Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985)

<v Speaker 1>Hello, welco with the All Eighties Movies Podcast, the podcast
<v Speaker 1>where we talk about the blockbusters, the flops, and everything
<v Speaker 1>in between from one of the precious decades from movies,
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighties. I'm her host Bill Banton Loum McNee
<v Speaker 1>on this journey revisiting eighties movies. Is my co host
<v Speaker 1>Jason Nassik. Jason, You're the most incredible ass kisser I
<v Speaker 1>have ever seen.
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, Bill, I do my best.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, listeners, we are discussing with Spoils and plenty.
<v Speaker 1>The nineteen eighty five comedy sequel Police Academy two their
<v Speaker 1>first assignment. It was produced by The Lad Company and
<v Speaker 1>distributed by Warner Brothers. The movie stars Steve Gumberg, Michael Winslow,
<v Speaker 1>collieen Camp, bobcat Goldway, and David Graff. Directed by Jerry Paris.
<v Speaker 1>This movie is right at PG thirteen with the running
<v Speaker 1>time of one hour and twenty seven minutes. We covered
<v Speaker 1>Police Academy back in season four. So what is this
<v Speaker 1>movie about? What's on the box? If you grew up
<v Speaker 1>in the nineteen eighties and what's your local video store?
<v Speaker 2>To rent this movie?
<v Speaker 1>You would find this description on the back of the
<v Speaker 1>VHS box. It is what's in the box. Take it away, Jason,
<v Speaker 1>Watch out. A wacky wizard of Ozzy and his band
<v Speaker 1>of merry Punkers are on the prowl. They're leveling their
<v Speaker 1>spray cans and painting the town red or any color
<v Speaker 1>of graffiti. They please never mind the misspellings. If you
<v Speaker 1>see this leathered and studded gang of pin headed pranksters, run,
<v Speaker 1>don't walk the other way, because they're also emptying the
<v Speaker 1>pockets of anyone sharing the sidewalk. In the wake of
<v Speaker 1>this new wave of crime, you might be wondering where
<v Speaker 1>the educational system has gone wrong, But relax, America. Think
<v Speaker 1>of the police Academy. Now that's the kind of school
<v Speaker 1>you can trust. And guess what the raw recruits of
<v Speaker 1>police Academy are back. When this hilarious bunch of odd
<v Speaker 1>balls in blue tangles with the painting Punkers, you're in
<v Speaker 1>for an open and shutcase of NonStop laughter called Police
<v Speaker 1>Academy two their first assignment. Among those again answering law
<v Speaker 1>enforcement's most uproarious roll call are Likable Meathead, Mahoney, Florist
<v Speaker 1>turn flat Foot, high Tower, wild Eyed weapons Freak, Tackleberry,
<v Speaker 1>squeaky voiced hooks, sound effects whiz Kid Larvell, and the
<v Speaker 1>impeccably inept Academy commandant Eric Lesarde. Newcomers to the High
<v Speaker 1>Jinks and Handcuffs include Howard Hessman as the Precinct Captain,
<v Speaker 1>Tim Kazarinski as a Fuddy Duddy Nerds nerd, and Bob
<v Speaker 1>Golthwaite as Zed, the Ozzy Osbourne like gang leader who,
<v Speaker 1>in the absence of bats, choose up scenes with outrageous
<v Speaker 1>punk style. America welcomed the return of its bumbling, gut
<v Speaker 1>busting crimebusters in a most noticeable way, as Police Academy two,
<v Speaker 1>their first assignment, recorded the biggest springtime opening in box
<v Speaker 1>office history. So why not see for yourself what all
<v Speaker 1>the fur and fun is about for the first time
<v Speaker 1>in your life. You'll be glad there's a riot, a
<v Speaker 1>laugh riot in the streets. Police Academy too their first assignment,
<v Speaker 1>So that was what's in the box and Jason, I
<v Speaker 1>was impressive getting through that. Holy Moly, that's a plethora
<v Speaker 1>of tongue twisters.
<v Speaker 2>Well, as listeners probably know already, the only reason I
<v Speaker 2>got through it is because of your ability as an editor.
<v Speaker 2>No one needs to know a secret. That was rough. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>but that was a fun one. That was a long
<v Speaker 2>one too. That was a long one.
<v Speaker 1>Jason, do you remember the first time you saw a
<v Speaker 1>Police Academy to their first assignment?
<v Speaker 2>My first assignment was to watch this at some point
<v Speaker 2>on cable, and I did, and that's all I remember.
<v Speaker 2>To be honest, there's no question I know I saw
<v Speaker 2>multiple times on cable. But other than that, Bill Band,
<v Speaker 2>I have no memory of this film and no attachment
<v Speaker 2>to it outside of ague feeling that I probably thought
<v Speaker 2>it was Ahilair. Yes, when I was a kid. That's
<v Speaker 2>what my part is telling me that I enjoyed it
<v Speaker 2>at some point, But that's all I got. I'm just
<v Speaker 2>going to defer to you right away.
<v Speaker 1>This was the only Police Academy movie I had seen
<v Speaker 1>in the theater. My dad took me to see this one,
<v Speaker 1>which was surprising because since it came out in the spring,
<v Speaker 1>we usually didn't go to the movies when school was
<v Speaker 1>in session. So the fact that my dad actually took
<v Speaker 1>me to see this, I think because he was just
<v Speaker 1>a huge fan of the first one, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>because it's PG. Thirteen the AMC Orleans eight. I do
<v Speaker 1>remember that cool Okay, so let's talk about the movie. Then.
<v Speaker 1>What are our impressions of Police Academy two?
<v Speaker 2>What do you got, Jason? Are our impressions? Indeed, Bill Bant,
<v Speaker 2>this was a rough watch for me. Man, I'm sorry
<v Speaker 2>to say, but I got this immediate sense as it
<v Speaker 2>began that this was going to be a different experience
<v Speaker 2>from watching the first film in the series. It felt
<v Speaker 2>a little flat. It felt like it was missing a
<v Speaker 2>certain energy that I was trying to pinpoint. Mainly, it
<v Speaker 2>was a pace that the first one I felt had.
<v Speaker 2>It felt as if the edits in this speaking of editing,
<v Speaker 2>weren't as sharp or quick enough, and the movie wasn't
<v Speaker 2>quite directed as well, And there might be an explanation
<v Speaker 2>for this. We may discuss this later. But most importantly,
<v Speaker 2>this just wasn't funny for me. The jokes weren't landing,
<v Speaker 2>and there are some decent setups, which was more frustrating
<v Speaker 2>for me. Even more frustrating because I was like, Oh,
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna have to be some laughs as a result
<v Speaker 2>of the setup. But there was a lack of follow
<v Speaker 2>through and there weren't great payoffs for me, And that
<v Speaker 2>could just be my sensibility, my sense of humor my taste.
<v Speaker 2>For instance, right from the start, when this film begins
<v Speaker 2>with that great theme song, I do want to be
<v Speaker 2>a little positive here, it still look a theme signs
<v Speaker 2>with the credits start to roll, and we see Tim
<v Speaker 2>Kazarinsky as Sweet Chuck enforcing all of his security measures
<v Speaker 2>at his what would you call that that lighting shop,
<v Speaker 2>his retail that sells lamps and lights and chandeliers. So
<v Speaker 2>he has all these wonderful the extreme security measures that
<v Speaker 2>he's installing and turning on and setting up, and you're like, wow,
<v Speaker 2>this is gonna be great when all these things go off,
<v Speaker 2>and they don't. They actually move away from that, and
<v Speaker 2>he ends up going to an ATM, which then is
<v Speaker 2>where the action takes place. And the Scullions, I keep
<v Speaker 2>wanting to say scallions, but it's Scullions led by of course,
<v Speaker 2>bobcat Goldwaite. Great to see him doing his crazy shtick
<v Speaker 2>and that was his thing in the eighties. And why
<v Speaker 2>didn't they rob the store? I thought that was what
<v Speaker 2>we were just being set up for. But that's just
<v Speaker 2>a microcosm of my issues I think I was having
<v Speaker 2>with this, or I know I was having with this.
<v Speaker 2>Rewatch by the way when I was watching do you
<v Speaker 2>remember when ATMs first came into effect, when you were
<v Speaker 2>able to use an ATM? It just made me think
<v Speaker 2>about this like it was a very eighties thing watching it,
<v Speaker 2>and then I was like, wait a minute, I don't
<v Speaker 2>even remember ATMs necessarily as a kid.
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't either, I think because I was just
<v Speaker 1>too young to have money so I wouldn't have to
<v Speaker 1>go to a banker a ATM.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I don't even recall seeing them that much.
<v Speaker 2>And maybe that's because I, just, like you said, I'm
<v Speaker 2>not going into the bank as a kid or even
<v Speaker 2>a teenager. But I had to look this up. Here's
<v Speaker 2>a fun fact for y'all. The world's first ATM was
<v Speaker 2>unveiled on June twenty seventh, nineteen sixty seven, at a
<v Speaker 2>Barclays Bank branch in Enfield, North London. Goes back to
<v Speaker 2>nineteen sixty seven. I never would have guessed that, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I would have never figured that. So back on point here,
<v Speaker 2>I just felt after that weird opening that then everything
<v Speaker 2>was going to be either a site gag or a pratfall,
<v Speaker 2>and either it was weird or gross or silly, as
<v Speaker 2>if it were being performed for a room full of
<v Speaker 2>young teenage boys. That's the particular demographic for this type
<v Speaker 2>of movie. And there's an example here where Steve Guttenberg
<v Speaker 2>great who plays Mahoney. We know what to expect here.
<v Speaker 2>This is not going to be The Godfather by any stretch.
<v Speaker 2>Just we know what to expect to a certain extent.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I had my expectations set to high here.
<v Speaker 2>Near the beginning of the film, we see him at
<v Speaker 2>the tailor. He's about to get a new police uniform,
<v Speaker 2>and he basically bribes the young girl for her balloon,
<v Speaker 2>gives her a Snickers bar, she gives him her balloon animal,
<v Speaker 2>and then approaches the very attractive female tailor and it
<v Speaker 2>just turns into him doing a visual dick joke. He's
<v Speaker 2>putting the balloon in his pants as if he has
<v Speaker 2>a big boner right in her face as she's taking
<v Speaker 2>his measurements. And I was like, that's not even funny.
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing here? That's just kind of it's
<v Speaker 2>very sophomoric and very cross. I don't want to overthink
<v Speaker 2>this as if it wasn't what I was expecting. And
<v Speaker 2>I know these types of jokes in the style of
<v Speaker 2>humor existed in the first film. I just felt in
<v Speaker 2>the first film either the writing was stronger to back
<v Speaker 2>it up and or some of these scenes actually serve
<v Speaker 2>the story a little bit more. But it was scenes
<v Speaker 2>like that that just fell flat for me. I was like,
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to laugh out loud at that kind
<v Speaker 2>of humor right now. And maybe that's just unfortunately the
<v Speaker 2>adult in me, and as a kid, I probably thought
<v Speaker 2>it was really silly, But the first film felt like
<v Speaker 2>it had a kind of a clear direction as to
<v Speaker 2>where it was going with a lot of the hijinks,
<v Speaker 2>and or maybe it could be crazy, but and it
<v Speaker 2>felt like in the first film, the entire cast seemed
<v Speaker 2>to be on the same page in the same movie,
<v Speaker 2>and I had some issues with either the characters how
<v Speaker 2>they were portrayed in this and who the cast members
<v Speaker 2>were actually I should say cast of characters, not actors themselves.
<v Speaker 2>So those are just some issues I had from this.
<v Speaker 2>It was a little bit of a It was just
<v Speaker 2>a flat watch for me. The jokes felt flat and
<v Speaker 2>it didn't work for me. So that's my first impression
<v Speaker 2>watching this as an adult. Unfortunately, I was hoping just
<v Speaker 2>to sit down for less than an hour and a
<v Speaker 2>half and have fun with this. But I got a
<v Speaker 2>little frustrated, to be honest.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's kind of surprising to hear that you were
<v Speaker 1>frustrated with it. One of the things I do not
<v Speaker 1>like about this movie is if you quizzed me on
<v Speaker 1>when scenes happened throughout the movie, I couldn't answer that
<v Speaker 1>because all it is is just a series of vignettes
<v Speaker 1>that are strung together, and they can be strung together
<v Speaker 1>in any order, and it doesn't affect the movie whatsoever.
<v Speaker 1>There's no real plot. It's just here's a little funny bit.
<v Speaker 1>Let's go on to the next one. Here's the funny bit.
<v Speaker 1>Let's go on to the next one. Here's the funny bit.
<v Speaker 1>But I think what I do like about the movie
<v Speaker 1>is I really enjoy the characters. I like Mahoney, I
<v Speaker 1>like High Tower, I like tackle Berry, I like Jones.
<v Speaker 1>So they're likable enough for me that they helped me
<v Speaker 1>get through the film, and I'll find some of the
<v Speaker 1>stuff they do throughout the movie funny. But the writing
<v Speaker 1>is on the wall with this film that this series
<v Speaker 1>is going to get stale, and it's going to get
<v Speaker 1>stale really quick because they're already rehashing most of the
<v Speaker 1>jokes for the first one. It's like, Okay, this was
<v Speaker 1>funny in the first movie, how do we do this
<v Speaker 1>again the second one. So there is not a lot
<v Speaker 1>of originality in this film. But if you like the
<v Speaker 1>jokes in the first one, I think they still kind
<v Speaker 1>of worked in the second one. I agree too. I
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's directed very well. I don't think it's
<v Speaker 1>shot very well. I do like most of the new
<v Speaker 1>characters they brought in. I was very surprised to see
<v Speaker 1>Howard Hesspin in it, right, I think just because of
<v Speaker 1>what I know about him. Yeah, this doesn't seem like
<v Speaker 1>a role he would take. And of course afterwards he
<v Speaker 1>said he wished he had never done it, So it
<v Speaker 1>does make sense, right, But I think it was enjoyable
<v Speaker 1>enough that I was like, Okay, not a bad sequel.
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to equal the first. But you're like,
<v Speaker 1>if they keep going down this path, there's gonna be problems.
<v Speaker 2>And that's exactly what they did. Gotcha. That completely tracks
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad we're talking about the cast and you
<v Speaker 2>brought up these actors that are very likable in these roles.
<v Speaker 2>They're very specific roles. We know exactly who these characters
<v Speaker 2>are and in a way sometimes a little bit of
<v Speaker 2>a caricature, but it does work for this type of comedy.
<v Speaker 2>Gutenberg is got that smarmy, goofy grinning like an idiot
<v Speaker 2>smile on his face the whole movie, Like he's literally
<v Speaker 2>smiling throughout the whole movie. Bubba Smith very serviceable. Always
<v Speaker 2>like to see Michael Winslow doing as sound effects. He's
<v Speaker 2>a talented guy. Marion Ramsey as Hooks doing the squeaky voice,
<v Speaker 2>it's effective. I think David Graff is great as tackle Berry. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>he was made for the part, and his facial expressions
<v Speaker 2>and his delivery is wonderful, and he has a kind
<v Speaker 2>of a goofy great that big bumbling presence, but always
<v Speaker 2>fun to see what he's going to do with the firearms.
<v Speaker 2>So it's good to see the band of brothers and
<v Speaker 2>sisters here back together again for this for sure. I
<v Speaker 2>enjoy that's aspect of it. Tackle Berry is the only
<v Speaker 2>one that's really given any kind of story in this.
<v Speaker 2>Everyone else just kind of comes in and comes out.
<v Speaker 2>At least Tackleberry has something. He meets someone, he finds
<v Speaker 2>a girl, and that relationship has shown throughout the film,
<v Speaker 2>but everybody else, no, nothing that is a problem. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>there's just not a lot to sink your teeth into.
<v Speaker 2>But again I'm trying not to be too high minded
<v Speaker 2>about this and knowing, you know, what is the tone
<v Speaker 2>of that? What am I watching here, and to and
<v Speaker 2>just enjoy it for what it is. But the two
<v Speaker 2>big actor issues I had was one, it's notably missing
<v Speaker 2>ged Up Bailey from the first film. For me as
<v Speaker 2>Lieutenant Thaddeus Harris, I thought he really played up the
<v Speaker 2>comedy and the over the top sort of villain or
<v Speaker 2>heel if you will, and his diamondamic between himself and
<v Speaker 2>George Gains like they had as Commandant Eric Lizard. Those
<v Speaker 2>two had a nice back and forth that worked for me.
<v Speaker 2>And then in this we get the character of watch
<v Speaker 2>Commander Mauser played by Art Matrano and he sort of
<v Speaker 2>has a partnership dynamic with Officer Proctor played by Lance Kinsey,
<v Speaker 2>whom I thought actually was a bit of a stand up.
<v Speaker 2>I thought Lance Kinsey as Proctor played that bumbling idiot
<v Speaker 2>quite well. I thought he was really good in this
<v Speaker 2>for the few scenes that he was in. But for me,
<v Speaker 2>Art Matrono as Mouser wasn't quite as strong as GW. Bailey.
<v Speaker 2>I was missing GW. Bailey as Lieutenant Harris in this
<v Speaker 2>a lot.
<v Speaker 1>I was okay with Malser. Yes, I missed GW. Bailly,
<v Speaker 1>but I thought he wasn't a bad replacement. And he
<v Speaker 1>did have a motive in this, so I'll give him
<v Speaker 1>that too. He had something to do in a reason
<v Speaker 1>to do what he was doing because he wants to
<v Speaker 1>take over the precinct. That makes sense to me, sure,
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, he's gonna be bad for now. I enjoyed
<v Speaker 1>him enough. Great, see that's it's a taste thing. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but I agree with you wholeheart.
<v Speaker 2>The second issue I had character slash actor issue I
<v Speaker 2>had with this was Captain Pete Lazard, like you said,
<v Speaker 2>played by Howard Hessman. We love Howard Hessman as we
<v Speaker 2>do WKRP in Cincinnati. Come on, He's wonderful and he's
<v Speaker 2>criminally under used in this as an actor. As a
<v Speaker 2>comedic actor, his character is poorly written. He's the brother
<v Speaker 2>of Eric Lazard George Gaines. Shouldn't he either? And this
<v Speaker 2>is a sequel where everything supposedly becomes more exaggerated the
<v Speaker 2>big you know, it's bigger, it's better and all these things.
<v Speaker 2>So now it's the brother of this art. Is he
<v Speaker 2>going to be even more goofy and just oblivious to
<v Speaker 2>everything going on and just as his brother is, or
<v Speaker 2>the extreme opposite of that. Maybe it's neither. He's just
<v Speaker 2>like this passive, nice guy captain in the film, And
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what the hell is this character? That was unfortunate?
<v Speaker 2>And like you said, and you know you do then
<v Speaker 2>read that Howard Headsman not going to return to this
<v Speaker 2>franchise after the film, so he knew it wasn't a
<v Speaker 2>great character for him.
<v Speaker 1>I would say, I do agree with that, Howard. He's
<v Speaker 1>basically playing the straight map. I'm like, wait, you have
<v Speaker 1>a talent like that, right, don't let him play the
<v Speaker 1>street And there's not enough jokes bouncing off of him
<v Speaker 1>to make it worthwhile, especially when Yeah, he's supposed to
<v Speaker 1>be Lessard's brother, so you would hope he would be
<v Speaker 1>something similar.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think I'm just kind of covered my issues here.
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to belabor it. This was not
<v Speaker 2>my cup of tea. I just didn't care for it.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think it was a good movie. It felt aimless.
<v Speaker 2>It was a comedy in the wrong hands, it felt like,
<v Speaker 2>and going over the research on some of the trivia
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes, it does, you know, and then thinking
<v Speaker 2>about the film, you could say some of these people
<v Speaker 2>involved were going through the motions for a paycheck. Possibly,
<v Speaker 2>But usually I'm happy to see an eighties comedy that's
<v Speaker 2>under an hour and a half. It was a great
<v Speaker 2>time for that sort of thing. They usually they can
<v Speaker 2>work very well, but this felt like it was filled
<v Speaker 2>with filler. Like you said, it's a series of scenes.
<v Speaker 2>It was missing a little of the edge the first
<v Speaker 2>one had for me, and the first one I'm all
<v Speaker 2>good with being irreverently funny, but for me that just
<v Speaker 2>the payoffs weren't there. For the first film, I laughed
<v Speaker 2>out loud for a few times, and not even George Gaines,
<v Speaker 2>who is in this returning his commandant Eric Lisard, he
<v Speaker 2>didn't even make me laugh in this. Something was off
<v Speaker 2>and I just didn't laugh out loud once during this watch,
<v Speaker 2>and so I was surprised by that. That's I'll just
<v Speaker 2>leave it at that.
<v Speaker 1>I would say the first two acts, like I said,
<v Speaker 1>even though it's just a bunch of mignantes that are
<v Speaker 1>strung together, I did enjoy it because I like the characters.
<v Speaker 1>I like the situations they were put in, and sometimes
<v Speaker 1>it made me smile, sometimes it made me chuckle. But
<v Speaker 1>once the third act kicked in, once Mahony gets suspended
<v Speaker 1>and they do the whole undercover m hm, it falls
<v Speaker 1>off a press offense. Yes, that third act is terrible. Okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>him trying to play the gang member. No one's going
<v Speaker 1>to buy your crap whatsoever. I understand you're trying to
<v Speaker 1>be funny, you're trying to stereotype a gang member, but
<v Speaker 1>that was not working at all. I think the only
<v Speaker 1>part that was funny was when Jones shows up, Mahony
<v Speaker 1>starts making him kick his partner because his partner's racist.
<v Speaker 1>But then after that, that's a slog to get through. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I only like the setting, that's all. I like the setting.
<v Speaker 1>The fact they were at the old Zoo. I was like,
<v Speaker 1>all right, that's kind of cool.
<v Speaker 2>I actually wrote that down too, But that kind of
<v Speaker 2>underground layer for the bad guys. Yeah, it reminded me
<v Speaker 2>of The Lost Boys a little bit. Actually, that kind
<v Speaker 2>of cave atmosphere. I think the last yeah, twenty five
<v Speaker 2>minutes are rough, there's barely any laughs. It doesn't work
<v Speaker 2>at all. Yeah, but I think I enjoyed the first
<v Speaker 2>first two thirds of it. I like that one and
<v Speaker 2>two three was just bad. Okay, you're finding something in it,
<v Speaker 2>you're getting something out of it. That's great. It was
<v Speaker 2>interesting when when Gutenberg goes undercover there it becomes part
<v Speaker 2>of the gang. I looked at the clocket, there's twenty
<v Speaker 2>minutes left in the movie. I'm like, Oh, we're just
<v Speaker 2>getting into an actual story here, or you know, because
<v Speaker 2>I was wondering the whole movie is like the loose
<v Speaker 2>framework we have is that this gang is overrunning the
<v Speaker 2>sixteenth Precinct. And we were like, when are our new recruits,
<v Speaker 2>are our cast of characters that we've grown to love,
<v Speaker 2>when are they going to start kicking butt and start
<v Speaker 2>going after this gang and get infiltrateed and or eradicate it.
<v Speaker 2>And things don't get really moving in that direction till
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes left in the movie. I'm like, oh, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>now stuff's happening, gotcha.
<v Speaker 1>Right, And that's what we don't want it to happen
<v Speaker 1>because it's not well written. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, it's
<v Speaker 1>move on to favorite scenes or moments. So Jason, do
<v Speaker 1>you actually have any kind of favorite scener moment in
<v Speaker 1>this movie you can share with us?
<v Speaker 2>You know, I do. I do, so I apologize to
<v Speaker 2>the listeners anyone that and I totally understand if you
<v Speaker 2>have a nostalgic attachment to the series of films. This franchise,
<v Speaker 2>I know, holds a place in a lot of people's hearts.
<v Speaker 2>And I am not going to be a Debbie Downer here.
<v Speaker 2>I actually find Bill's review is very infectious and he
<v Speaker 2>may actually sway me, and that might happen as we
<v Speaker 2>discuss our favorite scenes, because then I look back, I go,
<v Speaker 2>oh wait, I'm talking about these moments. Actually I did
<v Speaker 2>enjoy or I did smile during some of these scenes
<v Speaker 2>and or moments, and I was maybe laughing on the inside.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm starting in the beginning with the series of
<v Speaker 2>scenes right after that the credit sequence in the beginning
<v Speaker 2>where we are reintroduced to our characters from the first film,
<v Speaker 2>and we see the sequence of the quote unquote where
<v Speaker 2>are they now? And we see Tackle Berry basically being
<v Speaker 2>he's like a crossing guard outside of a grade school,
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming, and this is wonderful because a car pulls
<v Speaker 2>up in front of the school and it's a mother
<v Speaker 2>and son, and the mother's trying to is it a mother?
<v Speaker 2>Is it mom and son? I think it is yes.
<v Speaker 2>I think it is yes. And we recognize them immediately
<v Speaker 2>as both of them were Hey, it's that actors in
<v Speaker 2>previous episodes of the All Eighties Movies Podcast. Yep. Mom
<v Speaker 2>in Mercedes, as she's credit, is played by Lucy Lee Flippan,
<v Speaker 2>and I have to insist at this point of course,
<v Speaker 2>for Bill Bant to do the impression of her from
<v Speaker 2>Summer School is that your blood. You can barely do
<v Speaker 2>it without laughing. That's great. Oh, it's one of my
<v Speaker 2>favorite impersonations of all time. And I remember we saw
<v Speaker 2>her too in Flash Dance as a secretary. Yes, so
<v Speaker 2>she's credited as Mom and Mercedes and her son, who's
<v Speaker 2>credited as Bratt, is played by Jason Hervey, who's in
<v Speaker 2>a handful of eighties bangers, one of them being Back
<v Speaker 2>to the Future, and that's where I had put him
<v Speaker 2>down as our Hay, it's that actor. So it's good
<v Speaker 2>to see these familiar faces. And Yes, as the mother,
<v Speaker 2>she's dealing with this Brady kid. He won't get out
<v Speaker 2>of the car. He doesn't want to go to school,
<v Speaker 2>so she gets out and approaches Tackleberry. And it's funny
<v Speaker 2>because it's tackle Berry. He's over the top and you
<v Speaker 2>know he's going to pull out a huge gun or
<v Speaker 2>some sort of weapon, and sure enough, he's doing the
<v Speaker 2>scale straight act here with this kid asks him to
<v Speaker 2>get out of the car, won't get out, and then
<v Speaker 2>he pulls out is I don't even know. It looks
<v Speaker 2>like a giant pistol slash flare gun, but it releases
<v Speaker 2>like a smoke bomb inside. So he shoots out the
<v Speaker 2>back window of the car. It might be tear gas,
<v Speaker 2>and the whole car fills with Yeah, let's go with
<v Speaker 2>that tear gas and the kid has to get out
<v Speaker 2>and go to school. It's so extreme. It's like, yep,
<v Speaker 2>that's Tackleberry. Here we go. It was funny. I love
<v Speaker 2>that stuff.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anytime you got Tackleberry pulling out weapons puts the
<v Speaker 1>spot in my face that man loves his guns and weapons.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>And I can't believe kid calls his mom bird face
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, whoa bird face?
<v Speaker 2>Man? That's rough you think about it too. It's just
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Tackleberry has a weapon like that on
<v Speaker 2>him outside of a grade school and it's just blasting
<v Speaker 2>into the back of this woman's car prepared. I like
<v Speaker 2>it for everything.
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite scenes, and I think it's one
<v Speaker 1>of the more memorable scenes of the movie, is when
<v Speaker 1>they end up gluing Mauser's hair. So of course Mauser's
<v Speaker 1>given the new recruits a hard time, and of course
<v Speaker 1>Mahoney and that's not the right person you want to cross.
<v Speaker 1>And they're in the locker room and Mauser goes take
<v Speaker 1>a shower and tacker Berry has the glue. It's a
<v Speaker 1>POxy that he's using it to fix his helmet, and
<v Speaker 1>Mahoney uses it to replace with the shampoo, and then
<v Speaker 1>Mauser basically washes his hair with the glue and then
<v Speaker 1>gets his hands stuck and then he can't get his
<v Speaker 1>hands out of his hair, and then he's walking around
<v Speaker 1>the precinct and naked, and then the fact Proctor has
<v Speaker 1>to cut his hands off his head right, and then
<v Speaker 1>he's got like the hairy palms and they have little
<v Speaker 1>running gag. I'd like that scene as a kid. I
<v Speaker 1>still like that. Now it's an adult, I get it.
<v Speaker 1>I get it a little.
<v Speaker 2>It made me think of Private Benjamin too, and you
<v Speaker 2>can think of films with the shower pranks, right, it's
<v Speaker 2>always a thing. And the part when Proctor is cutting
<v Speaker 2>his hands free from the hair and then Mauser wants
<v Speaker 2>to see what he looks like in the mirror, and
<v Speaker 2>doctor keeps moving the mirror around his head so you
<v Speaker 2>can't get a clear look at it. It's like, look
<v Speaker 2>from this thing, it looked good. Over here, it looks great.
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty funny, which actually is a good segue into
<v Speaker 2>my next favorite moment. It's just actually a very brief
<v Speaker 2>scene between Mauser and Proctor once again. And I had
<v Speaker 2>mentioned I appreciated Lancekinzi as Proctor in this because he
<v Speaker 2>just plays an idiot really, really well. So it's now
<v Speaker 2>we have our new recruits that have been brought into
<v Speaker 2>the sixteenth Precinct to help save the day and help
<v Speaker 2>this area of town get cleaned up from the evil
<v Speaker 2>gang element. And Mauser doesn't want this to happen because
<v Speaker 2>he knows he made a deal with the Chief of
<v Speaker 2>Police that if the Captain Lassard isn't able to do
<v Speaker 2>this with these new recruits, then he can take over
<v Speaker 2>as captain. And he has this little conversation off to
<v Speaker 2>the side with Proctor, And there's some fun lines here
<v Speaker 2>where Mauser says to Proctor, so these academy rats are
<v Speaker 2>going to save the precinct on like, yeah, personally, Lieutenant,
<v Speaker 2>I hope they fall flat on their asses and he
<v Speaker 2>Mouser says that can be arranged, you know, and Practic's like,
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean? And Maser says, well, if they fail,
<v Speaker 2>I take over as commander of the precinct. And Maser says,
<v Speaker 2>so we make sure they fail, and Proctor's like, who
<v Speaker 2>mass like the new recruits. Practice says why. Mouser says,
<v Speaker 2>if they fail, Lisard's out and I'm in. I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>need somebody to be in the new watch commander, and
<v Speaker 2>you know who that's going to be. Practor says who
<v Speaker 2>just says you dickhead. You Practor responds, oh, oh, well,
<v Speaker 2>good idea, and Maser said, you're you're not playing with
<v Speaker 2>a full deck, are you. Proctor says, oh, I don't
<v Speaker 2>play cards. It's so stupid. But that was a moment
<v Speaker 2>where I thought the writing came through. So I appreciated
<v Speaker 2>that because I thought that was some fun play on words.
<v Speaker 2>In the way that Lance Kinsey plays it, He's just
<v Speaker 2>so oblivious. It's fun.
<v Speaker 1>I did laugh out loud. He's like, you dickhead. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I guess just suffers from short term memory loss or something.
<v Speaker 2>Sure.
<v Speaker 1>Another favorite scene for me, we have to have something
<v Speaker 1>with Michael Winslow and that's the karate scene.
<v Speaker 2>Good call. Heck yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So the gang, the Scallions whatever they're called the Scullions,
<v Speaker 1>they're hitting up a grocery guy for protection money and
<v Speaker 1>Jones comes across this and there's a fence to the
<v Speaker 1>back of his shop, and he basically jumps over the
<v Speaker 1>fence and then does this whole karate routine. He's even
<v Speaker 1>dubbing his voice like you'd be watching it on Kunk
<v Speaker 1>Fu Theater on Saturday afternoons. That's what they used to
<v Speaker 1>have one in Philadelphia Kunk Fu Theater where his mouth
<v Speaker 1>would be moving, but then the voice doesn't quite match.
<v Speaker 1>Just all the punches and then I definitely had a
<v Speaker 1>Mandela effect because I thought there was more than two
<v Speaker 1>gang members, which I would have loved that there was
<v Speaker 1>if there was like three or four. And then Jones
<v Speaker 1>just kicks the crap out of him with karate and
<v Speaker 1>the wonderful help of a stuntman who's very obvious in
<v Speaker 1>a couple of the scenes. Yeah, the fact that he's
<v Speaker 1>just doing all the sound effects throughout that scene hilarious.
<v Speaker 1>I remember as a kid when it came on cable
<v Speaker 1>and I recorded the movie. I would watch that scene
<v Speaker 1>over and over and over again. I love it so much,
<v Speaker 1>and it was still funny to me to this day.
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't agree more understood. It's great Michael Winslow, what
<v Speaker 2>a pleasure. Spaceballs this. Anytime he shows up, you just
<v Speaker 2>want him to do the effects, and he comes through
<v Speaker 2>every time, and he shines in this movie. They give
<v Speaker 2>him a lot to do with that. I thought the
<v Speaker 2>first when we were reintroduced to his character in the
<v Speaker 2>very beginning, it's like at a food court and a
<v Speaker 2>mall and the two yuppies sit down next to him
<v Speaker 2>and he's doing them off to the effects, right off
<v Speaker 2>to the side. That was a little weird for me
<v Speaker 2>because obviously know that the sound isn't coming from the
<v Speaker 2>other person, it's coming from off the side. That was
<v Speaker 2>weird and it just didn't totally agree into the But
<v Speaker 2>then later on, like when Mausers given his speech in
<v Speaker 2>front of the new recruits, three bad reports and you're
<v Speaker 2>suspended so you better act right when you're out there
<v Speaker 2>on representing us on the streets and Winslow does the
<v Speaker 2>alarm sound effect from his phone like stuff like that.
<v Speaker 2>Love it any machine. When he's on the megaphone at
<v Speaker 2>the end doing.
<v Speaker 1>That's true, that is a highlight for the third act.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what I want to see. But when you're
<v Speaker 2>talking about this particular scene that you enjoy so much
<v Speaker 2>and you rewatch so much because he combines so many
<v Speaker 2>things and it makes it believable and you know exactly
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing when you said that, when he's doing
<v Speaker 2>the like the voice dubbing, when he's moving his mouth
<v Speaker 2>and nothing's happened, and then you hear the lines in English.
<v Speaker 2>I can't get enough of that. I wish you would
<v Speaker 2>just do that throughout the whole movie. I think exactly.
<v Speaker 2>Guess that's what they those movies were like back then.
<v Speaker 2>They just they never matched the dubbing with the ADR correctly.
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, great stuff. That's a good call.
<v Speaker 1>But thanks for pointing out another highlight of the third
<v Speaker 1>act that is hilarious when his on the megaphone because
<v Speaker 1>it sounds realistic because if you're a gang member and
<v Speaker 1>he's doing all those sounds and they're like, holy shit,
<v Speaker 1>helicopters are coming in. More cops are going yep, totally
<v Speaker 1>would fool them. That was almost realistic and realistically funny.
<v Speaker 2>He was doing different types of gun effects and then
<v Speaker 2>the helicopter effect and the voices of the people.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, more sirens coming in. Yeah that was good.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, absolutely, all right. Well, you know what, it
<v Speaker 2>is definitely good to see the Blue Oyster Bar again
<v Speaker 2>in this movie. You knew they would return to it
<v Speaker 2>because it was gold in the first film. I was
<v Speaker 2>mixed on this, however, but I just had to mention
<v Speaker 2>it here. I want to be positive because in this particular,
<v Speaker 2>see Tim Kazarinski is as sweet Chuck has a broken
<v Speaker 2>arm and his arm is propped up in a cast.
<v Speaker 2>So when he goes running into the Blue ser Bar,
<v Speaker 2>he's totally ready. Like one of the bikers sees, oh,
<v Speaker 2>this guy's ready to dance, so he just grabs him
<v Speaker 2>by the arm and starts dancing with him. And I'm like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>let's go. It's hilarious. All the gay bikers in the
<v Speaker 2>gay bar. It's just a lot of fun. But it
<v Speaker 2>was missing the classic music. I was missing the song
<v Speaker 2>I sing the song Bill, how does come on? How
<v Speaker 2>do you not use? I wonder if there was a
<v Speaker 2>licensing issue or something, But yeah, I really missed the song,
<v Speaker 2>and I wished there was more of it like this.
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't mind if they kept returning to I understand
<v Speaker 2>it's a joke from the first film, but I was thinking,
<v Speaker 2>Bill Bant, that you could have given some of the
<v Speaker 2>gay bikers a bigger role in this. They could have
<v Speaker 2>come through, like at the end to come help, Like
<v Speaker 2>maybe they had a crush on High Tower, which it
<v Speaker 2>seems like they do at the end of that scene actually,
<v Speaker 2>and they come to help him save the day and
<v Speaker 2>fight the gang at the end. I thought that would
<v Speaker 2>have been a lot of fun. I would have liked
<v Speaker 2>to see more more of those guys.
<v Speaker 1>Well, even like the whole way that sweet Chuck gets
<v Speaker 1>in trouble because he has that cast and he just
<v Speaker 1>goes to turn and accidentally punches one of the gang
<v Speaker 1>members in the face, and then he's got to run off. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and then that ends up at the Blue Oyster Bar.
<v Speaker 1>Who practor almost knows the address too if you do
<v Speaker 1>realize that the address he rattles off is not the
<v Speaker 1>same as on the door, so I think he says
<v Speaker 1>six twenty one, six thirty one and the Blues fifty five.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good catch. Okay, that's paying attention for you, folks.
<v Speaker 1>So another favorite moment of mine is the only one
<v Speaker 1>that really gets any kind of story in this is
<v Speaker 1>Tackleberry and Tackle Berry's assigned his motorcycle cop. His partner
<v Speaker 1>is a woman, and he does not like that at all.
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's the man's man with his guns. But
<v Speaker 1>luckily his partner played by Colleen Camp is also a
<v Speaker 1>big fan of guns, and they fall in love, and
<v Speaker 1>they go on their first date and Kirklin invites him
<v Speaker 1>in and they tackle Berry is about to lose his virginity,
<v Speaker 1>we find out, and they have a scene where they're
<v Speaker 1>taking off their clothes, but then they're pulling out guns
<v Speaker 1>and weapons left and right, and I thought that was
<v Speaker 1>just kind of funny. It's over the top. But because
<v Speaker 1>of the way tackle Berry is, this is so him.
<v Speaker 1>I could see him bringing six weapons with him on
<v Speaker 1>a date, so there's no surprise they were pulling all
<v Speaker 1>this stuff out and it amos seems like they were
<v Speaker 1>trying to up each other on pulling out weapons. Kirklin's
<v Speaker 1>pulling a gun from her bra but then the lights
<v Speaker 1>go out and the gun goes off and right yea,
<v Speaker 1>Kirkland says something innuendous. Yeah, it was good to see
<v Speaker 1>Tackleberry find a mate. Yeah, absolutely, find the one that
<v Speaker 1>is meant for him. I have to admit now that
<v Speaker 1>you describe it that it was amusing and it is
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch that relationship develop. It's nice to see
<v Speaker 1>tackle Berry find his match. And I was just hoping
<v Speaker 1>for more actually throughout the sequence when you see them
<v Speaker 1>go on this date, I wanted more of the gun play,
<v Speaker 1>you know what it makes me think, I maybe I
<v Speaker 1>wished it had been a little bit more along the
<v Speaker 1>lines of the sequence in Naked Gun between Priscilla Presley
<v Speaker 1>and Leslie Nielsen when they go on their date and
<v Speaker 1>they just do all these goofy things that are over
<v Speaker 1>the top and they're laughing as they come out of
<v Speaker 1>platoon and things like that, and so here I thought
<v Speaker 1>maybe they went to a gun range together or something
<v Speaker 1>like that, and they were shooting off million different webs
<v Speaker 1>just throughout the date. Because the date seems so simple
<v Speaker 1>and straightforward romance, and then it gets to the goofy
<v Speaker 1>stuff at the in the bedroom with all the guns
<v Speaker 1>coming out, and if this was my first time seeing it,
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have found it funnier. But I think
<v Speaker 1>there's even a scene like this in the film in
<v Speaker 1>the Line of Fire with Eastwood and Renee Russo, where
<v Speaker 1>it's similar where they're throwing all of their weapons down
<v Speaker 1>onto the ground as they're getting into bed, which is
<v Speaker 1>so maybe I've just seen this a couple times in
<v Speaker 1>other films, but it's still fun I can't deny that
<v Speaker 1>with the gun shot going off was funny at the.
<v Speaker 2>End in the dark.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but actually I do like some of your ideas.
<v Speaker 1>They're pulling out the guns and then they're describing them
<v Speaker 1>and it's getting them more excited. So they almost want
<v Speaker 1>to really take off each other's clothes because they want
<v Speaker 1>to find out what their weapons they.
<v Speaker 2>Have on them. Oh that would be there, you go,
<v Speaker 2>that's funnier. This is where I got frustrated. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>returned to that word because it's like, oh, there is
<v Speaker 2>some gold here. They just didn't mind it proper. There's
<v Speaker 2>they had to set up or they have a situation,
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't go deeper. They just went with the
<v Speaker 2>surface joke. So that's my deal.
<v Speaker 1>One last thing. It's not necessarily a favorite scene or moment,
<v Speaker 1>but it's just very memorable of me. I'll never forget this.
<v Speaker 1>And it took me a long time to eat rice
<v Speaker 1>crispies after watching this movie.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, here we go.
<v Speaker 1>And that's when Mahony meets his new partner, Vinnie Stoltzmann,
<v Speaker 1>who's an absolute slob. And Mahony goes to his apartment
<v Speaker 1>and it's a hell hole and he's like, oh, can
<v Speaker 1>I eat breakfast before we go? And Mony's like, yeah, sure,
<v Speaker 1>and he picks up the bowl of cereal and he
<v Speaker 1>looks down at it and he's like disappointed, and then
<v Speaker 1>he spoons and starts yelling at his cat and goes
<v Speaker 1>in the letter box and then flicks his cereal across
<v Speaker 1>the room. That still makes me gag. I'm like, there's
<v Speaker 1>no way I'm ever going to get a cat. Yeap
<v Speaker 1>who roast as hell? I couldn't agree more. This is
<v Speaker 1>where I found some of these scenes just to be
<v Speaker 1>gross for gross sakes, and that's why I didn't work
<v Speaker 1>for me. It wasn't as funny that was one of
<v Speaker 1>the moments, but it is effective, that's for sure. And
<v Speaker 1>if you've ever known anyone like I do that owns
<v Speaker 1>a cat and she has a cat that is very
<v Speaker 1>well behaved and goes in the litter box is great,
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't actually smell the entire place, which is nice.
<v Speaker 1>But that first wave after the cat does his business
<v Speaker 1>in the litter box is brutal. When he was eating
<v Speaker 1>that out of the cereal, I was like, this is
<v Speaker 1>that's absolutely disgusting.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. And that was another way I almost
<v Speaker 2>had a it's not a major, this is a super
<v Speaker 2>nitpicky complaint, but with that character's name in the first place,
<v Speaker 2>because you said it and I couldn't remember his name,
<v Speaker 2>and I had to look at the cast list here
<v Speaker 2>and it's Officer Vinnie Stollman Stole and it's such a
<v Speaker 2>weird name and hard to say and hard to remember.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what is that name?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I thought he was okay, and I did kind
<v Speaker 1>of find it funny when he finds, oh god, the
<v Speaker 1>promo for Nessli Crunch, I mean basically just only bitt
<v Speaker 1>It's like, it's kind of ants, this is wiping them off.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>So let's move on to our Swiss cheese and complaint department,
<v Speaker 1>And why do we call it Swiss cheese.
<v Speaker 2>Because although this movie is delicious, it does have your
<v Speaker 2>choose your tackleberry gun holes.
<v Speaker 1>Right if it doesn't have your choose your tackleberry gun holes,
<v Speaker 1>we just final complaint with the complaint department. Jason, what
<v Speaker 1>do you have left for complaints that you could share
<v Speaker 1>with our audience.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just a structural issue. I think there's just
<v Speaker 2>a framework, lack of story overall, the kind of thing
<v Speaker 2>which again we know what this is, the kind of
<v Speaker 2>comedy it is, but it then when they try to
<v Speaker 2>put a story into it, it feels jarring. It's forty
<v Speaker 2>five minutes into this film and our new recruits are
<v Speaker 2>graduating class have done absolutely nothing to stop any crime
<v Speaker 2>at all, apprehend any gang members until Captain Lassard played
<v Speaker 2>by Hard Hessman gets graffitied, which was an odd scene
<v Speaker 2>as well, when Lassard goes down the alley to take
<v Speaker 2>on the gang members on his own and then gets
<v Speaker 2>out number of course, and it comes back to the
<v Speaker 2>precinct and he's got graffiti all of them, and then
<v Speaker 2>it's like he does the raw ross speech, let's go
<v Speaker 2>get him. Wait a minute, we're halfway through the movie.
<v Speaker 2>What now we're It was odd to me, So that's
<v Speaker 2>just an overall.
<v Speaker 1>Issue I had there you go. One for me was
<v Speaker 1>Mahoney's intro scene in this movie. I mean, you look
<v Speaker 1>back on police Academy and then he was is the
<v Speaker 1>car valet and he does the thing with the guy's
<v Speaker 1>car and he puts it on two wheels and then
<v Speaker 1>parks it right. And then for this one, okay, it
<v Speaker 1>opens up on the beach and he's beach patrol. I'm like, okay, perfect,
<v Speaker 1>this is definitely something Mahoney would want to do to
<v Speaker 1>work on the beach. But then we have the truck
<v Speaker 1>that's zipping around the beach pulls up to Mahoney. Mahoney
<v Speaker 1>knows the guy mm hmm. And then the guy drives
<v Speaker 1>off and there's like a really bad chase scene where
<v Speaker 1>you almost think Mahoney's gonna get killed because it looks
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna flip over his bike a couple of times.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, wait, you know this guy. Two of the
<v Speaker 1>accomplices got off the truck. That didn't work for me
<v Speaker 1>at all.
<v Speaker 2>It's weird. Once they start the chase, it gets weird.
<v Speaker 2>There's a quick cut where you can see it's clearly
<v Speaker 2>not Gutenberg on the four wheeler. It's a stunt man.
<v Speaker 2>And then that chase is like, okay, now they're cruising
<v Speaker 2>down the beach, which can be fun, but then it's
<v Speaker 2>just jarring at the end when all of a sudden
<v Speaker 2>the truck goes flying off the edge of a pier
<v Speaker 2>or rocky cliff, whatever that was, because you didn't see
<v Speaker 2>from it. The perspective is not filmed correctly where you
<v Speaker 2>didn't see that coming at all at the end of
<v Speaker 2>this beach, which is part of a vast ocean on
<v Speaker 2>the other and then all of a sudden he's going
<v Speaker 2>off of the side of a wall into the water,
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, did he just go flying into a
<v Speaker 2>totally different location into a lake somewhere.
<v Speaker 1>That's how it felt. It was a weird ending to that,
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that he knows the guy. Does he
<v Speaker 1>do this all the time? Is this a recurring thing
<v Speaker 1>where here comes Tim in his truck and choose up
<v Speaker 1>the beach and.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe have a chat with this guy if he's
<v Speaker 2>your buddy.
<v Speaker 1>But he looks like a dork at least look like
<v Speaker 1>a tough guy or something, right.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just weird. That's a good one, as to
<v Speaker 2>be expected. This was the eighties, of course, and we
<v Speaker 2>always say this, that's no excuse, but this is what
<v Speaker 2>was happening during the time, and there's some geislers, you know,
<v Speaker 2>some racial stuff going on in here, and some jokes
<v Speaker 2>and things, and probably would not fly today they were
<v Speaker 2>to remake this, they would not be putting that in there,
<v Speaker 2>So that's just to be noted. I think the only
<v Speaker 2>other thing I had Bill Bant was I had an
<v Speaker 2>issue the full body cavity search joke didn't work for
<v Speaker 2>me in this because it just didn't make any sense.
<v Speaker 2>I understood that it was another prank that Mahoney was
<v Speaker 2>playing a Mauser. Great, but then to bring the nurse
<v Speaker 2>into the locker room and single out Mauser and then
<v Speaker 2>she was just going to go they just grab him
<v Speaker 2>and violate him. Basically, didn't feel like there was any
<v Speaker 2>proper procedure here. It wasn't as if Mahony framed Mauser
<v Speaker 2>as like a bad guy or a purp or something
<v Speaker 2>like that. It was just right there in the locker room.
<v Speaker 2>It just didn't feel like that would I understand. Suspension
<v Speaker 2>of disbelief kind of goes out with the window with
<v Speaker 2>this type of movie, but it didn't pay off. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>What I find weird about that also is there's all
<v Speaker 1>the hustle and bustle going on the pre suit and
<v Speaker 1>then Mahoney says to keptain Lessard he wants him to
<v Speaker 1>sign something, and he asked what it is. He's like, oh, body,
<v Speaker 1>Cavary search right, and you almost could miss it. And
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden we come to the scene
<v Speaker 1>with Malser getting it and you're like, where's this coming from.
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh, they kind of set it up earlier,
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't really set it up.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>You like that Mauser is getting come uppance, but this
<v Speaker 1>set yeah, setup is not good at all.
<v Speaker 2>I agree with that.
<v Speaker 1>That's all I got my last one. Then I found
<v Speaker 1>this really weird. So after they arrest all the people
<v Speaker 1>and supposedly none of the arrest stick, which doesn't make
<v Speaker 1>sense to me either, because all the rookies do have
<v Speaker 1>a season officer with them, so you think they would
<v Speaker 1>go through the procedure to at least arrest these people properly.
<v Speaker 1>But Lazard knows he's screwed and he's gonna lose his captainship.
<v Speaker 1>So that's when they've decided to put on the fair
<v Speaker 1>to try to get the neighborhood back. All right, good idea.
<v Speaker 1>So during the fair, the gang shows up and they
<v Speaker 1>have the scene where they're talking about the fair and
<v Speaker 1>the rides and stuff. Jason, they are only a half
<v Speaker 1>a block away from the fair. They're supposed to be
<v Speaker 1>police all around. How do they not see, Hey, that's
<v Speaker 1>the Scullions right there, right. They get totally taken by surprise.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize how close they were after they finished
<v Speaker 1>the conversation. They walked proximity. It walked five steps, and
<v Speaker 1>then they're right in the middle of the fair.
<v Speaker 2>Right. It's like, I think somebody would have noticed this
<v Speaker 2>whole this entire gang forming at the edge of the crowd.
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing is the city's being overrun. You would
<v Speaker 1>have some massive police protection for this fair. Yeah, that's
<v Speaker 1>a great call. That's just a logical thought process there.
<v Speaker 1>It's that did make me smile, I will admit. When
<v Speaker 1>Bobcat is explaining why he doesn't want to go onto
<v Speaker 1>the is it the ferris wheel?
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Or that because he gets sick, And then he's like, okay,
<v Speaker 2>well if you go with me, I'll go on it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've barely talked about him in this and yeah,
<v Speaker 1>oh man, he choose up the scenes, that's for sure.
<v Speaker 1>He was certainly memorable. Oh he's going for it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I never forgot who he was after watching this movie.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I mean they gave him that entire sequence
<v Speaker 2>in the grocery store is so wild, and they just
<v Speaker 2>let him, let him go for it.
<v Speaker 1>I would say he's a highlight in this I would agree.
<v Speaker 2>I would agree. Hey, I didn't mind him at all,
<v Speaker 2>Like he's he's doing his job. And if you like
<v Speaker 2>his style of comedy exactly, if you do it works,
<v Speaker 2>he's a kookie. If not, yeah, it could be grating.
<v Speaker 1>M Okay, let's move on to Hey, it's that actor.
<v Speaker 1>So in this segment, we spotlight a character actor you
<v Speaker 1>have seen in many other films, an actor making their
<v Speaker 1>big screen debut, or an actor it makes an uncredited cameo.
<v Speaker 1>It's hey, it's an actor. Who do we choose this week?
<v Speaker 2>All right? This week we chose for our Hey, it's
<v Speaker 2>that actor Rich Hall, who is uncredited as a street punk.
<v Speaker 2>That's Rich Hall. He caught my eye. I didn't recognize him.
<v Speaker 2>At first, I admit, but when going through the cast
<v Speaker 2>list and seeing his name and picture, I knew it
<v Speaker 2>was him, and yeah. Rich Hall is known for his
<v Speaker 2>sour expression, graouci demeanor, cantankerous, gravelly voice. He's an American comedian, writer, director, actor,
<v Speaker 2>and musician. He came to prominence as a sketch comedian
<v Speaker 2>in the nineteen eighties. This is from IMDb. He both
<v Speaker 2>wrote and acted in these sketch comedies. So I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to get into his eighties resume here. He was on
<v Speaker 2>a show called Fridays. This was similar to Saturday Night Live.
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you, Bill, you're nodding your
<v Speaker 2>head as if you had seen this. I was not familiar.
<v Speaker 2>But Michael Richards was on this show, as well as
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Maller, who plays Fackler in Police Academy.
<v Speaker 1>Just recently came on streaming, so I have seen a
<v Speaker 1>couple of up. Did not know of it at the
<v Speaker 1>time when it came out. It's only been recent that
<v Speaker 1>I've I've heard about it and had been watching an
<v Speaker 1>episode here though. It's okay, yeah, okay, Well, rich Hall
<v Speaker 1>was in nineteen episodes of that from eighty one to
<v Speaker 1>eighty two. He did end up playing various characters on
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night Live in sixteen episodes from eighty four to
<v Speaker 1>eighty five. He was the character Wilbur in One Crazy
<v Speaker 1>Summer from eighty six, which we covered on this very podcast.
<v Speaker 1>He did some episodic TV after that, and he was
<v Speaker 1>in another classic sequel, Chud two Bud.
<v Speaker 2>The Chud in nineteen eighty nine. But those of us
<v Speaker 2>familiar with eighties pop culture. Fans of the eighties would
<v Speaker 2>know Rich Hall for his part playing himself in the
<v Speaker 2>HBO TV series Not Necessarily The News. He was in
<v Speaker 2>fifty three episodes from nineteen eighty two to nineteen ninety
<v Speaker 2>He as an actor, he would go on to do
<v Speaker 2>more small parts TV movies episodic TV. He most recently
<v Speaker 2>was the character Roberts in the twenty twenty five reboot
<v Speaker 2>of The Running Man Just Crazy to Go Back. Now,
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't remember that character, so I gotta
<v Speaker 2>think about that one. Yeah. And then throughout the twenty
<v Speaker 2>ten's he wrote a series of documentary commentary like type
<v Speaker 2>TV movies, such as Rich Hall's You Can Go to Hell,
<v Speaker 2>I'm Going to Texas and Rich Hall's California Stars and
<v Speaker 2>rich Hall's Presidential grudge Match and a few more of those,
<v Speaker 2>ending with rich Hall's Red Menace in twenty nineteen Little Trivia.
<v Speaker 2>He was partly the inspiration for the character of Moe
<v Speaker 2>in The Simpsons, and rich Hall is credited with inventing
<v Speaker 2>the word yes, that's what I know him for go
<v Speaker 2>you were waiting for me to get to that. A
<v Speaker 2>snigglet is defined as a word that should be in
<v Speaker 2>the dictionary but isn't. Sniggleets were popularized during the eighties
<v Speaker 2>on that HBO series I mentioned not necessarily the news.
<v Speaker 2>He was a regular cast member of the show, of course,
<v Speaker 2>and had that regular segment on sniggelets during each episode
<v Speaker 2>of the monthly series, rich Hall is our it'es.
<v Speaker 1>That act the one snigglet. I always remember the description.
<v Speaker 1>I wish I knew what it was. Is when you
<v Speaker 1>open a catch up top and there's like dried catch
<v Speaker 1>up And he had a name for it, and I
<v Speaker 1>can't remember what it was. But every time I opened ketchup,
<v Speaker 1>I always think of stinklets. Why don't I look up
<v Speaker 1>and find out.
<v Speaker 2>What that word is. That's amazing. I was a fan
<v Speaker 2>of that show. I was to watch that a lot.
<v Speaker 2>There was a good one and I remember him from
<v Speaker 2>that This sniglets were great. I wonder I'm sure you
<v Speaker 2>could look it up to find Yeah, I'm gonna have to.
<v Speaker 2>That would be fun to do. By the time, move
<v Speaker 2>on to facts and trivia. What are some facts in
<v Speaker 2>trivia we have about Police Academy to their first assignment. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>here we go the first assignment. The first film Police
<v Speaker 2>Academy had cost four point eight million, but the second
<v Speaker 2>was seven point five million. Producer Paul Maslansky said the
<v Speaker 2>difference was due to filming in Los Angeles rather than
<v Speaker 2>Toronto as in the original quote. Shooting in Los Angeles
<v Speaker 2>is expensive, he said, not because of the city officials.
<v Speaker 2>They provide every cooperation. It's the merchants and the property
<v Speaker 2>owners who can really hit you. There's so much filming
<v Speaker 2>going on that they ask a lot of money for
<v Speaker 2>location sites, parking, et cetera. Mislansky also said, naturally the
<v Speaker 2>actors wanted more money to do the sequel of the
<v Speaker 2>line or principal talent costs are about a million and
<v Speaker 2>a half and that includes my own fee. He added,
<v Speaker 2>we lost some time because I had to change directors
<v Speaker 2>after a couple of weeks, but Jerry Parris has done
<v Speaker 2>a great job of catching up.
<v Speaker 1>Well there you go. Yes, I did say the viewing
<v Speaker 1>of our episode that Jerry Paris was the director of
<v Speaker 1>Police Economy two, but he was not the first director.
<v Speaker 1>That would be James Signorelli, who was fired for Police
<v Speaker 1>Economy two the first assignment, after three weeks of filming,
<v Speaker 1>due to creative differences and concerns that his according to
<v Speaker 1>producer Paul Maslansky, was too edgy and it did not
<v Speaker 1>match the franchise's tone, so he was replaced by Jerry Parris,
<v Speaker 1>and much of Signorelli's footage was reshot. Producer Paul Maslanski
<v Speaker 1>stated that he classed with Signarelli, claiming the director had
<v Speaker 1>not seen the original film and they had a physical fight.
<v Speaker 2>Or the direction of the movie. Well, here we go
<v Speaker 2>a little more of this. According to Bubba Smith, he
<v Speaker 2>made more money from his work on the film alone
<v Speaker 2>than he had earned in ten years of playing professional football.
<v Speaker 2>This was due to Bubba having requested a two percent
<v Speaker 2>piece of the movie's profits in lieu of a higher
<v Speaker 2>salary prior to shooting Smart Man.
<v Speaker 1>Smart Man, Yeah, right, here we go a little nepotism
<v Speaker 1>so two of Jerry Parris's children were casts in the movie.
<v Speaker 1>His daughter Julie Parris was given a small role as
<v Speaker 1>the checkout girl said talks to, while his son Andrew
<v Speaker 1>Paris played Bud, the punchy brother of Kathleen Kirkland, which
<v Speaker 1>that that was a little somewhat funny but a little
<v Speaker 1>over the top.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I was talking about GW. Bailey missing him in
<v Speaker 2>this film, and he had hoped to return as Lieutenant
<v Speaker 2>Harris in this but was passed over in favor of
<v Speaker 2>art Pa Toronto as the antagonist in this film and
<v Speaker 2>Police Academy three back in Training as well. Bailey instead
<v Speaker 2>took a job working with director Hugh Wilson on Rustler's Rhapsody.
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen eighty five, on a day off, GW visited
<v Speaker 2>this movie set to film an uncredited cameo in the
<v Speaker 2>wedding reception scene at the end, he appeared from behind
<v Speaker 2>as the man having his picture taken by the photographer.
<v Speaker 1>And once I read that and then watched the movie again,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Oh, yep, there he is. You know
<v Speaker 1>it's in right away. Mm hmm, Okay, this I found
<v Speaker 1>somewhat interesting. So Julie Brown, who was the seamstress in
<v Speaker 1>that one scene you talked about. Was originally cast as
<v Speaker 1>Chloe Daniels, who was supposed to be the love interest
<v Speaker 1>for Mahoney, with the understanding she would play significant ensemble role. However,
<v Speaker 1>she was later disappointed to find out that many of
<v Speaker 1>her scenes with Steve Gutenberg had been removed from the
<v Speaker 1>final version of the film. Brown also recalled that Gutenberg
<v Speaker 1>was not particularly kind to her during filming. In one instance,
<v Speaker 1>while shooting the street Fair sequence where Mahoney takes Chloe
<v Speaker 1>on a Ferris Wheel date. We don't see any of this,
<v Speaker 1>Gutenberg declined to perform a scripted kiss, saying his character
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't kiss her. Ultimately, the entire romantic storyline between Mahoney
<v Speaker 1>and Chloe was cut from the finished film.
<v Speaker 2>Bummer, that might have added something.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I know, but you're going from
<v Speaker 1>Kim Control to Julie Brown. M yep, I it seems
<v Speaker 1>like a playful girlfriend.
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. Bummer for her though, that would
<v Speaker 2>just be like, oh, it cut all my things. Yes, Also,
<v Speaker 2>bummer to hear that supposely he wasn't very nice, surprising.
<v Speaker 2>I did want to just this is a quick one
<v Speaker 2>mention this because I thought this was cool and just
<v Speaker 2>kind of kind of nice. Tim Kazarinsky was originally only
<v Speaker 2>to appear in the opening scene. He plays Sweet Chuck,
<v Speaker 2>of course, but director Jerry Paris enjoyed the chemistry between
<v Speaker 2>Kazarinsky and Bobcat Goldwaite, so the character of sweet Chuck
<v Speaker 2>was created during filming.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's like the opposite of what exactly, We'll get
<v Speaker 1>rid of one and add another instead. Yeah, time to
<v Speaker 1>move on to box office, so please kind of me two.
<v Speaker 1>Their first Assignment, hit theaters on March twenty ninth, nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty five, opening wide and sixteen hundred and thirteen locations.
<v Speaker 1>Made on a relatively modest budget of around seven point
<v Speaker 1>five million, the film turned into a major box office success,
<v Speaker 1>pulling in fifty five point three million across North America.
<v Speaker 1>It debuted at number one and didn't give up that
<v Speaker 1>top spot for three straight weeks even after that until
<v Speaker 1>Strong the top ten for another seven weeks, eventually finishing
<v Speaker 1>as the eleventh highest grossing film in the US for
<v Speaker 1>that year. Moving on to reviews, from growing up in
<v Speaker 1>the eighties, we would watch at the movies with Gene
<v Speaker 1>Cisco and Roger Ebert to hear their reviews and watch
<v Speaker 1>clips of upcoming movies. Their review of Police Acadomy two
<v Speaker 1>was unanimous two thumbs down. Jean said the movie had
<v Speaker 1>two laughable moments, which were two more than the first film,
<v Speaker 1>and Roger was disappointed that people would spend their hard
<v Speaker 1>earned money to pay to see this movie. Tomatoes gives
<v Speaker 1>it a Tomatometers score of thirty two percent, with the
<v Speaker 1>Popcorn Meter score of forty three percent. It also has
<v Speaker 1>an IMDb rating of five point eight. So this takes
<v Speaker 1>us two additional thoughts and questions. What are some additional
<v Speaker 1>thoughts of questions we have about Pleae Academy two.
<v Speaker 2>It's all you, Bill Bent, what do you got?
<v Speaker 1>Here's a question for you, Jason. So I might have
<v Speaker 1>to think about this a little bit. Okay, So they've
<v Speaker 1>cast Police Academy two. They haven't started filming yet, but
<v Speaker 1>they bring you in as casting directors slash scriptwriter, and
<v Speaker 1>they say, here's our cast, and you can make any
<v Speaker 1>change to the cast whatsoever. You could take someone out
<v Speaker 1>and replace him with someone the first movie. Everyone's available
<v Speaker 1>at this point because there's some actors who couldn't film
<v Speaker 1>the second movie just because of other obligations. But you
<v Speaker 1>could bring anyone back, and you could take anyone out
<v Speaker 1>or just add someone or just take someone out.
<v Speaker 2>That's it.
<v Speaker 1>What would you change in Police Acadomy too? Maybe to
<v Speaker 1>help it? I think I know which direction you're going
<v Speaker 1>to go. Huh So, yeah, well I did. I was
<v Speaker 1>of course talking about GW. Bailey versus Art Matronto.
<v Speaker 2>But you know what I didn't. I just don't understand
<v Speaker 2>why Fackler is there. He just doesn't kill do anything
<v Speaker 2>for me, So I would take him out, and I
<v Speaker 2>think it could have used. Yeah, definitely another strong female
<v Speaker 2>and help me out. Who's the blonde bombshell? That's one
<v Speaker 2>of the Oh that couldn't I think was she pregnant
<v Speaker 2>during the filming of this, She couldn't be in it? Oh,
<v Speaker 2>Leslie Easterbrook Debye Callahan, Yes, Leslie Easterbrook. She could have
<v Speaker 2>brought that strength and sexuality to it, which I think
<v Speaker 2>obviously memorable as a teenager as a young boy watching
<v Speaker 2>the first film. But yeah, this is an eighties comedy
<v Speaker 2>and that's just felt like it was missing a little
<v Speaker 2>bit of that and I didn't Maybe not a Kim
<v Speaker 2>control because we like you just mentioned Bill, which I
<v Speaker 2>think is smart. You know, let's let tackle Berry have
<v Speaker 2>the relationship in this film, the romance, but definitely could
<v Speaker 2>have used we just let's put another female character in
<v Speaker 2>there instead a factler.
<v Speaker 1>I'm one hundred percent with you on that one. Factler
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do anything for me.
<v Speaker 2>Okay. They didn't give him anything to do or to
<v Speaker 2>make him essential to any of the plot in the
<v Speaker 2>high jinks that he's involved with. I didn't find that amusing,
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't know his purpose. One hundred percent agree.
<v Speaker 2>All right.
<v Speaker 1>Last question, all right, is this going to be the
<v Speaker 1>last police Academy we have reviewed for this podcast?
<v Speaker 2>We haven't even gotten the review. But no, not at all.
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a completist. I mean, wa, wait,
<v Speaker 2>when was the last When did the last film come
<v Speaker 2>out year? That's a good question. I did not know
<v Speaker 2>the answer. All right, Well, we'll do all we got
<v Speaker 2>to do all the eighties police Academies. At least. I
<v Speaker 2>have no doubt there'll be things. They'll be positive takeaways.
<v Speaker 2>I was just but it's interesting that your commentary being
<v Speaker 2>that you could see the writing on the wall the
<v Speaker 2>direction that it was going in, So it'll be interesting.
<v Speaker 2>But maybe if I know what it is now, I'll
<v Speaker 2>have a different mindset going into the next one, and
<v Speaker 2>I'll just be a little bit more. Hey, it is
<v Speaker 2>what it is. Enjoy it for what it is. Let's
<v Speaker 2>not take it too seriously.
<v Speaker 1>Well three is back in training, just say now, so
<v Speaker 1>at least go back to police Academy.
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, and with that being said, let's
<v Speaker 1>move on to our rating. So on a scale of
<v Speaker 1>one to five police badges, what do you give Police
<v Speaker 1>Academy two their first assignment? All right, well, I got
<v Speaker 1>to give this too. I'm giving it to police Badges.
<v Speaker 1>It's one of my lowest ratings. I'm sorry to say,
<v Speaker 1>but this did not work for me. I did not
<v Speaker 1>think the writing was strong. I didn't think the direction
<v Speaker 1>was strong.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the editing did anyone any favors because
<v Speaker 2>comedy is timing and a lot of the jokes fell
<v Speaker 2>flat because the delivery and or pacing of the way
<v Speaker 2>it was cut was just too It was stuck in
<v Speaker 2>mud in moments and I was like, ooh, that just
<v Speaker 2>falls like a thud. And so yeah, but again, good
<v Speaker 2>to see these actors. They are serviceable and more. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>we talk about Michael Winslow. He's funny, you know, Tackle
<v Speaker 2>Berry Dave Graff was a standout, and I mentioned to
<v Speaker 2>the character of Proctor. I enjoyed him his introduction into
<v Speaker 2>this franchise in this film. So, yeah, the jokes didn't
<v Speaker 2>land for me. And I didn't know what the you know,
<v Speaker 2>kind of what the point of this was. If there
<v Speaker 2>weren't going there was not really be a story at all.
<v Speaker 2>It was just so loose, and then they didn't engage
<v Speaker 2>into the actual plot line with the gang until the
<v Speaker 2>end and like twenty minutes left, So that just didn't
<v Speaker 2>work it all for me. It was just confusing as
<v Speaker 2>to what changed from the first film to the second,
<v Speaker 2>But I think we discovered some of that in trivia,
<v Speaker 2>So it just that's just my opinion.
<v Speaker 1>This one didn't work for me. So two police badges,
<v Speaker 1>two police badges. See, I I was going back and
<v Speaker 1>forth between two and a half and three. I always
<v Speaker 1>feel like I should be a little bit higher than you,
<v Speaker 1>but I don't want to go too high. Yeah, the
<v Speaker 1>shame I can't give it a two point seventy five.
<v Speaker 1>I'll give it a strong two and a half then,
<v Speaker 1>because I do like the characters. I do like some
<v Speaker 1>of the situations that they're in. Yeah, the third act
<v Speaker 1>is terrible. There's only two highlights in the last twenty minutes,
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of like to see where they were
<v Speaker 1>going from the first one. But yeah, the fact that
<v Speaker 1>you're still rehashing the same gags, which you will do
<v Speaker 1>in the next couple of movies. And some of the
<v Speaker 1>characters were definitely under used. But I think because I
<v Speaker 1>do like Tackleberry a lot, that kind of helped. Michael
<v Speaker 1>Winslow did have some fun stuff in it, so that helped.
<v Speaker 1>But it's not necessarily a good movie. But there's enough
<v Speaker 1>in it for me too like it. I can see
<v Speaker 1>myself going back and watching it again. But it's not
<v Speaker 1>a must watch.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there you go. That's the thing is like, would
<v Speaker 2>you recommend it? Do you think? See? I personally would
<v Speaker 2>not recommend this film. I would recommend a scene or two.
<v Speaker 2>I would recommend the Michael Winslow martial arts sequence. Just
<v Speaker 2>watch that scene on YouTube because that's really fun. Or
<v Speaker 2>do you think your kids when they become you know, well,
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy growing so fast the teenagers, do you think
<v Speaker 2>they get a kick out of this now? Or is
<v Speaker 2>my son might the eighties kind of sense of humor.
<v Speaker 2>It might be the right age for this. Okay, yeah
<v Speaker 2>it was what I should have.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but that my additional thoughts. I think if you're
<v Speaker 1>you're a grown adult and you're watching this for the
<v Speaker 1>first time, not to so much, but yeah, I think
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna watch it you with your teenage kids,
<v Speaker 1>you might kick.
<v Speaker 2>Out up with that. How does the takeaway?
<v Speaker 1>So that wraps it up for this week's episode. Thank
<v Speaker 1>you so much for hanging out with us.
