It's always a blast having you guys,

what's new, what's going on in your world?

16

:

Milo: hey.

17

18

19

:

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.

:

101

:

Jamie Fenderson: Oh

117

:

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

:

oh,

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

:

Milo: Vodka.

152

Exactly, yes.

153

:

All kinds of stuff you

could do with Kool-Aid.

154

:

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

:

there's another one.

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.

179

:

Katie: Miley.

180

:

Miley.

181

:

I.

182

:

I combined your names.

183

:

:

Milo: That's fine.

185

:

Yeah.

186

:

We're like a married couple.

187

:

We're Miley.

:

Jamie Fenderson: someday, Milo, we

:

Milo: Yeah.

200

:

Katie: another category.

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

:

We know.

213

:

Jamie Fenderson: Australian gal

214

:

215

:

Milo: Yeah.

216

:

Katie: and done.

217

:

One and done though.

218

:

And what, so what's the answer?

219

:

You guys

220

:

Jamie Fenderson: breaking.

221

:

Milo: dancing.

222

:

Katie: break

223

:

dancing and

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: out in

392

:

the, like the

393

:

later

394

:

eighties

395

:

Milo: two.

396

:

Katie: to think.

397

:

I

398

:

Jamie Fenderson: tears of endearment,

399

:

Katie: yes.

400

:

Milo: Ooh, good one, Jamie.

401

:

Good job.

402

:

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

:

or something that I was writing and I,

I've never seen that either, but it.

407

:

was

408

:

like, best picture

409

:

or something.

410

:

It has

411

:

Milo: Yeah.

412

:

Jamie Fenderson: of accolades and I've

never, I never saw It So now that I'm old,

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

604

:

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
