The Snowman, The Owl, and The Dog: A Naked Gun Comedy Breakdown
We dive into the Naked Gun reboot, a comedy that delivers jokes at breakneck speed while updating the franchise for modern audiences without losing its absurdist roots.
• Liam Neeson takes on the Leslie Nielsen role with mixed results, though the film still delivers constant laughs
• Pamela Anderson surprises with her comedic talents and willingness to poke fun at herself
• The film avoids problematic humor typical of early 2000s comedies while maintaining a high joke-per-second ratio
• Standout scenes include a jealous, murderous snowman yelling "Daddy!" and an owl with unexpected personality
• The movie literally names a "Plot Device" as its MacGuffin, acknowledging its focus on comedy over storytelling
• At 3.5/5 stars, it's a solid comedy that succeeds at what it sets out to do: make people laugh consistently
• The film subtly comments on social issues like police brutality and tech billionaires without becoming preachy
• Perfect for getting "blasted and just sitting there laughing" rather than analyzing deep narrative structure
no, I missed it, I was too early.
Speaker 2:You don't get it listeners yeah, he just told probably the funniest joke that we've had on this show, like easily it just took a long time for the recording to start.
Speaker 1:Sorry, yeah, I don't tell stories twice unless specifically requested well, there you have it.
Speaker 2:All right, folks, thanks for joining. This is high and dry podcast, the only podcast keeping alive the fandom of hemlock grove, netflix original. I'm your host with me as always. James crossland, luke how you guys doing you remember that?
Speaker 1:yeah, it was netflix. It was one of the Skarsgård brothers. It was a vampire. He was the weird little spindly creepy one.
Speaker 2:He's gone on to do most of the Skarsgård heavy lifting yeah.
Speaker 1:He was in Barbarian.
Speaker 2:He was it. He's getting ready to do the it show. He was the crow and Nosferatu and Nosferatu.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Nosferatu. Yeah yeah, we thought, we thought the other Skarsgård from True Blood was going to really, you know, take over, but he was in that Tarzan movie and everyone was like, no, we're done with this guy, we can't do this anymore.
Speaker 2:Well, he came back in Northman.
Speaker 1:Oh, did he. Yeah, northman was his last name in true blood. Was it a story of his character? From true blood, the exact story of his character from true blood it was like a viking epic kind of deal. Okay, it's pretty. It is pretty sick and he was good in it. I've never seen it. No it was good it's just like a hyper, hyper violent, just fucking yeah pretty much action movie, pretty much the whole time.
Speaker 2:My favorite Skarsgård oh sorry, go ahead. Oh well, no, please, did you have a?
Speaker 1:I was just gonna make a joke. I was just gonna say my favorite Skarsgård is Peter Sarsgaard from. He was the bad guy in Blade. Is he one of them? No, no, his last name is sars guard.
Speaker 2:It's real close, but he's my favorite, scars guard okay, no, I'm tracking deacon frost, if I remember correctly yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah he's kind of a cool vampire yeah, he was a was a cool vampire, best Skarsgård, anyway.
Speaker 2:So I wasn't able to see that one movie with the Viking guy from True Blood because I was too busy watching the actual movie we're going to do today, naked Gun, the remake, that one starring Liam Neeson, produced by Seth MacFarlane. We're going to be talking about that one and, for those of you who've never heard the show before, we break it down to a three-part method, all right. So round one, we're going to give you the definitive score out of five on this film. We're going to let you know if you need to skip it or not, or if you need to get in theaters immediately. Just take a guess. And then we're going to go into part two, where we get on a golden path, and we're going to really dive into the deeper meanings behind this film, to which there were several oh my god, yeah, just mind blown.
Speaker 2:I was asking questions well, hopefully they answer the sequel. And finally, we are going to insert ourselves drugs or alcohol into this film, and what makes us so special and unique is that we're going to be doing it drunk and high. So, fellas, uh, what are you smoking this week?
Speaker 1:luke I. I have a a new one called watermelon og, but I have a feeling this is gonna die, so I still have good old pineapple express as a backup. Watermelon and pineapple great combo. I'm a big fruit, like citrus in my um flower kind of guy, so it's good yeah, I uh gentlemen, I have uh, I'm gonna call it drebin poison instead of durban poison I don't know if you've you've heard of durbin poison right luke I feel like durbin poison is a pretty popular strain.
Speaker 1:I think that's very funny, that it's you've gotten another close chain. That's like so close.
Speaker 2:I'm looking for him now and I'll be joining you guys with something new. I haven't tried this one, uh, before I got devil's river bourbon whiskey. It's uh, 45 horsepower, 90 proof small batch. Apparently it's texas, I'm sorry. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, we'll see how it goes, I uh everything's picked it up for 30 bucks on sale. So my hopes, my hopes are not high but you never know they're dry.
Speaker 1:You never know we're high.
Speaker 2:All right, so let's load them up. So this first shot, first toast, this one goes out to the film this week. This one goes out to the Naked Gun Cheers.
Speaker 1:To Naked Gun, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:That tastes like a tobacco chewer spit.
Speaker 1:Average Texas drink yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the average Texas bourbon experience.
Speaker 1:You know, guys, damn, our energy is super low for this comedy. You'd expect that. You know, right in our wheelhouse I thought we were going to have so much more energy. I just don't feel energetic.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie to you. I have had some busy freaking weeks. I am, but I'm sure once I get this second shot, second toast in it's going to pick me right back up. The second one, second toast, second hit. This one goes out to our newest listeners. These ones are coming at us from where? Oh, there you are. Okay, I'm aging, I'm aging. Europe's always a what You're itching, I'm edging. I'm edging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, these are our newest listeners. They come from us, from Fort Pierce, Florida.
Speaker 1:Is that you, Luke? No, I'm in Orlando.
Speaker 2:It might be someone I know when the fuck is Fort Pierce.
Speaker 1:Give us a distance, a radius Fort Pierce would be. I'm 90% sure it's on the other coast by Fort Myers, almost Okay.
Speaker 2:It looks like Weston Florida also hit us up.
Speaker 1:Nice Thanks.
Speaker 2:Florida. Here's to you guys, cheers, yeah, I highly doubt that. Oh boy. I'm going to verify that.
Speaker 1:I didn't lie to you guys. Yeah, better not fucking lie. I lied. Oh my god, how are we ever supposed to trust you again? It's literally straight across from fort myers, so I just got the wrong side of the state ridiculous, uh, so I understand if you don't ever trust me again. I do, I get it.
Speaker 2:I'm not enjoying this at all. Oh my god. So this last toast, this one, goes out to the many lies Luke has told us and hopefully one day we can trust him again. Cheers, cheers, woo, cheers, woo All right, I'm feeling it, mr Krabs. Oh fucking hell.
Speaker 1:To the whole feeling. It's now Mr Krabs, the Naked Gun.
Speaker 2:Yes, Naked Gun no, it's not Naked Gun Directed by Akiva.
Speaker 1:Schaefer, famously a member of the Lonely Island yeah, lonely Island crew. I was looking and he did Hot Rod Pretty much anything he loves. Hot Rod's a banger, yeah, hot.
Speaker 2:Rod is a banger.
Speaker 1:That's a really good one. He did Grown Ups 2, neighbors, neighbors 2. I wasn't a huge fan of those but I know they had a following of some kind. But yeah, he kind of is just, I feel like, known for, just kind of like silly comedy.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh sure, yeah. Well, I just always thought like just uh being that guy, or just andy sandberg in general, like, correct me if I'm wrong. I was under the impression that those guys came literally from nowhere and now all of a sudden, you know you're directing the newest naked gun, like I'm pretty sure that it's like they came from.
Speaker 1:I'm on a boat, motherfucker, don't you? Yeah, like that is and then he's directing the naked, which is so I mean love it or hate it.
Speaker 2:I we got a movie here with a huge past and it's a big boots to fill. So what would you guys think?
Speaker 1:James, did you want to start this one off? Yeah, I'll go ahead and start this one off, so let's. I think it's really important to talk about my personal history with the Naked Gun franchise.
Speaker 2:You were a producer on the second one. Is that correct?
Speaker 1:oh yeah, so I. I took my college fund that was 12 at the time put it straight into naked gun. It was the naked gun two. It's like you got two and a half. I'm the one who came up with that. Put the half after it.
Speaker 1:So you're welcome, but now I I watched the naked gun movies when I was younger and I had, uh, no desire to see them again, and so I didn't. And then this movie came out and I watched it, so that's my history. The franchise was. I mean, I think this was a faithful adaptation of the franchise, which is just like really, really stupid jokes, really stupid Dad jokes. The whole movie, not even like yeah sure, I guess dad's. I mean, are we equating dad joke with stupid joke?
Speaker 1:Because I feel Dad joke is like just taking, it's like taking everything literal, like I feel like that's what it like taking someone's words, using them literally and being like, like, just like, hi, mine, oh hi, hungry I'm Luke. Like yeah they said I'm hungry. That literally means that you are that how you who you are. Yeah, means that you are that's how you who you are. Yeah, I love the snowman. Oh, yeah, I love the snowman, yeah the snowman was a standout scene.
Speaker 2:That's what it was like. No, man.
Speaker 1:As soon as I saw them build a snowman, I was like they are going to the snowman is going to come to life. I knew immediately. But then, when they pulled out the book of spirits, I was like oh shit, this is awesome, oh I remember like there they started kissing. I looked at my camera. I was like they're gonna have a three-way she's and she goes, she just like this so she's like no I like the smoke, the snow cone syrup I thought that was a good, that was a really great touch.
Speaker 2:I loved when one of the ones that stood out for me was uh, how did your wife pass, and so she had an arm like a cannon she could have made it into leak, and then they leaned into it?
Speaker 1:yeah, we'll never know if she made it to pros oh, she was a saint.
Speaker 2:Uh, no, not a saint uh, just not the browns oh god, I enjoyed that when she had an arm like a cannon yeah, that was also a really great joke.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so is a dad joke subverting the language that's being used. Is that like a dad?
Speaker 2:joke yeah I consider that a dad I feel like that's sort of what it evolved to be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could agree with that I like language subversion, so I guess I do, and that was huge dad jokes.
Speaker 1:I loved the jokes in this for that reason, and they were just giving it to a 45 seconds. Every 45 seconds, give another one, dad, dad, yeah, like, and honestly it was making me. I was just chuckling the whole time. Did you enjoy the cold cases where they? Or did you miss that where they came out and it was like a freezing room and then it was like the fog of like chill rolling out and it was cold cases it was really quick, they didn't linger on it. It was just like in the background.
Speaker 2:I also. I love the ongoing coffee gag as well.
Speaker 1:I enjoy that. I also enjoyed the OJ Simpson thing there really fast.
Speaker 2:I love the ongoing coffee gig as well. I enjoy that. I also enjoyed the OJ Simpson thing there really fast, yeah, where all kids are like thanking their father and then he's like no. And then also it's from Bill Cosby's private reserve.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh God. Damn yeah, what was that, oh God? Yeah, what was that, oh god?
Speaker 1:that was, that was I did enjoy pamela anderson scatting, so this is just gonna be like our. I think this is. We're just gonna go through a rundown of our favorite jokes. That's just all this section is gonna be, because that's what this movie boils down to. It is. It's just what jokes did you enjoy in the movie? As soon as she got up, I burst out. That was the up, I burst out. That was the one where I burst out laughing.
Speaker 1:I loved you. What's his face? The guy who was playing the evil guy? Oh, danny Hudson. When he was just sitting there. He's like, yeah, like he's just eating it up. It's so fucking good Well.
Speaker 2:I was really happy to see Danny Hudson do something like this. He's been like ever since 30 days of night. He has been evil behind the scenes, Bad guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like a one note bad guy. Yeah, and he played a parody of that in this Uh huh and I, so I did enjoy seeing that.
Speaker 2:I also enjoyed the um, the sort of uh, when Liam Neeson was interrogating the like the right hand man kevin durand yeah, and uh, he's attached to the hospital yeah, and it's just all the pressure of him now being a fitness influencer and yeah, and one of your cellmates, he gets out too, but he's all about body positivity and now you're all about intermittent fasting and no carbs he's eating cheeseburgers while you're having to be miserable that's what does it in, so I I did enjoy it quite a bit, um sure.
Speaker 2:Well, so well, I'm excited to hear your scores and what's your reasonings on something like this. Like I don't think we have ever done a movie like this.
Speaker 1:We've never done a movie that's completely irreverent, like it has no reverence for like film it's. You know, it's parodying itself. The film is just a way to get us from joke to joke. It's parodying itself. The film is just a way to get us from joke to joke. It has no reverence for storytelling or itself or anything like that, or acting. It doesn't have any reverence for acting. So it subverts everything on our list Except for Hold on. Let me think about soundtrack.
Speaker 1:One thing they did subvert which I was disappointed about was I wanted busta rhymes. I wanted them to give busta rhymes a reason to say shit really fast. And then I wanted liam neeson to do it back like that's the joke. You, if you have busta rhymes in your movie, that's like missing an opportunity to have like OJ kill someone and and then go on trial. If you had him for a movie after that shit happened, you'd totally have that His character do that, uh, uh. But yeah, I feel like sometimes the jokes didn't land. But that's the thing about joke volume is you spray out as many as you can and then people usually forget the one, as long as it's not like offending them as a person or their sensibilities. They just forget the bad and then only the good remains. But let me see for scores. Acting I'd give acting. I thought pamela anderson did a really good job I did.
Speaker 2:I thought she was and I was happy to see her. I enjoy like especially, I feel like she in particular. She comes from and you know her career. Obviously she comes from a time when, um, I mean actresses were discarded after a certain point and I thought it was really great to see her come back and still be lovely and funny and I was really happy with that, for sure.
Speaker 1:If you like that and you like the idea of a woman being discarded because of her age. She did a movie called Showgirl. I do not like that concept. Oh, no, no, I mean, do you like a movie based on that that tackles that concept? Yes, yes, uh, she did a movie called showgirl. It's on hulu right now and it's about her aging out of being a showgirl in vegas and like the perceptions of the world changing around beauty and uh, and about her own place in it and it's. She did an excellent job in that too. She's really she. She's her, her stuff. When she was younger she wasn't great, but she's like, become a really, I think, a very good actress I do too oh yeah I agree and she also did stripperella, that cartoon on uh spike tv.
Speaker 2:Everybody remember stripperella well, we, we did a, we did a stripperella one time with the forgotten tv thing we do in the beginning oh did we, oh shit, okay, well, yeah, stripperella also. She did a good job making fun of herself for that yeah, yeah no and I thought she was legitimately funny in this one and, uh, I was. I enjoyed her, I did. I was happy with both of their ability to not take themselves seriously, both, both of them.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, and Paul Walter Hauser was there giving strong support as one of the straight men. You know it's interesting that he played a straight man. He's usually like really wacky, yeah, but he was the straight man this time.
Speaker 2:He was the mole person. He was mole man in Fantastic.
Speaker 1:Four. Yeah, in Fantastic Four we just saw him. He's having a moment. The man is having a moment. He's in like four movies this year. Um, yeah, I'm enjoying him. Yeah, I'm enjoying him too. He does an understated weird guy a lot of the time, and this time he was just a. He always expected something weird to come from him and it didn't he just it was just a wall, it was great.
Speaker 1:And his reaction on the uh claw scene game where they had the claw machine for the car that was, that was the car crash and then it drops it. Oh, that was another standout for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was another standout one of my favorite parts from that was when he's like I've seen enough, it's a suicide.
Speaker 1:For acting. I think I'm going to give this a 3.5. It was nothing amazing. Honestly, I didn't think Liam Neeson did that great of a job. I thought he was flat a lot of the time in a way that wasn't sarcastic enough about his flatness. It seemed like he was trying in some places and not doing well enough for me. Uh, so 3.5 cgi was terrible. There was one scene that they did that I would have been cool with it if they did the whole movie this way, but they like sped up the camera to do like an old film joke with the frames increased to make it look like things were moving faster, where he punched the person in the bank and he went sliding and then the other people fell over like bowling pins yeah if they had done that in all the movies.
Speaker 1:That was a. That didn't get me and I felt like a lot of the movie didn't get me and I felt like a lot of the movie didn't get me. The owl scene didn't get me. I enjoyed the owl as well.
Speaker 2:The snowman the owl, anything anthropomorphic, I am in Like let's do that. That was for me.
Speaker 1:I just was dying because he just kept saying daddy, I was like daddy, what do we do?
Speaker 2:Yeah, saying daddy. I was like daddy, what do we do? Yeah, well, but then I was like at the same time, like look, I went into this one and I even said it to, uh, my girlfriend. We were in line and I'm like I don't have high hopes but I spent the whole time freaking, laughing. So, like you know, it did do, and even us sitting here talking about it, we're like it's just. Yeah, that made me laugh, that made me laugh, that made me laugh.
Speaker 1:So, you know, like yeah, but I have to judge the cinematography of it yes, yes uh, one thing I can say about the cinematography, that is it.
Speaker 1:It did a lot of storytelling with the camera, which is something that we say we should always do. It did interesting things with the camera, which is something that we say we should always do. It did interesting things with the camera Too many to name, you know, because it was just from one thing to another. It was like he threw a bunch of things like here are all the things we think are funny or cool or would be interesting. Here's everything we know. And they put it in a blender and poured it out and it was a movie. Um, so it's hard to tell cinematography. A soundtrack. I can you do? You guys know anything about the soundtrack? I don't remember anything. I'm sure there were sound jokes. Were there any? That's usually how we are well.
Speaker 2:So there were a few and they did pull. So actually, after I got out of theaters I went back and I watched the original Naked Gun and I will say the original Leslie Nielsen far superior as far as the acting for the comedy, obviously, but the movie itself made me laugh less than this new one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just out of touch. It's references. We didn't get it references a time before the internet, which we fucking was wild. Can you think about what it was like before the internet and how much you knew and how much media you consumed? Now? Literally, we consume like a hundred times more media than we did back then and there's just like I can. I can hardly remember a time before the internet. My brain is so fucking crammed full of this shit. I'm serious. Soundtrack three Story. I don't know how am I supposed to do this? Why'd you make me go first?
Speaker 2:I generally compare to the epic of Gilgameshh and I feel that that helps me really rate these things, or just, you know, uh, I feel like it's on par with, um, godfather 2 um, I've never seen godfather 2 um well, this makes it hard how does it? How does?
Speaker 1:it compare to march of the penguins oh, let's, let's not go so far. Come on now, Okay so story two there was nothing there. There was nothing there. Story.
Speaker 2:Well, and I think they said that right away, when you see the device and it's literally called plot device. Hey guys, there's no story here. Just get ready for scene to scene. Eventually there's going to be a snowman and we think you enjoy that.
Speaker 1:Does story encompass just writing? Cause, if, just if we're just talking about writing, but if we're talking about narrative, there was, there wasn't one.
Speaker 2:Look, I feel, I look. Look, this is a podcast. It's heard around the world with dozens of fans and I feel like they, just they believe your judgment and this is new territory for us.
Speaker 1:We don't generally do comedies, so taking a new place, man like let's uh, I think open this up the the amount of things they were willing to do. The scene where it looked like they were fucking the dog, like you could tell my theater was so uncomfortable. You tell my theater was so uncomfortable. Just sit there, same same everyone. The theater was so quiet, that was wild.
Speaker 2:I was not anticipating that at all. That's how it got. That's how it got to fucking our rating.
Speaker 1:That was the bluest scene in any naked gun film that was even now just cracking it because you don't see that shit. Uh, that's something you don't see, and the number of bounds they pushed for jokes was pretty good, so I'd give this a Tell our story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to incorporate writing into it, just writing the situations that you come up with in your film, that the writer has to do. And then rewatchability I'm definitely gonna re-watch this movie. Uh, I'm gonna get really high and watch this movie very soon. Uh, I'll probably go back to the theater to see it again. I'm gonna give this a four. I don't think I'm gonna re-watch it forever. I think maybe I'll watch it a couple times. Did anyone else notice that when the dude's face got slammed on the bar, one of the faces that came up was andy samberg? Yeah, yeah, I did. I want to see it.
Speaker 1:I gotta see it again at least a few times, just for those things, because I know I didn't catch everything.
Speaker 2:So that's a four okay, hell yeah, solid, solid pretty solid rating.
Speaker 1:You go next.
Speaker 2:You go next, ryan yeah, so for me, yes, uh. So I mean I got a few points actually for the golden path, just in terms of how I feel that this is rewatchable. Just the way the comedy was done it was all freaking wordplay. No one was attacked in this movie. Yeah, it's not like our generation. Just the way the comedy was done it was all freaking wordplay. No one was attacked in this movie. Yeah, it's not like our generation. Especially, we talk about Not Another Teen Movie and Scary Movie. But try and watch that shit again and you're like, oh fuck, and you just feel sick inside Sharon and I went to a public showing of Scary Movie after not having seen it in many years.
Speaker 1:We went to a. Well, we should just for starters.
Speaker 2:Well, we should save it okay yeah, yeah, yeah, um, because that that's what I feel like we're actually able to talk about here golden pathways, okay. So I would say, though, that, acting I I thought, uh, pamela really brought it. I uh, I enjoyed and and I have become a fan of his over time kevin durant I think that he's good, I, I do, and every time I see him, I'm always like you know, like he always gets some b roll somewhere, and I've started to really enjoy him.
Speaker 1:I like him a lot, um, I always recognize him from wild hogs, which is just a weird pull, but I don't know really. That's where you recognize him from like that was probably the first movie I had seen him in as a kid and then, like I know him from the strain uh, the strain the guillermo del toro television show about vampires the. It was like a war. I know him from, from Real Steel too.
Speaker 2:I've always enjoyed him. Abigail was a terrible movie and he was in it and I'm still trying to forgive him for that. Him and I have. You know we've been talking for a while and I'm going to get there, just going to take some time.
Speaker 1:He's also in another one of my favorite movies Mystery Alaska, which I think is one of the best sports movies you can watch okay, and I did like liam neeson in this one.
Speaker 2:I um, I was in the line for this film and I I had dragged my uh girlfriend to this one and uh, you know, she's very, um, culturally sensitive and all those things. And she explained, explained that I guess Liam Neeson did some racist crap a little bit ago. I wasn't aware of that and then I explained to her that, well, I was the one who reminded you that Michael Fassbender did that assault crap and that broke her heart and it's like, who do we even like anymore, right?
Speaker 1:There should be a system, though that's the thing. There should be a system to weed those people out. We shouldn't have to make that decision. As consumers, we should be able to say governing body, don't let them do that anymore.
Speaker 2:You can't just keep letting them do it to you some time ago that we need to make the allegation cyclopedia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a simple app on your phone where you can just scan the poster of any film or tv show you're about to ingest and it just gives a down the list of like hey, he struck his girlfriend. Or hey, he, you know, asked to eat someone and you know those sorts of yeah, so yeah, I'm still a big proponent for the allegation cyclopedia.
Speaker 2:I feel that's something that we need. But anyway, acting, I'm gonna give a four, I think. Uh, everyone knew the assignment. They came in and they, I think they pulled it off, but did anything stand out? In particular the snowman, um his acting like his angry face was fantastic. The angry face, yeah, when he switched to being jealous and angry, so good yeah so yeah, I'll give that a four.
Speaker 2:Um cinematography, there were some rough moments, but I feel that was on purpose. The parts where I was pulled out of it was when we were in the high-tech expos and we were looking at the tesla car and all those sorts of things.
Speaker 2:That's when all of a sudden it felt like we were in an austin powers film and, yeah, like they're in the same genre, but they, they're very, very different. The cinematography did pull me out of it in those moments. So I'm going to give that a three. The Owl brought me back, but not up to a four. Soundtrack they reutilized the old soundtrack in a good way. They didn't overutilize it. Just having the old soundtrack to pull from, I I feel, gave them an extra little boost. So a 3.5. If you're looking for that nostalgia um story, I haven't seen a story like this since, uh, titanic dances with wolves. It's up there. So I'm gonna start on this one, three, three and rewatchability and this is something I do want to discuss when we're on the golden path is this is a comedy I could actually fucking watch and there was no point where I was like fuck dude, and that was great and it still made me, even with the dog, threesome um they weren't actually fucking a dog they weren't actually fucking the dog.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was just a misunderstanding it was just a misunderstanding these things.
Speaker 1:If I had a nickel, it won't let me around dogs anymore. My god, they don't even know I have remy, and so I like that.
Speaker 2:For the rewatch ability, I like that no one was abused in the making of this comedy, and so for rewatch ability, I know when it comes out I'm gonna buy it, I know I'm gonna watch it again. Um, I know, just whenever I want a relaxing like normally I relax with, like the evil dead series and you know things of that nature. So it's nice to add that to my relaxed repertoire.
Speaker 1:Just in the background. Daddy daddy, daddy daddy. What do we do, daddy?
Speaker 2:And so is it. Is it on the level of we're watching it every Christmas? No, but rewatch ability, I'll give it a four. So is it on the level of we're watching it every Christmas? No, maybe, but rewatchability, I'll give it a four. I'm going to give it a four.
Speaker 1:Good scores. Good scores.
Speaker 2:All right, bring it home.
Speaker 1:It's very interesting because you guys are. So I thought Barry harsh on the story, if I'm 100% honest, I'll touch on that, but I think that the acting was device, yes, but you'll hear me out, the. So the acting I feel like was solid. I don't think that the way a comedy is set up is ever really set up to deliver anybody to give a groundbreaking performance in any way right form. So, um, but pamela anderson, I thought, like you guys said, was really good. Liza Kashi, I think, is how you say it. She's like an old Vine star and I always found her very funny. She was like the detective that took over the bank robbery and she was just like a side character. No one took away from it for me. So I gave the acting a four. The cinematography is.
Speaker 1:I think that, like he said, james, it was just used to. Just, it was just because they needed a platform to like tell these jokes on. Yeah, I didn't think anything was innovative. I, I really, but nothing like was like, I'm not like, oh my god, like um, so I, I did, I, I just don't think that you can uh, give it any higher than really like a, a three, because you know it's not revolutionary, it's just like, uh, a medium for the content.
Speaker 1:It wasn't innovative, it was competent, you know, and yes, yeah, I think if you look at an older movie of his, like hot rod, where some scenes were innovative, you know at the time he innovated on creating the blocking for these scenes that made him like really excellent, whereas this one was just like it was things that he'd learned over his career that were done confidently, yeah, yep, and but it was still good for the comedy. I think it wasn't like a bad thing necessarily, so I gave it right. Uh, soundtrack I it was one of those that didn't really add but didn't really take away. However, pamela anderson's like scatting is a part of the soundtrack, by the way, if you ask me that is that adds.
Speaker 1:It adds me, but I ended up giving it a three because, uh, it was one that I can't say that in scenes I I really remember I think that the jokes were kind of the solid point of the movie and yeah what everything else became a sidetrack for me. But that's where I get to story where I think that they were really just doing a play on all bad cop and bad detective, bad spy movies and I feel like they continued, but that's like a theme and it was a vision that he wanted to tell.
Speaker 1:That's all he wanted to tell and it threw the movie forward. So picture every bad movie where, like you know, it might not be bad the whole way through, but something just throws it forward and it's like they did that the entire movie through. And I feel like it was exactly what he wanted to do when he was telling this story of just a ridiculous cop, and he did it in a very funny way, which is what the comedy is supposed to do. It's supposed to be a funny movie that just makes you laugh and doesn't have to necessarily be a great story. And this, also, like him leaning into the bad cop movies, just made it like he's allowed to do that. Oh, so you're saying, in this instance, the fact that it was a cohesive vision, for you bumped the story up because you said it wasn't about story, and so that to me makes it seem like it's probably not as good, yeah, but not fantastic, but it's, you know where you're comparing it to something like that has a you know superman.
Speaker 1:That's like telling a true story and like it's. I don't know compare it, but if you're just comparing it to like a comedy, I think that it was. I think he had a cohesive vision and it bumped up. I gave it a 4.5. I laughed a lot and I really the vision really.
Speaker 1:But I think it's the way I'm defining story, yeah, and then when you watch ability, I gave it 3.5 because I'm definitely going to watch it again For sure, probably a couple of times. Like you said, just get blasted and just sit there and laugh, yeah, chuckle stupidly to yourself Exactly, does that mean we have the score? And chuckle stupidly to yourself exactly, does that mean we have a score and that gives us a total score of 3.5 out of 5 for the pretty good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fair, I think that's where it deserves to be I do our method, our product is like. Genre is irrelevant. We're going to give you the proper score yeah like we're better than fandango and absolutely, and that was a 3.5 on the nose.
Speaker 1:We didn't. That's no rounding it was. I don't know who's gonna say that this movie is their favorite movie I don't think anybody is gonna say that this is their favorite movie, but like 70 of people are gonna be like you know, a lot of those jokes landed with me because there were like so many jokes the jokes per second were off the fucking chart it was impressive, though you're talking about the jks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, uh, and I was clocking that as well but you know, I think the story really took it down and I think it's because you look at other stories that akiva schaefer's been involved in. Like we said, hot rod, pop star, like those movies have and pop star. Yeah, those movies have character progression and a story delineation and they also have really high jokes per second and I feel like they were more cohesive than this one.
Speaker 2:I thought this one was really just a a wild shot, like a shotgun blast, of trying to just do anything I feel like what they were trying to do was be like I said, I got out of the theaters and the first thing I did was put on the original naked gun. And it's the same fucking movie. Like it's the same. You match the style. Yes, it's the same. Uh, jk jps, without a doubt. Yeah, even just like there's background jokes going on time. So I think that's what they're trying to do. They're like this is this is naked gun. Yeah and well, so I I think it's time for us to get on the golden path, and I think we're all skeptical, but I feel like we do have some things to talk about here yeah, so, and I would like for you to start it off good sir.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, well, you lead us before we, uh, get into that, it's time for our final toast, our final shot, our final hit. This one, I mean, goes to a solid score in my opinion. So this one goes out to a comedy film that was competently made, well done and, honestly, for me, our show likes to concentrate on rather negative films, and so just having an R-rated comedy genre film in theaters before we do Weapons next week.
Speaker 1:Naked Gun was PG-13. No, it was R?
Speaker 2:I thought it was R dude, that dog scene dude, how positive are you? I feel pretty positive, I feel like it was Click a button when I bought the tickets.
Speaker 1:Maybe I was looking at a different movie.
Speaker 2:This is a big moment.
Speaker 1:PG-13. Oh, this says PG-13.
Speaker 2:What the fuck Mine was. There's no way that dog scene was fucking PG-13.
Speaker 1:They weren't actually fucking the dog though. I know that, but the implication Google Reviews has Naked Gun at a 3.5 right now. Google Reviews knows what's going on rotten tomatoes has it on a 91, holy shit well, again rotten tomatoes fumbles the wall, uh rotten tomatoes has no idea what they're fucking doing so it's funny because google reviews has like a ton of five star and a ton of one star and just smatterings in the middle which I, whose favorite movie is this.
Speaker 2:You're going to love or hate it. Really, I don't think so. If you give this movie a one, get the fucking dildo out of here. Just chill out, man.
Speaker 1:If you give this movie a five, slap yourself with that dildo.
Speaker 2:Wake yourself up, see a better movie. See more movies, yeah no, look that whole positive, negative. It's either the best thing I've ever seen or the worst thing I've ever seen. That shit ended in the 2010s millennials. It's time to move on. So, all right, here's to here's just to a decent comedy Finally fucking showing up in theaters Really decent comedy.
Speaker 1:Cheers. That's two decent comedies this year.
Speaker 2:And I also like that it's on the second half of like Superman coming out. I mean, granted, these are all signs that we're headed like fucking we're sprinting towards a recession Right headed like fucking, we're sprinting towards a recession, right. But I, I love that we have some like positive content to finally start filling my fucking eye holes with. So did you watch friendship?
Speaker 1:did you guys watch friendship? Yeah, yeah, I was friends. That was. Friendship was really hilarious. Sorry, I've been thinking a lot about your busty daughter and how everybody's looking at her. I think that was a joke. I like the code. Oh my God. Oh, that was a big lick, dude. What do you mean? It's a big lick.
Speaker 2:All right, fellas, it's time to jump onto the golden path. All right, we've had enough spice. It's time to dive into the deeper meanings of naked gun, so I'll kick it off. So there's two things that I liked about it. One that you know we're. We're in a society, in a world right now, where we don't have any comedy and the only things we had to fall back on were always those like those college fucking things from the early 2000s and just all these nostalgic things where, if you watch it again, it's trash a lot of really gross comedies that came out when we were coming of age.
Speaker 1:Like american pie you go back at. Like the idea of filming someone while they're changing now would be like total. It offends the sensibilities you're like you. You cannot do something like that to someone without consent. But like apple pie was one of. We were like getting a resurgence of a generation from like the people, like animal yeah yeah, we're. We're like did not respect consent and we got it right when we were like 13. And it really poisoned our minds.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I guarantee that it was introduced to you by some jackass father or stepfather or uncle, right, and like you need to see this, like this is going to, yeah, and it was just trash. And so you know, at the end of the new Naked Gun they did the whole jazz bit where the camera is following the top of the police cruiser just through weird places. Watch the original Naked Gun. It goes through a women's locker room, right. Well, yeah, and I'm like, well, fuck, but this new one has sensible boundaries, about consent, about all those things and so for that.
Speaker 1:Um, as far as, yeah, it's amazing that they didn't tell a racist joke. As far, as I remember the only one they said they said, they said uh, they said the hard are for the special needs.
Speaker 2:They did but it was the bad guy who did it. It was, it was, it was.
Speaker 1:I'm just, I'm just saying like that, like that was the only line. And then they also, I feel like, did do a little bit of like kind of misogynistic gaze, a little bit on pamela anderson, especially in this scene where it's like all the cops are just like sitting there, like having like dirty thoughts, but very minor again, didn't take away where I wasn't like oh my god, terrible it was and it was.
Speaker 2:It was an homage to yeah, it was an homage to the joke of the original naked gun, which was an homage to noir. La, uh, cop things where you have that inner dialogue, and she was all legs all the way up to her neck yeah, and it's like all having it and going through the same exact.
Speaker 1:Yeah, lucky fobos they played on that a couple times and the joke was that everyone was objectifying her right. That was the joke, exactly. Yeah, like pointing out the bad behavior, and even liam neeson, hey guys yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I also appreciated, uh, the bit they did, where he is talking to the bartender and uh, the bartender goes you shot my father and he's like I've shot thousands of people. When he says he was running away, all right, 500 people, he was white.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're, kevin, whatever's kid brother I think, and he's like, how's he doing?
Speaker 2:not great. And that was. That was a solid joke. It was making fun of an actual problem, an actual situation, society. It was not punching up, it was punching sorry, it was not punching down, it was punching up at this fucking boot that we keep voting to put on our fucking necks. And so I appreciate that, like I, I can't watch the old comedies anymore, and so it's we need to replenish our stock of fucking comedy, and I feel that this new naked gun started yeah hopefully, this is still phenomenal.
Speaker 1:I still watch it and I still enjoy stepbrothers. It's stupid, but I haven't seen in a long time it's so stupid. That one never really hit with me, but I should probably try it again if it holds up. That's important. But I did enjoy it a lot as a kid, like in my teens early pre-teens maybe and it was just so maybe I have a lot of nostalgia held with it as well.
Speaker 2:I still quote it don't try to watch like old school. Well yeah, old school was uh freaking colin farrell doing those same fucking films that, uh, you know like, hey, here's porky's again, will farrell, he said I was like colin farrell, totally watch that movie. Do you see that he just got put in?
Speaker 1:a romantic thing with margot robbie yeah, out of nowhere, he's gonna do a romantic thing with margot robbie yeah, no, yeah, out of nowhere.
Speaker 2:He's gonna do a romantic thing with margot robbie and I'm very interested at the pairing, especially because the last time we saw colin farrell was as the penguin, so maybe we'll do that on this show.
Speaker 1:We'll see what happens but uh, he was in banshee's the intro and you should check out that one.
Speaker 2:That's a laugh specifically not to see that one. You said that that one would put me in a depression.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's, but you, your life has progressed in a positive direction since then.
Speaker 2:I'm capable of digesting that content, metabolizing it yeah, yeah yeah, jesus Christ, did you guys have any thoughts that you wanted to toss down on the golden path? Before we move on to our part three? Christ, did you guys have any thoughts that you wanted to toss down on the golden path before we move on to our part three?
Speaker 1:I do think that this movie does a good job of just kind of making fun of stereotypes and being very obvious with it. I don't know if that can even be considered a golden path.
Speaker 2:I also appreciate the bad guy's, elon Musk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah. I feel like you're being straightforward with just some of their points. It was very clearly a corporation. And there's the bad guy, literal Elon Musk.
Speaker 2:But that's become a genre of villain. Now is Elon Musk. Well, I mean he was already a villain before that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's a terrible human being and the hyper-rich have always sucked, which is just the facts of life, unfortunately. But tech get a weird following so I actually have.
Speaker 2:A friend of mine is an ex um muskian he he was totally. When I first met this dude back in, uh, he was totally convinced that elon musk was going to bring us to a technological utopia. And he had an excuse.
Speaker 2:He did Every weird fucking thing that Elon was saying back in those days. And I'm already on the side of you know, eventually he's going to attach himself to an authoritarian and working way into office and it's going to be like fuck, you want a cyberpunk dystopia. Elon Musk is how you get there. And then in the previous election even he's like I was wrong, I was wrong, you were right, I, I fucked up. Yeah, I know you did, I know you did, I knew you did back then, but I I love like lex luther in the new superman was just a fucking Elon Musk template. Yeah, like a more capable Elon Musk, willing to fucking roll up his sleeves and get down to. And I feel maybe we should have touched on this in the Golden Path. I feel that Lex Luthor provided us an image an inappropriate image of the rich that he was willing to roll up his sleeves and get down to work. He didn't get out there and fight Superman.
Speaker 1:He stood behind a desk and ordered some poor clone to do it. Poor dumb clone who has no clue what he's doing.
Speaker 2:I feel like he put more work in than any billionaire I've ever fucking heard of, and I feel that that sets a poor precedence for us. There was a lot of work ethic in that little tower.
Speaker 1:Sure, and I don't feel like I don't very industrious bad guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't feel we should be associating that with that archetype, because you know some of the tech bros and joe rogan podcasters could really, you know, see that as a positive. But that's just me with lex luther.
Speaker 2:Yeah, god damn it, god damn it god damn it, we're in the worst timeline. You're all wrong, uh, but anyway, you're just wrong, but anyway. So I feel like we're ready to move into the third portion of this thing. Um, you know, with 10 minutes on the clock, I think it's time to insert ourselves drugs and or alcohol into this film. So, fellas luke, you're the one who hasn't started one of the portion yet. If you were in this film, how would it change? How would you be?
Speaker 1:um, I would like to be. Hmm, I think I'd like to be the henchman, um of the I want to be yeah, I want to be yeah yeah, yeah, I want to be the henchman.
Speaker 1:I want to play that role. I don't want to. I don't want to be do much worse, like different than kevin durant did. Right, he did a phenomenal job, so I want to take away from his performance. But I just think, being just kind of a dumbass who's just going through it, just like yes, sir, like, just like like following orders. Basically, yeah, this is a mindless movie and I want to be a mindless character in it and just kind of like watching everything unfold from the background and I also probably be telling people the secrets. I'm like, hey, this guy is fucking evil as shit. Uh, this is his plan, this is his stall.
Speaker 1:They'd have a full confession from me, um, and I'd be in witness protection by the end of the movie I would sing like a canary, yeah and that's how I want to be in the naked gun helping liam neeson and ben wayne anderson bring justice.
Speaker 1:All right, james. I mean you'd be against them. Part of it, part of it. Well, that's all part of my plan, though you're definitely going to jail. That's fine, because you get to come out and be an influencer, but your cellmate comes out and he's all body positive. So that's what you change, is that you just be body positive and then everything will be okay. Fantastic movie. So let's see, I would, if I was introduced into this movie, I would. I found it really interesting that this movie didn't have any drunk or high jokes in it. It didn't have any Right. This is not a stoner film.
Speaker 1:Really weird for the crew that gave us Hot Rod and Popstar. You know those for sure. The original ones didn't either. Oh, they didn't have any drunk jokes or anything. Because no, it's no, it's really interesting because fucking david zucker did airplane and that movie for sure has drunk and high jokes in it, like that that was a stoner film.
Speaker 1:That was like on the og list airplane is a movie that is problematic, but I would watch again. That's what I'd do. Okay, I'd show up, I'd be in this movie as the captain from airplane, and then I, then I would bring I would bring drinking and drugs into the movie and it would in that middle part where it was kind of lulling between, like the uh, between the scene where he almost shit himself and the and the snowman scene, I'd be in there and instead of the tech shit we would be uh, uh in a club or something. I don't know.
Speaker 2:It would keep everyone interested well, I feel that this portion of the podcast in particular is difficult for us because we're generally inserting ourselves into serious film, right, and it makes it much easier.
Speaker 1:We tend to subvert it. Right, we tend to subvert the seriousness of the film. How do you subvert the comedy of the film? You can't do it by being serious.
Speaker 2:I think you can by being serious. No, by being serious. I think you can by being serious, so no would be an anthropomorphic object who tries to kill them on a threesome. The snowman was a serious character who tried to murder them. He took all the fucking spray out of his inhaler. He was a serious kid but it made it funny because he was a fucking snowman so, so, you would you just do, would you just do it without?
Speaker 2:being a snowman? I would no, I'd be maybe like a coffee cup, or I would be another.
Speaker 1:Is that the same scene?
Speaker 2:I would be another anthropomorphic object who's just like sitting like this fucking show who also has a three-way rhythm, maybe, maybe it's on the table.
Speaker 2:I would just be in the background inserting our fucking you know, our world views onto this fucking thing. I'd be like a high and dry shot glass that's come to life somewhere and I'm just giving our fucking dark bullshit, like we always do, about everything in the background of it. So I would be another snowman, I'd be another owl, I would be one of those things, just with the you know, the depressing, pessimistic thing that our audience has come to know and love. Like we're in the darkest timeline.
Speaker 2:So you're gonna ruin this movie, but it's essentially what you're telling me because I'm a coffee cup, yeah, and I, I would just bring some levity to it all, as some. But like, follow me, I can tell you what actually happened to the gorgons at the end. You know, fucking uh. Whatever that movie was with Kirsten Dunst God, what was that movie? Small Soldiers oh my god. I haven't thought about Small Soldiers.
Speaker 1:They apparently found the island.
Speaker 2:There was some article about the yeah well, so I'd just be this anthropomorphic thing in the background that says, hey, I actually know what happened to the Gorgons at the end of Small Soldiers, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then actually, know what happened to the gorgons at the end of small sorglers, um yeah, and then roll credits and then standing ovation. Yeah, five stars, five stars. This whole thing has made me think that this movie is like immutably like a 3.5. Yeah, yeah, you can't make any fucking better or worse. It's just what the fuck it is and it could never be changed and really it doesn't, can't do much like normally.
Speaker 1:Our ads drastically change the entire film. It's yeah, we literally can't do anything. I guess we could make it racist or something and that would make it bad yeah, you know, we could make it better I wonder if that is the curse of comedy and horror I don't know. There's good comedy, horrors. There's a five. There's five comedy and horrors. Tucker and dale versus evil is like five, if we were ever to cover that.
Speaker 2:When was the last time you saw it?
Speaker 1:These college kids are killing themselves.
Speaker 2:He just threw himself in the wood chipper.
Speaker 1:I like that movie.
Speaker 2:At some point we need to go back through the archives and see what we've rated horrors and what we've rated all, but we've only done a handful of comedies Right, if I'm being generous. We need to go back and see what our ratings are. I'm very curious to see and we only recently started letterboxing. By the way, folks at home follow us on Letterboxd. We'll give you the definitive right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Except for you know, james is really bad at that kind of thing.
Speaker 2:He did the first one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't count on me.
Speaker 2:Listen to the podcast for my exclusive but uh, luke, and I are a little more you know out there, but um, I I'm I'm curious to see if, if a universal template applies to genre film.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're saying that comedy just can't rise to a five. I don't know Disagree. I think Hot Rod is a really good movie.
Speaker 2:But it was brought down by the fucking Cool Bean scene.
Speaker 1:There's just one scene. The rest of the movie was really good. The Cool Bean scene was bad. It was my least. The rest of the movie was really good. The cool bean scene was bad. It was my least favorite part of that movie and his, uh, uh, the whole, uh, fucking camp back.
Speaker 2:Uh, the kevin bacon movie, the dancing movie fucking oh, the footloose.
Speaker 1:No, that was great. The footloose scene was great it was a little. I'm going to my little place and then the the face with this baton, and then the hard cut to the woods. Come on.
Speaker 2:This is a little long I gave.
Speaker 1:Friendship a 4 out of 5. I thought that was really good. It had some really cool cinematic shots. It was like it was cool.
Speaker 2:Let's remember this. So next week we're releasing our weapons episode. Let's see if it can pull off more than three points. Uh, I mean, have we had a horror that hasn't pulled?
Speaker 1:have we had a horror that hasn't wait. Really, we haven't had a horror that that's been a high rated. No, wow really well, that's interesting. I guess not for out to wasn't really horror, I was never scared.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like you might as well. It was just a romance stage production, yeah, yeah it was a tragedy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's interesting. I think maybe tour de pharmacy tour de pharmacy was 40 centers is supposed to be horror. It wasn't, it was a, it was not, it was not musical, almost.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's good yeah, it was a fantastic dramatization. Yeah, yeah, definitely, I, yeah but have you seen?
Speaker 1:it's in horror genre.
Speaker 2:I guess it's more of an action, that's being yeah, that's being so subjective, like that's being less than guess, it's more of an action. That's being yeah, that's being so subjective, like that's being less than subjective. It's just a generalization, because there's a monster in it yeah, were you ever scared during the sinners?
Speaker 1:no, not for a second no, not for a second I don't want to be scared in any movie I see, though, so that's the point of horror.
Speaker 2:Well, it's horror, it was just supernatural.
Speaker 1:And so, therefore, it's categorized as horror. Well, which?
Speaker 2:I disagree.
Speaker 1:I think if we would have seen, we would have reviewed, Bring Her Back. That one had me just. I was like cringing the entire time. I didn't want to see that.
Speaker 2:I'm actually getting ready to purchase that tonight. I've been dying to see that. I'm actually getting ready to purchase that tonight. I've been dying to see it. I keep seeing it pop up on my Weapons is just on edge, for me Too scary. I think this might be a really scary movie. The commercials look fantastic, but I've seen good commercials before and I've been disappointed. Little kids don't scare me.
Speaker 1:I'm hoping for the best. Let me know what you think of Bring Her Back, because that one I thought was really good and bleak and really fucked me up during a hard time and I recommend it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the point of horror. That is the fucking point. Well, I was watching a thing recently that people who like for me, people like me who watch horror religiously and can just sit there, you know, stone-faced, and enjoy it and want to see how to push the genre and everything like that it's because it regulates some form of PTSD that I have. I don't know how accurate that is. I feel that might just be some kind of TikTok trend.
Speaker 1:It's like sure, it's a coping mechanism, maybe, but that doesn't mean it's therapeutic in any way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so like all things I mean. But at the same time I walked into Naked Gun saying that there's no way this is going to be a good film and then I left going. Okay, I laughed a lot, I laughed a lot, I laughed all the time and again the snowman scene, the jack frost thing was hilarious.
Speaker 1:I loved it.
Speaker 2:The best scene in my opinion yeah, and you know they were going just when they find the book of spells and incantations.
Speaker 1:You're like oh, this is going right off the rails and then just to have fucking liam neeson get on his knees with pamela anderson and recite a spell that brings a jealous snowman back to life incredible.
Speaker 2:I love it. Their first heads out the window.
Speaker 1:The first instinct was to fuck it, and that was what I was like. I was like I would fuck that snowman fuck that snowman literally hell yeah all right.
Speaker 2:Well, hey, folks at home, thank you for listening. You know, comedy is a weird one for us. Normally we poke holes in. You know, the media we've been consuming but, as you know, we are spiraling towards a recession, so the movies are different now.
Speaker 1:This movie just had plenty of holes for us to get into. We didn't have to poke any in it. There's nothing we could do. We just had to use all of its holes that it already gave us.
Speaker 2:Use them holes so hey, thanks for listening. Let me host ryan baron north with me. As always. James crossland, luke fellas. It's a pleasure, as always. Bye.
