More Best 80s Comedy Movies, Ranked (Part 2)

Lydia, favorite us about your ghosts.

No. I am sick of that subject.

Oh, Delia, lighten up.

I would rather talk about Daylight Commandy Wang cute, Delia. Is that dead? Is that dead? Is that dead?

Daylight command me wango.

Oh so. Are you doing this?

Call night on a drink a rum.

Hey all, welcome to another episode of Past Times at 80s High. Got an awesome one for you today. And what we are gonna do is 1980s comedy movies part due. Um, as always, I have the boys with me, of course, Brother Mark. Hey, how's it going, peeps? Hello, uh, Kevin. Hello, all. Hello, and Donald D. I soul. Hey, what's happened, I soul? Psyched to be here and be doing this again. And like I always say, we get going right out of the gate, but Kevin does his shout-outs.

All right. We got people in Garden Grove smoked like Ludog inside the van. Down in Orange County, about 170,000 people living there. Um down the road from us in Durham, New Hampshire, the home of UNH, where I spent a little time. Um, Nagoya, Japan, largest seaport in Japan, 2.3 million residents there, slightly more than Durham, New Hampshire. And also Chaganoogas, Trinidad and Tobago. That's the largest and fastest growing municipality in Trinidad and Tobago, about 83,000 people. So hello to all of you. I'm sure it's much warmer there than it is here.

Cool. Oh, you know, it's only May. Uh I got my heat on. Awesome. Well, Kevin, you have the on hairs today, so why don't you just take it right out?

Uh, we're gonna start right off with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, an absolute classic from the era. Um, so many great lines. Abe Froman, the sausage king, Cameron talking to uh the principal. Rooney, I I want Sloan in front of that school in five minutes. He starts beating on him. You sound too desperate. Uh, but so many great lines in that movie, such an iconic movie from Charlie Sheen's little walk-on and Jennifer Gray's absolute hatred of Ferris.

What do you care if your brother ditches school?

Why should he get to ditch when everybody else has to go?

You could ditch.

Yeah, I'd get caught.

So you're pissed off because he ditches and doesn't get caught, is that it?

Okay.

Basically.

And your problem is you. Excuse me? Excuse you. You want to spend a little more time dealing with yourself, a little less time worrying about what your brother does. That's just an opinion.

What are you a psychiatrist? No. Why don't you keep your opinions to yourself?

One of the ultimate 80s comedy flicks for that.

One of my favorite scenes in that movie, and it's so stupid, and most people probably would would never think about it. But what is the car? Is it a Ferrari? Cameron's dad's car.

Yeah.

When the two guys steal it, and they like they're driving speeding, and they like jump up through the air, and when they zoom in on their faces, that one dude, like with the mustache and long hair, is just with this biggest grin. Catching air. Awesome. I'm actually surprised that didn't come up in round one. I was surprised it was available still. Awesome. All right, brother, that's to you.

All right, well, uh this uh number seven is called Funny Farm, which is also a place where my mom and other relatives used to threaten to send me to and the rest of the kids and the family. Um it has um Chevy Chase and Madeline Smith in it. It's basically the you know, the city guy moves to the country, and a couple of the funny scenes um to me were the uh moving company. They were headed, they were right on point to get there. What happened was these two punks were like pulling signs off, and it it was sending them like two miles away, they would have been there, and they end up going to uh you know a gas station asking this guy. And it the movie's supposedly based in Vermont, and the guy's talking like uh yup, I wouldn't go from if you're gonna go there, I wouldn't leave from here. Can't get in there.

And uh Could you give us some assistance, please? Yeah, glad to help. We're looking for Dog Creek Road, and that would be near the town of Redfud.

If I was going to Dog Creek Road, I sure as hell wouldn't start from here.

Supposing you had to.

Well then and swing around and go back the way you came. But this time turn right at where the old Holland Shed Barn used to be. Then about five miles before the road dead ends, veer left and follow the railroad track straight into a town called Beaver Mills. Or you could take the bridge at the fork of the road and save yourself a heap of time. I wouldn't go that way if I were you.

So they finally make it there. They're they're like going all over the place, and then Chevy Chase has the nerve to berate them and everything for being late. And the other thing was that the drunken mailman who kept coming by and he would just throw the mail out and go as he drove off. And uh it was a cute movie, it was funny, and yeah, the the the natives didn't like him, they didn't take him. I think I believe he was from New York City, of course. That's where they all go. It's like a Hallmark movie, if you will. And uh they like him at the end, and you know that somebody was gonna wanted to buy their house and they they didn't want him to leave, and they worked it out. So it was fun, you know.

He was a legendary after he ate all of those Rocky Mountain oysters, wasn't he? Oh yeah, yeah. What are those?

Yeah, yeah. Were they sheep balls? That's right. Yeah, I think they were sheep balls. Sheep testicles, yeah. Which is the same thing. So uh yeah, that's a great movie. That's before Chevy Chase fell off his cliff. But he was it seemed like he was kind of getting there. Yeah. I don't know. But one of my favorite scenes that you were talking about, Mark, when the guy's giving him directions, uh something dad and I used to joke about was he, I believe he says something, once again, paraphrasing, but you're gonna turn right about a mile before where the red barn used to be. Great directions, man. All right. So that's seven of me. And I'm gonna go with one that's meaningful to I'm sure you as well, Dongo. And our late buddy uh Todd. God love him. It's the three amigos.

I'm Lucky Day, I'm Ned Nideland, and I'm Dusty Bottoms, and together we're the three amigos.

Uh it's not necessarily a laugh out loud, funny movie in a lot of parts, but it's just a great movie. I mean, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and uh Martin Short, just funny as hell, and of course you have El Guapo, yeah. Rich Garcus. But they just um they go down to Mexico thinking, you know, they they're actors, movie actors, and the show they the movies are the three amigos, and they think they're going down, you know, to do a show, but they're actually really being called upon to help save this little town from El Guapo, and it's just fucking hilarious, and lots of great scenes in it, but yeah, man, that's my number seven, and I'll leave it to you, don't go. Cool.

El Guapo the hands.

So that means handsome, yep. Just a reminder to everyone out there, this is part two. So if you want to listen to funny 80s movies part one, check it out on past times 80 time. Um, so not my number seven, I just saw the other day. Because I remember we used to joke about it all the time back in the day, and like you said, we'll probably have a bunch of uh repeats or similar thinking. Right. Um and this one was on Tubi, which is a nice free, cheap place to watch movies. Um it's the couch trip in 1988 with with uh Dan Aykroyd, Charles Groden, and uh Donna Dixon, and also Walter Mathell had a great cast. Um the plot is pretty simple, but there's just some really funny scenes. Like we always joked about the one in the very beginning opening scene, you know, he's in a mental institution. There's a guy that's gonna jump off the building, he goes out on the ledge, talks him from talks him down, basically has him go back in. And once he goes back in, he's like, Everybody came here to see somebody jump, so I don't want to disappoint. And and he just like stands up like now diving for the for the uh whatever it was called, the the Crawford Mental Institution, and he jumps, and it was like you know, eight stories up or whatever, and this fireman with like the net kind of thing. And and the other the other funny scene was uh he takes like a group well, he ends up impersonating like a uh psychologist and uh a famous psychologist, radio talk show guy, and uh he he basically takes his place and takes like a group of uh mentally health folks to a baseball game and he's like on a bullhorn, he's like, Okay.

It's all sexual malfunctions and dysfunctions on bus number one. Bus number six, schizophrenics. Well, actually, schizophrenics, you get to choose between one and six nymphomaniacs. Don't let me out of your sight.

Takes them on like a field trip, and they have a great time, and it was funny. And he actually ends up uh like doing really well at it. And uh it's just it's a pretty simple money uh movie, but it's it's pretty funny. Yeah.

Oh hilarious. I'm so glad you took it, Donnie, because I did not.

Donna Dixon. Oh, yeah. Oh, is Donna Dixon singing? No, Donna Dixon was the girl that uh Paul Stanley supposedly was singing about in the uh song on Creatures of the Night called Gotta tie it to Kiss.

I still love you.

Oh, interesting.

Donna Dixon. Awesome, though, Dongo. I'm so glad you took it, man. That scene, man. Now diving for it was just fucking high libs. Awesome. All right, so that's number six back to you, Kev.

All right, at number six, number six, we had Guido the Killer Pimp. I've got midterms coming up, and we're being chased by Guido the Killer Pimp. I've got a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido the Killer Pimp. We had the memo minder. We had Rebecca De Morne, or as I used to call her at that time, Rebecca DeHornay talking to us about risky business, Porsche. Yeah. There is no substitute. Yeah. Every once in a while, Joel, you just have to say, What the fuck? Oh god, I didn't know. Such a classic movie, such a such a great romp through the teenage years. Well, my dad didn't have a Porsche, but it's a kid, yeah. I would have I would have stolen it for sure. Uh but obviously the memo minder didn't really net them a lot of profit for the future entrepreneurs. However, the brothel that they set up made them eight grand in one night. So and he got accepted to Princeton. What was his Joel? We could use a guy like you at Princeton. Princeton could use a man like you, Joel. That's where it was. So many great the egg. Yeah. The egg mother's class egg. What's the archie fighty thing? Well, I only got 40 bucks left. Well, we'll call it 340. You can owe me the other 300. That was, of course, Joey Pants as Guido the Killer Pimp, Joe and Joey Panolitas. Classic. Had hair then. He had hair in that right. That's how old that one is.

Oh good. What a great movie, too. Oh yeah, solid. He dives and catches said egg at one point. Yes, he does.

But it did have a little spoiler, it did have a little crack in it, though.

Oh yeah. I love too when the Porsche goes in the drink.

They open the door up and the fish are flopping out of it.

Remember the were they on a subway when uh his love interest uh decided to bang him right there? Yeah. I remember that scene very well.

Yes. I've watched it.

Well, like many I like his dream when the the police are outside with the bullhorns and he's like, get off the babysitter.

Do exactly as we say if no one gets hurt. Get off the babysitter. Put on your pants, come on with your hands up.

Yeah, you know, we're coming in. You know. We used to quote that all the time. And the mom says it too, right? Joel.

Joel, do what they say. Just get off the babysitter. Don't throw your life away like this.

Please get off the babysitter. Get off the babysitter and come out with your hands up. Awesome. Such a great movie. And its soundtrack was awesome, too. Nice.

Okay, Mark. All right. Well, I'm going with the movie called Twins that came out in 1988. It has Arnold Schwarzenegger and Louis DePama in it. Um obviously we're talking about Danny DeVito. And it's kind of a it's kind of you know a heartwarming story if you get to the brass tacks of it. A couple of funny parts to me. Uh uh DeVito was trying to teach Arnold how to dance and not on my feet. You know, it was like and when he had sex with the blonde there, he didn't know what to do. And she's like, you'll find out, you know, and and of course they do, and he wakes up and he's like has the funniest face on his face, you know.

Big grin. Yeah. I like ye.

And then that part where it this guy wanted to take the five million dollars about, you know, getting that uh oh what the hell was it? Uh some kind of engine or whatever.

Yeah, like a jet engine or something.

Yes, exactly. And they were uh the guy was wanted their five million dollars. And then he's decides even though he's getting the money, you've seen my face, I'm gonna kill you. And Arnold sees this thing up in the uh the sky the sailing and and uh he hits the lever and it comes down and absolutely crushes him and puts about four thousand feet of chain on top of that.

The doctor that they sit down with is like we were just trying to make the perfect specimen, like they mix sperm from like eight different geniuses and perfect people.

This uh must be we made the milkshake. We weren't making milkshakes, we're making the most fully developed human the world has ever seen. But instead of just one perfect kid, mom had the two of us. Way to go, mom! Wrong. The embryo did split in two, but it didn't split equally. All the purity and strength went into Julius. All the crap that was left over went into what you see in the mirror every morning.

And we got you, Julius. And you are the lump of shit that came from every the leftover junk. Poor guy. But also when Danny DeBito says at the end, when he's trying to run away with the money, and he says to Schwarzenegger, I was halfway to Brazil before I felt you.

And when he drove into the wall there.

I think that was based on the the old saying of the best part of you ran down your mother's leg. I think that's what DeVito's character was.

It was pretty sad. But DeVito's hilarious in that. But he was a ladies' man, though. They loved him. Awesome, Mark. All right, that's number six to me, and I'm going with 1989's Major League. Ah. Love movies about sports, especially baseball, and this one to me, once again, it's not complete hilarity, but there is so many funny scenes in it. I mean, Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, uh Corbin Bursen, just one one thing first that I find funny about it is you look at half this team and they're like 50. Right, right. First of all, there's no way in hell that these guys are gonna be in the major leagues. I mean, Harris, the pitcher, is like 55 years old. It's it's just funny, but just little things in this movie. Bob Euchre was a friggin' riot drinking up a storm in the booth. Yeah. And just nobody's watching anyway. Who gives a shit? That was it. I just I also loved uh the huge bald black guy in it that couldn't hit a curveball. I forget his name. Serano Serrano's his name. Fuck you, Joe Boo. I do this on my own.

Gee, stop, not Joe Fu. Look, I go to you. Stick up for you. You know, help me now. Just fuck you, Joe Boo. I do it myself.

Yeah, there's just a lot of funny scenes in it. And I'll leave it at that and go to you, Donald.

Cool, man. So this one is another one, kind of a personal story for A. And I, and we went to a friend's house who it wasn't a house, it was like a cabin in the woods that he was staying in when he was going to UNH. Ah, Mike? Yeah, and there was no heat in the place except for the bedroom where there was like five dudes sleeping in the bedroom, comfortable, warm, all happy. And we were out in the living room freezing our asses off. Like we were literally like worried about hypothermia. And this late night 2 a.m. movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, was on. And we watched that movie. And it's probably one of the stupidest movies you'd ever watch, but it we were rolling laughing. I don't know if that's because we were going into hypothermia and we were getting delirious or whatever, but um I take it it was winter time. It was probably, yeah. Yeah. Either uh late fall or I don't think it was dead of winter kind of it was cold. Yeah. Yeah, it was bad. But I mean that movie was it's fucking crazy. It's you know, it's just some some airplane throws out a Coke bottle and it lands in like an African village in Botswana, and they they think it's amazing. They're like, I can carry water in it, and they're like rolling dough with it, they're like um ta tanning hides with it. They think it's like a wonder tool given to them by the gods, and then everybody starts wanting it and lusting after it, so then they start fighting over it, so then they're like it's evil.

That night the family was very unhappy. They began to talk about this thing that had come into their lives. They did not have a name for it, they called it the evil thing.

This one guy takes the Coke bottle and he's like, he's gonna find the edge of the earth to to get rid of it. And uh, you know, at the end of the movie it's kind of funny because he's like, and then he found it, and he just chucks it off the edge.

It's like Yeah. The edge of the flat earth.

Yeah, and there's just some weird, funny scenes in there. Um I'd have to it's probably been twenty something years since we've seen it, but uh I I still to this day when I'm shushing somebody, I always do that. He's like he's like sneaking in through a camp and he's like We still do it.

Right I love I also think that's where we got evil from.

He knew it was evil. They called it the evil thing.

Right. Yeah, because they were like bonking each other with the head with it and stuff. At first they were like, it's great, we love this bottle, it's given to us by the gods, and then they were like, and then it became evil.

What a great friggin' movie. It's on Tubi for free.

I'm not gonna try to watch it. That'd be a hard set. I think I'm gonna family to watch that one.

Um spectacular. Awesome.

Okay, Kev. All right. We're gonna go at number five with History of the World Part One. And I liked it better when there was no part two. Apparently they've done some kind of like dumb show now that's supposed to be a part two, but that came out back in the 80s, and it was just classic, classic Mel Brooks. Uh one of the great scenes is he's he's a philosopher and he's it in the unemployment line, and it's B. Arthur Maud is is the working the unemployment desk. And so there's there's a uh a Roman soldier in front of him, and she's like, Did you kill last week? No. Did you try to kill last week? Yes, you know, all those things that we used to have to go through with unemployment. So Mel Brooks gets up there and he's the stand-up philosopher. She's like, she says, What is that? And he goes off on this speech about how he thinks about life and you know, philosophizing, yada yada yada. She goes, Oh, you're a bullshit artist. Did you bullshit last week? No. Did you try to bullshit last week? Yes.

Occupation. Stand up philosopher. What? The thing about philosophy. I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.

Oh, a bullshit artist. Did you bullshit last week? No. Did you try to bullshit last week?

Back in the line, back in the line, not in line, he's not in line, he's my agent.

Good news. I just got you a job. Now that you're working, you won't be needing this. Wait a minute. That money is mine. I'm sorry. I'm on my wine break.

Oh, but there's just so many great bits. They start as I think Sid Caesar is the caveman at the beginning of it. It goes through all the different eras. Um, one of the best ones was the um the French king, and he does Harvey Corman does the same thing that they did in Blazing Saddles, where he was Headley, it's Hedley Lamar. But in this one, he was Count De Monet, and everybody called him Count of Money. And of course, Mel Brooks is the king, so he's like they're playing chess with live people, just calling out the moves, and he's like, Okay, King's Rules, three moves all at once. Pawn, jump the queen, knight, jump the queen, everybody, jump the queen, gangbang! And then he keeps looking at the camera and going, it's good to be the king.

It's good to be the king. I still, you brought that up, Kevin. I still I haven't seen it. Oh my god.

No, that's absolute, absolute classic. Absolute classic, wonderful, hilarious Mel Brooks romp.

Nice.

Awesome. Okay, Mark. All right, well, this came out in December of 1987. It is uh called Overboard. It's with Kurt Russell and um Goldie Hahn before she started getting work done. She was still very beautiful at the time. And one of the funniest scenes to me was well, she's on the boat and she's a freaking see you next Tuesday, a rich, just entitled bitch.

You were listening. Well, it's kind of hard to avoid. Well, you can avoid it in the future because you're fired. Uh oh, you're unbelievable. That's fine with me. Just pay me the money you owe me.

The job was not done to my satisfaction.

Oh, I got news for you, lady. No job will ever be done to your satisfaction. Well, that's quite enough. Now just get out. Hey, no problem. Just pay me the 600 bucks you owe me, and I'm gone. Captain Carl, start up the engine. Oh, you're crying. You know what your problem is, huh? You're so goddamn boy you gotta invent things to bitch about. You haven't got a single thing on this earth to do except for your hair. Your closet was fine. You just needed something to take up your useless, empty nail polishing, toe polishing, rich bitch, sun tanning day.

You know, and she's like ordering everyone around, and Kurt Russell is on there working on stuff. He finally stands up to her, and uh the entire boat gave him a absolute roaring ovation, and you know, so yeah, she goes overboard, hence the name of the movie, and she ends up I forgot how she ended up with Kurt Russell at the house and Amnesia. She knows Amnesia, but how did he I guess he took her in. I know.

He went and claimed her.

He went and my wife, oh, the husband didn't want to he wanted nothing to do with her because she was such a unbelievable heinous bitch. And uh so no, you can have her. So he claims her, and you know the kids tell her that she's their mother, I believe, and uh you know, it's just a really warm heart warming story, and uh it there were so many funny parts in this movie, and wasn't Maheal Kurt Russell and Ape at one point. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Or was he on the book? Yeah. But uh no, I mean I'm a huge Kurt Russell fan. He's obviously the real Santa Claus, as we know. Um naturally. And uh just a fun movie. So that's always great.

That was a great movie. Awesome movie for sure. I love that his dream is to open a mini golf course. Right. He does it. And what's also great is come to find out that dumbass first husband there should have claimed her because come to find out it's her family that had the money and not his. So Kurt Russell winds up marrying her and being friggin' rich. So it would be fun developing a mini golf course.

I think that would be a fun thing.

I would make it so much better than these shitty ones around you.

Now they just make them like tiered with bricks, and there's no like I like the windmill that you have to shut it, you know, or fucking, you know, things that you trick. Yeah, the trickery.

I think it's all Pirates Cove now. I think they own all of them.

Yeah, and they all suck. It's too bad. All right, number five to me, and I'm going with 1987's Dragnet. Ooh. Dragnet. All right, Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, uh, just oh my god, it's spectacular. I mean, based on the show, of course. Uh Dan Aykroyd is like Friday's nephew or something, and Tom Hanks is just a pain in the ass. And you know, you have Amil Muzz, but oh my god, spectacular, and just stupid things like that. It was uh they were the pagans, and they had cards and it was people against goodness and normalcy.

Oh god, there were so many great movies in that decade.

Uh when they went and they went to a a pagan party and in disguise, you know, undercover, and I'll just never forget when they get there and they're like, Don't forget your goat leggings.

But they're handing out all the pills to everybody.

Oh, when Tom Hanks says, you know, what do they say? It refreshments, I think he says, and he holds out the tray of pills, and Tom Hanks is just snagging a million handfuls and stuffing them in his pocket. But oh, awesome movie uh about uh the virgin Connie Swale because they were gonna sacrifice her. Dan Aykroyd ends up with her, and at the end, Tom Hanks is like, now were you with the virgin Connie Swale? And Dan Aykroyd raises his eyebrows a couple times, like, not anymore. But uh, one more scene that I want to bring up real quick is when they're looking for Amil Muzz and they're interviewing witnesses, and they go to talk this old this old lady and open the door, and the woman's like, that scumbag fucking dirt bag like just uses all the filthiest names and what the hell do you want?

Police officers, ma'am.

About time you pencil dick showed up. Why couldn't you got here before that big, bad, stupid looking piece of sewage breast stole my white wedding dress?

Miss Borden, sewage breath would be your little nickname for Muzz.

Emil Muzz.

Hmm, not much of an improvement.

That asswipe also stiffed me for two months' rent when his deposit check bounce. Goddamn pus-face little pimp stick. All that was left in this room was a big box of these things.

Any idea where this Hamel Mus could be right now? Friends, family?

Nah, he wasn't alone. Took off in the middle of the night. Useless scum lapping shit bag.

Just the facts, ma'am. He leave anything else behind?

Yeah, tape deck, which I had to sell to make up for the lost rent. So there's nothing you can do about it, you slimy little jazz bucket.

Yes, ma'am, although I should point out to you that technically you could be cited for swearing at us like that.

Says who, flathead?

It says a California Penal Code, section 314.1, covering obscene live conduct in public. Good enough for you, lady?

And magazines and papers were his down in the trash. No checks of money, I looked. I should have thrown it all in the river the day he left, but unlike some people, I have a heart, god damn it, that miserable little bag of puke.

I think we're finished here, don't you, Detective Streeback?

You think it's gonna be this sweet old lady, and it's just funny, man. What a great movie, though.

I gotta watch that. I do re I remember watching it back then, but it was friggin' hilarious.

It's spectacular.

All right, Dongo, that's to you. All right, so this one, 1986, Tom Hanks, Shelly Long in the Money Pit. I love this movie. Buys a house, you know, they're they're in New York and they they gotta get kicked out of their uh they have like a flat in New York and they they get booted out of that. So they get a great killer deal on a on a mansion in I don't know where it was, you know, upstate New York or something. And then, you know, it just starts falling apart. Like he'll open a door and it'll just break off, or you know, he goes down the stairs and the friggin' stairs collapse, you know, and it just literally just starts falling apart. And uh the actor that was in it who played Shelly Long's ex-husband was uh Alexander Gudnov. And he was like he's Russian, he was like an actual Russian American, he was a ballet dancer in Russia, came to America. Um he was pretty cool in that movie. And uh Walter!

Well, this is an unexpected revolution. Are you hot? Can I take your life?

Walter, I can see that my presence here could be considered as being in full taste. No, do you realize what you've done? You've taken a woman who loves you, one of the great women on the face of this earth, and thrown her away. I've lost her too. But I'll get over it because I am fellow and self-centered. But you, you because you are complex, you will suffer terrible anguish for the rest of your life. This is turning out to be a pretty good day. Good day. Smooth strokes up and down.

I thought it was a pretty fucking movie. I one of my favorite scenes is when Tom Hanks is walking into a room and he just like steps into a hole and like the carpet like goes into the hole too, and he's like stuck in the hole. He's like, Help.

Awesome movie. Was that guy one of the brothers in Die Hard? Yeah. The blonde guy. Yeah. Yeah. I knew he was a ballet dude.

Yep.

What a great one.

Yeah, he was actually that that uh that actor actually was in a relationship with uh Elizabeth Montgomery, who was the bewitched lady. He also dated Jacqueline Bassett. Uh but he died young. He died at 45. He uh I think he liked the the vodka a little too much and had uh That'll do it. That'll do it.

I don't know I'd weigh that one. Jackie Bissett and Elizabeth Montgomery, and I'm out of here at 45. I'm I don't I it doesn't make any sense. I think about that. I think about that. But that movie definitely anybody that's ever owned a home, right? You just feel it watching that. It's like because you just you think you got one thing done and then you turn around and did something else.

I mean they were like things through the holes in the wall or whatever, you know. The tub goes through the floor, the classic. Yeah.

Do you guys remember the band that was in that?

I don't, but I remember you discussing it before.

White Lion.

Yeah, White Lion. I knew it too, damn it.

And this is mine. Now I figure that cancels out half my father's death, but check your records, make sure we agree. Walter, what are you paying them back for? Huh? They used to be for stealing from them. This is only gonna confuse them because they got too much money now as it is. Jimmy, you're their manager. Why are you telling me that? Because I like you better than I like them.

What is their biggest song? Wait, wait, wait. When the children cry.

What's your biggest song? Wait, okay.

Wait.

Yeah.

Telling us, wait. Wait.

And who was the dancer that the guy, the Russian guy, was like looking at and like he was like, ooh, she's hot. And I think she was in the band or something, or uh kind of looked Tani Kate. Oh, I don't know.

Was it Tani Kate?

It might have been, I don't know. That might be. It was just a very short short cameo. Like at the very ending of the movie, the rock band's playing, but the um Russian director, Alexander Gudnov, was like conducting the band, but he was also looking at the woman who was in the rock band. She's all punked out, and and uh he was like, you know, giving her the winks and wanting the hookup. Yeah.

Mia Dylan, maybe? Maybe, yeah. Maybe. All right, Kev, that's number four to you to start it off.

My fourth is it's a great solid movie. It's not a slapstick fall down laughing like most of his stuff. But the thing that struck me about all of me is Steve Martin's physical comedy in this is so unbelievable. You don't even think about it. So Lily Tomlin is rich and she's been bedridden her whole life, and she's gonna die, and she wants to have the Schwami put her spirit into the gardener's daughter's body. That's the plan. And so she dies unexpectedly at the attorney's office, and she's supposed to go into the bowl. Well, the bowl falls out the window and hits Steve Martin on the head, and they've already had an interaction and don't like each other. So now she's inside of Steve Martin's body. But you watch it and you forget that it's just one person pretending to be, you know, you hear her talking to him, and he's struggling with, you know, like they're each have different controls of the sides of his body.

Where are we going?

Got to find Rocalanza. I can't go there. Skyrol take care. Excuse me, that's a private conversation. Do you mind?

Uh no! Please just do as I say. Oh, but you seem to have control over the left side of your body while I feel dominant on the right. Oh, let go of that.

Oh, bitch! How about a little respect for the deceased? Let go of my hand, you brute.

I will not.

And it's just his physical comedy is so unbelievable. When he walks, they you know, once they figure out how to walk, he's like on his right side, he'll start walking, and his hand does like the gestures of a woman. He literally like Steve Martin becomes and has the gestures and affectations of a woman. He's so absolutely unbelievable how good he is in this movie. And it's a solid movie, it's just not like you know, I'm not gonna name any other Steve Martin's movies because they might come up, but I disagree with you, Kevin. I feel like it's very funny. Oh no, I'm saying it's it's it's a hilarious movie, but it's it's not like, well, we can't do the jerk anyway. So it's not like the jerk where it's you know, quotable quotes and laughs every two minutes. It's a solid, entertaining movie. The thing that just struck me about it is his acting was just so unbelievable. The physical comedy was beyond most anything.

Yeah, and I loved when he'd look in the mirror, it was Lily Tomlin in the mirror. So you can, you know, you saw her once in a while. The fighting they'd do together, too, like bitching at each other.

Yes, but they're fighting, but they're it's just Steve Martin. It's just Steve Martin.

And people would walk in and he's like yelling at himself on the mirror. Put put Edwina Beckinboard. Beckin' board. Put Edwina Beckin' board.

Awesome. Great fight. What a great pick.

All right, Mark, number four to you. All right, this movie is called Stripes. It's um looking at my list, it's the only one from the early 80s. It's got uh Bill Murray, John Candy, and others. You know, there's a part in this movie where Bill Murray starts talking and saying, You, sir, are a madman.

You are a madman. When you stole that cow and your friend tried to make it with the cow, I want to party with you, cowboy.

And I want to party with you. And I'm like, this is what Shawn Michaels said. Verbatim to Bob Backlund in uh the Heartbreak Hotel in 1994. Look it up.

Mr. Backlin, you my friend, are a madman. And Big Daddy Cool and I want to party with you, pal. First thing, Big Daddy Cool and Shawn Michaels aren't in my league, my society, my generation, and I'm not so sure I would want to accept you in my generation.

Of course. He took it from there.

Yeah, but I didn't know that. But it's funny. You got this part where he's out there or the hold units, and all of a sudden they go, do a diddy diddy, dum diddy, do while they're doing the you know, the marching and cadence.

Yeah, and yeah, it's just Yeah, because their their sergeant dies, right? And so they don't have any leadership at all, so they have to figure out how to rise.

And they got sent on this. What kind of training?

Army training, sir. But it was a lot of things. Whatever, Francis.

Anybody calls me Francis, I'll kill you.

Any of you homo's touch me, I'll kill you.

Yeah, exactly. The name's Francis Sawyer. But everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis and I'll kill you. Just made it this, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. Just keeping me hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now any of you homos, touch me. And I'll kill you.

Lighten up, Francis.

One of the other good scenes, or one of my favorite scenes, I don't know what this says about me, but um, but when John Lyriquette, who's also he was he was a uh he was an upper level, was he, a lieutenant or something? And he's looking at all the MPs, the female MPs in the shower, and they're all built like shit brick houses. And I'm like shit houses goes to shit brick brick house. But how does it go?

What am I brick shit houses?

Do you remember calling it? A shit brick house. A brick shit house. Okay. Whatever. But uh and then the you know, Murray and uh the other guy and oh dramast. Yeah, and and they ended up uh going out with these couple of the MPs, and it was just it was uh it it made you like the military a little bit, or you know, it wouldn't be so bad if you got to bang friggin' MPs all the time.

If you get to give the Aunt Jemima treatment. That's I knew that. I've used that. Awesome, Mark. You know what's funny is that is the greatest great, I mean, it's a great, incredible comedy for one half of a movie.

Yes. Yeah, I I I agree. Right.

Which is kind of like Full Metal Jacket, which is great for the training part of it, and then when I get to the war, it just kind of falls off.

Yeah. And now a short commercial break.

Pop Brocks, Jack, Stretch Armstrong, Jack, the Bionic Man. Jack.

You've gone back in time. This is past times at 80 time.

So that's number four to me. And I'm going with a movie from 1980, and that is gonna be stir crazy. And this is Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder at their best. Just this movie is absolutely fucking hilarious to me. And every I mean uh Gene Wilder in it cracks me up so bad. Like they're literally like trying to torture them, and they're finally letting him down, and he's just like hey!

My back! My eleven-year-old back problem is gone. I feel terrific. Thanks, Cap.

Wow! What a lucky guy! You son of a gun!

My back hasn't felt this great in years.

Alright, get in there. And I'll see you in about five days if you make it. Donahue. One more day, please. Just one more day. I was just beginning to get into myself.

Please, just one more day. It it has a little special meaning to me because I used to watch it with our dad, Mark, and laugh our asses off. That's right. Dad would always say, We bad. We bad. We bad.

That's right, that's right, we bad. Huh? That's right. We don't want no shit either. That's right. Darn right. We don't want no shit. You understand?

Anyway, love the movie. If people out there haven't seen it, it's worth the watch, man. Stir crazy. Those guys were both just brilliant? Brilliant. Absolutely. Okay, Dongo.

Alright. So in 1987, uh a couple guys got stranded from being able to take a flight into uh Chicago, so they had to take planes, trains, and automobiles to get home. And it was Steve Martin and John Candy, which those two guys were in a lot of movies that some of which we've already said, like Stripes, John Candy was in that. And you know, they they were in a lot of movies that decade and were really funny. And uh, you know, I love there's so many awesome scenes, but you know, some of my favorites are when they're going the wrong way down the highway, and and the guy on the other side's like you're going the wrong and it's like, how do ye how does he know where we're going?

All right, come on, let's go. Let's go.

Put your window down!

You want something?

Uh he's probably drunk.

You're going the wrong way! What?

You're going the wrong way He said we're going the wrong way.

How do you know where we're going? Yeah, how would he know? Thank you, thank you. Thank you.

And he's like, you know, he's like, Yeah, you haven't too much to drink over there, you know, that kind of thing. That was classic. And then of course we always talk about the, you know, where's your hands? Uh, between two pillows? Those aren't pillows. You know, when they were like spooning in a hotel room.

Those aren't pillows. Who is the who is the guy that that picks them up? And it's such a funny scene, and he's only in it for a minute, but he steals and the guy's a character actor who's been around. It's uh Dylan Baker, and he picks him up in the pickup truck and he's like, Oh yeah. He's doing all the and it's the way he sends the wife to get the oh no, she'll get it. She's sturdy to pick up the truck.

Oh man.

And when I saw that scene, I'm thinking this is like perfect for uh our podcast. There they are in the back of a pickup truck, you know.

Right. This is the I mean, such an incredibly funny movie that absolutely shatters the heart. You know what I mean? Because you feel so bad for John Candy. It's heartbreaking. I do remember that, yeah. Awesome pick. All right, Kev, we're at number three.

Number three for me is going to be probably Mark Harmon's finest hour on the big screen, and just a movie that we absolutely love. Summer school, Chainsaw. I mean, you had Dave. Oh and Dave. Yeah. You had a lot of vagina was in that long before she was in uh the Austin Powers. Uh Kirsty Alley, Shawnee Smith, who was she was the one that was pregnant, but I just loved her and everything that she was in. She was such a such a cutie. Um so many great lines. Tension breaker had to be done.

Tension breaker, it had to be done.

Was like used throughout my youth. That was chainsaw just screaming in the middle of a test. Um I think Mark Harbin was trying to pick up Christy Alley at the beginning of it. And she's like, he goes, Well, what do you like for what are you liking, men? She's uh, I don't know, guys with socks. He goes, I think I got a pair somewhere. I think they're white. He's pretty laid back, and but he ends up, he doesn't want to be there. He's supposed to go to Hawaii. The principal forces him, and he's the gym teacher, the principal forces him into teaching summer school for remedial English, and he ends up helping out all the kids. Courtney Thornsmith, who's pretty pretty at that time, and she's all dreaming about surfing, and then like I said, Shawnee Smith's character is pregnant. Um one of the other girls is trying to get her driver's license, and they're all scared to get into the car with her. Denise.

Denise.

Yeah. So just it was it was just a great and a aside from the teacher being helpful and having a relationship with them, a fairly accurate depiction of summer school, if I remember correctly.

I I went twice. But um a couple things. Oh, that's such a great pick. I'm so glad you took it. But um I forget his dog's name, but the little head that he would throw him, you know, that thing was awesome. And the little bit of a thing that would never fly today is the surfer chick there that was trying to live with him.

Right.

Can you imagine I'm living with my in summer school remedial English teacher? Yeah, that might be a problem.

Oh my god. I I go on, I see all these things where you know, twenty to thirty something teacher seduces 15-year-old boy from school. It happens all the time. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it didn't happen to me, though. I know, right? Boy, do I have a well, I won't use names, but talk about a double standard though. Talk about a double standard. There were a few that I had hoped would seduce me.

Oh man. Great, great pick, though.

Love that movie.

Awesome. Okay, Mark. All right. Well, I'm going with the great outdoors. Nice. And uh this has John Candy, he's coming up a lot today. Um, Stephanie Ferrissy, Dan Aykroyd, and an Annette Denning. And uh this movie that the family is going off on a vacation, and when you go into the camp, the guy's like, Oh, you're lucky, you're gonna get this beautiful place. Everyone wants this place, and they go in, and the p the last people just left everything there. There's beer cans everywhere, dirty food, laundry. It's like they you know, it was a it was looked like the place was ransacked. Anyway, um Candy and Pharisee are getting they're about to get it on, and here comes Dan Aykroyd standing there with his wife, and they're just kind of chuckling and everything, and that was that ruined the mood. Anyway, it it the the funniest scene in in this one is while John Candy's telling the story about the bear that ended up with a bald head.

I ran into the living room.

I grabbed the shotgun after the mantle, turned around, and there was that bear right in the window. Its breath was fogging up the glass. And suddenly, it let out this god-awful roar. Started smashing on the walls. I knew then that it was either the bear or your mom and I. So I raised the rifle, I took aid, and I fired.

No, Benny, Benny, Benny, a shotgun's not gonna kill a monster bear like that.

Well, what happened?

The buckshot shaved the hair clean off the top of its head. Yeah, it ran off. We never saw it again. Well, I hear from my uncle every now and then. And he tells us about the bald-headed killer bear that was roaming about the area.

You know, and at the end of the movie, they're they're going into a cave. Do not enter, and they go in, and here comes the bear. And he follows them all the way back to the cabin, and you know, it looks like the bear's about to kill everybody, and all of a sudden the the uh landlord, not the you know, the hotel owner, the campground owner comes in and shoots him, and all of a sudden the bear's got a bear ass, and he runs runs off whimpering.

Oh, right in the It's just a classic scene and just a really fun movie. His daughters bolted or kind of ran off on their own and got lost in said cave. Yes. Yeah. Uh the bear ass. Oh, that's right.

That's how it started, yeah. So they had to go in and it's like, is there something in their contract? They're not allowed to talk. I mean, the the kids, uh John Candy's kids are like, they're really creepy, you know, and uh so they were fine.

What do they call the steak that he has to eat?

The old 90s. What's the old 96er?

Oh, that's our world-famous Paul Bunyan's Blue Ox steak. It is a 96-ounce prime H beef steak. And if you or any member of your party orders the old 96er and finishes, everybody eats for free.

How about you, Chet?

People seem to like that. I'll try it.

Seriously, though. Has anybody ever eaten one?

Oh, oh, no, no, not in my lifetime, no.

That thing was massive. And he did. He did it. So many great scenes in that. The bat, when they're trying to fight fight the bat in the place and the raptors. They all got trash bags and whatever else are all done up to the and the and the raccoons getting into the trash was pretty funny.

That's the funniest part of the movie was the raccoons. Yeah. Because they would go into the trash and they would, you know, they would have subtitles. Right.

Yeah.

You know, they they actually they're the ones that later in the movie actually ransacked the house. You know. And uh and then the other thing, um, Dan Aykroyd was acting like this big investor, you know, in Wall Street and everything, is it turns out he was flat broke and ends up moving in with moving in with uh John Candy and his wife, and uh it was kind of sad, but you know, that was the actual end of the movie. I'll beat you home, and John Candy looks at his wife and she's like, Yeah, he's moving in. But yeah, it was fun. It was really fun.

Classic movie. Alright. Number three to me. And indeed. Boy, we can't wait to count the Steve Martin movies when we're done with this. But I'm going with 1987's Roxanne.

Yeah. You don't have to put on your red what is it, red white?

This is just something that uh especially dad. Our dad just loved this movie. We would watch it over and over and over, and just of course, it's the one with his big nose, and he's a fire chief. It's got Daryl Hannah in it, and just he digs Daryl Hannah because she moves to the town and she's hot. And who's ever gonna love a guy like him with a you know, six-inch nose?

But Well, if he can't get it up, he's got his nose.

Yeah.

But there's there's uh the first scene, and he's coming home from like a tennis match, and these two guys start picking on him, and he just beats the shit out of both of them when they make fun of his nose, and he's like smacking him in the ha the face with the racket. He's like, 30 love. And he's so mellow the way he does it. But uh one of my favorite scenes that I can't leave out is um, well, two things actually. The Chris, the guy he's actually trying to help hit on Daryl Hannah, is a friggin' bumbling idiot. And he's wearing like headphones while while yelling up to her balcony, and Steve Martin's like telling him what to say. And one of my favorite lines is Cause I'm afraid of worms, Roxanne. Worms.

Worms.

But then the bar scene where the dart champion calls him big nose. He's like, You get a guy standing in front of you with this, and all you can come up with is big nose. And he's like, I tell you what, I'll come up with as many as you, you know, get on the dart board. And he hits 20, of course, and they just he starts rattling on, you know, and he has a title for each one. You know, he's like, uh, paranoid. Keep that guy away from my cocaine.

How many is that?

Religious given. Can we just keep going giving me a bigger nose? Coming away from my cooking. It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee in Brazil. Appreciate it. Ooh, how original. Most people just have their teeth capped.

And he just rails off 20 of them, and it's great.

You know, and the one he loved the little birdie so much he gave him a place to land.

And then he said the last one is dirty, and he says, Your name wouldn't be Dick, would it? And then the guy takes a swing up, he kicks his ass, and then he goes over to look at Daryl Hannon and says, Has he fallen yet? The guy drops right then. But that movie is spectacular, it's heartfelt, and it's fucking hilarious. So go to you, darling. All right, keep that guy away from my coach.

I love that movie. Very good movie. Yeah. Robin Williams was amazing in it. Of course, he plays um, you know, loosely, you know, related to the real Adrian Cronauer, um, 1965, Vietnam. You know, he's a he's a DJ for American Forces Network. And uh, you know, it's just Rob Williams was magnificent in that movie with his ad-libbing of the scenes, all his multiple voices that he did.

Oh, look, you've landed inside the little people now. We represent the mummy, the mummy. Oh no, for the hoochie man trill. Fun of the hoochie man trail.

Get you, my pretty. Oh my god, it's the Wicked Witch of the North. It's Hannah and Hannah!

Little J.

You and your little too-doo, too. Adrian. Adrian. Well, you gin, Adrian. Oh, Hannah, you slupped. You've been on everything but the Titanic. Stop it right now.

And I love the character interactions between Bruno Kirby, who plays Lieutenant Hulk, who's kind of like the, you know, he's like a whiny, kind of wants everything to be straight-laced and no, you know, you can't say that, you know.

Furthermore, you ought to stick to playing normal modes of music, not wild stuff. Those we would find acceptable here would include Lawrence Welk, Jim Navis, Mattel Vani.

Percy Faith.

Percy Faith! Good! Andy Williams Perry Como certain ballads by Mr. Anxious.

Would Bob Ellen be out of line?

Way, way, way out of line.

And uh Robin Williams just goes against him on everything. And then there's Lieutenant uh Wal uh JT Walsh, who historically plays like bad guys in movies. Um, you know, he's he's kind of like a supervisor too, and he hates him. And uh it's just the uh fun fun movie with him and how he does some of the uh skits that he does. Yeah, he's spectacular.

Sad. Remember that part uh sorry, um that part where uh the soldiers actually, you know, they were all being transported or whatever, and they met him and they were just grinning tea or two. Yeah, he does like an impression of happiness.

Yeah, because that's what that's what you know, you know, in reality, that's what those guys needed. They didn't, you know, they wanted they wanted to laugh. They needed some fun. They don't they don't need the you know the propaganda or anything like that. They need an escapism, lightheartedness.

Exactly.

Absolutely.

I when I said heartbreaking, I just meant.

Yeah, there was a lot of funny that was a great movie because it it was, you know, there was a lot of funny moments, but then it also had you know pretty pretty deep drama too. So yeah.

Definitely. Awesome. All right, Kev, we're to number two, I believe.

Two. So this is funny. So um the guy that you were talking about in Roxanne, Chris, is uh Rosovich. Rick Rick Rosovich is the actor who was in Top Gun, as well as John Stockwell, who was in Top Gun, and was also Dennis in Christine, and Tom Cruise, who was obviously Maverick in Top Gun, were all in the movie Losin' it with Jackie Earl Haley when they drove down to Tijuana to lose it. Absolute classic from the era. They stop to to kind of pill for some snacks at a convenience store where Shelly Long is fighting with her husband, so she ends up getting in the car with them and uh just to go down to Tijuana to get the the Mexican divorce. Um, and then she keeps coming back into the picture, but it's just great. It's just the old, you know, everything, all the rumors about what could happen in Mexico, about the police wanting bribes, about getting the interior done on his 57 Chevy, and they leave Wendell there to keep an eye on it so they don't put cow shit, they don't stuff the seats with cow shit where they gets to tuck and roll. I mean, it's just like all of the I mean, we grew up hearing all of those stories, and they all kind of came into losing it. It's just a great fun, fun film from that era.

Dave's been itching for it. What he can't stand it.

If I can wait, why can't you wait?

And Spider will do anything for it.

Fire!

Stop him! There comes a time when nothing seems more important than losing it.

As crude as we want, as yummy as we want, and as grossest we want.

Wait.

I'm not like ordinary guys. I got more of them hormones or something. Hello. How was I supposed to know that you were your sister?

Get those minions!

It's the last word about the first time losing.

I need to re-watch that, man, because it's been I I think I saw it like right when it came out.

Yeah.

And not since.

AJ, tell the story about you and David down in Cancun where that whole thing about.

So there is some truth about bribing the police in Mexico. Very much truth, because it happened to me and our dearest brother David. We were uh walking from one bar to go to Senior Frogs, and David decides he needs to take a leak. So he walks like two steps into the woods and peas into the lagoon, and a friggin' van pulls up next to us, and like seven cops come out and they arrest David. I'm like, what's going on? What happens? You know, we take him to police station, you pay fine, we let him go in mourning, and I'm just like, how about I just pay the fine right now? And how much is it? And it was 20 bucks. That was 20 American. I give them a 20 and then they take it, we're fine, and then we walk into Senior Frogs and order a fucking beer, and Dave tells me it's my turn to buy the round. I'm like, I just bailed you out of jail, buddy. In Mexico. Who knows what's gonna happen in a Mexican jail, for God's sake.

And he makes you it's your turn to buy the beer.

So it's true. Awesome.

Okay, Mark. All right, well, Donnie picked this one already, and uh there there were plenty of funny scenes in it on planes, trains, and automobiles with Steve Martin, who was very uh uptight in this for the longest time, and John Candy, and you know, they got along great towards the end. And the uh the the funniest part, one of the funny parts to me, Donnie actually picked the two that I wanted to pick, but the fact that they were still driving around in that car that went through the two uh 18-wheelers, got shredded, and then stu set on fire. Next thing you know, they're driving the damn thing and they're pulled over.

I forgot what Yeah, and they twelve it off. Top of the morning, officer. Hi. Is there something I can help you with?

What the hell are you driving here?

We had a small fire last night, but we caught in the nick of time.

You have any idea how fast you were going?

Well, funnily enough, I was just talking to my friend about that. Our speedometers melted, and as a result, it's very hard to say with any degree of accuracy exactly uh how fast we were going.

78 miles an hour.

78, huh? Well, yeah, I could buy that. Sure, I guess. Uh, you know, uh you would be better than us, uh, especially since we got a melted speedometer.

Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?

Yes, I do. Yes, I really do. I I I believe that. I know it's not pretty to look at, but it'll get you where you want to go.

Now you got no outside mirror. No, we lost that. You have no functioning gauges. No, not a one.

However, the radio still works. Funny as that may seem, with all this mess that the radio is the only thing that's really working good, and it's it's clear as a bell. Don't ask me how.

And you know, they got pulled over and somehow they kept going after that.

It's like Yeah, because the cops like, how fast are you going? He's like, I I don't know because the dashboard is burned up, you know, just the way he's like, Yeah, I wish I, you know, I don't really know dashboards, kind of couldn't tell you.

Oh, I was laughing up and down that movie, you know. So awesome.

Yep. Kind of the same as uh Tommy Boy, right? Where they destroyed Spade's car. With the deer. With the deer.

Oh, that was awesome. My car is completely destroyed. I swear I've seen a lot of stuff in my life, but that was awesome.

But sorry about your car, man.

All right, number two to me. And this is something that I'm actually really surprised didn't come up in round one. And I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet. And that would be from 1988. And it would be the Naked Gun. Oh, the files, you know, from the files of police squad. What can I say about this movie? It's just one of the greatest slapsticks ever. Leslie Nielsen, probably the greatest slapstick actor of all time, just you know, Frank Drebin. And just uh just to go, I won't go too into detail because who knows? But just one of my favorite scenes in this movie is in the beginning when they're suspecting that uh there's drug dealers at the shipyard on the boat, and the late OJ Simpson goes in. Nordberg. And he like he's like, put your hands up, and it's like there's like six people aiming a gun at him, and he's like, drop him, and one guy drops his gun, and they all look at him like you friggin' idiot. So he bends over and picks it up, but then they shoot OJ, and instead of, you know, the pain of the gunshot, he goes through a series of events like sticking his hand in wet paint and going, Oh no, and then puts his hand on the windowsill, and the windowsill closes on his hand. He's like, oh it's just fucking hilarious. Just every little stupid line from the movie, all the I mean, there's countless one times that we could do. No, he's one of my favorites, and then I'll go to you, Don, just because I don't want to kill the movie, but uh, is when he's walking one night in deep thought, and he's just goes up a mountaintop and and he's just talking to himself, you know, narrating, and you know, I love her, and this and that. And then he gets to the mountaintop and he just says, and where the hell was I?

Where the hell am I?

Did Ludwig lie to me? I didn't have any proof, but somehow I didn't entirely trust him either. Why was the I love you not listed in Ludwig's records? And if it was, did he know about it? And if he didn't, who did? And where the hell was I?

I love that the name Nordberg became an adjective for a girl with a hairy uh I mean to this day, every time I hear beaver, it's like nice beaver. Nice beaver.

Thank you. I just had it stuffed.

Let me help you with that.

Oh, thank you. I just had it stuffed.

Just had it stuffed. And how about when he rubs the birthmark off of Gorbachev's head? I knew it!

I knew it.

Says, I knew it.

Awesome. Okay, Dong. All right. Beetlejuice, beetle juice, beetle juice. I love Beetlejuice. You know, it's kind of a kind of a sci-fi horror comedy, and um I loved Michael Keaton in it. He was awesome. His character is Beetlejuice.

My wife and I would like to ask you a couple of questions. For instance, uh, what are your qualifications?

Ah, well, I tend to truly are. I'm a graduate of the Harvard Business School. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague, and I had a pretty good time during that.

I've seen The Exorcist about 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it! Not to mention the fact that you're talking to a dead guy. Now what do you think? Yeah, they don't qualify.

Um, Alec Baldwin, Gina Davis, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Katherine O'Hara, um, just a lot of funny scenes. There's awesome cinematography. I yeah, at the time that was like pretty cool. I love the DAW De La Command they wanna go home. Like, that's a great scene. Like they're trying to like scare the shit out of them, and then it like backfires on them, and then and the people that were at that dinner were like, This is amazing, we can make money off this, and you know.

Yeah. When they go into the like purgatory afterlife with the woman with the you know, open.

Right, like how they kissed how they killed themselves would reflect in the afterlife. Like I don't get the guy with the little head. Was that like some uh it was like a witch doctor kind of guy or something?

Yeah, yeah, a witch doctor shrunk his head. Yeah, that happens to him at the end, too. Right. Right.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I also the I also love the scene where they first meet Beetlejuice when Gina Davis and Alec Baldwin were in his little town that he made, and he climbs up out of the ground and he's like grabbing his crotch and see he built a whorehouse in there.

Yeah. I'm feeling a little uh anxious, if you know what I mean. Been about 600 years, after all. I wonder where a guy in everyday Joe like myself could find a little action.

Yeah.

Yeah. Peak Michael. Yeah.

Yes. That was awesome. Tim Burton movie, too.

Incredible. Tim Burton, that's a surprise. It's right up his alley, so anyway.

Oh yeah. All right, Kev. Number one to you to start wrapping it up. All right.

I just always love this movie. And it's funny because John Candy, again, is our hero, but in all honesty, being in a resort area, I kind of side with Richard Corona more in summer rental. Because I mean, obviously, it starts out he gets sent on vacation because he's freaking out as an air traffic controller, so they drive all night and they get to the place and it's this beautiful lakefront home. And then in the middle of the night, the family that owns the house shows up and they were on what is it, like beachfront lane instead of beachfront drive. So the next morning they wake up and they're sitting there in this crappy little condo having breakfast, and everybody's walking by on their way to the beach and looking in the window at them. Um just hilarious. Um Candy gets a sunburn at the beginning of it, falls asleep, so he's dealing with that through the rest of it. Um then they have the obviously, which we've talked about so many times, such a common theme in those movies was the rich versus the poor, and Richard Krenna's the rich guy, and he walks past them and gets their lobsters in their table, and it's he's Ah, look at these beauties.

Don't serve those. What what are you doing? These are my lobsters. Your lobsters? Yeah, you got my table, but you're not getting my lobsters. Oh, and this is your table?

My table. Oh, I see. This is your table, and these are your lobsters. You got it. I suppose this is your wife. Is this your tie? Nope. Is this your shirt? Is this your belt? Are these your shorts?

Hey, I have been driving all day long. We just get into town, I'm waiting out in line there for two hours when you come in here.

Yeah. Well, I've been in town for 30 years. Thirty years! And every summer your goddamn renters come down here, and you think you can take over the whole town? Well, you can't. Huh? Boil them.

Wait a minute. Signore, now we will have a table ready for you in twenty minutes. My table?

Oh, and I suppose this is your wife. They go back and forth, but but like I said, it it's it it's that. I mean, how many times do we say it about renters? You know what I mean? Being in an area that is we have renters that come here. So I'm much more sympathetic to Richard Krenner's role than than I would be if I didn't live in a resort area. But absolute classic movie. Uh, was it Carrie Green? I think this was prior to Goonies, but she plays his daughter. So nice to see her in that. Because and it's weird because now I'm this age and she's that age in that movie, but we're really the same age, so it's very is it okay to because I was it's it is okay. Right. She she's my age, damn it. She's her age when they made the movie. Exactly. Exactly.

Awesome. All right, brother Mark, number one to you.

Okay, well, this movie has my favorite actor of all time in it. His he played a part, his name was Hooch, and uh the movie is Turner and Hooch. And this I have never laughed so hard about a canine that I did in this movie. I mean, okay, Tom Hanks is, you know, young Tom Tom Hanks, obviously, and he's he's a a a cop in a uh small city and he's moving to the big city and everything. And uh one of his good friends that lived um near this uh fish packing plant or whatever, um the dog witnessed his friend get murdered, and he was the only witness, so he uh you know he became Tom Hanks. Uh he Tom Hanks was caring for him and everything, and he because he thought he might get some clues, blah blah blah, but they didn't hit it off at first. I mean, he's like getting into the everything, getting into the refrigerator, eating everything, ransacking the place. But uh and uh my funniest part in this movie though is uh they're they're kind of I mean he Hanks is kind of warming up to him a little bit at this point, but he puts him away, he makes sure he cannot get in the house. And uh it's like okay, yeah, I mean there's no way this hooch is gonna get in the house. And all of a sudden Tom Hanks wakes up, pulls up the covers, and there he is, Hooch is sleeping next to Tom Hanks. It was so funny. And one of the other things in this movie, I mean uh I know she's like the the most obscure uh bratpacker Mayor Winningham, but there was something about his re I mean, she was the vet and her her relationship with Uh Tom Hanks was I don't know, it reminded me when I met Valerie because even the things they were saying to each other were very similar. I mean I not to get sappy at the end of the show, but that spoke to me and uh it was just a hoot. That friggin' dog was a ride.

Like canine and they did a lot of those dog movies. But that was a good one.

Looking at the dog tennis sneaker and the laces are hanging out the sides of his mouth.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He had the drool. I'm like, he looks like a friggin' walrus or something there. But uh you know, it just it made me really I mean Rocky, I guess, my dog, he was he was upset at the end of it too when uh Hooch gets shot and everything. And he told you know, he told me, and you know, if you if you have a dog that's your best friend, I mean you're a blessed human being. So that's my take.

Absolutely. All right. So number one to me, hmm. I guess I would call this a cult classic, and it's from 1983, and I could not think of something else that I could put number one here because this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in my life, and yes, it's another Steve Martin movie, and it's called The Man with Two Brains, and this is something that, like I say, a cult classic because it was never as big as a lot of his movies, but it's one of his best without that movie. Yeah, and he's a surgeon in the movie who invents the cranial screw top where you can unscrew the top of someone's head to perform brain surgery, and he's with uh he he actually hits Kathleen Turner with a car and saves her life. But there's so many funny scenes in this. When he's in the operating room, once in a while, you'll hear a cat and he'll just be like, get that cat out of here.

Metz and Bomb scissors, get that cat out of here. Yes, sir. Pretty the clothes, remove the wheat lander retractor.

He'll say, Sweat on upper lip, remove sweat, metz and bomb scissors when he's driving before he hits Kathleen Turner in the car. Uh there's a little jiggly doll on the like bobblehead thing on the on the dash, and the passenger's like, Is that your wife? No, no, that's just a statue of her. It's so fucking stupid, but he hits her, winds up with her, um loves her, whatever, and then she's a raging scam artist bitch, and then he falls in love with a brain, and it's and a Melmahei because his name is Dr. Havhar. And nobody can say it right. They're like Havar Havar, Havar, huh? But it's it's fucking great, it's hilarious. Yeah. Excuse me, do you have battering ram? Yes, you bring back. But my funniest scene in this movie, I know I'm rambling here, everyone, but when you watch it, you'll appreciate it. But it's his D week test. Yes. Oh, yeah. We talked about that a little bit over. That is so classic. Yeah. To to he has to do the sobriety test, a field test, and now hop on one hand, like sing the ma'am mah ma'am, you know, while hopping on one foot and juggling.

All right. Now juggle dance, do I tap dance?

And sing the Catalina Magdalena Lupenstein the Wallenbeiner song.

Damn your drunk tests are hard.

All right, so I'm not drunk. You can go.

He just ends it with damn your drunk tests are hard.

See that scene.

I should look at Modelena Connelly or whatever it was, yeah. Yes.

Oh my god. Fucking great scene. And he does it the whole thing, though. He does it. And he does.

Okay, you're not dry.

I'm living Germany, right? So awesome. Okay, Dongo, number one to you to wrap her up.

I I had stripes, um, but I gotta put in an audible. Uh because uh I one thing I will say about stripes is I use this line almost weekly, is when I run into something, I always say, like, get that out of here. Remove that, have that removed.

Have that removed.

Because there's a scene in stripes where he he bumps into something, it's John Lair Cap bumps into something. He's like, it was like ad lib, too. Like he didn't mean to, he he just ran into something and he's like, have that removed. So I say that all the time. Like, who put that there? Have that removed. Uh but yeah. So but I will go with Uncle Buck, because it was a good, feel good movie. John Candy, again, name been used quite often today. Uh Lost Too Soon, you know, that guy was in you know tons of movies in the 80s. And there were so many funny scenes in that movie. It's just a good heartwarming movie. Um, you know, like the interactions between him and Macaulay Culkin were amazing. You know, how he's like interrogating him. He's like, You ask a lot of questions, don't you?

Where do you live? Do you have a house? Apartment. Oh no, rent. What do you do for a living?

Lots of things. Where's your office? I don't have one.

How come?

I don't need one. Where's your wife? Don't have one. It's a long story.

Do you have kids?

No, I don't. It's an even longer story.

Are you my dad's brother?

What's your record for consecutive questions asked?

38.

I'm your dad's brother, all right.

You have much more hair on your nose than my dad.

How nice of you notice.

I'm a kid, that's my job.

You know, that was classic. But I I I still love the scene where he's asking his like uh sister-in-law, he's like, How's your plumbing? You know, yeah, I've been kind of like bound up lately, so you know, like, do you have good plumbing? You know.

While I'm thinking of these things uh for the morning, you know, my plumbing is just so bad. Well, of course, yours is a good plumbing here, right? Yeah, I would imagine. Yes, don't worry about it. You know, everything will be fine. Just been bound up lately. It's it's it's driving me crazy. I've been eating a lot of cheese for some reason. I don't know what it is. I got a craving for the stuff. I think maybe that's an allergy or something.

Yeah.

I don't know. I can't get enough cheese. I feel like a big mouse.

Basically, it's saying he's gonna take monster dumps in there. Oh yeah. Yeah. Uh but it was classic. And there's a teenage girl who's going through teenage girl stuff, and uh he he's great with her, you know. He uh puts up with a lot of uh flack from her with Grace, and then he he he helps her out in the end. It's just a it's good, good family movie.

Yeah, Bug gets handsy with it, right? Yeah, so he shows up with a tire iron.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's one of the best scenes ever.

Yeah, my favorite that one when he's talking to the principal and she's got that big old wart, and he goes, How you doing? I'm I'm I'm I'm Maisie Russell's wart.

Take this quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.

I'm I'm wait. And then she pisses him off. She's a dreamer. She's in third grade. She should be. Here's a quarter. Go downtown and have a rat chew that mole off your face.

I think she says gnaw. No, yeah, she says you're right. Have a rat and gnaw that off.

I mean, how how good he was such a you know, you could just tell he was a good like soul. Like he had a good soul. Yeah, yeah. And it was lost too soon for sure, you know. But yeah, heart attack. I mean, I'm not surprised. I mean, obviously he was carrying a lot of weight, but you know. Hey, it can happen to anybody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did he carry that weight because it was his there was some something about that, and the same thing with the other gentleman I can't think of right now, but Chris Farley maybe too. You know, that would become part of their persona and part of their image. And you know, there was part of that, and I I guess that was mentioned at times too. So yeah.

It's like the opposite of packing a weight onto a football player. You know what I mean?

Yeah, because he Yeah. So I mean, we picked, I mean, I had three John Candy movies, and Uncle Buck was a consideration. You guys had other ones.

But how about him and John Stripes, where he was like, I'm gonna get out of here. I'm gonna be a lean, mean fighting machine, you know.

It wasn't that big.

He wasn't that big in that movie, no. Yeah.

No, he was a little I mean, you know.

Yeah, yeah.

That was off, right?

So we did what, four or five uh Steve Martin movies? Yeah. Yep, yep. All of me, Man with Two Brains, uh Rock Troy. Awesome, boys. That was fun. As always, that was a lot of fun. And uh, Brother Mark, thank you much.

Yeah, that there was a lot of laughs on this show. I had a blast, and I hope the audience has fun with it too. Indeed. Thanks, man. See ya.

Of course, Kevin? Yes, thank you all.

See you next time.

Awesome, and I am AJ. However, before we go, I would like to always thank everyone out there for listening. We can't appreciate it more. Please uh check out the Facebook site and uh the other socials, check out the website, and we are out.
