Speaker 1: On the beck Del Cast. The questions asked if movies

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: we started this podcast many moons ago. I feel like

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: we weren't really honest with our listeners who we were

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: doing this podcast for, really, and so I just want

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: to take this opportunity right here, right now to say

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: we're doing it for wee bow Welcome to the back

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: dol cast. Um, yes, welcome. My intro was gonna be

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: something like, um, hey, Jamie, I invented some green flying rubber.

12
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Do you want to come try it with me? I

13
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't hit me in the head with a

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: bowling ball, and I go ALLEI there there the bowling ballsy.

15
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the flabber episode of the Betel Cast,

16
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: So get ready for some serious discorse the bowling balls.

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: I thought it would have been so much funnier if

18
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: the spy like guy if his head just like exploded,

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Like what is that movie where the head like fully explode,

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Well that's what would happen if a ball you're just

21
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: pulverized skull would be all over the pavement. Yeah, that

22
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: is I'm trying to think of that. Do you know,

23
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: like the gift I'm talking about where someone's head Just

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: I don't, I mean probably I've probably seen that. I'll

25
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: think of it. Anyways. This is the Flabber episode of

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the Betel Cast. This. I don't know if this has

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: really been a request. I feel like it's been like

28
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: a joke request. I don't think anyone's ever wanted this

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: to happen. Also, we should stay right at the top here.

30
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: So this is the episode that is being released the

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: week of the US election, and the reason if if

32
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: you don't know the read if you're if you don't

33
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: know the reason because you're like, what do you mean?

34
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I love elections? They're so fun, you know, it's just

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: no matter the outcome. And that really didn't feel good

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: to say everyone's fucking exhausted and upset, and so we figured,

37
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, why not when not released an episode on

38
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: the Flubber. We're not trying to make you like, well, see,

39
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: this is where it gets complicated. We were saying, you know,

40
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: let's not make you be strenuous with anyone's brain this week,

41
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: because we're usually geniuses, but like, let's not like choose

42
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: any material that is like really dense. But then it

43
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: turns out we for got so much of a flubber

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: and there's actually quite a bit to talk about. Well,

45
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: there's a bit to talk about, but it's I think

46
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: totally upset you. It's not gonna upset you totally. This

47
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: episode will still be light either. And we are recording

48
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: this well before the election, so we do not know

49
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: two weeks the outcome. So this is either going to

50
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: be a we just don't know, I guess celebration or

51
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: away for listeners to escape the tragic result of the election.

52
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: We don't know. But here, but here's flubber. We don't

53
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Here's flubber. And so here's so

54
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the backtel cast. If this is your first episode, change that, No,

55
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: listen to this and only this episode. Oh that's really

56
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: fun that, I mean, it would be kind of mean

57
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: to us. But if like, you know, when someone's like, oh,

58
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: I want to try this podcast, but it's been on

59
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: for a long time, what episodes should they start with?

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: And they're like the flubber episode changed with the way

61
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I watched movies u um. The Bechtel Cast is our

62
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: podcast where we take a look at some of the

63
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: movies of the world that I've had a cultural impact,

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: and we look at it using an intersexual feminist lens,

65
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: and we use the Bechdel Test as a jumping off

66
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: point for discussion. And I'm spoiling it. I can't believe

67
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: this movie passes the Bechdel Test. I'm actively upset by it.

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: It's like, may I enter, Yes, you may like okay.

69
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm aware of a couple of different conversations,

70
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: but I forgot to pay close enough attention. As per usual,

71
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: there's a conversation between feminist icon we and feminist icon

72
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: Dr Sarah where she's like, hey Sarah, let me in.

73
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm a robot I can't use and Dr Sarah's like, okay,

74
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: DOAK come in? And you're like, well, god damn it.

75
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: Well if it doesn't pass the damn test, well I'll

76
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: be gosh darn't. Wait, Kayla. What is the test? It's

77
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: a media metric created by queer cartoonist Alison Bechtel, sometimes

78
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: called the Bechtel Wallace Test. It requires for our purposes,

79
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: our version of the test. Two people of any marginalized

80
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: gender must have names, they must speak to each other,

81
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: and their conversation has to be about something other than

82
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: a man, and that conversation must last at least two

83
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: lines of dialogue. Hey, Dr Sarah, let me in the window.

84
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: I'm a robot. Okay, come in. Now back to talking

85
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: about Robin Williams and what a talks life partner he

86
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: is in this movie. I don't know what's going on

87
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: in this movie, but it's the Flabber episode Flabber directed

88
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: by Les Mayfield, produced by John Hughes, and it's We've

89
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: talked about John Hughes a few times on this show, right,

90
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we definitely get the Breakfast Club. But he's

91
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: come up quite a bit. He has a couple of

92
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: good movies and then it's really like deadlock between a

93
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of movies for worst. And this is by no

94
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: means his worst, but it's since it's not very good.

95
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: I think other of his movies are more competently written.

96
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: I think this might be the least competently written movie

97
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: he's ever worked on. Right, he has movies that are

98
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: more problematic. Do adhere to store story structure a little better,

99
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: whereas Flubber has third act problems the problems first act problem.

100
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: The movie ends in the middle of the second act

101
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: and then it just kind of starts again. I was genuinely,

102
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a master's in the damn thing.

103
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: This is sud film, But where is it from. I

104
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: would never bring this up on my own, so thank

105
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: you for doing it for Meg. You on a little yeah, yeah, yeah,

106
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: it is a master's degree in screenwriting from Boston University,

107
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: not Medfield or whatever. This is only because it's not real. Also, okay,

108
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: this is fun. Uh. Friend of the cast Slash, one

109
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: of the closest people in my whole life, Julia Claire

110
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: is from Medfield, Medfield, Massachusetts. Medfield College does not exist.

111
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: But I guess the reason this movie takes place in Medfield,

112
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: Massachusetts is because Walt Disney's best friend is from there,

113
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: and their use to be a like special tiny airport

114
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: in Medfield, so Walt Disney could visit his friend. And

115
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: that's the fun fact I learned. So to all our Medfield,

116
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Massachusetts listeners, they don't need to hear about Flubber from us.

117
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: It's Medfield Cannon. Well, may I share my fun fact

118
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: yes please. So towards the end of the movie, Philip

119
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: and Sarah are trying to pitch Flubber to Ford Motor Company,

120
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: and she holds up a sign with Philip's email address

121
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: on it, p Brainard at Medfield dot e du. Now,

122
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I took it upon myself to email you did that

123
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: email address? Did anything happen? I said, Hi, Phil, I

124
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: would like to buy some flubber please. He in response,

125
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: I got this address not found peperin Ard at Medfield

126
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: dot e d U. The message was not delivered because

127
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Medfield dot e du could not be found. There's no

128
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: such thing. It turns out that's a really hard way

129
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: to find out that they made up of college for

130
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: the movie. Like usually I forget who I was talking about?

131
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: Was it? Were we talking about this on a different

132
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: episode where it's like usually when there's like fake phone

133
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: numbers and emails, they lead some somewhere and it's usually

134
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: like donate here or like, ha ha, here's the movie's website.

135
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: They couldn't even bothered, They couldn't even be bothered to

136
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: make up Medfield dot e d you for this movie.

137
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: I can't believe this. Yeah, I think we talked about

138
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: we talked about that on an episode that is coming

139
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: out in the future post this episode. What if we

140
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: were like, what if everyone was like, wait, they don't

141
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: record live, Um, so you'll hear us talk about that

142
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: and you'll be like, oh my god, wow, there it is.

143
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: So we don't have a guest today. We know we

144
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: don't have a guest. We just thought we would goof

145
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: around today because it's a tough week here in the US,

146
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: and so you know, we wanted to speak to none

147
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: of it and hopefully offer you a little bit of escapism. Yes,

148
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: so actually Flubber Flubber is our guest, and here in

149
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: spirit we have here with this flubber. Do you think

150
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: there's are flubber toys? It's so weird. There's like there

151
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: was a lot of I remember I had a Flubber

152
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: Happy Meal toy for sure. Yeah, that sounds familiar. They

153
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: had these like Disney Happy Meal toys where it would

154
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: be like the base of the toy was like a

155
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: va a fake v A just tape, and then on

156
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: top would be a little flubber wearing sunglasses. Oh I've

157
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: got oh Jamie, you're a little memory. Wow. I'm so

158
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: proud of myself. That's literally what it is. It's wearing sunglasses.

159
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: I love when Flubber wears sunglasses. I will say the

160
00:10:54,520 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: dance scene in Flubber Necessary is iconic. And there we're

161
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: big fans of super Flubber here and Flubber, and you

162
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: know how Superocky will do shirts that are like credits

163
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: in movies. I want a shirt that says Flubber Mambo

164
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: by Danny elf Danny Elfman. That was such a good credit.

165
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: I like, is there it says like score by Danny Elfman,

166
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: and then there's a separate title card that says Flubber

167
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: Mambo by Danny Elfman. Why is that its own thing?

168
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: I I wondered that too, and then I came up

169
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: with a theory, which is I feel like, if you

170
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: really make a point to single out a song, it

171
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: says to me, you're trying to get trophies for that song.

172
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: Do you think they submitted Flubber Mambo for Best Original?

173
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean it definitely wasn't nominated, but I wouldn't rule

174
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: it out. I like that theory. Yeah, I think that

175
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: they were like flabber Mom was gonna sweep it is

176
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: good that whole like, I love the Flabber dance sequence.

177
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: I was still like, you know, we are like weirdly

178
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: gendering the flabber at one point, but but outside of that,

179
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: it's a great dance sequence. The flabber turns into drums,

180
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: the flabber turns into the horns the flabber. What can't

181
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: the flabber do? And that's the question we never really

182
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: get answered. No, you're right. I thought there was going

183
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: to be a lot of gender issues with the Flabber, right,

184
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: but it's really the Flabber ends up kind of being

185
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: genderless icon, genderless icon at one point where the skirt,

186
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: but we don't really I mean, that could mean anything

187
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: that's true. So we're doing what's your history with Flabber?

188
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: My history with Flabber. It came out when I was

189
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: I guess eleven, so I was like pretty much the

190
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: target demo more or less. I was like getting to

191
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: an age where I mean, this was the same year

192
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: that Titanic came out as well. This movie comes out

193
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: mere weeks before before Titanic. Yes, and as soon as

194
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: Titanic came out, that was it for me. I watched

195
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: nothing for an entire year besides Titanic. But I got

196
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: a few weeks worth of a flubbering, so I seen it.

197
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: Do you think Flabber was like the last movie you

198
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: saw before titan Like in theaters? I don't even know

199
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: if I saw Flubber in theaters. We didn't. We definitely

200
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: rented it. We never owned it on VHS, but I've

201
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Yeah, I think we must have just

202
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: rented it a couple of times because my sister was

203
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: like eight at the time, and she would have been

204
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: I think, a little closer to the target demo. So

205
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: I had seen it a couple of times as a

206
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: probably like and I have not. I had not seen

207
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: it since then, so it was a pretty big cultural

208
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: staple in the late nineties. But yeah, I just I

209
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: never bothered with it again as soon as I discovered Titanic.

210
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Most people know about Flabber, but no one remembers what

211
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: happened in Flabber. It's very much like a Wes Anderson

212
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: movie in that way where you know what it is,

213
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: and you remember three things that happened in the trailer,

214
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: but you really are not able to answer any further questions. True, Yeah, well,

215
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: what's your history with it? We definitely owned this NBA.

216
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: But I have a very early formative memory of seeing

217
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:44,239
Speaker 1: Flabber in theaters because I was my my brother, my baby.

218
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: My brother was born shortly before this movie came out.

219
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: I remember this was like he was, well, act, he's

220
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: born in April seven, so he would have been like

221
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: an infant, but not like the tiniest infant, like not

222
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: completely ridiculous to bring an infant to Flubber, but like,

223
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I see where this is going. So your mom brought

224
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: a baby to my guess is that me and my

225
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: cousins really wanted to see Flubber and my mom brought

226
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: a tiny baby and was like, let's see how it goes.

227
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: But I was like, yeah, I was, I was four

228
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and my brother was baby, and I just remember he

229
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: kind of wrecked the Flubber experience what with being allowed baby,

230
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: and so I just when I it's this movie. And

231
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: then weirdly Eddie Murphy Doctor Doolittle, which I think comes

232
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: out in the ninety eight. I'd have to check that,

233
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: but those were two movies about wacky professors that I

234
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: was really excited about. That my brother cried as a

235
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: little baby head off the whole time and ruined it,

236
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and so Ben ruined Flabber the first time, but then

237
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: we did get the VHS tape and I saw it

238
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: many times after, but I haven't seen it for uh

239
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: twenty years at least, Like I think that probably we

240
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: got Flabber n VHS. I watched it fifty times and

241
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: then I haven't watched it since. Sure, so there was

242
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: a lot I didn't remember about it, but I yeah,

243
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: early early memory, me and me and Flubber and uh, Ben,

244
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: if you're listening, he fucked Flabber all the way up

245
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: for the whole family been. Honestly, it's on my mom.

246
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: She shouldn't have brought a baby to Flabber, but it

247
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: was worth a try. Maybe he would have slept through Flabber,

248
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: but it's too compelling. He just couldn't get see, I mean,

249
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: the bouncy, the flying rubber, he's Flabber. I think I

250
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: remember the trailer for this movie more clearly than the

251
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: movie itself, because there were a few moments that I

252
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's a trailer moment, such as when

253
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: he says it's Flabber. That's definitely in the trailer, or

254
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: when he says what a bang, that's definitely in the trailer.

255
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the trailer, but I'm pretty sure. And

256
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: then and then when what's his name Christopher McDonald is

257
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: dancing with the flubber, that's definitely in the trailer. And

258
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: then when the basketball player jumps with the flubber. There's

259
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: no women in the trailer, is what I'm saying. There's well,

260
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: there's barely women in the movie. So poor Marshall Ghart.

261
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know who Marsha gay Harden was the last

262
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: time I watched this movie me either, And now that

263
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: I watched it, it was like in her career wise,

264
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: it was a pretty early role for her, and uh,

265
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: we gotta get her out of this movie. Good Escaping.

266
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: I know, by the way, Dr Doolittle did come out

267
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: in and it was directed by a woman, Betty Thomas. Wow,

268
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: so I guess we have to cover it. I bet

269
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: that movie sucks, but I remember really, really liking I

270
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: have two formative memories that d do little, which is

271
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: first that my brother cried the whole time, and second

272
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: that because I would always go to movies with all

273
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: like ten of my cousins because my mom ran like

274
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: a fake daycare out of our house and so we

275
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: would all go together, and I remember someone got like

276
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: a roll of Starbursts and they were like just past

277
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: the starburst down the row, and for some reason, I

278
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: thought my cousins were unwrapping my starburst and I had

279
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: like four starbursts that with the full story before. But

280
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was that movie. It was any

281
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Murphy talking to and it was so embarrassing because I

282
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: was like, ha ha, what a crunchy starbirsts my cousins. Yeah,

283
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: clearly it hasn't effected me at all because I don't

284
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: even remember it happened. Oh my god. Okay, alright, so

285
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: should should I just do the recap and good luck? Yeah,

286
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: I'll try to come in on the assist where I

287
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: can thank you so much. All right, First of all,

288
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: there's an opening sequence that is very similar to the

289
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: opening sequence of Back to the Future, and we're like, oh,

290
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I guess you know lest Mayfield watched Back to the

291
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: Future and just copied it. I had not connected that. Okay,

292
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: I do enjoy the opening of the movie, and a

293
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: Danny Elfman score cannot be denied. Unfortunately, Um so I

294
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: was you know, there are moments when on the rewatch

295
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: of this where I was kind of like dancing with

296
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: my dog. Let's say, I mean, there's a mambo, the

297
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: Flower Mambo snubbed the snub of the Century, but just

298
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: that that part where like you see all the robots

299
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: like making breakfast and stuff like that, something very similar

300
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: happens in Back to the Future. I wrote that down

301
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: is I think that that is safe to say a

302
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: full on movie troupe because I thought of two other

303
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: movies that happen and in that are not Back to

304
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: the Future. Oh wait, what also happens in Pee's Big

305
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Adventure at the very beginning, and it also happens at

306
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: the beginning of Wallace and Grommet in a lot of

307
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: the shorts. And then I think also in the movie

308
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: where I don't I don't know what it says about

309
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: the movie other than like there's an inventor in this movie.

310
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: That and the lengths that men will go to to

311
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: not do household chores. But it's like breakfast breakfast machine

312
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: is definitely some sort of movie length something something something

313
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: semiotics is breakfast machine semiotics. We don't know anyways, Um, yeah,

314
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: he does have a breakfast machine. And then I immediately

315
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: tried to think of all the other breakfast machines that

316
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I've seen, Well, we've got four. Four that's too many.

317
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Listeners. If you can think of any others,

318
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: please in like a twenty years fan to too many? Yeah,

319
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: that's true. Okay, So, um, it's two movies with a

320
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: Danny Elfman score. Sorry, what was the other one? Peewee?

321
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I think so it was the Tim Burton movie Safe

322
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: to Assume, right, Yeah, anyways, continue, this is not important.

323
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: So this breakfast machine belongs to Philip Brainard. That's Robin

324
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: Williams brain get it right. And yeah, if you're like, oh,

325
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: is this movie subtle? His last name is brain This

326
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: movie is adapted from another Disney movie. I think when

327
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: like every live action Disney movie that came out in

328
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: the nineties sixties except Mary Poppins, I was like, no,

329
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: thank you. Um, but it's one of those. So there

330
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: is a precedent for this character, right, but that doesn't

331
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: make his name less really bashing you over the head

332
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: of a mallet. So this movie, so the property is

333
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: based on a short story by Samuel W. Taylor and

334
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: it's also by st On the movie The Absent Minded Professor,

335
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: which I did you We talked about this a little

336
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: bit before, and as soon as you mentioned it, I

337
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: was like, oh, maybe it's like right there on my

338
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: Disney Plus I'll hit play. So I watched like of

339
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: it just to like see if there's anything worth talking about.

340
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: I watched clips and I was just like, m my takeaway,

341
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but it definitely had I was

342
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: active the only thing I found in my research, and like,

343
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: I watched a few clips of it that I didn't

344
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: realize that there was. I thought that flubber wasn't a

345
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: nineties naming convention, but flubber it's been with us as

346
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: a culture. It's been there. Flubber has been there for

347
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: for you know, almost sixty years at this point. So

348
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing about that, which means we're do We're

349
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: about due for another Flubber the thirty If the thirty

350
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: years cycle is true, gird your loins. We're getting Flubber

351
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. Honestly, it would be

352
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: an honor to be involved. You will be the most embarrassing,

353
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: like classically, this this moment in time mistake to be

354
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: Do you see where I'm going with this all female

355
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: rebit of Flabber. Okay, Okay, I don't hate it was

356
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: a woman in step. You're just like, please just let

357
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: a woman direct a movie. That's literally we didn't ask

358
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: for girl Flubber. Um. But would I watch it? Yes,

359
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: I would watch. But now that you mentioned it, we're

360
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: getting it. But hold on, hold girl Flubber, Girl Flabber. Okay,

361
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I'll watch it. Okay. So anyway, so this is an adaptation,

362
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: which I didn't realize until I went on Wikipedia. Yeah,

363
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know that before like researching for this right. Yeah.

364
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say about up amount of Professor

365
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: is that there is another female character who they eliminate

366
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: in Flubber because the Professor has like a housekeeper that

367
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: I think they replace with we Bow. I think they

368
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: combine a housekeeper and a dog into that was read.

369
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I was like wow ee, wowee wow, where to where

370
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: to even begin? Or I think they turned the housekeeper

371
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: into Webber the other robot, and then the dog Charlie

372
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: in the first movie gets turned into we Bow. So

373
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: for everyone listening, if you I remembered there was a

374
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: robot assistant, I did not remember the extent that she

375
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: is involved in the movie. Then that how much she

376
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: wants to have sex with him. I do not remember

377
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: how horny, horny horny she was. I yeah, I remembered

378
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: that I did. Two things I remembered about her was

379
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: that she was a robot assistant and that she some

380
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: times played I remember that she played a clip from

381
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Dumbo on her screen at one point, because she communicates

382
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: only in Disney owned clips, yes, which is like, uh,

383
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: fun as a kid, but as an adult kind of

384
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: embarrassing to watch. Yeah, exactly. So okay, let's sorry, where

385
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: are we know? It's it's it's no one's fault. It's

386
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: clubber's fault, all right. So um Philip Brainerd. He is

387
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: a science professor at Midfield College, which is at risk

388
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: of closing down because it owes a lot of money

389
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: or something. There's it's there in dire financial streets. And

390
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: then we learn by Philip telling his robot wi bow oh,

391
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: if he could just discover this new source of energy,

392
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: he could save the college. And once you listen, if

393
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: you're if you've gotten this far in the episode, you

394
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: gotta watch flubber. Um. I didn't really lies until I

395
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: looked at the I had like scholarly journal Wikipedia up

396
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: as I was watching the movie and it said Jody

397
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Benson as we Bow, I was like, wait a second,

398
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: Jodie Benson is Ariel. And then once you find out

399
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: that the voice of Weibo is the voice of Ariel,

400
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: you cannot unhear it, and you're just like, why does

401
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: Ariel want to have sex with the professor so bad? Anyways,

402
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: it's her, and I'm pretty sure that the later video

403
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: you see is also her. I'm pretty sure. I was

404
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: curious about that if it was. I don't know exactly

405
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: how Jody Benson looked in but it looks like her

406
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: with nineties hair, so I'm assuming, right, okay, And then

407
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: we expect her to break it out in song and

408
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: be like you want singabout bops? I got twenty. She

409
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: just wants to be where the people are, but she

410
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: didn't understand that once she was there where the people were,

411
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: that if she wasn't a people, she's not gonna be

412
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: able to see. She kind of has had the same

413
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: problem in two movies. And The Fun she's a mermaid

414
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: and she can't attain the arbitrary love interest, and the

415
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: next one, this is basically The Little Mermaid too. She

416
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: wants the arbitrary love interest who would not be nice

417
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: to her. But she's a robot this time it's complicated.

418
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: Wow makes you think. Alright, So Phillips his future wife

419
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Sarah played by Marcia gay Harden. They're supposed to be

420
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: getting married that evening, but he keeps forgetting about it

421
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: because he's so absent minded. He's the absent minded professor.

422
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: We know? Did you catch? I want this movie twice

423
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: and I kept forgetting to check. She works at the

424
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: college as well. Her door says doctor Sarah. Does it

425
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: say what she teaches? Do we know what she's like

426
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: a professor of I was under the impression that she

427
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: was like the dean or the president, I thought, But

428
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't remember how I got that information. This poor

429
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: woman does not have a true friend in her entire

430
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: life because she is being stood up by this man

431
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: at the altar for the repeatedly. This is the third time,

432
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: and her friends aren't like, maybe dump him. Yeah, she's

433
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: got one friend, Martha, who's just like who's too supportive?

434
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: Like Martha, you really need to step it up as

435
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: a friend, because Marcia gay Harden is humiliating herself over

436
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: and over for this loser. Yeah, he's he's missed two

437
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: other wedding dates of theirs, but he's like, don't worry, Sarah,

438
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: I will not miss our wedding this time, because she's

439
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: all like, if you miss it this time, we are

440
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: through no Before the wedding, though, Philip's rival Wilson shows

441
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: up to his classroom and he openly admits to the

442
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: following stealing Philip's ideas being petty, being corrupt, and wanting

443
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: to steal his bride to be Okay, honestly, we have

444
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: no choice but to stand. He is the most expository

445
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: character I've seen in a movie in a really long time.

446
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Like he's so and he's played by Christopher McDonald, who

447
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: is a well respected, like a good character actor who

448
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: also has like resting nineties villain face, like he literally

449
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: they're like typecasting him as Mr Steel your girl. Uh.

450
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: And then there's that one what is that line read

451
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: he does where you're like, oh my goodness, like can

452
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: you be serious? He like he like walks out after

00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: he's been wooing her and he's like, I can't lose

454
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: the girl is mine, and you're like, did you just

455
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: say that out loud? Like it's so I feel. My

456
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: read was that Christopher McDonald fully knew what movie he

457
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: was in, and he was just like, all right, I'll

458
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: read a line. I'll dance with the flubber. You might

459
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: not like what you see, but that's on you. He

460
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: also at one point ships the flubber out of his

461
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: butt hole. Does so let's not forget that that is

462
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: actually a really good point and I should have made

463
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: it sooner. We can't forget that he does ship the

464
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: flabber out his butt hole, and that's after he's been defeated,

465
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: because you can argue that that is that scene takes

466
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: place after the movie should have ended, right, there's a

467
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: whole point where the movie ends, but then it keeps

468
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: going anyways. Yeah, so Wilson shows up and then okay,

469
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: so then later that day, as Philip is getting ready

470
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: for his wedding, he figures out the final piece of

471
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: the puzzle for this new energy source that he's been

472
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: working on, and then he like does some science stuff.

473
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: He accidentally blows up his lab, but it ends up

474
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: working because emerges. But Flubber, it's not a scary movie.

475
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: October over, It's November. No more scares. Flubber is a

476
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: blob of green gelatinous balncy goo that also seems to

477
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: be sentient. That was a question I had. Yes, there's

478
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: a question. When Flubber starts wilding out, bursting through glass,

479
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: harassing the neighborhood, we both flies up to. Also the

480
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: science of this movie, I'll say it as a scientist,

481
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: it makes no sense because he's because Robin Williams, Dr

482
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: Flabber or Professor Flabber whatever. Professor Fluber is like, I

483
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: need to make things fly, but his robot can already fly.

484
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: How is she flying? Great question? Could that technology be applied?

485
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: But anyways, we both flies because she can. She flies

486
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: up to Professor Flabber and says, oh, no, you gave

487
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: Flabber too much free will? And you're like, is that

488
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: a chemical composition? Like? And also, even if let's go

489
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: a step further, even if free will can be put

490
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: in a little test tube, why would you then give

491
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: it to Flubber. You would think that Flabber having free

492
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: will would only cause problems. There's no practical use for

493
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: Flubber having free will and a personality. Here's my theory

494
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: as also a scientist, I have your science scientific theories.

495
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: I think that that line is meant to be a joke,

496
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: and it just so happens that it's not funny. It's

497
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: not funny. But then, how do you explain Flabber having

498
00:32:52,240 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: having Yes, I don't think he deliberately gave Flubber free will.

499
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: That might just be a byproduct of the very complicated

500
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: formula he was working on. I'm guessing I was trying

501
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: to read this movie like a few movies. I think

502
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: there's a few influential movies you can kind of map

503
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: this movie on, and one of them is I Frankenstein.

504
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: I think that Flupper and and and Adam Frankenstein have

505
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: more in common than we ever could have met. But

506
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: they just kind of they have free will, but they

507
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: just kind of take it in different directions. I don't know.

508
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Victor Frankenstein didn't necessarily want his

509
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: creature to have free will, but then it just kind

510
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: of did. That was kind And that's kind of a

511
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: question that comes up later of like do robots have souls?

512
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: That's brought up in exactly one line of dialogue and

513
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: then they're like, we're actually not equipped to handle that,

514
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: and they're right, Um, the robots have soul? Does flab

515
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: have a soul? No one asks that and not the

516
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: problem except for us. So we're out here doing the

517
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: important cinematic discourse that is absent. This is the world.

518
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Okay, exactly exactly. Anyway, so, uh, Philip inventing

519
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: this substance makes him miss his wedding. So now Wilson,

520
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: the rival man, is there to make a move on

521
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Sarah because she's like, I'm through with Philip and he

522
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: gives her a ride home and we're like, oh no,

523
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: Marcia gay Harden already has no self esteem. Let's not

524
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: make this worse. I can't wait to talk about that.

525
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: I'm just like, does she have like a sibling? Does

526
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: she have like a friend? Like? Is there anyone in

527
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: her life? Like we've all been at a low po wine.

528
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: Sure in terms of like I'm not asking for what

529
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: I need in a relationship, but this is just egregious.

530
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: She needs someone in her life to intervene. I know

531
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: it's not funny. You know what slubber is sentient slubber

532
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: should should intervene. Should have been like Dr Sarah, you

533
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: know you're a brilliant woman with your life ahead of you.

534
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: Why are you settling for someone who keeps I'm just imagining,

535
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: like Oprah, Why is an Oprah in this movie? Does it? Also?

536
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: I feel like if Dr Sarah watched a single episode

537
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: of Oprah, she would be like, WHOA, I need to

538
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: I need to stop accepting less than what I deserve.

539
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: You know who would have been a perfect already character

540
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: in the movie. Who would have talked her out of

541
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: marrying Philip is wee Bow. She would have done it

542
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: for selfish purposes. But we Bow should have been there

543
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: being like Sarah, you can do better. Yeah, I work

544
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: for the guy, but he's not a good romantic partner.

545
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: But someone else, we both goes a very different way.

546
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: We've said I've got to ruin your marriage. I feel like,

547
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: is it implied that she just never reminds him that

548
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: at his wedding? And also that's on the assumption that

549
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: someone needs to be reminded that they're getting married, which

550
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: means they're not invested enough in their relationship. But like,

551
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just like he's just so absent minded.

552
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: Though he's absent minded, I feel like he just maybe

553
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: as a lifelong bachelor, it's all good. Like if you're

554
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: not wanting or if you were like work over relationship

555
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: every time, then maybe just you need a certain kind

556
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: of a relationship or no relationship. But I'm not seeing

557
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: the compatibility. I'm Dr phil I'm not seeing the compatibility.

558
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: She seems like she really like wants an engaging relationship.

559
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: You're not wrong. I just I tried to view her

560
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: as like if you were my friend, what would I do?

561
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: And you would simply be like, don't marry him. Stop

562
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: trying to marry this person. They're not they're ill equipped.

563
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: You've tried twice already. It's it's failed both times. Don't

564
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: keep trying. You're so sad, like like you're so sad

565
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: about him. Let's just like he's ill equipped. We've got

566
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: to move on. We're in Medfields. The city's swarming with

567
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: romantic prospects in Medfield, Massachusetts. Maybe I don't know. I've

568
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: never been. Um, So, okay, let's take a break before

569
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: we go any further, because this is going to be

570
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: an episode where the episode is recap. So let's take

571
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: a break and then we'll come right back to keep recapping.

572
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're back. So where so Philip has

573
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: missed his wedding. So he goes to Sarah and he's like,

574
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but I was just too busy inventing

575
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: Flubber to be at our wedding. And then he shows

576
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: her Flubber and she's like, I honestly don't give a

577
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: ship about Flubber. We're through now. Meanwhile, how many I mean,

578
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: we've all been there, We've all we've all been stood

579
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: up for Flubber. I do love his angle coming into

580
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: this scene and his angle is like no, no, no, no no, no, no,

581
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: no no no. I know I stood you up at

582
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: the alder for the third time, but it's because and

583
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: she's supposed to be like, oh okay, So she does

584
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: stand up for herself here. And then there's another trailer

585
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: moment which is Robin Williams throwing himself directly into his

586
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: spine from a third story window. I was just gonna

587
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: say he that would have broken his spine, would have

588
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: been a fatal accident. But there's a I mean, that's

589
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: part of I feel like, that's a that's kind of

590
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: a part of like the like sixties movie, nineties movie dissonance,

591
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: where in the sixties, I'm sure it looked so cartoony

592
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: goofy that you're like, oh, this is a cartoon basically,

593
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: but when you see it with like more updated effects,

594
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that he would have died. Well, unless

595
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: I will say I did have difficulty paying attention to

596
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: the absent minded professor when I was watching it, But

597
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that moment doesn't even happen. Not that specific,

598
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: but the stunt, that's like the stunts to me, the

599
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: stunts I saw like looked faker, I guess because it

600
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: was just like an older movie but in the nineties.

601
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this is controversial, but I feel like

602
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: for the most part, the effects, while there's too many

603
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: of them, they mostly held like flubber I have no notes,

604
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: that's Lord of the Rings. That's my Lord of the

605
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: Rings for seven Like the c g I. The practical

606
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: effects yeah, pretty decent. The only thing that really like

607
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: bumped me as like whoa those effects like old were

608
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: some like c g I geese flying in the sky. Yeah, yes,

609
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: those looked really fake. But the flubber I'm the flubber dancing.

610
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: I was like, well, color me and press. Who am

611
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: I to say how flubber dances? This is the only

612
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: way I've seen it. Yeah, well, they did have an

613
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: eighty million dollar budget, and I think like seventy million

614
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: of that went to animating Flabber in seven money. Like,

615
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna crunch some numbers, you please. I

616
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: feel that I'm slowing down the recap so much today. Um,

617
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to convert flubber money. Now, this is important.

618
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: We need we need the adjusted for inflation. Oh okay, wait,

619
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: wait there, I got a website that's like you do

620
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: the map? Who are we? Professor Brainerd? And I'm like,

621
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: you think I am? Do we get a first name

622
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: for him? Yeah? Philip? Philip? Oh yeah, who am I

623
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: phil Brainard? I think so okay, one point six too.

624
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing a math problem. It would be million dollars

625
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: in today money. Embarrassing. That's such a big budget for

626
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: for flubber animation. Flubber well, you know the scene is iconic. Alright.

627
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: So meanwhile, Will Wheaton is suddenly in the movie and

628
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: you're like, sure, sure, he's twenty five, but he's fifteen. Um,

629
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: he's a student of Phillips at the university. Yeah, he's

630
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: like probably twenty, but he is flunking his chemistry class.

631
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: So his rich dad, Chester Honecker sends his goons to

632
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: Philip's house to kick his ass. We're not really sure,

633
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: but they don't get a chance to do anything. Another

634
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: pre was like, what were they going to do when

635
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: they arrived at Professor Flabber's house. They're wearing dark clothing

636
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: that made them seem like they're going to try to

637
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: rob him for grades. I didn't know what their angle was,

638
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, Well the scene right before that is like, well,

639
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: he has principles, but anyone can be bought for the

640
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: right price. Basically, so, okay, are you going to go

641
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: bribe him? Doesn't seem like it. It seems like you're

642
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: going to go try to beat the ship out of him, right.

643
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: But whatever they intended to do, they don't get to

644
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: do because this is when Philip is doing more experiments

645
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: with Flubber, and he's rubbing Flubber all over golf balls

646
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: and bowling balls, which end up hitting the goons balls

647
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: for his experiments at his house. Uh, it's like, you're

648
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: the worst scientist ever. Why aren't you in like a

649
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: legitimate lab. You're not measuring anything, You're not like everything

650
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: every experiment he does, he's like not using this scientific

651
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: method at all. Well, it fully applies that whatever he's

652
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: doing with Flubber, the university does not have any interest

653
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: in funding because he would like that was another question

654
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: that I had about story logic. Where is he like

655
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: doing the first draft of Flubber at his house, then

656
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: he has to apply for grant to do like is

657
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: it an academia issue or like? But he already works there,

658
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: and apparently he's going to get married to someone who's

659
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: like higher up, Like couldn't he ask the president? He could?

660
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: He could ask her, like who shouldn't ask for funding

661
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: about Flubber? Maybe? But well, Jamie, they're not on speaking

662
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: terms because he forgot to go to their wedding for

663
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: a third time. But this is my other question, Like,

664
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: so he it seems like he's been working on flabber

665
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: for maybe a little while, like he like. That's what

666
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: Phil and Weebo have led me to believe is that

667
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: he's been working on it for a bit. So word

668
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: to believe that his work he doesn't discuss with his

669
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: fiance at all, even though it would actually be really

670
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: helpful because she could probably help him secure funding to

671
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: do what he's doing, which then led me to this theory,

672
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: which is every time this is okay, every time Professor

673
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: Flabber doesn't marry Marcia Gayharden, does she just say I'm

674
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: not speaking to you. Here's the next wedding, Like, does

675
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: she just not speak to him between weddings? He doesn't

676
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: show up that because I don't understand why he wouldn't

677
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 1: tell her about Flabber until after he missed the third wedding. Right,

678
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: it seems like she would be interested in it, which

679
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: we which is later confirmed when she's interested in it. Yes,

680
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: because yeah, right, this, yes, this all tracks because he

681
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: already has most of the formula. The only thing that

682
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: he needed to figure out was like, oh, I need

683
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: to introduce heat into the equation to like whatever to

684
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: have have some reaction, and that's what ultimately invents Flabber.

685
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: So he'd been working on this for who knows how

686
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: long he had never told her about this. Ridiculous. Again,

687
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: this is another red flag for Dr Sarah being like,

688
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: you were working on like sentient goo and you didn't

689
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: even tell me. If if a romantic partner of mine

690
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: was like by the way I made Flabber, I I

691
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: my reply would be, what do you mean by the way,

692
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: is there no transparent Yeah, why were you keeping that

693
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: whole process is secret? I thought you were gene being

694
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: on me. I mean, while you're at home making flabber

695
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: with your robot and then I would dump them, which

696
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: they also don't cohabitate, which I think sometimes happens. Maybe

697
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: that was more of a thing in the nineties where

698
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: you wouldn't already be living with I feel like that's

699
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: almost a carryover from the sixties probably of like, yeah,

700
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: I guess you get married and then you move out

701
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: of your house you grew up in, or I don't know.

702
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, I was like, that's like kind of

703
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: unusual by today's standards, But I don't I don't remember.

704
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that was something that happened. But even so, it

705
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: seems like they weren't on speaking terms before the wedding

706
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: and then and this is like getting nitpicky, I'll admit.

707
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: But they both go to work the day of their wedding,

708
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: don't you. People usually take the day off. And it

709
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 1: also implies that they're getting married on a weekday, which

710
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 1: also really happens. They're getting married on a Friday evening

711
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: at six thirty pm. I don't know that much about

712
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: wedding culture, granted, but what I do know is that

713
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: you usually get married on a weekend day, a Saturday,

714
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: maybe a Sunday, so people can come, so they don't

715
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: have two people can come work right, and that you

716
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: can just have the day off and enjoy the festivities

717
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: that the Friday at six thirty. I I first was

718
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: thought that was a writing mistake, but then I thought

719
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: about it, and I think it's not a writing mistake.

720
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: And it makes me really sad. I feel like that's

721
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: third scheduled wedding logic where you're like, I don't care

722
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: when it is, I just want it to happen. And

723
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: you can see there's like fourteen people there. It's a

724
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: very small wedding, and it makes you wonder how many

725
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: people were invited to the first wedding versus the third,

726
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: which makes you wonder how many tens of thousands of

727
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: dollars has been wasted on all of the like deposits

728
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: and all the people you have to book, the caterers,

729
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: the flower people, the everything. I just have to repeat.

730
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: John Hughes wrote this movie like and he adapted and

731
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: in the so neither of us have watched the original.

732
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: All the way through. But based on everything I know

733
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: about the nineteen sixties version, it's less of a movie

734
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: and more of a series of episodes of like, here's

735
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: what happens with the absent minded professor. He does this,

736
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 1: and then it kind of ends, and then this happens,

737
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: and then that kind of ends, and then it's this

738
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: and then, like I don't think so, at least from

739
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: what I the chunk that I watched, or like the

740
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: three quarters I watched, it was like a fluid like movie. Yeah, God,

741
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean the clips I saw, I was like, these

742
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: assume like three different movies. I mean, but I guess

743
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: that that's what movie is too. It takes a slight

744
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: like act three of the movie. Like, well, first of all,

745
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: I think maybe the sixties version is better written because

746
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: like the whole basketball game, the whole like villain with

747
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: the rich guy, that all gets introduced almost immediately, which

748
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: does need to happen story logic wise. Well, and also

749
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: there's no like robot. It's just it's simply a dog,

750
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: and you're like, well that makes that's a movie. That's

751
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: a kids movie. It's someone and as the dog instead

752
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: of someone, and it's there tortured robot assistant that's in

753
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: love with them like that change, Yeah, was the change.

754
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: The big difference with the the I keep wanting to

755
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: call it the nutty Professor. That's not the same thing.

756
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: The absent minded professor is that later in that movie,

757
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: he's trying he tries to sell the Flubber technology to

758
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: the government. Yes, so a bunch of stuff happens there,

759
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: and then meanwhile the bad guy, the rich guy who's

760
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: evil like tries to trick him and like, so there's

761
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: slightly different plot points there, but generally it's like, yeah,

762
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: it's like a pretty standard, cohesive movie that doesn't feel

763
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: that episodic. Uh. And that is probably again better written

764
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: than Flabber because that script is a mess. It's not good,

765
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: but it's structure like right, that's I don't yeah, I

766
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: don't know. And John Hughes took the original Like by

767
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: all accounts from the like context, I was able to

768
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: find there's not that much written about You know what's

769
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: bad when you can google the name of a movie

770
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: and then the word BuzzFeed and there are no results.

771
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: That's how you know you are. You were you were

772
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: addressing lost media. But Bill Walsh randomized name for me.

773
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: But he he co wrote Mary Poppins. He did like

774
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: the sixties live action Disney movies basically is what he

775
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: was famous for writing. And so he wrote the original script,

776
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: and I guess that John Hughes like officially took his

777
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: script and they were like John Hughes rewriting Bill all script, Wow,

778
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: this is going to be so good. And then I

779
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: just like got hornier and it wasn't good. What I

780
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: will say the absent minded professor, Well, the collective fifteen

781
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: minutes I watched board Me out of my skull and

782
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: you want to leave this earth. It at least like

783
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: wasn't horny. There's a noticeable absence of horny. Why is

784
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: the children's movie so horny? So horny? Like that? For me,

785
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: I just don't understand. Yes, yeah, we'll talk about that

786
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: as soon as we somehow. This is the recap. Is

787
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: the episode in a way? In a way? Um okay,

788
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: So the goons show up, they get fought off by

789
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: the flubber balls, get hit by the bowling ball. Would

790
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: have been if you're watching the movie, tell me like,

791
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be funnier if his head exploded and one

792
00:51:55,600 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: of the goons simply died of flubber related causes. That's

793
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: the goons are played by. And I didn't bother even

794
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: to look up the actor's names either. I didn't know

795
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bill from the Silence of the Lamb. Yes,

796
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: is one of them, and then the main prison guard

797
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: from Shawshank Redemption is the other one. Unbelievable, How yeah,

798
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they're like John Hughes movie eighty

799
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: million dollar budget, Robin Williams Disney. You're like, this all

800
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: sounds like things that people like, but then unfortunately it

801
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: is flubber, and then it's that's so cruel. Also, I

802
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: wanted to shout out the character actor who plays Martha

803
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: in exactly two scenes, who is apparently Martha gay Harden's

804
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: only friend in the world and is too afraid to

805
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: tell her that she's in the most toxic relationship of

806
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: all time. But it is iconic character actor Edie mcclerk,

807
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: who is in everything. If you feel like recognize her

808
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: from something, it's because you probably do. She was I

809
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: remember her in I remember her in Ferris Feeler's Day Off.

810
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: She's in that. I remember her, and I think, yes,

811
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: she's in Carrie oh, I remember her from Plane Strings

812
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: and Automobiles. She's in a scene where Steve Martin says

813
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: fuck like a hundred times in a row because she's

814
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: like playing this customer service role. So that's also a

815
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: John Hughes movie. So she's in a bunch of John

816
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: Hughes Okay, so she's John Hughes canon, so he brought

817
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: her in for. But she's first of all classic stock

818
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: best friend character where the only thing we know about

819
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: her is that she is the leading lady's best friend.

820
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, the second thing we know about her is

821
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: that she's the worst good friend. The first thing we know,

822
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: she's a friend. The second thing we know, she's a

823
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: bad friend, and that's all we know. Also, I'm sorry,

824
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: like Dr Sarah if in if I'm putting myself in

825
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: Dr Sarah's shoes. If my triple fiance who keeps not

826
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: not being my fiance because he won't show up to

827
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: a wedding, If my triple fiance can't remember my only

828
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: friend's name, I'm not going to marry that. Like I'm

829
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 1: just not. You know, he doesn't even remember her name,

830
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be like ha ha, he doesn't

831
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: even know her name. He's so absent minded and you're like,

832
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: this is not We're just like, no, this is a

833
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: bad person. Don't marry. I need to get like Marshak

834
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: heard and out of here. We got to get her out,

835
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: I know, alright, So actually we kept so Philip an hour. Um,

836
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: Philip figures out how to make his car fly using flubber,

837
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: and then he flies it over to Sarah's house to

838
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: win her back, but she is already canoodling with Wilson,

839
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: which really upset it's Philip, he throws an apple at

840
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: his head. Yes. Meanwhile, back at Philip's house, Wiebo creates

841
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: a hologram image of a woman I think, with the

842
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: sole purpose of seducing Philip. But the twist is I

843
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: think it's actually Jody Benson's body, which is like, doesn't

844
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,280
Speaker 1: make it better, it makes it I think even weirder.

845
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: I know. But yes, she goes on some it looks

846
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 1: like the it looks like the thing that Share has

847
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: at the beginning of Yeah, I thought that too. She

848
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: creates this all hologram image of this woman and she's

849
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: about to like surprise, kiss Philip in his sleep, but

850
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 1: before she can, he wakes up and he's like, wait

851
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: a minute, I got it. I can use flubber to

852
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: influence the results of the basketball game. Because there's this

853
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: basketball game that's happening surprise, between Medfield and Rutland where

854
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: Will works, and he wants to do this because Wilson

855
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: was like, if my team wins the game, then you

856
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: we have to go away for a weekend together, Sarah.

857
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: So Phillips like, well, I can't let that happen. I

858
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: can't let the other team win. I have to use

859
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: flabbers so that Medfield wins. This seat is so pointless

860
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: that it like makes your body hurt. Yeah. It's also

861
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: a huge component of the The Absent Minded Professor sixties movie, Yes, right,

862
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: And it was like a big thing in both of them.

863
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: But in both of them you're just like, you're just

864
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: like why, I think it has a purpose in the

865
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: first one, but in this one it's just like a

866
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: really long scene. Yes. So then Philip goes and sprays

867
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: liquid flubber on the team's basketball gear, and then he

868
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: goes to watch the game. While the game is happening,

869
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: Weibo is back at home and let's flubber out of

870
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: its container. Que flubber mambo. That's when that scene happens,

871
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: and then we cut back to the basketball game where

872
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: Medfield College wins, right, but Sarah is still like, no, Philip,

873
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with Wilson. So he goes home and

874
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: confides in weibo about how much he loves Sarah, which

875
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: weebow records, and then she goes over to Sarah's house

876
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: to show her all of the gushy stuff that Philip

877
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: was saying, and Sarah is touched, so she goes back

878
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: to Philip and she's like, I'll take you back, and

879
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: then he's like, look, here's my flubber car, and she's like,

880
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: this is how we can save the school. So then

881
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: they go we should say the movie that is set

882
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: up for us should end when they get back together.

883
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: That's where the movie for me, I'm like, okay, so

884
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the movie, oh no, I keep

885
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: forgetting about the wedding. At the end, she forgives him says, Okay,

886
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: we'll get married again. I it's a bad plot, but

887
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: with the plot we're given at the beginning, it's like

888
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: I had no more questions after that, there's no more there.

889
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean the loose end. Tying up is like the

890
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: fact that you included a robot and made them horny,

891
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: But that's kind of on you the whole, Like, but

892
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: what's going to happen to the school. It's like, oh wait,

893
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: I never fully understood that mistake. Uh, and I don't

894
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: care and I don't care about like it seems like

895
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: the That's the other thing is like the like goons

896
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: that are sent to the house are taken out by Flubber,

897
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: and then it was for me, it's sort of like alright, cool, yeah,

898
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: they're the like guess what they're back? You're like, why

899
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: that the Third Actors Show was so rough it was

900
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: really hard to pay attention. Here's why. It's because and

901
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: they don't do enough to properly set this up or

902
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: explain it. But the evil rich guy has loaned the

903
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: school money so that he's like, I'm going to collect

904
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: on my loan by stealing Flubber. So then that's why

905
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: we still have this like tension of him trying to

906
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: like take the flubber and like all those steaks. But

907
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: that should have played out before Philip and Sarah got

908
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: back together. I feel like, yeah, because you're right, because

909
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: once that tension is resolved. We're just like, okay, cool,

910
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: the movie should be over. The only thing that was

911
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: unresolved for me that the movie doesn't even resolve. They

912
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: instead murder the character. H is that like, oh, you know,

913
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: like Wee Bow is the driving force that gets Professor

914
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: Flabber and Dr Sarah back together. But doesn't that you know,

915
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: hurt for her because she has these strong feelings for

916
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 1: for Professor Flabber. So what I I thought might happen

917
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: because I don't remember how this fucking movie ends. I'm like, oh,

918
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: like Wee Bo is gonna have to have this personal

919
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: reckoning of like, well, how where do I go from here?

920
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: As as a as a robot? Where do I go?

921
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: You know, like that I've accepted that this is not

922
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: a relationship that's going to happen for me, but instead

923
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. She seems to immediately be like, oh, well,

924
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: I know it was killing me before and I canceled

925
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: multiple weddings on purpose, but I'm over it. And then

926
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: she's killed another example of a woman who's in love

927
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: with this mediocre man and then just like it's literally

928
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: her for two year old, like it's her movie her

929
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,959
Speaker 1: if it was for someone who was zero years old,

930
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: if they were like, okay, so computers and humans could

931
01:00:54,400 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: they fuck let's discuss And then like Flubber Flubber arrives

932
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: at no, they can't. But just in this case, I mean,

933
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: it's possible. Again, You're like, maybe I knew this didn't

934
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: happen because I was, like, I would have remembered. But

935
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: if we Bo, like maybe we Bow could go dad

936
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: another guy, a human guy you don't know. But obviously

937
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: she doesn't do that. Instead, she's killed. Instead, she is killed.

938
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I just can't get over the fact that we've always

939
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: murdered murdered, and then we're supposed to care about it.

940
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: But I could not even begin to make myself care

941
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: about that moment because we both like we're still kind

942
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: of mad at we Bow, right, because we Bow has

943
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: been a lot of fucked up stuff, and I'm rooting

944
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: for no one right except for kind of doctor Sarah,

945
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: who I'm like, I just need her to, like, you know,

946
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: get a therapist or like talk to someone who's going

947
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: to be like act with some self esteem. But I

948
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: don't feel anything for Professor Flubber because he's like a

949
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: narcissistic jerk who doesn't care about anything except Flubber. That's

950
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: who I'm rooting for. I'm rooting for Flubber. I don't

951
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: know what Flubber wants. I want. They're trying to get

952
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: whatever they want. Uh. I'm not rooting for we Bow

953
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: because we Bow is like also very selfish and doesn't

954
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: care what it's going to make Professor Flubber happy. She

955
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: just wants what's going to make her happy. And then

956
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: she's surprised kisses him via astral projection and I don't

957
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: like that, and like, so I'm not rooting for wee Bo.

958
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Dr Sarah has is kind of like too big a

959
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: project to take on. So yeah, it's you're just kind

960
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: of rooting for Flubber. I feel for Dr Sarah, but

961
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Flubber. It's just the whole wee Bow

962
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: thing is so it just like made my head hurt.

963
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about the whole webo of story and

964
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the fact that it is not just unresolved but killed.

965
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: It's such a John Hughes thing for me to be like,

966
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with this female character.

967
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Let's get rid of her, Like let's see. Ah, you know,

968
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, why don't we take another break

969
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: and then come back to finish the reekend and we're

970
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: back all right? Where were we? Um the disaster of

971
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: a third act of this movie? Oh? Yes, So Sarah

972
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: and Philip get back together, and then they go to

973
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Ford to sell the Flubber technology weird spawn in the movie.

974
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: You're like, really, but that was the first movie too.

975
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: It's also a forward car. You're like, what American industry

976
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: is dead? Get over it. But Chester, the rich bad guy,

977
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: he's mad at Philip again because the whole Lone thing

978
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: or something again, it's not clear, but he sends his

979
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: goons to Philip's house to steal the Flubber and in

980
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: so doing that when they kill Webow. But Weibo has

981
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: uploaded her consciousness onto the computer, and then a daughter

982
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: of Weibow is created we Bet or something. I feel

983
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: like we are in this episode. We are kind of

984
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: analyzing things in real time. Wow. I mean the Weibow death.

985
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, the wee Bow will I did

986
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: not remember and I was like, wow, that video. She's

987
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: so horny. She's like, oh, Professor Brainer Ariel the Mermaid,

988
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: she and again I'm like, Dr Sarah, are you really

989
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: like yeah, seems cool to me, Like I get like, oh,

990
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: your robot was murdered, and but it was so horry

991
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: and he's like crying. Also, there is that, okay, one

992
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: of my favorite bad line exchanges in this movie. And

993
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: again it's like, no, just I love Robin Williams, no

994
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: disrespect to him. It's not his fault that this movie sucks.

995
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: He's doing everything he can. But there is that there's

996
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: that line where after it seems like Dr Sarah has

997
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 1: dumped him for good, Eddie comes home. He's like me, me, me,

998
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: and then he says, I guess it's just you and

999
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: me now we both it's just us and she's like

1000
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: and then he says, and Flabber makes three. And then

1001
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: I just was like I watched that exchange so many

1002
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: times because and Flabber makes three. I'm like, I can't

1003
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: write like that. That's genius. That's and Flobber makes three.

1004
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Back to the Will, the will is so

1005
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: horny and again the story logical. She's like, okay, So

1006
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: first of all, it's another example of like professor, Professor

1007
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Flobber only has toxic relationships in his life. He has

1008
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: a toxic relationship where he's like mistreating his triple fiance

1009
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Dr Sarah, and then he has a toxic relationship with

1010
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: with we Bow. But it's kind of like more on

1011
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: both ends there because we Bow is also like deceiving

1012
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: him and hiding from him and ever return and You're like,

1013
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: this is double this is you know, there's it's there's

1014
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: two parties in this situation where I feel like Dr

1015
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: Sarah is kind of more squarely a victim of the relationship,

1016
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: but we Bow is like, oh yeah, I copied all

1017
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: my data and I never told you. And you're like,

1018
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: who programs are robot to do that? Like I can't

1019
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: think of it? But again, okay, Professor flaps. Big problem

1020
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: is he gives He gives all of his creations too

1021
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: much free will, too much free will, which also begs

1022
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: the question if he has invented a robot with like

1023
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: he she's a I, he has invented artificial intelligence, how

1024
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: has he not sold that technology to save the school?

1025
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: How has that not been something The only thing he

1026
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: put in it was Google calendar and Disney Plus that's

1027
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: the only thing that's in the robot has two absides

1028
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Calendar and Disney Plus and neither of them work. Uh,

1029
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,919
Speaker 1: it can fly, but it can fly, and it has

1030
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: its own thoughts and feeling. It experiences human emotion. It

1031
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: falls in love with a person that they can play

1032
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: clips of dumbbo like it's so confusing that but like, yeah, no,

1033
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: we Bow is shady as hell, like she's she's like, oh,

1034
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I copied all of my data and

1035
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: I never told you. Also, I've been this, I've been

1036
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I've been Jody Benson the whole time, but you just

1037
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: didn't know. And like she's and I'm so horny and

1038
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm wearing she looks like, um she looks like a

1039
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Cape Bush music video is what she looks like in

1040
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: that um oh, with the outfit she puts on with

1041
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: with the flowy I'm like just like full wuthering heights,

1042
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: Like what is this? But but what she says is,

1043
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 1: first of all, I never told you I copied my brain,

1044
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: which is something as the creator that you would want

1045
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: to know. She copied her brain on an emergency disc,

1046
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 1: a sloppy disk, a floppy disk. Yeah, And and she

1047
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: implies that she's had like digital zero and one sex

1048
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: with his consciousness because she's like, I made a copy

1049
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of my brain, but I took out all the parts

1050
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: that are like weird in random and I replace them

1051
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: with parts of you, which to me says it's their baby.

1052
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: She made a baby, right, which they do refer to

1053
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: her like the new Webow, the little red we Bow

1054
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: as their daughter. So they raise her. I'm like, I'm

1055
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I was just like

1056
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: I was. Maybe I'm being a little harder on Weibow,

1057
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: but I'm like we Bow deceitful to the very end,

1058
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: like by the way, I'm pregnant and you sure I'm dead,

1059
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: but I'm pregnant and you have to raise it with

1060
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: Marcia gay Harden, I'm like, what, And now Flubber makes

1061
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Fourber makes four because now and then they like gender

1062
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Flubber at the end, because they make Flubber like the

1063
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: brother kind of there, like I'm not sharing a room

1064
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: with Flubber. He's spinky. You're like what, I just can't believe.

1065
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: I just can't believe. Like from that on, I'm like,

1066
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: I don't even know where we are. So so she

1067
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: dies but she's pregnant to raise the baby and here's

1068
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: the schematics for the baby, right. He also just happens

1069
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: to have an updated, newer looking little red wee bow

1070
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: robot that that consciousness gets uploaded into. I guess I

1071
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: can't even handle it. Yeah, it's it's no good. Okay.

1072
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: So we're almost done with the recap. We're at the

1073
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: climactic sequence. So Philip and Sarah go to Chester to

1074
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: get the flubber back, and Wilson is also there, and

1075
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: some for some reason, Sarah is surprised that he's a

1076
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: bad guy, and it's like, do you not have any

1077
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: judge of character at all? Sarah? I'm just like what, yeah, poor,

1078
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, I just wish I could talk

1079
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: to Sarah, I know you were real. And then all

1080
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the goons are there, so this big fight breaks out,

1081
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: but Sarah and Philip have put flubber all over their

1082
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: hands and feet, so they're you know, bouncing all around.

1083
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: They're punching the bad guys. Flubber goes through Wilson's digestive

1084
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: system out of his butt hole, and that's the final like, woo,

1085
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: we won. That's iconic. And then they're like, yeah, the enemy.

1086
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Once the enemy poops flubber out his butt hole. That's

1087
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: how you know you won. The battle has been fought

1088
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: and you lost. They win and they saved the college.

1089
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: And then Philip and Sarah finally get married, but they

1090
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: get married remotely because he's still can't be bothered to

1091
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: show up for the wedding. I had to rewind. I'm like,

1092
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: there's no way he didn't show up. And he's in

1093
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: his basement like a miga away. He's right there. It's oh,

1094
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: and she has to kiss her daughter. She's to kiss

1095
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: her daughter, who's the who's the baby of a robot

1096
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: that was murdered, And you just want better for her.

1097
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: You want better for her. She has a pattern where

1098
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: she is with this toxic person, and this toxic person

1099
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: just begets toxic robots, toxic everything. I just I couldn't

1100
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: believe he didn't show up at the wedding. At the end,

1101
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: it's like furious. I was so mad, and flubber makes

1102
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: four flubber makes and then and then here's what I wrote,

1103
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: um and then they live flubberly ever after. Sorry, that's

1104
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the police coming to arrest you from what you just said.

1105
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Uh there, oh, oh a cab. I can't this movie. Okay,

1106
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: we've talked so much already. Some lines that stick out

1107
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 1: to me. Flubber could save this college. Okay that I love.

1108
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: Do it for wee bo. That's great. Uh this line

1109
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: when after Sarah and Professor Flabbery back together, we're going

1110
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to sell you the flubber. Okay, that's a line that

1111
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: they say to the rich guy, Oh what else is there?

1112
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: And Flubber makes three? Of course, somebody iconic line, I think. Oh,

1113
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: and I was also going to say that should we

1114
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: should just try to introduce that into like the lexicon

1115
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: of this podcast. When the villain is defeated, they have

1116
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: pooped out the flubber. They poop the flubber, and then

1117
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: the movie is over. They can't. He said something like,

1118
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: oh mommy, and then he poops it out. He goes,

1119
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: oh mommy, you know what. That's another iconic quote. He doesn't,

1120
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh mommy poops out flabber. That is something that happens. Oh,

1121
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:19,719
Speaker 1: you gave Flubber too much free will. That's another. So

1122
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 1: do you have any notes on Flabber? No perfect acts.

1123
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: I thought I would, but then I didn't. Oh sorry,

1124
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:32,639
Speaker 1: I meant like the character Flabber like Flabber I thought

1125
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: was gonna. I thought that they were like gonna miss

1126
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 1: pac Man Flubber, and they were gonna put a lot

1127
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: of gender coating onto Flabber. But the really the only

1128
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: example of that I could find was when Flubber dances

1129
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: with Flubber the Flubber mambo. The Flabber I mean Oscar

1130
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: nominated in a just world, right. I already in the

1131
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: time we've been recording this have tweeted it at super

1132
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: yucky and I'm getting them to consider it, uh that

1133
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: that's just called efficiency baby um. But it seems like

1134
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: they were trying to put on some gender signifiers onto

1135
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: flubbers flubbers um where they put a kind of a skirt,

1136
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: a dancing skirt onto Flabber. But I would say even that,

1137
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, Flubber is such a genderless entity that really

1138
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: any Flabber could be wearing the skirt. And while I

1139
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: would say that probably whoever wrote it wasn't was probably

1140
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: in a more gender normative nineties mindset, I don't know

1141
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: that for sure. So in that way, Flubber is a

1142
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: gender fluid icon. I agree. I think that they there

1143
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: could have definitely been because a lot of things that

1144
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: especially of this era and before this, and even there's

1145
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, residual things after this where something that would

1146
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,440
Speaker 1: not be gendered at all would never be assigned any

1147
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: gender will still be given gender signifiers. And this even

1148
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 1: happens in like a lot of animated movies, where like

1149
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: animals are the characters and they find ways to be like, well,

1150
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 1: the female character even though the female and the male

1151
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: of this species look exactly alike, you could not distinguish.

1152
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: The female has long eyelashes and a bow, long eyelashes,

1153
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: and like a bust and like hips sausage. Pretty yeah, yeah,

1154
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: like like weird animal titties that don't actually exist. There.

1155
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: There's a great old at this point, but like an

1156
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:39,480
Speaker 1: Anya Sarkisian video that like breaks down this whole phenomenon

1157
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: of just like adding egregious gender signifiers because no reason,

1158
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: literally just to do it right, which I honestly thought

1159
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: I was going into this with brain thinking for sure

1160
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: that was going to happen with the actual flabber more

1161
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,600
Speaker 1: but then it was just done with we bow instead,

1162
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:07,759
Speaker 1: but flabber, you know, the flabber itself, iconic, iconic, still

1163
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: justice for flubber. There, I said it all the Flubber,

1164
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: all of the Flubber. There was one time when Flubber

1165
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: made a a fat phobic kind of joke, or a

1166
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Flubber made fun of a butt, and I didn't like that.

1167
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: I noticed that as well, and Flubber really needs to

1168
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: get right in that way. Yeah, so there. I mean,

1169
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't completely flawless, but it honestly, I

1170
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: thought that the flo the actual Flabber, not the movie Flabber,

1171
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: was going to be there was gonna be way more

1172
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: to talk about, but I kind of don't really have

1173
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: that much to talk about. I really just have like

1174
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Wee Bow and Dr Sarah same. So kudos to Flubber

1175
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:59,600
Speaker 1: the character. You go, Flubber the Mambo Flubber seems to

1176
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:05,440
Speaker 1: be able to reproduce a sexually because Flubber is replicating

1177
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: itself over and over again. But I wouldn't say that

1178
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: the Flabber isn't horny. So for me, it got like

1179
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: the Flubber did seem to be. I'm like, the Flabber

1180
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 1: reproduced a sexually we saw, but I also feel like

1181
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: we saw the Flabber kind of getting like, you know,

1182
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: like stimulated by the other Flabber. So there are true

1183
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: questions about the reproductive habits of Flubber. But also I'm like,

1184
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: also it begs the question is Flubber and organic material

1185
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,600
Speaker 1: or is this inorganic chemistry? Is this organic chemistry or

1186
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: inorganic chemistry? We still don't really know. Yeah, and and

1187
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: it really you would think, well, I don't know. Does

1188
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: does too much free will imply sexuality? Maybe? Don't know?

1189
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean because Professor Flabber never made

1190
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: it clear what the ingredients are in too much free will?

1191
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 1: We may never know. We will never know. The Flabber

1192
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:14,440
Speaker 1: is kind of just like a scientific miracle. And I

1193
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: hope that the Flabber gets emancipated from Professor Flabber much

1194
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: like again, and I'll draw that I Frankenstein parallel again,

1195
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, I Frankenstein got away from professoral he killed

1196
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: Professor killed he did kill him? Uh, he killed him?

1197
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: And what if Flabber killed Professor and then got away

1198
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: and then waged the war of gargoyles first demons I

1199
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: love so much. Um, if Flabber did kill Professor Flabber,

1200
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: that would not be a children's movie, but it would

1201
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: be a movie I would watch yeah, and maybe he

1202
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve to die, but he certainly is not worthy

1203
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: of a relationship with Dr Sarah. Dr Sarah, I mean,

1204
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: I don't I've maybe I've already said everything I need

1205
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: to say about Dr Sarah. I just like again, and

1206
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 1: it's like we've been having a flubber load of fun

1207
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: in this episode. But from a writing perspective, this is

1208
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: like just a really poorly written female character that it

1209
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like was written that much better in the

1210
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. But it's just kind of studying how passive

1211
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: she is and outside of like the joke slash point

1212
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: we've been making of, like she clearly has no support

1213
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: system to like advocate for her and she's not able

1214
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: to advocate for herself. But it's like John Hughes is

1215
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 1: writing this, This is not a real person, you know,

1216
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Like there is even a version of this script that

1217
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 1: goes exactly the same way. I still wouldn't like it,

1218
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: but like Dr Sarah doesn't really even stand up for

1219
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: herself one time. The one time she stands up for herself,

1220
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: it's to be like I'm breaking up with you enough

1221
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 1: with the flubber, But then she just goes back on that,

1222
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: and and also the way that what's the villain's name,

1223
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: the guy who ships out the flower Wilson, the way

1224
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 1: he treats her is also really coercive and gross where

1225
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: he I mean, where he literally does like a mission

1226
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 1: statement was like I'm here to steal your girl and

1227
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: your flabber and like and your flabber too, and you're

1228
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: a little flabber too, your little flabber two, He'll get you.

1229
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: And you're a little flaber too. That should be that funny, um,

1230
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: but he, I mean, the way he treats her and

1231
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 1: the way she responds is it's a very coercive situation.

1232
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: But in a way to me, it was clear that

1233
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: the writer wasn't really aware, Like he knows that Wilson

1234
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: is bad, but he doesn't know how to write the response.

1235
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 1: So I just I ended up like feeling badly for

1236
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: her in that situation too, because it was hard to

1237
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: tell is she interested in him but she's not, but

1238
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: then she has, but then she's It seems like she

1239
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: was just appeasing him to end the conversation, but it

1240
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: didn't seem like that was what the movie. I wasn't

1241
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: sure what the movie I thought here's my read of it, because,

1242
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: like you said, the one moment she stands up for

1243
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 1: herself when she likes puts her foot down. She was like,

1244
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: we are through. You failed to show up for our

1245
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 1: third wedding, so I can't do this anymore. It's like, God,

1246
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: that's already the line. First of all, right, It's like, wow,

1247
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: that's like after the first wedding he didn't show up.

1248
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 1: That's when you draw the line. Maybe, but whatever, your

1249
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: it's your life. So she puts her foot down, she

1250
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 1: breaks off the relationship. And then that's when what's his

1251
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: favor Wilson swoops in. She somehow does not notice that

1252
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: he is a sleazy piece of ship because she just

1253
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 1: does not have any awareness of the world at all.

1254
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: And this is because of this trope that we see

1255
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: a lot where I think a lot of male writers

1256
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 1: of screenplays, I think that women are so just like

1257
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: desperate for the affection of a man. She will just

1258
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: get engaged to the first man who pays her any attention.

1259
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: So when Wilson comes in, he's like, well, I'm here now, yeah,

1260
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: let's kiss, And she's like, well okay, and then and

1261
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: then when and then when he turns out to you know,

1262
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't show up for the third wedding, Well, three

1263
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: strikes and you're out, Mr, as far as weddings go.

1264
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: And and then the first guy that shows her attention

1265
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: after that she engages and she's like, well, we're in

1266
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: a relationship now, I guess. And you're like Marcia Gayharden,

1267
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: you're the president of a fictional college, like you know,

1268
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: woman in a leadership role, like you're you're a woman

1269
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: in academia. You're like, there's just no reason that her

1270
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: logical choice would be so like anyone, Like she's a

1271
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: really smart and I don't know, it's it's I and

1272
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: I understand, like where there's a lot of women in

1273
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 1: leadership roles who still struggle with self esteem. I get that.

1274
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: I just don't think that the writer is thinking that

1275
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: hard about it. It just seems like a generalization of

1276
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: like she's a woman over thirty, she's desperate to get married,

1277
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: Like that was more how I read that choice, Yeah, exactly.

1278
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Or there's another reading of that where we're supposed to

1279
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 1: think that they're genuinely in love, Which brings me to

1280
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: a point that we didn't we didn't touch on yet,

1281
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: which was though like most mind numbing character explanation for

1282
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: me in the whole movie, where I don't even remember

1283
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: which rejection. Oh. I think it's like after the basketball

1284
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: game where Professor Flever comes home and he's like, hmm,

1285
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 1: she don't love me because I stood her up for

1286
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: a wedding three times. He's like, she doesn't love me,

1287
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 1: she likes the guy, and then we bow. Seems like

1288
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: she's about to confess her love and be like, let's

1289
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: have sex right now, Professor Flubber take my astral projection body.

1290
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: But then he says, and I didn't write down the quote.

1291
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: I should have something akin to well, you don't understand weepo.

1292
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 1: I am so absent minded because I love Dr Sarah

1293
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: so much, and you're like, that does not make sense,

1294
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 1: that does not make your That is the most gaslighty

1295
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 1: to your own robot ship I've ever heard. It's like, no,

1296
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: it's I keep forgetting about our wedding because I'm just

1297
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: thinking about how much I freaking love you. And it's like, no, dude,

1298
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 1: you're thinking about Flubber, Like we see what you're thinking about,

1299
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: and you're committed relationship with Flubber studies, Like you're not

1300
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 1: thinking about Sarah. That's the whole problem, the whole infuriating

1301
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: start seeing where like his Google calendar is like Mary

1302
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: Sarah and he's like, I don't know, I don't know

1303
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: haircut flubber, And you're like, oh my god, we know

1304
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: you can read what's happening. Yeah, I wrote down that

1305
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: this is a story about a man who loses his

1306
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 1: fiancee because of flubber and then uses flubber the the

1307
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: reason he lost his fiance to begin with, to try

1308
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 1: to win her back. And it's just like, you're I

1309
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: don't work. You're supposed to be a genius. How is

1310
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: this your logic? Right? And then the fact that it

1311
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:39,759
Speaker 1: does work is just like this is the worst writing

1312
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. It's so frustrating. Yeah,

1313
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: and and then the fact that like he doesn't even

1314
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: apologize to her, really like wee Bo starts to feel guilty,

1315
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:55,560
Speaker 1: which she should by the way she keeps intentionally sabotaging

1316
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 1: the wedding, although again, he shouldn't be forgetting the wedding.

1317
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: He should treat me about to remind him he's getting married.

1318
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: That said, if he needs we both to remember and

1319
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: she's not doing it, because she wants to have sex

1320
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 1: with them. That's not good either way. We both starts

1321
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: to feel guilt because she has too much free will.

1322
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: And she goes to a Bechtel cast past Bechtel test,

1323
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: not cast, no Bechtel test, passing scene with Marcia gay

1324
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: Harden because she's like, oh, you know whatever, I'm accountable

1325
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: for this, and she's like no. Look. Also she's like, no, look,

1326
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm secretly filming Professor Flaber at all times from multiple

1327
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:37,879
Speaker 1: cinematic angles. And here's him, and here is him saying

1328
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: this totally irrational explanation of why he keeps missing the wedding,

1329
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 1: which is that he's absent minded because he loves you.

1330
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: And Marcia gay Harden is like, oh, I forgive him,

1331
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: and you're like that is not Not only is that

1332
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: not just not a good explanation of what's going on,

1333
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: it's also he never apologizes to her, or like he's

1334
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: sort of kind of does and passing me like, ah,

1335
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we're passed all of that, Like and

1336
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: now you can really focus on what matters, which is

1337
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 1: flabber which was the problem, Like, I just don't get it.

1338
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 1: Not only does he not apologize He never even just

1339
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:20,480
Speaker 1: tries to talk to Sarah about what is clearly relationship

1340
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: problems that they are having. He never Yeah, It's like

1341
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: if he were an adult, he would be like, look,

1342
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: I know, like, here's some flaws that I have. I'm

1343
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: so sorry. I'm gonna work on being better. But the

1344
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: only thing he ever does is just be like, here,

1345
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: let me show you how much of a geniees I am.

1346
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: Let me show you how good I am at flubber,

1347
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,639
Speaker 1: And that's going to save our relationship. I'm so good

1348
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: at flubber. You don't understand. Maybe, baby baby, you know

1349
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: what a guy is like flailing and he's like, baby baby,

1350
01:28:55,120 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: maybe there's a lot of soft bees and you're like, up, um,

1351
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: he's like that. But with flubber, which has a couple

1352
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 1: of soft bees, in't it? It's I felt I felt

1353
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: so mad when she And then also the like, why

1354
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 1: does I mean this is a convention we talked about

1355
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: a million times, but this is just so uniquely bizarre.

1356
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:26,959
Speaker 1: Why does everyone want to have a kiss with Professor

1357
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,680
Speaker 1: Flabber while he's asleep. They're like, you know, it's like

1358
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: when it's the same, it's the same logic that will

1359
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,679
Speaker 1: eventually get us an all female reboit of Flubber, which

1360
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: is like, what if we just do the same thing

1361
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: that we did that everyone hated, but we flipped it

1362
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, no one wants that, Like what if

1363
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: we kissed an unconscious male? And it's like, that's not

1364
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 1: why people were asking for Actually, uh and somebody because

1365
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: we Bow is always citing Disney movie references. She like

1366
01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 1: to show her intention of what she wants to do

1367
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: with I think her name is Sylvia, the like hologram

1368
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: version of her. There's like this little clip of snow

1369
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,599
Speaker 1: White in the Seven Dwarves that plays where you see

1370
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 1: Prince Charming kissing an unconscious snow White and she's like, yeah,

1371
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: great idea that too, And it's just like and then

1372
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 1: the only that's what happens been the only thing you

1373
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 1: install on your emotionally intelligent robot is Disney Plus it's commentary.

1374
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: She's gonna start wilding out with some irrational behaviors. Okay, Well,

1375
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: was that Shirley McClain movie that she kept watching and

1376
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 1: then like that was the thing that made her realize that, oh,

1377
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 1: I if I love him, I need to let him

1378
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 1: go kind of thing. I don't know. I was wondering

1379
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: that too, and then I was like, Wow, we're so young.

1380
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 1: We don't even know what this movie is. I don't know.

1381
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: Let me look up some Shirley McClain performances and see

1382
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 1: if we can guess, because there were a few. I'm

1383
01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: guessing that they had to license a few things. I

1384
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: don't know what Disney owned at this time, because I'm like,

1385
01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 1: they are only Simpsons now. I don't don't know. If

1386
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 1: they did then, who know, I don't think so they

1387
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 1: used a Mickey Rooney clip, they used a Shirley Temple clip,

1388
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 1: they used like a few old Hollywood clips. What do

1389
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 1: you think it was? Was it Shirley McClain? Was it

1390
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 1: terms of endearment? Maybe she was I think would have

1391
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 1: been older by that point, was it? It wasn't the apartment?

1392
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: I think I've seen that one Steel Magnolias. No, she

1393
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: would have been even older. I don't in terms of

1394
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: what is terms of endearment? Maybe that is right. Three

1395
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 1: Debora Winger, Shirley McClain. Don't you know there's someone out

1396
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 1: there screaming at us from home, being like, it's this movie?

1397
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, the only thing I know about terms.

1398
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen terms of endearment, but I know that

1399
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 1: Coreina Longworth talked about it on last season of You

1400
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Must Remember This, and that's all I know. When you

1401
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 1: said terms of endearment, I thought the thing that came

1402
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: to my mind was Steel Magnolia's So I don't know

1403
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:06,759
Speaker 1: the difference between movies. We're so young and that's honestly

1404
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 1: killing us. Um yeah, I have. I don't know what

1405
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: that was, but I also that was my first Like

1406
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: everything I thought was going to happen to the Flubber

1407
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 1: in terms of like aggressively forcing gender stereotypes onto a

1408
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: character that it doesn't really make sense, would be this

1409
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 1: heavily gendered happened to Weibo instead, where we had a

1410
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: version of this conversation in our her like thing, where

1411
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: it's not it's not in a rational writing decision to

1412
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:41,799
Speaker 1: make an assistant programmed tool to have a woman's voice.

1413
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of the time it seems like, oh, well,

1414
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: this is a win for women, but it isn't. Because

1415
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the reason that that like Siri has a female voice,

1416
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 1: or like, you know, all the Siri knockoffs is because

1417
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 1: we're you know, at a young age formed to think

1418
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 1: that women were in service, you know, like care roles, people,

1419
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 1: and people are more comfortable telling a woman what to

1420
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:10,439
Speaker 1: do than younger man what to do. So that is

1421
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 1: why all your robot voices are or most of your

1422
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,560
Speaker 1: robot voices are defaulting to female. And then there's a

1423
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 1: bunch of examples of like when it's a science like

1424
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 1: when it's a science assistant, you'll hear a male voice

1425
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 1: and like why is that? And it isn't like off

1426
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: the wall that Weibo would have a female voice, because

1427
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 1: you would assume Professor Flabber is more comfortable telling a

1428
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:36,640
Speaker 1: woman what to do than a man, uh, which we

1429
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 1: know because he keeps disrespecting women the whole movie. But

1430
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,640
Speaker 1: then there's the the other robot, Webber, who seems to

1431
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 1: be doing only domestic chores. And I feel like that

1432
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: robot was coded male. I think so, But also you

1433
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 1: can't really tell because Weber never really talks. I don't

1434
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Flebern doesn't really have an arc. Where was Webber's are

1435
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 1: where Justice for Webber? Come on? Justice for Webber? Yeah?

1436
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't really know what's going on with Webber other

1437
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:07,559
Speaker 1: than that he was a vacuum cleaner. Um, but but

1438
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: he was gendered male. I think that they use he

1439
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: him pronounced towards Webber, who is a vacuum cleaner. Why

1440
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 1: did we gender the vacuum cleaner? So many questions? Uh there,

1441
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: um yeah, But like the fact that on top of

1442
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: like the semi coherent choice, where again, Her is not

1443
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 1: a movie I like, I think it's a fucking I

1444
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: don't like it kind of movie. But at least the

1445
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: the like assistant was made with a like female coded personality,

1446
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 1: and it's made clear in the movie why that is happening.

1447
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 1: Right in this movie, it just happens. And then she's

1448
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: also given all these like human female nineties stereotypes. That is,

1449
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: like did he program the is he doesn't seem to

1450
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 1: be emotionally intelligent enough to know what any woman is

1451
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 1: like literally says, I wish I understood human beings. I

1452
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: wish I understood women. I wish I understood emotions and passions.

1453
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 1: I wish I understood any of that. So how it's

1454
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: because he just keeps knocking over this like court of

1455
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: free will, He's gotten his basement. I'm just like, you

1456
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 1: know the fact that the fact that the first thing

1457
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: we see, you know, we Bow with I don't know

1458
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,679
Speaker 1: why I thought her name was Phoebe. Listeners if there's

1459
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:36,720
Speaker 1: another robot assistant in a movie called Phoebe. I was

1460
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 1: shocked that her name wasn't Phoebe, but maybe my brain

1461
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,719
Speaker 1: was just like weebo Phoebe. It's the same either way.

1462
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 1: The first thing we see where she's on her own,

1463
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: she's like crying at a romance movie, which it's not,

1464
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like it's a lot of it's

1465
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of coding. And then when you consider who

1466
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:02,600
Speaker 1: who programmer is, You're like, how did this happen? Exactly?

1467
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,240
Speaker 1: How long has she existed for? Like is this anything

1468
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:09,760
Speaker 1: she's developed over time? Like does she get smarter as

1469
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 1: she does she like develop and grow and dependent of

1470
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: her programming. There's a lot of questions. I don't know.

1471
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 1: I feel like they're like, Okay, so the viewers of

1472
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 1: this movie are four years old, and there Jamie and

1473
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 1: her brother was crying, and they're gonna be like, okay,

1474
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 1: so there we don't need to really worry about we

1475
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 1: Bow's arc. And they're like, no killer or whatever if

1476
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: she won't remember, and they were right, And I feel

1477
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 1: like that is like people will be like, Caitlin, Jamie,

1478
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:40,880
Speaker 1: why are you Why are you analyzing Flubber so deeply?

1479
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: This is a children's movie, you know what first? And

1480
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: in this case, normally I would say, well, doesn't media

1481
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 1: formulate how you view the rest of your life? But

1482
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 1: in this case, we did not remember any of the

1483
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:55,759
Speaker 1: problematic elements. And so the answer is, I don't know, Well,

1484
01:36:55,880 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: we didn't remember them consciously, maybe, but maybe we did subconsciously.

1485
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:04,800
Speaker 1: What if I have been I'm like, what if I

1486
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 1: was watching Okay, Devil's Advocate. Maybe this happened to a listener.

1487
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,000
Speaker 1: Let us know you're watching Flabber, and then you're like,

1488
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, every toxic relationship in my life is

1489
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 1: because a Flabber. Like I have been stood up at

1490
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:26,719
Speaker 1: the altar three times, several times, and I didn't realize

1491
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: it was because I was just chasing this unrealistic ideal

1492
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:35,120
Speaker 1: of Professor Flabber and wee bow and Flabber makes three.

1493
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,560
Speaker 1: I and Flabber makes three. I'm just never going to

1494
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: get over. That's another shirt I want, just like that

1495
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: part of the script. And Flubber makes three. I'd buy it,

1496
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 1: I'd wear it. I honestly thought that flabber was more

1497
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 1: of like a cult movie, but it's kind of not.

1498
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 1: I think it's just kind of like people remember Robin

1499
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:56,839
Speaker 1: Williams saying it's Flabberber right. Well. My other counter argument

1500
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: too it's a movie for children, is that there are

1501
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: many movies four children that are a million times less

1502
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 1: problematic and better written. And some of my favorite movies

1503
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 1: i e. Paddington, Paddington to Mowanna, et cetera. Well there's

1504
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: even like problematic children's movies that stuck with me more

1505
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 1: and I still think are better like we Have whatever.

1506
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 1: You can listen to the Little Mermaid episode. But even

1507
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 1: in terms of like the cannon of Jody bentson children's movies,

1508
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 1: would I ever, unless I was like making a joke,

1509
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: choose Flubber over The Little Mermaid? No, like never, because

1510
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,640
Speaker 1: the problem is here that more people would be negatively

1511
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: affected by the toxic messages of the movie Flubber if

1512
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:53,640
Speaker 1: Flubber was a good movie, But since it's not, I

1513
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 1: think that generally the the negative effect was kind of neutral.

1514
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 1: But maybe if it was good, like the Little Mermaid

1515
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 1: is a good movie with a lot of bad messages,

1516
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:08,759
Speaker 1: and that is why so many people carry so many

1517
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 1: negative messages from it. Flubber is a bad movie that

1518
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 1: no one remembers what happens in it, so but a

1519
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: lot of people did see it grossed enough almost a

1520
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million dollars worldwide at the box office

1521
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:27,679
Speaker 1: in nineties seven, money, which adjusted for inflation, is five

1522
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:31,799
Speaker 1: billion dollars. It seems like this was a Thanksgiving movie.

1523
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 1: It was released like around Thanksgiving time, bringing the whole

1524
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 1: family to see Flubber, and I guess they did. I did.

1525
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 1: I was there. Um, this movie sucks so much, like,

1526
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 1: but did I have fun watching it? Yes? Well the

1527
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 1: other okay, so the other. Going back to Wei Bow not,

1528
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: one of the weird things about her is that she

1529
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 1: is so she's rife with all of these like women

1530
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 1: be desperate, women be lying and deceiving women be surely

1531
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: not claim it all that kind of stuff. But she

1532
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 1: is still the more active female character than Sarah. Sarah

1533
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 1: is so passive. Weibo is far more active, but everything

1534
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: she's doing is deceitful. So it's just like, what is

1535
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 1: the takeaway I'm supposed to be rooting for we like,

1536
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,719
Speaker 1: I think that we're supposed that I can't suspend, suspend

1537
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:36,760
Speaker 1: my belief to be rooting for Professor Flubber or we Bow.

1538
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: I think that they both need to like work on themselves.

1539
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: And I really need to send a long email and

1540
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 1: be like, I can't be your friend anymore because this

1541
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: is just becoming too much and the way you're treating

1542
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 1: Professor Flabber isn't okay, and the way Professor Flubber is

1543
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 1: treating the people in his life isn't okay. And I

1544
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 1: just need to remove myself from the situation. And Dr

1545
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:01,400
Speaker 1: Sarah and I are going to get an Airbnb this

1546
01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:04,719
Speaker 1: weekend and just talk things out, like that's what Martha

1547
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 1: should have done, but we don't know anything about Martha. Um. Yeah, no,

1548
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 1: I this movie really wants me to empathize with Wee Bow,

1549
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,840
Speaker 1: but we Bow is acting like a twelve year old,

1550
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 1: which maybe she has. I don't know. I'd like it's

1551
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: a very junior high revenge tactic to me. And Astral

1552
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 1: projecting to surprise kiss someone that's new for me in

1553
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 1: a movie, but that I don't like it. But I've

1554
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: never seen it before. I've never seen that we've seen

1555
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:41,679
Speaker 1: Astral because there's there's moments in like Blade runner. There's

1556
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: moments in I seen that movie Get a Grip. There's

1557
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:51,720
Speaker 1: moments like that where they're like, Okay, let's make out

1558
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: with a hologram, but probably it happened, but there's not.

1559
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 1: Most of those hisses seem to be consensual. So yeah,

1560
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: this is I think maybe a rare instance of a

1561
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:12,719
Speaker 1: non consensual hologram kiss. So whoops, So that's not good.

1562
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: And then it happens also in real life, and neither

1563
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 1: time is there any consequence. The first time it happens,

1564
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 1: he's like, I had a dream about basketball, And the

1565
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: second time he's like, oh goody, my ex girlfriend broke

1566
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 1: into my house and kissed me and now I'm so happy.

1567
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: And now we're going to get married a fourth time.

1568
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: And you're just like, I'm not going to show up

1569
01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: to that wedding either. Get me out of this yeah literally,

1570
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: and he isn't. Uh, It's like, get me out of

1571
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: this movie, get me out of this world? Um, did

1572
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 1: she anything else? Two last quick things? Okay, Phil is like, hey,

1573
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,720
Speaker 1: we bow come into this flying car with me and

1574
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: she's like, no, flying makes me sick, even though she

1575
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 1: is a flying robot. Yeah. I was like, don't you

1576
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: fly all day. We bow and then she's like, I'm sick,

1577
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: and he's like, you're a robot and she's like, oh yeah. Um.

1578
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to say was flubber clean

1579
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:13,760
Speaker 1: energy question mark. Yeah, oh my god. We that's a

1580
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,800
Speaker 1: way better application of flubber than a basketball game. Yeah,

1581
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:22,640
Speaker 1: flubber seems like renewable clean energy. Although we don't we

1582
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 1: don't know for sure, We don't really know what went

1583
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:29,760
Speaker 1: into the making of Flubber. Literally, like Elon Musk, the

1584
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:35,160
Speaker 1: story down to the toxicity and lack of understanding of

1585
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: how to treat a human being that Professor Flubber has.

1586
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: This is the blueprint. Elon Musk sees Flabber in theaters

1587
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: and it's like, I could do that. I could be

1588
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:49,679
Speaker 1: cruel to women and any employee I've ever had. Yeah,

1589
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: and then and then also make electric cars at his

1590
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 1: flubber tesla more like flabber. Let's not do that a flabber.

1591
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: I wish that there was a flubber toy. Also, this

1592
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: was such a moment for such a moment for like

1593
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:09,959
Speaker 1: goop in children's entertainment, you got slime, you got flubber,

1594
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 1: you got ghack. Remember Ghack. I remember ghack and it's

1595
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 1: a cycle too, because it came back a couple of

1596
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:18,800
Speaker 1: years ago as like slime that you would make at

1597
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 1: your house, and that like child YouTubers to be like

1598
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm making slime, and it's like, okay, kids love goop.

1599
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I remember getting ghack for my birthday

1600
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 1: once and being like, oh my god, a whole egg

1601
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: full of goop. Now my parents spent eight dollars on

1602
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:41,800
Speaker 1: Like that's too much for Goopluber expensive. Do you think

1603
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: that Gwyneth Paltrow saw flubber and she's like, there are

1604
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:51,520
Speaker 1: other applications to this. Yeah, the implications of this technology

1605
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:56,599
Speaker 1: are just unbelievable. I'm looking up flubber toys because I would.

1606
01:44:56,640 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: I would get you buy a flubber. I would buy

1607
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: a flubber. Don't email p Brainard at Medfield dot et

1608
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 1: you ask him to buy some flubber because he won't respond.

1609
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: What an asshole. Honestly talks it to the very end. Uh,

1610
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 1: there are flubber bean bags of the Disney Store made,

1611
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 1: and there is of course five hundred million people on

1612
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,600
Speaker 1: eBay trying to get rid of that happy Meal toy

1613
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 1: with flabber wearing sunglasses. There's also oh my god, there's

1614
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: also a what the hell there's a talking wee bow? Wait,

1615
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: that's what's what? There's a talking wee bow. Listen, I

1616
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:37,559
Speaker 1: pre quarantine. I would be like I would never get

1617
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:41,080
Speaker 1: a flubber toy. But guess what. I bought a Babu

1618
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:45,120
Speaker 1: frick and it's in my house and I also tried

1619
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 1: to buy I don't know. I don't know if it's

1620
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 1: ever coming. It seemed like it was kind of from

1621
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 1: a suspicious vendor. But something Kaitlyn you sent it to

1622
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: me is something called green Baby, because I don't think

1623
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:59,200
Speaker 1: they can call it baby Grinch without paying royalties. But

1624
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, in the way a flubber another green baby.

1625
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: A listener sent us that link. Actually so and I'm

1626
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 1: so sorry. I don't I don't shout remember your handle,

1627
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 1: but shout out to the listener who made us aware

1628
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:16,959
Speaker 1: of green Baby, a k baby Grinch the toy. And honestly,

1629
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,559
Speaker 1: I have to say, I think I just gave a

1630
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: random person. I just don't think that my feeling and

1631
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 1: the green Baby isn't coming. I will be. It will

1632
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: be a Christmas miracle and green Baby gets here in

1633
01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 1: time for me to watch Baby Grinch. But it we'll

1634
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: see your heart will grow three sizes that day. My

1635
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 1: heart will explode out of my body and I'll die.

1636
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:45,600
Speaker 1: If Green Baby gets here, it would make me so happy.

1637
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know well well, and Flubber makes three anyone,

1638
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 1: So we the movie does pass the Bechdel test, as

1639
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,600
Speaker 1: we've discussed between Sarah and we bought that quick exchange

1640
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: the remainder of that conversation, and as them talking about Phil,

1641
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: so that doesn't pass. And then Sarah and Martha also talk,

1642
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:11,720
Speaker 1: but I think they only talk about the impending hetero wedding. Yeah,

1643
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:14,720
Speaker 1: that's coming up. So I don't think any of those

1644
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 1: exchanges past. Jamie. If we have a nipple scale that

1645
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:24,599
Speaker 1: we have to oh no on the five nipples based

1646
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 1: on how affairs looking at it through an intersectional feminist lens, uh,

1647
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 1: you know what? Five flowers? I don't know. I guess

1648
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: I would give this like nipple, okay, because I don't

1649
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:50,639
Speaker 1: think the movie. I mean, I guess I appreciate any

1650
01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 1: story in which a man is largely motivated by a woman.

1651
01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, although I mean it annoys is me

1652
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:04,040
Speaker 1: when a woman is largely motivated by a man, right

1653
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:08,799
Speaker 1: in a movie. But I don't mind the flip of that, right,

1654
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 1: because I think men normally aren't characterized that way. So

1655
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: when you do see it, I'm like, Okay, that feels

1656
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: sort of like a subversion. Um although everything that he

1657
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: does to try to win her back is ridiculous and

1658
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 1: ill informed and he needs to go to several hundred

1659
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 1: hours worth of therapy to learn how to be a

1660
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 1: better partner because he also does like he the one

1661
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 1: time he attempts to communicate with her, he just ends

1662
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:42,439
Speaker 1: up spying on her instead, Right, So that was that

1663
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:44,680
Speaker 1: was a double disappointment. Was like, oh, I was like, oh,

1664
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: he's going to go try to communicate with her, but

1665
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 1: then he instead spies on her and then never talks

1666
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 1: her and drives away in his flying car. Immature, right,

1667
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:57,560
Speaker 1: And just the way that Sarah seems to be characterized

1668
01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:59,600
Speaker 1: as just being so desperate for the attention of a

1669
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 1: man she will just be with any man who is

1670
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: paying attention to her, and we Bow is characterized as

1671
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:12,639
Speaker 1: just being also obsessive with the only man she knows,

1672
01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 1: to the point where she's she's lying to herself, She's

1673
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:21,160
Speaker 1: lying to him. She's lying to everybody about it. It

1674
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 1: ain't right. But I don't know. I guess one nipple

1675
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 1: for reasons I don't even know about know why I

1676
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:35,439
Speaker 1: don't even I mean, I'm telling I'm I guess I'm

1677
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 1: going to say like a half um, but I like,

1678
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 1: do have a bizarre unexplained I mean, actually I can't.

1679
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna hate this. I can explain my attachment to

1680
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 1: the movie. And you know what it is, the Flubber.

1681
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 1: I love the Flubber. I love the flubber. I love

1682
01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,720
Speaker 1: when the flubber dances. I love when the flubber bounces

1683
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 1: around and breaks things and scares people. I like when

1684
01:50:08,200 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 1: the flubber is caught in the glove. I like when

1685
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 1: the flubber dances the flubber mombo. I like when the

1686
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: flubber lives happily ever after, And I love when Flubber

1687
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: makes three Do you mean flubberly ever after? In a way? Yes,

1688
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 1: I so this movie. I mean the redeeming part of

1689
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:32,160
Speaker 1: Flubber is the flubber. Um. The story is horrible. The

1690
01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:35,400
Speaker 1: story is maybe one of the worst. Um it is

1691
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: at least I mean, I guess the argument that you

1692
01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 1: can make is that it's like not a male protagonist

1693
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,640
Speaker 1: that is openly disdainful of women, but just kind of

1694
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 1: extremely dismissive and careless in I would assume all of

1695
01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 1: his relationships, but we only see his relationships with women.

1696
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that. It's like he would have a

1697
01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:57,640
Speaker 1: male friend who he would be really attentive towards. That

1698
01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:00,000
Speaker 1: doesn't really make sense to me, But we only see

1699
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 1: him miss treating his partner and miss treating what I

1700
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:08,840
Speaker 1: don't even I mean, and something something weird robot relationship,

1701
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:14,639
Speaker 1: has a toxic relationship with his robot. And then we

1702
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: also see heavy gender coating on an aerial than mermaid robot,

1703
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:22,559
Speaker 1: who is I mean, she's suffering. I feel for her

1704
01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:25,639
Speaker 1: in some ways, but also she's like not nice and

1705
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:27,800
Speaker 1: she is not an ally to other women because she

1706
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: keeps sucking over Dr Sarah, who did nothing, nothing, nothing nothing.

1707
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 1: If she's gonna love anyone, she should love Webber, the

1708
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 1: other robot. Like he's right there, he's also a robot,

1709
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 1: You're probably more compatible. We had nothing nice to say

1710
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 1: about Webber, Like we're like, we didn't think, you know,

1711
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,280
Speaker 1: We're just like what, he's just a vacuum cleaner, but

1712
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,760
Speaker 1: also there was more that I don't know. It's like

1713
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:52,479
Speaker 1: she doesn't need to date Weber, but like just yeah,

1714
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: we only need to take the l or like search

1715
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:58,559
Speaker 1: herself and what she really needs to not do is

1716
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: Diana Blaze of Glory and then tell someone that she's pregnant. Um,

1717
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 1: so I'm going to give it half of one nipple.

1718
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 1: And then also like what happened with Martha, she was

1719
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,599
Speaker 1: a bad friend and she was disrespected by the plot.

1720
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 1: She wasn't even at the wedding when she well, I mean,

1721
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:19,680
Speaker 1: to be fair, it's the fourth one. It's true. She's like,

1722
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 1: I've been to the first three. I'm not coming to

1723
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:24,520
Speaker 1: another one. That's I mean, maybe that's just her establishing

1724
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,519
Speaker 1: boundaries that are like maybe kind of healthy. Uh true,

1725
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: She's like, listen, I'm not you're wasting my time. I

1726
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 1: have an e harmony date. Did that exist? Um? In

1727
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: any case? In any case or match dot com? I

1728
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: don't know what with dating say was it was? I

1729
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:44,680
Speaker 1: think it was still not very online, was it? I

1730
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:46,599
Speaker 1: think it was. But it was like the period of

1731
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 1: movies where I wonder when those movies started when it

1732
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,559
Speaker 1: was like if you dated online. Everyone in the movie

1733
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:57,559
Speaker 1: would be like, no, no, don't do that, and then

1734
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 1: three years later they're like, I get like, I'm taking

1735
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:04,639
Speaker 1: three days a week from the internet. Um, in any case,

1736
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:09,800
Speaker 1: that was nothing to do with this. I'll give it

1737
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:13,040
Speaker 1: a half nipple, but I'll give it five flobbers. So

1738
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't think there is a single person of color

1739
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: on screen at any point in the entire even in

1740
01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 1: scenes where there's like there you're on campus and you

1741
01:53:21,840 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: see like extras and stuff. I think every person is white,

1742
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 1: which we should have mentioned sooner. Um. In our defense,

1743
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 1: this is a John Hughes movie, so it almost goes

1744
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:34,920
Speaker 1: throughout saying this is going to be the very white,

1745
01:53:35,479 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 1: incoherent and toxic. Yeah, this movie isn't good, but uh

1746
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:43,040
Speaker 1: it's saving Grace is the one thing that John Hughes

1747
01:53:43,080 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: didn't make up, which was Flabber. Uh flabber forever. I

1748
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 1: just put a flabber toy in my eBay card and

1749
01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:56,440
Speaker 1: Flabber will be getting to my house on Tuesday. Incredible.

1750
01:53:57,320 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: H Well, that's our flabber episode. I think you'll agree

1751
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:10,240
Speaker 1: that it was necessary, and I'm like worried for I

1752
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:13,760
Speaker 1: hope everyone in the world, everyone in the US is

1753
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,639
Speaker 1: doing okay this week. I also hope that we're doing

1754
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 1: okay this week. I mean, who knows there, you know?

1755
01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 1: We we yeah, we we don't. We again, don't know

1756
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:28,639
Speaker 1: what the results of the election are at this time

1757
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,320
Speaker 1: of this recording. We record like a month in advance.

1758
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 1: And that's just um self care. Yes, so that's flabber,

1759
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 1: that's flabber. Hey, here's something I would like to plug

1760
01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 1: of my own. Oh yes, go ahead. I do a

1761
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: new Instagram live show called Movie Talk with Caitlin. It

1762
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 1: is derived from a Facebook bit I did for a

1763
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:58,480
Speaker 1: while back when I still used Facebook. But it's an

1764
01:54:58,480 --> 01:55:02,000

1767
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:13,840
Speaker 1: just me talking about movies with people. There's no preparation

1768
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 1: that I have to do beforehand. There's no uh post

1769
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:20,520

Speaker 1: a podcast coming out called Lolita Podcast because I couldn't

1775
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 1: think of another thing to call the podcast. Um, it's

1776
01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 1: coming out right here on iHeart Radio. It is a

Speaker 1: deep dive into the story of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita and

1778
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,800
Speaker 1: it's cultural impact in all the ways it has been

1779
01:55:55,040 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 1: twisted to get a global culture to take every single

1780
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 1: wrong message from the original work. So that is going

1781
