Enjoy the Episode Hello and welcome to fuck your opinion a movie review pod Scotto here Welcome to fk your opinion podcast@gmail.com. Which is that the net? What What's the name of the podcast again? Shawn, what kind of hyper shit are you throwing? You're a real fucking Cat in the Hat. just jumping in when no one asks you Oh yeah. Kill me now. I'm so excited. Yeah, we watched so there's a movie review Podcast, where each week one of us will pick a movie to watch that we like or love. I don't know how you only will love this movie but but he does a movie that we like that we know the other person will not this week, breaking from his tradition of again, in case you didn't listen to Jani last pick. It was a world war two Holocaust. Holocaust film. Yeah. And then he followed that up with a cat in the hat. But before we talk about the Cat in the Hat, I teased Jani something I told him before, because he made fun of my sexuality. A couple episodes ago when we watched Bloodsport. Now I'm a guy, I'm straight. Yep. But I do love them and some things that are not a typical or not typical. So for example, I hate sports. I was watching my roommate was watching. Like literally, I live in LA and this past year, we're number one in basketball, the Lakers won whatever championship, her basketball. And then the Dodgers literally just won the world championship for baseball. So we got to number one teams. And I'm like, that's nice. Okay, sure. Whatever, I don't care. But you know what I got really into this week, and I'm just like, kind of getting a little obsessed over what the bachelorette? I started watching The Bachelorette. What? Okay, fantastic. So the new, I won't get too much into it, but I started watching Well, I listened to this podcast called higher learning. And it's a it's a great podcast about, you know, politics and news going on right now. But anyways, one of the CO hosts is Rachel Lindsay, who is who was a former Bachelorette, and she got her co host, she started watching it and this guy just like you would not think you'd be into it. But he got really into and I'm like, okay, I want to keep on listening to this podcast. So I'll start I'll start watching it and it's fucking wild, man. It's insane. It's so silly and so self aware. And the this current season is I haven't seen I started watching Rachel season two, but this shows fucking wild. You guys need to watch the bachelorette that you do not have you only that is half an endorsement. You do not have an endorsement from Yami. Here, you do not endorse his position. I can't I don't want to give anything away, but it's one of the most asinine shows I've ever seen. But going off of that yonis is shrugging right now, by the way, going off of that Oh, not shrugging. I'm I'm like rubbing my finger into my forehead trying to remove as many layers of skin as I can. But Jani, what I recommend you watch is there, there was a show that was in 2012 called burning love with Ken Marino starred in it, but it has so many great talented actors and actresses like comedic actors of that time. It's basically like seven days in hell, but that type of spoof and parody, but on the dating show, yeah, the bachelor and it's, I got my roommate into it, and it's so fucking funny. It's so like, just watch the first episode. It's only 18 minutes long. If you don't love it by then. I don't know what were the what where do I find it? What do I need this program? It's it's on you can get like a web version on YouTube. I contain link or if you have like a Roku or fire stick You can download this app called Pluto. And you can watch it higher quality there. But with commercial, so, you know, we'll talk about burning love later on a future episode. But possibly, I guess it's it's a it's a fucking it's one of the funniest shows I haven't seen in years. And it's so funny. But I just want to get that out there because that's what I'm doing. And that was the highlight of my week. And the low point of this week was Cat in the Hat. That's weird, because that was the high point of my week. Anytime I sit down to watch the Cat in the Hat. It's always a high point in my week. And folks, I'll tell you why. This is a this is a movie and I do stress movie, I'm aware of what it is just like it is aware of what it is. I chose this movie, because it was I think one of the first movies in the 2000s. I remember watching along with like the Lord of the Rings, it was Cat in the Hat, and probably the most adult film, I'd watched up to that point. I don't know if you looked up any of the names behind it, but had Alec Berg who was one of the producers at the time it had Alec Berg who would go on to produce Barry had scheffau he's a writer. And he did Seinfeld to the last Yeah, well, no, actually three guys from Seinfeld, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. So it had a lot of more adult humor, which you know, for 10 year old Jani was just the bee's knees. first time I'd ever seen that. Of course, my parents didn't know what they were getting into, when they sat off my me and my siblings down to watch it. And they didn't pay attention to it either. So we picked up a lot of more risque jokes that we didn't even understand at the time. There's a great story about that, folks. Another reason this is why this is so nostalgic for me is this is the movie that predicated the sex talk that I received from my father is a very interesting story. You'll hear about it later. As for why I love it, there's just it is a crazy movie, crazy out of its mind it in some places, it doesn't work. It's got amazing production value, at least where production designers is concerned. It's got some just really funny one off lines. Recurring jokes, visual, the visual gags in this movie are also just great. And it's also got this kind of awful storied production history that we will probably also explore. I'm assuming you look some of that up too. Right, Shawn? I looked a little bit of it. Not a ton. Just a Tim won't go that in depth. But just the Tim Allen thing. That's right. So yeah, buckle yourself. So this one's gonna be fun. We're gonna make a lot of cat jokes. We're gonna make a lot of guys have. I just want to stress right now. Whatever, cat whatever Cat in the Hat commentary you've heard before. I can't speak for Jani. But I can say for myself, I have a totally different take on it. So you're gonna be interested to hear well, you're chose this more because I'm interested to hear one. I was amazed that Sean hadn't seen this movie yet. And too, I'm really interested to hear what his take is on it. And just to get started on that, I'll provide my film rating. And I'll just, hey, do you remember what I rated Raiders of the last arc last week? It was like a 6.8. Right? Yeah, I'm gonna give Cat in the Hat a 7.0. In that case, all things considered. Cat in the Hat. 7.0. That's right, folks. I enjoy it more than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Send your hate mail to fk your opinion podcast. Wait, is that the name of the email or the name of the podcast? I don't remember f k your opinion podcast. At gmail@gmail.com forward your hate mail there. I will read it. I won't respond to you. And I won't care either. Because nothing can shake my belief in this movie. Nothing. If you guys need a Jani effigy to burn let me know and how Santi her way. But just Just be sure that we're not trying to sneak out and catch in devins while you're burning it or otherwise, you'll have to replace the effigy with me and then beans from Even Stevens will come at me with a bat and destroy my genitals which were supposed to be removed. But we'll get into that later. Oh, I have other problems with that scene too. Huge continuity. Okay, well, no, no, well, I won't get I'll save it. Talk about it. Okay. All right. I want to ask you before you get into the next section, cuz you brought this up a little bit. What did your parents show you first Cat in the Hat or any listeners if you're a long term, sir, and you know where I'm going to go the return? And which one do you think goes more appropriate for nine year old Jani. It was the return. They showed you the return for more I watched cat the hat and they had more problems. With Cat in the Hat then the return Yeah. Are you fucking kidding me? listeners in case you don't and clay in case you didn't listen to the return episode, it's a really bleak depressing Russian film about a father who comes back from nowhere we don't know but presumably for our prison camp or something and spend some time with his two sons it's really fucking dark it's a great film but then a I don't want without ruining it it gets and the ending is so fucking bleak and sad and I just don't know how you can show a kid that movie and then they come back and say all but I have some problems with Cat in the Hat. I mean, Jesus Christ I don't know. I don't know what to say. Look Look there was not in the return. Did you ever see a six foot tall cat hold a whoa and then call it dirty whoa then drop affer mentioned whoa pause looking very smartly at the camera for that whoa to rise magically back up and call and say dirty whoa, I'm just kidding baby. I love you. And then for foreign music to start up as he Lenten to kiss it. But here's the thing like Ace Ventura has a similar joke sensibility in that way. And I can't remember my parents ever trying to explain that away. I think as a kid you just as a kid, you just don't realize half those jokes. You zone in on the goofy ones, because you're like, oh, he's doing stupid stuff. He's going Oh, yeah. You know? And here's the thing you said earlier, I hadn't seen it. I legitimately do not know if I've seen it before. Oh, I you might have like, like I might have, but I cannot remember. So if I if I did I just blocked it out of my memory as a kid. You know? That's I'm so sorry for you cannot remember. I would not want to be in the position of someone repressing their early childhood memories of Cat in the Hat. I don't repress my early childhood memories of convalescence Cat in the Hat. Anyways, so you're saying before segwaying was we should probably we should probably get started here. Yeah, and folks, what we usually do here is that the the disinterested opposing or disaffected party after we've talked about why the chooser chose it, then has to go and provide a plot summary of the movie or film typically in humorous fashion. Shawn, how would you summarize your 2000 threes? Cat in the Hat, Norse trickster god of mischief, Loki transforms, transforms into a hideous cat like creature and decides on a whim to fuck with some some kids by gaslighting them into thinking they're terrible, and then destroying their perfectly clean house. And then at the end, he teaches them the importance of closing boxes and proceeds to Deus Ex mokena. All the problems away that he himself created. That's my summary. So far off, you know, it's not it's not far off. It's basically the same idea as Charlie and the Chocolate Charlie in the chocolate or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, rather, you know, right. Like they pass the kids pass the test, and then they come out on top, more or less, there was a fail like there is more of a test in that movie than this one. Oh, yeah, definitely. Okay, so here's just a quick little summary. klondyke and Sally are two children of very different dispositions. Spencer Breslin, and young Dakota Fanning are two children of completely different dispositions and a fatherless household. Klondike as Spencer Breslin is frequently called is a troublemaker and Sally Dakota Fanning is uptight. Not not a rule breaker has no fun or had come door. Yeah. catena hack keeps getting his name wrong. And I'm like, Is that supposed to be funny cuz he's just come off as a real fucking jerk. But whatever. I think anyway, funny. Anyways, so Humber flu but Humber flu reality as we all know, Humber flu Realty. As we all know, a big name and the realty business is making their mother have a meet and greet at her home. And so she needs to keep the house nice and clean. Well, she leaves and the kids who are just like, you know, being all sad and having their own little problems suddenly meet the cat in the hat and the Cat in the Hat makes everything magical for about 45 minutes or about half an hour and then some plot needs to happen. So he brings in a crate that he tells clon door not not to open and of course clon door does it because that's just what clone door does. He opens crates. And so they then have to find this magical lock that was on the crate that kalon door removed. They go into town they find it they come back and house is destroyed. The house is put back together and somewhere in the middle of it. JACK Donaghy is crapped out of a tube covered in purple chicken fat the end? Yeah, sure. Yeah, any half of that but whatever. So shall it before we get started I see that we still have this on the on the itinerary. I don't know why it's still there. I don't know if anybody tunes in for it. We're not getting any money for it. We're not inspiring anyone but I guess I have to know what's the yogi green tea quote of the day, Shawn? Yeah, I'm glad you asked Jani the yogi green tea quote of the day is whatever advertisement Can you let me fucking say the goddamn quote to me mee mee mee mee mee mee mee mee is supposed to be a time of like peacefulness. You know what the nice quote, and he always got to ruin it anyways. Hey, what's tomorrow? Shawn? is tomorrow the day before the election? Are we all feeling pretty peaceful? Yeah, this is we're doing this right before the election guys. So it's pretty hostile. Jani and I are on opposite sides of the spectrum. And you know, he's a piece of shit. Anyways, let me say the fucking quote. Whatever you are, you are be proud of it. Your green tea? I don't know. I don't know how you can hate on the cat. When all the cat is doing is just being himself. He's just being his zany, perfect self. And yet you you nettle? No, sorry, you conville you find problems that aren't there with the cat. The cat didn't have any choice. Well, what? Cat? Well, he was the cat then he will be the cat tomorrow. And he is the cat now. Okay, we're gonna get into that later. All right. But while we're talking about the cat, because I want to, I want to get this out of the way because when I alluded to earlier that he's a god. I did a whole deep dive in this morning about trickster Gods because I'm like, he definitely is a trickster. God now I'm not 100% sure he's Loki. But I think he's got to be because Loki is the only trickster God that I can look up and find that can shape shift and well how the God in the Greek Pantheon can too. But not other they're not. I mean, the only other the Greek god the Greek trickster, God is Hermes, does he shapeshift also he has a deck on like, cat. So kind of Yeah, no, he shit like most of them. shapeshift anyways, it can be Hermes, too. But point is mercury. Okay, it can be it's but he's a trickster. God, like you see that right. Okay. Yeah, I guess because, okay, I was watching some videos, I don't want to I want to give you give you guys two quotes. And you got to tell me if anything does not stick out to you. So this is how a trickster god of mischief is defined. The trickster is at once wise and foolish, the perpetrator of tricks and the butt of his own jokes, always male, he is promiscuous and amoral, he is outrageous in his actions. He emphasizes the quote unquote, lower bodily functions, aka his dick. He often takes animal form yet the trickster is profoundly inventive creative by nature, and in some ways, a helper to humanity. I mean, you gotta be fucking kidding me. If you don't think the Cat in the Hat hits all those boxes of a trickster God, okay, so he's a god. There you go. That's and here's not to I'm happy with that. Number two, totally Kent with tricksters are frequently greedy and lazy, dishonest, and gluttonous, vain and impulsive. Thus, they can be seen as agents of chaos, for society provides the greatest advantages to the greatest number only if ever on restrains his or her impulses and cravings, and makes allowances for the needs of others. By the way, the cat's greedy or lazy. He is very active. He, I mean, have you saw the total number of somersaults he could do just jumping on a couch cushion. Could somebody who's inactive do that many somersault? Shawn, look at me in the eyes right now and tell me you could do the number of somersaults that the cat did in the cat in the hat and you don't consider yourself inactive? Do you? theory busted? You got to be kidding me. You. Okay, the second one, I will say is not as onpoint as the first one. But as soon once I realized that I'm like, holy shit, it all kind of works. I mean, he comes from another quote unquote universe. He's, he comes out of nowhere is so real. In a sense, you know, he has all these powers I mean, you gotta be fucking kidding me if you think he's not a God of some sort. In Greek mythology, the gods didn't exist in another universe they existed within yeah by humans. He alludes to another universe, that doesn't necessarily mean it is another universe he could be like, if he's if he's Loki. It's again, not a different universe. It's just a different world. He might not be Loki. I'm just saying it's the only possibility I can think of. But you know what, maybe Dr. Seuss has his own religion and the Cat in the Hat as gods. Yeah. And the cat in the hat is one of the trickster gods and his religion. Oh, the Hoover flew highway is like the, you know, the rainbow road between Valhalla and Earth. Yeah, these are all making sense you're making here? Yeah. Now tell me what about the Lorax? Where does the Lorax fall into all of this? Is voice by wars gotta war? God of War? God. How is Danny DeVito the God of War? I have no idea. I haven't I haven't seen the Lorax I don't think I read that book. So I think it's a horror environmentalist, right. Horton in the Grinch? How about you tell me about Horton in the Grinch. Who is an elephant who hears whose grill is also a Grinch who hears who's who who I mean the Grinch is obviously Satan. You know, his heart grows three times. Satan doesn't have a heart. The Grinch The Grinch saying was once an angel, saying now an angel. That doesn't mean he has a physical heart. The Grinch however, not only does his heart And has he survived by everything he is the heart. But but he's angels don't have heart slay. He does lift a slay that 10 Grinches could not lift on their own. So I will tell you that I think the Grinch is at least a demigod, as he's heard. God, the Grinch has heard like something equivalent. Something equivalent to that. Yeah. One of the one of the signs of a of a major deity. He could be the Cat in the Hat, son. It's possible. I mean, why does the Grinch live alone? Why is he green? He looks a little bit deformed. He's not a Who? We know. He isn't Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas film kind of confirms that. All right, whatever the point is, that kind of hat is a guide. Let's move on to our three likes and dislikes. All right. So listeners, we start off. I'm going to Shawn um, yeah, I'm actually going to go ahead and give all three of my likes and one because they all relate to each other. So first, like is the first 15 minutes, the first 15 minutes, which is obviously pre cat coming in is fucking phenomenal. And if I'd say phenomenal, but okay. I okay, maybe not phenomenal. But I would say it's really freaking great. And made me think oh, man, this is gonna be a really good movie. Dammit. Yani gave me a good movie. And I was gonna he did a good movie. I'll put it this way. I was gonna, I was afraid that I would have to rate this higher than Scooby Doo based off of the first 15 minutes. And then I went, Oh, yeah, no, Scooby Doo is much higher than this movie. And then throughout the movie, the more the more went into it, the more the lower my score got, you know, a cap like dragging himself down. But that first 15 minutes shows a lot of promise and potential. I mean, what really stood out was it had such a great sense of tone and knowing what it was, the writing was very clever and strong. And then my other two points are first, the production design is top notch. It really knows what it is. It looks really beautiful and fantastic and works within the world. So that's my number two point and my Number 3.0 it's again at all it's all its best in that first 15 minutes is every actor besides Mike Myers. So the kids we've we've talked about that. We talked about child actors before Spencer Breslin, and Dakota Fanning are good actors fantastic in this movie. They kick the crap out of the Night of the Hunter kids in terms of performances, you know, they don't got they've got shit on Dakota Fanning don't even don't even Dakota Fanning know Dakota fan. Her timing and delivery is great. And top notch. I mean, incredible. Alec Baldwin in the first 15 minutes was doing his best jack Donaghy before jack Donaghy and it's jack. He's actually suave and he can dunk a basketball so I don't think I don't think Lawrence could do either of those things. Sure, Lawrence later on, which I do have problems with, but we'll talk about that later. But Lawrence, nothing he does makes like any sense. But Lawrence in the first 15 minutes is really Alec Baldwin's performance is him as peak. I mean, he's just really strong. He's doing a really fun. I don't know the word. Kind of like that counterpoint that contrast foil kids foil to the kids. Yeah. So he's doing a good foil to the kids. And he's just really funny. I love the little winks in the first 15 minutes when they wink at each other, and then you have the sound effect and the Wink, and the little, like, flash in their eyes. Everything about that. Also, what's his name? Shawn. Hey, Howard. Now, Sean. Let's forget about Clint Howard. Okay. Anyways, Sean Hayes, his performance is fine. But I love that, you know, in this coronal world that we're living in, he knew what was up he is just like, I am ready for the next pandemic. I'm gonna always wash my hands. I'm not gonna touch anyone else's hands. Everyone has to keep very clean, very sanitary. Yeah, that was one of the notes I made. I said, at least if there's at least if there's a Santa sanitizer shortage, we know who's holding We know, we know, we got to take down Humber flu because he's got to have at least 80 boxes of hand sanitizer. He got hand sanitizer on his belt, you know, like instead of like gun pistols, you know, he's just like, I'm ready to go guys. And, yeah, it sounds like you can mock him in this movie. But you know, who's living in this pandemic world? Shawn Hayes's, and you know, all those other folks are gonna die. You know, the cat. The godlike cat is gonna laugh. Can they all get Corona and die? Corona? No, he's not gonna. He's obviously not gonna tell you what I'm saying. He's gonna laugh as we all die. So his quads not making it out? No, of course not. I'll show you that is like half the age shoe at the time. She was like half the age of the character. Anyways, that actress she's been doing that for a long time. She's been playing grandmas for like, half of her life. She's also on cameo. And if she had more of a role, I would have used her but it's not worth it. Anyways, oh, that was such a she had Mrs. Kwan she had like a good watching like footage of the Taiwanese Parliament I thought that was pretty funny because Taiwan exists in this universe. Yes. I thought that was hilarious cuz I'm like What the I don't remember this Taiwanese Parliament fight and the Cat in the Hat. I don't think yeah, it's not it's taking some real liberties I thought it was Yeah, I thought was a funny and how absurd it was and that she was just like, screw big government or whatever. It's pretty funny. But she was asleep in there out the whole movie. Also, listeners, I was gonna cut that last bit but Jani had to interject as he does. So when I say cameo won't fit in. So there's a service called cameo, where you can essentially hire a celebrity or actor to say something for you, for whatever fee they set and I was going to because he's on it. I was going to ask Spencer Breslin to say some choice words Tijani and he only costs 20 bucks. So I'm like, that's a that's a great situation. Because wisely guess how much Wesley Snipes is charging $500 $500 for Wesley Snipes to say something? You gotta be kidding me. Anyway, it was blade did he needs to pay off his taxes, I'm assuming. Anyways. Spencer Breslin, oh, well, for what for whatever reason, he was taking like a hiatus on cameo so I couldn't hire him. spreadsheet of Rosalyn. If you're listening, and we like to send a fuck you to Yani. That's why he's gonna hire you and I'll send you the 25 bucks. Oh, I had an extra five. Oh, no, I feel like you're just patronized again. Don't patronize Spencer Breslin. No, but that's it. That's how much he was charging. He's a nice boy. Now I I'm Spencer. I'm not trying to pray patronize you. It's that's how much you were charging and I will add I'm but here's the thing I can understand why you might not want to say fuck you to somebody in this recording. Because I had I assumed that I would have to like, adjust my wording and I couldn't just give a straight Fuck you. But I will give you an extra five for that or actually Whatever I don't care, but here's the thing like this all just feel so patronizing to me, but that's the truck. That's the price he said. That's right. If I were in your position, I would sue this man. This man, that's the price you set. Okay, Spencer, if you wanted to make it 30 you want to make it 40 I'd go as high as $50 for this Okay, now some Miss Kwan. I want to say it was either 40 or 60. I'd be willing to do that. If she had more lines in the fucking movie instead of sleeping the whole goddamn time. There was the I mean, Dakota Fanning's not on it, but if Dakota Fanning is charging, like $200 I'm gonna be like, no, you're not worth it. I mean, here's the thing. There's, the actors get to choose how much they want to charge. So, if you're gonna charge a lot of money, I'm sorry, but like wisely. I think you're a great actor. I'm not fucking spending $500 on you. You're not worth it. I don't know what to say like that. Well, that's me being rude. Wesley is the one who says something what you're paying and $500 to say something. I don't know why you'd be okay. Anything. You know you here's what I'll say to you was the Snipes for charging $500 on cameo. Something motherfuckers always got to try an ice skate uphill. Is that I'm sorry. Is that from some Wesley Snipes. That's, that's a that's from blade. That's his iconic glide from blade, which you haven't seen. No joke is last done, you will never see them. God, well always listen, that's what I really enjoy a allusion to blade. Let's talk about some of the things I love. We'll just like go right through this. This is a short movie. I think it's like, what, 82 minutes with credit. So we don't need to linger on this one too much. First thing I love this story just doesn't give a single fuck about you. doesn't care about Shawn. It doesn't care about me. It doesn't care about the viewers. It's just trying to do its own thing. And it knows exactly what it is. And I love it for it. JOHN says that the first 15 minutes are the best I don't agree. Personally, I like that this is kind of just a string of Mike Myers sketches, Mike Myers, like dressed up in a cat suit sketches for about 70% of the runtime. I don't have a problem with that. This is like my shut my brain off movie more or less. And as soon as you shut everything off, and you give into it, you feel this like warmth start to flow over you and your mind suddenly like disappears into its own its own movements and its own workings. And the next thing you know the credits are rolling to that Smash Mouth song and 80 minutes have passed. Now and I like that I don't mind it at all. Following up on our it has no message. It's not trying to say anything, really at all. Nothing substantial. Nothing that you walk out of the theater thinking about. It's just a bunch of funny one liners. Granted, there's plenty of humor in this movie that does not land and does not work. And I'll talk about that and my least favorites. But for me, a lot of it does a lot of it's just stupid, inoffensive humor for the most part, and I'll probably watch it with my own children someday. Yeah. Maybe without Mona Mona is not crazy about it. But oh, watch it. Yeah, Mona should not be crazy about what I actually made a list of like, some of my other favorite kids movies, kids movies that I think are better and have a better message and are just funnier chin go all the way. This isn't a kid's movie though. I also need to state I don't think this is a kid's movie. I don't think it was made for children. There's a lot of humor in there. That just flies right over kid's head. There's a lot of like, like Scooby Doo, which is far better. goobie dude definitely made for children. No, I disagree wholeheartedly on that Scooby Doo. That is a kid mousehunt jumaane. Hey, all those movies are better kids movies. Jumanji? is a better kid's movie. Jumanji is fantastic. With that one. It's a fantastic movie, especially for children. It has a great message and but I what I was gonna say earlier was going off of what we said a couple episodes ago with a double feature. So if we did a double feature with this first and then come and see right after how horrifying would that be? I don't know if you could walk out of that a sane person. You'd be like, well, I it's like interesting. I think you'd give up on a cinema. The interesting exercise I fake is like, or the observation I make is people walking out of the screening asking themselves what the parallels between the two viewings were supposed to be and if there were any at all. And it's it's that insanity. I think that ensues. Yeah. When you attempt to play when you attempt to equate to vastly different things. And it's like, what's more upon suggestion? Yeah. And what's more horrifying cinematically Because let's be honest, that kind of had makeup as the stuff of nightmares actually fun fact about the Cat in the Hat makeup Originally, it was going to be VFX or not VFX special effects guru, Ken Baker if you you know who that is right. I've heard of him. It was going to be him but I think they just didn't have the budget for him. So instead of bringing Ken Baker in what production did was Hold on, just now so you're not Oh, yeah, okay, hold on. So what production did instead of bringing Ken Baker on is they bio genetically they bio genetically engineered six foot tall cats to skin add. So Mike Myers head to daily and then they actually because of that they were actually able to complete production under schedule. And so the remaining cats they just doused with Nair and then sent to Arizona, where they've been living ever since. Fun fact. 100% true, you can verify it yourself. But I think the most mind boggling part of that story is the fact that they said we don't have it in the budget to pay for the Cat in the Hat. What do you think would be number one line item on the budget? Because it's the it's the most important thing I can't I what fucking moron because I just don't know. I don't know if we should spend money to make the cat look good. I don't know if we need the cat to look at. Okay, realistically, the cat did have the cat suit did actually have like actual angora hair. But the other thing is, it was angora supplemented with like human hair, too. But so all the hairs on that cat's suit are real. They're just not all necessarily cat. But the thing is like, why is that what you skimp on? If you really had to save money? You could say you know what, some of this production design we don't necessarily need. We don't necessarily need this whole fucking note that entire neighborhood. We don't need this hell party with Paris Hilton. We can maybe save some money in the budget on that. That's how they go to. They go to hell. JACK Donaghy follows them into hell with the phone booth. No, he doesn't go jack Donaghy doesn't go to hell. It's because he doesn't follow them into it. He follow? I thought he does follow them in Yeah, no, he does. I can't remember jack Donaghy fall even though this movie's at two minutes. I've mostly forgotten it. But anyways, they do go to hell. That's them going down into how and then Paris Hilton is there. And how just saying I think that's a little bit. That's okay, fair. God. I'm not saying I don't have any ill will towards Paris Hilton. What I'm just saying is they literally go down a Paul, and how does down down, you know, down. And so I just want to echo Sean's sentiments about production design. It is a design that is obviously influenced by Dr. Seuss's whimsical world has drawn really that's what they were going Yeah, right. No idea. Oh, yeah. No, well, thing. I mean, the the production design in this film, I think was more true. If anything was true to Dr. Seuss. His work which by the way, his his wife, his widow was just like appalled by what they did, and like put the X on any further live action productions of his works, but I think it's truer the production design in this movie is truer to his visual style than any of the animated films that followed it. I don't I honestly don't think I've watched any of the animated films. It's what it's Lorax Horton Hears a Who and then that new Grinch atrocity, starring bender doing bunker garb? Yeah, I'm sorry. You can't play under god bless Jim Carrey. No, thank you. I don't Yeah, well, no. How about Boris Karloff, you can't replace bores because it was a 30 minute TV special that was released. Like what back in the 60s? That was all you needed to cover the entirety of Dr. Seuss story. It was just a 30 minute TV special. But then 2000 rolls around and we think Oh no, we need to our plus movie to tell this children's books story. And then we also need another 90 minute program to do that. 19 years later, 18 years later, whatever it is. What was the kind of fanning in that one to know that was another little girl she grew up to be like a metal singer or something. I don't remember her name. But you know who I'm talking? It wasn't Dakota Fanning now. So production design. Great. Last thing that I really love about this is just you know, it's all the it's all the dumb humor. It's all the cat puns. It's all the nonsensical devices that are designed in red and white. And like I said before, the fact that the whole plot is just built around Mike Myers sketches I mean, I know the screenplay is nothing to write home about, but There's this one section. There's this like one scene, for instance, where Mike Myers dressed up as the cat dressed up as a hippie is trying to code that the dog Nevins from jack Donaghy, and so he asks jack Donaghy, if he can sign his petition to save the something something's in zizza brew, and he asks him to sign it using a largely oversized pen that requires two hands and on affer mentioned largely a large oversized pen that requires two hands is the name large oversized pen that requires two hands and, and the trick works he gets up Nevins the dog and wins the day. So I quite humorous I just need to say you saying that out? Why are you saying that the cat Shut up. Right now that has the cat plays a piano that says Casio on I need you to shut up right now. Shut your fucking mouth. It's so funny. Like I was saying earlier. I don't even realize this until Jani just said this. Again doing my trickster research this morning. That's what a lot of trickster Gods will do. They'll be like, and this is an other size pens that apology is to Can you shut your mouth. what they'll do is say hey, can you hold this thing for me? Hey, can you do this thing for me? Like oh, like there was this one? I forgot. It's an African trickster. God I can't remember it was name is basically a spider. And long story short, he's forced to hold a box on his head for for all eternity. And he tricks and ant is like, hey, ant, can you hold this box for me for real quick? And he's like, Sure, yeah, I can hold it. And then and he gets saddled with it and as the whole it for all eternity. There's another one with Hercules where him and Atlas trade off he holds in the world. So it's just like, no, Hercules isn't a trickster. I know. I know. But they are bringing that in the video is watching. They're bringing that up as an example. And this is like, Oh, yeah, this happens all the time. Again, cat trickster God, I don't know which one maybe he's his own God. Who knows? Anyways, he's my God. I know that I feel bad. I apologize. I'm sorry. Yeah, well, just when he thought it was Greek Orthodox, he's really see so orthodox. Alright, before we get into our dislikes, I just want to pee real quick, if that's okay with dislikes as if we have any dislikes. I also have the rest hotting after fucking moron Can you see how the toilet All right. Can you stop? I'm not doing my chips yet. love helping new chips. Don't eat a fucking nother one. Dogs once. I'm done. All right. You can just cut those out. I know I can. It's yours. Hey, I want to get into this God. Okay, so Shawn, what do you possibly dislike about this movie? It's so good. What What do I dislike about this movie Yani? Do you have the structure outline up right now? Yeah. Can you read all my display aspects section number one under the sub section. Sean. Sorry, I'm licking the jalapeno dust off my palm. Number one is Mike Myers. And number two is Mike Myers. And number three is Mike Myers. All of them are Mike Myers. Mike Mike Myers literally ruins his movie like he takes what could have been a fun and solid movie and just like, shits all over, he takes any potential and just like throws it in the garbage. Now, to the characters credit. There are three times where I find the cat funny. I found him funny. In his very first scene when he's teleporting with the kids. Again, this cat can teleport. We established that what? Because there's a one shot where he's back in the bed right underneath the bed with the kids. And then as they're getting out in the same shot, he's behind them. So he can teleport, which jumping ahead real quick. Doesn't make sense when at that party when he's trying to hide. And he's like, how do I how do I hide where I hide? Buddy? You can teleport to hide anywhere we know this. Why don't you just establish that okay, but if he possesses the knowledge and wisdom of a god, do you think he would stay there? If he didn't think that there was some greater end it would achieve, to use your logic that he is a deity and therefore above the rest of humanity. Okay, well, let's, let's, let's be honest, just because you're a D doesn't make you intelligent. Uh, well, it does mean that you have they're very, very superficial. How is one of these again, he's one of these superficial guys that just goes on a whim and does shit, you know? Anyways, so I like that scene best because when they're underneath the bed, and he's like, you just gonna run away and scream again, aren't you? I like that joke, because it's very self aware. I like the kitchen scene joke. Like that skit, when he was cupcake. inator I didn't like that part. I just liked him arguing with himself. I thought that was funny. Oh, but you don't like I don't like him going over the contract with the two when his lawyer was okay, where that was. Okay, that's so hokey. I love it. so dope. I mean, I liked the litigiousness I liked how murder hungry he was. Because he was just constantly like, let's murder to the sky. Let's murder this. Because you think, oh, he's just really hates dogs. He wants to murder that dog. But then you think about He's like, he's constantly bringing up killing something constantly. So you know, again, God killing things. But those are the only times that I found him funny. So I tell like one out of every nine jokes works is constantly spitballing thrown jokes. And it's just so annoying and tedious. They so rarely work and they're either groan, inducing, or just like they just derail the film. I mean, I hate his sense of humor is very obnoxious and annoying. And I wished that they cast somebody else in the role. You didn't even need to change any of the dialogue. Really, I mean, granted, I'm sure he improvised a lot of his cat dialogue. But I was thinking like, man, I really would have liked you know, at the time, like a welfare or to have done this role, or that I'm really anybody else. Honestly, Mike Myers and Adam Sandler over six feet. That's a good point. A tall a much taller cat would have been a funnel and the cats a leaner guy too. But anyways, honestly, Mike Myers and Adam Sandler are to my least favorite comedians. So the hemby at Mike Myers on crack is just really annoying, and I hated it. I did. Dana Carvey, well, how would you like Dana Carvey, we all know how much you like that SNL sketch, mildly effeminate, heterosexual. No, I didn't like that. So it's not only offensive, but it's just lazy or a bit a sketch. I've only seen the one that you sent me the first one that you sent me. I didn't bother with it. Because I'm like, I'm done with this shit. You know, who would have been really interesting Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase would have been interesting. Bill Murray would be perfect. No, I mean, yeah. Bill Murray. Bill Murray. Bill Murray is the most overrated comedic actor out there. He's just got the excuse me of why it's he's got this cult of support that just encapsulates him. But it's totally honor and he's just like, let I need to. He's like Will Ferrell. at best. He's just kind of like Will Ferrell. I need to hold that I need to set this for the record. You think Mike Myers is funnier than Bill Murray. Yes. See how I didn't even hesitate? I think I think yes, all the Austin Powers films are funnier are more humorous than Bill Murray's entire work entire body of chi. I think Bill Murray is a good actor, and in his serious roles. I think that he's very convincing. But in his like, he's not even I don't even find him funny in Ghostbusters. I know. It's not like a nice movie in the world, but he's supposed to be the funny one. And I laugh when he's on screen. I think Ghostbusters is a bit overrated. That being said, I think Bill Murray as an actor, even though his movies now might not always be the greatest. His sardonic wit is just always so strong. And he's just like Jeff Goldblum to me. He always plays that he just always plays a Bill Murray type that's sure always the same sure me he's not he's not always changing, but I would still find him a better cat than I mean, listen. I let me let me look at my notes. I wrote somebody else to fuck me in the Garfield movies because Bill Murray haven't. I haven't seen the Garfield movie so I don't know Tale of Two Kitties and the original. You know what I said? He's not a better cow. Okay, tell me tell me this is not a great idea. I think Alec Baldwin should have played the cat and still played Larry. And then I do monchi so it listeners if you seen Jumanji as an adult and remember, Robin Williams, his dad's plays also the hunter. So yeah, if you get that dual thing going on kind of kind of I guess that actually would have been interesting. You're not the parallel you're making isn't entirely there but I would be down for it is what i'm saying i would be down to see jack Donaghy. Alec Baldwin is also a much better, he would have been much funnier. Speaking of actors who are also funnier than Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin so much so I argue that I really like Alec Baldwin. But I think Bill Murray is a better actor, but when it comes down to comedic acting, I just don't find him that funny. There's a great interview with Tim Heidecker, talking about the cult of Bill Murray that you should go out and listen to listeners does a great job of explaining it. Listen, I'm not subscribed to Bill Murray for life. I don't seek out his films to be honest with you. I just enjoy him when I watch him and stuff. Okay, I'm not trying to be like, Oh, yeah, I think Bill Murray is my God. And then so Bill Murray is God and kind of high as the trickster God. So Bell Bill Murray is like Zeus county hat is like Hermes, and then and then what Hermes is Zeus is son. So are you saying that really? Well, actually, because it's SNL. That's, that's that is kind of there is some congruency there says you have both SNL actors. And Bill Murray was in the wave that kind of directly preceded Mike Myers wave in the mid 80s. Yeah, you know, you make a sound sounds good stick to it. Is does that mean the cast of SNL are just the Greek gods? No, that means the current cast of SNL is they're like all the half they're all the like, the the half humans watch us and now reach. No, I don't anymore, but I was watching SNL literally right before I watched it right before I came on today. Last last episode, whenever I do see a sketch. I like stripes on it. It's just math is funny. It's math. It's okay. It depends. Anyways, fuck Mike Myers. I hate him so much cheeseburger. Okay. There are some things I don't like about this one too, and I'll just go through them real quick, because I don't have that much to say about them again. I like this one. But the more sophomore Kuma in general. Whenever I'm watching anything I'd never laugh when I hear also I would have preferred Mark shore match allowance I would have preferred Martin Short as the cat just said I want to refer Martin Short in his early grave Wow. Well Martin Short between this and the three feet anyway episode I hope you really hate Jani. Fk your opinion. For Jani effigy. Tim burn crazy about backsides. not crazy about goo none of that stuff is ever funny to me. So when what my least favorite scene in the whole thing is when the cat turns into a plumber, I guess or a I don't know, some sort of like blue collar worker. And he bends over and you can see this fake butt crack hanging out from underneath his tail. It's just not funny to me at all. All the goo in the end, Alec Baldwin, like I said being crapped out of that thin pipe covered in this purple goo which by the way, was just like liquefied chicken fat dyed purple. It's just like gross. To me. There's I don't know exactly what the point of it is in terms of humor. As that was happening at that point in his career, we said I have to do something else. You're talking about the 30 rock? Yeah, yeah. That's that's maybe my favorite moment in 30. Rock, by the way, when jagadesh one, the moment when Tracy is becoming a movie star. And he's like, No, I don't want to be a movie star. And then I think it's what I was at the end of the fifth or sixth season and he goes on the roof. JACK Donaghy follows him and gives us whole rant about how he can ruin his career. And like essentially, like go on TV and all this stuff. And Alec Baldwin as jack Donaghy just basically lines out Alec Baldwin's own career as like a path towards fail here, and it's Larry. Alright, speaking of jack Donaghy, nothing he does at this movie makes any sense. I mean, in the very beginning, you have like these semblances of a plot that he's devising to get Condor to be sent off to military school so he can move into the house and boink who Commodores mother on a more regular basis, I guess, or maybe just ameliorate some of the debt that he's accrued, which by the way, I think jack Donaghy Lawrence, I should say at this point, I think Lawrence is essentially just this satire of the average American in the early 2000s. overweight and drowning under copious amounts of debt, which clearly is, which didn't work after that point after they established the whole military school thing that's like the only part of his dialogue or not the only part of it, but it's like the only thing that he can focus on. And it also comprises, I think, like 80% of his dialogue. So I feel like I wish if I were to make any adjustments, I wish Lawrence's character Alec Baldwin's character had been a little more fleshed out. Because basically, he's out of the movie for 45 minutes, he comes back, for some reason, he comes over to the kid's house to just like steal beer while they're in his stomach with his stomach. Yeah, he was super fleshed out that way. But he comes back to the house to grab beer while the kids are still there. As if the kids wouldn't like tell their mom about this. And then he's gone for another 20 minutes. And the dog runs away and he tries to get the dog and when he can't get the dog, he runs to Joan who was called into her office and tells her she has to come home so he can again catch calm, like candle or Donald. I don't know, where is it getting shipped off to military school, there's just nothing there. There's no depth to his character. I wish there could have been more. And the last thing that just kind of, it's more of like a little thing to talk about, too. Can I talk about that too? Oh my gosh, talk about it. Let's hear it. I didn't necessarily need more depth. I just think that his setup as the more militaristic foil than to be like, Oh, he's a fat loser who's in debt is such a stark contrast. That doesn't really work. And it's just ultimately like, what was his plan? It doesn't really make any sense. It's kind of just stupid. Well, he doesn't have a plan. He's just trying to he's trying to insinuate himself in the home. Yeah, but it just it doesn't work. It's like they they had two different ideas for the character. I couldn't choose which one to go with. And did both. And that was kind of annoying. I also really loved his purple suit. Want to know where I can get one of those? Also, his purple beeper? Did he get it from Dennis stuffy, his diet stuffy and this universe can probably get it somewhere in Queens, I imagine. Last thing I just like. So there are so many people out and about while the cat is running around with these two young children and yet nobody nobody pays any attention to or points out the giant six foot tall cat running around as if he's invisible. And I would have been interested to see how the world reacts to seeing this other worldly possibly deific creature walking amongst them. But we also don't i don't know why we also don't know their religion. What if he actually is a God in their religion? Think about that. Oh, I think maybe he was just maybe he was just putting like clouds around all their minds as he walked by them not observe him. He could have doing that. He got up and he has a box with a crab lock on it. This man is his power is limitless. He has a box with the crab lock on it that you can just kind of like prick. And then the lock will be like oh I I'm pick you know you didn't have to put and again because sentiment lock. I'm a sentiment lock. I don't like it when things are jabbed into my back. And you can put pretty much anything in there fill me with cream cheese all open up. It doesn't matter kind of a pointless kind of a pointless lock. It's as if it it was designed to fail. Because it was because again, that was the cat's plan. He orchestrated the whole thing from the very getgo. Yep. Yep. Except for getting his tail cut off. That was the one thing he didn't plan for. Or did he? He's brilliant. Or maybe he did. Okay. Do you want to continue your point? Or I have something else I want to bring up. I have nothing. I have very little else. I'll make a couple of jokes at the end and then we can wrap this bad boy up. Other thing I wanted to say, oh, okay, a couple things. When Alec Baldwin covered and his purple chicken fat goo proposed to their mother, you know, I want to know is that how you proposed No, you'll hear you'll hear the proposal stories Sunday. It's actually very sweet. Yeah, I kind of doubt that. Second of all, going along with my god theory. thing one and thing two. I know that cats creepy thing one and thing to scare the living shit out of me. I mean, especially at the very end, when they're just all hyper and everything. It's just like, these are the things of nightmares. They will like go into your bedroom and like claw your heart out and rip your throat and eat a feast on you kind of shit. So what I'm wondering, deathmatch thing one and thing two, versus this thing and john Carpenter's the thing. Who would win? A Well, it depends who do they do they go on to fight. Freddie ducks afterwards. Can you say that again? Do they go on to fight Freddie ducks in the next round? Were they fighting in round two? That's what I that's what I really want to know. And how tight will john Claude Van Damme pants be? If he's wearing any? Again? This is all your fantasies. Oh, no. And round two, they're fighting the idea of communism. Oh, that's just something you can't fight though. Yeah. Okay, sure. They're there. They're there. They're fighting Frank Dukes. Sure. Okay. In that case, I'm putting my money on third one. Okay, now when the thing the thing obviously has to take over thing one or thing two. Does the other thing realize that the thing turned into the other thing? The thing might realize the other thing turned into the thing but the thing about that is I don't have anywhere for this joke to go I just wanted to say things four times because that's that's how I walked in the door and I didn't have a plan. I'm sorry, folks. Okay, let's say the thing is thing three, right. So thing one is possessed by thing three, and think three because thing one and then thing two is like well thing one was all high and mighty about highest thing one and how thing one is better. But now thing one is dead and because we're crazy creatures we know when the other ones off right away. So thing too is like I know thing one is no longer thing one is actually the thing thing three, I'm just gonna let this slide but then when thing three aka john Carpenter's the thing tries to kill thing to thing to goes fuck that and just murders that because it can cause maybe throws in the box or something and then kills it with purple goo. Who knows? You know, the only thing I'm wondering for thought with that in mind is where exactly the cat's genitals are located. Because we know in the very beginning when the cat first sees Joan, his hat stiffens as it's become erect, which leads you to believe that there might possibly be a penis on top of the cat's head, but he takes off, but he takes the hat off, maybe the hair is hiding it. Maybe it's like hiding in the ears. Maybe it's I don't know exactly. We don't see it. We also know we also it's not established that it's not there. So it's one of those unknown unknowns. However, let me finish later on when they're signing the contract. However, there's a certificate forgotten in there that indicates that he has been spayed and neutered. Yeah, so that tells you that he doesn't actually have at least Well, some of his reproductive genitalia. But then he's hit in the groin later, and it hurts him so much that he shocked screaming into a fantastical reverie of being a young country girl swinging on a swing, complete with a white horse grazing in the background, which leads me to believe that possibly his gonads might have regrown. So here's my theory. Here is my theory he had he was neutered, but his gonads somehow grew back. However, his penis was never located in the groin, but is instead kind of like a narwhals tooth on the top of his head that retracts into his body. I Well, now I'm just wondering how reproduction works for that. But then again, he is a deity so he can probably just like sprinkle. Yeah, like golden light on somebody and impregnate them that way. Exactly. Now, this is a lot of food for thought. Yeah, this is this movie's got layers. There's a couple. There's a couple things I want to say with that. So you were saying he doesn't have any gonads and still feels pain. Ironically, I watched she's the man right after this with Amanda Bynes where she pretends to be a man. And in that film, she as a soccer player, another soccer player hits the soccer ball into her groin region. Now being a girl, she doesn't feel any pain, but all the guys like, Oh my god, That must hurt. And she's like, Oh, yeah, I gotta react to this. And it's like, ah, I hurt the burns. Very funny scene. ironic that those are in it. Keep going. Anyways, second bit. So going off of what you said earlier where his penis is in his head. But he takes off his hat. So he know it's not there. That I said it's retract. I know, I know. But what I'm saying is, does that mean like flaccid, it's like an inch and then racked. It's like several feet long. It's more like it's Yeah, it's kind of like a balloon, you know, it's got that sort of elasticity. It's it's very small. In fact, it might even look like a vestigial structure when it is flatted but when it's erect, it can grow to like, I think his hat is maybe about a foot and a half, two feet tall. So yeah, about that leg. That's what that is. That's my final postulation. I'm saying that you heard it here. First, folks. regrown gonads penis on the top of his head. Good day, sir. I don't know how jack Donaghy can compete with that, to be quite honest with you. Yeah, no, I think Joan would be a lucky woman to lay on. Like the cat. Does that mean does that mean? So if they have penises on the head, does that mean that the cat can both fucker and eat her out at the same time? God does it big because it has to please cut this. This is this. This is like, mine needs to get caught. That's the line. You cross the line right there. That is I'm not going any further with that. That's just gross to think about. But you laugh and it's funny. It's funny, but oh. Because now I'm visualizing it. Yeah, you have to visualize it. Oh, God, my eyes. Okay, what are your final thoughts? Let's just wrap this up. I have to go wash my eyes out. Yeah, well, my final thoughts are I also had to wash my eyes out after watching this movie. Like I said, First 15 minutes really good. And then Mike Meyers comes in and just throws that in the trash like 2020 sets on fire. The big old dumpster fire for the rest of the movie didn't care for it squanders all the potential I'd had. Yeah, originally, I was gonna I was thinking about giving this movie a 7.5. And being like, I so contextually, that's still higher than come and see, which I know what annoy Jani by that was within the first 15 minutes and then I'm like, Oh, god, this is movies. Not that good. Let me give it a 6.9 which is what it deserves. Because of all the dick jokes, then I was like, Oh, this movies doesn't deserve a 6.9 so I'm just gonna say it's a 5.8 I don't know. somewhere around there. Hey, you know what? Okay, so you're locking that in? 5.8? Yeah, sure. That is remarkably higher than it is rated pretty much anywhere else. So you know what? I'll accept it. That's fine. My rating still is 7.0 Yeah, I still think it's better it's a more enjoyable experience than Raiders. I want it so fuckin wrong. I just want to be fair with like the 5.8 it's listen it's not a great movie. I think it's I think it's fascinating that there can be so many theories I mean that part of why I give it a little bit higher is that trickster God theory I have this is honestly on my own. But also there are I mean, like Alec Berg does bring some good funny jokes sprinkled throughout this atrocity. But it says like Jani has shown me so many worse movies that even for me to like one thing about this movie inherently puts it above say a Cold War, which again, is God fuck off off yourself. Hey, call No Okay, quiet. And this and this diatribe and just tell me what we're watching next. All right, Jani. Well, I said to myself, because I'm watching The Bachelorette. I feel like I want a low ROM I want low calm so you got plenty of calm this we watch currency. I I looked up some ROM coms that were streaming. Now I really wanted to close. I wanted to clueless so bad. It's on my list, but it's not streaming right now. So I'm kind of pissed about that. And then I went through the list. I'm torn between a couple movies right now. So we got in contention. lala land. Oh, we got Magic Mike with chess got added to the streaming. Oh, but the film I'm going to choose is Notting Hill. Okay. All right. I I've never seen it before. So we'll guess we're watching Notting Hill. Do you want me to choose one of the others instead? No, no, no, no, no. No. Notting Hill. We're going with Notting Hill. You already said it.
