This week, the Bad Dads rewind to 1989 to review the iconic Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder comedy, See No Evil, Hear No Evil.

What We Covered

  • Mustache Watch: Cris debuts a new retro mustache. Is it Ned Flanders? Luigi? You decide.
  • The Main Feature: Reviewing the chaotic brilliance of Wilder and Pryor navigating a murder plot as a deaf man and a blind man.
  • Classic Tropes: We talk about Kevin Spacey, 80s car chases with a blind driver, and using other senses (and Shalimar perfume) to outwit the cops.
  • Lost in Translation: Reegs runs down the funniest international titles for the film (Spain went with "Don't Yell At Me, I Can't See You").

Bad Dads

SPEAKER_02

Moustache. Yeah. Yeah, it's been in place for a little bit. Yeah, but I mean it's looking particularly it is looking strong. I think if you it's the shave, isn't it? You've shaved around it and you've cultivated that.

SPEAKER_04

You're looking a bit if you had some blue dungarees and a red t-shirt, you could pass for Super Mario. I was thinking Luigi or Luigi, yeah. Luigi was the hornier of the two, wasn't he?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. He was definitely the horny of the two. Strong game. Like it. I don't think I could grow a tash like that. Prove it. I d it just doesn't okay. I will. I by by not doing it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I've to be fair, the only re the main reason why I still have it is last time when I tried to trim my beard, I ran out of battery on my trimmer, and I just thought let's it would be funny. And this time I thought I'm gonna keep it because it's either funny or people are like, oh that looks good, or they're like, What are you doing, mate?

SPEAKER_04

A lot of people get rocking the moustache look these days as well.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's a bit of a retro kind of vibe. Pick Ned Flanders. Yeah, but I also thought, because I went, I I did it, and I thought, if if it's I don't really feel it, or if it's all just it's easy to shave then the whole thing, right? And I went downstairs.

SPEAKER_04

It looks like you'd need a streamer to take it off.

SPEAKER_00

Like And Kira was like, oh my god, are you gonna keep that? And I was like, Yes. And because she said that, I was like, I'm definitely keeping it. Just just tocked it in.

SPEAKER_02

Did you have a yellow bikini thong on at the time, or is she too? Uh animal print. Animal print leopard skin. Yeah, like that. I think you kind of get away with being in a western.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You could just handle bar that.

SPEAKER_00

No, it doesn't really go because around here in the in the corners is really thin. I don't have a thicker side. So it'll go really thin and then it'll kind of Doesn't join up properly.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it doesn't really is still pretty, you know, cool.

SPEAKER_00

I've done the I've done the is it James I can't remember, the uh Metallica guy. James Hetfield. Hetfield. I've done the one where you just shave here.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I've had the the thicker thing with the moustache and I've had that before and that is That's annoying. That is yeah, a strong look. But ringing the bell. Maybe, yeah, maybe, maybe one day. Maybe one day.

SPEAKER_02

What about you and your moustache game?

SPEAKER_04

Well, it's alright. I mean I've got something going on.

SPEAKER_02

You've got something you could you could shave, you could have a mustache tonight or tomorrow. Yeah, I could do right now. You do live on air. You side of used to have like the wax and all sorts going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I'm a bit more casual with it at the moment. Yeah. Tash, but it's just annoying because it goes in your mouth and you're eating. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And you if you eat something, it stays on it and stuff like that. So it's yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Is it a particularly evil character thing, would you say?

SPEAKER_04

A moustache, definitely. Yeah. It can be. Or it could be like a comedy. That's villain twirling their moustache. That's a classic.

SPEAKER_01

Because this is sensory like thing, no evil week.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Well, it's the try it's the it's a 17th century Chinese phrase, I think, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01

Monkey.

SPEAKER_04

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we're doing it we're taking them all.

SPEAKER_04

Doing all the evil, isn't it? The monkeys. The classic.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's what they say is the house of the three monkeys now. Where it's like hear and see, say, speak.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So we're kicking off with see no evil, comma. Hear no evil. Yes. The classic Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, it's the best the year in Romanian history. Cauchescu. Yeah, we killed him on Christmas Day.

SPEAKER_04

Did you think that was Renate?

SPEAKER_00

Live on TV. He didn't like it, so yeah. Then you make a movie about it, which is a bit strange, but okay. Well not yet.

SPEAKER_02

That would be Have No Evil, would it, and then just kind of ending him.

SPEAKER_00

Pretty much, yeah. I haven't watched this film though. Have you ever seen it?

SPEAKER_04

Because this is obviously a bit of a classic.

SPEAKER_01

It could be but this was a big hit when we were at school and oft quoted. Yes. Specifically by Paul Michelle loved it. Yeah, was a big friend of ours and really loved it. When it got to the left brain and the right brain, like I knew that whole thing.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Did you recently look at Netflix and see they'd done a Gene Wilder tribute documentary? No. Because I'm halfway through that as I was already into this. I was second half, because I'd want to watch the first half. Yeah. Later. So it doesn't make sense. But Gene Wilder was one of the funniest guys on television that I knew when I was a kid. He was from this film from Willie Wonka, obviously. But looking at the documentary and how he got into film and TV and things, it was Mel Brooks was seeing one of his co-stars, and she said, Look, you've got to see this guy for a programme. And he ended up doing Springtime for Hitler, which was all known as the producers. Wasn't he in the Frankenstein one as well? And he was in the Frankenstein ones, but the Springtime of Hitler, the producers, was the first one. He played the accountant, and they just said he was absolutely hilarious. They loved him, but also generally a beautiful, lovely guy. He was just a straight-up guy. And it's always nice when they're not doing these kind of you know retrospective documentaries and saying he was an asshole.

SPEAKER_04

Like he was a beauty. And in the context of this movie, he was the guy who advocated, and and I think he has a screenwriting credit on this movie. He turned it down three times, isn't he? Because he wanted to exploit. He wanted to not make the people with disabilities the butt of the joke. And I think you know that's what this movie actually does rather well, considering how old it is. There are other more problematic things he can talk about, I guess.

SPEAKER_02

But that's his mindset would have been, you know, really nice kind of forward-thinking guy in in a time where nobody was really thinking and considering people with disabilities or minority people. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And this was the third of four collaborations with Richard Pryor. There was Silver Streak and Stir Crazy before this. And this came out in 1989, which was three years after Pryor's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Yeah. And he got top billion in this as well.

SPEAKER_02

Did he do this?

SPEAKER_01

I had so I know this film quite well, I thought. And then when it I started watching, it's like fucking Kevin Spacey's in this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I had the same thing. Yeah. Which character is he? And he's got a facial cyst, which was that just in the movie and never commented on.

SPEAKER_01

I had so oblivious. Kay's like, what's that lump on his face? He's never had that before. And I was like, oh, is something gonna happen in the film? Or he just had it removed like later on much further down the line. I guess that's what had happened.

SPEAKER_04

No, I think it's a gap for the movie, isn't it? I think it's uh a game. Which funny.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, well, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So it's in New York City, it opens with Gene Wilder crossing the road.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I think they give you a few bits in New York because it's like sensory, you know, it's loud, it's brash. And obviously the two characters aren't able to experience that to its full. I got told to turn the volume down. Alright. Uh, my least favourite part, any viewing experience, when I get told that, I'm like, fucking hell.

SPEAKER_04

He's trying to cross the road, isn't he, rather unsuccessfully? I mean, he's watching for he's on a zebra crossing and he's watching for the light to go and he's slightly on the curb. Yeah. And there's a guy in a car trying to Laurie trying to come around the corner, and he's sort of half blocking, but he doesn't see him and he can't hear him honking on the horn.

SPEAKER_02

He starts abusing him, doesn't he? And it's not until he crosses the road a little bit where he turns back and he he looks and he can read the lips of the guy who's saying fucking asshole or something. He doesn't have a clue. He's shouting it out, and Richard Pryor, who's going down the subwortwalk steps and who can't uh see, hears somebody just shouting, You fucking arsehole.

SPEAKER_04

Like and so are you talking to me?

SPEAKER_02

And obviously, Gene Wilder can't hear him, so they're you've got our two characters in the opening that haven't met each other but abusing each other but not actually abusing each other.

SPEAKER_04

And while he's taking wild swipes into the air punches, which I don't think Gene Wilder sees they go their separate ways, don't they? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Um we f we find out that Gene Wilder is the proprietor of a news agent in the bottom of a big building. It's like an office building or a station building or something.

SPEAKER_01

But anyway, so it's a newsstand.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And he's opening up.

SPEAKER_01

He's doing a good job, but yeah, he doesn't it is very clear he has to liberate.

SPEAKER_02

At one point, the like the bell boy comes over or the the you know the concierge comes over and he has to tell him and he says, Oh, Mr. David, what's his name? David Lyons. Yeah. He goes, Mr. Lyons and he sort of checks himself and he realizes, God, this guy's deaf. Like I I need to go and speak to him. So he starts doing this performance of raising his hands above his head, saying the fire warden and Miming very slowly. Miming very slowly, all these kind of things. And Gene Wilder looks at him and says, Look, I don't know where this started, but there's a rumour going round that I was deaf, and I really don't like it. And it just gives you an indication that he won't accept his his blindness as a um Well, he's deaf, so he definitely wouldn't accept his blindness. No, he won't accept his deafness, sorry, as a a disability, and he's making this those kind of hilarities all the way through, actually, isn't there?

SPEAKER_04

They're both like that. Prior's like that as well. I mean, when he we meet him afterwards, he goes for drinks with his sister, and then he goes to a doesn't he go horse racing and he's trying like he's he's just pretending that he's watching the race. Yeah, through binoculars.

SPEAKER_01

He puts all his money and then some on centipede. Yeah. And it doesn't win.

SPEAKER_02

He's got a newspaper that's upside down, he's reading. Oh, that's another subject. So why are you even pretending?

SPEAKER_01

And he's like, well, not pretending.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, well they're both like denying their disabilities, I guess, or trying to cover the money.

SPEAKER_01

Neither has been this is something that's come on in life. They weren't born deaf in.

SPEAKER_04

That's right. David was eight years ago, we'll find out later, and his wife left him immediately as soon as he went deaf. Wouldn't you know?

SPEAKER_02

Like just coincidence. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So anyway, because he's run out of money, Wally has to apply for a job. When you know it, it's at the concession stand where David works. So he goes for a predictably comical sort of job interview. Yeah. Misunderstandings are plenty. Like David's only getting half the conversation because the guy will talk and he'll read his lips and then he'll turn away and miss some key bits of context. And yeah. Quite funny, I thought this bit. But in the middle of it, Joan Severance turns up looking fucking sweet. Oh no, actually, it's not her first, is it?

SPEAKER_01

No, it's the guy first. It's some greasy some dude who's all sweaty.

SPEAKER_02

He's a bookie for Wally.

SPEAKER_01

He's he's trying to get out of there quick and he then she comes in. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

He's got this coin in the David ducks down and misses all of this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And he puts he quickly puts his change in the cigarette cigar box. Yeah. And then including this coin that he stashed on his briefcase.

SPEAKER_02

It looks like Yeah, so it's a gold coin, and and this sets up what will be for the rest of the film a McGuffin, isn't it? Yeah, a wild goose chase and and things around this coin.

SPEAKER_04

And the central idea of the movie, which is she kills this guy and walks off, and he didn't see it, he didn't hear it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's the and we just see her legs. So they they've they've got the whole picture, but it's two guys who have only got part of their their senses, so the hearing and the say the the seeing is is only part done. And they then get arrested because between they're at the scene and between.

SPEAKER_04

While he comes walking in, picked up over the dead body just because it goes absolutely fine. David's like looking like, where's he gone? Oh, it's quite quite.

SPEAKER_02

No, there's a few little kind of chuckles and things up until this point, and we've just set the scene, really. They go down to the cop shop where you've got this guy and they're bit they're being interviewed together, and again, it's just a complete fuck up, it's a complete car wreck of an interview because they only get part of the story from one of the guys as he turns around Gene Wilder, who's blind, he's asking him questions, and of course, only Richard Pryor can hear it, and he doesn't think he's speaking to him because he can't see it, so it's just an absolute balls up this. And I remember when I was a kid, I was just laughing and lolling at this bit. It was just all so funny, probably a little less funny this time. I still chuckled quite a few times. But when I was a kid, it was you know, you hadn't had the last 20, 30 years of films to compare comedies to. This these were two comic actors at the you know peak of their powers and and certainly in you know, high regard when it came to movies and things. I probably didn't watch it in cinema, I would have watched it at home or on video. Yeah. Um a couple of years after it was done, but it was still, you know, have you seen it?

SPEAKER_04

Where I watched that last night, and this this moment where they escape, don't they, out there Well, because first of all police station, Kevin Spacey and Joan Severance turn up posing as their lawyers to come out, and that they immediately realize because he's like he smells the Shalamar perfume. He sees her legs. He sees her legs. Their other senses she realize they realize that they're particularly the sense of smell. And they've got the they've got the coin, right? They've got the coin, yeah, because despite them processing them, doing their fingerprints, a comical scene when they're trying to take their photo, it's not going very well. They never checked Wally's pockets, so he's still got the gold coin in his pocket, which works to their advantage when they improvise a quick escape. They get some water from a water fountain, don't they? And they spit it in the incompetent captain's eyes and run off. And then there's a great, it's quite a funny like 80s car chase. I fucking love the bit where he's telling him to because it's the blind car, it's Wally driving and he's blind because David's hands are tied behind his back. And he's going, look at the road. He's like, Alright, feel me, you feel better.

SPEAKER_02

Well, they've had another scene where they've had a fight in a bar and they're like, shuffle them, shuffle white, six o'clock, five o'clock, and Richard Pryor's swinging punches, and that guy gets into a fight with him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

How terrible must he be to lose a fight to Richard Pryor like that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

The parents lost against two. But yeah, there was it showed a little bit there how they were gonna use their how they were gonna teamwork against different villains and and challenges along the film.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. But so they have the car chase, it ends with them driving onto a barge, don't they? Yeah. Like a rubbish barge or whatever, and then they the car's like wrecked and they fall out with each other a little bit. It's that kind of dynamic. But where they're heading is he's seen her on the phone say Grace, he thinks it's Grace something, some woman's name, but Wally's sister identifies it as Great Gorge. That's right. A ri a resort.

SPEAKER_01

We've seen it's even Kergo or something, isn't it? What's Kevin Spacey's character called Kirgo?

SPEAKER_04

I didn't know I never got his name.

SPEAKER_01

Um We've seen them reporting to some other guy. Yeah. So we're able to see the back of his head. Yeah, that's right. Like it's some big mystery.

SPEAKER_04

Uh Like he's the bad guy in Inspector Gad. Exactly like that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you never you never quite well you do later on, but for a lot of the film or Spectre, you never see who number one is.

SPEAKER_04

So they end up without going to this Grace Great Gorge place, don't they? Oh yeah. Where there's a gynecological convention basically going on. And uh they have to pose undercover as these two doctors, Dr. Kesselring and Dr. Johansen, because they're the only two rooms left.

SPEAKER_01

And this was just to Because they're trying to get a room there, aren't they? Yeah. They're trying to book in, and the only way they can because it's fully booked, is to like pose as these two.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Aren't they getting the coin back or something at this point as well? Because they've got to get it back from Joan Severance's room, haven't they? Because this is the bit where they split up. Wally has to end up going to the convention and giving a talk on geriatric sex.

SPEAKER_01

Multiple orgasms.

SPEAKER_04

And uh David has to go to the bedroom to steal the coin back. She's got it.

SPEAKER_01

She's she's basically been able to get hold of it at some point during all this. And uh he has to break into her hotel room while she's in the shower, so we get a gratuitous like boob shot. She's absolutely knockout. Really hot, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And then we get a really a scene where he's like he's pretending he's got a gun in his pocket.

unknown

It's just the best feeling.

SPEAKER_01

And and uh towel, it's the literal gag of is that a gun in your pocket or you just feel to see me.

SPEAKER_04

It really is, yeah. And afterwards he takes his hand up and still got his stomping erect in like yeah. And she seems to love it as well because there's been some weird dynamic, hasn't there? She'd kissed him earlier on, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I must admit, at this point I was really pleased that Nelly and Yano had already walked off because it wasn't it was just 80s bawdy kind of like a bit blokey. You you don't really want to be watching this with your daughter and uh No. Or the main feature. No.

SPEAKER_04

Uh so they end up going to how do they end up going to Sutherland's estate? They end up there, don't they? They get captured and taken there.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's right, yeah. And we find out that Sutherland is actually a bloke. A bloke, and he's also blind.

SPEAKER_04

Anthony Zerby. Is that the actor? Yeah. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna ask that. Yeah, he's also blind, which hadn't we hadn't figured that. No, and seems completely pointless. Really? There's no there's no reason for it to be that way.

SPEAKER_04

It's to level the playing field for the final shootout, isn't it? Yeah, which happens as he gets double crossed.

SPEAKER_01

He gets double crossed by Spocy, basically. He makes a mistake of explaining that this coin, well obviously it's valuable, otherwise he wouldn't want it, but he explains what it actually is, and it's a superconductor, yeah, which is going to revolutionise how they're gonna do all this. Communications and things. But then they drop it's it's almost like Dr. Evil, because he's like, it's worth eight million, you know, is that it? Eight million quids. Yeah. Is it really? Yeah. And so Space is like, oh well, then we need to renegotiate my fee because I want half or whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, a ha a half decent left back in the Premier League for that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And the guy's like, okay, and just like gets his gun out from under his desk, turns the light off, and fucking executes him.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think he needs to turn the light off, really, did he? He could have just shot him, but anyway, so then there's another convoluted bit where she'll come back, Joan Severance's character, and Wally and David will be there, and eventually Sutherland himself will get shot. She'll try to leg it out of there, and David and Wally end up going on a zip line.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and there's a chopper waiting for her, and they use themselves as human bombs.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, or Richard Pryor drops from a height and sexually assaults her because he he just feels her boots, doesn't he? I mean, it's like blatant.

SPEAKER_01

Take the opportunity when it presents itself as well. Well, I suppose.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know if he's trying to go the oh, I'm blind, I don't know what I'm doing, but he gropes her on the phone.

SPEAKER_01

I think, you know, so they zipline there and they fell on the sea ball. I think there was a f there were falls from equivalent height in the main feature. Yeah, and he broke his ankle. Which were much more realistically the aftermath.

SPEAKER_02

It was quite a drop, actually. And they turned it perfectly.

SPEAKER_01

So there's there's the two assailants and they fall both in the zip wire and perfectly shakes.

SPEAKER_02

And the police sirens are already come.

SPEAKER_01

And then there's another amusing bit of Gene Wilder then giving orders to the guy. Yeah. While the police captain's shouting the orders, and he's the guy's following the police captain and Gene Wilder thinks.

SPEAKER_02

He thinks it's him who's holding a knife and like he's gonna he's one of the heroes.

SPEAKER_04

Like he's gonna throw that knife and he just turns around that. Oh right, okay. So they're exonerated. The police captain has a pretty comical actual meltdown. He's still disgruntled about it. I want to shoot, I want to shoot these guys. Why can't I shoot them? Yeah, so you can't count in, sorry. And and then it ends with like a mirrored moment from earlier in the film where they'd where David had been talking about his lack of belief in himself, really.

SPEAKER_02

Um Howie didn't want to be ridiculed for having a disability. Yeah. Howie felt very self-conscious of that. And Richard Pryard plunged an ice cream on the top of his head and said, Well, how do you feel now? And he got in there before Gene Wilder again. Yeah. But then Gene Wilder did the same to him. We finished with the ice creams on the room. We we're belly laughing all the way home. It wasn't the belly laugh that I had the first time I watched it when I was like nine years old, but no, it would have been probably I'd have been eighty-four. No, but it's still plenty of chuckles in this, and having watched the documentary of Gene Wilder and looking at those comic genius moments of his, really, his face, his the way that he looks, the way that he presents a line, I really enjoyed this still. I thought it was still a you know comedies are tough to hold up, particularly ones in the eighties, yeah. That just seem to have a different culture and a different approach to how we find things funny now. And given that this is around about people that are, you know, blind and deaf, it could have been a lot more Difficult. Yeah. Those elements haven't aged all that badly. No, not too bad at all.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Side, what did you I got a a couple of very small chuckles. I it was all just not as funny as I remembered. The erection bit was the funniest bit. I just didn't find it funny. I wanted to, and there were bits that I was like, oh yeah, this bit's coming up. I'm like, oh funny. Kevin Spacey has a really shit English accent. You're watching Space again. This guy goes on to win an Oscar style.

SPEAKER_02

Like, this is not that kind of movie, but he was like the buddy and Annie or something at this stage, wasn't he? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it just it was sort of underwhelmed me this time, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe you had built up the expectations.

SPEAKER_01

I think so, yeah. I had this sort of elevated, sort of, you know, idealised version of it in my head. But I like those two guys, and you know, they're all really good and she's the you know, Joan Seven's really hot. But yeah, it just wasn't I wasn't I didn't laugh out loud at any point. No.

SPEAKER_04

I rarely laugh out loud when I'm watching things, but I did enjoy I did quite enjoy this. I I thought like the it it did well because it's not very mean-spirited and it doesn't take the Mickey out of them. It leans into their like it's more the people around them that are the issue. Yeah. And there were a surprising number of laughs. I was laughing at the uh driving bits and some of the misunderstandings and stuff, but yeah, it's an eighties movie, isn't it? I mean it's not run out and see it right now if you haven't.

SPEAKER_01

No, it'd be hard to give it that strong, I recommend. Yeah. Still a strong recommendation. Did you see did you see who did the score? Bear in mind I thought the score was wide. Yeah, it was um Stuart Copeland. Yes, yeah, it was this. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

No wonder he didn't get any royalties out of the police. Yeah. It was a little bit I think it suffered from being a bit overly long. And at one hour thirty-seven, that's hard.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but you could have there's still a bit of fat you could have trimmed, I think. Yeah. It's it's difficult. It was for a t you know, they they make films for a time, don't they? In in the 80s, this was popular, this was funny, this was the human. It was so lame. Yeah. So lame. I actually quite laughed at that book. I honestly I was like, I've laughed at it, I didn't laugh with it. Yeah, it was like left a bit, right a bit, swing, 12 o'clock, five o'clock. And are you interested in it? You laughed because it's it's ridiculous, yeah. And you point fun at it rather than it makes you laugh.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Are you interested in some of the other names for this film in other countries? Blind, deaf, and insane is in Mexico. Spain got don't yell at me, I can't see you. Denmark had, are you hearing what I'm seeing? Italy went with non guadami non ticento.

SPEAKER_00

You know a bit of that. Don't look at me, I can't feel you. I can't hear you. I can't hear you.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, don't look at me, I can't hear you. I don't think any of those are an improvement on see no evil, hear no evil. No. Really?

SPEAKER_00

I think all of them are better.

SPEAKER_01

Based on what because you didn't see it, Chris. Yeah, exactly. Are you gonna rush out and watch it after our chat?

SPEAKER_00

No, not really. No, don't blame me. Um especially with the the length of the film.

SPEAKER_02

One hour thirty seconds.

SPEAKER_00

Like it's not a long film. But it doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Because it's not really Yeah, I I kinda get it. I it's now that you say it, I'm pretty sure because I and I obviously I had a look on the internet, I'm pretty sure I've seen this. And there's a few things that what from what you said that the the gags and stuff that I've I'm pretty sure I've seen it. It hasn't really made a lasting memory on me. And it's also one of those films that I think for the time, and and I would have seen it, I think, later than you guys would have seen it. If it's in 89.

SPEAKER_02

You'd have seen it in '95.

SPEAKER_00

Probably later than that, really. So so that's kind of where, and and I probably didn't really understand all the gags, if I'm being honest. Because it's all it's quite nuanced. So I I yeah. Strong recommend though. Strong. Strong.
