Boy, lots going on in our world

these days doing podcasts.

20

Yeah.

21

:

We got pod hums.

22

:

We've got the POIs watching old movies.

23

:

Jamie's moving.

24

:

Mm-hmm.

25

:

Jamie Fenderson: Like, middle

26

:

aged life changes and

27

:

stuff.

28

:

It's

29

:

Milo: Yeah.

30

:

Yeah, I might.

31

:

Katie: Oh, that's

32

:

Milo: Yeah.

33

:

Katie: right?

34

:

Jamie Fenderson: now I'm truly middle

aged 'cause I had my first colonoscopy, so

35

:

I'm good to, I'm in the

36

:

club.

37

:

Milo: Mm-hmm.

38

:

Katie: I'm lucky enough to not

have joined that club yet, But not

39

:

Milo: But the,

40

:

Katie: probably

41

:

Milo: and on the plus side, they found

everything they were looking for in there.

42

:

They got it all out, all

the toys, all the wick.

43

:

They found him.

44

:

He was alive and well.

45

:

So, all good up there.

46

:

Jamie Fenderson: fella.

47

:

Finally found him.

48

:

Katie: Milo, I see you have your

eighties and nineties uncensored mug.

49

:

Milo: Yeah, of course.

50

:

Katie: I love

51

:

Milo: When joining a podcast.

52

:

Katie: Tell us more about pod rums.

53

:

What's the scoop?

54

:

Tell, tell the listeners about it,

55

:

Milo: jb, it's your baby.

56

:

Jamie Fenderson: So we started pod chums

as just a way to connect with other

57

:

podcasters, kind of a podcast guild that

you're a founding member of, by the way.

58

:

Katie: Mm-hmm.

59

:

Jamie Fenderson: just a place where

we can go, maybe find collaboration

60

:

opportunities, maybe share some

insider information about podcasting.

61

:

And we, we just got a whole

influx of new members that.

62

:

we have to introduce you to.

63

:

Katie: That.

64

:

Jamie Fenderson: was just kind of

like just us for a little while,

65

:

but now with the policy awards,

we've invited some others, so we're

66

:

gonna have to have a, like a little.

67

:

Intro to all the new members.

68

:

But it's fun because, you know, you,

you have the big podcasts and they're

69

:

part of big networks and little podcasts

like us, we don't get that, right?

70

:

we kind of made one and it's, it's,

it's, it's just our own literal

71

:

kind of, it's a network, right?

72

:

But a network in that we can all kind

of like, collaborate together and share

73

:

Maybe guest cosst have a cross-promotional

marketing opportunities, whatever.

74

:

So I I think it's fun.

75

:

I think us little podcasters

deserve a community for ourselves,

76

:

you know what I'm saying?

77

:

We don't have to, we don't have to be the

big guys to have our own thing going on.

78

:

Katie: Agreed.

79

:

I love it.

80

:

You meet great people and

there's a pod chums like podcast.

81

:

There's a

82

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

83

:

Katie: goes along with it, so that's

84

:

fun.

85

:

Especially if you're a podcaster.

86

:

And you know, speaking of

networks, I also wanted to remind.

87

:

Retro made listeners that if you like to

dive into the films of specific directors,

88

:

this season of Retro Made is actually on

the network, the director's chair, because

89

:

I'm covering John Hughes this season.

90

:

So if you like that kind of stuff.

91

:

They have Mann this season.

92

:

There's Brian De Palma, ed Swick.

93

:

I feel like I'm forgetting someone.

94

:

So head on over to the director's

chair for other fun Goodness.

95

:

Milo: Awesome.

96

:

Katie: Okay.

97

:

further ado, you guys, there's a new

spin on the time capsule this season,

98

:

Jamie Fenderson: I see what you did there.

Milo: All right.

118

:

Katie: Commercial countdown.

119

:

Milo: right.

120

:

Katie: In a 1984 ad campaign targeting

kids and tweens, this fruit drink

121

:

brand featured an animated picture

mascot who burst through the walls,

122

:

ex exclaiming, his famous line,

123

:

Milo: Oh, we need to say

the line, not the brand.

124

:

Okay.

125

:

Yeah.

126

:

Kool-Aid.

127

:

Katie: and, and what was the brand?

128

:

Milo: Kool-Aid on that one.

129

:

Yeah, we know that.

130

:

Katie: Kool-Aid man.

131

:

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

132

:

Jamie Fenderson: And I like how

all the kids were always like,

133

:

Oh, ko, it's the Kool-Aid, man.

134

:

We're in real life.

135

:

He'd be terrified.

136

:

This giant Kool-Aid pitcher just busted

137

:

the brick wall of you.

138

:

He's like,

139

:

140

:

141

:

You're

142

:

Milo: Oh, yeah.

143

:

Right away.

144

:

Mm-hmm.

145

:

You could do a lot with it.

146

:

You drink the Kool-Aid as is.

147

:

You freeze it in your ice cube trays

and make little Kool-Aid pops out of it.

148

:

Katie: You

149

:

Milo: Uh.

150

:

Katie: To

151

All kinds of stuff you

could do with Kool-Aid.

Jamie Fenderson: it to clean up

155

:

metal.

156

:

So

157

:

Milo: Kool-Aid.

158

:

Katie: like that?

159

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah, if you,

if you concentrate it, there's an

160

:

acid and you can clean stuff

161

:

with

162

:

it.

163

:

Katie: Oh,

164

:

Milo: Oh

165

:

Katie: horrifying.

166

:

Milo: yeah.

167

Katie: consume

168

:

Milo: we'd drink it.

169

:

Katie: Uhhuh.

170

:

171

:

In 1984, this athletic shoe company

aired high energy TV spot featuring

172

:

the slogan just for the fun of it.

173

:

it.

174

:

Was promoting aerobics

in inspired sneakers.

175

:

And this was shortly before this company's

market dominance was eclipsed by Nike.

176

:

brand Was it

177

:

Jamie Fenderson: Adidas,

178

:

Milo: Oh yeah, I was thinking Reebok,

but it could be Adidas as well.

:

Katie: Miley.

182

:

201

:

You guys are doing pretty good.

202

:

Fad, flashback.

203

:

This particular type of dance exploded in

popularity thanks to certain films that

204

:

I won't say because it'll give it away.

205

:

But they were released in 1984.

206

:

It began as urban street culture, And

then it hit the national stage Spawning

207

:

competitions and TV appearances.

208

:

What was it?

209

:

Milo: And recently in this

year's Olympics in France.

210

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

211

:

Milo: Yeah.

212

:

213

215

:

Milo: Yeah.

216

:

Katie: and done.

217

:

One and done though.

218

:

219

:

You guys

220

:

Jamie Fenderson: breaking.

221

:

Milo: dancing.

222

:

Katie: break

223

:

224

:

Milo: Or breaking.

225

:

Jamie Fenderson: Breakin came

226

:

Milo: Mm-hmm.

227

:

Yep.

228

:

Jamie Fenderson: in 1984.

229

:

Katie: that was the movie

that I didn't want to name

230

:

Jamie Fenderson: yeah,

231

:

that's the movie.

232

:

Katie: it, yeah.

233

:

yeah,

234

:

Milo: Yeah.

235

:

Jamie Fenderson: And then, Yeah.

236

:

breakin.

237

:

That was pre big.

238

:

That was like, that was just

ahead of the movie we're talking

239

:

about in in the box office.

240

:

Yeah.

241

:

Milo: Oh, good.

242

:

We're doing all right, Jamie.

243

:

It'd be embarrassing if we do a

podcast about the eighties and

244

:

couldn't answer any questions about it.

245

:

Jamie Fenderson: podcast is like

four and a half years old and we,

246

:

and we, we didn't know anything.

247

:

That'd be embarrassing.

248

:

Katie: Let's do another one, so you

guys already won break dancing as

249

:

Milo: Yay.

250

:

Katie: VHS vault.

251

:

These are always fun.

252

:

So VHS Vault is rentals that were big.

253

:

Like you went to Blockbuster, like

what were the top, we'll say six.

254

:

Because two of the movies

that were in the top.

255

:

VHS rentals at the time covered

last season on my ultimate everyman.

256

:

So keep

257

:

Milo: Hmm.

258

:

Katie: in mind.

259

:

Milo: That's a hint.

260

:

Katie: why there, I'm

doing six instead of five.

261

:

Do we have any guesses

before I start with clues?

262

:

Milo: Okay.

263

:

Well, it's gotta be stuff that came

out, like around that timeframe.

264

:

VHS uh, when Roadhouse came out.

265

:

Jamie Fenderson: out a little a

little later, so you could even get

266

:

stuff from 1983

267

:

Milo: Yeah.

268

:

Like a dirty

269

:

Jamie Fenderson: Return of the Jedi

270

:

might be

271

:

there.

272

:

Milo: Hmm.

273

:

Yeah.

274

:

Or no.

275

:

Empire Strikes back would be 83.

276

:

Katie: I'm gonna stop You you're wrong

because I am kind of surprised by these.

277

:

Milo: Okay.

278

:

Katie: I

279

:

Jamie Fenderson: Oh,

280

:

Katie: pull them out of

281

:

my brain because this is

early VHS time, right?

282

:

Milo: You know,

283

:

Katie: 84.

284

:

Milo: Robocop maybe

285

:

Katie: not

286

:

Jamie Fenderson: no, no.

287

:

no.

288

:

Robocops

289

:

leader,

290

:

Milo: is it

291

:

Jamie Fenderson: and the

Blockbuster wasn't even around you.

292

:

You had like mom and pop video stores,

293

:

Katie: mm-hmm.

294

:

Jamie Fenderson: so you had the

video stores that were kind of

295

:

musky that, that some guy owned.

296

:

Katie: Exactly.

297

:

Jamie Fenderson: Bob's

298

:

video store and

299

:

Katie: Yes.

300

:

Milo: had the section in the back that

you had to walk through the beads and,

301

:

and you're like looking to see if your

neighbor's dad is, is coming out of there.

302

:

Jamie Fenderson: section.

303

:

You're like,

304

:

Milo: Yeah.

305

:

Jamie Fenderson: Timmy's dad.

306

:

Milo: Yeah, I know him.

307

:

Katie: and your options were

very limited at this time, which

308

:

Milo: Okay.

309

:

Katie: why.

310

:

So the first one, is 1984.

311

:

This is why I'm

312

:

surprised by this.

313

:

One of the, the number one rented

video in:

314

:

A coked up kingpin with a little friend.

315

:

Jamie Fenderson: Oh,

316

:

Milo: Scarface

317

:

Scarface.

318

:

came out in the seventies.

319

:

Jamie Fenderson: didn't it 1981,

320

:

Katie: it was, it was,

might have been 82, but

321

:

Jamie Fenderson: maybe 82.

322

:

Milo: Oh, see, I was thinking

late seventies, like 78 or 79, 8.

323

:

Okay.

324

:

Katie: But yeah, so Scarface.

325

:

Milo: Wow.

326

:

Wouldn't have guessed that.

327

:

Katie: Now I will say I know this

because Brian De Palma directed that,

328

:

and I was just mentioning that I

was on a network with De Palma, so I

329

:

know this because I listened to the

330

:

Milo: Mm-hmm.

331

:

Katie: Scarface was not a popular

movie when it first came out.

332

:

Like at the theater, it became

popular on video rental.

333

:

So it just took a, took it a couple years.

334

:

Jamie Fenderson: It's one of

335

:

those slow burners.

336

:

Milo: Yeah,

337

:

Katie: And then the next one.

338

:

I covered it on my Kurt Russell

and Patrick Swayze season, and I

339

:

had a very hard time finding it,

which is ironic because it was the

340

:

number two most rented movie in

:

341

:

Now it is a real life nuclear

whistleblower played by Streep.

342

:

Jamie Fenderson: Oh,

343

:

is bringing back something.

344

:

Milo: this does sound, so I'm

guessing Street, Meryl Streep uh,

345

:

Katie: it also.

346

:

Milo: All the president's men?

347

:

No, no, they weren't in that.

348

:

Jamie Fenderson: This one's stump.

349

:

This one's stumping me.

350

:

Katie: because you

probably haven't seen it.

351

:

Milo: hmm.

352

:

Okay.

353

:

Katie: Silkwood,

354

:

Milo: Oh, okay.

355

:

I have not seen Silkwood.

356

:

No, I've, I've

357

:

Katie: Mm-hmm.

358

:

Milo: heard of it, but I've never seen it.

359

:

Yeah.

360

:

Katie: It's very good.

361

:

Jamie Fenderson: How come?

362

:

How come?

363

:

This sounds like a great

cast and a cool story.

364

:

And why haven't we seen this?

365

:

Where is it, why is it, why

do people withhold it from us?

366

:

Katie: now I, so when I did the episode,

it was not available to stream anywhere,

367

:

Milo: That's why.

368

:

Katie: literally rented it from my

library, requested it, but I think

369

:

it is now on one of the streamers.

370

:

So just search for Silkwood.

371

:

It's very good.

372

:

And it's based on True story.

373

:

Milo: Okay.

374

:

Jamie Fenderson: We are gonna watch that.

375

:

Milo.

376

:

Milo: Yeah, I think we gotta

do that one on our show.

377

:

Katie: guys, if you

378

:

Jamie Fenderson: No, we're gonna

379

:

listen to the episode

380

:

too.

381

:

Milo: yeah.

382

:

Jamie Fenderson: We're gonna, we're

gonna listen to the episode first thing.

383

:

Katie: Okay.

384

:

next one.

385

:

A tear jerking tale of

mothers and daughters.

386

:

Milo: Beaches.

387

:

Jamie Fenderson: beaches, but

388

:

beaches didn't come out till

389

:

later.

390

:

Milo: Yeah, the

391

Jamie Fenderson: and I only.

403

:

Katie: to, yeah.

404

:

You

405

:

Jamie Fenderson: I only know about

that because I recently did a article

406

:

I've never seen that either, but it.

407

:

408

:

410

413

:

probably because of 1984, I'm a kid and

I don't care about that kind of stuff.

414

:

now that I'm old, I think I might

actually put that on my list to watch

415

:

it and I might actually like it, which

is sad, which means I'm getting old, but

416

:

Katie: It happens to the best of us,

417

:

Jamie Fenderson: yeah.

418

:

Katie: Okay.

419

:

A Plymouth Fury with a murderous streak.

420

:

Milo: Oh, that's, oh,

I know that it's called

421

:

Jamie Fenderson: Christine.

422

:

Milo: Chris.

423

:

Yeah.

424

:

There you go.

425

:

Good job.

426

:

Jamie Fenderson: I love that movie.

427

:

See, that's probably

428

:

more of

429

:

style when

430

:

Milo: Yeah, same.

431

:

Katie: what a wild premise, eh?

432

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

433

:

the jealous car

434

:

Milo: Yeah.

435

:

Jamie Fenderson: kill car is

436

:

killing people 'cause she's jealous.

437

:

Milo: I think out of everything you,

438

:

Jamie Fenderson: King based on the Stephen

439

:

King novel.

440

:

Milo: yeah.

441

:

Katie: right.

442

:

Yeah.

443

:

Yeah.

444

:

Milo: And so far the only one

out of everything you've listed.

445

:

It's the only one I've seen,

446

:

but I haven't seen it in so long.

447

:

Yeah.

448

:

I was a kid when I saw it.

449

:

Jamie Fenderson: You've seen

450

:

Milo: Oh, true.

451

:

Okay.

452

:

Yeah.

453

:

Scarface, so two.

454

:

Yeah.

455

:

Katie: And I don't know, maybe, so the

last one I also covered last season,

456

:

so that should give you a hint either

Kurt Russell or Patrick Swayze's in

457

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

458

:

Katie: And it's a mission to

rescue POWs that got a gritty,

459

:

explosive twist name, that movie.

460

:

Milo: Wow.

461

:

One of those two.

462

:

Were in a film to rescue POWs,

463

:

Katie: Mm-hmm.

464

:

It's a little lesser known, but

465

:

Milo: apparently.

466

:

Katie: The cast is outstanding.

467

:

Milo: Okay.

468

:

Yeah, I think you're gonna

have to give this one away.

469

:

I don't have any, no idea.

470

:

For me, you, Jamie.

471

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm.

472

:

I'm stumped on this one.

473

:

Katie: Gene Hackman.

474

:

Milo: Is this the one where he is in a

plane that crashes and then like he has

475

:

to kind of get out and it's got like a

476

:

No, I dunno,

477

:

Katie: Uncommon Valor.

478

:

Milo: not what I was thinking of.

479

:

Jamie Fenderson: it.

480

:

comes back to me.

481

:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

482

:

I think I've seen it.

483

:

Yeah.

484

:

Katie: It's

485

:

Milo: Okay.

486

:

Yeah,

487

:

Katie: Yeah.

488

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

489

:

Milo: like Gene Hat man

490

:

Jamie Fenderson: of those

under the radar ones for,

491

:

Katie: Yep.

492

:

Jamie Fenderson: and.

493

:

Katie: Patrick was in it.

494

:

Jamie Fenderson: these

are the VHS top like VHS

495

:

rentals

496

:

Milo: from 1983.

497

:

Jamie Fenderson: and, they don't, yeah,

and they don't seem like some of them

498

:

are just under the radar, like you

don't hear about some of these anymore.

499

:

Katie: time and I think it's 'cause

it's so, 'cause like in mid and late

500

:

eighties, it's very clearly the big

box office movies like the prior year.

501

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

502

:

Katie: I

503

:

think it's 'cause options were pretty

limited and getting rights to the.

504

:

To VHS's.

505

:

They're still trying

to work some stuff out

506

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

507

:

Yeah.

508

:

Milo: Yeah.

509

:

Jamie Fenderson: So you

510

:

Milo: Which one's on there?

511

:

Jamie Fenderson: some that weren't

like big blockbusters or whatever.

512

:

Yeah.

513

:

That's interesting.

514

:

Milo: This does have a good cast though.

515

:

You got Robert Stack?

516

:

Fred Ward.

517

:

Randall t Cobb.

518

:

Katie: Yeah.

519

:

I'm telling you also

520

:

Milo: Definitely have to listen to

that one 'cause I wanna see this now.

521

:

Katie: category is can Jamie

and Milo Come out and play

522

:

Milo: Okay.

523

:

Jamie Fenderson: Milo.

524

:

Katie: launched,

525

:

in the US in 1984?

526

:

These robots in disguise were based on.

527

:

Japanese toy lines and

exploded in popularity.

528

:

Thanks to the animated

series and comic book.

529

:

Milo: It's gotta be transformers.

530

:

Katie: Yes, sir.

531

:

Milo: Every kid wanted those.

532

:

Jamie Fenderson: and the cartoon was

awesome and the toys were awesome.

533

:

Milo and I were both

534

:

poor though, so We had a lot of

535

:

gobos.

536

:

Milo: We had gobos instead.

537

:

Yeah, we could.

538

:

Katie: Was that the knockoff

version of a transformer

539

:

Milo: It wasn't even a knockoff,

it was like a completely separate

540

:

thing that came from Japan,

541

:

Jamie Fenderson: They, they

542

:

transformed

543

:

Milo: but, it was like,

544

:

Jamie Fenderson: and

545

:

stuff, but

546

:

Milo: yeah.

547

:

Jamie Fenderson: actually, like

548

:

they

549

:

Milo: Came out first.

550

:

Jamie Fenderson: that, Yeah.

551

:

it might have even come out

first, but Transformers were cool.

552

:

But if you were,

553

:

if, if you

554

:

were poor, then you

555

:

had gobos.

556

:

Milo: Yeah.

557

:

Well, gobos.

558

:

were smaller as well.

559

:

Like the

560

:

transformers were larger.

561

:

Jamie Fenderson: you put The you put the

arms in, you put the legs up, it's a car.

562

:

transformers were cool.

563

:

'cause they

564

:

were

565

:

intricate.

566

:

Milo: Mm-hmm.

567

:

Katie: transformers were cool.

568

:

I remember playing like I didn't

have, I didn't have a transformer all

569

:

girl child house household, but my

grandparents like had a little toy box.

570

:

For when we came over and I

had a boy cousin about my age.

571

:

So there were, I played with

Transformers at my grandparents' house.

572

:

Mm-hmm.

573

:

Jamie Fenderson: I think girls

probably like transformers too,

574

:

because that's how cool they were

575

:

Katie: they were

576

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

577

:

Katie: admit let's see here.

578

:

is very easy, but while introduced in late

:

579

:

Earth ponies, unicorns, and Pegasi plus

accessories, and a full playset ecosystem.

580

:

What was It What toy am I referring to?

581

:

Milo: It has to be My Little Pony.

Milo: We did,

591

:

Yeah.

599

:

Katie: They did have a smell, and I

even had the or technically they were

Jamie Fenderson: yeah,

603

:

Katie: You

:

Jamie Fenderson: yeah, yeah, yeah,

606

:

Jamie Fenderson: stable.

:

My cousins had 'em and I always

thought they had a weird smell,

609

:

kind of like artificially.

610

:

Smelling fruit along with

like dirty kid hands.

611

:

You mix those together.

612

:

613

:

pony smell.

614

:

Milo: Yeah.

615

:

My sister had my little ponies.

Katie: Yeah, they did.

617

:

Milo: It's that plasticy artificial scent.

618

:

You're right.

619

:

And kid smell.

620

:

Yeah.

621

:

Kid hand germs all over him.

:

Jamie Fenderson: That'll make your day.

639

:

Milo: Or my Little Pony episode.

640

:

That was a good one.

641

:

Katie: I covered the Cabbage Patch

Kids craze in my Silkwood episode.

642

:

'Cause that was 1983.

643

:

So that Christmas there was such

a craze for Cabbage Patch Kids.

644

:

And I.

645

:

did not recall the, the name of

the the company who makes them.

646

:

Do you guys know what, who it not

Hasbro or Mattel or what, but do

647

:

you know who made the Cabbage Patch?

648

:

Kids?

649

:

Milo: No, I would've

guessed one of those two.

650

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah, I might

have guessed Mattel or Hasbro, but

651

:

Katie: Coco.

652

:

C-O-L-E-C-O.

653

:

Coco.

654

:

Jamie Fenderson: sounds

655

:

more like a healthcare

656

:

Milo: heard of it.

657

:

Yeah.

658

:

Katie: I never in a million years I

didn't even know this existed, but

659

:

there was a spinoff from it spinoff Pet

Toys from the Cabbage Patch Kids Line

660

:

Jamie Fenderson: Oh yeah.

661

:

Katie: 1984 and included

cat and dog-like companions

662

:

Milo: Oh,

663

:

Jamie Fenderson: I re,

664

:

Katie: and names.

665

:

How did I not have this?

666

:

Do you guys know what it's called?

667

:

Do you, do you guys know this?

668

:

Jamie Fenderson: I remember the pets, they

had the pets come out because they were

669

:

so, cabbage Patch kids were so popular.

670

:

And then they like, look,

they got pets now too.

671

:

But I don't

672

:

remember what the pets were called.

673

:

Milo: I don't either.

674

:

Jamie Fenderson: they look

like in my head, but I can't

675

:

remember what they're called.

676

:

Katie: This says KOAs,

677

:

Milo: What

678

:

Jamie Fenderson: Cusas.

679

:

Milo: Cusas.

680

:

Katie: Yeah.

681

:

Jamie Fenderson: or something?

682

:

I am your new dog,

683

:

Katie: It says K-O-O-S-A-S.

684

:

Milo: Cusas

685

:

Jamie Fenderson: Cusas.

686

:

And I remember Cabbage Patch.

687

:

My cousins had those too.

688

:

I guess we're teaching young women

to be good mothers or something.

689

:

'cause they can't, they had

690

:

adoption papers,

691

:

Katie: Yes.

692

:

Milo: oh yeah, I remember

the adoption papers.

693

:

Yeah.

694

:

Jamie Fenderson: is the name of

your adopted Cabbage Patch kid.

695

:

And, and the girls are like this.

696

:

I'm a, I'm a true, I

I adopted this Cabbage

697

:

Patch kid.

698

:

Milo: When I,

699

:

Katie: Mine's was Sonya.

700

:

Her name was Sonya.

701

:

Jamie Fenderson: Sonya.

702

:

Katie: Yep.

703

:

Milo: I just looked up Cusas and

they're kind of creepy looking.

704

:

So they're kind of like the

human, what do they call it?

705

:

Like the not anamorphic where like

kinda they make them human ish looking,

706

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

707

:

Milo: completely.

708

:

Jamie Fenderson: looking.

709

:

Yeah.

710

:

Milo: Yeah.

711

:

They're kind of creepy looking.

712

:

Now if.

713

:

Jamie Fenderson: Like a,

if dogs and, and people

714

:

could have babies, they would look

715

:

like this.

716

:

Right.

717

:

Milo: they look like

718

:

Es.

719

:

Jamie Fenderson: you

probably should put it down

720

:

it's suffering.

721

:

Katie: If anybody had these and

maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong

722

:

but I can't believe I didn't.

723

:

It seems like that would be right up

lley, but that was a thing in:

724

:

Milo: Yeah.

725

:

Creepy

726

:

looking little animal toy dolls.

727

:

Katie: for playing guys.

728

:

You did pretty darn good, I'd have to say.

729

:

Jamie Fenderson: that's

730

:

fun.

731

:

Going back to 1984.

732

:

Milo: Yeah.

733

:

Jamie Fenderson: I like it.

734

:

All right.

735

:

Well, on this season, we're no longer

talking about Kurt and Patrick.

736

:

We're talking about John Hughes movies.

737

:

What do you guys think?

738

:

What's your history?

739

:

Milo: I like many people,

I'm a huge John Hughes fan.

740

:

You know, the fact that he only made eight

films, but wrote so many more that are

741

:

just so iconic of the eighties and were

like defining of the eighties, right?

742

:

Like when you, anytime

you say:

743

:

Almost instantly.

744

:

John Hughes comes to mind and

you could name his movies.

745

:

And even if you haven't necessarily

seen all of his movies, you could,

746

:

you've probably at least seen one.

747

:

You certainly know kind

of what they're about.

748

:

Usually have a pretty good idea who

they star you know, so it's just yeah,

749

:

he was, he was iconic of the eighties.

750

:

We couldn't have had the

eighties without John Hughes.

751

:

And interestingly, I would say John Hughes

wouldn't exist today if he were alive.

752

:

I don't think any of his movies

would be made right now based

753

:

on the content of his movies.

754

:

Katie: I concur.

755

:

He did kind of go go more in

the family friendly direction.

756

:

However, they're still pretty

problematic a lot of the times.

757

:

Milo: Yeah.

758

:

Which I'm sure we can we'll

discuss as we go along.

759

:

Yeah.

760

:

Well, and even some of the plot, like

if you look at the Breakfast Club.

761

:

Imagine pitching that to a studio.

762

:

Okay, so it's a bunch of kids.

763

:

They got detention, you got the

popular one, the nerdy one, da da da,

764

:

and they sit around and talk all day.

765

:

You know, the studio would be like, what?

766

:

No.

767

:

Katie: Well, that happened in

:

768

:

that before actually 16 candles,

769

:

Milo: Hmm.

770

:

Katie: but they

771

:

said, no, no, you have to do

a more typical teen movie.

772

:

Like that was sort of, the deal

he did was make 16 candles in

773

:

order to get Breakfast Club made.

774

:

Milo: Oh,

775

:

neat trivia.

776

:

Katie: the

777

:

studio even then was like, Hmm,

there's not, there's no like boobs,

778

:

Milo: Yeah.

779

:

Katie: no, you

780

:

Milo: Oh, Yeah.

781

:

yeah, Where's, where's the

completely random boob shot that

782

:

doesn't seem to really have a

purpose other than:

783

:

Katie: He was right.

784

:

I mean, breakfast Club you know,

spoiler alert is a way better movie.

785

:

And everybody, you know, not just my

opinion, I mean, it's rated better.

786

:

It's, that movie is held

in extremely high regard.

787

:

Milo: Yeah, totally agree.

788

:

Katie: additional any

additional thoughts, Jamie?

789

:

Jamie Fenderson: here's what I

like about John Hughes movies

790

:

is They're teen comedies, so

they're funny and they're teen.

791

:

But John Hughes movies are interesting

because they don't, don't insult

792

:

the intelligence of teenagers.

793

:

So most teen comedies

are just kind of dumb.

794

:

Look at, this is dumb.

795

:

Look, boobies, slapstick.

796

:

You know, it's, there's not much to it.

797

:

But John Hughes movies are smart

because I think John Hughes

798

:

knows that teenagers are smart.

799

:

So they're funny, but they're also

clever, they're smart, and they don't

800

:

insult the intelligence of teenagers.

801

:

I think that's one of the mainstays

of John Hughes Teen comedy is that

802

:

I think he respects the people

that he's making the movies for.

803

:

That's why I like, that's why I like them.

804

:

Katie: They're very relatable and

like relevant to the teen experience.

805

:

It's not through the lens

of the adults looking at the

806

:

teens, it's through the teens

807

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

808

:

And it's not like, you know, super,

it's got, it's got the teen comedy,

809

:

but it's not like porkies where it's,

or something like that where it's

810

:

just, hey look boobs and funny stuff.

811

:

And then that's the end of the movie.

812

:

like that stuff, right?

813

:

They like slapstick and boobies.

814

:

So let's just do that.

815

:

I mean, you still got a lot of slapstick,

maybe a little bit of a sexiness,

816

:

but you also have well written and

like you say, I think it's, they're,

817

:

they're written through the kind

of the mind of a, of the teenager.

818

:

So I, that's why I dig.

819

:

That's what, that's what I think separates

John Hughes teen comedies from others.

820

:

Milo: That's a good point.

821

:

Katie: Yeah.

822

:

Well said guys.

823

:

Well, shall we get into the movie?

824

:

16 Candles?

825

:

All right, you guys.

826

:

This came out May 4th, 1984, which

if we're keeping track is over 40

827

:

years ago, so that's not awesome.

828

:

Milo: Hmm.

829

:

Katie: Make, me feel very old.

830

:

Milo: think I just got another gray hair.

831

:

Katie: it's pg.

832

:

Milo: Yeah.

833

:

Because

834

:

Yep.

835

:

Katie: yeah, that's wild.

836

:

Now, a couple reasons because, PR so

at the time, your choices were R or pg,

837

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

838

:

Katie: 13

839

:

did not yet exist.

840

:

Jamie Fenderson: And.

841

:

it was only a few months

842

:

Katie: mm-hmm.

843

:

Jamie Fenderson: it?

844

:

would exist.

845

:

Yeah.

846

:

Katie: was it?

847

:

We covered

848

:

Jamie Fenderson: Red, red Dawn.

849

:

yeah,

850

:

Red Dawn was the first one.

851

:

Yep.

852

:

Katie: Mm-hmm.

853

:

So yeah, it predates that.

854

:

So it was either gonna be an R or pg

and apparently if you have more than

855

:

two F-bombs, it's immediately an R.

856

:

So they just removed

one or removed a couple.

857

:

'cause there are, I noted at

least one F-bomb in 16 candles.

858

:

But then it still has nudity and like

underage binge drinking like very

859

:

Milo: sexual innuendo.

860

:

Yeah.

861

:

Katie: And are, is there

sexual assault going on here?

862

:

What?

863

:

You know, so there's a lot in this and

it is a PG movie, whereas Breakfast

864

:

Club has no nudity, none of that.

865

:

But it has A lot of language.

866

:

I mean, some adult situations I guess.

867

:

But Breakfast Club is an R rated movie.

868

:

Milo: Okay.

869

:

Yeah,

870

:

Jamie Fenderson: See what

happens when you drop too

871

:

many F-bombs.

872

:

Katie: Yeah.

873

:

Milo: those rating boards are so weird.

874

:

Jamie Fenderson: sexual assault,

you know, all that kind of stuff.

875

:

That's fine, but you drop too

876

:

many F-bombs.

877

:

That's,

878

:

that's an R we're coming

879

:

Milo: Yeah.

880

:

Jamie Fenderson: heart.

881

:

Milo: You're over the line.

882

:

You're over the line with that language.

883

:

Jamie Fenderson: You can't drop an F

884

:

bomb while

885

:

you're showing your

886

:

Milo: No.

887

:

Jamie Fenderson: Get rid of that F bomb.

888

:

Katie: Yeah.

889

:

Keep

890

:

the boobs.

891

:

Milo: Mm-hmm.

892

:

Jamie Fenderson: the

893

:

boobs.

894

:

That's okay.

895

:

Milo: Yeah.

896

:

Katie: Well, you know, 16

candles is not one of my go-tos.

897

:

Like I, I always think of it, but

I don't, I can't quote it like I

898

:

can breakfast club or something.

899

:

So I sort of conflate it and

pretty pink in my head 'cause

900

:

I don't rewatch them as often.

901

:

So if you are similar to me and you

need a refresh about 16 candles.

902

:

Here's the description of it.

903

:

Samantha's life is going downhill fast.

904

:

The 16-year-old has a crush on the

most popular boy in school, and the

905

:

geest boy in school has a crush on her.

906

:

Her sister is getting married and with

all the excitement, the rest of the family

907

:

forgets that it's her 16th birthday.

908

:

And add two sets of horrendously,

embarrassing and quite funny grandparents,

909

:

a foreign exchange student named Long

Duck Dong and Behold, the makings of a

910

:

hilarious Journey into Young Womanhood.

911

:

This is 16 candles and it has a 7.0

912

:

on IMDB.

913

:

And to your point, Milo, about

John Hughes only directing

914

:

you a certain number of films.

915

:

This was his directorial debut

and he also wrote the movie.

916

:

Milo: Yeah, I'm with you Katie, though.

917

:

I do in my head, overlap

this with Pretty and Pink.

918

:

Like when I watched it the other

night, I was like, oh, the thing I'm

919

:

thinking of must be in Pretty and Pink.

920

:

'cause it's not in this movie.

921

:

They're very, very similar films and I

think a lot of people think John Hughes

922

:

directed pretty in pink, but he didn't.

923

:

He just wrote it.

924

:

Katie: you're right.

925

:

As we'll get into, but there

was a like, almost every five

926

:

minutes I'm like, Ooh, wow.

927

:

Yikes.

928

:

This one's really problematic.

929

:

But I do, now, having said that, I'm

going to just have fun watching the movie.

930

:

It's in the eighties.

931

:

It's different time, but like, it's

kind of fun to make fun of how,

932

:

like wildly inappropriate and..

933

:

Offensive.

934

:

I guess a lot of things

were in this movie.

935

:

but let's start with

some of our cast members.

936

:

So Samantha's played by Molly Ringwald,

and I'm pretty sure John Hughes wrote

937

:

this movie for her, with her in mind.

938

:

Like he had a headshot of her and

then she went on to become his muse.

939

:

Jamie Fenderson: guess he had a picture

of her headshot too, when he was doing

940

:

work, and he'd kind of look at her

every once in a while like, this is,

941

:

this is the girl I'm

942

:

writing

943

:

about.

944

:

Milo: I think she was perfectly cast.

945

:

I mean, 'cause she's adorable, but she

also has that kind of geeky quality

946

:

to her to where you're like, okay,

she's definitely not gonna be like

947

:

this super, pretty popular girl.

948

:

But she's also still very attractive

and just like I, I just think

949

:

she's perfectly cast in this,

950

:

which is great.

951

:

Katie: agree.

952

:

I agree.

953

:

And then the Geek is played by Anthony

Michael Hall, and they were both 15.

954

:

They,

955

:

both of those two were actually

956

:

15 years old this movie.

957

:

We'll get into some of the ages,

which I, we is interesting.

958

:

The, the crush, the, the hot boy

in this movie, Jake Ryan is played

959

:

by Michael Shoing and he didn't,

do you guys know him from anything?

960

:

Milo: No, this is literally

the only thing I know him from.

961

:

Katie: Yeah, I think he went

on to just have a regular life.

962

:

Milo: He stopped working in 1991.

963

:

It looks like

964

:

Katie: He was 23 when this movie was made.

965

:

Milo: bit of an age difference.

966

:

I.

967

:

Katie: that tracks, I buy that

968

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

969

:

Katie: looks like a a young man.

970

:

I.

971

:

thought Anthony, Michael Halt

looked all of 11 in this movie.

972

:

Didn't

973

:

Milo: Yeah.

974

:

Katie: looked so

975

:

young?

976

:

Milo: Yeah.

977

:

Especially compared to now.

978

:

Like he looks so different now

than he did back in the eighties.

979

:

You know, like he played enough

of these nerd roles where he is

980

:

like, Nope, I'm done with that.

981

:

So he starts hitting the

gym and like everything.

982

:

Yeah.

983

:

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

984

:

Late

985

:

bloomer, you

986

:

know?

987

:

Milo: Yeah.

988

:

But he's kind of a bit of

a sexual predator as well,

989

:

speaking as sexual predators.

990

:

Katie: He has a popular girlfriend

and her name in the, in the movie is

991

:

Carolyn, played by Haviland Morris.

992

:

And I guess she in real

life, has red hair.

993

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

994

:

Katie: John Hughes only wanted

run one redhead in the movie.

995

:

So the, her blonde hair is a wig.

996

:

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

997

:

Milo: At least it didn't

make her bleach it.

998

:

Jamie Fenderson: redhead.

999

:

in my movie.

:

00:35:37,524 --> 00:35:37,734

Katie: redhead.

:

00:35:37,749 --> 00:35:38,109

Jamie Fenderson: And that's

:

00:35:38,109 --> 00:35:38,529

Molly

:

00:35:38,529 --> 00:35:39,339

Ringwald.

:

00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:40,599

Get your wig on lady.

:

00:35:41,394 --> 00:35:44,214

Katie: did you, did you guys

recognize her from anything?

:

00:35:45,129 --> 00:35:45,549

Milo: Mm-hmm.

:

00:35:46,050 --> 00:35:49,170

Katie: Her name sounds very,

that's a very specific name.

:

00:35:50,544 --> 00:35:55,484

but I think is most known for this,

but she was also in gremlins two,

:

00:35:55,574 --> 00:35:57,704

the new Batch and Home Alone three.

:

00:35:58,124 --> 00:35:58,754

Milo: Ooh.

:

00:35:59,774 --> 00:36:00,854

Jamie Fenderson: So she likes, she

:

00:36:00,854 --> 00:36:01,989

likes to do them sequels.

:

00:36:02,534 --> 00:36:03,674

Milo: Yeah, it looks like it.

:

00:36:03,974 --> 00:36:06,494

Katie: you know, there's a John

Hughes connection, I guess there

:

00:36:06,594 --> 00:36:06,884

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:36:07,149 --> 00:36:12,069

Katie: but I did not recall

this family has four kids.

:

00:36:12,834 --> 00:36:14,934

Milo: No, I didn't remember

any of that storyline

:

00:36:15,504 --> 00:36:16,404

with the, the

:

00:36:16,454 --> 00:36:16,534

Jamie Fenderson: Hmm.

:

00:36:16,544 --> 00:36:18,014

Katie: the sister getting married,

:

00:36:18,374 --> 00:36:18,704

but then

:

00:36:18,704 --> 00:36:21,164

there's also a younger

brother and a younger sister.

:

00:36:21,164 --> 00:36:26,714

And the younger brother, was

like second build in the movie.

:

00:36:27,164 --> 00:36:27,644

Milo: weird.

:

00:36:27,774 --> 00:36:27,854

Jamie Fenderson: Hmm.

:

00:36:27,914 --> 00:36:28,064

Katie: So

:

00:36:28,064 --> 00:36:29,324

he is, Mike is his name.

:

00:36:29,324 --> 00:36:31,994

He's the younger brother and

he's played by Justin Henry.

:

00:36:32,444 --> 00:36:39,207

And they were just trying to maximize his,

he had just come off doing Kramer versus

:

00:36:39,207 --> 00:36:42,357

Kramer and was like a popular kid actor.

:

00:36:42,437 --> 00:36:42,657

Jamie Fenderson: Oh

:

00:36:42,717 --> 00:36:42,957

Katie: like, oh,

:

00:36:42,957 --> 00:36:44,397

people will know his name.

:

00:36:46,077 --> 00:36:47,907

Milo: You know, I did

recognize him though.

:

00:36:47,967 --> 00:36:50,697

When I, when, when I watched it, I'm

like, okay, this kid looks familiar.

:

00:36:50,697 --> 00:36:53,757

So I must have seen him in something

else back then that he was in.

:

00:36:54,267 --> 00:36:54,837

Katie: he did.

:

00:36:54,837 --> 00:36:55,737

Yeah, you're right.

:

00:36:55,737 --> 00:36:56,757

And he was pretty good.

:

00:36:56,757 --> 00:36:58,377

He was like a jerky little brother.

:

00:36:58,857 --> 00:36:59,727

Milo: Yeah, he played it well.

:

00:37:00,267 --> 00:37:00,867

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

00:37:01,197 --> 00:37:01,707

Milo: believable.

:

00:37:01,752 --> 00:37:03,552

Jamie Fenderson: makes sense that

they, the family would have a

:

00:37:03,552 --> 00:37:06,882

lot of kids 'cause they forgot

their daughter's 16th birthday.

:

00:37:06,942 --> 00:37:08,862

'cause of the older ones

getting married, there's two

:

00:37:08,862 --> 00:37:09,792

others she gotta kind of

:

00:37:09,792 --> 00:37:10,482

control.

:

00:37:11,082 --> 00:37:11,382

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:37:11,382 --> 00:37:13,142

Jamie Fenderson: the middle

everybody's forgetting about me.

:

00:37:13,322 --> 00:37:14,462

I'm Jan Brady here.

:

00:37:16,337 --> 00:37:17,027

Katie: Jan Brady.

:

00:37:17,327 --> 00:37:17,807

Well, six.

:

00:37:17,837 --> 00:37:18,917

Yeah, I don't know.

:

00:37:18,917 --> 00:37:24,497

I mean, forgetting your 16, like

Sweet 16 is like a thing, I guess.

:

00:37:24,497 --> 00:37:24,917

I don't know.

:

00:37:24,917 --> 00:37:26,867

It never was for, for me.

:

00:37:27,167 --> 00:37:31,937

Like we didn't have, you know, I guess

like debutantes and in some areas of

:

00:37:31,937 --> 00:37:35,807

the country or the world, maybe there's

a big deal around your Sweet 16.

:

00:37:35,837 --> 00:37:38,177

Was, was that a big deal

where you guys grew up?

:

00:37:39,542 --> 00:37:39,902

Milo: No.

:

00:37:40,052 --> 00:37:42,692

In our house it was

like any other birthday.

:

00:37:43,055 --> 00:37:43,345

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

00:37:43,624 --> 00:37:44,254

Plus we were

:

00:37:44,254 --> 00:37:44,644

poor,

:

00:37:44,644 --> 00:37:45,364

so it's

:

00:37:45,499 --> 00:37:45,739

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:37:46,204 --> 00:37:48,064

Jamie Fenderson: whatever

we d do for birthdays, we're

:

00:37:48,064 --> 00:37:49,054

gonna do that again.

:

00:37:49,879 --> 00:37:50,179

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,169

I think my mom was.

:

00:37:51,364 --> 00:37:53,794

Katie: AM with a bow on it in

the driveway waiting for you?

:

00:37:53,794 --> 00:37:55,504

Like she wanted, she says.

:

00:37:55,772 --> 00:37:59,702

Milo: Didn't even bother attempting

to ask for a car when my 16th rolled

:

00:37:59,702 --> 00:38:02,492

around because I knew there was no

chance in hell that was gonna happen.

:

00:38:02,762 --> 00:38:03,062

Yeah.

:

00:38:03,287 --> 00:38:03,617

Katie: I did

:

00:38:03,617 --> 00:38:07,607

get a car, but it wasn't

like we went looking for one.

:

00:38:07,637 --> 00:38:10,037

I remember going, like

looking for one with my dad.

:

00:38:10,727 --> 00:38:13,247

But it wasn't there for me

when I woke up on my 16th

:

00:38:13,262 --> 00:38:13,352

Milo: Aw,

:

00:38:14,762 --> 00:38:14,883

Katie: I know

:

00:38:15,632 --> 00:38:16,862

Milo: little bow on it.

:

00:38:18,497 --> 00:38:20,057

Katie: it was 10-year-old car.

:

00:38:20,327 --> 00:38:20,387

I

:

00:38:20,522 --> 00:38:21,182

Jamie Fenderson: Oh, well that's

:

00:38:21,212 --> 00:38:22,502

Milo: Oh, what was it?

:

00:38:22,562 --> 00:38:23,102

What was it?

:

00:38:23,552 --> 00:38:23,822

Jamie Fenderson: Used car,

:

00:38:23,957 --> 00:38:24,167

Katie: was a

:

00:38:24,167 --> 00:38:25,037

Ford probe.

:

00:38:25,442 --> 00:38:26,102

Milo: Ooh.

:

00:38:26,252 --> 00:38:27,542

Yeah, I remember the Ford probe.

:

00:38:27,692 --> 00:38:28,172

Jamie Fenderson: probe.

:

00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:29,492

Milo: was kind of almost a

:

00:38:29,852 --> 00:38:32,162

roundish looking is kind of

the way I would describe it.

:

00:38:32,167 --> 00:38:34,922

It wasn't round, but it

kind of had a bubbly look.

:

00:38:35,447 --> 00:38:35,777

Katie: Ford

:

00:38:35,777 --> 00:38:36,137

Probe.

:

00:38:36,137 --> 00:38:41,987

'cause like somewhere in the mid nineties

they changed the look of them, but yeah.

:

00:38:42,272 --> 00:38:43,592

Milo: it the kind of roundy looking one?

:

00:38:44,012 --> 00:38:44,972

Did it kind of like,

:

00:38:45,452 --> 00:38:45,752

Yeah,

:

00:38:46,172 --> 00:38:47,582

The hood was very kind of roundish.

:

00:38:48,287 --> 00:38:51,137

Katie: And I'm pretty sure did the

flash or the headlights come up?

:

00:38:51,137 --> 00:38:51,947

No, I don't.

:

00:38:52,097 --> 00:38:53,207

I can't remember.

:

00:38:53,267 --> 00:38:53,627

Milo: Hmm.

:

00:38:53,837 --> 00:38:54,527

Katie: Anyway,

:

00:38:54,647 --> 00:38:57,467

Jamie Fenderson: that, I just think,

when did Ford get into the healthcare

:

00:38:57,467 --> 00:38:58,217

industry?

:

00:38:58,277 --> 00:38:58,547

And

:

00:38:58,547 --> 00:38:59,267

that's all I can

:

00:38:59,507 --> 00:38:59,777

Milo: Probe.

:

00:39:00,227 --> 00:39:02,657

Katie: it is a silly

:

00:39:03,452 --> 00:39:04,532

Jamie Fenderson: maybe they're into space

:

00:39:04,532 --> 00:39:04,922

now

:

00:39:05,327 --> 00:39:06,137

Katie: probing.

:

00:39:06,287 --> 00:39:06,677

Yeah.

:

00:39:06,707 --> 00:39:07,457

That is odd.

:

00:39:07,667 --> 00:39:09,947

Milo: When I think the Taurus

eventually was kind of what

:

00:39:09,947 --> 00:39:11,717

the Ford probe got to did too.

:

00:39:12,377 --> 00:39:16,217

'cause they were very similar cars

and so I think when they discontinued

:

00:39:16,427 --> 00:39:16,577

Katie: was

:

00:39:16,577 --> 00:39:20,207

a two-door, it was kind

of like a sporty car.

:

00:39:20,657 --> 00:39:21,047

Milo: okay.

:

00:39:21,717 --> 00:39:23,067

Katie: Tourists were really ugly

:

00:39:23,517 --> 00:39:25,887

Milo: Was because wasn't

the Ford probe kind of ugly?

:

00:39:26,967 --> 00:39:28,467

Am I thinking of the wrong car?

:

00:39:28,737 --> 00:39:31,527

Katie: clearly didn't think so

'cause I got, it was like sporty.

:

00:39:32,877 --> 00:39:33,297

Milo: Hmm.

:

00:39:33,462 --> 00:39:36,522

Jamie Fenderson: when you get a

car and someone else pays for it,

:

00:39:36,522 --> 00:39:37,362

doesn't matter what it

:

00:39:37,362 --> 00:39:37,812

looks like.

:

00:39:38,112 --> 00:39:38,172

If.

:

00:39:38,187 --> 00:39:38,427

Katie: Yeah, you're

:

00:39:38,572 --> 00:39:38,862

Milo: Okay.

:

00:39:39,327 --> 00:39:39,807

Katie: Yeah.

:

00:39:40,242 --> 00:39:41,772

Milo: Yeah, I was picturing the right car.

:

00:39:41,922 --> 00:39:41,967

Katie: But it's

:

00:39:42,207 --> 00:39:43,917

Milo: I was, it is a two-door.

:

00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:44,457

Yeah, you're right.

:

00:39:44,457 --> 00:39:46,557

The Taurus is a four-door,

but I guess, yeah, it is more

:

00:39:46,557 --> 00:39:47,937

sporty than I was picturing it.

:

00:39:49,302 --> 00:39:49,522

Oh

:

00:39:49,662 --> 00:39:50,202

Katie: I wanted a

:

00:39:50,202 --> 00:39:50,952

sunfire.

:

00:39:51,002 --> 00:39:51,292

Milo: yeah.

:

00:39:51,402 --> 00:39:51,822

Katie: like all the

:

00:39:51,822 --> 00:39:54,642

rage in the nine, like mid

nineties for teenage cars.

:

00:39:56,042 --> 00:39:56,332

Milo: Okay.

:

00:39:56,502 --> 00:39:56,832

Katie: are kind of

:

00:39:56,832 --> 00:39:57,762

ridiculous to think.

:

00:39:58,212 --> 00:39:59,682

And what were those other ones?

:

00:39:59,682 --> 00:40:00,822

A geo, geo

:

00:40:00,852 --> 00:40:01,812

Jamie Fenderson: storm

:

00:40:02,022 --> 00:40:02,522

Milo: Oh yeah.

:

00:40:02,592 --> 00:40:03,732

Jamie Fenderson: metros,

:

00:40:04,662 --> 00:40:05,202

Katie: like teen

:

00:40:05,352 --> 00:40:09,012

Jamie Fenderson: the sky blue

and the yellow colors geos.

:

00:40:10,407 --> 00:40:10,697

Katie: Geos.

:

00:40:10,842 --> 00:40:11,952

Jamie Fenderson: were so cool.

:

00:40:11,982 --> 00:40:14,022

And now you look at 'em, you're

like, oh, look at that little,

:

00:40:14,862 --> 00:40:15,072

little

:

00:40:15,072 --> 00:40:15,372

pill

:

00:40:15,372 --> 00:40:15,972

looking thing.

:

00:40:16,222 --> 00:40:16,512

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:40:17,607 --> 00:40:20,907

They must have changed the look

a bit for the probe though.

:

00:40:20,907 --> 00:40:25,137

'cause like you had the really kind

of circular, bubbly front grill,

:

00:40:25,137 --> 00:40:27,987

and then they had kind of a sportier

looking version that has like

:

00:40:27,987 --> 00:40:29,697

actual vents on the front and stuff.

:

00:40:30,232 --> 00:40:34,042

Katie: So Halan Morris, and so

she plays Jake's girlfriend.

:

00:40:34,042 --> 00:40:38,482

They're both like in their early

twenties, 23 and 24 respectively.

:

00:40:39,262 --> 00:40:46,432

then the actor who plays Long Duck

Dong, it's, is it GED or Geddy?

:

00:40:46,462 --> 00:40:49,972

G-E-D-D-E Wabe,

:

00:40:51,457 --> 00:40:52,642

Milo: Your guess?

:

00:40:52,732 --> 00:40:53,182

I don't know.

:

00:40:53,182 --> 00:40:55,312

I'd, I'd say Ed Getty.

:

00:40:55,942 --> 00:40:56,752

Katie: GED or Getty.

:

00:40:56,932 --> 00:40:57,292

Milo: Getty.

:

00:40:57,802 --> 00:40:58,162

Hmm.

:

00:40:58,912 --> 00:40:59,692

Katie: So that's the actor.

:

00:40:59,692 --> 00:41:01,732

He was 28 years old,

:

00:41:02,392 --> 00:41:02,962

Milo: Really?

:

00:41:03,202 --> 00:41:04,522

Oh, he looked much younger.

:

00:41:05,422 --> 00:41:06,322

Katie: 28 years old.

:

00:41:06,322 --> 00:41:06,802

Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:07,912 --> 00:41:08,362

Yeah.

:

00:41:08,392 --> 00:41:09,022

That's, that's

:

00:41:09,052 --> 00:41:09,952

Jamie Fenderson: Asian dude.

:

00:41:10,117 --> 00:41:10,407

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:41:10,462 --> 00:41:10,792

Katie: yeah.

:

00:41:10,792 --> 00:41:15,262

Now this is one of the this is one of

the biggest problem areas in the movie.

:

00:41:15,562 --> 00:41:16,552

I mean, there are a lot

:

00:41:16,597 --> 00:41:16,887

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:41:17,512 --> 00:41:18,802

Katie: but this is a big one.

:

00:41:19,102 --> 00:41:23,622

And he said in an interview

that he had a lot of anger.

:

00:41:23,877 --> 00:41:27,777

Publicly expressed toward him for

playing this role for, you know,

:

00:41:27,777 --> 00:41:32,127

like disse, like this is such a

negative stereotype for Asian men.

:

00:41:32,907 --> 00:41:33,357

Yeah.

:

00:41:33,387 --> 00:41:39,557

But Ebert, Roger Ebert, , came to his

defense writing he actually elevates

:

00:41:39,587 --> 00:41:44,507

his role from potentially being an

offensive stereotype to high comedy.

:

00:41:45,442 --> 00:41:45,662

Milo: Mm.

:

00:41:46,097 --> 00:41:49,307

Katie: but since then, a lot of

people put it in the same category

:

00:41:49,307 --> 00:41:50,777

as Mickey Rooney in breakfast at

:

00:41:50,972 --> 00:41:51,392

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:51,947 --> 00:41:55,007

Milo: Yeah, I, I, I would say

Mickey Rooneys is probably more

:

00:41:55,007 --> 00:41:57,107

so because he's actually not Asian

:

00:41:57,467 --> 00:41:57,857

Katie: Right.

:

00:41:57,947 --> 00:42:00,887

Milo: where his, to where this

guy's, but the thing is he was

:

00:42:00,887 --> 00:42:02,657

a young starting out actor.

:

00:42:02,657 --> 00:42:04,637

He didn't have a lot of

credits prior to this.

:

00:42:04,757 --> 00:42:08,267

So as an actor, you're like, you're

gonna pay me to be in a movie?

:

00:42:08,597 --> 00:42:09,017

Yeah.

:

00:42:09,077 --> 00:42:09,827

Okay, sure.

:

00:42:09,827 --> 00:42:10,337

I'll do it.

:

00:42:10,337 --> 00:42:11,567

Jamie Fenderson: and

you're not gonna blow me

:

00:42:11,567 --> 00:42:12,437

up with a

:

00:42:12,437 --> 00:42:12,887

missile

:

00:42:12,887 --> 00:42:13,547

or something

:

00:42:13,667 --> 00:42:14,177

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:42:14,177 --> 00:42:14,837

Jamie Fenderson: the bad guy.

:

00:42:14,867 --> 00:42:17,417

'cause that's a lot of

Asian American male actors.

:

00:42:17,567 --> 00:42:17,987

That was kind

:

00:42:17,987 --> 00:42:19,157

of like, like the roles you got

:

00:42:19,157 --> 00:42:19,577

back then.

:

00:42:20,027 --> 00:42:20,357

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:42:20,362 --> 00:42:20,602

yeah.

:

00:42:20,672 --> 00:42:21,152

Katie: he,

:

00:42:21,332 --> 00:42:22,412

he doesn't have an accent.

:

00:42:22,412 --> 00:42:24,722

Like he's born in the United

States, I can't remember.

:

00:42:25,002 --> 00:42:27,222

I wanna say like Utah

or somewhere like really

:

00:42:27,222 --> 00:42:27,302

Milo: Hmm.

:

00:42:27,762 --> 00:42:28,002

Katie: like

:

00:42:28,002 --> 00:42:28,362

that.

:

00:42:29,152 --> 00:42:34,132

He had a friend from Korea and he

said he just mimicked his accent.

:

00:42:35,342 --> 00:42:35,632

Milo: Nice.

:

00:42:36,337 --> 00:42:39,397

Jamie Fenderson: So here's the

thing about the in early and mid

:

00:42:39,397 --> 00:42:44,807

eighties is you could still make

fun of people in offensive ways.

:

00:42:44,807 --> 00:42:48,257

Like black people, women, homosexuals.

:

00:42:48,347 --> 00:42:52,907

You could still make fun of and,

And you can't get away with that

:

00:42:52,907 --> 00:42:56,027

now on unless you're an Asian male.

:

00:42:56,577 --> 00:43:01,557

I was kind of noticing that, that it

still seems even today, like it's okay

:

00:43:01,557 --> 00:43:05,967

to make fun of Asian males if, if you

make fun of anybody else, it's offensive.

:

00:43:05,967 --> 00:43:10,467

But you'll see, still see stuff out

there that's very kind of stereotypical.

:

00:43:11,757 --> 00:43:17,697

And I thought that's interesting that the

Asian male hasn't really been protected

:

00:43:17,697 --> 00:43:22,957

in the way that all these other groups of

people had in our current, kind of world.

:

00:43:23,627 --> 00:43:24,557

So I just thought that's

:

00:43:24,947 --> 00:43:25,997

Katie: males?

:

00:43:25,997 --> 00:43:26,297

Jamie Fenderson: Mm.

:

00:43:26,357 --> 00:43:28,187

I think it's specifically Asian males?

:

00:43:28,187 --> 00:43:32,237

And you'll even see comedians, Asian

male comedians, they still play it up.

:

00:43:32,657 --> 00:43:36,327

Sometimes you'll still see it and even

like at the high school, like with my

:

00:43:36,327 --> 00:43:40,987

son, he has a lot of Asian male friends

and they were born here, but they still

:

00:43:40,987 --> 00:43:42,997

seem to get a lot of that kind of thing.

:

00:43:44,077 --> 00:43:46,327

So I was thinking that's interesting.

:

00:43:46,327 --> 00:43:50,047

That this character

perpetuating that stereotype.

:

00:43:50,047 --> 00:43:50,407

Yeah.

:

00:43:50,407 --> 00:43:54,967

But that's one of the few

stereotypes that can still be around

:

00:43:54,967 --> 00:43:55,507

today.

:

00:43:57,032 --> 00:43:58,957

Milo: I don't know if it'd

be to this level though.

:

00:43:59,047 --> 00:44:02,557

I mean, imagine seeing a modern

movie made to this level.

:

00:44:02,557 --> 00:44:06,097

Like literally like every time he shows

up a dong ring, you know, like the,

:

00:44:06,382 --> 00:44:06,922

Jamie Fenderson: The gong

:

00:44:07,117 --> 00:44:07,237

Katie: the,

:

00:44:07,237 --> 00:44:07,507

gong

:

00:44:07,567 --> 00:44:07,837

Milo: yeah.

:

00:44:07,947 --> 00:44:08,367

Katie: His,

:

00:44:08,517 --> 00:44:08,967

Milo: come on.

:

00:44:09,297 --> 00:44:11,367

Katie: is Long Dong,

:

00:44:12,267 --> 00:44:13,017

Milo: What's your what?

:

00:44:13,137 --> 00:44:15,507

Your last name dong your first name Long.

:

00:44:16,017 --> 00:44:16,617

Ooh.

:

00:44:17,877 --> 00:44:18,057

Katie: Oh.

:

00:44:18,057 --> 00:44:18,147

And

:

00:44:18,177 --> 00:44:22,147

he even doesn't he have like

karate gear on in, in one scene

:

00:44:22,477 --> 00:44:23,527

Milo: Possibly.

:

00:44:23,862 --> 00:44:24,152

Yeah.

:

00:44:24,247 --> 00:44:24,817

Katie: and they, they

:

00:44:24,817 --> 00:44:26,677

continually call him Chinaman.

:

00:44:26,792 --> 00:44:27,212

Milo: Mm-hmm.

:

00:44:27,472 --> 00:44:28,212

The Chinaman,

:

00:44:29,004 --> 00:44:32,514

Katie: They have him using, some

of it's kind of funny, like he is,

:

00:44:32,754 --> 00:44:37,464

he turns the silverware around to

use the ends of it, as chopsticks.

:

00:44:38,544 --> 00:44:41,814

I guess the scene with the

exercise bike was his idea, the

:

00:44:41,814 --> 00:44:43,704

actor's idea, because he found it.

:

00:44:43,704 --> 00:44:46,464

in the home they were

filming in and had an idea.

:

00:44:46,524 --> 00:44:51,194

So He did, I think probably it could have

been worse, I guess is what I'm saying.

:

00:44:51,194 --> 00:44:53,434

I think he did make things funny.

:

00:44:53,924 --> 00:44:58,974

But yeah yeah, there was a lot really,

:

00:44:59,169 --> 00:44:59,179

Milo: it.

:

00:44:59,244 --> 00:44:59,754

Katie: and like

:

00:44:59,754 --> 00:45:02,994

they, they even insinuated

that the grandparents were kind

:

00:45:02,994 --> 00:45:06,774

of using him for like labor,

:

00:45:07,524 --> 00:45:09,834

Milo: He does a great job mowing the lawn.

:

00:45:11,334 --> 00:45:13,284

Katie: They, well, they,

they listed like four things

:

00:45:13,319 --> 00:45:13,609

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:45:13,794 --> 00:45:14,004

Katie: Yeah.

:

00:45:14,004 --> 00:45:14,154

he's

:

00:45:14,154 --> 00:45:16,374

learning, he's Learning

all these American things.

:

00:45:16,374 --> 00:45:16,464

And

:

00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:18,024

Milo: Learning how to wash the dishes.

:

00:45:18,024 --> 00:45:19,314

Katie: him doing their chores.

:

00:45:19,434 --> 00:45:19,674

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:45:19,997 --> 00:45:20,357

Yeah.

:

00:45:20,357 --> 00:45:23,537

But hey, he gets the girl

that he was after, right?

:

00:45:25,277 --> 00:45:25,967

So there you go.

:

00:45:26,507 --> 00:45:28,407

Katie: And Molly Molly Ringwald playing.

:

00:45:28,407 --> 00:45:29,397

Samantha is jealous.

:

00:45:29,397 --> 00:45:31,647

She's like, he's here five

minutes and he finds love, and

:

00:45:31,647 --> 00:45:32,787

I've been here my whole life.

:

00:45:33,417 --> 00:45:34,017

Milo: Exactly.

:

00:45:34,227 --> 00:45:34,557

Yeah.

:

00:45:35,167 --> 00:45:37,387

It, it's definitely a character

you have to put into the

:

00:45:37,387 --> 00:45:38,977

context of when it was made.

:

00:45:39,667 --> 00:45:44,827

You certainly can't put it with our modern

sensibilities and just accept it for that.

:

00:45:45,427 --> 00:45:51,307

Katie: I was a toddler in

I 84, but watching it, I, I

:

00:45:51,307 --> 00:45:52,747

was kind of surprised that.

:

00:45:52,747 --> 00:45:58,522

it was so blatant in the eighties,

like it's not the fifties,

:

00:45:58,927 --> 00:45:59,137

Milo: Hmm.

:

00:45:59,467 --> 00:45:59,737

Katie: I don't

:

00:45:59,737 --> 00:46:00,337

know.

:

00:46:00,697 --> 00:46:04,477

Milo: And it's kind of weird for John

Hughes too, who in general is pretty,

:

00:46:04,717 --> 00:46:08,407

you know, he plays stuff for laughs,

but in general plays, you know, like

:

00:46:08,407 --> 00:46:12,847

we were saying earlier, Wrights teens

reasonably respectably, but then he

:

00:46:12,847 --> 00:46:18,127

throws this character in there that's

kind of a bit outta place just for laughs.

:

00:46:18,127 --> 00:46:19,567

Just because, yeah.

:

00:46:19,807 --> 00:46:21,517

Katie: why did the grandparents bring,

:

00:46:21,877 --> 00:46:22,087

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:46:22,297 --> 00:46:22,777

Katie: you're right.

:

00:46:22,777 --> 00:46:24,247

It is kind of just, just for laugh.

:

00:46:24,247 --> 00:46:28,357

And I, is notorious for having all white

:

00:46:28,822 --> 00:46:29,242

Milo: Mm-hmm.

:

00:46:29,947 --> 00:46:34,747

Katie: And then when there is someone

that is not white, they're a caricature.

:

00:46:36,097 --> 00:46:36,427

Yeah.

:

00:46:36,427 --> 00:46:36,877

Not great.

:

00:46:36,877 --> 00:46:37,417

John Hughes.

:

00:46:37,417 --> 00:46:37,777

Let's

:

00:46:37,777 --> 00:46:38,107

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:46:38,227 --> 00:46:38,767

Katie: on this

:

00:46:38,767 --> 00:46:39,607

in your next life.

:

00:46:39,667 --> 00:46:40,027

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:46:40,087 --> 00:46:40,657

Come on, Sean.

:

00:46:41,017 --> 00:46:41,317

Yeah.

:

00:46:42,167 --> 00:46:45,197

Katie: So the grandparents I

thought were fucking hilarious.

:

00:46:45,297 --> 00:46:46,827

Paul Dooley is her dad.

:

00:46:46,887 --> 00:46:49,377

The grandparents, I guess I'm

not listening their, their names,

:

00:46:49,377 --> 00:46:50,817

but you all know Paul Dooley.

:

00:46:50,817 --> 00:46:52,917

He's extremely famous.

:

00:46:52,947 --> 00:47:00,382

He plays her dad and then her mom is

played by Carlin Glynn which I didn't.

:

00:47:01,297 --> 00:47:07,447

Know her from anything, but she

is the real life mother an actress

:

00:47:07,447 --> 00:47:08,887

in another John Hughes movie.

:

00:47:09,577 --> 00:47:09,877

You guys

:

00:47:10,177 --> 00:47:12,937

Milo: Ooh, the Real Life Mother.

:

00:47:13,432 --> 00:47:14,932

Jamie Fenderson: Stewart Antonio.

:

00:47:14,962 --> 00:47:15,712

What, what, how do I

:

00:47:15,712 --> 00:47:16,072

say it?

:

00:47:16,237 --> 00:47:16,987

Katie: Jamie

:

00:47:17,197 --> 00:47:17,857

Milo: Masterson.

:

00:47:18,817 --> 00:47:19,747

Oh, did you look this up?

:

00:47:19,747 --> 00:47:20,317

At some point?

:

00:47:20,317 --> 00:47:21,127

How did you know that?

:

00:47:21,142 --> 00:47:22,133

Jamie Fenderson: I, I, I

:

00:47:22,138 --> 00:47:23,242

looked it up at some

:

00:47:23,242 --> 00:47:23,602

point.

:

00:47:23,662 --> 00:47:24,202

Yeah.

:

00:47:24,517 --> 00:47:25,147

Milo: Good job.

:

00:47:26,617 --> 00:47:28,417

Jamie's ready for your trivia night.

:

00:47:29,202 --> 00:47:32,467

Katie: That's funny because you were

combining, I knew where you were going.

:

00:47:32,467 --> 00:47:37,217

You were combining Mary Stewart

Masterson with Mary Antonio,

:

00:47:38,192 --> 00:47:40,472

Jamie Fenderson: MAs master Antonio.

:

00:47:40,532 --> 00:47:40,802

Mary,

:

00:47:40,997 --> 00:47:41,567

Katie: Antonio.

:

00:47:41,567 --> 00:47:41,717

Yeah.

:

00:47:41,717 --> 00:47:42,227

It's like a hard

:

00:47:42,327 --> 00:47:42,447

Jamie Fenderson: I

:

00:47:43,217 --> 00:47:43,697

Katie: Yeah.

:

00:47:43,802 --> 00:47:46,502

Jamie Fenderson: I was confusing

all of those, but you get what

:

00:47:46,502 --> 00:47:47,912

I, I, I was getting there.

:

00:47:48,137 --> 00:47:48,617

Katie: Yeah.

:

00:47:49,037 --> 00:47:53,777

And then her sister who's getting married

is played by Blanche Baker, which I

:

00:47:53,777 --> 00:48:00,517

think so her sister's name is Jenny in

this and, she's played by Blanche Baker.

:

00:48:00,517 --> 00:48:03,907

And Baker is the actual

actress's last name too.

:

00:48:04,057 --> 00:48:04,147

Milo: I

:

00:48:04,147 --> 00:48:06,577

mean, should we talk about that

marriage, like she's basically

:

00:48:06,577 --> 00:48:08,737

marrying into an abusive relationship?

:

00:48:09,343 --> 00:48:12,133

Katie: Well, first of all,

yeah, who she marrying?

:

00:48:12,223 --> 00:48:12,883

Who was he?

:

00:48:12,883 --> 00:48:13,963

Who's the actor?

:

00:48:13,963 --> 00:48:14,983

Milo: I recognized him.

:

00:48:14,983 --> 00:48:17,713

I can't remember his name now, but

I knew, I knew it when I watched it.

:

00:48:17,763 --> 00:48:19,113

I can't think of his name on the top head.

:

00:48:19,218 --> 00:48:19,568

Katie: Capos

:

00:48:19,983 --> 00:48:20,313

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:48:20,643 --> 00:48:23,883

Katie: name, he's the janitor

in the breakfast club.

:

00:48:24,033 --> 00:48:24,543

Milo: that's it.

:

00:48:24,873 --> 00:48:25,173

Yep.

:

00:48:25,263 --> 00:48:25,563

Yep.

:

00:48:25,683 --> 00:48:25,983

I rec,

:

00:48:26,028 --> 00:48:28,518

Jamie Fenderson: another

one other John Hughes movie.

:

00:48:28,548 --> 00:48:32,388

'cause he's like one of the,

one of the like two actors who

:

00:48:32,388 --> 00:48:34,128

was in three John Hughes movies.

:

00:48:34,323 --> 00:48:36,213

Katie: He was in weird science also.

:

00:48:36,633 --> 00:48:37,203

Milo: Hmm.

:

00:48:37,368 --> 00:48:37,613

Jamie Fenderson: it is.

:

00:48:38,003 --> 00:48:38,293

Yeah.

:

00:48:38,433 --> 00:48:38,643

Katie: to

:

00:48:38,643 --> 00:48:39,483

in Chicago.

:

00:48:39,483 --> 00:48:39,513

I.

:

00:48:39,633 --> 00:48:40,053

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

:

00:48:40,263 --> 00:48:40,773

Katie: Yeah.

:

00:48:41,163 --> 00:48:41,613

Yeah.

:

00:48:41,673 --> 00:48:46,533

I like him as an actor, but I think they

should have expanded the scenes with his

:

00:48:46,533 --> 00:48:49,083

parents, the dinner with his parents.

:

00:48:49,098 --> 00:48:50,403

Milo: Yeah, that was a good scene.

:

00:48:51,753 --> 00:48:52,503

Yeah, you're right.

:

00:48:52,503 --> 00:48:54,873

They should have had

another scene with them.

:

00:48:56,673 --> 00:48:59,523

Katie: Oh, and there's another

thing, like they offensively

:

00:48:59,523 --> 00:49:01,503

call him the oily bow hunk.

:

00:49:02,253 --> 00:49:04,678

Milo: Yeah, totally.

:

00:49:04,728 --> 00:49:05,808

Jamie Fenderson: I wish somebody would

:

00:49:05,813 --> 00:49:06,513

call me that.

:

00:49:06,518 --> 00:49:06,918

That's

:

00:49:06,918 --> 00:49:07,578

awesome.

:

00:49:07,893 --> 00:49:10,923

Milo: The oily bow hunk are, Jamie, we

can start calling you that if you want.

:

00:49:11,163 --> 00:49:11,463

Katie: And,

:

00:49:11,598 --> 00:49:12,018

Jamie Fenderson: nickname.

:

00:49:12,033 --> 00:49:14,643

Katie: what I actually

remember, I actually do.

:

00:49:14,793 --> 00:49:16,273

And people for let's see.

:

00:49:16,273 --> 00:49:21,973

How would you describe this is like a

Midwestern, like offensive slang term for

:

00:49:24,103 --> 00:49:26,353

like eastern European countries, like

:

00:49:26,713 --> 00:49:27,823

Jamie Fenderson: Oh, okay.

:

00:49:28,663 --> 00:49:30,793

Katie: like at the time

it was Czechoslovakia

:

00:49:31,963 --> 00:49:33,103

Jamie Fenderson: They used to call them

:

00:49:34,938 --> 00:49:35,228

oily

:

00:49:36,253 --> 00:49:36,463

bow hunks.

:

00:49:36,613 --> 00:49:36,853

Katie: Am I

:

00:49:36,913 --> 00:49:37,183

right?

:

00:49:37,183 --> 00:49:38,443

Am I, am I getting that right?

:

00:49:38,473 --> 00:49:39,853

Milo: I'd never heard that.

:

00:49:39,853 --> 00:49:40,093

Jamie Fenderson: West

:

00:49:40,333 --> 00:49:40,903

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:49:41,203 --> 00:49:41,353

the

:

00:49:41,713 --> 00:49:44,143

I'd never heard that term

other than in this film.

:

00:49:44,323 --> 00:49:45,793

That's the only place I've ever heard it.

:

00:49:45,913 --> 00:49:46,393

Jamie Fenderson: like a,

:

00:49:46,423 --> 00:49:47,383

Katie: what that meant?

:

00:49:47,443 --> 00:49:47,683

Jamie Fenderson: no,

:

00:49:47,893 --> 00:49:48,133

Katie: Hunk?

:

00:49:48,943 --> 00:49:49,153

Jamie Fenderson: I

:

00:49:49,213 --> 00:49:51,343

Milo: I mean, I kind of got

it based on what they said and

:

00:49:51,343 --> 00:49:52,513

who they were saying it to.

:

00:49:52,543 --> 00:49:52,903

Right.

:

00:49:52,903 --> 00:49:53,293

Because I.

:

00:49:53,653 --> 00:49:56,778

Jamie Fenderson: like a, like a, a

buff dude who's kind of oiled down and

:

00:49:56,778 --> 00:49:58,138

he's a bo, he's a hunk,

:

00:49:58,138 --> 00:49:58,378

right?

:

00:49:58,933 --> 00:50:00,973

Milo: So, yeah, I was thinking

kind of buff, but like oily and,

:

00:50:00,978 --> 00:50:04,633

and that he's like sweats and eats

a lot of oily foods and stuff.

:

00:50:04,633 --> 00:50:06,103

So I was thinking like gross, oily.

:

00:50:06,643 --> 00:50:06,823

Katie: I

:

00:50:06,823 --> 00:50:08,203

didn't really understand the oily.

:

00:50:08,203 --> 00:50:12,763

bit because like the way they portrayed

the parents were more Italian stereotypes.

:

00:50:13,483 --> 00:50:17,148

But he's, his name's Rudy and

their last name is like something

:

00:50:17,148 --> 00:50:21,508

Czech so in the Midwest, which John

Hughes, this is like set in Chicago.

:

00:50:21,508 --> 00:50:24,268

So in the Midwest there are a

lot of immigrants from those

:

00:50:24,268 --> 00:50:25,288

Eastern European countries.

:

00:50:25,288 --> 00:50:26,998

Like I'm thinking of like Czech.

:

00:50:28,843 --> 00:50:31,183

Hungary, probably a couple others.

:

00:50:31,423 --> 00:50:32,323

Vet those.

:

00:50:32,983 --> 00:50:34,483

Yeah, those immigrants.

:

00:50:35,323 --> 00:50:38,083

Like the slang offensive term was Bo hunk.

:

00:50:38,458 --> 00:50:38,818

Milo: Oh.

:

00:50:39,553 --> 00:50:39,793

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

00:50:40,018 --> 00:50:40,138

Jamie Fenderson: I

:

00:50:40,138 --> 00:50:41,338

better not

:

00:50:41,338 --> 00:50:42,568

go around calling myself a

:

00:50:42,568 --> 00:50:43,108

bow hunk.

:

00:50:43,513 --> 00:50:44,053

Katie: don't.

:

00:50:44,638 --> 00:50:45,568

Milo: well Is bo hunk?

:

00:50:45,568 --> 00:50:45,808

Okay.

:

00:50:45,808 --> 00:50:48,388

Without the oily part, could

we just call Jamie Bo hunk?

:

00:50:48,388 --> 00:50:48,418

I.

:

00:50:48,763 --> 00:50:50,413

Katie: It's like it's like saying whop.

:

00:50:50,788 --> 00:50:51,528

Jamie Fenderson: What's wop?

:

00:50:53,018 --> 00:50:53,318

Katie: It's a

:

00:50:53,348 --> 00:50:56,168

Milo: well that one, I know that's

a defensive term for Italians.

:

00:50:56,168 --> 00:50:57,398

Yeah, I definitely know that one.

:

00:50:57,758 --> 00:50:59,018

Katie: offensive slang.

:

00:50:59,228 --> 00:50:59,588

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:50:59,738 --> 00:51:00,158

Katie: It's, in the

:

00:51:00,158 --> 00:51:00,848

same vein.

:

00:51:01,278 --> 00:51:04,758

But yeah, like the, the scene

with his parents, 'cause they were

:

00:51:04,758 --> 00:51:09,128

over the top, but they seemed more

I again, like I like a, like a

:

00:51:09,128 --> 00:51:12,638

really caricature mob, mob family.

:

00:51:12,753 --> 00:51:13,173

Jamie Fenderson: mm-hmm.

:

00:51:13,928 --> 00:51:16,868

Katie: he and the, even the

Godfather music comes on,

:

00:51:17,528 --> 00:51:17,858

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:51:18,098 --> 00:51:18,518

Katie: like when he

:

00:51:18,518 --> 00:51:21,788

is like, oh my business,

it's little this little that.

:

00:51:21,878 --> 00:51:22,388

And the

:

00:51:22,448 --> 00:51:23,768

Jamie Fenderson: We don't

talk about my business

:

00:51:26,013 --> 00:51:27,278

Milo: I can't talk about it too much.

:

00:51:27,278 --> 00:51:28,328

I'm might have to kill you.

:

00:51:28,483 --> 00:51:28,973

Come on.

:

00:51:30,203 --> 00:51:32,243

Katie: Well, so where were you

going with the, she's marrying

:

00:51:32,243 --> 00:51:34,103

into an abusive relationship.

:

00:51:34,178 --> 00:51:36,458

' Milo: cause he is really quite insulting.

:

00:51:36,938 --> 00:51:39,488

Well, like he's really

quite insulting towards her,

:

00:51:40,148 --> 00:51:44,838

you know, he says something at

some point to her and even the

:

00:51:44,838 --> 00:51:46,518

dad kind of has a reaction to it.

:

00:51:47,133 --> 00:51:50,803

Her dad I don't even remember what he

says to her, but he just kind of comes

:

00:51:50,803 --> 00:51:53,713

across as like very demeaning towards her

:

00:51:53,718 --> 00:51:54,008

' Katie: Well,

:

00:51:54,523 --> 00:51:55,213

Milo: and so,

:

00:51:55,243 --> 00:51:58,543

Katie: mom says something like,

oh, he's gonna have to stop now.

:

00:51:58,543 --> 00:52:00,313

He's marrying her.

:

00:52:01,153 --> 00:52:02,623

He'll have to stop with the,

:

00:52:02,863 --> 00:52:03,343

Milo: you know, yeah.

:

00:52:03,343 --> 00:52:04,993

Sleeping around or something like that.

:

00:52:04,993 --> 00:52:05,863

Yeah, exactly.

:

00:52:06,403 --> 00:52:08,173

And then I think he says something too.

:

00:52:08,773 --> 00:52:09,133

Yeah.

:

00:52:09,223 --> 00:52:12,383

Nothing wrong with Logan or

whatever he says, but yeah, just

:

00:52:12,383 --> 00:52:13,793

kinda like his attitude and stuff.

:

00:52:13,793 --> 00:52:17,153

So maybe not like physically abusive,

but more like kind of emotionally

:

00:52:17,333 --> 00:52:18,563

abusive, is the way I take it.

:

00:52:18,563 --> 00:52:20,143

Like he's gonna put her down a lot.

:

00:52:20,438 --> 00:52:20,728

Yeah.

:

00:52:20,818 --> 00:52:24,118

Katie: basically does kidnap her at the

church 'cause she's like completely out of

:

00:52:24,253 --> 00:52:24,433

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:52:24,433 --> 00:52:25,183

She's b blitzing.

:

00:52:25,183 --> 00:52:25,453

He is like,

:

00:52:26,533 --> 00:52:27,283

come with me.

:

00:52:27,448 --> 00:52:27,778

Katie: the

:

00:52:27,973 --> 00:52:28,273

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:52:29,248 --> 00:52:29,908

Relaxants.

:

00:52:29,908 --> 00:52:30,238

Great.

:

00:52:30,268 --> 00:52:31,708

Let's hit the honeymoon suite.

:

00:52:32,278 --> 00:52:32,340

Jamie Fenderson: in the car.

:

00:52:34,633 --> 00:52:34,873

Katie: yeah.

:

00:52:34,873 --> 00:52:35,803

And even like

:

00:52:35,848 --> 00:52:38,698

Milo: And the parents are like, come

on, go get married, get outta the house.

:

00:52:39,418 --> 00:52:41,368

We don't care that you're

all hopped up on meds.

:

00:52:41,863 --> 00:52:44,473

Katie: no, they're trying to

offload one of those kids,

:

00:52:44,488 --> 00:52:44,848

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:52:45,043 --> 00:52:45,313

Katie: her be

:

00:52:45,313 --> 00:52:46,273

somebody else's

:

00:52:46,738 --> 00:52:47,608

Milo: we need the space.

:

00:52:47,608 --> 00:52:48,778

Too many kids in this house.

:

00:52:49,483 --> 00:52:50,323

Katie: Indeed.

:

00:52:51,403 --> 00:52:54,903

but like her being on her period,

one of the kids is even like, Oh that

:

00:52:54,903 --> 00:52:56,433

should make for an interesting honeymoon

:

00:52:56,508 --> 00:52:57,108

Milo: Oh yeah,

:

00:52:57,153 --> 00:52:59,523

Katie: I'm like, wow.

:

00:52:59,523 --> 00:53:00,033

I don't know.

:

00:53:00,033 --> 00:53:00,603

I don't know.

:

00:53:00,918 --> 00:53:02,148

Milo: he, I think he says that.

:

00:53:02,148 --> 00:53:03,198

The husband says that,

:

00:53:03,828 --> 00:53:04,308

doesn't he?

:

00:53:04,578 --> 00:53:05,598

I think it's the husband.

:

00:53:05,628 --> 00:53:09,078

They say because they overhear it and

then he makes some kind of comment

:

00:53:09,078 --> 00:53:11,598

or something when he's standing there

in the church waiting like, whoa.

:

00:53:11,808 --> 00:53:12,948

Make very interesting outta mood.

:

00:53:14,118 --> 00:53:16,638

Katie: four muscle

relaxers for your period.

:

00:53:17,058 --> 00:53:17,448

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:20,028

Katie: come on, them on.

:

00:53:20,028 --> 00:53:21,228

I'll take 'em, I guess,

:

00:53:21,503 --> 00:53:21,793

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah,

:

00:53:22,308 --> 00:53:23,178

Milo: On your wedding day.

:

00:53:23,178 --> 00:53:23,658

Yeah,

:

00:53:23,718 --> 00:53:24,678

Jamie Fenderson: else going on there.

:

00:53:25,848 --> 00:53:26,718

Milo: that's what I'm saying.

:

00:53:26,718 --> 00:53:31,398

Katie: seriously, who needs a muscle

relaxer for their period and then Four of

:

00:53:31,428 --> 00:53:32,088

Milo: Four of them.

:

00:53:32,898 --> 00:53:33,348

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

00:53:33,858 --> 00:53:34,188

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:53:34,323 --> 00:53:35,313

Jamie Fenderson: and I can't comment

:

00:53:35,313 --> 00:53:35,463

on

:

00:53:35,463 --> 00:53:36,303

that, but

:

00:53:36,363 --> 00:53:36,693

Milo: No,

:

00:53:36,693 --> 00:53:36,933

Jamie Fenderson: take

:

00:53:37,023 --> 00:53:37,293

Milo: no.

:

00:53:37,338 --> 00:53:37,678

Jamie Fenderson: for it.

:

00:53:37,713 --> 00:53:39,093

Milo: I mean, I'll take

your, I'll take the four.

:

00:53:39,093 --> 00:53:42,453

I'll take the muscle relaxants, but

can't comment on the other other part.

:

00:53:42,513 --> 00:53:42,753

Yeah,

:

00:53:42,888 --> 00:53:43,398

Katie: the drugs,

:

00:53:43,473 --> 00:53:44,193

Milo: exactly.

:

00:53:45,531 --> 00:53:48,921

Katie: Also, I don't know, again, maybe

this is I feel like a thing back in the

:

00:53:48,921 --> 00:53:51,474

day, people, got married very quickly.

:

00:53:51,654 --> 00:53:55,874

She's like trying to say that I

actually like this one longer than I

:

00:53:55,874 --> 00:53:58,304

like most of them, and he loves me.

:

00:53:58,949 --> 00:54:03,659

It's been six months with the same person.

:

00:54:04,124 --> 00:54:04,584

Jamie Fenderson: Six months.

:

00:54:05,699 --> 00:54:07,049

Milo: Clearly we should get married

:

00:54:07,649 --> 00:54:08,669

Katie: Like the

:

00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:10,259

Milo: in those six months.

:

00:54:10,679 --> 00:54:10,949

Katie: in.

:

00:54:10,949 --> 00:54:11,399

Yeah.

:

00:54:11,459 --> 00:54:15,449

And they're from meeting

to marriage six months.

:

00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:19,643

Milo: Yeah, when it's love, you just know

and you gotta get married right away.

:

00:54:20,423 --> 00:54:20,933

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

00:54:21,368 --> 00:54:24,488

Jamie Fenderson: in general

in:

:

00:54:25,268 --> 00:54:26,648

Do you remember that at all?

:

00:54:27,683 --> 00:54:28,493

Katie: That's what I wondered.

:

00:54:28,493 --> 00:54:30,503

That's what I I kind of think so.

:

00:54:31,103 --> 00:54:32,693

Milo: But within six months though,

:

00:54:33,593 --> 00:54:35,003

I still think that's pretty quick.

:

00:54:35,513 --> 00:54:35,843

Katie: I feel

:

00:54:35,903 --> 00:54:36,173

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:54:36,173 --> 00:54:36,953

Katie: happened a lot.

:

00:54:37,253 --> 00:54:37,613

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:54:38,113 --> 00:54:38,403

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

00:54:38,603 --> 00:54:39,083

Katie: yeah.

:

00:54:40,253 --> 00:54:40,523

Milo: yeah.

:

00:54:40,613 --> 00:54:42,533

Maybe she was pregnant and

they just didn't tell anybody.

:

00:54:42,623 --> 00:54:42,923

Oh no.

:

00:54:42,953 --> 00:54:44,033

'cause she had her period.

:

00:54:44,273 --> 00:54:44,633

Katie: Yeah.

:

00:54:44,693 --> 00:54:45,203

Milo: Nevermind.

:

00:54:46,538 --> 00:54:47,198

Jamie Fenderson: Deb bumped.

:

00:54:48,113 --> 00:54:48,413

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:54:48,443 --> 00:54:48,863

Nevermind.

:

00:54:50,213 --> 00:54:51,833

Katie: Hey, we know how biology works

:

00:54:51,953 --> 00:54:52,583

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:54:52,793 --> 00:54:52,853

Katie: show.

:

00:54:53,584 --> 00:54:57,964

Jamie Fenderson: I really like, I really

like former Ted, though, the geek,

:

00:54:59,074 --> 00:55:04,834

and here's why he's such a geek, but

he's just got this awesome confidence.

:

00:55:06,139 --> 00:55:07,189

Yo, what's up baby?

:

00:55:07,189 --> 00:55:07,759

How you doing?

:

00:55:07,809 --> 00:55:08,889

I'm just like, that's the,

:

00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:10,509

love that kid.

:

00:55:10,989 --> 00:55:14,649

Like he's a geek, he's,

he's, he's just geeking out.

:

00:55:14,649 --> 00:55:17,379

But he's, he, he's

comfortable in his own skin.

:

00:55:17,379 --> 00:55:18,579

He is like yeah, am I a geek?

:

00:55:18,579 --> 00:55:20,499

Sure thing, but I'm awesome sauce.

:

00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:23,409

I'm a, I'm a little bottle of

awesome sauce and I know it.

:

00:55:24,159 --> 00:55:26,199

That's why I really like his character.

:

00:55:26,199 --> 00:55:29,989

I like, I like the actor Anthony

Michael Hall, who plays him.

:

00:55:29,989 --> 00:55:32,769

'cause he does look like kind

of a little geek he's 15, but

:

00:55:32,769 --> 00:55:34,269

he hasn't hit puberty yet.

:

00:55:35,019 --> 00:55:37,179

he's a geek, but he's just owning himself,

:

00:55:37,509 --> 00:55:38,139

you know?

:

00:55:38,174 --> 00:55:39,414

Katie: like the leader of his little geek

:

00:55:39,519 --> 00:55:39,669

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

00:55:40,074 --> 00:55:42,624

Milo: I would imagine John Cusack

would be the leader of the group.

:

00:55:42,624 --> 00:55:43,104

I mean, he's.

:

00:55:43,779 --> 00:55:45,129

John Cusack, come on.

:

00:55:45,249 --> 00:55:46,509

Katie: thinking the same thing, Milo.

:

00:55:46,509 --> 00:55:51,769

So yes, you guys, John Cusack plays a

friend and his sister Joan is in this

:

00:55:51,889 --> 00:55:52,279

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:55:52,789 --> 00:55:53,389

Katie: which

:

00:55:53,899 --> 00:55:56,209

Milo: Also could be considered

an offensive character

:

00:55:57,109 --> 00:55:59,839

Katie: she wear, she has a back

brace and is played for hilarity

:

00:55:59,839 --> 00:56:02,059

and it kind of was, I mean, she,

:

00:56:03,079 --> 00:56:04,514

Milo: trying to drink

water outta the fountain.

:

00:56:04,969 --> 00:56:08,119

Katie: she, she can't drink a

beer, she can't drink water.

:

00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:11,329

She is just like, she was, she's funny.

:

00:56:11,329 --> 00:56:13,909

I I love Joan Cusack, as an actress,

:

00:56:13,984 --> 00:56:14,274

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:56:15,199 --> 00:56:16,789

Katie: even seeing her in this tiny role.

:

00:56:17,189 --> 00:56:17,579

But Yeah.

:

00:56:17,629 --> 00:56:22,309

And the headgear, the Anthony

Michael Hall has like just back

:

00:56:22,309 --> 00:56:24,139

braces and headgear in general.

:

00:56:24,169 --> 00:56:26,959

Like how, how eighties.

:

00:56:27,324 --> 00:56:30,229

Milo: So does he carry his

headgear around with him though?

:

00:56:30,329 --> 00:56:31,499

But on the headgear?

:

00:56:31,709 --> 00:56:34,019

'cause he wakes up in the car

with the girl the next day.

:

00:56:34,019 --> 00:56:34,349

Right.

:

00:56:34,349 --> 00:56:35,609

And he is wearing his headgear.

:

00:56:36,224 --> 00:56:39,044

So did he go home and get it at

some point or does he just carry

:

00:56:39,044 --> 00:56:42,044

it around with him just in case

he happens to pass out somewhere?

:

00:56:42,674 --> 00:56:43,694

Katie: Great question.

:

00:56:43,904 --> 00:56:45,314

Here's how I'm answering it.

:

00:56:45,434 --> 00:56:50,264

They were, this is like a Friday night

and they were all sleeping over at

:

00:56:50,264 --> 00:56:51,614

one of the geek's house, remember?

:

00:56:51,644 --> 00:56:53,234

'cause later he goes over there, so they

:

00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:53,659

Milo: Oh, it,

:

00:56:53,714 --> 00:56:55,574

Katie: sleepover, so he

probably had it with him

:

00:56:55,809 --> 00:56:56,099

Milo: okay.

:

00:56:56,599 --> 00:56:56,899

All right.

:

00:56:57,134 --> 00:56:58,394

Katie: in prep for the sleepover.

:

00:56:58,394 --> 00:56:59,414

That's how I'm answering it.

:

00:56:59,659 --> 00:56:59,949

Milo: Sure.

:

00:57:00,099 --> 00:57:00,749

I'll allow it.

:

00:57:01,369 --> 00:57:03,674

Jamie Fenderson: But isn't that

such a teenager thing though?

:

00:57:03,674 --> 00:57:04,874

John Hughes gets it.

:

00:57:05,144 --> 00:57:08,564

You have braces or you have a

back brace, or you have headgear.

:

00:57:08,594 --> 00:57:11,564

I remember my son for a while

had this big thing on his.

:

00:57:12,464 --> 00:57:15,014

Face to move his jaws or whatever.

:

00:57:15,014 --> 00:57:15,614

Just like,

:

00:57:15,769 --> 00:57:16,059

Katie: Uhhuh

:

00:57:17,054 --> 00:57:19,244

Jamie Fenderson: it's just,

just an awkward time, right?

:

00:57:19,244 --> 00:57:23,024

Like your parents are trying to make

sure your body isn't disfigured, so

:

00:57:23,024 --> 00:57:27,404

they're giving you these things to,

you're growing, you're a teenager,

:

00:57:27,404 --> 00:57:31,904

you've got braces and back braces

and, and headgear and all this stuff.

:

00:57:31,904 --> 00:57:33,314

That's a very teenager thing.

:

00:57:34,049 --> 00:57:34,769

Milo: Which is the,

:

00:57:34,814 --> 00:57:34,964

Jamie Fenderson: on

:

00:57:34,964 --> 00:57:35,264

top

:

00:57:35,264 --> 00:57:35,984

of that, you gotta

:

00:57:35,999 --> 00:57:36,119

Milo: yeah,

:

00:57:36,164 --> 00:57:36,674

Jamie Fenderson: your acne

:

00:57:36,674 --> 00:57:37,214

medicine.

:

00:57:37,514 --> 00:57:37,844

It's just

:

00:57:37,844 --> 00:57:38,714

awkward time,

:

00:57:38,759 --> 00:57:39,839

Milo: it's the worst time.

:

00:57:39,839 --> 00:57:42,419

And of course every kid at

school makes fun of you for it.

:

00:57:42,419 --> 00:57:42,809

Yeah.

:

00:57:42,979 --> 00:57:43,399

Jamie Fenderson: that's

:

00:57:43,409 --> 00:57:44,009

Milo: Geez.

:

00:57:44,024 --> 00:57:45,284

Jamie Fenderson: Johnny

this in this movie.

:

00:57:45,284 --> 00:57:47,114

I hadn't seen it a while,

but that's why I really?

:

00:57:47,114 --> 00:57:51,074

like it because it captures a lot of

the awkwardness of teenagers, right?

:

00:57:51,284 --> 00:57:54,674

That being a teenager, like you

worry about the what the boy thinks

:

00:57:54,674 --> 00:57:56,804

about You Unlike when you're our age.

:

00:57:56,804 --> 00:57:57,584

You're like, I don't give a

:

00:57:57,584 --> 00:57:58,604

shit what that guy thinks

:

00:57:58,604 --> 00:57:58,934

about

:

00:57:58,934 --> 00:57:59,054

me.

:

00:57:59,664 --> 00:57:59,954

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:57:59,984 --> 00:58:00,914

Jamie Fenderson: can go pound sand.

:

00:58:01,619 --> 00:58:02,549

Katie: You are right.

:

00:58:02,669 --> 00:58:07,829

'cause I'm so far removed from being

15, that I'm like, I don't care.

:

00:58:07,829 --> 00:58:11,639

Like she's concerned about not filling

out her dress, like her boobs, like she

:

00:58:11,639 --> 00:58:13,529

has boobs, but they're not big boobs.

:

00:58:13,589 --> 00:58:16,769

And she's like jealous of the

older, you know, the senior

:

00:58:16,769 --> 00:58:19,729

girls and was the boy like me.

:

00:58:19,729 --> 00:58:24,929

And even in the, the scene where she's

like writing the note, it's like an

:

00:58:24,929 --> 00:58:29,099

anonymous questionnaire about basically

sexual things and she's answering it

:

00:58:29,099 --> 00:58:30,599

and then she's supposed to pass it back.

:

00:58:31,709 --> 00:58:38,579

And the massive embarrassment I

would die if the boy that I had a

:

00:58:38,579 --> 00:58:43,469

crush on read the note that I just

said I wanted to have sex with him

:

00:58:44,299 --> 00:58:44,589

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:58:45,089 --> 00:58:45,209

Katie: I

:

00:58:45,209 --> 00:58:47,639

mean, just disaster waiting.

:

00:58:47,789 --> 00:58:48,089

Yeah.

:

00:58:48,089 --> 00:58:52,589

So I had forgotten and it

really took me back to being 15.

:

00:58:53,444 --> 00:58:56,014

Jamie Fenderson: Because you're so

self-conscious and I see it in my

:

00:58:56,074 --> 00:59:01,114

teen son, he like really, he cares

if he smells or not, and he's always

:

00:59:01,114 --> 00:59:02,464

wearing like cologne

:

00:59:02,464 --> 00:59:02,974

and stuff.

:

00:59:02,974 --> 00:59:03,094

I'm

:

00:59:03,244 --> 00:59:03,844

Milo: Totally.

:

00:59:03,904 --> 00:59:07,054

I totally work alone when I

was young, like a teenager.

:

00:59:07,414 --> 00:59:08,164

Gotta smell good.

:

00:59:08,254 --> 00:59:08,914

Do my hair.

:

00:59:08,914 --> 00:59:10,534

Jamie Fenderson: like a,

like a, whore house in here.

:

00:59:10,534 --> 00:59:11,254

What's going on?

:

00:59:12,034 --> 00:59:13,504

are you gonna sell some watches?

:

00:59:13,504 --> 00:59:14,164

Jesus.

:

00:59:14,494 --> 00:59:15,814

But he's like, I don't wanna smell bad.

:

00:59:15,814 --> 00:59:18,724

I'm gonna go see my girlfriend, dude,

how could you possibly smell bad?

:

00:59:18,724 --> 00:59:20,734

You took a bath in Cologne.

:

00:59:21,124 --> 00:59:22,444

Just can you ease up on that?

:

00:59:22,624 --> 00:59:25,444

Because back then I remember

though, I didn't wanna smell either.

:

00:59:25,444 --> 00:59:26,674

Now I'm like, yeah,

:

00:59:26,674 --> 00:59:27,334

I'm all right.

:

00:59:27,549 --> 00:59:27,839

Milo: Yeah,

:

00:59:27,934 --> 00:59:28,354

Jamie Fenderson: enough.

:

00:59:28,539 --> 00:59:29,439

Milo: go a couple more days.

:

00:59:29,669 --> 00:59:30,199

It's all good.

:

00:59:30,379 --> 00:59:30,979

Katie: No, I, I

:

00:59:31,234 --> 00:59:32,164

Jamie Fenderson: But you care

:

00:59:32,449 --> 00:59:32,629

Katie: I

:

00:59:32,674 --> 00:59:33,304

Jamie Fenderson: when you're a teenager.

:

00:59:33,679 --> 00:59:34,609

Katie: wearing the cologne.

:

00:59:34,609 --> 00:59:36,589

'cause I remember loving

:

00:59:36,589 --> 00:59:38,539

the scent that my boyfriend wore.

:

00:59:38,539 --> 00:59:40,039

And like when I'd wear his shirt you

:

00:59:40,119 --> 00:59:40,339

Milo: Mm.

:

00:59:40,489 --> 00:59:40,819

Katie: a shirt

:

00:59:41,089 --> 00:59:41,379

Milo: Yeah.

:

00:59:41,479 --> 00:59:41,989

Katie: I'm like, oh, it

:

00:59:41,989 --> 00:59:43,069

smells like him.

:

00:59:43,159 --> 00:59:44,630

You know, I.

:

00:59:44,630 --> 00:59:45,500

Jamie Fenderson: care.

:

00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,000

They care that teenagers care.

:

00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,170

That's why I like this movie.

:

00:59:48,170 --> 00:59:50,750

It took me back to like

teenager hood where you care.

:

00:59:50,750 --> 00:59:54,440

It would be, they all care about

stuff like that, and it's nice.

:

00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:55,460

I, you know,

:

00:59:55,610 --> 00:59:56,720

I, they're

:

00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:57,410

awkward

:

00:59:57,505 --> 00:59:57,965

Milo: It kind.

:

00:59:58,010 --> 01:00:00,500

It is nice, but it also

makes you really insecure.

:

01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:05,480

I never want to go to that level

of insecurity ever again, you know?

:

01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:06,830

Jamie Fenderson: you're farmer, Ted, the

:

01:00:06,830 --> 01:00:07,850

geek man, he doesn't

:

01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:08,210

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:00:08,215 --> 01:00:08,570

Jamie Fenderson: insecurities.

:

01:00:08,570 --> 01:00:08,660

He's

:

01:00:09,110 --> 01:00:09,620

like, here's my

:

01:00:09,620 --> 01:00:10,010

headgear,

:

01:00:10,010 --> 01:00:10,580

whatever.

:

01:00:10,730 --> 01:00:10,940

I'm

:

01:00:10,940 --> 01:00:11,570

awesome.

:

01:00:11,690 --> 01:00:14,060

Milo: he's also almost

a sexual predator guy.

:

01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:15,560

Does not take no for an answer.

:

01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:16,070

Come on.

:

01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,020

Like how many times does she say no?

:

01:00:18,020 --> 01:00:20,450

She's like, no, no, no.

:

01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:21,440

Get off me.

:

01:00:21,530 --> 01:00:22,340

No.

:

01:00:22,550 --> 01:00:25,640

You know, and then he is like,

oh sure, I'll take your passed

:

01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:26,870

out drunk girlfriend home.

:

01:00:26,870 --> 01:00:27,470

Just throw them.

:

01:00:27,475 --> 01:00:28,430

Yeah, no problem.

:

01:00:28,730 --> 01:00:31,880

He's more worried about driving

the car than the girl, you know?

:

01:00:33,110 --> 01:00:34,490

He's like, that's a nice car.

:

01:00:34,490 --> 01:00:35,360

I can't drive that.

:

01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,310

Can't I just throw your girlfriend?

:

01:00:37,670 --> 01:00:38,060

You know?

:

01:00:38,060 --> 01:00:38,510

And

:

01:00:38,750 --> 01:00:38,990

Jamie Fenderson: on the

:

01:00:39,045 --> 01:00:39,245

bus.

:

01:00:39,590 --> 01:00:40,790

Milo: on the bus exactly.

:

01:00:41,180 --> 01:00:43,490

Katie: like this night,

they're at a dance.

:

01:00:44,285 --> 01:00:46,685

From, from Anthony,

Michael Hall's character.

:

01:00:46,745 --> 01:00:48,125

He makes a bet.

:

01:00:48,335 --> 01:00:49,355

This is just wild.

:

01:00:49,455 --> 01:00:54,225

The events that happen that he does,

that he should feel responsible for.

:

01:00:54,975 --> 01:00:59,205

He bets his loser friends that he

is basically gonna have sex that

:

01:00:59,205 --> 01:01:02,585

night then and there with Samantha.

:

01:01:04,235 --> 01:01:07,805

they somehow end up in the

shop room in a half built car.

:

01:01:08,555 --> 01:01:09,305

Yeah, Milo.

:

01:01:09,305 --> 01:01:10,865

He comes onto her like

:

01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:12,155

Milo: It is hard.

:

01:01:12,275 --> 01:01:14,945

Katie: mos her and she's like, get off.

:

01:01:15,395 --> 01:01:18,485

And he's like, I think he

maybe even said, I'm sorry.

:

01:01:18,485 --> 01:01:20,165

And then she said, it's okay.

:

01:01:20,435 --> 01:01:26,135

He takes it's okay as permission

to start doing it again.

:

01:01:26,495 --> 01:01:31,845

And, because he actually does like her and

I think he does respect her, he tells her.

:

01:01:32,340 --> 01:01:35,340

This little secret that he

has with his friends, and she

:

01:01:35,340 --> 01:01:37,770

gave him the panties to use.

:

01:01:39,425 --> 01:01:39,715

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:01:39,945 --> 01:01:40,395

Jamie Fenderson: him too.

:

01:01:40,395 --> 01:01:40,995

Actually.

:

01:01:40,995 --> 01:01:42,225

I think she likes him too.

:

01:01:42,375 --> 01:01:45,435

She doesn't want to get it on with

him, but I think she respects his

:

01:01:45,495 --> 01:01:46,305

tenacity.

:

01:01:47,460 --> 01:01:47,910

Milo: I dunno.

:

01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,090

Katie: then all these,

like freshmen boys pay to

:

01:01:51,180 --> 01:01:52,920

Milo: Yes, exactly.

:

01:01:53,340 --> 01:01:54,000

$1.

:

01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:54,960

You wanna see the panties?

:

01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:55,770

$1.

:

01:01:56,340 --> 01:02:01,980

Katie: which by the way, what, how, how

are they buying this as proof of sex?

:

01:02:02,730 --> 01:02:04,530

He could have just bought those,

:

01:02:04,650 --> 01:02:05,100

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:02:06,270 --> 01:02:09,480

Or found him somewhere

or ran to the store.

:

01:02:09,930 --> 01:02:10,350

Yeah.

:

01:02:10,530 --> 01:02:11,400

Could have got him anywhere.

:

01:02:12,570 --> 01:02:12,780

No.

:

01:02:12,870 --> 01:02:13,560

Katie: So then later

:

01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,830

in the evening, he's in a

car with yet another woman

:

01:02:17,340 --> 01:02:19,080

Milo: After trading the panties for her.

:

01:02:20,310 --> 01:02:21,660

Katie: That's right.

:

01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:23,220

make a deal.

:

01:02:23,220 --> 01:02:23,490

Tell

:

01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:24,030

Milo: Yes.

:

01:02:24,390 --> 01:02:24,930

Katie: Milo.

:

01:02:24,930 --> 01:02:25,800

Tell us about

:

01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,140

this, deal that Jake.

:

01:02:28,215 --> 01:02:30,165

I, he trades his girl.

:

01:02:30,215 --> 01:02:31,385

This is just wild.

:

01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:36,920

Milo: He's literally like his

girlfriend's passed out drunk and he

:

01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:42,350

finds Anthony Michael Hall, hi, in

his house and he's, Anthony's making

:

01:02:42,350 --> 01:02:48,530

him a drink and, and mentions the

panties and he is like, Hey, I'll trade

:

01:02:48,530 --> 01:02:52,550

you those pan, gimme the panties and

I'll let you take my girlfriend home.

:

01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,020

And he is like, well, I can't do that.

:

01:02:54,020 --> 01:02:56,090

And he's like, oh no, she's passed out.

:

01:02:56,090 --> 01:02:57,590

She wouldn't know me from you.

:

01:02:57,740 --> 01:02:58,430

It's fine.

:

01:02:58,940 --> 01:02:59,450

Go for it.

:

01:03:01,060 --> 01:03:03,995

Katie: And then he even tells her I'm

:

01:03:04,145 --> 01:03:04,385

Milo: am.

:

01:03:04,595 --> 01:03:04,835

Yeah.

:

01:03:05,145 --> 01:03:06,585

Katie: To con Now

:

01:03:06,885 --> 01:03:07,185

Milo: Yes.

:

01:03:07,185 --> 01:03:08,565

So she wakes up for a second.

:

01:03:08,805 --> 01:03:14,265

Katie: it, but did you mean, did, was

he giving permission to sleep with her?

:

01:03:14,415 --> 01:03:16,305

Milo: That's the way I was taking it.

:

01:03:16,515 --> 01:03:17,145

I'm like,

:

01:03:17,985 --> 01:03:19,095

I, it was definitely

:

01:03:19,395 --> 01:03:19,785

implied.

:

01:03:19,935 --> 01:03:20,415

Katie: it,

:

01:03:20,415 --> 01:03:20,685

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:03:20,715 --> 01:03:21,795

'cause, 'cause, yes.

:

01:03:22,185 --> 01:03:25,905

So once they dump her in the back

of the car, she wakes up for a

:

01:03:25,905 --> 01:03:30,165

second, she looks at him and Jake's

like, what, who, who are you?

:

01:03:30,165 --> 01:03:32,655

And Jake's like, he's me and I'm you.

:

01:03:32,775 --> 01:03:33,555

He's me.

:

01:03:34,095 --> 01:03:35,805

And she's like, okay, that's good.

:

01:03:35,805 --> 01:03:36,675

And passes back out.

:

01:03:36,675 --> 01:03:37,365

And he is like, yeah.

:

01:03:37,665 --> 01:03:40,625

Because even, even you know, the

geek is kind of like, are you sure?

:

01:03:40,685 --> 01:03:42,485

And Jake's like, yeah, that's good.

:

01:03:43,430 --> 01:03:45,755

I, I, I've, I've got a

new girl that I like now.

:

01:03:45,755 --> 01:03:47,225

So do whatever you want with this one.

:

01:03:47,985 --> 01:03:49,655

Katie: She's used up, I've had her before.

:

01:03:49,685 --> 01:03:50,075

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:03:50,195 --> 01:03:50,465

Yeah.

:

01:03:51,005 --> 01:03:51,905

I have less interest.

:

01:03:52,070 --> 01:03:53,990

Jamie Fenderson: sick of all

her partying and stuff, and

:

01:03:53,990 --> 01:03:56,090

maybe he wants a girl who's like

:

01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:57,170

a little

:

01:03:57,170 --> 01:03:57,410

more

:

01:03:57,410 --> 01:03:58,040

stable

:

01:03:58,325 --> 01:03:58,715

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:03:58,940 --> 01:03:59,600

Jamie Fenderson: nicer.

:

01:04:00,275 --> 01:04:01,805

Milo: And everybody knows if she's a,

:

01:04:02,390 --> 01:04:03,580

Katie: and care about.

:

01:04:03,580 --> 01:04:05,590

That's, you know,

:

01:04:05,710 --> 01:04:07,150

Jamie Fenderson: Maybe he's maturing.

:

01:04:07,450 --> 01:04:07,750

yeah.

:

01:04:07,945 --> 01:04:08,185

Milo: yeah.

:

01:04:08,230 --> 01:04:09,660

Jamie Fenderson: getting, he's maturing as

:

01:04:09,660 --> 01:04:10,020

a guy.

:

01:04:10,965 --> 01:04:11,205

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:04:11,205 --> 01:04:14,195

It's very mature to ditch your

drunk girlfriend in a car with

:

01:04:14,195 --> 01:04:17,075

some geek implying that the

geek can have sex with her.

:

01:04:18,180 --> 01:04:18,470

Jamie Fenderson: He's

:

01:04:18,605 --> 01:04:21,125

Milo: Do do whatever you want,

kid it, it doesn't matter to me.

:

01:04:21,125 --> 01:04:23,075

Mm-hmm.

:

01:04:23,315 --> 01:04:26,315

Katie: you know, he and square man.

:

01:04:27,305 --> 01:04:31,535

also, did you guys notice that when

they're putting, it takes two of them,

:

01:04:31,535 --> 01:04:35,971

they, they're collaborating on this

kidnapping extravaganza, putting her

:

01:04:35,971 --> 01:04:40,051

in the car with another pack of beer.

:

01:04:40,256 --> 01:04:40,476

Jamie Fenderson: Oh.

:

01:04:40,681 --> 01:04:41,161

Katie: This is the

:

01:04:41,311 --> 01:04:42,031

Milo: He grabs it.

:

01:04:42,031 --> 01:04:42,391

Yeah.

:

01:04:43,021 --> 01:04:45,181

Katie: and he is like,

here's some roadies for you.

:

01:04:47,911 --> 01:04:49,441

And she continues to drink that.

:

01:04:49,481 --> 01:04:52,421

Was he doing that on purpose

to maintain her level of

:

01:04:52,916 --> 01:04:53,876

Milo: I think so.

:

01:04:53,876 --> 01:04:56,486

It is like, you don't want

her, like it was again implied.

:

01:04:56,486 --> 01:04:57,536

You don't want her waking up.

:

01:04:57,536 --> 01:04:59,456

So, just, you know, too much.

:

01:04:59,516 --> 01:05:00,896

So just keep feeding her beers.

:

01:05:00,896 --> 01:05:03,626

Have a few for yourself and it's all good.

:

01:05:03,836 --> 01:05:06,446

And drive the car that you

really barely know how to drive

:

01:05:06,446 --> 01:05:07,916

without your driver's license.

:

01:05:08,456 --> 01:05:09,866

Yeah, it's all good.

:

01:05:10,256 --> 01:05:11,216

Jamie Fenderson: Hey, but as long as you

:

01:05:11,216 --> 01:05:12,446

don't drop those F

:

01:05:12,446 --> 01:05:13,016

bombs,

:

01:05:13,256 --> 01:05:13,706

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:05:13,706 --> 01:05:14,936

Don't drop any f pump

:

01:05:15,221 --> 01:05:16,811

Katie: The, again, again, you guys.

:

01:05:16,811 --> 01:05:17,081

Yes.

:

01:05:17,081 --> 01:05:18,491

This is a PG rated movie.

:

01:05:18,611 --> 01:05:18,911

It is

:

01:05:18,956 --> 01:05:20,546

Jamie Fenderson: take your kids to see it.

:

01:05:20,996 --> 01:05:22,346

Underage drinking,

:

01:05:22,826 --> 01:05:23,876

Milo: fun for the whole family.

:

01:05:24,326 --> 01:05:24,656

Yeah.

:

01:05:26,246 --> 01:05:26,486

Jamie Fenderson: but they

:

01:05:26,486 --> 01:05:27,386

don't have, they only have

:

01:05:27,386 --> 01:05:27,866

one F

:

01:05:27,866 --> 01:05:28,226

bomb.

:

01:05:28,226 --> 01:05:28,406

It's

:

01:05:28,561 --> 01:05:28,851

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:05:29,315 --> 01:05:30,455

Katie: but he needs proof of this.

:

01:05:30,455 --> 01:05:36,995

So he goes to his friends and asks if

they have film in the camera, so eighties.

:

01:05:37,430 --> 01:05:40,160

Milo: Again, very inappropriate.

:

01:05:40,700 --> 01:05:42,680

Hey, look, I got this drunk girl.

:

01:05:42,710 --> 01:05:44,150

Let's take my picture with her.

:

01:05:44,450 --> 01:05:44,690

Yeah,

:

01:05:45,575 --> 01:05:48,640

Katie: And then they assume that

they've already slept together and

:

01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,975

they're like, two in one night.

:

01:05:50,975 --> 01:05:53,315

You're a legend.

:

01:05:53,848 --> 01:05:56,608

This like 11-year-old looking boy,

:

01:05:57,073 --> 01:05:57,553

Milo: yeah.

:

01:05:58,243 --> 01:05:59,383

He's such a stud.

:

01:05:59,503 --> 01:06:00,463

Such a stud.

:

01:06:00,733 --> 01:06:02,083

No longer the geek.

:

01:06:02,383 --> 01:06:03,313

He's the stud.

:

01:06:03,508 --> 01:06:03,838

Jamie Fenderson: geek.

:

01:06:03,838 --> 01:06:04,078

He's

:

01:06:04,183 --> 01:06:04,663

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:06:05,383 --> 01:06:06,013

That's why.

:

01:06:06,073 --> 01:06:06,858

That's why he is.

:

01:06:07,615 --> 01:06:10,785

Katie: There's a few other really

inappropriate things that I wanted to I'm

:

01:06:10,785 --> 01:06:14,345

sure that you, that you caught one is.

:

01:06:14,585 --> 01:06:20,855

on more than one occasion, they

use the F word that rhymes with bag

:

01:06:21,785 --> 01:06:21,965

Jamie Fenderson: Oh

:

01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:23,090

Milo: Oh.

:

01:06:23,090 --> 01:06:23,540

yeah.

:

01:06:24,305 --> 01:06:25,955

Katie: multiple times, like as an insult.

:

01:06:25,985 --> 01:06:31,855

Do you, I seriously do remember that word

being used as lame, like to mean lame.

:

01:06:32,980 --> 01:06:34,450

Milo: I remember that

from my youth as well.

:

01:06:34,450 --> 01:06:39,580

Like we didn't throw it around as

Yeah, it was, it was to the level of

:

01:06:39,580 --> 01:06:44,230

calling somebody lame or you know, a

geek or a loser, you know, like you

:

01:06:44,230 --> 01:06:46,240

would say it to your friends like, oh,

:

01:06:46,510 --> 01:06:46,960

you know,

:

01:06:47,260 --> 01:06:47,680

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:48,279 --> 01:06:48,850

Milo: kinda stuff.

:

01:06:48,850 --> 01:06:54,040

Like we it, back then, it wasn't

necessarily like a hard insult.

:

01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:55,870

It was a kind of a soft insult.

:

01:06:56,815 --> 01:07:01,345

Katie: But it's we're so far, it's, isn't

it funny how once it's removed from your

:

01:07:01,345 --> 01:07:04,045

vernacular, it stands out so much when

:

01:07:04,050 --> 01:07:04,340

Jamie Fenderson: Okay.

:

01:07:04,435 --> 01:07:04,705

Katie: hear

:

01:07:04,705 --> 01:07:05,365

it again?

:

01:07:07,165 --> 01:07:07,855

That,

:

01:07:10,225 --> 01:07:16,105

again, always all white people in

these movies, Samantha is talking

:

01:07:16,105 --> 01:07:20,245

about what would be her perfect, you

know her, she's complaining to her

:

01:07:20,245 --> 01:07:23,395

friend that her family, she says, my

family fucking forgot my birthday.

:

01:07:23,815 --> 01:07:25,765

And her friend was like, well,

what did, what did you want?

:

01:07:25,765 --> 01:07:28,685

A trans am in the driveway with

a bow around it or something.

:

01:07:29,495 --> 01:07:35,225

then she's like talking about her perfect

birthday, about like a, a cute guy in a

:

01:07:35,225 --> 01:07:38,255

Trans Am or something, or and a black one.

:

01:07:38,975 --> 01:07:43,385

And her friend goes, A black guy like.

:

01:07:44,315 --> 01:07:51,154

as if that so shocked that she would

actually want to like date a black boy.

:

01:07:51,365 --> 01:07:53,135

And she was like, God, no.

:

01:07:53,195 --> 01:07:57,185

The TransAm a pink boy do.

:

01:07:57,185 --> 01:07:58,595

Do you remember her saying that?

:

01:07:58,975 --> 01:07:59,930

Milo: I don't remember that.

:

01:07:59,930 --> 01:08:01,580

That must, I must have missed that one.

:

01:08:01,580 --> 01:08:02,060

Yeah.

:

01:08:02,180 --> 01:08:02,779

Oh, wow.

:

01:08:02,779 --> 01:08:03,470

That's funny.

:

01:08:04,670 --> 01:08:05,029

Yeah.

:

01:08:05,045 --> 01:08:05,375

Katie: school

:

01:08:05,375 --> 01:08:05,825

hallway.

:

01:08:05,825 --> 01:08:07,715

And I was like, oh my God.

:

01:08:07,810 --> 01:08:08,500

Milo: Yeah,

:

01:08:08,605 --> 01:08:09,895

Jamie Fenderson: even find a black kid

:

01:08:09,895 --> 01:08:10,375

anyway?

:

01:08:10,404 --> 01:08:10,675

'cause

:

01:08:10,779 --> 01:08:11,080

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:12,070

Not in that school.

:

01:08:12,265 --> 01:08:13,140

Jamie Fenderson: suburbs that,

:

01:08:13,535 --> 01:08:14,355

Milo: Not in that school.

:

01:08:14,425 --> 01:08:16,345

Katie: that's why her

friend was so shocked.

:

01:08:16,395 --> 01:08:18,585

There aren't any black people in within

:

01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:19,020

Jamie Fenderson: Are you,

:

01:08:19,095 --> 01:08:19,245

Katie: of

Jamie Fenderson: you,

gonna go up to the south

:

01:08:21,194 --> 01:08:21,615

:

01:08:21,615 --> 01:08:22,335

Like where are you

:

01:08:22,335 --> 01:08:22,515

Milo: Yeah.

01:08:24,045 --> 01:08:24,705

Katie: Oh my God.

:

01:08:24,825 --> 01:08:28,245

But then she said, no,

:

01:08:28,380 --> 01:08:29,310

Milo: Hmm.

:

01:08:30,149 --> 01:08:32,490

To make nice and white, pink

01:08:33,569 --> 01:08:34,740

01:08:34,875 --> 01:08:35,595

01:08:36,059 --> 01:08:36,899

Pale skin.

:

01:08:37,125 --> 01:08:38,354

Katie: up the boy in the car.

:

01:08:38,715 --> 01:08:39,165

I don't

:

01:08:39,165 --> 01:08:39,404

know.

:

01:08:40,950 --> 01:08:41,220

Milo: Okay.

:

01:08:41,475 --> 01:08:41,684

Katie: T

:

01:08:41,684 --> 01:08:42,434

reference.

:

01:08:43,830 --> 01:08:44,040

Milo: Oh,

:

01:08:44,580 --> 01:08:45,000

what was that?

:

01:08:45,135 --> 01:08:46,305

Katie: is:

:

01:08:46,559 --> 01:08:47,010

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:08:47,250 --> 01:08:47,880

Jamie Fenderson: the fool.

:

01:08:48,104 --> 01:08:48,225

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

01:08:48,495 --> 01:08:51,285

So Rocky, I don't know,

actually the eight.

:

01:08:51,285 --> 01:08:51,915

So the 18.

:

01:08:52,050 --> 01:08:52,559

Milo: 18.

:

01:08:52,575 --> 01:08:53,925

Katie: the 18 would be on

:

01:08:54,029 --> 01:08:54,600

Jamie Fenderson: A team.

:

01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:55,050

Rocky.

:

01:08:55,050 --> 01:08:56,350

Rocky Rocky three.

:

01:08:56,350 --> 01:08:57,309

would've been out,

:

01:08:57,535 --> 01:08:58,135

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

01:08:58,154 --> 01:08:58,675

Jamie Fenderson: 84.

:

01:08:58,990 --> 01:09:00,190

I think maybe even his

:

01:09:00,190 --> 01:09:01,240

serial was out by

:

01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:01,600

then.

:

01:09:02,380 --> 01:09:02,680

Milo: Hmm.

:

01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:02,979

Jamie Fenderson: T.

:

01:09:02,979 --> 01:09:03,609

Serial,

:

01:09:03,715 --> 01:09:04,165

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

01:09:04,330 --> 01:09:04,990

Jamie Fenderson: that was kind of

:

01:09:04,990 --> 01:09:05,470

big

:

01:09:05,770 --> 01:09:05,950

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:09:05,950 --> 01:09:07,149

He was quite popular then.

:

01:09:07,555 --> 01:09:09,115

Katie: Yeah, he's wild.

:

01:09:09,595 --> 01:09:11,126

Milo: Did you, so here's a question.

:

01:09:11,426 --> 01:09:13,196

So if, unless I miss something.

:

01:09:13,196 --> 01:09:17,935

So, you know, when the, when Jake

goes to her house to find her and

:

01:09:18,006 --> 01:09:22,836

long Duck dong answers the door,

he is got a black eye and he starts

:

01:09:22,836 --> 01:09:26,015

freaking out like Jake had hit him.

:

01:09:26,046 --> 01:09:29,225

And they say, there's a conversation where

he is like, are you gonna hit me again?

:

01:09:29,225 --> 01:09:29,886

Or something like that.

:

01:09:30,306 --> 01:09:31,446

' But there's no scene.

:

01:09:31,566 --> 01:09:31,926

Katie: me or

:

01:09:32,015 --> 01:09:33,876

Milo: Yeah, you beat me,

but there's no scene.

:

01:09:33,876 --> 01:09:37,475

So they obviously cut a scene outta

the film at some point in time

:

01:09:38,106 --> 01:09:41,746

where Jake beats up long duck dong.

:

01:09:42,706 --> 01:09:43,366

Katie: A hundred percent.

:

01:09:43,366 --> 01:09:44,656

I actually rewound it Milo.

:

01:09:44,656 --> 01:09:46,306

'cause I'm like, wait,

did I miss something?

:

01:09:46,725 --> 01:09:47,145

Yeah.

:

01:09:47,356 --> 01:09:48,916

Milo: So it must, I'm guessing

it must have happened at the

:

01:09:48,916 --> 01:09:50,656

party maybe or something.

:

01:09:50,866 --> 01:09:54,286

But, so Jake also was a dick for, besides.

:

01:09:55,186 --> 01:09:56,356

Pimping out his girl.

:

01:09:56,836 --> 01:10:01,586

He also beats up the Asian

foreign exchange student.

:

01:10:02,101 --> 01:10:02,391

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:10:02,426 --> 01:10:02,966

For no reason.

:

01:10:02,966 --> 01:10:03,866

What did he do?

:

01:10:04,796 --> 01:10:06,326

Milo: I don't, he might have

done something obnoxious,

:

01:10:06,326 --> 01:10:07,346

but Yeah, that's the thing.

:

01:10:07,346 --> 01:10:09,626

I want that, I wanna find

out what that cut scene is.

:

01:10:09,836 --> 01:10:10,286

Jamie Fenderson: crime.

:

01:10:10,556 --> 01:10:10,976

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:10:11,246 --> 01:10:11,786

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:10:11,846 --> 01:10:12,236

Yeah.

:

01:10:12,596 --> 01:10:12,836

You are

:

01:10:12,836 --> 01:10:13,646

right Milo.

:

01:10:14,196 --> 01:10:16,716

But I gotta say dreamy.

:

01:10:16,716 --> 01:10:16,956

This is Jake?

:

01:10:17,496 --> 01:10:18,006

Milo: Jake?

:

01:10:18,846 --> 01:10:19,296

Hmm?

:

01:10:19,986 --> 01:10:21,306

Katie: Did you guys not think so?

:

01:10:21,366 --> 01:10:21,936

Milo: No,

:

01:10:21,966 --> 01:10:22,086

Katie: was?

:

01:10:22,086 --> 01:10:22,476

Like,

:

01:10:22,611 --> 01:10:25,161

Jamie Fenderson: In fact, that's

why they chose him, because actually

:

01:10:25,161 --> 01:10:29,241

I guess he was so, shy in the

audition and they were like, we

:

01:10:29,241 --> 01:10:30,681

don't know if this guy's gonna work.

:

01:10:30,681 --> 01:10:32,661

but they were all like, ah,

this guy's dreamy though.

:

01:10:32,661 --> 01:10:34,281

We gotta work with this guy somehow.

:

01:10:34,646 --> 01:10:34,936

Yeah.

:

01:10:35,076 --> 01:10:36,996

Katie: so, but he's so pretty

:

01:10:37,101 --> 01:10:37,161

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

01:10:38,376 --> 01:10:38,781

Milo: I guess.

:

01:10:38,916 --> 01:10:39,096

Katie: he

:

01:10:39,096 --> 01:10:41,586

really, he really, I mean, he, he, yeah.

:

01:10:41,586 --> 01:10:44,766

Jake from, from, Mm-hmm.

:

01:10:45,006 --> 01:10:45,096

Mm-hmm.

:

01:10:45,261 --> 01:10:45,411

Jamie Fenderson: him.

:

01:10:45,411 --> 01:10:50,571

If I were a 16-year-old redhead in a

suburban Chicago school, I'd be like damn.

:

01:10:51,396 --> 01:10:53,256

Katie: like the perfect eighties rich kid.

:

01:10:54,136 --> 01:10:55,876

This movie also checks all the boxes.

:

01:10:55,876 --> 01:10:57,286

There's a dance

:

01:10:57,736 --> 01:10:58,996

that they go to, there's a

:

01:10:58,996 --> 01:11:00,856

party at the Rich kid's house.

:

01:11:01,126 --> 01:11:06,396

There's nerds and jocks That know, so

I don't know why that's like a trope

:

01:11:06,396 --> 01:11:09,816

in eighties movies, but they seem

to always have beef with each other.

:

01:11:10,806 --> 01:11:11,226

I don't,

:

01:11:11,451 --> 01:11:12,651

Milo: That was real.

:

01:11:12,651 --> 01:11:15,681

I remember my high school,

the nerds and jocks did not,

:

01:11:16,101 --> 01:11:16,731

Jamie Fenderson: Yep.

:

01:11:16,791 --> 01:11:17,991

Milo: there was a separation.

:

01:11:18,531 --> 01:11:18,891

Yeah.

:

01:11:19,071 --> 01:11:20,331

Katie: because like in real,

:

01:11:20,931 --> 01:11:21,561

Milo: Oh, real life.

:

01:11:21,561 --> 01:11:22,161

It's real.

:

01:11:22,191 --> 01:11:22,491

Katie: real.

:

01:11:22,491 --> 01:11:29,121

life, like it seems like would you're

not enough for me to even care about.

:

01:11:29,121 --> 01:11:30,441

That seems like how they would

:

01:11:31,371 --> 01:11:32,901

Milo: You must have went to a nice school.

:

01:11:33,771 --> 01:11:36,651

Jamie Fenderson: got wealthy

like working for tech companies,

:

01:11:36,651 --> 01:11:37,701

and the jocks are like,

:

01:11:38,571 --> 01:11:38,961

I don't know,

:

01:11:38,961 --> 01:11:39,321

selling

:

01:11:39,321 --> 01:11:39,981

insurance.

:

01:11:40,076 --> 01:11:40,366

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:11:40,461 --> 01:11:41,031

Jamie Fenderson: won out in The,

:

01:11:41,031 --> 01:11:41,301

long

:

01:11:41,301 --> 01:11:41,511

run.

:

01:11:42,051 --> 01:11:42,441

Milo: True.

:

01:11:42,666 --> 01:11:42,886

The,

:

01:11:42,951 --> 01:11:43,221

Jamie Fenderson: got the

:

01:11:43,376 --> 01:11:44,166

Milo: dirts did win.

:

01:11:44,946 --> 01:11:45,366

Mm-hmm.

:

01:11:45,561 --> 01:11:46,491

Jamie Fenderson: the geeks were right.

:

01:11:47,661 --> 01:11:51,941

Katie: Well, whereas going with that, Milo

is like, Jake's friend, even when they're

:

01:11:51,941 --> 01:11:56,021

in the gym, which was a weird scene,

they're like doing pull-ups or something.

:

01:11:56,111 --> 01:12:02,531

And his friend, basically when he's

asked about, do you know Samantha Baker?

:

01:12:02,921 --> 01:12:03,911

What do you think about her?

:

01:12:03,971 --> 01:12:05,381

And his friend is like, I don't

:

01:12:06,036 --> 01:12:06,326

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:12:06,671 --> 01:12:09,701

Katie: that's, how they think

of people that aren't of their.

:

01:12:10,526 --> 01:12:11,786

Caliber or whatever.

:

01:12:11,786 --> 01:12:12,076

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

01:12:12,116 --> 01:12:12,836

And their, and their C

:

01:12:13,076 --> 01:12:14,126

clique or their

:

01:12:14,186 --> 01:12:14,726

group.

:

01:12:15,156 --> 01:12:15,446

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:12:16,076 --> 01:12:20,306

Jamie Fenderson: I think you find a lot

less groups that way with today's kids.

:

01:12:20,966 --> 01:12:24,226

But it's weird 'cause like my kids,

my son's a teenager and I'll drop

:

01:12:24,226 --> 01:12:25,786

him off at school or whatever.

:

01:12:25,786 --> 01:12:29,656

Or he is hanging out with friends

and I'm like, it used to be geeks.

:

01:12:29,656 --> 01:12:32,896

The geeks like you see in this

movie, we're kind of a subset

:

01:12:32,956 --> 01:12:37,246

of, of the kids, but seems like

there's so many more of them now.

:

01:12:37,816 --> 01:12:40,126

Like maybe they're the majority now.

:

01:12:41,116 --> 01:12:42,166

It's a lot of weird

:

01:12:43,156 --> 01:12:43,306

man.

:

01:12:44,381 --> 01:12:44,961

Katie: That's a good

:

01:12:44,961 --> 01:12:45,161

point.

:

01:12:45,351 --> 01:12:45,841

there's

:

01:12:45,946 --> 01:12:46,876

Jamie Fenderson: kids are weird.

:

01:12:46,876 --> 01:12:48,166

Katie: sub genres.

:

01:12:49,381 --> 01:12:49,741

Jamie Fenderson: Kids.

:

01:12:49,861 --> 01:12:50,131

Kids

:

01:12:50,216 --> 01:12:53,216

Milo: Kids have figured out, they're like,

wait a minute, if I'm a geek, I'm gonna be

:

01:12:53,216 --> 01:12:55,106

rich and successful and get the hot girl.

:

01:12:55,526 --> 01:12:59,246

Whereas if I'm a jock, I'm gonna spend the

rest of my life remembering that time in

:

01:12:59,246 --> 01:13:03,416

high school when I, you know, threw the

football touchdown or what I, you know,

:

01:13:04,451 --> 01:13:04,811

Katie: Peak in

:

01:13:04,931 --> 01:13:05,261

Jamie Fenderson: you're gonna

:

01:13:05,261 --> 01:13:05,441

be

:

01:13:05,486 --> 01:13:06,776

Milo: long-term success.

:

01:13:06,776 --> 01:13:07,736

They're thinking ahead.

:

01:13:08,066 --> 01:13:09,201

Yeah, they're thinking ahead.

:

01:13:10,151 --> 01:13:10,991

Jamie Fenderson: You're gonna be Uncle

:

01:13:10,991 --> 01:13:11,951

Rico or, or

:

01:13:12,001 --> 01:13:12,331

Milo: Oh yeah,

:

01:13:12,436 --> 01:13:12,886

Jamie Fenderson: Bundy

:

01:13:14,761 --> 01:13:15,151

Milo: exactly.

:

01:13:15,151 --> 01:13:16,201

They don't wanna be elk Rico.

:

01:13:16,516 --> 01:13:17,716

Katie: exactly.

:

01:13:17,866 --> 01:13:18,086

Milo: Yep.

:

01:13:18,136 --> 01:13:19,126

Jamie Fenderson: selling shoes.

:

01:13:19,246 --> 01:13:20,506

Remember that time you threw a

:

01:13:20,506 --> 01:13:21,346

touchdown in high

:

01:13:21,346 --> 01:13:21,976

school

:

01:13:22,186 --> 01:13:22,576

selling

:

01:13:22,746 --> 01:13:23,166

Milo: Mm-hmm.

:

01:13:24,136 --> 01:13:24,946

Jamie Fenderson: jocks, you lose,

:

01:13:25,066 --> 01:13:25,286

Milo: Yep.

:

01:13:26,446 --> 01:13:27,076

Jamie Fenderson: you lose.

:

01:13:28,471 --> 01:13:31,526

Katie: There's a few other people

that I wanted to point out.

:

01:13:31,706 --> 01:13:32,756

I was looking for it.

:

01:13:32,756 --> 01:13:39,036

The reverend I did see, so in the

wedding scene when Jenny, she's like,

:

01:13:39,246 --> 01:13:42,906

needs to sit down in the pew 'cause

she's so out of it on muscle relaxer.

:

01:13:42,906 --> 01:13:44,706

She's like, I just need to

sit and rest for a minute.

:

01:13:45,036 --> 01:13:47,766

She sits next to Agnes Belushi.

:

01:13:47,856 --> 01:13:49,776

Who is that actress in,

:

01:13:49,896 --> 01:13:50,116

Milo: Oh

:

01:13:50,196 --> 01:13:50,826

Katie: next to her?

:

01:13:50,886 --> 01:13:51,186

Is

01:13:51,186 --> 01:13:52,626

John and James

:

01:13:54,081 --> 01:13:54,471

Milo: wow.

:

01:13:54,681 --> 01:13:56,481

So they got her little gig in the film

:

01:13:57,031 --> 01:14:01,021

Katie: The, the priest or the

reverend is played by Bill Murray's

:

01:14:01,021 --> 01:14:03,901

brother Brian Doyle Murray.

:

01:14:04,741 --> 01:14:05,101

thought that was

:

01:14:05,281 --> 01:14:08,131

Milo: the less famous Murray,

but he's still in a lot of stuff.

:

01:14:08,131 --> 01:14:09,031

Brian Doyle Murphy.

:

01:14:09,031 --> 01:14:13,031

If you look at he's shows up in a

lot of films in supporting roles.

:

01:14:13,031 --> 01:14:13,061

I.

:

01:14:13,706 --> 01:14:14,066

Jamie Fenderson: page

:

01:14:14,066 --> 01:14:15,176

is a mile long.

:

01:14:15,266 --> 01:14:15,476

He,

:

01:14:15,476 --> 01:14:15,896

he's in

:

01:14:16,196 --> 01:14:16,466

Milo: Yeah,

:

01:14:16,646 --> 01:14:16,976

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah,

:

01:14:16,976 --> 01:14:18,296

he's in so many things.

:

01:14:18,416 --> 01:14:19,706

You remember Groundhog Day?

:

01:14:19,706 --> 01:14:21,206

He was like, the, the mayor.

:

01:14:21,881 --> 01:14:22,121

Katie: Well,

:

01:14:22,286 --> 01:14:22,706

Jamie Fenderson: he's,

:

01:14:23,111 --> 01:14:23,561

Katie: like,

:

01:14:23,756 --> 01:14:26,436

Milo: of course he's gonna, Bill's

like, get my brother in here.

:

01:14:26,586 --> 01:14:26,856

Jamie Fenderson: many

:

01:14:26,856 --> 01:14:27,546

things.

:

01:14:27,786 --> 01:14:28,026

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:14:28,491 --> 01:14:28,731

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:14:28,731 --> 01:14:31,611

I guess that track, I mean,

that tracks also Jamie Gertz.

:

01:14:31,611 --> 01:14:32,601

Did you guys see her?

:

01:14:32,856 --> 01:14:34,236

Jamie Fenderson: Oh yeah.

:

01:14:35,226 --> 01:14:39,216

That, that's like she just had a little

cameo, kind of a little role, but I,

:

01:14:39,221 --> 01:14:42,696

I was so, I was surprised to see, did

it, 'cause I lo, I love Jamie Gertz.

:

01:14:43,306 --> 01:14:47,176

I think she's kind of the underrated

kind of movie dream girl of the eighties.

:

01:14:47,401 --> 01:14:47,941

Katie: Same.

:

01:14:48,076 --> 01:14:50,716

Jamie Fenderson: so it was

cool to see her in there.

:

01:14:50,716 --> 01:14:51,886

I'm, I'm a big fan.

:

01:14:53,371 --> 01:14:54,181

Katie: I am too.

:

01:14:54,961 --> 01:14:59,491

Now we already covered Ferris Bueller's

day off, and so we were talking about

:

01:14:59,731 --> 01:15:03,931

the, there was meaning behind all of

the license plates in Ferris Bueller's

:

01:15:03,931 --> 01:15:07,801

Day off, and that seems to be a thing

that John Hughes does well, this being

:

01:15:07,801 --> 01:15:09,841

his first movie that he directed.

:

01:15:10,291 --> 01:15:11,461

You guys see that?

:

01:15:11,461 --> 01:15:15,745

So, Jake's car, which was a pretty

sweet car, license plate was two

:

01:15:15,745 --> 01:15:22,021

one eight five zero, which is John

th,:

:

01:15:23,521 --> 01:15:26,551

And Molly Greenwald's birthday

is also February 18th.

:

01:15:27,426 --> 01:15:27,646

Milo: Oh,

:

01:15:27,796 --> 01:15:27,946

Jamie Fenderson: Oh,

:

01:15:27,951 --> 01:15:28,151

wow.

:

01:15:28,346 --> 01:15:28,766

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

01:15:28,831 --> 01:15:29,221

Milo: didn't know that.

:

01:15:30,691 --> 01:15:31,741

Katie: That house.

:

01:15:33,301 --> 01:15:33,511

Yeah.

:

01:15:33,511 --> 01:15:37,141

Again, I don't know, I think

I'm, again, this is my conflating

:

01:15:37,231 --> 01:15:39,031

pretty in pink, I think with.

:

01:15:39,721 --> 01:15:40,561

16 candles.

:

01:15:40,561 --> 01:15:45,091

'cause I recalled them being poor

and they're definitely not poor.

:

01:15:45,301 --> 01:15:47,221

That was a giant house.

:

01:15:47,861 --> 01:15:49,211

I guess there's six bedrooms.

:

01:15:49,211 --> 01:15:52,991

It was a brick house in

Northwestern Evanston, Illinois.

:

01:15:53,711 --> 01:16:01,531

And in:

quarter million dollars, which would be

:

01:16:01,531 --> 01:16:04,291

like, I don't know, 3 million Probably.

:

01:16:04,706 --> 01:16:05,206

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

01:16:05,316 --> 01:16:05,476

Milo: Probably.

:

01:16:05,671 --> 01:16:06,211

Yeah, actually.

:

01:16:06,211 --> 01:16:06,871

Probably tripled.

:

01:16:07,996 --> 01:16:08,926

Jamie Fenderson: I mean, it sounds like

:

01:16:08,926 --> 01:16:09,526

a lot, but

:

01:16:09,526 --> 01:16:10,426

these days it's

:

01:16:10,606 --> 01:16:10,966

not a

:

01:16:10,966 --> 01:16:11,326

lot.

:

01:16:11,326 --> 01:16:11,536

But in,

:

01:16:11,696 --> 01:16:11,986

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:16:12,886 --> 01:16:13,966

Jamie Fenderson: it probably, it was.

:

01:16:13,966 --> 01:16:14,476

It's a lot.

:

01:16:15,091 --> 01:16:16,681

Katie: in a Chicago suburb.

:

01:16:18,421 --> 01:16:18,691

Yeah.

:

01:16:18,691 --> 01:16:21,571

That house probably would

cost about $3 million.

:

01:16:21,841 --> 01:16:22,171

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:16:22,216 --> 01:16:22,786

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah,

:

01:16:23,491 --> 01:16:24,691

Milo: Yeah, those are expensive.

:

01:16:25,381 --> 01:16:26,131

Katie: extreme.

:

01:16:26,596 --> 01:16:28,696

Jamie Fenderson: But her

room wasn't in that house.

:

01:16:29,446 --> 01:16:34,426

room, was it in like a part of the,

the gym that they were in, where

:

01:16:34,426 --> 01:16:38,026

they filmed dances and stuff in this

school, which they tore down and.

:

01:16:38,776 --> 01:16:42,706

Now it's a community college, but I

guess that high school that they did

:

01:16:42,706 --> 01:16:44,506

it in had been closed for four years.

:

01:16:44,506 --> 01:16:48,016

So they filmed it in there, but

her room was, was a set in there.

:

01:16:48,166 --> 01:16:51,016

And I guess Molly Ringwald had

a lot of her own stuff from

:

01:16:51,016 --> 01:16:53,536

her room in that fake room.

:

01:16:53,806 --> 01:16:57,466

So you get a little, a little

inside into what Molly Ringwald,

:

01:16:57,466 --> 01:17:00,256

the real Molly Greenwald's room

might've looked like 'cause she had

:

01:17:00,256 --> 01:17:01,426

a lot of her own stuff in there.

:

01:17:02,041 --> 01:17:02,281

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:17:02,281 --> 01:17:06,251

And like her binder like, a lot of band

names and stuff that she was into on

:

01:17:06,251 --> 01:17:08,050

her, written on her school binder and

:

01:17:08,306 --> 01:17:08,606

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

01:17:08,606 --> 01:17:13,106

And in fact, I guess she and Anthony

Michael Hall didn't get along at first.

:

01:17:13,106 --> 01:17:17,726

So John Hughes sent them off to go buy

music together at the mall and they

:

01:17:17,906 --> 01:17:20,096

ended up like liking the same music.

:

01:17:20,336 --> 01:17:23,216

And one of the bands she had

written on there was this kind of

:

01:17:23,216 --> 01:17:24,446

one of the bands that they liked.

:

01:17:24,896 --> 01:17:26,425

So they kind of bonded over music.

:

01:17:27,556 --> 01:17:32,351

Katie: which worked out 'cause they

were the only two that were underage.

:

01:17:32,381 --> 01:17:32,591

So

:

01:17:32,666 --> 01:17:33,356

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

01:17:33,401 --> 01:17:34,181

Katie: this movie.

:

01:17:34,556 --> 01:17:36,536

Let's see, I think it was in Skokie.

:

01:17:36,566 --> 01:17:42,236

They were, you know, housed at this

hotel in Skokie on the weekends

:

01:17:42,236 --> 01:17:48,126

everybody else that was of age went to

clubs and Molly Ringwald and Anthony

:

01:17:48,126 --> 01:17:50,326

Michael Hall being 15 couldn't do that.

:

01:17:50,536 --> 01:17:53,836

So I guess you know, after

they bonded at over music, they

:

01:17:53,836 --> 01:17:56,776

crashed Bar Mitzvahs at the hotel,

:

01:17:57,106 --> 01:17:57,396

Milo: Nice.

:

01:17:58,711 --> 01:18:00,721

Hang out at the hotel, hit the pool.

:

01:18:00,871 --> 01:18:01,050

Jamie Fenderson: like a

:

01:18:01,141 --> 01:18:02,251

Milo: Go to the bar mitzvahs.

:

01:18:02,401 --> 01:18:04,081

Jamie Fenderson: John Hughes, movie plot

:

01:18:04,081 --> 01:18:04,501

line.

:

01:18:04,591 --> 01:18:04,891

Like

:

01:18:04,981 --> 01:18:05,550

Milo: does,

:

01:18:05,771 --> 01:18:06,011

Katie: does.

:

01:18:06,421 --> 01:18:09,541

Jamie Fenderson: 15-year-old kids who

can't go out 'cause everybody's an adult.

:

01:18:09,541 --> 01:18:10,321

They go Crash bar

:

01:18:10,351 --> 01:18:10,831

MVAs.

:

01:18:11,041 --> 01:18:11,611

Then you could make a

:

01:18:11,611 --> 01:18:11,851

John

:

01:18:11,851 --> 01:18:12,451

Hughes movie

:

01:18:12,631 --> 01:18:12,901

Milo: yeah.

:

01:18:12,931 --> 01:18:14,911

Jamie Fenderson: That's the whole

premise of a John Hughes movie.

:

01:18:15,696 --> 01:18:15,986

Yeah.

:

01:18:16,861 --> 01:18:17,596

Katie: listeners, I would like

:

01:18:17,596 --> 01:18:22,516

to point out that the reason I know that

is because I started reading the book

:

01:18:22,516 --> 01:18:25,106

that I mentioned a couple episodes ago.

:

01:18:25,881 --> 01:18:28,371

That I told you, I would give you

some tidbits from, you couldn't

:

01:18:28,371 --> 01:18:32,391

ignore me if you tried the Brat

Pack, John Hughes and their impact

:

01:18:32,391 --> 01:18:34,881

on a generation by Susanna Gora.

:

01:18:35,151 --> 01:18:35,811

So yeah.

:

01:18:36,111 --> 01:18:36,981

Fun, fun fact.

:

01:18:37,701 --> 01:18:38,721

Jamie Fenderson: that

looks like a good one.

:

01:18:39,037 --> 01:18:43,567

Katie: Did you guys see that Dan

note the embarrassing, like she's

:

01:18:43,567 --> 01:18:44,947

writing, it's like asking questions.

:

01:18:44,947 --> 01:18:45,727

Have you done it?

:

01:18:45,967 --> 01:18:47,407

Who do you wanna do it with?

:

01:18:47,407 --> 01:18:50,707

Like very, at the top it

says confidential, but

:

01:18:50,707 --> 01:18:52,027

confidential is spelled wrong.

:

01:18:52,537 --> 01:18:53,437

Milo: Oh, I didn't notice that.

:

01:18:55,597 --> 01:18:56,257

That's awesome.

:

01:18:57,337 --> 01:18:58,416

Katie: It is very typical too.

:

01:18:58,477 --> 01:19:01,717

I don't know if that was like an accident

or if they purposefully did that.

:

01:19:02,227 --> 01:19:03,007

Milo: Oh, that'd be funny.

:

01:19:03,007 --> 01:19:03,307

Jamie Fenderson: way.

:

01:19:03,307 --> 01:19:04,177

It's awesome.

:

01:19:04,177 --> 01:19:04,357

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:19:04,357 --> 01:19:04,837

Either way.

:

01:19:04,837 --> 01:19:05,317

It's good.

:

01:19:05,527 --> 01:19:05,767

' Jamie Fenderson: it.

:

01:19:05,767 --> 01:19:06,372

It's so perfect.

:

01:19:07,672 --> 01:19:08,032

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:19:08,452 --> 01:19:12,442

I don't think note passing was a

thing in German schools, by the way.

:

01:19:12,472 --> 01:19:14,422

'cause when we watched this,

my wife said something about

:

01:19:14,422 --> 01:19:15,982

the note and she's like, what?

:

01:19:16,072 --> 01:19:19,372

And I'm like, yeah, they're like writing

notes and passing notes in class.

:

01:19:19,702 --> 01:19:21,592

And so she didn't get

what they were doing.

:

01:19:21,592 --> 01:19:23,182

She was like, is that

like a quiz or something?

:

01:19:23,182 --> 01:19:24,922

I'm like, no, they're not

gonna ask that on a quiz.

:

01:19:24,922 --> 01:19:27,826

It's like she's passing

notes to her friend.

:

01:19:28,636 --> 01:19:28,996

Yeah,

:

01:19:29,371 --> 01:19:29,611

Katie: I mean,

:

01:19:29,611 --> 01:19:31,081

it was a quiz, but like a friend

:

01:19:31,425 --> 01:19:32,236

Milo: it was a friend quiz.

:

01:19:32,236 --> 01:19:32,536

Yeah.

:

01:19:32,731 --> 01:19:33,181

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:19:33,226 --> 01:19:33,436

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:19:33,436 --> 01:19:34,006

Jamie Fenderson: all kinds

:

01:19:34,006 --> 01:19:34,726

of notes in

:

01:19:34,726 --> 01:19:36,646

Milo: Oh, that was

totally a thing back then.

:

01:19:36,766 --> 01:19:37,336

Jamie Fenderson: texted

:

01:19:37,336 --> 01:19:37,846

back then.

:

01:19:37,846 --> 01:19:38,026

You'd

:

01:19:38,146 --> 01:19:38,476

Milo: Mm-hmm.

:

01:19:39,406 --> 01:19:39,616

Jamie Fenderson: but

:

01:19:39,616 --> 01:19:40,006

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:19:40,006 --> 01:19:40,546

Jamie Fenderson: it in German

:

01:19:40,546 --> 01:19:41,206

schools.

:

01:19:41,446 --> 01:19:42,316

Milo: I guess not.

:

01:19:42,456 --> 01:19:42,856

Katie: over there.

:

01:19:43,276 --> 01:19:43,876

Milo: She didn't,

:

01:19:44,326 --> 01:19:44,776

yeah.

:

01:19:45,016 --> 01:19:45,556

Jamie Fenderson: nine.

:

01:19:45,826 --> 01:19:48,916

Milo: You get smacked with

a ruler if you get caught.

:

01:19:49,306 --> 01:19:50,986

She's passing a note in Germany.

:

01:19:51,286 --> 01:19:52,636

Jamie Fenderson: Mercedes-Benz by

:

01:19:52,636 --> 01:19:53,386

passing notes.

:

01:19:53,566 --> 01:19:53,836

Milo: No.

:

01:19:54,376 --> 01:19:56,175

You will study and you've learn.

:

01:19:56,221 --> 01:19:57,751

Katie: serious civilization

:

01:19:57,796 --> 01:19:58,126

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:19:58,888 --> 01:20:02,098

I like how one of the questions

was like, have you ever had sex?

:

01:20:02,518 --> 01:20:05,488

And one was, and it was kind of

like maybe or something like that.

:

01:20:05,488 --> 01:20:06,238

Or how do you know?

:

01:20:06,268 --> 01:20:06,928

How do you tell?

:

01:20:07,288 --> 01:20:07,768

Or what

:

01:20:07,963 --> 01:20:08,532

Katie: sort

:

01:20:08,848 --> 01:20:09,958

Milo: sort of That's what it was.

:

01:20:09,958 --> 01:20:10,228

Yeah,

:

01:20:10,363 --> 01:20:10,693

Katie: or, I

:

01:20:10,798 --> 01:20:10,858

Milo: of.

:

01:20:10,993 --> 01:20:11,473

Katie: so.

:

01:20:11,473 --> 01:20:12,043

I think,

:

01:20:12,223 --> 01:20:12,958

Milo: I think so.

:

01:20:13,138 --> 01:20:13,288

Yeah.

:

01:20:13,288 --> 01:20:13,588

I think it was.

:

01:20:13,588 --> 01:20:14,128

I think so.

:

01:20:14,532 --> 01:20:20,493

Katie: that I feel like is such a

preteen, teen thing to be like, well,

:

01:20:20,493 --> 01:20:23,344

I've done some stuff, but, you know, I,

:

01:20:23,868 --> 01:20:25,008

Milo: It's like, is that Sack?

:

01:20:25,683 --> 01:20:26,343

Katie: Yeah,

:

01:20:26,448 --> 01:20:28,998

Milo: Yeah, that was pretty funny.

:

01:20:30,063 --> 01:20:33,873

Katie: So I do very much like the, the

person that they cast as Jake Ryan.

:

01:20:33,873 --> 01:20:38,913

However, in an alternate universe,

I would've loved this too.

:

01:20:39,663 --> 01:20:43,353

You're never gonna guess in a million

years who was super close to getting it.

:

01:20:43,353 --> 01:20:44,733

It was down to two people.

:

01:20:45,943 --> 01:20:52,903

Our Michael Schofield or

shuffling and Vigo Mortenson.

:

01:20:53,202 --> 01:20:54,463

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah,

:

01:20:54,778 --> 01:20:55,348

Milo: that I,

:

01:20:55,513 --> 01:20:56,563

Katie: Yeah,

:

01:20:57,178 --> 01:20:58,018

Milo: is a stud.

:

01:20:58,483 --> 01:21:00,343

Katie: I lo I adore.

:

01:21:00,403 --> 01:21:00,733

Yeah.

:

01:21:00,763 --> 01:21:03,913

I mean, and I, an exception

for me 'cause I'm not a blonde,

:

01:21:04,228 --> 01:21:04,288

Milo: Hmm.

:

01:21:04,333 --> 01:21:05,173

Katie: not into the blondes,

:

01:21:05,173 --> 01:21:07,243

but dude, Vigo Mortenson.

:

01:21:07,243 --> 01:21:07,303

Yeah.

:

01:21:08,103 --> 01:21:08,393

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:21:08,623 --> 01:21:12,913

Jamie Fenderson: Molly really

wanted him to to be the guy too.

:

01:21:12,973 --> 01:21:13,663

'cause she was like

:

01:21:13,663 --> 01:21:14,023

that.

:

01:21:14,083 --> 01:21:14,773

That guy is

:

01:21:14,773 --> 01:21:15,673

like, I like

:

01:21:15,688 --> 01:21:17,308

Milo: She's like, if I had to choose,

:

01:21:17,577 --> 01:21:18,478

I'd hit that.

:

01:21:19,778 --> 01:21:20,068

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:21:20,293 --> 01:21:22,183

I think the studio wanted Vigo too.

:

01:21:22,183 --> 01:21:28,153

But John, know, he, he the hammer down

and he said, no, it's gonna be chuffing

:

01:21:28,618 --> 01:21:29,338

Milo: Damn it, John.

:

01:21:29,983 --> 01:21:30,373

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:21:30,508 --> 01:21:35,698

Milo: I mean, I guess he has more of that

kind of high school jock, preppy look

:

01:21:36,418 --> 01:21:38,008

versus Vigo.

:

01:21:38,038 --> 01:21:38,488

Yeah.

:

01:21:38,577 --> 01:21:42,298

I like he definitely has probably more

of the look of that kind of, yeah.

:

01:21:42,327 --> 01:21:43,648

Drives a Porsche kind of thing,

:

01:21:43,948 --> 01:21:45,058

whereas Vigo.

:

01:21:45,103 --> 01:21:45,702

Katie: Vigo maybe

:

01:21:45,702 --> 01:21:48,883

could have done like the, the

blonde, Ivy League look to

:

01:21:49,153 --> 01:21:50,383

Milo: maybe, yeah.

:

01:21:51,013 --> 01:21:51,463

Either way.

:

01:21:51,478 --> 01:21:51,898

Katie: mad at,

:

01:21:51,958 --> 01:21:54,148

I'm not mad at RJ Ryan here, so,

:

01:21:54,168 --> 01:21:54,248

Milo: Hmm,

:

01:21:54,313 --> 01:21:55,077

Katie: I, I, I would

:

01:21:55,077 --> 01:21:56,518

like the alternate reality too.

:

01:21:56,788 --> 01:22:01,188

Maybe he could have been in the sequel

because as we always talk about in

:

01:22:01,188 --> 01:22:04,968

these eighties movies, there's always

talk of sequels or remakes or whatnot.

:

01:22:05,628 --> 01:22:10,878

There was a potential sequel in

:

:

01:22:10,878 --> 01:22:12,588

was interested in doing it.

:

01:22:12,813 --> 01:22:13,053

Milo: hmm,

:

01:22:13,278 --> 01:22:13,728

Katie: It was gonna

:

01:22:13,728 --> 01:22:15,498

be 32 candles.

:

01:22:16,577 --> 01:22:16,968

You know.

:

01:22:17,268 --> 01:22:17,748

doubling the

:

01:22:17,808 --> 01:22:19,128

Jamie Fenderson: now it'd be more like

:

01:22:20,043 --> 01:22:20,223

Milo: hmm.

:

01:22:20,733 --> 01:22:22,353

50 something candles.

:

01:22:22,353 --> 01:22:22,683

I don't know.

:

01:22:23,073 --> 01:22:23,373

Average.

:

01:22:23,373 --> 01:22:23,702

Yeah.

:

01:22:24,198 --> 01:22:24,407

Katie: or,

:

01:22:24,663 --> 01:22:25,443

Milo: candles.

:

01:22:26,358 --> 01:22:26,568

Katie: no,

:

01:22:26,688 --> 01:22:27,958

Jamie Fenderson: 6

:

01:22:27,958 --> 01:22:30,498

6 67

:

01:22:30,538 --> 01:22:30,827

Milo: it's,

:

01:22:31,068 --> 01:22:31,308

Jamie Fenderson: like

:

01:22:31,308 --> 01:22:32,388

67 and a half

:

01:22:32,388 --> 01:22:32,928

candles.

:

01:22:32,928 --> 01:22:33,288

Now you

:

01:22:33,363 --> 01:22:34,532

Milo: it's not quite that many.

:

01:22:35,238 --> 01:22:36,558

Jamie Fenderson: and, and people are like,

:

01:22:36,827 --> 01:22:37,518

oh yeah,

:

01:22:37,518 --> 01:22:37,738

Milo: No.

:

01:22:37,788 --> 01:22:39,077

Jamie Fenderson: collect

social security now.

:

01:22:39,077 --> 01:22:40,068

And it's a whole movie about

:

01:22:40,068 --> 01:22:41,208

Molly Ringwald collecting

:

01:22:41,208 --> 01:22:42,018

social security.

:

01:22:42,123 --> 01:22:43,743

Milo: She's having her

birthday in the home.

:

01:22:46,623 --> 01:22:47,403

Jake's gone.

:

01:22:47,403 --> 01:22:50,702

There's a new guy in the old folks'

home that she's got a crush on.

:

01:22:52,278 --> 01:22:52,548

Jamie Fenderson: Oh, it's Vigo.

:

01:22:52,713 --> 01:22:54,153

Milo: Hey, V goes back.

:

01:22:54,993 --> 01:22:55,353

Great.

:

01:22:55,413 --> 01:22:55,983

I'd watch it.

:

01:22:56,148 --> 01:22:56,657

Katie: it.

:

01:22:57,018 --> 01:22:57,738

Start writing.

:

01:22:57,993 --> 01:22:58,323

Milo: Yep.

:

01:22:59,248 --> 01:23:01,498

Katie: We didn't talk about the

music and I wanted to bring him

:

01:23:01,498 --> 01:23:06,648

up because he's a very frequent

collaborator with John Hughes.

:

01:23:07,128 --> 01:23:09,168

The guy who did the music is Ira Newborn.

:

01:23:09,568 --> 01:23:11,968

And we talked about him on the

Ferris Bueller's Day off episode

:

01:23:11,968 --> 01:23:13,168

'cause he also did that music.

:

01:23:13,498 --> 01:23:17,258

But weird Science Uncle Buck

Planes, trains and Auto Automobiles.

:

01:23:17,258 --> 01:23:19,468

And also ACE Ventura and Mallrats

:

01:23:19,988 --> 01:23:21,048

Milo: Oh, mall route even.

:

01:23:21,348 --> 01:23:21,568

Wow.

:

01:23:21,928 --> 01:23:22,407

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:23:22,548 --> 01:23:22,628

Milo: Hmm.

:

01:23:22,678 --> 01:23:23,098

Katie: Yeah.

:

01:23:23,730 --> 01:23:24,090

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:29,950

I mean, again, like when you

think eighties and you think his

:

01:23:29,950 --> 01:23:32,050

mo his film John Hughes films.

:

01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:34,120

You think music as well, like

:

01:23:34,375 --> 01:23:34,975

Katie: Mm-hmm.

:

01:23:35,980 --> 01:23:38,800

Milo: every one of his films

has a soundtrack that goes

:

01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:40,180

along with it perfectly.

:

01:23:41,315 --> 01:23:41,835

Katie: A hundred percent.

:

01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,785

Jamie Fenderson: it kind of

used to be that way with John

:

01:23:44,785 --> 01:23:47,320

Hughes or Tim Burton or even

:

01:23:47,450 --> 01:23:47,930

Milo: A lot of films.

:

01:23:48,140 --> 01:23:51,500

Jamie Fenderson: the nineties guy

that, why can't I think of his name?

:

01:23:52,190 --> 01:23:52,490

Pulp

:

01:23:52,490 --> 01:23:53,120

Fiction.

:

01:23:53,395 --> 01:23:54,115

Milo: Quentin Tarantino.

:

01:23:54,815 --> 01:23:55,105

Yeah.

:

01:23:55,165 --> 01:23:56,105

His films back then.

:

01:23:56,210 --> 01:23:59,780

Jamie Fenderson: they, have, they get,

they find their style and they, then.

:

01:23:59,780 --> 01:24:04,790

they find their musical score guy

and they find a cohort of actors

:

01:24:04,790 --> 01:24:06,200

that they like to work with.

:

01:24:06,950 --> 01:24:11,600

And that's kind of their little

world of their little film world.

:

01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,970

I don't know, like I

don't watch many movies.

:

01:24:13,970 --> 01:24:18,950

Is It still that way where directors

kind of have that thing or, I,

:

01:24:18,950 --> 01:24:20,000

I think, I feel like that was.

:

01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:21,110

a thing back then.

:

01:24:21,405 --> 01:24:21,625

Katie: It

:

01:24:21,650 --> 01:24:21,980

' Jamie Fenderson: cause

:

01:24:22,165 --> 01:24:22,385

Katie: was.

:

01:24:23,420 --> 01:24:27,410

Jamie Fenderson: John Hughes had his

Molly Ringwald and he had the people

:

01:24:27,410 --> 01:24:32,840

who did, he had his style, the people

who did his music and the Michael

:

01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,330

Anthony Hall that he had his group

:

01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:36,980

just like Tim Burton did.

:

01:24:36,980 --> 01:24:37,309

Right.

:

01:24:37,309 --> 01:24:38,300

That's, this is my group.

:

01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,870

I, I don't know if that's a thing

anymore and maybe it's because

:

01:24:41,870 --> 01:24:46,070

studios kind of control everything

now instead of the actual directors.

:

01:24:46,865 --> 01:24:47,915

Katie: it might be.

:

01:24:48,605 --> 01:24:51,725

There was a, a really interesting

guest on the Daily Show

:

01:24:51,725 --> 01:24:53,595

recently, her name is Nancy.

:

01:24:53,595 --> 01:24:53,625

I.

:

01:24:54,050 --> 01:24:58,881

She's like old World Hollywood, but

she's an Asian actress that somehow got

:

01:24:58,881 --> 01:25:01,491

parts that weren't just like caricatures.

:

01:25:01,671 --> 01:25:01,891

Jamie Fenderson: Mm.

:

01:25:02,041 --> 01:25:03,721

Katie: We're talking like in the sixties.

:

01:25:03,771 --> 01:25:08,391

And so she was talking about

how that time, the era where

:

01:25:08,391 --> 01:25:10,011

the studios you were under.

:

01:25:10,251 --> 01:25:12,621

And part of the reason that that

happened for her was because she

:

01:25:12,621 --> 01:25:14,481

was under contract with a studio.

:

01:25:14,481 --> 01:25:15,081

So she was,

:

01:25:15,351 --> 01:25:15,571

Jamie Fenderson: Mm

:

01:25:15,681 --> 01:25:15,951

Katie: to be

:

01:25:15,951 --> 01:25:17,331

in, they had her contracted for

:

01:25:17,331 --> 01:25:18,141

eight movies

:

01:25:18,241 --> 01:25:18,461

Jamie Fenderson: mm.

:

01:25:18,471 --> 01:25:18,591

Katie: or

:

01:25:18,591 --> 01:25:19,131

whatever.

:

01:25:19,131 --> 01:25:22,821

And so she said that was kind

of ending in the sixties.

:

01:25:22,821 --> 01:25:25,131

And she said something really interesting

when they were talking about movies.

:

01:25:25,131 --> 01:25:29,361

She said, everything kind of comes

back So I think that you saying

:

01:25:29,361 --> 01:25:32,901

that Jamie made me realize, are

we, are we getting back to that?

:

01:25:32,901 --> 01:25:37,431

Because when that ended, it ushered

in this whole independent movie

:

01:25:37,641 --> 01:25:38,151

Jamie Fenderson: Mm.

:

01:25:38,901 --> 01:25:39,321

Katie: you know,

:

01:25:39,591 --> 01:25:41,511

really big in the nineties.

:

01:25:41,511 --> 01:25:41,931

And then.

:

01:25:41,931 --> 01:25:44,631

now we're kind of back to

just these like giant studio

:

01:25:44,866 --> 01:25:45,286

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

:

01:25:45,651 --> 01:25:46,761

Katie: So, I don't know, it just kind of

:

01:25:46,761 --> 01:25:47,300

reminded me of

:

01:25:47,486 --> 01:25:47,906

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

:

01:25:48,165 --> 01:25:52,515

Katie: yeah, so of which though, a

lot of these movies that John Hughes

:

01:25:52,515 --> 01:25:56,085

did in the eighties that I, that are

really good, were made for no money.

:

01:25:56,260 --> 01:25:56,680

Jamie Fenderson: Mm-hmm.

:

01:25:56,865 --> 01:25:58,410

Katie: was made for $6.5

:

01:25:58,410 --> 01:26:02,715

million and it was nothing to

sneeze at the worldwide gross.

:

01:26:02,715 --> 01:26:03,795

It was $23.6

:

01:26:03,795 --> 01:26:09,305

million on such a small budget, which

was considered a modest hit at the time.

:

01:26:09,705 --> 01:26:12,915

And you're right, Jamie,

it right behind Breakin, it

:

01:26:13,075 --> 01:26:13,365

Jamie Fenderson: Yeah.

:

01:26:13,785 --> 01:26:19,045

Katie: in 84, but it became a

big hit on BHS you guys, it's

:

01:26:19,045 --> 01:26:22,405

a film that's sweet, massively

questionable, but also relatable.

:

01:26:22,780 --> 01:26:23,070

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:26:23,559 --> 01:26:23,770

Katie: All

:

01:26:23,770 --> 01:26:27,130

the same and very much of its time.

:

01:26:27,490 --> 01:26:27,640

You

:

01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,020

know, whether you're team

:

01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,360

Jake Ryan, or just here

for the eighties vibes.

:

01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,630

I do hope you enjoyed

this trip back to:

:

01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,900

Jamie Milo, thank you

so much for joining me.

:

01:26:37,900 --> 01:26:41,590

What are your closing

thoughts on 16 candles?

:

01:26:42,515 --> 01:26:43,080

Milo: Go for it, Jamie.

:

01:26:45,535 --> 01:26:49,095

Jamie Fenderson: I guess just a

movie that won't be made again, so

:

01:26:49,095 --> 01:26:50,975

that's what makes it good, I guess.

:

01:26:52,100 --> 01:26:57,020

I, I, I kind of miss a lot of the

I, I don't know, maybe I'm a bad

:

01:26:57,020 --> 01:27:01,340

person, but I miss when you could

make fun of things like they,

:

01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:02,809

what they made fun of back then.

:

01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,170

So maybe I'm terrible,

:

01:27:05,650 --> 01:27:09,730

but I wish you could, I wish you

could make movies like this where

:

01:27:09,730 --> 01:27:15,280

people weren't, I mean, maybe not,

maybe not some of it, but I, I wish,

:

01:27:15,550 --> 01:27:19,520

I wish you could like, be a little

more, like less offended people and

:

01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,730

watch this and just take it in stride.

:

01:27:22,030 --> 01:27:22,990

So I like this.

:

01:27:22,990 --> 01:27:26,410

I haven't seen this one forever and it

reminded me of being a teenager again.

:

01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,100

Even though I wasn't a

teenager in:

:

01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:32,860

But if this'll take you back

to some of the insecurities and

:

01:27:32,860 --> 01:27:34,210

weirdness of being a teenager.

:

01:27:34,210 --> 01:27:35,290

So I dig it.

:

01:27:35,290 --> 01:27:37,030

I'm glad I got to revisit this again.

:

01:27:37,726 --> 01:27:38,626

Milo: Yeah, I'm, I'm with you.

:

01:27:38,626 --> 01:27:42,796

It's one of those films that you have to

watch it and put it into context of when

:

01:27:42,796 --> 01:27:45,406

it was made in order to appreciate it.

:

01:27:46,106 --> 01:27:51,071

Having said that, I can also accept how

modern audiences might not like this film,

:

01:27:51,091 --> 01:27:55,016

and I wouldn't fault somebody if they're

like, oh yeah, no, I find it offensive.

:

01:27:55,016 --> 01:27:55,736

I can't watch it.

:

01:27:56,126 --> 01:27:56,936

That's fine.

:

01:27:57,416 --> 01:28:01,026

But, if other people like it, let

them like it, you know, it's a,

:

01:28:01,026 --> 01:28:05,911

certainly, , you have questionable

decisions at various points, but it's a.

:

01:28:06,446 --> 01:28:08,186

Teen comedy from the eighties.

:

01:28:08,186 --> 01:28:11,756

It is what it is and you just have

to appreciate it for what it is.

:

01:28:11,756 --> 01:28:17,796

And you know, it was John Hughes

first film and he started a trend

:

01:28:17,796 --> 01:28:21,906

in the eighties that makes the

eighties part of what it was.

:

01:28:21,906 --> 01:28:25,806

And why we enjoy it is thanks

to John Hughes, so you have

:

01:28:25,806 --> 01:28:26,706

to appreciate it for that.

:

01:28:27,765 --> 01:28:29,055

Katie: Both very well said.

:

01:28:29,465 --> 01:28:33,995

PS I forgot to see if you guys

also laughed at one of my favorite

:

01:28:33,995 --> 01:28:38,315

moments in The movie that I

don't recall ever tracking.

:

01:28:39,995 --> 01:28:42,095

when the grandmas are in

the kitchen trying to make

:

01:28:42,095 --> 01:28:44,075

breakfast, the cigarette ash.

:

01:28:44,135 --> 01:28:44,375

Milo: secret.

:

01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,970

Katie: The one grandma's trying to

catch the other grandma's cigarette

:

01:28:49,970 --> 01:28:54,050

ash while they're cooking and it's the

longest and it's like in two scenes.

:

01:28:54,050 --> 01:28:56,809

Then later when they're like

eating at the table, she's got

:

01:28:56,809 --> 01:28:58,550

a really long cigarette ash too.

:

01:28:58,790 --> 01:28:59,840

I was dying at that.

:

01:29:00,235 --> 01:29:00,525

Milo: Yeah.

:

01:29:00,605 --> 01:29:06,275

Jamie Fenderson: My grandma those long

ass cigarette ashes, and I remember

:

01:29:06,275 --> 01:29:10,145

my mom sometimes like getting a little

ashtray and kind of flicking it off from

:

01:29:10,145 --> 01:29:14,615

my grandma, or they'd cook and even like

the ashes would fall into this stuff.

:

01:29:14,615 --> 01:29:15,305

They'd be like, bitch.

:

01:29:16,370 --> 01:29:17,990

Yeah, we're cooking it anyway.

:

01:29:18,140 --> 01:29:25,220

Dude, don't, smoking was in:

a thing and my grandma had, I don't

:

01:29:25,220 --> 01:29:29,510

know why sometimes she'd smoke, but

sometimes she'd just light it up just

:

01:29:29,540 --> 01:29:31,190

'cause she's just used to having it.

:

01:29:31,190 --> 01:29:35,840

But she wouldn't even smoke it, It

just turned into this long ass thing.

:

01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:37,040

That's funny.

:

01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,350

I'm glad you brought that up because I

:

01:29:40,250 --> 01:29:40,820

so true.

:

01:29:40,820 --> 01:29:42,680

Katie: forgot about it,

but I was like, oh my God.

:

01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:44,809

And I don't remember noticing

:

01:29:44,809 --> 01:29:45,110

that in

:

01:29:45,155 --> 01:29:48,200

Jamie Fenderson: that was, that

was so real back then though.

:

01:29:48,260 --> 01:29:50,630

he must see that's:

:

01:29:50,630 --> 01:29:51,320

That was real.

:

01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:51,950

Grandma's

:

01:29:52,100 --> 01:29:52,490

Katie: life.

:

01:29:52,490 --> 01:29:53,059

Yeah.

:

01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:54,800

Jamie Fenderson: grandma's had those long

:

01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,180

ass ash cigarettes.

:

01:29:56,900 --> 01:29:57,200

Milo: Yep.

:

01:29:57,230 --> 01:30:00,410

That they would be smoking while

cooking or doing any other thing.

:

01:30:01,295 --> 01:30:03,455

Mm-hmm.

:

01:30:03,620 --> 01:30:05,990

Get ready to reminisce about the music that dominated the charts, from the hair metal of Guns N’ Roses to the pop hits of Madonna and Michael Jackson. We’ll also take a look at the fads and trends that defined the era, from the neon colors of fashion to the boombox on every street corner.

But it’s not just about the big names and big moments. We’ll also dive deep into the lesser-known corners of 80s and 90s culture, from cult classic movies like The Breakfast Club and Big Trouble in Little China to underground bands that never quite made it big.
