Sometimes we lose, sometimes

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

0:15

easy and free. Sometimes

0:17

one and one makes three. So

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

everyone has an order. Go get yours today.

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
