We saw a surf too, so you know what that means.
How you staying alive?
They call him a badass and he's
We are live
on our our Doppo Ganger tour
to talk about
a surf classic.
This movie came out in 1984, rated R, and the IMDb tagline or log line is, a disgruntled nerd who has been bullied in high school creates BuzzCola, a soft drink that turns surfers into zombies.
Way to fucking go, IMDB.
That's not a description, that's a straight-up spoiler.
And it actually simplifies how complex this movie is.
It's not just about that.
It's about so many things.
So many things.
And,
you know, surf two.
There is no surf one.
There is no surf three.
But they did have a sense of humor about it because the tagline for this film was the end of a trilogy.
So I do like that.
Yes, this movie was
really
like in development hell after it was shot.
Like multiple recuts had to be done.
They had to add a lot of boobs to like make it releasable,
which is a crazy thing to say.
but also explains why the boobs are so segmented in the film.
It's like, hmm, odd.
So, we will break all of this down, but before I can do that, I must introduce to you my co-host.
Please welcome to the stage, Mr.
Jason Manzukas.
What's up, jerks?
Let's go!
Let's go, Seattle!
Wow!
Wow!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Here we go.
Give it up for the balcony.
Holy shit.
Let the bodies hit the floor.
Let's go.
Well, well, well, Jason, surf to.
I loved it.
I
loved it.
It had two of my favorite things.
Eric Stultz and a guy getting slapped in the face by titties.
Let's go, Seattle!
Let's
go!
Best afternoon in the hotel room.
How did it take me five hours to watch this?
It always,
always happens to me when I watch a movie like this.
The nudity comes on at the most inappropriate time.
I was caught with the nudity, full, full nudity going on while getting like a drink from the stewardess and the flight attendant and also the guy who is sleeping next to me woke up.
So that...
They knew.
They were like, I bet that iPad's playing titties.
Let's go.
And it was the first time where I was like, fuck it.
I'm not turning this down.
I'm just going to...
I'm embracing that whatever I am, I am.
I'm like, this is it.
This is what I watch.
You should judge me.
You should make a card like Steve Martin has that card he hands out that says this card signifies that you've officially met Steve Martin or whatever.
One that you give to flight attendants or for people on transportation where you're watching a movie with nudity that's just a hyperlink to this episode.
Catch me in three months, and you'll all understand why I needed to see this nudity.
But sometimes when I know nudity is going on, I'll just put my finger to block it.
Just your finger, not your hand.
You still got to see what's going on.
I got to see what's going on.
So sometimes I have been known to go like this.
Just like.
Just a little finger, bra?
yeah yeah just put her in a bra guys put her in a bra
these are catchphrases that are over a decade old
let's
let's wrap our minds around that tonight we'll say put her in a bikini or put him in a bikini so
or put them out of bikinis all of them
all right so to break down this film There's a person who is a how did this get made all-star.
She is filling in on this tour for our great June Diane Raphael, but she is a world-class comedian, actress, the co-host of The Deep Dive.
Please welcome Jessica St.
Clair.
Hello.
Welcome.
Jessica.
Woo!
I am so excited that you are here.
And if you've been listening, if you know a little bit about this tour, we have subjected you to a lot of male chests, a lot of sexuality.
We called this tour the doppelganger tour, but I really think it's more of the beefcake tour.
It sure is.
Yeah.
Because it has been hairless male bodies for days.
And it's like...
It's like, you know, Jason requests that there are twix backstage.
Hey.
I'm not going to apologize for it.
And so every night I'm like, huh, I'll treat myself to a Twix.
Well, here's the thing.
Too many Twix is a bad thing.
Just like seeing so many abs, hairless abs, starts to make you feel sick.
This movie made you feel a little sick.
This made me actually, and I'm not joking, gag on the plane.
I almost threw up.
Oh, wait.
I can't wait.
I never saw an ass crack.
That was.
So hairy.
So hairy.
So hairy.
So hairy.
So hairy.
No judgment, but just don't put it on film.
Okay, no judgment.
That's so much hair.
But my guess is it was during the eat off.
That's right.
So it was 7 a.m.
I flew from LAX to Seattle, 7 a.m.
I'm watching it.
I'm crammed between two very large men.
And
all the boobs.
Yeah.
All the boobs are coming.
And I just want to.
All the boobs are coming.
All the boobs are out.
So that's weird.
And then, and so the guys were clocking it, like, what the fuck is going on at 7 a.m.
Can you imagine St.
Claire sits down in your plane and starts just like fires up hard nudity?
Truly, that's what it was like.
7 a.m.
7 a.m.
You want to watch it?
There are boobs every 15 minutes in this movie, like clockwork.
And honestly, it should be a lot.
Yes!
So I'm watching it.
I'm in a little matching sweatsuit.
You know, I'm watching all these boobs and then it got to that scene and I was like, ho, oh,
ha, ha, ha.
I would have loved it if you barfed on the plane for me.
You literally almost did anyway.
Well, you know where I was already upset?
This movie, look,
every 15 minutes there's boobs and there's also every 15 minutes there's a very long surfing scene.
Loved it.
I love that
I loved that.
It seems,
I would believe it if it was all B-roll that they'd purchased from a surf house.
I think they're all good.
Definitely.
Definitely.
But also, they've got like real songs.
They've got the beach boys.
They've got real versions of these songs.
Not just the beach boys.
Except for the Chariots of Fire Frog Race, which is very much a sound-alike.
But beautifully done.
Working.
Beautifully shot.
Gorgeous.
This movie, let me be clear, is top to bottom, T2B, fucking great.
I was very nervous by the poster I was like oh okay is this gonna be a gross out movie and I was like no this is a movie about teens falling in love falling out of love finding purpose and fighting against the law community you know it was a it was it was about activism this movie
I don't know about that
It was about the horrors of soda and what soda can do to our insides.
And how parents just don't understand.
Yep.
Where I got nauseous and I had to rewind it was...
Because you wanted to get nauseous.
Who actually felt physically ill watching this film?
So many.
Okay, so we said that.
You're welcome.
No.
You're welcome.
What was going on, and I found out later, I believe, but when they showed that close-up of a person's foot and it had those giant knots, and then later we heard about about knee knots and I was like oh no I think it was glue don't you mean when they were glued to the surfer no no this is in the opening sequence I'm sorry they just show a foot with like it looks like just big cysts yeah like giant cysts and that like it was like oh they clearly ran out of like the usable surf footage and they're like here's some b-roll of surfers of terrible injuries because they also show another guy like getting out of the water, like fixing his crotch, like
pulling the suit down.
I'm like, this is not funny, funny, it just looks like he's uncomfortable.
But then
we get to the school and what I love about this movie is it immediately makes no sense because the kids are trying to leave school and they're told, well, it's the weekend.
That's right.
Like they can't leave school on the weekend.
But
when the first guy, I don't even know his name is, maybe it's, I don't know, when he tries to eat through the fence, Okay.
Yes.
This guy is a goddamn legend.
Yes, he is.
They clearly got him riled up as to like, you're Belushi in Animal House.
You're our movie's Belushi, right?
So every scene you're in, you just demolish everything.
And he did.
And he straight up does not.
But what's interesting is in this opening scene, he bites through a chain link fence.
That's right.
What we later see is that one of the things that happens when the kids are, spoiler alert, turned into vampires.
No, no, zombies.
zombies.
Zombies, but they are zombies that, like, ingest acid and metal.
And so they already, so he has the skill.
That's interesting.
He already has the skill set that the zombie kids have, but he's never had a Buzz Cola.
No.
This kid has a 53 IQ.
They say a one.
And he said he cheated.
Because he cheated.
I wish the movie had been about him full stop.
Me too.
He was electric.
He was electric too.
He is, you can't get enough of him.
Every time he's in there, he's hilarious.
Like, go get your brother.
He picks him up, throws him out the door.
What about when he made that convertible out of the car?
Okay, so ingenious.
Here's the thing.
When that happened, and I can't guarantee this is true because my memory is porous.
Yes.
When that happened, I had a vivid memory of seeing this movie when I was a kid.
I'm sure you did.
I'm sure we all saw it.
Older kids were playing it at like a thing that was like families got together and kids had rented a movie and the fact that the older kids had rented a movie.
And so I was sitting there
and there was boobs in the movie.
I remember that.
But I vividly remember Chain sawing the roof off the car.
And then my parents coming in when there was like nudity and being like, wait, what's going on back here?
That's the 80s.
Come on,
we're going.
Let's get out of here.
And I feel like this movie was powerfully important to me as a child.
It might be a lot of fun.
It's almost as if it's informed certain things that have become very important.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I.
Your parents got upset that you were watching Anudity?
I suspect so.
Although,
I think they were more upset because they were fine with it if it was like, if I'd been like, can we watch this?
And they'd be like, oh, yeah, okay, that's fine.
Well, my parents caught me watching Risky Business on Thanksgiving at my grandma's.
Now that's the saddest.
Again, there is only so much room in his books for sad stories.
Oh, there will be sequels.
There has to be a sequel because we're about to hear one.
Okay, what happened?
You're all alone.
I was sitting there.
For the sequel, Joyful Recollections of Joy's Past.
These are the good stories.
These are the fun ones.
I was sitting there and I was watching Risky Business and my mom came in and she's like, you shouldn't be watching this.
Yeah.
And then left.
Here we go.
But it was never like, it wasn't told, like, change the channel.
And I was like, okay.
It's a Charles Dickens story, but
Jesus.
And I watched it and I learned a lot about women.
And it occurs to me that people who didn't see the movie might not understand what's going on.
So do you think people who saw the movie don't know what's going on?
Would it, would it?
Nobody knows what's going on.
Here's the thing.
This movie is a repressed memory we all had from our childhood.
I think we would gain a lot if I just read the crawl that happens at at the beginning of the day.
Okay, thank you.
I forgot there was a crawl.
I helped us understand what's going on.
Which is on grandpa.
Long ago in the good old days, surfers ruled.
It was bitching.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
That was before the threat of chemical pollution, nuclear waste, and the horror of Buzz Cola.
Menlo Schweizer was a high school genius who hated surfers.
He invented a weird soft drink, involved local businessmen, and set out to rule the coast.
He nearly succeeded.
Did you not see this?
Honestly, I have no memory of this.
Wait a second.
Did only I have this?
Wait, hang on.
Raise your hand if you want to.
Ooh, that's not many people.
Hang on.
There's multiple versions of this movie.
This would have helped me.
I saw it on YouTube.
Maybe they cut it out.
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
The director's cut.
The director's cut is what I saw or what they saw?
What are the differences, Jafar?
First of all, she's in costume.
It's the Jafar.
It's Jafar.
It's Jafar.
Jafar's back?
Yeah!
Oh, shit, that's a great costume.
Great work, great work, great work.
That's terrifying.
What are the notable differences?
A director's cut explains the plot and a crawl at the beginning.
And when the actor comes to these,
you fucking naughty.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
Great work.
So now, my question.
Raise your hand or cheer if you saw the version with the crawl, the director's cut.
Great.
So now, if you didn't see that, cheer and raise your hand.
Wow!
Hey!
Oh, wow!
Yeah!
Wow.
Well, by the way,
I signed up for some service I've never heard of.
Me too, yes!
What the fuck?
Just a reminder.
Cancel yours.
If you're listening now, cancel that subscription.
I don't even know how, Paul.
This is also a reminder if you joined MGM Plus.
GM Plus, you got it.
Do you think you should unsubscribe from that.
Yeah,
I know that this movie was re-released on Vinegar Syndrome, which has done a lot of the movies that we have done.
Great company.
But yeah, I didn't get that crawl.
Wow, I wonder what else it is.
I'm so curious.
So yes, the crawl.
Oh, I didn't even finish it.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, there's so much more.
By the way,
it kind of wrecks it.
I like figuring out.
The Galactic Senate meets to...
Oh, wait, wrong crawl.
He invented a weird soft drink, involved local businessmen, and set out to rule the coast.
He nearly succeeded.
This is the story of Buzz Cola and Menlo's revenge.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
And as you said earlier, there is no surf one, even, and this the subtitle of this movie is The End of the Trilogy.
Yes, that's the greatest.
I think it has great.
This movie is in on the joke, 100%.
100%, but I also feel like it pushes in ways where it's like, are you?
Like, and that's what makes it so interesting is like it's so weird yeah and they're like Clevon Little is in love
insane
clearly does not want to be there who is this which is Clevon Little is Dadio Dadio
genius who is everywhere from blazing saddles for no reason oh yeah so yeah Cleveland Little Beaker and do you think Beaker is named as such because he looks like the Muppet Beaker
like real talk for sure right
because he's a science teacher.
Clevon Little, at certain points, if you watch him, you will just see him sitting in scenes
motionless.
And they become bits.
It almost felt like he, and I've seen Clevelon Little in other things.
He is doing the Blazing Saddles performance in this.
He is commenting.
He is making choices, but he is just checked out.
He might have needed health insurance.
Do you know what I mean?
Sometimes I'll be on
something with an older actor, and they're like, Between you and me, it was about to run out.
And they'll always say, You know what?
I think I'm doing in this scene?
I'm off-screen folding laundry.
Like, so they can get out of the scene.
Because he really, I would forget he was in the movie, then he'd pop back in again.
You forget about Mr.
Daddyo.
Daddyo is fabulous.
He's fabulous, even though he's giving 1%.
All of the adults in this movie are for real legends.
Like, Ruth Buzzies in this movie.
There are,
every time someone showed up, I was like, holy shit, Horshak's here?
What the fuck are we doing?
Horshak, who plays an idea of the corrections.
Like the horny deputy.
Inspector underwear.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
And his boss, Chief Boy RD.
Chief Boy RD.
Chief Boy RD, who later says, later in the movie insists, I love Spaghetti Os.
I was like, this movie is a fucking gold mine.
Tron Aries has arrived.
I would like you to meet Aries, the ultimate AI soldier.
He is biblically strong and supremely intelligent.
You think you're in control of this?
You're not.
On October 10th.
What are you?
My world is coming to destroy yours, but I can help you.
The war for our world begins in IMAX.
Tron Aries, PG-13.
Maybe inappropriate for children under 13.
Only in theaters, October 10th.
Get tickets now.
So, um, I was just parking my car, and then I saw you.
A Gecko, a huge fan.
I'm always honored to meet fans out in the wild.
The honor is mine.
I just love being able to file a claim in under two minutes with the Geico app.
Well, the Geico app is top-notch.
I know you get asked this all the time, but could you sign it?
Sign what?
The app?
Yeah, sure.
Oh, that means so much.
Oh, it rubbed off the screen when I touched it.
Could you sign it again?
Anything to help, I suppose.
You're the best.
Get more than just savings.
Get more with Geico.
For a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac extra-value meal for $8.
That means two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries, and a drink.
We may need to change that jingle.
Prices and participation may vary.
Now, let me ask you this.
Was this around the same time as a naked gun?
Was this pre-naked gun, post-I mean, this is probably Bill and Ted?
closer to Bill and Ted is 84?
Yeah, maybe.
Right?
Am I right?
86?
Where am I wrong?
I'm just wondering what cannon worries.
Yes, but I feel like, or we're closer to police story than we are Naked Gun.
Go ahead.
Really, what this movie is, in many respects, is
Porky's, but funnier.
Yes.
Right?
Like, Porky's was the hit.
Well, it does have Bill.
It does have Bill and Ted's energy.
You know what I mean?
Like,
the winkiness of it.
Porky's still isn't in on the joke the way I feel like this movie.
Absolutely not, but I feel like they're kind of chasing the success of sex, kids, crazy.
And I feel like, and that's...
Sex, kids, crazy.
That's the t-shirt.
Or is it?
Or is it?
Now, hang on.
I guess what I couldn't quite wrap my head around was this movie was released.
in a movie theater.
Wow.
Like, somebody opened up their newspaper and went, what should we see?
Surf too?
And then people went.
I don't know how many, but it definitely was an option on a marketing.
And people must have been confounded.
Yeah.
The way that I was.
It took me 10 minutes to be like, oh, wait a minute.
I love this.
Well, this is a scene that I think.
When he starts up the ambulance game in the arcade
and it just drives away, I'm like, this is, we don't do this anymore.
And honestly, we should.
This movie's got
fucking jokes and tits.
Here's the thing.
Even in
the world that this movie is like, oh, we're doing jokes and we're doing bits.
They stand by and they react like, oh my god, they're shooting at our guys.
Oh, my God.
But they never say, wait, stop.
No, in fact, they never stop.
They allow it to heighten from handguns to machine guns to hand grenades.
They lob a hand grenade into the lifeguard hut and everybody walks out like,
by the way, I had such a crush on that girl.
Not the sublime.
Corinne Borer?
Yeah.
Am I close?
Also, huge crush.
Yeah.
Huge crush on that.
And she's great.
Everybody, that's the other thing, too.
Eric Stoltz is in this.
Eric Stoltz.
Delivering like nuanced work, I would argue.
I really felt in many ways Eric was in a different movie, a different film.
He brings a certain gravity gravy to the story.
He does.
He's like, I could see him as a guy who's, you know, got a dad that's doing bad things and he just wants to surf, you know, and be there for his buds.
Yeah.
But he's got an intelligence, you can tell, that's separating him from the rest of the group, especially from Mr.
Bighead.
Mr.
Bighead, can I show you the scene that blew my mind when I was already enjoying it?
When this scene went on, my mind exploded.
Incredible.
This is incredible.
The split kitchen.
This is straight from Annie Hall.
This is incredible.
Walk your mouth in front of your father.
Walk your mouth in front of your mother.
Sorry.
What do you and the boys have planned today?
Go to the beach.
Gotta practice.
I thought that the surfing beach was closed.
It is.
We're screwed.
We're going to go to the public beach.
I'm surprised.
That's nothing but a closed-out shore break.
Welcome to you.
This is great directing.
Yeah, that's this is great acting.
This is when I was like, oh, this movie not only knows what it is, but is excellent at it.
Because a dumb version of one of these movies, the version that we might do otherwise on this show, would never attempt this ever.
Never mind calling it back multiple times and heightening it by moving the camera around and you realize there's no wall between them.
They're looking at each other.
Incredible, genuinely incredible.
When they open up the fridge and you can see them through the fridge, I was like, so funny.
Do you understand?
Other people watched Craven the Hunter.
Do you realize how good you had it?
I enjoyed it.
They didn't see they watched two hours and 20 minutes of no sexual chemistry whatsoever.
I just saw zombies have more sexual chemistry than exists in Craven the Hunter.
But it also feels like this movie is like they're having fun, but then there are these moments where you're like, but then they let people have too much fun.
Well, that's here's where I'm,
I'm just going to throw a little fly in the ointment here.
Please.
Something like that.
In the suntan lotion.
Yeah, in the lotion.
I didn't put it.
No?
No.
Do you know, buddy?
Don't, or I will get off this stage and I will not break it.
I'm not joking, and it's not funny.
What is happening?
It's not funny, and he knows it.
Wait, I'm not laughing.
Nobody's laughing on this stage.
That's a thing.
Don't do it.
If you put it,
honestly,
don't.
Don't think about it.
Put your microphone down.
It's not funny, and don't.
What is going on?
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
He's not doing it.
He's a big one.
He rubs the load off.
It's good.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
It's not funny.
Can I say one thing?
No.
If it's going to be a line for the movie, I'm not going to be a good one.
I'm not a line for the movie.
I'm not going to be a good person.
I'll call June right now.
No, not a line for the movie.
Don't make me blow this marriage up.
I will call June right now.
She is sleeping
with a big shoot damn.
All right.
Can I tell you something crazy?
I'm angry at both of you now.
Yes.
But me, I didn't do anything.
Paul told me to do it.
Paul showed me the quote.
I didn't do anything.
I didn't even know.
I wanted to tell you something funny, which is this.
Did you know?
I'm so worried.
What?
Okay, I have to hold on.
My fight or flight response is on.
I need to breathe and get myself regulated.
Okay,
Paul, you are safe to me.
All right.
Did you know that they rent out the house from the movie on Airbnb?
Shut up!
Wait!
I don't want to know it exists!
I don't want to know this film exists!
But who would want to spend a weekend at Buffalo Bob's house?
Yeah.
And then they try to make it fun.
They have one room that just has arcade games.
Like, well, that's not right.
Is there still a pit?
Is there a pit in the basement?
Like a basement.
Moving on.
What I was going to say is
Seattle.
What?
You would never say that.
You know what?
I'm seriously like, I am gonna be a little bit more.
How much money, for real, how much money would you, how much money for you to stay overnight in Buffalo Bill's house
and watch the movie in the house?
No fucking way.
Billions of dollars.
How much money?
No, nothing would forget.
I've been trying to forget this movie since eighth grade, every day of my life.
All right, I did not forget to do it.
This is exposure therapy.
What about exposure therapy?
No!
I won't bring it up.
This piece of shit offered me like $5,000 to watch funny games.
Like, what's wrong with him?
Like, back when we had no money, he's like, I'll get the money somewhere.
That's good money.
Anyway.
That's good money.
All right, you know what?
Let's not talk about it.
So the garbage-eating scene.
What item made you wretch?
Was it the raw fish?
Yeah.
Or was it the metal?
What was it?
Because I got a, I will agree.
This scene became too much at a certain point, as did the scene where he's chugging the viscous motor oil.
Oh, too.
Because I was like, this is too thick and it's stressing me out.
Me too.
It's like he's taking a barium swallow so that they can figure out what's wrong with his stomach.
I was already upset when I saw that in his bedroom, he just had a loose thing, a stock of celery and motor oil.
And I was like, what's going on here on the reg?
I felt bad for Jocko.
Sometimes I didn't, a lot of times.
I recognized it as a joke,
but I didn't know what was funny about it.
And it started to make me question
my job as a comedian.
Sometimes what am I missing?
They were sometimes crowding the movie with joke or joke adjacent
adjacent.
Like I believe the radio station mentioned the mighty dildos.
Yeah.
That was a thing that I was like, wait, what was that went by quick?
I couldn't figure that out.
Somebody said one more thing.
Schlong.
Yes.
I wrote that down, too.
I have that as well.
I felt that.
And I also was like, wait, what?
And I felt like at one point Beaker was very specifically dressed as the mayor from Jaws.
Yes.
There was a lot.
And then they pull out the orca,
which is the boat from Jaws.
There's so much...
referential stuff going on and it's coming so quick that the movie is pretty much gonna reward rewatching.
Yeah, for sure.
But
if you look at a line like, excuse me, are you available for dating?
That's a great line.
Yeah, great line.
And I'm back in.
And then she's young people.
What are you thinking?
And then, and at one point I wrote it down, I think he goes, I think he said, are you open to holding hands?
Like, I was like, what?
What is happening?
Or when those guys were in the, when they were in the lifeguard stand, hey, you guys are nude.
Like, these are funny lines.
But what they then do is they jump right back into these dudes only want to talk about surfing.
They don't care about boobs.
Who are these guys?
What are you talking about?
Seriously.
I mean,
that's what
I love about this movie so much that it's a surf movie where they go and watch a surf movie.
Yes.
And we watch the movie they're watching.
Yes.
And
we're better for it.
We are.
Yvonne Little is at the movie theater.
He is just the high school principal.
He is the head of the town council.
He is at the movie theater.
He is at the surf competition that he is telling people actively not to participate in in the first scene when he is the principal.
And someone says something, and I think he says, Ya mama.
Like, I think that's the first line.
That he says.
Do you think he improvised?
Do we think there was a lot of improvising in the movie?
Yeah.
Yeah, I just, I don't.
I don't know.
In the surf movie, we also, and this is where I think the movie does these jumps that I love.
The surf movie, the nerd character comes in,
Eddie Deason.
Eddie Deason.
Now, is this a nerd we've seen in other movies as a nerd?
An iconic 80s nerd.
What else have we seen him in?
Greece.
Greece.
Greece.
Greece.
He's the one at the beak.
Yeah, that gets knocked down at the stairs.
Okay.
He, he um when he comes in they throw a flaming bag of shit
on the floor in the movie theater.
He steps it out and he steps in shit.
Great classic prank.
No, but then I was like think about that for a second.
Well, that's what I was saying.
My thought was so someone brought a bag of shit to the surf movie.
So someone
that was someone's intention, they just got lucky that Eddie Deason stepped in it
because it looked like they were having a good time.
And by the way, Eddie Deason,
who has a frame picture of Jerry Lewis up in his what was that about well because he is essentially Jerry Lewis yeah so he is like that's who he's like it's like but he but yet he's a scientist so why would he have that because I actually didn't see that I just saw the cracked picture frame at the end and I was like who is this yeah he well look let me tell you one thing about Eddie's Easter eggs in this film that's what I'm saying in fact it's almost all Easter eggs We're all going to watch it right now.
Let's go.
There's no plot.
The movie is not a little bit more.
There's no plot, just Easter eggs.
It's all just nuts.
Character beats.
It's all sketches.
That movie theater scene where is her name, Sparkle?
Yeah.
Keeps saying, I have to warn you.
I have to warn you.
And that is such good.
This is like dumb Abbott and Costello.
There are so many dumb cartoon jokes all throughout this that I was having the time of my life,
and I never felt this way before.

So,
the writer-director wrote this role, Menlo Schwartzer, specifically for Eddie Deason,
who just said, I have one note.
Please change the character's name from Stinky Schwartzer.
But
Stinky is a great name.
That all made no sense.
But it's also like a stinky dick, right?
Stinky Schwartzer.
So he also, this is the fact I love.
Jason provided his own hat with elongated brim.
What was that hat?
Incredible.
Incredible.
He should be in jail, but instead...
There it is.
But instead, he's at the beach.
He's at the how did he get out of jail?
They don't even explain it.
They don't.
Who cares?
He's a hero.
When he hits her in the face with the hat, I was like, we're all winning.
This guy is amazing.
He gets his own hat, and he also provided oversized novelty scissors.
I mean, think about that.
He provided oversized novelty scissors.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
I mean, he is doing, I mean, he is doing a good Jerry Lewis.
Like, hey man.
Like that kind of thing.
That's his whole thing, I feel.
Like, in this era, that's it.
Like, I feel like that's what he is to do.
Right.
He is like, he is the.
It's almost too bad, you know, because we've gone away from nerds being destroyed physically and emotionally and moving.
Well, nerds, nerds rule now.
Nerds rule.
But I feel bad for
upcoming nerds that would play these type of roles.
They really don't have
a voice anymore.
Yeah, we need to get something to think about.
You want to give a voice to the...
Bring it back.
Yeah.
Bring back kicking nerds around.
Well, I think that's
just incels now.
For fun.
And by the way, this movie does have a lot of people that are trying to remind you of other people.
Like, I believe that the Sparkle, right?
She is supposed to be like Olivia Newton.
Olivia Newton-Johnson.
Right, 100%.
And when she said he had everything, he was short, ugly, carried a slide rule.
And isn't she also doing an Australian accent?
Yeah, is she Australian?
I didn't know if she was doing one or was Australian.
No, she's not Australian.
She's Australian.
She's Australian?
So she's doing an Australian accent.
Like, this movie does have a little bit of a plot for a bit, and then it just becomes like just vignettes of insanity.
And you're like, okay, fine.
I don't know.
Intercut with surf scenes and dance scenes.
Yeah.
And like extreme close-ups of just torsos, just boobs, boobs, and butts dancing.
What?
Can we explain?
Can I?
This is where I think I'm a little confused.
Not that I need to break it down in every little detail, but so
his plan was to
and yep was to to create this well, okay,
huh, I want to walk it back because I know that there's two plans at play, right?
One is the soda and the two soda guys, they have a plan,
right, to do
something
right, but they're not working with Menlo Schwartzmann.
They are
they are oh, they are they're working with him until the end when he turns on them and turns them into ladies.
Okay,
right but what are they working with him to they are they are making okay let me go back to the crawl if you don't mind
if you don't mind if you if i just will refer to the crawl
um that was before okay no i won't read that part he okay menlo schwarzer was a high school genius who hated surfers and he invented a weird soft drink involved local businessmen those people
invented the cola he invented the cola involved them they are i believe like the money behind it, and set out to rule the coast, period.
He nearly succeeded.
It's a real spoiler alert.
Yeah, it really
gives away the ending.
Well, okay, so.
Emperor Palpatine has cast.
Now, this is alright, so he was working in cahoots with them, and that's why those surfers showed up in the beginning to take the soda from the petroleum factory out.
But then, why were those?
But then the surfers were also like living lives.
So are the comic.
Which surfers?
The heroes?
Eric Stoltz and his buddy?
No,
the first zombie ones.
Oh, Jocko?
No, before
pre-Jocko, the guys we see get sucked down in the first scene.
Yeah.
Yes.
No.
No.
These are the guys who go to the arcade and drink the soda.
Those guys.
Got it.
And we don't really know their backstory.
We just know they were maybe killed.
Yeah.
They turn into zombies.
Right.
And so they're just like living their lives as kids.
As zombies.
As zombies.
As zombies.
As zombie kids, yes.
Okay.
It seems like you think this movie's confusing, and it's not.
But let me ask you this.
Do the dads know that kids are being turned into zombies?
Not only do they know, they know that one of their sons, in fact, is a zombie who is now rampaging in.
Oh, no, no, Jocko's kids.
Jocko's family.
Jocko is Bernie's kid.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Those two dads make sure that their sons know not to drink soda.
Right.
Because they were like, we'll never drink soda that's like oh yeah jocko is is corinne borer's brother yes yes okay thank you sorry okay so
stinky's whole situation is she wants to turn every surfer into a zombie right because the surfers turned him into uh a person with female anatomy and male anatomy
The surfers?
That's revealed at the very end.
Yeah.
The surfers gave him a drink.
They poisoned his drink.
It feels as as though that's what happened in the first movie.
Yes.
If that movie were to have existed.
Yes.
Well, I assume so because he lifts up his shirt to reveal that he is also in a bikini, different than underwear, but a bikini.
So he definitely has breasts, and the breasts were given to him.
I don't know if they took away
his penis.
At some point, it's yes,
that surfers put chemicals in something he drank.
And it disintegrated his penis?
I don't know what.
Or I think it just added breasts.
And that is the inciting incident that is causing him to seek revenge.
If this is a better movie, we would have seen his breasts.
Oh, by the way, we would have seen it at the end of Act One, and they would have been glorious.
So then he took his...
high school girlfriend who's a real nerd and put her in a face shape
Florinda Buckworthy or something?
Florinda Butnik.
So Florinda Buckman becomes Sparkle.
But they also seem like they are still in high school.
She has re-enrolled in high school, but he is, I think, out of high school.
Well, she didn't re-enroll.
She came back in as another person because she had to keep a secret identity going.
But he doesn't look that much older than Eric Stoltz.
I think he's recently out, and he's living underwater, is that right?
Yeah.
So let me ask you this: like, do you think she is like, what if Sandra Dee arrived at high school after the end of Greece has just happened?
Yes.
Right?
Yeah.
Oh, that's what Sparkle.
I'm sorry.
Sparkle.
I should have been more specific.
No, I like what you were saying.
Sparkle is a Bobo Olivia Newton job.
Let me be, is this movie?
Is this movie a better sequel to Greece than Grease 2?
It's giving me Grease 2 vibes.
Grease 2 makes me feel Greece 2.
June is going to be furious.
Yeah, I know.
I know she loves it.
She loves Grease 2.
I know she does.
It has to be Grease 2, but this is very right.
This feels very much a speak.
Like, what if all the kids from the Grease High School went to the coast?
Wait, are they on the...
Where is Grease High School?
Well, it's Venice.
Oh, it is.
Oh, then just remember.
Oh, this makes sense.
Yeah.
Should that be the shirt?
And then
asterisk at the bottom, don't tell June.
I'm not going to be a.
It's so fun to hurt women.
Yeah.
You guys are having a lot of fun.
I would never have Beth put a picture of Buffalo Bob on that screen.
It's so fun.
I want you to know that every time you guys send me a movie, I'm so worried it's going to be actually scary.
This one, I was really worried about because I thought it was going to be about zombies.
And
it was okay, but I felt very worried.
Very easy.
I think.
We have been.
You know what, and I will say also,
I don't know why I'm going down this road, but I will say that I was impressed by some of the restraint this movie had.
Like when Officer Underwear, Inspector Underwear wanted to feel up those naked girls, like the chief was like,
no, don't be a fucking creep.
No.
He was chewing on his cigar.
No, he's a girl.
He puts a cigar in his mouth and it's like...
Like
he's sucking his own dick.
It's fucking next level.
But I did appreciate it.
I was like, oh, this movie is like
on the right side of creepy.
It's like, he's like, ooh,
I agree.
I agree.
Every so often, a girl was, for no reason, dragged away on their towel.
So it was an old woman.
I'm so sorry.
That was an older lady.
That was an old lady.
That was an old lady, and she deserved it for getting old.
When that old woman got dragged into the ocean, I was like...
That was insanely funny.
But what I did enjoy is that that if people were going to take their tops off, they did it willingly.
Oh, yeah.
They did it to celebrate.
You know, to celebrate the sun and the surf.
Nobody was pulling their tops off, which I appreciated.
My favorite thing about
the gross out-eating contest, which is it goes on for a very long time.
That's what made me feel like it's a fancy.
And it keeps heightening.
It keeps heightening.
So it's our John Belushi guy who is not a zombie versus, is it Jocko or is it one of the other zombies?
It is is Jocko.
And it is a gross, they're just, it starts with, I believe, seaweed, and then it just keeps escalating.
They're eating glass.
Anyway, what's crazy is it's so gross that in an effort to kind of, I feel like, make it more palatable, the only thing they cut away to are the boobs dancing.
So all the reaction shots are people watching and then just boobs dancing.
But not their faces, just their boobs.
No, it's just
there.
That's like not even a three-quarter shot.
What is that?
That's a cowboy.
That's a cowboy.
That is.
That's called a cowboy.
I mean, and then Dick Dale is playing music at that point, too.
Dick Dale is in this movie.
Annette Funicello.
They're playing Miseraloo here.
This is crazy.
Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, the stars of these big beach movies, they refused to be in this film.
Good for you.
Huge mistake.
They were like, no, no, no.
Huge mistake.
Yes.
All right, let me go out to the crowd.
Let me see what we have here.
Questions from the audience.
All right.
If you're in costume, I definitely want to talk to you.
All right, what do we got?
Oh, we got it.
Here we go.
Let me go.
Oh, my gosh.
You have a folder, full.
How did this get made?
This is a binder?
A dossier.
This is a surf tube binder?
This is pretty intense.
And you're in a full Jason Manzuka sweatshirt.
I love that.
And by the way, I want to make sure, you know, as I'm talking to people in the audience, no one do a Buffalo Bill and Pressure.
That's not funny at all.
I'm trying to protect you, Jeff.
I've already texted her.
She's asleep.
Well, don't tell on us.
I'm going to.
Hi, what's her name?
What's your question?
My name is Becky.
My question is, if you were tasked today with casting Surf 3, The Revenge of the Trilogy, who would you cast?
And you can include yourselves.
Wow,
I mean, my first instinct, honestly, is to cast all the kids from this movie as the adults of the movie.
Well, Eric Stoltz, of course, should reprise this role.
Stoltz, Corinne Borer, like any of the other people.
I think we're throwing a Johnny Knoxville in there.
Sure, I think
as the principal, maybe.
You know who I put in there right there?
Jeremy Allen White as the Eric Stoltz character.
Yeah, great.
Great.
I think he would be great.
I feel like I could throw like a flavor flav in there.
Get him out of retirement.
You want to?
You know what I mean?
Him and his giant clock.
That's the guy with the giant clock.
Giant clock?
Clock!
I feel like it's one of those things you could just throw anybody on the wall.
Oh, you know what I mean?
I feel like this podcast, I genuinely believe, could get Surf 3 made.
Yes.
I don't think it'd cost that much.
I don't think it'd cost that much either.
Oh, no, and I definitely would want to be in it.
I would want to be like
a mayor or some other,
or I would want to be like one of the dads or some sort of baddie or something.
How about
Martin Starr
as the Eddie Deason character?
Great, great.
That's a good.
Yeah, I agree.
And let's all agree that it's got to have, I don't know, more booze?
Sure.
Yeah, sure.
All right.
Yeah, but they got to be naturals, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, large American naturals.
I agree with St.
Clair big naturals.
Now, that's interesting you say that.
Surf three.
It's interesting.
I'm agreeing with St.
Clair's point.
They should be big naturals.
Surf three big naturals.
Is that what it is?
Surf three colon.
Surf3 colon big naturals dot dot dot of Seattle?
Yeah.
Make boobs great again on the back.
All right, I got these people all wearing Buzz Cola hats.
They're what?
Wait, what are they wearing?
Stand up.
Stand up here.
Stand up.
What are you wearing?
Buzz Cola.
Cute.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I couldn't hear it.
That looks great.
All right, so Buzz Cola people.
All right, no, do you have a question?
No?
Do you have a no?
All right.
Oh, you got got a present for me.
I'll take this.
Be careful.
Now I gotta say thank you.
I'm guessing it's gonna be BuzzCola.
All right.
What is that?
This is the official
Big Nick costume worn by Gerard Butler in Denim Thieves 2 Pants.
What?
Smell it, Paul.
Smell it.
Paul, smell it.
Quick, Paul, smell it.
Whoa.
Quick, Paul, put it on.
By the way, the fight it smells delicious.
Wow, yeah.
Wow.
Talk, that's hot.
Put it on.
Put it on.
Put it on.
Put it on.
Put it on.
Put it on.
Yes.
Yes.
Fuck yes.
Oh, like a glove.
Fits like a glove.
Yes, Paul.
Yes.
Fuck.
Yes, Paul.
I feel powerful in this shirt.
Wow.
Fucking big nick, man.
I fucking love this.
Like, this is fucking, you look great.
You do look great, Paul.
You feel great, great.
It hangs right on you.
It does.
It's hugging you in all the right places.
Unless anybody thinks somehow this is promotional, paid promotion for this movie, it is not.
These movies are fantastic.
I have a Dennifie's hat that I wear around.
I was going to bring it on tour, and I was too nervous I was going to lose it.
That's sad.
It's precious.
It's precious.
It's precious.
I just couldn't.
I left it at home.
I was like, this would be fun.
I'll wear this out.
No, too scared.
It's the kind of thing that it rubs the lotion off the skin or else it gets the hose again.
I'm gonna literally punch you in the dick.
I'm serious.
Don't try me.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, right?
All right, what's your name?
What's your question?
All right, my name is Don.
This question is for Jessica.
Hold on.
No, no, no, no.
Not gonna do it.
Paul and I can just get fucked.
Okay.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, I was wondering if random beach bonfires are better than trash can fires.
Oh.
Yeah, were you triggered by the beach bonfire?
Or because that's a less dystopian?
I was triggered first by the makeup of those zombies on the cover because I thought we were definitely heading into the future.
I was so happy to be on terra firma at that
I will take a beach bonfire over a trash can fire any day.
I found myself thinking, this town seems like fun.
Great.
You know what?
Do you know what I mean?
This town seems like fun.
I, honest to God, I would vacation there too.
Me too.
Me too.
Anyway, thank you for thinking of me and my nervous system.
And it's, I think it's Big Naturals, California?
Yeah, Big Naturals, California.
You said it takes us into the future, which is ironic because Eric Stoltz was originally cast in Back to the Future and then fired.
Because he wouldn't go into the future or the past.
Wow.
He was a present-day kid.
I didn't know that.
Imagine if this was part of the Back to the Future universe.
Might be.
I'm with another guy with a Buzz Kohler shirt on.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Wow, there's a lot of Buzz Kohler.
Is there just a lot of Buzz Kuzz Kohler merch?
I'm impressed.
Are these real or did you make them?
We made them.
Oh, God.
Amazing.
My name's Emerson.
I'm the Makeup Effects artist from Wolf Cop, the movie.
Which you guys totally need to do someday, which made me think and check check the credits who did the makeup effects.
And you'll be surprised that Greg Cannum did, who won four Oscars for Makeup Effects.
And, you know, clearly this is where he got a shot.
That's amazing.
What movies does he won't Oscars for?
For Vice, for Mrs.
Doubtfire, for A Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Bram Stroker's Dracula.
Wow.
Wow.
And Omeck only nominated for this one.
Not a winner, but nominated.
It's amazing.
And this is a year after he did the makeup on Thriller for Michael Jackson.
Whoa!
He was touching the show.
It shows.
You see it.
It's on the screen.
If anyone wants to, and I'm not saying touch me, but wants to touch the shirt, you can.
What?
Paul.
Paul.
Paul, no.
No,
you're in the shirt.
You're in the shirt.
Oh, yeah.
Just look at it.
If they could touch the shirt, that's you.
I don't feel like it's me.
I feel like I'm fucking.
You're not big Nick.
Oh, God, fucking get in there.
Oh, shit.
Is that why you just texted me?
Let's go to Betty Hanna, bitch.
All right, what do you got?
Okay, so ostensibly, the Buzz Cola is supposed to make surfers stop wanna surfing, right?
But then we get a pretty extensive scene of two zombies surfing.
Oh, you know what?
I think it is?
I think that they're supposed to be better surfers to then beat the regular surfers.
So then those are the same.
Is Eddie Deason's plan that the zombie surfers are going to win the surf contest?
I believe so.
That's got to be it, right?
So that's his revenge is the surfers lose.
That's my guess.
It's a real long walk.
But I mean, like, really?
I mean, just to win the surf contest when at this point, like, this is an indestructible army.
When they are in the classroom and one of the kids is just guzzling from a beaker and someone says, that's acid.
I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
These kids could do, drink,
eat anything, and be unphased.
But then at the end of the movie, Corinne Bohr is basically like, yeah, as long as I didn't have Buzz Cola for a little bit after the effects wore off.
Which is what?
Indestructible body?
So do all of those zombies turn back to regular kids of course they're fine they're fine all right they're fine
at the end they are fine and now i'm in the balcony whoa whoa
seattle balcony
the lower balcony the lb the lower balcony the lb hi what's your name my name is ryan hey what do you got uh so the the surf contest is the buzz international surf contest which means ostensibly the the price for this is just five minutes to talk about whatever you want, and if the zombie surfers win, they get to sell more Buzz Cola, and that's just perpetuating the cycle of almost taking over the West Coast.
By the way.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yes.
Great plot.
Great work.
Great point.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, everyone's watching.
So
this is a cash grab, you think?
The zombie
thing is really just an exposure.
I think the dads, who I also think were held back in school and were the ones who put that stuff in his drink, because they seem to...
The dads are the OG bullies.
Oh.
You think the dads are the dads?
Absolutely.
I think they were held back in school long enough.
People are turning against you.
People don't like it.
People don't like it.
You had us and then you lost us.
Too close to the sun, sir.
I want to come to this hat in one second.
Just come out to the middle of the aisle because I have no way to get to you.
Oh, the balcony.
The balcony, as opposed to down here where people were respectfully raising their hands, the balcony gesticulating wildly.
Well, yeah.
Okay, so I was looking, doing a lot of research on the internet.
There's a connection between this movie and Washington.
So 30 miles west of here is a town called Everett, and they have a 14-foot-tall brass sculpture called Surf 2.
And that's with two, like
the Roman numeral digits 2.
There's no surf 1.
The guy who made it makes brass automobiles.
It has nothing to do with surfing or anything like that.
It was made in 1976, which is before the movie was released.
But maybe inspired the movie.
Yeah, I even tried looking.
Yeah.
But the other fun fact about it is the town hated it so much that a disgruntled group hung the mayor in effigy off of the statue
and
it had to be moved because of that.
People were so angry about it.
Wow.
Wow.
Great.
Okay, sir.
An absolute insane Bizarro universe show the balconies got facts.
Yeah, they're doing like first-person research.
It's like NPR up there and the Richie Riches down here are a bunch of zeros.
Yeah,
are you guys
going on?
Hey, hey, technically, this is just kind of mezzanine.
I mean, this is lower balcony.
I'm going to say it's mez.
That looks, I'll be honest, these fuckers look like balcony monsters.
Yeah.
I'm looking at a fucking balcony wait until I cross the barrier just I feel like just piss just streaming down these aisles all right every seat's a toilet
now I just want you to know I'm officially in
this the lower part of the top balcony
there's I there's no lights in that area Jude loves you Paul.
Be careful.
It's fucking terrifying.
It's so scary.
It's so much higher.
Don't be a hero, Paul.
Oh, you don't have to go up there.
You're a father, Paul.
I can do anything in my new shirt.
Paul, be careful.
Oh, wow, the balcony is so deep.
Oh, my God.
Look at that.
Holy shit.
Those are scary people.
Yeah.
I thought this was the balcony, and
those are terrifying people.
I know.
That's what I'm going into.
All right, hi, what's your name?
What's your question?
My name is Lauren.
My question is about the budget because as you've already mentioned, there's been multiple.
I'm going to pause you there, Lauren.
On what planet do people in the balcony have budget questions?
I don't know what's up, Seattle.
We're in a topsy-turvy world.
I don't like to think about them being smart.
I don't know about you guys.
Go ahead, Lauren.
You're killing it.
Just really quick, this has been a dream control.
Oh my gosh.
Come true to be yelled at by Jason.
Wow.
Dream bigger.
Dream bigger.
The balcony is more emotionally available than the orchestra?
What are we talking about, Seattle?
You guys are a fucking mess.
She wants to know what the answer is.
The answer is $2 million.
But that's not that the show is.
We don't go like the budget.
Yeah, $2 million.
$2 million.
How much was it for the Beach Boy?
I don't know.
Do you want it broken down line by line?
The balcony's doing forensic accounting on the movie.
That's what I'm talking about.
Lauren's making you guys look like shit.
It's Lauren and the girl with the binder.
Everybody else can leave.
I do believe the Beach Boys are probably cheaper to get because I feel like they're in many movies, The Beach Boys.
I feel like they must have gotten screwed by somebody very early on and have songs out there.
It's not like Prince.
Like, Prince is a needle drop that's expensive.
Beach Boys, get out there.
But
on closed caption, they kind of fuck up.
a lot of what they're saying, but I didn't realize the Beach Boys sang about thongs.
There is a thong in
they were they were the original thong song
all right now I'm in the balcony
how are you I'm well I'm Matt Matt what do you got well number one you are so far back in the balcony I saw both commentaries to this movie let's go all right our buddy Chief Boyard
went on to create the star wagon company that makes the porta potties in Hollywood.
What?
Wow.
Number two, Eric Stoltz, that scene when they were drunk in the lifeguard hut, he had never been drunk before.
The director insisted on getting Eric Stoltz legitimately drunk.
What?
And he was sick for the whole day.
Wow.
And on a 29-day shoot, that's rough.
All right, two more quick ones.
Getting invested.
Paul?
Paul, are you okay?
This is the most cogent balcony we've ever had.
Usually the balcony is blackout drunk.
But somehow Seattle, the balcony, showed up and these fucks are just like, do, do, do, do, do.
Who cares?
Seattle doesn't fucking play.
All right, all right.
They invested heavily in the soundtrack, as you can tell.
There are new original songs from Oingo Boingo, who at the time was a regional undiscovered California band.
The The soundtrack was never released.
Wow.
I had heard that that Oingo Boingo song is unavailable anywhere.
Now, you have
the ska band that's playing in the one scene.
What were they called?
They were called Meet Something.
I looked it up.
Last one, and this is probably the best.
Everybody's favorite scene, the breakfast scene.
That is not split screen.
That's a real set.
Director said they did that in two, possibly one take.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Wow.
That was, and that is truly an incredible.
There's two of them.
There's two in-unison scenes that are just fantastic.
But it's a testament to the talent in this movie that they were able to do that in one or two takes.
He's a phenomenal actor.
Again, Ruth Buzzies in this movie.
I know.
These are amazing.
You have one more, one more thing.
One more buzz.
One more thing.
Here we go.
Put the lotion in the fucking basket.
Oh.
I will climb up there and punch you in the the dick, sir.
I will do it.
She can't get to the balcony.
She can't get to the balcony or else she gets the hose again.
Look,
Seattle has brought it, and now we see how they close it out.
Because, yes, we have opinions about this movie, but there are people out there with a different opinion.
It is now time for second opinions.
Hey, my name is Celia aka balcony number four
wouldn't it be nice if we went surfing that's what kids in California do
and wouldn't it be nice to drink buzz soda it will make a zombie out of you
Dress up like punks in all their leather finery.
Do you know they make it in an oil refinery?
Where's Mr.
Menlo Schwartzer?
He's so awful.
But he turned Florinda Budnick into
sparkle.
Yeah, let's talk
about it.
I give this one five stars.
That's the balcony.
That's the balcony.
Voice of an angel.
A great song with facts.
Wow.
That's unheard of from the balcony.
All right, so here's the deal, everybody.
The reviews on Amazon kind of suck.
All right, they're just not good.
So we kind of pulled these from everywhere.
And this first one is from Letterbox.
And this is from Justin La Liberty.
And Justin writes,
This was released five months before Gremlins and features a movie theater scene where mutant punks eat the film out of the projector and causes the film to burn the screen.
Surf 2 was ahead of Joe Dante.
Four stars!
Four stars?
Well, that's all I got on it.
No, no, I like it.
I like it.
This is just from an IMDb user named Be Anger.
Title, maybe
this was in a different beach comedy.
I think I remember this movie.
Was there a scene in this movie where the big guy is eating a sub-sandwich and Seagulls crapped it out and then he ate it again?
10 out of 10 stars!
See, it's in everybody's repressed memories.
Oh, yeah.
Surf 2.
Surf 2, and I never would have found it.
I just was a, what a happy accident.
Yeah, whatever.
You triggered a real memory for me, a happy one.
Yeah.
I don't know where this one is from, but it's worth the read.
From Kerouac fan.
Written from, I see on the road?
An acquaintance of mine recommended this film when we were trying to define beat as in a beatnik type, i.e.
not authentic as Kerouac, but like still fun.
He said,
but don't get fooled by beat, a very unbeat movie starring Kiefer the Reefer and Courtney the Love Chile.
My suggestion is you check out Surf 2 instead.
There is no Surf 1, one of the most beat movies ever made.
So is there a chance of releasing this cult film on DVD so I can afford to see?
Five stars.
Wait, is that review in free verse?
Like, what?
Did E.E.
Cummings write that review?
It's all lowercase and punctuationless.
I mean, don't.
These are references.
And that's, and that's really all that I got
because they're so weird.
I mean, this one's really funny.
I'm surprised.
I feel like there would be a lot of people who are like, yes, I love it, you know, like in that way that I feel like all these 80s movies are.
A lot of them are like this from Thomas Brandon.
Spoiler alert, I haven't seen this movie since the early 80s when I rented it.
And I remember dudes drinking motor oil and eating garbage and fish carcasses.
My favorite scene is when these two server buddies are too enthralled with their own serving stories to notice that both their girlfriends have unclothed.
Then they finally notice in a spoccole manner and go, you guys are nude.
And then they go right back to the surf discussion.
It's got nerds, it's got surfers, it's got zombies, it's got hotties, it's got weirdos, it's got garbage eating, motorl drinking, and a beauty named Crystal or something
like that.
Did I write this?
And it goes, my guess is that it never went to DVD because it's too obscure.
If anyone's reading this, and you can get a copy, do it!
10 stars.
I agree.
I mean, that's, yeah, these are wild reviews.
I think that we hit all the major, like,
real question.
What would you rather do if we could make surf three
or do we make surf one?
I feel like making surf one would be wild.
And especially if surf one took place today.
Well, that's what I think you'd have to do.
is 10, there has to be a
time travel.
Yes, it establishes time travel that makes sense with this movie, but this movie, of course, would not know.
I like this a lot, because then we could actually use Eric Stoltz from today.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
And he plays like Papa Stoltz.
Surf 1 colon 2026.
Great idea.
2025.
Surf 1 colon 2026-
it rubs the lotion on its skin.
But, but, it's suntan lotion.
Surf one and silence of the waves.
Silence.
Good.
Oh, I bet we can beat this.
I feel like we can beat this.
Silence of the seals.
Silence of the seals?
I'm trying to think of
a beach animal.
Clams.
Silence of the clams.
Fuck.
That's goddamn it.
Hold it back to the shirt.
Surf one.
Silence.
It's got to be the t-shirt.
Yes, surf 1 2025 silence of the clams.
Silence of the clams.
All right.
I like it.
It rubs the suntan lotion on its skin.
It's no.
Yes, it rubs it.
It puts the lotion on the shell.
It puts the lotion on its skin.
Fine.
Now I'm having fun again.
Would you recommend this movie, Jason, Jessica?
All the way.
Absolutely.
Yes.
I mean, this, with the possible exception of Craven the Hunter, this tour's movies have all been bangers, but this is
head and shoulders above them all.
This right here, this right here is a how did this get made?
Thank God this got made.
Yeah.
Because this, for me, this goes in the, this is a top five movie.
Paul has taken off the t-shirt.
Paul has taken off the t-shirt.
It's even better, Paul.
God.
God, you look good.
This looks so good.
Oh, you gotta love the way it looks.
The shirt smells good.
I think you gotta unbutton one more.
One more.
Give the ladies what they want.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay, we got...
I feel like St.
Claire and I need to leave.
One picture needs to be just you and this.
Yes.
For sure.
It's a just quick watch.
Denneth 2 now on Netflix.
All right.
This movie is what a fine you look at you, you're man spreading in that shirt.
You're a whole different person.
The shirt is affecting Paul's personality.
This is outrageous.
He's got a squint.
I just got a text from Paul that says, Please call me Big Nick
for the rest of our life.
Big Paul, Big Paul, June, and Jess.
Wait, Big Paul, June, and Jess.
I'm out
just like that.
I'm out.
Paul, June, and Jess.
Yes!
I'm right here.
Wait a second.
Did I die?
Am I a ghost?
And if I am, why am I still on tour?
Oh, my God.
All right, so we would recommend this movie.
Oh, hell yeah.
I would recommend the hell out of this movie.
I loved it.
It was great.
I did get nauseous.
It's worth chasing down.
No, you don't have to because it's re-released now.
If you get on vinegar syndrome, you don't, if you want to buy it, it has the DVD special features, a bunch bunch of great stuff, they restored it.
It's great.
If you want to do what I did and sign up for fan content.
We're going to be paying for that for the rest of our lives.
But you know what?
I didn't know there were streaming services like $1.99 a month.
You give it to us?
You give us the money.
This is the kind of thing, because every once in a while we'll run across a movie that's hard to find.
And I will say, a lot of times you can, probably not this one, find it at the library.
Yes, the library.
That's right.
Any librarians in the house?
That's right.
Stand up if you're a librarian.
Give me house life.
Thank you, librarians.
Give it up.
Give it up for these heroes.
Give it up for these heroes of books.
Give it up for these heroes.
We've got librarians in the balcony.
What the hell?
Incredible stuff.
Great work, librarians.
Jason, want to promote anything?
We'll plug a few things.

Check it out.
You like?
Exciting.
Slick
thievery.
You'll fucking love this movie.
No doubt.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm wearing Gerard Butler's shirt from Den of Thieves 2.
I wish you could just start
slowly making yourself into a Scottish brogue.
I was trying and it was going to be embarrassing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the only movie that when June said, what do you want to do for your birthday?
I said, Den of Thieves 2.
Also, the dark web.
Every Monday on YouTube, Rob Hubel and I, we search the dark web.
We find lawyers who make Instagram videos after they get their clients acquitted.
We revisit shows like Passions and
dissect all the weirdest shit.
I order stuff from him.
I order stuff off of Timu and we look at it.
It's all weird stuff.
It's free on
YouTube, the dark web.
And that's it.
Can I shout out one more?
Please, I have a local shout-out for Easy Street Records.
