This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Hello and welcome to another piece of supplemental face content. This one is the long-teased and awaited viewing of MVP2, Most Vertical Primate, as led by Andrew Panton.
My name is Jeff Ramsey, and somewhere around here is Gavin Free as well.
He's known as our second favorite British guy behind Dr. Peabody.
Andrew, take it away.
This is MVP2. We're about to start. We just did the presentation.
I want to know how long did that take? Was that like 15 minutes? How long did that end up going?
Yeah, you were right around with your whole presentation. You were right around 15.
And you can watch that on our YouTube channel. Yep. Yes, you can. So this is MVP two. As I
talked about before, this is the movie that convinced me that i could immediately start skateboarding like with no no practice at all i just i got a skateboard because of this film
attempted to do it once bailed really hard did the splits never skateboarded again uh that's my
journey but i'm hoping that you both enjoy this mvp2 journey i haven't watched this movie in
probably like 18 years then you just flip off
someone in a car is that related what happened with that no that's a completely different story
okay that is that is that was i saw somebody flip somebody off in a car and i didn't know what it
meant so i just stood in front of my house and i waited for the next car to drive by and i flipped
them off and then gauged their reaction on whether it was a positive or negative. For some reason, I thought you had a skateboard
with you when you did that. No, I did not.
I probably should have. I wonder what
episode, I feel like that
you mentioning that you
decided to learn to skate from the monkey in MVP2
must have been like in the first 20
episodes of F*** Face. It's gotta be
16. Very, oh yeah, that's
possible. Very early on in F*** Face
lore. I'm excited that after
these many years and 127
episodes of the main show, we're finally
getting to dig into such an
inspirational piece of content.
I'm excited. There's some good cameos
in this. There is some, there's at least
one character in
this movie that you'll have additional
context for going into MVP
2. And it's not who you expect. I'll just leave it at that. I don context for going into MVP, too.
And it's not who you expect.
I'll just leave it at that.
I don't expect any of them.
Well, you know, we had a talk.
You know that somebody else from the first one is.
Oh, yeah. I'm saying it's a different person that returns in a more official way.
I wonder if this is even going to show up.
Oh, it does.
Do you guys have any any guess on what the domestic,
what the worldwide gross on this movie is?
Oh.
I'm going to say
$6 million
worldwide.
It opened at $99,518
in the opening week.
Domestic and
worldwide gross were the same. I guess it didn't go wide uh the movie grossed
1.248 million dollars yeah i was gonna say i remember seeing the first mvp in a movie theater
and i watched this one on vhs because i think it went straight to video sequel the sequel did not
get a theatrical release. Close the budget.
Oh, shit. I just closed it.
Hold on. It has to be live.
I don't know if it listed it. Let's see.
Most Viable Primate 2000.
It is listed under Comedy Family Sport.
Does not list the budget.
Okay. Yeah, unfortunately.
Okay. MVP to
budget for most vertical
primate $2 million USD.
Oh, really?
They gave that movie to us and they paid
800 grand to do so.
It costs a lot of money to book Bob Birdquest.
He's a lot. He's a big star.
Bob Birdquest. Is Bob Birdquest in this? Are you spoiling?
Yes, he is. You know, it's in the
I don't know. I don't think it's in the
credits. Fair enough. You'll see him quick. Okay, you's in the trailer. I don't know. I don't think it's in the credits. I didn't mean trailer.
Fair enough.
You'll see him quick.
Okay, you guys ready?
I am so ready for this.
Okay.
The beginning of this movie is so good.
So I've rented this on Amazon Prime.
Well, I guess Amazon, because you can watch it for free on Amazon with ads, but in order
to give you the full Unfettered experience there are no ads so i've paid the two
dollars i believe to uh rent this um what's gonna happen is that you can rent it as well i think you
can watch it for free on 2b but syncing it up with us is gonna be a headache so if there are ads
there you might want to just go for mvp2 on amazon i'm going to count down 3, 2, 1 now and then on now you're going to
hit play along with us and then that
will have you synced up.
Let's see if it works.
Should we endeavor not to hit
pause at any point and just to go all the way through?
Yes, we should not hit pause at all.
Okay, just making sure. Everybody understands
that. Okay.
You good? You see my screen? We're good?
You're going to have to update these totals now. office can you test your audio okay i'm gonna i'll i'll play
it we'll start it and then i will sounds great hang on hang on hang on sounds great so there's
that we're gonna i'm gonna pause it right at the very beginning jog it back we'll get it going here
we go this has ads in it i paid for it to not have ads I'm just saying it said it said free
free with ads and then but I paid for
it then I'm seeing ad breaks
I've paid for it
you ordered
the $2 standard deaf version
instead of no no no I paid
for the high definition version
okay you're on the right account
yes I have not I paid for the high definition version. Okay. Are you on the right account? Yes.
I have not left the fucking page.
This is the, I ordered it, and I did not close this window.
Maybe if you refresh it?
Yeah, maybe you got to do a refresh.
Jesus Christ.
You didn't do it for MVP1, did you?
No.
Again, I didn't close this window. I didn't know this was mvp1 did you no it again i didn't close this window
i didn't know this was produced by airbud entertainment oh yeah it is yeah robert
vince has directed all those movies we're gonna get it started and if there are ads i'm gonna
jump out a window uh okay okay let's do it i'm gonna i'm gonna jog it up we're gonna get it see
no ads oh yeah there we go all right here we go on now are you ready for mvp audience if you bought this be sure to refresh
before this moment don't sit on the page and go surely this will be the way to do it
because it's not okay here we go three two one now, that sounds great, Eric.
Actually, can we do this another time?
I'm watching MVP 2 right now.
You can go if you have to.
If Gavin said,
if Gavin said,
no, seriously,
I have a film crew outside,
I forgot.
I would not be surprised.
He's like,
I gotta shoot a TV show.
Oh.
Did Robert Vince
direct the first one as well? Yes, he did. He's directed, I think shoot a TV show. Oh. Did Robert Vince direct the first one as well?
Yes, he did.
He's directed, I think, every Air Bud movie.
Like, all of the Air Bud entertainment.
I think that's all he does.
This guy's the Steven Spielberg of animal movies.
So it's actually just called MVP again, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Is this El Simeon?
I guess it is.
Yeah, I don't remember it starting this way.
So all the monkeys in the monkey,
well, all the chimpanzees in the nature preserve
wear human clothes in nature?
I guess so, yeah.
That's, I believe, Jack and his brother, Louis,
I want to say.
Wait, he had a brother this whole time?
Yeah, but it's not at all important to the first film.
He gets introduced in the second one.
time uh yeah but it's not at all important to the first film he gets introduced in the second one so only two of them wear clothes just yeah i guess i think the other monkeys hate them
there's bob burnquist go an ape that company no longer exists i wonder if this
is no they're still in business.
No, they're not.
We will never get movies like this made ever again.
No, absolutely.
Y'all have seen Nope, right?
Isn't this kind of how that movie started?
Yeah.
Yes, that's exactly what it was.
Yeah.
So, Andrew, this is like a good shit film?
Or is it a shit film or is this genuinely a
good film well as a 10 year old in your memory in my memory this was just a genuine great movie
but I think this is a shit good film but we'll find out if it's just a shit film Dunstan I would
classify as shit but good no Dunstan's just good I don't I think Dunstan's just good I do think though we need to Dunstan's just good. I do think, though,
we need to come up with a rating system,
and when this is all said and done,
we need to decide which we liked better,
MVP 2 or the tuxedo.
Yeah.
Him and his brother read an NHL magazine.
Well, yeah, of course.
It's funny.
I don't remember...
I remember this movie opening
completely differently.
So they missed the hockey life.
And they missed it clearly.
And Louis wants to be involved in the hockey life.
This is insane to watch.
It's got the old Nuggets outfit.
Yeah, he isn't.
He doesn't like it.
Jack has a mean slap shot.
ZHL.
Nobody watches ZHL.
That guy on the right, that's exactly where my forehead is going.
head is going.
Does his shirt just say drill and there's a
drill bit.
It's such a 90 shirt.
It's such a like 90s
skate culture shirt.
So there's a team called
the Simeons that are
unrelated to the nuggets
or the Simeon else
else Simeon nature preserve. Yes. There's a lot of coincidence. The simians that are unrelated to the nuggets or the simian else.
El simian nature preserve.
Yes.
There's a lot of coincidence.
There is a lot of coincidence. Dude, there is nothing better than a hot dog at a game.
Do you get hot dogs on the ice?
Oh, God. Oh god
Now
Was she in the first one at all at the end?
Like when he went home?
Which one's Jack?
He's the bigger one
Hey Gav I got a question for you
Do you think Andrew's still here? I haven't heard him in a while No I don't think so Which one's Jack? He's the bigger one. Hey, Gav, I got a question for you.
Yeah.
Do you think Andrew's still here?
I haven't heard him in a while.
No, I don't think so.
No, I don't think so either.
Okay, just making sure.
I'm really glad that we can't pause.
Yeah.
Andrew's just dropped us off at the movie.
He's going to be around in 90 minutes in the station wagon to pick us up.
Hello?
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry. It sucks that our monkey expert isn't here to answer.
Because I know he wasn't an important part of the first one,
but I'd love a little more backstory into Jack's family
and if his brother...
He left.
See if his fucking...
How is this possible?
Oh, he just got drafted
to the ZHL.
What?
Oh, no.
502 Bad Gateway?
I thought that he skateboarded.
Does he play hockey in this?
Maybe that's how he gets to start.
So wait, he didn't know he was getting drafted?
I don't know.
Maybe that's why he was watching.
He was hoping to get drafted.
When did he apply?
What is happening?
Did he send an application?
I bet Louie did.
Louie was like, I can't handle this hockey life.
I need Jack to go live his dream and stop throwing apples at me.
So I'm going to make him eligible for hockey.
What is cloud?
Nick is positing that maybe Jack had a career-ending injury,
but...
But we saw him leave.
Do you?
I like his shoes.
I like that the whole point of the last movie
was getting back to where he's from,
getting back to the preserve where he belongs.
Yeah.
Where he belongs.
And now it's like,
all right,
come on back.
Sequel money.
So there's a lot of,
I wonder if,
uh,
similarities to his real life situation,
right?
Like the,
the monkey,
I don't remember his name now.
If it was Bobby Bernie,
the monkey Bernie,
the,
or rather the chimpanzee Bernie,
he eventually left and went to the...
What zoo did Andrew say?
Oakland.
Oakland Zoo?
Do you think that Bernie, the chimpanzee,
watches TV at the Oakland Zoo
and sees his old career go by
as acting monkeys and gets sad
and is like,
oh, this is a hard parallel to live with.
And his agent keeps calling. He's like, you can go back. He parallel to live with. And his agent keeps calling.
He's like, you can go back.
He's like, no, I can't do it.
I can't.
I can't.
Oh, Andrew, you missed it.
He just got drafted to the ZHL.
Hello?
Where did you go?
Why did you leave?
I didn't.
I heard Jeff say, isn't it weird that Andrew isn't talking?
And I had never stopped talking the entire time.
Oh, yeah, we never heard you.
You just thought we were talking over you?
No, I was talking in between both of you.
And it just flowed.
It still made sense.
It did not flow.
There was no talking.
From my perspective, everything was flowing fine.
And we're all going back and forth.
And it just coincidentally lined up.
I'm hopping back into the show. what's happening? What do you mean?
He got, he just got drafted to the ZHL.
You've, you've told us this is
a movie about monkey skateboarding, but he's
only, it's just been a hockey movie. Yeah,
it's pretty hockey heavy. I don't know
what I watched because this is...
Simeon...
I don't remember him being drafted.
He got drafted by this guy
he didn't even know he had
made himself eligible for the draft
was he a first round pick?
where did he go?
oh no he was like in the 11th round
that's insane
yeah
well
he got drafted to the Seattle Simeons
there hasn't been a lot of clarity
on that career ending injury yet
so who knows
that's true
they don't even know about him? There hasn't been a lot of clarity on that career-ending injury yet, so who knows?
They don't even know about him?
No, I think the goalie does.
The guy at the nose ring,
or the same actor playing a different role,
which appears to be the case.
That suggests he's more... He's like a human and a half.
That doesn't make any sense.
Well, it's Gretzky.
Gretzky was 99.
Yeah, he's great.
So he's half of...
Yeah, he's better than...
Slightly better than Gretzky.
He's one half...
One half of one point better than Wayne Gretzky.
Oh, shit.
Wow.
That's a dilemma.
That sucks for him.
You play for the Simeons, you fucking idiot.
That's where the Canucks play.
I want to play for the Carjackers.
Did you watch a lot of Bruce and Clark hockey news hour when you were a kid, Andrew?
I would have if it was available.
That was a real thing.
Is that the Genna?
Is that Darren?
No.
Oh.
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure.
Monkey on the bench.
These movies were made less than a year apart.
I bet they never even stopped production.
They just gave everybody new clothes and just started up with a sequel.
They quickly filmed another movie before dropping him back off.
They're like,
Darren's like,
what do you want me to be in the new one?
They're like, oh, you're actually the AD
in this film.
You're not in the movie.
Oh.
So he's on the bench.
Yeah, he's on the bench.
Well, yeah, he's right.
All the time in hockey.
You have different lines.
I don't know why that guy's wearing a headset.
I've never seen anyone wear a headset on the bench.
It's coaching.
Oh, they all have headsets.
What is this guy's voice?
Well, I can see the headlines already.
This guy is how every fan interprets their owner.
He across like every sport.
Oh, shit.
These other give a fuck.
Are those his parents? I guess. I don't know. these other give a fuck parents
I guess I don't know
I don't understand
how all these people aren't aware of Jack
like it's not like there's a huge market
for famous championship winning hockey
chimps oh that guy's off
the ice and you're on a monkey team
like yeah you're on the simians yeah okay so it is a hockey movie andrew no. It's very possible we're watching the wrong movie.
No, this is...
Why don't we find out that Andrew has never
seen MVP 2 before?
No.
I don't remember there being this much hockey
in it. But look, he scored
immediately.
Well, it was an assist.
Now his brother wants to play hockey.
Yeah.
Ah. Ah. Well it was an assist. Oh now now his brother wants to play hockey Oh shit he won a championship
Very convincing
This monkey's pretty good at skating yeah he's not bad better than i ever was i i just don't know why like this is the right movie because bob
burnquist is in it it was in the The thing is, they're doing so much work
to explain these minor characters.
Like, everyone gets a shine,
but, like, we're going to watch them skateboard.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Oh, he's going to rip this guy's balls off.
Yeah, he is.
You know how strong a chimpanzee is?
There's Hot Dog. Hot Dog. is you know you know strong a chimpanzee is there's hot dog it's this guy I don't
know oh shit through the
legs I wonder if that's
ever happened in the NHL
I like the puck cam Legs! I wonder if that's ever happened in the NHL.
I like the puck, Cam.
They just keep reusing the same celebration.
Him in the corner.
Look at all these women he's got.
I hate that. It's my favorite character.
My drill sergeant used to hit us in the head like that in basic training,
but he had a big metal stop sign that he would whack you with.
What?
I think the worst part of this is that the odor was correct.
What?
He's Seattle's newest hero.
So this takes place in Seattle.
I wonder, my daughter is the world's biggest Grey's Anatomy fan.
And she was watching the, she was explaining to me how,
I don't know, all 19 seasons of it today in the car.
I wonder if they exist in the same universe in Seattle.
It's possible.
Do you have to stand on the goal in ice hockey?
No.
No.
I mean, he's just cheating.
High five, yeah.
Simeon's hammering the storm.
I like these bootleg
Philly jerseys.
It's the same post
once again.
He does it again.
What the?
Oh, they're grooming.
He's a great teammate.
Get the bugs out of the back hair.
That looks like you without a shirt on, Gav.
Oh!
Oh! they're on the same team like i don't
see you play nobody interviews like somebody on the lakers is like were you just chumped by
lebron james like that's not how this works. We're all collectively
trying to win. Does he have seven
milkshakes? Oh, he absolutely does.
Double milkshake? And he's lactose
intolerant.
Where are their parents i like i like adult like childish activities
yeah in like an adult kind of setting like they're playing poker
or something but it's go fish because it's the only thing you understand at 10 yeah yeah and he
had seven milkshakes make it a double it's all just very like it's cute i feel confident to say
at this point this is just a great movie it's's fantastic. So you just rewatched MVP.
How does this compare?
Do you think it's better so far?
This is way better.
This is so much better than the first one.
How much footage of this monkey skating did they get?
How many times did they make this chimp do that?
Well, it's the carjackers.
It's probably the same shoot, I'd assume.
It's the exact same team.
This is one of those hockey leagues where they only play
one other team all season. Is that
accurate, by the way? Do the cheerleaders have to stand on the
steps because there's no way for them to stand?
No. They typically
have their own zone, but most teams don't have cheerleaders
anymore.
Oh, he's a dad, though.
Having a midlife crisis
because he's dropped down the depth chart
due to a monkey.
But he sees that Jack has a family, too.
I mean, if he hatched a plot
to deliver Jack back to where he's from,
he would actually be the hero of the movie.
He would.
Don't be a bad guy.
Be a good guy.
Be a good guy.
Oh. I want to know what other movies this guy's done
I'm on it
Oliver was in MVP 2
you want to go for some milkshakes?
You're right.
Oh, wow.
You were right, Gavin.
Oh, my God, Gavin.
Are they wearing identical leather jackets?
No, slight differences.
Oh, my God. so why is he so pissed off about playing with a monkey on this team if he's pissed it off
ian bagg the comedian is in this movie that's funny
uh kids are back
kids seem really pissed off
to be in French Valley
the uh
the guy that plays Rob
Rob Poirier
has been in 90 things
wow
he is still working
he's in a show called
Narco Leap right now
whatever the fuck that is
so much as many things
as Mr. Dr. Peabody
he's in a hundred things
I've never heard of so they must all be
Canadian I'm guessing mm-hmm all the
teams clicking Jack and Poirier friends
and everything's great free bananas
looks like he's holding his dick
sort out a figure skate.
Was that a guy in a chimp suit, do you think?
I think
it was maybe Jack, but sped up.
I'm
impressed.
Jesus! the extras going all out yeah even the goalies getting in on it because why not fuck it safe shot again
so the goalie has a goal but that poirier guy doesn't? Is that what's
happening? I think Poirier scored.
I think he just came back. I think he's scoring
now that they're friends.
When do you think he starts skateboarding?
I think soon.
I'm going to say within the next
10 minutes, we're going to get on a skateboard.
How far?
El Simeon Nature Preserve and El Simeon El Simeon.
What if it's just a box of cash?
Another game against the
carjackers.
Another money-saving game.
Oh, but he's got a plan.
Eric's favorite character has a plan.
Uh-oh.
They're sick of losing.
Oh. They're sick of losing. Are they going to send him to skateboarding?
This is how I remember the movie opening.
We could have just died here.
We could have.
I said... Oh. we could have just died here we could have uh said oh
oh
oh the pucks like the first movie
the pucks is kind of around the net everyone's all tied up
watch out jack
jack look out
oh my god
the shit
so he's gonna say jack bit him Oh my god! Shit!
So he's gonna say Jack bit him,
but it's just ketchup.
What's going on? What's going on? Jack's like no
Is biting
A penalty in hockey
Uh yeah it would be
Penalty but I don't you wouldn't get
Thrown out of the league for it have you uh
Are you aware of anybody biting
Anybody else in the history of the NHL?
Yeah.
There was Alex Burrows bit a player while on the Knucks.
He got a penalty.
They're taunting.
Look how well he skates.
It happened on...
And not only has it happened in the NHL, Jeff,
it happened in this arena.
It happened on this rink.
So Jack's not the first person to bite somebody in hockey.
He predated Burrowss, but yeah.
It's happened.
I feel like he's paying a heavier penalty than Burroughs probably did.
Oh, definitely.
Undeniably.
Everybody turns on him.
He's sad.
Poor fucking Chimp.
He was the hero of Seattle.
Boy, Chimp. He was the hero of Seattle. Boy, Chimp.
God, think about what you're doing, audience.
Monkey's an animal.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, it's the henchman in the first movie.
That's right next to the coach.
His assistant coach was the assistant villain.
Oh. Oh, really?
First villain.
Let me see.
No, we'll never see him again.
Good.
It's good.
Jack doesn't want...
Jack doesn't want this.
He's hurt.
Yeah, he's hurt.
He's been unfairly maligned
he's been unfairly maligned
so Jack just leaves
and is now homeless
in Seattle
it's Seattle
looks really comfortable for him to walk in those shoes
god damn that's the way jack walks is how i walk in the morning when i get out of bed
my arthritis is fucking in full effect he walks like the world is covered in lego
yeah that's me walking to take a piss at 630 I just love that he doesn't go home
decides to live in the streets well he's
fucking he's probably a lot of self
loathing going on you know and he
doesn't quite understand fair he did
something people think he did something
wrong but he doesn't know what he did
wrong because he didn't really bite
anybody
sucks but he doesn't know what he did wrong because he didn't really bite anybody. Ugh.
This sucks.
I want to know where he thinks he's from.
What the fuck?
BFI.
Okay, but that looks really comfy.
Yeah, it does.
And now... Oh, he just went right by it.
Oh, he just passes him.
Well, let this be a lesson to anybody watching this film, us included.
If you lose a chimpanzee in the city, check the trash cans.
Check the dumpsters
like a lot of a lot of use out of that space needle oh no oh no jack
why are they stealing it I yeah so they're not
actually gonna empty
the trash can
they're just gonna
drive down
that's the most
inefficient
trash emptying
company in the world
they do them
one by one

here we go
there's Bob Burnquist
something else for me to be really good at.
Mm-hmm.
Dun-dun-dun.
Oh, shit!
He's back!
Channeling his dick Dick Van Dyke.
I like this is the second time he's held a wanted poster with Jack on it, but as different characters.
Okay, it's a printing. Okay, to printing.
Okay, I was going to say, what is that business?
When someone says hot off the presses,
I don't expect them to literally mean it. What did that kid go there for?
To check in?
Oh, to hang the reward.
He just works there?
Yeah.
Well, he's homeless, Gavin.
You've got to use two pieces of tape.
That's not going to stay long.
This kid's not going to keep his job.
Staples is a good move.
Yeah, that's better.
More than one, though.
This kid.
You don't know what he's doing.
She looks like she skates
is that
that's the home improvement guy
it's Richard Karn
it's Richard Karn right
yeah
classic skateboard guy
Dick Karn I like that he even drinks out of a skateboarding coffee mug
yeah hell yeah give me that world industries mug
attention to detail Oliver Plant
great acting
well I mean
he's a great actor
hell yeah He's a great actor. Mm-hmm.
Hell yeah.
Do you feel like they cut to a close-up there because he couldn't stack two hands together?
Oh, definitely.
I don't even know...
Well, I guess, yeah, he could skate.
I'd be surprised if he kickflip.
There we go, he's lit nah I mean he he seems to know what he's
doing
I mean yeah
more than I ever did
I feel like every kid in the world can
skate that well.
Is this downtown Seattle?
Like, where does this fit?
This is where the kids with families live.
Family street.
Jack is going to walk and see a bunch of monkey families doing the same thing.
Like grilling bananas in the front yard I think I had that Quicksilver hoodie
yeah
I hope you still do
try and find a picture
be an amazing find
I feel like that guy's in a lot of stuff
but always as that character as Seattle's finest Amazing find. I feel like that guy's in a lot of stuff,
but always as that character.
As Seattle's finest.
Yeah.
Yeah, he looks like he would have stopped Macaulay Culkin at some point.
He looks like Richard Kind's stunt double.
Yeah. he's a big simians fan
he actually is
so that's an Oakland
what I think
no that was real life
do you think that
no wait
isn't this
wasn't the
Jeff
where's the simian
animal preserve at
I think it's supposed
to be in like
San Francisco.
So I was close when I said Oakland.
No, you confused a thing from a movie with a real life thing.
Well, I'm just saying the simian animal sanctuary is supposed to be in Oakland or wherever, but it doesn't look like it.
I don't know.
I'm just wondering where they filmed it.
Wait, it's supposed to be in Oakland? I don't know. I'm just wondering where they filmed it. Wait, it's supposed to be in Oakland?
I don't think it is. In the first movie
they mentioned it was in San Francisco
or Oakland. I remember that.
I paid attention to the
presentation. I don't think that was
in the presentation. I thought you were saying that the real
monkey went to Oakland. Yes.
Oh, yeah. The real monkey
ended up in Oakland.
That's the confusion i still think i'm supposed to believe that that place is somewhere in california apparently san francisco
is that aaron carter
or right what's the name of that young skateboarder
Sheckler?
is that Ryan Sheckler?
I doubt it let's see
I think it might be young Ryan Sheckler
oh it's a monkey board
oh I know this song
this is a band
this is a band called Death on Wednesday
it's a 90s...
I think that's Sheckler.
Epitaph or Fat Records punk band.
Airquake.
That's actually a pretty good song.
I think that kid is a professional skateboarder. I'm looking. I think that's, I think that kid is a professional skateboarder.
Uh,
I'm looking at that Shecklin.
So what's the deal?
This guy's trying to make with this kid.
He's going to give it to him.
If something happens,
I don't,
I think,
I think he's just like knows this kid can't afford a skateboard thing.
So he's just going to put this thing in the dumpster and the kid can have it.
Oh,
yeah. Yeah. afford a skateboard thing so he's just gonna put this thing in the dumpster and the kid can have it oh yeah
that's probably a cameo it's like chad musker or something i just don't know he's uncredited
i'm looking at a skateboarding appearance uh tyler v Hoffett, Nathan Lacoste, and Rob Boyce
I don't see any
Well, Burnquist is in this, so you'd think that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's listed as Burnquist, though
The squeak in the shoe always gets me oh wait kid number one at skateboard place danny hag or haig huh okay
oh oh oh never mind neil neellis, Ryan Sheckler.
There you go. Oh, I was gonna say.
He just had a name. That character has a name,
I guess, so we'll see him again. Yeah, Ryan Sheckler.
Is this a lifeguarding movie?
I think the thing
to learn about this is chimpanzees are
multifaceted.
And they can't be put into a box.
Unless that box is a dumpster.
So Allie doesn't meet my status.
That's me in five years. that's where he lives
Richard Kine's name is Ollie
yeah his name's Oliver Plant
Ollie Plant yeah I think it's supposed to be
two like skateboarding references
yeah
little freaking tech
deck thing those were great I love those I didn't like the feel of the grip on my
fingertips really yeah
were you ever able to do a trick with that? Nah, I was a dog shit. Yeah, I was terrible too.
Aww.
His mom.
That's his Louie.
That is his Louie.
Who's paying the electricity bill?
I'm glad you're here to ask the hard-hitting questions. Who's paying the electricity bill?
I'm glad you're here to ask the hard-hitting questions.
Oh, dude.
The monkey Louie, or sorry, the chimpanzee Louie was played by Louie.
Oh.
As himself.
Yeah, he played by himself.
Different Louie, though.
Once again.
Space needle.
I can't believe the first half an hour
of this skateboarding movie was about hockey.
Well, he had to tie up some loose ends
from the first movie.
Had to show him getting drafted.
That's what I like about these movies
is they focus in on the details
that don't matter at all.
They really invest in them.
Much like MVP1,
he wakes up to discover a sport that he likes
i don't know if he likes skateboarding yet i guess we haven't seen that you can always tell
in a cheap movie a set that's been painted for the movie and that uh that is what we are looking
at here you weren't buying the muck on the bottom of that pool no i'm not buying the mug I'm not buying the walls fucking Jack wears
at knees I love it
proves
you feel like the kid bails and then Jack gets the skateboard?
How's he going to get on this board?
Hmm.
Yeah, he's going to have to stack it somewhere, isn't he?
What's up?
What's up?
I gotta say, I don't know how anybody could think Jack could bite anyone.
That monkey has the... Sorry, that chimpanzee has the kindest face.
Yeah, but I think they do constantly bite people and rip people's penises off.
In real life, yeah.
This isn't real life.
This is movie Seattle
it's a totally different
magical world
what if this kid also had a connection to
a hepatitis lab yeah
it's a magical world where this kid is on the streets
and not on heroin
and everyone's
chugging milkshake. Yeah.
Now, Andrew... Is this stealing the film?
Yes.
You saw this movie,
and you were inspired to learn how to skateboard
because of Jack.
Was it because you thought, like, if the monkey did it, I could do it? Or was it because you thought, and you were inspired to learn how to skateboard because of Jack.
Was it because you thought if the monkey did it,
I could do it?
Or was it because if you thought,
if I learned how to skateboard,
I could get a monkey friend who will come and skateboard with me?
No.
So I think we're going to see, I assume, within this scene,
why I believe that I could instantly skateboard.
I like the idea of learning to skateboard to get the monkeys.
To get the monkeys.
This is how I'm going to get a friend.
Step one.
Buy a skateboard.
That was the smallest bite of a banana I've ever seen.
I feel you're qualified to make that judgment too.
Thank you.
I've eaten a few.
Bananas I can eat right now.
They're soft.
See, Jack is like, I'm going to lick this wheel.
I don't even know what this is
He's like sure fucking through your board
It's so impressive and so sad at the same time yeah, it was at this moment. I thought I could skateboard I always wanted to teach Henry how to
ride a skateboard but Emily was not having it
that would have been great
I think you gotta start young
with that kind of stuff
I was always annoyed that I couldn't skateboard
really?
yeah I was always annoyed that i couldn't skateboard really yeah i was always
annoyed i couldn't skateboard better like like what they're doing now on that like if i if you
said go down that ramp and end up at the bottom of that pool on it i could not do it but if i
offered you a thousand dollars you couldn't do it i couldn't do it i would try oh i could teach you
how to do it in five minutes there's nothing hard hard about that. No, I would. I'm just immediately going to Gavin a does it do falling trying to push you, Jeff.
You saw me trying to run with sticky shoes on.
His own feet don't work.
Yeah, you with wheels, I guess, is not.
I'll be honest with you.
You don't look comfortable on a bicycle either when we ride.
Now that I think about it.
Well, the freaking brakes are the wrong way to start.
Are we breaking in? What are we doing. Well, the freaking brakes are the wrong way to start. Are we breaking in?
What are we doing?
Oh, the garbage.
The ollies.
Back at ollies.
Can you imagine being thrown into the streets
because somebody thinks that you bit someone
but needing to be like morally clear
that they're not stealing?
Like it's the same.
So did he walk out of the ice hockey place
like 10 seconds before they checked that guy's hand?
I get, yeah, like what investigation are they doing?
Because it was ketchup.
There's not, it wasn't the deepest move.
Are we buying this guy's hair?
Is that real?
So, that's a good question.
This came out in 2001, right?
So, what was he doing in his career at that moment? Probably Family Feud, or this is probably right before he was doing Family Feud, right? So what was he doing in his career at that moment?
Probably Family Feud,
or this is probably right before he was doing Family Feud, right?
Oh, he did?
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Thousand.
He was...
When did Home Improvement end?
Oh, you know what?
He was also in Air Bud's seventh-inning fetch,
so he might be all over this world.
Dude, this director's loyal to his cast
home improvement was on from 91 to 99 so this was his follow-up to home improvement
he was in yeah yeah dang is that gatorade what is that i wonder what that feels like
it is gatorade i've never seen a gatorade bottle look like that I wonder what it feels like to film
nine years of a major
television show one of
the one of the most
successful comedies on
TV for the nine years it
was on and then to
follow it up with a
straight-to-video monkey
skateboard movie
man fuck entertainment fuck entertainment
oh he was also in snow buddies
and air buddies god damn richard same character or is it like different
uh different characters i think okay he's all
over the place with the animals these chips are honestly incredible like it's mind-blowing yeah
hey look the space needle you should make a fucking space needle drinking game yupper dupper
Louie also wears
etnies
I'd love to know what that guy's voice actually sounds like.
Do you think British chimps take their shoes off in the house?
Do you think if British chimps come in from the rain,
they put their stuff in the warming closet?
With the air in cover? stuff in the warming closet. The airing of it. That kid has no idea what he's
doing or why he's there.
I mean, I think you could ask that kid if he remembers
working on this movie and he would say no.
The disappointment on that kid's face
is generally because he didn't get to have a scene with the chimp.
So he's having none of this bullshit.
Awesome! I like his little duck, like, jacket. This is great. none of this bullshit. Awesome.
I like his little duck like jacket.
This is great.
His little wellies.
So the monkey can spell
but just not well.
It's Ned from the first movie.
That's actually where he lived.
That guy's not alive, alive right he just drives that truck from movie set to movie set
like y'all need an old guy
he's actually on the way to old school right now
he's like I just tore the country playing bit parts
he's trying to grab the windshield wipers.
You know that wasn't in the script,
but it was so cute they left it in.
I don't think that actor
knows he's in a movie.
I think they've informed him later.
Pretty good
bowls. I'm really getting this fresh milk.
Is that
dumpster milk?
They throw good stuff away. It's not stealing. There's no better milk than dumpster milk? Yeah They throw good stuff away
It's not stealing
There's no better milk than dumpster milk
Oh he makes money
He probably bought the milk
He's got a little fridge in there
I forgot he does the flyer thing
So far he's not been very vertical no i feel like we have seen that alleyway nine different ways definitely oh
you know gavin if you never picked up that high-speed camera from your neighbor...
This is who you would be right now.
That would be me right now, age 34.
I think I could become a scarf guy.
Like a woolly jumper and a scarf man.
Oh, I could see you.
Yeah, definitely. Inappropriate. guy like a a woolly jumper and scoff man oh i can see you yeah definitely inappropriate
awesome oh he's a fucking cool guy i gotta say so far I think this movie's better than the tuxedo
I think it is a way better movie than the tuxedo
this alone
are we about to get vertical
I think it's about to become vertical
I think we're about to go vertical
I love this fucking soundtrack
Jesus
I remember being so excited
watching this as a kid
like I legitimately couldn't do any of this
oh no I learned I couldn't
are the shoes
like drilled into the skateboard
yes they are
this is crazy.
This is death on Wednesday again.
Why was it?
This is so good.
I hit the camera.
I'm going to buy everybody a copy of this album
so you can all take MVP2 with you
wherever you go.
Sounds great.
I like to imagine the other, the camera guy
also on a skateboard.
This must look so funny from a behind the scenes perspective.
Oh!
He did that. He did that.
He did that.
And they're not even like pulling it on string.
He's like doing this.
Dude, he fucking looked back like a cool ass monkey right there.
See this is him after like one day of practice.
I was like, oh, I got this.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
That looks so uncomfortable.
If you could have...
be exactly like you are now.
In every way.
Except you had the equivalent of human monkey hand feet.
Would you take him?
Monkey feet?
Yeah, like he's got...
He's essentially got hands for feet.
Yeah.
Absolutely, I would.
I think I would too.
Absolutely, I would. I think I would too.
Why would he care?
That was a nice moment.
The wrong person ducked.
He's like, I gotta lay off the milkshakes.
I'm starting to see stuff.
Why is there all this skating equipment in this alley?
That's how grunge started, Gavin.
Like a bolted down rail?
Oh yeah, it's just like Seattle was just like one big skate park.
I hope the homeless guy moved.
He was annoyed before.
What if he moved to this alley?
I hope the homeless guy moved.
He was annoyed before.
What if he moved to this alley?
I'm not buying that that kid could reach the fire escape ladder.
I really like that he left hockey hurt and is now just continuing to stay in this lifestyle
because he's a skate monkey now.
Did they make a skating game because that would have been awesome
Like was this now they ship ever a character in Tony Hawk or anything. No that would be great
Gotta go. This is who we have protecting our streets in America.
He's all tuckered out from that half a block.
Oh, we're still at Ned and Louie.
This is my favorite character. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's okay, ma'am. I'm allowed to break in
I'm a poor size
where's the shit
there's a What notes?
Oh no.
Oh no.
Padlock still works, huh?
Yep.
Hit it with his unlocking stick laughing
laughing
oh
that was what I looked like when I tried
I feel like when I tried.
I feel like Jack could probably run faster.
Ah, shit.
Has that ever happened to you, Jeff?
Have I ever snapped a board in half?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
How long does a skateboard last? And that's what I did afterwards, too.
I fucking took my helmet off and cried.
It depends on how you skate with it.
A skateboard can last forever,
but if you're...
If you don't grind stuff.
If you're grinding and doing rail slides and shit,
you're gonna snap it sooner or later.
Also, the longer a skateboard exists,
the more like... I don't know. the less pop it has and the more brittle it
becomes so it's like at some point you
just want to trade out a skateboard
anyway because it's just like fucking
just past its useful date it's expired
best buy see
that's what I told you
I should have just waited
before I was like
man I'm excited for them to get their little asses
down to earthquake whoever it's called
Jack's like fuck you loser I'm excited for them to get their little asses down to earthquake whoever it's called Jack's like fuck you loser I'm out
he walks just like Jack
yeah
you're not wrong
watching this kid and this monkey walk around like this it makes me finally
feel represented.
I love the way he gets into shit.
I'm glad they inserted that they actually didn't know they were in a movie
they were just buying it was just a dad and his kid
buying a skateboard
they were so shocked when they went back the next
week and it was just no longer a business
everyone's gone and they're like was I in a
fucking movie
all these closed down
Wow me too my career. I was in home improvement for nine years
You Do you feel that this guy represents skateboard shop owners, Jeff?
In your experience, how accurate of a portrayal?
This is who...
This is who...
This is going to sound so mean.
But Richard Card in this movie is who Major League fan Jack would be in a different career.
This is who I see owning that skateboard shop.
Jack Petillo with four different decisions made in his life.
I bet he'd be good at it.
Hell yeah, he'd be good at it.
Richard Card is good at it.
It's a monkey board.
Did it say thanks or anything?
It said thanks.
Nope.
Sure, I guess.
Oh, that thing has pop.
Look at the pop.
Oh, that is.
That's probably all Ryan Sheckler.
I have a hard time believing that this child went on to make 98 things.
The other actors.
That's the worst reaction I've ever seen.
Well, you got like one toe in each mouse trap.
Yeah. like one toe in each mousetrap they had to bring the fucking
world industries coffee mug over from the
skate shop Oh, this is creepy.
Yeah.
His name's Ben?
Have we heard?
Yeah, I was about to say, have we heard his name yet?
I was literally about to ask what the kid's name is.
I had no idea. you I don't see this what is this kid's name?
Ben
he's not listed as top cast in the movie
Jesus
reporter 2 and 3 are, though. What the fuck?
Ben is Scott Goodman.
And he, uh, oh.
He was only in this movie.
He was in this?
He was in this and the behind the scenes
featurette
checks out
probably got a normal
similar age to me got a normal job except he could say
I was the lead
role in a monkey movie and that's all
I did in the film industry
the one piece of trivia for him
is did you know
he attends Lakewood High School in Lakewood, California, and will be entering his senior year?
Still going.
Oh, God, the monkey's driving.
Oh, no.
Louie's driving now.
He's 35 now.
Yeah.
He's probably not still in high school okay drink
is this great escape
quake day I'm so excited
for the tournament right
I mean yesterday I I don't feel
like this is Jack's portrayal of this movie at all this feels feels
disconnected disconnected
Hmm okay cut
I kind of like that they've ended up in Seattle by mistake. How is he sitting lower than the chimp? He was driving.
Oh, carjackers are back.
How are the carjackers
in the finals?
They lost four fucking games
to the Simeons.
Andrew, can I ask you a question?
Yeah, of course.
Do you... I don't want to know the answer
because I want to be surprised,
but do you remember how this whole thing ends?
How it shakes out?
No, I have no idea.
So it's kind of like watching it for the first time.
It is, yeah.
This is essentially like watching it for the first time.
I have no memory of the ending.
We could be in a situation
where Louie becomes a hockey player
and Jack keeps skating.
That might be a situation we're about to get in, Jeff.
Yeah, I think we're about to see this.
He doesn't look like Jack, though.
No.
No.
No.
He looks great.
For sure.
Do you think Louie is like
Lady from the Animal Sanctuary?
Sorry, all you humans look alike to me.
Oh no.
Oh no.
So was he suspended?
What was the review?
Was the investigation?
Was there a penalty?
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh for God's sake.
He fucking sucks.
That's what's wrong.
He hasn't had all the training from the first movie.
Oh, that's Ian Bagg.
Okay.
The blonde dude?
The Eastern European guy?
Yeah, he's a stand-up comedian.
Okay. Oh, he's a stand-up comedian. Okay.
He's an enforcer.
All the Louis on ice scenes are my favorite.
He threw his gloves down like a real player there. He just wants to go.
He wants to eat the octopus. He wants to eat the octopus. do you think they had to find a chimp that they hadn't taught skating to
yeah or did they have to teach him to be shit
i feel like probably teach them to be shit or like just instruct them to not respond.
Louie's going to kill somebody.
Yeah.
In the two team hockey league,
they're members of. Ha ha ha!
Airquake!
It's pretty high up. Sound effects are so good.
Jeff, did you ever drop in from higher than that?
I have never dropped in from higher than like eight feet.
Okay.
Do you see what happened when Dan did it?
I did.
He broke his fucking arm.
And then I watched Tony Hawk make fun of him later on another video.
Well, to be fair, Dan farted on him.
Well, good.
Tony Hawk was really nice.
Okay. This guy needs to be playing it like 25% less creepy, I think.
Yeah. yeah
is this the same band Jeff?
no I think this is a band called Junction 18
if I'm
if I'm correct
If I'm correct.
I want to know where Red Sunglasses guy is.
Oh, that's
the other henchman.
He's the henchman of the first movie. Is Jack gonna win a skate competition and then go win a hockey championship
in the same afternoon i mean only one of us would know Sheckler.
Oh, yeah. How old is Ryan Sheckler oh yeah how old is Ryan Sheckler now
well let's see
uh he is
uh 32 years old
wow 32 years old. Wow.
Do you just go until you fall?
Probably. Ben? Johnson? Ben
Johnson
Jackson Popcorn World
he does not
nothing else exists right now
yeah that was yeah i love that he doesn't question jack like just being there that he's just cool with it he's
just riding out that yeah they're a package deal i'm not gonna report that this chimp is just
existing in this world
you better be scared to death you little homeless nerd
man I could not do that
no
I couldn't believe that Dan did it
I couldn't do it in my 40s I can't believe Dan tried it at his age
I mean like
with his level of experience,
that's a really...
That's a big deal.
That's like three or four foot of straight vert down.
What we didn't show in the video
is the 40 minutes of everyone trying to talk about doing it.
Including Tony Hawk.
Oh.
Jack's going to be like the ice... Yeah, yeah he's gonna show him it's okay
wonder how much of this movie was
subsidized by Etnies Thrasher
and World Industries
don't fall
for it kid just because Jack can
do it doesn't mean you can do you think maybe you would have been a better skater if jack had believed in youtube
i think so i mean that was what was missing
now we're back to death on Wednesday.
Okay.
Is this the same song that was playing in the background?
Yeah, it's the same Death on Wednesday song over and over again.
Okay, yeah.
I'm pretty sure.
The road of love.
Whoa.
It's pretty vertical.
Would you say the most vertical?
No, there was a monkey in a tree earlier that was way more vertical.
Dude, I'd love to be able to ollie a gap like that whoa whoa there's no reporter in that shot
I love Louis so much
yeah I gotta say Louis kind of steals the movie
Louis is great
he's just got action
he's Louis great
This guy's hair lines receding between like we wrap this movie up fast Bob Birdquist wow
hell yeah
wow
it's the shittiest belt I've ever seen
Neil Nellis
that's Ron Sheckler
there you go
there you go Neil
congratulations That's Ron Sheckler. There you go. There you go, Neil. Congratulations.
Oh, my God.
Now he doesn't have to be homeless anymore.
He won the movie.
Isn't that how movies work?
He got $1, dollars and a dad thanks Bob
hey everyone this is my kid that I just met
it's not it's not a reason to adopt a child I don't think you get to decide that son yeah I think that I think I think Jack gets a say as well right
that's the best thing to happen.
This would be such a good 30 for 30.
Do you think ZHL stands for Zamboni Hockey League?
Yes.
Get on the skateboard.
It's faster.
Cut him some slack, dude.
He's got arthritis in his lower spine.
It hurts.
Somebody should sponsor fucking Bob Perkins
for some acting lessons.
Jesus.
I think this might be Bob Birdquest's only movie as well.
Coincidentally.
Coincidentally.
Oh.
Now we get to see what a professional skateboarder
looks like.
So much better.
What do you mean?
It looks the same as when
the monkey does it.
What's the...
Jeff, could you do that?
No.
No, but I never really liked vert skating to begin with.
Yeah.
There you go, the burn twist.
Ha ha ha. end with yeah there you go the burn twist hey I'm really curious
about what's happening at
the hockey game can we go
to that instead we need to
watch Bob Burgess do the
same trick eight more
times I wonder if he was
if he was offered the
game like the Tony Hawk
game and this at the same time
Which he would have viewed as more profit. Oh wow
Say more lines
Damn
Police escort.
So does this cop know about the other chimp?
No.
Well, I guess he's been following the game, so he must.
this scene rules yeah
yeah
on the low
no you never step on the logo
hockey 101 what are they doing?
Wait. They are?
I wonder how many members of the cast
these chimps outlived.
Well, him.
Definitely him.
That is a good question.
How many people that were involved
in this film were dead?
You gotta get Simeon's jerseys.
I mean, it was 21 years ago, right?
22 years ago?
Mm-hmm.
Woo-hoo!
Immediate goal.
Oh, they made it?
Someone in the crowd just threw a duvet they weren't losing that badly
it looked like it
I noticed that too I've never seen a blanket at a hockey game
what What? That guy's dead now. Oh, it's cheating.
I think it was his gun but oh
oh oh so this is a hockey movie i i guess i think it's hard to argue it's it's more
skateboarding than hockey i'd say yeah it's more horizontal yeah Did they feel like they had to make it a hockey movie for it to make sense?
Well, here's the deal.
We don't know how this story was written.
This might have been planned out from the beginning.
For all we know, it was written as a trilogy,
and they just never got to make the third movie.
Like it's for all we know, it was written as a trilogy and they just never got to make the third movie.
Mm.
If I was a younger man with more time on my hands, I would write MVP fan fiction.
I would expand the universe.
I would tell more stories.
Eric, could you there?
The guy that wrote this movie has a Twitter thread about the process of making it.
That's fantastic.
Could you look at us?
Yes.
Yeah, it's really funny.
I don't remember what it was, but it is absurd.
I don't.
What do I even just look up the IMDb for who wrote it and then like maybe search his name
and like MVP to thread or something like that.
It's great.
I should have pulled that out.
They did it!
Brr.
This is more excited than real athletes are
when they win the championship.
This is fantastic.
Same celebration.
Is this a better movie than MVP 1?
Way better.
This might be the best movie I've seen this year.
Yeah, I would agree with you there.
It's a better movie in every way with a better cast and more cameos
and it was straight to DVD.
and it was straight to DVD.
Is he a good comedian?
I've never seen his stand-up.
I've just heard him on podcasts.
What is he?
Bill Bagg or something? He's a pretty funny dude.
His name is Ian Bagg.
Oh, okay.
It just looks like the Stanley Cup.
That's great.
I want to find out what happened with the investigation.
None of those guys read hockey looking at them no here i put a for later i put a youtube video
on
fucking better Fucking better. so weird it's so creepy monkey's not here to protect you now
wait so this guy drove them back?
Yeah.
What?
I think he just drives right up to their sanctuary.
Just let them in.
Just pull it up next to their favorite tree.
It won't freak them out at all.
The address.
Tree6.
Elsevian.
Elsevian. Elsevian. freak him out at all the address but tree 6l Simeon
Wow
what a movie double stuff okay comparison to that Dunstan checks in is
a good good movie no that's way better than Dunstan Checks In.
Are you serious?
No way, dude.
Dunstan Checks In is a way better movie than MVP 2.
And I liked MVP 2, but you are selling Dunstan Checks In short.
I didn't like it.
Jason Alexander, incredible in Dunstan.
I don't know.
I feel like...
Doorknobs in the middle of the doors, incredible.
I don't want to get too single-threaded
with this whole thing,
but I do feel like we need to watch Dunstan now
at some point.
Yeah.
I think you're right.
I really do.
So, the thing that Andrew...
Glad that took nine months to watch.
The thing that Andrew asked for,
I found the thread of the guy who wrote mvp2 and i've linked it in our chat
he talks a lot about like the monkey did his own stunts and he loved doing it you couldn't smile
at the monkey the most interesting part to me is that this guy didn't know anything about hockey
the first mvp is all about hockey and the plan was the same for the sequel.
Changing up the main sport happened
because I know so little about hockey,
but I was into skate culture as a teen.
So I pitched switching hockey to skateboarding
to keep the franchise fresh.
I've never written a movie before.
So I modeled my script on Pulp Fiction.
What?
Oh my
God. They hired a guy to
write a sequel to a hockey movie who didn't like hockey
and had never written a movie.
Where is the similarity
to Pulp Fiction in any way whatsoever?
He modeled it
after the runtime.
My first draft was
134 pages,
which equals 134 minutes. the director referred to it as
war and peace with chimps
jeff remember when you're talking about the the bowl like the the pool or whatever yeah
he has a tweet about it in the script i wrote that the orphan kid lives in an abandoned swimming
pool that he uses as a skate bowl but they couldn't find a pool that worked, so they painted an actual
skateball to look like an old swimming
pool. Yeah. The reverse.
That was pretty fucking clear there.
So, like, was the dumpster, like, the
briefcase in Pulp Fiction?
I like...
I like that you couldn't
smile at the monkey. Yep.
Like, he's
a great actor, but if you smile at him, he'll rip your fucking face off. He's great. He's a great actor,
but if you smile at him,
he'll rip your fucking face off.
Just don't do it.
We did it.
We watched the monkey movie, guys.
So how do we feel about Dunstan?
Is that worth doing?
I think so.
At some point.
Maybe in March.
I mean, I'd be honest.
I love doing this supplemental content,
and I wish we did it more often.
I feel like it's hard, like,
shooting myself in the foot by saying that
because it ensures that we won't do it again
for another four years.
But I can do these pretty regularly,
and I feel like enough movies come by our way
that are funny and interesting enough
that we could justify it.
I'm not saying Dunstan should be the next movie,
but I do think it should be a movie.
Yes, I completely agree with that.
I like Monkey March, too.
It's just as an idea.
Oh, now that's interesting. Monkey March.
Maybe do a monkey
movie a week in March.
Yeah, yeah, we'll do one movie a week.
Yeah, that's what we'll do.
I also gotta say,
after watching MVP 2 and your MVP
1 synopsis, I no longer
want to watch MVP 1.
100%.
No, there's no reason to.
Yeah, I feel like it cannot possibly hold up
to what I just saw.
Ooh, I think I have a movie recommendation
for Monkey March, which isn't a real thing,
but it might become a real thing.
Let me find a trailer quickly.
I don't even know if this is part of it.
Should we wrap this up?
I definitely think we
should yeah but i want to see this trailer you're talking about okay give me a second let me pull it
up i'll drop it in it's uh it's the follow-up to this movie but it's not specifically related
i showed this to eric before i've never seen this movie i've had it recommended a lot by people in the audience. It's a film called Spy Mate. It's a James
Bond-like movie
with Richard Kind as the
main villain of the film,
also starring a young Emma
Roberts. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Spy Mate.
I just dropped it in our chat.
I'm going to watch this one-minute trailer.
I think Louis,
the chip that played Louis in the movie is also in this one minute trailer. I think Louie, the chip that played Louie
in the movie is also in this one
as the main character.
Only on DVD.
It's like they're bragging about that
out the gate.
Oh, wow.
Good lord.
They're flying!
Move over James Bond, move over parody of James Bond.
Got sword fighting, kicks the the guy fold out skateboard
uh
is that
is that Mr. Miyagi
is that Pat Morita
I don't know
I think they definitely
want you to think that
spy mate
uh that looks awesome it looks fantastic I think they definitely want you to think that. Spymate.
That looks awesome.
It looks fantastic.
2006.
Why wouldn't we watch that?
I think it has to go on the list.
When did real chimps get hoisted out of the movie industry?
I don't know. Relatively recently, I think, right?
Are we talking any type of monkey?
Because you think like the Hangover had a real monkey in it?
Bubbles?
I believe that one is called.
I just looked up when did we stop doing chimp movies,
and it is a PETA article from 2020 saying,
a decade ago, there were at least a dozen chimpanzees
working in Hollywood. There are officially a dozen chimpanzees working in Hollywood.
There are officially no more chimpanzees
in Hollywood as of July 2020.
Okay.
So yeah, it's very recent.
That's great.
Horses, though, still fine.
That movie, Spymate,
has Barry Bostwick in it,
Richard Kind in it,
Pat Morita and Emma Roberts.
And Louie, the monkey.
What a fucking cast
i can't wait to watch i can't wait to watch it either well there you go audience uh i hope you
enjoyed uh this watch along of mvp2 most valid sorry most vertical primate i want to make sure
i get that right and hopefully you will tune in sometime in the near future for 2003's Air Bud Entertainment Presents,
Spy Mate.
He's a spy and he's a primate.
Spy Mate.
And then sometime in the distant future, maybe in Monkey March, we will watch Dunstan Checks in.
Thank you for your time.
