WUH: SCMODS

Wake Up Heavy is a weirding Way media podcast. You shouldn't live Bill, I bet those cops have got smuts smuts. Now it is gentleman is in the pleasure on the management to present to you the evening star Trash. Here we are back a welcome to Wake Up Heavy, the world's greatest hard movie podcast. Won't you welcome you on?

Sad My dear dad and I will be talking about right Hello, and welcome back to Wake Up Heavy. It's been a while, and it's been a while since my very special guest has been on over a half a year now on the back to School episode, So welcome to my special guest, Hi, Cleo Leo. And we're actually going to have some of the same stuff from back then. I just kind of spot listened through that episode and I was like, oh, we talked about this back then, and now we finally watched it, the return of the Dongle, and we found the dongle the right dongle this time. So I'm going to just use all the same clips from that episode, including the dongle clip.

So let's say since that right now, dongle feels good to me. Dongle is fun. Isn't it. Dongle sounds like a good time. Yeah, I'm a big fan of dongle.

What does a dongle do? Exactly? Well, first and foremost, the dongle goes in a port, right, so people could kind of insert. Yes, it's been a while since I've put anything out November of twenty twenty three, to be exact, And the last time Clevel and I recorded was in August of last year before she went back to school. Talked about a whole bunch of my favorite modern horror movies.

On that episode. I had created a list that we went through, including Green Room, which we talked a lot about, which we didn't watch again. Yes, we do, so we have. Are we just sticking with the two or are we doing anything else? Or we can just stick with the two?

Okay? The main attraction you have been to put a plug in there for people. The Chasing Chevy Chase podcast will be starting soon over on weirdingwaymedia dot com with Christashu, Mike White, and I as the host. So we have been watching most of those here as a family, including the latest one, which I don't believe will be released until September. Oh my lord.

The Chasing Chevy Chase podcast starts this month in April, so keep your ears on ies peel for that, folks. And that was Modern Problems. It's pretty awful. Yeah, folks can can wait until September to listen to us rip that movie apart. It's okay.

Of the Chevy Chase movies that we've watched, which ones have you enjoyed? That would be did you guys watch seems like Old Times with me one with him and Goldie Hawn where he's like a weird one? Does he think he did? He's I was out there mistaken he gets caught up in that. Yeah, bank robbery nonsense?

Yeah? Yeah. Did you guys watch Under the Rainbow with me? About the no Munchicken snow watch Caddy Shack? Yeah, which is relevant to the discussion today, which I'll get to.

People have heard this story, but I'll probably tell it again. I'm talking off microphone here. Sorry, Uh, Caddy Shack? What E'll center the Rainbow? Modern Modern pro I guess that was it.

That's enough about Chevy Chase. Wait, no, what was that the one with the two dudes and he was the doctor? Was that one the two dudes? Oh? Dirty work?

Yeah, we watched that. Yeah, that's a special special episode of that podcast with Mom and Donald. Pretty funny. That was not the worst of the ones that we have watched. You don't want to talk about Poor Things.

I liked Poor Things. I want to talk about together too movie. Yes, we let our sixteen year old daughter watch Poor Things. You can send your so for male. You can send your mail to someone who cares.

I love that. That was a really fun movie. I really loved the costumes in that movie and also a mustone because it's a mustone and she was good. And his next movie with her and Willem Dafoe is coming out in a few months. Kind of surprised that one is coming so quick on the heels.

This wasn't my favorite your Ghosh Lantemosh movie. I think Killing of a Sacred Deer is still my favorite of his that I've seen. But they're all very interesting. I've only seen Poor Things, so but I really liked it. I mean, definitely watch the other ones now.

They're no worse than that. Brow Tooth is very brutal and upsetting, but it's very interesting as well. Okay, so I guess we're sticking to two and these were watched in this last week. It was spring break here for us. We watched A Camp Lasher and a camp quote unquote other camp classic in a way.

Yeah, yeah, per your request. So what was that film? Yes, I did sleep Away Camp. You Won't Be Coming Home? And why did you pick it?

You mentioned you had seen I had seen the stupid baseball scene where they all have crop tops and jean shorts on and they're all really mean to each other. It's kind of a meme memable yeah moment in that film. There's quite a few memorable moments in that film. White, did you know anything about the twist ending? I had seen her face and that's him, Yeah, that's me, that's as well.

Yeah, I've only ever seen in the face, so I knew that. But did you know that I had to do with younger identity? I don't think so. So spoilers ahead for a sleep Away Camp if you haven't seen it all, But it has one of the most shocking and surprising endings. I think it's one of the saving graces of the film, because otherwise it's not very good.

I don't know if you agree about that. Well, it's so, Yeah, it is definitely an odd one. The I've talked about it briefly on my show before when I did a slasher series. I don't think I spotlighted this movie, but I know I talked about it a little bit because of its odd nature and how it's very mean spirited throughout, Like everybody's awful. There's a pedophile that gets scalded to death.

Yeah, a pot that's taller than him, practically the tallest plot in film history. Full of hot boiling water, well not yet, corn almost yeah, corn. And the weird thing going on between the young oh my god, the counselor and the head of the camp. I've never understood that. And what was his name, mel Yeah, Megan mel Hey, that's kind of perfect.

He eats the crap out of Yeah, his cousin and oh, it's just a weird eat Ricky. He beats the crap out of it. It's almost to death. Crazy. Actual kids are killed in this one.

It's not just the teens, and they're not even really teens. They're like thirteen. They're pretty he's pretty young, I guess, well, some of like mean older, but Angela is pretty young. There's a lot of the boys though, like during that baseball the infamous baseball game are older. There's I guess they're counselors, though maybe I don't know.

I think they're. Well, that one dude we're in the speedo shorts is a counselor. Yeah, the big guy, the muscular guy, the only appears in the movie sympathetic character in the whole movie sympathetic character. I should say, yeah, because she's likes pretty much everybody's a turd in that describe. Yeah, but that ending is if you don't know anything about it and you catch that for the first time, it's quite shocking, this gender swap thing that her aunt has forced her into or him into.

Yeah. Also the aunt, Yeah, the crazy aunt, and she's part of the camp. Can't be aspect of the the progressiveness of the opening with the having two dads I mean, yeah, three, and then they immediately kill one of them. Yeah, I think I miss what happens to the other dad, but he goes crazy or something. Oh, I don't remember.

I don't know. I think, oh, maybe because she doesn't end up with him. But also I don't think they were like legal guardians, so of course she wouldn't end up with it. True because it's the lady, and we don't find out until the end that the little girl in the family was was the kid that was killed in this quoting accident, and that crazy aunt forces in Peter Yeah to be uh Angela. She always wanted to.

And there is an infamous reveal of a fully naked man, in this case Angela mask that riggered scream. I'm not sure why they chose that as the thing to make. It's a pretty convincing mask though, mask is a really good mask at the end there, and it's it's it's pretty er. Yeah, I do want to say, look at like remembering there's the movie the aunt at the beginning talks about like, don't tell anyone where you got your physicals. Don't tell anyonehere you got physicals.

Of course she's not going to have these at least Angela go to an actual doctor, right because it's not Angela. But I just like remember that that she did the physicals herself for the two kids for king. Oh yeah, I missed that part. So suspicious already again looking back on it, like when she's what's his name, Paul, the kid that she likes, Angela likes, yeah, sort of nice, sort of nice. He's a little funky.

He doesn't treat her all that well either. No, when he's on top of her kissing her, she has that flashback to her two dads kissing, which is also a hint, I guess, mm hmm true. But that was also an interesting because just watching that, you're like, why the hell did they put a flashback like that? The that's so weir and her and her brother is sitting on the bed and the brother is pointing at her and yeah, which I think out of context of knowing the end of the film wouldn't really maybe make just yet. Yeah, this is why she's so I'm not going to call her strange.

She's just really reserved and shy. Yes. Yeah. Also like, isn't it traumatized? Yeah?

Isn't the camp literally where or like a similar lake where her family die? Yeah? I was trying to piece the same place. Well, because at the beginning they show the camp, I feel like they're showing the camp almost after the fact of what has happened. Okay with her, And then because this is for sale on camp airwack, right, and there's a sheriff sign on the gate, and yeah, okay, that feels to me, like after afterwards, and then we flash forward to them on the lake.

Is it the same lake? I'm not sure if it's. If that's what we're supposed to get from that, I was a little confused. It's very possible either way. It's still a lake and that's where she's going.

I was gonna say. Also, the kills in this movie, like you're talking about the giant hot hot the kills were fun. The snake coming out of that kid's mouth, Oh yeah, that was a pretty good I was also a convincing dummy head, to be honest. Yeah, that little and then it just slithers out a little tiny garter snake comes out of his mouth. Narally.

The bees, although I don't, didn't look like a bee's nest to me, just to be you know, amal about stuff, more like a wasps nest. But anyway, because once the buzzing started, I was like, oh, they put bees in that stall or whatever. But when it just looking at it, You're like, so, what was that supposed to be. It's a little clunky, But then the reveal of again of the body is pretty well done, gruesome makeup, and like one of the bees actually crawls out of a hole in his arm. Oh, I don't think I noticed that.

That's disgusting. If they used caro syrup and food coloring, like most low budget horror movies, it would make sense that bees would be swarming and digging into it. So, yeah, of cours. The meg kill also, which I want to talk about, because she gets killed on the side of the shower, right, she should have fallen to the other side of the shower, but when mel comes in there, she falls facing forward, sure like this, So she twisted a little bit when she died, but that stabbed through the back of the showers pretty gnarly. Yeah, who else dies, Judy?

That one was weird. Okay, that's when your mom got home. Yeah, and she was like us, curling her hair in the dark in the cabin, which also makes a lot of sense. You know it's to set up to kill. Yeah, the hot curling iron kill.

We won't discuss where it was. Yeah, and then well Paul in his head. Yeah, disturbing, it's disturbing. It was a fun little movie, though, a fun little watch because of how weird it was. Like, have we watched many more of the I know we've watched the first four Friday the Thirteenth films, But have we watched any other camp slasher films other than Fear Street.

Yeah, second Fear Street movie. I know they should bring that genre back because it's funny camp horror movie. Sure, there's a few recent modern ones that are out there that probably aren't very good. Yeah, I should look back on my list, Like The Burning is kind of interesting. Shoot, I need I need to look at my list again to see here's a couple fun ones out there.

But I don't know if we've watched like we watched the Friday the Thirteenth movies. I don't know if there's really any other ones other than this and fierce. Are you there's a ton out there, a ton of Friday the Thirteenth ripoffs? Of course? All right, anything more about Sleepaway Camp said the awesome credits song at the end.

Oh, also, yeah, what they called the Angelusiti. But I was just like, okay, what is it? Was pretty bad? Geez, that was a fun movie. I'd probably rewatch that.

Let's hit the Big Cleo finally watched movie here, So yeah, Dad forced me to watch. Okay, So we talked about this briefly back on that back to school episode in August. This is a movie that I have jokingly suggested anytime your mom are like, let's watch something funny, and I'm like, wow, well we could watch you know, the Blues Brothers is on DVR. You would always kind of poo poo it, Yes, you would. We never watched it.

I seriously and unseriously suggested it numerous times over the last couple of years. Numerous Oh what back in August when I was taking you to Auntie's house during the summer. One of those days, Rubber Biscuit came on, of course, and you were tickled by that song. Heck yeah, And that was the first indication that you gave that you might be interested in watching the movie. But I had to say, sorry, it's not in the movie, and then I got sad.

Yeah, So it took another seven months before we finally watched it. I talked about it a couple of weeks ago or something, and then at the beginning of your spring break, I mentioned, well, maybe maybe now, maybe we'll watch it this week. Yeah, and we did. We watched it the day before my birthday. So that was a little early birthday gift there.

You go I'm so smart. So, even without Rubber Biscuit being a part of the soundtrack, what did you think of the Blues Brother, I'm very silly and funny. I liked it. I like the gags in it. And Carry Fisher Carrie Fisher.

Yeah, of course, it's one of those. I hate to say it because I know that there are plenty of women out there that enjoy the film, but it's kind of a dude movie. And I say that because it was written by juvenile mend and has maybe two three female characters in it, none of which interact. It does not pass the Bechdel test because none of these women interact with each other or have a conversation outside of the interest of the male leads. Carry Fisher is basically a cipher until the end of the movie.

Twiggies in it for as a cameo and Aretha Franklin and it just gets to sing a song and that's it for female characters. Oh yeah, and the penguin sister Mary Stigma I think is her name. She was a fun little bit there where she the door opens and clothes it headens and hurts me that the two young men whom I raised to believe in the Ten Commandments have returned to me is two thieves with filthy mouths and bad attitudes. Yeah, it gives that first indication that, yeah, we're in the real world, but are we really? Unrealistic?

Things happen and throughout this movie, and I like how they're just sprinkled throughout, mostly in regard to them. Yeah, but there's cartoon violence sprinkled throughout. It's ridiculous, but it works for some reason. And maybe it's just me having grown up with the movie. It doesn't seem out of place.

The opening with her or the first scene outside of the prison when he gets out, that long stended credit sequence, which I love as well. And they go and visit her at the orphanage that they grew up in, and she's floating back and forth from the door. The doors open and close on their own, so she has powers because she's a nun. She also beats them them mercilessly because they're swearing. That was silly.

Also the scary Jesus she's a fix right outside her door and the one inside her room. Yep, great setup for the rest of the film. Yeah, it's a good little intro because then yeah, like you said it's just a real world, but also, ah, there's a lot going on that's not necessarily real. Well. Also, like when we were first introduced to Carrie Fisher, doesn't she pull like a rock puncher out?

Oh that's a little later, but her first weapon, she just like pulls it out of the back of her car and immediately gets ready, So like it's just kind of random stuff like that could realistically happen. But also just her being so casual about it is funny. Them just walking away unscathed, brushing off the dust. That's the Yeah, first time she's there, and then shortly thereafter is that really great? The building scene where she destroys the building, which get it totally up until a couple of years ago finding out how they did that, I was like, did they actually destroy like a condemned building.

It's surrounded by all this other stuff, so it's a really interesting It's part miniature, part Matt painting, parting. Yeah, all this stuff. So if you look at it really hard or pause through it, if you have it on blu ray or something, you can kind of see the edges of things. But it's done so convincingly. And then the edit to the building collapse.

I mean, the building collapsing itself is impressive. Yeah, and that's actual people falling through holes in the floor when he falls down through it. What it explodes so funny, it's really convincing. You know. One of the reasons it cost so much money back then in nineteen eighty one of the most expensive films.

Yeah, back then, twenty seven million is nothing these days, but oh yeah, to pick up a lot for a non adventure film or big sci fi epic or something like that. Yeah, because when we finally got to that the police car chase at the head, I was like, so, how expensive was this movie? Because they're just a crush of these cars. Yeah, they're just crushing these cars. The rumor is that about half of the budget was spent on cocaine.

So oh yeah, I remember reading about that way back. That's when the movie first came out. It checks out. The songs were really fun. Yeah, I was going to ask you about the music.

What did you think of the music? I liked it. The Oh which one was it? Oh, the one where they're all inside the pawn shop or whatever it was doing music, but outside there's a giant flash mob, which was funny because I said that word because that was an answer on Jeopardy the same night. Yeah, I was like, there's a flash mob outside, and then it was what is this is it?

And the answer was flushed mob. But that song was fun and that goes a little bit to the unrealistic elements of the film, where it's very possible that they would sit in there and jam away, but that everybody else in the neighborhood would perform a perfect choreographed dance. That's you know, that's the musical aspect. Yeah, definitely, all the music makes sense in context of the film, but yeah, some of the stuff that happens around it is of that. You know, people break out in song and musicals and perform dances and musical numbers, and this is one of the few times that that happens in the film.

This and the Aretha Franklin scene, yeah, with the three girls her backup singer. Also, I'm going back and forth, but the scene where they're in the restaurant and he's like sell me your children or whatever he says, that's so awful. Like at that Ben Mankowitz at the opening, he says something like the plot such as it is is them trying to get this money to save the orphanage they grew up in. And the rest is just kind of there. It's there too, fun scenes, little vignettes throughout, and yeah, some movies that do that don't work very well, but this one, to me works perfectly.

They're going on a little journey, so it still makes sense. It is a little bit like an odyssey. Yeah, definitely, all those vignettes, except maybe for the when they get the majority of the band at the holiday inn isn't really There's no gags or anything really all that funny there, except for the song that they're singing. Oh wait, was I have the holiday? And when they get blown up in the phone is that at the holiday or is that somewhere else?

Because they shoot up in the air then sat when they go back to the it's not then when they find those maybe it is. Gosh, now I'm confused. I sure with the flamethrower, yeah, and the yeah next to the phone booth just skyrockets into the air comes crashing. No, yeah, because that's when they go back because they're trying to get gas, I'm pretty sure, and they're like, yeah, we're gonna be late or whatever, and then they get blown up. No, but I love that because they're like back in the restaurant, they're like, we want to move from these people.

And then he like scoots a chair it over and he's like, sell me your kids. I don't even know what he says. It's just so omful. He says, how much for the women? Tell me your children?

How much for the little girl? The women? How much for the women? What you're women? I want to buy your women, the little girl, your daughters, sell them to me, Sell me your children with pee.

We heard R. Paul Rubens as a one of the Yeah waiters and he's like twelve. See in the book, which I'm trying to find a decently priced copy of because I would like to reread it again, they have to find each member of the band. They're all spread out. They're not all at the Holiday Inn or you know, there's like three fourths of them are at the Holiday Inn in the movie, not in the book.

I think only Murph is there at the Holiday Inn and they have to go. So it's much more extended bits throughout. And that's one of the things about dan Aykroyd. He writes these really long, involved scripts that have to be trimmed down Samoth, Ghostbusters, Samoth, a bunch of other reviews of his, but the novelization basically takes that full, like three hundred page script and just transcribes it. And I remember, because I read the book before I saw the movie, uh huh, I remember being disappointed that we didn't get all of the quests to get band member, because they're fun.

Like the restaurant scene is fun. The rest seem's fun, tossing shrimp into his mouth or each other ows, the interaction with that family, the Snooty Family, Snooty Bee. Yeah, I've always liked stories like that where it's just like on a bunch of trips to go in and do something. It's like the Old brother We're Art though some of the other Coen Brothers movies where they use the Odyssey as the inspiration and always a fun I loved reading that. You know, it's kind of a road movie type of situation.

Yeah, I mean they're in the car half the movie. So another like kind of not definitely not similar to Blues Brothers, but like another kind of on the road movie is Little Miss Sunshine. They have little quests, right, which I love that movie. I like movies like that, so that was it was fun that it was like that. I do too.

Yeah, they have a goal that they need to reach, and the getting there is part of the fun. What about the scene at the church with the Reverend Cleophis, Oh, hell yeah, where I found that one white lady in the back choir. I was like, there's a white chick back there. There's a blonde lady in the corner. Because I've never noticed before.

She's in the very back corner, back right hand corner of the screen. For anyone that wants to spot her the next time, I'll watch it, and I nicknamed her Susie. That scene was fun because I was sort of like, oh, he's so sweaty. It wasn't even doing that much. Hello, welcome to James Brown World.

Yeah, and then everyone just started doing flips. I'm like, you gotta watch this because they're going to start flying. Yeah, the tripoline stuff. I mean, you can't see it, but it's a triple trick. No, it's great.

It's I love that. It was so fun. It starts to raise that level of oh, we're not just in reality here, but it's great. I love that. I love that whole dance.

They're so well choreographed and well shot and welled. How they get all that stuff to match so well is amazing to me. But that scene especially, and it's not as difficult in the Ray Charles scene with the people outside, but it's the same kind of idea where they're cutting back and forth between them plane and the people dancing outside. Even more so are the car chases. The car chase and that first one in the mall.

This is happening, So we go from him getting out of jail to the orphanage. From the orphanage that they go straight to the church, and I'm sure there's scenes that were removed or cut out. I know they are, and then the mall chase. They're not even back home yet. It's literally like a it has so many driving things.

So he's immediately recognized what do they call it, skamod's yeah, the database. I bet those cops have got smuts smuts State County Municipal Offender Data system. And then it's immediately like, oh, we're on the We're on the move into a mall and taking up the people in that mall. I mean, I know they're oh, there's just people in there. Yeah, some people.

That initial crash through the toys r us is pretty that somebody gets hit a little bit at least. Yeah, there's no way. I believe it was an empty mall that was like really going to be destroyed or something, but they they redressed it to look like it was a yeah, an operating mall. And again though, the continuity, and they're driving and be like, oh Peer one Imports, and then you see a shot of them driving past Peer one Imports, and it's just amazing. I love the music in that scene.

I love the way it's shot and edited. It's just great. The continuity. Yeah, like, oh Peer one Imports, we're next to Peer one Imports now. And they mentioned a Burger place.

They talk about the cars, the new Olds mobiles are in early all this stuff, good everything, and just total destruction. And it's fun to watch places get destroyed like that when it's in movies, like it's a superhero movie and that destroyed the whole town boom. But what it's let's drive through a mall totally because those are like realistic and that's what like the first movie, I'm like, all these people are dying in these buildings for this superhero movie. This is awful. I don't I don't like movies like that.

But when it's just let's end, you can see the people jumping out of the way like in the mall. It's fine, it's fine. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got hurt. Yeah, they're totally chill.

It's fine. Oh. Also, what the is that at the end? No, that's at the beginning where they jump over the bridge where it's opening. That's right after he picks him up.

Because yeah, Jake played by John Belushi is upset that he got picked up in a cop car. Cop car right, a little unrealistic again, but that's okay. Suspend disbelief a little bit and enjoy the gag there. They've got a magical car that car less than the whole movie. And then it's just in that one scene at the end, it just falls apar.

I love that one. It pops Everything just pops out. Yeah, it's awesome. Doors pop off, everything falls off. There's little just like pieces that come off.

It's beautiful. No, I love the all scene. Oh so funny. Oh, John Candy looks so scary. I don't know when I realized because I'm sure the first time I saw it, which would have been on TV, you know, within a year or two after it had played in the theaters, I might not even know who he was at the time.

He looks very strange. It's just because he's blonde, yeah, and his hair is longer than you usually see it, Yeah, long and like very put together, and you don't usually see him as a bad guy. I mean, he's kind of a bad guy in this, Yeah, because the Elwin Brothers, the Blues Brothers or the Yeah, even though they're lawbreakers and they're maybe not good people, there's something that's childlike about them. Yeah, but they're also doing it for a good cause. It's an orphanage, trying to save an orphanage for Pete's sake.

Guys. Yeah, speaking of bad guys the Nazis movie, and they get treated with the respect that Nazis deserve deserved, no, literally, because they can run off. Everyone's like yelling out of screen, Adam flipping a wall, and then they're just doing any good. You know. That's not how you don't yell at Nazis.

You try and run them over, run them all. You run Nazis over. That's the solution to prous I hate Illis Nazis. Yeah, so we've got not only their quest, but now we have a bunch of adversaries. Yeah, we've got the cops, We've got Carry Fisher, Carrie Fisher, the Nazis, and the good old boys.

Yeah, from their stinted Bob's Country Bunker. That seems funny too. They sing their like own music at first, and they're like, no, they they're sing that they kind of play at the beginning of their shows, and yeah, that's why they find out very quickly. While why the chicken wire is there? Yeah, which apparently, whether you're good or bad, it's because the wire is there.

So because once it got to the like, oh they like this music, there's still chucking glass bottles at them. That's what you do, good or bad, you throw bottles. Of course, you throw bottles at your favorite but I love that. Another great scene and then when they're singing the love song and everyone's cuddling, and then cut to that one guy who's just like man literally crying in his beer as they say, poor dude. And then the leader of the country band is our friend from Signs of the Lambs, Charles napier and we've got a little chase scene.

They're not as convoluted or crazy as the other ones. Oh but isn't that what the cops go into the cops get involved again. No, that they don't go into the truck. That's at the end. They hit the trailer though, they hit the trailer, take off the trailer, and then pull their guns on the Rednecks.

Yeah, who are also racist, by the way, Oh, anti Semitic at least. Oh well, there you go. See. I think the Blues Brothers are fighting the good fight against big a. Yeah, yeah, racism, cops, cops, dude.

That one scene, where is it where they cut to John Candy and there's the pig cop statue on his dead I think it's a piggy bank. Actually silly, just a little you know, gag there that I love. Yeah, that was one of the pictures, and the novelization has a bunch of you know, eight pages of pictures or whatever. And I always remember seeing that picture before I ever saw the movie and just laughing at it. Yeah, it's perfect, it's perfect.

A cab and then they're also being chased by carry Fisher, who is shake Jake jilted left at the altar another movie trope, or how could you leave Carrie Fisher at the What the hell? He's a heel? He is a heel. Elwood's the innocent and Jake is kind of the heel. But I grew up and die.

She'd like she finally gets like up to them, and he like what, takes off his glasses. He uses his masculine wiles, I guess to get out of it the first time his glasses come off, and then he kind of just pushes her in the mud and they leave. Kind kind of does I mean he does? That's one of the funny things about the film is that they never take their sunglasses off. But there is one of the extra scenes in the longer version, and I believe this was the one that was shown on TV.

They actually show Elwood go to his job. He's not wearing his sunglasses then, which I believe is why they probably cut it out of the theatric version because you don't you don't want to see that yet, you don't want to see them without their sunglasses. That's part of their mystique, yeah, which they mentioned at the end with that famous line that they say when they're getting ready to head back to Chicago. One hundred and six miles. Goggle.

We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it. We mentioned Twiggy and you're like, I think you had been scrolling to IMDb. Yeah, Twiggy kind of, but Tweggy, I don't think I've ever seen her with long hair like that, which is kind of.

She was very famous for her her short her short hair and all of her whole asthetic. But I was like twiggies in the kind of fun. Why it's Twiggy. I don't know why. I don't know what the relationship is with the people involved in the film.

Like, Okay, Carrie Fisher made sense. Yeah, Carrie Fisher makes sense. That Frank Oz makes sense, and Steven Spielberg makes sense. Yeah, he said that. You know, the other cameos are either music related or they're friends of John Landis, are a part of that Saturday Live thing she hosted Sarah Live.

She was friends with. I think her and dan Ackroyd dated. Uh, yeah, a lot of it makes sense. Twiggy, I don't know what the connection is. Yeah, I would I would like to look into that because just like, well, I know Twiggy because of like fashion stuff, So it was just like, what why is twigt this?

But I get it was kind of sad that she went to the their little meetup and then he go he didn't get to go, no tweaky, So that always kind of makes me laugh. At the end, it's like she actually went, yeah, she went, he missed his chance. And he charges her ninety five dollars for gas or ninety four, and she gives them ninety five. There you he's been a big tank in that little car because gas was probably fifty cents a gallon back Oh my god, yeah, maybe a dollar, maybe a dollar in nineteen eighty the end where all of the cops, troopers, et cetera. Are all just making noises as they fallow swat team they like going up the building, and it's just the one guy and it's just him doing it, and then they cut to the wide shot and then you just get all of them.

That's comedy timing right there. Hell yeah, perfect, perfect. That whole extended chase scene at the end is just brilliantly awesome shot and edited and choreographed, and the stunts are amazing. And I don't know how many cars they destroyed, but oh so it looked like so many. And then the whole like the nazis going flying and then like confessing their love or whatever, and it's sinking into the ground.

It's just funny how high up in the air they are. It goes so high they go, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever that they're high up in the air. After that, it's all jump off the bridge under construction or overpass, I guess, actually, yeah, and they go flying and then it's just up in the air like would be so high up. Anybody that actually wants like details and stuff, go listen to the Projection Boosts podcast on the Blues Brothers and John Landis gets into all of that. He's interviewed for that episode and they had to make sure that it would actually float down that way and you know, not flip and fly into the city or whatever.

Yeah. Yeah, and then it just lands in the middle of the street and the other and then car squashes it. And just the little gags too, where it cuts to what's his face put in the poster up and it's upside down. Yeah, I'm sorry of it. That's so funny.

It's awful about and he shoots at the little kid and yeah, the little kid he just streets good lord, or like when they cut to the Nazis and he's painting the like golden, the golden. Yeah, and he just popped up on something else. We're flipping through the channels, yesterda Hey, it's the Illinois Nazi. Yeah, well it was a biodome. Yeah, it was something.

And then speaking of that, there was the other guy in the background, which was that raising Arizona that he's in. He's in Fargo. He finds the disgruntled car car buyer in Fargo that William H. Macy has put the True Coat on his car without his permission. See, they install that true code at the factory.

There's nothing we can do, but I'll talk to my boss. These guys here, these guys, it's always the same. It's always war. Yeah, he was in that, and he was in something else. We were watching the other as an older person, I can't remember what.

I can't remember either murder She wrote, no, no, it was it was another movie or so that was a different person. We've seen a lot of people in the past few days there's a lot of this happens. This is It's part of what's been going on in my head. It's like I need to cut back on trying to place who everybody is and I don't know anymore. Yeah, you said you had a Caddyshack tie in earlier.

I've told this story on a number of different podcasts on the but have I heard it In the Chasing Chevy Chase podcast when we talk about Caddy Shack, I mentioned this, and I've probably mentioned it numerous times when I talk about the Blues Brothers on here. Yeah, that was the big choice of the summer of nineteen eighty for me and your aunt Julie. It was between Caddyshack and this as our first rated our movies to go see, and we picked Caddy Shack and we should have picked this. Yeah. Part of the reason is it would have been a little less uncomfortable watching this with Nana in the theater because it's rated R.

I'm glad it's righted R because if they had edited it for PG, it would have meant cutting out the language and really, yeah, the language is funny. That scene with the penguin when he's cassing a lot the TV edit is awful because it's eighty rd with stupid you know, non cuss words. There's only a couple of other swear words in the movie. There's no nudity, there's no yea sex really maybe some innu window here and there. Alcohol and not even alcohol, it's just there cursing.

It's a very innocent, childlike cartoony action comedy. Well we get to curse, but I'm glad that it's not. They didn't cut some of those out to get a PG rating, to get a bigger box office, because a lot more people would have been able to see it if it had been PG. They got a big box office because the stuff that is in there, it's funny, takes it adult enough to like, Okay, this is funny. Yeah, that's funny.

You know. That would have gone over. I think much better with Ranana than Cause Skettish. That's pretty raunchy. Yeah, yeah, much more so than this out of all the movies we've watched.

Definitely not for Caddy Shore, but compared to this one, Yes, for a RATEDAR movie, it's pretty tame, to be honest, and a whole heck of a lot of fun. It depends on what I've seen most recently, but I think between this and Young Frankenstein, they're my top two favorite comedies of all time. I love You Frankenstein. I could watch either one. If I catch it on TV or whatever, I'll stop and watch it.

That's why you've seen bits and pieces of this because when it plays and I'll sit there and watch it until you guys come home and make me change it. Oh yeah, Young Frankenstein is always I like that movie. It's another classic that doesn't get old. No. Yeah, well, anything else about The Blues Brothers I think, I mean, we could just like dissect the whole movie, but I think that's it.

Once they get finally get to the concert, and I mean I enjoy the music and the concert footage as well a lot, but that's like the end. We get back into it right after that with the extended them. Yeah, I still am curious those to that fade out. Yeah, they're going in the music playing and then it fades out and it's now light out, which is fine for it's just an odd transition that fade happens a few times in the movie actually, and it's it's just kind of a weird transition. I think that's where deleted scenes are or something.

Yeah, it's one of my all time favorites and it was very fun to watch. I don't know how many times I've watched it over the last few years, but it's a lot. And now you've finally watched it. Yeah, and even without Rubber Biscuit, it was enjoyable. Yes, very The other day I had a Rico biscuit.

A Rico biscuit is the kind of a biscuit that's the bost of bounce back off the wall into your mouth. They don't bounce back, you go hungry. Any other movies or anything you want to mention before we I have to look at our list again. What we watched? Leave?

Oh. I finally watched Footloose the first time, like full fully, I'd only ever seen the last scene. We watched Footloose because Yorky Flatliners was on Yeah, Flatliners was on you. And I finally watched The Dead Zone The Ice is Gonna Break. Yeah, sad, sad, christ Sad melancholy, Christopher walking.

We watched Swiss Army Man as a family. Somebody said something about watching something weird and I'm like, well, we still haven't watched Swiss Army Man. It's weird but also very sad. Yeah. When we were watching that, I was like, watch.

Another movie we watched was Self Reliance. I was like, kind of similar, Yeah, sad man, and it took that turn that we feared was happening in Self Reliance, which didn't. Yeah. I finally watched The Exorcist three. Yes, we watched Johnny Darko, which I really liked.

Johnny dark Oh yeah, I really liked that movie. It's an interesting one. It's an odd yeah, because I'd always like, I've seen pictures of Frank before, like I knew he was like the main thing, I guess, But then it was like, actually it's a wormhole, and actually there's all of this other stuff, and I was just really, yeah, what do we watch? I always kind of forget about the not twist, but the angle of that film. Then I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, now I get why this is all happening.

Yeah, and baby Jennam alone was in that. Watched all the recent Planet of the Apes films. Yeah, those were good. I really liked those movies, especially the third one. The third one was fun.

Watched All That Jazz, which Lamb Harold and Maud. Oh. I loved that reference to that. When we're watching Blues Brothers when they got pulled over, I was like, they gotta hear Old mod this and You're like it's better, and I was like, oh god, oh man, I love that that scene in her Old and Maud it's a motorcycle copy always adjusting his pants. That's it.

Yeah. I just love that she takes everyone's cars. Yeah, she's a street funeral car. I love her. What else?

Yeah, you mentioned Lamb. That was a good movie that was sad. I loved that little. I remember when that movie came out and I just like saw the trailer and everyone was like, either, oh my god, she's so cute, oh my god, it's a freak, and I don't like it, and I was like, what's cute? Normal, She's Lamb, mitchmash Baby, you guys gotta be nice to her.

That movie was depressing, but I liked it mostly because cute baby Lamb. Child have a name? Was it? Yeah, something like that Ada or Ada however they pronounced it something. And then we also watched Are Either God It's Me Margaret, which is actually really cute.

This was the other movie in which Mark and Clio saw actor Gary Houston the true out guy. These guys here, these guys. Because I don't think I ever read that or like you did. But that was a good like it's just an enjoyable little movie, a little coming of age film. Yeah.

For some reason, it kept making me think of The Holdovers. I don't know what it was. I guess maybe just the time period, time period and like kind of aesthetic of it. Yeah, and The Holdovers reminds me of Rushmore. Mmmm, I think I said when we were watching it.

Also because Cat Stephens song plays in it, like the same one. I'm pretty sure that's in. I think it's so Rushmore. I think you're right. Yeah, that was a good movie.

Yeah, that was a really good We watched good movies this time. We did a while back. We watched because you mentioned on the back to School episode the Hunger Games prequel, which, oh yeah, and I'm almost done with that book, which is also really good, having a fun time with it. It's quite different from the book from when I've read so far, but it's still like holds Up as a pretty good movie. It was fun to watch already.

Anything else, Oh, we watched thirteen going on thirty and I saw a post the other day where it was like, huh, there have been two movies where Mark Ruffalo falls in love with a girl who's in a woman's body but has a girl brain and it's thirteen going on thirty and four things. Yeah, I think I saw something similar to that after the opposite movies, and I was just like, oh my gosh. Hm. I was like, how do I react to this? Yeah?

Why is this? Happened twice? But that was a good movie too, and not so funny that it was booth Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, weird, very strange. I think that's it alrighty okay, well, sort of another back to school situation here, because yeah, back on Tuesday, Yeah, spring break?

Oh do I do have Monday off? Yes? Yeah, that's good. Thank God can help me cut down more branches on Monday. Oh okay, okay, Cleil has been helping me limb a tree in our front yard and yeah, it's been a whole lot of fun.

And I haven't gotten killed yet. Ye, Dad hasn't been killed, or he'll turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger. Halfway through I carried the dog command. That was awful. I might have to cut that Arnold already.

Well, I reenacted a little scene from Commando with one of the larger larger If you've seen Commando, you know what I'm talking about. All right, Well, thanks for joining me, kiddo, and thanks everybody for listening and keeping in true fashion with repeating clips from that back to School episode.
