EP. 371 — Sinbad of the Seven Seas LIVE! w/ Jessica St. Clair

 

[00:00:00] Paul Scheer: If you don’t like this movie, blame Edgar Allen Poe. We saw Sinbad of the Seven Seas, so you know what that means.

[00:01:01] Music: [Intro Song] [00:01:03] Paul Scheer: Hello people of Earth, and hello people of Boise! Oh, right. We are live at the Tree Fort Music Festival to talk about a little film called Sinbad of the Seven Seas, which shockingly came out in 1989, 1989, 1 year before 1990. Just want you to pull that all together. I’m outta breath trying to break outta that cage. I got a lot more respect for Lou Ferrigno. IMDB describes this movie as

[00:01:46] “Sinbad and his shipmates and a young prince must battle an evil wizard to gain a hand of a beautiful princess.”

[00:01:55] Kind of, I don’t know, doesn’t feel exactly like it’s catching. It kind of seems like Sinbad goes on an adventure. He got to get some jewels, and sometimes plots are just completely dropped.

[00:02:08] Like mentioning the Prince is offensive to me because I rewatched the end of this movie four times just to make sure I didn’t miss that. The prince is not there. The princess ceases to exist. Oh, by the way, if you’ve not watched this movie, it’s completely ADR’d which means that no dialogue was recorded on set. A little child is voiced by what I would say is a 30-year-old woman.

[00:02:40] And just in case you’re wondering, we’ll get into this in a little bit later. This is not based on any Edgar Allen Poe story that we can find. I mean, yes, he wrote a story, but this is not, based on that. Tagline is “He must conquer evil on land and at sea.”

[00:03:03] Okay, again, not too exciting of a tagline. There is no box office.

[00:03:09] There is no domestic gross. This came straight to DVD, video tape, whatever it was. Thrown out with the trash at one point, and we are lucky enough to get it now. We are gonna break down this movie, every beat of it, and there are a lot of beats. But first, let me welcome my co-host. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas!

[00:03:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. What’s up jerks? Let’s go. Let’s go, Boise. There’s a boat outside. We’re all going to sea. It’s happening. Oh, I’m out of breath now.

[00:03:52] Paul Scheer: I am too. I don’t know what it is.

[00:03:54] Jason Mantzoukas: What altitude are we at?

[00:03:55] Paul Scheer: I felt that was just a Denver thing.

[00:03:56] Jason Mantzoukas: I don’t like it.

[00:03:57] Paul Scheer: Equally out breath for doing nothing. I’m like, what’s happening? We’re gonna die on this tour.

[00:04:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. Wow. Wow. Look at us. Look at us. Brand new. Brand new city, Boise, baby. I believe the only city on this tour we have never been to.

[00:04:17] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:04:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Right?

[00:04:18] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:04:19] Jason Mantzoukas: So you better fucking bring it, Boise. You better fucking bring it.

[00:04:24] Paul Scheer: So many people say, so many people say no one comes to Boise. And we said, we will come to Boise.

[00:04:33] Jason Mantzoukas: We will come, Boise. By the way, love these doppelgangers.

[00:04:40] Paul Scheer: Oh, they’re amazing.

[00:04:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Home run. Home run doppelgangers.

[00:04:42] Paul Scheer: Well, hold on, let me. The doppelgangers. Were great, but watch this. Jafar still here?

[00:04:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa. Oh wow.

[00:04:54] Paul Scheer: And Jason,

[00:04:55] Jason Mantzoukas: I need, here’s my only note. The guy overacted more. You, you could have overacted.

[00:05:02] Paul Scheer: So Jason.

[00:05:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, Paul.

[00:05:04] Paul Scheer: Has this movie ever come across your?

[00:05:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:05:07] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:05:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. Never once. Right. But this bears such a striking resemblance to a movie I saw as a child.

[00:05:14] Paul Scheer: Mm-hmm.

[00:05:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Which was Lou playing Hercules.

[00:05:17] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:05:18] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s the movie where he throws a bear into space and it becomes the star constellation Ursa Major.

[00:05:25] Paul Scheer: Which, didn’t we do that on the show?

[00:05:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Did we?

[00:05:28] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:05:29] Jason Mantzoukas: We did?

[00:05:30] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:05:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. Then I also, then I must have told this story about seeing it as a child then.

[00:05:34] Paul Scheer: Well tell it again.

[00:05:35] Jason Mantzoukas: I don’t care. I saw it as a child. We all walked out. So I did have a moment at the beginning where I was like, hang on, wait a minute. And then I was like, oh, whoa, this is a full on other Lou Ferrigno. Uh, and the fact that you just said that the Edgar Allen Poe at the beginning was a lie is blowing my mind.

[00:05:50] Paul Scheer: Well, not a lie, but it’s not.

[00:05:52] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s fiction.

[00:05:53] Paul Scheer: Well, it is.

[00:05:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Edgar Allen Poe never existed.

[00:05:56] Paul Scheer: True.

[00:05:56] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s what you said. And all the stories written by.

[00:05:58] Paul Scheer: Look it up.

[00:05:59] Jason Mantzoukas: All the stories written by him were written by Marlowe.

[00:06:01] Paul Scheer: That’s exactly right.

[00:06:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, not a big, not a big Marlow audience. Interesting. Interesting. Boise for a city that on its library has an exclamation point. That’s right. That’s right. Library!

[00:06:17] Paul Scheer: Yeah. We’ll get into the Edgar Allen Poe of it all in a second, but before we do, let’s bring out our very special co-host, A person who has been subjected to so many abs and so many pecks on this tour. And I feel like.

[00:06:31] Jason Mantzoukas: I would largue, we should maybe rename this tour, the Beefcake Tour.

[00:06:34] Paul Scheer: I mean it is. It is shaping up to be that. Please welcome, Jessica St. Clair. Welcome.

[00:06:48] Jessica St. Clair: Hi guys.

[00:06:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Let’s go.

[00:06:50] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:06:54] Paul Scheer: Jessica.

[00:06:55] Jessica St. Clair: Cuties.

[00:06:56] Paul Scheer: Jessica. Jessica.

[00:06:57] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:06:57] Paul Scheer: Um, is this your first time seeing a Lou Ferrigno film?

[00:07:02] Jessica St. Clair: So Lou Ferrigno was briefly my neighbor.

[00:07:06] Paul Scheer: What?

[00:07:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa.

[00:07:11] Jessica St. Clair: He lived on my block. He had four tiny dogs.

[00:07:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh.

[00:07:16] Jessica St. Clair: Which he walked.

[00:07:17] Jason Mantzoukas: What era? Like what general? How, how, like somewhat recently?

[00:07:21] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Like 10 years ago.

[00:07:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:07:22] Jessica St. Clair: Nine years ago.

[00:07:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, that’s great.

[00:07:24] Jessica St. Clair: Anyway, so, um, so what was confusing to me about this film is this is the type of movie that was like around when my sexual awakening was happening as a, as a young girl.

[00:07:36] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:07:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Which was when?

[00:07:38] Paul Scheer: 89.

[00:07:39] Jason Mantzoukas: 89?

[00:07:39] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:07:39] Jessica St. Clair: When is that? So when was, how old was I?

[00:07:41] Jason Mantzoukas: 17?

[00:07:42] Jessica St. Clair: No, no.

[00:07:43] Paul Scheer: Before high school. Yeah, before high school.

[00:07:44] Jessica St. Clair: 10 11.

[00:07:45] Paul Scheer: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:07:45] Jessica St. Clair: So Flash Gordon, people tying people up, you know, casting spells. This type of stuff got me going.

[00:07:55] Jason Mantzoukas: People tying people up, casting spells, like these are two very different kinks.

[00:08:03] Jessica St. Clair: It’s like a different time.

[00:08:06] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:08:06] Jessica St. Clair: Maybe it’s space, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s the olden days. Maybe it’s not.

[00:08:10] Jason Mantzoukas: No, no. Movies were hornier. Kids these days, they don’t know how to be horny because the movies aren’t telling them.

[00:08:15] Jessica St. Clair: That’s right.

[00:08:16] Paul Scheer: We’re not getting enough. We’re not getting enough horny movies. I mean, there was a whole, the like level or a whole genre of movies that were just like sex crimes. Right. It was just like, that’s it. As a she fucks them and kills them.

[00:08:29] Jessica St. Clair: Silk, silk stalkings, you know?

[00:08:31] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:08:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait a minute. Wait, that’s, that’s skinamax.

[00:08:33] Jessica St. Clair: Okay. But we had to find these things on.

[00:08:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah. In the woods.

[00:08:37] Jessica St. Clair: On basic cable.

[00:08:38] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:08:39] Jessica St. Clair: Do you know what I mean? We had to find it on a Saturday at two.

[00:08:41] Paul Scheer: Now our sex symbol is Mr. Beast.

[00:08:43] Jessica St. Clair: What the fuck is Mr. Beast?

[00:08:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Who? St. Clair just said, who’s Mr. Beast?

[00:08:48] Jessica St. Clair: Who’s Mr. Beast?

[00:08:49] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s mind blowing. ’cause even I know who Mr. Beast. And I’m a fucking idiot.

[00:08:53] Jessica St. Clair: Who’s Mr. Beast?

[00:08:54] Paul Scheer: Mr. Beast is, well, he is got a, a big reality show on Amazon.

[00:08:59] Jason Mantzoukas: He’s an enormous youTube personality. Who does like, stunty things like, if you can stand in one place for 46 days, I, I’ll give you.

[00:09:07] Jessica St. Clair: What, what sexy about that?

[00:09:08] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ll give you $5 million.

[00:09:09] Jessica St. Clair: Nothing.

[00:09:09] Paul Scheer: No, but my joke is that he is not sexy.

[00:09:11] Jessica St. Clair: Okay, well if you have to explain your joke, it’s not funny.

[00:09:16] Paul Scheer: Well, it it was based on the, you would know who he was.

[00:09:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Halfway, halfway, halfway through the tour. St. Clair doesn’t give a fuck. Also, St. Clair shows up to shows having not talked to anyone all day. And then it’s straight nuts.

[00:09:30] Jessica St. Clair: I know. And I like to go up to everyone’s spouses like, anybody fight today? Because I’m all alone. I’m like, yeah, it sounds really annoying. Fight more. Anyway, now, so what I was saying is when I saw this film, to be honest, my, my like deep in my loins there was a stirring.

[00:09:47] Paul Scheer: Wow.

[00:09:47] Jessica St. Clair: Well, there was.

[00:09:48] Paul Scheer: Well this is a horny movie.

[00:09:50] Jason Mantzoukas: It is a horny, it’s, it’s a horny movie. And also it’s got like a oiled up jacked.

[00:09:55] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:09:56] Jason Mantzoukas: Like hairless for you.

[00:09:57] Jessica St. Clair: Which I love.

[00:09:59] Jason Mantzoukas: I know. I’m reminding them, which I love. And not the thin waist we saw last night with the Barbarian brothers. No, he’s pretty proportionate. But at the the same time, I’m juggling that with watching him walk his elderly pugs. Right. You know, so there’s a lot of different things going on.

[00:10:15] Paul Scheer: ’cause he’s still a big guy. Like he’s not, he didn’t lose the muscle. No

[00:10:18] Jessica St. Clair: He didn’t. He’s a wonderful husband and spouse. I used to stare in at them while they were eating dinner. Think like, how does he sit in those tiny chairs?

[00:10:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Would you talk to, would you say hello? Would, was there.

[00:10:29] Jessica St. Clair: A little smile, a little Mona lisa smile.

[00:10:31] Jason Mantzoukas: What do you mean?

[00:10:32] Jessica St. Clair: Just like a little Hmm. I see you. So anyway.

[00:10:37] Paul Scheer: Now what happens if one day he comes knocking at your door, this older Lou Ferrigno wants to borrow something, you know, maybe some protein or whey. And he, and, you know and.

[00:10:49] Jessica St. Clair: A cup, a cup of whey please. A cup of whey powder.

[00:10:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Can I have a cup of whey?

[00:10:53] Paul Scheer: You’ve just gotten outta the shower and no one else is home. Oh. Do you invite Lou in? Do you invite Lou into your house?

[00:11:00] Jessica St. Clair: I’d give Lou a a, a roll in the hay for sure.

[00:11:03] Paul Scheer: Wow.

[00:11:03] Jessica St. Clair: I would, I have to tell you, I kind of enjoyed the film.

[00:11:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:11:07] Jessica St. Clair: I did.

[00:11:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh no.

[00:11:08] Jessica St. Clair: I, I dunno why.

[00:11:10] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ll say this. Once again. And I’m so grateful. This tour has been very enjoyable movies, with the exception of Kraven that are not too long. Right. This went down smooth.

[00:11:22] Jessica St. Clair: It went down smooth. And I like you could do your makeup while you’re watching it.

[00:11:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Yep. Know we all did.

[00:11:26] Jessica St. Clair: You put, you put in hot rollers, you know, while you’re watching it. Mm. But yeah, so anyway, I, I, that’s it. A lot of conflicting feelings, but it’s bringing back something, you know, very primal in me.

[00:11:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, it’s so gl so glad then that you were able to watch it alone in a hotel room.

[00:11:42] Paul Scheer: Now.

[00:11:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Is that why you got kicked out that hotel?

[00:11:45] Paul Scheer: Now I just wanna talk about the Edgar Allen Poe of it all. Let’s pull up, uh, let’s pull up one of these stills here. We can pull up, uh, still one. Okay. This is the title screen that we see.

[00:11:56] Jessica St. Clair: Did anybody else feel like Edgar Allen Poe has Jason’s eyes? Show me. Show them. Show them. Look out with your weird eyes. Look out. Does anybody see that resemblance? Am I right?

[00:12:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Would you, would you call them sexy eyes?

[00:12:13] Jessica St. Clair: Nope. Creep. Creep eyes. Creep Eyes.

[00:12:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Hunky eyes.

[00:12:18] Jessica St. Clair: Creep eyes.

[00:12:19] Paul Scheer: Now I will say when the Egger Allen Poe picture arrived, I was like, oh, maybe this is the production company like. PO productions. It’s like, oh no. Okay.

[00:12:27] We’re getting a little history about Poe. Don’t know how this connects to Sinbad at all. And then we get to side two. You know, we’re learning a little bit about him. We’re seeing that, you know, he is the inventor of, you know, various liter literary trends like, uh, thrillers and science fiction. And we get to side three here, which, you know, kind of sets up that he wrote this book, the Thousand and Second Tale of, and this is the Word, I will not be able to

[00:12:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Shaharazad

[00:12:51] Paul Scheer: Shaharazad.

[00:12:53] Now here’s the thing. No similarity can be found between the plot of that tale and this story. Hmm. If anything.

[00:13:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Is it a Sinbad story though? Is the title the same?

[00:13:06] Paul Scheer: It says No Similarity.

[00:13:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh wow.

[00:13:08] Paul Scheer: Can be found between its plot and the story, it says, it does borrow many elements from the 1940 film, the Thief of Baghdad.

[00:13:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:13:18] Paul Scheer: So I feel like it. They stole from something else, but they kind of put you off the path.

[00:13:23] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Or maybe they were trying to legitimize it to say this is a family film and not the jerk off fest that it obviously is for a preteen girl.

[00:13:31] Paul Scheer: Clearly, I don’t think that Edgar allen Poe screams family film.

[00:13:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, I felt like, I felt like this was an effort to make this movie feel like it had more gravitas or more weight.

[00:13:44] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:13:44] Jason Mantzoukas: That it’s like, oh, this isn’t just a, a, a, a beefcake Sinbad movie with like cheesy nonsense.

[00:13:51] Jessica St. Clair: Right.

[00:13:51] Jason Mantzoukas: This is based on an Edgar Allen Poe story, which check your records is pretty important now. And then it’s like, no, this is Lou Ferrigno doing absolute, like knocking down a a like dozens of of bad guys holding as a weapon, one of the bad guys.

[00:14:10] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:14:11] Paul Scheer: Which we need more of in our movies. More horny people and more bad guys as weapons.

[00:14:16] Jessica St. Clair: Yes. Yes, yes.

[00:14:17] Paul Scheer: Now I wanna cut to. Slide five here, because this is where I knew we were off the rails and this is it. That’s how they end the opening crawl. Like.

[00:14:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Even Edgar Allen Poe doesn’t look happy to be here.

[00:14:30] Paul Scheer: I’ve never seen something that’s like, this is based on a true story. That’s it. And here it is. Yeah. Motherfucker enjoy it. Like they serve it like that. This has an energy to it.

[00:14:44] Jason Mantzoukas: If I was the Edgar Allen Poe estate, I would sue Canon Films.

[00:14:47] Please don’t though we love Canon. When I saw that it was this, this was a Canon movie, I was like, oh, thank God.

[00:14:53] Paul Scheer: Well I knew it. It was a Canon movie when I saw, let’s just cut to clip number one here. The ADR in the film.

[00:15:00] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:15:00] Paul Scheer: Here take a look at,

[00:15:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:15:01] Paul Scheer: Now if you’re listening, just know that these voices do not match. This is clip number one. So, and you’ll just get a little taste of the voices in this movie. Starts off Princess Bride style. Yeah. Mom telling a daughter story.

[00:15:16] Movie Audio: I’ll read you a story. It’s a very strange story, but you’ll have to promise me you’ll go to sleep afterwards.

[00:15:24] I promise.

[00:15:26] Jason Mantzoukas: I promise it’s Mommy what happens to Sinbad?

[00:15:28] Mommy. I promise Mommy.

[00:15:31] Paul Scheer: Mother. I definitely promise I’m a young girl and I promise you.

[00:15:35] Jason Mantzoukas: This is, this is basically the voice used in the Exorcist.

[00:15:39] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:15:39] Paul Scheer: I am so disturbed by this little girl’s room. First of all, it looks like she’s living in a dorm. Some sheet is just put up on the wall, a blue sheet, and uh, and I don’t know if we could rewind it, but if, if there is also a headshot, which is clearly the daughter’s headshot.

[00:15:56] Jessica St. Clair: Oh, okay. Like when they cast her.

[00:15:58] Paul Scheer: Yeah. And they’re like.

[00:15:59] Jason Mantzoukas: They were like, oh, well, people won’t know it’s a headshot. They’ll just think it’s a picture.

[00:16:03] Paul Scheer: Right. Her own headshot adorns her bed. That is a weird choice.

[00:16:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, oh, this movie is, I, I will say this. There isn’t a single normal choice in the movie.

[00:16:16] Jessica St. Clair: No.

[00:16:16] Jason Mantzoukas: This movie is wall to wall. Weird choices.

[00:16:19] Jessica St. Clair: But that’s why I think it’s great.

[00:16:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Abso fully agree.

[00:16:22] Jessica St. Clair: ’cause there’s not even one normal, nobody’s trying to have a normal scene. No, this is an insane, it’s an hour and a half long bedtime story.

[00:16:30] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah. Oh, where, where the mom’s.

[00:16:32] Jessica St. Clair: 1:30 AM by the time they’re done.

[00:16:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, so much. It like sunrise has happened.

[00:16:37] Jessica St. Clair: She’s just like, and there are eyes are bleeding. Like, what happens next? When do I get to sleep?

[00:16:43] Paul Scheer: Clearly the director saw Princess Bride and was like, I got it. But wouldn’t it be more interesting if the narration never stopped? And, and he goes, and the mom goes off track multiple times like, well mommy, what’s going on?

[00:16:58] And she’s like, well, I think that he just felt that he wasn’t into that and she was probably like, I don’t know, she’s just. Riff it.

[00:17:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, the she the daughter’s the daughter at a certain point should absolutely have been like this story. This story has narrative problems.

[00:17:12] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:17:13] Jason Mantzoukas: This story has, this has act three problems. Problems, yeah. I don’t understand what’s the all hope is lost moment.

[00:17:20] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:17:21] Paul Scheer: What For sure. I mean the daughter, I was confused when I had to write down all the names. It’s like we have the Viking, we have Poochie, we have Sinbad, we have guys, the bald cook.

[00:17:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Cook, the bald cook. And Poochie, let’s be honest, are useless.

[00:17:35] Jessica St. Clair: And why? The bald cook looks like he’s got a couple guns on him. He could do something behind all time.

[00:17:41] Paul Scheer: Bald cook. He just hides the bald cook. At the only time in the movie where they eat, the poochie comes out is like, I made dinner.

[00:17:50] Jessica St. Clair: I know.

[00:17:50] Paul Scheer: Well, why wasn’t the bald cook making dinner?

[00:17:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Is Poochie from the Simpsons?

[00:17:55] Paul Scheer: Poochie is the dog, the cool dog from The Simpsons.

[00:17:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay, cool. Just making sure.

[00:18:00] Paul Scheer: Yeah. And when Poochie, Poochie PI believe, and when Pooch Poochie does find my favorite part of the movie where Poochie does overhear Jafar talking to a mirror, which is not possessed, he’s just talking into a mirror.

[00:18:13] Jessica St. Clair: Sure.

[00:18:13] Paul Scheer: He is. He’s not having any larger conversation. No, he, he and he and then Rick then run. We watch the scene. Pucci hears him, then goes out, and then re. Repeats it. And then there’s also voiceovers, like, this is the plot we’re underlining, this is what’s going on. Don’t be confused.

[00:18:30] Jessica St. Clair: Well, and I appreciate that because then we go on some tangents and some and some sidestepping.

[00:18:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, it, the whole movie is just a series of quests, right? Yes. Every, it’s a vignette. Every, it’s like he’s, uh, at the beginning of the movie, Jaffar scatters also, we don’t even start the quest for like so long.

[00:18:49] Jessica St. Clair: No.

[00:18:49] Jason Mantzoukas: You know, I was like, so anyway, Jaffar sends all these gems all over the place and so now they’ve gotta go and collect, recollect the gems and bring them back, blah, blah, blah.

[00:18:57] So that’s the whole movie. They just go on one thing after another and they always fight him some sort of a, a guy in a big rubber suit who’s either supposed to be rocks or slime, or.

[00:19:07] Jessica St. Clair: It’s the same actor, same suit for sure.

[00:19:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Suit, same suit, suit every time.

[00:19:10] Paul Scheer: The movie is going at a clip until they get to the island of the dead. And then it’s like, you know what? Let’s chill out here for an hour.

[00:19:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay, let me ask you this.

[00:19:19] Paul Scheer: Every other Quest, five, 10 minutes.

[00:19:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Let me ask you this because, uh, the Island of the Dead made me think of it, is what is what I wish we had cut back to the mom telling the story right. As he shoves his hand into the king of the Dead’s chest.

[00:19:33] Paul Scheer: Oh, yeah.

[00:19:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Pulls out his heart, which has his face on it.

[00:19:37] Jessica St. Clair: Yep.

[00:19:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Like, what’s the story she’s telling the little girl?

[00:19:42] Jessica St. Clair: Squeezes it.

[00:19:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:19:43] Jessica St. Clair: Green Goo comes out of it.

[00:19:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. And Si and Sinbad punched straight through his chest. Like the daughter would be like, what?

[00:19:51] Paul Scheer: Don’t worry, daughter, his heart was in the shape of his own face. But that’s the way the Legion of Death have their own hearts, like mini mees. Austin Powers. I read the script. It’s coming out soon.

[00:20:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Does does my heart have a face, mommy?

[00:20:07] Paul Scheer: Why would your heart, what does my heart’s face look like? Why would your heart have your own face? I mean, now, yes. I say that as someone who was one of the actors in a movie called Meet Dave, where Eddie Murphy was the captain of a spaceship that looked like Eddie Murphy.

[00:20:20] Jessica St. Clair: That makes sense to me.

[00:20:22] Paul Scheer: Makes some sense.

[00:20:23] Jessica St. Clair: That does. Did anybody, was anybody disturbed by how much Jafar and the and uh, the king, the whatever his name is. Yeah. Look like the Aladdin characters.

[00:20:39] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:20:39] Jessica St. Clair: They. Did they rip him off?

[00:20:41] Jason Mantzoukas: No. No. These are all characters that are in one.

[00:20:44] Jessica St. Clair: No, but they look exactly like the drawings.

[00:20:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:20:48] Paul Scheer: Right. But the drawings.

[00:20:49] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:20:50] Jason Mantzoukas: So you think, you think Aladdin ripped this movie.

[00:20:53] Jessica St. Clair: I am really concerned.

[00:20:55] Jason Mantzoukas: I feel like there’s, uh, when you go out there, I feel like some smart person, maybe there’s a library in the audience is gonna explain what’s going on here.

[00:21:01] Paul Scheer: Wait, you mean a librarian?!

[00:21:03] Audience Member: Librarian!

[00:21:04] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:21:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Library!

[00:21:07] Jessica St. Clair: There’s always a librarian in the audience.

[00:21:09] Jason Mantzoukas: The building was.

[00:21:09] Jessica St. Clair: So anyway, I think that’s very disturbing.

[00:21:11] Paul Scheer: No, uh, you were right. It definitely reminded me of very much of Aladdin. ’cause I think it does steal from the story that Aladdin was based on. Now you do bring up Jafar, which is by far the best performance by Jafar.

[00:21:24] Jessica St. Clair: By Jafar. The best performance.

[00:21:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Jafar and away, the best performance.

[00:21:32] Paul Scheer: Jafar brings it and is only knocked off his perch for, and we’ll talk about her in a little bit by Sukra.

[00:21:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Sukra. Okay, now, so this is interesting because. We’ve talked extensively about how the movie is all a DR, which is additional recording, uh, uh, uh, whatever dialogue recording, which is recorded after. So in almost every scene in this movie, they are not capturing sound on set.

[00:21:57] Paul Scheer: Right. Right. Which is a normal thing for Italian productions.

[00:22:00] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes, it’s true. Yes, yes. Like all the spaghetti westerns are dubbed, everything’s dubbed except for the, in the scenes in the, um, on set.

[00:22:09] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:22:09] Jason Mantzoukas: So Sukra and Jafar are talking. That is though. Those are their voices and those scenes as a result are incredible. I mean, because Sukra is like, what’s up? I’m Sukra, I’m here. Let’s do this.

[00:22:23] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:22:23] Paul Scheer: Sukra walked out of like gold’s Gym on Venice Beach into.

[00:22:29] Jessica St. Clair: Glamorous ladies of wrestling.

[00:22:31] Jason Mantzoukas: I was like, fuck yes. There’s a red Sonia here. Let’s fucking do this.

[00:22:35] Paul Scheer: I’m coming for ’em. I’ll get ’em. And I was so excited to see Sukra’s fight.

[00:22:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Never happens.

[00:22:41] Paul Scheer: Never.

[00:22:42] Jessica St. Clair: I know.

[00:22:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Heartbroken.

[00:22:43] Paul Scheer: She literally, the movie says, she’s like, I wanna fight him. Yeah. And I’m like.

[00:22:47] Jessica St. Clair: Would’ve loved to see it.

[00:22:48] Paul Scheer: Would’ve don’t see.

[00:22:49] Jessica St. Clair: It wasn’t ready for it. They weren’t ready for a woman to fight.

[00:22:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Sinbad Sinbad doesn’t even fight Jafar.

[00:22:55] Paul Scheer: Yeah. Sinbad fights himself. I thought at one point I was like, maybe I missed Jafar. Turning Sukra into Sinbad. No, but no, he just turns air into Sinbad. ’cause he could have also turned himself Sinbad like.

[00:23:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Wouldn’t have been great if when Sinbad shows up, Jafar is first like Sukra, get him. Yeah. So we get a big, a big battle scene. That would’ve been a big fight scene. Yeah. I love Sukra. I love Jaffar. Everybody is, I think, incredible in this, uh, with the, with the possible exception, uh, of what’s going on with Viking Warrior? What’s this guy’s deal? Why don’t he, he does not talk. Full stop.

[00:23:31] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, he has a few lines and his accent is all over the place.

[00:23:35] Jason Mantzoukas: All over the place. And he is constantly getting his ass kicked.

[00:23:38] Jessica St. Clair: Right. Well, how old is he?

[00:23:39] Jason Mantzoukas: He’s the warrior.

[00:23:40] Jessica St. Clair: Is he old?

[00:23:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I think he’s old.

[00:23:42] Jessica St. Clair: I think he might be older than the rest of them.

[00:23:45] Paul Scheer: Well, here’s my thought. My thought is this, they’re coming back from an exciting journey. We don’t know what that journey was. Yeah. And he is like, finally take some time off.

[00:23:52] Jessica St. Clair: Some RnR.

[00:23:53] Paul Scheer: Yeah. And, and he is like, I gotta go back.

[00:23:55] Jessica St. Clair: Some weight off the joints.

[00:23:56] Paul Scheer: !And, and I feel like he just is, you’re seeing him suffer from like, it’s like almost when basketball players play like a back to back. Yeah. It’s like he’s playing a little tired. Yeah. I feel like he, he’s definitely carrying that energy with him.

[00:24:07] Jason Mantzoukas: The only people, worthwhile people I feel like on this team are the Chinese Soldier of Fortune and Sinbad.

[00:24:12] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:24:13] Jason Mantzoukas: They are.

[00:24:14] Jessica St. Clair: And Poochie and Little Poochie.

[00:24:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Poochie iss incredible. But Poochie and the bald cook are always like.

[00:24:20] Paul Scheer: Poochie iss a rat. We gotta get the little rat in there to figure out what’s going on.

[00:24:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Poochie iss great. I wish they’d used Poochie more, but they keep, they, that’s what I couldn’t figure out. Like they, they spend all this time putting the team together, like it’s Fellowship of the Ring, and then they’re like, okay, there’s bad guys, Pucci, bald cook, you guys hide in the boat, we’re gonna go over here and all separate. And then everybody gets either captured or turned into, like.

[00:24:41] Paul Scheer: They’re always getting captured. They cannot, they’re always getting captured.

[00:24:45] Jason Mantzoukas: They love getting captured and tied up.

[00:24:50] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:24:51] Paul Scheer: I, I do. Yeah. There is a moment early on where they come back to Baskar and they, they’re, they’re in their, you know, they’re in the castle.

[00:24:59] They’re being held, uh, captive. Lou Ferrigno is down in the dungeon. And when this scene happens, when Lou Ferrigno talks to a snake, like,

[00:25:09] Jessica St. Clair: He’s so validating.

[00:25:11] Paul Scheer: Who hurt you? Who hurt you?

[00:25:12] Jessica St. Clair: He’s so, and for that age, an 89, for him to know how to validate another person’s experience and to say, I see you, snake. I understand you’re afraid. Those are the 10 things we’re supposed to talk to our kids like that.

[00:25:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Isn’t it interesting that he would rather validate the snakes than the women in this movie?

[00:25:30] Jessica St. Clair: Wow. Jason, you are an America’s hero.

[00:25:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Makes you think.

[00:25:35] Jessica St. Clair: Why you’re still single. Nobody knows.

[00:25:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Makes you think here.

[00:25:39] Jessica St. Clair: Nobody knows.

[00:25:40] Paul Scheer: Here’s what I will say. I felt like, wow, he really gets these snakes. We should actually watch a clip of that, please. That’s, uh, clip three.

[00:25:48] Jessica St. Clair: Please.

[00:25:48] Movie Audio: I need your help. Come here.

[00:25:51] Paul Scheer: He’s got a real connection with this snake.

[00:25:55] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, he does.

[00:25:56] Movie Audio: Nervous. Huh?

[00:25:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Nervous. Huh?

[00:25:59] Movie Audio: I know where you’re coming from.

[00:26:01] Jessica St. Clair: This is what he’d talk like this if we were on a date.

[00:26:03] Jason Mantzoukas: No, it it’d be like right before sex.

[00:26:05] Paul Scheer: Well, to me, I felt like he was grooming.

[00:26:08] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, he was. You’re right.

[00:26:09] Paul Scheer: Because he, what he winds up doing is hurting the snakes very badly.

[00:26:14] Jessica St. Clair: Yes. No snake would survive that.

[00:26:16] Jason Mantzoukas: You can’t.

[00:26:17] Paul Scheer: When he is tying, he’s tying tails like, ugh.

[00:26:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Those aren’t tails. Snakes don’t have tails. They have bodies.

[00:26:23] Jessica St. Clair: That’s their body.

[00:26:25] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s the snake’s body. And he’s ripping it to shreds so he doesn’t have a tail.

[00:26:29] Paul Scheer: You’re right. So he is putting his full body weight on those snakes and he’s talking so sexy to ’em and then seemingly leaves those snakes hanging.

[00:26:37] Jessica St. Clair: In shreds

[00:26:38] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re forgetting. You’re forgetting an essential part of it. He full, his full body weight, he uses.

[00:26:44] Paul Scheer: That’s what I’m saying. Yeah.

[00:26:46] Jason Mantzoukas: They are. These snakes are so dead.

[00:26:50] Jessica St. Clair: They’re so dead.

[00:26:51] Jason Mantzoukas: It is this.

[00:26:52] Jessica St. Clair: But they might be part alive. That’s the sad part. You know that like when you cut off, like it’s still alive, the earthworm part of it and they’re, and they know that they’re gonna die. Yes. And they’re hung there.

[00:27:03] Jason Mantzoukas: One of the things that I wish that this movie would’ve done would’ve been to have like 10% more craziness. Like let the snakes have voices.

[00:27:11] Jessica St. Clair: Sure.

[00:27:11] Paul Scheer: Like he clearly, uh, I really don’t know what I go through. Jeff Farr’s always making me bite people.

[00:27:17] Jason Mantzoukas: You know, they’re. Listen and they’re Italian snakes, so maybe they’ve got an Italian accent.

[00:27:22] Jessica St. Clair: Right, right.

[00:27:23] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s like, oh my. Yeah. Oh, oh yeah. Oh, supply a sinbad. Oh no, don’t tie me in an.

[00:27:30] Paul Scheer: It’s a, so is it like a pizza in the pasta. And it looks like a spaghetti.

[00:27:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Why is it so high pitched? And you went straight to like, so high pitch.

[00:27:41] Paul Scheer: My Luigi

[00:27:45] Jessica St. Clair: Been a lot of time alone in those hotel rooms.

[00:27:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:27:48] Paul Scheer: Um, where, where did you guys fall in the, uh Pun-ishers.

[00:27:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, that, that the, that the torturer has a clever, has clever word play for everyone.

[00:27:59] Jessica St. Clair: He’s got your hair.

[00:28:00] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s another Oh yeah, that’s another one that I was like, give me 10, give me more of this guy.

[00:28:05] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:28:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Let this guy be like, Hey guys, remember I, I’ve gotta show this Friday night. Uh, I’m doing improv with some friends, so this is just kind of what I do.

[00:28:15] Paul Scheer: Oh, the. The piranha love to eat you. ’cause you’re gonna have, they don’t like hair in their teeth.

[00:28:22] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:28:23] Paul Scheer: And I was like, but the man has a full beard so the joke doesn’t really even work.

[00:28:26] Jessica St. Clair: And he screams that out. Yeah. I have a beard before they lower ’em in, but I have a beard.

[00:28:32] I think a lot of these decisions were being made on the day.

[00:28:35] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:28:35] Jessica St. Clair: You know, and people were all, it was like there, you know, it wasn’t like, oh, the actors and the writers are separate.

[00:28:41] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:28:41] Jessica St. Clair: It’s like we’re all doing this together, you know? And we’re only gonna be shooting for four hours today ’cause we gotta knock off and have that pasta lunch.

[00:28:48] Paul Scheer: And by the way, I keep on cutting back to the girl, hearing the story like Uhhuh Uhhuh, like, and then another one’s thrown into the piranha pit. People get thrown at that piranha pit.

[00:28:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Everyone.

[00:28:59] Paul Scheer: And they don’t ever seem to even fight their way out.

[00:29:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Also, also the pit’s not that big. No, the pit’s not big enough for six.

[00:29:05] Paul Scheer: Like a kitty pool.

[00:29:06] Jason Mantzoukas: For six men to be put into.

[00:29:08] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:29:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Also in this scene he says, he says to the snakes like, things haven’t been good for you since Eve. And I was like, does this story exist in a biblical, in a, in a post the Old Testament time, I, I couldn’t figure that out at all.

[00:29:28] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Well there’s that religion major of coming back for you.

[00:29:31] Paul Scheer: But is it also that all snakes are connected like. Does that snake know the story of Eve? Like do they share one brain? It’s not like, oh, well yes. I was reading the Bible. Uh, and you’re right. We’ve really gotten a fair shake.

[00:29:45] Jason Mantzoukas: That all, is that all snakes Like shared trauma?

[00:29:47] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:29:48] Jessica St. Clair: Is that generational trauma? Wait, but I thought what I, I can’t believe we’re spending this much time on the snake scene, but I really thought that he was gonna like motivate them to like get up in the palace and bite people.

[00:29:59] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:29:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Right.

[00:30:00] Jessica St. Clair: It was all to tie a snake rope. That’s all that was.

[00:30:03] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s it was all it was.

[00:30:04] Paul Scheer: We could tie like. That’s what I’m saying. He was grooming them to do evil to them.

[00:30:08] Jessica St. Clair: That’s fucked up.

[00:30:09] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:30:09] Jessica St. Clair: And that’s like the opposite of a save the cat moment. That’s what Kill the snake.

[00:30:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Kill the snake moment.

[00:30:13] Paul Scheer: Book about screenwriting. Kill a snake. Kill the snake. Yeah. Kill How to make

[00:30:17] 10 movies for $40.

[00:30:19] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. And how to be horny as hell.

[00:30:21] Paul Scheer: Um, when they go to that island of.

[00:30:23] Jessica St. Clair: The island of pussy.

[00:30:24] Paul Scheer: Yes. The island of pussy.

[00:30:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Incredible.

[00:30:27] Jessica St. Clair: In Incre, I knew something was coming. I was so excited for that.

[00:30:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, it was. Yes, it was.

[00:30:32] Jessica St. Clair: It was something weirder though than I imagined I wanted.

[00:30:35] Jason Mantzoukas: It was no wait. When that woman turned into an old lady game of throne style, I was like, I was like, uh uh oh.

[00:30:42] Jessica St. Clair: No. Your first Uhoh is when the first woman they see is just doing multiple.

[00:30:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:30:50] Jessica St. Clair: Backhand, springing, backhand springing, backhand. Spring through the woods, and then.

[00:30:54] Paul Scheer: Just for fun.

[00:30:55] Jessica St. Clair: And then the other one attacks that man with her crotch.

[00:30:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:31:01] Paul Scheer: Lou Ferrigno’s girlfriend, uh, was very beautiful.

[00:31:04] Jessica St. Clair: Hot. Hot, hot, hot, hot.

[00:31:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Beautiful. Yeah. Beautiful. And she, is she the Amazon Queen?

[00:31:08] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:31:09] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:31:09] Jason Mantzoukas: The, she’s referred to as a mind vampire.

[00:31:12] Jessica St. Clair: That’s right.

[00:31:12] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.

[00:31:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Now, yes. Mind. She is exerting some sort of mind control or something like that. How is it Vampiric?

[00:31:20] Paul Scheer: She’s sucking away his will.

[00:31:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Is that it? Okay.

[00:31:23] Paul Scheer: Well, because I think that there is, but, but this is what I didn’t understand. One woman gets one guy by crotch, the other woman gets the other guy by butt dart. Why are they, why are they so varied? Like they just wanna hold them there, right? Yeah. So why, like, was that a, do they all have special skills?

[00:31:40] Jason Mantzoukas: I think so, yeah.

[00:31:41] Paul Scheer: Okay. So butt darts are butt dart.

[00:31:43] Jessica St. Clair: Honestly.

[00:31:43] Jason Mantzoukas: The prince Ali gets the butt dart.

[00:31:45] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:31:46] Jessica St. Clair: You know, the scene that I wanted to see was them all fucking them to death or something like that.

[00:31:52] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:31:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:31:52] Jessica St. Clair: Like honestly, that’s what, and we were even on the boat setting up Ooh. And bring the ointment.

[00:31:58] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:31:58] Jessica St. Clair: And I’m like, uhhuh for your penis.

[00:32:00] Paul Scheer: A lot of weird lotions.

[00:32:01] Jessica St. Clair: Like, I’m like, yeah, there’s lotions coming.

[00:32:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Like pause and good idea. I’ll get the ointment. Good idea.

[00:32:05] Paul Scheer: So many ointments there.

[00:32:07] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s so nice, the hotel provides ointment.

[00:32:10] Jessica St. Clair: So I feel, so I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities. You know what I mean?

[00:32:15] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:32:16] Jessica St. Clair: I don’t know.

[00:32:16] Paul Scheer: Now, can I just say I, well I’ll ask this question very openly and honestly. That woman when she turns old. That’s a white woman in blackface, right?

[00:32:23] Jessica St. Clair: Is it?

[00:32:24] Paul Scheer: Yes. It was very disturbing.

[00:32:26] Jessica St. Clair: Oh, no.

[00:32:26] Paul Scheer: They clearly could not find an older black woman. They’re like, this will work. And it’s.

[00:32:31] Jessica St. Clair: Oh, that’s disturbing.

[00:32:32] Paul Scheer: It’s doubly shocking. At first it’s an old woman, you’re like, whoa. And then you’re like, oh, oh no.

[00:32:37] Jason Mantzoukas: There are, oh, there are shockingly, uh, offensive images. Very offensive music cues. Yeah. Yeah. There are stuff, there’s stuff in this movie that is

[00:32:46] Jessica St. Clair: Confucius say.

[00:32:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Truly reprehensible.

[00:32:49] Paul Scheer: This guy is working off of fortune. Cookie logic.

[00:32:52] Jessica St. Clair: Yes. Nope.

[00:32:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, it’s nuts. It’s.

[00:32:54] Paul Scheer: But I will say that some of the things that Confucius did say were. I was like, oh, that’s interesting.

[00:32:58] Jessica St. Clair: Pretty smart. You wrote it down.

[00:32:59] Paul Scheer: Yeah, I did. Uh, a lot of plastic to hold down the princess. Oh. When she’s in that lair she is in.

[00:33:05] Jessica St. Clair: Doesn’t have that much technology at that age.

[00:33:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, yeah, that’s thing is in Jafar lair It’s, they have machines, they have tubes, they have Lucite, they have plastic Lucite, they have clear Lucite. She’s in clear, like hand guards. I was like, what’s going on? Tubes with like stuff and then later multiple people shoot lasers.

[00:33:25] Jessica St. Clair: And out of the gems.

[00:33:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Multiple people, straight shoot lasers. Well sometimes one out the G but sometimes out of their hands.

[00:33:31] Jessica St. Clair: Yep.

[00:33:32] Paul Scheer: There’s moments in this movie where, uh, I mean. Are there cameras? Because Lou Ferrigno looks right in the camera’s like, alright, Jafar, I’m coming for you.

[00:33:40] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, fuck you. Jafar.

[00:33:40] Paul Scheer: Like, he’s in the Running man. Or something like that.

[00:33:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Sometimes jafar is watching them on the.

[00:33:45] Jessica St. Clair: Like a primitive iPad.

[00:33:47] Jason Mantzoukas: On the tv.

[00:33:48] Paul Scheer: Well, but that, but that’s okay. Jafar can be watching them.

[00:33:51] Jason Mantzoukas: No, I agree.

[00:33:52] Paul Scheer: But you can’t be watching Jafar. Like there’s no other shiny surface.

[00:33:55] Jason Mantzoukas: I agree. But what’s so fun, and I agree. It’s so funny because there’ll be action and then Lou Ferrigno, Sinbad will win and then he’ll be like, yes, Jafar, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[00:34:04] But they don’t then cut to Jaffar looking at the screen, seeing Ferrigno yelling at him. So it just is strange.

[00:34:12] Jessica St. Clair: Connective tissue’s missing.

[00:34:13] Jason Mantzoukas: It just, yes, it just feels weird. And you have to be like, why is he doing that? Oh wait, maybe he thinks, but what if Jaffar iss just not looking at the thing right now.

[00:34:22] Right. What if Jaffar is like got diarrhea? Right. And he’s just.

[00:34:28] Paul Scheer: Right. Yeah. It’s not like, it’s not like a ring doorbell where you go back and go, oh, who was, oh yes. Sinbad.

[00:34:33] Jason Mantzoukas: I would love it. I would love it if Sinbad was like, I’m coming for you. Jafar, get ready. And it cuts to just an empty room. And Sukra is just like, whatever.

[00:34:46] Paul Scheer: By the way, there are so many things that are just out of the world, like Sukra is like, did you take your meds this morning, Jafar? You take your meds.

[00:34:54] Jessica St. Clair: The fact that they all have Brooklyn accents is so shocking at first.

[00:34:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, yeah.

[00:34:59] Jessica St. Clair: Do you know what I mean? And they, and they are speaking so modern.

[00:35:02] Paul Scheer: So casually. Like the girl that, uh, Sinbad falls in love with, she’s like, yeah, anyway, my dad’s kind of crazy. He made a fucking helicopter and we go and get a, anyway, we’re here at the sole.

[00:35:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, you mean her dad, Salvador Dali? Who speaks like a gibberish language?

[00:35:19] Paul Scheer: I was like, what kind of terrible clown show have I been admitted to, to watch this man perform?

[00:35:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Crazy.

[00:35:25] Jessica St. Clair: But why does she speak English? Yeah, she, it’s only been her and her dad for like, I don’t know, 20 years.

[00:35:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Her dad, whose name is Nadir, who I believe is like the lowest level. Doesn’t that mean the bottom up?

[00:35:37] Paul Scheer: I think it does, by the way, when they do fly away on the little, the little, what is it like?

[00:35:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, the hot air balloon.

[00:35:45] Paul Scheer: Yeah, hot air balloons.

[00:35:46] Jason Mantzoukas: The hot air balloon that Sinbad inflates by blowing into it. I’m pretty sure his, what comes out of it, his lungs is not lighter than oxygen. Making them able to fly. Right?

[00:36:01] Paul Scheer: I, I don’t know. All I know is that the daughter has a cup of coffee. She’s like, well, I’m just gonna enjoy this flight.

[00:36:07] She’s drinking outta a cup. Like she is like getting table service in the little hot air balloon. And then at one point they’re like, throw everything overboard. That’s too heavy. And they just seem to have had tons of bags of sand in there.

[00:36:19] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, weird.

[00:36:20] Paul Scheer: Like all they’re doing is they’re throwing bags of sand overboard.

[00:36:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh my God.

[00:36:25] Jessica St. Clair: Now the other thing I wondered about Sinbad is really, he’s doing all of this up until he meets that girl the redhead.

[00:36:31] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:36:32] Jessica St. Clair: He’s doing all of this just so the prince can get his dick wet.

[00:36:36] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:36:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:36:36] Jessica St. Clair: What’s in it for Sinbad?

[00:36:38] Paul Scheer: Just adventure.

[00:36:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:36:39] Jessica St. Clair: Just adventure. I don’t think that’s enough to hang a story on.

[00:36:42] Paul Scheer: Really?

[00:36:43] Jessica St. Clair: I don’t.

[00:36:44] Jason Mantzoukas: And I think he’s on a quest to re re retrieve the things so that peace can be brought back to the city, I guess. Happiness, happy.

[00:36:51] Jessica St. Clair: Every so often that Prince who looks like an extra from Wham is like. Well, what about.

[00:36:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Do bands have extras? I don’t think, I’ll be honest.

[00:37:01] Paul Scheer: I gotta take a piss. Can you, you s Can you play this song for me? Yeah. Yeah. Get that extra in here.

[00:37:07] Jessica St. Clair: Guys. Who else’s mom was obsessed with George, Michael and Wham? My mom was so in love with.

[00:37:13] Paul Scheer: What’s the George Michael reverse of putting my hand down.

[00:37:15] Jason Mantzoukas: I love that you said that thinking everybody would agree.

[00:37:19] Jessica St. Clair: Right? He was, no, everybody loved him.

[00:37:21] Jason Mantzoukas: I love that.

[00:37:21] Paul Scheer: Let’s see, there was a couple hands up. Yeah. Were people, did people have moms obsessed with

[00:37:26] Jessica St. Clair: Were obsessed. Yeah. We all thought he was straight. Yes. We and just had like great eyes, great eyeliner.

[00:37:31] Paul Scheer: My mom liked Simply Red.

[00:37:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, whoa.

[00:37:35] Jessica St. Clair: Makes a lot of sense.

[00:37:36] Paul Scheer: Yeah, that.

[00:37:38] Jessica St. Clair: Makes a lot of sense.

[00:37:38] Paul Scheer: Simply Red.

[00:37:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Those curls.

[00:37:41] Jessica St. Clair: Makes a lot of sense.

[00:37:41] Jason Mantzoukas: How did you feel about in Excess?

[00:37:43] Paul Scheer: Oh, well, she, she took away my in excess cd.

[00:37:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa.

[00:37:48] Paul Scheer: Because it has a song called Suicide Blonde on it.

[00:37:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh.

[00:37:51] Paul Scheer: And she thought that if I listened to it, I was gonna commit suicide.

[00:37:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Because you were so blonde?

[00:37:56] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:37:58] Jason Mantzoukas: She’s like, you’re already blonde. You’re halfway there.

[00:38:02] Paul Scheer: My mom was like, I need to listen to this. So you don’t let, you don’t commit suicide.

[00:38:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Do you see it, clearly now, she was like, I’ll take this, please. Ah, you’re telling me this is a brunette version of Simply Red Man?

[00:38:16] Jessica St. Clair: It’s so thick for Mommy.

[00:38:18] Paul Scheer: Oh my gosh.

[00:38:19] Jason Mantzoukas: I, I, while i’m at it, I’ll take this Sound Garden cd.

[00:38:23] Paul Scheer: I did want, uh, Sinbad to Kiss Sinbad.

[00:38:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Ugh.

[00:38:28] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:38:29] Jason Mantzoukas: That was, it was so eerie because last night, again, we did a movie in Denver, uh, it starred the Barbarian Brothers.

[00:38:35] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:38:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Two Beefcake, uh, muscle Bound, bodybuilding, twins. Uh, and so that scene was so, yeah. I was like, I’m gonna have a panic attack on this tour if all I do is see. Doubled up beefcakes.

[00:38:50] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:38:50] Paul Scheer: So many pecks. So many ass.

[00:38:52] Jason Mantzoukas: There was also the beefcake who tries to trap him with the chain.

[00:38:56] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.

[00:38:57] Jason Mantzoukas: In the torture chamber.

[00:38:58] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:38:58] Jason Mantzoukas: That I was like, this is straight Toms of Finland here. This is, this is in the, and I, if you don’t know what that is, just go and check it out of the library!

[00:39:09] Jessica St. Clair: Now. That was a sensual moment. When was trying to break out of that screaming. Yeah, they’re screaming.

[00:39:15] Jason Mantzoukas: There’s a lot of, you must have liked it. ’cause there’s a lot of people being tied up. Kira is also tied up at one point.

[00:39:20] Jessica St. Clair: Love it. To see it.

[00:39:22] Jason Mantzoukas: And he has to rescue her. And I believe that’s maybe the green monster that’s after him. There’s also, seems to me to be quite a bit of random foam on this set. Like, like the baddies were having like a foam party or something.

[00:39:35] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:39:35] Jason Mantzoukas: And Sinbad showed up and was like, get ready.

[00:39:39] Jessica St. Clair: The other thing that’s interesting about the aisle of the dead is how do you know when a dead already dead person is really dead?

[00:39:47] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s a great question.

[00:39:49] Jessica St. Clair: Right? Because like at a certain point that’d be the last thing, crumble, but like he’s already dead. Isn’t that the thing about zombies? You can’t kill them.

[00:39:56] Jason Mantzoukas: What you would think is that well.

[00:39:58] Paul Scheer: You can.

[00:39:58] Jessica St. Clair: How? You eat their brains. They eat yours. Wait, do you, how do you kill a zombie?

[00:40:02] You bite ’em. What do you do to ’em?

[00:40:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, you think you kill a zombie.

[00:40:05] Paul Scheer: This is the ma. Just keep on going.

[00:40:07] Jason Mantzoukas: What do you think?

[00:40:08] Paul Scheer: You said so many things so quickly.

[00:40:10] Jason Mantzoukas: First of all, you said you think you kill a zombie by you biting it.

[00:40:15] Paul Scheer: And then you said you eat their brains.

[00:40:21] Jessica St. Clair: I really don’t know.

[00:40:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Honestly, i’d love to kill a zombie. Give, give us just a rudiment.

[00:40:25] Jessica St. Clair: Shoot it in the face.

[00:40:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Your rudimentary understanding of how zombies work, go.

[00:40:29] Jessica St. Clair: They, somebody bit them. They became a zombie. They wanna eat your brains. They bite you. You become a zombie. How do you kill that zombie though? Do what? Their brain. You destroy their brain?

[00:40:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:40:45] Jessica St. Clair: So I was right. You eat their brain.

[00:40:47] Paul Scheer: Well, that was the.

[00:40:48] Jason Mantzoukas: No, if you what?

[00:40:51] Jessica St. Clair: Wait, so what would happen? Zombie is biting you, but what happens if you bite a zombie?

[00:40:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Why is biting the only methodology at play? Why do you think that? If you have to destroy their brain, you must air go bite it.

[00:41:04] Paul Scheer: By the way, also.

[00:41:05] Jason Mantzoukas: What, why?

[00:41:06] Paul Scheer: But what I love about this is that Jess has seen any zombie movies, which now we know you haven’t. That would mean that the big final act would just be a, a bunch of people with spoons. Yeah.

[00:41:18] Jason Mantzoukas: It would, it would be so hard to get at their brain to get through their skulls.

[00:41:24] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. But here’s then, how do you do it? You blow their head off.

[00:41:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Chop their head up. Blow their head up.

[00:41:29] Jessica St. Clair: Easy. Why are these zombie movies so hard, then? Blow their head off.

[00:41:34] Jason Mantzoukas: I would love.

[00:41:35] Jessica St. Clair: And they move so slow.

[00:41:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Not all the time.

[00:41:38] Jessica St. Clair: Why?

[00:41:38] Jason Mantzoukas: And not sometimes they’re fast.

[00:41:40] Jessica St. Clair: Why?

[00:41:40] Paul Scheer: And Danny boyle invented the fast zombies.

[00:41:42] Jason Mantzoukas: There’s thousands and thousands and you’ll, oh, I’d love to see, I would.

[00:41:46] Jessica St. Clair: Whatever.

[00:41:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Would love to see you try and battle zombies.

[00:41:50] Jessica St. Clair: Fine. It seems pretty easy.

[00:41:51] Jason Mantzoukas: I might to write, I’m gonna write that movie.

[00:41:53] Jessica St. Clair: Fine. Do it.

[00:41:54] Paul Scheer: Just give me a cookbook and I will fight all the zombies you want.

[00:41:58] Jason Mantzoukas: I would love it. A, a movie in which you, a zombie apocalypse happens. You walk out and you, you think to yourself, I gotta start biting these brains.

[00:42:07] Jessica St. Clair: What happens if you bite a zombie? Are are always worried they’re gonna bite us. But what if you bit a zombie? Why? Why?

[00:42:14] Paul Scheer: About the blood

[00:42:16] Jason Mantzoukas: When they bite you and infect you?

[00:42:18] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:42:18] Jason Mantzoukas: When you bite them, you don’t think you’re getting the same junk?

[00:42:21] Jessica St. Clair: I don’t know. What is it that’s actually getting you their saliva?

[00:42:26] Paul Scheer: Wow. Wow, wow. So much. Let’s go out into the crowd.

[00:42:32] Jessica St. Clair: Please. For the love of God.

[00:42:54] Jessica St. Clair: She’s so cute.

[00:42:55] Audience Member: Please don’t call CPS.

[00:42:58] Uh, yeah, so she enjoys The Sleepover, everything that’s directed at her. You know, she’s like, why are they doing this? Twilight is good, but

[00:43:09] Jason Mantzoukas: So you’re saying she loves the movies, hates the podcast.

[00:43:12] Audience Member: Yeah.

[00:43:13] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:43:23] Audience Member: Uh, so my name’s Andy. Uh, so I was looking on Wikipedia about this and I’m just gonna pull it up to make sure I get it right.

[00:43:27] Paul Scheer: You got it.

[00:43:28] Audience Member: The original director, um, was replaced by, uh, Enzo G Cast.

[00:43:34] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:43:35] Audience Member: The original director was Luigi Kasi, who directed, uh, The Legend of Hercules.

[00:43:39] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:43:40] Audience Member: The 1983 one. And they said that, uh.

[00:43:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Sorry, did you just say 83?

[00:43:44] Audience Member: Uh, yeah. 83.

[00:43:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Great. Thank you. That, thank you.

[00:43:46] Paul Scheer: Yes. This is, I have this, uh, I have some more backup of this, so here we go. Yeah, go. Yeah.

[00:43:51] Audience Member: So they, they mentioned that, uh, Enzo shot three hours of unreleasable footage and given what we saw, how bad is that un releaseable footage?

[00:44:00] Paul Scheer: Well, I think I, I think I can clarify this in a second ’cause I can walk us through the thing. Alright, let’s see. Alright. Hi, how are you? What’s your name?

[00:44:06] Audience Member: Uh, I’m Scott.

[00:44:07] Paul Scheer: Okay. And what’s your question?

[00:44:08] Audience Member: Uh, so I saw this movie twice. Um, and so, uh, so both times when I saw the scene with Sukra and uh, Jafar, I thought this scene would be so much better with Jason and Jessica.

[00:44:20] Jessica St. Clair: Oh.

[00:44:21] Paul Scheer: Wow.

[00:44:21] Jessica St. Clair: Bless you.

[00:44:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Amazing.

[00:44:23] Audience Member: Jessica would look amazing in that outfit.

[00:44:24] Jessica St. Clair: Bless you.

[00:44:25] Audience Member: So my question is, Paul, you’re a handsome guy.

[00:44:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Great.

[00:44:29] Audience Member: Which part in this movie would you like to play?

[00:44:31] Paul Scheer: Well, it’s apparent the bald cook.

[00:44:35] Jessica St. Clair: You got more range, Paul. Don’t sell yourself short. You’ve got more range.

[00:44:40] Paul Scheer: Know if I see a good bald part, I’m gonna take it. Yeah, I’m gonna get that Good bald. That good bald money.

[00:44:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Get them bald bucks, baby.

[00:44:47] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, baby.

[00:44:48] Paul Scheer: I’m gonna come over to this guy over there too. All right. Who do I got too?

[00:44:51] Jessica St. Clair: Jafar’s got a question.

[00:44:52] Paul Scheer: All. Yeah. Alright.

[00:44:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Jafar and the doppelgangers.

[00:44:54] Paul Scheer: We gotta come to the All right.

[00:44:55] Jessica St. Clair: That’s a gorgeous.

[00:44:55] Paul Scheer: Let’s, all right, here we go. Hi, how are you?

[00:44:57] Audience Member: I, I’m doing well. How are you, Paul?

[00:44:59] Paul Scheer: Good.

[00:44:59] Audience Member: So I actually have a couple things. The first one is in my research, I found that in 2015 there was a documentary called Capitan Cozy, which is an Italian language, German made documentary about the making of Sinbad, of the Seven Seas and other cozy productions, which was released by Freak Orama Productions in 2015.

[00:45:19] I could not find it. I do not speak, speak Italian or German, so I feel like I couldn’t do much with it if I did.

[00:45:25] Jessica St. Clair: It’s nice to know it’s there.

[00:45:26] Audience Member: Yes.

[00:45:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Did anybody?

[00:45:27] Audience Member: What the fuck?

[00:45:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Was anybody successful in getting, finding this or watching this or anything? I’m curious. No. Okay. Got it.

[00:45:33] Audience Member: Okay.

[00:45:34] Jason Mantzoukas: You know, sometimes somebody has.

[00:45:36] Audience Member: And then my second thing is Jason, earlier when you asked if this is set in biblical times before Keira, Sinbad and Nadir get into the flying machine, Keira says. Nadir, the famous wizard. He is been a member of the Baghdad fraternity since 82.

[00:45:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:45:51] Jessica St. Clair: Okay. What is that?

[00:45:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:45:53] Jessica St. Clair: What is that?

[00:45:53] Audience Member: 82.. What is the Baghdad fraternity? What happening?

[00:45:56] Jason Mantzoukas: What’s a great question. 1982.

[00:45:57] Audience Member: That is all. Thank you.

[00:45:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Probably 1982. She also says that he’s making his famous couscous, which is finger licking good.

[00:46:06] Jessica St. Clair: Fish couscous.

[00:46:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Finger L. I’m like, whoa, whoa. Wait.

[00:46:09] Paul Scheer: And then I think at one point, uh.

[00:46:11] Jason Mantzoukas: I don’t think we can do finger licking good for something that’s not chicken.

[00:46:16] Paul Scheer: I thought at one point Lou Ferrigno said dynamite.

[00:46:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, he did say, gosh, you’re beautiful.

[00:46:22] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:46:22] Jason Mantzoukas: I was like, that’s so earnest. I mean like, come on, Sinbad’s so earnest. Do you think he’s a virgin? You think Sinbad’s a virgin?

[00:46:30] Paul Scheer: Yeah, of course.

[00:46:31] Jessica St. Clair: Boy, he keeps, keeps getting interrupted every time he is about to get some.

[00:46:33] Jason Mantzoukas: You don’t think he fucked a snake?

[00:46:37] Jessica St. Clair: Can you? Can’t you fuck a snake?

[00:46:39] Jason Mantzoukas: I don’t know.

[00:46:40] Jessica St. Clair: That’s a question.

[00:46:41] Paul Scheer: Alright, we are.

[00:46:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Let’s find out at the library!

[00:46:44] Paul Scheer: Alright, what do you got?

[00:46:45] Audience Member: Uh, it’s her birthday and this is

[00:46:47] Jessica St. Clair: Happy birthday.

[00:46:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Happy birthday.

[00:46:49] Paul Scheer: Oh my gosh. Happy birthday. Alright.

[00:46:51] Audience Member: Okay. Um, we’re hoping for some clarity on the seven moons. Oh, it says he has seven moons to find all the gems. Is that seven days or seven months? And both is way too long to stay on that plastic table for the princess.

[00:47:05] Jessica St. Clair: That’s true.

[00:47:06] Paul Scheer: Wow. I, I bought seven days, like four score like that. Like I was like, but seven moons wait would be.

[00:47:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, you went four score? Where are you going with four score?

[00:47:14] Paul Scheer: Well, like, I was like seven moons. I was like, oh, like, like I, I like in my mind I was like, oh, seven moons is like, like just a week.

[00:47:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:47:21] Paul Scheer: But I.

[00:47:21] Jessica St. Clair: You’re right. It’s a weird way to say it.

[00:47:23] Paul Scheer: Might be a month.

[00:47:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. I, I would also say that, but you know.

[00:47:28] Jessica St. Clair: And they seem like they were gone for quite some time. They really did.

[00:47:30] Jason Mantzoukas: When you’re traveling by boat, I mean it’s very, it’s moons. Takes a long.

[00:47:34] Paul Scheer: She’s been on a table for seven months. That’s it.

[00:47:36] Jason Mantzoukas: She would be so dead.

[00:47:38] Paul Scheer: Yeah. She is unwell.

[00:47:39] Jessica St. Clair: I think without any food or water.

[00:47:41] Jason Mantzoukas: I do think the movie wants you to think it’s seven days.

[00:47:44] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:47:44] Jason Mantzoukas: You know?

[00:47:45] Audience Member: So I, uh, at one point.

[00:47:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Who the fuck are you? No, I’m asking.

[00:47:48] Paul Scheer: Say your name. Say your name. Yeah. Introduce yourself.

[00:47:49] Audience Member: Oh, my name is Mark.

[00:47:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. Give it up for Mark, everybody.

[00:47:51] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, Mark.

[00:47:52] Jason Mantzoukas: I didn’t mean to scare you.

[00:47:53] Audience Member: Bald brothers.

[00:47:54] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Bald brother.

[00:47:55] Jason Mantzoukas: I didn’t mean to scare you, Mark.

[00:47:56] Audience Member: No. Um, at one point, gibberish talking dad, they’re like loading up on the, the balloon and he says something, uh, I only saw this movie once, so maybe you guys caught this, but he.

[00:48:07] Paul Scheer: We only watched it once.

[00:48:08] Jessica St. Clair: I barely watched it.

[00:48:09] Paul Scheer: Whatever you’re confused by.

[00:48:10] Audience Member: Basically he said, uh, he speaks as gibberish and then she translates for Sinbad. And it’s something to the effect of, we’re coming for you Jafar, and we will see to it your name is canceled from the list of accredited magicians.

[00:48:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:48:22] Audience Member: And it just seems to me like, isn’t that a really. Like, is being an accredited magician such a big deal?

[00:48:28] Jason Mantzoukas: What a weak threat.

[00:48:28] Audience Member: That would stop so far from doing whatever he’s doing.

[00:48:31] Jason Mantzoukas: What a weak threat. Absolutely. I wrote that down too. What a weak threat to be like. We’re gonna come and we’re gonna have your papers revoked.

[00:48:37] Paul Scheer: Wait, wait, but wait, wait. But I have an issue with this, which is, are magicians getting accredited?

[00:48:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:48:43] Paul Scheer: Like, I mean, I was just say, is this even something that they?

[00:48:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, sometimes on Free Ridge.

[00:48:47] Paul Scheer: We’re gonna take away your tenure. You won’t get good. You will be fired.

[00:48:51] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s basically we’re taking away your driver’s license.

[00:48:55] Paul Scheer: Alright, what do we got over here?

[00:48:56] Audience Member: Uh, yeah. Hi, my name is Richard.

[00:48:58] Jessica St. Clair: Hi, Richard.

[00:48:59] Audience Member: I have, I have two questions. So, number one, uh, do you think that Nadir was, uh, like, supposed to sound like he was speaking a different language, but they were kind of mocking or parodying? Like, uh, there’s a, an Italian singer named Adriano Sano, okay. Who has a song that is pure gibberish.

[00:49:19] Paul Scheer: You wanna play it first? At that hit that play.

[00:49:21] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s the, that’s the famous gibberish song, isn’t it?

[00:49:23] Audience Member: It is made to sound like English, but it sounds nothing like English or, but it has no English words.

[00:49:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, I think it has no actual words. I think it’s all pure made up words.

[00:49:34] Music: [Gibberish Song] [00:49:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Except that I feel like what Nadir is doing is like, you know, they’ve, they, I feel like they are making him look like Salvador Dali and then they are giving him like, like Italian, Italian gibberish nonsense sounding stuff.

[00:49:55] And, and, and the fact that they wouldn’t ever translate it. And, um, my, um, closed captioning referred to it as native dialogue.

[00:50:05] Jessica St. Clair: Mm. That’s problematic too.

[00:50:09] Jason Mantzoukas: And I was like, huh, huh huh. To where?

[00:50:12] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:50:12] Paul Scheer: I think they just needed comic relief.

[00:50:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Is this how they speak on the aisle of the dead?

[00:50:17] Paul Scheer: I think they needed comic relief and they just made it crazy. I’m going back to the side of the theater that is.

[00:50:22] Jessica St. Clair: Okay.

[00:50:23] Paul Scheer: Alright, the rogues gallery over here. Let’s see if we can pull us out. What’s your name? What do you got?

[00:50:26] Audience Member: Hello guys. My name’s Connor.

[00:50:28] Paul Scheer: Okay.

[00:50:28] Audience Member: And so with all this ADR, all this weird anachronistic dialogue. What stood out to you? I mean, Ong man got the, gosh, you sure are beautiful.

[00:50:37] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:50:37] Audience Member: The other one, um, uh, wrestler lady, uh, Glow. Hey, uh, Jafar says, go do your stuff.

[00:50:45] Jessica St. Clair: I’m gonna tell you if anyone, I just got those air pods, you know, max or whatever. And you do feel like you’re in a surround sound theater. And I have to tell you, the movie with those is a whole different experience. ’cause you’re hearing every Oh ow.

[00:50:59] Oh, ow. And like in like those death, the dead people that they’re fighting, the first ones the skeletons. Yeah. They’re like this. Ooh.

[00:51:10] Jason Mantzoukas: How, how did the Oracle sound with, with, with noise canceling headphones? The oracle was crazy too.

[00:51:15] Jessica St. Clair: You know, I don’t remember him as much. Um, but yeah, it’s a real, it’s a whole, you, you really, I think the voiceover artists are the heroes of this movie.

[00:51:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:51:23] Jessica St. Clair: Truly. The, the fight people.

[00:51:24] Paul Scheer: They really bring the heat.

[00:51:25] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:51:25] Paul Scheer: Yeah. Alright. What do you got?

[00:51:27] Audience Member: I just had a question. So what if when he fell down in the snake pit, what if he actually died and this was like.

[00:51:34] Jason Mantzoukas: A Jacob’s Ladder scenario? Yep. Get outta here.

[00:51:36] Paul Scheer: And then here we go.

[00:51:37] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m gonna have, I’m just gonna have security escort her out.

[00:51:42] Paul Scheer: Bring us home, I guess. Let’s see, what do you got?

[00:51:45] Audience Member: All right. Name’s Gavin. Uh, so, uh, we established that this movie was originally three hours long, and then it was cut down to an hour and a half.

[00:51:53] Jessica St. Clair: God bless.

[00:51:54] Audience Member: So to try and make it less confusing, they added the mom and the daughter

[00:52:00] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:52:00] Audience Member: To fill in the gaps.

[00:52:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, wow.

[00:52:02] Audience Member: Do we think when we’re cutting down movies as far as the Justice League, if we had established a mom and a daughter telling the story, could the JJ Abrams version been better than the Snyder cut?

[00:52:14] Paul Scheer: I, you know, look, this is a good Joss Whedon version. Uh.

[00:52:18] Jessica St. Clair: Wait, do we think that they added it after? Is that what did?

[00:52:22] Paul Scheer: I’m gonna tell, I actually know the whole, I know the whole thing.

[00:52:25] I gonna come. You gonna have a good one? What? I, I get I’ll tell you the whole thing and I’ll, I’ll make it all make sense. Okay. Alright. What do you got?

[00:52:31] Audience Member: Okay. Two questions about the love stories here. One, uh, Pucci and the Bald Chef. Right, right.

[00:52:39] Jason Mantzoukas: In love.

[00:52:39] Audience Member: Yeah, absolutely. Right.

[00:52:41] Jessica St. Clair: Absolutely. Absolutely.

[00:52:43] Audience Member: Two, Sinbad’s Love story. Did anybody involved in the production plan on that being part of the story at the beginning, because that came out of absolutely fucking nowhere and all of a sudden Sinbad’s getting in, getting married at the end.

[00:52:56] Jason Mantzoukas: That I’ve, I, I will say it did seem to me that they rushed into that.

[00:53:02] Jessica St. Clair: That was like a Love is Blind type of scenario. They had just met.

[00:53:05] Jason Mantzoukas: I, I, I was very glad that they, that they found each other, I believe in Sinbad and Kira, but like, to, to get married that quickly is putting a lot of pressure on them.

[00:53:13] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Especially with, have they discussed it. Sinbad’s always on the road.

[00:53:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Right. Yes. Always the road.

[00:53:17] Jessica St. Clair: Is she gonna travel with him?

[00:53:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:53:19] Jessica St. Clair: You know what I mean?

[00:53:19] Jason Mantzoukas: What is this? The Odyssey?

[00:53:20] Paul Scheer: It felt very much like the end of Speed. It’s like that relationship’s not gonna work out. Um, oh wait, we’ve switched off hands.

[00:53:27] Jason Mantzoukas: What is going on?

[00:53:28] Audience Member: So my name’s Ben.

[00:53:29] Jessica St. Clair: Great.

[00:53:29] Audience Member: My question was, at the end, in the great battle where they’re fighting through the palace, we have this moment where Sinbad tells the bald cook and Nadir, you guys deal with the monster. And then they have a little bit of where they’re like, yeah, we gotta deal with the army. And then Nadir says it’s gibberish, and Oh yeah, we gotta deal with the, the soldiers. Oh no, we gotta deal with the monster. Did I like have a dissociative break or something or did we never see the monster?

[00:53:59] Jessica St. Clair: No. What is the monster?

[00:54:00] Paul Scheer: No, we never, this is what I’m saying. We don’t see, we don’t see Sukra disappears after she literally says she does. I can’t wait to fight them.

[00:54:08] Jessica St. Clair: Justice for Sukra.

[00:54:09] Paul Scheer: And, and Jafar is like, Jafar is like, oh, you like a battle. And then we don’t ever see it. Okay.

[00:54:14] Audience Member: Double justice for Sukra because for some reason after her first scene they put her in a weird hat. I loved her hair.

[00:54:20] Jessica St. Clair: I loved her hair.

[00:54:21] Paul Scheer: 1989.

[00:54:22] Jessica St. Clair: I wanted in New Jersey in the eighties.

[00:54:23] Jason Mantzoukas: My question was, my question was, did her hair change or is that a different actor?

[00:54:28] Jessica St. Clair: What?

[00:54:29] Jason Mantzoukas: There were times where I was like, is that the same actor? Are they doing, I like, what’s the, ’cause they were almost obfuscating for periods of times. I didn’t know.

[00:54:36] Paul Scheer: I now think the t-shirt should be a 1989 presidential campaign with Sukra and Poochie and

[00:54:43] Jessica St. Clair: Oh, that’s so great. Sukra, Poochie 89.

[00:54:46] Jason Mantzoukas: They’re part of like the, uh, a and it’s what’s the town’s name?

[00:54:49] Paul Scheer: By Land and by Sea. Land and by sea. Something about America. Alright.

[00:54:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, something about America?

[00:54:56] Paul Scheer: Yeah. ’cause they’re running for president.

[00:54:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh. Oh no. I think they should be running for President of Bozra.

[00:55:02] Paul Scheer: Oh, Bozra. Yeah.

[00:55:02] Jessica St. Clair: Make Bozra great again.

[00:55:07] Boo Maba.

[00:55:08] Paul Scheer: The Mabas.

[00:55:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Maba.

[00:55:10] Paul Scheer: Maba Maba. All right. What do I, I, I again?

[00:55:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh boo. Oh boo.

[00:55:15] Paul Scheer: By the way, thank you everybody for asking questions. Y all did a great job. Job. Y’all did a great job. You did a great job.

[00:55:21] Jessica St. Clair: I loved it.

[00:55:22] Jason Mantzoukas: You guys are great.

[00:55:24] Paul Scheer: Um, okay, so Screenwriter Luigi Cozy was originally set to direct this film in 3D

[00:55:32] Jessica St. Clair: Whoa.

[00:55:33] Paul Scheer: 1983.

[00:55:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Which would’ve been awesome when Luke Ferrigno is like, I’m coming for you, Jafar.

[00:55:38] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:55:38] Paul Scheer: But what had happened is before they started production, he was fired and they replaced him with Enzo G Casteller at the last minute. Who changed Cozy script drastically. Mm. Okay. So then Castelli goes millions of dollars over budget and submits three hours of unusable footage.

[00:56:02] And they’re like, well, we can’t release this. Right? So then. After a couple years, like three or four years later, they go, maybe we just bring back that original director and see if he do something with this. So they bring back Cozy who never shot a frame, but they said, can you edit?

[00:56:20] Jessica St. Clair: Piece this together?

[00:56:20] Paul Scheer: Edit, yeah. And he goes, well, maybe. Give me $500,000 and I’ll shoot some extra scenes, which was the mother and daughter scene and some other connective tissue.

[00:56:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:56:33] Paul Scheer: To make it make sense.

[00:56:35] Jessica St. Clair: Wow.

[00:56:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. In 19, a lot. In 1980s, half a million dollars to shoot that bedroom scene.

[00:56:40] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:56:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Like check that guy’s pockets.

[00:56:43] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, for sure. I, I think he’s Italian, you know what I mean.

[00:56:45] Jason Mantzoukas: What do you mean? What do you mean about that? What do you mean about Italians?

[00:56:49] Jessica St. Clair: Mafia, baby.

[00:56:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Mafia. Okay.

[00:56:50] Paul Scheer: And I also think they added music and lasers. So the other thing that he added in, oh, was he actually found old stock footage of a movie called Leader of the Moonmen.

[00:57:02] Jessica St. Clair: This is weird.

[00:57:04] Paul Scheer: Yes. So he, he actually, sorry. He actually found stock footage from Hercules against the Moonmen from 1964 and used the bad guy of that, the leader of the Moonmen for one of the villains in this movie. I believe that was the Oracle who told them to go to different places. So then they used light effects and voiceover to change it enough. And then

[00:57:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Christ.

[00:57:26] Jessica St. Clair: This is wild.

[00:57:27] Jason Mantzoukas: What a lot of effort to go. Like, why not just build some like, like puppets?

[00:57:32] Paul Scheer: Yeah. No, and, and then finally Lou Ferrigno has said this is his favorite film that he’s ever made.

[00:57:39] Jessica St. Clair: God bless him. God bless him.

[00:57:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, I mean, he probably was like living in Italy for months at a time. I bet this was a blast.

[00:57:47] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, definitely was. He’s so happy.

[00:57:49] Paul Scheer: To put some context on it. He’s family. The reason why they shelved this movie and then kind of pulled it back out. It was, ’cause they need, Canon films needed to make money because they had just made Masters of the Universe and Superman four. And those are such big flops.

[00:58:05] They’re like, we gotta put something like, just throw more shit out there. ’cause maybe a dollar will come back. So that’s, that’s the story of this movie.

[00:58:14] Jessica St. Clair: What a backstory.

[00:58:15] Paul Scheer: Yeah, it’s an intense backstory there. And uh, and this, uh, and the original director, the guy who directed the unusable footage, Enzo Caster, uh, did also make the film the Inglorious Bastards, which Quentin Tarantino gave him a small cameo in and a special thanks because, uh, Quentin Tarantino had to buy the rights to his film so they could have the same title.

[00:58:41] Jessica St. Clair: Wow.

[00:58:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Incredible.

[00:58:42] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:58:42] Jessica St. Clair: Wow. Wow.

[00:58:43] Paul Scheer: So that is all the stuff there. That is a very big.

[00:58:46] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s great.

[00:58:46] Paul Scheer: Yeah, that is a lot. Um, wow.

[00:58:48] Jessica St. Clair: Well, with all it went through knowing that, knowing the journey it took, the, the many seas that it traveled to get to be this film,

[00:58:56] Jason Mantzoukas: Seven of ’em.

[00:58:57] Jessica St. Clair: I’m really proud of it. I think they, they really.

[00:58:59] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re proud of it?

[00:58:59] Jessica St. Clair: They, they strung something together.

[00:59:01] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re proud of it?

[00:59:02] Jessica St. Clair: You know, it’s like when you’re on your way to school and like you’re fucking planet, you know, your planet project falls apart and you’re like, shit, I gotta get this back together. And you get something that looks a little bit like the solar system.

[00:59:14] You know?

[00:59:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Why do I feel like that’s an episode of the Brady Bunch? That’s not your real life. That’s an episode of the Literal Brady Bunch. Here’s the thing that I found interesting, which was the line that, that Jafar couldn’t quite sell to me. The only line, ’cause I thought it was incredible, was in the name of all that is evil, budge. Budge. I was like, is he saying budge? Budge? What a strange word to try and exclaim. Budge.

[00:59:45] Jessica St. Clair: Here’s another great line of his. I can trust no one, let alone a woman.

[00:59:51] Paul Scheer: Here is my favorite line.

[00:59:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Now, now, now I’m getting it. Now I’m on Jafar side.

[00:59:56] Paul Scheer: My favorite line of Jafar was when he was hiding and going, don’t come any closer. No. Like they’re playing. Like.

[01:00:04] Jessica St. Clair: That’s a really good Jafar impression.

[01:00:06] Paul Scheer: Oh, thank you. Not as good as our person dressed as Jafar. Now, uh, let’s see. Uh, there have never been a more scary moment in my life than to say this.

[01:00:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh boy. Do we have to? Skip it.

[01:00:23] Jessica St. Clair: Skip it.

[01:00:24] Jason Mantzoukas: She gets it.

[01:00:25] Jessica St. Clair: She gets it already.

[01:00:26] Paul Scheer: Obviously we’ve had opinions about this movie, but there are people out there with a second opinion. It is now time. God help us. Four second opinions.

[01:00:38] Audience Member: Alright, my name is John.

[01:00:42] Jessica St. Clair: Okay.

[01:00:44] Audience Member: I’ve got another impression to make on this movie. Ferrignos flexing in his pecs all day with his pal Poochie The horniest doesnt show any boob.

[01:01:03] I gotta give it five stars. Five star. Five star. Five star review. Hot Amazon. And five star. Five star. Five star. Five star review.

[01:01:17] Paul Scheer: Amazing.

[01:01:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[01:01:20] Paul Scheer: Boise. Boise. You brought the heat, you redeemed yourself.

[01:01:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Great job to all the Katies, all the Gabbys. Everybody did great.

[01:01:32] Paul Scheer: This is what we get. It’s a music festival, not an ask question festival. So.

[01:01:40] Jason Mantzoukas: But we will be back for your springtime ask question festival.

[01:01:43] Paul Scheer: So much fun, so many different question tents. Um, alright, so the average prime rating of this is 4.3 out of five stars. A hundred.

[01:01:55] Jason Mantzoukas: And when you say prime rating, you don’t mean the Logan Paul drink, right?

[01:02:00] Paul Scheer: I mean, now that I, I, yeah. ’cause I’m always like the prime is the best drink of all time.

[01:02:04] Yes. So I’m only like.

[01:02:05] Jason Mantzoukas: So now everything is out of five primes, right?

[01:02:07] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:02:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[01:02:09] Paul Scheer: Um, 117 reviews, 64% are five star, only 4% are one star. And I will say this, the second opinions tonight will sound like the questions from the audience. Um, Franzy W writes,

[01:02:23] “In 2006. That’s a really, really good movie. Buy this DVD and you will not repent it. Five stars.”

[01:02:37] Jason Mantzoukas: You won’t repent it?

[01:02:38] Paul Scheer: You won’t repent it.

[01:02:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[01:02:40] Paul Scheer: Axia wrote in 2020,

[01:02:44] “Jafar, I’m coming for you and you know it. Including colon skilled pillow talk, take notes, featuring colon. I always wear my purple pants to town and a hot air balloon.”

[01:03:02] The title of this, “I’ve watched hundreds of films, five stars.”

[01:03:08] Jessica St. Clair: Weird.

[01:03:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Like, I feel like that person wrote that while having a stroke.

[01:03:13] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[01:03:14] Jessica St. Clair: That’s the last thing they said.

[01:03:17] Paul Scheer: This one is Lou, uh, this one is from R Deal.

[01:03:22] ” Lou Ferrigno acted as heart out as Sinbad.”

[01:03:24] Jessica St. Clair: Truth.

[01:03:25] Paul Scheer: “Representing not one. Nor two, but all seven seas in this feel good movie of the decade. Sinbad makes me love being a man.”

[01:03:37] Jason Mantzoukas: What?

[01:03:38] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[01:03:39] Jason Mantzoukas: What?

[01:03:40] Jessica St. Clair: Yes. I get it. I get it.

[01:03:43] Paul Scheer: “I don’t wanna give away too much, but yes, there is some Sinbad on Sinbad action.”

[01:03:50] Jessica St. Clair: Ooh, mommy.

[01:03:52] Paul Scheer: “And the princess is so hot. Preteen boys could so watch this at sleepovers after the parents fall asleep.”

[01:04:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. This is, this is a wow. This is creep city.

[01:04:07] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, big time.

[01:04:08] Paul Scheer: Continues by saying,

[01:04:09] “And Sinbad is hot too. Everybody’s happy. Gotta go dot dot dot outside.”

[01:04:17] Jason Mantzoukas: What?

[01:04:18] Jessica St. Clair: What?

[01:04:19] Paul Scheer: Five stars.

[01:04:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[01:04:20] Jessica St. Clair: My God.

[01:04:21] Jason Mantzoukas: What does outside mean?

[01:04:23] Jessica St. Clair: Why is he outside?

[01:04:24] Paul Scheer: Cool down?

[01:04:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Outside?

[01:04:25] Jessica St. Clair: Is he here now? Where is he?

[01:04:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Gotta go dot dot means I turned myself on so much writing this review.

[01:04:31] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:04:32] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ve gotta go jerk off.

[01:04:33] Jessica St. Clair: But outside?

[01:04:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, I mean, that is what a creep would do.

[01:04:38] Jessica St. Clair: It’s true.

[01:04:39] Paul Scheer: Now, this is a first in second opinions. There is no review. This is only the title. I’ve never seen this before.

[01:04:54] “My name is Tim Bergman. When you sold me Sinbad, it was in Spanish. I am not Spanish. I am English Tim. Five stars.”

[01:05:08] Jessica St. Clair: That’s a haiku.

[01:05:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait a second. I’m looking over there and it says I’m from Boise. I am weird.

[01:05:16] Paul Scheer: Oh my God.

[01:05:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Interesting. Maybe.

[01:05:19] Paul Scheer: I am English Tim.

[01:05:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Maybe using a computer at the library! To post that review.

[01:05:26] Paul Scheer: Holy cow. This movie. What a treat.

[01:05:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[01:05:29] Paul Scheer: Um, it does.

[01:05:30] Jason Mantzoukas: You got a good one.

[01:05:33] Paul Scheer: You got something. You got one for the record books. Uh, would you recommend this movie, Jason?

[01:05:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Fuck yeah, man. Fuck. Yeah. Like I said, it’s like not even an hour and a half. It’s dumb as hell, but like very watchable.

[01:05:45] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:05:46] Jason Mantzoukas: In, in, in ways that are truly confounding.

[01:05:49] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:05:49] Paul Scheer: I will say that they were.

[01:05:50] Jason Mantzoukas: It doesn’t answer any of the questions I had, which kept me interested.

[01:05:54] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:05:55] Jason Mantzoukas: The movie is playing hard to get.

[01:05:59] Paul Scheer: Jess?

[01:06:01] Jessica St. Clair: Absolutely. You know what I’d like to do is have like a Sunday gathering and just put this on in the background. You know, there’s no threat of zombies in it. There’s no threat of anything. You have a smile on your face.

[01:06:12] Paul Scheer: Well, there’s kind of zombies in it.

[01:06:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, there’s definitely the undead.

[01:06:15] Jessica St. Clair: But they’re not scary. They’re fun.

[01:06:17] Paul Scheer: The slime monster, the rock monster. By the way, this man never uses his sword. He always takes it out and then immediately throws it away.

[01:06:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Throws away. He throws it away, or it breaks on the first thing. The other thing that is constantly happening throughout all the battle sequences is they’re just dropping in the sounds of clattering swords.

[01:06:35] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:06:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Even when no swords have hit.

[01:06:37] Jessica St. Clair: Are clattering. I know.

[01:06:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Like, it’ll be like cl, somebody will punch someone, it’ll be like, clang, clang, and it’s like, whoa, whoa. That’s, that’s not what just happened.

[01:06:45] Paul Scheer: So, go ahead. You wanna play it in the background?

[01:06:47] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. The other thing and the, and the other thing would be fun is to do like a costume party where everyone comes dressed as a character.

[01:06:53] Paul Scheer: Ooh, I like this.

[01:06:53] Jessica St. Clair: You know, that would be fun. I also feel like I, if you told me that the costume designer was given $50 and said to go to, to Party City and just see what they could find, and they built a story around that, I would believe it.

[01:07:08] Paul Scheer: The best set is the set in like a Jafar, like little, the studio. Studio.

[01:07:13] Jason Mantzoukas: The studio, yeah, studio. The, where the princess is captive in the machine.

[01:07:16] Paul Scheer: Which makes me think that the director came back on board and might have shot those scenes as well.

[01:07:22] Jessica St. Clair: And, and, and it was available.

[01:07:23] Paul Scheer: Right.

[01:07:24] Jessica St. Clair: Somebody else had a, it was like Buck Rogers had like an a side swing set. That was another one. Boy. Oh boy. Did I wanna get it. That’s right. Yeah. B. Yeah, baby.

[01:07:37] Paul Scheer: Clearly that set was not meant to be fully like shot around like, because he’s walking around the lava pit and it’s like, well, I guess the lava pit’s only a small circle in this room. Like, it’s like.

[01:07:48] Jason Mantzoukas: I didn’t know until the end of the movie they were in an active volcano.

[01:07:51] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:07:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Had no idea. Cool.

[01:07:53] Jessica St. Clair: They were? What?

[01:07:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[01:07:55] Paul Scheer: Yeah. He throws them into molten lava at the end.

[01:07:58] Jason Mantzoukas: You don’t just have lava around without a volcano. Do you? Can you, wait? Real talk? Wait, can you have?

[01:08:05] Jessica St. Clair: Wait, were they in a volcano? Do you ever get an established shot of that?

[01:08:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Can you have a bunch of like lava and magma and no volcano?

[01:08:12] Paul Scheer: No. I mean, I guess you go deep, deep, deep under ground.

[01:08:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes, yes, yes, of course. Of course. Okay.

[01:08:17] Paul Scheer: Well, again, a one one plot hole.

[01:08:20] Jason Mantzoukas: What Maybe, yeah. What maybe supports this theory. I. Uh, uh, that these are reshoots Is that Sukra maybe never fights Lu Ferrigno because they never worked on the movie together.

[01:08:32] Paul Scheer: Right.

[01:08:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Like they, that like, like she and Jaffar shot all that stuff later.

[01:08:37] Paul Scheer: Right. Because that’s the only scenes that are not ADR too, which makes me think he had enough money. He’s like half a million dollars. I’ll record audio on the day. Yeah. And, and I’ll give you a great mother daughter start.

[01:08:49] Jessica St. Clair: And by then Sukra like has three kids and is living in Boise. She’s like giving up acting. She’s like, fuck this noise. Let me go live a quieter life.

[01:08:58] Paul Scheer: I will say it is kind of progressive to have it be a mother daughter telling this story, like in a way, right? I mean.

[01:09:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Sure.

[01:09:05] Paul Scheer: No?

[01:09:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Sure.

[01:09:06] Jessica St. Clair: Everything’s wrong with I, if you told me that that woman abducted that child and that they are on the run.

[01:09:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Boy, wouldn’t that be interesting? Like if the blue curtain fell away and they are in like a post-apocalyptic.

[01:09:21] Jessica St. Clair: Yes. And there are zombies outside.

[01:09:23] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s station 11.

[01:09:24] Jessica St. Clair: And she’s like, go to sleep. Go sleep. Sleep. Go to sleep.

[01:09:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Mommy. Does Sinbad save them?

[01:09:29] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[01:09:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Will Sinbad save me?

[01:09:31] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:09:32] Paul Scheer: We hope. We hope he does. Uh, I loved it. I just thought that once we got to the island of the dead, I was like. Wow. We’re still.

[01:09:40] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s very repetitive. It’s very repetitive

[01:09:42] Jessica St. Clair: You can’t fight two separate dead armies.

[01:09:44] Paul Scheer: You also can’t just fight slow. Like you can’t fight slow. They get slower as the movie goes on. That’s not fun.

[01:09:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, and there’s a lot of just like, even the, even even the hand to hand is just like, ugh.

[01:09:57] Yeah, it’s not, there’s no fight choreography. There’s nothing really going on.

[01:10:01] Paul Scheer: No.

[01:10:01] Jessica St. Clair: They might not have had the budget for it.

[01:10:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Certainly not.

[01:10:04] Jessica St. Clair: You know.

[01:10:04] Paul Scheer: But what a great film.

[01:10:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

You can go get that shirt of Sukra and Poochie under the banner of library and our merch store at our, How Did This Get Made website. You can get as a sticker, a coffee mug, whatever you want.

[01:12:38] I love this design. Uh, it really was a banger. Um, I wanted to talk about something a little bit serious right now. Um, you know that we’ve been doing this show for a very long time. The movies that we pick on this show have been, uh, credited to one person. Uh, her name is Avaryll Halley, and she has been the rock, the, the hidden feature of How Did This Get Made.

[01:13:01] Um, she has been with us for over a decade and she is fighting brain cancer right now and, we would love it and she would love it if you could send some words of support, fan art, anything to lift up her spirits. We have sent videos and songs, uh, people have just written her emails. It really makes a giant difference and she’s not asking for anything more than just a couple minutes of your time to send her some good wishes.

[01:13:30] You can send those good wishes to Andrew@moviebitches.xyz. Or you can actually send something in the mail to Avaryll at, um, PO Box 6 4 1, Agora Hills, California 9 1 3 7 6 dash 0 6 4 1.
