Very excited about this bit 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: now because Jack is a child of the nineties, not 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: around any great decade like me and Patsy and a 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: lot of you guys the eighties. And so when we're 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: doing this, I give him a movie, the classic eighties 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: movie to do with that letter this week, the letter 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: T teen Wolf. Let's get into Michael J. Fox from 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: the eighties. Classic eighties movie Teen Wolf? Or what did 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: you think watching it? With different eyes? Now? 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: Bianca and I both watched it, and despite some obvious 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: weaknesses throughout the movie, we actually really enjoyed Teen Wolf. 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, some of it stands up really well. Other bits don't. 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: Obviously it's a dated movie, but overall. 16 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: We're deviated from all the other eighties films I've been watching, 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: which have one thing in common completely slow. Teen Wolf 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: was well paced. He starts turning into the wolf straight away, 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: become o the teen Wolf. 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: He gave you the team Wolf. That's what you're there. 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: First eighties movies would spend half an hour setting up. Oh, 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 2: he's just a normal high school kid playing basketball. Then 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: he starts turning into a wolf. Love that he started 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: turning into a wolf straight away. And then it kind 25 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 2: of surprised me because I thought it was going to 26 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: be an elephant man situation where the whole school teased 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: him and he was an outcast. They loved the wolf. 28 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: No, they were shut behind us so much so. Do 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: you remember the first basketball game where imagine if you're 30 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: you're watching a kid playing a basketball game, and what 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: of the kids a child turns into a flipping wolf. Doctor, 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: he's turning into a wolf. They just look at him. 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: The referee disc goes, okay, let's play moola. You couldn't 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: got to get him a nurse, wile. 35 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: And ambulance and elite at the bare minimums. Start the 36 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: game and find out what's going on. 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: One of that is turned into a wolf. There's no 38 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: kind of he's different to us. The big moment that 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: got the big gass in the cinema, which no one 40 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: saw come was when you were I was his old 41 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: man is also part human, part wolf. This bit an 42 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: explanation is probably long overdue. Before you're any further right, 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: you need to listen to two different things here right, 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: imagine I can only imagine it now and I watch 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: it again. Yes, there's a dad. If one of my 46 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: kids came to me and they'd realize that I was 47 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: a wolf as well, you know that there'd be a 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: lot of drama there, the shame that I passed it on. 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: Listen to his old man. It's literally like it's not 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: a big deal that his son is just realized he's 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: actually a wolf. And wait, you're also a dad wolf. 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: And listen to his old man. He's so I'm drum. 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: An explanation is probably long overdo an. 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: Explanation, Jesus Christ.

He stole from somewhere else in 131 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: Buckingham Pellas, which is amazing because wouldn't you just assume 132 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: she's got security everywhere they do? 133 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: Now changed everything. A lot of people got fired.

We shouldn't even have to be even 137 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: a quick look around the house at night. Quick, I'm 138 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: not I'm not in Buckingham Palace. 139 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: We all do that thing at night where we just 140 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: make sure the doors are locked, just give it an 141 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: old check. Do that at the palace. 142 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: But it's a lot of have you seen the size 143 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: of It's a lot of doors. You can understand why 144 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: someone like us would go, ahstairs, I did it at 145 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the other day. They're all locked door. They must be locked. 146 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: So amazing that he even knows how to get there, 147 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: because if you're walking through a palace with hundreds and 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: hundreds of rooms, how do you know. 149 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: He wandered around for quite one before we made it 150 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: to a promise, not just it. This is one of 151 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: my favorite bits, right obviously, right, even if you've never 152 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: seen it with your own eyes. Bucket and palace, right, 153 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: you've seen it on the news. It's probably one of 154 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: the most familiar buildings in the world. You can imagine 155 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: that if you've ever been to Learn. There are a 156 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: lot of pigeons there everywhere around the top of it 157 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: and up those draying pipes. There's pigeon poop everywhere. Some 158 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: got on Michael Fagan, and as he's wandering around, he 159 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: saw me if I do get him at the queen, I 160 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: can't be having pigeon poop on me. 161 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: That would be disrespecting. 162 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Wipe some some antique Louis the fourteenth curtain, like I 163 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: found the trap. More people are upset about the pigeon 164 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: poople getting that you can't take of the dry cleaners. 165 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: They're not dry clean only those curtain traits. So he 166 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: whiites pigeon crap on the curtains where we go see queeny. 167 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: This is amazing. So then he goes into the Queen's bedroom. 168 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: She's asleep. He sits on the bed at seven am 169 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: in the morning, she wakes up. Leuiyyid, I guess again. 170 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: Have he got some sort of royal silk eye mask? 171 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: Takes that off and goes is this guy d. 172 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: The butler little witch is dressed down. 173 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: Friday, so he just has a chat with her for 174 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: a few minutes and then she's able to alert the 175 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: guards and they go, oh, sorry, we've we missed that one. 176 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: Apparently between a changeover of guards in front of her 177 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: bedroom door, there was this period of time when there 178 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: was no one standing there and he was able to 179 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: get in. 180 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: How's this? How come anyone to spot that that's the 181 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: time they're going to attack, isn't it when there's no 182 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: one there? During that change the change of the mat 183 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: when you go, I'll stay and have changed over. 184 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: So many questions like how does anyone first just get 185 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 2: in the gates they've got people there, how do they 186 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: get up the drain pipe? How do they get in 187 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: the house? And then how do they get all the 188 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: way through the halls to the queen's room. This is 189 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: amazing because they didn't have any law against going into 190 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: the queen's bedroom. The only thing he was charged for 191 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: was stealing the bottle of wine from somewhere in Buckingham. 192 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: He still did prison time as well. Well. 193 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: He then he went on to do other petty crimes 194 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: and he did prison time for other criminal offenses. 195 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: Tell you what though you are the king of that prisoner. 196 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: What was she like? What was she like? 197 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: She's actually really nice in real life. 198 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: Person, and that let me just talk about that bedroom 199 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: and the curtains. 200 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: She in real life though really short. 201 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: Swears a lot too, especially if you're confronted with her 202 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: when you went it sat on the edge of her bed. 203 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: That what year was that? 204 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty two? 205 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Awesome? The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 206 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: Letters Christian O'Connell's p of the eighties. 207 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: The letter P what is the eighties for you? And 208 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: the letter P yesterday? Then for Jackie Boy's homework each 209 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: week when we do our ages. Then, obviously jack is 210 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: a child of the nineties. I give him a movie 211 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: or a TV show from the eighties and he has 212 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: to watch it and report back for his millennial take 213 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: on it. Today. Sadly, I don't think he cared for 214 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: the great Powerhouse seven. They spawned seven Police Academy movies. 215 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: I messaged you panics yesterday when I said him when 216 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: it's oh wait, wait wait, because I went back a 217 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: couple of years ago and watched the first four and 218 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: the first one is not a great movie. Where was 219 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: the third? And then the second. If you have the 220 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: rank them, it's three back in training two their first assignment. 221 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: You go that way. The first one is not a 222 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: great overall war. 223 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: But it was too late. I already started fired up 224 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: Police Academy number one, and true, I can't believe from 225 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 2: Police Academy one they thought there's seven movies in this 226 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: how the day it wasn't really a movie. It was 227 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: a series of sketches that took place at a police academy. 228 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think what they tried to do was what 229 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: airplane did really well. And later on the third one, 230 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: the second one, they obviously got in somebody that said, hey, 231 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: needs to have a little bit of structure. Movies traditionally 232 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: have some kind of narrative, even in a flimsy comedy 233 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: like this, whereas they made no effort. This was just 234 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: bring it all together. 235 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: This was just writers going, here's a bunch of characters 236 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: who would be funny to be in a police academy, 237 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: and we'll give them each a funny bit, and then 238 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: at the end there's a big heist. But really, by 239 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: that stage it's such. 240 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: A tower for show every day. Basically, we don't need 241 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: to worry about the overall structure. 242 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 2: Now tell me this. I bet you watched it at 243 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 2: the time as a kid, and you look up to 244 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: Stephen Gutenberg and he's a good looking guy, but he 245 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: just I know we're meant to love him as like 246 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: the slacker and the rebel. I just found him a 247 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: nuisance everywhere he went. 248 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: He was who says that a head teacher, You were. 249 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: Just causing unnecessary trouble. 250 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: And then of course he was that's why you were him. 251 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: You were a teenager, you were causing trouble. He represented 252 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: us in it. I thought it was in the system. 253 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 2: I thought he stepped over the line. 254 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: And then rule maker. 255 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: He finally got kicked out. He so he wants to 256 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: be kicked out of the police academy. He's trying. 257 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't know what he wants. 258 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's true because it's a nameless mess. But 259 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: he wants to get kicked out. He gets kicked out, 260 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: and then the riot happens at the end and they 261 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: need everybody hands on deck, need him back. 262 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: He puts on the back. They need him back, He 263 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: puts on the uniform. Kicked out because he's learned the lesson. 264 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: He wasn't a team player. It was all about Mahoney. 265 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: Then he realizes he's got to serve something more than him. 266 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: He's back for the rights. He's learnt his lesson, he's 267 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: been on his hero's journey. 268 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: The riot scene was a complete mess. I'll give it. 269 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: The final scene with the with the hostage was all right, 270 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of filler in Police Academy. 271 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: You're not talking about the best bits in it. No, 272 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: let me do one for you now, wait his wait, 273 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: is Michael Winslow in the studio with him? No, it's 274 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: still we listeners him. That was the funniest. 275 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 2: But in it, Michael Winslow is the standout. He's the 276 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: start that I mean, that is a great unique character 277 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: that you've never said no is he? In all seven. 278 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: That character was the only person who didn't chap out 279 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: was Michael Winslow. I think he was trying to say no, 280 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: but they got confused with all the various voices he 281 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: was doing at the time. But yeah, there's just so 282 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: many other little bits as well. The man with the 283 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: funny voices, and what about when they changed the superintendent 284 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: what he's called his shampoo for for various other things. 285 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: That was brilliant. 286 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: That must have been number two or three because we 287 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,359 Speaker 2: didn't get that number. 288 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: Two told you to start three, then go. 289 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: Don't sound like it gets much better than what was 290 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: in number one. 291 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,599 Speaker 1: He wants to market comedy. 292 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: All I can give it is a couple of smiles. 293 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: All right, Mark's out of ten?
