Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi everyone, welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch bonus episode for April number one. Number one. Yay. It's Emily's surprise mystery birthday episode. What's it gonna be? Couldn't possibly have guessed it. You did not see it coming. There were no clues dropped ever.
Starting point is 00:00:39 But get ready. Hold on to your freaking butts because we're doing Paddington 2. Oh, baby. I can't believe my sweet friends are indulging me in this. I'm thrilled. We're thrilled. It's such a good, it's
Starting point is 00:00:55 such an important film. It's such an important film. Really what it is is it's just such an important film. Everyone should see it and that's also why so this episode is another live commentary track, similar to how we did The Sixth Sense, because you should watch
Starting point is 00:01:12 this movie. If you haven't seen it, you need to see it. I'm not just going to tell you about it so that you could not see it. You have to see it. This is one you must watch. This is a must watch. This is 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, ladies and gentlemen. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:01:27 It's so good. Not a single negative review exists for this movie. Oh my god. You're going to want to watch it. You're going to want to watch it. And if you've seen it before, you're going to want to rewatch it. Because why not? You're absolutely going to want to rewatch it.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I fucking love this movie. It is so joyful. I'm just really thrilled to get to watch it right now and to watch it with my friends and my Tony heads and it's just what could be better?
Starting point is 00:01:57 A birthday dream come true. It is a true birthday dream come true. We are recording this a few days before my birthday. I told you guys this feels like the true beginning of my birthday is We are recording this a few days before my birthday. I told you guys this feels like the true beginning of my birthday is getting to watch this movie. I feel like it's feels like my birthday too because this is
Starting point is 00:02:14 a dream for me as well and I'm so happy to celebrate you and you are also joyful and bring me a lot of joy like Paddington so it's just a real treat this is what a beautiful episode and it's going to be so
Starting point is 00:02:29 different from every other episode we've ever done so beautiful I mean look here's one that I'm going to say all parents can listen to this yeah this one's safe for moms this one is really safe for moms Henley had asked to be reminded of what happens in Paddington 1.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Okay, I'll say this. You don't need to watch Paddington 1 to watch Paddington 2. You can. And Paddington 1 is also good. It's not as good as Paddington 2. Agreed. Paddington 2 stands on its own. And you don't really need to watch Paddington 1.
Starting point is 00:03:03 The one thing that I think is important to know about going into Paddington 2 is, if you haven't seen Paddington 1, the fact that he's a bear who talks. And he is a bear. He's not a stuffed animal. He's a bear. The fact that he's a bear who talks and exists among humans, we're not explaining that. We're not dealing with it. It's not a thing. We're not questioning it. We're not questioning it. We with it it's not a thing we're not questioning it we accept it
Starting point is 00:03:27 he just is he is a bear and he does talk and he and that's fine that's fine with us and we didn't it's not an issue we didn't question it in Paddington 1 and we're not questioning it in Paddington 2 you never will have a moment
Starting point is 00:03:42 from a single character of a talking bear. No, no, it's just accepted. It's just accepted in the universe. And that's fine. And if you're not on board with that, I don't know what to tell you. Because that's crucial. OK, that's really important.
Starting point is 00:03:57 That's the only thing you need to know going in. Except a talking bear in Paddington one. Basically, he comes to London to any ends of living with the family, the Browns. So Paddington 1 basically he comes to London and he ends up living with a family the Browns so Paddington 2 we start he's living with the Browns and he's a bear in London and we love him
Starting point is 00:04:13 and he just wants to make people happy and do the right thing he's just a good bear he's just a good little bear god fucking dammit I'm so happy what are the odds you're going to get a Paddington 2 tattoo? I would
Starting point is 00:04:29 say it's definitely within the realm of possibility. As I get more tattoos, they get dumber and dumber. I love a dumb tattoo. And I would not put it past me to one day be like, yeah, Paddington 2. I mean, actually actually now that we're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 A marmalade sandwich. I already have an orange. I could put this marmalade sandwich next to my orange. It could be a marmalade sandwich. It could just maybe be his little bucket hat. You know what it could be. It could be the exact same graphic. That Sammy used on the Instagram.
Starting point is 00:05:02 It could be the same. Paddington Bear in shadow. With a big old question mark in the middle. And everyone you meet, you can say, do you know what this is? It could be a well,
Starting point is 00:05:16 I'll say it at the end of this movie because this is kind of a spoiler for this movie. Oh, yeah. No spoilers. No spoilers until we get there. Wow. I just really this you know, Oh, yeah. No spoilers. No spoilers until we get there. Wow. I just really this. You know, to know me is to know that I love Paddington, too.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And so here we are. And I'm thrilled to be sharing this moment with all of you. Should I give us some stats on the movie just for the freaking. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get some stats on the movie just for the freaking heck of it yeah fuck yeah let's get some stats on here baby it is directed by paul king and written by paul king and six others so i've never seen so many writers here so paul king simon farnaby michael bond mark burton john croker will smith probably a different will smith i hope it's the same one. But maybe that Will Smith. And Simon Stevenson. One of those is the author
Starting point is 00:06:08 I think of the original book. It's starring Ben Whishaw, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Michael Gambon, Mel DeStanton, Madeline Harris, Samuel Joslin, Julie Walters. The list goes on and on and on. I mean, there's so many great people in this
Starting point is 00:06:24 movie. So many good people. And let me just see if there's any fun trivia, should we? Yeah, if there's any fun trivia. I didn't think to look this up before. Oh, no. The first one's sad. We'll skip that one. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Nothing sad or scary is allowed on this podcast. Those are the rules. And yeah, okay. This is the best reviewed movie ever on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh my god, that's crazy. Literally a record holder. I mean, I would
Starting point is 00:06:54 die for this movie's reputation. It's Hugh Grant's favorite movie that he has done. And I remember someone making fun of Hugh Grant for this movie and him getting really heated defending it, saying Paddington 2 is an exquisite
Starting point is 00:07:10 film. And he got really defensive. I mean, rightfully so, because it's fantastic. And he's fantastic in it. He's so good in this movie. It is his best work. Absolutely. He is so good in this movie. It's perfect. He's perfect. Everyone in this movie it it's perfect he's perfect everyone in this movie
Starting point is 00:07:29 is perfect everyone about this movie is perfect it's 100 in my book and in everybody else's book and everybody's in all the books is 100 god fucking damn it there is a paddington 3 in the works oh my god i forgot um It will not be directed by Paul King who directed the first two. That makes me a little bit nervous, but he will still be involved. I think we can still do it. The bar has just been set very, very high.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I don't know how you compete with the best reviewed movie on Rotten Tomatoes. They're directed really well. They're directed so well. Paddington is a British character, Paddington Bear. I don't know if it was from a book, right? Yeah. I think so. I had Paddington
Starting point is 00:08:12 Bear books when I was growing up. Me too. And my mom had a Paddington Bear from London, like a stuffed animal from when she was a kid that I like had taken over from her because I just really liked it. He was really cute in his little raincoat. And I would like, I put it in my, this before I knew that I would love Paddington Bear. But I just like love this little Paddington and and I have him, but he no longer has his
Starting point is 00:08:33 outfit up there. Oh, Emily is showing us in her apartment. He is perched overlooking the living room. He is. I mean, this Paddington bear is 40-something years old, and at some point in my childhood, he lost his raincoat and hat,
Starting point is 00:08:52 and so someday I need to get him another raincoat and hat. But anyway, I just love, I have a love for Paddington that goes way, way back. Well, Tony Heads, we hope that we can pass this Paddington love on to you because if you don't love him you're about to
