1:33
the twelfth day of Christmas my true
1:35
love gave to me a tech company
1:37
with lost doggies and a pet shrink.
1:39
We saw the 12 pups of Christmas! So
1:41
you know what that means! Sort
2:33
of dark.
2:49
We're alive as a Masonic and
2:51
we are so happy to be here today
2:54
to talk about the 2019 film, The
2:58
Twelve Pups of Christmas. We're
3:03
gonna go through this classic
3:06
San Francisco film. A
3:09
film that feels like Sleepless in
3:11
Seattle meets Marley and
3:13
Me and a
3:16
whole bunch of other shit. A pet
3:19
psychiatrist from New York finds out her
3:22
boyfriend, fiancé, it's a little unclear because
3:24
he doesn't even think to know that
3:26
they're getting married. It's
3:28
cheating on her. So she
3:30
moves across country to work for a tech
3:32
company here in San Francisco where they're
3:37
putting GPS locators on
3:39
dogs. So no
3:41
dog will ever go lost again. And
3:44
guess what? True love. That's
3:46
what happens. All right. So
3:48
to help us break down this movie,
3:50
please welcome my callers, Mr. Jason Mandzukas.
4:04
What the fuck? How
4:10
we doing San Francisco? Can't
4:13
do enough talking about Jason.
4:16
Oh, 12 pups
4:18
a Christmas. It's
4:21
a comfortable chair. It's a real relaxed vibe. Oh,
4:24
I'm going to chill so hard. I drove
4:27
here. Wow.
4:31
Ladies and gentlemen, let me
4:33
introduce somebody who is part of
4:35
the reason why we're doing this movie tonight. A
4:38
person who's going to have a lot to say, my other
4:41
co-host, June Diane Ropio. Positively
4:53
bounding, bounding
4:55
onto the stage. Wow.
4:59
Welcome June. How are you Paul? I'm
5:01
doing well. June, I just
5:04
want to take a moment here because very
5:06
rarely do you and I find a film.
5:08
Normally, Avril Halle finds all of our films,
5:10
but last Thanksgiving, you and I
5:13
were watching TV. There
5:15
was no cable to be found and we stumbled
5:17
upon this and we looked at each other and
5:19
said, this is the movie. This
5:21
is it. This is it. And this is
5:23
us. And
5:26
I have to say, I'm so
5:29
happy with this pic because it really,
5:31
this movie is a dream.
5:34
This is the best movie we've
5:37
ever seen. This
5:40
is a Christmas classic. Oh,
5:43
I agree. It's a Christmas
5:45
classic. Here's, I
5:48
did that thing where I
5:50
wrote so many notes on the
5:52
movie that I started to be
5:54
like, oh no, I'll never get
5:56
to talk about all of this. I've written
5:58
too much. too much gold in the
6:01
middle of these notes. I got, and then I was
6:03
like, I'm gonna have to curate these notes to my,
6:05
and I was like, what am I talking about? This
6:07
is 12 puffs of Christmas. Jason,
6:10
did you hear what we just said?
6:12
We've seen this movie twice. One
6:15
when it was not a sign. No,
6:17
one was elective. And
6:20
I gotta tell you, rewatching this
6:22
movie, it was love
6:24
from first credit because the credits
6:27
are like that Calypso font, that font
6:29
that you never use in Microsoft Word
6:31
because it's too confusing. It's like, oh,
6:33
let's make it fun. It's like, eh,
6:35
it's a little too much. Yeah,
6:37
it's almost like it's a font for dogs.
6:41
By the way, no one steal that. That's my
6:44
next movie, Font for Dogs, about
6:46
a typographer who only is friends with a
6:48
dog and then he falls in love. I
6:50
would believe it if you told me this
6:53
movie was intended for a dog audience. That
6:56
would make sense to me. This movie is
6:58
intended for an adult sexy
7:00
audience. This movie plays like a sexual
7:02
thriller from the 80s. Like
7:05
when we first meet Aaron. It does?
7:07
Oh my God, Aaron pops on screen.
7:09
Fatal attraction. I won. Gagged
7:12
edge. Yes. 12 puffs
7:14
of Christmas. I mean, don't
7:16
you think that first therapy scene with
7:18
Aaron, I'm like, you're playing this a
7:21
little too sexy for me. It's like,
7:23
it's too steamy as everybody sees. Here's
7:25
what I don't understand. The
7:28
movie? Well, I wanna start off. That's
7:30
what I don't understand. I wanna start
7:32
off with her profession, canine therapist. Because
7:35
when I think of anyone who's like dealing
7:38
with animals and dealing with behavior issues and
7:40
dealing with their owners, you know, they're in
7:42
jeans. They've got a fanny pack on with
7:45
treats in them. Okay. They're
7:47
on the ground, to be quite honest. That's what
7:49
I wanna ask. They
7:52
are putting the canine therapist in the position
7:55
of, or in the environment of... human
8:00
therapy. And my understanding is the canine
8:03
therapist would be working with the owner
8:05
and the dog in the world. Am
8:07
I wrong? Is there a canine
8:10
therapist? Because San Francisco is absolutely
8:12
rotten with them. Is
8:15
there a canine therapist in the house? Just so
8:17
we can ask someone to go to. I
8:23
believe that canine
8:26
therapists are called trainers. Like
8:29
they're dog trainers. Like the way
8:31
that these people are coming in, it's like,
8:33
oh my dog hates Christmas music. First of
8:36
all, these dogs have more issues with Christmas
8:38
than anyone. And it seems like Erin also
8:40
is like, oh, I hate Christmas. But yet
8:42
later on, she's... I actually do know and
8:45
I wish I thought to have her on
8:47
or to have her call in. But
8:49
I do know a
8:51
dog life coach. Her name is Sasia
8:54
Freeman. She has a podcast. A
8:57
dog life coach? She's amazing. And she
8:59
is amazing. She has worked with us. We are patients,
9:02
customer, clients. I would understand therapists. I
9:05
would understand so many things. But a
9:07
dog life coach to help the dog
9:09
realize its dreams. And its owners. And
9:12
its goals. To really like to
9:14
really kind
9:16
of curate our joint vision. Okay.
9:18
What does a dog want? What do we want? I
9:20
guess this is what's different
9:26
than a dog trainer. Dog trainers are usually
9:28
working on behavior with the dogs. And a
9:31
dog life coach, again, the only one I know
9:33
is Katya Friedman. And she's absolutely incredible. Hosts a
9:35
podcast called The Animal That Changed You. Anyway,
9:37
put that over there for now. But she
9:39
is amazing. And she does work with
9:42
both human and dog.
9:46
Does she work like this? Like in this
9:48
scene right here? Is this character the one
9:50
that's Carly's friend? Oh,
9:53
is it? Yes. This is like
9:55
a Maria Bamford character.
9:57
This to me is a Maria Bamford
9:59
character. character. I mean watch
10:01
it watch it through that lens.
10:05
You can't leave us, Aaron. It's funny because
10:07
of you that my boys don't eat the
10:09
tea. Can you pause it when it gets
10:11
to the font? If I don't see you
10:13
once a week, I may
10:15
not have my couch. I mean I
10:18
also feel like that's the font from friends
10:22
or from like suddenly Susan. It feels
10:24
like a font that might be in
10:26
a dog food commercials like tasty biscuits.
10:29
It's like there's but here so she
10:31
is very upset that the therapist is
10:33
leaving. Come on. Jade,
10:36
I'm so sorry. I
10:39
got a job offer that I can't come down.
10:41
I'm so nervous. I made this decision
10:43
that a move would be really good
10:46
for a relationship. In fact,
10:49
I'm getting married on Monday at Sunny Hall.
10:52
Why would you tell a patient this?
10:55
Here's my first headline about this
10:57
movie. Aaron is
10:59
a terrible therapist. Aaron
11:02
is only interested in herself.
11:05
And I think like every
11:07
other person in this movie is
11:10
a psycho. Yeah. And
11:12
every character in this movie is
11:14
a straight up psycho. What
11:17
I really thought was and this is my big
11:19
theory on it and this is what I was
11:21
trying to get to the bottom of. I was
11:23
like, is she an improviser? Because it felt like
11:25
she went off book a lot. I agree. So
11:27
here's what I'm going to say about that. And
11:31
I guess we'll get to the
11:33
love interest in a bit. The boyfriend
11:36
or the love interest? The love
11:38
interest. I don't remember his name.
11:40
Martin. Martin,
11:42
what a crazy name for a love
11:44
interest. scary.
12:00
It's really like, how did they
12:02
know that? They also track your
12:05
activity, your recovery, your stress, your
12:07
menstrual cycle, and more. This wearable
12:09

12:11

12:15
It is true. I have
12:18
not stopped wearing my Aura Ring
12:20
since I got it as a gift.
12:22
If I'm on the verge of getting sick,
12:24
the Aura Ring is about a day or
12:26
two ahead and I can course correct. I
12:29
find myself getting out of sickness because of
12:31
this ring. Now that's not something I
12:33
can guarantee. I'm just telling you that's my
12:35
experience. Plus it's comfortable and stylish. You can
12:38
wear it 24-7. It's discreet. No one's gonna
12:40
be like, oh what's that wearable that you
12:42
have? Because honestly, a lot of the wearables
12:44
look like trash. Aura Ring looks good.

talk about shopping for yourself during the holidays.
13:25
I get it. But you know what? I
13:28
love doing it. Amazon, I'm searching around. I'm like, I'd

15:07
found the chemistry between Aaron and Carly
15:09
to be off the charts. Electric. Electric.
15:15
They were, I agree. By
15:18
the way, Carly, just the
15:20
absolute MVP of this movie.
15:22
But when they're together, they've
15:24
got, I feel like they're
15:26
like dancing around the crib.
15:28
When they get together, Aaron
15:30
comes alive. She's alive
15:32
with Carly. They're dancing, they're laughing, they're
15:35
having emotions. Carly's digging. She's that guy.
15:38
When she's with Martin, she's basically like... It's
15:41
this. You're a piece of shit. You're a piece
15:43
of shit. You're a piece of shit. Kiss. You're
15:46
a piece of shit. You're a piece of shit. Fuck.
15:49
You're a piece of shit. End of movie. She's
15:52
so miserable and she's
15:54
so over it, but I also feel like
15:57
the movie makes no sense. I
16:00
was like, does your fiance know
16:02
that you are getting married? Like,
16:04
because she's like, we're getting married
16:07
on Monday. And
16:09
it seems like,
16:12
it all seems like, oh right, right. It's like
16:14
a dinner plan. Like, oh, we're going to Susan's
16:16
on Saturday. Oh, right. Yes. And
16:19
then she has to say to him at one
16:21
point, and people get married because they love
16:23
each other. She, I
16:25
want to just reiterate. She's
16:28
a mental health professional and
16:31
is picking up on no size.
16:33
Taylor is there early. What?
16:37
Why is Taylor there so early? Wait
16:39
a second. I want to, okay. I want
16:41
to pull that back a little bit. Let's get into Taylor. Erin, get on
16:43
the ball. Oh, I want to
16:46
do. Oh, Erin appears to be seeing
16:48
clients on Thanksgiving. Well, that was my
16:50
issue. She saw three
16:52
clients on Thanksgiving morning and then
16:54
her instructions to her
16:56
fiance were reheat up the
16:59
turkey, heat up the turkey, not
17:01
cook the turkey, like heat it
17:03
up. And then she's butt hurt.
17:06
She's so butt hurt when Travis and
17:08
Erin have done it. She's like, she's
17:10
so passive aggressive. She's like, the
17:12
cooking is the best part. And
17:15
like, they did it. In my opinion, I'm like,
17:17
oh, they did a nice thing. They were like,
17:19
you were working on Thanksgiving. Yeah. So they did
17:22
this. When were you going to eat? And also
17:24
it seemed like the instruction she gave was heat
17:26
up the turkey, warm it up. They
17:28
did warm up the fucking turkey. They
17:32
did it. I mean, I'm team Travis
17:34
and Taylor. And
17:37
then to add confusion, this is all just
17:39
the first two scenes and we won't leave
17:41
New York. We'll come back to talk
17:43
about the San Francisco parts. We're just going
17:45
to focus on New York tonight. That's all we care
17:47
about San Francisco. Your goddamn town. But
17:50
then she gets in the
17:53
cab and you know,
17:55
and she's like, oh, can you change
17:57
this station this Christmas music? And
17:59
the guy she. Shouts back, the cab driver, New
18:01
York cabby, they're pre-programmed.
18:05
What? What?
18:07
There's so many, by the way. They're not on
18:09
a fucking Disney ride. The
18:12
drivers in this movie, you never
18:14
see. You never
18:16
see, there's driver erasure happening.
18:20
And they just pipe in some VO. When
18:24
Martin and her are going around to try to
18:26
unload some of the pups, there's
18:29
that driver driving the SUV, never get to
18:31
see him. It's just like. You get to
18:33
see more of the car pulling into a
18:35
driveway than you ever see of a driver
18:37
driving that car. Yes. There's
18:40
a lot of, they're like, oh. I have to say too,
18:42
I'm gonna say something that's maybe controversial. I
18:45
don't think Aaron likes dogs.
18:49
Yeah. June.
18:54
June. I don't. Yes, I
18:57
agree. I'm gonna
18:59
piggyback off of that. I don't think
19:01
Aaron likes people. Yeah. I
19:06
think Aaron is bad at her
19:08
job, and is a
19:11
bad person. Well, what's
19:14
really interesting is if her job
19:16
is to kind of intuit what
19:18
the dogs feel and want,
19:20
like she's certainly missing the cues
19:22
that Galileo's giving her. Mr. G?
19:26
Her dog is telling her shit is.
19:29
Oh, oh, what? Goliath,
19:32
not Galileo, I'm sorry. Goliath,
19:35
not. June. Sorry. How
19:37
should I hear you? San Francisco
19:39
has turned against you. Goliath!
19:43
Goliath! I
19:46
feel like there is one moment in this
19:48
movie where I really feel like we understand
19:51
who Aaron is, and I'll talk
19:53
about this in a second. I hear you.
19:55
We're gonna have to get revenge on him. I
19:59
think we should. We're gonna rewind and we're
20:01
gonna rewind and start it again But
20:07
I want you to watch how
20:09
much you can't really tell
20:11
what Erin is saying because the
20:14
words aren't actually Coming into the
20:16
air now. They
20:18
go you know her mouth they Apparate.
20:21
Yeah, this is the movie that needs
20:23
closed captioning. Maybe the most Now
20:26
and then there's Taylor who's like I'm talking I
20:30
was just thrilled though to be able to
20:32
hear her. Thank God for Taylor and Travis
20:35
and The
20:38
sound man on this movie or sound woman on
20:40
this movie who had to be like modulating between
20:42
both of them He must have been going nuts
20:46
But quickly I just want to just for one moment Just
20:50
show you what I think is
20:53
really going on inside Erin's head. So here we go. One
20:55
second We're
21:01
gonna have to get revenge on him I
21:05
think we should oh I
21:20
think that she did want to do I yes, I
21:23
wrote that down That's like
21:25
said to that's a moment. That's the
21:27
real person. That's her. That's her That's
21:29
her she wants to get revenge tying
21:32
him up and tattoo him on the
21:34
forehead So he lives a life of
21:36
torture it is Everyone
21:41
is a fucking psycho except
21:43
for Carly who is an
21:45
angel Carly's
21:49
a psycho Jason. Okay. Okay, probably
21:51
the psycho. I love Carly.
21:54
I'm even a cult this whole movie
22:00
This town's built on cults. If
22:04
there's one thing I know, at least seven people in
22:06
this room have been in a cult. Raise
22:09
your hand if you were raised in a
22:11
cult in this town. Cowards.
22:13
Cowards. I bet
22:16
they're in the balcony. We can't
22:18
see. The scenes where she's, where
22:20
Erin's being introduced to Doggone and
22:22
the corporate culture there are
22:26
terrifying. They play
22:28
like a horror film where they tell her
22:30
over and over that she's a part of
22:32
their family. Your family now.
22:35
Your family now. They won. Your
22:37
family. You know, okay, this scene that we just watched here, right?
22:39
But Paul, will you just play a little bit of again? Sure.
22:42
Just like, just like, don't you feel, in this thing
22:44
where she's saying, plotting her revenge and you know
22:46
what we should do and blah, blah, blah, don't
22:48
you feel like, yeah, don't you feel like inside
22:51
of this scene. There are even pictures. Oh, God.
22:53
That is bad. She's going to turn
22:56
around, remove her hair and it's
22:58
going to be Gabriel from Malignant.
23:01
It's going to be on the back of her head. That's
23:04
where I feel, I feel like this movie
23:06
is in the Malignant verse. And
23:10
I mean, look, this is, I don't
23:13
know if these people are unhappy if they haven't found a
23:15
home or whatever because it seems like
23:17
everyone's kind of broken and nothing is working
23:19
for anyone. Right? Even
23:21
in San Francisco, they're not, no
23:23
one's really truly happy. Not even
23:25
Wayne. Is the name Wayne? Wally.
23:28
Not even Wally is happy. I
23:31
mean, listen, they're all working for a
23:33
startup that's bound to fail with a
23:35
founder who is an actual idiot.
23:37
Yeah. This is, there
23:40
are, there are, this is a massive
23:42
tech startup that is, what an excitement.
23:49
The privilege of this
23:51
white bro, who's this
23:53
white tech bro, whose
23:55
greatest challenge is overcoming
23:57
the loss of a dog.
24:00
he had as a child? Who
24:02
we assumed was dognapped.
24:05
He says dognapped. I
24:07
have never heard that.
24:09
He also is immediately
24:11
gifted a new dog.
24:13
The fucking gall of
24:15
this guy. But here's
24:17
my question about his
24:19
company and honestly the mission
24:22
because I guess
24:24
I have to wonder like are
24:27
they trying to build this GPS collar
24:30
before chips? No, no,
24:32
June. June, this is
24:34
2019. Air tags are
24:37
readily available and so are
24:39
those tiles. Remember tiles? Yeah.
24:41
We have an air tag
24:43
on our dog as we
24:45
speak and it's this big.
24:48
The size of a quarter, maybe two put
24:51
together. This is 2019. This is not like 2005. This
24:53
isn't a revolutionary
24:56
idea. Tile has been doing this
24:58
for years. It also feels like they
25:00
should be smarter than this because Carly
25:03
has been at nine dot coms. She
25:06
is an engineer, a tech
25:08
guru, a programmer, a
25:10
social expert and a
25:13
graphic designer. It
25:15
seems like she either got fired
25:17
or working for her brother, who's
25:20
a fucking idiot. Who
25:23
is the patriarchy?
25:26
He is an at work. This
25:28
is the patriarchy at work. But
25:32
this Carly should own this
25:34
company and it should already
25:36
be IPO'd. Give me
25:39
a fucking break. This guy's a
25:41
dunce! But also they
25:43
bring in the dog therapist
25:46
and she figures out you should rename it.
25:48
That doesn't seem like what a therapist should
25:50
be doing and she really,
25:52
what she adds to it has nothing
25:57
to do with her background about
25:59
dogs. all the work that
26:01
we've had, but she is told
26:03
upon arrival that the success of
26:06
the entire company by both Carly
26:08
and Martin, she has told the
26:10
success of the entire company and
26:12
all of its employees and apparently
26:15
all of its puppies are
26:17
in her hand. And
26:20
right before the holidays. And within
26:22
one week, she saves it.
26:24
By the way, well, yeah, she does it.
26:28
She does the whole thing at this volume. She
26:31
saves the entire company at
26:33
this volume. That she notices
26:35
though, anyone would notice. Like
26:37
if I brought my six year old there, he'd
26:39
be like, that's too big. And
26:41
that's what he says. And
26:44
it doesn't seem like he runs a fear based company, although
26:46
I do love when he's typing on a computer and you
26:48
can clearly see the screen in the frame and it's black.
26:51
Well, this is what's so weird is that you would
26:53
think that. That
26:59
she'd be saving the company because of her
27:02
connection to animals because she's able to really,
27:04
you know, draw
27:08
the lines between humans and animals. But
27:10
that's not why. She's
27:12
there to get her basic like
27:14
brand narrative and like just a
27:16
marketing lens. And she's also there
27:18
to give therapy. The
27:23
reveal of the end of the movie, which is
27:25
fucking the cuckoo. Is
27:28
that Carly hired her to give
27:30
that because she thought she'll be
27:32
perfect for my brother and
27:34
give him therapy to make him better. And you
27:36
guys will fall in love. Carly
27:39
is setting up a series of
27:41
events that are an HR disaster
27:45
from day one. Erin
27:47
is like day one. Erin is like
27:50
day one. Erin is like the boss
27:52
is fucking hot. Holy
27:55
shit. The boss is hot to
27:57
his sister. And then it's like,
27:59
uh oh. By the way, but when
28:01
she said that she's like, oh that
28:03
was your sister It's like it wasn't like your wife
28:05
But it's like would your sister be like
28:07
I don't know why it would be that embarrassing to
28:09
tell your sister that your brother's hot There's
28:12
a whole MTV show about it He
28:16
is way better looking in person Work
28:22
just horny she
28:24
also says Seems
28:27
brilliant Brilliant
28:31
how do you know being brilliant from just get in
28:33
my office in 10 minutes? I
28:35
also think Carly I Don't
28:38
I don't know what Carly wants out of this.
28:40
I'll have to imagine Here's
28:42
what I had to come up with because the movie
28:44
didn't provide me with much I
28:46
had to imagine that Carly had asked her
28:48
own father to fund her
28:51
brilliant startup idea and he said
28:53
no The dad will
28:55
come back later on giving the oddest
28:57
performance I've ever seen Like
29:00
when they cast mark Cuban in things
29:03
like hey mark Cuban fear like hey
29:05
guys I'm here because I really like
29:07
what you're doing You
29:10
know, it felt like he was some sort
29:12
of a local celebrity was brought in to
29:14
be in the film Or or I was
29:16
gonna say they were like fuck. We didn't cast this
29:18
part. Uh Gary
29:21
from craft services, he'll do it. He'll
29:23
do it. We'll put him in a suit I
29:26
just had to imagine that she asked him
29:28
for funding at some point and he said
29:30
no Okay,
29:33
I need to know this dog
29:35
on The
29:38
company the tech company that has hired
29:40
a pet therapist
29:44
For reasons unknown because it is simply
29:46
a caller based and I'm sorry Jason
29:49
Jason Jason We really can't and I know we're in
29:51
San Francisco, but I don't think we can call this
29:53
a tech company Well, my
30:00
get there, it appears to be
30:02
a dog hotel. No,
30:05
no, no. She says, welcome
30:07
to the doggone hotel. I'm just
30:09
joking. She clarifies, I'm just joking.
30:11
I thought they also had a
30:13
dog. No, no, no, no. To
30:15
be clear, there are a lot
30:17
of dogs that are staying there.
30:19
Well, but by the way, when
30:21
those 12 pups, the titular pups
30:24
are pointless. They're
30:26
not important to the plot of
30:28
the movie. You know how I know?
30:30
You know how I know?
30:33
Because midway through the movie, the movie
30:35
says, hey, Aaron, first the movie's like, Aaron,
30:37
you got to find homes for these 12
30:39
dogs or this company's going to fail and
30:41
I'm going to put them to sleep. Right? Martin
30:43
is like, Martin, Martin's like, I'm going to
30:45
murder these dogs unless you find them at
30:47
home by Christmas. And then two days later,
30:49
he's like, come with me to New York
30:51
to save the company. It doesn't matter. The dogs
30:53
don't matter. Who cares about the dog? Taylor's back.
30:56
She'll take care of the dogs. What? What
30:58
is this movie? But the crazy thing is,
31:00
the crazy moment about that is, first
31:03
of all, the reason why there are 12 pups there, which
31:05
you all know is because of a
31:07
lazy photographer left them after a photo
31:09
shoot at an ad agency. So like,
31:11
no one's got a, we call it,
31:13
we call it ad agency and just
31:16
get them to take their fucking dog.
31:18
It's like the Balenciaga campaign when people
31:20
are blaming like the art department. I'm
31:22
like, I don't know. It was so
31:24
odd. So then they have these 12
31:26
pups. It's like, all right, dog therapist,
31:28
if you're such a good dog therapist,
31:31
get rid of these dogs. Okay,
31:34
and and then he seemingly is
31:36
going to go bankrupt. But yet
31:39
he's forced to deliver every one of
31:41
these dogs. He should be working on
31:43
that computer that has a student. They're
31:45
truly trying to play a he's a
31:48
Scrooge. He doesn't like dogs. He
31:50
does. And then his heart opens,
31:52
because she forces him to deliver
31:54
puppies. The other question I have
31:56
for her is, shouldn't
31:59
these people If you're a
32:01
canine therapist, isn't the first
32:03
rule of thumb that like every owner should meet
32:05
the dogs first before they make
32:07
a lifelong commitment to them? This movie,
32:10
the movie is irresponsible. Irresponsible.
32:12
The movie is... Like
32:15
animals, honestly animals were harmed. Here's
32:19
some advice. Do what you want and that
32:21
includes going ahead and eating what you want
32:24
and when you want peanut butter and chocolate,
32:26
Reese's peanut butter cups deliver like nothing else.
32:28
Let me tell you something, the amazing people
32:30
at Reese's sent me over a box. A
32:33
box of delicious Reese's peanut butter cups and
32:35
not just the regular ones. I'm talking about
32:37
the big cups. What about white chocolate cups?
32:39
This blew my mind. I've always have been
32:42
a fan of a Reese's peanut butter cup.
32:44
Why? Because it's got
32:46
that right level of chocolate and salty
32:48
peanut butter and each bite just gives you
32:50
like the perfect proportions. I don't know how they
32:52
do it and I believe in science after I
32:55
eat it. Everything in the world is A-OK once
32:57
you have a Reese's peanut butter cup. Now I've
32:59
been enjoying them. Why don't you get out there
33:01
and find a new one that you might enjoy.
33:04
I'm talking ones with chips inside of it. Yeah,
33:06
there are chips inside. There are things inside the
33:08
Reese's cups now. Did you know about that? So
33:10
when you go out there and get it, save
33:12
one for me because I would like one. Talking
33:15
about these Reese's peanut butter cups right now has
33:17
made me hungry for one. So why
33:19
don't we both go to a store right now, wherever
33:21
candy is sold and buy one. Go
33:23
out of your comfort level, find a new flavor,
33:25
you will love it. I
33:29
know that I travel a lot. I assume
33:31
that many of you travel a lot and
33:33
one of the ways that I keep connected
33:36
to my world is through my phone and
33:38
I need to make sure that my phone
33:40
stays connected. Which is why I am on
33:42
T-Mobile, America's largest and fastest 5G network. Because
33:45
I can have my games, I can have
33:47
my apps, I can have my playlists. I
33:49
can even watch movies from this podcast right
33:52
on my phone and here's the best part.
33:54

35:16
spoken about Erin's measured
35:19
tone, and
35:21
do you have clips of the moments
35:23
when she, Yes. When she
35:25
exhibits, Comes alive. When she exhibits
35:28
the only other emotional
35:30
pull that she seems to have.
35:32
Yeah. I mean, we should watch
35:35
the breakup just for a second because this is pretty
35:37
great, because here's the plan. Honest to God, I would
35:39
re-watch this whole movie with you people here right now.
35:41
It really is. You guys, you
35:45
guys get it. You get it, you
35:47
get it. That's why I say
35:49
it's next level. I
35:51
don't get from you, but I get
35:53
from Taylor. Taylor's
35:57
there. my
36:00
issue. Was the plan, I'm going to
36:02
break up with you and then when I break up with her,
36:04
Taylor, why don't you come in and you can explain your side
36:06
of it. And then Taylor's like, well,
36:08
do you want to do it on the way
36:10
to the courthouse or should we maybe do it
36:12
like on Thanksgiving Day? Yeah, and should we let
36:14
her get dressed in that wedding dress?
36:17
It's going to be more interesting to do it right there.
36:19
Travis is a coward. Travis
36:22
is a coward who should
36:26
have done this, I mean,
36:28
ages ago. Taylor should have said something.
36:30
I feel like though, Travis, I
36:32
feel like Taylor is there for the wedding. Like
36:34
I feel like she's, she's supposed to be there.
36:37
I don't think she's like as their witness.
36:39
She's not dressed for it. Someone's dead. And
36:41
I think that's true. She's not dressed for
36:43
it. Someone in the audience said amazing.
36:46
Okay, then, no, so she is just conveniently,
36:48
there wasn't going to be a wedding that
36:50
day. And so she storms off. And let
36:52
me just say one thing. If you've not
36:54
seen the movie, you have to know that
36:56
our main character here, Aaron, played by Charlotte
36:58
Sullivan, is carrying a dog
37:00
in her, like her arm
37:02
is always in like an L shape. The
37:04
dog is permanently in her, like
37:07
even when she's walking around her. Can I add
37:09
to what you're saying? This is
37:11
a movie that is full of multiple
37:13
scenes where people are having emotional conversations,
37:15
both of whom are holding two puppies.
37:18
It is so funny and
37:21
awkward to watch people hold
37:23
wild animals while trying to
37:25
act. All right, so here
37:27
is, here is the first
37:30
explosion of her, of her,
37:32
this is the first time we get to
37:34
see Aaron pop off. This is a person
37:36
coming undone. Okay.
37:42
Okay, you. Can you pause
37:44
for a second? That's a point
37:47
of view shot from the dog. Just
37:50
so you understand, this movie
37:52
has POV shots from the
37:54
dog's point of view. Which
37:56
would have been so cool
37:58
if they... They had done something
38:00
with it. But once or twice. So
38:03
it's odd. It's like there's no pattern.
38:05
And I thought for sure, oh, he's
38:07
this dog, Galileo. Is gonna talk. Is
38:09
going to Goliath. What's his name again?
38:12
Goliath. You know what? It's going to.
38:14
Actually, I'm with you. It's
38:17
Galileo. Galileo. Galileo. I
38:20
like. Eat shit, San Francisco. For sure.
38:22
You don't correct us. We correct you.
38:25
For sure. Galileo is gonna like jump
38:28
and chomp on his balls like and
38:30
I want to see it. I'm ready
38:32
for it. But also here. There's
38:34
also here a clear relationship between
38:37
Travis and Galileo that is fascinating.
38:40
Well, but Travis says on the way
38:42
to get married after dating
38:44
for three years. Why
38:46
does he hate me? Like today
38:48
is the day we're asking that
38:51
question. And the answer, Travis, is
38:53
he smells other pussy on you.
38:57
Great. And even
38:59
if it's Galileo gets it.
39:01
But here's what's so weird about
39:03
her. I
39:06
don't know her approach to her work. Her
39:08
answer to that is, oh, he's really protective
39:10
of me. And I don't
39:12
know everything about dogs, but I'm like, I know
39:14
a little. And that's
39:17
your fault, Erin. Like you should
39:19
be working day and night to
39:22
make sure that that dog isn't
39:24
overly protective. That's physicians. That's
39:26
your job. He'll myself. And
39:30
I will say that, look,
39:33
here's the thing. This
39:37
guy has got a secret server full
39:39
of women. He's got, he
39:42
doesn't even have an alternate email.
39:44
He's got a server. How
39:47
many women do you need to be
39:49
fucking to have a private server? I
39:51
mean, and I don't even know what
39:54
that means, really. But to me, like
39:56
when I hear a server, it's like,
39:58
that's like a corporation. So you
40:00
and I wouldn't even be on the same Wi-Fi? Is
40:02
that what it means? It would mean that we'd be
40:05
in a hot spot and I know different
40:07
computers It would mean
40:09
that Taylor is a hacker Taylor
40:12
it means like Taylor Taylor
40:15
found Hillary's emails like
40:20
For Taylor to find us is everybody
40:22
like a tech genius Sam Fran is
40:24
it normal for a person of a
40:26
private server? Also, do you guys like
40:29
being called fan Fran? I
40:32
know I know you don't know Like
40:35
being called frisco I
40:40
literally every every post
40:42
for this show I make sure Every
40:45
post for the show. I made sure I never
40:48
said San Fran at Francisco But
40:51
um, so this is the first out first. Okay. Sorry.
40:53
Yeah, this is her out first Erin
41:09
is a psycho By
41:11
the way, also this movie
41:14
Erin learned nothing
41:17
That is its journey is
41:20
not an arc. It is a flat
41:22
line And she's like
41:25
a creepy person, you know, there's something
41:27
very she has a line where she
41:29
says and I think she's joking But
41:32
who knows with her
41:34
cadence? She says It's
41:37
nice to be with people who are alive Yes,
41:40
so, you know what that was like, but
41:42
you know what that was This is
41:44
why I think she improvised a lot because I think there's
41:46
a lot of work in there because she said we're family
41:48
And she said oh most of my family are dead. So
41:51
it's good to be with family who are alive Whoa
41:55
Taylor at one point and and you
41:58
know Taylor has it coming And
42:00
I want I don't want to talk about Taylor's arc and the
42:02
penance she pays which is to I guess
42:05
Taylor learns from the 12 pups of Christmas
42:08
Well, we don't see that movie. We don't see it
42:10
But I need like a rose and cramps and gilder
42:12
and stern for Taylor We really do because I'm like
42:14
Taylor I do think that Taylor
42:16
if I had done that to
42:18
a friend I do think
42:20
Taylor is making the right moves like just showing
42:22
up and being like I fucked up I
42:25
need to make a man need to make amends and
42:27
an Aaron You
42:30
know give us her an opportunity to do
42:32
that now it is taking care of at
42:34
that point I think only ten pups if
42:36
you don't really know they kind
42:38
of mess up the math because she goes you
42:40
need to take care of 13
42:42
why go out then she gives away two pups
42:44
and she comes back and she was like I've
42:46
just been taking care of 12 pups, so one
42:48
went away, but she gave away two but there
42:50
was and I don't know parvo hit or what
42:52
but Number of
42:55
pups is in one and going and
42:57
why is Taylor carrying all of them?
42:59
You don't need to marry them around
43:01
like but she's children, but she does
43:03
say to Taylor She says
43:06
to her when they're in the house. She says
43:08
you are I
43:10
have it always been very
43:13
weak Taylor She
43:16
says it twice Positioning
43:18
and screaming of this isn't like you're such
43:21
a bitch you're so how could you do this? She's
43:23
like you're weak You're weak you're
43:25
weak you was always you've
43:27
always been weak that saying
43:29
I thought this forever It's
43:33
so chilling it was
43:35
always been Erin is a terrible
43:37
friend Erin is
43:39
ungenerous unkind No,
43:41
but Erin is awful because like even when
43:44
she's on the flight with her, you know
43:46
would be bow And he's afraid of flying.
43:48
She's like you're afraid of flying Wings
43:50
on fire and he's like what what and
43:53
he's like, I'm just joking you asshole. Fuck you
43:56
And he's like, oh and he's like you see I
43:58
got you over your fear of falling Get
44:00
out of here, Grosso. Like, it's...
44:02
You're aggressive. She gets him over his fear
44:05
of flying also by
44:07
calling him a piece of shit. Yeah, that's what I'm
44:09
saying. She's like, hey, you're a piece of shit. You
44:11
stole my ideas. You pawned them off as your own.
44:13
You're a piece of shit. And he's like, well, wait
44:15
a minute. No, I didn't. And then she's like, ha
44:17
ha, just kidding. I got
44:19
you over your fear of flying. And it's
44:21
like, she's playing games that are fucking nuts
44:23
level. But then... Like, psycho bullshit.
44:25
I was like, what? But then he basically says, like,
44:27
oh, were you kidding? And she's like, not really. Like,
44:30
it's like... Really
44:32
strange. Yikes. She
44:34
is... That's like... Like,
44:36
it feels like a movie about a serial killer.
44:39
Yeah. And then what did she say? Well, she
44:41
does come off. And I thought
44:43
for sure... Well, once
44:45
we realized she was an orphan, you know, which I
44:47
thought was coming. She had... Wait,
44:49
who? Erin. She's an orphan?
44:52
Well, I think she's... Her... Both of her parents are dead. Jason, do
44:54
you want to weigh in on this one? I don't think... She
44:57
does tell a backstory
44:59
story about how, like...
45:02
I think she's an adult orphan, like me. Yeah.
45:06
Is that what it is? Oh, okay. An
45:08
adult orphan. Okay. I think you're
45:10
right then. No, no. She wasn't like, like, all of her
45:12
quits. She wasn't an orphan child. I mean, maybe she was,
45:15
but... She was not like, can I have some more? Sorry.
45:18
Yeah, that's what I thought. She might have been like an adult... I
45:20
think she's an adult orphan. And I guess
45:22
orphan's not the right word, but she does have...
45:24
No, no, no. I do
45:26
think that there's a trope in these
45:28
movies where, you
45:31
know, adult orphans
45:33
are portrayed as really, really
45:35
sad. That's only eight pups. But
45:38
unfortunately, what I think is supposed to
45:40
come off as sort of sad and
45:43
more connected to animals than people
45:45
ends up coming off psychotic.
45:49
It's the way that she stares. And
45:52
this is... Yeah. The
45:54
unblinking, unemotional... It is.
45:56
It is. Except
45:58
when she's with Carly. Yeah. And then
46:00
it's popping. Well, at the Christmas party,
46:02
at the Christmas party, at the company
46:04
house that they all live at, why
46:08
do they all live in the same house? Is that
46:10
what you guys do here? No? I
46:13
do think... No, I feel like this person over
46:15
here was like, kind of. I
46:18
also really want to have a conversation
46:20
with a costume designer because the number
46:23
women under 60 who are wearing Christmas
46:25
pins is
46:30
utterly insane. Everyone
46:32
has a sweater and a pin
46:34
on. I mean, let's watch a little bit
46:36
of this Christmas party because it's really good.
46:38
And I will say... Does this include the
46:40
Jingle Bells sing-along? It might. You're
46:43
part of our family now. Everybody, Aaron's here.
46:45
Hi. Hello. Hi.
46:48
How are you? Is this it? This is your
46:50
new family. Don't you just family? Can
46:52
you pause for a second? Everything... everything so
46:55
far is from a horror
46:57
movie. By
47:04
the way, everybody, everybody,
47:07
Aaron's here. Hi.
47:10
This is the trailer that we need
47:12
to cut. This is your new family.
47:14
This is Mitch Somar. What? And
47:17
Somar and this are similar in
47:20
so many ways. This is more
47:22
dogs or pups. This is terrifying.
47:25
I will tell you this much too. I've seen
47:27
the house. There's no way to... The
47:30
movie? The house? The
47:32
house... Yes. You were great. You
47:35
were great. Please. But I've seen... Like, the
47:37
house isn't big enough to house the
47:39
amount of people at this party.
47:42
That means that people are sleeping cult-like in
47:45
bunk beds. Three bunk beds
47:47
to a room. Six to a room. And
47:49
in six to a room. Everybody's singing jingle bells.
47:52
They should all be like, what do we do?
47:55
What is this company? Yeah. And,
47:57
Ar, is my check gonna clear next week? seem
48:00
to be being paid in stock options and happy with it but
48:02
everyone comes to her with a problem. Now watch this. Here we
48:04
go. Can
48:07
you pause for a second? She's still
48:09
whispering all
48:15
her lines. They're at a party. It's nice to
48:17
be with people in our lives. It's nice. It's
48:19
so good. I'm so happy to be here. I'm
48:21
so happy to be here. I'm so happy to
48:23
be here. I love it. I
48:25
love being here. At one point when she's cleaning up
48:28
the dishes, Carly says,
48:31
Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. It's so great. It's
48:33
so great. It's so good. It's so
48:35
good. It's so good. It's so good. I'm so happy
48:37
to be here. I can't believe that it's
48:43
everything so good. It's really good. Everything is so good.
48:45
Everything is so good. I think it's so good. I
48:47
think it's so good. Oh my God. I think it's
48:49
so good. This is the most
48:52
amazing thing
48:54
I've ever
48:56
seen in my life. And
48:58
again, we talk about this movie, there's no continuity
49:00
because at one point when she's cleaning up glasses,
49:02
Carly goes, Now that's a sign of a good
49:05
guest. Well, no, you live
49:07
there. That's your house. You're
49:09
not a guest anymore. You live here. But here we go. This is
49:11
the end of the party scene. That's
49:14
like, that's like one of
49:17
the only peaks.
49:20
The sound department
49:22
was like, Oh, I'll
49:29
tell you the other thing. I will tell
49:31
you the other thing that I get with,
49:33
uh, just to go to Erin again and
49:35
her psychosis because I'm thinking
49:38
about it. Was it like if, at the
49:41
end of the movie, it was like a, a, a
49:43
Blumhouse reveal. All they need is a little reediting. And
49:45
June, I want to ask your opinion on this as
49:47
well. Like, so when her boyfriend
49:49
comes back, right? When her boyfriend comes back into
49:51
the picture at the end, he's
49:54
like, he basically puts his arm on
49:57
her, like on her. He's like, I want you back.
50:00
Then the guy comes in and punches her
50:02
ex and then when the cop comes in He's like
50:04
he had his hands on me and I
50:07
felt like she was trying to get him arrested And I
50:09
don't feel like he was attacking her or even
50:11
really aggressively touching her I
50:13
thought he had both hands It
50:18
was grabby for sure right
50:20
but then but Travis says
50:22
not to Paul that Travis
50:24
says She assaulted
50:26
me Right, yeah, that's
50:28
where I was like whoa Travis
50:31
what are you up to? But I just felt
50:33
like she really was like trying to I felt
50:35
like she was trying to get him jailed For
50:39
this I know we can make this I
50:46
Love this woman want to know everything
50:48
about her another Maria
50:50
fan for character Hey By
50:56
the way listen to the music under the fight
50:58
scene it's like herb your enthusiasm kind of the
51:00
horn The movie
51:02
is all public domain music or
51:05
silence Who
51:14
are you I'm her boyfriend what I
51:18
just saved her from this meeting he was helping
51:20
me Okay,
51:23
tell it to the judge but she's
51:26
not brought in as a witness So
51:30
it's just the two guys who fought but not
51:32
the third party tell her to go to jail
51:34
No for her testify. Oh, you're saying
51:36
lock her up Paul
51:40
is saying lock up lock
51:42
her up Lie wait
51:44
what Paul I was just saying
51:47
that I felt like she should She
51:49
should be able to be there to at least tell her
51:51
side in jail To
51:54
the cop no one took a statement. No one
51:56
took a statement. I don't know where his partner
51:58
was I don't Also, the
52:00
cop is going to arrest both of these guys,
52:03
tell it to the judge, who's pressing
52:05
charges? Is that what I'm saying?
52:09
Who's the aggrieved party? And why is
52:11
she so surprised that he's her boyfriend
52:13
when he left a note like this?
52:16
Okay, is this note framed? It
52:20
is. I mean, it
52:22
seems some sort of... Because at
52:24
first I thought he took the menu. That's
52:27
what I think he did do. Just like that's what he's
52:29
done. Okay, but what a
52:31
weird choice the movie makes here. Well,
52:33
they're just in New York staying at
52:36
the San Carlos. Right. Just
52:38
let him write a note. Like, why
52:41
put it in the frame or take out
52:43
the frame? Like, maybe that was the Wi-Fi
52:45
and password. Yes.
52:47
Also, see you downstairs.
52:51
See you downstairs? Like,
52:54
you're an amazing woman. I cannot wait
52:56
for our future. See you at breakfast.
52:59
Like, this is the
53:01
note where you're like, oh, I was
53:03
drunk. Oh,
53:06
I hooked up with an idiot. Why
53:09
did I do this? He is a true...
53:11
And I did really enjoy his performance
53:13
because it's like, oh, he's
53:15
an actual idiot, you know? And
53:18
by the way, June? It was
53:21
refreshing. June best errands type. That's
53:24
true. Erin dates morons. Because
53:26
I do think like, Erin's kind of an idiot
53:28
too, but she's one of those idiots that's like,
53:30
I want to be in a relationship where I
53:33
can feel like I'm the smart one. Yeah. And
53:36
but like, everybody else is like, you're both idiots.
53:39
Wait, I'm also remembering when
53:42
they're falling in love and telling their backstory.
53:44
She's like, I grew up on Staten
53:46
Island every day. It's just a ferry to school. Wait,
53:49
you took the ferry to school? And I'm sorry.
53:51
That's bigger than... Not like you grew up on
53:53
Roosevelt Island. Also, it's like, there's not
53:55
a single person in Staten Island that
53:57
talks like that. Yeah. There's you staring at me. I'm
54:00
from Staten Island every day. No
54:02
you're not from Staten Island. I went to a friend
54:04
school. I checked this. My commute to school is three
54:06
and a half hours. If you grew up
54:09
in Staten Island, you screamed. She dated
54:11
Pete Davidson. Left Staten Island. I love
54:13
that. Boy
54:15
would I love that. And
54:17
by the way, if you're from Staten Island,
54:19
throw out a Wu-Tang Clan reference. Come on.
54:22
Protect your neck. Give me something. Tell
54:25
it to the judge I wrote. That's
54:27
a revenge. The cop kept saying,
54:30
tell it to the judge. It
54:32
made me laugh. So, tell it
54:34
to the judge. Tell it to the judge. What?
54:38
Come on. It doesn't even seem like they get
54:40
tried. It doesn't even seem like that's part of
54:42
it. The only chemistry in this movie, like
54:45
straight up, is Aaron and
54:47
Carly, period. The
54:50
only couple though that I'm interested in,
54:52
Taylor and Carly. Give me that forever.
54:55
Let Taylor and Carly be a couple.
54:57
Let them raise all the pups. Taylor
54:59
and Carly? I want it. I'm
55:02
shipping Carly. Are they even
55:04
a bit seen together? No, but they are
55:06
the only normal people in the movie, according
55:09
to me. No, Taylor's
55:11
not normal. I do think Taylor's
55:13
psychotic as well. Taylor's a movie
55:15
where everybody is psychotic. Carly
55:18
is not psychotic. Yes, of course
55:20
she is, babe. Of course she
55:23
is. She hired Aaron just to
55:25
fix her brother, who's her boss,
55:27
even though Carly is clearly a
55:29
genius. Carly is not a-
55:33
Martin is like a- Martin is
55:35
like a Dutch wooden shoe. A
55:39
sable? Is he a sable? He's
55:41
a sentient clog. This
55:44
dude is a fucking dunce
55:48
times a million. I mean,
55:50
again, all- She
55:54
could have brought so many things to the
55:56
table. The thing that she- Like, he didn't
55:58
figure out that dog gone. And
56:01
I love that he goes like this, like, let's
56:03
rename it, Dog and Found. We
56:05
don't like that. And he's like,
56:08
Animal Tracker. And then someone goes, oh,
56:10
it rhymes with Animal Crackers. I like
56:12
it. Yeah,
56:16
agree. That's the thing, everybody's an idiot.
56:18
Everybody's an idiot. Why? Why
56:21
is the fun, this is a movie, I
56:23
think this movie is for people at home
56:25
to feel like, oh, I'm smarter
56:27
than them. At
56:30
least I'm smarter than them,
56:32
and they're millionaires. When she arrives
56:34
at Dog On, and they're hooking
56:37
up collars to dogs that appear
56:39
to have, I don't
56:41
know, lunch boxes attached to them.
56:44
There are people, scientists are in
56:47
lab coats, but in the middle
56:49
of the office. So it
56:51
doesn't seem like that's a sterile environment. And
56:53
it also seems that they don't need to
56:55
have the dog in a sterile environment to
56:57
put the collar on. Anyway, I
57:00
just wanted to put this one scene up, because
57:02
we can see the relationship between these two people.
57:05
My fiance here. And
57:08
he's kind of like, help me on my wedding day.
57:10
Can you pause for a second, Mom? Can you
57:12
hear her? No. My
57:15
fiance. My fiance. Shwish, shwish, shwish, shwish, shwish,
57:17
shwish. My fiance. Can I have a family
57:19
wedding day? She left me on a wedding
57:21
day, sitting alone. They sound like
57:23
the Quiet Place monsters, right? She
57:26
would be the one that would actually survive in
57:28
the Quiet Place, no problem. It's like when you're
57:30
on the Amtrak quiet car and you see a
57:33
couple get into a fight. Why
57:37
didn't I just want my aunt to stay here? You're not, no.
57:40
You should have stood up for me when your
57:42
mom said that. I don't understand. Your mom was
57:44
clearly belittling me. No, babe, babe,
57:46
babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe,
57:48
babe, come on, babe. I
57:56
know. Carly's got all the
57:59
earrings. You. Do you? Oh.
58:03
No. I don't know.
58:05
Now please don't pause it for a
58:07
second. Poor dog. Poor dog. Poor dog.
58:09
Poor dog. And
58:12
this is the only time, this
58:14
is the only time I can
58:16
legitimately say, look at those sweater
58:18
puppies and I'm talking about those
58:20
puppies. At this
58:22
point in the movie I thought, for
58:25
sure, because when I say we watched this
58:27
movie twice, we really watched, I think half
58:29
of it the first time. You fell asleep the
58:31
first time. So I didn't see the second half. I saw all the
58:33
way up to the fight. Okay. So
58:35
I, up until during this scene
58:37
I was like, I think that Carly's
58:40
like an elf? That's what I
58:42
thought. Whenever he's rewatching it,
58:44
he's gonna be Santa. Well
58:46
let's talk about that. So
58:51
we find out, although we already know because they
58:54
don't do a great job of hiding it, that
58:56
he's playing Santa Claus to a
58:59
bunch of... Orsons? Yeah.
59:02
Kids, he goes, he's repeatedly... And
59:05
why would he need to hide
59:07
that? He repeatedly arrives at work
59:09
in a Santa costume. Quite often
59:11
and I think year round. And
59:14
when he's in, and multiple times
59:17
in the elevator with Aaron, he
59:19
also inexplicably just doesn't talk. As
59:23
if Santa doesn't... As if
59:25
that's like a private moment? That's why I
59:27
thought he kept on saying I need to get it done by
59:29
Christmas Eve, because he was Santa and this is gonna be
59:31
the gift that Santa was gonna give to all the dog
59:33
owners of the world. And then his
59:35
sister was an elf who was like Santa
59:37
needs love because he's so obsessed with getting
59:39
toys for other kids. So that was the
59:41
story I was following. Well and also what...
59:44
Well okay, to your credit, I
59:46
want to piggyback off of exactly what you said, because
59:49
I do think the movie is suggesting
59:52
that, because it puts Aaron in the
59:54
Mrs. Claus red suit and she says...
59:56
Yes, sure it does. Or what
59:59
did she say? Mrs. Kringle or whatever. I'm
1:00:01
the Mrs. Kringle or something like that. And there
1:00:03
is a way in which the movie is, wow,
1:00:06
the movie has all of the
1:00:08
ingredients for a movie
1:00:11
that could have worked, but it
1:00:13
really isn't interested in doing any
1:00:15
of it. Like it's about Aaron
1:00:17
and it's about Mrs. Claus finding
1:00:19
a Santa Claus, who's
1:00:21
a Scrooge who needs the 12
1:00:23
pups of Christmas. Every one
1:00:25
of them is a stage of the cross for
1:00:28
Jesus Christ. Obviously. Right,
1:00:30
the 12 stations of the cross.
1:00:32
Obviously. Christ, He has to
1:00:34
walk the stations in order to be crucified.
1:00:36
He dies for our sins. Amen.
1:00:40
He is Christmas. Put Christ back in Christmas,
1:00:42
people. If we give you one message tonight,
1:00:44
that's the one to leave with. We've always
1:00:46
said it. This is what
1:00:48
we're talking about. The 12 pups of Christmas, the
1:00:51
12 stations of the cross. Anyway,
1:00:53
the 12 pups of Christmas could
1:00:55
have been how we get from
1:00:57
Scrooge to Santa to Mrs. Claus.
1:00:59
And instead they're like, we got
1:01:01
to go to New York. So
1:01:03
you can pitch the Asian businessman
1:01:05
where they play weird Asian music
1:01:07
in the movie. Which
1:01:09
is terrible. Next level of that.
1:01:12
There is a gong in the
1:01:14
movie. This
1:01:16
movie has a gong sound effect.
1:01:19
And again, she's so good with people or
1:01:22
whatever, but she doesn't understand that this man
1:01:24
is not. She has, she's
1:01:26
pitching for 20 minutes before she realizes
1:01:29
that he does not understand. I like to
1:01:31
believe that they shot that scene and cut
1:01:34
it because they were like, it's offensive. Before
1:01:37
we go out to the audience, I want to do something
1:01:39
that we've never done here. Give
1:01:41
up. So
1:01:44
I don't know if you have,
1:01:48
if you've been hearing about this, but
1:01:50
there is this AI bot. Okay.
1:01:52
And so what, you got so
1:01:54
scared. Yeah. What did you do, Paul?
1:01:56
All right. So this AI bot, you
1:01:59
type in a question. and the AI
1:02:01
bot will give you an
1:02:03
answer. And so our producer, Scott, typed in
1:02:05
a question. Can you please write a
1:02:07
script scene of how did this get made of the
1:02:10
podcast host discussing the movie 12 Pups of Christmas live
1:02:12
in front of an audience in San Francisco? Wait,
1:02:15
you can, wait, this is real? Yup. Not understand.
1:02:18
So this is Jason's script pass at the Jason.
1:02:20
What? This is June's script
1:02:22
pass at the June. Oh. I'm
1:02:27
not gonna look at this. Yeah. I
1:02:29
will read stage directions here and we go
1:02:31
interior, San Francisco
1:02:33
theater night. Paul, Jason and
1:02:36
June are standing on stage. Can I pause for a
1:02:38
second? The bot wrote this? Yes. I'm
1:02:41
totally serious. That's what I'm wondering. The bot
1:02:43
wrote even this. Yes. Okay, got it,
1:02:45
got it, got it. Interior, San Francisco theater night.
1:02:47
Paul, Jason and June are standing on stage in
1:02:50
front of a large audience. Welcome to
1:02:52
How Did This Get Made live from San Francisco.
1:02:55
How Did This Get Made live from San
1:02:58
Francisco? Shut up. I
1:03:02
have a line. Today
1:03:04
we're gonna be discussing the holiday movie 12
1:03:07
Pups of Christmas. I have to say, I was
1:03:09
not expecting this movie to be as bad as it
1:03:11
was. The title itself is ridiculous. Yeah,
1:03:14
then when you actually watch it, there are
1:03:16
only six puppies in the entire movie. And
1:03:20
the plot is just all over
1:03:23
the place. It's like they
1:03:25
threw in every holiday movie cliche.
1:03:28
They could think of. Right, the poor dog
1:03:30
acting was also a major distraction. I've never
1:03:32
seen such poorly trained puppies on screen. And
1:03:35
let's not forget about the villainous real estate
1:03:37
developer who wants to tear down the mansion
1:03:39
and build a mall. It's
1:03:41
just so over the top. But
1:03:44
the worst part has to be the
1:03:47
terrible Christmas songs they play throughout the
1:03:49
movie. It's
1:03:51
like listening to your drunk uncle sing
1:03:54
jingle bells at a family gathering, but
1:03:56
with the puppies humping each other in
1:03:58
stir. Jason. How
1:04:01
did B.A.I. know? I'm the pervert! Jason,
1:04:05
that's not appropriate. Yeah, let's
1:04:07
try to keep it clean,
1:04:09
Jason. Sorry, sorry. I got
1:04:11
carried away. That's all right.
1:04:14
Now, on a more serious note, June and I
1:04:17
actually have a funny story about our marriage and
1:04:19
12-fuck the couple. Right. So, we
1:04:21
were watching the movie in our first
1:04:23
Christmas together, the married couple, and we
1:04:26
were both so disappointed by it that we ended up
1:04:28
getting into a huge argument. And then, in the heat
1:04:30
of the moment, we both just started barking at each
1:04:32
other like puppies in the movie. But then, out of
1:04:34
nowhere, we heard a knock on the door and it
1:04:36
was a pizza delivery guy. And he looked at us
1:04:39
like we were completely insane, standing there barking at each
1:04:41
other like a couple of lunatics. He was so absurd, but
1:04:43
it ended up breaking the tension and we started laughing about
1:04:45
it. Yeah, it's one of those moments that
1:04:47
we look back on now and we can't help but chuckle.
1:04:49
Exactly, and it's a reminder that even the worst movies can
1:04:51
bring us closer together. Thanks for joining
1:04:54
us tonight. We'll see you next time on How Did This
1:04:56
Get Made? I am
1:04:58
so confused. For real. For
1:05:02
real. I don't understand
1:05:04
it. So, we put it in again. Let's
1:05:07
see what it comes up with for a second time. And
1:05:10
this one, the audience is in here a little bit more. There
1:05:13
we go. Interior, San Francisco theater night, Paul, June,
1:05:15
and Jason are on stage. Microphones
1:05:17
in hand as they discuss the 12 Pups of
1:05:19
Christmas. So, what did everyone
1:05:21
think of this movie? I
1:05:24
thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Yeah,
1:05:26
I mean, I can't even imagine how
1:05:29
this idea came about. Let's
1:05:31
make a Christmas movie about 12 puppies
1:05:33
that saved the day. Audience
1:05:36
laughs. And
1:05:39
the thing is, it's not even a good Christmas
1:05:41
movie. I mean, there's no romance, no heartwarming moments,
1:05:44
just puppies doing silly things. And the acting is
1:05:46
terrible. I don't think any of those puppies were
1:05:48
actually trained to do the things they were doing.
1:05:51
Speaking of things being trained, did you guys hear the
1:05:53
one about the guy who trained his dog to give
1:05:56
him oral? Audience laughs.
1:05:59
The audience... His laugh. His
1:06:21
boss gets me! Okay
1:06:25
Jason, let's keep it PG please. Sorry, sorry,
1:06:27
but seriously this movie is so bad! You
1:06:29
know what's even worse? The fact they made
1:06:31
a sequel. Oh god, don't even get me
1:06:34
started on that. But speaking of sequels, did
1:06:36
you guys know that June and I actually
1:06:38
got married on the set of
1:06:40
the sequel to this movie? Audience dap. Yeah,
1:06:45
it was kind of a spur of the moment thing.
1:06:47
We were both so fed up with the production that
1:06:49
we just decided to elope. And the best
1:06:51
part? We exchanged our vows while a bunch
1:06:53
of puppies were running around our feet. Audience
1:06:55
lab. Yep,
1:06:59
it was a pretty ridiculous day, but hey, at least
1:07:01
we have a funny story to tell now. And a
1:07:03
terrible movie to look back on. Definitely, but hey, that's
1:07:05
what makes it so perfect for how did this get
1:07:08
made. I
1:07:17
don't know about all this. I'm
1:07:19
expelled. I feel revealed. I
1:07:25
feel vulnerable right now. I do too, and
1:07:27
I don't like this. It's
1:07:29
so interesting. The first, each of the
1:07:32
scripts is thirds, right? The first third
1:07:34
is we're talking about the movie. The
1:07:37
second third is I say something gross, you guys
1:07:39
correct me. And the third third is
1:07:41
your guys' marriage. That's
1:07:44
both scripts or that. That's
1:07:47
fucking crazy! I
1:07:51
freaked out right now. What is this Paul? Why did
1:07:53
you do this? This is what Scott found it to
1:07:55
everyone's talking about it. Alright, I'm going to go out
1:07:57
to the audience right now. All
1:08:02
right, sir, your name, if you have a dog name, you
1:08:04
can give me that, the one that would be great for
1:08:06
12 pups of Christmas. And then your question. Uh,
1:08:09
Damani, and then maybe, um, Mistletoe?
1:08:11
Ooh, I love that. So
1:08:14
I'm trying to make sure I understand this correctly. Carly,
1:08:18
uh, so she accepts the
1:08:20
job in San Francisco before
1:08:24
she knows that her fiance is
1:08:26
going to break up with her. Is that correct? That
1:08:28
is... Carly, Carly is... Aaron. Yes,
1:08:32
yes, yes. But Carly has
1:08:35
hired her, even though she knows she's married,
1:08:37
to come date her brother. Yeah, you see,
1:08:39
that was my issue. Oh, I think she's...
1:08:42
Oh, wow, yeah. She said, at the end
1:08:44
of the movie, she said, I did your,
1:08:46
I did my research on you, and I,
1:08:48
and I knew that you were divorced because
1:08:50
when she said... Okay, you know what
1:08:52
though, Paul? I think Carly is
1:08:54
so brilliant. And I think Carly
1:08:56
probably has already hacked into that
1:08:58
private server. Maybe. Wow.
1:09:01
She's a CEO nine times. Yeah,
1:09:04
Carly's a hacker. We
1:09:06
just missed the scene where she,
1:09:08
like, hacks like Hugh Jackman to,
1:09:10
like, rap rock and figures
1:09:12
out, like, that, that Aaron's been dumped. Here we
1:09:14
go. Your name, question, dog, name,
1:09:16
dog question. Yeah. My name
1:09:18
is Reagan. Dog name, Holly Berry. My question
1:09:20
is, at the very end of the movie,
1:09:22
the angel investor who comes in and saves
1:09:24
the company, is his dad who he met
1:09:27
in jail? And
1:09:29
you didn't know that his dad was
1:09:31
a billionaire? Well, yeah, I was confused
1:09:33
about that too. I was going to ask him, did I
1:09:35
miss something? Oh, I think his dad came and bailed
1:09:38
him out of jail. Oh.
1:09:40
But it was really confusing. And the way it was
1:09:42
set up as the one that met him in jail.
1:09:44
And I agree that that was a... I
1:09:46
mean, listen, are you suggesting the movie is
1:09:48
not well written? Or is
1:09:51
confusingly written? Absolutely. It
1:09:54
was interesting
1:09:56
that the dad didn't join the first round of
1:09:58
funding, but was like, that the company's
1:10:00
in this position, I'm in. But
1:10:03
also, he's in the club now. He's
1:10:05
blazing it. I'm with the dad. I'm with
1:10:07
the dad. That other product was not good.
1:10:10
I wouldn't have invested in it either. I
1:10:12
guess. Martin is dragging
1:10:14
Carly down with him. I do,
1:10:16
San Francisco, I hate to do this. I've had so much fun.
1:10:18
I do have to get on a flight back to LA and
1:10:20
I know this is a huge disappointment. I know,
1:10:22
I know. We have our wonderful nanny
1:10:24
has given birth, so we are desperate
1:10:26
in childcare situations. So that's why June
1:10:29
is going to go back and I'm
1:10:31
going to figure out how to get
1:10:33
back there in a couple days. So
1:10:35
sorry to leave you. And if Paul
1:10:37
doesn't come back, enjoy San Francisco, enjoy
1:10:39
Paul's share. Obviously,
1:10:43
we had an opinion about this movie, but there are
1:10:45
people out there with a different opinion. It's now time
1:10:48
for second opinions. Yeah.
1:10:51
Yeah. A
1:10:54
review page of Amazon. Here's
1:10:59
my second opinion. The
1:11:04
movie's greatest good. Hey,
1:11:08
the therapist for dogs. And
1:11:14
in this weird text art, there's no one
1:11:16
in a jar. I
1:11:24
met her with dogs and people. I
1:11:29
remember being by my dog. Amazing.
1:11:36
Amazing, what was that? Great
1:11:39
work, great work. Very
1:11:41
festive. All right, so there are
1:11:43
93 total reviews, 59%
1:11:46
are five star, 10% are one star. We'll
1:11:50
read some of those one stars as well. But
1:11:52
this one is written by anonymous, May 22nd, 2020. I
1:11:56
love this movie. The hacker group? I
1:12:00
think so. When they're not... I
1:12:02
would love it if that's... Anonymous was...
1:12:05
If that's part of what they were up to. It's
1:12:08
just leaving Amazon reviews for holiday
1:12:10
movies. You know, you work hard,
1:12:12
you play hard. Anonymous writes, Love

1:12:57
that's a weird review. But,
1:13:03
as our producer Scott pointed
1:13:05
out, three people clicked
1:13:07
that review as being helpful. Wow. Cool.
1:13:11
You keep reading. I'm sorry, I'm going to go pee. Oh,
1:13:14
yeah, well this is... Yeah, great. Be
1:13:16
right back. Okay, got it. And
1:13:18
then this one right here is from
1:13:20
Heather McKenzie. Not afraid to use her
1:13:22
full name. It's a one star review.
1:13:25
And the title is Not a Feel
1:13:28
Good Christmas Movie. The lead
1:13:30
character is a bitter, spiteful,
1:13:32
juvenile person who is a
1:13:34
canine therapist. She insists the
1:13:36
dogs are intuitive to human
1:13:38
feelings and yet she's
1:13:40
not a happy person. I
1:13:42
would not take my lab to her because
1:13:45
they would come back like Oscar the Grouch. The
1:13:49
puppies are cute though. One star.
1:13:55
And what I'll mention here is another one of our
1:13:57
producers, Molly, she points out that she has a friend.
1:14:00
who was a background artist in this film,
1:14:02
and all the San Francisco scenes were shot
1:14:04
in LA. It was all
1:14:06
shot during the summer, and the actors were
1:14:08
very uncomfortable in their winter clothes. They
1:14:11
did shoot some scenes in New York City,
1:14:13
but also it was summer, because people in
1:14:15
the background are wearing t-shirts and shorts. At
1:14:19
one point behind the lead actors, you see two
1:14:21
jet ski riders go by. And
1:14:28
finally this director, Michael
1:14:30
Felter, seems
1:14:33
to have taken a sharp pivot with
1:14:35
this film, as his earlier films were
1:14:37
Bundy, A Legacy of Evil,
1:14:41
Boston Strangler, The Untold
1:14:43
Story, Ed
1:14:45
Gein, The Butcher of Plainfield,
1:14:48
Chicago Massacre, Colin
1:14:51
Richards Beck, and BTK.
1:14:56
But once he did make this movie,
1:14:58
we did get to see a different
1:15:01
side, and we are now going to get
1:15:03
to show you some of that different side,
1:15:06
because he also directed The Dog Who Saved
1:15:08
Christmas, The Dog Who
1:15:10
Saved Christmas Vacation, The
1:15:12
Dog Who Saved the Holidays, A Christmas
1:15:15
Wedding Tale, A
1:15:17
Dog's Christmas Miracle, and
1:15:20
A Golden Christmas Three. So
1:15:23
real, like when you talk about
1:15:25
the greats, Kubrick, Spielberg,
1:15:27
put Michael Pfeiffer in there,
1:15:30
he goes from serial killers
1:15:32
to just dogs having fun
1:15:35
at Christmas. The movie came
1:15:37
out in 2019, the tagline is,
1:15:40
this Christmas brings a little puppy love,
1:15:42
and there's no tomato meter rating here,
1:15:44
but Jason, I think that you,
1:15:46
June, and I can all agree, this is a must
1:15:48
watch. Absolutely.
1:15:51
I mean, this was,
1:15:54
this, I mean, I, again, we didn't
1:15:56
get to so many of the notes that
1:15:58
I made, which was, Which
1:16:00
is always for me the case in
1:16:02
in a movie that I truly Thoroughly
1:16:05
enjoyed for what we're doing is that I'm looking at this thing and
1:16:07
I'm like, oh wait, we didn't talk about this We didn't talk about
1:16:09
it. I feel I love that this movie is absolute
1:16:14
dogshit literally The
1:16:18
scene we briefly mentioned that they're falling in
1:16:20
love in New York in the winter scene
1:16:22
is like shot clearly in summer I Wrote
1:16:25
down there is no chemistry between any of
1:16:28
these people. I wrote down tell it
1:16:30
to the judge so many times I
1:16:34
wrote down one line that I really wanted to talk
1:16:36
about where she arrived at the Christmas
1:16:38
party goes I forgot it was Christmas What
1:16:42
this company Deserved
1:16:44
to fail before we
1:16:47
get out of here. I want to take two quick things one
1:16:49
thing is this Drop dead Fred
1:16:51
one of our biggest episodes and one of the most
1:16:53
divisive episodes of all time on We
1:16:56
are read where we at Vanity
1:16:59
where we at Sam
1:17:02
Fran is sanity town Team
1:17:05
sanity getting a lot of cheers in
1:17:07
San Francisco V we are making a
1:17:09
limited edition vinyl album You can pre-order
1:17:11
before Christmas. It won't probably come until
1:17:13
May because we're making one pressing and
1:17:15
then when it's done It's done. That's
1:17:17
it. You have to order by December
1:17:19
21st go to hd tgm dot bandcamp
1:17:21
comm Mitch Garrett's who did our poster
1:17:23
that some of you might have gotten
1:17:25
here is gonna do
1:17:27
original art for the album Labels
1:17:29
themselves. There's gonna if this is this
1:17:32
is fucking cool everybody. This is for
1:17:34
nerds, but this is great stuff especially
1:17:36
if you are Onboard for
1:17:38
what is you know, I believe in arguably
1:17:41
one of the best episodes of this dumb one of
1:17:43
the most insane ones I mean there
1:17:45
was one of the most argumentative ones of all
1:17:47
time. The beauty of the analog recording is that
1:17:49
you can hear Casey Wilson's
1:17:51
vocal cords pop During
1:17:54
the show because she injured her
1:17:56
vocal cords screaming so much. It
1:17:59
was amazing and one
1:18:01
of the few times that we regret
1:18:03
not having people take pictures during the
1:18:05
show because we need more documentation and
1:18:07
we have so little of it. But
1:18:09
it was masterfully engineered by Devin Bryant,
1:18:11
our producer, who is with us here
1:18:13
tonight as well recording the show. An
1:18:15
amazing addition to this team,
1:18:18
an amazing producer, editor, engineer, the
1:18:20
whole thing. One of the great
1:18:22
give it up for Devin! One of the
1:18:24
great give it up for Devin! And
1:18:28
I'll be remiss if I didn't mention this,
1:18:30
but this is not announced yet, but I
1:18:32
figured we're all cool, we can talk about it here. On
1:18:34
December 16th and 17th, Rob Hubel
1:18:36
and I are hosting a show
1:18:38
that we created called Celebrity Garage
1:18:41
Sale, where we are giving away
1:18:43
a Hyundai on Twitch, the
1:18:45
first time it's ever been done. And
1:18:47
we are having insane guests on
1:18:49
there like Randall Park and Janelle
1:18:51
James, Poopies from Jackass. Oh
1:18:54
my gosh, I'm blanking on so many people. Carl
1:18:56
Tartan, a coal buyer. Oh my
1:18:59
gosh, I'm blanking on... What's the
1:19:01
Hyundai? The Hyundai, that one. Oh!
1:19:04
Oh! I'm sorry, I should have looked back. Wow!
1:19:07
Yeah, we're giving away a big car and everyone, the
1:19:09
whole idea of the show is that celebrities come on,
1:19:11
and maybe even Jason will come on, they'll bring an
1:19:14
item, anything from their house, and then you'll have a
1:19:16
chance to bid on it. You don't have to use
1:19:18
real money, and then we'll give it to you, we'll
1:19:20
send it to you so you can get weird celebrity
1:19:22
shit. Like, you know,
1:19:24
if Randall Park's like, this is the t-shirt I wore to
1:19:27
propose to my wife, if you guess the price
1:19:29
of it, you get it. I don't think we can get
1:19:31
that. Is that what he's bringing? We were hypothesizing these
1:19:33
are things that you could bring. That
1:19:35
would be amazing. Yeah, Caitlin... I'd love to own
1:19:38
something that someone proposed to someone. I think, I
1:19:40
mean, Caitlin Olsen will be there, it's gonna be
1:19:42
just jam-packed full of people bringing in on items,
1:19:44
guessing, and we're gonna co-host
1:19:46
with Eva Anderson, who is our appraiser, she will
1:19:48
dictate the price, and then the final end, we'll
1:19:51
be giving away this car. But it's two hours
1:19:53
each day. So it's like one part antiques road
1:19:55
show, one part like celebrity auction. Yes.
1:19:57
Got it. And the only thing we can't do is...
1:20:00
give away our they said
1:20:02
don't give away any any
1:20:04
weapons or anything living so
1:20:06
we couldn't give away 12 pups of Christmas
1:20:09
here that's too bad because I was gonna
1:20:11
bring a sentient ak-47 see this
1:20:13
