<v Speaker 1>magic of eighties television. We are launching into the pilot of.

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Alf I wanted this.

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>So bad, it wasn't it. I mean, after Small Wonder,

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>this was sort of a natural thing to do next.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>This basically was Small Wonder with an alien. It was

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Small Wonder, but furier, you know what I mean?

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, instead of right, girl, you gotta.

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, I mean, you know, I'm in love it

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>here for that, don't need to say anymore. Weird scientist

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>dad and like wife with weird hair and teenage and

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>that was they just threw in a sister instead of

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>just the kid, just Ji or whatever.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>There's a weird neighbor, neighbor. There's a formula. There was

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>definitely a formula.

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 2>There is a formula to the right to the to

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the alien robot shows. You just watched one, watched them all,

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, But.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>This was like, yeah, does it matter if it's believable.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Heck no, we can suspend displeat for a while. An

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>alien God, No, it doesn't.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Nothing matters when you don't have a show about a

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>furry alien didn't.

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Make me feel better about Full House because the far

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>fetched things we think about Full House don't see so

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>far fetched anymore.

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Nothing, nothing compared to this, But god, I love this show.

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>When I was a kid, I was obsessed with ALF.

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I had a stuffed alf. Oh you did? That was

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the study again? Yeah? That was your jam. It was

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>my jam. I I love a funny Muppet. It's true.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 1>It is very muppet like. It's very muppet like. Yeah,

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>it's uh yeah, see I was not, I was. I

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>hate Actually, I think it.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Says something about the Children's Television Workshop there, because that

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>has to do with with Jim Henson's company. They owned

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the rights to certain things. So I just or if

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if it was one of the pup teers

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 2>or I don't know something, but I think I saw

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>that in the credits. Oh so yeah, So somehow I

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>would assume it would be attached to some sort of Henson.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I would think. So, I mean, that's just like a

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>different branch or a different like a cousin.

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's right, there were a lot of copycats, but

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>but specifically I wonder.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>If that was I'll have to look into that.

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>As that'll be your next deep dive and education Henson's biography.

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.399
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, I'm I'm in it, like I am muppetified.

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that is my new word anyway. And I shouldn't

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>admit this publicly, but I will because we're doing a

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>minisod about it.

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>But I broadcasting to people.

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm just I'm going to get a lot of

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>outrage again after the Golden because I never watched No.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I did watch OFF, but I didn't like my brothers

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>watched alf I did not like, Like I was terrified

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of alf Et, Like freaked me out.

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>In that one scene where Gerty shrieks when she when

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 2>when she finds Et in the closet and then eats

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>extends and his eyes get big. That did freak me

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>out a little bit.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like it. But it's just the rest.

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Of the time, I was like, I just didn't like

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>buggy eyes on things.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Buggy, the buggy eyes are a little creepy. I

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I just I don't. I don't like the

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>animatronic things that chuck e cheese like, I didn't like

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>any of those, Like the characters at Disneyland, like, I

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't like any ofthing. Wow, you're real kill joy. I

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>was not a fun child. I hate me. I would

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>tolerate them, but it's not so. I was not like

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a huge fan of ALF. And that said, I I

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed watching this pilot. So let's get into and okay,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>let's do it. Let's discuss This pilot originally aired September

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty second, nineteen eighty six, So.

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that but almost the same day as Full House.

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Full House pilot aired September twenty second, nineteen eighty seven,

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>so exactly one year apart, and it's both involving Tanner families.

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>WHOA. I didn't even think about that, that's yes.

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>My mind was like, oh my god, what what? And

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>they were on different networks too, NBC and ABC, so

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like wow, wow, not even like they were like

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>sharing I don't know, ideas and writers or whatever, like no,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just different networks. Yeah, just different network. Blew my mind. So.

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Howard Storm directed this episode of ALF, and later in

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen nineties became a prominent force behind the TGIF programming.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>He directed three episodes of Full House in season one,

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Daddy's Home, The Big Three to Zero, and half a

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>love story. Oh and unfortunately we lost him this earlier

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>this year, so that's unfortunate. But very good he did.

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>He did great. He's very sitcom legend. He did fantastic.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 1>What do we want to do? Some facts?

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Do we want to I'm seeing the little notes here

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>because if you watch alf alf is a little he's like, uh,

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a little rough around the edges. Well, it's like Rodney

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Dangerfield in a small furry suit. That's exactly who he is.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>What he is, that's exactly figure out. I'm like, who

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>does he sell?

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Is Rodney Dangerfield as an alien?

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Similar nose, too strange, But I like they wanted him

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 2>to be edgy, but apparently in this in this episode,

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>he got a little too edgy. Oh yeah, they I

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 2>guess with the show's humor. Hence the cat eating jokes.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh he wants to eat the cat.

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can take that any way you want it.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm looking at.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>The thing it says, hence the cat eating jokes, get it, that's.

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>The and I didn't take it that way. I just

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>took it either. He was going to be upset. One

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>of our.

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Producers did someone's mind's in the gutter, But oh god.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>But after a child put a cat in the microwave, uh,

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>NBC censors decided to put a kibosh on the animal

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>consuming Wow that actually remember that though?

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember Alf always wanted to eat the cat. Yeah,

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it's that's okay, it's very but the family had a cat,

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>so he's like chasing the cat through the living room.

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Let we say, that's what they said. They caught him.

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 3>But apparently some kid thought you could some actual kid

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 3>thought you could put a cat in migra.

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Also said that Alf wasn't allowed to drink because in

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>this pilot he's drinking beers with a kid and the same.

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a little strict, but whatever. Yeah, and

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the creator was like, Alf is two hundred and eighty

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 2>five years old, but they didn't want alf to be

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>a bad role model.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>So after the kid put a cat in the microwave.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I see there. I see their point. You know, a

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of team sensors at this.

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>But if they adn't but if he's just chasing a

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>cat around, I mean, unless they put a cat, the

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>cat in the microwave on the show, and then some

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>kid did that. If some kid just randomly was like,

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>ah see, if we can do then that's on.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Him and on him, that's on him, right, But yeah,

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't blame mouth. I'd like to.

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I think alf Is has been uh maligned in this

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>entire thing. I think he's I think he's been just

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 2>really unfairly judged.

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>For his for his uh well, he's an alien, so yeah,

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>he's an alien alien. So it's okay, you know, but

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the show has a certain responsibility to the children who

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>are what I guess they didn't know right away that

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>this was going to hit so well with with kids.

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Like the kids were like, oh, we love this show,

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and so then they're like, okay, take out the beer,

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>take out the cat eating. Like now we got to

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>censor ourselves. So it's got all the fun for me.

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>So anyways, So, well, we can go through the cast.

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I say, we just get to the top moment. Let's

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the top moments. Let's start with our

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>first top moment, Willie Tanner and his wife Kate.

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hold on, I'm gonna say this and then I'm

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna leave.

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Willie Tanner Max.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, talks like Christopher Walkin's cousin like doesn't have

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:46.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have the same uh strange like beats in between words,

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>but has the exact same tonal quality he does as

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Christopher walking he does, and he kind.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Of looks like he's got that like a like, I

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know he's the style, yeah, but it's I.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't know where the two of them are from, but

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it's a very specific accent or whatever it is.

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Specific accent and the way they had him styled with

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>those glasses and the tan out. I'm just like, I

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, man, I've seen true crime shows where like

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that is the pedophile like that is, yes, exactly, so

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 1>I guess he was. He.

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's I mean he's done Chekhov plays, he's done.

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's quite an accomplished film actor. He was

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>on Friends.

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>He was on Friends. Yeah, so's he's very well accomplished.

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>This is not knock against the actor. The actor's fantastic,

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>but the styling choices and the accent, those were choices.

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Those it's an accent. I think that's how he speaks.

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>That's just how he speaks. I think that's how he speaks.

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, then he should be offended.

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a Max Wright, it's a straight like

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the tone of his voice is an interesting Yeah, it

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>really is.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>It really is. Anyway, back to the alien. So back

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to this top moment. So the parents are in the

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>garage with their children when a space craft crash lands

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>into the roof, in which I really want to know

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>how long it took to film this scene with the

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>special effects which were pretty basic back then, with flashy

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>lights and stuff, and the it's it was shot well

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>for what they had to work with back in.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean I believed it, I'll tell you that much.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I was one hundred percent like is this a location shoot? Yeah?

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>So this is incredible.

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>This is what makes you believe in area fifty one,

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>So realistic, so realistic. Yeah. So they bring the unconscious

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>alien inside the house. Why conscious creature in my house?

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>But I guess. But he's like, like, do this on

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the driveway or the lawn or even just the garage.

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's you know, you don't want people, as

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 2>they said, you don't want people crying and looking at

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 2>you talking to your That's true.

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>That nosy neighbor, she would definitely, I mean she does

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>see him later. So yeah, okay, so they're protecting the privacy,

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>got it. So the family is shocked to discover that

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:18.199
<v Speaker 1>this alien can speak perfect English, me too, any Immediately,

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Alf immediately asks them to fix his ship so he

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>can leave, and they have this weird like fish eye

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>lens moment. Oh eighties, loved the fish eye. A year

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>later we did art pilot creepy.

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Was it a new technology, the fish eye lens that

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>everyone wanted to use?

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean the director is like waiting to

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>see this. Ye, so creepy. But yeah, he's like he's

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>very human like for an alien, Like he's fully formed,

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>he's sarcastic, he's got the connect time comedy. You know,

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I want to go to his planet. Everyone must be hilarious.

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>And he talks like Rodney your Field like this, it's Christopher.

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a Christopher walking meets Rodney Dangerfield in a small

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 2>furry suit.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>This this, this changes how I feel about the entire

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>series of.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Because you not love it? How could you not love it?

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Now? So that the alien introduces himself as Gordon some

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.079
<v Speaker 1>way strange.

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 2>What I didn't know Gordon was a popular name on

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 2>other planets. Yeah, that seems he looks like a Gordon.

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>He kind of does. Gordon fits. Gordon definitely fits. I

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't know they had last names. They have surnames on

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>are you going to tell one other planets? Yeah, that's true.

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>They have multiple Gordons, Gordon's it's a planet, okay. And

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't just have numbers. They're not just identified by

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.319
<v Speaker 1>their number in barcode that's tattooed onto their bodies. I

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Wow, I have a different idea.

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>They do to them after they get captured and tattoo

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>them with number barcodes so that they don't yeah, no,

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that we're not there.

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>They banned them like bald eagles, right exactly, so we

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>got to keep track of them.

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, mister miss shum Way. Gordon a k A.

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Alf So yes. Gordon at aka Alf is a survivor

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>from the planet Melmac, which we find out has exploded,

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and he reveals a piece of debris from his home

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>planet that is still lodged in his fur, and he states,

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>this was my street. It's like you can't even see it.

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like a sand Props didn't have the budget for

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>after that scene.

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>The hilarious part was that it was this is my street,

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 2>and it's just it's like a pebble.

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.079
<v Speaker 1>It's just a tiny, little, tiny little rubble. That's it.

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>So the family nicknames him Alf a l F, which

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is short for alien life form, which.

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 2>The dad so wonderfully explains in a very clear and

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>precise manner.

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>He does, Yes, it's a little the audience exposition for

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 1>the audience. Yes, yeah. So Alf asks them to fix

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>his spaceship, and he asks for a snack, and then

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>he horror if he's the family by revealing that his

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>species eats cats, and since the Tanners have a pet

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>cat named Lucky, Kate forbids this and offers him a

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>can of dented cat food instead, which Alf accepts, noting

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that he can use the rouffige and he eats it

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>like off stage you hear the little crunch, crunch, crunch,

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>so that that should do it. And then the next morning,

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Kate why wakes up to find Alf in bed with her?

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Where did he sleep? Like? I need to? I have

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>so many quite well? What the dad went up to

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>go shower? So did Alf sneak in or did he

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>sleep between them like a child? I probably snuck in there.

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>He snuck in there. The thing is is that he always.

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Is kind of like making weird comments to Kate. Yeah yeah,

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>if I was Kate, I would be very horned, you know, Yes.

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I don't. Kate is very tolerant, That's all I

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta say.

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the way that these people have reacted to

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 2>an alien crash landing into their house is surprisingly subdued.

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>They're very chill. You know, their garages.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 2>They were like, oh my god, an alien? So what's

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 2>your name, sir? You know, like you yeah, really escalated quickly.

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>They need to call Danny Tanner's construction company to come

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>fix the garage and a renovation.

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 2>And twenty four can turn it into another planet.

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go. Uh So Alf runs into the

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>bathroom where Willie is getting ready. Will He warns him

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to stay away from the windows because of their nosy neighbor.

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Missus acmonic acmonic. There we go. That's that's not it

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't roll off the tongue like gibbler. You know, I

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>don't love that name. Acmonic, A comonic acmonic. I prefer

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a comonic. I prefer gibbler. But I'm I'm not asking

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Kimmy to change your name. So Alf immediately disobeys this

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>command and he is spotted by the nosy neighbor.

0:15:58.840 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>In one of the next scenes, Alf and Brian share

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a beer. Yeah, this was that.

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I could see where the sensors were, Like, I don't

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>think we can do that.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>How did that pass the rewrites to get to the

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>show night? Like, how do you think he's six years old?

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, it's fine.

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of things that sound funny on paper,

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>and then you watch them on their feet, and you

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 2>got that is not landing the way that I hoped.

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know this, this would be one of them.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think they were going for a pretty

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 2>edgy version.

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Well that's fine, give him a beer. What doesn't know?

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, doesn't Elliott get drunk with Et?

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>But no, Et drinks and Elliott feels it.

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's the distinction. There's the distinction.

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>So maybe if we could have done it that way,

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it might have been.

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>A little different. Now, they should have been taking notes

0:16:53.880 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>when they watched ET. So Kate naturally is upset and

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.120
<v Speaker 1>says that he can never drink with her young son

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>ever again. So somebody's at least doing the parenting. In

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 1>this one, Willie tries to fix the spaceship, and later

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a man from the Alien Task Force arrives at the door,

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 1>having received an anonymous tip that the Tanners are harboring

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 1>a space creature.

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 2>So, I mean, I never seen the military knock like

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:31.479
<v Speaker 2>that on a door, you know what I mean? If

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 2>they think you're harboring something, they're usually they don't send

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 2>the guy in the suit.

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And this news traveled fast too, Like how do they

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 1>find I mean, maybe it was a neighbor, but like.

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 2>The missochmonic, uh is she works for the government, and

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 2>that's why she's so nosy, right, She's a spy. So

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 2>she was like, hey, they've gotten an alien.

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 1>They I saw an alien. It's there, go get them. Okay,

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I didn't know that they had an Alien

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Task Force either. That's an excellent use of recent courses.

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So okay. Uh. So Kate lies to this man to

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>protect Alf, and she sends the officer away, solidifying the

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>family's decision to keep Alf hidden, not concerned at all

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that the you know, they got to put the garage

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 1>back together. This guy is just destructive, drinking beer with

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>underage miners. Like, it doesn't matter. We're gonna keep him well.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the alternative was pretty grim. You know, they

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about all the tests they're gonna do on him.

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>And all of a sudden, yeah, that's true.

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>And he was standing there. If they would have heard

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 2>it and he wasn't standing there, they might have been like,

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, man taken.

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 1>But he was standing there, and I think they felt

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>bad and they were like, oh, I guess you're not terrible.

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 1>They're like, Okay, you're fine, You're fine. I guess he's

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>he's at least funny. I mean, he's you're funny. We'll

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:52.239
<v Speaker 1>keep you, you know.

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>And how long can it take to put his patient

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 2>back together?

0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>We've got multiple seasons.

0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I love will He comes in and he goes, I

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:06.200
<v Speaker 2>can't fix it. I don't have the parts. Well, obviously, Willie,

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 2>it's a spacecraft.

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Gotta go down to home depot.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Billy boy, what do you mean you don't have the parts?

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>They probably don't even exist. I'm still trying to figure

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.400
<v Speaker 1>out what his job like what so he's transmitted these

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 1>things into space? Like, what what is the Is this

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:23.439
<v Speaker 1>just a hobby?

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's a he's a technology.

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Something he's a technology.

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like the small wonder. Remember, oh ye

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 2>works at the place, and then he's like, I had

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a great idea, what right?

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And he does things at home? Okay.

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 2>It's so I think it's kind of that vibe where

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 2>like Willy, I don't know where he works or what

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 2>he does. I'm sure they'll announce that at some point

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 2>with great exposition. But you know, I think that these

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 2>are this is like and that was the thing. Like

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>in the eighties, you people had those CB radios to

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 2>like talk to people because the internet didn't exist, and

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you can talk to people all over the world on.

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>A CD radio.

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 2>That's true, So you know, it was a very popular

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 2>kind of nerdy techie thing to do to communicate with

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 2>people in other in very very far away places. So

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:13.879
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's the buye is that okay?

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, and again this is nineteen eighty six, so they

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't they weren't concerned about making things believable. They just

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 1>assumed the audience would buy into this show whatever about

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 1>an alien.

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Nothing believable needs to happen. I will comment on it

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>because it's ridiculous, But anything goes once you've got a

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 2>puppet involved anything, anything goes.

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 1>The more ridiculous, the better it is. Yes, yeah, that's

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the eighties way I I.

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Felt, though the cat harassment continued on through the show. Yeah,

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 2>it's something I remember very specifically that he was he

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 2>always was going after the.

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Cat Zoey, so he did. He doesn't curb that.

0:20:55.160 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 3>But I wonder if maybe they maybe maybe he actually

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.160
<v Speaker 3>finally gets the cat and put it in the microwave

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 3>or something like, and then somebody stops him at the

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 3>last minute, and that was the thing. Then they stopped

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 3>the cats and they but I always but throughout the show,

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know how long the show went on, but.

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it's it's definitely to watch.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>More alf and see if if it's like you know

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>what it is. It's like the Berenstein Berenstain Bears kind

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>of thing. It's a Mandola effect, Mendela effect, Mendela effect.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Not Medella effecta effect. Yeah, yeah, maybe that's it.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I remember the cat eating but apparently NBC got rid

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>of it. In another timeline.

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.920
<v Speaker 1>There there was there they should there's a different bit.

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what, but there's a different bit and

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>personality trait. They could have given him without mutilating cats.

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, like they could have had him loved

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>mutilating the cat. He's just gonna cat. He's gonna pop

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it in his mouth like a tin attack. It's swallow

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 1>it whole like a snake's possibly.

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen an alien eat a cat.

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they do it it. Why was

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 1>this the thing in the eighties? Why would like small

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:09.879
<v Speaker 1>wonder alf et? Like, what's the obsession with alien like things?

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Like this is just.

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Weird particular aliens, except now we know they're real, but

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 2>no one really cares because the rest of the world

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 2>is on fire, you know what I mean?

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 1>We got bigger problems like ALF. Remember guys, remember Alf?

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 2>That thing was real and everyone be like, yeah, great,

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>what are we.

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Doing about gas prices? Right? Yeah? Exactly? So, yeah, I

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 1>want to see a reboot of ALF. You know, my god,

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:37.960
<v Speaker 1>can you imagine? I would a reboot of ALF?

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 2>But do them just a movie because I don't think

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>enough people are going to like tune in to see

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:41.919
<v Speaker 2>like a whole series.

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Do a movie reboot of ALF, but really.

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Make it how how ALF was supposed to be?

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean, like, really go edgy with

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it since it's not going to be on a network,

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 2>so it's like HBO, yeah yeah, or just go for

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the go you know, really just make him.

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Make him ted basically the bear.

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you know what I mean the inappropriate like

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 2>just go.

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.679
<v Speaker 1>For it, just go for it, lean into it. Why

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 1>not into it? Six left and right?

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean we don't see anything disturbing, don't worry,

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:12.160
<v Speaker 2>but like.

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and apparently the set was really like tumultuous, Like well,

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 1>first of all, filming with this puppet, like.

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Well have you ever have you ever met an alien?

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 2>They're incredibly temperamental.

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:30.199
<v Speaker 1>The puppet, like the puppeteering. Puppeteering has to raise the

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>stage so the puppeteer could be below and still that's

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and they do Sesame Street and all that.

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they they're puppeteering. I have watched it, and it

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:47.440
<v Speaker 2>is it's a nightmare to do and to get it right.

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It's fun to do on stage or what if it's not,

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, but like to get it exactly in the

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>right thing whatever. And one person's doing one hand and

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 2>then the other person's doing the hand and the mouth,

0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 2>so like these two hands are different people but have

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:01.879
<v Speaker 2>to communicate together, and it's hard.

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>That's hard. It's super hard. We thought it was hard.

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>They would basically hide him behind stuff. Was kind of

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 2>how they they did it.

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can see the hand. You see the the hand,

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the gloved hand in one of the shots. You can

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 1>see it in the well. I don't remember which to see.

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's okay, that's okay. We don't want to

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>ruin the movie magic here, but yeah, that's uh. Yeah,

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>that sounds worse than it's hard. It is.

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 2>It's very time consuming and and annoying.

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:31.439
<v Speaker 1>So I feel for the actors. I felt the actors

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that had to work. It's hard working with a puppet,

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I imagine. I don't I've never worked with the puppets,

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know, but yeah.

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:39.640
<v Speaker 2>It sounds well if you're not one that likes them,

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 2>I would say, I'm feeling I feel like I feel

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 2>like Willy was actually not as fond of the puppet

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 2>as this. Well, actually he's not very fond of Elf.

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 2>He's not showing the drives of nuts.

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:55.159
<v Speaker 1>They're like nemes. That's a real life thing. Okay, So

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I could play Willy in my next life or in

0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the reboot.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Will because don't be like I don't like this thing.

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I like this thing. I'm where are you annoying? Right? Right? Yeah? Okay, okay, good,

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I got my next project. Good.

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Well you're Willy in the reboot okay.

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And you can play Alf. So there we go. Dreams

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 1>dream come true.

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 2>These days though we can use force perspective. But the

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.439
<v Speaker 2>last scene was it kind of kind of tugged up

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 2>my little heart strings.

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, yes, so I'll do you want to go?

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 1>You go? This is your uh that's this.

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Is my get out of my lege delineated on what

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>we do you read things I screw around exactly.

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So alf sneaks into the garage that night and uses

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Willy's radio to broadcast a message into space calling for

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>any other survivors from Melmac. He invites them to come

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to Earth, adding that you can introduce them to his

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 1>new friends and that they can eat the Tanner's cat.

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh you yeah. The from a human perspective, like he's

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>probably going to be lonely, he's gonna miss his friends

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>from Yeah, it did humanize this strange it did.

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 2>It made it made him a little, It made him like, oh,

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>man can get rid of can't turn him over the

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 2>army for poking and broad in now.

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.479
<v Speaker 1>He is exactly I mean, and he likes this family.

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>He does like in his family, and they have a cat,

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:28.120
<v Speaker 1>like really between the beer and the cat, why would

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 1>he leave? Why would you leave?

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 2>And really is going to fix the spaceship eventually once

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>he finds the parts, once he once he located in

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the parts, Yeah, and then we.

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Can that'll be handled. Yeah. Why I have to say Kate.

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 2>In this is rocking a very early version of the

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Kate Goslin hairdoo.

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>It feels like it's short.

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 2>It's it's short, but it's kind of like like spiked

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>up on the top in the front.

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a little bit of that. I liked it. She

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.600
