Well, there is something very haunting about hearing Guy Montgomery from 10 years ago
telling me to love every moment, live every day, because before you know it,
your precious time slips away.
That, as I said in the episode, I don't know if I needed that mirror right now.
I don't know if I needed that self-confrontation.
An interesting ep.
Now, I'm going to take you guys behind the curtain a little bit with this one because i believe the reason that this well i know that this episode is a weird one in that
we watched in guy's bed while drinking white russians because it was just after i had broken
up with my girlfriend who i was living with and had to move out of that particular share house
slash flat depending on where you live and i was bunking in with guy briefly so this would have
been just before i met my now wife um a very uh consequential time in my life, I guess, when this exact episode was recorded.
So that was kind of special and interesting.
What else did I want to say about this episode?
I enjoyed listening to this one.
It was cool.
It is weird to think about, you know, the times back then.
And I won't do any spoilers on the central content of this award-winning,
what is sure to be an Oscar-nominated podcast
when the Oscars next year finally start accepting podcasts into their ranks.
But just kind of an interesting tidbit to hear a shout-out
for what we do in the shadows.
And then flash forward 10 years later,
I'm now working with one of the many many many stars of that film um mike minogue
on doing a bunch of podcast stuff isn't that cool and if you so we got what what we do in the
shadows is the movie that launched actually a few different tv shows you might know the us
show you might also know wellington paranormal which has been kicking around uh for a few years
now and well Paranormal
the podcast
is something that Mike's
just started putting out
so if you want to
if you're a fan
of New Zealand comedy
you should check that out
but anyway
I hope you enjoy this episode
and
that's it
that's Timbo
bye bye Feel that moment, love every day
Cause before you know it, your precious time slips away
Good day, good person.
Hello.
My name's Guy Montgomery.
And I am Tim Batt.
And welcome to the 19th episode of The Worst Idea of All Time,
a podcast in which Tim and I watch and review
Grown Ups 2 once a week for 52 weeks.
Why?
Well, that was a question that was posited
several times through the most recent viewing.
Now, things have been a little different this time.
We got a little cute, actually, with this week's podcast.
We watched the movie in my bed.
Yeah. After some white Russians in my bed. Yeah.
After some white Russians and red wine.
Yeah.
And then we didn't have the energy required.
Turns out if you watch Grown Ups 2 in a bed,
there's a very high chance that you're not going to have energy
to do anything afterwards.
So we just went to sleep, and now we've woken up.
It's a crisp Auckland morning.
We're in my lounge, huddled around a microphone, ready to break down the movie for you one more
time. And then after we've broken it down this one more time, we're going to be ready to break
it down for you 33 more times. Jesus Christ. And we actually got a little bit, before we get into
it, I think we have to thank some of our listeners,
namely a listener in Morocco.
Have you got the name available, Tim?
Nah.
I was trying to find it, sorry.
Keep talking.
We were sort of looking at each other last night saying,
let's just not watch it tonight.
Let's do it later.
But we got a message on our Facebook page from Morocco saying,
keep going from your boy in Morocco.
And that was the message actually which pushed us over the edge.
Similarly, we received a very positive email this week.
Yeah, I was trying to find that also.
I'm struggling a little bit.
I see.
But I mean, I think what's important here is that we acknowledge that these messages of support now hold weight.
They are now genuinely of importance and inspiration to us
as we trudge through sort of the middle leg of our journey,
I suppose you could say.
I mean, if you break it into thirds, Tim,
we are in the middle third right now.
And that's heartening.
We've done more than a third of our viewings.
I guess that's heartening.
But then you look at the other side of that and there's two thirds to go.
You're emanating a lot of negative energy right now.
You're disinterested.
You're hardly making eye contact with me.
I was trying to find the listener feedback.
My apologies for trying to involve other people in here.
Involve?
You haven't found either of the pieces of feedback.
You're just staring at the apps on your phone right now.
Yeah, I'm trying to find that.
Come on.
These people don't know how you feel about grown-ups too.
I don't like it.
I don't like the movie.
Hot tip.
Don't watch it.
It's rubbish.
Come on.
Now I've seen it 19 times.
That's a bad...
Think of all the other things in your life
you've done 19 times
that you enjoyed enough through 19 times.
Have you got any?
Okay, his name,
who got in touch from Morocco,
is Jemima. Jemima james that's a
girl's name here's a big keep it up boys from your listener in morocco it's nice to have a bit of home
with me as well as a weekly reminder not to watch the film two birds one stone jemima thank you so
much for your message um no i'm asking you in all seriousness tim you what was when's the last time
you did something 19 times because you liked it so much?
First thing that comes to mind is a hot shower.
No, but not like a...
Like a hot...
A hot shower,
that's sort of...
You know, I'd expect you
to do that repeatedly.
You've done that more than 19 times.
No, no.
Just the 19.
Read a book
or watched something or...
That's how much you like this movie well but no more no no no more what
you've confused is the um trap that we've laid for ourselves where we have to watch it this many
times for a voluntary action it's involuntary well last night we tried to rope my flatmates
into the experience tim came around while they were in the middle of watching a movie called
closer it's a fantastic movie.
It's Clive Owen,
Natalie Portman. Look at us climbing
into discussion
about another movie.
Clive Owen,
Natalie Portman,
Jude Law,
and Julie Roberts.
Very good looking cast.
It was actually based
on a play
and it's very dramatic.
Explores human relationships
and halfway through
Tim came in.
We all paused the movie
and said hi Tim
and then Tim and I
realised we had to
watch this movie
we propositioned to my
flatmates that they
could watch it too
for the first time
they've never seen it
they've both watched
Closer over five times
what do you think they did
they don't do a podcast
on the movie Closer
they just genuinely
like the movie
that much
it's because they don't
have Moxie like we do
they don't have
Gumption like we do
you know
you know what I mean
and we can bad mouth them all they want because I know for a fact they don't listen to this podcast you we do. They don't have gumption like we do. You know? Yeah. You know what I mean? And we can badmouth them all they want
because I know for a fact
they don't listen to this podcast.
You know what my problem with Maxie is?
He thinks he's so bloody great.
But guess what?
He was meant to clean up the pan
that Matty used to cook stir fry last night.
I'm looking across the lounge.
I see it just sitting there on the kitchen bench.
Hey, Max, clean your fucking pan for once.
Hey, Max, just do it, eh?
Just one time without being told. Would that be all right with you? Just one time? Would that be all good for once. Hey, Max, just do it, eh? Just one time without being told.
Would that be all right with you?
Just one time?
Would that be all good?
Good on you, Max.
I'll tell you what, though.
That man's a snappy dresser.
We've digressed.
Did you have a shining light last night
when we were watching Drunk in a Bed in your bed?
My shining light was probably...
I mean, part... Actually, no, it was reading,
the students had spray painted loser on the side of the principal's car.
I thought that was really funny.
And the principal wasn't like angry or like,
I'm going to find out the perpetrators of this crime.
He was like, and they spelled everything correctly.
These can't be my students.
I mean, you're going to be be a walkover if that's your attitude
towards kids spray painting your baby he called the car his baby and then somehow they they i mean
he you know one of our favorite lines hey that's my laptop that's not waterproof yeah how did the
kids get his laptop well he's he's he's inept this principle that's clear i mean he can barely
dress himself no that's his favorite t-shirt shirt from when he was 12 yeah but if he's inept this principal that's clear I mean he can barely dress himself no that's his favourite
t-shirt
shirt from when he was 12
yeah but if he's got
the kind of
if he's got the mind
of someone who thinks
that that's an acceptable
thing to wear
while you are the principal
of a high school
on the final day
before the summer
like you've got some
mental problems
I guess this thought
is opening up a whole new
world of possibility for me
and that
I mean maybe
elements of this
grown ups 2 world
are slightly surreal
it's not meant to be taken as a read on the universe in which we exist but maybe it's a slightly of possibility for me and that, I mean, maybe elements of this grown-ups 2 order are slightly surreal.
It's not meant to be taken as a read on the universe
in which we exist,
but maybe it's a slightly
augmented reality.
Well,
there's a lot of
tips of the hat to that
because when the guy
who's dressed as
Papa Smurf,
wait,
it's the same guy.
Yeah.
Oh my God,
maybe he's the only
fantastical element
in the grown-ups universe.
Maybe.
He's the warlock.
Maybe he's walked into this universe.
Sorry, I'll finish that thought because not everyone's seen the movie 19 times.
The principal attends the faders' big kick-off-the-summer party at the end of the movie,
and he's dressed as a smurf.
And this is an extension of something set up earlier.
When he's saying his goodbye speech over the loudspeaker to the whole high school
some of the kids
climb in through his roof
and pour blue paint
all over him
and it turns out
it's enough blue paint
to completely stain his body
from head to toe
semi-permanently
the way that he tells it
and then he dresses
as Papa Smurf
he's in a tree
getting drunk
while the party's going on
and then he jumps down
when the fight
starts erupting
lands on some people
and turns them all blue
from head to toe
four people
turns them blue from head to toe. Four people.
Turns them blue from head to toe.
With what I can assume is dried paint.
So he is fantastical in that sense.
That's so cool.
I wonder if he's the only fantastical. I mean, Nick, they kill and he survives.
So that's kind of a fantastical element.
It's a very cartoonish world, isn't it, really?
If you think about it.
But it's not enough to be kind of cartoonish in style.
It's just there's a couple of things where they got lazy
and didn't want to adhere to real world rules.
No, no, no, no, no.
Think about Officer Dante on the roof in the skis.
That could happen.
Shaquille O'Neal throwing that blonde guy like 500 metres.
Yeah, that's fantastical.
Man, I don't know.
You had a shining light.
Did I?
Yeah, you told me.
This is my shining light.
Remember?
Do you remember what it was?
It's not my job to remember your shining light.
I remember it was near the front of the movie.
Something I enjoyed today was the artwork that's in the fader's house
because I'd never noticed it before.
And it's just like every time that I see the movie now
and I notice something I didn't notice before,
it's like, oh, thank God, there's something else that I didn't.
Yeah, I found some more continuity errors too.
I don't remember them all,
but the yoga mats were too close together at squat aerobics.
Yeah, they do the wide shot and the yoga mats feather apart
and then they go in for the tight and they're too close together.
You're not fooling anyone, guys.
Hey, this is a nice email that we got, Guy.
This is truly my shining light, but it's not in the movie.
Alistair wakely says hey tim and guy i'm really
enjoying your worst idea of all time podcast if in the future someone launches a kickstarter style
website that aims to raise money to find therapy after creative projects going wrong i'd be happy
to chip in for it for you guys as a participant in your misery uh is interesting oh an interesting
thing happened during episode 18 at 23 minutes and 12 seconds in.
I suddenly found an overwhelming need to see the movie for myself.
I hated your warning to not watch so far, but I will defy you this weekend
and watch it secretly on my laptop in my garage.
Keep up the good work. Cheers, Al.
Now, I wonder what was said.
That's a great message.
Oh, I can pull that up.
What I wonder is, who are you watching it secretly from? Because it's not a great message. Oh, I can pull that up. What I wonder is,
who are you watching it secretly from?
Because it's not a secret from us anymore, Al.
Or anyone who listens.
Are you in an abusive relationship with grown-ups too
and you're hiding it from your partner or your kids?
I mean, we don't know a lot of your backstory, but...
I want to know what we said that was so intriguing.
Oh, goodness.
That was so intriguing in the last episode
that it made him want to watch the movie.
Because we've warned you guys so many times to not, you know?
No, but it does...
We must be approaching critical mass.
I mean...
23-12.
That's what we're looking for here.
Are we...
This is...
Oh, no.
Hold up.
Let me turn that down.
All right, 20...
This sounds like
An awful
Awful
Couple of people singing
Come on
In the meantime
We've got to think of a
Top
Top three as well
For this watch
I'll tell you what
My top three drinks
That I drank before
I watched the movie last night
Boom
Red wine
Boom
White Russians
And boom
I had a beer too
So those are my top three
Wow
That's a real Hot mess you put inside yourself Yeah No wonder I fell asleep night boom red wine boom white russians and boom i had a beer too so those are my top three that's
a real hot mess you put inside yourself yeah no wonder i fell asleep uh my top three my top three
moments in the movie last night um were my top oh fuck bro this is a bad moment in the podcast
i just don't have a top three you don't have one at all okay well while you're thinking guy um let's have a listen to the bit that al was talking about in last week's episode that made him
want to watch the movie well right we've talked about this we have not we have not talked about
i just sprang it on you now um i mean i'd do it yeah oh okay he's talking about the moment when
i revealed that if grown- Ups 3 ever gets made,
we're going to watch it for two years in a row.
That's not a real revelation, by the way.
That was a joke revelation.
Well.
Is it?
Look at us.
Look at where we are right now.
Yeah, let's paint a picture.
I don't mean, we don't need a physical picture.
We're hunched.
We don't need a physical picture for these people.
We need a, I think you need a mental picture for yourself.
All right? Don't go there, man. Well, no. I think you need a mental picture for yourself. Alright? Don't go
there, man. Well, no. I don't
need a mirror up to myself right now.
There's one thing I don't need right now. We haven't even watched it 20
times yet, of 52. Yeah.
And you are fucking
miserable. Yeah, man. Like, you can't even
bring yourself, you can barely bring yourself
to watch the movie. You're suggesting
that we should watch the sequel
to the sequel 104 times. Yeah, I am suggesting that we should watch the sequel to the sequel
104 times.
Yeah,
I am saying that,
Guy,
because sometimes
good things are hard.
You're loaded
with self-loathing.
Sometimes things
that are worthwhile
aren't easy.
Not everything's easy,
Guy.
In fact,
some of the best stuff's hard.
You've got to work.
You've got to work for it.
You've got to work at it.
There's no,
no,
no,
no,
just no.
Last night,
the other thing that you said
which was quite funny
was you thought
maybe we fucked up here
maybe you need to have seen
and this tells me
how deep you are
in the world of
this podcast
maybe you need to have seen
Grown Ups 1
to appreciate
Grown Ups 2
yeah exactly
maybe there's a whole lot of stuff
that we're not
fully getting down with
and I said
this movie is so
outlandishly terrible
that there's no way a prequel,
well, it's not a prequel because it was made before it,
there's no way the first Grown Ups can qualify this movie existing.
But I think you should be open to the possibility.
I'm open to the possibility that Grown Ups is better than Grown Ups 2.
I'm not open to the possibility that I'll watch Grown Ups
and then suddenly a whole lot of stuff will click into place
and I'll look at Grown Ups 2 and think,
that movie is actually a triumph. It's very very clever it's loaded with callbacks to the
first film here's what got me thinking about it because i was like in the first movie i kind of
know loosely what happens i think they will go to a like a holiday house a cabin in the woods style
thing for a holiday all the families they come together and so i think the kids are in there
sort of as bit parts and maybe you meet um keithy and greg and i'm saying those
kids and you're like what a and becky and becky but i'm saying what if you meet those two boys
and you're like what a dynamic duo of comedy that was so funny i want to see a movie where they're
more prominent in it but then they just kind of fucked up the execution with grown-ups too
is that a possibility that wouldn't change the fact that you that grown-ups doesn't make grown-ups
too good.
Oh, yeah.
What you said in that sentence was they fucked up the execution.
So grown-ups too, regardless of whether or not you've seen the first one,
are still rubbish.
But it might add a bit of enjoyment.
It might justify it a little bit more.
I'm sure it does.
It has to justify it a little bit.
No.
Should stand on its own.
No.
I think I've been thrown because I was talking to Jermaine,
Jermaine Ross long time listener
of this podcast
and he said that he went
and saw
oh he didn't go
he saw it on TV
movie 43
have you heard of that
it's a
it's a skip movie
isn't it
yeah
with a star studded cast
a huge cast
Hugh Jackman
was like the first person
they signed up to it
and then from there
they managed to sign up
all these other people
and
who were all just trying to get laid with Hugh Jackman yeah oh yeah and why wouldn't you I'd sign up to it and then from there they managed to sign up all these other people and um who were all just trying to get laid with hugh jackman yeah oh yeah and why wouldn't you i'd sign up to a movie with
hugh jackman involved attached to the project but apparently it's one of the like i've just heard so
many terrible things it's the worst movie ever made that it's the least funny movie ever made
that's terrible and jimane was like yeah i heard all those things i watched it i thought it was
funny so i think that kind of threw me a little bit and
i was then trying to go back and justify other movies in my life or movies that i hadn't seen
which i assumed were bad it got me thinking is what i'm saying but there's always going to be
movies which get critically panned which you specifically enjoy yeah van wilder party liaison
am i right i don't think they got too critically panned. I'm pretty sure it did.
But I don't understand.
No, I still don't follow your logic,
your line of thinking here,
and that watching grown-ups might suddenly make grown-ups too good.
If you've already watched a movie 19 times
and haven't enjoyed it,
the likelihood of one thing, one trigger,
suddenly flipping your whole reading
and perception of the movie on its head
to the point that you go,
actually, no, this is brilliant.
I was wrong.
It's highly unlikely.
Yeah, you're right.
I'd say nigh on impossible.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
What I'm trying to say is that I think my whole logic got thrown a little bit
by finding out that Jermaine enjoyed movie 43.
But then again, maybe Jermaine's just an idiot.
You know?
That's a possibility too.
That's a possibility.
There's a world of possibilities out there.
Hey, I noticed a fly in this
yeah you did
in the viewing last night
that was exciting for me
because I'd never noticed it
where was it
for all of our people
who are also watching
the movie this many times
super early in the movie
we're in the
fader's household
and
is it when they're
coming down the stairs
I think it's yeah
like a couple shots
after that
Bowser's just about
to be scared
off by the deer that's come into the house.
And, yeah, you can see a fly move from right to left of shot.
It's there.
It's in there.
I saw...
I wonder if the fly gets credited.
I'll bet it doesn't.
Yeah, almost definitely not.
You'd think they would have taken it out in post.
You would think.
Maybe the editor put it in in post
do you reckon there's more easter eggs
waiting for us
I think someone involved in the operation
was like you know what
I'll bet you two people watch this movie 52 times
actually there's another theory
you posited last night Tim
you thought maybe they made a great film
and the editor dropped the ball
yeah
talk about that
well I was basing that on
last week we watched some behind the scenes footage and deleted scenes and the editor dropped the ball. Yeah. Now, talk about that. Well, I was basing that on last week we watched some behind-the-scenes footage
and deleted scenes.
And the deleted scenes were...
They were pretty funny, I thought.
And again, you mentioned this,
it might be just compared to the movie
that we've been exposed to so many times.
It was just the change is good
was what we experienced.
Change alone made us happy.
But, nah, they were funny.
They were at least moderately funny.
And those were the ones that got left on the cutting room floor.
Yet, inexplicably, the lines that were left and the takes that were left in the actual finished product did terrible.
How much control was the editor wielding?
I mean, do you feel like those deleted scenes were ad-libbed and Adam Sandler and the fellow writers have too much ego that they said,
alright, that might be funnier, but we're going to use the movie that we wrote
I actually
don't think Adam Sandler cares enough
like I believe that he'd be that
bigger dick but I don't think anyone cared
enough about Grown Ups 2 to make that kind of call
that was another moment but they were laughing
they were laughing behind the scenes when they were making the movie
they had a cold dead look in their eyes
but they were laughing Tim
Adam Sandler, Dennis Dugan
Chris Rock I saw laughing
they were all laughing at moments
Chris Rock doesn't even laugh in character in the movie
that's a decision he made
as an actor
he thought Kurt McKenzie
he's struggling to make ends meet maybe
this guy's not laughing at these
outlandish hijinks
he's probably thinking I'm really neglecting my job and in doing so, my family.
Imagine if the movie, instead of being taken,
because loosely it's from the point of view of Adam Sandler, I guess,
and the fate of family,
but if it was just solely from the perspective of Chris Rock's character
and he's fucking dark that his high school friend has gone on to huge success
and has all this money and an incredibly smoking wife.
Three great kids.
Do you know what?
This is an interesting movie.
I mean,
Chris Rock's character
has still got a good life.
He's still got a,
he's got a beautiful,
beautiful wife
that I ruled off.
He's got fantastic children.
Oh,
including his,
his comic genius
son.
Son.
Dot Ronnie.
Go Ronnie.
But,
but you can't help
but compare yourself to people who are in your life,
your friends and stuff.
And the fact of the matter is the Faders are shitting diamonds.
They're so rich.
And he's in relative squalor.
I mean, that word relative is important here.
Then maybe David Spade's looking at Chris Rock and going nah David Spade's
too much of the
like positive idiot
I think for that
to let him
affect him
like I think that
much like his character
in Joe Dirt
he's just kind of happy
to just take it as it comes
doesn't matter what's up
okay
whereas Chris Rock's
more cognizant of the fact
Kevin James is the most
cognizant of the fact
Kevin James doesn't love
his kids or his wife
no
if anyone if we should be following anyone in a movie about bitter jealousy over success,
we should be following Kevin James.
And he just lashes out at everyone.
He takes it out on everyone around him.
He just makes mean-spirited jokes about his kids to himself.
To himself.
In front of his kids and wife.
To himself.
This is what me and Guy keep banging on about every time it's on now.
In that scene. It's just like, who are you these these puns to at the expense of your children like no one
else is there to enjoy them you're just making them for your own self-gratification focusing
self-confidence here with rjd2 yeah that's not good he's a dick and so to i mean god to be in
that mind for a whole movie would be terrifying it would be a psychological thriller
if we were following Kevin James' character
certainly would
actually let's go through
let's assess the genre if we were following
each of the cast characters
if we were going through
the eyes of Chris Rock's character
McKenzie
it would be less of a pure comedy
and more of a dramedy yeah yeah there'd be there'd
be sort of moments of existential um like there'd be these long sort of wandering shots of just
chris rock walking around the town because they pass a whole day but it was an action-packed day
in the world of grown-ups too i feel like if he's got one appointment between 8 a.m and 4 p.m
that he's still neglecting there's gonna be big swaths of footage of him just
walking through a park in autumn
even though it's first day of summer in this movie it's autumn
and the leaves are falling down around him he's just looking down
at the leaves wondering
as the leaves fall
so too does
his expectations of what his life could become
as the time slowly slips away
and he moves further into the grave
and he realises that the grave and he realizes
that actually this is it this is my life it's not going to change it's not going to improve
this is what it's all about you could soundtrack it um with some we've moved beyond the realms of
dramedy into just sort of i'd go craft work would be how i'd uh soundtrack that movie oh i quite
like that uh now kevin j, it would be insane, man.
Just a rage-filled lunatic.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Quentin Tarantino directs Kevin James in a revenge flick.
Who's he taking revenge against?
Adam Sandler.
Salma Hayek was Kevin James' girlfriend in high school.
Yeah.
And he's kept Adam Sandler close.
And the tagline is, keep your friends close.
Yeah.
Keep your enemies closer. Do you tagline is, keep your friends close. Yeah. Keep your enemies closer.
Do you know why this movie, like, wouldn't work?
Because if it was the same character Kevin James is playing,
who I assume Kevin James is just playing himself.
He's not that good an actor.
There's no way you could get on board with him as the audience.
Like, he's not even an anti-hero.
Kevin James played by Jamie Foxie fox so you want him to
make django but change some of the title some of the title characters i want django to play
eric laminsoff in the world of grown-ups too but um like in a different if selma hayek ditched
kevin james at high school it's because Kevin James deserved it. Yeah, and then...
No, okay, so get this, though.
Then Kevin James comes back into the city.
Yeah.
But he's had a lot of work done,
and now he looks like Jamie Foxx.
Okay.
Was there more to that thought, or was that a...
Nope, nope, that's the thought.
Okay, so Quentin Tarantino directs
Kevin James' revenge action flick...
About losing his high school girlfriend.
It's more... It's a better movie than that. Oh, look, losing his high school girlfriend it's more
it's a better movie
than that
oh look
hey
no doubt
it's a better movie
don't get me wrong
David Spade
David Spade's movie
is
I keep coming back to
it's basically
just Joe Dirt
which is like
a fun
you get the tone right
it's just a fun comedy
of downtrodden
a downtrodden hero
relax in on it
does that make it sound
a little more classy
what are those
last of the garden dig it that's my model and here's another one what's the one he says about Kip On Truck comedy of downtrodden, a downtrodden hero. Relaxing on it. Does that make it sound a little more classy? What are those ones?
Last of the Garden,
dig it,
that's my model.
And here's another one.
What's the one he says about keep on trucking?
You gotta keep on,
keepin' on.
You gotta keep on,
keepin' on.
We should actually probably get that tattooed on our forearms.
Gotta keep on,
keepin' on.
Yeah,
just to remember.
Yeah.
To finish the movie.
Yeah.
The other thing I wanted to talk about quickly,
because we're running out of time here,
Tim,
was I wanted to do a plug for a local movie I saw
What We Do In The Shadows
which they don't really need our help
there's so many local movies that are coming out this month
and that one does not need our help
I know but it was fucking great
yeah it was really funny
and it is genuinely for me
I don't watch enough movies really I don't think
watching any movie which isn't Grown Ups 2 now
I think this movie
is making me lose perspective
on how much I enjoy other movies
I know
in the same way
that watching the deleted scenes
of Grown Ups 2
like I was measuring them
against Grown Ups 2
as the movie
rather than measuring them
against other comedy clips
and I thought they were really great
every movie I watch now
I'm not measuring against
all movies ever
I'm measuring it mostly against grown ups too
and accordingly my perspective is skewed
and saying that I thought what we do in the shadows
was a fantastic time
yeah it's hard to not paint
cinema as a whole
with a brush that has been
dabbed in grown ups too
we get very gun shy about seeing movies now is what I'm trying to say
but did you see Fantail
that's another great New Zealand film.
Well, I went to go and see Fantail on opening weekend, and the good news for the makers
of Fantail was that it sold out.
That's good.
I was listening to a New Zealand movie yesterday called Jake, which is pretty good.
Oh yeah, I saw the trailer for that.
Yeah.
Was it good?
It's fucking interesting, eh?
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Look, it's got a very interesting premise.
Yeah.
They pulled it off, I think, and they made it for nothing.
That's great.
We've diverged.
Do you want to know how much Grown Ups 2 took to make?
I can't remember, but it was tens of millions.
It was like 40 million or something.
And interestingly, this will be the last podcast we do for a little while in a room together.
The next podcast will be happening across the equator,
all the way from London, England to Auckland, New Zealand.

what time would you prefer to do it in the day the morning
