Yeah. 116 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:46,760 I think I blocked it out because I cried that night, 117 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,440 but wasn't and every night thereafter, but. 118 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,960 Wasn't bitchy. 119 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,600 Like every night. 120 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400 Since there was like little to no dialogue. Right? Yeah. It was just a dog. 121 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:57,040 I had a colored book for that movie and I remember I was pissed cause I did not, 122 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,080 not have the right shade of brown for Benji damn. 123 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,160 but I actually, like, I thought it was BJI, 124 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,960 the hunted mm-hmm , uh, which is, 125 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,880 I guess the third in the BJI movies. I guess there's a bunch, 126 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,680 I guess apparently there was one in 2018. This is Benji the limit, 127 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640 but I didn't see it. Sorry, Benji . Um, 128 00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:18,920 but what I think was actually my first one and 129 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,960 I'm surprised it's, 130 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,680 it's not a cartoon that I can remember or something like that, 131 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,200 the risk cats or whatever, 132 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,840 but it might have been flight of the navigator in 19. I remember that 180 6. 133 00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:29,280 Yeah. 134 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,440 Yeah. With a talking alien. 135 00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:35,960 July of 86, which I think I was maybe five, but um, 136 00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:37,360 I remember, I would imagine, 137 00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:42,440 and I never went and saw a movie with my mom until it was like, uh, 138 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,680 driving, miss Daisy or back to the future two. 139 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,280 And she had not seen back to future one. 140 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,960 weird for her mm-hmm so my dad must have taken me to fly 141 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,560 to the navigator cuz he's more, 142 00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:55,760 sci-fi kind of nerd um, alien. 143 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,920 Ship couldn't fly that. 144 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,840 Way. So I think I loved it because I was like, oh my God, 145 00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,600 that's PE Herman's voice was it really? Yeah. But I, well, 146 00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:08,560 Paul Ruben or a Paul Ruben impersonator for the, the, uh, 147 00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:10,680 the navigator or whatever was. 148 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,880 Sarah Jessica Parker in that? 149 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480 Yeah. She had some purple hair. Okay. But okay. 150 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,040 Yeah. I remember that movie.

I don't think it. 153 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,320 Was, uh, in theaters. Yeah. 154 00:07:22,410 --> 00:07:24,240 So, so Benji was basically. 155 00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:25,320 Banging. 156 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Well, he was a precursor to air bud. Yeah. 157 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,400 Yeah. And, and Homeward bound. The. 158 00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:31,520 The revenge of Benji was on there somewhere too. 159 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,080 the revenge? Um, I just had a, uh, epiphany. Um, my, 160 00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:40,280 I do remember seeing this in theaters, uh, the movie big because oh. 161 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:40,920 What year was that? 162 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,320 I 88. Okay. Now I don't remember much about it. 163 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,160 I remember seeing it could be the only thing I can remember about the movie is I 164 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,200 was with my mom and like her friend and it was the scene where he was grabbing 165 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,240 the girl's breasts for the panic, kept turning the light on. 166 00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:58,840 And my mom was friend put her hand over my eyes to like, 167 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480 like that as a joke. Yeah. And I, but I remember, I mean, 168 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,080 I would've been five. Yeah. And I was like. 169 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,520 So you'd already grabbed a breast by this point. 170 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200 Oh, of course. I've had had a couple in my mouth. 171 00:08:09,650 --> 00:08:13,240 It was like just about five years earlier. I was like, but uh, yeah. 172 00:08:13,470 --> 00:08:15,920 I remember seeing that in theaters, but again, 173 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120 I couldn't tell you anything about it besides that, 174 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,120 but lights like her putting her hand in front of my eyes. Yeah. 175 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,680 Mm-hmm. 176 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,400 yeah. I think, uh, 177 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,240 all I could remember from flight of the navigator and I couldn't follow along 178 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,360 the story at all the whole time travel. I'm like, that's his dad, but he, 179 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,120 her brother is, he is older now or I, I don't know.
