Midweek Mention... My Cousin Vinny

Cousin Vinny

Dan: Hey,

why you gonna do, why you gonna do my cousin Vinny and that? is from the Walkland.

This was, yeah, that's perfect. If you, if you've been from that, if you're from that part of the world that is. Almost like being taken back. Uncanny. Yeah. That is, that is like childhood memories because this was, my cousin Vinny actually chose this because Sidey mentioned he'd never seen this.

Sidey: had never seen it, no.

Dan: I

thought, well, let's correct that.

Sidey: I did watch it had, so I knew like the Oscar winning thing and that it was Jay Pley and whatnot, didn't have a clue that fucking Ralph Macho was in it.

Dan: Danny

Reegs: I'd forgotten. Fred Gwynn,

Sidey: His idiot is irritating, mate. Yeah

Reegs: no. He's Herman Munster,

Sidey: who

Oh, the judge. The judge won't budge.

Yeah.

Dan: Also the guy who plays was it. Wilber Weber or something like that. He's the, the, the FBI car expert [00:01:00] in the trial right at the He's been in loads of stuff.

Reegs: That

was James Por he was in talented Mr. Ripley last week, wasn't

Sidey: He was, he was the dad, green leaf or whatever's that

Dan: There we go. Knew he was in stuff. And so I thought, well, let's, let's check this out. This is 1992. I was, I was. Barely 70 years old when this came out. And I remember it from that time. I'm not sure that I'd seen it again, but I remember it being, you know, quite surprising that it won an Oscar at that

Sidey: time. Everyone was surprised about that.

Dan: Yeah. And just to let that cat out the bag, it was for.

Sidey: supporting actress.

Dan: actress. The sporting actress. Yeah.

Sidey: The, conspiracy is the can't remember the guy's name, but he just. Didn't read what was on the card, but I think that's Bar.

Reegs: the Warren Beatie one is this.

That's not Warren

Sidey: No,

hang

Dan: Maria

Cris: no. Marito me is the, the actress, but I dunno who the guy was.

Sidey: Jack [00:02:00] Palance.

Reegs: Alright. He read out a

Sidey: But no, I think he just read the name. She won, she won Phone Square. It's directed by Jonathan Lin. Yeah. Not my words, Lynn. The words of Top Gear Magazine. And it starts off with a car

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: They're cruising

Reegs: Oh, it's a shot of a green Buick, isn't it? And it's quite important because it becomes integral to the plot really. This particular car,

Sidey: it has a, a song playing and it's all about the southern hospitality, the lyrics. They don't seem that hospitable

Dan: Yeah, they're going through these back.

Kind of waters of

Reegs: really poor. There's such a lot of poverty. You to sometimes forget that in America, like this particular, you know, they're selling hubcaps at the side of the road and it looks all broken down and fucked like a third world country

Dan: And they stop off a.

Kind of convenience store, garage station and they're collecting stuff and you can see that obviously students trying to save a few qui.

They say this, this kind of can of beans is 33 cents. This is [00:03:00] 32 cents. Oh look, this one's 31 cents. It's not the brand name and everything, but they all taste the same anyway. And so they're going right down to save as much money as they can. At one point, he's danny LaRusso,

Sidey: but he is done a kind of blokey thing of not picking up a basket. Has he? Yeah. Like you try and balance as much stuff and to, to ha make matters easy for him. He puts something in his

Reegs: He

puts a can of tuna in his pocket. Do they?

Dan: Yeah. The only he wants. So, and then when he gets to the, the till, he makes the guy fill up his slushy a little bit higher. But he forgets the can of Tauna is in there. And they, they leave. They get halfway down the, the street and he goes, geez.

Like I've, I've.

Sidey: crime of the century,

Dan: got this tuna in, like, what should I do? And he goes, you know, they'll hang you up there for this. And they start joking around about, you know, it being a medieval law system in

Sidey: they got death penalty.

Dan: they got death

Reegs: this sort of thing You'd say if you were in like Norridge or [00:04:00] Guernsey or

something?

Sidey: Yeah,

Dan: exactly. And they actually get pulled over. They get tailed by a cop and get pulled over. It starts going through their mind. They're, they're quite nervous. Young student kids, aren't they? They're not mouthy,

Reegs: Well, they're going across, I think they're going across to a, a university, aren't they? So that's, that's why they're doing this big epic drive from New York

Dan: New York,

Reegs: the country. Yeah. And so anyway, this sort of misunderstanding over the tune tuna is suddenly gonna become quite catastrophic.

Dan: Yeah. Because they end up being IDed in the, in the prison. They end up in the, in the police station in a lineup and everything, and they think oh, I knew this was serious, but,

Reegs: all this over a can of tuna seems

Sidey: quite low. The, the policeman never says to him.

Cris: why

you've been stopped or whatever.

Sidey: what the

Dan: He says, I know what it's

Sidey: at this point, although you kind of like can figure it out from this point, is that just after they've left?

Reegs: [00:05:00] Yeah.

Sidey: We dunno about the car bit, but the guy, this, this shop tell has been killed. Yes. In a robbery. Yeah.

Reegs: There's been a robbery gone wrong

Sidey: And they never say to the, to suspects that we are looking at that. That's what they've been pulled over for. And he, so he's just saying like innuendo type

Reegs: It's

a lot of tension out of this.

Sidey: Incriminating himself. Yeah. But for the wrong crime.

Reegs: Yeah. Well,

'cause he said like, oh yeah, officer, I know I did it. Don't worry.

Sidey: cent, 10

Reegs: I've done the, you know, I've done the crime. I wasn't thinking about it and all this stuff.

Dan: Stan didn't know anything about it. He was, he was innocent.

Sidey: Then he said, well, he'll be an accessory. And he is like, alright. You know, but

Reegs: accessory to stealing again in June

Dan: And he goes, we know you shot the clerk. And he goes, I shot the clerk. I shot the clerk

Reegs: and then suddenly there's a big hullabaloo after he is made this sort of semicon confession that forces everybody out of the room and we are left to deal with the aftermath.

Dan: and they've got him, saying, you know, I shot the, the clo more in shock of course than actually any confession. And the [00:06:00] next thing they find themselves making their one phone call,

Sidey: ti title drop coming up.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: he, he comes to call his mom and they talking about how much it's gonna cost for an attorney, and he

Sidey: but he, he slags off all the people in the

Reegs: they're all, they're all Hicks,

Dan: all corrupt. They sleep with their sisters, some of them do. And yeah, they're all kind of looking at him over up and down and while he is saying this and he goes, oh, we got an attorney in the family. Yeah, my cards really?

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: And to Joe Peshy.

Reegs: Yeah. As they're about to be charged with first degree murder and given the death penalty as well, which they'll find out at their first hearing. So, Vinny, he turns up. In his car. I can't remember what it was, but it was something pretty distinctive.

Sidey: He doesn't look like a stereotypical lawyer, let's say.

Reegs: He doesn't, no. He's all dressed

Sidey: outta Goodfellas.

Reegs: but straight outta Goodfellas. Exactly. Long black leather jacket. All in black. I think he's got,

Dan: got a mole, he's got

Reegs: he's [00:07:00] got boots that have got

like gold coat. Yeah. Caps on.

Dan: He's

tried to make the effort in being down south that he's, he's got these kind of cowboy boots on.

Reegs: He's almost immediately giving his girlfriend Marissa Tome. I can't, what was her name?

Mona Lisa Mona Lisa. He, he starts giving her shit about not fitting in. They just both look ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

Dan: And yeah, he's. He's kind of just got very little idea on how to be loyally as we find out. And

Sidey: reveals

almost straight away that he, he says six. How long have you been loyal?

I said, you're thinking of years, maybe months? No, it's weeks. Yeah. And it took him probably half a dozen times. Six times.

Reegs: to pass the bar as well.

Sidey: So not the strongest candidate if you're looking to get off a, a murder

Dan: who's never had a case.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: No. And

he's like a, one of those shitty.

You know,

chase.

Reegs: he is an ambulance chaser

Sidey: personal claim. Yeah.

Reegs: Personal injury claims and all

Sidey: he [00:08:00] has to go meet the judge to be allowed to represent. Yeah. Because I guess there's different state and federal laws and whatever, and he has to know the laws that are gonna

Reegs: Well,

he gives him that big handbook of the Alabama state practice.

Like, I expect you to know this stuff inside out the procedure that we have

Dan: quite an intimidating judge, isn't he having a monster? He's, he's got just a massive head and well, he is

Sidey: he's a big dude.

Reegs: he did, he's the very stern, straight man to you know, Joe PEs, he's ridiculous. Vinny really.

Dan: And he's, he also inquires about his credentials and things. And he's, he,

Instead of coming out with the truth and saying you know, I don't have any expertise in that. He, he does that typical

kind of thing where he just says, yeah, sure I can do it. And this ends up being a little bit of a, a running thing with the judge because he starts giving two or three different names over the course of the film of

Sidey: [00:09:00] Yeah. They've gotta check his credentials. Yeah.

Dan: and, he, he's. You know, just the years before the internet. So this takes time to get verified.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: and he gets to practice and he gets to, to carry on the case up until a little bit further down the line when it'll be questioned again.

Reegs: Almost everything he does is to, the judge's disliking from calling him a judge rather than your honor to not wearing a suit to not following procedure. He's constantly in. He tells him he's gonna be in contempt of court. I think it is first at their arraignment, where they're just there to say whether he is

Sidey: guilty.

He won't say, he won't just say he

Reegs: say the words even though it's really clear.

Fred Wynn's really pissed off with him. He tells him. Like the best, the next two words out of your mouth, better be guilty or not guilty. And he starts waffling again. And then he ends up in contempt of court and following the boys into prison. Yeah. And he's gotta be bailed.

Dan: He's got, he's gotta be bailed. He is bailed out. And staying in like awful hotels where there's either the, the whistle of [00:10:00] the.

The work.

Reegs: I liked this, this was

Dan: factory going off at five 30 in the morning. The,

Reegs: the train coming through. Queing

Yeah.

Dan: it is.

Reegs: In fact, the best night's sleep he gets in the whole movie is when he's later again thrown into prison

Dan: And there is actually a riot at that time as well, but he just sleeps through it, doesn't he?

The other lawyer.

Who's

the prosecutor? We've seen him in stuff before as well.

Reegs: Lane Smith? Yes, he's really good. He's but I can't remember any stuff that he was in. He was a TV actor, I think, more than anything.

Dan: He was in like Dallas, I think, and, and things like this. Yeah.

Sidey: He was in Lois and Clark's news. New Adventures of Superman.

Reegs: Oh, yes, he was. Yeah. And

Dan: of that would've seen him in then that,

Reegs: Mm. Well said.

Dan: well, I knew he was a, the, the, the word or then,

Reegs: And it is funny because he thinks he's doing him a favor. He is like, oh, it'd be great if I could see all your case notes.

He's like, and then he phones up his oh, can you send Vinny over the [00:11:00] case notes? And he thinks he's charmed him on this like, hunting trip that they're going on where they're making him look a bit stupid. And then she's like, she's back at home. Mona Lisa reading the book. She, they kind of cut to their relationship.

She's desperate to get married, but mostly it looks like she just wants to fuck him in this 'cause she's constantly like parading around in her.

Dressing gown and tiny outfits and stuff.

Sidey: and they never fucking do.

Reegs: And they never do fuck because it's a PG 13, I think. But

Sidey: But you are also waiting for her to do the thing, like I,

Reegs: Well, she constantly picks up, right?

She's the one

Sidey: actually, she's the brains

actually

Reegs: the book and tells him No, he had to give you that stuff. 'cause it's part of the

Dan: Discovery. It's called Discovery. Yeah. And

Reegs: uncanny, Dan. It really is. I

Dan: I know new Walk, can't it. And so little gems of information uncovered to him. He's there's another scene where. He protects her honor by trying to beat up a guy in a bar who, she's beating him Paul. And it kind of, I guess, proves his [00:12:00] credentials for just being an arguing.

And and, Ralph Macho kind of says this as well. Is that his name?

Sidey: Yeah. Might as well be.

Reegs: Sure.

Dan: Why not? He says, look, a Gambini never loses an argument

Sidey: I guess it was like a play on a Gambino,

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: crime,

Dan: A ga, a gambini just never loses an argument. He will argue and argue until if there's something wrong, he just won't let it go. You've gotta trust him because with his incompetence, Stan his fellow accused partner in crime has lost all faith and wants to go with the public at attorney public defender.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: The kind of discuss

Reegs: Who seems very credible actually when they, you know, he asks good questions, dresses, he's sort of the antithesis basically of of Vinny

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: Until he gets onto the trial. But yeah. Vinny at one point he meets this guy two or three times. He owes money and he goes, well, you've gotta prove to me you've got the money and what my options.

I'm gonna get my ass kicked till I get [00:13:00] $200. And he's obviously about four times the size of Joe Peshy, this

Sidey: guy. Yeah. But you're thinking, I've seen him in casino. I've seen him in good

Dan: He

Sidey: know what this guy can do

Dan: can turn and, and when he does get the chance, he's just really pissed off because he's,

Reegs: I don't shine shoes no more.

Dan: he's got, he's got mud all

Sidey: No more shines. Tommy,

Dan: yeah.

And the pencil in the back. He's got mud all over his, suit at one stage. And he's really pissed off about that. And this guy says, oh, I've got the money. He's waiting in the street. And he just lamps him, takes the money and goes, and then turns up in, in this kind of

Sidey: but he gets shit for it again from the judge and he is like, you turn up in this outfit, and he is like, look, I went,

Reegs: He's, it is ridiculous though.

He's wearing this

Sidey: it's Napoleon dynamite suit

Reegs: Yeah, this Dixie suit, the pink

Sidey: But he, you know, the dry cleaner couldn't do it 'cause it's not New York. In an hour the shops were shut or they didn't have anything for him, so he had to get a secondhand suit and, but he's still wearing a suit and a tie and everything, so keep crying.

Dan: Yeah. Pink with a, like a, a dark pink

Reegs: a maroon sort of trim or

Sidey: But I, I found this section [00:14:00] of the film just drag a little bit. Because there's

Dan: the law,

Reegs: think the film is, gen in general is very uneven

Sidey: two hours long. It's unnecessary. Because you know that the court case is going to be difficult for him until the point that they suddenly find something and win it.

Yeah. And you're kind of just sitting

Reegs: although I did enjoy this stretch though, where he, they stack up a case against the two guys that seems very, very convincing and you know, there's a lot of evidence and this, that and the other.

And then he systematically dismantles

Dan: You get the public defender who's suddenly

Reegs: he bottles it. Yeah. He

Cris: start stuttering, you know?

Sidey: Yeah. It's real bad. Yeah.

Reegs: And then Joe Peshy kind of starts taking on, you know, the, the

Cris: well he starts interrogating witnesses. No, as in like,

Sidey: Yeah. He's good at like arguing. That's his strength is

Reegs: Yeah. And he deconstructs their stories.

He, you know, works out that the angle that the guy was looking from, his view was partially obscured by seven bushes. And you know, all she did the, another lady who positively identified

Dan: identified, what's this brown stuff here?

Dirt. Right? [00:15:00] That's right. That's all over your windows. What are those, what those things called dead sort of woody things, trees. That's right. And what do they have leaves? So he is just making sure that

Reegs: it's clear. It

Dan: it is clear. That is really, really clear.

Reegs: And when he does the, he tries to do the eye test on the old lady. And he goes, how many fingers am I holding up? And the judge is like, let let the stenographer show that

Cris: that it's been,

Reegs: holding up three fingers.

Like, mm,

Dan: Yeah. Just for the like, yeah.

Reegs: but it's good. He, he dismantles all their arguments. And then as I think we've talked about before, this particular sequence is sometimes shown in law schools to show like how to do a sort of, a bit of deductive reasoning over people's witness statements.

Dan: You know, the, the the, the other prosecutor, the, the guy that we we'd said, but wasn't he in Love The whip as well. Remember when we, there was that

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: Well, the spot here at Hotel de France.

Reegs: the one that you chose with, not Charles

Dan: it was He was,

Reegs: that Lane

Dan: [00:16:00] Martin? I think it might have been.

Reegs: What was that fucking film that we watched as well? Now that's really annoying. It's really good.

Dan: It was, that was a really good film. I'm sure he was, he was in that as well. and there was, there was that, that kind of scene where they were saying, you're gonna love the whip, which was him getting

Sidey: man

on a swing.

Reegs: No, it was called,

Sidey: Between the

Dan: sounds like a

Sidey: blue Collar on the Yard Over the Edge. The Nickel Honey cycle. Rose, resurrection. Princess City, Francis Purple Hearts.

Red Dawn Place in the Heart. Native Son Weeds

Reegs: Oh, I nearly had it there.

Cris: What was, it? Is not

none of those

Sidey: I don't think it was him.

Reegs: No, he isn't, anyway.

Sidey: Mighty Ducks.

Reegs: No.

Dan: No,

Reegs: he in that, yeah.

Alright.

Dan: Oh, okay. Well, knew he was in something big. So that guy wasn't in the film that I thought he might be in, but otherwise he's being really convincing to a jury in my cousin Vinny, where he's holding up both hands and he's saying, you know, almost like if [00:17:00] the glove don't fit, you've gotta ac quit.

He's, he's got these kind of rhymes that are just meaning, you've gotta. Make sure these lot are going down because they're having the evidence stack up against him and the, the, the

Sidey: key witness, his key witness is the, is the car guy, right?

Dan: Yeah. He brings in a car guy. Who is going to prove that? Theirs was the car that was seen driving away the tire tracks

Reegs: He brings in a load of physical

evidence about

the di, what exactly what tires were on the car and what car it would've had to have this sort of

Dan: which actually, is turning out to be the most common car tire after Joe Peshy kind of flip flips it. But he still doesn't have that evidence because it,

Sidey: Well, ultimately you've gotta sell a story to the jury, right? Yeah. And then that's what they're made doing a better job up until this [00:18:00] point of this convincing story along with the evidence that they've got to make it look like these guys have done

Dan: but he's got a couple of photographs.

Sidey: also infer that it's kind of like a closed shot, this town, and they just want these outsiders done for it.

No matter what

Dan: they do. They do imply that it, but then the penny drops where he just looks at a photograph and he goes, a minute,

Sidey: Well, he is berated her about taking shit photos,

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: he? Yeah. Yeah. He's given her a real hard time. Marissa, Tema, And then he's looking at them and suddenly the penny drops, he said, and he shows it to her and she is like, fuck yeah.

Okay. And you're like, what is it? What is

Reegs: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dan: she knows everything and she realizes that the kind of,

Reegs: is this, when he gets her up on the

Sidey: side? Yeah, he calls her up.

Reegs: all pissy with him

Sidey: anyway. Yeah. They're not talking because. 'Cause of it. He's given her such a hard time about the photos.

Reegs: Yeah, he's, he's figured this out because he also worked in a garage as well.

And then, so he gets her on the stand, he sends the sheriff off with a bit of p piece of paper and goes, check this out. And then he gets her up on the standing. She's pissy. He's like, she's ordered to tell the truth and [00:19:00] nothing but the truth. And then says she won't talk to him because she's not speaking to him at the

Dan: the judge makes her and,

Reegs: and then he comes up and he says, oh, I've got this theory that, you know, there were two identical cars with two mates, and this is what's happened. They've got, and she's like, no, you are wrong. You are more on, this is why. And reels off this massive like

Dan: technical jargon, explanation, yeah. About

Reegs: limited slip differentials at why it was.

Actually a different car. So there are two different cars there. They've got, they weren't in fact the same car. There were two different

Dan: They, they, one of the cars, if it had gone over a bump like that, it would've ridden up. But the only car that didn't do that was a 1964 Pontiac Express Firebird, 2000 or something. And it was,

Reegs: I did like the way that she was, because they tried to undermine her credentials. They're a bit like, she's not a mechanic. She's a waitress or something. Yeah.

Dan: Yeah, no, an

Sidey: of work. She

Dan: outta work, hairdresser

Reegs: of work hairdresser. That's right. But everybody in her family, she reels off like

Dan: my father's a mechanic. His father's a [00:20:00] mechanic. My, my uncle's brothers were mechanics. My mother was a mechanic. She's like,

Sidey: Yeah. Wouldn't her uncle's brothers? Yeah, they her uncles. They were all

Dan: mechanics.

Cris: all, yeah,

Reegs: were all mechanics.

She

Dan: we had a dog, it was a mechanic.

Reegs: She demonstrates her credibility when Lane Smith tries to undermine her with a question that can't be answered, and she answers it spectacularly establish herself

Dan: It's a trick question.

Reegs: So, she, her testimony is able to prove it and then wouldn't you fucking know it? Just for dramatic effect. Then the sheriff walks in and goes, oh, by the way, we did actually find that two towns over some two kids were arrested and confessed, I think,

Sidey: they had the murder weapon.

Reegs: had

Dan: a 3 57 magnum gun in

Reegs: in the car that Marissa Tome described.

Sidey: Yeah. And

Dan: And so

It

cases thrown out.

Reegs: Wait, it's a big, and

Dan: My cousin really is one.

Reegs: Yes. And the judge gives him a sort of, he's like, oh, I did manage to [00:21:00] track you down.

And

Sidey: well, he's trying to get out as fast as he can before he is rumbled for not being who he says he is. And then it turns out that she's pulled strings and had someone give a, like almost an alibi, basically a false identity.

Reegs: Judge Malloy that they vaguely referenced earlier. Yeah. As so, and then, you know, the judge is like, oh, I didn't realize this in the presence of such a legal legend

Dan: Yeah, you win some, lose some. Oh, you are a legend. Like, and, and he doesn't really know what's going on here until she says, yeah, I've.

I've sorted you out yet again. And, and she goes, oh, I wanted to do it all on my own.

Reegs: it

cheapens my victory because you helped me.

Dan: and she says, oh, wasn't that bad. Imagine you win all your cases, but every now and again, you've gotta say thank you to

Sidey: someone. Yeah. I don't think she should marry this guy.

Dan: and

Reegs: this guy.

They just drive off bickering in their really weird, toxic

relationship.

Dan: she wins an Oscar. And

Sidey: when win a

Cris: they didn't actually get married in real life though, so it's

Dan: okay. And the boys the boys get, get off [00:22:00] after an exciting, yeah, I think, I think that's late later on in the credits you have to watch right to the end.

Reegs: Oh. There's a great scene actually that we missed where his buddy thinks when Vinny first turns up to see them in the in the prison cell and he thinks he's there to rape him. He's like, again, more things that he's saying to him could be taken

Dan: You should be down on

Reegs: should be down on your knees thanking me and the guy's like, oh.

Dan: yeah. a couple of little laughs like that throughout the film. And a story in 1992 that wouldn't hold up these days with the internet because he would just be instantly found who he said he is. Bleeding hell. Things move fast like that, don't they? You know, you just think so many plots of films just in our lifetime would.

Sidey: probably just put a case into ai

Dan: torn apart. Yeah. Just be torn and apart. But what did you thinks is as

Sidey: I enjoyed it. Yeah, I did, I did enjoy it. On, on, on the whole, it is not a perfect movie.

It's, it's like these sort of films should be 90 minutes max. Like there's no absolutely, [00:23:00] absolutely no need for this to be two hours. But I did enjoy it. That being said

yeah,

I'm gonna say she's said worthy. Oscar went, I, I don't

Dan: She would,

Reegs: one, doesn't it

Sidey: it's so strange because they never do anything for comedies.

Yeah. That's, I think what really like, blew people's

Dan: I dunno what she was up against.

Sidey: There'll be like some period drama. There'll be a,

Cris: probably the question more likely than anything else. It would've been who else was there and

Sidey: if best supporting,

Cris: if it wouldn't be anyone really standing out, then that's probably why,

Sidey: just don't do a lot of comedy recognition at all the academy.

So that's why I think it surprised everyone. But and she was a newcomer as well, so that was, that was weird.

Reegs: It's a funny kind of story when America kind of explores its class system, isn't it? Because like these guys come from the big city. Yeah. And then they come to the, the small town and it's like often in these stories, the small town, you, you're rooting for them or root wins some over, but this is now like, it's a solid

Dan: it's almost deliverance country, isn't it? Where they're, they're saying, I dunno what you've heard about you, you high flight and city slickers have heard about law down here, but we, we are

Reegs: we do it properly[00:24:00]

Dan: and we do it properly.

Though it's clear that they've rushed through the,

Sidey: that hasn't been a huge investigation

Dan: arrest them and, and haven't really listened to them saying, no, no, I was confessing to a can of tuna. I had nothing to do with like, gunning these. And even just their demeanor and manner didn't. Seem like, you know, murderers, they're clearly shocked about what this is, but maybe they're great actors.

I, I dunno to to the police in that regard. But yeah, it's a comedy. It's it's Joe Peshy and a couple of

you

know, funny scenes with, and we know him now gangster

Sidey: against type here. Well, he had done home alone as well, but it's not hilarious comedy.

Reegs: I think there was some good gags. Yeah. But it spread out over like quite a long time. Like you said, very uneven, like wandering a bit. But.

Dan: Overall,

Sidey: Do you enjoy it, Chris?

Cris: Yeah, I enjoyed it. I watched it a couple of [00:25:00] times actually when I was, obviously, when I was younger. I did put it on this time and I fell asleep before the movie actually started which, sorry, but that's, I, I do know the film and I know exactly what happens in it and, and all that because I, if I've seen it a couple of times, I, I know what's going on.

I remember every time I watched it, I enjoyed it, so, and, and I probably would've enjoyed it this time. I do know what you mean though, with the two hours thing. It's always, especially the, the older the films get

Sidey: when they start getting dated is you're like,

Cris: because you, you already know that you think with today's brain into a, into a movie that's been made 30 years ago and you're like, this wouldn't work today.

That's, that was the time. Right. And, and some of them, at least to be fair, for a comedy and for a film that is, I know it's PG and whatever, it wasn't really misogynistic. It wasn't really sexist. It wasn't really racist for the time that it was made. Which we've seen movies that we've, we've

Reegs: If anything, it completely dodges all of those

Cris: So I, I think from, for a film that's from [00:26:00] 1993, considering other ones that have been done at the same time and they're really offensive by today's standards, this is actually, I quite enjoy it. But again, it's, if you sit there for two hours and listen to the same kind of slow burn, it's not really

Sidey: Tome has aged like a fine wine as well,

Cris: Yes, yes. She definitely

Sidey: Mega babe. Still

Jay basically doesn't look so hot.

Reegs: no,

Cris: no, no. Not these days. No.

Sidey: But this for me is strong.

Recommend

Reegs: strong.

Cris: Yeah.

Dan: Go see it. Get it on Disney.
