Speaker 3: Two thousand and eight's Semi Pro directed by Kent Alterman.

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: I believe the only movie he's ever directed, executive produced

73
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: a lot, but the only one he's ever directed. This

74
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: one stars Will Ferrell, Whatody Harrelson, and Andre Benjam aka

75
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: Andre three thousand aka three Stacks aka one of the

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: greatest rappers of all time. The IMDb synopsis Jackie Moon,

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: the owner, coach, player of the American Basketball Association's Flint

78
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: Michigan Tropics, rallies his teammates to make their NBA dreams

79
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: come true. So this is, uh, this should be a

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: lot of fun, and I'm excited to have Dave on

81
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: again a fun guy.

82
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: Here.

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: Are you a Will Ferrell fan, Dave Shilling, Because I

84
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: think that's really important with watching, of course, a Will

85
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: Ferrell comedy, especially a sports comedy.

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I think you're right if you're

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent on board with this guy and

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: his antics and the things that he will do and say,

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: such as eating a pancake out of the dumpster. Then

90
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: you're not gonna like this movie at all because it

91
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: really hinges on whether or not you find him charming.

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: Because there's so many different characters and there's so much

93
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: going on in this movie that you don't really have

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: a hero. There's no like star to this movie because

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: it's not even the story of the movie is not

96
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: about Will Ferrell's character. I don't even know who it's

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: about to be. It's not about Jackie Moon at all.

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, you definitely have to be one hundred percent in

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 6: on the Will Ferrell antics because it's basically just him

100
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 6: acting crazy with different actors standing alongside of him throughout

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 6: the entire movie. There's maybe one human moment that Jackie

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 6: Moon has in the entire movie. It's when he's running

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 6: back and forth with Woody Harrelson. He's like, it looks

104
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 6: like you're having fun out here. That's basically the only

105
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 6: line he has that's not screamed at the top of

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 6: his lungs. But you know, he's still getting some funny

107
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 6: lines off.

108
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: There's no doubt.

109
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, he's hilarious in this movie. And I think

110
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: he single handedly makes it work because the script just

111
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: is all over the place.

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I one hundred percent agree with that.

113
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: It is funny again. You gotta like Willa, You gotta

114
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: like that character that he plays in basically all his

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: movies to some extent. I mean, this is him as

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: Jackie moon Is. I mean what it's it. It's Ricky

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: Bobby like, it's uh Ron Burgundy like I mean it is.

118
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: That's his go to character. And it's funny again for

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: for a lot of people, there is a formula to it.

120
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: But you're right, the actual like the script of the

121
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: plot or whatever you want to call it, it's sort

122
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: of flat in this one. And maybe that's a case

123
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: of him just doing too many of these similar movies,

124
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: especially sports comedies movies. I don't know, I don't know

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: where you rank this one in the Will Ferrell sports comedies,

126
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: Like what do we got semi pro? We got Talladega Knights,

127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: that's the Ricky Bobby one, Blades of Glory and kicking

128
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: and screaming, the forgotten kicking and screaming, Dave.

129
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 4: I mean, we'll get to.

130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: Everybody with this. Where do you where do you rank

131
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: this one semi pro With those other sports comedies from

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: Will I mean.

133
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: I would say Talladega Knights is probably the best one,

134
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: just because of his chemistry with John c Riley. I

135
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: would say Kicking and Screaming is probably, as you you

136
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: rightfully pointed out, not hard to remember. Are not easy

137
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: to remember. I forgot that it existed. There's also a

138
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: Noah Bombboc movie called the same thing, and sometimes I

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: forget which one has soccer in it. I would say

140
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: it's probably right smack dab in the middle, like, it's

141
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: not Kicking and Screaming, but it's not Talladega Knights. Plays

142
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: of Glory is fine. I think if they'd cast anybody

143
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: else besides the guy from Napoleon Dynamite, it would have

144
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: been a better movie. I immediately watched that movie and

145
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that guy exists, that's right, Yeah, remember that,

146
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: Remember Napoleon Dynamite, Remember Spencer's gifts, and then I'm off

147
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: to the races. But it's hard to remember that that

148
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: movie stars that guy. So yeah, this is It's fine. Yeah,

149
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: it's just not. It was a hard watch for me.

150
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: I'll just say that, Okay, JD, you would never watch

151
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 3: semi pro Is that correct?

152
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 7: My first time?

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: Okay, well, are you a Will Ferrell fan and what

154
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: did you think of this movie?

155
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 7: I am, of course, I'm a Will Farrell fan. I

156
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 7: love him. He is funny. I think that Jackie Moon

157
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 7: is a hilarious character. The problem with this movie is

158
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 7: that there's way too much Jackie Moon in it. I mean, yep,

159
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 7: it's I mean again, he's a great character, but he

160
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 7: is very, very one dimensional. And he starts the movie

161
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 7: as a buffoon, and he ends the movie as a buffoon.

162
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 7: And when he's at his lowest moment sitting in the

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 7: dumbster eating a pancake, he's still a buffoon. And to

164
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 7: compare him to another character written by the same guy,

165
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 7: Scott Armstrong in Old School Frank the Tank, Jackie is

166
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 7: all Tank and no Frank. And it would be great

167
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 7: to see if we could, if we could have some

168
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 7: of Frank's sweet vulnerability in Jackie that Will Ferrell is

169
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 7: so good at playing. I mean, we've seen him with

170
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 7: Frank the Tank. But honestly, I think a better option

171
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 7: is to just have less of Jackie Moon in this movie.

172
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 7: And you know, like, does he have to be the

173
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 7: owner and the coach and a player. I think the

174
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 7: movie is better served if he's just the owner, and

175
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 7: a lot of the scenes would still work. He comes

176
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 7: in with these Kakamamy schemes. He's a great promoter, and

177
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 7: he just gets in the way and you already have

178
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 7: a stacked cast. This is one of the best casts

179
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 7: in a comedy that I've seen in years. I mean,

180
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 7: let those other actors breathe, let him riff man like,

181
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 7: you can make Andy Richter the coach and then he

182
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 7: can move over and allow Woody to come in as

183
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 7: the player coach and then Jackie. He just every time

184
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 7: Jackie comes into the movie at that point, he's killing,

185
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 7: like like like the awesome Will Ferrell cameos that he

186
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 7: does so well. He shows up, he kills and then

187
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 7: he's gone.

188
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, right, but he stops the

189
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: plot complete late. Let me just say this. I check.

190
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: It takes eighteen minutes for Woody Harreldson to show up

191
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: in this movie. Wow, eighteen minutes. He's the hero of

192
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: the movie and it takes him eighteen minutes to even

193
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: appear for the first time.

194
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's crazy, there is. I went a little deep

195
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 7: on this one and there is a deleted scene where

196
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 7: he's playing for Kentucky whatever the Kentucky team was, and

197
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 7: colonels yeah, and he gets into a fight with a

198
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 7: fan in the front row, and that might have been helpful.

199
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 7: I think that this movie would be better if it's

200
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 7: told from Woody's perspective. I mean, he's you know, he's

201
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 7: carried a basketball movie before, right, I mean with what

202
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 7: Wesley Snipes right, So, and he's a great comedic actor

203
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 7: in his own right, so I think he could have

204
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 7: carried the movie. And if we shift the focus to

205
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 7: his perspective, I think you have a better movie.

206
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: So a little less Jackie Moon, a little more ed Monnics,

207
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: maybe even Clarence.

208
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 7: A little more everybody is what I'm a.

209
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: Little more everybody. Yeah, Okay, that's interesting. Lee. This was

210
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: also your first time watching semipro. What did you think,

211
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: just Averroll?

212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: I had high expectations going in because I know Will

213
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: Ferrell is a funny kind of guy, almost like a

214
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 5: Mike Meyers type of character that every time he does

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 5: something that's kind of goofy. But I found the movie

216
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 5: sometimes just being a total, like complete train wreck of

217
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 5: just like him making funny comments and things like that,

218
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: and then it was sort of trying to be serious

219
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 5: at the same time about the merging with the NBA,

220
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, so, I guess this movie

221
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 5: serious right now. But then you know when he gets

222
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 5: ejected out of the game, you know, he gets ejected

223
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: out of the game for calling the rep you know, girl,

224
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 5: kill your family, and he goes, that's.

225
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: It, You're out of here.

226
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: So for what for what?

227
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: I didn't do anything.

228
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 5: I'm just like, I'm laughing and laughing at that. But

229
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 5: then you know, when they start talking about the merger

230
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 5: and they're trying to join the NBA, I'm just like, ah, Like,

231
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: it's almost like they're trying to make this a serious

232
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 5: movie with just this one character who just can't sort

233
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 5: of keep on script and he just keeps going crazy.

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 5: I think it would be hilarious to shoot a movie

235
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: with Will Ferrell because he's such a funny guy. But

236
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: I just I enjoyed the first like I don't know,

237
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 5: thirty five forty minutes. But then I was like, this

238
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: movie needs to decide which lane it's going in, either

239
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: just a completely stupid, goofy movie or some sort of

240
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: serious angle with funny lines in it, and I found

241
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: it was kind of wrestling with that throughout the whole time, but.

242
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: Like wrestling with the bear. Yeah exactly.

243
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

244
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 5: So I was kind of confused because, you know, like

245
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: when I make the Mike Myersosten Powers reference, like, you know,

246
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: it's just goofy and stupid the whole way through. But

247
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 5: in this movie, I just found myself sort of thinking,

248
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: which direction are we going here? I'm not quite sure.

249
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: I mean, he's such a funny guy that he could

250
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: have made the whole movie just even funnier, I thought,

251
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 5: but the serious stuff that he sort of spliced in

252
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: just didn't seem to fit with where the movie was going.

253
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: Tas what did you.

254
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Think, Well, he just brought up the bear. I think

255
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: he may have been the star of the show. I

256
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: think his very measured movements, the guy who was playing that.

257
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: I loved it because it wasn't a bear, didn't feel

258
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: like a bear, and that made it silly, and that

259
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: it was a real human in there, and you could

260
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: really tell that it was. It was terrible acting, but

261
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved the bear every single time. I kind

262
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: of agree with Lee, I think we should have gone

263
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: I think we kind of should have gone Dodgeball. Uh,

264
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, and and I think he could have been

265
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more like Vince Vaughan. I guess what

266
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: JD is saying, a little bit more, show some vulnerability,

267
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: show a little bit more, show some levels. Uh. And

268
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: I think but but like Dodgeball, where we could have

269
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: just gone full on silly, like the eyeliner scene for intimidation.

270
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: You know that that screamed to me, Dodgeball, I could

271
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: use some more of that, just go just go full on.

272
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: But uh, I think the hero, like Dave, Dave was

273
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: wondering about I'm going bear, I'm going there.

274
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's crazy in real life? That bear

275
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: went on to kill its training. I mean, it's it's

276
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: pretty well like it happened. It didn't happen during the

277
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: filming of the movie or anything like that. But like

278
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: I think weeks or months later, they were doing some

279
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: promotional video to show this bear off. Hey, this bear

280
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: was just in semipro. You want to book him?

281
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 4: Uh?

282
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: And this like this seven hundred pounds, seven foot grizzly bear.

283
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: I guess it. Like I think it bid its trainer

284
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: in the neck.

285
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: That was a real bear.

286
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was.

287
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: I that shows you how good the acting was. No

288
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,239
Speaker 2: Oscar for the bear. Uh huh was for oscars?

289
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: You thought that bear was this what's the guy's name

290
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: that does goll them? No, that's a real bear.

291
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: I had to figure out how to be a bear.

292
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: I had to be a bear, so I put a

293
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: suit on it as a bed. I'm a bear now.

294
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: Will Ferrell never never actually filmed with the bear too. Yeah,

295
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: it was like their their handlers and their trainers and

296
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: stuff like that. But crazy little uh PostScript to this

297
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: this movie that the bear went on to the killer.

298
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: That's another thing about this movie is that bear scene

299
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: just stops the plot again. It's just like, what what

300
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: are we supposed to be carrying a out fourth place?

301
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: And now we're just gonna do the bear thing and

302
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: the commissioner shows up. The commissioner of the ABA is

303
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: David Keckner, who's a great and anchorman. He shows up,

304
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: but he's like, you guys did a great job. I mean,

305
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: other than the fact that the bears loose murdering people.

306
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: But if you've sold out the arena, here's the thing,

307
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: you're not going to the NBA, all right? Well, I

308
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: actually why happening in this movie. Why is this going on?

309
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: But I hated that part too, because, yeah, the whole

310
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: thing is like, Okay, the commissioner's gonna show up for

311
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: this game. We've been lying about our attendance numbers. We've

312
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: been juicing those numbers, so we've got to actually get

313
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: whatever it is, like two thousand people. Here he comes

314
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: up with the bear idea, you know, on on live

315
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: television with with Dick there and but but then he's

316
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: gonna do this after the game, and the commissioner doesn't

317
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: show up to the game till after the game. It's like,

318
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: hold on, if he hadn't done any sort of bear stunt,

319
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: then people would have been gone and chrisher would have

320
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: never known people were actually there. I don't know why

321
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: that drove me nuts.

322
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe the commissioner hates basketball. Yeah, no, I

323
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: don't want to see it and stuff. This is boring.

324
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a bear. Well, in that case, let

325
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: me get my hat.

326
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Maybe I should defend the plot. Maybe it was already

327
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: decided he didn't It was already decided they were out

328
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: of the league, so he didn't have to watch the basketball.

329
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: Oh well, that takes for writers out there. That takes

330
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: all the steaks out of it, right if the if,

331
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: the if. The commissioner shows up and he's like, until

332
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: I got here, you know, I thought we were going

333
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: to keep you around, but then you let the bear loose,

334
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: and now we're gonna have to cut you out of

335
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: the NBA. The commissioner of the NBA does not want

336
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: people letting bears loose in their arenas. That would have

337
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: at least like made that plot point matter and have

338
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: been the result of Jackie's stupidity. Instead, it was just

339
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, right.

340
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's it is funny this movie how much it

341
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: is linked to the real life merger. I had forgotten

342
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: this in watching it again, of the ABA and and

343
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: those teams you know, folding in to the NBA back

344
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: in the seventies and some of them absolving and stuff

345
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: like that. It is and like we're using real team

346
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 3: names as we see, you know, the Pacers, the Nuggets,

347
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: the Spurs, the Nets. Those were the four that went

348
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: in in real life. And we had other teams like

349
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: the Spirits and the Colonels and stuff. It's a I

350
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: had forgotten how like sort of real like based in

351
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: reality this movie was and I will say I thought

352
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: they did a pretty good job with the seventies vibe

353
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: of this movie. I mean, look, I was born in

354
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty JD. You're gonna have to speak to this one.

355
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: But I thought overall it was believable.

356
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: No, real quick. I found one mistake, okay with this

357
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: with the ABA NBA stuff. Anaheim is one of the

358
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: teams that they play Anaheim had already moved to Utah

359
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: by the time of the ABA NBA merger. They were

360
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: the Utah Stars. That is incorrect. If there are any

361
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: ABA nerds out there think I got this wrong, get

362
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 2: a life. But also I'm right. This is that bummed

363
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: me out, that's right.

364
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 4: Okay.

365
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: So so you're saying, yeah, because we see Anaheim, I

366
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 3: think they're called the Amigos, right.

367
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: Yes, they were the Amigos and they moved to la

368
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: and became the Stars and then they moved to Utah

369
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: Utah Stars. Okay, okay, sorry about the interruption, but that

370
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: was it really bummed me out.

371
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 7: Well, since where, since we're checking facts, did Patty LaBelle

372
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 7: invent the alley Oop? That's what I was wondering.

373
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: Well, she's not dead, that's well, probably want to she

374
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: didn't missus Moon didn't sire a child that looked like

375
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: Will Ferrell.

376
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 3: The okay, I will say, in watching this immediately, it's like,

377
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: this is really a basketball version of Slapshot, you know,

378
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: the seventies, which I think iconic sports movie with Paul Newman,

379
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: And it's got the Major League vibe to it as well, right,

380
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: which which I guess when did Major League come out

381
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 3: in the nineties, let's say eighties, eighties, in the eighties,

382
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: a lot late eighties.

383
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that, David?

384
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: I mean, is that what they're sort of going for here,

385
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: like to some extent a Slapshot major League vibe?

386
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so, because the whole storyline with WII

387
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 2: Harrelson's character with Monix feels directly out of those kind

388
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: of realistic sports movies. I was thinking a lot about

389
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: Major League after the movie was over, talking about it

390
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: with my girlfriend because it has such a clear similarity

391
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: to that story where Jake Taylor, the catcher in Major League,

392
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: comes back. His knees are all busted, but he wants

393
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: to play in Cleveland because his ex wife played by

394
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: Renee Russo, was there and then she's got a new

395
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 2: guy and like there's a lot of that kind of

396
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: dynamic that they're parodying in SIMI pro The parody, of course,

397
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 2: is that the new Husban spend is maybe more in

398
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: love with Woody Harrelson's character than he is with his wife.

399
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: And there isn't an infamous scene in this film that

400
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: I will tiptoe over as gracefully as possible. But let's say,

401
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, the word cuckolds comes intoto my mind

402
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: when I think about that scene. I'll tell I'll let

403
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: you take it from there.

404
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you mean when he's just sitting there and watching.

405
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 6: And stuff and stuff exactly and stuff. Yeah, I mean,

406
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 6: when you think about it, I hadn't thought about much

407
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 6: of the b plot of a Major League but it's

408
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 6: exactly the same, right. It's like they are possibly going

409
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 6: to be losing their team if they don't finish with

410
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 6: such and such a record because the.

411
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 4: Current owner of the team wants to move into a

412
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: new city.

413
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 6: We've got the old broken down player coming back trying

414
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: to rekindle a love And yeah, I mean, thinking about it,

415
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: it's not too different in general at all than Major League.

416
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: And I mean I think in I feel like in

417
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 4: uh slap shot.

418
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 6: There's probably the we're gonna be leaving or our team's

419
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 6: gonna be shut down sort of angle as well. Right,

420
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 6: you always got to have something for the players to

421
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 6: be fighting for and fighting against them. And you know,

422
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: I think it pays off a little when they're celebrating

423
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 6: at the end, just yelling we'red number four, we're number four,

424
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 6: like they've been playing for fourth place this entire movie.

425
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Imaginative Major League had someone else playing the

426
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: owner of the Cleveland Indians. Let's say the owner of

427
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Indians in Major League was John Lovitz, And

428
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: the movie starts with John Lovett singing an R and

429
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: B song. Yeah, and then you don't see Tom Barringer

430
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: or Charlie Sheen for about a half an hour.

431
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's and it's.

432
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: Just like scenes of John Levitt's wrestling a bear or

433
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: eating out of a dumpster. It's like, well, what about

434
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 2: the baseball? What about the rest of the team. One

435
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: of my favorite parts about Major League is the characters.

436
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: Is the the wackiness of all of the characters on

437
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 2: the team, from Serrano to the the old timey pitcher

438
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: who puts the vastly in on the baseball Wesley Snipes'

439
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: is Willie Mays Hayes. It's such a fun kind of

440
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 2: group of unique figures that you fall in love with

441
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: the team with SIMI pro I know that there's a

442
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: foreign guy. I know that there is a guy who's

443
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: maybe less indowed than everyone else. I know that there's

444
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: there's Andre Benjamin is in it. But like we don't

445
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: really get to know the players, the characters. You don't

446
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: care if they win the Flint trop Flint Mega Bowl.

447
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: But I guess that's kind of the joke, right, is

448
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: that you don't care about any of it.

449
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I couldn't even You're right, Like I

450
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 3: can't even name outside of Clarence and Monis. Like I

451
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 3: don't even know the other names of the players on

452
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 3: the teams Forkitash, yeah, Lithuania. Yeah, they can't speak English.

453
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: It's like it's a great point. You don't really you

454
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: don't any for any reason really want to root for

455
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: some of them because you don't know them at all.

456
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: When you when you said less end out is it

457
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: are you talking, uh Pepper, are you talking Twiggy Twiggy Twiggy? Okay,

458
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: because it was it was sort of hinted that Pepper

459
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: as well.

460
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: Oh the announcer, Yeah, you might have a problem, but

461
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: his wife doesn't. That's right, that's right, right, doesn't have

462
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: a problem with it at all.

463
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: You said, let's ask this question. You brought it up.

464
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: The song, the the music that we hear right off

465
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: the top. It's played multiple times throughout this movie and JD,

466
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: you're you're our music. Go to guy here. So on

467
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: a scale of one to ten, how much of a

468
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 3: banger is love Me Sexy?

469
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: Ten?

470
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 4: Ten?

471
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 3: I think you're right.

472
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: I still catch a.

473
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 7: Great song, and I think it was it was. It

474
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 7: came out of Will Ferrell improving during the first script

475
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 7: rating right is? I think I read something like that.

476
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 3: And that's what I've been. That's what I've heard too. That.

477
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: They then sent it to Nile Rogers, the you know,

478
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: legendary American musician. They sent him. Yeah, Will Ferrell just

479
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: improvising at this table read and he composed around it.

480
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: It's incredible because the movie is totally buried by this song.

481
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 2: Starts with the song. It comes back ten or fifteen

482
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: minutes into the movie where he's playing at the club.

483
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: It comes back again. Then it's a plot point when

484
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: he goes to heaven and meets his mom. Like it

485
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: basically overshadows everything else because one it's so funny and

486
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: so good and two because it's in the movie ninety times. Yeah,

487
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: for it to be an improv is is crazy. But

488
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: this is you know what Will Ferrell does. Like this

489
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: Eurovision movie he put out or is coming out on Netflix.

490
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: He also wrote a song for that, and like fake

491
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: songs and that kind of stuff seems like a like

492
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: a a fun thing for him to do. That happens

493
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: in a lot of his movies. He's got a great voice,

494
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: he does, he really does.

495
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: Like that's what my wife said, nors like, is that

496
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: him singing? I'm like, I'm pretty sure it is. It

497
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: sounds like She's like, he's an amazing voice.

498
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: I cannot stop singing that song. It is driving me insane.

499
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: I had to. I don't remember the Batfight video from

500
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: Funny Er Die him and Craig Robinson and he does

501
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: a song about fighting people with the bat. I had

502
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: to watch that before I went to bed, just to

503
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: not sing Love Me Sex. Now I have Batfight in

504
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: my head and now I have to find another song

505
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: to dislodge that from my brain.

506
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 6: Well, he sings at the end of a step Brothers

507
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: as well. If you want to get portivo lare going right?

508
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I'm sure that's a real earworm. I know

509
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: all the lyrics to that one.

510
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 3: I I just want to be in a not I'm

511
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: getting too old so and look, we're not going anywhere

512
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 3: right now with a quarantine. But I do want to

513
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 3: be in a club or you know, at a bar,

514
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: and I want love to be Sexy to be played.

515
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: The first thing I'm gonna put on the jukebox when

516
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: this is over me right, I'm sliding into the bar.

517
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: I'm putting a couple quarters in and I'm gonna Bepep

518
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: beat Love Me Sexy.

519
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would bring the house down because it's so

520
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 3: damn good. It is really, really good. Leo wanted to

521
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 3: ask you what we were talking about Jackie and his

522
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: promotional ideas. What was his best one? Was it leaping

523
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: over a line of cheerleaders in roller skates, was it

524
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 3: wrestling the live bear in a cage? Or was it

525
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: the dressing his whole team up in sort of flamingo

526
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: and seahorse costumes for a halftime dance routine, which one

527
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: would you want to go seately?

528
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: Well, the roller skates one, because it kind of reminded

529
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 5: me of Bernie a little bit when we had you know,

530
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: was it, I think a whoopsie of the year when

531
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: Bernie tried to do that flip over the other mascots

532
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 5: and he landed on one and.

533
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 3: Just the Miami Heat mascot Bernie.

534
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, he's got up and celebrated as if he

535
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 5: cleared them all and he was a star. And that's

536
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 5: kind of what happened with Will Ferrell here, like he

537
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 5: over and he kind of lands on that last one,

538
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: but it's you know, he kind of just celebrating as

539
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 5: if he's done it. I mean, it's a bit of

540
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 5: a it's a little bit different, but it's just it's

541
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 5: almost a little bit creepy. The cheerleader stuff in this

542
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 5: movie too, you know, like a couple of times, a

543
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 5: couple of references they make. I'm just like, you know,

544
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: it's like that didn't quite fit the narrative, I thought, but.

545
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: If it doesn't hold up in this movie from they.

546
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: Drop the downpoint, Yeah, they dropped a hard R word

547
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: like three times in the spare of fifteen seconds a

548
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: few minutes into this movie and then you're right, yeah,

549
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 3: the the cheerleaders or wherever you want to call him.

550
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, twelve years it's only twelve years old, and it's

551
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: already like why would we say that? Come on?

552
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and just the sort of the way that they

553
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 5: were portrayed as well. Again, I know it's a you know,

554
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 5: it's a comedy, it's a fictional thing, but it just

555
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: sort of it just you know, it did feel a

556
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 5: little bit awkward there. But yeah, the dressing up in costumes,

557
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 5: I didn't sort of find all that funny. I'm in

558
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: it was weird. And the bear, you know, we kind

559
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: of but yeah, the roll of skiding is kind of funny.

560
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: I suppose. Yeah, there's like a fifty five million dollar

561
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: budget I think for this movie, and I'm convinced like

562
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: a good thirty million went into costumes.

563
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: Are Amazings are incredible?

564
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

565
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 6: If they spent the entire budget on costumes, just for

566
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 6: the scene where Jackie Moon is being told he's no

567
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 6: longer going to be the coach while wearing a gigantic

568
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 6: sun costume, Like, if that one costs thirty million, I

569
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 6: would say money well spent because I could just watch

570
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 6: him try to navigate walking around while wearing that celestial body.

571
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: That was great for me.

572
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was one of the misses for me. I

573
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 7: think those costumes are hilarious. But for that scene, it's

574
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 7: basically the scene where they fire him as coach right like,

575
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 7: and and he has the freak out. He calls them

576
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 7: all names and stuff, but they stay tight on Will

577
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 7: Ferrell's face. But it would have been so much funnier

578
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 7: if him and Andrea Benjamin had swapped costumes and he

579
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 7: just because there's he's having this basically breakdown. It's it

580
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 7: kind of gets serious, but it would have been would

581
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 7: have been so much funnier if you would actually see

582
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 7: the costume that he's wearing. But you don't see they

583
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 7: actually cut the costume out of it when he's having

584
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 7: his freak out. So and as far as the as

585
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 7: far as the hard rs and uh and the boob

586
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 7: jokes and all that, you know, Uh, it's I found

587
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 7: it really cheap. As you guys were saying, it's just like, hey,

588
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 7: we're gonna set this in the seventies, so let's just

589
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 7: go for it. Let's just say all this stuff that

590
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 7: we're not allowed to say now because in two thousand

591
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 7: and eight. I don't. I'm I'm pretty sure you couldn't

592
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 7: say the say the R word then either, And so

593
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 7: you know, and then there's a there's there's other jokes

594
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 7: that just fall flat. It's like, oh, what's what what's

595
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 7: that you got there? Oh, it's a fond due, it's

596
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 7: the latest craze and they're playing pong. And and the

597
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 7: creepy Michael Jackson joke that then nobody thought back then,

598
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 7: nobody thought Michael Jackson was creepy in the seventies.

599
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: I don't think. I mean, I guess that was the joke.

600
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I think he's creepy, you're weird. He's

601
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 2: just a child. Yeah. Uh My problem is is that.

602
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: But also, how many scenes and jokes in this movie

603
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: were totally irrelevant? Yeah, like that scene you're timing with

604
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: the fun due. That's that's the poker scene right where

605
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: they have the gun with no bullets in it, that

606
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: has one bullet in it. That movie or that scene

607
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with the plot of the movie. Nothing, nothing,

608
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: Not a line that's like, oh, Jackie, are you worried

609
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: about the NBA merger? Nothing like that. It's just tim

610
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Meadows shows up with a broken arm for no reason.

611
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: He gets shot in the arm. We don't know if

612
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: he's okay or not because he doesn't come back in

613
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: the movie at all point.

614
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: We don't see him at all.

615
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: Oh that's all I kept thinking watching that scene, and

616
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 3: then after the movie was like, I feel like they

617
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: just put that scene in because they're like, let's put

618
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: Tim metals in a scene in this movie. You're like,

619
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: all right, well, oh, I was throw them a poke game. Okay, yeah,

620
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: I bet.

621
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: I bet there's a payoff that got cut out. Because

622
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: there's characters that are in the background of scenes played

623
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: by recognizable comedic actors, like the two wheelchair people in

624
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: that in that people in the wheelchairs that are in

625
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: the in the stands, they're recognizable character actors, Charlie Yee

626
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: and Paul Rust. They don't have any lines. They're just

627
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 2: in the movie. They've got to probably have had some

628
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: sort of storyline that just got cut out. Tim Meadows

629
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: probably comes back and gets a payoff for that scene,

630
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: but it's just not in the movie because it was

631
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: probably not testing well, it was probably too long. It's

632
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: only ninety minutes, guys. So this is like probably cut

633
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: to the bone of a movie that you know, had

634
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: a lot of improvisation and a lot of extemporaneous dialogue.

635
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 6: Well, maybe the reason they had that scene is because

636
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 6: they had to get the classic basketball movie line in

637
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 6: there's nothing in a rule book. This time it's there's

638
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 6: nothing in a rule book that says you can't play drunk.

639
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: Well, actually, yes, there is the fine.

640
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 6: And then he just talks about, you know how he

641
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 6: had like a thirty rebound game while hammered during during

642
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 6: a game.

643
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 4: But I guess I don't know.

644
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 6: By the end of watching all these basketball movies, we'll

645
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 6: have a long rule book of rules that aren't in there.

646
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 6: No dogs, No our dogs are allowed. You don't have

647
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 6: to show up before a game to play in the game.

648
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 6: You just gotta be on the roster. You can switch

649
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 6: coaches at halftime, and you can't play drunk, but you

650
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 6: really can.

651
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: Well, I think those are all the things that are

652
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 2: real for sure. Yeahs JR. Smith, it says are true,

653
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: and you'll be like, yep.

654
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: And to keep the you know, the basketball movie movie

655
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: cliches going, we did have a scene JD where they

656
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: were playing basketball without a basketball.

657
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: That always happens to basketball movies.

658
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: Just take away the ball this time, Yeah, this time

659
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: he's ed Bonix. Just what do you hear? Someon just

660
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: straight up stabs the ball and then boots it. But

661
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: we get the scene. The important thing in a basketball

662
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: movie is to play basketball without a basketball.

663
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 7: Now, you guys have played basketball? Is this a thing?

664
00:32:59,640 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: Like?

665
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 6: No?

666
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: Okay, right, it feels like the most boomer thing is like,

667
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: it's really about the movement, you know, the cutting it.

668
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: This is the beautiful symmetry of basketball. The ball is

669
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: not important. Now that's not true. The ball is the

670
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: most important thing. Actually, it's like, oh, let's try to

671
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: play baseball without the ball. Let's see what happens. Guys,

672
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: you can't do that.

673
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 6: That'd be a great movie in every baseball or a

674
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 6: great scene in every baseball movie if they have to

675
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 6: pretend to play without a ball. There's a picture just

676
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 6: winging it in a batter, swinging it nothing, players running

677
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 6: out in the field, tossing it around.

678
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: It's all up to interpretation. And they're like, no, I'm

679
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: pretty sure that was a strike. No, No, I hit

680
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: a home run.

681
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 7: Was anybody else disappointed in that scene? Because that's the

682
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 7: fit that's the puke scene, right, and it's the puke

683
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 7: play that comes back. But in that scene, I'm probably alone,

684
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 7: But was anyone else disappointed that you didn't actually see

685
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 7: him puke on Yes, Woodie, you had to see him puke.

686
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 7: I mean you've seen Will Ferrell puke on screen? How

687
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 7: many times over the course of your life. I wanted

688
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 7: to see an obscene amount of vomit come out of

689
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 7: that man?

690
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why why was this the one moment where semi

691
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: pro shows restraint?

692
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

693
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: Every other scene in the movie is like, what's the

694
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: dumbest thing we can do right now? And let's do it?

695
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

696
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: vomit And there's such.

697
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 7: A too, right, I mean, there's there's the gurgling of

698
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 7: the stomach and the just it goes on and on

699
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 7: and on and on, and there's no payoffs.

700
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm gonna again, I'm gonna kind of guess that

701
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: there was a scene where you see it and they

702
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: tested it and they got cut out. Yeah, someone in

703
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: some like mall in Arizona or Missouri or something. The

704
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 2: cards came back. The puke scenes grows. I don't want

705
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: to see them puke on the guy, and so they

706
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 2: just played in a wide shot and get it over.

707
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: It's really stupid. It's really stupid, but it's probably exactly

708
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: what happened. Some people just don't just can't stand it.

709
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: It's happened to us. There was a fan in Atlanta

710
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Hawks game that puked court side and he was caught

711
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: on tape, and we kept showing it on our show

712
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over, and it was

713
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: very polarizing. Absolutely loved it. He wouldn't let a day

714
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: go by without talking about it.

715
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 2: If you, if you could do the show over again,

716
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 2: would you not constantly show a scene of a guy puking?

717
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: Do you think maybe things would have gone a different way?

718
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 2: At point?

719
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 4: Should have made it part of our intro.

720
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: I think starter. Can I say that word on the show.

721
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: As long as you add to it?

722
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 2: Yees, okay good.

723
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 3: We also tried to make ourselves puke on camera all

724
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: the time. Let's not forget. We made Lee eat you know,

725
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: ten different food meals in a show. I drank about

726
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: two leaders of eggnog and after that, didn't you I

727
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: did puke as we were going basically fading to black

728
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: at the end of the show straight up puked in

729
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 3: my proudest moment.

730
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like that puk scene until the no

731
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: puke though. I mean I liked the It was a

732
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: change of Will Ferrell kind of you know, the non

733
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: talking acting, you know, just the silent acting. It was

734
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: good other than the gurgles.

735
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: Mimo to HBO Max release the Kent Alterman cut.

736
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: With the puke, which tas will start with you which

737
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 3: secondary character or whatever sort of cameo in this movie

738
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: did you think stole the show? Who is your favorite

739
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: you know, secondary character?

740
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: Well, I guess, I guess I got to take the

741
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: bear unless he's the main character. I'm not sure.

742
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: What about an actual cub.

743
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: It's so funny, you know what, I can't get out

744
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: of my head. You guys can't get the song out

745
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: of your head. I can't get Twiggy while he was

746
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: playing a video game. It's it's a throwaway scene, but

747
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: these they enter the locker room and he's playing a

748
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: video game or something, and he's got his tongue out

749
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: of his mouth sideways, like he's turned it ninety degrees

750
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: and I can't stop. That tongue is just in my

751
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: brain And anytime.

752
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's just it's like he's that tongue is

753
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: in my brain. It's such a weird thing my brain.

754
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: So anytime I'm thinking about a secondary character, I can't

755
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: get that. He's like he's trying to it's a little quirky,

756
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: dumb thing, and you see it for literally two seconds.

757
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: But that sideways tongue, man, Twiggy, Twiggy got me. I

758
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: mean that that whole thing is stupid too. To Twiggy,

759
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: Woody Harrelson Beef, that's not I hate you. Go go

760
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: lock yourself, you know, Like, I mean that That's what

761
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: I what I really wanted, was a real foe on

762
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: another team. I think that's what this movie was missing too,

763
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: Like was some guy from the the Kentucky Colonels or

764
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: somebody that they were gonna overtake for fourth place, like

765
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: from The Spurs.

766
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 2: I guess there's a guy on the Spurs who shows

767
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: up at the end of the movie and is like, Oh,

768
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: welcome to the team Coffee Black, And it's like, who

769
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: is this guy? Number one? Number two? Why does he

770
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: hate Coffee Black so much? Number three? What does Coffee decide? Oh,

771
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go play for the Tropics at the end

772
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: of the movie. His whole story arc has been how

773
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: he wants to play in the NBA and be a

774
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: champion and earn it. And then he's like, you know what,

775
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 2: never mind, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go back to

776
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: the Steve. It's about to fold blow my entire career. Okay,

777
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: maybe it's a noble decision. And then at the end

778
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: of the movie, coach to the Spurs comes up and

779
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: he's like, never mind, who's go on over, We'll see

780
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 2: you practice. Like, what is happening in this movie? Nothing matters?

781
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: You traded himself back to the Tropics.

782
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 3: Sure s yeah, he's.

783
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: Just nothing in the rule book says you can't choose.

784
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. Yeah, you're right.

785
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: The Spurs coach does welcome him back to the team.

786
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: I guess he was impressed with what the seven or

787
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: eight alley oops that Andre three thousand threw down.

788
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: You have to teach us this play.

789
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say correct me if I'm wrong.

790
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 4: Andre three thousand.

791
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: He never played. I mean, he's probably too big a

792
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 3: name anyway, He never played in a celebrity All Star game, right,

793
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: doesn't sound familiar?

794
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he did.

795
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: Actually I don't remember him in a game, but he

796
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: he should have played. He is super eth I know

797
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 3: he's not the tallest guy in the world, but looks

798
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: like he's a decent little basketball player.

799
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: On me, we need to find somebody who's an expert

800
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: on the Celebrity game. There are people out there who

801
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: know all the MVPs. You know, all the players? Wow?

802
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: Not I not I Did any of you guys ever

803
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: play in one? Oh?

804
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 4: How dare you bring that up?

805
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: That? Is that a contentious subject?

806
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 3: We pretend to make it one. Yeah, we tried to.

807
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: We were pretty positive we were going to get an

808
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: invite to the twenty sixteen Celebrity All Star Game when

809
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 3: it was up in our hometown at Toronto, Canada.

810
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: But that's what I would have thought too, is like,

811
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: for sure they're gonna get these guys in there and

812
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: play in the game. Nope, No, nothing, no, but they

813
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: should have.

814
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 3: They should have. I mean, at Lee thinks he maybe played.

815
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: I don't remember him ever play, but.

816
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 5: He's performed at the Old Star Weekend. Say, maybe that

817
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 5: was what it was.

818
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: I'm honestly looking, well, what what's the better nickname for Clarence?

819
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 3: For Andre? Three? Thousands character is it? Is it downtown

820
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 3: or coffee Black, Dave? Which one's better.

821
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's hard for me to remember exactly what his name,

822
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: his full name was at the beginning because there's so

823
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 2: many things. It's like downtown blah blah blah blah blah

824
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: blah blah. Coffy black just rolls out that tongue. Yeah,

825
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: it's easy to remember. I love my coffee black, Coffee black,

826
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: I got it, It's in my head easy, j D.

827
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: Would you rather attend a free gerbil night or dime

828
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: beer night?

829
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 7: Dime here?

830
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: Come on, man, No, it's dangerous at a very night. Yeah, exactly,

831
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: it's time a beer.

832
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: I saw Darren Ravel tweet just before jumping on here

833
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 3: that this day in nineteen seventy four, the Cleveland Indians

834
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 3: held ten cent beer Night and it worked out as

835
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 3: well as you would think it would. We had there

836
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: slashers and streakers and players getting hit in the head

837
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 3: and the Indians had to forfeit the game. But so, JD,

838
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: you would have been one of those streakers. I guess yeah.

839
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: I think it's fine if you do ten cent beer

840
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: night as long as you stop serving beer in the third.

841
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 3: Inning, right, right, right right, can't can't let it continue?

842
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: Is there any random other observations you want to make

843
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: about this movie? I have a few, but Trey, is

844
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 3: there anything else? So we need to address about semi pro.

845
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 6: If you're talking about secondary characters. I think Andy Daly

846
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 6: as Dick Pepperfield.

847
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 4: Is great, incredible. He's so good.

848
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 6: Every line out of his mouth is basically a laugh. Also,

849
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 6: when you know Jackie's pitching the idea of wrestling a bear,

850
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 6: it's just so funny to me. When he sits down

851
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 6: and he's like, all right, Dick pepper It's like Dick Pepperfield,

852
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 6: he just can't get any respect from anybody. And that's

853
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 6: just the role, honestly that Andy Daly is built to

854
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 6: play like. He's almost that sort of a guy in

855
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 6: every sort and a lot of the things he shows

856
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 6: up in and.

857
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 4: He's he's hilarious in this.

858
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: He's like if chick Hern was just an unhappy person,

859
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: but you couldn't show it, like if chick Hern just

860
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 2: had a horrible personal life and had to smile all

861
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: the time. Like he's incredible in this movie. I think

862
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 2: he's the best part of this movie, as great as

863
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: Will Farrell is in is in this movie? Andy Day

864
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: like steals every scene he's in.

865
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: He's so good, Lee, Lee, What did you think about

866
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 3: the ending of this movie, like the actual basketball end? Yeah,

867
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 3: I know you've had a lot of thoughts on previous

868
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 3: movies we've watched and how they decide to end a

869
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: close game. What do you think about this one? Jack

870
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 3: Moon at the free throw line that's the first, misses

871
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 3: the second, but Manx was there for the putback game winner.

872
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

873
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 5: Well, we talked about basketball movie cliches and this one's

874
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 5: kind of different. I mean, they win by a point

875
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 5: at the buzzer, of course, but the way it happened

876
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 5: was is incredible because he not only hits the first

877
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 5: free throw, it's a granny granny style free throw. But

878
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 5: the weird part of this is it looked to me

879
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 5: like he was trying to make it though on the

880
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 5: second one, which would have tied the game, but instead

881
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 5: he misses and Monos comes in for the incredible putback

882
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 5: that puts the ball back up and drops in and

883
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 5: they win by a point. So I'm like, that's obviously

884
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 5: the much better outcome because they get the result, But

885
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 5: it seemed to me that he was he was trying

886
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 5: to just tie the game, which was which was weird.

887
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 5: But also you know the way just the motion that

888
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 5: he goes through there, the bending and the crutching and

889
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 5: the squatting and that he kisses the ball. I mean

890
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 5: that stuff was just like I found it funny, but

891
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 5: just super super weird as well, just how far they

892
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 5: went considering again, like the movie was trying to sort

893
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 5: of sell itself almost as a serious movie at this point, so.

894
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 4: I thought it did not go over well.

895
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: Sequence is sharp beautifully, it looks really cool when he's

896
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: spinning the ball and the framing of his crotches, it's

897
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: just done.

898
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: But that's what I mean.

899
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 5: Do you think it was like that was needed to

900
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 5: have the underneath him as he's squatting down and you

901
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 5: can see up his shorts and.

902
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 2: It was more than necessary, was moving out there.

903
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, But so yeah, I'm glad again we've seen

904
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 5: yet another different way to win a basketball game, another

905
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 5: crazy one. So add that to the list and that's

906
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 5: so that's good. I'm excited that we haven't had to

907
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 5: double up yet. But yeah, again, I just was a

908
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 5: little bit confused because I was like, I think he's

909
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 5: trying to make this and he missed it, and Manics

910
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 5: comes in and I'm like, okay, yeah, I mean great,

911
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 5: but yeah, weird.

912
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 2: I have a theory. The theory is this the end

913
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: of this basketball game. There will never be another Flint

914
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: Tropics game till the end of time. The team falls.

915
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: It's over for Jackie Moon, It's I older for the

916
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: Flint Tropics. He wanted overtime. He wanted to extend the

917
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 2: lifetime of his team, keep the game going. He didn't

918
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: want to give up on the dream, so he was

919
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: going to tie the game and then Monis ruined it

920
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 2: for him. That would have been a great way to

921
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 2: end it. He's like, what are you doing? We're gonna

922
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: play a whole other five minutes of basketball and you

923
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: ended it's that's not a bad idea.

924
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: Actually, I know.

925
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm a writer, I know what I'm.

926
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 6: I'm shocked that Jackie was honestly even able to miss

927
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 6: the free throw because the hoop looked like it was three.

928
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 4: Times as big as the ball was. Maybe the anytime

929
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 4: they showed a close up on the rim. Yeah.

930
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 3: I in watching that scene, that that ending, I did

931
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 3: have flashbacks to like being up super late watching the

932
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 3: late West Coast game. Here on the East Coast, it's

933
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 3: like one one thirty in the morning. You sort of

934
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 3: just want to go to bed, get ready for the

935
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 3: show the next day, and you're just praying that it

936
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 3: doesn't go to overtime. Because that's where I was. I

937
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 3: was like, just don't hit this. I don't want another

938
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: ten minutes of this movie. I know the Flint Tropics

939
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 3: want to keep their their franchise alive for another five day,

940
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 3: but I'm done with this movie. Please just please just

941
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: miss it. And of course he didn't, and we got

942
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 3: the game.

943
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: That's how I felt about sports when I was living

944
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 2: on the East Coast, is do I get to be over?

945
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: I hate sports. It's horrible. It's so sleepy.

946
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: It gets difficult when it gets very, very late at night.

947
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: What I was thinking was, why why wouldn't Woody Harrelson

948
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: get a dunk in? Just because it's over the top end,

949
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: because it's a repeat of White Man Can't Jump finishing

950
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: it off with the dunk. I thought I thought he

951
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: was going to sky in. I thought it was happening

952
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: like jumping from the three point line for a jammy.

953
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just sort of does the old sort of

954
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 3: like it's not even a tip, really right, he sort

955
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 3: of catches it.

956
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: I guess there's got bad knees. He can't jump, Yeah,

957
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: can't jump.

958
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: I thought the old dog had one jump in him.

959
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna find out later today, hopefully the NBA returned

960
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: to play plan and we know a lot of the

961
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 3: details they've been leaked from shams and wolves and all that.

962
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 3: But do you think, Dave, that we should incorporate somehow

963
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 3: the Flint Michigan Mega Bowl into the resuming of play.

964
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 3: I mean that could maybe even call the play in

965
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 3: game that.

966
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: I mean, there are teams that are being invited to

967
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 2: this this resuming of play that probably shouldn't be for

968
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 2: various reasons. So yeah, why not give give a little

969
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: pizzazz and and a little Jackie Moon style promotion to

970
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: some New Orleans Pelicans games. Huh, why don't we get

971
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 2: Zion in one of those those unicorns not unicorns and

972
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 2: seahorse costumes talking them out there and let him entertain people.

973
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's see jack Earyl Haley hit a shot

974
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: from uh the opposite of the court and give him

975
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: a big check or something. It's it's gonna be a

976
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: lot like the first scene in semi Pro. I think

977
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: when when we go back and there's nobody in the

978
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 2: arena and uh, you know, maybe you've got Lebron James

979
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: doing his own announcing in public address commentary and whatnot.

980
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm into it. I'm excited, uh to get

981
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 2: sports back. I'm excited to get the NBA back, And

982
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: let's and let's embrace the semi pro nature of this experience. Yeah.

983
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 3: Look, i mean, look the the actual game itself in

984
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 3: the NBA, A lot of the old timers are like

985
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: they're just playing a version of the a BA like

986
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 3: in its heyday. That's what the game itself. It's a

987
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: fast paced, it's a three point shot. It's obviously the

988
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: marketing of the players. So yeah, let's lean into the

989
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 3: promotional aspect as well. I'm with you, dude.

990
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 4: I'm happy to call this the Orlando, Florida Mega Bowl,

991
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 4: if you guys.

992
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 2: Are, okay, the Walt Disney World Mega.

993
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: Establish a camera in the free throw line so it

994
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: can look up at the.

995
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 4: Ft they approach.

996
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: Why the heck not.

997
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, we've put the We've put the little cameras

998
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 3: in like the bags, right, the baseball diamond and.

999
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 2: Stuff like that, you know, in the ball, put a

1000
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 2: camera in the ball, Well do it? This is the

1001
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 2: time experiment with this stuff.

1002
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: Experiment with the aba stanchion. I thought, maybe it's just

1003
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: because it's nostalgic and you see it every once in

1004
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: a while when you see a doctor j dunk. But

1005
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: I liked seeing it in this movie for ninety minutes.

1006
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 3: Anyway, jd Do you have any random observations? Final sort

1007
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 3: of we'll get to grading the movie in a second,

1008
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 3: but anything else you want to talk about with this movie?

1009
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 7: He briefly touched on it there. But Duke's I love

1010
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 7: Dukes man. I love that scene where Daily is saying,

1011
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 7: we got a dirty hippie out there and.

1012
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 2: It all hopped up on goofballs and Grant.

1013
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 7: And what he says, he's unemployment, unemployed, and Will Ferrell

1014
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 7: is just keeping it low, keeping it.

1015
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: Keeping it low key.

1016
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, loky, that's it.

1017
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love Dukes. I'm so glad he got some

1018
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 7: of his money at the end.

1019
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you get like twenty eight hundred?

1020
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it comes in installments, just like all

1021
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 2: those big awards to you know, you get the check.

1022
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 2: But then you get the real money later.

1023
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: Did did the fans ever get their free corn dogs?

1024
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 2: That's what I want to That's another that's another frustrated cut.

1025
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: It's like he runs away and then it's we're on

1026
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: to the next game. No no, no, no, no. We just

1027
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 2: talked about the cour dogs for like fifteen minutes. Tell

1028
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: me what happens is the corn dogs? Do they get

1029
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: a voucher? I don't know?

1030
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 3: And Lee, maybe you can speak to this is Swedish porn?

1031
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 2: Really?

1032
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 4: That good?

1033
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: Got me for no.

1034
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 5: Comment?

1035
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 3: No comment on that?

1036
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: Did you ask him? Why did you ask me?

1037
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 4: Okay, David?

1038
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 3: Swedish porn?

1039
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 2: Any good? Absolutely?

1040
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 4: Okay, good Dave? Any other?

1041
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, random observations or thoughts from this movie.

1042
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: The only other performances I really want to call out

1043
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 2: are Moira Tyranny and Rob Cordrey. In this movie what

1044
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 2: is this about? The whole subplot about her and him?

1045
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: It's shot like it's a very naturalistic, gritty seventies drama

1046
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 2: like John Cassavetti's directed parts of Simmy pro And she's

1047
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: deadly serious, yeah, through all of her scenes. And she's

1048
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: a very talented comic actress. If you've ever seen her

1049
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 2: on News Radio, which is my favorite sitcom of the

1050
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: nineties besides Fraser and Witry standards, so it's those three.

1051
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: Those are the top three. She's great in this, but

1052
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 2: she's in a different movie than everybody else, and then

1053
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 2: Rob Cordrey is also in a different movie than them,

1054
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: so it's very confusing. But I think there was an

1055
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: interesting kind of parody of sports movies buried underneath all

1056
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 2: of the weirdness and the atonal nature of the scenes.

1057
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: It's still I'm still entertained by all of their performances

1058
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: despite it being so strange.

1059
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Tarney, she's always, well, not always as you say.

1060
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 7: She's great in news Radio, but she seems to like

1061
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 7: she's in Liar Liar, and she's basically playing the same

1062
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 7: character against Jim Carrey, who's way way over the top,

1063
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 7: and she's always the straight woman, it seems, and she's

1064
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 7: she's just she has more to offer than that, although

1065
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 7: I will say she's awesome everything she's in. I love

1066
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 7: her and so and as far as far as Kyle

1067
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 7: the cuck goes, I kind of thought that they were

1068
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 7: trying to parody the sports fan, like the ultimate sports fan,

1069
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 7: who's who's so obsessed with sports that he would seeing

1070
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 7: an athlete that he likes have sex with his wife

1071
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 7: is a win for him, you know what I mean?

1072
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 7: And and uh, and it's so over the top, and

1073
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 7: I think that that's sort of where they were going

1074
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 7: with that. I don't think it hit the mark, but

1075
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 7: I think that's what they were going for. But yeah,

1076
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 7: I agree, it seems like it's it's out of nowhere.

1077
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 7: And maybe it's also to let wood get Woody Harrelson's

1078
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 7: character off the hook for stealing his wife basically, and

1079
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 7: like he's all right with it, Kyle's fine with it.

1080
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: There are some ideas that are so big that you

1081
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: have to spend more time on them to develop them

1082
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: and make them pay off to the audience. And this

1083
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: was the opposite of that, is they took a big

1084
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 2: idea and gave it almost no time.

1085
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,399

1092
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:49,560

1093
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna guess probably to his shaft, because I'm

00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 3: One of my favorite reviews from a someone named matthew

1139
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 3: S wrote, hilarious movie sort of. I mean, what did

1140
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 3: you honestly expect? This looks like a B list movie

1141
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 3: just from the title on the cover. Still worth watching

1142
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 3: one time, matthew says, give this a watch one time.

1143
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 3: It's a hilarious movie sort of. So Trey, let's start

1144
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 3: with you final thoughts on semi pro and ultimately, how

1145
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: are you grading it?

1146
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's a pretty accurate review. I would say

1147
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,479
Speaker 6: it's worth watching one time. I think I've probably seen

1148
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 6: it now. I don't know, maybe five times in my

1149
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 6: life had been a while, and this was the least

1150
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 6: I think I'd ever liked it. But it did leave

1151
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 6: me asking a couple of questions. Which current NBA player

1152
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 6: would be best at pulling a Jackie Moon, being able

1153
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 6: to own a team, run the promotions, play basically creative

1154
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 6: direct everything. Dave you mentioned Lebron, I mean, the guy's

1155
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 6: got a multimedia apparatus behind him. I assume he would

1156
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 6: actually be the guy.

1157
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Miles Plumbley. I mean, in terms

1158
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 2: of on the coretibility, I'd say Jackie Moon, Miles Plumley. Sure,

1159
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 2: Miles probably had a thirty rebound game drunk one. I'm kidding.

1160
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 2: I don't know the man from Adam. I don't know

1161
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: if he even in vibes alcohol. I take it all back.

1162
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 4: Well, it's between Lebron and Miles Plumby. I would guess

1163
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 4: stepping into that role.

1164
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 6: The other question I has is has a player ever

1165
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 6: worn makeup during a game? I mean, I know we

1166
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 6: haven't had like a you know, a smoky eyes running

1167
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 6: down their face mascara sort of situation, but you can

1168
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 6: see somebody talking themselves into like doing something a little

1169
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 6: bit more dramatic for the camera.

1170
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: I think does Carlos Boozer's here? Oh my god, wow,

1171
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: thank you Lee? Thank you?

1172
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I guess we have.

1173
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 3: I think that sort of counts. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1174
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Lee, but I was so

1175
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 2: excited to say Carlos Boozer. I was like, I don't

1176
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: care if anyone else talks right now, I'm saying this,

1177
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 2: and then you did. It's perfect. Thank you.

1178
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 5: He would be a great character in a movie because

1179
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 5: he could just play himself and he'd come across as

1180
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 5: a really goofy character as well. So I think there

1181
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 5: is a movie career out there for the booze.

1182
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not bad.

1183
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 6: And the last question is what was it actually like

1184
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 6: the first time somebody did an ally you?

1185
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 4: Is this accurate? Right?

1186
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 6: Like the first time somebody threw a lob and dunked

1187
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 6: it in a game? Did they know what did?

1188
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: Like?

1189
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 4: Officials? Players?

1190
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 6: Did anybody know what to do? Did they know to

1191
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 6: call it a two pointer? I think that's actually a

1192
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 6: fair question.

1193
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Father, Pat's confused. Isn't he like a travel

1194
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 3: I think at first?

1195
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, he's No one established a pivot foot, so

1196
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 2: it can't be a travel. Did who invicted the term?

1197
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 4: It's a great question. Wow, Well, research to be done here.

1198
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 2: I just assumed it was chick hern.

1199
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 3: I thought it was chick hern too.

1200
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah he admitted slam dunk right.

1201
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I can't come something.

1202
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: I looked it up, hold on Oka. Origin of the

1203
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 2: term is derived from the French term ala hop, the

1204
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 2: cry of a circus acrobat about to leap. The term

1205
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: alley oop was first popularized in the US in nineteen

1206
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 2: thirty two as the name of a syndicated comic strip

1207
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 2: created by cartoonist V. T. Hamlin. It was first used

1208
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: in football in the nineteen fifties to describe a high

1209
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: arching pass from Ya Tittle to r c Owens of

1210
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Okay, the classic connection.

1211
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 3: Interesting, it did not come into popularity until Patty LaBelle.

1212
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: Spoke from Beyond the Grave to her son Jackie Moonlight.

1213
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 3: So try how are you greating this?

1214
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 4: Okay? So it's a Ferrell showcase.

1215
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 6: This is like if you watched Old School and Vince

1216
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 6: Vaughn and Luke Wilson characters were just not there and

1217
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 6: it was all Frank the Tank the entire time. There

1218
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 6: are funny lines. Obviously will is committed to his performance,

1219
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 6: but the man is a straight up monster in this movie.

1220
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 6: It's better than Blades of Glory, worse than Talladega Nights.

1221
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 6: I forgot about kicking and streaming. I'll go five out

1222
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 6: of twelve years spent training cats for this.

1223
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, Lee, have a go at it.

1224
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1225
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 5: I went in with high expectations. Definitely had a few laughs,

1226
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 5: but lost me a few times as well. I'm going

1227
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 5: with the critics on this one. I'm giving it twenty

1228
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 5: two percent.

1229
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 3: That's it, not even getting silly with your grading system.

1230
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 5: Twenty two that's about as silly as I can get.

1231
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 5: I couldn't really think of any other sort of analogy there.

1232
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 5: So I think the critics got it right. And I'm

1233
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 5: a critic.

1234
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Tess, how do you read this?

1235
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: I had watched it once a long time ago, and

1236
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: I did remember liking it more and so going into

1237
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: this one, going into this watch got disappointed pretty early.

1238
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: That being said, when I let it go, when I

1239
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 1: let those expectations go, I found myself laughing a little

1240
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: bit more when I when I let go of the plot,

1241
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I went from a third moon watching it at the

1242
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: beginning to at least four tenths of a moon. So

1243
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: give me four tenths moon lunar scale.

1244
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I wish Iley. I had as much fun

1245
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 7: watching this movie as they seem to have making this movie.

1246
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 7: I should love semi pro I love the cast, the

1247
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 7: performances are all great. I love the story well. I

1248
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 7: like the story. I like the production design in general.

1249
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 7: The soundtrack is decent. Sometimes it's a bit lazy and cliche,

1250
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 7: but it's fine. And yeah, like I said, I like this.

1251
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 7: I like this setting in the seventies. The seventies is

1252
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 7: a funny time, but a lot of the seventies gags

1253
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 7: fell flat, So I'm giving this four out of ten

1254
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 7: nineteen seventies gags. It's just fine, I guess, And I

1255
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 7: would have liked I would have liked less Will Ferrell.

1256
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 7: I can't believe I'm saying that, but less Will Ferrell

1257
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 7: would have been better for this movie, Dave.

1258
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 3: What do you think?

1259
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 2: I'm amazed that this movie has become a cult classic

1260
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: for a lot of people, to the point where you

1261
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 2: can still buy Jackie Moon Flint tropics Halloween costumes like easily.

1262
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 2: It's not like you have to hunt and peck. Like

1263
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: if you wanted to buy a basketball jersey, you know

1264
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 2: from the movie Basketball, You're gonna have to really go

1265
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: out of your way to do that. That movie is

1266
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 2: significantly funnier than this, And yet people still watch this

1267
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 2: movie all the time. It feels like it's one of

1268
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 2: those cult classic kind of obscurities that people just pluck

1269
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 2: out of a streaming library and say, I'm gonna watch this,

1270
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 2: and then they have a good time. I guess I

1271
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 2: don't know why, because this is the cinematic equivalent of

1272
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook stat padding in the middle of the season

1273
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 2: when he knows the Thunder probably gonna be the seven

1274
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 2: or eight seed and they're not gonna make the playoffs.

1275
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 2: So this is like him going for the MVP and

1276
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 2: being successful, I guess, because Will Ferrell doesn't really give

1277
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 2: a lot of room to anybody else to do anything

1278
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 2: in this movie. He's dominating every scene that he's in,

1279
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 2: and even though it was a box office failure, it's

1280
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: become one of his most beloved movies in his cannon.

1281
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 2: So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Russell Westbrook really is the

1282
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 2: most efficient layer in the NBA. Maybe Will Ferrell just

1283
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 2: steamrolling his co stars for ninety minutes is the path

1284
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 2: to success. I don't know, but I will say from

1285
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 2: my rating on this movie, from hate Me Sexy all

1286
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: the way up to love Me Sexy, I'm gonna go

1287
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 2: like Me Sexy. It's fine. It's not as bad as

1288
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 2: I've let people think it is from my commentary, but

1289
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 2: it's not something I would ever watch again. This is

1290
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 2: my second time watching it, and I liked it even

1291
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 2: less than the first time.

1292
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 3: That's I'll echo that last line you just said. I

1293
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 3: will not be watching Semi Pro again. This was the

1294
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 3: second time I watched it, and it's fine. I did laugh.

1295
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 3: I will admit anytime Will Ferrell is playing basketball in

1296
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 3: this movie and his commentary while playing basketball, I laugh.

1297
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 3: I love this scene so much where he's just re

1298
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 3: establishing in the post's kicking it out. I actually think

1299
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 3: about that scene a lot when playing hoops with friends,

1300
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 3: and it's just so funny to me. And I love

1301
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 3: how he delivers the line while he's doing it so

1302
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 3: and even when they're doing like running the puke play

1303
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 3: and he's just like, what if I just run around

1304
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 3: in a circle here as a distraction? Again, hilarious to me.

1305
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 2: So love that.

1306
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 3: I hear totally what you're saying, JD and others hear

1307
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 3: about it's probably too much Jackie Moon. It's because the

1308
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: B plots of this movie with ed and Is getting

1309
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 3: his wife back and then and then Clarence trying to

1310
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 3: make the NBA like they are just brutal b plots.

1311
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they're just they're not fully developed. We could

1312
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 3: have seen more of them and that would probably help

1313
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 3: the movie. So I agree with all that. I love

1314
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 3: the song. It's still stuck in my head. It will

1315
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 3: be stuck in my head for the next couple of days.

1316
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 3: So I guess I'm a little higher on this than

1317
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 3: you guys, even though I won't be watching it again.

1318
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 3: I'll give it seven out of ten pukahs shell necklaces.

1319
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 3: That's for you, Trey. I can't believe you didn't mention

1320
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 3: ed Monox's pukas shell which at times I was supposed

1321
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 3: to have his ring on it and then other at

1322
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 3: times it definitely does it, So I don't know where

1323
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 3: that disappears to it. Maybe that was a goof, but yeah,

1324
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 3: it's you know, I think you guys placed it perfectly

1325
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 3: in the Will Farrell you know, sports comedy rankings, and

1326
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 3: it's definitely lower when you consider all of his movies

1327
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 3: because those ones, like you said, Old School, whereas he's

1328
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 3: just Frank the Tank. It's the perfect amount of a

1329
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 3: Will Ferrell that you want in a movie. So that's

1330
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 3: one he's just he's just doing too much. But if

1331
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 3: you're a Wilfaer fan, then you're probably like, I love it.

1332
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 3: I want all the Willfarrell in the world, So why

1333
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 3: would I care about what he Harrelson? So maybe maybe

1334
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 3: you're higher on this. Let us know. Email us no

1335
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 3: dunks at the Athletic dot Com your thoughts and your

1336
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 3: ratings on semipro. Hey, why was it called semi pro

1337
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 3: like that sort of a I always think I always

1338
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 3: thought there was a bad name for this movie.

1339
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: Nothing else to call it?

1340
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but why not even just I don't know, just

1341
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 3: like Flint Tropics or something.

1342
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: Major League what you call major League? Great Point Tin Cup?

1343
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: What does that have to do with anything? I don't know? Yeah,

1344
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 2: Great Bowl, Durham. Well, it's about the Durham Bulls, so

1345
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 2: they called it. At least with field of Dreams. It's

1346
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 2: a bad ef yield and there are dreams in it. Yeah,

1347
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 2: but sim I mean most sports movies the titles are nonsensical,

1348
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 2: except for Airbud because it is about a character named

1349
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 2: air Bud.

1350
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, semi pro like but semi pro I'm reaching here.

1351
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 3: That's not like a semi Chubb joke by any means,

1352
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 3: is it?

1353
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 4: No?

1354
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's a long that is a long walk.

1355
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 2: To try to get to that, you have to be

1356
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 2: thinking about pro bro sim what? No, No, it's not

1357
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 2: even a pun.

1358
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 3: Hey, look I'm asking, I'm trying to.

1359
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate your interests, but no.

1360
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 3: I did what I guess. My point is, I do

1361
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 3: think it could have been named. There's a better name

1362
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 3: for this movie to have helped it at the box office.

1363
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 3: Let me put it that way.

1364
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, kicking and screamings. Same thing. Like, you look at

1365
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 2: that title, what is this about? Well, it's Will Ferrell

1366
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 2: is the soccer coach. He's not even playing. You know.

1367
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 2: Give me something that's more soccer y. Overall, bad sports movies,

1368
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 2: bad titles, bad, bad titles. Eddie? Is that a sports movie?

1369
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 2: I guess.

1370
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 3: Oh, definitely talked about.

1371
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't tell you that it's a sports movie.

1372
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 2: The title Eddie, Eddie. Who guys, who's so big?

1373
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: She's a one namer.

1374
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's like, well, I don't know.

1375
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: It didn't do great at the box office, I guess,

1376
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: but like Dave said, it's iconic enough that people can

1377
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: still go get Halloween costumes. And I need to clarify

1378
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: something because I've got quarantine brain over here and things

1379
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,520
Speaker 1: are a little foggy. You brought up pick up basketball

1380
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: skeets passing it in and out of the post a

1381
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. We play pick up basketball around Halloween.

1382
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: And there was a guy Jeeves who played in a

1383
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,879
