"Animal House" (1978) vs "Revenge of the Nerds" (1984): Part 2

<v Speaker 1>Frankly, I'm not too wild about this next event, but
<v Speaker 1>it has become a tradition here at Adams, the Belching Contest.
<v Speaker 2>This is Mike Carmen and April Harmont. You're listening to
<v Speaker 2>another Shirley you Can't Be Serious podcast with my buddy
<v Speaker 2>Jason Colvin and de Graves. Jason, what is the worst
<v Speaker 2>episode of the Shirley you Can't Be Serious Podcast?
<v Speaker 3>Well, that would be hard to say, sir. They're each
<v Speaker 3>outstanding in their way.
<v Speaker 2>Cut the horse hit Son. I've got the analytical files
<v Speaker 2>right here. We had an episode that dropped a whole
<v Speaker 2>truckload of phizzies in the varsity swim mate, an episode
<v Speaker 2>that medical school cadavers went to the alumni dinner. Every
<v Speaker 2>dad gum hallow, and this thing pops up and the
<v Speaker 2>trees are filled with underwear, and every spring the toilets explode.
<v Speaker 3>You're talking about the best Super Bowl commercials of twenty
<v Speaker 3>twenty one, so for.
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I'm talking about the best Super Bowl commercials
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty one to TWERP. Hello everybody, and welcome
<v Speaker 2>back to the Shurely you Can't Be Serious Podcast, where
<v Speaker 2>even we get one wrong from time to time.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, you know you can't hit home runs all the time.
<v Speaker 2>We are back with a second part to our comparison
<v Speaker 2>of National Lampoon, Animal House versus Revenge of the Nerd.
<v Speaker 4>Nerds.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is gonna be fun. I enjoy both of
<v Speaker 3>these movies. They're funny, they're classics.
<v Speaker 2>I love it that our guys are Shirley fans who
<v Speaker 2>we communicate with on Patreon and texting and all sorts
<v Speaker 2>of things. As soon as this episode we're over, like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>you guys miss this, and you forgot about that, and
<v Speaker 2>there are some some things that you and guys, it's
<v Speaker 2>a two part episode. We gotta leave some gas in
<v Speaker 2>the tank to get home. Okay, right, good gracious So
<v Speaker 2>two Patreon member deaf Dave, David Wright and Chris Webber
<v Speaker 2>both pointed out that Bruce McGill the d Day from
<v Speaker 2>Animal House was the sheriff in my cousin Vinnie, My
<v Speaker 2>cousin Vinny. Great movie.
<v Speaker 3>We haven't covered that one yet.
<v Speaker 2>I shot the clerk. I shot the clerk. I shot
<v Speaker 2>the clerk, is what he said.
<v Speaker 3>That's it.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Bruce McGill.
<v Speaker 2>Bruce McGill, Yes, thank you, guys. We didn't know that
<v Speaker 2>and then def Dave also pointed out that Bernie Casey,
<v Speaker 2>in addition into being in spies like Us and Bill
<v Speaker 2>and Ted's excellent adventure, was in I'm Going to Get
<v Speaker 2>You Sucker, and def Dad pointed out that John Vernon
<v Speaker 2>Dean Vernon Warmer also when I'm Going to Get You Sucker.
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen that movie, so I did not know that.
<v Speaker 4>Wow, you haven't seen it. I'm gonna get you Sucker.
<v Speaker 2>You've seen you've seen it? Sure?
<v Speaker 3>How much for one rib that's from that movie?
<v Speaker 5>So? Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right.
<v Speaker 3>Chris Rock early early Chris Rock.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, okay, if I may nerd out here for
<v Speaker 2>just a second, please. There is an elementary particle that
<v Speaker 2>is atum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such
<v Speaker 2>as light and radio waves, and is the force carrier
<v Speaker 2>for the electromagnetic force. And the idea of this particle
<v Speaker 2>was postulated by mattch Planck, who then that theory was
<v Speaker 2>expounded upon by Albert Einstein, and then ultimately this particle
<v Speaker 2>was given a name, and the name was a photon,
<v Speaker 2>and the guy who gave it that name was a
<v Speaker 2>physicist named Gilbert Lewis, which is where we get the
<v Speaker 2>names for our two nerds in Revenge of Thing?
<v Speaker 4>Are you kidding me?
<v Speaker 2>There you go?
<v Speaker 3>That is a great story, man. I liked your nerd voice.
<v Speaker 2>To thank you, okay. And last week, you know, throwing
<v Speaker 2>some credit to another Patreon member, James Buckley counselor the
<v Speaker 2>vyou Bears, Yeah, exactly, the Cajun counselor when we discussed
<v Speaker 2>the plethora of crimes which are committed within Revenge of
<v Speaker 2>the Nerds, not mentioning any from Animal House, which is
<v Speaker 2>also copious. But so, there's a rather infamous scene in
<v Speaker 2>Revenge of the Nerds where our hero, hero of the movie, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>hero of the movie, if you will, dons the mask
<v Speaker 2>of the villain of the movie in order to gain
<v Speaker 2>carnal knowledge of the villain's girlfriend, who has been a
<v Speaker 2>total bee to him the whole time. Right, but Betty
<v Speaker 2>Child's Betty Child's and they go to the fun house
<v Speaker 2>and he says he wants to leave the mask on,
<v Speaker 2>and it's kind of they try to tame it a
<v Speaker 2>little bit by being like, this wonderful experience for her
<v Speaker 2>and it causes her change over and all of this
<v Speaker 2>other stuff. Right, But what we have is a case
<v Speaker 2>of rape by deception.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I emailed James, I think you, I think
<v Speaker 3>you and I both contacted him separately, independent of each other,
<v Speaker 3>and I said, what is is the legality of that?
<v Speaker 1>Right?
<v Speaker 3>Because he didn't force her, but he deceived her.
<v Speaker 2>Right, and so what is you know, what is he.
<v Speaker 4>Really guilty of?
<v Speaker 3>He sent me this case and it blew my doors off.
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah, the case is called Borow versus Superior Court.
<v Speaker 2>Here's the facts of this case. Okay, Yeah, there was
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Borrow who was the defendant who was charged with rape.
<v Speaker 2>But the circumstances were that his quote unquote victim had
<v Speaker 2>been fooled by him. He called her and posed as
<v Speaker 2>a doctor, told her that she had a significant disease,
<v Speaker 2>and he called himself doctor Stevens. So that's a little
<v Speaker 2>bit iffy, but she didn't know any other doctor Stephens.
<v Speaker 2>So that's what that's an important factor in this, okay.
<v Speaker 2>And so as doctor Stevens, he says, you have this
<v Speaker 2>rare condition and the only way to cure it is
<v Speaker 2>a rather long and expensive and painful surgery, or you
<v Speaker 2>can have sex with someone who has the antibodies for
<v Speaker 2>this disease. Yes, and that will cure you as well.
<v Speaker 2>And as it turns out, I am somebody who has
<v Speaker 2>the antibodies for this disease. Just so happens, just coincidence.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, plus, look at this.
<v Speaker 3>Plus he coerced her to pay him a thousand bucks
<v Speaker 3>for the pleasure of banging her brains out.
<v Speaker 2>So this victim agrees to meet with him at a
<v Speaker 2>hotel room. They do the deed, and then later on
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure she's, hey, wait, he vaccinates her, he injects her,
<v Speaker 2>he inoculates her. Yes, they do the deed, and then
<v Speaker 2>I guess later on she's telling somebody about this, and
<v Speaker 2>they're like, you gotta be kidding to really fall for this,
<v Speaker 2>And so they try to pursue charges against this guy.
<v Speaker 2>But what the court said is that fraud and the
<v Speaker 2>inducement of sexual intercourse does not vitiate consent. And what
<v Speaker 2>that means is just because I lied to you to
<v Speaker 2>get you in bed, doesn't mean that your consent to
<v Speaker 2>sex is not real consent, and so it's not rape.
<v Speaker 4>That is so shocking to me.
<v Speaker 2>It is a bit weird. But if you think how
<v Speaker 2>many girls that you probably fledged the truth on a
<v Speaker 2>little bit as you were trying to learn how to
<v Speaker 2>unclasp their bra strap. Then you would see how any
<v Speaker 2>any way that this becomes a crime puts people in
<v Speaker 2>a lot of danger of going to jail. Specifically, I'm
<v Speaker 2>thinking of the scene in Animal House when he goes
<v Speaker 2>posing as Fitz. Yes, when he goes posing as fond
<v Speaker 2>Lebowitz is, well, they were engaged to be engaged and
<v Speaker 2>engaged to be engaged, you know, because he absolutely lies
<v Speaker 2>to get her roommate into bed and it works. But
<v Speaker 2>it's the same thing. Just because you're lying to get
<v Speaker 2>sex doesn't make it rape.
<v Speaker 3>All right, Let's talk about some other scenes from the movie. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>you know we talked about Doug Kenny. Doug Kenny is
<v Speaker 3>the guy who started National Lampoon magazine, or it was
<v Speaker 3>Harvard Lampoon then became National Lampoon. He has a couple
<v Speaker 3>of lines in Animal House.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's one of the frat guys, just to kind
<v Speaker 2>of in the background, very nerdy looking frat guy at.
<v Speaker 3>That his haircut is so weird in this movie.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's got the big glasses. But everybody, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>his line is one of the most famous lines for
<v Speaker 2>the movie.
<v Speaker 3>What the hell was supposed to do you moron.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's Doug Kenny. God rest his soul. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>And then you know we've talked before, he fell tragically
<v Speaker 3>to his death. Now whether or not that was suicide
<v Speaker 3>or not.
<v Speaker 2>But it was. It was Harold Ramis. I believe that
<v Speaker 2>said Doug fell while looking for a place to jump off.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's right.
<v Speaker 3>He also takes over the band at the end of
<v Speaker 3>the movie. You know they have that marching band when
<v Speaker 3>all the chaos is about to break out and the
<v Speaker 3>guy tosses his baton in the air and mid toss,
<v Speaker 3>Doug Kenny shoves him out of the way, catch the
<v Speaker 3>baton and leads the band.
<v Speaker 2>Nice.
<v Speaker 4>So there you go.
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about the fun Lebowitz scene. Okay, it's super funny,
<v Speaker 3>but again, it kind of relates to when Lewis impersonates Stan.
<v Speaker 3>So you have Otter that goes to the Emily Dickinson College,
<v Speaker 3>the all girls' school, right, and they know that this
<v Speaker 3>girl has passed away.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're looking at the newspaper article as they're driving
<v Speaker 2>to the Emily Dickens what's.
<v Speaker 3>This girl's name again? Von Lebowitz, Yeah, and he's like,
<v Speaker 3>I'll be right back, and so he goes inside and
<v Speaker 3>he says, Hi, I'm here to pick up vun Leebowitz.
<v Speaker 3>I'm her fiance, and of course everybody's like what. And
<v Speaker 3>so they called down her roommate and I don't know
<v Speaker 3>this girl's name, but boy, she is stunning.
<v Speaker 4>And she comes down and.
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I am so sorry to tell you this,
<v Speaker 3>but Fawn passed away tragically. And she hands him a
<v Speaker 3>newspaper and it's like sophomore killed in Kilne explosion. And
<v Speaker 3>he's like, she was making me a pot and she's
<v Speaker 3>trying to comfort him. Of course, Otter is working her
<v Speaker 3>the whole way, and he's like, I just don't think
<v Speaker 3>I should be alone to see evening, and so she
<v Speaker 3>agrees to go out with him, and he says, oh,
<v Speaker 3>by the way, grab three dates for my friends. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>And that's when they go to the Otis Day concert
<v Speaker 3>right where they're the only white people in the entire
<v Speaker 3>place and there's a record scratch and that whole thing.
<v Speaker 3>So then Otter takes a girl's name is Shelley, takes
<v Speaker 3>her to the car, starts working her over in the
<v Speaker 3>back seat, and he's like.
<v Speaker 4>I used to touch fun this way.
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I know, she told me. He kind of
<v Speaker 3>looks at her.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, she did. Yeah, okay, yea, she was
<v Speaker 2>rare to go, just like as she was.
<v Speaker 3>And then of course everybody gets kicked out of the club,
<v Speaker 3>and then she's half naked when they all jump in
<v Speaker 3>the car and they're crashing the car around the parking lot.
<v Speaker 4>Funny, funny scene.
<v Speaker 3>That scene, Chris Miller said absolute truth actually happened in
<v Speaker 3>real life.
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, all of it.
<v Speaker 4>That's what he said.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, can we dance with your women?
<v Speaker 3>Do you mind if we dance with your dads?
<v Speaker 6>Do you mind if we dance with your dates?
<v Speaker 7>Well, no, not at all.
<v Speaker 3>My Chris Bauer Patreon member Chris Bauer aka Bomber my
<v Speaker 3>buddy in high school, he would come up out of
<v Speaker 3>nowhere while you're in math class or whatever, and you'd
<v Speaker 3>come up behind you and he'd be like.
<v Speaker 4>Do you mind if we dance with you?
<v Speaker 7>Okay?
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about a certain scene when they're
<v Speaker 3>all visiting Dean Warmer's office. He's going through the grade
<v Speaker 3>point averages. You know, you're like a zero point one
<v Speaker 3>and you're a zero point two. You know, you're the
<v Speaker 3>best one at a one point two, and basically he's
<v Speaker 3>telling them they're kicked out, and he's looking at Flounder,
<v Speaker 3>and Flounder's getting more and more upset, and you could
<v Speaker 3>tell he's.
<v Speaker 2>Trying and stupid. There's no way to go through life sod.
<v Speaker 3>And so he's trying to say something and Warmer's like,
<v Speaker 3>out with it, what is it?
<v Speaker 5>You know?
<v Speaker 3>Speak and it's obviously he bars all over the place.
<v Speaker 3>They had to cut that because that was too much
<v Speaker 3>for the viewing audiences of nineteen seventy eight. They actually
<v Speaker 3>pointed out that just a few years later and stand
<v Speaker 3>by me, there's a giant vomiting scene.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was just sitting here thinking, hadn't The Exorcist
<v Speaker 2>start to come out at this point?
<v Speaker 4>I guess?
<v Speaker 5>So?
<v Speaker 2>Was it seventy nine? When did the Exorcist cheme?
<v Speaker 4>Seventy three?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so five years earlier. You got a girl spitting
<v Speaker 2>pea soup as her head spins around. But one drunk
<v Speaker 2>frat boy vomiting is too much.
<v Speaker 3>They would not show that scene. They wouldn't show the barfing.
<v Speaker 4>Weird Okay, I definitely want to talk about.
<v Speaker 3>The end scene when the Deltas finally get back at
<v Speaker 3>everybody by taking over and like terrorizing this town. Parade, right,
<v Speaker 3>they cause all this commotion. All these floats are are crashing,
<v Speaker 3>and there's a little boy in his bedroom looking at
<v Speaker 3>a playboy. And when they crash, like it launches a
<v Speaker 3>half naked woman into his room and he's looking at
<v Speaker 3>the playboy. She lands on his bed. He's like, thank
<v Speaker 3>you God. On the float for the Deltas and on
<v Speaker 3>the side of it, like in tissue paper, it says
<v Speaker 3>eat me. And then you've got Kevin Bacon who's standing there.
<v Speaker 3>He's trying to keep everybody calm, and he's like, all
<v Speaker 3>is good, All is good. And this is the only
<v Speaker 3>part of the whole movie where I think the realism
<v Speaker 3>goes right out the window. They trample over him and
<v Speaker 3>then he looks like a cartoon. He's like flattened on
<v Speaker 3>the sidewalk.
<v Speaker 2>The dead horse wasn't cartoony?
<v Speaker 4>The dead horse.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Actually, I want to talk about that scene as well.
<v Speaker 3>So you know, they're at the University of Oregon. The
<v Speaker 3>dean of the college has allowed them access to his office,
<v Speaker 3>and so they drag that horse that's his actual office,
<v Speaker 3>the guy that agreed to let them shoot, and all
<v Speaker 3>that stuff. So they're like, well, I guess it's okay.
<v Speaker 3>So they drag that horse in there, and that's his
<v Speaker 3>real office.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
<v Speaker 4>And then of.
<v Speaker 3>Course they're terrorizing Flounder, trying to get him. They want
<v Speaker 3>him to think he's killing the horse, but they gave
<v Speaker 3>him blanks.
<v Speaker 4>He fired it up in the air. Of course, the
<v Speaker 4>horse has a heart attack and dies. Funny.
<v Speaker 2>That's good comedy, right there.
<v Speaker 4>That's funny.
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's flip over to Revenge of the Nerds
<v Speaker 3>and talk about a few funny scenes there.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, Takashi, what do you got? Well, I think
<v Speaker 4>I have a frush? Is a frush?
<v Speaker 2>So, as I was watching this movie, it's been nearly
<v Speaker 2>forty years since I've seen the movie, you know, right.
<v Speaker 2>I saw it early on when it had been released
<v Speaker 2>on VHS, when I could sneak it by my parents
<v Speaker 2>because I wasn't allowed to watch rated our movies. But
<v Speaker 2>it's been a long time, and when I was watching it,
<v Speaker 2>for the first good half hour of the movie, I
<v Speaker 2>was just like, oh, this is just not even kind
<v Speaker 2>of mildly funny. It's just okay. But it was a
<v Speaker 2>slow build. It was a slow built but the movie
<v Speaker 2>takes off at the party scene when they invite the
<v Speaker 2>moves over right, that is where it takes off. And
<v Speaker 2>I think that's due. I mean, number one, the comedy
<v Speaker 2>starts because they you have the Lamb to Lamb de Lambda,
<v Speaker 2>you n Bernie Casey guy there and his little you know,
<v Speaker 2>helper who's laughing things up. And then they pull out
<v Speaker 2>the joints, the wonder joints, and they and then they
<v Speaker 2>put on the music, and I couldn't believe this. I'm
<v Speaker 2>listening to Thriller, like the original Michael Jackson Thriller music
<v Speaker 2>for at least three minutes. Sure, I mean it's crazy.
<v Speaker 2>See how long they play this as just music that
<v Speaker 2>they're all just dancing to. And the dancing is hysterical,
<v Speaker 2>and the girls coming onto the guys and the guys
<v Speaker 2>coming onder the girls. It's all fantastic. But it just
<v Speaker 2>takes off at that moment, and I was just like, wow,
<v Speaker 2>how did they manage I mean, this tiny budget little movie,
<v Speaker 2>how did they manage to get the rights to Thriller? Well?
<v Speaker 2>Crap that that was just the beginning, right.
<v Speaker 3>They played Burning Down the House by the Talking Heads.
<v Speaker 2>Which was huge in nineteen eighty four. It was, and
<v Speaker 2>then they played a throwback to the seventies but still
<v Speaker 2>a fantastic song, We are the Champions like Queen.
<v Speaker 4>It was mind blowing.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, key moments in the movie and they get
<v Speaker 2>full so I don't I couldn't believe that they had
<v Speaker 2>access to all of this incredible music.
<v Speaker 3>The budget of this movie is six million dollars. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>you can't get thriller today for six million dollars.
<v Speaker 2>Probably not.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know how they did. I think maybe
<v Speaker 3>it just wasn't a big deal to play, so.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, nineteen eighty four playing Michael Jackson, that seems
<v Speaker 3>like a pretty big deal.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a big deal. They had to have I
<v Speaker 2>don't know. They had to have had the inside track somehow.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they did it, but it was
<v Speaker 2>I was impressed.
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, that's when it really takes off. The scene
<v Speaker 3>that I always thought was hilarious is when they get
<v Speaker 3>the liquid heat and they put it all over the
<v Speaker 3>jockstraps for the football team, right right right. I think
<v Speaker 3>you even said this is a use of a chemical weapon. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>And they're all standing there and as a kid I
<v Speaker 3>was watching this, I'm thinking, this is the funniest thing
<v Speaker 3>I've ever seen. They're standing there and they start to
<v Speaker 3>kind of fidget, yeah, and the coach is speaking talking
<v Speaker 3>to him, giving him pep talk, and they start to
<v Speaker 3>fidget more and more and more, and then they started
<v Speaker 3>throwing the cups on it, and then they take off running.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, just go get them, and they all take
<v Speaker 2>off to the locker room and and he's like, we
<v Speaker 2>forgot to practice.
<v Speaker 3>Improvd line by John Goodman.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, by the way, I hope I don't get too
<v Speaker 2>graphic on this. When I was a little kid, just
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the chemical burn thing. Yeah, it's it's
<v Speaker 2>unsettling how uncomfortable that can be. But I remember going
<v Speaker 2>to a fununction with my mother and they had some
<v Speaker 2>salsa on the table that included some jalapenos, and I
<v Speaker 2>guess I had picked one of the jalapenos up. And
<v Speaker 2>then I'm a kid of like five or six years old, right,
<v Speaker 2>and then I went and you know, went to the
<v Speaker 2>bathroom and it came back and then like I'm like
<v Speaker 2>it was it was exactly like the movie where it's
<v Speaker 2>like you're like thinking about it, you know, You're like,
<v Speaker 2>what's going on and you're like you kind of you
<v Speaker 2>move to one side, and then you moved to the
<v Speaker 2>other side, and then it's like, I can't just reach
<v Speaker 2>down there and grab I gotta what am I gonna? Oh?
<v Speaker 2>This is getting worse. And finally my mother turns to
<v Speaker 2>me and she's like, do we need to leave? And
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yes, yes we do. She's like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>okay and Schooville's I was like, I don't know what happened,
<v Speaker 2>and she was like, you held the jalapeno bro Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>of course it bro because that was nineteen three. But whatever.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's talk about the carnival of events where they
<v Speaker 3>have to try and win the fraternity.
<v Speaker 2>Prize, the contest.
<v Speaker 3>The contest, right, so they do they do some funny
<v Speaker 3>things like they have the beer tricycle race.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 3>We talked about how the guy who played Takashi really
<v Speaker 3>was drinking actual beers and so he was actually hammered
<v Speaker 3>from doing those tricycle races, right, which was hilarious.
<v Speaker 2>Not to mention this absurdity was endorsed by the university there.
<v Speaker 3>The coaches up there is like, at which point everyone's
<v Speaker 3>gonna chug a beer? Then they have the bull riding,
<v Speaker 3>they have the tug of war, they have arm wrestling.
<v Speaker 4>Then they have the belching contest.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you get a kind of a half hearted
<v Speaker 3>effort from Ogre right, and then you have the booger belch.
<v Speaker 1>Frankly, I'm not too wild about this next event, but
<v Speaker 1>it has become a tradition here at Adams. The belching contest.
<v Speaker 2>Now, there's a rumor that some say is untrue, but
<v Speaker 2>in my estimation I like to believe the urban legend
<v Speaker 2>if it is one on where they get this burp sound?
<v Speaker 2>Do you know this story? No?
<v Speaker 4>I don't.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I mean part of it is actually a
<v Speaker 2>man burping, but if you listen, it extends out some distance.
<v Speaker 2>And apparently what they used was a sound clip from
<v Speaker 2>a National geographic where there was one camel copulating with
<v Speaker 2>another camel. And so this is the this is the
<v Speaker 2>sound of camel marital bliss if you will. That makes
<v Speaker 2>the sound for this extended burn.
<v Speaker 4>That's funny, that's funny.
<v Speaker 3>And then you have the javelin throw.
<v Speaker 2>Wait, do you see Lamar's throw?
<v Speaker 5>How cong worms is a mastered aerodynamics and he designed
<v Speaker 5>the javelin to go along with Lamar's limpriested throwing style.
<v Speaker 2>Where we see Stan knows what he's doing and they've
<v Speaker 2>aerodynamically designed the javelin for or Lamar's we limp risted
<v Speaker 2>to throw his limp risted through is not PC anymore.
<v Speaker 2>Boys and Girls forty years makes a lot of differences.
<v Speaker 4>Just tell you that's funny.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, that actor had to go and play
<v Speaker 2>some of the manliest parts after this, just to establish
<v Speaker 2>that he.
<v Speaker 4>Wasn't over correcting.
<v Speaker 2>Huh, yes, that he wasn't limp wristed, so to speak.
<v Speaker 3>There's another funny scene where worms are I thought, so,
<v Speaker 3>Worms is the little kid, like the brainiac little kid
<v Speaker 3>who's like in college at age twelve, and I saw
<v Speaker 3>an interview where the members of the crew and the
<v Speaker 3>director supposedly watched out for him and made sure that
<v Speaker 3>this twelve year old didn't get into any trouble. They
<v Speaker 3>didn't want him exposed to any kind of unnecessary sexual stuff.
<v Speaker 4>Or alcohol and drugs or whatever.
<v Speaker 3>Right, But there is one really funny scene where he's
<v Speaker 3>having a conversation between two giant sets of boobs.
<v Speaker 4>He's talking to.
<v Speaker 3>One set of boobs and then he turns and he talks
<v Speaker 3>to another set of boobs and he gives this great
<v Speaker 3>cheesy smile.
<v Speaker 2>Is really funny, breaks the fourth wall and let you
<v Speaker 2>in on the joke. Yes, he does a great job
<v Speaker 2>with that. Yeah, so he was. He was a part
<v Speaker 2>of the scene where they go into the sorority house
<v Speaker 2>and are planting all the cameras, right right, Well, it
<v Speaker 2>turns out that sorority house that they use was actually
<v Speaker 2>a rat infested, dilapidated, abandoned apartment. They all they did
<v Speaker 2>was take one hallway, repaint that hallway, and that's that's
<v Speaker 2>what they used for that scene as they're chasing them around,
<v Speaker 2>panty rating if you will, the sorority Wow.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, wow, that's crazy.
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So we talked a little bit about the music
<v Speaker 2>in Revenge of the Nerds. Let's jump back. Let's talk
<v Speaker 2>about some of the songs that we get in National
<v Speaker 2>Lampoon Animal Houses. I mean, there are some freaking amazing
<v Speaker 2>songs in this one, no doubt.
<v Speaker 4>Let's do it.
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So we mentioned last time that the composer for
<v Speaker 2>this one was Elmer Bernstein, friend of John Landers's family,
<v Speaker 2>composer for The Ten Commandments. But they pulled some songs
<v Speaker 2>in some of the time, it was songs sung by
<v Speaker 2>the cast, but one and one of those moments was
<v Speaker 2>a song called money That's what I Want, which was
<v Speaker 2>made very popular by the Beatles, of course, but was
<v Speaker 2>originally and they the Beatles covered that song and it
<v Speaker 2>was it's John Belushi that's singing it in this one.
<v Speaker 4>Really okay, yes.
<v Speaker 2>But the writer for the original song is a guy
<v Speaker 2>that we've talked about in one of our Patreon episodes
<v Speaker 2>named Verry Gordy.
<v Speaker 4>Really how about that?
<v Speaker 2>So if you guys are interested in hearing the very
<v Speaker 2>Gordy family tree and a special song that made it
<v Speaker 2>had a special appearance by mister Michael Jackson on it,
<v Speaker 2>you should go check out our Patreon episodes. For as
<v Speaker 2>little as five bucks a month, you can join our
<v Speaker 2>Patreon family and hear all of those one hit Wonder episodes.
<v Speaker 2>Patreon dot com slash Surely Podcast.
<v Speaker 4>You ready to talk about Louis Louis?
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Yeah, as we can talk about Louis Louis.
<v Speaker 3>So, before we were recording today, you and I were
<v Speaker 3>looking at some stuff and I told you that American
<v Speaker 3>songwriter said, this is the most influential, most important.
<v Speaker 4>Rock song of all time.
<v Speaker 2>That's a pretty big statement.
<v Speaker 4>That is a big state, the big statement. This song
<v Speaker 4>came out in nineteen.
<v Speaker 3>Sixty three, which you've been the rules a little bit
<v Speaker 3>because Animal House was set.
<v Speaker 4>In nineteen sixty two.
<v Speaker 2>Correct.
<v Speaker 3>It was originally written in nineteen fifty five by an
<v Speaker 3>RB guy named Richard Barry. Okay, now the lyrics are
<v Speaker 3>basically unintelligible, right, you can't tell what they're saying.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And so the FBI.
<v Speaker 3>Launched an investigation into the lyrics of this song.
<v Speaker 4>This is a true.
<v Speaker 3>Story because the Governor of Indiana, Matthew Welsh, declared that
<v Speaker 3>it was pornographic in early nineteen sixty four and wanted
<v Speaker 3>the India in a Broadcasters Association to ban it. And
<v Speaker 3>the investigation spanned offices in several states, with technicians listening
<v Speaker 3>to the song at different speeds trying to discern obscene lyrics.
<v Speaker 2>So this band, the Kingsman IMDb literally refers to them
<v Speaker 2>as a frat rock group. Okay, it's great. But Louie
<v Speaker 2>Louie was their debut single, as You Said, came out
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen sixty three. The recording They did it for
<v Speaker 2>thirty six dollars at Portland's Northwest Recorders Studio thirty six
<v Speaker 2>dollars thirty six bucks, solid investment, Kingsman, well done.
<v Speaker 3>Gosh, that is an incredible return.
<v Speaker 2>It went on to hit number two on the Billboard
<v Speaker 2>Pop Charts in nineteen sixty four. Gosh, I don't think
<v Speaker 2>there's been a decade gone by that they haven't used
<v Speaker 2>it in a movie.
<v Speaker 3>Since its release, this became a national hit when a
<v Speaker 3>disc jockey in Boston played it and declared that it
<v Speaker 3>was the worst song that he had ever heard.
<v Speaker 2>I love it all right, what else you got for me?
<v Speaker 2>So there are a couple of awe some Sam Cook
<v Speaker 2>tunes on here. We've got Twist in the Night Away.
<v Speaker 2>Definitely love that song. And then we got a song
<v Speaker 2>called Wonderful World, which whenever I hear that title, I
<v Speaker 2>always think of the Louis Armstrong for sure, But this
<v Speaker 2>one is the one that he starts out. Don't know
<v Speaker 2>much about his story, Yeah, don't know much biology that
<v Speaker 2>that song's Wonderful World. I would not have guessed that
<v Speaker 2>was the title of that song, but there you go.
<v Speaker 2>But Sam Cook again, an incredibly good song. But as
<v Speaker 2>with other movies, I think that the pinnacle song for
<v Speaker 2>this movie has to be the Isley Brothers singing shout
<v Speaker 2>you know to make me won.
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it's fantastic. They played that at every fraternity party.
<v Speaker 4>Known to man ever since nineteen sixty three.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it is a it's a great mix of early
<v Speaker 2>rock and roll. This came out in like nineteen fifty nine,
<v Speaker 2>early rock and roll and R and B and gospel
<v Speaker 2>like it was his. We actually got calls from from
<v Speaker 2>black churches saying we please stop playing that song because
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like a black gospel church song. We don't
<v Speaker 2>want you playing it on the rock and roll stations.
<v Speaker 4>Here's a quick trivia question for you.
<v Speaker 3>In the movie Witness with Harrison Ford and Kelly.
<v Speaker 2>McGillis, Yes, okay, I'm familiar with them.
<v Speaker 3>Harrison Ford's character, John Book is staying at the Amish
<v Speaker 3>place and kind of getting ready to put the moves
<v Speaker 3>on Kelly mcgillis's character, right, He sings a song and
<v Speaker 3>they end up in bed.
<v Speaker 4>The song Sam Cook's What a Wonderful World?
<v Speaker 2>Nice, nice, good trivia.
<v Speaker 4>There you go. By the way, the Sam Cook story tragic.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, So I just want to tell you quickly
<v Speaker 3>about the Sam Cook story. I can't remember what episode
<v Speaker 3>we could have touched on this.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But on.
<v Speaker 3>December eleventh, nineteen sixty four, he was at a hotel room.
<v Speaker 3>He had brought a girl back to the hotel and
<v Speaker 3>then she wandered off, and he went down to the
<v Speaker 3>hotel manager's office, banged on the door and said, where's
<v Speaker 3>the girl. Where's the girl. She's like, what girl? What
<v Speaker 3>are you talking about? Busted in the door. This is,
<v Speaker 3>according to the hotel manager, wearing nothing but one shoe
<v Speaker 3>and a sports jacket and nothing else. He grabs her
<v Speaker 3>and is like, where's the girl, where's the girl?
<v Speaker 4>And she's like, I don't know what you're talking about.
<v Speaker 3>And they wrestle and fight. She pulls out a gun,
<v Speaker 3>she shoots him and kills him. Nineteen sixty four. Wow,
<v Speaker 3>of course, Sam Cook one of the great voices.
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, that's tragic story. There you go, tragic. Okay, So
<v Speaker 2>two small budget, low expectation movies turn into monumental successes.
<v Speaker 2>Both of these movies some of.
<v Speaker 4>The biggest college comedies of all time.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, yeah, the biggest. I couldn't tell you
<v Speaker 2>bigger at this point.
<v Speaker 3>Now, Animal House is the godfather of college comedies.
<v Speaker 2>It very much is yes, Okay.
<v Speaker 3>Before you get to the success of Animal House, I
<v Speaker 3>want to circle back on a story that I started
<v Speaker 3>in part one. So, the one of the head executives
<v Speaker 3>at Universal, a guy's name was Ned Tannon. He was grumpy,
<v Speaker 3>didn't believe in the project, didn't really want to do it.
<v Speaker 3>You finally agreed because Tom Mount and Sean Daniel at
<v Speaker 3>Universal we're big fans of the magazine. He's like, fine,
<v Speaker 3>three million bucks. Let's throw three million bucks at him.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we can make a couple of dollars in the
<v Speaker 3>college crowd.
<v Speaker 4>Okay.
<v Speaker 3>So the original cut of Animal House one hundred and
<v Speaker 3>thirty five minutes long.
<v Speaker 2>Oh hello, that's right. That's not comedy length, right, that's
<v Speaker 2>just two hours and fifteen minutes long. That's a lot. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>And so I told you they went to the editor
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, we think this is all great. And
<v Speaker 3>the editor says, well, here's what we're gonna do. We're
<v Speaker 3>gonna shake the tree and everything that's unnecessary to this
<v Speaker 3>movie we're going to shake off, and then whatever's left is.
<v Speaker 4>Going to be great, perfectly prune tree, perfectly prune tree.
<v Speaker 2>Perfect.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>And so they're like, great, let's do it. So they
<v Speaker 3>cut it down to what is an hour and forty
<v Speaker 3>five minutes, forty minutes.
<v Speaker 2>Something like that. I think John Landis said he learned
<v Speaker 2>a lot from that experience, that idea of you can't
<v Speaker 2>just dump the whole thing, no matter how good they are, right,
<v Speaker 2>you can't dump that whole thing on somebody. Right.
<v Speaker 3>So they go to show it to Ned Tannant and
<v Speaker 3>he's got his arms crossed, not laughing, not enjoying it.
<v Speaker 3>And it gets to the part where Otter has been
<v Speaker 3>sent to the hotel room to meet up with the
<v Speaker 3>bad guys, right, and they jump him and they beat
<v Speaker 3>the crap out of him, and he's like, this is
<v Speaker 3>not funny. And John Lindas is like, well, it's not
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be funny because this is the part where
<v Speaker 3>he gets beat up and it sort of gives them
<v Speaker 3>the incentive to get back and you know, and Ned
<v Speaker 3>Tennant says, oh, so we're making comedies that are supposed
<v Speaker 3>to not be funny.
<v Speaker 4>John Lennas is like, man, this is not going well
<v Speaker 4>at all, right.
<v Speaker 3>And so finally he gets up, he leaves. They're like, fine,
<v Speaker 3>do whatever you want with it, you know, make your
<v Speaker 3>unfunny comedy, like man, this guy doesn't get it at all,
<v Speaker 3>Like he does not think it's funny. So they pre
<v Speaker 3>screen it and it's a bunch of college kids, a
<v Speaker 3>bunch of fraternity guys in fact, uh huh. And John
<v Speaker 3>Lanna says it's the greatest reception of any movie he's
<v Speaker 3>ever seen.
<v Speaker 2>In his life.
<v Speaker 3>They were going bananas, he said, they were laughing so
<v Speaker 3>much that they were missing jokes and missing funny scenes
<v Speaker 3>that were coming right, and they were just howling at
<v Speaker 3>this movie. Once that happened, he's like, I think we
<v Speaker 3>got a hit, Fellas. Yeah, and it goes from a
<v Speaker 3>three million dollar budget movie to was it make one
<v Speaker 3>hundred and forty one million dollars worldwide?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And it's the godfather of college comedies.
<v Speaker 2>It is. Yeah. Sometimes movie studio executives don't know what
<v Speaker 2>the heck they're talking about.
<v Speaker 4>That's true.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>John Landis made one comment that I thought was particularly interesting.
<v Speaker 3>He said, when we started out with Animal House, for
<v Speaker 3>a while, this movie belonged to Mattie Simmons and to
<v Speaker 3>Ivan Rightman, and then it became Harold Ramis's, Doug Kenney's,
<v Speaker 3>and Chris Miller's, and then for a little while it
<v Speaker 3>became mine, like it was my movie, right, But once
<v Speaker 3>it was released, it became John Blushi's movie. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and I just thought that's really cool.
<v Speaker 2>Well said, yeah, that's very good. Well said so Revenge
<v Speaker 2>of the Nerds. As I mentioned earlier, I could not
<v Speaker 2>figure out how this movie got made, And it turns
<v Speaker 2>out it was because it had a producer that was
<v Speaker 2>the air of a fortune, right right. And its budget
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen eighty four was eight million, and it's gross
<v Speaker 2>worldwide was forty million, almost forty one million. Okay, so
<v Speaker 2>one hundred million less than Animal House. Sure, but we're
<v Speaker 2>talking about nineteen eighty four arguably the best year in
<v Speaker 2>eighties movie history.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, deff Dave is happy to hear you say that, Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 3>but you're right. It was a jam packed year at
<v Speaker 3>the movie theater. In talking about Revenge of the Nerds,
<v Speaker 3>it was kind of under the radar because the studio
<v Speaker 3>thought the big comedy that year was going to be
<v Speaker 3>Johnny Dangerously.
<v Speaker 2>I love Johnny Dangers I do too, right, Michael Keen.
<v Speaker 3>It's got some stars in it, but they were paying
<v Speaker 3>more attention to Johnny Dangerously, and this is this one
<v Speaker 3>kind of flew under the radar as just kind of
<v Speaker 3>a dumb boob college funny movie, right, and it ends
<v Speaker 3>up being one of the big comedy successes of.
<v Speaker 4>Nineteen eighty four.
<v Speaker 2>Very memorable.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, and Johnny dangerously I liked it.
<v Speaker 2>I liked it too, But people don't talk about it.
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't have the stay power as far as iconic movies.
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't have the stay power of Revenge of the Nerds.
<v Speaker 4>I agree, Yeah, I agree.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So we know that both of these movies were successes,
<v Speaker 2>and both of them made attempts to pour out that
<v Speaker 2>success if you will. Right, there were no follow up
<v Speaker 2>movies for National Lampoon Animal House, but many people may
<v Speaker 2>not know there was a follow up TV series.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the TV series which they owned the rights to,
<v Speaker 3>so they could have easily called it Animal House, they
<v Speaker 3>chose to make the ridiculous decision of changing the title
<v Speaker 3>to the Dell to House Delta House. And get this,
<v Speaker 3>so I told you this story the other day. So
<v Speaker 3>they kind of get members of the cast.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they get Flounder, they get d Day, they get
<v Speaker 2>Dean Warmer. Yeah, you get Dean Warmer. I mean they
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of the original cast in there. You know,
<v Speaker 2>they didn't get it was John Landis. They did not
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't get John Belushi, right. A guy named
<v Speaker 2>Josh Mostel played the Blue Tarski part and a guy
<v Speaker 2>named Peter Fox played the Otter part. But as a
<v Speaker 2>short lived show, there is one interesting feature of a
<v Speaker 2>new actor or actress in this movie. You were telling
<v Speaker 2>me about how crazy it is, how they got this,
<v Speaker 2>how they got this actress.
<v Speaker 3>So they're looking for the pretty girl to fill the
<v Speaker 3>Babs role, and they found this girl working at a
<v Speaker 3>grocery store, working at the supermarkets, working at the supermarket.
<v Speaker 3>They hired her to be in this TV show and
<v Speaker 3>she's like, what do I do about my job at
<v Speaker 3>the grocery store? And they're, well, honey, you need to
<v Speaker 3>quit because you've got a future in TV and film.
<v Speaker 2>Huh.
<v Speaker 4>That woman's name is Michelle Pfeiffer.
<v Speaker 2>Mind blown.
<v Speaker 3>What Michelle Pfiffer got her start her first images on
<v Speaker 3>any kind of camera?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Delta House yep. Nineteen seventy nine through nineteen
<v Speaker 2>seventy nine. That's how long this one lasts, right, She
<v Speaker 2>was the key hottie in the Delta House and then
<v Speaker 2>within just what like a year, she is acting with
<v Speaker 2>al Pacino and freaking Scarface.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Scarface eighty three, Catwoman ninety two.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Delta House not a not a big success. So
<v Speaker 2>what about Revenge of the Nerds.
<v Speaker 7>Ow Nerds as good as you?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, So here's what I'm gonna say about Revenge
<v Speaker 3>of the Nerds. Our buddy Jeff Johnson told me he's
<v Speaker 3>got the four pack Nerd collection.
<v Speaker 2>Right.
<v Speaker 3>So in nineteen eighty seven you get Revenge of the
<v Speaker 3>Nerds Part two yep, which actually it has Courtney Thorn's Smith.
<v Speaker 4>They go to the beach.
<v Speaker 3>There's kind of a funny joke about them staying at
<v Speaker 3>the hotel Coral Essex. But that movie had its laughs.
<v Speaker 4>It was funny.
<v Speaker 3>Now Gilbert broke his leg and so he couldn't go
<v Speaker 3>with them. So you're you're down goose right, you don't
<v Speaker 3>have anything anwa.
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Edwards was like, I am a bigger star than this.
<v Speaker 3>Now I just did Top Gun in case you guys
<v Speaker 3>don't know that. But then you have two others. One
<v Speaker 3>of them is like Nerds in Love.
<v Speaker 2>Revenge of the Nerds three, the Next Generation came out
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen ninety two, and Revenge of the Nerds. Nerds
<v Speaker 2>in Love came out in nineteen.
<v Speaker 4>Four, nineteen ninety four.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, so riding that for all that they could. I'm
<v Speaker 2>pretty sure that that last one was a made for
<v Speaker 2>TV movie. But three point eight on IMDb, Matt, I have.
<v Speaker 4>Not watched that one. I have no plans to see
<v Speaker 4>that one.
<v Speaker 2>Well, they got back Robert Carrodine for that, Curtis Armstrong,
<v Speaker 2>Julie Montgomery, what, yeah, all back for that. It's just
<v Speaker 2>that it was terrible.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, By the way, I one other story I need
<v Speaker 3>to follow up on before we do our final judgment. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>at the end of Animal House, in the closing credits,
<v Speaker 3>there's a you know this is a Universal picture when
<v Speaker 3>it talks about who did what at the end, you know,
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the movie when it shows Babs
<v Speaker 3>says that she worked as a tour guide at Universal Studios, right,
<v Speaker 3>and it says ask for Babs.
<v Speaker 4>When you go to Universal Studios.
<v Speaker 5>Right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so Universal Studios actually had some sort of incentive
<v Speaker 3>when you ask for Babs at Universal Studios. Okay, now
<v Speaker 3>here's the deal. I couldn't find anywhere concrete where it
<v Speaker 3>said you got ten dollars off your ticket or you
<v Speaker 3>got an extra ride or you got free popcorn or anything.
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't find.
<v Speaker 2>Anything signed picture of Babs well.
<v Speaker 3>Right, right, but I did see a press release that
<v Speaker 3>had been released in nineteen eighty nine, ten years later.
<v Speaker 3>Over ten years later, they were no longer honoring the
<v Speaker 3>ask for Bab's incentive at Universal Studios.
<v Speaker 2>Stupid Universal.
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know.
<v Speaker 3>I think maybe it was kind of the discretion of
<v Speaker 3>the manager on duty at that day.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and probably it had become what do they say, viral,
<v Speaker 2>not back then, but that it was like everybody knew
<v Speaker 2>the secret at this point. It wasn't an inside joke anymore.
<v Speaker 3>If I go to Universal Studios, you can guarantee I'm
<v Speaker 3>gonna ask for Rabs.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, before we get into final judgment, I got a
<v Speaker 2>question for you. Okay, you've just gone through Pledge Week. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>and you've got two offers. Yes, one is from the
<v Speaker 2>Delta House and the others from the try Lamps. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>which one are you going to pledge with?
<v Speaker 3>I'm pledging try lamb Okay, why because I care about
<v Speaker 3>graduating and that's full of smart people who are going
<v Speaker 3>to graduate.
<v Speaker 2>Huh.
<v Speaker 3>The Delta House is full of people are about.
<v Speaker 4>To get kicked out of school.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I want to graduate and get my college degree.
<v Speaker 2>Right. If I had confidence in my own bootstraps success, right,
<v Speaker 2>then I definitely would go with the Delta House. That
<v Speaker 2>would be the most fun. But if I wanted the
<v Speaker 2>most likelihood of financial success, you bet your booty. Not
<v Speaker 2>only that I'm going to get good grades, but I'm
<v Speaker 2>going to meet all the guys who are going to
<v Speaker 2>be running the world in the next twenty years.
<v Speaker 3>Oh guaranteed, Wormser is out there. He's a CEO of
<v Speaker 3>some tech company somewhere.
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. Probably not, he is probably retired, sitting on a
<v Speaker 2>beach earning twenty percent nice.
<v Speaker 3>All right, well here we are. It's final judgment time.
<v Speaker 3>I think it's your turn to go first.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, as I mentioned when I watched The Revenge
<v Speaker 2>of the Nerds, I was kind of a board a
<v Speaker 2>little bit for the first half hour. Then they came
<v Speaker 2>in strong on the party scene. I mean, all of
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, I'm laughing out loud multiple times. I'm like, okay, good,
<v Speaker 2>the movie has come alive. We've built our character relationship
<v Speaker 2>and now we're really seeing them take off. And they
<v Speaker 2>had good funny scenes after that the competition was good,
<v Speaker 2>and then they finished a pretty weak note. It was
<v Speaker 2>not you know, when you have a Cinderella story, which
<v Speaker 2>both of these movies are, she's got to have the
<v Speaker 2>Prince chaser at the end, right, you got to have
<v Speaker 2>Rocky fighting his way to go in the distance. And
<v Speaker 2>with this you just kind of get a whisper end,
<v Speaker 2>you know. And I think that they they had shot
<v Speaker 2>scenes where it was going to be a more aggressive ending,
<v Speaker 2>a more powerful ending for the nerds, and even we
<v Speaker 2>were going to learn that Stan was actually a nerd
<v Speaker 2>at heart and had a brother who was a nerd
<v Speaker 2>who would come save him from the toughness of the
<v Speaker 2>other nerds. This is what these are the deleted scenes
<v Speaker 2>that we're getting to wow, okay, but instead we just
<v Speaker 2>kind of have this awkward, ad libbed speech by Anthony
<v Speaker 2>Edwards and a not very cathartic ending. It's just it's like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>we're here now, when we're here to stay the end?
<v Speaker 2>And on the other side of that, you've got Animal House,
<v Speaker 2>which ends in what I would describe as a battle scene.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was amazing what they did in the carnival.
<v Speaker 2>Carnival they've got you know, Kevin Bacon has smashed flat.
<v Speaker 2>Things are exploding, people are flying up in the air.
<v Speaker 2>Building buildings are being knocked over, dogs and cats living together,
<v Speaker 2>mass hysteria. Right, And so to me, this was a landslide,
<v Speaker 2>a landslide for National lampoon.
<v Speaker 3>Animal House really okay, all right, Well, I'm going to
<v Speaker 3>disagree with you. So I do believe that Animal House
<v Speaker 3>is the godfather of college comedies. There is no denying.
<v Speaker 3>It is way more impactful. It's given birth to more movies,
<v Speaker 3>way more movies than Revenge of the Nerds. But I
<v Speaker 3>can't escape my eleven year old self of wanting to
<v Speaker 3>catch this movie on Cinemax because it was just naughty
<v Speaker 3>enough for me at the time to want to watch
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of you know, Revenge from.
<v Speaker 2>The Nerds, a little bit of voyeurism, a little bit
<v Speaker 2>of inappropriateness for me.
<v Speaker 3>The comedy of Booger really worked for me at that time.
<v Speaker 2>It is eleven year old humor.
<v Speaker 3>Eleven year old me is voting for Revenge of the Notes.
<v Speaker 2>Well, very good, very good, All right, guys, Well tell
