, all right. So
we've got smash Mouth, ninety eight degrees,
1133
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:25.520
LFO, Hoku, My Town,
the Hippos, Mighty Mighty Boss Tones
1134
01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:30.560
not to mention as well Brian Setzer
Orchestra, and uh my god, we
1135
01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:34.720
also have Skylar Fisk, who was
it was a like one time artist.
1136
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:43.119
Man. I love this movie.
I mean, the soundtrack is a massive
1137
01:13:43.199 --> 01:13:45.560
time capsule. Yeah. So as
we close, would you would you like
1138
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:49.840
to know one of the craziest behind
the scenes about snow Day, Uh,
1139
01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:55.920
something that actually happened is legit trivia. Yes, of course, a real
1140
01:13:55.960 --> 01:14:00.399
bank heist took place near the filming
location and the Felons drove right past the
1141
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:03.720
production assistant, who immediately alerted everyone
on set. The Felons were surprised to
1142
01:14:03.720 --> 01:14:08.520
see that they were driving through a
film set, shortly before driving headlong into
1143
01:14:08.600 --> 01:14:13.239
and becoming hopelessly stuck in a fake
snow drift. The police immediately apprehended the
1144
01:14:13.239 --> 01:14:19.039
two bumbling crooks, to the amusement
of all on set. That's hilarious and
1145
01:14:19.159 --> 01:14:23.840
talk about bad luck. And that
was in Vancouver. That was Alberta,
1146
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.800
Alberta. Yeah, And to give
you perspective on the snow, fifteen thousand
1147
01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:30.399
bales of hay plastic kept underneath to
keep the glround frozen. They used.
1148
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.560
They sprayed the trees with one hundred
and twenty foot of foam that they could
1149
01:14:34.560 --> 01:14:39.159
shoot up in the air. Snow
machines were used. They had tower systems
1150
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:42.399
that were used that were usually used
for water seer resort. Oh yeah,
1151
01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:46.479
yeah, yeah, And ski resorts
and it took over two hundred thousand truckloads
1152
01:14:46.520 --> 01:14:49.439
of snow to get everything set up
in the movie. Oh, I believe
1153
01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:54.960
that this is a very snowy movie. Yeah, the just the atmosphere alone
1154
01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:58.840
is really worth watching. No,
it absolutely is. So my final thoughts
1155
01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:01.760
on snow Day. This is an
absolute rented. You can find this readily
1156
01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:04.880
available right now to stream. You
can find it readily available to rent.
1157
01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:08.119
I don't think it has a Blu
ray yet, but you can still find
1158
01:15:08.119 --> 01:15:11.319
the Paramount DVD pretty cheap on it
and was out there in four K digitally.
1159
01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:14.079
Yes, it is shocked me.
Shocked me too, and I have
1160
01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:16.600
not seen it yet, but there
was in twenty twenty two, Nickelodeon did
1161
01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:20.319
a remake that is a musical.
Oh god, yeah, you know,
1162
01:15:20.399 --> 01:15:25.319
I try not to be a old
man shaking hand at the my hands at
1163
01:15:25.359 --> 01:15:29.079
the clouds, but like, okay, fine, yeah, And Jerry Trainer
1164
01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:32.119
plays the snowplow man who was the
brother on I Carly and he was also
1165
01:15:32.159 --> 01:15:35.720
crazy Stephen Drake and Josh if you
remember that. Unfortunately, that was the
1166
01:15:35.760 --> 01:15:40.560
last time ye time there yet,
But no snow Day Absolute rented. I
1167
01:15:40.640 --> 01:15:43.880
cannot recommend this movie enough. It's
a great family film. And like,
1168
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:45.880
like Enrique said too, like this
is this is kind of the kids movies
1169
01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:49.359
they really don't make anymore. Eight
farts eight farts. There were eight farts.
1170
01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:53.720
No, that's not my rating,
but there were eight farts. There
1171
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:57.319
were eight farts, all done by
Josh Peck, only by fat Kid,
1172
01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:00.159
lol, fat Kid. So we
always like to wrap up the show with
1173
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:04.119
a recommendation. I'm going to give
another movie that has a bunch of unruly
1174
01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:06.680
kids that again that they show.
You didn't say rent it, stream it
1175
01:16:06.800 --> 01:16:13.840
or I said, I said rent
it. I said rent it? What
1176
01:16:14.359 --> 01:16:15.479
I don't believe you, I said
rent it. No, I would also
1177
01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:18.359
give it a rent it. Yeah. But if you want a recommendation of
1178
01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:24.439
another movie where kids are completely crazy
and take over the place, I have
1179
01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:28.640
to recommend Heavyweights from nineteen ninety five. Oh, that's a really nice that's
1180
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:31.079
a really nice recommendation. Plump kids
are lured into a joint into joining a
1181
01:16:31.119 --> 01:16:34.239
posh fat camp with the promise of
quick weight loss in good Times, only
1182
01:16:34.279 --> 01:16:38.359
to find that it is a woodland
hell hole run by a psycho x fitness
1183
01:16:38.359 --> 01:16:42.039
instructor played by Ben Stiller and this
movie was also written by jud Appatow.
1184
01:16:42.399 --> 01:16:44.800
Oh oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah. If I had to give
1185
01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:48.640
a movie with similar vibes sleep Away
Camp nineteen eighty three. I'm just kidding.
1186
01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:53.359
I was like a camp Nowhere as
well, I have Nowhere would be
1187
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:57.279
or no, I do have one. Okay, bush whacked, Yes,
1188
01:16:57.399 --> 01:17:00.239
that's my that's my recommendation that may
have to be on the show. Some
1189
01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:02.520
Stern could have totally played snow plow
man. He would have done. I
1190
01:17:02.520 --> 01:17:05.119
don't think he would have been.
I think we would actually felt bad for
1191
01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:09.800
him. That's actually fair. I
think Stern has a lot of empathy.
1192
01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:14.239
So but no, I I think
I think it's a really fun movie and
1193
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:18.439
definitely worth watching, worth paying a
couple of shekels if you must to check
1194
01:17:18.479 --> 01:17:27.840
out snow Days from the Heyday of
Nickelodeon movie two thousand So Davy, Yes,
1195
01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:31.079
before we get out of here,
mm hmm, thanks for introducing me
1196
01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:34.880
to the movie battle. I really
did enjoy it. I guess it's on
1197
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:40.439
Paramount Plus and ship. Yeah,
but I also want to say a huge
1198
01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:44.920
thank you everybody who's been listening and
viewing every week. It's been really cool.
1199
01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:51.039
I've been a lot more jovial today
because I've slept the The months that
1200
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:57.000
we launched Do You Even Movie were
the most sleepless months of my entire life.
1201
01:17:57.079 --> 01:18:00.920
They were more challenging than when we
were doing the Freddy's Nightmares podcast while
1202
01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:05.159
I was coming off Zola. I
remember that, so I remember that I
1203
01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:10.399
barely do so. But no,
a really fun movie, and thank you.
1204
01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:13.159

1211
01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:43.880
strictly be movies that we've made out
too. That's fair for that would be
1212
01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:46.520
number one, yes, and then
Henry Portrait of Serial Killer for two.
1213

horrible breakup there horrible breakup and sitting
down on the couch and pulling up Netflix

1237
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:17.399
part where the brothers died though,
so which is most of the film fantastic.
