Speaker:

This is Che.

2

:

You remember me?

3

:

Chet Ripley, how you doing?

4

:

This is his family.

5

:

You can run around here naked as a there

and not worry about running into anybody.

6

:

This is Roman.

7

:

What a guess.

8

:

This is his family.

9

:

I'm waiting for the hits

to rotate around and vomit.

10

:

Peach Soup.

11

:

They're about to spend one week

together in the great outdoors.

12

:

We weren't invited.

13

:

Ah, that'll be tickled to

death to see us who invited him

14

:

anyway, but this is no holiday.

15

:

The man is an, this is war.

16

:

You wouldn't know a good time if

it fell out of the sky, landed on

17

:

your face and started a wiggle.

18

:

Are you gonna argue or are

you gonna enjoy yourself?

19

:

Dan Royd,

20

:

John Candy, the great outdoors,

outdoor fun for the whole family

21

:

that had to hurt.

22

:

Katie: Hello.

23

:

Hello, I'm Katie and welcome to

Retro Made Your Pop Culture Rewind.

24

:

We're continuing the season two

John Hughes season, and so we're

25

:

gonna go back today to 1988 for

another brilliant dose of John Candy.

26

:

With John Hughes, of course writing,

and I'm happy to reintroduce all of

27

:

you lovely listeners to returning

guest Jared Stein from the Hyperspace

28

:

Podcasting in the 25th century.

29

:

Jared, thank you for coming

back to join me for season two

30

:

Jared: Well, Katie,

thank you for having me.

31

:

It's a pleasure to be here

and I can't wait to talk about

32

:

the great outdoors.

33

:

Katie: Indeed.

34

:

Tell us what's going on, what's new

in, in your world of podcasting.

35

:

Jared: Well, the hyperspace me and

the guys have kind of struggled to

36

:

get it together since since December.

37

:

I think the last episode we put out was

sort of like this, this Christmas episode.

38

:

And um, uh, we do also do sort of

reaction and review shows whenever Disney

39

:

Plus puts out a new Star Wars TV show.

40

:

And we put out one of

those earlier this year.

41

:

So we've done a series of episodes

on the latest Star Wars TV series.

42

:

but.

43

:

For the past probably six weeks or

so, it's been pretty quiet at the

44

:

Hyperspace studios, but always,

we're always talking about, cranking

45

:

it up again and starting to do it.

46

:

But, sometimes life happens

and, and things get in the way,

47

:

but it's not going anywhere.

48

:

We're certainly going to be

continuing to do episodes,

49

:

well into the future.

50

:

Katie: Glad to hear it.

51

:

I mean, you gotta continue on

until at least the 25th century.

52

:

Jared: century, I

53

:

Katie: Yeah.

54

:

Jared: I

55

:

Katie: Mm-hmm.

56

:

Jared: that's non-negotiable,

57

:

Katie: Right.

58

:

Well, I had inquired in

the Breakfast Club episode.

59

:

I, my school did not have Saturday

detention, and neither did Ryan, my guest

60

:

Ryan's, we had afterschool detention

and I was like, is this a thing?

61

:

Is there detentions on Saturdays?

62

:

Did your school have

detention on Saturdays?

63

:

Jared.

64

:

Jared: No, not, not that I, I,

I never had to go to detention.

65

:

I was a nerdy good kid.

66

:

So, it, but it was mostly after school

or, in school suspension they called it.

67

:

Or you had to come to school on a school

68

:

day and set in detention.

69

:

Katie: Which is a weird scenario.

70

:

You're like double punishing I mean

like you might as well educate the

71

:

child if they're gonna be there.

72

:

Jared: Yeah.

73

:

Katie: rate, my friend Kelly,

74

:

She informed me that her school did

in fact have Saturday detention.

75

:

So thank you Kelly for

letting the Retro Made Show.

76

:

Know that and I'd love to

hear from other people.

77

:

Anyway, yeah, detention Saturday.

78

:

Jared: Wow.

79

:

That, that's, that's a fate worse

than death for, for a school kid.

80

:

Saturdays are

81

:

sacred.

82

:

Katie: Without further ado, should we

spin the wheel for this new segment?

83

:

Jared: to this.

84

:

Katie: We're gonna open the time capsule.

85

:

You guys, we're going back to June of 1988

but

193

:

Katie: were right.

194

:

Katie: Heathcliff, but this cartoon,

:

first half was Heathcliff and then

the second half was like another group

197

:

of, they were called something else.

198

:

Do you remember, second half

was like these ragamuffin cats.

:

Jared: well, they, they sort of had a, an

hour, like Heathcliff had 30 and Marmaduke

207

208

:

Marmaduke at some point

for these other cats you're

209

:

Katie: No, no.

210

:

It was just within the

Heathcliff half hour.

:

It was split.

212

:

Jared: well I don't remember this.

213

:

I'm stumped,

214

:

Katie: It was Heathcliff

215

:

Remember there was one cat that had

like a, like a newsy boy hat on with

216

:

a cane and a scarf, and they rode

in like a, like a 57 Chevy type car.

:

Mongo some hot air.

232

:

Katie: Heathcliff and the

Cadillac Cats, who remembers this?

233

Okay.

234

:

We'll spin it one more time.

235

We'll get another, another category.

236

:

Oh, this'll be an easy one.

237

:

Primetime.

238

:

Rewind.

239

Okay.

240

They're not very tough, these are

the top Prime time shows in:

266

:

Man in 88.

267

:

The, A team.

268

I dunno.

269

:

I'm standing firm on

270

:

Cosby Show and Cheers.

271

:

Katie-1: Okay.

272

:

The other

273

:

ones we have the central

character is brash, sarcastic,

274

:

and an unfiltered view of life.

275

:

Jared: Brash, sarcastic, in

an unfiltered view of life.

276

:

Katie-1: humor.

277

:

So like the touch tone for the show.

278

:

It's biting, humor and unvarnished.

279

:

Look at everyday struggles,

balancing family dynamics.

280

:

If

281

:

Jared: I,

282

:

Katie-1: trying

283

:

Jared: I couldn't guess.

284

:

Katie-1: a little vague

285

:

Jared: Um,

286

:

Katie-1: Roots.

287

:

Jared: oh

288

:

Roseanne.

289

:

Katie-1: Yes.

290

:

Yes.

291

:

Jared: Okay.

292

:

Katie-1: And another one is

293

:

a college-based spinoff

from a beloved sitcom.

294

:

Jared: This was a different world.

295

:

I.

296

:

Katie-1: Mm.

297

:

of them is not a sitcom,

it's a news program.

298

:

Jared: Uh,

299

:

60 minutes.

300

:

Katie-1: 60 minutes,

301

:

And the last one, one of my

favorite shows of all time, if

302

:

you listen to the show, Jared.

303

:

Jared: In 88.

304

:

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

305

:

If I give you a hint, it'll give it,

306

:

away.

307

:

Jared: Dang it,

308

:

Katie-1: Let me see.

309

:

Ooh, God, any,

310

:

Jared: hour long or 30 minute long.

311

:

Katie-1: minutes.

312

:

It's a sitcom.

313

:

Really great chemistry among the cast.

314

:

Super funny.

315

:

Jared: Well,

316

:

A famous sitcom in 1988.

317

:

Katie-1: I'm trying to find a hint

that won't give it away, but let's see.

318

:

It's women.

319

:

Four women.

320

:

Jared: For, oh, the Golden Girls.

321

:

Oh, gosh,

322

:

Katie-1: The Golden Girls.

323

:

Jared: yes.

324

:

Okay.

325

:

Katie-1: All right.

326

:

All right.

327

:

Well, that's enough of the time capsule,

328

:

Jared: Well, how old were you?

329

:

How old were that's, that's

a tacky question in 88.

330

:

Katie-1: I was

331

:

Jared: I'm, I'm, Wow, okay.

332

:

I was 13.

333

:

Okay.

334

:

So, gotcha.

335

:

Katie-1: Yeah.

336

:

Jared: The Golden Girls at seven?

337

:

Katie-1: Yeah, I was

watching any of these shows.

338

:

I mean, I probably also watch 'cause

it's been on in syndication forever too.

339

:

So,

340

:

Jared: Yeah, that's true.

341

:

Katie-1: yeah, I mean, really a

lot of the stuff that I cover on

342

:

retro made, I caught it later,

then it's original release.

343

:

Jared: Gotcha.

344

:

Katie-1: All right.

345

:

So I'm doing a whole season

346

:

Jared: Yeah.

347

:

Katie-1: John Hughes,

the director, the writer.

348

:

Jared: I mean, pretty much a

quintessential eighties presence in,

349

:

in a lot of, teen, kid centered films.

350

:

He came to my I came to John

Hughes through Ferris Bueller.

351

:

Katie-1: Okay.

352

:

Jared: That was that

was my first exposure.

353

:

And Ferris Bueller was one of

those that, that was, a VHS staple.

354

:

And I think I recorded it off of

HBO and just wore that VHS tape out.

355

:

I don't, I, I think I, it wasn't

until later, maybe into the nineties

356

:

when I would start to see his

name pop up and be like, oh crap.

357

:

Well, home alone.

358

:

And, and things and Christmas

vacation and things like that where

359

:

I was like, oh, wow, this guy did a

lot more than just Ferris Bueller.

360

:

And, but, he, he is, he def he def

there's a, he has a distinct flavor,

361

:

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

362

:

Jared: Hughes.

363

:

And it's it's, it's speaks to, I

think it speaks to Gen XA lot, sort

364

:

of, 'cause Ferris Bueller was sort of

central in my, my childhood and teenage

365

:

years as something to try to emulate.

366

:

But yeah.

367

:

But I, I don't think it was, it wasn't

until, later that I, I realized sort

368

:

of the impact that he had and how

much he was actually involved with.

369

:

So, but yeah, definitely just

quintessential:

370

:

Katie-1: Same.

371

:

I don't think I realized until later

that he was kind of the mastermind

372

:

behind all of these movies that I loved.

373

:

And you're,

374

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

375

:

Katie-1: you're spot

376

:

on.

377

:

When you say he, a certain

flavor, know, that, that

378

:

Jared: Yeah.

379

:

Katie-1: John Hughes

380

:

mentioning Ferris Bueller.

381

:

Is that your, is that your

favorite John Hughes movie?

382

:

Jared: I would've to say Ferris

Bueller probably is my, my, my

383

:

favorite John Hughes, and I know that

he, he wrote and directed that one.

384

:

And but of so many of these.

385

:

He just wrote, he did not, he

didn't direct, but they, they

386

:

all sort of feel similar, like

maybe he could have directed them.

387

:

Katie-1: I

388

:

In some cases it

389

:

was just a matter of a time conflict.

390

:

So he

391

:

Jared: yeah.

392

:

Katie-1: and then there are

393

:

Themes.

394

:

There are, he's worked with the same

director for a handful of films.

395

:

So

396

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

397

:

Katie-1: there's, some themes in that

398

:

way.

399

:

Well, so speaking of which,

the Great Outdoors is the

400

:

movie we're discussing today,

401

:

Jared: Yes.

402

:

Katie-1: it was not directed

403

:

by John Hughes.

404

:

So let's get

405

:

Jared: Correct.

406

:

Katie-1: Outdoors.

407

:

Jared: do it.

408

:

Katie-1: June 17th, 1988, pg.

409

:

It's in, Let's see, it's a 6.6,

410

:

which is lower than the other ones

we've covered so far on season

411

:

two, but still, still very good.

412

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

413

:

Katie-1: Obviously written by John Hughes.

414

:

He actually, I was mentioning he had

intended to direct it, but scheduling

415

:

conflicts didn't allow for that.

416

:

And this is, he teamed up with Howard

Deutsch, am I saying that right?

417

:

Is it.

418

:

Jared: I believe so.

419

:

Yeah.

420

:

I mean, that's how I would pronounce it.

421

:

Katie-1: And this was the third and

final film that was written by John

422

:

Hughes and directed by Howard Deutsch.

423

:

Do you know what the other two were?

424

:

Jared: W was one of them 16 candles?

425

:

Katie-1: No, he, John

426

:

Jared: No, he, he directed that,

427

:

Katie-1: but it's in a similar vein,

428

:

They're both teen,

429

:

teen movies.

430

:

Jared: I think I know, but

431

:

Katie-1: P

432

:

Jared: I, I could

433

:

Katie-1: pretty

434

:

Jared: pretty in pink.

435

:

Katie-1: and then some kind of

436

:

Jared: Okay.

437

:

Katie-1: And then, and then

this one, which is interesting,

438

:

Jared: Yeah, this, this seems like one

of these things is not like the other.

439

:

Katie-1: Indeed.

440

:

This might surprise you, Jared.

441

:

I had not seen this movie before.

442

:

I'm pretty

443

:

Jared: What?

444

:

Katie-1: I

445

:

Jared: Oh, oh man.

446

:

Katie-1: I feel like I've

447

:

maybe seen pieces of it, but

never the whole thing through.

448

:

It maybe wasn't one that ran a

lot on USA or TBS or something.

449

:

Jared: Well, this, the great outdoors

for me is, is one we spoke offline

450

:

earlier about my, my buddy Alan,

who's gonna come see me very soon.

451

:

Since this movie came out in

theaters probably once a week

452

:

for the past, 30 something years.

453

:

This movie is part of our lexicon.

454

:

It's, it's in our vocabulary.

455

:

I don't think a week goes by where

we don't mention the old 96 er,

456

:

or

457

:

Katie-1: Oh,

458

:

I forgot about that.

459

:

Jared: one of the things we do all

the time is there's a little exchange

460

:

between John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in

the movie where he goes, was that a shot?

461

:

No, that was the truth.

462

:

That was a shot.

463

:

That was a shot.

464

:

We, we, we quote that back

and forth to each other

465

:

all the time

466

:

Katie-1: I love

467

:

Jared: and, and it's, so I would say

actually of all the movies, even Ferris

468

:

Bueller that I said was my favorite, the

Great Outdoors is a part of my, almost,

469

:

it's, it's up here

470

:

Katie-1: mm-hmm.

471

:

Jared: In my everyday life that I

will just throw things like that out.

472

:

Like when they're, the steak,

whenever I eat a steak, I will say,

473

:

well, there's nothing on left on

that plate, but Fat and Grizzle,

474

:

Like they talk when

they're eating the 96 er.

475

:

And I think that's why of, when you asked

me which movie I'd like to talk about, I

476

:

picked The Great Outdoors because it's,

it's just something that's, and I haven't

477

:

watched the movie sat down and watched it

478

:

in probably 20 years,

479

:

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

480

:

Jared: always lives here,

481

:

Katie-1: I love that.

482

:

Jared: so,

483

:

Katie-1: I forgot about the,

484

:

that even, is it possible to consume

that amount, that amount of food?

485

:

Like the, the steak scene?

486

:

Jared: well the, you see people

on YouTube, of course, who

487

:

consume massive amounts of food.

488

:

It's like a challenge that

these restaurants put out.

489

:

I think it's probably possible.

490

:

Whether it's remotely good for you

or healthy is probably debatable.

491

:

I, I think

492

:

Katie-1: I don't know if it's even

493

:

debatable.

494

:

Jared: No, no.

495

:

It's, you, you would be vomiting

within, an hour of consuming that.

496

:

But I think you could probably be done,

I, it looks like John Candy is the kind

497

:

of guy who could have put that away,

498

:

Katie-1: If anyone, yeah, that's true.

499

:

Because there's

500

:

competitive eaters, I

501

:

Jared: Yes.

502

:

Katie-1: Yeah.

503

:

Jared: And they're, they're

504

:

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

505

:

'

Jared: em in water and just hot, hot, hot, you know, and hot dogs too.

506

:

Another thing, lips and assholes,

that, that's something else that every

507

:

time I see a hot dog, hey, Hey, how

many, that's lips and assholes, right?

508

:

Katie-1: Now, Do you?

509

:

eat hot dogs?

510

:

Jared: Occasionally, but, but, but

we get the, we get the good stuff.

511

:

We get like the I.

512

:

What the kosher ones, the,

513

:

Hebrew nationals.

514

:

Katie-1: yeah.

515

:

Jared: that are made with

the finest cuts of beef.

516

:

Katie-1: Sure.

517

:

The finest lips and

518

:

Jared: Yes, exactly.

519

:

Katie-1: Okay.

520

:

I got

521

:

it.

522

:

Jared: So, but yeah, that's again, that's

something else that just pops in my head

523

:

every time I see a hot dog or something.

524

:

Katie-1: That is hilarious.

525

:

Jared: Yeah.

526

:

Katie-1: don't recall

527

:

ever having, I'm sure I did,

528

:

Jared: Uhhuh.

529

:

Katie-1: ever having eaten a hot

530

:

dog.

531

:

Jared: Oh my gosh.

532

:

Now I know, I know that you,

you are a vegetarian, correct?

533

:

Katie-1: actually,

534

:

Jared: Okay.

535

:

Katie-1: I eat vegan hot dogs

536

:

Jared: Oh, yeah, yeah.

537

:

I've now, I've had my share of those.

538

:

'cause my, my wife, she likes the, the

vegan sausage links and, Morningstar

539

:

stuff and that kind of stuff.

540

:

But, that's, I don't know.

541

:

I don't do, do plants have lips

and assholes, because that's

542

:

kind of what it tastes like to me

543

:

when I have one of those.

544

:

Katie-1: Oh, well,

545

:

Depends.

546

:

They're, they're not all created

547

:

equal.

548

:

And it

549

:

Jared: true, true.

550

:

Katie-1: I think the

551

:

fixins kind of make it,

552

:

Jared: Yeah.

553

:

Katie-1: but actually, I do recall

as a child eating corn dogs.

554

:

Jared: Okay.

555

:

Katie-1: anytime a restaurant has a vegan

556

:

corn dog, I will order it because

557

:

Jared: Yeah.

558

:

And we used to get those when my daughter

was smaller, we would get the vegan like

559

:

corn dog pups, they called them, you know?

560

:

Katie-1: yeah.

561

:

Jared: just like the little

bite sized corn dogs.

562

:

Yeah.

563

:

Th Now those were good.

564

:

I, I would sit down and eat

a plate full of those things,

565

:

but yeah.

566

:

Katie-1: Hot dogs, man.

567

:

Jared: Crazy.

568

:

Katie-1: the, so I hadn't seen Great

outdoors all the way through Jared clearly

569

:

has, even though it's been 20 years.

570

:

But for the rest of you, possible you

haven't seen it, or if it's been 20 plus

571

:

years for you, it follows Chet Ripley,

played by John Candy, loving family man,

572

:

eager for a peaceful lakeside vacation.

573

:

His plans are upended when his

overbearing brother-in-law, Roman Craig,

574

:

played by Dan Aykroyd, unexpectedly

arrives with his family as the two

575

:

clash over their different lifestyles.

576

:

The trip turns into a series of

comedic disasters from water skiing

577

:

mishaps to an infamous steak eating

challenge that we just talked about,

578

:

and a showdown with a baldheaded bear.

579

:

Through the chaos, both families

learn a little about each other and

580

:

themselves making for a hilarious and

heartwarming getaway the great outdoors.

581

:

Jared: What a great summary.

582

:

Katie-1: Now, I did notice that

Dan Aykroyd was the first, build

583

:

Jared: Yeah.

584

:

Katie-1: John Candy.

585

:

I don't think I realized that.

586

:

Jared: Yes, he Was

587

:

Katie-1: Was he a bigger

588

:

At the time?

589

:

Maybe?

590

:

Jared: Well, possibly.

591

:

I would say Candy and Arod

were on very equal footing.

592

:

As far as, comedic stars, I think

probably, Arod, had a great success with

593

:

Ghostbusters, but, it'd been years since

Ghostbusters had come out at that point.

594

:

But

595

:

maybe

596

:

he just had a better agent

and negotiated top billing.

597

:

So, and by all accounts, John Candy

was a very sweet man who probably

598

:

wasn't gonna fight anybody on it.

599

:

Katie-1: just gonna say the same.

600

:

Jared: Yeah.

601

:

Katie-1: it's funny 'cause we're

602

:

just coming off of Uncle Buck, like

603

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

604

:

Katie-1: was Uncle Buck

605

:

Jared: Classic Love Uncle Buck.

606

:

Katie-1: and it was 89, this is 88.

607

:

And

608

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

609

:

Katie-1: was just, it was wild for

me to watch the Great Outdoors where

610

:

he's playing like literally the

opposite character from Uncle Buck

611

:

Jared: Yeah, he's, he's the, the, the,

the family man and who wants to make

612

:

his vacation per, it's odd too that

this, this movie is very, it's very like

613

:

National Lampoon's vacation adjacent.

614

:

It almost could be a

Clark Griswold adventure

615

:

almost.

616

:

It,

617

:

Katie-1: point.

618

:

It's

619

:

Jared: it's,

620

:

Katie-1: mixed with What about Bob,

621

:

Jared: yeah.

622

:

Yeah.

623

:

Like where you have the, the, the

uninvited person that you don't want

624

:

there who comes crashing your vacation.

625

:

But I got to thinking about that.

626

:

I was watching it last night.

627

:

I was like, John Hughes, a year

later we'd do another vacation movie

628

:

with Christmas vacation and maybe,

he just, maybe John Hughes just

629

:

liked misadventures on vacation.

630

:

And

631

:

this was,

632

:

Katie-1: Well,

633

:

Jared: was another adventure.

634

:

Katie-1: There was a lot.

635

:

Yeah.

636

:

'cause all the Lampoons movies, this,

637

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

638

:

Katie-1: Uncle Buck

639

:

is, it's not really vacation, but mishaps.

640

:

It's either that or teen movies.

641

:

It's like one or the other,

642

:

Jared: Yes.

643

:

And, and this is this movie,

actually, I think it has a

644

:

little of both of those flavors

645

:

Katie-1: Good

646

:

Jared: because you cut away to the Teen

Romance a lot, which when I was a kid,

647

:

I always thought kind of slowed things

down and watching it again, I was like,

648

:

eh, it still kind of slows things down.

649

:

Katie-1: It kind.

650

:

you're you're right.

651

:

It, know, and it's interesting because

I noticed so we'll get into the cast

652

:

a little bit, but, so there's John

Candy's family has, it's two boys, right?

653

:

Jared: Yes.

654

:

Katie-1: And one of them's name's Buck

655

:

Jared: Buck and Benny.

656

:

Was it

657

:

be Benny?

658

:

Yeah.

659

:

Katie-1: yeah, yeah, you're right.

660

:

B Buck and Benny Ripley

661

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

662

:

Katie-1: is the one that has, they're in

663

:

this this like vacation town, this like

664

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

665

:

Katie-1: type of town.

666

:

And so

667

:

there's a townie that he,

know, kind of falls for.

668

:

the only, I think I did have tension

when he keeps looking at his watch.

669

:

He's supposed to meet Cammy

670

:

Jared: Yes.

671

:

Katie-1: or something,

672

:

And

673

:

he, they're still

674

:

Jared: he,

675

:

Katie-1: for

676

:

John Candy to eat this gigantic steak.

677

:

And it's like, He's like, oh my

God, I'm gonna be late meeting

678

:

Camie and she's gonna be mad.

679

:

And I'm like,

680

:

if only he,

681

:

had a phone to text

682

:

Jared: yeah.

683

:

Oh

684

:

Katie-1: It would

685

:

Jared: man.

686

:

Katie-1: you

687

:

Jared: phones would, cell phones

would ruin 90% of the movies that

688

:

came out in the eighties these days.

689

:

Katie-1: Indeed.

690

:

Jared: Like you would just

get around every particular e,

691

:

every conceivable plot point.

692

:

You could, if you had a

cell phone in those movies.

693

:

Katie-1: you could have

just texted that person

694

:

Jared: Sure.

695

:

Hey, yeah.

696

:

My dad's eating this giant steak.

697

:

I, I, I can't get outta here.

698

:

So, but yeah, no, no.

699

:

Cell phones.

700

:

He's going to pay phones

throughout the film,

701

:

Katie-1: and he has to

702

:

Jared: He,

703

:

Katie-1: up at her job And be

704

:

Jared: yes.

705

:

Katie-1: And go find her

706

:

in the wild.

707

:

Jared: You know what's funny about Cammie

is that as a teenager I always got sort

708

:

of flipped her and Tia from Uncle Buck.

709

:

Like I would always transpose the two.

710

:

Is that the same girl?

711

:

Yeah, yeah.

712

:

Very, very similar.

713

:

Katie-1: Good

714

:

Yeah.

715

:

They look very much similar.

716

:

Jared: yes.

717

:

Yeah, they do.

718

:

Katie-1: Maybe

719

:

Jared: And

720

:

Katie-1: maybe that's his deal.

721

:

I don't know.

722

:

Or not John Candy.

723

:

John

724

:

Jared: John Hughes.

725

:

Yeah.

726

:

And even when I sat down to watch

this last night, I was like, I.

727

:

Was this the same girl from Uncle Buck?

728

:

Wait.

729

:

And then, pulling up IMDB immediately,

and you're like, oh, okay.

730

:

Well she looks a little different.

731

:

I mean, but they are very similar looking.

732

:

Katie-1: they are.

733

:

Well, let's see.

734

:

Lucy Deacons is the, the, the woman who,

735

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

736

:

Katie-1: at the time who played Camie.

737

:

She was the local girl

and the a and w waitress.

738

:

what I found very interesting is

that she is not an actress anymore,

739

:

Jared: I saw this.

740

:

Katie-1: she, she was most known,

aside from this movie, she starred

741

:

as Millie in the Boy Who Could Fly.

742

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

743

:

Katie-1: And she

744

:

originated the role of Lily

Walsh on As the World Turns.

745

:

I've never seen that show, but

746

:

Jared: Wow.

747

:

Katie-1: have.

748

:

But she

749

:

is now an attorney

750

:

Jared: Yeah.

751

:

Katie-1: Denver.

752

:

Jared: Holy cow,

753

:

Katie-1: It says,

754

:

Partner in the Denver law firm,

duning, deacons, and Gura.

755

:

Jared: man.

756

:

Katie-1: Maybe I

757

:

Jared: you should have,

758

:

Katie-1: her at the

759

:

Jared: you should have, you should have

gone and grabbed her and said, Hey,

760

:

Katie-1: Can you?

761

:

Jared: we're doing a

great outdoors podcast.

762

:

So that's amazing.

763

:

Katie-1: Yeah.

764

:

So that's, that's Lucy Deacons as Cammie.

765

:

She was very cute.

766

:

I liked

767

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

768

:

Katie-1: liked her character.

769

:

Jared: Yeah.

770

:

And I, she was, when I was a kid, I, I

was 13 when this came out and I saw it

771

:

in the theater, so, that the, the buck,

he was a little older than me, but I

772

:

did, even though I thought the romance

kind of slowed things down, I, I, I, I

773

:

related to him a little bit because, I was

13 and, I was, I liked girls a lot and,

774

:

Katie-1: Did

775

:

Jared: um, Yeah.

776

:

And and I, so I was, I would see him

and be like, I would think, I remember

777

:

thinking man, I wonder if I could, I.

778

:

Talk to a girl like that if we were

on vacation somewhere, and, and I was

779

:

so, I was kind of pulling for him.

780

:

But anyway, I, I don't know where

the heck I was going with that, but

781

:

Katie-1: Well, it's

782

:

Jared: you know, I,

783

:

Katie-1: like you're on vacation

784

:

Jared: yeah,

785

:

Katie-1: your family, and he's he

786

:

didn't want

787

:

Jared: yeah,

788

:

Katie-1: of embarrassing, when

789

:

Jared: sure.

790

:

Exactly.

791

:

And you, I, I felt, I, I could relate

to Buck in that moment where John Candy

792

:

were, where Chet's trying to hug his son.

793

:

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

794

:

Jared: And now I relate to that as

a father, because, my daughter's

795

:

like, dad, don't be dumb.

796

:

Don't be gross.

797

:

I was like, I just wanna give you a hug.

798

:

What's the problem?

799

:

Katie-1: you're

800

:

Jared: And

801

:

Katie-1: old for a hug.

802

:

Jared: no.

803

:

Exactly.

804

:

And so it's funny how.

805

:

The movies that you grow up with, they,

they sort of change as the years go on

806

:

and you start to relate to other people.

807

:

Like watching that movie last

night, I mean, John Candy's

808

:

probably was probably younger than

I am now when he made that movie

809

:

Katie-1: A hundred

810

:

Jared: and.

811

:

Katie-1: was probably in his thirties.

812

:

Jared: Yeah.

813

:

And I'm watching that going, I can

relate to this wanting my daughter

814

:

to enjoy herself or, that goofy scene

at the beginning when he's trying

815

:

to fool around with his wife and

he's like, Hey, the kids are gone.

816

:

What?

817

:

We got the house to ourself.

818

:

Come on.

819

:

What are you doing?

820

:

These are all things you think

about sometimes when you,

821

:

you got kids running around.

822

:

But it's, it's just funny how I start,

especially having not watched it in

823

:

so long how I was like, holy crap.

824

:

I, I'm, I think I'm Chet Ripley right now.

825

:

I'm, I'm more Chet than

anybody else in this movie.

826

:

So that's just one of those crazy things.

827

:

Katie-1: It is.

828

:

Chet Chet's, John Candy, Chet

829

:

Jared: yes,

830

:

Katie-1: Candy.

831

:

Dan Akroyd plays

832

:

Roman Craig, his brother-in-law.

833

:

Jared: yes.

834

:

And.

835

:

Katie-1: about, oh, go

836

:

ahead.

837

:

Jared: No, I'm sorry.

838

:

I just, and I, I kept forgetting

that, John Candy's wife and

839

:

Annette Benning are sisters.

840

:

Katie-1: That's how they're Yeah.

841

:

good

842

:

Jared: Yeah.

843

:

And because the whole, I mean, even last

night watching, I was like, wait a second.

844

:

What, how, what is their relationship?

845

:

How are they, oh and, but they

don't really go much into that.

846

:

Katie-1: they

847

:

Jared: they, they share a, they share a

few scenes where it's like, okay, well

848

:

they're, they're talking sister stuff.

849

:

But for the most part, the, the

focus is on John Candy and Dan Roy.

850

:

Katie-1: Yeah.

851

:

I even.

852

:

Similar to you, Jared,

when I was watching it.

853

:

'cause there was a scene where John Candy

is explaining, why he picked going to this

854

:

particular Lake, lake resort in Wisconsin,

I think is where they are supposed to be.

855

:

And he's

856

:

like, oh, I came here with my dad and I,

at first I said, why is he saying my dad?

857

:

Because I thought they were brothers or so

858

:

Jared: You thought that that

859

:

Katie-1: And

860

:

Jared: and Kandy were brothers?

861

:

Yeah.

862

:

Katie-1: no, no.

863

:

That's why he's saying my dad,

864

:

Jared: Yeah.

865

:

Katie-1: their, it's

866

:

their spouses are related.

867

:

Jared: Yes.

868

:

Correct.

869

:

Katie-1: So we

870

:

were talking about Buck.

871

:

He he's played by Chris Young.

872

:

Jared: What's Chris

Young up to these days?

873

:

Well, wow.

874

:

Katie-1: nothing past

875

:

1998, apparently he did

look kind of familiar to me.

876

:

He was in several, apparently

Max Hedge room episodes.

877

:

Jared: Okay.

878

:

Katie-1: And a 1990

879

:

TV show called Married People.

880

:

But his he must just be

a regular, regular dude.

881

:

Maybe he's

882

:

Jared: Yeah,

883

:

Katie-1: maybe he's hanging

out with Lucy Deacons

884

:

Jared: he, he may be there in Denver.

885

:

You never know.

886

:

He, he might still be

following her around.

887

:

Katie-1: it's highly likely, I think.

888

:

Yeah.

889

:

So that

890

:

is the older brother.

891

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

892

:

Katie-1: So John

893

:

Candy, Chet Ripley, he's married to

Connie, played by Stephanie Pharisee,

894

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

895

:

Katie-1: a lot of episodic TV shows.

896

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

897

:

Katie-1: the other movies she

898

:

was in were sideways in Temple Grandin.

899

:

She has a familiar face,

but I, I didn't, I was

900

:

Jared: Yeah.

901

:

Katie-1: like, oh, she's

in blah, blah, blah.

902

:

Jared: I think she's, this movie's

the only thing I've seen her in.

903

:

Katie-1: Okay.

904

:

And then we have the beautiful Annette

Benning playing, Roman's wife, Kate Craig,

905

:

Jared: Yes,

906

:

Katie-1: know who Annette Benning

907

:

is.

908

:

Jared: of course.

909

:

Yeah.

910

:

That was, this was a kind of

an early role for her, I think.

911

:

Katie-1: A good point.

912

:

Jared: this was before

she was Annette Benning.

913

:

Katie-1: Yeah.

914

:

Yeah.

915

:

It's funny 'cause I.

916

:

really

917

:

Jared: I.

918

:

Katie-1: like she really

is beautiful and for,

919

:

it, I think when she goes on later to

have shorter hair, it throws me off

920

:

Jared: Mm-hmm.

921

:

Yeah.

922

:

Katie-1: I feel like

923

:

she's been around longer than

924

:

she has been.

925

:

Maybe, I don't

926

:

Jared: Yeah.

927

:

Also very Annette Benning's character

at times reminds me a lot of Marcy

928

:

from Uncle Buck.

929

:

Katie-1: Lori Metcalf's

930

:

Jared: Yes, yes, yes.

931

:

Katie-1: really?

932

:

Jared: she, she does, I mean,

she's not as kinda weird as.

933

:

As Marcy is, but I don't know it.

934

:

There's a similar thing.

935

:

They both, have dressed nicely in nice

clothes and everything and that's just

936

:

something that comes up because, this

is, it's, it's almost like you've got

937

:

the, the, this, this candy series of

years from plane trains and automobiles

938

:

to this, to Uncle Buck to home alone.

939

:

It's, it's, it follows

this, this trajectory.

940

:

And sometimes I transpose

characters from these movies.

941

:

Katie-1: that totally makes sense.

942

:

Yeah.

943

:

And I can see that like

944

:

rich lady clothes, she, they

all have matching Louis Vuitton

945

:

Jared: Yes,

946

:

Katie-1: when they

947

:

show up in the Mercedes.

948

:

Jared: yes,

949

:

Katie-1: like clearly.

950

:

And then it's like

951

:

rich people food.

952

:

Jared: Yeah.

953

:

With the lobster tails

instead of the hot dogs and.

954

:

Katie-1: and.

955

:

goat cheese pizza.

956

:

That

957

:

Jared: Yeah.

958

:

He goes,

959

:

Katie-1: been like

960

:

Jared: he was, and he

asked, he's like, what?

961

:

What?

962

:

What did you say?

963

:

He, she goes, oh, we're just having pizza.

964

:

It's pizza.

965

:

No, you said something else.

966

:

Is it goat pizza?

967

:

What is this?

968

:

So that was, that's always fun.

969

:

Katie-1: it.

970

:

But don't you remember that

being like on fancy menus, like

971

:

a goat cheese in things like

972

:

Jared: You're like goat.

973

:

Katie-1: food from the

974

:

Jared: Yeah, goat cheese.

975

:

Man, that in gray.

976

:

Poupon, come on.

977

:

Katie-1: Yes.

978

:

Yes.

979

:

Okay.

980

:

So there's two sons

that the Ripley's have,

981

:

Jared: Yes.

982

:

Katie-1: one.

983

:

Benny

984

:

is he played Zach Girls

Just Wanna Have Fun.

985

:

And then he was in a lot of one-off

episodes of pop, like popular TV shows,

986

:

but just like a one-off character.

987

:

Jared: Yeah.

988

:

Katie-1: his name is Ian

989

:

Gidi.

990

:

Jared: Yeah.

991

:

He's kind of a hottie now.

992

:

Katie-1: Is he?

993

:

Ooh,

994

:

Jared: I saw,

995

:

Katie-1: it

996

:

Jared: I saw him on IMDB and I

was like, well, this is, this

997

:

guy's kind of handsome looking.

998

:

And then, and then I,

then I saw who it was.

999

:

I was like, holy crap.

:

00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:32,509

That's the little brother

:

00:36:32,794 --> 00:36:34,354

Katie-1: Let me see.

:

00:36:34,579 --> 00:36:35,539

Jared: on IMDB.

:

00:36:35,539 --> 00:36:37,849

His picture is, he looks pretty nice.

:

00:36:39,144 --> 00:36:40,374

I, he looks like, I dunno.

:

00:36:41,319 --> 00:36:41,709

Katie-1: You

:

00:36:41,784 --> 00:36:42,624

Jared: like a male model.

:

00:36:42,984 --> 00:36:44,724

He's like a male model looking guy.

:

00:36:44,769 --> 00:36:46,119

Katie-1: You know what it is?

:

00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,429

It's, I think he must be Italian.

:

00:36:48,459 --> 00:36:49,029

And I have a

:

00:36:49,194 --> 00:36:49,614

Jared: Okay.

:

00:36:50,304 --> 00:36:51,084

Oh, there you go.

:

00:36:51,189 --> 00:36:51,399

Katie-1: he's

:

00:36:51,414 --> 00:36:53,064

Jared: That, yeah, he's

definitely Italian.

:

00:36:54,159 --> 00:36:54,609

Katie-1: dark.

:

00:36:54,609 --> 00:36:56,079

Yeah, you're right.

:

00:36:56,079 --> 00:36:58,659

I'm gonna have to find him in some stuff.

:

00:36:58,914 --> 00:37:00,204

Jared: Maybe he's in Denver too.

:

00:37:00,264 --> 00:37:00,594

Hey

:

00:37:01,329 --> 00:37:02,139

Katie-1: maybe.

:

00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:04,049

And then the, then the,

:

00:37:04,099 --> 00:37:06,649

Spooky redheaded

:

00:37:07,084 --> 00:37:08,854

Jared: Oh, the, the twins.

:

00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:11,479

Katie-1: of Roman and,

:

00:37:11,989 --> 00:37:12,679

and Kate.

:

00:37:12,709 --> 00:37:12,859

Her

:

00:37:13,054 --> 00:37:13,504

Jared: Yeah,

:

00:37:13,789 --> 00:37:14,359

Katie-1: and Kate.

:

00:37:15,574 --> 00:37:16,354

Jared: they are.

:

00:37:17,279 --> 00:37:20,584

They, they go out of their

way to make them really weird.

:

00:37:21,109 --> 00:37:24,469

Katie-1: They per, they do, they do

because like in and of themselves,

:

00:37:24,574 --> 00:37:25,774

Jared: I mean, they're, they're like cute.

:

00:37:25,834 --> 00:37:29,674

They're like cute kids, but, but

they, they, the way they act and

:

00:37:29,674 --> 00:37:31,624

the way, everybody reacts to them.

:

00:37:31,744 --> 00:37:34,774

It's like, oh, these

little kids are strange.

:

00:37:35,204 --> 00:37:37,304

And chet's like freaked out by 'em.

:

00:37:37,304 --> 00:37:40,844

And, the, the two sons don't really

like their cousins very much.

:

00:37:40,844 --> 00:37:41,534

They're just like

:

00:37:41,614 --> 00:37:42,904

Katie-1: their own father is weirded

:

00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:43,924

Jared: yeah, yeah.

:

00:37:43,924 --> 00:37:44,464

He does it.

:

00:37:44,464 --> 00:37:48,594

That's, that's part of the, his, his

arc in the movie is that, he's, he's

:

00:37:48,594 --> 00:37:50,184

always, he's an absentee father.

:

00:37:50,184 --> 00:37:52,284

He doesn't really get involved with them.

:

00:37:53,124 --> 00:37:57,744

So it's, it's, it's

really strange, I think.

:

00:37:57,744 --> 00:37:59,664

Are they, are they still

:

00:38:00,264 --> 00:38:00,864

acting?

:

00:38:00,864 --> 00:38:01,194

Katie-1: No,

:

00:38:01,344 --> 00:38:01,524

Jared: No.

:

00:38:01,614 --> 00:38:02,574

Katie-1: did one other thing.

:

00:38:02,574 --> 00:38:04,254

So they are identical twins.

:

00:38:04,374 --> 00:38:04,854

Jared: Yes.

:

00:38:05,394 --> 00:38:06,039

Katie-1: and Rebecca

:

00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:10,794

Gordon play Kara and Mara,

or is it Cara and Mara Craig?

:

00:38:11,064 --> 00:38:11,574

Either way,

:

00:38:11,769 --> 00:38:12,249

Jared: Okay.

:

00:38:12,714 --> 00:38:13,044

Katie-1: do you

:

00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:13,929

Jared: Same, difference.

:

00:38:14,004 --> 00:38:17,754

Katie-1: Well, I, I, because I feel

like in one instance he said Cara,

:

00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,734

and in another instance he said, Kara,

:

00:38:19,929 --> 00:38:20,289

Jared: Well,

:

00:38:20,394 --> 00:38:21,054

Katie-1: not sure.

:

00:38:21,249 --> 00:38:24,234

Jared: they, he probably did, and

they're just like, well, you know

:

00:38:24,939 --> 00:38:25,149

Katie-1: They

:

00:38:25,254 --> 00:38:25,989

Jared: who, who knows?

:

00:38:26,739 --> 00:38:28,989

Katie-1: the, the mosquito coast

:

00:38:29,739 --> 00:38:30,429

Jared: That's right.

:

00:38:30,582 --> 00:38:31,659

Katie-1: 19, 86, which I have

:

00:38:31,659 --> 00:38:32,589

no idea what that is,

:

00:38:32,799 --> 00:38:33,609

Jared: That's a Harris.

:

00:38:33,699 --> 00:38:35,139

It's a Harrison Ford movie.

:

00:38:36,099 --> 00:38:36,639

Katie-1: Oh,

:

00:38:36,879 --> 00:38:37,659

Jared: mosquito coast.

:

00:38:37,659 --> 00:38:39,759

It has Harrison Ford

and River Phoenix in it.

:

00:38:40,299 --> 00:38:40,959

Katie-1: really?

:

00:38:40,989 --> 00:38:41,259

Katie-1: that?

:

00:38:42,819 --> 00:38:44,579

Jared: No, it's it's a pretty good movie.

Katie-1: I don't remember who

00:39:15,714 --> 00:39:19,104

He, so he played a character

called Pat on Veronica's closet.

:

00:39:19,409 --> 00:39:19,829

00:39:31,689 --> 00:39:32,534

Katie-1: but that must

:

00:39:32,534 --> 00:39:35,114

be, have been a regular on that show.

:

00:39:35,144 --> 00:39:40,214

Jared: Yeah, he, he's, he's had a, he

had a career that went back decades.

:

00:39:40,304 --> 00:39:42,774

He was in, you'll, he even pops up.

:

00:39:42,774 --> 00:39:46,284

I mean, he's, he's in a lot of those

old, like black and white TV shows

:

00:39:46,404 --> 00:39:47,994

from, like the sixties and stuff.

:

00:39:48,714 --> 00:39:50,664

So yeah,

:

00:39:50,784 --> 00:39:50,904

Katie-1: All

:

00:39:51,024 --> 00:39:53,184

Jared: just one of those

faces, those character actors

:

00:39:53,184 --> 00:39:54,684

who pops up in everywhere.

:

00:39:56,784 --> 00:39:56,904

Katie-1: I

:

00:39:57,129 --> 00:39:57,489

Jared: So,

:

00:39:57,504 --> 00:40:07,254

Katie-1: Uh, Is played by

Zoe Ann Zoan, Zan, ZOA.

:

00:40:08,034 --> 00:40:11,784

UNNE, Leroy or Leroy?

:

00:40:12,114 --> 00:40:13,134

I'm making it French.

:

00:40:13,194 --> 00:40:13,494

I don't

:

00:40:13,724 --> 00:40:14,014

Jared: Okay.

:

00:40:14,134 --> 00:40:14,914

Katie-1: That's quite a name.

:

00:40:14,914 --> 00:40:15,934

I apologize.

:

00:40:15,994 --> 00:40:16,204

Ms.

:

00:40:16,204 --> 00:40:18,064

Leroy, she's

:

00:40:18,169 --> 00:40:18,529

Jared: I,

:

00:40:18,604 --> 00:40:19,114

Katie-1: known.

:

00:40:19,249 --> 00:40:22,159

Jared: yeah, I don't, I didn't

really recognize her from anything.

:

00:40:22,504 --> 00:40:26,944

Katie-1: She seems to play a waitress

or a nurse in like random tv.

:

00:40:26,974 --> 00:40:27,484

Like one,

:

00:40:27,484 --> 00:40:29,254

not just like an episode here and there

:

00:40:29,569 --> 00:40:29,869

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:40:29,914 --> 00:40:30,634

Katie-1: TV show.

:

00:40:30,634 --> 00:40:32,974

And it's seemingly like

a waitress or a nurse

:

00:40:33,674 --> 00:40:33,964

Jared: Okay.

:

00:40:34,384 --> 00:40:35,044

Katie-1: So that's her.

:

00:40:35,449 --> 00:40:35,959

Jared: Gotcha.

:

00:40:36,094 --> 00:40:37,204

Katie-1: about Lucy Deacons in

:

00:40:37,204 --> 00:40:41,724

Denver, and then there was

the the waitress with the 96

:

00:40:42,489 --> 00:40:44,049

Jared: Oh, the, the old 96 er?

:

00:40:44,424 --> 00:40:44,754

Katie-1: er?

:

00:40:45,074 --> 00:40:45,294

Jared: Yep.

:

00:40:45,684 --> 00:40:49,104

Katie-1: The waitress at

that lodge is Nancy Lenahan,

:

00:40:49,794 --> 00:40:50,084

Jared: Okay.

:

00:40:50,184 --> 00:40:51,354

Katie-1: she's very familiar.

:

00:40:51,354 --> 00:40:51,654

Did,

:

00:40:51,714 --> 00:40:53,754

didn't you think she was recognizable?

:

00:40:53,754 --> 00:40:56,184

Did you recognize her from anything?

:

00:40:56,259 --> 00:40:58,659

Jared: Nothing, immediately

jumped out at her, at me.

:

00:40:59,049 --> 00:41:00,019

But I, I don't know.

:

00:41:00,019 --> 00:41:02,509

She's probably been in other

things I've seen, I'm sure.

:

00:41:03,544 --> 00:41:06,254

Katie-1: She is kind of one

of those character actresses.

:

00:41:06,254 --> 00:41:07,994

She's been in a lot of tv.

:

00:41:07,994 --> 00:41:11,684

She was most recently in

bless this Mess TV show,

:

00:41:11,864 --> 00:41:12,284

Jared: Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:13,124 --> 00:41:13,514

Katie-1: My name

:

00:41:13,634 --> 00:41:13,924

Jared: Okay.

:

00:41:14,744 --> 00:41:15,204

Oh wow.

:

00:41:15,224 --> 00:41:16,844

Katie-1: Earth Grace Under Fire.

:

00:41:16,874 --> 00:41:21,344

So she was, had pretty decent

sized parts in all of those shows.

:

00:41:22,049 --> 00:41:22,649

Jared: Gotcha.

:

00:41:22,844 --> 00:41:23,024

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:24,359 --> 00:41:24,839

Jared: Wow.

:

00:41:24,854 --> 00:41:25,784

Katie-1: Thomas Newman.

:

00:41:27,299 --> 00:41:28,199

Jared: Thomas Newman.

:

00:41:28,699 --> 00:41:32,659

It was, I think it was

appropriate for what.

:

00:41:33,169 --> 00:41:38,379

Where it was used, I know they used a lot

of like songs and stuff in this movie.

:

00:41:38,879 --> 00:41:42,809

But the score was, the score

sort of reacted to the sort of

:

00:41:42,809 --> 00:41:44,489

the goofiness that was going on.

:

00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:48,209

I think it would, I think it did

what was required of it, but I, I,

:

00:41:48,209 --> 00:41:53,179

I wouldn't say it's a classic film

score by any stretch, but, it was

:

00:41:53,229 --> 00:41:54,069

it, it was fine.

:

00:41:54,799 --> 00:41:56,064

Katie-1: I, I think I, agree.

:

00:41:56,064 --> 00:41:59,904

Like I I definitely, you, you

all know who Thomas Newman is.

:

00:42:00,034 --> 00:42:00,454

Jared: Mm-hmm.

:

00:42:01,044 --> 00:42:05,904

Katie-1: scored like the Green Mile

American Beauty Cinderella, man.

:

00:42:06,194 --> 00:42:06,484

Jared: Yeah,

:

00:42:06,564 --> 00:42:08,784

Katie-1: Shawshank Redemption

:

00:42:08,994 --> 00:42:09,284

Jared: yeah,

:

00:42:09,294 --> 00:42:11,574

Katie-1: and Finding Nemo

and then the Great Outdoors.

:

00:42:12,879 --> 00:42:13,449

Jared: Yeah, Crazy.

:

00:42:13,614 --> 00:42:13,824

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:42:14,229 --> 00:42:18,219

Jared: One of the Newman Brothers,

David Newman is also a composer

:

00:42:18,774 --> 00:42:21,024

Katie-1: Oh, what did

:

00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:21,279

Jared: they're,

:

00:42:21,384 --> 00:42:22,404

Katie-1: is he known for?

:

00:42:22,829 --> 00:42:23,699

Jared: David Newman.

:

00:42:23,759 --> 00:42:24,689

Oh, goodness.

:

00:42:24,854 --> 00:42:25,364

Katie-1: that's okay.

:

00:42:25,364 --> 00:42:25,484

I

:

00:42:25,544 --> 00:42:28,604

Jared: I would have to look it up,

but they, they, they are brothers

:

00:42:28,694 --> 00:42:31,154

and they are quite, quite prolific.

:

00:42:31,309 --> 00:42:31,729

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:42:32,114 --> 00:42:36,224

Jared: and still, still composing

film scores as far as I'm, I'm aware.

:

00:42:36,579 --> 00:42:37,304

Katie-1: Oh, good.

:

00:42:37,904 --> 00:42:38,414

Jared: So,

:

00:42:38,444 --> 00:42:39,494

Katie-1: glad that they're alive and

:

00:42:39,494 --> 00:42:39,944

well,

:

00:42:40,184 --> 00:42:40,544

Jared: yeah.

:

00:42:40,604 --> 00:42:41,084

Yeah, they are.

:

00:42:41,714 --> 00:42:42,254

Katie-1: Very good.

:

00:42:44,084 --> 00:42:45,914

$24 million to make

:

00:42:46,309 --> 00:42:46,729

Jared: Mm-hmm.

:

00:42:46,874 --> 00:42:48,854

Katie-1: and it grossed.

:

00:42:49,709 --> 00:42:50,984

43.5

:

00:42:50,984 --> 00:42:56,819

million, which I'm not sure.

:

00:42:56,819 --> 00:43:00,689

So I was reading that it, this

was the 25th biggest film at the

:

00:43:00,689 --> 00:43:02,939

American Box office for that year,

:

00:43:03,439 --> 00:43:03,729

Jared: Okay.

:

00:43:05,619 --> 00:43:05,909

That,

:

00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:07,349

Katie-1: doesn't seem to

:

00:43:08,294 --> 00:43:08,474

Jared: That,

:

00:43:08,774 --> 00:43:09,719

Katie-1: 43 0.5

:

00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:10,199

million.

:

00:43:10,199 --> 00:43:10,349

that,

:

00:43:10,349 --> 00:43:12,149

doesn't seem to go, does

:

00:43:12,224 --> 00:43:14,714

Jared: that's, that's

not, that's not a huge

:

00:43:14,764 --> 00:43:14,944

That's,

:

00:43:14,944 --> 00:43:16,054

not a huge take.

:

00:43:16,249 --> 00:43:16,729

Katie-1: that's

:

00:43:16,784 --> 00:43:17,804

Jared: It didn't even double its money.

:

00:43:18,149 --> 00:43:19,979

Katie-1: that's what I, thought, so

:

00:43:20,014 --> 00:43:20,159

Jared: I I

:

00:43:20,249 --> 00:43:20,339

Katie-1: don't

:

00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:24,329

Jared: do know that this film is one

of those films that took off on VHS,

:

00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:29,999

like once it hit, once it hit the video

rental stores, people discovered it.

:

00:43:30,629 --> 00:43:35,729

And I think it's because of the video

stores that this, this movie has

:

00:43:35,819 --> 00:43:38,459

become some somewhat beloved by people.

:

00:43:39,214 --> 00:43:40,274

Katie-1: You're absolutely right.

:

00:43:40,409 --> 00:43:42,179

It was panned by critics,

:

00:43:42,599 --> 00:43:43,529

Jared: Yes, of course.

:

00:43:43,619 --> 00:43:44,429

Katie-1: but you're, you're

:

00:43:44,429 --> 00:43:44,789

right.

:

00:43:44,819 --> 00:43:47,399

Over, over the years,

it's become more beloved.

:

00:43:47,429 --> 00:43:47,819

Yeah.

:

00:43:47,909 --> 00:43:48,029

All

:

00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:48,569

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:51,779

Katie-1: You had mentioned some of

your history with this, that you,

:

00:43:51,779 --> 00:43:53,729

you speak in the great outdoors,

:

00:43:54,509 --> 00:43:54,989

Jared: yes,

:

00:43:55,149 --> 00:43:56,019

Katie-1: Versus,

:

00:43:56,079 --> 00:43:58,119

How was it revisiting it yesterday?

:

00:43:58,929 --> 00:44:00,039

Jared: it was fantastic.

:

00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:00,639

I, the.

:

00:44:01,794 --> 00:44:04,974

I was, I was laughing at,

out loud at parts of it.

:

00:44:05,154 --> 00:44:08,664

And, and parts that I didn't really

necessarily remember and aren't burned

:

00:44:08,664 --> 00:44:13,614

into my brain, but just like some of

the stuff Aykroyd was doing, like when,

:

00:44:13,884 --> 00:44:19,434

when he, he's telling the bear story

and, and, and then he he goes, oh,

:

00:44:19,854 --> 00:44:23,199

Jesus Christ, I'm 20 pounds overweight.

:

00:44:23,304 --> 00:44:25,704

You trying, he goes, I'm half drunk here.

:

00:44:25,944 --> 00:44:27,354

Whatcha are trying to do, kill me?

:

00:44:28,434 --> 00:44:32,984

It's just I can hear like maybe

one of my uncles saying that, it,

:

00:44:33,074 --> 00:44:37,094

it's just, I, I don't know why

that, that made me laugh so much.

:

00:44:37,404 --> 00:44:40,764

But a lot of the stuff Aykroyd was

doing, I thought was really funny.

:

00:44:41,324 --> 00:44:48,104

And, and then too, John Candy, just

like when he's, he's just exhausted.

:

00:44:48,104 --> 00:44:52,894

Like when he, his, he, the horse runs

away from him and he's trudging through

:

00:44:52,894 --> 00:44:57,994

the woods and he comes, he's all red

and sweaty and he's just like, Hey, hey.

:

00:44:59,494 --> 00:45:00,664

Yeah, I, I don't know.

:

00:45:00,694 --> 00:45:03,274

That stuff was just cracking me up.

:

00:45:03,604 --> 00:45:06,374

And then of course it's, the,

the greatest hits, the stuff

:

00:45:06,374 --> 00:45:07,844

that lives in my head always.

:

00:45:08,404 --> 00:45:10,174

It was fun to, to see that.

:

00:45:10,174 --> 00:45:13,204

And I was like watching him eat

that steak and I'm like, well,

:

00:45:13,204 --> 00:45:17,424

he's, he's trying to do it in small

bites, the bites were really small.

:

00:45:17,424 --> 00:45:20,454

And I was like, well, that's

probably the, the smart way.

:

00:45:20,454 --> 00:45:23,484

If you're gonna try to do something

like that, that's probably the

:

00:45:23,484 --> 00:45:25,344

way you should try to do it.

:

00:45:26,094 --> 00:45:26,544

But he.

:

00:45:26,574 --> 00:45:27,444

Katie-1: Eating an elephant.

:

00:45:27,444 --> 00:45:28,764

One small bite at a time.

:

00:45:28,899 --> 00:45:29,499

Jared: exactly.

:

00:45:29,499 --> 00:45:30,369

Just a little bit.

:

00:45:30,479 --> 00:45:30,769

Katie-1: Yeah.

:

00:45:31,149 --> 00:45:36,224

Jared: And then I, I had a good time and

I actually, I put it back on this morning

:

00:45:36,584 --> 00:45:39,934

as I was just sort of walking around

doing stuff around the house and I don't

:

00:45:39,934 --> 00:45:41,674

know, it was, it was com It's comfortable.

:

00:45:41,674 --> 00:45:45,064

It was like, it was like putting

an old comfortable jacket on 'cause

:

00:45:45,064 --> 00:45:46,864

it's like so much stuff I remembered.

:

00:45:46,864 --> 00:45:50,884

But like I said, those bits that were

sticking out to me that did not before,

:

00:45:51,394 --> 00:45:58,174

just reacting to it as a, as now as

an adult with, with a kit of my own

:

00:45:58,174 --> 00:46:02,014

and, and sort of seeing it through

that lens now it was interesting.

:

00:46:02,749 --> 00:46:04,609

For me, it, it, it holds up.

:

00:46:04,639 --> 00:46:07,189

I mean, it's, it's

definitely, it's eighties.

:

00:46:07,459 --> 00:46:12,579

And like I said, the I think that the,

the teenage story sometimes bogs it

:

00:46:12,579 --> 00:46:16,359

down a little bit, 'cause I, I was

thinking last night I was like, okay,

:

00:46:16,359 --> 00:46:18,639

let's get back to Candy and Aykroyd.

:

00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:22,749

But very slapstick and goofy,

especially the stuff with the bear,

:

00:46:22,859 --> 00:46:23,279

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:46:23,339 --> 00:46:24,089

Jared: Towards the end.

:

00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,559

But for the most part I was like,

yeah, I, I still really enjoy this.

:

00:46:29,169 --> 00:46:32,829

There was things in it that I

was wondering about they, they,

:

00:46:32,919 --> 00:46:36,939

they call it the bear dump

where they just go watch Bears

:

00:46:37,329 --> 00:46:38,619

rifle through garbage.

:

00:46:38,939 --> 00:46:40,139

Katie-1: I forgot about that.

:

00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:41,059

That's.

:

00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:43,749

Jared: I was like, I was

like, is this a thing?

:

00:46:43,799 --> 00:46:45,689

Is this a real thing that people do?

:

00:46:45,839 --> 00:46:48,869

And I couldn't help but,

but wonder eh, do people.

:

00:46:49,904 --> 00:46:53,684

Do this at like campsites, like

they just go to where the trash is

:

00:46:53,684 --> 00:46:55,304

and watch the Bears root through it

:

00:46:55,637 --> 00:46:59,117

Katie-1: There were several instances

where it's unrealistic in so many ways.

:

00:46:59,117 --> 00:47:03,197

Like when the bear breaks the door

down and is on top of John Candy,

:

00:47:03,302 --> 00:47:04,412

Jared: keeps pushing him.

:

00:47:04,457 --> 00:47:04,847

Katie-1: I'm like,

:

00:47:05,297 --> 00:47:06,377

that would kill him.

:

00:47:06,437 --> 00:47:06,707

Like

:

00:47:06,842 --> 00:47:07,292

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:47:07,367 --> 00:47:07,997

Katie-1: right?

:

00:47:08,072 --> 00:47:09,992

Jared: like there was a

stunt man under there.

:

00:47:10,457 --> 00:47:10,757

Katie-1: I don't

:

00:47:10,802 --> 00:47:11,462

Jared: so I

:

00:47:12,692 --> 00:47:14,192

How did they pull that off?

:

00:47:14,477 --> 00:47:16,097

Katie-1: of the bear, it's Bart the Bear.

:

00:47:16,172 --> 00:47:18,482

Jared: It is, that's your

legends of the Fall bear.

:

00:47:18,687 --> 00:47:19,667

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:47:19,952 --> 00:47:23,852

Jared: I thought of that because I

listened to your and, and Ryan's show

:

00:47:23,882 --> 00:47:25,862

that you did about Legends of the Fall,

:

00:47:26,147 --> 00:47:26,897

Katie-1: on his

:

00:47:26,917 --> 00:47:28,447

Jared: z flicks.

:

00:47:28,522 --> 00:47:28,642

Katie-1: Zw

:

00:47:28,807 --> 00:47:30,037

Jared: ZZ flicks.

:

00:47:30,112 --> 00:47:30,262

Katie-1: So

:

00:47:30,427 --> 00:47:30,847

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:47:30,862 --> 00:47:31,282

Katie-1: guys.

:

00:47:31,687 --> 00:47:35,317

Jared: So, I, I was gonna bring

that up because that is the

:

00:47:35,317 --> 00:47:36,937

bear from Legends of the Fall.

:

00:47:37,102 --> 00:47:39,502

Katie-1: He was like a,

the bear of my childhood.

:

00:47:39,832 --> 00:47:41,332

Bart was in a lot of things.

:

00:47:41,742 --> 00:47:42,032

Jared: Yeah,

:

00:47:42,502 --> 00:47:44,662

Katie-1: him being in various movies.

:

00:47:44,662 --> 00:47:46,882

I don't know, Bart The Bear was like a big

:

00:47:46,897 --> 00:47:50,767

Jared: well, I guess if you

need a trained grizzly bear,

:

00:47:50,887 --> 00:47:52,387

I mean, that's a pretty niche.

:

00:47:53,317 --> 00:47:58,177

You just, you go to those people

like, Hey I need a grizzly bear

:

00:47:58,177 --> 00:48:01,957

for this film, and I don't want to

die trying to film with a wild one.

:

00:48:01,957 --> 00:48:03,397

So what's Bart doing?

:

00:48:03,907 --> 00:48:04,397

Katie-1: Well, yes.

:

00:48:04,397 --> 00:48:04,398

Okay.

:

00:48:04,812 --> 00:48:07,542

So the, so I don't know where I was

going with that other than there are

:

00:48:07,542 --> 00:48:11,232

a lot of things with this that aren't

actually realistic in, and I don't

:

00:48:11,232 --> 00:48:16,692

know how things were in the eighties,

but nowadays would be clear signs.

:

00:48:16,692 --> 00:48:20,612

Do not feed the wildlife

don't leave trash out.

:

00:48:20,672 --> 00:48:20,912

Like

:

00:48:20,972 --> 00:48:21,192

Jared: Yes,

:

00:48:21,422 --> 00:48:22,712

Katie-1: your, the bear will rip your

:

00:48:22,712 --> 00:48:24,752

car door off to get food inside.

:

00:48:24,802 --> 00:48:25,022

Jared: Yes.

:

00:48:25,102 --> 00:48:26,692

Katie-1: not interact

:

00:48:26,722 --> 00:48:28,342

with the bears in any way.

:

00:48:28,582 --> 00:48:29,272

Jared: Yes.

:

00:48:29,602 --> 00:48:35,362

And yet they, they people go to a field

to watch Bears ri rifle through garbage.

:

00:48:35,662 --> 00:48:35,992

And

:

00:48:36,772 --> 00:48:38,842

John Candy's throwing candy bars at 'em.

:

00:48:38,892 --> 00:48:39,702

Katie-1: Come here, bear.

:

00:48:39,942 --> 00:48:40,812

Jared: He goes, what do we got?

:

00:48:40,812 --> 00:48:42,102

We got a zag nut here.

:

00:48:43,692 --> 00:48:44,502

It's just,

:

00:48:44,562 --> 00:48:45,342

Katie-1: Oh man,

:

00:48:45,342 --> 00:48:46,482

Jared: It's ridiculous.

:

00:48:46,812 --> 00:48:46,962

Katie-1: it is.

:

00:48:47,142 --> 00:48:51,192

Jared: And one thing I wondered

about Bart, they obviously had to

:

00:48:51,192 --> 00:48:57,762

put like that makeup appliance on his

forehead because he's, he's bald, like

:

00:48:58,002 --> 00:49:00,042

right above his eyes and his nose.

:

00:49:00,067 --> 00:49:00,487

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:49:00,642 --> 00:49:04,122

Jared: And that's what I was

looking at going, man, how the

:

00:49:04,122 --> 00:49:07,332

heck did, did they get that on him?

:

00:49:07,332 --> 00:49:09,672

And, and how does it stay on him?

:

00:49:09,672 --> 00:49:10,812

What, what do they do?

:

00:49:11,172 --> 00:49:15,252

I mean, he's not they're not

setting Bart in a makeup chair and

:

00:49:15,252 --> 00:49:19,572

saying, okay, let's just put this

appliance on your forehead, buddy.

:

00:49:19,692 --> 00:49:20,982

Let's see how this works.

:

00:49:21,072 --> 00:49:21,252

Katie-1: Well,

:

00:49:21,342 --> 00:49:21,882

Jared: Um.

:

00:49:22,212 --> 00:49:24,193

Katie-1: Exceptionally well trained.

:

00:49:24,193 --> 00:49:24,195

He maybe

:

00:49:24,207 --> 00:49:27,177

Jared: I guess I would not,

I would not wanna be putting

:

00:49:27,237 --> 00:49:29,787

makeup appliances on Bart's head

:

00:49:30,177 --> 00:49:31,857

Katie-1: Or on his backside.

:

00:49:31,857 --> 00:49:32,007

I

:

00:49:32,037 --> 00:49:32,817

Jared: on his butt.

:

00:49:32,847 --> 00:49:33,087

His,

:

00:49:33,177 --> 00:49:33,987

Katie-1: you messing with their

:

00:49:33,987 --> 00:49:34,677

backsides,

:

00:49:35,067 --> 00:49:35,757

Jared: that's true.

:

00:49:35,827 --> 00:49:36,487

Katie-1: Very, even a

:

00:49:36,487 --> 00:49:38,107

dog might bite you, you

:

00:49:38,137 --> 00:49:39,247

Jared: Oh yeah, exactly.

:

00:49:39,517 --> 00:49:42,337

And he had a, that big old giant bare ass

:

00:49:42,337 --> 00:49:42,727

Katie-1: mm-hmm.

:

00:49:43,507 --> 00:49:47,677

Jared: bear, his bear's

bear ass, that big old butt.

:

00:49:47,677 --> 00:49:50,347

When he got shot again by

:

00:49:50,677 --> 00:49:51,547

John Candy,

:

00:49:52,357 --> 00:49:52,537

Katie-1: With

:

00:49:52,597 --> 00:49:52,897

Jared: but

:

00:49:52,947 --> 00:49:54,742

Katie-1: birdshot, buckshot, I don't know,

:

00:49:54,862 --> 00:49:57,112

Jared: with, with a, it was a lamp.

:

00:49:57,112 --> 00:50:02,767

He picked up the lamp because remember

the, the lamp was the shotgun and, and

:

00:50:02,967 --> 00:50:04,647

apparently it was loaded, of course,

:

00:50:04,882 --> 00:50:05,572

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:50:05,902 --> 00:50:07,672

Jared: even though it

was a functioning lamp.

:

00:50:07,702 --> 00:50:11,722

Katie-1: the, the owner, the

co-owner of this, this little resort.

:

00:50:12,022 --> 00:50:12,652

Jared: Yes.

:

00:50:12,922 --> 00:50:16,912

Katie-1: oh, and their dog

too had porcupine needles

:

00:50:17,182 --> 00:50:18,712

Jared: needles all in its face.

:

00:50:18,922 --> 00:50:19,642

Yes.

:

00:50:19,822 --> 00:50:20,242

Katie-1: about.

:

00:50:21,067 --> 00:50:24,877

quirky and they're like, oh, have you

ever given your dog a bath before?

:

00:50:25,147 --> 00:50:25,417

Like they

:

00:50:25,477 --> 00:50:25,767

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:50:25,897 --> 00:50:26,047

Katie-1: in the

:

00:50:26,272 --> 00:50:29,392

Jared: They're like, they're like,

Hey, she loves porcupines but

:

00:50:29,392 --> 00:50:32,182

hates humans and she's in heat.

:

00:50:32,962 --> 00:50:34,132

Too bad you're not a dog.

:

00:50:34,402 --> 00:50:36,922

That's what that reminds me of

when he goes up to the to the

:

00:50:36,922 --> 00:50:39,892

counter and that there's that horn.

:

00:50:40,012 --> 00:50:42,112

It says, blow me for service.

:

00:50:42,892 --> 00:50:43,582

And it's like,

:

00:50:43,777 --> 00:50:43,957

Katie-1: that.

:

00:50:44,062 --> 00:50:46,432

Jared: goes, he's like,

eh, blow me for service.

:

00:50:46,432 --> 00:50:47,452

Oh, that's interesting.

:

00:50:47,952 --> 00:50:50,492

The whole thing about, putting

your mouth on this horn

:

00:50:50,492 --> 00:50:53,072

that's hanging there, it just,

:

00:50:53,332 --> 00:50:53,542

Katie-1: have.

:

00:50:54,122 --> 00:50:54,722

Jared: sure.

:

00:50:54,812 --> 00:50:56,312

It's like, Hey, who cares?

:

00:50:56,312 --> 00:50:56,492

Yeah.

:

00:50:56,492 --> 00:50:57,362

Let's do this.

:

00:50:57,962 --> 00:51:01,232

And then he he gives it a

good old he bellows into it

:

00:51:01,232 --> 00:51:02,972

and, disturbs the whole place.

:

00:51:02,972 --> 00:51:04,352

But I, I thought that was funny.

:

00:51:05,627 --> 00:51:08,417

Katie-1: One of my favorite parts

actually was the opening scene.

:

00:51:08,447 --> 00:51:15,947

It was so like classic eighties, like the

contrasting drives to this, this cabin

:

00:51:16,307 --> 00:51:16,727

Jared: Yeah,

:

00:51:16,937 --> 00:51:18,347

Katie-1: of the families.

:

00:51:18,447 --> 00:51:20,217

Even the music was contrasting.

:

00:51:20,217 --> 00:51:22,197

I, I, I quite liked that.

:

00:51:22,827 --> 00:51:23,727

Jared: whether um,

:

00:51:23,727 --> 00:51:24,417

Katie-1: favorite parts

:

00:51:24,417 --> 00:51:24,987

actually.

:

00:51:25,107 --> 00:51:31,587

Jared: singing YY Yak, when, which is

sort of goes to, you go a year later

:

00:51:31,587 --> 00:51:36,687

and Chevy Chase is, they're singing

Christmas carols as they're driving.

:

00:51:36,897 --> 00:51:37,287

And

:

00:51:37,337 --> 00:51:37,637

Katie-1: And the

:

00:51:37,757 --> 00:51:38,117

Jared: that's

:

00:51:38,177 --> 00:51:39,617

Katie-1: wagoner, it

was very reminiscent of

:

00:51:39,667 --> 00:51:39,887

Jared: yes.

:

00:51:40,112 --> 00:51:42,932

Katie-1: the wood grain station wagon in

:

00:51:43,027 --> 00:51:45,152

Jared: E Exactly, yes.

:

00:51:45,572 --> 00:51:49,382

And at some points in the movie, you

almost could literally swap out Chet

:

00:51:49,442 --> 00:51:52,472

with Clark Griswold, it seems like.

:

00:51:52,882 --> 00:52:00,742

But I, I do remember that, I, I watched

this on VHS for years with my parents.

:

00:52:00,772 --> 00:52:05,002

'cause my mom loves John Candy and,

every time she would watch this scene,

:

00:52:05,002 --> 00:52:06,702

she'd be like, oh, that's your dad.

:

00:52:06,732 --> 00:52:10,632

'cause my dad would like to sing

and stuff when he was driving and,

:

00:52:10,632 --> 00:52:12,612

try to get the, everybody involved.

:

00:52:12,612 --> 00:52:16,062

And everybody's just sort of like, okay.

:

00:52:16,222 --> 00:52:19,222

Although in this movie, the kids

were, everybody seemed to be

:

00:52:19,222 --> 00:52:23,332

having a good time when they're

singing along with, with the song.

:

00:52:23,482 --> 00:52:26,362

But that's, that's a memory I

have is that, my mom would just

:

00:52:26,362 --> 00:52:30,452

always laugh uncontrollably at,

John Candy doing this stuff.

:

00:52:30,992 --> 00:52:31,212

Katie-1: Aw,

:

00:52:31,577 --> 00:52:36,057

Jared: And, and to this date,

my dad still sometimes will go

:

00:52:36,687 --> 00:52:39,537

Big bear, big bear, big bear.

:

00:52:39,567 --> 00:52:42,177

Like at the end when he's all

out of breath and he is trying

:

00:52:42,177 --> 00:52:43,587

to explain what was going on.

:

00:52:43,797 --> 00:52:46,107

Sometimes my dad will

just do that randomly.

:

00:52:46,252 --> 00:52:46,572

Katie-1: your whole

:

00:52:46,647 --> 00:52:46,917

Jared: Uh,

:

00:52:47,312 --> 00:52:48,212

Katie-1: Has the great outdoors.

:

00:52:48,352 --> 00:52:48,812

You speak

:

00:52:48,867 --> 00:52:49,437

Jared: yes,

:

00:52:49,452 --> 00:52:49,572

Katie-1: outdoors.

:

00:52:50,187 --> 00:52:51,327

Jared: yes, exactly.

:

00:52:51,377 --> 00:52:55,007

That's, that's just, it's one

of those just through lines

:

00:52:55,007 --> 00:52:56,117

through my family, I guess.

:

00:52:56,297 --> 00:52:58,067

Everybody likes the great outdoors.

:

00:52:58,787 --> 00:53:02,957

Katie-1: That was another scene where

if only they had a phone that would've

:

00:53:03,227 --> 00:53:08,822

eliminated the need for the scene when

the girls, the weird redheaded girls get

:

00:53:09,007 --> 00:53:09,227

Jared: Yes.

:

00:53:09,302 --> 00:53:09,752

Katie-1: a, in a

:

00:53:10,082 --> 00:53:10,952

Jared: And mine.

:

00:53:11,192 --> 00:53:11,762

Katie-1: And

:

00:53:11,762 --> 00:53:18,572

John Candy goes to get help while

Roman be finally steps up to the plate

:

00:53:18,692 --> 00:53:19,682

Jared: yeah, he's the hero.

:

00:53:20,582 --> 00:53:23,012

Katie-1: But then he's like, oh, okay,

we're just gonna go back to the cabin.

:

00:53:23,492 --> 00:53:25,652

But he doesn't, John Candy

doesn't know that, and

:

00:53:25,742 --> 00:53:26,522

Jared: Exactly.

:

00:53:26,852 --> 00:53:29,342

He's out getting the ropes and stuff and

:

00:53:29,432 --> 00:53:30,602

Katie-1: bear's down there.

:

00:53:30,672 --> 00:53:30,882

So

:

00:53:30,897 --> 00:53:31,277

Jared: he goes,

:

00:53:31,332 --> 00:53:32,892

Katie-1: only Roman could

have texted him and be

:

00:53:32,892 --> 00:53:33,852

like, I got him.

:

00:53:33,852 --> 00:53:34,722

We're headed back.

:

00:53:35,292 --> 00:53:36,192

Jared: yeah, exactly.

:

00:53:36,462 --> 00:53:38,352

Again, you wouldn't have

a movie at that point.

:

00:53:38,772 --> 00:53:40,617

But yeah, that was that was funny.

:

00:53:41,162 --> 00:53:47,122

And how, I'm not sure that an abandoned

mine shaft full of dynamite would be just

:

00:53:47,122 --> 00:53:54,832

sort of so accessible, like with, with

the, the crappy little three pieces of

:

00:53:54,832 --> 00:53:56,842

wood they had over the covering of it.

:

00:53:56,932 --> 00:53:57,652

Katie-1: enter.

:

00:53:57,772 --> 00:53:57,982

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:53:57,982 --> 00:53:58,792

Do not enter.

:

00:53:59,122 --> 00:54:00,082

Oh gosh.

:

00:54:00,142 --> 00:54:00,382

Katie-1: how did

:

00:54:00,382 --> 00:54:00,802

Jared: And then,

:

00:54:00,862 --> 00:54:02,482

Katie-1: down there and up?

:

00:54:03,412 --> 00:54:06,082

Jared: yeah, well the,

the bear got up because

:

00:54:06,232 --> 00:54:06,322

Katie-1: The

:

00:54:06,412 --> 00:54:08,252

Jared: Chet pulled him

up and because he's oh.

:

00:54:08,462 --> 00:54:10,892

He goes, Jesus, Roman,

can you help me out here?

:

00:54:11,012 --> 00:54:12,362

Katie-1: I watched this two weeks ago.

:

00:54:12,362 --> 00:54:13,832

That's why I'm like,

oh yeah, that's right.

:

00:54:13,832 --> 00:54:14,792

But how did it, Yeah.

:

00:54:14,792 --> 00:54:15,602

Oh, wild.

:

00:54:15,602 --> 00:54:15,662

Yeah.

:

00:54:16,097 --> 00:54:21,297

Jared: But I actually, I did some,

some research or I, I googled it, it

:

00:54:21,357 --> 00:54:24,727

while the movie was playing because

Dan Aykroyd was, seemed, he was very

:

00:54:24,727 --> 00:54:27,457

concerned that it was old, wet, dynamite.

:

00:54:28,827 --> 00:54:32,877

And apparently old wet dynamite

is extremely dangerous.

:

00:54:33,237 --> 00:54:34,077

Katie-1: Really,

:

00:54:34,257 --> 00:54:34,887

Jared: Yes.

:

00:54:35,097 --> 00:54:35,487

That,

:

00:54:35,727 --> 00:54:36,147

Katie-1: that.

:

00:54:36,152 --> 00:54:37,042

What dynamite

:

00:54:37,257 --> 00:54:37,737

Jared: yeah.

:

00:54:37,797 --> 00:54:41,757

And, and it was even like the, the

movie was scientifically accurate

:

00:54:41,757 --> 00:54:47,757

because if you noticed on the dynamite

boxes, a lot of 'em had these crystals.

:

00:54:47,757 --> 00:54:50,367

It looked like salt on

the outside of them.

:

00:54:50,727 --> 00:54:53,817

And that's where the dynamite

sweats and that's nitroglycerin

:

00:54:54,372 --> 00:54:54,592

Katie-1: Oh,

:

00:54:55,437 --> 00:54:59,117

Jared: and that's what happens

when dynamite gets when, when

:

00:54:59,117 --> 00:55:02,417

dynamite is aged and gets wet.

:

00:55:02,772 --> 00:55:02,992

Katie-1: ah.

:

00:55:03,392 --> 00:55:05,042

Jared: It starts to sweat like that.

:

00:55:05,102 --> 00:55:08,262

And it is incredibly

volatile in that state.

:

00:55:08,622 --> 00:55:14,292

And I would wager to say everything that

Dan Aykroyd was doing down there, like

:

00:55:14,292 --> 00:55:20,872

moving around, they, they would've been

blown to pieces just because there was

:

00:55:20,872 --> 00:55:23,122

a lot of old wet dynamite down there.

:

00:55:23,122 --> 00:55:26,012

And apparently you can't

even, you can barely jostle

:

00:55:26,012 --> 00:55:28,172

it and it would just explode.

:

00:55:28,682 --> 00:55:29,222

So,

:

00:55:29,597 --> 00:55:29,867

Katie-1: I mean

:

00:55:29,912 --> 00:55:30,122

Jared: but

:

00:55:30,467 --> 00:55:31,877

Katie-1: for the great outdoors with the,

:

00:55:31,877 --> 00:55:32,147

all the

:

00:55:32,162 --> 00:55:32,612

Jared: oh yeah,

:

00:55:32,717 --> 00:55:33,827

Katie-1: with the bear, the

:

00:55:34,442 --> 00:55:39,152

Jared: Oh, the skis, oh God, that,

that's skiing scene is hilarious.

:

00:55:39,542 --> 00:55:40,582

He's I'm gonna die.

:

00:55:40,702 --> 00:55:41,452

I'm gonna die.

:

00:55:42,277 --> 00:55:45,877

Katie-1: No meaning like I I mean, I

don't know if they were like, who cares?

:

00:55:45,877 --> 00:55:49,267

Because the stunt person

was a very, clearly a

:

00:55:49,277 --> 00:55:49,497

Jared: Not,

:

00:55:49,627 --> 00:55:50,467

Katie-1: skinny

:

00:55:50,482 --> 00:55:51,562

Jared: Not, John Candy.

:

00:55:52,067 --> 00:55:53,987

Katie-1: It was so obviously not

:

00:55:54,387 --> 00:55:54,807

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:55:54,882 --> 00:55:56,442

Katie-1: the opposite of John Candy.

:

00:55:56,667 --> 00:55:59,607

Jared: could you imagine John

Candy on those skis today?

:

00:55:59,637 --> 00:56:02,697

Now today's technology, they could

have made that happen probably.

:

00:56:03,147 --> 00:56:08,187

But yeah, back then it's obviously

a skinny water skier who's in

:

00:56:08,187 --> 00:56:11,537

good shape, maybe wearing a

couple of extra layers of clothes.

:

00:56:11,852 --> 00:56:13,472

Katie-1: Like his Ja the jacket

:

00:56:13,667 --> 00:56:16,127

Jared: Yeah, they, they try

to bulk him up a little bit.

:

00:56:16,217 --> 00:56:20,057

But you know, you look at his legs

and it's like that guy, he's in shape.

:

00:56:20,087 --> 00:56:21,047

He knows what he's doing.

:

00:56:21,277 --> 00:56:21,697

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:56:21,857 --> 00:56:22,277

Jared: junk candy.

:

00:56:22,772 --> 00:56:25,382

Katie-1: And it went on and on, and on and

:

00:56:25,397 --> 00:56:25,697

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:56:25,697 --> 00:56:26,747

They just kept going.

:

00:56:27,257 --> 00:56:30,647

But one thing that made me laugh

out loud last night was he was like,

:

00:56:31,037 --> 00:56:34,997

calling Roman a bastard and they

thought he was saying, go faster.

:

00:56:35,672 --> 00:56:36,242

Katie-1: Oh yeah.

:

00:56:36,242 --> 00:56:36,302

Yeah.

:

00:56:36,527 --> 00:56:39,587

Jared: He was like, you

bastard, you bastard.

:

00:56:39,587 --> 00:56:42,857

And his wife's like, he

says, go faster, faster.

:

00:56:42,857 --> 00:56:44,297

He goes, okay, let's do it.

:

00:56:45,407 --> 00:56:47,267

So I, that made me laugh.

:

00:56:47,337 --> 00:56:48,087

Crazy.

:

00:56:49,457 --> 00:56:52,517

Katie-1: Did you recognize the

guy again I don't know what the

:

00:56:52,517 --> 00:56:54,377

purpose of this character was.

:

00:56:54,827 --> 00:56:58,427

The guy who gets hit by lightning

multiple times at the bar, he's like the

:

00:56:58,427 --> 00:57:01,037

stuttering guy with this, the streak.

:

00:57:02,447 --> 00:57:02,667

Jared: Yes.

:

00:57:03,037 --> 00:57:04,447

Katie-1: did well, I,

:

00:57:04,447 --> 00:57:08,437

I was like, that, what was the

purpose of him being in this movie,

:

00:57:08,632 --> 00:57:09,232

Jared: I don't know.

:

00:57:09,592 --> 00:57:12,592

Maybe to tell him there was

a storm coming, I guess.

:

00:57:13,282 --> 00:57:14,932

'cause you know he's running

through the woods and he gets

:

00:57:14,932 --> 00:57:16,462

struck again by lightning.

:

00:57:16,942 --> 00:57:20,422

Katie-1: I Did smile though,

because Did you recognize him

:

00:57:21,112 --> 00:57:22,552

another John Hughes movie?

:

00:57:25,672 --> 00:57:26,932

Jared: Well, now you've got me thinking.

:

00:57:27,952 --> 00:57:30,712

Katie-1: Immediately when I saw

him, I was like, oh my God, it's

:

00:57:30,712 --> 00:57:34,042

Gary's dad from Weird Science.

:

00:57:35,107 --> 00:57:35,717

Jared: Holy crap.

:

00:57:35,812 --> 00:57:36,322

It is.

:

00:57:36,712 --> 00:57:37,042

Maybe

:

00:57:37,042 --> 00:57:38,092

it's the pear that

:

00:57:38,512 --> 00:57:39,862

I didn't recognize.

:

00:57:40,252 --> 00:57:40,732

Katie-1: Yeah.

:

00:57:41,992 --> 00:57:42,352

Jared: Wow.

:

00:57:42,412 --> 00:57:42,952

There you go.

:

00:57:43,012 --> 00:57:44,122

Katie-1: was just like a,

:

00:57:44,182 --> 00:57:46,282

they wanted to make a

role for him to be in this

:

00:57:46,687 --> 00:57:47,137

Jared: Sure.

:

00:57:47,167 --> 00:57:49,927

Come on in, be the guy who gets

struck by lightning all the time.

:

00:57:51,462 --> 00:57:53,262

Katie-1: I quite enjoyed the raccoons

:

00:57:53,757 --> 00:57:54,177

Jared: Yeah.

:

00:57:54,177 --> 00:57:56,217

With the, the subtitles.

:

00:57:56,727 --> 00:57:57,087

Yeah.

:

00:57:57,777 --> 00:57:59,157

That was actually very clever.

:

00:57:59,382 --> 00:57:59,682

Katie-1: it?

:

00:58:00,492 --> 00:58:05,832

It was, and even I let it run all

the way through to the, there was a

:

00:58:05,832 --> 00:58:08,232

post credit scene with the raccoons.

:

00:58:08,487 --> 00:58:09,237

Jared: Oh, no kidding.

:

00:58:09,477 --> 00:58:11,607

I just watched it through

the dance sequence.

:

00:58:11,757 --> 00:58:12,387

I didn't

:

00:58:12,852 --> 00:58:17,492

Katie-1: there was a raccoon scene

at the end, I can't even remember

:

00:58:17,492 --> 00:58:21,062

what it was, but there was a, a

final post credit raccoon scene.

:

00:58:21,437 --> 00:58:22,007

Jared: Wow.

:

00:58:22,067 --> 00:58:26,387

And that, that kind of stuff was

absolutely rare back in those days.

:

00:58:26,807 --> 00:58:32,567

I mean, now they do it all the time, but

a post credit scene in:

:

00:58:34,052 --> 00:58:35,102

Katie-1: Yeah, I'm, that's a good point.

:

00:58:35,102 --> 00:58:36,542

I'm trying to think if there were any.

:

00:58:37,232 --> 00:58:42,092

So now because of that, I'm like, well,

I better let the credits roll and watch

:

00:58:42,092 --> 00:58:43,802

till the very, very, very end for the

:

00:58:43,862 --> 00:58:48,282

Jared: I just, well, in another

John Hughes film, Ferris Bueller

:

00:58:48,792 --> 00:58:55,002

had had another scene at the very

end where Ferris walks out and goes,

:

00:58:56,172 --> 00:58:57,192

you're still here?

:

00:58:57,822 --> 00:58:58,332

Katie-1: yeah.

:

00:58:58,512 --> 00:58:59,232

Jared: it's over.

:

00:58:59,382 --> 00:59:01,302

The movie's over go home.

:

00:59:01,872 --> 00:59:07,362

And, but with Ferris, there was a

whole scene that played throughout

:

00:59:07,362 --> 00:59:12,972

the credits with the, the principal

getting on the bus and it, it, and

:

00:59:12,972 --> 00:59:14,622

that played throughout the whole thing.

:

00:59:14,622 --> 00:59:17,232

So it was, you would've sat

there and probably watched it

:

00:59:17,307 --> 00:59:17,467

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

00:59:17,502 --> 00:59:20,202

Jared: and not just be watching

credit scroll on a screen.

:

00:59:21,072 --> 00:59:24,702

But yeah, maybe that was just a huge

thing Hey, yeah, we'll just put something

:

00:59:24,702 --> 00:59:26,202

a little extra in here at the end.

:

00:59:26,202 --> 00:59:27,642

Katie-1: for people who stuck around.

:

00:59:27,762 --> 00:59:28,542

Jared: Yeah, sure.

:

00:59:28,662 --> 00:59:29,592

Katie-1: appreciated it.

:

00:59:30,267 --> 00:59:34,377

Jared: Now I'm gonna go watch it after

we're done here to see what was they said?

:

00:59:34,887 --> 00:59:40,022

Katie-1: Well he also, another

thing, he uses the same names we

:

00:59:40,902 --> 00:59:41,562

Jared: Well,

:

00:59:42,207 --> 00:59:42,867

Katie-1: here,

:

00:59:43,692 --> 00:59:43,962

Jared: yeah,

:

00:59:43,977 --> 00:59:47,037

Katie-1: a chat in weird science, buck

:

00:59:47,262 --> 00:59:47,712

Jared: Buck.

:

00:59:47,997 --> 00:59:49,077

Katie-1: B and Uncle Buck

:

00:59:49,077 --> 00:59:49,977

what's the story?

:

00:59:50,067 --> 00:59:50,817

John Hughes.

:

00:59:50,997 --> 00:59:51,267

You just

:

00:59:51,402 --> 00:59:51,852

Jared: Yeah,

:

00:59:52,077 --> 00:59:53,067

Katie-1: just like chat and Buck.

:

00:59:54,402 --> 00:59:55,272

Jared: I guess so.

:

00:59:55,332 --> 00:59:59,622

Or maybe, he just gets into a, gets

into a creative rut and he's like,

:

01:00:00,162 --> 01:00:01,752

okay, well this guy can be buck.

:

01:00:01,782 --> 01:00:02,442

What the heck?

:

01:00:02,592 --> 01:00:03,222

Who cares?

:

01:00:03,312 --> 01:00:06,312

Katie-1: I mean unless he, like in

real life, unless it's a nod to people

:

01:00:06,312 --> 01:00:08,202

he knows or something in real life,

:

01:00:08,472 --> 01:00:09,792

Jared: That makes sense to me.

:

01:00:09,882 --> 01:00:15,132

I think maybe, maybe that's, that

that could be part of it, that he

:

01:00:15,132 --> 01:00:16,752

would just put maybe his buddy's

:

01:00:17,052 --> 01:00:21,462

names into his own movies

as just as a nod maybe.

:

01:00:23,657 --> 01:00:27,642

Katie-1: Do you remember when you

first watched this movie, did you

:

01:00:27,792 --> 01:00:33,377

track immediately did you predict that

Roman was broke when you were a kid?

:

01:00:33,687 --> 01:00:42,567

Jared: Well at, at 13, I saw this in

the theater, so I didn't, that I wasn't

:

01:00:42,567 --> 01:00:47,297

picking up on that, of course, I, I wasn't

reading too much into it, so I didn't

:

01:00:47,297 --> 01:00:53,227

really, see it coming, but watching

it now if I think they drop a couple

:

01:00:53,227 --> 01:00:59,677

of breadcrumbs that you can say, well,

something's not adding up with Roman.

:

01:01:00,517 --> 01:01:04,647

And so yeah, it's a little more obvious

to me now as an adult watching it.

:

01:01:04,647 --> 01:01:05,967

But as a kid, I didn't,

:

01:01:06,297 --> 01:01:07,557

I didn't have any idea.

:

01:01:08,082 --> 01:01:08,982

Katie-1: That does make sense.

:

01:01:08,982 --> 01:01:14,172

I just had the, I, because I've only

seen it as an adult, I saw it coming

:

01:01:14,172 --> 01:01:17,172

a mile away because they did, to

your point, they gave us breadcrumbs.

:

01:01:17,172 --> 01:01:17,532

But,

:

01:01:17,727 --> 01:01:18,147

Jared: Mm-hmm.

:

01:01:18,972 --> 01:01:19,722

Katie-1: yeah, I was,

:

01:01:19,782 --> 01:01:22,682

but I was like, the whole time, I'm

like, how are they gonna resolve it?

:

01:01:22,712 --> 01:01:23,762

How is this gonna come up?

:

01:01:24,122 --> 01:01:24,752

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:01:25,112 --> 01:01:25,322

Katie-1: that

:

01:01:25,472 --> 01:01:29,642

Jared: one thing I did forget when, when

Dan Aykroyd tells him that story about

:

01:01:29,642 --> 01:01:34,942

how, he was, heard, him overheard him in

the bathroom on his wedding day saying,

:

01:01:35,442 --> 01:01:38,082

that Roman is one crooked son of a bitch.

:

01:01:38,922 --> 01:01:42,612

And I'd forgotten I guess,

that he made that up

:

01:01:42,972 --> 01:01:43,172

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

01:01:43,392 --> 01:01:47,052

Jared: because I just assumed, I, I

totally forgotten in the movie that

:

01:01:47,262 --> 01:01:49,602

later he fenced to just making that up.

:

01:01:49,602 --> 01:01:51,072

And that didn't happen at all.

:

01:01:51,492 --> 01:01:55,562

But, I think for a long time I just

thought, oh yeah, I guess John Candy

:

01:01:55,952 --> 01:01:57,632

just lost his patience completely.

:

01:01:57,632 --> 01:02:00,647

And he could have certainly

said something like that, but.

:

01:02:01,622 --> 01:02:03,902

Last night, I think was the

first time I realized that,

:

01:02:04,862 --> 01:02:06,722

oh, wait, he didn't say that

:

01:02:07,787 --> 01:02:07,877

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

01:02:08,162 --> 01:02:09,902

Jared: and Aykroyd was being a jerk.

:

01:02:10,127 --> 01:02:10,397

Katie-1: like

:

01:02:10,562 --> 01:02:11,012

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:02:11,207 --> 01:02:12,017

Katie-1: in the movie.

:

01:02:12,087 --> 01:02:13,407

Chet is

:

01:02:13,422 --> 01:02:13,872

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:02:14,247 --> 01:02:15,327

Katie-1: a nice, like a good

:

01:02:15,327 --> 01:02:17,697

hearted person that you're

like, that seems odd,

:

01:02:18,042 --> 01:02:22,932

Jared: Well, he, Chet, he, he can

be pushed and, and I think we saw

:

01:02:22,932 --> 01:02:27,632

him at his lowest I want him outta

here, that he is ruining everything.

:

01:02:27,692 --> 01:02:28,832

He's a jerk.

:

01:02:28,892 --> 01:02:30,332

I don't like this.

:

01:02:31,142 --> 01:02:36,572

And it just, I, I think for, for most of

the time, he handled it remarkably well.

:

01:02:36,682 --> 01:02:41,542

If you just had somebody who you

were like, oh gosh, you know that

:

01:02:41,602 --> 01:02:46,062

whatever, friend you have who you're

just, you need a break from, and then

:

01:02:46,062 --> 01:02:47,592

all of a sudden they're like, Hey.

:

01:02:47,952 --> 01:02:50,262

We're gonna hang out all

week, and you'd be like,

:

01:02:51,172 --> 01:02:51,922

That's great.

:

01:02:52,777 --> 01:02:55,237

Katie-1: I would, oh, I

would've been so pissed.

:

01:02:55,267 --> 01:02:59,047

'cause it was, they didn't

know it was an unannounced

:

01:02:59,062 --> 01:02:59,692

Jared: Yes.

:

01:03:00,352 --> 01:03:00,802

Yeah,

:

01:03:01,087 --> 01:03:06,077

Katie-1: had very carefully, picked this

place for a week and then it's your like

:

01:03:06,107 --> 01:03:08,777

in-law brother that you don't like anyway.

:

01:03:08,807 --> 01:03:09,257

Yeah,

:

01:03:09,647 --> 01:03:09,917

Oh.

:

01:03:10,052 --> 01:03:10,442

Jared: sure.

:

01:03:10,937 --> 01:03:12,017

Katie-1: to keep your mouth

:

01:03:12,017 --> 01:03:12,797

shut in that

:

01:03:12,902 --> 01:03:14,942

Jared: Yes, absolutely.

:

01:03:15,112 --> 01:03:17,992

But, he held it together pretty

well throughout most of the film.

:

01:03:18,562 --> 01:03:22,362

I mean, when, when he first shows

up, videotaping with the giant

:

01:03:22,362 --> 01:03:24,702

camcorder on his shoulder, of

:

01:03:25,587 --> 01:03:26,307

Katie-1: They're, they're

:

01:03:26,352 --> 01:03:28,692

Jared: undressing his,

undressing his wife.

:

01:03:29,442 --> 01:03:33,692

It's like, okay, that's that

probably would've been it for me.

:

01:03:33,782 --> 01:03:35,912

But it's, it's one of those things.

:

01:03:36,272 --> 01:03:40,542

Even back then, seeing it as a kid I

could relate to oh gosh, that would be

:

01:03:40,542 --> 01:03:45,072

the worst if somebody you didn't like

showed up to just ruin your vacation.

:

01:03:45,142 --> 01:03:45,562

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

01:03:46,302 --> 01:03:50,002

Jared: So, and not to mention the

fact that he kept changing everything.

:

01:03:50,002 --> 01:03:52,642

He got a jet boat instead

of the pontoon boat,

:

01:03:52,782 --> 01:03:53,022

Katie-1: right.

:

01:03:53,542 --> 01:03:59,022

Jared: and he, he wanted, and his sons

would rather hang out with Uncle Roman

:

01:03:59,022 --> 01:04:01,362

than him and, and all this stuff.

:

01:04:01,362 --> 01:04:04,902

So just a, just a nightmare scenario.

:

01:04:07,077 --> 01:04:09,687

Katie-1: They both played

their parts very well, and I

:

01:04:09,762 --> 01:04:10,632

Jared: Y Yes.

:

01:04:10,677 --> 01:04:11,337

Katie-1: Benning played.

:

01:04:11,337 --> 01:04:11,547

Yeah.

:

01:04:11,547 --> 01:04:15,612

I, I really think that the,

even the kids were all right.

:

01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:16,932

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:04:17,397 --> 01:04:18,507

Katie-1: the adult actors

:

01:04:18,957 --> 01:04:26,817

really, think, played the family dynamics,

like just little things I picked up, I

:

01:04:26,817 --> 01:04:28,767

was like, oh, that seems pretty realistic.

:

01:04:29,292 --> 01:04:29,862

Jared: Yes.

:

01:04:30,132 --> 01:04:30,612

Yes.

:

01:04:31,032 --> 01:04:36,417

I, I thought everybody did a great job and

I, I sort of, I liked Aykroyd was, he was

:

01:04:36,477 --> 01:04:41,247

definitely, attempting some certain way of

speaking, like really yeah, that's right.

:

01:04:41,377 --> 01:04:45,662

He, not that he talks like that, but

just sort of this obnoxious yeah.

:

01:04:45,712 --> 01:04:48,552

Shit that's I gotta go introduce Mr.

:

01:04:48,612 --> 01:04:49,752

Thick Dick to Mr.

:

01:04:49,752 --> 01:04:50,652

Urinal cake,

:

01:04:51,162 --> 01:04:51,312

you

:

01:04:51,312 --> 01:04:51,462

know?

:

01:04:52,932 --> 01:04:54,777

Katie-1: you that's a

pretty good impression.

:

01:04:55,242 --> 01:04:55,632

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:04:55,677 --> 01:04:57,147

Katie-1: What it's, what is it like,

:

01:04:57,177 --> 01:04:57,477

like

:

01:04:57,477 --> 01:05:00,087

shyster, stockbroker

:

01:05:00,252 --> 01:05:04,762

Jared: Yeah, just sort of like a, a car

salesman type of guy, Hey, he's already

:

01:05:04,762 --> 01:05:10,212

gonna talk like this, it's and then John

Candy is, he's pretty much, I mean, John

:

01:05:10,212 --> 01:05:15,782

Candy has a, he has kind of a baseline

and, he, he turns it up a little bit this

:

01:05:15,782 --> 01:05:20,312

way for Uncle Buck when he's, he has to

be completely clueless in a goofball.

:

01:05:20,582 --> 01:05:24,302

But then he does have sort of like

the family man, Clark Griswold

:

01:05:24,302 --> 01:05:29,892

persona where he, he's sort of this

put upon person and, and, and he, he

:

01:05:29,892 --> 01:05:33,012

amps and then he goes the, he goes

as kind of a different way with it.

:

01:05:33,672 --> 01:05:36,672

Although I think his character in

planes, trains on automobiles is a

:

01:05:36,672 --> 01:05:42,432

little more like buck than, than his,

than his character in great outdoors.

:

01:05:43,197 --> 01:05:44,067

Katie-1: Definitely.

:

01:05:44,412 --> 01:05:49,752

Jared: Although his character in planes

has more of a sad story than, than, buck

:

01:05:50,002 --> 01:05:58,482

who's sort of a loser by choice and, and

his character in planes is, is he's, he's

:

01:05:58,542 --> 01:06:00,971

really trying to, to be a better guy,

:

01:06:01,362 --> 01:06:01,692

but,

:

01:06:01,977 --> 01:06:02,247

Katie-1: but

:

01:06:02,442 --> 01:06:02,712

Jared: and

:

01:06:02,846 --> 01:06:05,757

Katie-1: have a, bit of

a lack of self-awareness

:

01:06:05,802 --> 01:06:07,002

Jared: Oh, a hundred percent.

:

01:06:08,232 --> 01:06:08,532

Yeah.

:

01:06:08,772 --> 01:06:13,182

And, but in this movie, he's sort of,

he's, he's very, he's very even keeled.

:

01:06:13,182 --> 01:06:15,132

I think he, he's the straight man

:

01:06:15,327 --> 01:06:15,777

Katie-1: is,

:

01:06:15,852 --> 01:06:16,272

Jared: movie.

:

01:06:16,737 --> 01:06:20,277

Katie-1: which I first, I, because

I hadn't seen this, and when I was

:

01:06:20,277 --> 01:06:24,147

doing the research for this, I was

like, oh, Dan Aykroyd is playing

:

01:06:24,957 --> 01:06:27,787

the bill Murray, Bob, I guess

:

01:06:27,917 --> 01:06:28,337

Jared: mm-hmm.

:

01:06:28,477 --> 01:06:28,687

Katie-1: why.

:

01:06:28,717 --> 01:06:29,737

'cause I had just seen Uncle

:

01:06:29,737 --> 01:06:31,147

Buck is probably

:

01:06:31,227 --> 01:06:31,517

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:06:31,747 --> 01:06:33,967

Katie-1: and so I was like, oh, Yeah.

:

01:06:34,247 --> 01:06:34,537

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:06:35,122 --> 01:06:36,622

That's, that's pretty crazy.

:

01:06:36,622 --> 01:06:41,702

And it's all, like I said, sometimes

that's why I interchange characters

:

01:06:41,702 --> 01:06:46,742

and attributes because all these movies

happened within a four year span.

:

01:06:47,462 --> 01:06:47,971

It's like the

:

01:06:48,437 --> 01:06:49,817

Katie-1: I, I, yeah, you're right.

:

01:06:49,817 --> 01:06:51,127

And even it's sort of like the

:

01:06:51,127 --> 01:06:54,517

casting is well, just, they're

kind of interchangeable to

:

01:06:54,827 --> 01:06:55,047

Jared: Yep.

:

01:06:55,087 --> 01:06:55,957

Katie-1: I was reading that

:

01:06:56,037 --> 01:07:00,297

both Chevy Chase and Bill Murray

were considered for the part of Roman

:

01:07:01,687 --> 01:07:03,037

Jared: Yes, yes.

:

01:07:03,087 --> 01:07:05,712

Chevy Chase was shooting

another funny farm,

:

01:07:05,922 --> 01:07:07,992

Katie-1: which are very

similar movies that came

:

01:07:07,992 --> 01:07:10,122

out two weeks apart in June of

:

01:07:10,377 --> 01:07:10,497

Jared: that's,

:

01:07:11,052 --> 01:07:12,042

Katie-1: Funny Farm and The Great

:

01:07:12,042 --> 01:07:12,642

Outdoors.

:

01:07:12,897 --> 01:07:13,407

Jared: that's,

:

01:07:13,407 --> 01:07:14,007

wild.

:

01:07:14,527 --> 01:07:17,587

And all with this pool of

actors who, who all sort of

:

01:07:17,587 --> 01:07:19,567

intermingle in other movies too.

:

01:07:20,122 --> 01:07:24,892

So it's, it's easy to, that's why I

get this era confused a lot because

:

01:07:24,892 --> 01:07:29,872

it's, Chevy Chase, Akroyd, bill

Murray, John Candy, they're, they're

:

01:07:29,872 --> 01:07:34,732

all sort of weaving in and out of

each other's orbits at this time.

:

01:07:34,822 --> 01:07:36,322

Katie-1: They are, they are.

:

01:07:36,372 --> 01:07:40,152

I was also reading that this only,

it was a three week production

:

01:07:40,152 --> 01:07:42,822

shoot, seems very small.

:

01:07:42,822 --> 01:07:42,971

Like

:

01:07:43,032 --> 01:07:44,502

Jared: That's very short.

:

01:07:44,802 --> 01:07:45,762

Goodness gracious.

:

01:07:45,852 --> 01:07:46,872

Katie-1: know a lot about movie making,

:

01:07:46,932 --> 01:07:49,422

movie making, but I was

kind of surprised by that.

:

01:07:49,452 --> 01:07:54,652

Jared: Well, they definitely shot a lot of

it on a lot of it seems well, I mean the

:

01:07:54,682 --> 01:07:58,672

indoor stuff, I guess that could have been

on that was probably on a stage obviously.

:

01:07:58,672 --> 01:08:03,212

But they were out in this place in

California that they were shooting.

:

01:08:03,257 --> 01:08:03,477

Katie-1: Yes.

:

01:08:03,582 --> 01:08:09,912

Jared: And John Hughes, I always

think, john Hughes does confuse

:

01:08:10,692 --> 01:08:15,342

sort of the geography of the

places that he's, he's shooting.

:

01:08:15,452 --> 01:08:21,062

Because I think to me, the place they

are looks very much like a California

:

01:08:21,602 --> 01:08:26,522

wilderness with, with the mountains and

all the, the big trees and everything

:

01:08:26,942 --> 01:08:33,002

now in Wisconsin does have mountains,

but they're not as pronounced as

:

01:08:33,002 --> 01:08:34,862

what you see in the great outdoors.

:

01:08:34,862 --> 01:08:38,862

And it's the same with the beginning

of national Lampoon's vacation.

:

01:08:38,912 --> 01:08:41,072

They're, they're supposed

to be in Illinois somewhere.

:

01:08:41,402 --> 01:08:43,622

Illinois has no mountains whatsoever.

:

01:08:43,622 --> 01:08:45,002

It's like all farmland.

:

01:08:45,362 --> 01:08:48,062

And they're, they're driving around

looking for the Christmas tree.

:

01:08:48,062 --> 01:08:52,862

And these, this, this mountainous

wilderness at which they actually shot.

:

01:08:53,232 --> 01:08:53,471

Up,

:

01:08:53,841 --> 01:08:56,301

Around Winter Park in Colorado.

:

01:08:56,482 --> 01:08:57,051

Yes.

:

01:08:57,787 --> 01:08:58,447

Katie-1: Okay.

:

01:08:58,612 --> 01:09:01,432

Jared: there's, John Hughes likes

to substitute a lot of these,

:

01:09:02,002 --> 01:09:06,442

these very mountainous areas, but

he wants his people in Chicago to

:

01:09:06,442 --> 01:09:08,091

be able to commute to them easily.

:

01:09:08,091 --> 01:09:11,542

So he, he just, he gives the

geography those attributes,

:

01:09:12,756 --> 01:09:12,966

Katie-1: Yeah.

:

01:09:12,966 --> 01:09:13,057

And

:

01:09:13,086 --> 01:09:13,307

Jared: but

:

01:09:13,926 --> 01:09:14,947

Katie-1: I love one of the

:

01:09:14,947 --> 01:09:17,346

parts, think my love for Chicago.

:

01:09:18,067 --> 01:09:21,937

Is rooted in John Hughes from my

childhood, because I, I absolutely

:

01:09:21,937 --> 01:09:23,997

love the city of Chicago, which is

:

01:09:23,997 --> 01:09:27,207

why I think partially, I thought it

was funny that the raccoons were like,

:

01:09:27,207 --> 01:09:28,827

oh, we're gonna be eating good tonight.

:

01:09:28,827 --> 01:09:30,596

The license plate says Illinois, if

:

01:09:30,716 --> 01:09:31,006

Jared: Yeah,

:

01:09:32,051 --> 01:09:32,562

yeah, yeah.

:

01:09:32,562 --> 01:09:35,591

We got Illinois plates and I, I, me too.

:

01:09:35,682 --> 01:09:40,721

When I was I 20, when I was

20 in 95, me and my buddy,

:

01:09:40,721 --> 01:09:44,742

alan, the, the guys I've, I've talked

about before, and another buddy of mine,

:

01:09:44,742 --> 01:09:50,711

Josh, we we, we went to Chicago and we're

gonna do the the Ferris Bueller tour.

:

01:09:50,742 --> 01:09:54,912

We just went up there for four days

and we, and we were also big fans of

:

01:09:54,912 --> 01:09:57,312

the Fugitive movie with Harrison Ford.

:

01:09:57,442 --> 01:09:59,422

And, and a lot of that's in Chicago.

:

01:09:59,542 --> 01:10:00,532

Katie-1: I haven't seen it in a long

:

01:10:00,922 --> 01:10:05,842

Jared: So we picked these locations

from The Fugitive and Ferris Bueller,

:

01:10:06,322 --> 01:10:09,292

and we walked around, we went to

Wrigley Field and watched some

:

01:10:09,382 --> 01:10:12,192

Cubs games and just had a blast.

:

01:10:12,282 --> 01:10:16,482

And, that's mostly because

of Ferris Bueller's Day off.

:

01:10:16,632 --> 01:10:22,142

And, and it's funny that John

Hughes, his movies, and it's funny

:

01:10:22,142 --> 01:10:27,422

that these characters in the great

outdoors, they, you never see them

:

01:10:27,422 --> 01:10:30,392

in Chicago, but they're from Chicago,

:

01:10:30,942 --> 01:10:31,452

And it's.

:

01:10:31,632 --> 01:10:33,822

Katie-1: purposefully show

us the license plates.

:

01:10:33,872 --> 01:10:34,472

Jared: Yes.

:

01:10:34,682 --> 01:10:37,982

So I think he, he has

a great affection for,

:

01:10:38,492 --> 01:10:42,362

for the, the city of Chicago that

even if his characters aren't

:

01:10:42,362 --> 01:10:46,472

going to be there, they're gonna

be some connection back to Chicago.

:

01:10:46,757 --> 01:10:48,137

Katie-1: It's, it's his trademark.

:

01:10:48,452 --> 01:10:48,812

Jared: Yeah,

:

01:10:49,007 --> 01:10:49,247

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

01:10:50,537 --> 01:10:50,837

you

:

01:10:50,837 --> 01:10:54,137

you pointed out that they

actually shot in California.

:

01:10:54,137 --> 01:10:55,967

The movie setting is

:

01:10:56,072 --> 01:10:56,402

Jared: Mm-hmm.

:

01:10:56,567 --> 01:10:57,107

Katie-1: place

:

01:10:57,482 --> 01:10:57,842

Jared: Yes,

:

01:11:00,587 --> 01:11:00,677

Katie-1: Awa.

:

01:11:00,707 --> 01:11:02,057

It's like really long.

:

01:11:02,087 --> 01:11:02,507

It's,

:

01:11:02,672 --> 01:11:04,652

Jared: it's, strictly for laughs.

:

01:11:04,742 --> 01:11:05,132

I think

:

01:11:05,897 --> 01:11:10,817

Katie-1: But it's shot in bass Lake

was where they were in California.

:

01:11:11,477 --> 01:11:15,757

And according to the locals, some said

that Annette Benning was kind of demanding

:

01:11:16,072 --> 01:11:17,632

Jared: I read that as well.

:

01:11:17,632 --> 01:11:17,692

I.

:

01:11:18,127 --> 01:11:22,337

Katie-1: that Dan Aykroyd was mostly

polite but very aloof and kind of

:

01:11:22,337 --> 01:11:24,887

difficult to the actual townspeople.

:

01:11:25,042 --> 01:11:25,392

Jared: Uhhuh.

:

01:11:25,697 --> 01:11:27,047

Katie-1: But big shocker.

:

01:11:27,047 --> 01:11:30,947

John Candy has a reputation for

being very approachable, friendly

:

01:11:31,002 --> 01:11:31,422

Jared: Mm-hmm.

:

01:11:31,907 --> 01:11:32,837

Katie-1: and gotten along

:

01:11:32,837 --> 01:11:34,067

very well with everyone.

:

01:11:34,127 --> 01:11:36,287

And the townspeople said

he was a joy to work with.

:

01:11:36,287 --> 01:11:36,827

So that was

:

01:11:36,827 --> 01:11:37,427

good to hear.

:

01:11:37,577 --> 01:11:37,817

Jared: Yeah.

:

01:11:37,817 --> 01:11:40,637

He, he seems like a, a teddy bear,

:

01:11:40,727 --> 01:11:41,327

Katie-1: Mm-hmm.

:

01:11:41,327 --> 01:11:44,862

Jared: And, and it's good to hear

that people would that people

:

01:11:44,862 --> 01:11:46,452

had that experience with him.

:

01:11:46,482 --> 01:11:49,152

'cause that's sort of how

you picture him in your head.

:

01:11:49,152 --> 01:11:53,082

If I ever met John Candy, I would

hope he would be nice to me.

:

01:11:53,622 --> 01:11:55,872

And it sounds like that's the way he was.

:

01:11:55,947 --> 01:11:56,487

Katie-1: Yeah, I'm

:

01:11:56,532 --> 01:11:58,002

Jared: So that's, that's cool.

:

01:11:58,722 --> 01:11:59,232

Yeah.

:

01:11:59,547 --> 01:12:00,567

Katie-1: title, I guess was

:

01:12:00,567 --> 01:12:01,827

Big Country.

:

01:12:02,922 --> 01:12:03,762

Jared: Big country.

:

01:12:04,047 --> 01:12:04,317

Katie-1: What do you

:

01:12:04,482 --> 01:12:04,512

Jared: I.

:

01:12:04,527 --> 01:12:04,887

Katie-1: about that?

:

01:12:07,707 --> 01:12:10,452

Jared: NI think the Great

Outdoors is a much better title.

:

01:12:10,482 --> 01:12:10,872

Of course.

:

01:12:10,902 --> 01:12:13,692

That's what I've lived

with for 30 plus years, so

:

01:12:14,467 --> 01:12:14,587

I

:

01:12:14,592 --> 01:12:16,212

I, like the, the Great Outdoors.

:

01:12:16,317 --> 01:12:17,637

Katie-1: I think I agree with you.

:

01:12:17,637 --> 01:12:19,557

Mm-hmm.

:

01:12:19,992 --> 01:12:22,362

Jared: could, sounds like it

could be a Western or something.

:

01:12:22,677 --> 01:12:22,947

Katie-1: Yeah.

:

01:12:22,947 --> 01:12:24,147

or like a, something.

:

01:12:24,147 --> 01:12:26,427

about like Music Star or

:

01:12:26,772 --> 01:12:27,792

Jared: Yeah, exactly.

:

01:12:27,942 --> 01:12:28,212

Yeah.

:

01:12:28,527 --> 01:12:29,517

Katie-1: you're right, you're right.

:

01:12:31,482 --> 01:12:34,902

Jared: I think The Great Outdoors

is, is a perfect name for this film.

:

01:12:35,452 --> 01:12:36,502

Katie-1: Thanks to Jared for

:

01:12:36,502 --> 01:12:40,852

joining me to reminisce about

:

:

01:12:40,852 --> 01:12:46,642

Do you have any closing thoughts

for us about this movie and then

:

01:12:46,642 --> 01:12:47,722

tell us where we can find you.

:

01:12:48,142 --> 01:12:51,772

Jared: Well, thank you

Katie for having me today.

:

01:12:51,882 --> 01:12:52,962

It is a pleasure.

:

01:12:53,682 --> 01:12:59,832

I'm on the cusp of my 50th birthday

looking back on a seminal film for

:

01:12:59,832 --> 01:13:05,622

me thinking back how I was ha very

happy I get to share these stories of

:

01:13:05,622 --> 01:13:12,252

me and my friend just still quoting

this movie to each other, to this day.

:

01:13:12,672 --> 01:13:18,847

And it, it's, it is funny that this,

this particular movie and, and not

:

01:13:18,847 --> 01:13:24,967

really any of the others, but this is one

that that has just kind of followed me

:

01:13:24,967 --> 01:13:27,277

around and lived in my head for so long.

:

01:13:27,427 --> 01:13:30,967

And it was, it was a lot

of fun to to talk about it.

:

01:13:31,927 --> 01:13:32,347

Loved it.

:

01:13:32,947 --> 01:13:33,787

Katie-1: It was fun for

:

01:13:33,787 --> 01:13:34,147

me too.

:

01:13:34,147 --> 01:13:35,137

I can't believe I hadn't seen it.

:

01:13:35,137 --> 01:13:39,907

And my God, the next time we podcast

together, Jared, I swear to God so

:

01:13:39,907 --> 01:13:42,217

listeners, every time Jared and I do a

:

01:13:42,457 --> 01:13:42,667

Jared: Yes.

:

01:13:43,507 --> 01:13:44,407

Katie-1: I have some

:

01:13:44,407 --> 01:13:46,357

sort of technical issue.

:

01:13:46,357 --> 01:13:49,237

My power went out for backdraft.

:

01:13:49,267 --> 01:13:51,157

My internet went out for this.

:

01:13:51,517 --> 01:13:51,997

Jared: Yes,

:

01:13:52,177 --> 01:13:52,747

Katie-1: There's the

:

01:13:52,982 --> 01:13:54,007

Jared: And so,

01:13:54,547 --> 01:13:54,757

Katie-1: we

01:13:54,757 --> 01:13:55,657

:

01:13:55,657 --> 01:13:58,057

struggle Get even getting

here today, like it was,

:

01:13:58,537 --> 01:13:58,987

Jared: yes

:

01:13:59,107 --> 01:13:59,887

Katie-1: against us.

:

01:13:59,887 --> 01:14:06,667

Jared: let, me say that I also completely

forgot that we're doing this a week late

:

01:14:06,997 --> 01:14:12,797

because it popped up on my phone last

week and I was nowhere near my house.

:

01:14:13,337 --> 01:14:15,357

And I was like Katie.

:

01:14:15,417 --> 01:14:18,747

But I'm so happy that we

finally got it together.

:

01:14:18,747 --> 01:14:23,397

We conquered the gremlins that

we're giving you technical issues,

:

01:14:23,757 --> 01:14:25,487

and we got this sucker down.

:

01:14:25,977 --> 01:14:26,197

Katie-1: We

:

01:14:26,207 --> 01:14:28,577

Jared: So who knows what

will happen next time.

:

01:14:28,577 --> 01:14:30,257

I mean, good grief,

:

01:14:31,127 --> 01:14:32,897

maybe an earthquake or something.

:

01:14:32,897 --> 01:14:34,097

I couldn't even imagine.

:

01:14:34,262 --> 01:14:34,952

Katie-1: there man.

:

01:14:34,952 --> 01:14:35,522
