2:14

2:17

How did this get made? It's a space movie.

2:20

It's an opera film. It's

2:22

a coming of age story. It's

2:25

a movie about the power

2:28

of farts. We saw Thunderpants,

2:31

so you know what that means. Now it's

2:33

time to go nuts. It's

2:37

gonna be a swarm. What's

2:42

up, jerks? That's

2:45

right, London, here we go. Hello,

2:48

people of Dublin. J-Mid,

2:51

big on in the beautiful June. Gonna

2:54

take us in the gloom while the

2:56

wind is the room. Thunderpants. I've got

2:58

a lot to say. I took notes.

3:00

I'm not okay. Hey, hey. People of

3:03

Gotland. Belfast.

3:07

Things full of farts. Eat them all.

3:10

Rupert Grimford changed his name. Calling

3:12

you, you're illiterate. Jason is getting

3:14

laid. So upset, I hate

3:17

this. That's my ugly truth. This place

3:19

is full of bees. Here's a real

3:21

question for you. How did this get

3:23

made? Get this guy out of here.

3:26

Hello, people of Earth. And

3:29

hello, people of Dublin. Well,

3:39

well, well. We

3:41

finally did it. The

3:43

2002 classic film, Thunderpants.

3:52

Oh boy, oh boy. This is a year, to put

3:54

it in perspective, Gosford

3:56

Park, a beautiful mind.

4:01

and Thunderpants. All

4:03

of them saying something important about this world. Should this

4:05

movie have been an Oscar winner? Yes! It's a biopic,

4:07

and it's got Ned Beatty in it. It's

4:12

got all the ingredients of an Oscar movie. What is

4:14

it about? It's about

4:16

a small boy with a

4:18

big problem who

4:20

wants to be an astronaut, but sidetracked...

4:25

as an opera singer. And

4:28

then has a short detour

4:30

after murdering someone. But

4:34

he does achieve his dreams, even

4:36

though I'm not quite sure how.

4:39

But we will break it all down.

4:42

The tagline, it's time

4:44

to blast off. And we are going to do

4:46

that tonight indeed. Please welcome

4:48

my co-host, Mr. Jason Manzoukas!

5:00

What's up, jerks? That's

5:03

right! Here we go, Dublin!

5:07

Ho-ho! Holy shit! People

5:10

had to watch Absolute Dreck on

5:12

this tour, except

5:14

the beekeeper, and you guys

5:16

got the fucking gem. I

5:19

loved it! I

5:23

can't even wait to tell you about it.

5:25

I loved it! A movie that

5:27

asks, what if Dudley

5:30

Dursley was the chosen one, and

5:33

Ron was Hermione? Come

5:35

on! This is so

5:38

plush! Jason...

5:41

I didn't get purchased, yes. I

5:44

refer to this film as

5:46

the movie that broke Paul

5:48

Giamatti into Hollywood. This is

5:50

the movie that

5:53

kids got the goods! Holy

5:55

cow! I swear to God, I'm watching

5:57

this movie, and I couldn't... I

6:00

couldn't make heads or tails on it.

6:02

No, me neither. I was like, oh,

6:04

no. I tried multiple times to adjust

6:06

the color saturation because everything was green.

6:10

Choice. Then Ned Beatty showed up on

6:12

TV, and I was like, what the

6:14

fuck? I mean, so much

6:16

is going on in this movie, and my

6:19

wife made the choice to watch it

6:21

with our children. I... you

6:24

gotta. And I want

6:26

to hear how it was firsthand,

6:28

so please welcome my co-host, June

6:30

Diane Reifel. Whoo! Whoo!

6:35

Whoo! Whoo!

6:39

Whoo! Whoo!

6:43

Jason, you weren't kidding. It's Cozy City over

6:46

here. It's too much. I will

6:48

say... So cozy. It's too plush. I

6:51

need to be more... Upright. ...engaged. Yeah. I

6:53

so... I need to be more ready to

6:55

rock if some of these fuckers come at

6:57

me. This feels

7:00

like a chair that you might have an

7:03

intelligent discussion about Thunderpants, as if

7:06

Thunderpants was a classic novel, and

7:08

we were introducing it on Masterpiece

7:11

Theater, you know? There's no way.

7:13

Thunderpants. If we

7:15

were hosting a panel at Trinity College

7:18

here in town... There's no reason

7:21

to be reclining discussing Thunderpants.

7:23

Like, God help me if they bring an ottoman

7:25

out. This

7:28

movie... Now, listen, Paul. You brought up

7:30

our children watching Thunderpants. And

7:33

here's what happened. I was

7:35

telling Jason backstage. So, at

7:37

the beginning of the movie,

7:39

one child was laughing hysterically.

7:41

And I mean howling. And

7:44

the other one was crying. And

7:48

so deeply upset about what was

7:50

going on. It's an upsetting movie

7:52

because the farting makes them

7:54

an outcast. Well, and

7:57

I just... I guess that started at the beginning. at

8:00

the very beginning because as a parent, and I

8:02

don't know how many parents are in the audience,

8:05

but. Well, let's start at the very beginning, if

8:07

we're gonna talk about being a parent, how did

8:09

you make these ideas? Oh God, here we go.

8:12

Here we go. They showed up one day and I was like, where did

8:14

these guys come from? Here we go. So

8:17

having a newborn, having

8:19

a newborn and

8:22

having them release gas

8:25

is to me, it was

8:27

like, oh, it's the most satisfying experience

8:30

because you know it upsets them

8:32

to have it. And so the

8:34

reaction, the way this movie begins is so

8:37

confounding to me because these parents, first

8:39

of all, why do these farts smell? Like

8:41

there is a medical condition happening beyond two

8:44

stomachs, but like as

8:46

a parent, it's such a relief

8:48

to hear gas come out of

8:50

a newborn. You're doing massages, you're

8:52

lifting legs, you're doing all this

8:54

stuff. And when you finally

8:56

hear it, I mean, I

8:58

found it deeply satisfying. Well,

9:00

I mean, I loved it. Oh,

9:03

I loved it. I was like, let it

9:05

out. When you gave birth both times, did

9:08

the baby pop out without

9:10

an umbilical cord, fly

9:12

over the doctor's head such that he

9:14

said, it's a flyer as

9:17

if they've got a name for this? No.

9:21

It's a flyer. I

9:24

knew the movie was about a young

9:26

boy and his problems farting, but

9:28

when he was in the womb

9:30

and they had that image

9:33

on the ultrasound, I thought that was a giant

9:35

fart bubble that he was sitting on it for.

9:37

Was it, Jitch? I also thought that, and I

9:39

believe it was, that was what propelled him out.

9:42

Oh, okay. I think that's what rocketed

9:44

him down the birth canal. I

9:48

mean, that woman's never been this thing.

9:51

Everybody seems to hate this kid.

9:53

His mom included, I think. I

9:55

know why. I

9:57

mean, this, what they

10:00

should. The show in these opening scenes

10:02

is truly disturbing.

10:04

His family disowns

10:06

him. His father leaves home with

10:08

his mother crying at the car. The

10:14

green car. That's when one of our children

10:16

cried. Everyone

10:18

hates this kid, period,

10:21

until he meets... What's

10:25

his name, Alan? Alan A. Alan?

10:27

Alan A. Alan. Wait,

10:29

what's Giamatti's name? Johnson,

10:32

something, Johnson. Johnson, Jay Johnson. I,

10:34

what, that is a recurring joke?

10:37

I guess so. I'm, the

10:39

fact that you were able to... I think

10:42

it's Joe, but I'm not sure what the

10:44

joke is. Well, no, here it is. It's

10:46

Alan A. Alan is Rupert Grint. It's

10:49

Adam Godfrey plays. Now I do wanna

10:51

just shout out that earlier in the

10:53

tour, you called him Rupert Grimpert. Which

10:55

we made a shirt of. Which I

10:58

am urging everybody to please,

11:01

let's start a petition. We have to get

11:03

him to change his name to Rupert Grimpert.

11:05

We did make a shirt of Rupert Grimpert.

11:08

It's not up yet, but Adam

11:10

got... You will be the only person who buys

11:12

that shirt. The

11:15

opera singer, his name is

11:17

Placido P. Placido. And

11:21

then it's Giamatti as Johnson, Jay Johnson.

11:24

And then it's just a lot of

11:26

smashes. And that's about it.

11:29

I loved when the doctor says, Mrs.

11:32

Trash. And she says, smash.

11:36

You know, I will say this movie has

11:39

a tone that, and

11:41

a sense of humor, bear with me, that

11:45

is committed and consistent. Like

11:47

I will, I also,

11:49

I enjoyed this movie. Now I

11:51

fell asleep several times. Because

11:54

I was tired. But I

11:56

woke up laughing and... Some

12:00

of it I was like, am I still

12:02

dreaming? I don't know, but I found it

12:04

went down real nice. Oh, I am. Real

12:07

nice. There were a couple of times when

12:09

I was like, oh no, I haven't taken

12:11

notes in a while because I've been enjoying

12:13

the movie. Me

12:16

too. I've been watching cinema

12:18

assholes. Yes. And

12:20

I was like, oh, they're gonna be so mad.

12:22

Okay. I don't have more to make fun of,

12:25

but this was fun. I

12:28

just love the bold choices that this

12:30

movie makes. And one of them is,

12:33

and we've already touched on it a little bit, everything

12:36

is green. And

12:38

that at a certain point makes

12:40

it not green. If

12:43

everything is green, then nothing

12:45

is green. And

12:47

that was weird because I thought they

12:49

could have gotten more with just making

12:51

a couple of things green, but

12:54

the green really got to me. The

12:57

green disturbed me. It started to be

12:59

crazy making. Yes. It started to be like,

13:01

oh no, okay, wait a minute. Now we're at

13:04

the school and the school's painted green. Now we're

13:06

in court? The teacher's green? What is the, why?

13:08

He's on trial and everyone's green. This is the

13:10

green. And is it just because farts are green?

13:14

I think. Are farts green? I'm

13:16

gonna say this. I don't think they're green,

13:18

but we see physical evidence when

13:20

the bully opens the fart lunchbox and

13:23

gets a straight up green fart

13:25

in the face. I don't

13:27

even want to gloss over it, but I do want to just-

13:29

I'm not glossing over it. I want to foreground it right now.

13:32

It is nuts and I loved it.

13:35

I also want to know- He deserved it. I

13:37

just want to know why farts come out like spray paint,

13:41

but I do want to just show

13:43

my favorite use of green. When they

13:46

cut to the newscaster. The only newscaster

13:48

in the world. He's

13:50

the newscaster for the NASA story. He's

13:52

the newscaster for the dead opera star

13:54

story. He's the only newscaster this world

13:57

has. Cause he's covering such big stories.

14:00

Small stories he's Kerry local.

14:02

This take place Well

14:04

in the past which I was shocked by

14:08

Oh in the past But

14:11

I did not know was the past until John

14:13

F Kennedy came out. Yes, John F Kennedy is

14:15

in this movie Oh, yeah, was that Kennedy? Hey,

14:19

you know, baby. Good boy Pulled

14:23

out I thought so too but then they pulled

14:25

out and look nothing like him I think also

14:27

as well because the father is reading the newspaper.

14:29

It says they've landed on the moon. Okay, okay

14:31

Oh wait, but is that the false? Okay. Wait

14:33

a minute There's so much

14:35

going on because that second moon landing anyway,

14:37

I'm starting to pull at the threads and

14:39

it's almost like this movie Doesn't quite add

14:41

up Let

14:44

me just show you the one use of green that

14:46

really made me laugh from that newscaster Everything

14:49

that the newscaster broadcast has

14:51

this weird Font

14:53

that looks like something that you would

14:55

put an eye movie Everything was this

14:57

like it looks like the way that

14:59

they advertised the Massey Broderick Godzilla film

15:01

like I was gonna say It

15:03

looks like Armageddon. Yes color

15:05

scheme I was like what

15:08

local news is like putting up a graphic

15:10

package like that But here's the thing

15:12

about the movie the kid actors are

15:14

so good. Well, I'm sorry.

15:17

I thought they were great I thought

15:19

they were great. Well, by the way, is this

15:21

pre Harry Potter? Where does this fall? Yes, so

15:23

he shot So he

15:25

hasn't wait. No Okay,

15:31

one of you decide elect one of you to

15:33

talk Had Harry Potter

15:35

come out yet when did this Wow

15:37

had Harry Potter to come out yet? Perfect

15:40

between one and two Either

15:43

way, it doesn't matter. This isn't it's

15:45

not like this movie was the thing

15:47

that got him Harry Potter He they

15:49

were they were coasting off of that.

15:52

That's okay. I just think it's wild

15:54

they got him. He's so good. He's

15:56

incredible So my my god my god

16:00

My gut might be that that

16:02

is why this movie was released.

16:06

So it was shot, it found no

16:08

home. Then Harry Potter came out and

16:10

they're like, oh, we have a Rupert

16:13

Grim movie. Yeah. Rupert Grimpert's in

16:15

this too. Like there is.

16:17

I'm not gonna let it die. So Rupert

16:19

Grimpert's knocking on my door the other morning

16:21

like, hey man, knock on the door. I

16:23

love Rupert Grimpert's. He's so incredible

16:26

in this. And I have to tell you

16:28

there, there's a moment where our

16:31

main character is arrested, Patrick

16:33

Smash. For murder. For

16:36

murder. And sentenced to

16:38

death by firing squad.

16:42

But when he's first, by the

16:44

way, I had to explain that to our children when

16:46

they said what's happening? And I said, well,

16:49

that's a firing squad. They

16:52

are about to kill the child. But they're not

16:54

dead. What are we talking about here? Yeah, I

16:56

said they're all gonna shoot him at the same

16:58

time. So that no single one

17:00

of them knows they were responsible.

17:02

That's right. And they can alleviate

17:04

their own. That's right. And they said,

17:06

well, why is he blindfolded? And I said, I

17:09

think that that's, I had to really go into

17:11

it. I said, I think he's blindfolded to actually

17:13

make it easier for them to shoot him. And

17:16

then, I guess my question

17:18

was. I don't know, but that was my best

17:20

guess. Because otherwise people would be like, I

17:22

was looking him right in the eyes. Exactly, and they wouldn't do

17:24

it. I mean, but then my question is this. What

17:28

is the UK using

17:30

firing squad in the 50s? No,

17:34

right now. I should hope not. I don't

17:36

think firing squad. They were doing

17:39

the head chopped off still. This movie

17:41

exists in a world that feels like

17:43

they're trying to pull off like a

17:45

Tim Burton-y kind of, it's got its

17:48

own look and aesthetic. Almost like what

17:50

the Paddington movies have now. Like a

17:52

real color, the Matilda movie. It's Wednesday,

17:55

but with farting. A real color scheme,

17:57

this, that. But they have a children's

17:59

fire. Firing squad? I

18:01

wish the... I don't get it man. By

18:04

the way, I wish the firing squad was children.

18:06

Awesome. That's a great...

18:09

They should have done that, but it would

18:11

have tipped the hat for a kid scientist,

18:13

for the secret room of all child's genius

18:15

scientists. Well, I will say this.

18:18

I feel like... I love that.

18:21

I feel like he committed two murders.

18:23

I would believe it if SpaceX was

18:26

Elon Musk and 411 year olds. Oh,

18:34

well thank you Dublin. But... Osbrick

18:37

don't mind if I do. But

18:40

I feel like this movie kind

18:42

of took him out of

18:44

a second murder because he for

18:47

sure murdered that bully in

18:49

the park. They brought him back for the

18:52

trial. I was like, that mother fucker's dead.

18:54

Wait, when? Wait, I don't remember. The bully

18:56

testifies in the trial. No, no, but why

18:58

does he die? Remember when he brings him

19:01

out to the woods like Miller's Crossing? And

19:03

he's like... And he rips that

19:05

fart so hard at him. You think he killed

19:07

him? Oh, you think that killed him? It...

19:10

It ruptured the trees. Look into

19:12

your heart Tom. Look into

19:14

your heart. I mean that kid ran... First

19:16

of all, that kid opened a lunch box

19:18

full of farts, got the face full of

19:20

farts and was running from this fart. And

19:22

this kid knew... I don't know

19:24

how. I don't know why he had a

19:26

more powerful fart, but he was like, now

19:29

I'm coming for you mother fucker. And he

19:31

brought him out to that woods. And I'm

19:33

like, he brought him there to kill him.

19:35

What's incredible... What's incredible is not until the

19:37

end of the movie, and it's not even

19:40

literally done this way, but it is actually

19:42

through mechanized invention. Thank you, Alan P. Allen.

19:44

Alan P. Allen? Allen A. Yeah, Allen Allen

19:46

Allen Allen. Oh, they're all the same... Allen

19:49

Allen Allen. Oh, it's

19:51

the end of tour. I just got that

19:53

they're all the same goddamn initials. Anyway... It

19:56

surprises me that our protagonist never

19:59

once thought... to light his farts

20:01

on fire. Something that

20:03

the minute I found out it was

20:05

possible, I was like, let's go. It

20:08

did, I will say, maybe

20:10

I'm revealing too much right now, but it

20:12

did make me think like, well, what could

20:14

farts do? You

20:16

know, I know you can light them on fire,

20:18

but I don't know, I genuinely

20:21

don't know what else

20:23

they could do. You know that Twitch stars sell

20:25

farts in a jar. I'm

20:27

sorry. You're gonna have to

20:29

say that entire sentence again, but

20:32

slowly. No, I

20:34

don't mean I'm Twitch- Twitch stars

20:36

sell farts in a jar. That's

20:38

a tongue twister. Everybody ready? Twitch

20:41

stars sell farts in a

20:43

jar. Pretty good. I'm

20:46

sure there are ways, I'm sure there are many

20:48

ways that they're fetishized and all that, but I

20:50

just mean like, what are they capable of? Yes,

20:54

why isn't science trying to

20:56

harness the power of farts? Because one

20:58

of the things that's really doing damage- Because it's full of

21:00

adults. One of the things

21:02

that's really doing damage, climate wise, I

21:04

believe is cow farts. Yes. Is

21:07

agriculture. Exactly right. It is the

21:09

methane created by factory farming and

21:11

all this kind of stuff. That's why I try to eat

21:13

as much meat as possible to kill those cows. So that's why,

21:15

exactly. This movie, this movie,

21:17

this kid's farts, that's gotta be like,

21:20

I don't know how many acres worth

21:22

of cows this kid, this kid is

21:24

contributing mightily to climate change and

21:27

should be put in front of a firing squad. Here's

21:30

my question. So he's had

21:32

this condition since- Honestly, he was in

21:34

utero. Since the womb, you were. He

21:37

doesn't go to a doctor? The

21:40

one time he does a doctor- Till he's about 12. The

21:43

doctor's a fucking asshole. That

21:46

doctor's such a dick. The doctor's like,

21:48

everybody is like, you're a fucking idiot.

21:51

He's like, the doctor the whole time is like, I

21:53

hear that's not what I said, idiot. But

21:57

here's what I don't understand. And this is the

21:59

only flaw. I found with the movie. Honestly,

22:02

it's the only note I have, is

22:04

giving him a justification for having that

22:07

much gas, because him having

22:09

two stomachs, it left me

22:12

unsettled. Thinking

22:14

about him with two stomachs, and I was like,

22:16

oh, I think maybe he would just be very

22:18

hungry, or I don't know how that affects other

22:20

things, but I just wish

22:23

he was super gassy with

22:25

no explanation. Sure. Yeah,

22:27

we don't need a reason, and the reason, I

22:29

mean, I don't want to even get to

22:32

the end, because it seems like the issue

22:34

is, how does this

22:36

boy who wants to fart live

22:38

a normal life? And he

22:40

doesn't want to fart, Paul, he has to.

22:42

This is need. Well,

22:44

I guess, he feels like

22:47

he can never be an astronaut because he can't

22:50

control his problem. Like,

22:52

I mean, I don't know if farting would

22:54

stop, he seems to be dumb as shit,

22:57

and... Hey, whoa! They

23:00

literally say, Ned Beatty goes, this kid

23:02

is a fucking moron. He's a tool.

23:05

He's like, he's failed every test. Every

23:07

physical test, and every mental test. By

23:09

the way, it's then revealed he's only

23:11

been there two hours. And

23:14

yet, he's also eaten every

23:16

leafy green substance this

23:19

side of not NASA, whatever that

23:21

was. Then he is launched into

23:23

outer space. And what does he

23:25

do? I want to be clear.

23:27

I want to be absolutely clear.

23:30

This is after he has one

23:32

of the most prolific musical careers

23:35

in history. He's

23:37

like a Forrest Gump character in

23:40

that he's part of all of these

23:42

aspects of history. He

23:45

farts so loudly

23:47

that a high note is

23:49

created for Placido P. Placido.

23:52

And... Well, it's not that it's loud. I

23:55

think it's, I think it is, yes,

23:57

it's not. But it's high. A

24:00

note that can't be sung. Or that

24:02

Placido E Placido is P Placido is

24:04

pretending to hit. What? But

24:06

only one other person has ever been able

24:08

to. Sure. The man who Patrick Smash murders.

24:12

That's right. Right in front of him. And

24:15

now that man puts it together

24:17

that the boy is the fart. The fact that he

24:19

even is putting that together like, oh, it's

24:23

the fart. He

24:25

doesn't know it's the fart. What

24:27

he first sees is he sees Placido.

24:30

Yes, walk one way. But

24:32

he hears the note coming from somewhere else.

24:34

Yes. So he goes into the room and

24:36

our guy, Patrick Smash. Oh, he does say

24:38

it. Full blown tells him, oh, I travel

24:40

around. I make him tea. I do this.

24:42

I do that. Oh, and I sing

24:45

the high note with my ass. And

24:47

this guy's like, blink, blink, blink, what now? And

24:51

then he pours. What? Mylanta?

24:54

I don't know what he puts in that

24:56

thing. And why does he have it at

24:58

the ready? Why?

25:00

Yes. He has a tincture that

25:02

is perfect for this moment. A

25:04

moment he couldn't have imagined. He

25:06

could never have prepared for. He

25:09

couldn't have imagined what was happening.

25:11

And then I felt like there's

25:13

definitely child abuse going on because

25:15

that little boy has the

25:18

cream mustache on. And

25:20

it seems like hours later after he'd eaten

25:22

that cream, and no one told him to

25:24

wipe it off. No one. Even Placido is

25:27

not like, hey, clean yourself. Placido P. Placido.

25:29

This is a story about a boy who's

25:31

treated like a tool by everyone. Everyone.

25:33

And I love that when

25:36

Placido P. Placido discovers him,

25:38

it's Keira Knightley. Oh

25:40

my god. It's Keira Knightley who's like,

25:42

Professor, did you hear that? But

25:45

what? Now,

25:48

why was she there in that scene?

25:50

Well, I think Princess Amidala was supposed

25:52

to be there. And she's got

25:54

to be there whenever Princess Amidala is. And Korda-san

25:56

has to be there. As her double. You.

26:00

fucking nerds. How

26:02

did this get me? Communication, we all

26:04

know it's key, but sometimes we race and

26:06

we send off an email that may be

26:08

confusing and let's put a stop to that.

29:07

SimpliSafe. And

29:10

then when they see the thunder pants,

29:12

the titular thunder pants, which have nothing

29:14

to do with the film. Boy,

29:17

was I disappointed. I really was like- Well, this

29:19

is a movie that solves the problem in the

29:21

first act. It's like, and here are

29:23

these thunder pants at work. I was like, oh.

29:26

Here's the problem though. I checked the progress and

29:28

I was like, am I almost done? And

29:30

then I was like, minute 14? Oh

29:32

no. Here's the problem with the thunder

29:35

pants though, because what Patrick

29:37

Smash is worried about is controlling his

29:39

problem. And this is

29:41

what makes my heart break for Patrick Smash.

29:44

It's that he wants to control the

29:46

problem, but wearing a set of thunder

29:48

pants is

29:51

not really how

29:53

you say, hiding

29:57

that you have a major issue.

30:00

A major situation is happening with

30:02

you. But it's

30:04

so much better. Like, then when you have to... Why not

30:06

have... To witness it, to see those pants go, I

30:09

might just let it out. This is more distressing. No!

30:13

Why can't there be a second version that

30:17

can fit under regular pants?

30:19

Oh, look. V2? Yes!

30:23

Thunderpants.20! I

30:25

also feel like Patrick's

30:28

parents have done him wrong. Yes,

30:31

he farts. But don't dress him

30:33

and cut his hair like that. Such

30:36

a good point. Like he's Moe from The

30:38

Three Stooges. Such a good point. Why are

30:40

we doing this? Why are we doing this? Get dirty!

30:43

Like a mashup of Moe and Curly.

30:47

That's where the movie... It does have sort

30:49

of Matilda vibes, where you just

30:51

feel like this child, especially when her...

30:53

Is a little bit naughty? Especially

30:56

when he's delivering his speech. No, okay. When

30:59

he's delivering his speech when he goes up in

31:01

the rescue rocket. And he basically says,

31:04

like, I know... I'm so sorry. He

31:07

delivers that speech and I cried. I

31:09

did too! I

31:11

did too. Emotionally just very

31:13

available for Patrick Smash. Me too.

31:16

I cried when he was going into the paddy wagon

31:18

and he was arrested and said, to

31:21

camera, I'm scared. I was

31:23

like, I can't listen. Well, but here's

31:25

the thing too, and

31:27

no offense to NASA, but they

31:29

shouldn't be broadcasting that conversation

31:33

where they go, hey, there's a 70% chance

31:35

you're going to die. And you're on live TV.

31:38

We told you on live TV. Also,

31:40

I actually rewound that scene, Paul,

31:42

where one of the engineers comes

31:45

up to tell our main guy... I did

31:47

too. ...that he only had

31:49

21% chance of living. I'm

31:52

like, where was

31:54

this work about 24 hours

31:56

ago? Like, why

31:58

are you just... I have

32:00

an answer. Crunching these numbers now. I actually have an

32:02

answer. The entire thing was built by children. The

32:05

answer is, what do you think? 11

32:08

year old did this whole thing. Absolutely

32:12

not. Also like his mother is

32:14

watching the TV like she did

32:16

not know where he was. She

32:19

thought he was still with the opera

32:21

singer or dead. We sold him to

32:23

that molester. What's going on? It

32:25

was a different time. I'm

32:28

sure that the UK police made

32:31

it seem like he was dead. The CIA took him and that

32:33

was it. All this movie happens

32:36

very quickly. Once that murder happens, the whole movie

32:38

is over within 48 hours. Now

32:41

here's my big question. And I

32:43

don't mean to poke holes in Thunderpants. What

32:45

a fucking week for Patrick Smash. Opera

32:49

star kills a man almost

32:52

shot by a firing squad in

32:55

outer space. What?

32:59

But my question is this. They

33:02

needed him to power

33:05

the rocket. I won't even

33:07

break that down too much. Because

33:09

I did wonder why don't they have fuel? Same.

33:14

Same. It doesn't. But

33:18

there doesn't seem to be a real

33:20

reason given for why they need to

33:23

power it with farts. But

33:27

the thing that I truly

33:29

have a question about is so

33:33

he farts, it goes up,

33:36

and the movie posits, that's

33:39

it. Like the astronauts are back.

33:41

Well we see the International Space

33:43

Station or wherever he's headed in the

33:46

distance. So I don't know. I'm

33:48

assuming he's going to dock with the space station,

33:51

fart them back to Earth. I

33:54

mean he seems to be the only

33:56

person on that ship. So

33:58

that's why we're. Are there

34:01

other adult astronauts training?

34:03

Yeah, he's training on treadmills.

34:05

There's other adult astronauts like, huh, huh. And

34:07

I'm like, okay, he's part of a team.

34:10

I've seen the right stuff. I know how

34:12

this works. Nope, just him, in a rocket.

34:14

And they're like, you're definitely gonna die. And

34:16

he's like, if I die, I die because

34:18

I wanna be doing my dream. And I

34:20

was, I

34:22

mean, ironing my white shirt, like. And

34:26

he doesn't even get to, he doesn't

34:28

even get to do the dream. Cause

34:30

in my mind, he wants to be an

34:33

astronaut. This movie just posits, he goes up

34:35

and comes back down. Like he basically does

34:38

what Jeff Bezos and William Shatner did. They

34:40

just pop, pop. Like he's not a, give

34:42

him a moonwalk. Give

34:45

him a fart moonwalk. Damp. They already

34:48

got, who did it better? Barbie or

34:50

Thunderpants with the homage to 2001. So

34:53

funny when they did that. I think he just wanted

34:55

to go up there and be a space man. Not

34:58

an astronaut, a space man. Well, what's the difference?

35:00

I don't know. He just,

35:03

so his dream, his dream is

35:05

shit. I would have loved a

35:07

space walk. Yes. Just powered

35:09

by farts across space and time. But they couldn't

35:11

afford it because when he's traveling the world, they

35:13

have him on a black,

35:15

like a black stage. And it was

35:18

like, here's a person dressed as a

35:20

Canadian Mountie. Here's a person dressed as

35:22

a geisha. Here's a person dressed as

35:24

like Attila the Hun. Whatever it was,

35:26

it was just like there was no

35:29

back. It was not even, not even

35:31

green screen. They're like, who cares? Black.

35:36

It was just to go back to his monologue,

35:39

that devastating monologue. Should we

35:41

hear it? Yes. I don't know if

35:43

we can, okay. Hello everyone. My

35:45

name is Smash, Patrick Smash.

35:48

And this is my dream. I'm

35:51

going to try my best to be a good

35:54

spaceman. I've never had the whole world

35:56

with army before. I

35:58

mean, I do trust you. I tried to do

36:00

my best at home, but I wasn't

36:02

the one my mum expected me to be. I

36:07

did try to do my best at school too, but

36:10

I upset some of the other kids. And

36:14

I was a bit of a disappointment to my teachers.

36:19

One time I thought I'd found someone who was healthy.

36:23

We went all round the world together.

36:25

We sang together, but everything kept going

36:27

wrong. But then my friend

36:29

Dallen came and showed me that what the people

36:31

of In Space need right now is a friend.

36:34

And I'm going to try and be that friend. We

36:37

are Patrick and Alan, the team. And

36:41

with my gift, George Ennis and our friendship,

36:44

we can never go wrong. And

36:46

Alan, thanks for remembering

36:49

the sprouts this time. It was such

36:51

an indictment on all of us, honestly,

36:53

on humanity. I was like, wow, the

36:55

way we've treated this person suffering from

36:58

a chronic illness, they

37:00

don't believe they have any value

37:02

in our culture and our system.

37:04

And so the only way he's

37:06

truly ready to sacrifice his life,

37:08

because he has no spot down

37:10

here with us, with you all.

37:13

No, no, you all would

37:15

have turned your backs on him and rejected

37:18

him, made him some sort of pariah. All

37:20

I know is that Alan A. Alan

37:22

is a man. Alan should build

37:24

him another pair of Thunderpants, because at the end

37:26

of the movie, he's back on Earth, but he's

37:29

still farting. He hasn't controlled shit. He hasn't changed

37:31

anything. But I think what happens is

37:33

that when I hope what happens is that

37:35

when he comes back because he's been such

37:37

a hero and sacrificed so

37:40

much and was so brave that when

37:42

he farts around us, we love it.

37:46

I love my children. I love my children.

37:50

When one of them farts near me, I'm like,

37:52

get the fuck out of here. Like,

37:54

I want to get in the car and take off. Like, I... See,

37:58

I really felt... for Alan

38:02

A. Allen because I

38:04

similarly have basically no sense

38:06

of smell. Oh wow.

38:08

So like sometimes when someone farts or when someone

38:11

is like, oh a skunk, I'm like really? Oh

38:14

I can't, I don't smell it. I,

38:17

one of our friends has has the same

38:20

illness and... I don't, I don't

38:25

like that. And I always feel like...

38:29

condition. A, the word choice or B, how you

38:31

said it. I

38:33

always think about it and I'm like gosh

38:35

I would feel so scared walking around the

38:37

world not having a sense of smell. Like

38:39

you don't, you don't know what you're putting

38:41

out. Oh not at all.

38:43

I remember so much so that I'm

38:45

constantly trying to shower as much as

38:47

possible because I'm scared. I don't

38:50

want to be out in these streets smelling like a

38:52

bag of old mayonnaise. Well I remember

38:54

that there was a friend that we had back in

38:56

New York who and the issue that

38:58

he had was he never knew and take out

39:00

his garbage because it was like he didn't have the

39:03

sense of smell. So he like he smelled.

39:05

What does that mean? Here's

39:10

what I'll say about this movie. Ned

39:13

Beatty brings

39:15

it in this movie like

39:17

whatever it was, he

39:19

sees a script. You possessed the

39:21

most powerful tutor I've seen. He

39:24

says it with a gravitas and I watched

39:30

Ned Beatty and Paul Giamatti do

39:32

a scene I'm like these are

39:34

two fucking fantastic actors just going

39:36

like we're here

39:39

and we're gonna just commit

39:41

because... That's why I think

39:43

the tone of this movie is so successful.

39:45

It really is. It's like everybody

39:48

is committed to this strange

39:50

world and I loved

39:52

it. I haven't seen this

39:54

clip. This is either

39:57

an interview with Ned Beatty talking about the

39:59

movie or Ed Beatty acting in the movie.

40:01

Either way, I think it's going to be worth

40:03

it of watching because I read what happens in it.

40:07

I want to be a spaceman, but

40:10

I have a problem. I

40:12

cannot control my ass. Would

40:14

that be a worry? Love,

40:16

Patrick. I'm

40:18

joined now by General Ed Sheppard,

40:21

Commander-in-Chief of Operations at the United

40:23

States Space Center. General,

40:25

what makes an astronaut? I'll

40:27

tell you what makes an astronaut, Todd. You've

40:30

got to be focused, determined, and

40:32

in complete control of yourself. But

40:35

most of all, all of

40:37

my astronauts, each and every one of

40:40

them, has worked hard to overcome their

40:42

problems. And each one of

40:44

them is a uniquely

40:47

gifted individual. I

40:50

mean, that's good. I mean, that's just good.

40:52

I was listening to it like, okay. Is

40:55

it me? Okay. It's

40:57

so inspiring. And

41:00

he- I can't wait to show this movie to my

41:02

kids. And then I'll say this. Do

41:14

we like Paul Giamatti with hair? With

41:17

hair? Yeah. I thought

41:19

it was- I don't like him that much with hair. I

41:21

think he's a better actor without hair. Me too. And

41:24

I don't know why, but I do. I

41:26

didn't mind it. I didn't mind it. I

41:28

agree with you. I like him without hair. But

41:31

I like him with hair in the same way. Here's

41:33

what I like. I enjoy,

41:35

and as I'm rewatching

41:37

moonlighting right now with young

41:40

Bruce Willis losing his hair,

41:42

I'm enjoying watching people

41:45

who have these hair lines be

41:47

on TV. Not everybody

41:49

has either a full head of hair or

41:51

absolutely no hair at all. And

41:53

that's all we see in movies now

41:56

is robust head of hair or no hair. And

41:58

I like this. I like this. This

42:00

makes me... Same with teeth. You know what I

42:02

mean? Like, everybody in movies now, same

42:04

teeth, everybody's got them. Bing, bang, boom,

42:06

mouthful of teeth. You watch

42:08

a movie from the 80s, it's like, this

42:11

is the romantic lead with these teeth? And

42:14

this hairline? All right, movie, you got

42:16

me. Bruce Willis

42:19

unequivocally looks good bald, better

42:21

bald, but boy... but

42:23

boy in Die Hard with his thin

42:25

hair dynamite. I...

42:28

when I was a kid, I went to the, uh... the

42:32

haircut or the barbershop, and, um...

42:35

and I said to them, can you cut

42:37

my hair like Bruce Willis? And

42:39

now Bruce Willis, and they're like, well, what

42:41

does that look like? And I'm like, well,

42:43

you know, in the front, it goes down,

42:46

and then there are like these, like... like,

42:48

I didn't understand that that was a receding

42:50

hairline. I thought that was

42:52

a cool haircut. Is

42:54

that in the book? Put

42:56

it in the book! I have to tell you, it's not

42:59

in the book, and it's making me think, like, we need

43:01

another book. Yes! We need another

43:03

book. Yes! That, I

43:05

remember, like, my babysitter

43:07

at the time and the haircutter having

43:09

to explain that that is not something

43:12

that we could achieve. And I

43:14

was like, but no, no, it's easy. Just

43:16

cut up here, and like, and we're like...

43:18

They're like, the only person that can give

43:20

you that haircut, son, is time. Father

43:25

time. I got it.

43:27

I got it. Eventually.

43:30

So you'd send a picture of that

43:33

barber in your face. I

43:35

told you somebody could do this. I'm

43:37

stuck on the fact that a babysitter took you

43:39

for a haircut, but I'll guess we'll talk about

43:42

that later. I'm

43:44

like, where's mom and dad? Okay. That's

43:50

too important. My dad is here tonight. Give

43:53

it up for my dad. I never saw my mom more upset than when my

43:55

dad... My

44:00

dad's girlfriend tried to cut my hair and I came home with

44:02

a new haircut. She's like,

44:04

what? It's like, well, my dad's girlfriend tried to cut my hair. So

44:06

it was a tough one. Uh, sometimes I still

44:09

hear about that. I was like, I was

44:11

too young to say no. Wait.

44:17

If someone says, can I cut your hair as

44:19

a kid? You say, yeah. Too

44:21

young to say no? Is that the title of the

44:23

book? That's volume

44:25

two, baby. Today's

44:31

show is sponsored by BetterHelp. I

44:33

mean, look, there are certain things

44:35

in life that are non-negotiable. Right?

44:38

If you're going to pass soft serve ice cream

44:40

spot, you got to stop. I mean, you got

44:42

to get that soft serve and never skip a

44:44

leg day. That might be you too. But when

44:46

your schedule is packed with so many things, kids'

44:49

activities, big work projects and more, it's so easy

44:51

to let your priorities slip. And even when they're

44:53

the things that make us happy, it's hard to

44:55

make time for it. So why don't

44:57

you make sure that you have some time

45:00

for yourself and give yourself a time to

45:02

talk about yourself and you can do that

45:04

in therapy. And if you're thinking about starting

46:34

alright, so... Stephen Fry is

46:36

in here. Yeah. Great.

46:40

As the barrister. I mean, come on. This

46:42

cast is... Remarkable. Remarkable.

46:45

My favorite thing, though, about it is there

46:48

are moments that don't need to be

46:50

in this movie. For example, Paul

46:53

Giamatti has saved this young

46:55

boy from murder by firing

46:57

squad, gets him on a private

46:59

jet where the jet has made a bedroom

47:01

for him. Now, he's just going from, like,

47:03

the UK to the States. So,

47:05

conservatively, what? Like, you

47:08

know, let's say the longest flight, eight

47:10

to ten hours, they've made him a

47:12

bedroom, and they've given him multiple wardrobe

47:14

changes, which is the same shirt and

47:16

pants. Like, well, how many times

47:18

is he changing wardrobe? And,

47:21

but, while you're watching all of

47:23

that, Paul Giamatti goes

47:25

to the front of the airplane. He's like,

47:27

okay, so just keep on flying. Nothing

47:32

happens in that scene, because I was like, great.

47:35

He's intimately involved in every

47:37

element. But I

47:39

love that scene. Because he's also taking pictures of

47:42

Alan A. Allen from the window of

47:44

the limousine earlier in the movie. That's true.

47:46

And I'm like, who is this creep? This

47:48

is a movie about child predators, because he's

47:52

taking pictures of kids. Yeah, sure, I'll send you to

47:54

space. Sure, yeah, just get over here. I'll send you

47:56

to space. You want some candy? Come in

47:58

my limo. The answer to that is no. I'm on

48:00

tour with my mom. The astronauts need

48:02

your help. Oh,

48:05

my gosh. What I was most disturbed at

48:07

was at one point when they were ripping

48:10

off the Thunderpants, they cut to one kid

48:12

and his mouth is full of Thunderpants. Which

48:15

meant that he

48:17

went down there with teeth at the

48:20

point. Those kids attacked

48:22

him with a ferocity that I found upsetting.

48:24

And then when they walked away and he

48:26

was in his underwear, I was like, I

48:28

don't need to see this. I know. I

48:31

shouldn't see this. I know. It

48:33

was another question from our children, which

48:35

was like, what's happening now? And I

48:37

was like, I think they're eating him.

48:39

I think they've tied him to

48:41

a jungle gym and are consuming

48:44

him like piranha. They

48:46

tie him up. They crucify him

48:49

for farting. And at

48:51

a certain point for our sins, it

48:54

was just Easter. Hear me out. I

48:59

do want to go into the crowd. I want

49:01

to see what Dublin has to say about these

49:03

Thunderpants. Wow. OK. Let

49:05

me see. I'm going to come down there. Hi.

49:07

How are you? Hi. I was

49:10

just wondering, you did a Jason

49:12

Statham movie in London and a Jared

49:14

Butler movie in Glasgow. Did

49:16

you do this movie in Ireland because it's

49:18

green and Rupert Grint has red hair? Yes.

49:24

And is that stereotyping? Maybe. But you know

49:26

what? It's OK. You

49:29

guys can take it. All right. So

49:31

is anyone dressed all in green tonight? Is anyone

49:33

in costume as? I

49:35

see someone in a green and black striped sweater

49:37

right here. I don't know if

49:39

that was intentional or not. Oh my gosh.

49:41

We have somebody from NASA, from USSC. Where?

49:48

Well done. Do you have a?

49:50

Wait a second, Paul. Is that

49:52

Michelle? That's Michelle. Michelle.

49:56

Michelle from the Belfast show. Michelle

49:58

the best. What

50:01

is your question? My name

50:03

is actually Dr. Michelle Poors. Okay,

50:05

yes? Yes, you got the doctor. If

50:10

Patrick allegedly killed someone

50:12

in Italy, why was

50:14

he judged in England? Great

50:17

question. I

50:19

assume that Italy

50:22

extradited him? And I'm

50:24

not sure why. Well, because it didn't... No,

50:27

no, the man he killed was Italian, wasn't he? I

50:29

think so. Well, I have a

50:31

feeling that because there are so

50:33

many character witnesses for him being a bastard... They

50:35

had to take this. Yeah, they were like, you

50:37

know what? We need him back because we have

50:39

some unsolved business with him. Yeah. You

50:42

got it. Your name? Emma. And

50:45

your question? Hi. I actually have

50:47

a question, and what I think is quite a fun fact... The fun

50:49

fact is the news

50:51

anchor fella who is talking to Ned

50:54

Beaty and stuff, he is actually more

50:56

well known as Tinky Winky from the

50:58

Teletubbies. Tinky Winky

51:00

from the Teletubbies. Wow. Tinky

51:04

Winky. Tinky

51:08

Winky. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

51:11

And my question is a standing ovation

51:13

from that single gentle man there. My

51:16

question is... The creator of the Teletubbies

51:18

in the house. Wait, do you mean

51:20

the voice of or he's inside the

51:22

suit? No. If you go

51:24

on to his IMDB, it's not a picture of him,

51:26

it's a picture of Tinky Winky. Wait a minute. So

51:30

you're telling me, Tinky Winky, that

51:32

character puts on a skin suit

51:34

and is this guy? And

51:38

that's how good he is. That's a

51:40

fucking performance. Good fun fact. And now

51:43

what's your question? So my

51:45

question is that Patrick kind of divides a

51:47

lot of people. He, you know, some people

51:49

love him and the US government recruits him

51:51

and some people think that he deserves to

51:53

die, especially because, you know, his parts are

51:55

so lethal. He like nearly

51:57

kills a bully with them in the forest. Do

51:59

you think... I think this movie was an

52:01

inspiration for Oppenheimer. Oh

52:03

wow, this is a good question. Wow. I

52:06

told you this is an Academy Award winning film.

52:09

I wouldn't be surprised. Also because

52:12

I believe in the deleted scenes

52:14

quite a bit of graphic sex.

52:18

Alright, I'm going to go up to the balcony but I almost set up the

52:20

fire alarm. Sir, what's your name and your

52:22

question? How you doing? My name is Tom. My main

52:24

thing I want to know is why are we making

52:26

a shirt when we have a film called Tunde Pants?

52:29

Great idea. Can

52:33

we make pants? Can we make Thunder pants? Guys,

52:36

we can't start making pants now. I love

52:40

the idea of just an exclusive

52:42

pant for this show. But

52:45

that is like... Love it. That

52:48

has like metal on it and a

52:50

lunch box. The

52:52

lunch box I felt bad about because

52:54

we've seen him carry a lunch box

52:57

full of nuts. It

52:59

seemed like he carried a lunch box of

53:02

squirrel food. And that was

53:04

confusing too because doesn't that stuff make you

53:06

gassy? I think so. I

53:08

think his mother is munch-housing by proxy. I

53:14

think she's a Gypsy Rosalie situation.

53:18

Wow, Gypsy Rosalie now out by

53:21

the way. I think completed her

53:23

sentence. Living life.

53:25

Living life. Sorry.

53:29

Everybody's like now kibitzing about Gypsy

53:31

Rosalie. Did you

53:33

hear? I heard she was... I'm

53:37

in the balcony. Oh, there you

53:39

are. Double

53:41

balcony monsters over here. Here we go. What's

53:46

your name? John. Okay.

53:49

What's your question? You've been referring

53:51

to Placido P. Placido as

53:53

the opera singer who took

53:55

Thunderpants, you know, around the

53:57

country, around Europe. Do you

53:59

know... who Sir John Osgood is. Oh

54:02

no, is this gonna bum us out?

54:04

Yeah. There's sometimes these factoids

54:06

that bum us out. All

54:09

right, I'm gonna come to you last, only

54:12

because I feel like- Get out of the way, rip it baby.

54:14

Get out of the way. I can't believe it. What did he do,

54:16

what did he do? He was the

54:18

man who took him around. Plaso P. Plaso was

54:21

the man who was crushed by the light. Oh,

54:23

so we just had the names wrong. Oh.

54:26

Wait a minute, what? Oh. Okay.

54:28

Got it. That's right, yes. We

54:30

were calling Plaso- The wrong person. Plaso

54:33

P. Plaso. I thought he was about to tell me that

54:35

that guy was a child molester. I thought so too. Wait,

54:37

does that make- He was just letting us know we fucked up. He

54:40

did say they're all child molesters. All

54:44

right, Sir, your name? Your question. My

54:47

name is Niall. Just in terms of you're

54:49

asking about the green, methane

54:52

is most of what farts are

54:54

and under ultra-spectre light, it's green.

54:58

Okay. Wow. Wait a minute, is this

55:00

a- Are you a scientist? Uh.

55:08

I think that's the answer I was looking for.

55:10

Whoa. Thank you. Thank

55:12

you. Thank you, Sir. They've

55:14

worked at Professor of Chemistry for six years. All right.

55:17

Professor of Chemistry? Chemistry. Oh,

55:19

okay, that's nice. DCU. And

55:22

you're- Imagine if you were in this show and your fucking

55:24

professor was here. You'd be like,

55:26

what? I'm supposed to take you seriously now?

55:30

All right, yes, hi. Hi, Paul, how are you?

55:32

I'm Raven. Hey, oh my gosh, Raven. Raven's our

55:34

former intern for How Did This Get Made.

55:36

Oh, wow. Yes.

55:40

Welcome, well, good to see you. It's

55:42

wonderful to be here. So, someone, I have a factoid

55:44

and it's a fun one. But someone

55:46

previously asked about the green and if that's

55:48

why you chose Thunderpants. I think we're forgetting

55:50

about Dublin author, James Joyce, who

55:53

was partial to the fart as

55:55

a form of sexual enthusiasm. Look

55:58

at this, this is why- We had

56:01

an amazing age. Give it up for Raven.

56:03

This is James Joyce. James

56:06

Joyce. Well, I remember

56:08

reading doubletters, and a lot of it

56:10

was about farts. Obviously,

56:12

there's a lot to talk about in this

56:14

movie, and we love this movie. And, you

56:16

know, we're not alone. There are people out

56:18

there that also love this film, so I'm

56:21

gonna say that it's not time for second opinions. It's

56:23

time for the same opinions, but for

56:26

sake of this, it's now time for

56:28

second opinions. Whoo! Hi,

56:32

Malin. Wait, whoa. Okay,

56:36

whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on. Hang on, hang on,

56:38

hang on. Hang on. Everyone else

56:40

has introduced themselves by name. Why

56:43

did everybody respond to him? Oh!

56:55

Does everybody know

56:57

that? Does everybody know this man? When

57:02

did this happen? Okay,

57:16

this is wild. What

57:19

is happening? Why did

57:21

everybody do it? It's Alan? It's just because

57:23

it's Alan. Oh,

57:26

because Alan, yeah. Alan. A T-shirt

57:28

that just says Alan. And by

57:30

the way... It just says Alan,

57:33

Alan, Alan, Alan. I've

57:36

never been in a room that

57:38

was so ready for a chant

57:40

that they started it themselves. They're

57:43

like, if you guys aren't gonna start a chant,

57:45

whoever walks up next, we're doing it. Wow.

57:49

Come on, you fucking wackers! Holy

57:51

shit, I love this. No,

57:57

I'm like, I feel like Alan... Alan,

58:00

you can leave now if you think it's

58:02

best. Maybe it's best. Let's

58:06

do it. No, Alan, you gotta do it. Don't

58:09

go ahead, please, please, please. And now it's time

58:12

for Second Opinion. Whoa!

58:18

He packed my sprouts last

58:21

night, pre-flight. Zero

58:23

hour, 9 a.m. But

58:27

I'm gonna be hot on my own supply by

58:29

then. I

58:35

miss my mom so much, my sister too.

58:39

But do they even know I'm gone on

58:43

such a timeless flight? And

58:48

I think it's gonna be a long, long

58:50

time till I find a movie

58:52

out there that's so fine. I

58:54

don't even care about these reviews

58:56

at all. No, no, no, no,

58:58

just my second opinion. Second

59:02

opinion I'm giving if I

59:04

saw it on Amazon. Amazing.

59:09

Alan! Fantastic. Alan,

59:19

Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan,

59:22

Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan,

59:24

Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan,

59:26

Alan, Oh

59:30

my God. I'm worried about Alan. What is

59:32

happening? I don't know what's going

59:34

on. I love Ireland.

59:37

We've elevated, this is how gods are

59:39

formed. This is

59:41

how religion is born. People are like, I don't know,

59:43

we just follow him. What

59:45

are you talking about? He's, as someone said,

59:47

he's Alan. You don't

59:49

question him, you follow him. I really

59:51

do think of just like a white

59:53

shirt that just says Alan and black

59:56

font is really. Love it. Alan,

59:58

how did this get made? Dublin, 2024. All

1:00:03

right, so we go

1:00:05

to Amazon. 292

1:00:07

reviews, 292 reviews. Wait,

1:00:11

that's it? That's it. Well, this is, you know, of

1:00:13

course. 64%

1:00:15

are five star

1:00:17

reviews. Only

1:00:19

9% are one star reviews. Eagles,

1:00:22

stale, sorry,

1:00:24

well, sorry, I should say that again. Eagles,

1:00:27

stale. Reviewed.

1:00:31

No, no, no, I think you had it right. Cause it's

1:00:33

like this. Oh, I think this

1:00:35

eagle is stale. Eagles,

1:00:41

stale writes this. Well, don't eat that eagle. I think it's stale.

1:00:44

It's been out for days. Finally,

1:00:47

a movie that all

1:00:49

the boys and I can relate to.

1:00:54

My entire family laughed hysterically while

1:00:56

at the same time learning to

1:00:58

look at diversity in a

1:01:00

whole new light. This

1:01:04

film should be required curriculum

1:01:06

for all fifth, sixth, and

1:01:09

seventh grade boys. Let's

1:01:12

hope that the filmmakers agree and

1:01:14

produce more great films for our

1:01:16

guys. Five stars,

1:01:18

Thunderpants. I

1:01:21

do appreciate that fart noise out in the audience. I

1:01:23

was just gonna say, I have a genuine question. Does

1:01:25

somebody have a whoopee cushion in the audience? Cause

1:01:28

there was just an audible fart from the

1:01:31

audience. And I appreciate the

1:01:33

restraint in using it up until this point.

1:01:35

But if you've got a whoopee cushion, bring

1:01:37

it out. Put

1:01:39

your, keep your phones away, but whoopee

1:01:42

cushion as much as you want. Somebody

1:01:44

did say it's the Guinness. This,

1:01:49

this movie is from G Browning.

1:01:51

I really enjoyed this movie. G

1:01:53

Browning your underwear. I

1:01:57

really enjoyed this movie. And I think

1:01:59

Rupert Grint didn't. amazing job.

1:02:02

Ron Weasley was always my favorite of

1:02:05

the three main Harry Potter characters and

1:02:07

going from Harry Potter to Thunderpants was

1:02:09

quite a transformation for Rupert. I wish

1:02:12

he would have made more movies

1:02:14

during this period of his life. Dan

1:02:17

Radcliffe steals most of the

1:02:19

thunder and Harry Potter. Thunderpants.

1:02:22

And I would love to see

1:02:24

Patrick smash fart in Harry's face.

1:02:28

LOL. The

1:02:30

extras on the DVD were wonderful

1:02:33

to watch and when Alan called

1:02:35

Patrick Damon's little fart boy I

1:02:37

thought I would die laughing. My

1:02:40

kids were amazed at the familiar faces

1:02:43

in the film especially the girls from

1:02:45

Chronicles of Narnia. I would

1:02:47

highly recommend this movie for a good laugh.

1:02:50

The title? The ugly

1:02:52

ginger-haired kid from Harry Potter question

1:02:54

mark five stars. What? That's

1:02:59

insane. The text is full the

1:03:01

body rather is full of compliments

1:03:06

and then that's the subject? This is

1:03:08

the clickbait kind of Amazon reviews you

1:03:10

know you go oh oh I like

1:03:12

this person. Also he's

1:03:15

never looked cuter and sweeter

1:03:17

like greed. I thought he was

1:03:19

a fucking home runny. That's why I've

1:03:21

read it because I felt like it

1:03:23

had no power. He

1:03:26

was making huge choices throughout.

1:03:28

He's so good. Every one

1:03:31

of them. He's very good. He's

1:03:33

very very good. I loved when his dad

1:03:35

was showed up looked just like him. Slammed

1:03:38

the door in Patrick smash his

1:03:40

face. He was like yeah he's

1:03:42

gone and thought he's never coming

1:03:45

back. Here's a letter get

1:03:48

get fucking bent

1:03:50

you idiot. Alright

1:03:53

so and we'll finally end

1:03:55

on Lorraine Crystal Myers who writes this.

1:03:58

This movie is is the best.

1:04:02

It was funny. It was cute. It

1:04:05

was sad. But it

1:04:07

ended so well. The little boy was

1:04:09

so cute. We were all awwing

1:04:12

at the little boy. I

1:04:14

also suggest the Muppets Wizard of Oz, five

1:04:16

stars. I

1:04:21

love her so much too, because she's

1:04:23

like, I'll put my full name, all

1:04:25

three names. Lorraine

1:04:27

Crystal. What was her last name? Wait,

1:04:31

no, it's Lorraine Crystal. Myers.

1:04:34

Wow, good job. Which is

1:04:36

Michael Myers' Camp Crystal Lake. It's somehow, I think,

1:04:38

really. That's what I felt like it was there

1:04:41

too. Let me read you this thing.

1:04:43

This movie has some interesting connections. And no one

1:04:45

brought this up in the crowd, and I thought

1:04:47

it was great. And I thought someone would.

1:04:49

This movie is being played

1:04:51

in a scene from Five Minutes of

1:04:53

Heaven. Five Minutes of Heaven

1:04:56

is an intense drama slash thriller.

1:04:58

And Sundance Award winner from 2009 starring Liam

1:05:00

Neeson. In

1:05:04

the scene, one

1:05:06

of the characters is watching the TV

1:05:08

with his family after violently confronting Liam

1:05:10

Neeson's character, the man who had murdered

1:05:12

his brother 30 years prior during

1:05:16

the Northern Irish Troubles. They

1:05:21

get into a gruesome knife fight, nearly

1:05:24

killing each other. And

1:05:26

then they both fly through a second floor

1:05:28

window. Liam begs the other

1:05:30

actor to off him and

1:05:32

live his life for his daughters. But that

1:05:35

other actor walks away, cut to

1:05:37

the other actor sitting and staring

1:05:39

uncomfortably at his kids, watching Thunderpants

1:05:43

in the daytime. So

1:05:45

that makes me feel like it is

1:05:47

an Irish movie? No.

1:05:52

No. We don't want it. Don't give

1:05:54

it to us. Please don't attribute this

1:05:56

movie to our people. Um...

1:06:01

All right. Very

1:06:04

quickly, I'll ask you... I'm just like, somehow this

1:06:06

is a movie that people

1:06:08

are watching somehow during the troubles? The

1:06:12

movie is an hour and 27 minutes. How

1:06:14

many farts are in it? Oh. Yep,

1:06:18

they got it. 50 farts. Too

1:06:21

many people did research. Hey, babe, what

1:06:23

are you doing? We got to go. Nothing.

1:06:27

Scan, scan, scan, scan. Budget,

1:06:30

$7 million. Wow.

1:06:35

Opening weekend, $627,000. Wow.

1:06:41

In the UK, this

1:06:44

film made $2 million. Okay.

1:06:49

And in the pervert, someone yells...

1:06:51

Hey, God. Someone

1:06:55

in the creep corner had something to say. Um,

1:07:01

uh, and the worldwide gross was

1:07:03

$3 million. The

1:07:06

movie came in, uh, 2002, and

1:07:09

it came out the same year as, uh, Britney

1:07:11

Spears' Crossroads, The Country Bears, Master

1:07:14

of Disguise, Rollerball, Jason X, Killing

1:07:16

Me Softly, Shark Attack 3, and

1:07:18

The Adventures of Pluto Nash. And

1:07:21

it was produced, written, and directed by

1:07:24

the same guy who directed Bill and

1:07:26

Ted's Bogus Journey... Oh, wow.

1:07:28

...and Garfield the movie. Okay.

1:07:32

There we go. Would you recommend this

1:07:34

movie? Absolutely. Forever,

1:07:36

yes. I can't believe,

1:07:38

honestly, I can't believe we hadn't seen it yet.

1:07:41

This is... I'm... I am also shocked we

1:07:43

haven't seen it yet, but... I had never heard of it. As

1:07:46

I wrote multiple times in my notes, I'm

1:07:48

having a great time. So,

1:07:50

part of me is even... And I had

1:07:52

a wonderful time here with you, Dublin, tonight.

1:07:54

Give it up for yourselves. Yes. You

1:07:57

guys killed it. Great questions, great songs.

1:08:00

You've done your research, but even still

1:08:02

part of me is like should we have even done this

1:08:04

for the podcast this for me?

1:08:07

Qualifies as a thank

1:08:09

God this got made movie I Do

1:08:15

think when you see a movie like this you

1:08:17

go Oh kids movies used

1:08:19

to be weird and fun and

1:08:21

not generic. Yeah, yeah, Zacharina and

1:08:23

darker Yeah Lot darker to

1:08:25

have real like boy like he

1:08:27

goes through it and one

1:08:29

of the things we haven't talked about is

1:08:32

that? Patrick smash is

1:08:34

constantly Evaluating this is

1:08:36

the best day of my life This

1:08:38

is the worst day of my

1:08:41

life and his life vacillates between

1:08:43

those two poles those two extremes

1:08:46

It is either the best day or the

1:08:48

worst day and that's real and that's

1:08:50

like a fart Sometimes you let it out. Oh

1:08:52

good. It didn't smell and sometimes you let it

1:08:54

out. You're like, oh no, I cleared an elevator

1:08:57

Yeah, and also I think what I really connected

1:08:59

to because I'm not sure this is the way

1:09:01

he phrases it But when he says now

1:09:03

we're gonna do my dream or you promised me

1:09:05

we're gonna do my dream It

1:09:08

was so sweet and childlike this

1:09:10

idea that a dream or something you

1:09:12

really want is a an Experience

1:09:15

that happens once that's why when you're

1:09:17

saying space man should be he should

1:09:19

have done more I'm like the

1:09:21

space man I the idea of him being

1:09:24

a space man was really just putting on

1:09:26

the costume Yeah, and sitting in that

1:09:28

rocket and that was enough for him. He didn't

1:09:30

really need to go up There

1:09:35

were things in this movie that

1:09:37

were deeply moving to me well

1:09:39

as a as absurd as what

1:09:41

you're saying is June And I want

1:09:43

to be clear. It's truly truly batshit

1:09:45

bananas but It

1:09:49

wasn't I want to live my dream. It's it

1:09:51

was I want to do it I want to

1:09:53

I want to experience it and I want to

1:09:55

get it done and I

1:09:57

loved I loved that this movie that

1:10:00

through absolute

1:10:02

suffering, you

1:10:05

can achieve your dream. And

1:10:08

it's all by pure happenstance. Yes. Because

1:10:13

if he wasn't poisoned, he wouldn't

1:10:15

have killed somebody. If he didn't kill somebody,

1:10:18

he wouldn't be rescued. And if he didn't

1:10:20

rescue anybody, he wouldn't have saved the day.

1:10:22

My guess is that Allen A. Allen when

1:10:29

they came to the stage in

1:10:31

development where they needed to propel

1:10:33

the rocket with not rocket fuel,

1:10:35

but instead farts, they would have

1:10:37

come to get Patrick Smash anyway

1:10:39

from wherever he was. It

1:10:41

just so happened he was

1:10:43

being put in front of a firing

1:10:46

squad. Got it. And I can't,

1:10:48

I'm really serious right now. I know I've

1:10:50

not been serious most of the show. I'm

1:10:52

dead serious right now. If you haven't watched

1:10:55

this movie, watch it only for the scene

1:10:57

in which they put a child in front

1:10:59

of an adult firing squad and tell me

1:11:01

this isn't the greatest movie you've ever seen

1:11:04

and you're like, how great would it have

1:11:06

been if one person just took a shot?

1:11:09

Scene 11 Beth. I

1:11:18

mean, what is this? I

1:11:22

didn't even realize that he's wearing a jumpsuit that's

1:11:24

the same color. I mean, this is his other

1:11:26

shirt. And then it happened. Oh,

1:11:29

his voiceover. I

1:11:34

wish Giamatti had been Agent Smith. United

1:11:36

States of America Special Forces. Same

1:11:38

color, the green. Secretary

1:11:41

has authorized the transfer of prisoner

1:11:43

Patrick Smash. Look at him in

1:11:45

the background. What's going on? This

1:11:48

movie is brilliant. I mean, this kid's

1:11:50

a genius. So good.

1:11:52

We're up here talking about how great Rupert Grinpert

1:11:55

is, but this kid is great. And here's what

1:11:57

I want to say about his performance. It could have

1:11:59

been so... overdone, the way

1:12:01

he delivers lines like, when he

1:12:03

says I sing out of my

1:12:05

ass. Dead, he's

1:12:07

straight. Dead, dead. He is.

1:12:10

Gives it nothing, puts nothing on

1:12:12

it. He's like the, he, he,

1:12:15

I mean, and I, and I want

1:12:17

to reiterate, we are up here giving

1:12:19

all the flowers to Rupert Grimpert. This

1:12:21

kid deserves everything and more. Really,

1:12:23

everything's underplayed and it's beautiful. Well

1:12:25

that, that, I

1:12:28

do think that that's important to say. For

1:12:30

a child actor, he does underplay it

1:12:33

a lot. He's so good.

1:12:35

He plays melancholy better

1:12:37

than any kid I've ever seen. No,

1:12:39

this is a master class.

1:12:41

Yes, he's just taking every

1:12:44

insult, everything just like, not,

1:12:47

he's not overdoing it, he's not like, oh

1:12:49

pity me, woe is me, he's just like,

1:12:52

and then the voiceover comes in which he also

1:12:54

kills and is like, that was the best day

1:12:56

of my life. That was

1:12:59

the worst day. The worst day of my life. I

1:13:02

can't remember the refrain that they say

1:13:04

to each other, these two friends, but

1:13:06

it's, it's quite beautifully written. Oh he's like,

1:13:08

what am I? And he says, you're a genius. Or,

1:13:11

yeah. And we'll get through it through our

1:13:13

friendship and there's nothing we can't do and, you

1:13:15

know, I love it. This is a beauty about

1:13:17

friendship. It was beautiful. I would, I would show

1:13:19

this to my children if I had them. Yeah,

1:13:21

but you don't. Oh, where are

1:13:23
