0:02
we win. Sometimes we try
0:05
to fit it all in. Sometimes
0:07
we don't know what's in store.
0:10
Sometimes we find what we're
0:12
looking for. Sometimes we're rolling

1:52
Art
2:01
is truly something that is indescribable. Rarely
2:04
is there a shared experience or reference point. The
2:06
Mona Lisa, the David, American
2:08
Gothic, and of course, the
2:11
enchanted peasant girl. We saw Mannequin 2
2:13
on the move, so you know what that means. Now it's time.
2:18
Worth it. How did this get
2:20
made? We're gonna have a good time, celebrate
2:22
the fangirls, and have to be here. The girly worker
2:25
I just made. Let's
2:27
wallow in the media, creepy and
2:29
stuck my heart. Super half will
2:31
find the answer to the question, how
2:33
did this get made? Hello, people
2:35
of Earth, and welcome to How Did This
2:37
Get Made? I'm your host, Paul Scheer, joined as always
2:40
by June Diane Rayfield. How are you, June?
2:41
I'm good, Paul. How are you? Very good,
2:44
and glad to hear it. And Jason Mansukas,
2:46
how are you, Jason? Paul, I love you with all
2:48
of my heart. Thank you, Jason, as I love
2:50
you. It is wonderful to see you. Great to see you as well.
2:53
And we have a very special guest today. He
2:55
is a hilarious comedian and actor. You've seen him
2:57
on The Sarah Silverman Show. You probably follow
3:00
him on Twitter. Please welcome
3:02
Steve Agee. Thanks, guys. Agee! Good
3:05
to be here. Great to be here. Agee! Very
3:07
excited to have you. Now,
3:10
the last movie that we did on this show, also
3:12
involved department store. I was
3:15
like, what's going on with department stores? Department
3:17
store magic. But
3:19
that was a thing with movies. Department stores
3:21
were... Huge. Huge,
3:24
because they were new at that
3:26
time. Or the department
3:28
store that we now know. A mall department store.
3:31
Yeah, that mall department
3:33
store was in every early 90s movie.
3:36
Well, I feel like there's that other movie, Career Opportunities, where
3:38
it was like the guy who was like in... It's like a finally
3:40
movie, right? Yeah. We should do that
3:42
one next. But just people just hanging out in malls and like,
3:46
what could you do in a big department store where
3:48
they were like boats and tents and clothes?
3:51
But it was like this movie posits
3:54
department store as museum
3:56
as well. There's also a museum exhibit
3:58
going on.
3:59
You gotta get into all this. It's a show, I mean
4:02
that. There's a stage, there's
4:04
a theater, there's a full theater
4:06
in a department store. For performers.
4:09
Oh yeah. And rehearsals. Oh yeah. For
4:12
dance sequences. There's so many dance
4:14
sequences and I feel
4:16
like they were like, how can we have dance
4:19
sequences, fashion montages,
4:21
and mannequins all in one place? And somebody was like, said
4:24
it all in a giant department store? Well, here's
4:26
the thing. It's a sequel. It's based
4:28
on the original, well not
4:29
based on the original. It's a sequel that
4:33
is jumping off from the first movie, which took place
4:35
in a department store. Which is a natural
4:37
place for a mannequin to live. I
4:40
have no problem with that. Yes. But this movie
4:42
didn't need the department store because
4:44
they never use her as a mannequin. Yes.
4:47
She is not a mannequin. Well let's get in with
4:49
the fuck. Let's go back, I realized
4:51
that last night. Let's go back to the beginning. Think
4:54
about that. Let's go back to the beginning. The movie starts
4:57
in medieval times and it's medieval
4:59
times. The restaurant. I was gonna say, yeah, by
5:01
medieval times, the restaurant. It's like SoCal
5:03
kids running around going like, hey
5:05
dude, no attempt
5:08
at an accent, no attempt. They were the
5:10
cleanest medieval times people I've ever
5:12
seen. Yeah. Yeah, because usually
5:14
those medieval times people are real dirty. Well just
5:16
like, I mean there's.
5:17
Dirty filthy monsters. But there's just nothing about,
5:19
like they look cartoonish
5:22
and. So colorful
5:24
and even the bridge that
5:26
they're on had like bricks that are
5:28
like very 19th century. Yeah.
5:32
I mean like, yeah, the sword fight
5:34
is ridiculous. All of it is like
5:37
laughable. I think that even the wizard goes,
5:39
madam sweetie pie. But it's almost
5:41
like, it's almost like to the
5:44
degree of like Robin Hood men
5:46
in tights or princess
5:48
bride level, like winking
5:51
at the audience. I would 100%
5:53
agree. I feel
5:55
like it really, it does feel like an updated
5:58
medieval time show. It just is like with some.
5:59
and she certainly didn't seem like a peasant
6:02
girl. Oh no. I mean her outfit
6:04
was very nice in the beginning and she looked very
6:07
clean, like with running water.
6:09
I mean there. She's a middle class. She's a middle
6:11
class her hair. Yeah, she's shampooed. She's a middle class
6:14
peasant for sure. But she's like
6:16
a garbage person in the eyes of the queen.
6:18
Sure, here's my question. The
6:20
girl she's with in the very beginning
6:22
of the movie, is that her daughter?
6:24
What? No. That's
6:26
her sister. Oh, I didn't hear that okay.
6:28
I mean I just assumed it was. Yeah,
6:30
she's- I didn't know who it was. It would be really weird
6:33
if she had a daughter and was like ready to ride off
6:35
on the back of this dude's horse. It was medieval
6:37
times. It's not unthinkable. It would be amazing if this movie
6:40
set up a world in which a single mother rides
6:42
off on the horse of a prince leaving her 10 year old
6:44
daughter behind to just bend for her
6:46
son. To die of the plague.
6:48
Even if it's her sister, she seemed to have
6:50
a maternal relationship with her. Well
6:52
they were just staring at the window. Yeah. Okay,
6:54
well I was worried about that girl and what happened to
6:56
her. The window, the glass window.
6:59
That little girl died. Yeah, you said it's-
7:01
That little girl for sure died. She said it's so nonchalantly.
7:04
She's like, no, she's dead. Well she's definitely dead. I
7:06
did want- Well they're all dead. Time, time.
7:08
But she lived a long healthy life. We don't know.
7:11
In that a thousand years ago. So she- The
7:13
plague could have hit. She lived to the ripe old age of 27, which
7:15
was the life expectancy. I
7:18
was fascinated too by the fact that when Kristy
7:20
Swanson,
7:21
America's the love of young
7:23
boys' lives at that time, comes
7:26
back to life a thousand years later and never is like,
7:28
oh no, what about my family? What about my sister? Oh,
7:31
like-
7:31
She says it once. She does? Yes,
7:34
she mentions it once, like oh I can't wait to
7:36
see my family again. And then it's like-
7:38
Uh oh.
7:39
No. You won't. She adapts so
7:41
quickly. Just so if you have not seen this movie, which I highly
7:43
recommend that you do, the premise
7:46
is that a queen puts a curse on
7:48
a peasant girl, because her son the prince wants
7:50
to marry her. He puts a necklace on. And
7:53
this is where the movie gets
7:55
foggy for me in the sense that- Because
7:57
this is the first scene and it's already getting foggy.
7:59
Yeah. It already is having some plot
8:01
holes. So they put a necklace around her
8:04
neck, royal jewels, and then she
8:06
freezes into a mannequin, not a stone
8:08
statue. A wooden statue is basically
8:10
what they're saying. Yes, a wooden mannequin. And
8:14
she, now
8:16
if you take off the necklace, would she always
8:18
come to life? Or was it just
8:20
in a thousand years if you took off the necklace, she would
8:22
come to life? I didn't understand the logic.
8:25
Okay, so in my understanding
8:27
of it, the necklace was gonna
8:29
make her a mannequin.
8:32
But to break that spell,
8:34
she had to be with her one true love. But
8:37
also, she had to be wearing the jewels.
8:40
But also, the true love had to come from
8:42
a foreign land. But also,
8:45
I think, or something, there was like a bunch of
8:47
caveats to it. But it seems to
8:49
me to be like wearing the necklace, frozen,
8:51
not wearing the necklace, not frozen.
8:54
Right, but then later on, they
8:56
put the necklace on another, they'll get into this
8:58
and put a character, he gets a necklace on, he
9:00
freezes. But then later on, when they wanna put the necklace
9:03
on the bad guy, they need to like, enchant
9:05
him in some way to make him.
9:07
Yeah, well she says the same incantation
9:10
that the queen says upon
9:12
putting the necklace on her. Which
9:14
is like a curse, a thousand year curse.
9:17
It seems to me though, that the true love aspect
9:19
of it has nothing to do with it. Yeah,
9:22
the-
9:22
Because Hollywood, we
9:25
know from the first movie, the
9:28
necklace is put on him later in the movie, and then
9:30
he's- Hold on a second. You're
9:32
telling me, because I don't remember Mannequin won at
9:34
all. You're telling me Hollywood
9:36
is in the first movie? He's the cross over
9:39
character. He is, yeah. Okay,
9:41
but he's surprised that there's another
9:43
one. You can hear him say, oh no, I've
9:46
seen this before. He does, okay. But
9:48
he says it one line, and never does he get
9:50
into it deeper than that. He goes
9:52
like, I wrote it down because it's a, he
9:56
said it so nonchalantly. He said,
9:58
it happened.
9:59
once before, he goes, this is crazy. He goes,
10:02
it happened once before, no explanation. And
10:04
they go off to her. But it didn't happen once before
10:06
with a magical necklace and a curl.
10:09
It happened once before in a very
10:11
different way. Her name is also Jessie.
10:14
A thousand years ago, a peasant
10:17
girl is named Jessie with a heart over
10:19
the eye at the end. You know what I
10:21
mean? What the fuck world are we living in? She is
10:23
a valley girl. I mean, she is.
10:26
I loved her in this movie. I thought she
10:28
was amazing. I had the hugest
10:30
crush on Christy Swanson. And she's beautiful.
10:33
And she actually, I think, plays this character really
10:35
well. So well. She's delightful.
10:37
She's just delightful to watch. I could watch her
10:39
all day long. But my
10:41
big problem with this movie is the first
10:43
mannequin was about a woman who is
10:46
a mannequin who came to light. Why not make
10:48
the sequel about a male mannequin?
10:50
Oh. Male-kin? A mannequin.
10:53
Mannequin. Male-kin. Male-kin.
10:56
Mannequin sounds too much like mannequin. Ha
11:00
ha ha ha ha ha.
11:02
Wait.
11:02
Male-kin. In
11:05
Mannequin One, is there. One of the
11:07
best movies. Because I genuinely do
11:09
not remember it at all. I don't either. I
11:11
went a little back. So this is.
11:13
Is there a similar kind of curse
11:16
blah blah blah? Yes. It's a little different though.
11:18
Here's the thing in Mannequin One. There
11:21
is an Egyptian curse put on Kim
11:23
Cattrell. Yes. I remember it being Kim
11:25
Cattrell. What happens
11:27
is a mannequin designer,
11:30
Andrew McCarthy. Who's amazing
11:32
in the movie. Amazing. Yeah. Great. He's
11:35
also amazing at his job.
11:37
He's a very good mannequin designer. He
11:39
is the top tier guy. And
11:42
he talks to all of his creations.
11:44
And then one time, his creation talks back.
11:47
And that's the. So his creation comes
11:49
to life. But it's not fulfilling some destiny. It's
11:51
not like this movie where there's a lot of
11:53
weird. No. No. There's no one
11:55
acting. There's no one after
11:58
him in that movie. But here's the problem that I have.
11:59
have just based on and a
12:02
Malekin should be great but they
12:05
go from New York City like
12:07
New York City yeah and it's like he is
12:09
the best a fashion industry man
12:12
yeah and he's like the best window designer
12:14
and it's for the biggest store to Philadelphia
12:17
yep not even Philadelphia Germantown
12:20
we are about to make a lot of enemies
12:22
I was gonna say I apologize I
12:24
don't know where this is going Paul but I do
12:26
not share your sentiment yeah I'm gonna
12:28
really take down Philadelphia Philadelphia
12:31
you got Creed and that's all you got rocky
12:33
and creative fuck you but I feel like they chose
12:36
Germantown because the
12:38
original princess was in Germany
12:41
I think you're right but I think
12:43
it is such a downgrade to everything
12:45
because it's like why would you do that
12:48
for this mannequin in Germantown
12:51
and we're gonna get so many and
12:53
then on top of this let
12:55
me tell you you don't deserve
12:59
to
12:59
have a touring production of us
13:03
mannequin from a different country show
13:05
up in one of your store museums they
13:07
literally say like all all the elite
13:12
of Philadelphia will be there right
13:14
Paul is saying who's that trash
13:16
people wrong there are no elites
13:19
in Philadelphia I just want to
13:21
say that Paul is speaking
13:24
only for himself I think Philadelphia has wonderful
13:28
I think I would be proud
13:29
I would be proud if anything that
13:31
I did was was set there
13:33
or went there you know Philadelphia now while
13:35
I'm saying this Jason is just writing on the table
13:38
Philadelphia sucks and he threw
13:40
an arrow through the Philadelphia
13:42
Eagles head who went from the from the crossbow
13:45
that the count has in this movie which
13:47
he steals from a Jan sport display
13:49
I do not want to discuss oh there's
13:51
an off-limits yes
13:52
this is a topic that's off-limits
13:55
and I really beg can I guess what it is it's
13:57
Harry mole yes
13:59
Why? That should be the end of the discussion.
14:02
Okay, so we just had the main evil
14:04
man has a hairy mole. Was that just so he
14:06
would know it was the same guy from the
14:08
cold open? I think so, yeah. If the mole
14:11
hair was like four inches long.
14:13
Jason, and that's enough. I
14:16
want to get into the bad guy. It looked, I first
14:18
thought he had a monocle and it was
14:21
like this ring from
14:23
a fucking monocle. Yup, no, it was hair. I just
14:25
want to talk about, I want to slam Philadelphia one more
14:27
time. Oh wow. And just say this. I
14:29
think
14:29
it was such a downgrade, two parts. One
14:32
Hollywood is in New York, killing
14:34
it in New York. And then it seems that he's
14:37
got downgraded to Philadelphia. He's
14:39
fallen on hard times. Just moving out
14:41
to LA, but it seemed like he went
14:43
from the heights to the lows. You don't go
14:46
from. You're going Philadelphia to the lows. You don't
14:48
go, quote unquote, you don't go from New
14:50
York to Philly is what you just said. I agree,
14:52
in the fashion world, he goes from
14:55
Saxxford Avenue to King of Cross.
14:57
Once again, I will back this. I don't
14:59
agree with this. And then I wanted to say one more
15:01
thing and he takes this fucking mannequin
15:03
to show her Main
15:05
Street and it's the dumpiest Main
15:07
Street of all. It's
15:10
like a Suvlocki stand and it
15:12
looks like a banded building. So now you're taking
15:14
on Suvlocki stands as well. You
15:16
know what, pal? I would
15:18
sit idly by while you trash Philadelphia,
15:21
one of our great cities, the first
15:24
American capital. Oh, Fern,
15:26
get it. To watch you trash it to then have
15:28
you double down and trash the most delicious
15:31
Greek food that has ever been created is shameful.
15:34
Sir. Now make sure you guys get on the
15:36
forums and write to Paul Scheer. Are you from
15:38
Philadelphia? No. Okay.
15:40
But there was something there was something so anticlimactic
15:43
about going like, I want to show you my city.
15:45
And it's
15:46
really the least. I mean, and they
15:49
could have done it in downtown. Show me a building. Now,
15:52
Paul, correct me if I'm wrong. You're from New York,
15:54
right? Yeah, bro.
15:56
Oh, fuck you. We'll go. We'll
15:58
eat your chicken. and
16:00
then we'll come home.
16:02
You just can't deny, though.
16:04
I mean, New York City is the greatest city on earth. Sure.
16:07
Yeah. So, I mean, you have a, I think you do
16:09
have a valid point. It's also the head
16:10
of, like, just keep it in the world. I feel like there's a tax
16:12
break. But you keep on saying fashion, and this movie is not about
16:14
fashion. Sure it is, it's about a department store. Okay, this
16:16
movie's not about even window displays.
16:19
No. No. This is not about, like, a mannequin
16:21
doing what a mannequin should be
16:24
doing. Right. Selling clothing.
16:26
That has nothing to do with this film.
16:28
I mean, like, that's kind of, I mean,
16:30
again, I don't want to speak for what is
16:32
expected of mannequins, because I think any mannequin
16:35
should be able, or a mannequin should be able to do whatever
16:37
they want if their dreams will allow
16:39
it. But I get it, what you're saying is, what
16:41
they're doing is they're to sell clothes, which is pretty reductive,
16:44
June. I think, I don't know another use for
16:46
a mannequin, or a mannequin. Wow. I
16:49
don't. Really appealing to masturbation.
16:51
I don't. I am shocked to hear
16:53
how limiting you feel like mannequins are.
16:56
Oh, yes. Reese's
16:59
Peanut Butter Cups. I love them. They are the
17:01
perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
17:03
When you want something sweet, you really can't
17:05
do any better than a Reese's.
17:08
Trust me, I know I love these,
17:10
okay? They are truly
17:12
the perfect candy. I mean, the perfect
17:14
ratio of chocolate and just
17:17
the right amount of peanut butter. This is
17:20
science in motion. Plus,
17:22
you could eat them in different ways. You can kind of put
17:24
your finger in it, make it like a donut. You
17:27
can kind of eat it around the sides, break
17:29
it a half, give it to your partner. I mean,
17:31
Reese's can be shared with
17:34
anyone because everyone loves
17:36
Reese's. Here's
17:37
a hot tip. It's actually a cold tip. Throw
17:39
those Reese's in the freezer in the summer
17:42
and throw them in the fridge just
17:44
any time of year. Whenever I'm on
17:46
a camping trip or going out with friends, I've put
17:48
them in the cooler and people are so
17:50
excited that they are there. Plus, I will admit
17:53
this right now very freely. When my kids
17:55
go trick or treating, I definitely go through their bags
17:57
and steal all their Reese's because... You
18:00
know what? I had to do all that walking too. I
18:02
deserve a treat by Reese's
18:04
Peanut Butter Cups wherever candy
18:06
is sold.
18:07
Today's episode of How Did This Get Made? is brought
18:09
to you by McDonald's. Now McDonald's
18:12
means a lot to so many
18:14
of us because McDonald's was, for
18:16
me at least, when I was growing up, the place that
18:19
was the treat, the reward, right?
18:21
If I had done good on a test, if
18:23
I got a great report card, we were going
18:25
to McDonald's. So many fond memories of
18:28
heading to McDonald's to get those
18:30
chicken nuggets. I mean, chicken nuggets to me
18:33
as a kid. This was new. I feel like kids now
18:35
are eating chicken nuggets all the time, but for
18:37
me, chicken nuggets were a delicacy,
18:40
and McDonald's had the best, crispiest
18:42
chicken nuggets with the tangiest barbecue
18:44
sauce. Getting that, sitting down and ordering
18:47
an adult-sized chicken nuggets as
18:49
a kid. Oh my gosh, it
18:51
was perfect. It made me feel like
18:53
I was a king. I like to bring my kids
18:56
to McDonald's for that same feeling,
18:58
that feeling of like, we're doing
19:00
it. We're like going out to a fun place to eat. And, you
19:03
know, maybe I should just stop
19:05
talking about McDonald's right now and go. McDonald's,
19:08

20:28
I do have an issue with the fact that
20:30
they made this another woman because I felt like,
20:33
wow, wow. It's,
20:35
there's something so appealing about seeing
20:37
a beautiful, still, lifeless
20:39
woman to men.
20:40
Right. And I have
20:42
a real issue with that. And the fact that they
20:45
didn't flip that for the sequel been
20:47
a dude. Yeah. And I thought Chrissy Swanson
20:49
was great. I thought Kim Cattrall was amazing.
20:52
And I love, I love watching
20:54
that, fine. But
20:56
to not, there's something so
20:58
gross to me about like using
21:01
this concept of a woman who's still unsilent
21:04
and beautiful.
21:04
Yeah. It's just an object
21:06
to be, to be looked at in his mind. There literally is
21:09
no connection between the main
21:11
character and this girl. Like she comes to life,
21:13
he, like he first, he like kisses a mannequin.
21:16
That's weird. Yeah. That was weird. So weird.
21:19
Okay. You're a fucking pervert. Yeah. He
21:21
also saves her quote unquote life when
21:23
the mannequin falls into the water. Didn't
21:26
need to happen. Did he ever jump into that water? No, didn't
21:28
need to happen. He jumps into water to
21:30
save a mannequin and it
21:32
makes no sense. Which
21:34
should float also.
21:36
Oh yeah. It's like a stone. It's
21:38
just a necklace. It's all a wood. Yeah.
21:41
And then he, but
21:43
he kisses her and then she comes to life and
21:45
they really have no connection
21:48
besides eating like shawarma and
21:51
they go out.
21:51
Well in her mind they do because he's.
21:54
In her mind, but in his mind,
21:57
like he has no connection. She wants to whistle me.
21:59
By the way, is that what he calls
22:02
his dick the only moment in that movie
22:04
of her like Adjusting
22:06
to modern times is going. Oh, so when
22:09
the little man flashes green you can walk.
22:12
Oh, yeah There's no like what the fuck is
22:14
this like? Yeah, she's on board for it. She's
22:16
in that car She says I love cars.
22:18
I love electricity. I love America If
22:22
you if you jumped forward a thousand years,
22:24
those are the three highlights that you'd be like I'm on board
22:26
guys meanwhile
22:26
This guy takes out a fucking fire
22:29
extinguisher and shoots out a little like
22:31
foam and she passes That
22:34
was the thing that pushed her over the edge Not
22:37
the electricity not the fact that people smell
22:39
good not the fact that like not
22:41
the fact that things are clean a
22:44
fire a red fire extinguisher
22:46
Oh, I would almost argue that would be maybe
22:49
the closest thing to a medieval that looks
22:51
like some sort of contraption She would be familiar.
22:53
Yeah. Oh my god She's
22:56
a peasant yeah, so everything should
22:58
be doubled. Yeah,
22:59
you are just cool. It should be amazing Everything
23:02
should be she should be losing her
23:04
mind because like the movie could be about
23:07
her just Experiencing the most simple of
23:09
things and having her mind completely
23:11
blown and she gets
23:12
were going for which I do think she
23:15
was great at was just that she's
23:17
completely like a daft
23:20
person be it in medieval times
23:22
or in present day She's an
23:24
innocent and wide-eyed and just
23:27
you know in love. I didn't like the way they
23:29
kissed in medieval times The
23:40
kissing was gross and there is like every
23:42
time I will say this and I did
23:45
find Their chemistry
23:47
Christie Swanson and the guy to be
23:50
light and charming and fine I
23:52
thought it was totally fine for me. I I
23:54
genuinely I enjoyed this move you like
23:57
a G And I were talking about this before
23:58
you guys got here Totally
24:00
enjoyed the movie and I was like I'm on board for it
24:02
like this is not terrible neither of them is terrible They're
24:05
both doing a great job, but every
24:07
time she is a mannequin and he's just acting
24:09
with the mannequin It was the straight-up
24:11
creepiest thing I've ever seen in my life
24:14
I like when he's looking her at all
24:16
the man. Oh, but the mannequin of Hollywood
24:19
looked exactly like And the mannequin
24:21
of Terry Kaiser look at Terry Kaiser
24:23
we can have Bernice He's the bad guy and I'm
24:25
surprised that they were actually able to finish shooting this
24:28
movie because he ate the scenery So much
24:29
that guy. Oh my god. I mean I Kind
24:33
of grew to love it. I love him. He was in
24:35
a way the most mustache twirl like literally
24:38
most mustache twirly Well, he was actually
24:41
a hair twirly But
24:46
yeah, I mean I think the movie
24:48
is just it's Bizarre
24:51
because it doesn't really fall like it
24:53
just kind of like runs a path and then it goes
24:55
well We'll change it now and it just I think that's
24:58
the craziest thing about the movie the chemistry
24:59
is because the
25:02
the relationship between Andrew McCarthy and Kim
25:05
Cottrell was so amazing. Yes,
25:07
and his reactions to her when
25:10
she's a mannequin are so great Like that
25:12
doesn't come across as creepy in the first one It's
25:14
he's just so good and so lovable
25:17
that
25:17
like watch You know you can watch this
25:19
guy doesn't seem too freaked out that she
25:21
even comes to life No one reacts
25:24
really to anything at any given point
25:26
like they're so freaked out about this mannequin falling
25:29
in the water Then he just takes out and
25:31
said well, I guess we'll just bring it in my car back to
25:33
the when they're driving back He's
25:36
holding the mannequin like it's a person. Yeah,
25:38
he's like cradled the mannequin is like cradled
25:40
in his arms And then he's like
25:42
there where people are like freaking out when they
25:45
see him like in the diner with the mannequin
25:47
There's like throngs of people outside the
25:49
diner looking
25:50
in at him standing with a you know
25:52
I'm gonna give this is a weird part of the movie because
25:54
it becomes a little bit like Lars and the real
25:56
girl like He has had this like amazing
25:58
night where
25:59
He spent this night with this great mannequin,
26:02
and he wakes up in the morning. Wait a minute, she's alive. When she's alive.
26:05
The first time she comes to life, they have an amazing
26:07
night. He squeezes some oranges, puts it in a microwave,
26:09
it becomes orange juice. His mom, I
26:12
wanna talk about his mom for 10 hours. Oh
26:14
my god, the mom. I
26:15
wanna talk about why all of her dating
26:18
clients come over at 9 p.m. Or
26:20
even later. What was he mad about? Because
26:23
they were coming home from the club. They were coming
26:25
home from the club in which they had
26:27
a full night, like those two. That
26:30
guy's doing his dating video profile. The guy
26:32
that is his Jason, by the way,
26:34
lead character's name is Jason, which is pretty
26:36
rad. You love that. He was a pretty cool guy,
26:39
pretty much got it. But Jason
26:41
and the mannequin are sneaking in after
26:43
clubbing all night, and his boss, inexplicably,
26:46
is there because his mom is
26:49
a video dating profile
26:51
person, and she's making his video
26:53
profile, like what are your interests? But yet
26:55
he's being very weird. He's lying.
26:58
I reveal what I do, or who I am. 1980s
27:00
Newman. But it's also, yeah,
27:02
it's Dua Penkin, classic
27:04
character actor. But his whole
27:06
thing was like,
27:07
he was like, I work in a,
27:10
it's like, you fucking manage them all.
27:13
It's not like you're Brad Pitt or something.
27:15
No, but you have to hide your identity. He's like, we're
27:17
working a pet store. And by the way, in the beginning
27:20
of the movie, he's the most evil,
27:22
villainous character, and then turns
27:24
out to be a huge buffoon. They
27:27
could have fixed so many holes in this movie
27:29
by making either him just the main
27:32
bad guy instead of Terry Kaiser, or get
27:34
him out. This is so strange about the
27:35
movie, because you think when
27:38
the count shows up, that
27:40
those are the stakes that they have to somehow impress them.
27:42
I mean, I don't even wanna get into why
27:44
there's a show. Yeah, why is
27:46
there a show around the mannequin here? Why is the
27:49
staff of a department store at an airport
27:51
to meet a foreign dignitary? Why
27:54
is that happening? What
27:56
is that? By the way,
27:58
why not just put this whole fucking thing in a museum?
27:59
And it could be a mannequin, but in a museum
28:02
instead of a fucking department or even great. By the way,
28:04
it's mannequin too. It's about a fucking statue. Yeah.
28:07
That's what we're doing. Don't worry about it. Just by the way, they're
28:09
all statues like mannequin. Because she's never used as a
28:11
mannequin. No. They
28:13
could have used any mannequin in that store.
28:15
And by the way, when they do reveal her as a
28:17
mannequin in mannequin form, she comes
28:20
out of a fucking spaceship. Which is not
28:22
even of the right ilk for her character
28:24
because she is the peasant girl. Yup.
28:26
Like that, it doesn't make any sense.
28:29
Okay, I have a lot. All
28:31
easily fixable holes too. It could have been
28:34
a really good movie. It felt to me like
28:36
there was, like I felt like they had a script.
28:39
And they said, okay, Steve, here's the premise.
28:41
You don't get to read the scenes that come before. You
28:44
just, this is what you have to do in this scene. You have to accomplish
28:46
this. Got it. And you write it. Then you give it to Jason. Jason,
28:49
you're all like... Oh, like exquisite corpse? Yeah.
28:52
It's exact. Because it feels like we're
28:54
using all the same characters. But
28:57
it doesn't seem like, from scene to scene, like
28:59
the mannequin comes home and she's
29:01
like, look, your mom gave me this
29:03
device to see everybody's lives. It
29:06
stays of our lives. And she's watching soap
29:08
operas. But then when they put a mannequin
29:10
from upstairs, mom's like, he's
29:12
dating a mannequin.
29:15
It's like, no, woman, you just let him in. You
29:17
let this woman upstairs five minutes
29:19
ago. There's also a whole thing. You're asking if he fucked
29:21
it too. Like a lot of the
29:24
shower. Did you sleep with her? She says,
29:26
who's in the bathroom? And he says, oh, it's a girl and blah, blah, blah.
29:28
But then she's like shocked to find him
29:31
with a mannequin. She definitely heard someone
29:33
in the bathroom. But I'm saying she saw
29:35
her come up the stairs minutes
29:37
before the cops come in at the end. And
29:41
they clearly gave him...
29:41
I do think that the
29:43
mannequin version of Christy Swanson doesn't
29:46
look that much like her. At all. So I
29:48
don't know that if I saw Christy Swanson and I saw
29:50
the mannequin version
29:51
of her, that I would necessarily think they were the same person.
29:54
So you think that mom also thinks that Christy
29:56
Swanson is upstairs? Possibly. They're
29:58
having a threesome with a man. Oh
30:00
my God. I don't
30:02
know. And then
30:04
to get to the, so there's so much confusion
30:07
here, and then the main bad guy's
30:09
plan from what I can distill
30:11
is to get enough money to go to Bermuda?
30:14
No, he's waiting for her to wake back
30:16
up.
30:17
Why? Because he wants her. He's waiting for her to wake back up
30:19
because he wants to marry her for some reason. He's going to force
30:22
himself. How did he stay alive for a thousand
30:24
years? If he's the great, great, great, great, great,
30:26
great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,
30:28
great, great, great, great grandson. He says like
30:31
he did a big thing when he's talking to, when
30:33
he thought he was alive for a thousand years.
30:35
No, he's the grandson. I was just saying it. That
30:38
makes
30:38
no sense. I feel like Paul is screaming for
30:40
like 20 minutes. Sorry. You
30:42
know what? Paul got all fired up about Philadelphia. Philadelphia.
30:45
He emailed me today and he was like, get ready. I'm taking down Philly. I'm
30:47
turning it up today. I'm turning it up. I
30:50
literally
30:50
feel like you've been screaming
30:53
for 20 minutes. I'm
30:56
just baffled. I'm baffled and I'm- I
30:58
am too. I want to talk about, at some point
31:00
I want to talk about all the horny secondary characters.
31:03
Well, and that's by the way, I think what they
31:05
were going for with- Gail
31:07
and Andy. Can we just figure out the plan though? I just
31:09
want to see- Oh, oh, oh. Also, we've moved
31:12
on way far past us, but did you notice in the beginning
31:14
that cold open in medieval times, the
31:16
dwarf from Twin Peaks? Yes,
31:19
I did notice it. I also noticed an
31:21
interesting camera move there. I think no one taught them
31:23
about like a dolly. So someone just ran
31:25
with a camera. Well, they didn't have dollies in medieval times.
31:29
I think they were shooting
31:31
it with that technology available in the day. Medieval
31:33
times verite. So I
31:36
guess
31:36
the Count's cover was
31:38
that he was trying to like build
31:41
up tourism for
31:43
their German town or whatever
31:46
that place was. The place that's covered
31:48
in rain for a thousand years. So that was
31:51
his cover, but what he was really going to do was
31:54
wake up the mannequin. I think he
31:56
thinks the mannequin is going to wake up because it's now
31:58
a thousand years later.
31:59
years later, but I don't know why he's- She needs to be on foreign,
32:02
she needs to be in
32:04
like, fall in love with someone foreign or something.
32:06
Which is why she's gotta be a mannequin on the move.
32:08
Yes, so that's why he's brought her there.
32:11
Because his plan is, I'll fall in love with her here and
32:13
we'll go to Bermuda. And then we'll go to Bermuda.
32:16
Bermuda. But Bermuda, well, he's gonna sell
32:18
the diamonds to them. Because all the
32:21
three German entry stooges,
32:23
yeah, they- What were they, by the way? Security?
32:26
They, I couldn't figure them out at
32:28
all. I actually have a clip
32:29
of Ralf, Egon, and Arnold, who,
32:32
in my mind, clearly all were
32:34
dubbed. They're American actors that they got in
32:36
later. And this is, they're kind of the
32:39
main bad guys, Foyles.
32:42
They're big, dumb German
32:44
guys. They're comic relief. They're comic relief.
32:46
In a movie, I would argue, full of comic
32:48
relief. Didn't need it, yeah. Didn't need them.
32:51
We basically only have two characters
32:53
that are not comic relief. Yep, and then everybody is. And
32:55
then like a dozen characters who are ludicrous.
32:59
Here are the German three
32:59
stooges. What have you done with
33:02
the enchanted peasant girl? You
33:04
guys are not supposed to be back here. I'm gonna have to call security.
33:07
There she is. That
33:12
was a close one. Not
33:15
a word of this to the count. We don't
33:17
want to get him upset. Here, here, here. Here,
33:20
here, here. Here, here, here. Here, here, here. One
33:22
of my favorite scenes of the movie was when
33:24
the female truck driver- Yes. Oh
33:26
my God. Dancing in
33:28
the street. These three German guys who
33:30
are getting naked and dancing in the middle of a highway.
33:33
They go, that's the best way to stop a garbage truck.
33:36
And then they pick them up
33:38
in a dumpster. And then
33:41
activate the dumpster so it dumps them into
33:43
the trash.
33:44
Well, that's inexplicable, but I really
33:46
did want to watch a whole movie about those two ladies.
33:49
One of them- Oh my God, they were awesome.
33:51
They were amazing. One of them I think is drinking a glass
33:53
of milk. She had white stuff all over her. Or
33:57
I don't know if they were just saying- She shit all over her face. She's foaming
33:59
at the mouth. But the two of them were looking
34:02
at these guys. Yeah, they were like
34:04
feasting their eyes on these beefcakes
34:06
in the street. It's incredible. I
34:09
wrote all about it. I was like, what
34:11
is up with these? Because they're two
34:14
gross ladies in a trash truck who
34:17
look at these guys in the street, and it is so
34:20
like, they are like Lenny and Squiggy.
34:23
Like, whoa, whoa, whoa. One of them's wearing
34:25
a hard hat in the car. Why? Then
34:28
I don't know. So it's
34:30
so funny what their reactions
34:32
to them. And then, yeah, they pick them
34:35
up and dump them in the trash. Are
34:37
they going to use them later?
34:40
Because later on, it seems that they just
34:42
drop them off. I think they only do drop
34:44
them off. I mean, maybe they fuck those guys.
34:47
I would hope they did. I would love
34:49
it if they just straight up fucked. But that's what I mean.
34:52
Everybody's horny in this movie. Is that
34:54
a pick? Is that like, is June, when you, I know
34:56
you only for a little time when you were single, would you
34:59
try to throw guys in the garbage can? Like,
35:01
when you got really into a guy. It's a classic move.
35:06
Then
35:06
the guys, then those three beefcakes change
35:09
into like, Bermuda wear. 80s
35:12
era workout gear. See, I think this
35:15
is what happened. I think there was one scene
35:17
where they said they were
35:19
planning going to Bermuda, and they picked up their
35:21
Bermuda clothes. I think you're right. Yeah, yeah. In the
35:24
market store that they cut. So inexplicably,
35:26
they, well, we do know they don't have clothes from the trash
35:28
can. But they arrive in the
35:31
next scene in.
35:32
Day glow pink. Bermuda wear. Yeah,
35:34
it looks more like, one of them guys is wearing
35:36
like fingerless weightlifting gloves. I'm trying
35:38
to think of it. But I think they were ready for Bermuda.
35:41
Really? Because there's so
35:43
much time before they go to Bermuda. I never
35:45
get out of those clothes. They're kind of dressed like Bruno
35:48
was dressed in the, and when he was like wearing
35:50
a bathing suit, it's like that long V.
35:53
It's all the way down into tight, tight shorts. They're
35:55
wearing like spandex shorts, like
35:57
ripped up tank tops, weightlifting.
35:59
It's like the let's get physical music
36:03
video. I couldn't figure out why they were wearing
36:05
that they would we they would be wearing that when
36:08
they were like the counts Security
36:10
team and the count would be dressed in like a suit and
36:12
like be with like three guys that looked like they just
36:15
walked Out of gold's gym For
36:17
like a workout. What oh boy
36:19
the I Well
36:21
and like and I would say that this movie it did
36:24
so there that stereotyping Germans I
36:26
think we would be remiss what though even it's
36:28
just idiots
36:29
I felt like it was like oh, I definitely felt like
36:32
they were doing fun it because one of them's
36:34
named Arnold Yeah, okay. All right
36:36
I feel like they were all trying
36:36
to wait the whole the entire like
36:39
meet cute of this movie the way that they come
36:41
together And is so strange.
36:44
It's predicated upon this idea that
36:46
those German guys crashed their
36:48
truck. Yes said Keep
36:51
right one of them said the sign said
36:53
keep right At the
36:55
end of the bridge you fucking idiot don't drive
36:57
off the bridge like as in Germany, I guess you can
36:59
drive off
37:01
Working at this
37:03
department store see this accident.
37:06
Yes and jumps in I mean no no no they were
37:08
supposed to go They Hollywood
37:10
gets the cause like the truck it's crashed
37:13
and then they jump in the car Cadillac
37:15
yeah, he drives over there because he's already
37:17
heard it's Yes Weird
37:20
little connection is this is the same pink Cadillac
37:22
using the movie Mac and me and movie that we discussed in this
37:24
podcast as well Same pink
37:26
Cadillac, and I believe the same director. Oh, oh,
37:28
that's amazing Let's say let's we should
37:30
do a whole thing that is like if that cars
37:33
been in any other movies We're gonna do those movies we
37:35
should do it. We should be completist
37:37
with that pink. I would love to do that
37:40
Wait, I also want to talk about how Hollywood
37:44
how micha Taylor also plays the bouncer
37:46
at the nightclub well Yeah, well, I want to talk about me Shaq
37:48
Taylor in general as far
37:51
as I think
37:52
Based on when I saw this and where
37:55
I was in my life, which is very young micha
37:57
Taylor may have been my first introduction
37:59
to
38:00
someone who is gay,
38:01
right? Wait, you think he's gay in this movie? Hmm.
38:06
Oh, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, that's, he
38:08
definitely, well, here, he reminded me of Kimmy
38:10
Schmidt's roommate. Yeah,
38:12
Pinot Noir. The sound of his voice. Take
38:15
a listen, too, this is, uh, this is kind of how we
38:17
first meet Hollywood mantros. Do you remember
38:20
Miss Diana Ross in the movie Mahogany?
38:23
Yeah.
38:24
Give me cheekbones. Or
38:27
give me death. Makes
38:29
everyone suck in their cheeks. I'm toast. I
38:32
need to talk to you. The wizard's
38:34
not here. Go away, go away. This
38:37
is a rehearsal for a mall show.
38:40
This is in like a 600 seat theater that
38:44
exists in a department store. Sure, for all their live shows. Okay,
38:46
I know we're
38:46
going back to the basic plot of the movie, but
38:48
why, okay, if we're seeing the Count,
38:51
I know we're going back to him, but if we're seeing the Count wanting
38:54
to bring her here to break the spell, why
38:57
does he need a show? I
38:59
think that's the pretense to, is that
39:01
the show's on tour. It's his excuse to get her out of the
39:03
country to foreign land. Okay, great, great.
39:06
Now, why does this department
39:08
store need this show? Because
39:11
all Philadelphia's elite needs to be entertained on
39:13
such a high quality. By the way, he's the Count. That's his fucking
39:15
mannequin. Yeah. If
39:18
he needs to get it on foreign soil, just put it in. No, it's the
39:20
Queen's. It's the Queen's mannequin.
39:23
That's why she's on the phone with him on the white courtesy phone and
39:25
is like, I didn't want the peasant
39:27
girl to go abroad. I didn't want this. This is your thing.
39:30
But they literally made $52 last year in tourism,
39:34
which by the way means that those four women that
39:36
are touring the museum
39:38
probably was the entire...
39:40
We
39:41
did have a laugh when the Queen said the weathers
39:43
turned... Yeah, turned nice here. Turned
39:46
nice, yeah. I know, it's storming
39:48
out. But I wanted to talk about, is Hollywood
39:51
offensive, I guess,
39:53
and that's a quite like... Because now
39:55
looking at it, it's an insane caricature
39:59
of a game.
39:59
being the first man again and thinking like, this
40:02
is comedy. That's what I think
40:04
too. I thought he was hilarious.
40:08
His glasses are so funny. In
40:10
this one, his glasses are made of scissors. And
40:12
his earrings were little scissors too. And
40:16
all of his jokes are like gay
40:18
one liners. They're like all about like, a
40:21
few good men in the marine getting in a few good men
40:23
or whatever. Jack Taylor's, I believe,
40:25
famous for playing gay
40:27
people. Like designing women, he was a
40:29
gay guy. I looked it up last night, not gay,
40:31
married, straight man. And
40:34
he, but like, yeah, he, it's
40:36
funny to think how far we've come. This is now,
40:39
like the first movie was 87. This is 91. This
40:42
is 91? Oh my
40:44
God. I would not, I would have put this at 87. That's
40:47
shocking. Yeah, so that's like-
40:49
Yeah, weirdly, the first one feels
40:51
more- Present. Yeah,
40:54
present day. I would flip them around. Well, I
40:56
mean, like, and I will say, just to speak
40:58
to what you're saying, Paul, this is
41:01
still an era where like a lot of,
41:03
this is like, you know, long
41:06
duck dong in 16 candles around
41:08
this time. This is still an era where there's a lot
41:10
of minorities are represented in ways
41:12
that are gross. What we would now look
41:14
at is gross caricature. But then we
41:17
were like, this is totally normal,
41:19
right? Yeah.
41:22
Whether you're on a cross country drive or on a daily
41:24
commute, time in the car is perfect
41:27
for listening to podcasts. And here's the thing, if
41:29
you have T-Mobile, they cover more highway miles
41:31
with 5G than anyone else. So what does
41:33
that mean? That means you can download podcasts
41:36
while you're driving, no buffering issues, or maybe you're
41:38
heading to a, how did this get made show? And, you
41:40
know, your passenger hasn't finished the movie and they want
41:42
to make sure they're up to date on all the things that happen
41:44
in the movie. They could stream the actual movie to
41:46
their phone while you drive and make fun of them for
41:49
not doing their homework. It all works
41:51
out. And T-Mobile
41:52
covers more highway miles with 5G
41:54
than anyone. It seems obvious. You
41:56

43:29
I have one question about
43:31
the dance club sequence. OK.
43:34
OK. When they're waiting to go online, there are
43:36
three men that walk into that club who
43:38
are all hunched over
43:40
wearing white t-shirts. I
43:42
don't remember. Oh
43:44
my God. Why? What would. OK.
43:48
Because they're Oh God, I wish we had a clip
43:50
of this. They're hunched over.
43:52
I mean, they're young guys, but are like
43:54
completely like
43:56
they're almost touching the ground with their hands. And
43:59
they it It looks like, oh, this is a cool late
44:02
80s, early 90s like a hip
44:04
hop style. Then they go into the
44:06
dance club, and they are slow dancing
44:08
with women at
44:09
one point, and all three of them are still hunched
44:11
over. What? I don't
44:14
remember. Fuck, I don't remember that. I'm gonna put this, Paul,
44:16
please pull it up. I'm gonna pull it up, but I mean, it's gonna be visual,
44:19
as many of my favorite moments in this movie are
44:21
incredibly visual. Oh, yeah. Like when
44:23
he gives CPR to the mannequin? Oh, amazing.
44:27
I mean, there's
44:29
so much. We should
44:30
just call her a doll, because she's really
44:32
not a mannequin. Yeah. Oh,
44:34
perfect. Yeah, like, well,
44:37
is she a doll? I mean, I think she is, I
44:39
mean. She is a statue. She is a statue. She
44:41
is a statue. She is a statue. We should also say
44:43
that this movie all takes place in arguably 72
44:46
hours. This movie takes place
44:48
in the time of that movie, the Benghazi movie that Michael
44:50
Bay made. So it was going on in
44:52
a simultaneous world, as a Benghazi.
44:55
This is, this movie is
44:57
also about Benghazi. Yeah.
45:01
Well, first of all, I will say that Meshach Taylor
45:03
playing that guy as a bouncer was
45:05
great. I like that a lot. I think
45:07
he's a versatile guy. Oh, no,
45:09
as the bouncer, he's hilarious. You know, like that, I
45:12
feel like, and I bet that's all improvised, like him
45:14
just like deciding who gets to go into the club and
45:16
stuff, it was funny. I feel like everything that he did was kind
45:18
of improvised. Lots of
45:20
pop culture stuff. He's talking like the Diana
45:23
Ross stuff. He's talking about pop culture constantly
45:25
throughout the movie.
45:26
And, but you know, that's why he got brought back.
45:28
So many dance breaks, so many, so
45:30
many, like in the nightclub. When he's dancing
45:33
in the nightclub, he's dancing like an insane person.
45:35
Yes, and she starts to dance like an insane person.
45:37
Can we talk budgets too, by the way? Sure. This
45:40
movie was $13 million. Well,
45:42
here's an interesting thing about this movie. And
45:46
it's a very big package to
45:48
unwrap, but I will quickly
45:51
talk about this. The movie was produced by this place called Gladen
45:54
Entertainment, which was formed in 1984 by David Beagleman, right? And
45:58
he packaged the guy.
45:59
or he came up with the idea of a package
46:02
deal. And he basically
46:05
embezzled all this money from
46:07
all of his movies. He eventually
46:10
was caught and killed himself in a hotel
46:12
room. Whoa! Oh my God! With
46:14
a mannequin there? Was there a mannequin there? There was a mannequin.
46:17
The LA Times wrote an article on it, it was one of the
46:19
biggest business scandals ever in Hollywood.
46:22
He, first he started off stealing money from
46:24
Judy Garland when he was her manager. And
46:27
he blackmailed Judy Garland for
46:29
more money. Jesus. Then he would
46:31
take inflated budgets and then pocket all that money.
46:34
Oh wow. And
46:36
so basically his whole company
46:38
was liquidated because he wasn't paying actors, residuals.
46:41
This guy's a really bad dude. And
46:43
so, and then his partner equally bad,
46:46
this guy Bruce McNeil, he owned the
46:48
LA Kings. And he wrote
46:50
a book called Fun While It Lasted, My Rise
46:52
and Fall in the Land of Fame and Fortune. And
46:55
he served 13 months in jail for
46:57
embezzling over $236 million from
47:00
several banks over a 10 year period. Whoa. Holy
47:02
cow. Yeah, so I imagine a lot of that 13 million
47:05
is enough. It had to, because I was watching it going,
47:07
where is that money? It all takes place
47:09
clearly in just like a studio that
47:12
is, you know, the first one was
47:14
just like, the first one was maybe 6 million?
47:16
7.9 million. Made 6 million
47:19
on the opening weekend, beat over the top. This
47:21
movie came out, made 1.6
47:24
million many years later. And
47:29
it was beaten by a lot of things.
47:31
It came in 133rd of all the movies released
47:34
that year. There were some good movies,
47:36
I think. Terminator 2, Robin Hood, Prince
47:38
of Thieves, Beauty and the Beast. The
47:41
only movie that we've done that it's beaten is
47:43
Cool as Ice. So
47:47
yeah, so that was just to give you an idea. And the movie
47:49
was also written by five different people. And
47:52
in my research of those guys, one
47:54
of the main writers said, we subscribed to the 24
47:56
second rule that
47:59
we never spent.
47:59
more than 24 seconds figuring out
48:02
the logic of this movie. Whoa,
48:04
that is evident. And it shows,
48:07
yeah. That's a crazy thing
48:09
to openly admit. He's like, yeah, we never,
48:11
we did, he's like, there's a lot of plot holes
48:13
in it, but we didn't spend more than 24 seconds trying
48:16
to justify anything in it. Oh no, and
48:18
I feel like they genuinely did the other
48:21
thing, which is when in doubt, do a montage.
48:23
Oh, when in doubt, play a song and
48:25
just do a montage. She is like, at some point,
48:28
she's like, she wants to change
48:29
her appearance. Yes. And all
48:32
it is, is so a song starts up, like
48:35
she's like, how can I change my appearance? And then they're like, go
48:37
for it, girl. And then she's like, okay. And
48:39
it's just her looking in the mirror, trying
48:42
on formal guns and hats. Just, but a lot
48:44
of hats. Hats, hats, hats. But a lot of hats.
48:46
Formal gun, formal gun, formal gun, hat, hat, hat.
48:48
Well, this was an era of hats though, on women.
48:51
Oh yeah. Yeah, this
48:53
was like Blossom and like lots of hats and lots
48:55
of ladies. I just felt like I wanted to see a real dress
48:57
up montage and it just felt like a hat montage.
49:00
Or like change your appearance so that the people that are chasing
49:02
you, she just basically is like, I'm gonna
49:04
look, I'm gonna be black tie, ready.
49:07
Well, they did run past her at one point towards
49:09
the end of the montage. Yeah, they did.
49:10
And I did really, I was aching
49:13
for her to cut that hair. Oh yeah. That
49:15
hair was insane. You didn't want that hair. It was,
49:18
but peasant chic. It was horrible.
49:20
And I think I do have something against
49:23
women with hair that's like really long
49:25
like that. Oh boy. It's just
49:27
so gross. Now what if a woman had hair that
49:29
long and
49:32
lived in Philadelphia? But
49:36
that was my. I feel like that woman would be like the
49:38
number one enemy of your household. But I so
49:40
wanted her to cut that hair into
49:42
like a really cool bob. Ooh,
49:44
like Helen Slater in. Helen
49:47
Slater. Helen Slater. Oh. And
49:50
I give my brother back his bike. What was that movie?
49:53
Oh, my bodyguard. No,
49:56
oh, love that movie too.
49:57
No, oh, it doesn't matter. Oh, better off dead.
49:59
Nope. Shit. Ah,
50:02
fuck. Well, June, while we're talking about hair, someone
50:05
did write in on the forums and they said they really wanted to hear
50:07
your opinion on man buns. That's Taylor
50:09
and Foto wanted to know what you think about man
50:11
buns. In general, you're in this movie. And
50:13
just in general, we were talking about hair, Chris. Yeah,
50:16
buns. Buns,
50:18
though, is interesting, because you don't like buns. And they
50:21
said move your buns in this movie.
50:22
Yeah, it's not that I don't like buns.
50:25
I just don't think they're, I think movies
50:27
portray them as super sexy to women,
50:29
and I don't think they are. But. That's
50:32
been well documented. It's weird, though, that everybody
50:34
makes fun of man buns, but
50:36
dudes keep wearing it. I'm like, I never do
50:38
it. Well, we're talking about different things, too. We're talking about man buns
50:41
being a hairstyle and buns of man
50:43
being their butts. I
50:44
don't mind man buns, but
50:47
I prefer a low man bun. I
50:50
don't love like a high.
50:51
Like a samurai. Got it. Like
50:53
where yours is. Yeah. So you don't like a resting on the back.
50:55
You don't like a fat Jew man bun. You like
50:57
a. But that's not even a man bun, I guess. You don't like a ponytail.
51:00
No, I don't like a ponytail. No, you don't. But
51:02
I would prefer it in a, I'd actually think
51:04
I'd prefer it in a bun, now that we're unpacking
51:06
this, but low at the nape of the neck.
51:08
Oh. Tidy or
51:11
messy? Like a knot. Messy. Not
51:13
even a bun, though, right? Yeah, like a little, a knot.
51:15
Yeah, loose, not too well groomed.
51:19
By the way, I don't like this, but
51:21
at all. But just
51:23
if I had to choose, that's
51:25
where I would place
51:26
it. Well. No, no, that's what people
51:28
want to know. People want to know
51:30
when we got the intro. Here's another thing I
51:32
want to run by you guys. We talked a lot about this theater.
51:36
And what was going on. The theater in the department? Yes, what
51:38
is going on in the theater? What's going on
51:40
there, do you think? Just like, what would
51:42
you describe what they're doing? Wait, in the
51:44
case of this movie? What
51:46
would you describe they're doing? The actual show that
51:48
they end up putting on? Yes, you call it
51:50
a show. What would you call it? I would call it the
51:53
opening of the exhibit
51:55
of the peasant girl. What
51:57
would you call it? I guess I
51:59
would call it.
51:59
an evening for the
52:01
department store. In which there
52:03
will be entertainment. Well, I think it's the shit you
52:05
see at like fashion week where they have
52:07
the
52:08
bring out the news style. You're all
52:10
wrong. Because and you missed the many
52:12
cues. I'll tell you exactly what it is here if we just play this
52:14
clip. Cause they say it a lot of times.
52:17
On the Hoppmann-Kurnick presentation, do
52:20
you realize how important that presentation
52:22
is? The eyes of the
52:24
entire city will be on that presentation. I'm
52:27
going to breathe the light into this presentation. You
52:30
say the presentation and my phony baloney job.
52:32
That comes, Pretzel. I think you'll be pleased at
52:35
our handling of your presentations. Let's
52:37
get busy. We have a presentation.
52:40
Someone has got to glitz up this presentation.
52:43
Can't be a presentation tomorrow.
52:45
All we have to do is wait till the presentation is
52:47
over. This is my store. My presentation.
52:50
He's about to
52:50
ruin my presentation. Presentation.
52:53
So that is a super god of all the times that they
52:55
said that the presentation is a presentation.
52:58
That is a meaningless word. That
53:00
is meaningless. So they are just
53:02
presenting this doll. Which
53:07
is the least impressive doll. It doesn't
53:09
look like her. It's not exciting. It would
53:11
basically be like if
53:14
when the King Tut exhibit
53:16
toured the country, it went to the
53:19
Macy's. It went to Macy's and
53:21
Nordstrom's.
53:23
Oh, we got to go to Nordstrom's this week and they have King
53:25
Tut. And I have
53:26
to get some briefs. And
53:32
I did not realize that part of it.
53:35
It seems like a one night only event. And
53:38
then when you see what it
53:39
is, it's a full on singing
53:41
and dancing. It is a full
53:43
stage show. King
53:46
Tut. King Tut.
53:52
That's what it would be like if King Tut was like
53:54
King Tut Born to life. That's Malakin.
53:57
That's the plot of Malakin. King Tut.
53:59
is in the Nordstroms and
54:02
except that, I thought about this for a second and here's
54:04
what I think. I think part of the problem would
54:07
be that we understand that mannequins
54:09
have no genitalia. So
54:13
dude mannequins would not have dicks. No,
54:15
but she was a present girl frozen so she had. So you think she doesn't
54:17
have a vagina? No,
54:20
she does because we saw her as a human being. So
54:22
you think if they took her clothes off while she
54:24
was a mannequin, she would still have a vagina?
54:26
Yes. Oh. Yes. Yes.
54:30
She would be frozen in shape for sure. If you
54:32
would in vagina, she would be like, they
54:35
would be labia majora,
54:37
labia minora. There
54:39
would be a clitoral hood, a clitoris.
54:42
A man, a quim. She doesn't have a vagina.
54:47
She doesn't have a vagina. She doesn't have nipples
54:49
as a mannequin. But as a human, she does? Yes.
54:52
No. And that's what happens in that
54:54
moment where the screen gets fuzzy.
54:56
Wait, then she gets nipples? Yes. No,
55:00
we'll come back. Well, OK, well, let me ask you.
55:02
Kim Catrall at one point was also a human.
55:06
Yes, but she was a, but she was
55:08
a. But
55:11
her thing is that she's a frozen human.
55:14
Kim Catrall is she's a spirit. I guess she was made. Yeah.
55:17
This is what, I mean, like, here's the thing. Well, this
55:19
supports. But Kim Catrall, he didn't make a vagina
55:22
on her. Do we know that? He
55:24
didn't make, I guess, a dryhump her. You've
55:27
got to get an Andrew McCarthy in here. I
55:30
want to call Kim Catrall and be like, listen, you
55:32
probably saw the mannequin that was built to
55:35
be you were their lips.
55:37
But I don't understand your point that you couldn't
55:39
do it with a man because he wouldn't have genitalia.
55:42
Well, I feel like there would. I guess.
55:44
Well, King Tut would have genitalia. Yeah, I guess it would be the
55:47
same thing for this. I guess in
55:49
this, like, the mannequins still have
55:52
boobs. There's still like an element of
55:54
sexuality to them that is like covetable.
55:56
But male mannequins are just like handsome dolls
55:59
in a weird way.
55:59
Sexless, I feel like.
56:02
But maybe, yeah. Maybe you haven't met the right mannequin.
56:04
They're a mannequin. By the way, I think we should put an undercover
56:07
on the whole thing, get into male-kin,
56:09
male-kin three. The confusing part
56:11
about that, I'm... Manic him. Manic,
56:15
he's a mannequin who's really... Manic him? Manic
56:18
him. Because Pink
56:20
Dot was very manic. They have to freeze him up. Wait,
56:23
now, I do wanna ask about what goes on when
56:25
you are frozen, because she
56:28
seems to be frozen,
56:29
but then when Hollywood gets it, he's like,
56:32
I was in Oz, I saw Dorothy, I
56:34
saw everybody. But is
56:36
he living in an alternate hell zone?
56:39
When you are frozen in the mannequin? A
56:41
hell zone. Or are you just
56:44
literally like, boom, bloop, and immediately, because
56:46
she seemed to have no... She thought it had
56:48
been 10 minutes. Yeah,
56:49
and even 10 minutes seems oddly... I
56:52
just saw you 15 minutes, 10 minutes ago.
56:54
She should've just said, I just saw you seconds
56:57
ago, because, but yes,
56:59
but yeah.
57:01
But it seemed like Hollywood was in
57:03
a very weird... It seemed like
57:05
he entered the void. He
57:08
entered an existential void that
57:10
he did not understand. That was
57:12
the other thing, he was able to put the necklace
57:14
on himself and turn himself
57:17
into a mannequin, which was strange.
57:20
No, by the way, there's no
57:22
way she has genitalia as a mannequin.
57:24
Okay, well... In
57:26
no way, she doesn't have nipples. So you think
57:28
that she puts the necklace on and her
57:30
nipples and vagina go away. Smooth. Just
57:33
like other things go away. She doesn't look exactly like herself,
57:37
her skin's different. Do you think there
57:40
are
57:40
organs inside of her? Of course
57:42
not. Definitely. Frozen organs. No,
57:44
so you think she's hollow. She becomes a hollow
57:46
thing. I agree with that. Oh, interesting. I
57:49
mean, made of wood. She's made of wood, everything
57:51
was wood. And
57:51
you can tell by the way people hold her, she
57:53
doesn't weigh that much. I just
57:55
pulled up a picture. That's true. I pulled up
57:57
a picture of his response. Nipples aren't heavy, though. I'm
58:01
gonna post this on our
58:03
ear wolf. I mean like that's a real question, how
58:05
heavy are nipples? I mean very,
58:08
very heavy. You gotta get a listener
58:10
to stand on a scale and weigh herself
58:13
and then shut off at her nipples. This is Chris
58:15
Swanson standing next to her. Now that have nipples.
58:18
That's Chrisy's sentence. And I don't like it. Standing next
58:20
to, so that's the difference. I'm gonna post this on the ear
58:22
wolf boards and I'll put it on. They
58:24
do look,
58:25
I'm doing what is for sale in that? The
58:28
picture, just the picture, yeah. I
58:30
wish you could
58:31
buy the mannequin. But yeah, the mannequin's not even very impressive
58:34
either. And it doesn't seem like, cause
58:36
at the end of the movie when
58:38
we get at Bernie's guy is now the mannequin
58:40
that's put together and oddly his ear. Ooh that was upsetting
58:43
when he falls out of the balloon. Well
58:46
they had to figure out a way to kill the bad guy without
58:49
really killing him. We have evidence, actually
58:51
we have evidence
58:52
from the movie that
58:54
they are empty because when he falls to the ground,
58:57
he shatters and he is just, there is nothing
58:59
inside.
59:02
What I wish they had done with her too is given
59:04
her a face. His face and
59:07
expression sort of look like him,
59:09
as does Hollywood's. But with her, she
59:11
as a mannequin has a very serious expression
59:14
on her face. Well she just has a
59:15
mannequin's. By the way.
59:17
She looks like just a store mannequin
59:19
where they look like frozen versions
59:21
of themselves. Do you remember? Which
59:24
is different. There was an episode of Seinfeld called The Mannequin where
59:26
there was an Elaine mannequin that looked
59:28
exactly like him. Oh yes. And it really
59:30
fucking looked
59:31
like Julia Louise Dreyfuss. I
59:34
mean, but this is, we could talk for
59:36
a long time about how advanced mannequin technology has
59:38
gotten. I mean, look. That wasn't the point.
59:40
If you go to Japan, you can get the best
59:43
mannequin. Absolutely. Everything in
59:45
there. With genitals. Genitals fully
59:47
worked. Fully genital
59:49
mannequins.
59:51
He's so mannequin. Ooh we
59:53
gotta put some jennies on these mannequins.
59:56
Well
59:58
that's always the interesting thing. Is
1:00:00
that the interesting thing about the Ken Barbie? Is
1:00:04
that the Ken Barbie always had underwear on? Oh really? Really?
1:00:07
Oh yeah, and Barbie, as we know her, doesn't
1:00:10
have any underwear. Well that's crazy, that's
1:00:12
how it should be. She's nasty. Yeah, because
1:00:14
a guy's got special junk in there. What
1:00:17
are you gonna throw out there? She has no vagina, obviously,
1:00:19
but there's nothing to it. Barbie
1:00:21
doesn't. Barbie doesn't. But Ken doesn't have a-
1:00:23
I think he definitely does, because he's covering
1:00:25
some of that. No, he's got flat, he's flat and- No,
1:00:28
but I get what you're saying. That's
1:00:30
intimidating. It's intimidating
1:00:33
that he should be wearing underwear. Is that right?
1:00:35
Can you look that up, Paul? Ken underwear?
1:00:37
Can we just Google Ken doll
1:00:39
underwear, please? I'm gonna do it right now. And see
1:00:42
if anybody on Etsy's making it.
1:00:44
Um,
1:00:47
Ken doll is wearing underwear. Really?
1:00:50
Well, he looks like he's being sold underwear. Paul,
1:00:52
I don't want you to- No, it's not
1:00:53
underwear you put on him. Look at a naked
1:00:55
Ken doll. Look at a naked Ken doll.
1:00:59
At some point, you're gonna forget about this June.
1:01:01
You're gonna look at his Google history and be like, what are you
1:01:03
up to?
1:01:04
Well, one time I was doing a bit with her
1:01:06
and we were on Amazon. And I was
1:01:09
like, looking for father's day gifts. And we
1:01:11
just like typed in like the most like obscene
1:01:13
thing to see what pop up in Amazon. And now all
1:01:16
my suggestions on Amazon are like, disgusting
1:01:19
erotica or like sex books.
1:01:21
Male anatomically correct- Look at her images,
1:01:23
look at her images. Oh, wow. This
1:01:26
is amazing. All right, so I'm looking- He's wearing underwear.
1:01:29
Oh, I see what you're saying. He's not
1:01:31
wearing physical underwear, but his
1:01:34
waist is designed as plastic
1:01:36
underwear. He's underbuilt into his body. Oh, let me see.
1:01:38
See like- He always has that on.
1:01:40
I see. He always has briefs on. See, so he's
1:01:42
wearing- So the doll is the mole.
1:01:45
There's no fabric. It's like sumo underwear. Look up a naked
1:01:47
Barbie. This will also be on Twitter and Facebook. Okay, so that's interesting because
1:01:49
that suggests that there is a dick
1:01:51
under there. Absolutely. But Barbie
1:01:53
is without- Look up Barbie. And
1:01:56
will you also look up American Girl Doll bra?
1:01:58
Just
1:01:59
look it up. I just not
1:02:01
because I'm like looking for one, but I just want to
1:02:03
know like all right Barbie
1:02:06
has no underwear
1:02:07
Right, but no, but also no genitalia,
1:02:11
she's just smooth, but you kind of has
1:02:13
but she kind of has like a little bit of What
1:02:15
we're into right now guys don't look
1:02:23
But this is good we have lost
1:02:25
our minds we are just passing
1:02:28
around here Is it or looking at naked
1:02:30
dolls there's a fail even there's
1:02:32
what is happening? There is a cleft
1:02:34
there? There's
1:02:36
there is I really there's
1:02:38
a little camel toe. There's a cloven. There's
1:02:41
a little there's a suggestion of
1:02:44
the opening There's
1:02:47
a hint of what does our butt has to start
1:02:49
yeah
1:02:54
Where does that that brings a good question
1:02:56
dude?
1:03:10
Hahahahaha
1:03:18
All right, so this is the naked Barbie butt
1:03:20
right here Okay,
1:03:31
that's just got it That's
1:03:34
and it goes underneath you see it goes
1:03:36
in between oh my god What
1:03:38
about that's the same thing the Ken was
1:03:40
an old one that had that under yeah We're gonna be
1:03:42
putting on guys Guys
1:03:47
I love that this is where this is gone Is
1:03:51
it how did this get made t-shirt? That's just
1:03:53
a Barbie crotch yep, and
1:03:56
then it says where does the powder? It starts good. Where
1:03:58
is the putter? Here's a comparison.
1:04:00
Oh, there's a bunch of stuff. Oh,
1:04:04
this is interesting. This
1:04:06
is interesting. This
1:04:08
is interesting. 90s Barbie has underwear.
1:04:13
Really? But 2000s Barbie
1:04:15
doesn't. What about earlier than 2000s? Well,
1:04:17
that's the same as pubic hair. That's
1:04:19
the same as pubic hair, because 90s Barbie had a landing
1:04:22
strip in 2020. It had nothing.
1:04:25
Oh my gosh. Oh boy. This
1:04:28
is pretty great. I love it all. Well,
1:04:34
I think we've talked about everything in this movie. Oh,
1:04:37
I did want to say, so when that guy, when the
1:04:39
bad guy is now, we put back
1:04:41
together. I
1:04:44
love it. We're not gonna recover from
1:04:47
this. We're never gonna recover.
1:04:49
This is what this show is about. We've mentioned
1:04:51
this horrible mole. Oh. Did
1:04:55
they have to? Can you look for Barbie mole? Barbie.
1:04:59
Harry mole Barbie. Medieval
1:05:04
Barbie. I bet you we could all pull
1:05:06
together money and get that Terry Kaiser dummy. Why
1:05:08
doesn't Barbie have nipples?
1:05:11
Yeah. You know what
1:05:13
I mean? She has boobs. Why does a Barbie
1:05:15
have nipples? There's so much to be said about Barbie.
1:05:17
Ken has nipples, right?
1:05:19
Does Ken have nipples? Look up
1:05:21
Ken doll nipples. Ken doll
1:05:23
nipples. I don't think
1:05:25
he does. He has like pecs, but I don't think
1:05:27
he has nipples. But
1:05:29
Ken has sexuality. I'm
1:05:32
listening. Look
1:05:34
up Ken doll sexuality. How does
1:05:36
Ken have sexuality? Ken has sexuality because
1:05:38
he's covering it. We know there's a dick over there.
1:05:40
That I agree with.
1:05:41
Barbie has nothing other than
1:05:43
boobs and the shape of her. Yes. But
1:05:46
she has no vagina. She has no vagina and no nips.
1:05:48
And no nips. So she can't have children.
1:05:51
Does she have a uterus? Does Barbie
1:05:53
have a uterus? I
1:05:56
don't think so. I don't either frankly.
1:05:58
Because I've checked.
1:05:59
because um. Ken Dalles does
1:06:02
not have nipples, he has the definition.
1:06:05
He has everything but, she has pecs no nipples.
1:06:07
Pecs no nips. And she has boobs no nips.
1:06:10
So I guess that makes sense. That
1:06:12
adds up. Oh
1:06:13
my god.
1:06:16
So we are in agreement
1:06:18
that Chrissy Swanson,
1:06:20
lost her. Even though she, well
1:06:23
because. I don't think we are in agreement. I
1:06:25
think I'm agreeing with Jason that Chrissy Swanson is
1:06:27
the rare exception. She's the mannequin with nips,
1:06:30
and an asshole, and a vagina, because
1:06:33
she's a frozen woman. I agree. Where
1:06:35
does her butt start? Where does her butt start? Her butt starts in the
1:06:37
front. Oh front butt? Oh
1:06:39
are we talking about Chrissy Swanson's front butt? It might
1:06:41
be all butt. From the front to the back it might, she might
1:06:43
just have a butt. Search history is forever
1:06:46
unclean. The only way that we can kind
1:06:48
of recover from this is to hear Michak
1:06:50
Taylor do something
1:06:52
that people might assume is rapping. Take a
1:06:54
listen.
1:06:56
Once upon a time, a
1:06:58
peasant girl was victim of a crime.
1:07:04
Was frozen ever since she dared
1:07:06
to love the handsome prince.
1:07:09
Is that so wrong? But
1:07:12
alas, a thousand years had
1:07:14
passed, since that spell
1:07:16
from hell had been cast.
1:07:20
That is Hollywood now a part
1:07:23
of the show. Hollywood's job
1:07:25
hard to pin down. He
1:07:27
is. And he's explaining to a bunch of onlookers
1:07:30
who don't give a shit about
1:07:32
this mannequin. Let me ask you this. But yet
1:07:34
they are applauding at the end because the spaceship is
1:07:36
coming down to deliver her to
1:07:38
a medieval themed stage.
1:07:41
That's the other thing that makes no sense. Not
1:07:43
an alien, nothing alien about
1:07:45
this. When there's not a presentation
1:07:47
to do. Yes. What is Hollywood's
1:07:50
job?
1:07:51
I would think designing the window. He's like, that's his
1:07:54
night job. I
1:07:58
put this outfit on and I.
1:07:59
I kinda do this whole, yeah. It's a paycheck,
1:08:02
man. I do this offensive stereotype
1:08:04
because they. I mean, I have to think that they're doing
1:08:06
a ton of presentations here. Are they guys?
1:08:09
I don't
1:08:09
know. I mean, I still don't understand why
1:08:11
the department store even wanted,
1:08:14
like what are they getting? Although,
1:08:17
Tina Rama is coming to cover this event.
1:08:19
Oh, Tina Rama. Tina Rama. Tina Rama.
1:08:22
Do you understand what that means? Tina Rama
1:08:24
over here. Oh my god. Jack up the prices
1:08:27
on all the jewelry. And
1:08:29
then we got that guy, William Ragsdale, to do it. You
1:08:32
had a third character, a British guy.
1:08:33
They all were working it out. Oh
1:08:35
yeah. Terry Kaiser's main thing was
1:08:37
just to hit people in the face, which I did. At
1:08:40
a certain point, he gets
1:08:43
into a full suit of armor.
1:08:44
Yes. And I was like, when the
1:08:47
where did this come from? And she starts
1:08:49
driving a car. A go-kart. A go-kart
1:08:51
very well. And she's again, a peasant
1:08:54
girl who. She drives the go-kart out on
1:08:56
the street. She drives downtown Philly to Germantown,
1:08:58
to his house. She drives a go-kart
1:09:01
to the suburbs of Philadelphia,
1:09:04
to his house, which she somehow knows that
1:09:06
he gets into. And they justify it by saying, wow, she's got a great
1:09:08
sense of direction. She drives a
1:09:11
go-kart through a plate
1:09:13
glass window. Under a truck. Which
1:09:15
would shred her. It
1:09:18
would destroy, it would cut her two ribbons.
1:09:20
It would cut her genitals off. With
1:09:24
skinner nipples. Man
1:09:27
alive. And Andy and Gail
1:09:29
finally get together because he hairsprays
1:09:32
the German guys. And she starts
1:09:34
making out with them. That's what I mean. Everybody is like. Looking
1:09:36
for love. They're looking for love. It's like the. Even
1:09:40
the girl, the perfume girl in the security guard.
1:09:43
That's Gail and Andy. That's.
1:09:44
They reminded me. I didn't know
1:09:47
their names. I didn't know their names. I dare you. It
1:09:49
reminded me of the horny friend from
1:09:51
Village People
1:09:52
movie.
1:09:57
Her friend who was like always horny for all the
1:09:59
village people.
1:09:59
There's a village people movie. Oh, it's
1:10:02
amazing. Can't stop the music. You'll love it aging
1:10:05
What here's what I thought the ending was going to be
1:10:07
instead of putting the necklace on Terry Kaiser I thought they should
1:10:09
have just killed him straight up they
1:10:12
murder That the
1:10:14
and this is this is my this is my 80s male
1:10:17
chauvinist end of the movie that The
1:10:19
necklace somehow falls into the hands of the security guard
1:10:22
and as that may has the perfume Puts
1:10:25
it on her and then he gets
1:10:27
to keep her That's it. That was that's
1:10:29
not male chauvinist. That is just creepy
1:10:32
serial killer.
1:10:33
Oh, yeah I know, you know, you know what it
1:10:35
should be is the guy who loves the
1:10:37
girl That the girl doesn't want to be with
1:10:39
him He should trap her with the necklace and but
1:10:41
I thought that like it felt like that wouldn't have been
1:10:44
out of the norm if he Did that?
1:10:46
That they were gonna tie the necklace
1:10:48
around each other's necks And
1:10:51
then grab hands and jump off They're
1:10:55
gonna kill themselves as mannequins they were gonna
1:10:58
fell men Louise and
1:10:58
so just freeze-frame credits
1:11:01
Wow I would have liked that Now
1:11:05
that's from the first movie it was oh it was I was like
1:11:08
the best starship to do the best the best
1:11:10
part of the Movie in many ways is the song from
1:11:12
the first move. Wow. Okay. That is a really
1:11:14
wild ending you thought it was gonna be Yeah,
1:11:17
I was surprised. I thought they were just gonna straight
1:11:19
up kill the bad guy and just sail away in the
1:11:21
hot air balloon Well, they do kind of what they do.
1:11:23
Well, they kill the bad guy It's a really disturbing end because in the
1:11:25
garbage truck picks him up They reveal that they've put
1:11:28
him back together But when they go back to Bavaria
1:11:30
or every from the the tour guide goes
1:11:33
This has been and
1:11:35
that's the story of
1:11:38
the whatever the count but no
1:11:40
one believes it Well
1:11:41
clear this just happened. It's a couple weeks ago.
1:11:44
Like it's probably in the news You
1:11:46
you woman who was the tour
1:11:49
guide when you were showing the peasant girl earlier
1:11:51
in the movie Like the count was part of
1:11:53
your country as of mere weeks ago
1:11:55
Yeah, and you were having a human being there
1:11:57
was a known entity. You were giving the tour to
1:11:59
the
1:11:59
Girl, the other person
1:12:02
girl. I was actually here, kind of freaking me
1:12:04
out. It was like two months ago. Yeah, she should
1:12:06
have had like a little bit of an emotional moment. Well, see,
1:12:08
in that moment, I thought, see, in that
1:12:10
moment, I thought we had jumped a thousand years ahead.
1:12:14
I thought we were, and I was like, and I looked at the frame
1:12:16
because I was like, oh, are we in the future
1:12:18
now? What are they, how are they representing that? And I was like,
1:12:20
oh no, they're not. Dude, Malakin
1:12:22
three is all Terry Kaiser a
1:12:25
thousand years in the future. Yep, I
1:12:27
love that. Future mall. It's 2091.
1:12:29
By the way, if these tour guys know this lore
1:12:32
about these mannequins, why don't they just fucking
1:12:34
take the necklace off the mannequins and see for
1:12:37
themselves? Yeah. I know, yeah. I
1:12:39
have now thought of a reason why Malakin is
1:12:41
bad. It almost
1:12:43
sounds like a male pelican,
1:12:45
not a male mannequin. Well,
1:12:47
we could also, mannequin is for men and
1:12:50
women, so we could keep it mannequin. Mannequin.
1:12:53
Well, it's a wonder
1:12:54
because mannequins, mannequin
1:12:56
does imply that the first mannequins were
1:12:59
men. I don't, I'm
1:13:01
not sure. It's just a male world and we all
1:13:03
have to accept it? Yeah, I mean, I
1:13:05
wonder what the etymology of the word is and I don't
1:13:08
know that it's like man. I'm looking
1:13:10
it up right now. Going to
1:13:12
the definition. A mannequin, also
1:13:15
called a mannequin, a dummy, a
1:13:17
lay figure or a dress form is an articulated
1:13:19
doll used by artists, tailors, dressmakers,
1:13:21
and window dressers and others to display off fit clothing.
1:13:24
It's life-sized dolls with simulated
1:13:27
airways. Oh, it's also used
1:13:29
for life-sized dolls with simulated airways. But
1:13:31
genitalia? Does it say anything about genitalia?
1:13:33
Let's see. They're
1:13:37
using nuclear tests. Does it
1:13:39
say where the butt starts? Let's
1:13:41
see, I think it's like. Mannequin comes
1:13:44
from the French word meaning mannequin, French
1:13:47
word mannequin, which acquired the meaning an
1:13:50
artist's jointed model,
1:13:52
which came from the Flemish word mannequin,
1:13:55
meaning little man figurine. And
1:13:58
it was used in the United Kingdom.
1:13:59
it referred to fashion models themselves.
1:14:03
The meaning as a dummy dating
1:14:05
from the start of World War II.
1:14:07
Interesting. Dang, we really
1:14:10
got to the bottom of it. We really
1:14:12
did it. And I'm just looking at mannequins with
1:14:15
nipples right now. So anyway, obviously
1:14:18
we had an opinion about it, but there are other people out there who had a second
1:14:20
opinion. It is now time for Second Opinions.
1:14:23
U of A! U of A! U of A! U
1:14:25
of A! U of A! U of A! U of
1:14:27
A! U of A! U of A! U of A! U of A! The movie
1:14:29
was a piece of shit,
1:14:32
yet this person recommends it. Tell
1:14:37
me what is the message.
1:14:40
Maybe that art is subjective.
1:14:44
I need a second opinion.
1:14:48
All right, these are five star reviews, called
1:14:50
from Amazon. They are weird. So
1:14:53
let's get into it.
1:14:56
This is really interesting because these
1:14:58
reviews are from an Amazon
1:15:01
box set of Mannequin 2 and Mannequin 1
1:15:04
together. So you'll see a little bit of crossover
1:15:06
here. This one is from Brenda
1:15:08
Hobby, AKA Taz Brataz.
1:15:12
And this is written on August 19, 2014. So
1:15:14
relatively new.
1:15:16
I don't care for love stories. But
1:15:20
you know how usually the first one
1:15:22
is better than the second ones? I'm made
1:15:24
of hate. Well, these two are amazingly
1:15:27
equal, and they were so much more
1:15:29
than a love story. They were clever.
1:15:31
They were cunningly funny. And they
1:15:33
kept you drawn to the edge of your
1:15:36
seat to see what can happen next. It was
1:15:38
a damn goodbye and
1:15:40
an awesome ad to my DVD collection.
1:15:43
Holy shit. Five stars.
1:15:46
Five
1:15:46
fucking stars? Nope.
1:15:50
I get it. This one is one of my favorites
1:15:52
of just all Amazon reviews. This is from Blonde
1:15:54
Freddy, written in 2012.
1:15:57
I really like Mannequin. The best version
1:15:59
is
1:15:59
is the second one. I have bought several movies,
1:16:02
kind of a lot of them, and all are made
1:16:04
with quality workmanship. The movies
1:16:06
are perfect, no faults, sound is awesome.
1:16:09
Who would have thought Amazon.com would have
1:16:11
great movies? This is the place to buy
1:16:13
a good movie, or even rent one too. I
1:16:16
tell everyone to go to Amazon.com
1:16:18
to buy all movies. People
1:16:20
always ask, where's a good place to buy a good
1:16:22
movie online? Easy answer, Amazon.com
1:16:25
of course. This is a review for Amazon.
1:16:28
Well, is Amazon our sponsor this week?
1:16:29
Five stars
1:16:32
just because Amazon was good. Now, this
1:16:34
is a thing that kind of came up a lot, which
1:16:36
was people did not like
1:16:39
Kim Cottrell.
1:16:40
They felt that she was too sexy. And a
1:16:42
lot of people liked Christy Swanson more because
1:16:45
she was a little bit more genteel.
1:16:47
But
1:16:48
the rest are all written kind of like this.
1:16:52
This is from Get the Dirt. Five stars,
1:16:54
Get the Dirt from Rebecca Durank.
1:16:57
Okay, now bear with me on this.
1:16:59
I always think that Christy
1:17:01
Swanson is a beautiful actress. And
1:17:03
in this movie, her lover
1:17:05
boyfriend wants to treat her like a
1:17:08
queen, and also to fight for
1:17:10
her honor so that is more
1:17:12
like going after. A man
1:17:14
who has no knowledge to be a hitman to
1:17:16
make things look like taking Christy
1:17:19
hostage in his hot air balloon, and I think
1:17:21
he's threatening the couple of love, facing
1:17:24
a fear and turning into stone in a magic
1:17:26
spell. So he's taking a big dose of
1:17:29
his medicine by kidnapping
1:17:31
the princess. So that
1:17:33
was a five star review. That's
1:17:36
a five star. That's a five, and then that's followed
1:17:38
by this one, which is from Crazy Python,
1:17:40
also written in 2012. First
1:17:43
of all, I didn't buy this DVD, but
1:17:46
I will when I have the chance. We're
1:17:48
having many financial problems here in Portugal.
1:17:51
And while I don't wanna start to go nuclear on the government,
1:17:54
nothing will ever change. Oh boy.
1:17:56
But I still love Mannequin too. Oh.
1:18:00
I first saw it on video 500 years ago
1:18:02
because of William Ragsdale, Herman's head
1:18:04
and Terry Kaiser. Let's face it We Can It Burnies
1:18:07
is a fantastic comedy and Herman's head was
1:18:09
a very funny sitcom with both Hank Azaria
1:18:11
and Yirdly Smith from The Simpsons Maybe shout
1:18:13
will open their eyes and release this on
1:18:16
DVD while we're still alive Oh
1:18:18
boy. Oh boy, but the story
1:18:20
of mannequin to itself is quite amusing and entertaining Who
1:18:24
ever thought of finding a woman of their dreams
1:18:26
in a magical place? I know I did so,
1:18:28
please don't care about professional
1:18:30
film critics and their opinions They're about as
1:18:32
valid as yours by this DVD
1:18:35
five stars Don't care
1:18:37
about their opinions, but they're as valid as
1:18:39
yours. Yeah, so your opinion is equally
1:18:41
invalid at others
1:18:42
During now like they
1:18:44
didn't even have the materials in medieval time to turn
1:18:47
her into a mannequin
1:18:50
Like she should have been stone. That's what
1:18:52
I see. She will yeah or a really carved
1:18:55
or a crude wood carving Yeah, yes,
1:18:57
she shouldn't have just turned into a modern-day mannequin.
1:18:59
Yeah. No, she turned into a store
1:19:02
mannequin Which would not have existed
1:19:04
in medieval times even remotely But
1:19:07
then you could argue that accents would probably be in medieval times
1:19:09
to let's go around the table Would you recommend this movie
1:19:11
June? Would you say watch this movie?
1:19:13
Actually, I didn't love watching this
1:19:15
movie. Yeah Steve
1:19:18
yeah, I've totally recommended I I was
1:19:21
telling Jason I had to go to Largo
1:19:23
last night and I got halfway through the movie
1:19:26
and my whole time at Largo I was just going
1:19:28
I
1:19:29
Can't wait to go back and
1:19:31
it had huge holes. I hated
1:19:34
the the German guys so
1:19:36
much, but I
1:19:38
Thought it was kind of funny. I and I love
1:19:40
Christie Swanson so much. Yeah.
1:19:43
Yeah, I would 100% watches and I
1:19:45
will I'm like I Really
1:19:48
I was gonna say I want to watch the first
1:19:50
one because I know I saw it when it came out
1:19:53
But I have no reference points for
1:19:55
it. I also highly recommend watching this movie. I enjoyed
1:19:57
the hell out of it I mean,
1:19:59
it's crazy
1:19:59
Like the music cues
1:20:02
alone, I mean, if you're my age, if
1:20:04
you're like in your 40s, if you're a teenager in the
1:20:06
80s, the music cues alone
1:20:09
are so satisfying. Oh yeah. For
1:20:11
like for the songs and the montages and
1:20:14
just the ancillary kind of chase music,
1:20:16
like is so terrific. It's all
1:20:18
sounds like forgotten Oingo Boingo
1:20:20
songs. It's so 80s, even though it's in the
1:20:22
90s. Yeah. I will also
1:20:25
say that you can get both
1:20:27
of these movies together in a great DVD combo pack.
1:20:29
For almost $3. So unless
1:20:32
you're in Portugal and don't
1:20:34
make me go nuclear. I apologize to the people
1:20:37
of Philadelphia. You have a great city, but
1:20:39
you know it doesn't hold a candle in New York. Suck
1:20:42
it, Philly. Suck it. All
1:20:45
right, so Steve, do you have anything
1:20:48
that you'd like to plug? Nope. You
1:20:50
can just follow me on Instagram at Twitter at SteveAji. You
1:20:53
have amazing pictures on Instagram. I
1:20:55
would highly recommend following you on that. Jason,
1:20:57
anything you want to talk about? No, no, not really.
1:20:59
June, anything you want to hit? Watch
1:21:02
the second season of Grace and Frankie on Netflix
1:21:05
and Lady Dynamite's
1:21:06
on Netflix too. Yay. Yay. And
1:21:09
you can follow us on Twitter and on Facebook.
1:21:12
That's where we announce everything about the show.
1:21:14
Listen to our mini episodes because if you
1:21:16
have a correction and omission, something that we didn't talk about
1:21:18
here, you'll have your chance to voice it. You can call
1:21:21
us at 619. If you know where the
1:21:23
butt starts. If you know where the mannequin
1:21:25
butt starts, you can do it. By
1:21:28
the way, we could probably get the financing for mannequin
1:21:30
three. Oh, God. Oh, my God.
1:21:33
I feel like we could probably get mannequin
1:21:35
three, mannequin,
1:21:37
financed and made. Oh, easy.
1:21:39
For a million dollars. By the way, it's not a bad
1:21:41
idea. It's not. Who would we cast? It's
1:21:43
not a bad idea. Who would you cast as the mannequin?
1:21:45
Chris Hemsworth would be the first. Jon Hamm. Ooh,
1:21:47
Jon Hamm would be great. Are you going a little bit older? I was thinking.
1:21:50
No, I think you gotta go, yeah. I would do like Liam Hemsworth.
1:21:52
James Franco. Or like Zach Efron. Oh,
1:21:55
Frank, the host, yeah, Kefron. Zach
1:21:57
Efron's great. Yeah, OK, and
1:21:59
Selena.
1:21:59
Is she like the designer or is it like
1:22:02
something like that? Is it like a, wait.
1:22:04
Or is it something like Holly Hunter?
1:22:06
What? A Cougar Holly Hunter.
1:22:09
Cougar like a Cougar in a compare. Wait,
1:22:11
guys, guys, guys, guys. It's Kim Khatral.
1:22:14
Oh my god. Reprising
1:22:17
her part, she falls in love.
1:22:20
And we get Kristy Swanson in there. It's
1:22:22
all three of transformed.
1:22:25
Guys, let's make this goddamn
1:22:27
move. That is the best. Oh my god,
1:22:30
dude. That's actually a great idea. Zac
1:22:32
Efron, Kristy Swanson,
1:22:34
Kim Khatral, and inexplicably
1:22:37
Holly Hunter from all.
1:22:38
And one of the Holly
1:22:40
Hunter just got us to Kim Khatral because it's the same
1:22:42
idea. And we have
1:22:45
to have, unfortunately, Michak
1:22:47
Taylor passed away. We'd have to have Hollywood's son, I
1:22:50
believe, in this movie. You have to find a young
1:22:52
guy that can get a Hannibal Bur. Oh
1:22:55
yeah. That's a great idea. I was thinking go the opposite
1:22:57
way, make Hannibal Bur.
1:22:58
Guys, guys. Hi,
1:23:02
Loki. We gotta make this movie.
1:23:03
Loki, I kinda like that. I
1:23:06
love it. All right, well, thank you guys so much for listening. Thank you
1:23:08
to everybody here at Earwolf. Thank you to Avril Halle for
1:23:10
putting together all those clips. Nick Kiley
1:23:12
for doing all of our research on the movie producer
1:23:15
that killed himself because of the financial downfall.
1:23:17
Marissa Zites, our big engineer, Sam. I know,
1:23:20
I called you big. That's fine. The
1:23:22
big, big old guy. Everybody
1:23:26
here at Earwolf, July DS. Thank
1:23:28
you so much for listening. We'll see you in the mini-world.
1:23:31
Wow, what is happening? We are off the rails.
1:23:33
Woo! This
1:23:37
is great. Here it is.
1:23:46
The presenting sponsor of How Did This Get Made is Nissan
1:23:49
and the all-new, all-electric Nissan Aria.
1:23:51
The Nissan Aria is what some would call
1:23:54
a fully loaded EV because it is brimming
1:23:56
with style, innovation, power, and intelligence.
1:23:58
Here's the thing, Nissan.
1:23:59
Aria is kind of like the John
1:24:02
Wick of cars. Okay. It
1:24:04
is going to knock your
1:24:07
freaking socks off. All right. This car
1:24:09
can go from 0 to 60 in 4.8 glorious
1:24:13
seconds. That's like John Wick. He's in a library and all of
1:24:15
a sudden he's throwing a book at Boban and
1:24:17
he's defeated him and you don't even know how it happened.
1:24:20
It's just moving that quick. And why?
1:24:22
Because John Wick has like this ability
1:24:24
to see everything because he's got
1:24:27
a 12.3 inch dual
1:24:29
display in his eyes and he
1:24:31
dresses smooth like the
1:24:33
smooth nappa leather interior.
1:24:36
What I'm saying is this, if you've thought
1:24:38
about getting yourself into an EV, get
1:24:40
yourself into an EV that is full
1:24:43
of style, innovation, power,
1:24:45
and intelligence, just like John Wick.
1:24:48
