Ever reminisce about the hilarity of John Ritter's 'Skin Deep' or the strangely satisfying combo of peanut butter and Oreos? Well, buckle up as we weave through a tapestry of nostalgic tidbits and fresh takes on fashion faux pas. From Zendaya's statement-making robot suit at the "Dune 2" premiere to Dennis Quaid's eerie dive into the psyche of a serial killer, we're serving up a smorgasbord of entertainment insight mixed with hearty laughs.

Dudley Moore's antics may harken back to a different era, but the laughs are timeless for John Ritter, and we're here to relive them while also pondering the peculiarities of peanut butter as a culinary wildcard. Our resident movie buffs can't help but share their infectious enthusiasm for the physical comedy gold and narrative quirks that "Skin Deep" delivers, while our discussion meanders to the realm of true crime and the emotional rollercoaster of unresolved endings à la "Seinfeld." We also can't resist tipping our hats to the comedic chops on display in Hulu's "This Fool."

As we wrap up, we not only rate our featured flick with our unique system but also let our hair down to chat about those quirky eating habits that somehow become a slice of our identity. Are Oreos with peanut butter a snack sensation or a quirky pastime? We're sharing laughs and personal anecdotes, inviting you into the conversation like an old friend joining us on the couch for a movie night. So, grab your favorite snack, get comfy, and let us keep you company with stories that resonate with the humor in all of us.

Speaker 1:

We're about to go so deep on this movie that has an auspicious title that if you go with it the wrong way, I'm sure you can go down a really funny rabbit hole and end up with a completely different movie, Although I did find out there's like 10 movies with this title but, I also think you might find an X-rated movie with this title, because it would just be too easy.

Speaker 1:

We're going to go skin deep on a movie called Skin Deep, which comes out in 1989 with John Ritter. However, right before I clicked record, jordan asked me an insane question that shattered dimensions and no, I've never stuck peanut butter on an Oreo. When I asked her, what was the mechanism? Do you open the Oreos and add the peanut butter to the cream? And I guess not. What's the deal? What's the deal with your snacky?

Speaker 2:

snack. I just put it on peanut butter. I mean peanut butter on the Oreo. You could take the cookie and dip it in the peanut butter.

Speaker 1:

This is like a regional Colorado thing, because Jordan spent some time in Colorado, so maybe the people out there in the Denver side are eating. Oreo peanut butter on top.

Speaker 2:

I think it's a girls from the 90s thing because of the movie the Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan. That's like one of the snacks.

Speaker 1:

Which is not the original parent trap.

Speaker 2:

I know I would have been to my 90s girls. There's a point in the movie where they finally get stuck in the, you know, in the cabin together and that's like what they kind of bond over is peanut butter with Oreos and it's so good.

Speaker 3:

So crack open a cold box of wine or pour something cold on ice, because it's the binge watchers podcast.

Speaker 1:

Freakin peanut butter on Oreos. Welcome back to the Oreo Cookie Podcast Hour with your host, john and Cookie, and his co-host, jordan Snickerdoodle.

Speaker 2:

I'll take it. I like Snickerdoodle.

Speaker 1:

Way to get distracted. In the first three minutes, jordan Home video headlines. Did you see the Zendaya robot? She went to the premiere of Dune 2. That's hard to say, the Dune 2 premiere. It looked like a very uncomfortable robot suit, which I guess is based on a robot suit that was like on Fashion Week from the 90s or something I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I think it was Mugler. Yeah, and did I watch it? Of course I watched it. She is an icon.

Speaker 1:

She has to sit down and watch a movie, right? So do you think the materials actually bend, even though they look like uncomfortable steel plates, like nothing maneuvers in a robot suit, because, hey, guess what? Robot suits were designed for robot skins. Robot skins were designed for robots to wear.

Speaker 2:

It's true.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I don't know how that works. Do you want to have a?

Speaker 1:

bias against machines, maybe Maybe she stands.

Speaker 2:

Would you ever go to a? Movie I don't know but have you gone to a whole movie? What is it? I said, maybe she stands the whole movie instead of sitting down, she just stands in the aisle. She just ushers people with their popcorn and soda as the whole movie.

Speaker 1:

I mean she looked uncomfortable. Yes, like three hours after getting into the costume she had the look on her face. She had like, well, she had like what is known in the industry is resting bitch face and I don't know if it's a natural thing for her or not. I mean, I've always been entertained by her. She was good in the Spider-Man movies, you know, as one of Spider-Man's sidekicks. You know she played Mary Jane and romantic interest whatever. But I kind of like, and you like her in that. What is that, victoria? I almost said Eureka show, and there actually is a show called Eureka. It's a completely different type of show.

Speaker 2:

I am a Zendaya, a one day one. She cannot do anything wrong in my opinion. She's a fashion icon. It makes sense that she's in a robot suit for me, so I've been snatching up all of the dude to content I possibly can. I'm so ready for the movie, so I was stoked to see the robot costume.

Speaker 1:

It's so cool and for all them perverts out there it's perfect for them to. It's a very titillating robot suit. We'll just say that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's got clear panels and metallic panels as well. Yeah, clear.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Kind of like suggestive plastic in all the right places. Yes, that's the thing. It may not bend or be flexible. I'm sure it's not good in like you know, tropical weather like in Arizona, Florida, California, oh no. All right. Or even Boston, because it gets freaking humid out here. It's probably not good for any human tropical zone out there, but it's something to look at, folks.

Speaker 2:

You don't do it for the comfort, that's for sure.

Speaker 1:

Everybody's clicking. Right now there's at least 50 of our listeners. They're just like. I mean, they heard the title of the movie number one. They're going to go look to see what movie we're actually talking about. Now they want to see Zendaya's robot thing. To change the mood. Here we go.

Speaker 1:

Dennis Quaid is going to play a serial killer called Happy Face. I didn't even know that. First of all, that they even nicknamed a serial killer Happy Face, or that there was a serial killer out there calling himself Happy Face. Apparently, the show he's going to be in about Happy Face is based on a podcast about the Happy Face murders written or produced, or I don't know who does the podcast, maybe the killer's own daughter? I don't know, because there's like a book that is the killer's family wrote, or something. I don't know. I guess I should have done more research instead of saying I don't know twice. Basically, the point I'm saying is I should have done more research about the Happy Face murderer show. I don't know anything. I didn't even know there was a serial killer named Happy Face.

Speaker 2:

I read a brief article about it, and it's based off of the book called Shattered Silence by Melissa Moore, which is the daughter of the serial killer. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you saw the show. The way they described it in the articles was funny, because it's like, oh, dennis Coyd is playing a serial killer in a show based on a podcast about the serial killer, based on a book by the serial killer daughter or whatever. Wow, this is like a lot of jumping through like, oh, it's the roommates, friends, boyfriends, uncles, cousins, like content inception, yeah, yeah. But yeah, I don't know if you saw this show. It's called this Fool. It's like one of the funniest things that they've ever put on Hulu. It only got two seasons and it ended on the cliffhanger. No.

Speaker 1:

The character Louise, who's like one of my favorite characters. He's on a plane to Cambodia I forget it in the second season. You know what I mean. I think it's Cambodia. He's like goes to some random Asian country because he's never been anywhere and it just hadn't there. That country came out of like a joke within the show or something. So like he just picks it to be like tough about it or whatever. So he's like on his way there. Yeah, and that's it. Dude, I'm like it's about him and his cousin. So he's actually like a reformed, because they go like what do they say? Like hugs, not thugs.

Speaker 1:

It's like a gangster reform program in Latino neighborhood in LA and like they make cupcakes and sell them to keep their like you know services open or whatever, but then it gets defunded. So then they open a coffee shop. It's pretty good. It's like again like probably the funniest thing I've seen. That like on Hulu, for like Hulu original comedy, but anyway it's going to go down as like one of these legendary shows, like I'm trying to think of another example but like some sitcoms or some shows, like they just end on cliffhangers and you're like, dude, what the heck? You know what I mean. There's no resolution, you know, yeah, oh, actually another famous Jerry Seinfeld show, the Seinfeld comedy, like the characters go to jail in the last season and you don't know if they stay there or get out or what you know.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, that's a bummer. I like a lot of the Hulu originals too, so I'm sure it was excellent. I'll have to check it out, but bummer that it ends up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's a good binge, like if you're just like, oh, you know, I need something like one baking, or like you know, I just got like a weekend, I'm just like got some time doing laundry. Or like let's, yeah, throw it on. It's pretty funny we often make, oh, never mind, I was going to keep talking about it but I was like, oh, I'll just move on. Yeah, I've said before on the show, we actually watched Nikita a little while back and we talked about the professional. But Luke Bassan is one of my favorite filmmakers. He's from France. He made this movie called subway with Christopher Lambert and Well, fifth element, probably his biggest movie, at least over here, was the Mia Jovovich and Bruce Willis like sci-fi Adventure movie.

Speaker 1:

Fifth element that came out that was his. But he's gonna make a, a Dracula movie. But the catch is it's like when he wouldn't. When Dracula it's like early days and supposedly has a marriage. I don't know. They've done Dracula's bride movies a couple times and we know when Bram Stoker's Dracula he had a couple wives According to the legend, you know, and in that book or whatever, I just I don't know. I'm jazzed. I'd like to see a Luke, luke Bassan, take on Dracula. So so I was happy, happy about that. I'm looking forward to it. Listen, folks, I don't know if this is easy. Like we could literally Program the entire show about where with movies, or the entire show about vampire movies. Like literally.

Speaker 1:

It'd have easily just done like a genre show. You know so and I have and we know it's funny the movies that I give the most leniency for being critical about our, in fact, monster movies. You know, I mean like I'm so so accepting of certain monster movies over like.

Speaker 2:

They didn't stick to any of the tropes, but I loved it anyway.

Speaker 1:

Actually, chris Nolan said he'd be interested in making a horror movie too, if, if he could come up with the right story, or if the right right story, you know, found him, or whatever. I thought that was pretty interesting. Yeah, so I can appreciate his inclination to do horror movies. I mean, he's probably one of the greatest living directors right now Everybody's talking about I'm open-heimer Just won a bunch of British Academy Awards the BAFTA, you know Like best director, best film, best editing, best supporting actor, like, like what do they call it? Like a sweep almost at their version of the Academy Awards. However, the only it's like. The only thing I disagree with Chris Nolan is apparently like. Also, he said in an interview that he's like a huge fan of the Fast and the Furious franchise so then I like Like just kind of like I started to to it out after that.

Speaker 1:

Like those movies I guess I guess they're guilty pleasure movies or they're just really fun movies that people I mean it obviously has a giant fan base, like I'm not gonna say anything. I mean it has millions of fans, what do I know? They're just not really my cup of tea, except like number three, which I guess they're saying is now a prequel. That it doesn't. It happens outside of the regular continuity. That's actually like a really great movie. Tokyo drip.

Speaker 2:

It's the only one I've ever watched and remember so the one where the kid goes to Japan and is Tokyo.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the drifting races. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's a good movie and I think that's Justin Lin who does, who did, like my one of my favorite Star Trek's, star Trek Beyond. And what else did you do? Oh, what is that movie? What is that movie called Dang? He did a movie about like the Asian gangs in LA County, oh man. And what is that movie called? Oh, better luck tomorrow. That's a great movie anybody wants to watch like a indie drama about like inner-city Asian teenage games. Yeah, that's funny when I'm like trying to think it like it's a good movie but the promoting like negative subject matter, you're just like come on.

Speaker 2:

Story of my life, talking about every true crime series I've ever seen in my entire life.

Speaker 1:

Well, I played back a clip from our show we, you know, a few episodes ago. Folks I don't know if you or if you're listening out there watching this maybe you'd seen our episode about Street smart and and we were so jazzed up talking about the movie and it's about such bad behavior.

Speaker 1:

Prostitution and pimping and just being and hooking and everything in between. Oh and and and, like libel, or is it libel when you tell lies written? There's one's libel and one slander. Right, I think slander spoken and libel's written, because the journalist makes up the news, which is also a crime. Anyway, that's anyway. Yeah, that's it. That's the roundup for home video headlines, and then Gotta kick it over to Jordan so she can have her moment with this. Savage stats. Let's see if they're gonna be savage or playful or what, but this is like what we like to call it savage stats. I can start off, yeah, but wait, did I even introduce you.

Speaker 2:

I'll do it Tonight. We are talking about skin deep and, like John mentioned, make sure it's the right one. So 1989, and that is with John Ritter, and the movie is about Zacklin. He's a womanizing, drunk in writer whose life seems to be falling apart at the seams. He's still in love with his ex-wife, whose family can't stand him, and he's got writer's block keeping him from completing his last novel. He repeatedly finds himself in trouble one way or another With the law ex-girlfriends Quite a lot going on in his life with that because he's always chasing some tale and also including jealous ex-boyfriends or boyfriends. But that's tonight's movie. I'm glad I got to do the synopsis because there wasn't too too much about tonight's movie for savage stats. Of course it is directed by Blake Edwards, whose notorious For the big pink panther series. He also worked on breakfast at Tiffany's, which is one of my personal favorites. Who doesn't love that? But a lot Surrounding the movie and how it was written. It was originally supposed to be titled 11, which was a sequel to his hit film 10?.

Speaker 1:

This is like a mind-blowing fact. We have to just take a moment to like acknowledge that, like I had no idea that they were trying to gonna make a sequel to 10, which is a Kind of like a pretty iconic movie to because that's the bow, derek, lovely, more comedy, right? So I didn't know that they were gonna do 11.

Speaker 2:

And I tried to look up the synopsis for 10 and it's kind of something similar.

Speaker 1:

It's a playboy who's having a nervous breakdown and he Falls in love with a married woman or whatever. Who's bow? Derek? Right Exactly at a beach and this movie has beaches. You know beach cottage. So you know, yeah, you drop one character in for another. Right the same movie.

Speaker 2:

Well, it was originally written for that actor and when they realized that Dudley Moore Wasn't coming back, that's when they put in John Ritter. So originally the script was supposed to be a sequel. He got halfway through writing it when he found out that more wasn't gonna be returning to the movie. So he had to take what he had and change the names and just continue to write the movie skin deep as if it was an original script and not a sequel. So it also like with Dudley Moore Deciding to not come back, like we're talking about all everybody we're talking about tonight.

Speaker 1:

Folks are our iconic filmmakers and iconic actors and comedians in in the Hollywood, you know, from like the 70s to the 90s and well, john was working up into the 2000s and then unfortunately dead of a heart attack.

Speaker 2:

But in like what 2000? Was it 2010 or something?

Speaker 1:

there's probably no. They probably know John Ritter from problem child, or I mean three company.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then Dudley Moore. You said in number, in number 10, but he's also like in the British comedy world the 70s, he's a big deal. He's in this movie called Arthur, which has almost the same, the same story. It's like he's made the same movie, maybe, for maybe, like you know, they say like typecasting, like, right, me entered through these movies about these Drunken playboys and there's like three or four of them that he's done. The Dudley Pink Panther movies.

Speaker 1:

We have to slow up a bit because I have to talk about them like, say it so, what a fly. I think panther movies always open with animation of the actual pink panther, but he's not a character in the movie because the pink panther just refers to a world-class thief, right, and it's really about the detective that an inspector Clouseau, who's always chasing him, played by Peter Sellars, who's another iconic comedic actor, and I so. But I remember, like how you get brought into those movies if you watch them on TV. You think it's gonna be about the animated pink panther, if you're, if you're little yeah, that's what I thought, that's how, yeah, I'm like five and I'm like, oh, cool, pink cat, it looks like looney tunes, but then the movie starts and it's about. You know it's like a slapstick comedy, you know about the guy trying to catch this world famous thief. But also, what a good introduction if you're like little and you see you go about to watch the cartoon and you're watching the pink panther movies.

Speaker 2:

You're like this is not what I thought it was gonna be.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if I can really respect the remakes though. I mean Steve Martin, I think, is in two like pink panther remakes with, and Kevin Klein. Is Kevin Klein the detective or is it reversed? Is he in one of them is the bad guy? I can't remember. Anyway, I mean Steve Martin is a comic icon too, but the remaking the pink panther just seems unnecessary. Okay, sorry to interrupt you no, that was perfect.

Speaker 2:

I think just to add to that, because you mentioned like Arthur to on the rocks or whatever like Arthur and Arthur to Dudley Moore had like essentially recent like, had just completed that movie and I think that led into him not wanting to do 11, right. So that's how skin deep became skin deep and the final fact would be Nina thought, who played John Ritter's mother-in-law in the film. She's a super funny role. She obviously hates his guts things that he's like the worst thing that ever happened to her daughter, but she was originally Ritter's acting coach when he was a student at Hollywood High School and apparently he was super nervous to meet her again on the set of the movie.

Speaker 1:

So I like that chemistry that they have in the film so, because of Cal, southern California is like relationship with, like the TV and film industry. Like Just going to a high school in Hollywood and taking a drama class, you could get cast in a TV show.

Speaker 2:

You know, that's where my mom went to high school, so you went to. She went to which one? Hollywood High School, yeah, so like we'll be watching movies and she'd be like, oh yeah, I went to high school with them. I'm like, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Six degrees with Miss Savage.

Speaker 2:

That's it, savage stats for you today about skin deep.

Speaker 1:

Wait, how did you not mention the muscle girl Zapp from American gladiator?

Speaker 2:

Well, I did see that right as that. See, I never watched American gladiator, but of course I loved, you know okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, let's set this, let's set the picture for everybody. So American gladiator Average out of shape nine to fivers, would go up against ripped bodybuilding, steroid crushing gladiators, I mean like warriors, you know, and during like the heyday of bodybuilding and excitement in the country, and like you would compete basically in these aerobic activities and then also they shot you with like Nerf guns, something like that you know. Oh.

Speaker 1:

They briefly re-brought back. They briefly brought back American gladiator with some of the old stunt performers, with Hock Hogan hosting, like three or four years ago, but the originals the best. I mean, god, you remember when he had time to just like do nothing and watch things, cuz I mean how would it be to just like go home and turn on old episodes of 1989 American gladiator and just sit there, you know, I mean watch all this stuff, cuz it sounds great, average out of shape office workers stuck behind a computer. Suddenly you got to compete with gladiators, you know, and win these games Then. But bringing her up too early, cuz I'm gonna bleed into one of my favorite bits.

Speaker 2:

I was gonna say I was like she. She probably would fit really good in in favorite bits section of the pod.

Speaker 1:

Hold on. Yeah, I don't want to get too excited and jump too far ahead in the favorite bits, but if you're excited for movies, you're a movie lover and you want to get a box of movies, we have an affiliate code for this thing called love the gun media comm. You actually have a. We have a dedicated link actually love to get media comm For slash binge, which is part of the name of our show. If you go there you can order up movie boxes that will show up, then mel it to you.

Speaker 1:

Genre boxes comedy, horror, drama, sci-fi. It's a box of movies. You can randomize it or you can go through their categories and try to make it more selective. Anyway, check it out if you really like movies. Otherwise you're just gonna be watching hours and hours of American gladiator and I got really excited and was gonna get ahead of myself by talking about zap from American gladiator being in the movie. But we've arrived at favorite bits, favorite bits from skin deep 1989, john Ritter, jordan, kicking it back up to you. Actually, my tangents have been pretty, like almost non-tangical, like my tangents have not been that wild tonight. I've been staying on track.

Speaker 2:

It's about time for me to be in the driver's seat. You know, Just kidding. I just was laughing like every five minutes of this movie. I thought the pacing was incredible.

Speaker 1:

Extremely funny movie, as it turns out, ridiculous funny movie Absolutely.

Speaker 2:

So funny. I was like literally laughing out loud at the TV and I never do that Like I really like.

Speaker 1:

I'll laugh. It sneaks up on you, right. There's a couple of times it just it comes out of nowhere and you're like damn, that was really funny.

Speaker 2:

I'll leave the bodybuilder moment to you, but I would say the next one that just like made me like I'm pretty sure Pat had to like run in to make sure I was okay while I was watching this movie, because I was like screaming at the TV, but it was like because of laughter.

Speaker 2:

I thought that the hotel scene, so essentially the Zach has been like banished right from his house. His girlfriend had burned down the second house that he built and he's staying in this hotel and he comes across this beautiful woman and he tries to buy her a drink and, as they're going to deliver the drink, obviously her boyfriend at the time sits down and he's supposed to be this like you know, british rocker or Australian rocker, whatever you know kind of fast forward a couple of minutes and it all kind of comes into play of where he's gonna hook up with her because the boyfriend has now left and so she wants to use some protection, and then it is literally I just was laughing so hard. So essentially he has glowed the dark condiments I know that it wasn't really glowed in the dark, it's supposed to be like these Chinese herbs that are like supposed to be, you know, making him. They'll feel a certain way.

Speaker 1:

The zany, crazy rock star boyfriend has glow in the dark condoms and also, you know, chinese sexual herbs. So he takes the herbs, pops on the condom but they're super. They're like not just glow in the dark but super aridescent or whatever. Like they're definitely making sure you can light it because of the contrast. So they go into the dark and it's just like I kind of feel like they're making a lightsaber joke like a Star Wars lightsaber joke right.

Speaker 2:

Are we about to have a lightsaber fight Like?

Speaker 1:

in Crossing the swords. Does it Because?

Speaker 2:

you know, the funny part is is that the boyfriend storms in. He hides in the closet. The boyfriend doesn't know he's actually there. The girl shoots the boyfriend away. He comes back, right, zach comes back and they're trying to get busy and the boyfriend takes it as that. She was like trying to like play hard to get. So the boyfriend comes back in and you've got like a red. The red glow in the dark, evil red condom light, yeah, with like a blue and it just like. I just thought it was so well played and I love that they like loop it back at the very end where there's like a red, white and blue one and he's spoiled, or finally back with his ex-wife. I just thought that whole bit like it made me laugh.

Speaker 1:

I was like jumping, he has a pension or he likes the-.

Speaker 2:

He likes it yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's kind of funny. You do a recall joke like that.

Speaker 2:

It was good. I thought that, like physical comedy was honestly hilarious. Like you know, there are even him and his buddy and his buddy's wife are like in the vacation rental and the wife like just falls right off of the chair. I just saw people did so good like with the physical comedy it like actually sold that this was going down. I thought the fact that they had mixed up the parties he thought it was a costume party and it really was supposed to be like a gala and so he shows up to the gala, you know, dressed up as Aladdin.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what's funny is like he gets into so much trouble that his best friend is his lawyer. So his lawyer tells him oh hey, hey, it's costume party. But then got the date wrong and his wife corrected the lawyer at the last minute while getting ready. So the lawyer's in a tux or whatever. But then, yeah, dude shows up, you know dresses Aladdin, you know from Arabian nights or whatever, and gets laughed out of the party. And I guess they're hob knobs, they're like snobby aristocrats. So to them it's really like funny and makes them look bad, because he's trying to establish himself as a popular writer or whatever on the up and comers or whatever. What about the opening? Did you like the opening? Because basically he's like he's in bed with the girlfriend. Then you find out, like you think the lady with the gun is the wife who just caught him and that's why the gun is out. No, you find out, the one with the gun is actually the regularly scheduled mistress and she didn't know about the girlfriend. And then the wife comes home.

Speaker 2:

Right, you know what I mean the girlfriends with the gun. She catches him with his mistress. Her hairdresser and which is the hairdresser, but then the wife comes home to catch all three situations going on. Yeah, no, it was funny. It was a perfect way to kind of like lay you know, lay this, lay it out, but it was so good, there was so many moments. I laughed the whole time.

Speaker 1:

So and obviously you know I mentioned it has the muscle girl of my dreams in it, zapped from American Gladiator and kind of a funny scene. So they're going to hook up and then he wakes up late because the alarm clock doesn't go off or something correctly. But then he wakes up in the middle of her, like yoga class or no, aerobics, aerobics, not yoga. So he's like you know, but it is briefs, whatever his little tidy whities and has to. He plays it off, though I mean he, you know he improvises and plays it cool by joining the class, cause he gets locked out of, like I guess. Like I mean, yeah, I guess you can put it together, the muscle girl must be a aerobics instructor or teacher. She like her apartments behind the studio or something, cause he goes through a door and he's locked out, yeah, and he's stuck in class. Pretty funny moment. That's also in the in the trailer.

Speaker 1:

So if you're watching the previous and you're like, oh, what is this movie? It'll bring you in. But he's sitting on the beach and he's asking God for a sign or whatever, and then he gets knocked over by a big wave and then he tells the layer oh, god must be a gag writer. I figured it out. And then he gets knocked over by a ginormous wave and it looks like it looks like it was John Ritter who gets like sent sliding across the floor of the beach condo or whatever. Right, yeah, that was a laugh out loud moment for me, like cause it's just so well timed and it comes out of nowhere. And it might be a little over the top, but the way this movie does it, you accept it or whatever. So we have a writing system on the show.

Speaker 1:

It's pretty unique to us, but people also like it. They're starting to like it online. It's binge now, which means you gotta watch it before you get to anything else. Binge later, put it on the list, but you know, get around to it, binge never, which if you're having an existential crisis. According to Jordan, it doesn't actually exist, but theoretically it means don't watch it, don't get to it, don't waste your time, you can't get the two hours of your life back. Anyway, regardless of the politics and whether or not Openheimer's a good movie, it's pretty damn long and it would auto. I mean so like too long, like three hours it's a long movie.

Speaker 1:

It was still really good. So I would say if movies waste your time, then they have a problem. Wow, I mean, I'm fine, I'm ready to go. I don't know where you are, where you are and with this movie.

Speaker 2:

Binge? Now for sure. I love it when we watch a movie and the first thing I do the next day is go and tell all my coworkers you have to watch this movie. It was so fun, can't wait to talk about it on the pod. And that was like this movie. I just laughed the whole time. I thought it was so good. It's cheeky.

Speaker 1:

He does great comedy. You like it more than just doing your homework for the show. She's like I told people in real life about it.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, that's a lot, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sure Dang, I like the entire movie, except for it gets to a Christmas party. He finally finished his book. He's kind of teasing his old girlfriends but they're all in kind of like speaking terms. So he's sober, seems to be. Things seem to be going okay. I will acknowledge that. It's like you know. They accurately show you what does a writer do when they're not writing. They're drinking and fornicating. It seems pretty accurate. They're doing everything but writing and then they finally write. It's nice that his book is popular. It might end up just on Amazoncom if he had been writing in modern day. But they like his little novel. I assume it's about his. I mean, I assume his books are like about relationships, right, right, or like some fictionalized novel version of like his adventures or something.

Speaker 2:

Well, they insinuate it at that party too, because one of the characters I forget not Rebecca, because that's the girl girlfriend to his son, but one of the girlfriends insinuates was I just research or like you know?

Speaker 1:

Oh dang yeah. Just a chapter in a book.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of funny, so it's fine. Whatever, it's kind of like they're wrapping it up kind of like a book in style you know everybody's in a good mood. He's fixed his relationships with most of the characters Well, they won't they with the wife, but we're going to find out in the next scene what happens. But it ends up being a binge later for me, because I think it starts to fall apart towards the end. Right, Like it's not, as I mean. I mean, are we splitting hairs? I don't know. Like I would like people to get to it. I like John Ritter. You're looking for one more thing and you've already seen him in three's company and you've seen the problem trial movies and maybe you saw what is it like? Eight simple rules for dating my teenage daughter. Like the big show he was on before he died. So he may have seen him as doing the voice of Clifford the big red dog. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

He played the vampire Slayer. Oh yeah, that's right. What's?

Speaker 1:

funny about. So here's what's funny he's like a in problem trials. He's like a like like it's hard to really say, he's like a square. So he's like a very normal dad figure to like a really eccentric child with problems, and then like it's about him kind of like you know, trying to learn to be a dad, and then like, but so then you take like a nice guy like John Ritter and then you put him into Buffy where he's a crazy like step dad, step dad.

Speaker 1:

Spoiler alert, for Buffy turns out to be a malfunctioning robot or whatever, and then also he's the bad sheriff in Bride and Chucky or whatever. So he's also a horror movie. So they're kind of making fun of it, right, because his attitude or his reputation was that he was like a real nice guy, you know what I mean One of these nice guy actors, and then you put them in those types of shows and movies. However, I mean, I guess, like this movie is coming off his sex appeal from through his company, for sure, right, even the beginning is a little bit three's company, right. So definitely the sex appeal of early John Ritter is probably feeling the excitement for this movie.

Speaker 1:

However, I feel like it's not as popular as it should be, right, yeah, I only literally I just found out about it. You know, I should have known about it for a while, but I've only known about it for maybe a year or maybe two and just never decided to watch it. Me and Jordan in on some of these movies is really fun for me, because I don't know which way she's going to go with some of these tiles, which is making the show super interesting. But yeah, but that's it Like, because I think it falls apart in the later half of the movie, like the last. Maybe 20 minutes fall apart.

Speaker 1:

So, yeah, get, get around to it. Like exactly my experience, what I just said. Get around to it for your John Ritter experience, but it doesn't have to be rushed to the top of your pile. What are the fans doing? Talking a lot of trash on TikTok, that's for sure. Actually, no, they're pretty well engaged on TikTok, which is kind of like that's an experiment, because I have no interest in social media anymore at all, really, even though in real life I get paid to market things. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Yeah story of my life.

Speaker 1:

Like Jordan and I both work in some aspects of marketing, but I just like I'm just over it. You know whatever One person on YouTube said, like oh, you know good video, but I don't really understand the beginning and middle and end, because you didn't tell me the movie you're talking about. I'm like dude, it's a clip man. It should be all the essence of the clip. Like you, there's a microphone in the frame. We're saying the word podcast several times, like I just thought it would be pretty clear that there are clips from the actual podcast.

Speaker 1:

That's why our social is up there, but actually I mean that guy's an outlier because it is working. I've noticed the clips are driving a lot of traffic to the podcast on other channels, so it does work, folks. So if you're if you're at all you know a little inside baseball, or let's break the fourth wall. If you're you know, if you're a podcaster and you're deciding whether or not you should put any effort into putting your clips out there, you probably should. That's it for fanservice. That's when we talk about the fans complaints or you know, we'll give them back to Jordan's cat, like he's in charge of HR and everything. Send it on over.

Speaker 2:

Send it on over.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Although I I mean I might file a complaint against peanut butter Oreos. I don't know, Did you ever look? To see if they put me if they, if Oreo actually issued, issued like a peanut butter cup, or they probably had they had to Right.

Speaker 2:

You would think, just because they have like so many different types, you know they've got like the things they got double stuff They've got like you know which?

Speaker 1:

there's a lot of videos on on. We were just talking about social media. There's a lot of videos out there where they're like saying they're only stuffed 1.3. They're not actually double stuff. It's not controversial, the amount of stuffing that you get.

Speaker 2:

Wonder if they did statistics? What if twice the amount of the filling was actually too much, based off of the sample size? You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

So maybe it's science backed, but clearly you can't call it a customer because Oreo is Jordan's snack, I'm sure.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't even like Oreos. I will only eat them with peanut butter.

Speaker 1:

Oh, let's see, oh, staff picks If we watched anything else that we want to tell the audience about. Jordan sent me a 911 text saying please don't talk about the end of true detective.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can't no spoilers because I haven't seen it yet.

Speaker 1:

Obviously, the season finale aired on Sunday, so when dude is drowning in the ice, aquaman shows up and saves them. Aquaman, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Max crossed over their DC properties.

Speaker 1:

You know like well, true detective does really well, but the DC universe stuff is really sinking. So could we have a little crossover?

Speaker 2:

moment yeah.

Speaker 1:

So, Aquaman, you know what's his name shows up, jason Mamoa shows up there, this Aquaman, and saves them from, you know, the evil sea that keeps drowning people. Actually, I mean gosh, you, you, jerk. Sorry, I'm about to break up and I'm about to tell her all the awful things.

Speaker 2:

Don't even go there. Yeah, we'll have to talk about it personally, but no, I'll watch it tonight. I probably.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, if you're watching the fourth season of true detective it's called Night Country and something seems to possess people to wander out into the ice Gosh, I guess all I can say is a joke that I made up about Aquaman showing up. Actually, I usually say I didn't. I didn't do our regular intro at the beginning of the show, whatever. I forgot to say who we were and what we're doing, like I guess I was about to remind them that I only spoil the things I like and if I don't deliver spoiler, I guess that means I didn't like it.

Speaker 1:

Didn't like something.

Speaker 2:

We differed on tonight's movie, so I'm still excited to watch it.

Speaker 1:

My notes are saying time to wrap it up and tell people what to preview for next week. Tbd you know we're supposed to be getting into a centric character month. I mean marches around the corner. Although you know I was rewatching some vampire movies that when I remember when they came out on video that they sucked, but I was rewatching them I go like they're actually not that bad. So it's like, do I want to break from status quo and not go along with like our? By the way, folks, our entire year is planned. If you're wondering, we have a Google document and we have movies. That we've been, we've been putting a plan together but um, yeah, marches typically March Madness.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, like the real March Madness, like some kind of psychological issues. However, in the past we've already had a problem where it's like bad romance movies or thrillers, so they have a psychological bent.

Speaker 2:

So then we watch the and then we watch.

Speaker 1:

So it's like we're like wait a minute, we just watched crazy movies, now you know, yeah. So thanks for listening. Thanks for tuning in. Johnny. Spoiler only spoil the movies I love. Tony is always by Jordan Savage. She's so savage you can review a movie and give you an answer without having seen it. The savage scream Queen herself.

Speaker 1:

We've been doing some killer episodes. I don't know what to tell you people. This is like a year of rebuilding and it's definitely like a year to stand alone. I don't know. It's a very different. It's a very different show from last year. But we also don't have these corporate overlords that like tie your hands behind your back and give you, like you know, ad libs, like give you scripts that you can only say certain things at certain times. So I like kind of a catch 22. It's like, yeah, every podcast your dreams of, like you know big sponsor, endorsements or dollars, but however, the content could suffer. So right now our content is just out of control and pure content.

Speaker 1:

It's been a lot of. It's been a lot of fun just going wild again. So yeah when it got created, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, don't forget to eat your Oreos with peanut butter. That's it. Yeah, age your Oreos with peanut butter won't be disappointed.

Speaker 1:

No, not sponsored or endorsed by either peanut butter or Oreo or Oreos. And now they won't, because I'm like Oreos and peanut butter.

Speaker 2:

You won't be disappointed. It's the best.

Speaker 1:

Let me see what are my crap snacks that I have. What do I like? The only thing that I really put peanut butter in his tortillas Like if I'm getting peanut butter out, like that's the first thing that's my go to with peanut butter is to stick it in the tortilla with a little sugar, or no, you just peanut butter. Dang. No, it's just peanut butter.

Speaker 1:

No, I used to do tortilla with cinnamon and sugar and and although I am becoming a gourmet fan of or a gourmand, as I say of like melted peanut butter into other food products, like I tried to explain to somebody the other day that like hey, there's a trend currently in cheeseburgers where they're melt, or burgers where they're, you know, putting peanut butter on burgers and stuff like that. Like they've candied our bacon, they put candy bacon jam on burgers and there's also a bent to put the peanut butter on it and I'm like peanut butter does not go on a burger, it's an oil break it down by its components.

Speaker 1:

if it comes with oil, I mean there's peanut butter oil in a lot of, you know, Asian cooking. Yeah, you won't do it. You won't do the peanut butter, you won't put it on a burger.

Speaker 2:

No peanut butter. Peanut oil is delicious, so I do like peanut oil. Open a coal box of wine or pour something. Oh, that's the wrong song.

Speaker 1:

They're going to think that it's that was the gag. They're going to think that was the ending gag, the fact that I clicked the wrong song twice. I was like roll it back. I can. I could have not said anything, but I started making every episode folks has like its own rhythm vibe and like this one is like breaking the rules, where we're talking about the podcast as itself, as it's happening. We you know what I mean We've broken the sport. Yeah, she won't put peanut butter on a burger but she'll put peanut butter on an Oreo.

Speaker 2:

It's perfect the way Oreos were meant to be consumed.

Speaker 1:

Somebody writes Oreo. Is it a bisco? It might be a bisco. There's no mine on.

Speaker 2:

It is no bisco I was. I can see it in my eye, in my brain eye. It goes by eyes. That doesn't a bisco. I think on the cookie, maybe on one side or in the corner.

Speaker 1:

Were you watching skin deep while eating the peanut butter Oreos?

Speaker 2:

No, peanut butter, Oreos came after.

Speaker 1:

Interesting. So good. Okay.
