Overboard & Horrid Henry

Overboard

Reegs:

Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review, the podcast where we review the TV our kids make us watch and the films we watch to escape them. Joining me today are three men who've given up on their dreams and settled for mediocrity, starting with Dan, whose words speak for themselves.

They say I'm shit. And who isn't so much old as he has a lot of experience, unfortunately it's all in his prostate.

We also have the

beautiful Chris. from Romania, a country famous, for

its vampires,

werewolves, and gypsies. And whilst

he is none of these

things, he does, of course, suck, bite,

and as we found out

last week, steal.

Cris: Yes, that's true.

Reegs: There's also Sidey, the man who has a passion for great cinema and a disdain for reality. Sidey branching out from Bad Dad's, of course, to launch your new podcast, solely concerned with discussing the best ways to hang your laundry out to dry. So please join in for I Pegged to Differ launching soon on all good platforms.

This week we're gonna start with a look at the top five golf scenes, and whether you think golf is a great game combining power, skill, technique and strategy, or you think the only reason anyone watches it is

to see

someone get hit by a stray ball or be attacked by an enraged swan, we're sure to have you covered. After that we'll be seeing whether Chris's partner Kira has better taste in movies than she does in men. as She asked us to watch a heartwarming tale of love, deception, traumatic brain injuries, gaslighting and exploitation. In classic 1987 Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell comedy Overboard. Before we finish things up with a look at a story about a charming sociopath who torments his family,

friends, and teachers

with his pranks, tantrums and lies in children's show Horrid Henry.

A show which was so bad, Dan actually punched himself in the face earlier, so he wouldn't have to finish watching it.

Now do be warned, this podcast contains explicit language and spoilers, so if you're easily offended or you don't want to ruin the plot of Horrid Henry you might want to switch off now.

Otherwise sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Dan: You're with us. Yeah. Golfing.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: Bit of a theme this week. Where did that come from? It was just a

Reegs: cause of in the movie she is help helps him fulfill a dream of making a mini golf course.

Dan: Ah, okay. Right, yeah. We've got that connection then.

Well, you play golf, don't you, Side?

Sidey: Sure do.

Dan: Chris, you don't.

do you

Cris: I'm

fucking amazing.

Dan: Well, okay. Right. Right. Okay.

Cris: I've played twice in my life.

there. So, I'm,

I'm,

I'm

Dan: You're up there. And Reeks, I don't know anything about your golf game to be honest.

Reegs: I, Well, I played on the subcontinent, Dan.

I played in

Dan: Okay, right, there you go. That

Reegs: first time I played in like 47 degrees heat.

Sidey: Oof, that's the way to do it.

Dan: yeah. You wanna be challenged, don't you, don't you? It's not, it's not tough enough on

Sidey: you're a keen golfer, don't you

Dan: I, oh, I'm, I'm keen more than I'm good. Yeah.

Sidey: That's

most

people's

Cris: played with you, so you're not that good.

Dan: Yeah, no, I mean, I'm, I'm not, I'm okay. Not

Sidey: He isn't that good. you're right.

Dan: Definitely,

not.

Sidey: None of us here are

Dan: I've hardly got any hole in ones, maybe 2025.

Sidey: the same

round, yeah,

well done.

Cris: okay. Yeah. So Average,

Dan: so,

so pretty bang average. But I was quite excited to get in this topic because I've watched quite a few

Sidey: I was remiss of me, but I didn't put this out. to our beloved listeners.

So we don't have any contributions today. but we

Reegs: There might be people who golf

Sidey: we will

for

Dan: of a slice, isn't it? Yeah.

Sidey: that is but we did have

Reegs: Do you, do you just golf? Or do you like, play golf?

Sidey: You play golf.

Reegs: Play golf. You don't, do you golf? Do you want to

golf with

Sidey: I've got a quote of that.

Reegs: We

Sidey: we had a top five on the go a little while back, which was about

lunch.

And we have another contribution from Darren Lethley, which was the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's right at the start, when Ford takes Arthur to the pub.

Reegs: He buys a load of beers, doesn't he, and a load of shots.

Dan: through a bit of a pub lunch

Sidey: he calls it a multimedia lunch because it's in the radio, novel, TV and film version.

Reegs: Oh, that's,

Sidey: so it's ticking like

every box

Reegs: yeah. a lot

Dan: of lunches, yeah? Okay. So

Sidey: I think that's got to go. in

Dan: to go. I, I can't disagree

Sidey: did you watch anything exciting this week dan, I don't think I watched a single thing other than

Dan: than that. I've been getting into, I did actually, I watched that post office scandal.

Reegs: Mr. Bates

Dan: first. Mr. Bates first. I watched

Reegs: watched the first three of them, I haven't seen the last one

Dan: one yet. And well it's

Sidey: is it toby jones?

Dan: yeah, it's all in the press at the moment, it's an ITV thing.

Sidey: I did watch Ian Hislop tear strips off an

Dan: an MP. Yeah, yeah.

Reegs: I remember the story when it came out, and

but, this

Dan: Like panorama.

Reegs: absolute outrage of it all.

Dan: Well, I mean, within a week, you talk about, you know, making art to make things happen. Well within a week the Prime Minister's talking about creating a new law to get yeah Yeah, but it's happened sort of within a week of

Sidey: But

haven't people yeah

Reegs: back and

Dan: Yeah, yeah

Sidey: But haven't people killed themselves over

Reegs: Yeah, Well, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

Dan: the postmasters the sub postmasters have been accused of you know theft in and a false accounting and

everything

Reegs: forced to, like, put their savings in for a computer error, effectively, or production environments being allowed to be tampered with, with the post office themselves.

Like, it's just absolutely ,

Dan: but it all sounds willful. You know, because they, they didn't, it wasn't just like an honest mistake or they really thought it, they knew it wasn't working anymore, and yet they was still aggressively going after these subpostmasters and being that it's owned by the government.

You know, there's only one shareholder, the post office, the government, and it went right up to Tony Blair, who signed it off. And I think it was only Harriet Harman at the time, who had said, one of the, the Home Secretary had said, yeah, that's he said, look, this looks like it's gonna, we're gonna regret this.

There's gonna be mistakes down the line, but they still, everybody else has just. Kind of gone along with it. And yeah, it's it's crazy, but I thought brilliant by toby jones who Has been in loads of great stuff that that we've seen but he's got that story across so he's yeah Watch that this week also watched.

A little bit of luther

Sidey: Oh yeah, he's still on

Dan: i'd never seen. Until very recently. So we're just at the end of the first series now and it's been good.

Cris: I've watched that thing with Michelle Keegan. It's a

Sidey: Fool Me

Cris: Fool Me Once, yeah. I thought it was good.

Sidey: May or may not

feature in my top five.

Cris: It was something that I watched with Keira and it was, for her, it's rarely that she gets Into series, let alone into a movie, let alone a series.

So, that was actually quite good. And she's a pretty lady, so it's good to look at her, this Michelle Keegan. So, it was a win, really. And it's only 8 episodes. They're 40 minutes each, so it's quite a short and quick

Sidey: eight times four. Quick maths,

math, I'm trying to work out the total runtime.

Cris: 20 minutes? Or 60 minutes?

Reegs: Well,

that'd be 4 hours wouldn't it?

Cris: Alright, no, sorry, 3,

Sidey: sorry,

320 minutes,

Cris: Yeah, 320 minutes. Yeah. Anyway, whatever. I'm not I barely went to school as you can clearly tell. But I watched that. And as I said to you, yes, this morning, I've watched the last night with Kira's dad,

Sidey: dad. the

Space

Cris: odyssey, 2001.

Sidey: Yeah.

You haven't seen

the previous 2000 ones though.

Cris: What does he

Sidey: I'm joking

Dan: no.

Cris: Oh.

Sidey: but it's the 2001st

film in that series.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: Yeah.

Space Odyssey, Space Odyssey 1 was The original, but you watch 2001, so there's 2000 to go. Okay. It's great when you, you have to push those, those

Sidey: But you weren't, you weren't super into it, were you?

Cris: I wasn't impressed, no. It was unnecessarily long.

Sidey: I did like the

recreation of the noise this

morning when

Reegs: which bit what

Cris: and I set aside. It's actually quite funny because cares that he's a really nice guy. And I knew when he told me about this, that he you never watched

Sidey: He was excited, wasn't

Cris: He was so excited and whatever. And then He, he has a hearing problem.

So the, our TV only goes to 110 and we watched this movie at a hundred volume. So honestly, it was, it sounded like there's

Sidey: like I suppose your neighbors went banging on the wall.

Shut up.

Cris: because it goes from really high pitch to nothing, or when he went

Sidey: You get Dave in

the

Cris: the breathing in the thing, and it's so slow, I honestly, I thought I was going to, I'm going to wake up with cold sweats in the night thinking there's going to be someone next to the bedroom, but yeah, it was.

Interesting, let's say, but not necessarily for me. And I watched something else, but I will remember in a second

Reegs: Ah, the postman thing.

Okay. Yeah.

Sidey: I do watch a

lot of golf content

on YouTube. There's this channel I like called Golf

Life. Okay.

Which I watch religiously.

Dan: with Tubes?

Sidey: one with Tubes? Tubes and Jimmy Bullard. And this week They had on a, like a PGA,

well, a European Tour Pro, Ross Fisher.

Dan: Right, okay.

Sidey: a course record. Yeah, that was really good.

And it's topical for

this week.

So, There we go. Should

we crack on with the top five?

Cris: There

Dan: Let's do that.

Sidey: Top five,

golf.

Reegs: Yep.

Cris: It didn't specify golf, just the

Reegs: Well,

because I didn't want to limit

people.

Dan: We didn't think we had to. Yeah. Who wants

Sidey: Yeah. So who wants to go first? Who wants to

tee

Cris: wants to go first? Who wants tee off? Nice, nice. And am I allowed a documentary?

Sidey: of course.

Cris: Yeah. Okay. There's a documentary that I've seen and if you haven't seen it, please watch it because it's freaky and it's, I've never seen or heard anything like it.

And it's about John McCarthy,

Sidey: Have you seen

Cris: seen

the

Reegs: No,

but I've read about him.

Cris: Honestly, it's amazing, especially because it's, it's kind of disgusting, but Also really funny at the same time and also the action or the, I don't know, the thing that happens with this guy, he creates this antivirus, then he kind of spends all his money, moves to Belize, makes belief to this young lady that who is a excellent pharmacist, that they're developing this new drug and a new antivirus software in Belize where he has this sex orgies.

And well, I think orgy is the only way anyway,

Sidey: Hawking there?

Cris: I don't know why he doesn't get mentioned But also while he's having all these orgies he , I think he rapes this young researcher and it's really, really freaky. Honestly, I can't, I can't really tell you what he does, but he's into sca. Filia,

Sidey: Okay, shit.

Cris: yes. Yeah.

that. So he's really into, it's,

Sidey: the scatman.

Cris: yes. John ,

Sidey: Scatman John

Reegs: Scatman John.

Cris: sca and

Dan: It's strange you say that, because we were talking shit earlier. Like literally shit, weren't we? And, and people that had left the shit in a cistern.

Sidey: Yeah, the upper decker.

Dan: the upper decker.

Sidey: That's not really golf related, let's, let's

Cris: No.

but this is, this the Belize is in the Gulf of Honduras, and it's a 56 minutes documentary about this guy.

It's not only about his passion for weird sex, but he apparently also hired someone to kill one of his neighbors. And then he became successful again, and now they can't, because he's got so much money, they can't actually, unless he goes back to Belize, where he paid,

Sidey: Is he still alive?

Cris: apparently,

Dan: I don't know if he died since

Cris: think he lives in

Sidey: I thought he had died, but maybe I'm, maybe he, Possibly he's dead or not. Those are the two outcomes.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: Hmm. Shall we move on?

Cris: Yeah.

Reegs: Well, often, well, I was thinking there there are a lot of movies that are actually about golf as opposed

Sidey: to just

Reegs: scenes that are golf in them. One that is about golf that I like is Happy Gilmore.

But fans of this, anyone?

Dan: Yeah, yeah, no, definitely. I, I, I did. I've watched this more than once and Yeah, it's, it's crazy.

Madcap Adam Sandler.

Reegs: Yeah, he's a nice hockey

player who finds

that his slapshot is better,

more effective in golf. And he, he gets a mentor a one handed Carl Weathers.

Dan: Yeah, it's a, it's a silly old story, but it's

Reegs: lots of funny lines. Yeah. Yeah. So, and that's sort of, that's just a golf movie I would say.

Dan: Yeah, yeah, no, it's a comedy golf movie.

Reegs: Probably the best bit is when he's having a fight with the guy who does Price is right, beats him up on the golf

Dan: Right, he does, he does another one, doesn't he? And he goes, I eat, because there's was it Shooter Mcgabin or something, they have an argument and he goes, I eat shit like you for breakfast.

And he goes, you eat shit for breakfast? And then he's just like, what? No, no, no, that's what I meant. And there's just lots of silly lines like that, Yeah.

Reegs: like,

Sidey: yeah.

Could will Hunting?

Reegs: Yes. Is it golf in that?

Sidey: Yes, he's when

blackboards.

Yeah.

Dan: He goes in a round

Sidey: Mr. Skarsgård gets

hold of him and takes him around various therapists. And in

one particular therapy session, the guy's talking. And Will says to him, Just

because you like to

put from the rough,

as a euphemism

For

being a homosexual, And,

He's outraged by that. The fellow He doesn't like it at all.

So that's

It was needlessly it? Yeah,

he

Reegs: Yeah, he

was trying to needle him on purpose, I would say.

Sidey: on purpose, I would guess. Right. I'm

Dan: Right.

Sidey: making it

Dan: it known.

I watched um, uh, a movie called the, the Phantom of the Open with my Mark Rylance. Probably six months ago. And it's based on a true story of a guy called Morris Flipcroft who was an amateur golfer, like not even a golfer like me and so on. But he was He wrote into the British Open to try and get around there for the thing and they by some Administrative error have have entered him then into the British Open and he's got the lowest you know, he's got the highest score ever and they had to kind of watch him go round and Everybody said he couldn't do it and it was all bullshit.

He go. No. No, I've had a couple of games now I think I'm I'm pretty good. I had one or two games of golf and decided to to You know, go and play in the open because he said, Oh, it's open to any amateur players. He said, Oh, right. Well, I'll have a go then. And yeah, it's it's just a

Reegs: testament to the power of delusion, it

Dan: delusion and perseverance and and delusion.

Yeah.

Cris: Yeah.

I've got a movie called Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And there is a scene where dog. Uses

someone's face as a

yes,

Sidey: Takes a

divot. Yes.

Cris: Yes.

Dan: dubber?

Reegs: In fact, He uses what, and he's hitting golf balls into the other guy's

Cris: the other guy that's hanging upside down. And he says, golf is the best way to spoil a walk. Winston Churchill said that. And then he then proceeds to beat the other, the guy probably to death with the golf club because he tells them where the money and the drugs are.

Reegs: But he'll

get his comeuppance because he'll get his head beaten in by Vinnie Jones. with

Dan: It's always good news when somebody tells you where the money and the drugs are, isn't

Reegs: isn't it?

Cris: Yeah.

So I thought that was Does that It's a golf scene.

Reegs: Yeah, it counts. He

Cris: uses golf balls, he uses a tee, and he uses the golf club, so

Sidey: big time.

Dan: Could make top five.

Reegs: Well, golf is often used as a way to show that your protagonist is some, is unorthodox in some way, especially in the first 2025 minutes of the movie. I've got three of them here where that happens.

The Adams Family, Gomez does it. Swordfish, the terrible

Sidey: Yeah

Reegs: One has him, you know, swinging in an urban setting and of course fight club. As well, do the same. Then you've got the executive executive. Potting a little

Dan: Yeah, yeah. In a cup. Oh yeah,

Reegs: a cup. Giovanni Ribisi does it in two movies.

Dan: It's just really kind of yuppie

Reegs: he does it in lost in translation, doesn't he? Giovanni

Cris: Yes, yeah,

Reegs: a A golf ball in a cup in the hotel room. And he does it in Avatar the Sopranos. Anybody watch the spot? You've seen the Sopranos, Chris? Yes. Yeah,

so It's, Sopranos has a lot of golf, moments in it. In the culmination of the first season when Tony and Junior's rivalry is at their biggest.

He, they have a falling out where he takes the piss out of him for going down on a woman. And it comes out on the golf course. He's singing on his backswing about going south of the border down Mexico.

way.

Sidey: and,

Reegs: and when uncle junior's doctor won't return his calls, Tony and Furio go and visit him on the golf course and sort of intimidate him into taking his calls and Tony has a panic attack on the golf course.

And of course, that's one of the big themes of the Sopranos is Tony dealing with his panic attacks. So a lot of golf course stuff in the Sopranos. Nice.

Sidey: Cool Tin Cup

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: I had this one, yeah

Sidey: He's entered into a tournament And he fucks it in the first

round, and shoots an 83

Dan: Yeah

Sidey: But

then

Dan: It's a bit of a love scene going through the the scene as well, isn't there,

Sidey: yeah, it's Rennie Russo. Yeah She's, I love, really fancy her.

She's, it's a toss up between

Dan: Him and another

Sidey: The other fellow who's a douche and Constance, you know, supposed

to not be.

And

round two, he shoots a course record. I

think we're in a whatever tournament record. is ten under to get back in contention.

Round three. Also a strong round, which puts him right up there going into round

four. and it gets to The culmination I don't think it's the last hole. necessarily but it's right at the end of

Dan: I think it is. I think it's the 18th hole and he's gonna lay up

Sidey: taking a bath and he dunks it in the water.

But instead of laying up

Taking his medicine, he

goes

again, and again, and again.

Dan: He gets to

Sidey: He gets to 12 shots, I think, so completely

blown it, and holds the 12th. And

she decides that she loves

him because he's such a fucking pig headed, belligerent idiot that wouldn't lay up.

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: She

says to him,

well, you know. The other guy's gonna win, but everyone will remember that shot. and you think If he just laid up

he would have been like fucking quits.

in because

Dan: And you needed the money because you're living in a trailer.

But,

Reegs: There's a good quote from that movie, sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not very good at them.

Sidey: And

they both involve holes and balls.

Dan: Yeah. more, more true stories. And more true stories, the greatest game ever played. This was actually opens up on the island of Jersey, this film. And it, it kind of pans in and there's a young Harry Varden who, who goes on to become one of the giants of the early golf game, particularly in, you know, I think he won the.

The Open and he won the US

Sidey: Open.

Dan: Won. Won, yeah. Yeah, he's, he's done a lot. And there was another guy called Ray

Ray Charles, he was a singer and there was another guy called Ray who played,

Sidey: yeah, there was a weird statistic when if you looked at the golf majors by nationality and it was like the US were Miles ahead

then,

England and Scotland.

And then Jersey was

like almost on

the podium because it had eleven. I think for these two

guys it won so many from.

way back when.

and now

Dan: Yeah, so you get the, if you go down the Royal golf course, there's the Harry Vardens statue there?

Sidey: my club. That's

Dan: And, and so, you've also got Shia LaBeouf who's playing as an amateur American who goes on then to have this epic game with Ted Ray.

His name was the other jersey guy who was brilliant and Vardin and the weather comes in and it's got all the ups and downs of a match, but it's based on a true story as well. So, this his name is Wimay, I think George Wimay,

Reegs: World Cup guy?

Dan: World Cup guy. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure. We may a French guy French name anyway, Sheila Booth's character, and he's the amateur.

He's the underdog playing against these giants of the game from Jersey. And He nips it, of course, at the end and and takes the, the U. S. Open and keeps it at home for, for Team America. But the bit I remember as well is Harry Vardin's just, he's played in, oh, it's a gentleman's game. He goes, well done, well played, you know, and just carries on.

There's no evil villain side of it. It's just like a, a case of very gentlemanly and he goes, well played,

Reegs: Good bit of sportsmanship.

Dan: Francis, his name is Francis

Cris: Right. I've got a movie called the 51st state with Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle and some other guys and girls. I can't remember all of them, but

Reegs: Samuel L.

Cris: yes. Samuel L. Jackson's character is.

I

nearly

said Rory McIlroy, it was Elmo McIlroy.

Mick Loaf is in this movie as well,

Sidey: Loaf to you.

Cris: Loaf,

But there's two golf scenes actually. First of all, Samuel L. Jackson's character goes to Liverpool from America and he's a chemist and he carries around a He wears a kilt and he looks Well, because the scar of his skin doesn't really look like a proper Scotsman, but he is dressed in the kilt He has all this and he always carries the golf clubs with him everywhere He goes and there's a scene when they're on a I think it's a skip that is on a barge And he's shooting.

He's kind of hitting golf balls at a boy like a floating thing in the in the sea and then at the end When he claims his ancestor's slave master's castle in Scotland, he plays golf bollock naked

Sidey: Yeah.

Cris: and he just

Sidey: That's

not the dress code at my local club.

Is it not?

Dan: even, even Wheatland.

Sidey: wouldn't be allowed in.

Dan: Probably

Cris: well, that's his property now, so he is a

Sidey: Do what he likes, yeah.

Cris: so he does what he wants on his

Reegs: There's a lot of golf content in that because he beats the shit out of five guys with a golf

Cris: Yes, yeah, in the hotel, and so, a lot of golf content, and it's actually quite a funny movie,

Reegs: Yeah, it's,

Dan: it's a good, it's a good weapon.

Reegs: I think it's Ronnie Yu, wasn't

Dan: at hand.

Reegs: Ronnie Yu

Cris: Mee.

Reegs: Yes. Ooh Simpsons?

Yeah. Dead Putting Society, do you remember that

Sidey: one?

Reegs: Where Bart and which of the Flanders kids is it? Is it, it's Is it Rod, is it? Oh, It says Todd here. They get the, they, there's like a rivalry builds up and they're pushed into it by their parents and eventually don't, they both throw the game and,

Sidey: Yes, yeah, that's it, yeah.

Reegs: yeah.

Where

Sidey: I've got another Simpsons

Reegs: Simpsons one. Oh,

Sidey: It's where Marge and Homer are getting on in the Crazy Golf and they're in one of the, like, Crazy Golf props and they get discovered. There's all the amusing things like the

Reegs: the sale comes past,

Sidey: covers Homer's cock and balls and stuff like that. yeah.

Reegs: Sideways?

That was a great little comedy about middle aged depression and alcoholism and it had

Paul

Dan: had Paul Gillespie.

Sidey: Jack's dishing out a load of advice while he's

Dan: yeah, All down at the, the

Reegs: Yeah, he's talking on his backswing, which is really fucking annoying, and

then

the guys sort of play through, don't they, and they hit balls at him, so he turns around and fucking whacks it back at him, which at the time I think was probably quite new, but now it just basically happens every round, doesn't it, pretty much, on the go, of course.

And Jackass had Joh Joh did you have this one?

Sidey: I I didn't write it down, but I was reading about it, today,

Reegs: Johnny Knoxville I think it was in the original movie, like, blowing an air horn. On the guy's backswing, and him doing that sideways trick, like, hitting

Sidey: hitting balls towards him. It's so childish but it's so funny.

Reegs: Good, Very funny.

Sidey: Me? Yeah.

I've got a whole, like, slew of kind of interconnected via Actors one. You mentioned Lost in Translation, but there is a scene where Bill

Murray

goes out to play golf. there's all the, sort of crazy zaniness of being in Tokyo, but he goes out to play golf somewhere at some posh club.

Reegs: you see him hit a drive? I

Sidey: you

see him take one practice swing, and then he hits a drive, and it's just him. It's sort of

completely silent. I think you can maybe hear a bit of bird noise in the background. And Mount Fuji is just there. Right in front of him. It looks really great. And then he, of course, crops up in

Zombieland as a cameo

of himself and might even be his own house.

And he's not zombified, but he just disguises himself as a zombie. so he can go out and about and

still get a round of golf here.

Dan: That's it.

Sidey: And

then

he is also in Space Jam. He's playing a round of golf with Michael Jordan.

And Larry

Bird.

And

it's where it all kicks off.

They get sucked down the

Reegs: Caddyshack. I've

Dan: Well, he is a Caddy Shack,

Reegs: Caddyshack,

Sidey: Bill Murray going? is

it Caddyshack as well? It's Caddyshack you can add to that as well. you know, footage of him playing golf

because he'd gamble at it and he could take a few dollars off someone else.

which

he was obsessed with. So that.

Dan: Yeah, and leading into that real life story is the, the reason I started even enjoying golf actually, which was the Ryder Cup 2012. And there was a massive kind of upset in the way that that game went because the Americans were so far up in the Ryder Cup and it's called the Miracle Medina, which was the Medina in Illinois.

In the golf course there and Europe came back to win 14 and a half points to 13 and a half which you probably won't understand if you don't understand golf But those that do are going wow. I remember that there's only is is yeah two half points

And they, they've managed to, to come back into, into it with some of the most amazing golf and just clutch moments you've ever seen.

Sidey: Justin Rose's match against Mirko Senna is beyond belief.

Dan: it's unbelievable,

He's got a putt that is,

Sidey: is He's off the green at the back of 17th.

Dan: It's unbelievable. It was so many shots. If you miss it, you're out. It's done. It's over. And they kept on making and we kept on making that all these clutch shots. And you had of course, the the postman always delivers pulse yet.

Sidey: It was er who hold the put to level it and then Woods actually fucked it

And

Dan: and that was, it

Sidey: Molinari got the

Dan: it was, so it was a massive upset going into the last day. There had no chance, but then turned it all around. And that got me into golf really. And you can watch it back. Now I think it's like a, an hour or two hour documentary on that, that particular tournament. And its, yeah, top golf content

Cris: I've got one more movie, which is a rock and roller and Tom Wilkinson's is a Tom Wilkinson

Sidey: Tom

Cris: He's character gets beat up by the Russians on the golf course and the guy says to him This is the 18th hole you got until tomorrow morning to get me my painting or something like that And he gets beaten up by the Russian and also I've got a music video by P.

Diddy, also known as Puff Daddy, and it's a part where he plays, it's Perfect Town, U. S. A. The black guys are moving in, and P. Diddy plays golf from his balcony and shoots a golf ball through Ben Stiller's window. And Ben Stiller rings the bell and says,

Reegs: yeah,

Cris: Diddy, Daddy, Daddy Diddy, whatever you call yourself these days.

Welcome, I bet you're a nice guy, but this? Golf ball through the window? It's not gonna fly around here and he just leaves. So I thought it was quite an unusual partnership between Ben Stiller and P Diddy who allegedly shot and killed someone.

Reegs: it's

good Job, We had allegedly.

Dan: it would've been done. Listen to this suing Have

you got any more?

Cris: all I've got

Reegs: got

Yeah, I've

got a couple

more.

What have I got? In the opening scene for the highest grossing film of 1998, Michael Bay makes it very clear what he thinks of Greenpeace by having Bruce Willis. twat golf balls at them off his own oil rig. And then Enter the Dragon, you might not think, a really great martial arts movie.

Yeah, we'd have John Saxon he's a gambling addict and he's playing on the course. And I think three guys jump him from the bushes whilst he's playing around and he dispatches them with kicks.

Sidey: They want their money. They do. Yeah.

Reegs: And

they got beaten the fuck up, and in Falling Down, we watched that for the pod, and that's got a whole scene with ranting about them taking up space that should be afforded to kids and the elderly or whatever, and not just a bunch of rich assholes.

I think he fires a submachine gun at them,

Sidey: Now you're gonna die wearing that stupid little hat?

Reegs: hat. Yeah! yeah.

Sidey: what he says

to them.

Reegs: it's a good line.

And Die Hard 2, Die Harder. That was Rennie Harlin's 1998 sequel to, I forget which movie, and that's John Maclean using a golf club, right in the beginning of the movie, batter some terrorist, slash, what was it, was it terrorists in that one, or was it people trying to get money, was it

Sidey: They were Kind of, militia for hire kind of thing. Yeah. To get some guy, drug dealer.

Reegs: was

always about money, wasn't it?

Sidey: Any more?

Reegs: No. Oh, I've got one, but I'm saving it for yeah.

Sidey: Yeah. Ulrich Goldfinger. He was the villain in the film I forget the title of. He's already been caught cheating at cards, and then he goes one worse and cheats at golf against James Bond.

And

James Bond catches him by

standing on his ball,

Does that.

swingers? John Favreau

and Ron

Livingston play at the local pitch and putt thing.

and they're completely

Reegs: That's how I would play golf. That's how

Sidey: It's fun

Reegs: golf. Nobody really keeping score. Just fucking

Sidey: He just hits

a putt and it goes not even halfway And he goes,

get there.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: I love that

Donnie, Donnie Darko. Patrick

Swayze, the

pedo.

Reegs: Oh yeah.

Sidey: so this is what you

said before. Do you say golf?

We'd

say Play golf. He,

in it, he's like a real

nerd. But it's also, as you come to learn, a

pedophile, He says, let's golf. And so we, like.

took that phrase for like, let's, you

know, if you're going to let's do something, It would just be like, let's golf.

You can leave the house, right, let's

go off. We used to say that all

the time.

And then the Volkswagen Golf Mark eight appears in for Me Once. The Golf Mark seven also

appears in

for Me Once.

and so does

the Golf Mark four And the Mark five that has an appearance

in the

Born Ultimatum.

The

Mark one Cabrio that's in

the 1980s classic license to drive.

Yeah. Remember that

one? Yeah,

Reegs: we, that was

Dan: Courtney Haim,

Reegs: Hay

Sidey: of the

Dan: Corey Haim, or Corey Fieldman?

Sidey: There's a Golf GTI and Pitch Perfect too

Reegs: Right.

Sidey: And

a Golf Plus, which I think is like a special edition GTI,

that's an Extraction too.

which I think everyone liked

anything

else? No, I think I'm out.

Reegs: That's pretty good stuff.

Are we going to choose our favourite Golfs, or have you got more Golf

Dan: going to say the legend of Bag of Vance which I never really enjoyed that much but I know it's one that people Will Smith, um and, and

Sidey: Chriss Chris has canceled him so

Dan: Jack Lemmon's last role as well, the

Sidey: Well, ways it go

Dan: him off Yeah.

There was the story of SE as well.

Sidey: yeah. it put it, I'd just rather just watch a documentary about him rather than dramatization.

Dan: It, it was

Sidey: no one's gonna

Dan: daytime tv.

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: Kind of show, you know. And I watched another one about the beginnings of golf and how golf had kind of, gone from, the the early part of the game and become more professional But I can't quite remember who was in that a lot about it, but i've watched it.

You don't you see that?

Reegs: thought of something else I tell you what. I did watch today though the longest ever televised putt. I forget the

Sidey: the guy's

Reegs: feet. It was

Sidey: it not Wogan?

I don't remember his name.

Dan: It's someone that isn't normally a professional

Reegs: quite old, the footage.

It's Wogan.

Get that,

Terry Wogan, fuck off,

It's not

Dan: somebody, yeah, it's someone like outrageous, and there,

Sidey: It's a, it was a pro Ami thing, yeah. I'm sure it's Wogan.

Reegs: was quite good. It's ridiculous, the camera goes for about 20 seconds

following this ball.

It's

Dan: while we're in the door. Greg Norman did a brilliant one as well, where he was on a charity thing. I think it was Greg Norman. Anyway, he'd gone over there and there. They're saying, look, I can't do it in this amateur, and he goes, and he's sort of, just gone over there, hit it once, gone in,

Sidey: I think I know the one you mean, and it's Jack Nicklaus.

That's

Dan: that's what I said. Yeah.

Sidey: I said. Right,

let's see who

makes the cut.

Chris,

who are you putting in,

Cris: Elmo McElroy, 51st State.

Sidey: Okay.

Rhys?

Reegs: I'm putting in casino. He's got the scene of when Joe Pei's playing golf and the feds have been trailing in for so long that their plane runs out fuel and crashes on the golf course.

Based on a real event. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Dan: I'm putting

Sidey: Right Charles again, I'm putting in swingers. pitch and putt and We'll

see what we get from audience.

Dan: So

much scum.

Sidey: There's a lot

of scum here

Reegs: here tonight. It's a hive of scum and

Dan: It's a scum fest.

Cris: Yeah.

Sidey: I received a parcel in the mail.

And I was baffled by it because I wasn't expecting anything. And It said on it, sweets, you know, on the declaration y sticker thing.

I opened it, and it was a gift. It was a gift from Sweden.

It's Swedish confectionery.

which Brigitte sent us.

I won't read out.

the whole

postcard.

Cris: Well you can do, it's quite nice,

Sidey: we're just happy, Happy

2024, wishing you all an amazing year ahead. Hope the package reaches you this time.

Because previously,

Breach had tried to send us some booze.

Reegs: Oh right,

Sidey: got, it got rejected.

Dan: Oh no! I think a bit, or something

Sidey: or something like that maybe.

Dan: Oh, that would have been an

Cris: that would have been welcomed. Yeah.

Dan: it, a welcome gesture still.

Sidey: Yeah so enjoy the Swedish sweets and chocolate. Thank you for keeping me company over the years, So That was

Dan: Oh, amazing!

Sidey: And so

I've had to have this stuff at home in my cupboard and not eat it.

And I really am, like, a sucker for

a sweet tooth. it's very difficult. but We're probably going to hear a little bit of rustling of packages in the background now while we describe all of these, because they do merit description.

Reegs: Yes. Let,

Dan: Let me hold up a bag of this is Tom Tiscalo. This is this is scum.

And it's brown scum. And we've also got white. With a bit of pink on it scum

Sidey: So

scum means they're, they're like chewy

Foam.

Foam. I think the literal translation is foam

and

they're, I would say a faux, a firmer texture Sweet than you would get

Reegs: Yes,

Dan: I don't know if this is a

Cris: they're similar to the Percy Pigs.

No,

Dan: It's like a Percy

Reegs: It's like a Percy Pig mixed with a condom.

Sidey: condom.

Dan: Yeah, it's it's it's got

Reegs: there's more chew rubbery to it. I'm

Sidey: then, We've got a bag of sours, which look, you know, it's a proper bag of Haribo, it's Just not a variety that we get over here.

They're scum, sour.

Reegs: These are scum sour.

Sidey: But they are, whilst they are

a sugary treat, they're

not as sour as I was hoping.

for.

Reegs: How do you feel about these side these are the toti scum.

Sidey: They're really

good.

They are nice. They are scum

in chocolate,

Cris: And they're also big. It's a big, it's a

Sidey: Hang on, you've just

Dan: Hang on,

Sidey: You've skirted over

Reegs: Sorry, sorry, I'm just I'm getting the next

Sidey: a lot of these are festive, festive themes. So these look like Santa and elves. Like,

Dan: And that's scum, yeah, scum kind of dipped in chocolate,

Sidey: Yeah, they were

they were a triumph, I'd say. They were really, really

Reegs: did. And then another festive one, Yule Scum.

Cris: Not a fan.

Sidey: So

those are like a flump, but

much firmer.

Dan: that the pink ones? Yeah. I was thinking they're up there with my favourite

Sidey: Yeah, I mean, I haven't had any

that I

didn't like. They're all great.

Dan: really chewy, that

Sidey: Then we've got some chocolate orange discs, which are, I would

say,

Cris: nobles, they're good

Sidey: knobless,

Reegs: nobles, apples in crisps.

Sidey: Sort of like, I would

say the equivalent to a matchmaker but in disc

form.

Dan: And orange,

Sidey: Dan didn't like

Dan: No, I'm not a massive orange chocolate fan, but I did like the consistency and crunch.

Sidey: They were triumph. And then there's banana and caramel

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: And you liked the Dumle, didn't you? The Dumle

Cris: The, The

fudge. I would say the, the classic, the original is my favorite.

Sidey: That's

Reegs: original mli. Yeah. It's

Sidey: It's A toffefe.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: And, and so you can.

Sidey: I mean, we've got an

absolute shitload. We've got, I don't think we'll finish

Dan: them. Even the

Cris: I'm gonna get, if I don't get sick on my way home, it will be a miracle after all this.

Dan: Yeah.

Cris: Honestly, I've eaten so many of

Dan: So much. There's only so much scum you can eat.

Or should eat, really. It's the dum ly that's done you, though.

Sidey: Yeah, and that segues

just so well into this

week's main feature.

Dan: go overboard with it. Is the

Sidey: Because

we watched the 1987 Classic. Yeah. Overboard.

Dan: That's right. I was probably last watching this in the 80s or maybe early 90s. It's been a while since I,

Sidey: I've

I, I've never seen this till

Dan: never seen it? No. Oh,

Reegs: seen this

Cris: Yeah. I've definitely seen it before.

Sidey: It's a Gert Gert

Muller.

Cris: Ha ha, Der

Sidey: Gert Russell and Goldie

Cris: Were they actually a couple back then as well? Were they? Okay.

Sidey: yeah.

Reegs: Yeah.

And they have more chemistry than a meth lab in this, don't they? That is the one,

the movie's one redeeming feature, really.

Dan: Yeah, there's a lot of chemistry between them.

Sidey: Well, it starts off

with,

her, Well, it has Some

Reegs: it's boat

Sidey: voiceover on a massive, like,

not

a yacht,

is it? It's a ship. It's fucking huge. like an Abramovich style. superyacht.

And

Reegs: he's doing skeet shooting off the back of it, and he's firing towards a bridge with cars, like going across in the background.

Sidey: Well, later on

in the movie,

he's lost it. Yeah. I, I'd say he'd already lost it at this point.

He seemed insane now. Yeah. So, yeah, he's doing that and she's just being a megabit

Dan: She's on a

Cris: Yeah.

The,

the, they are a couple that have money and they're on a big yacht and they, she, she, they, they're changing something at the engines and she wants her wardrobes re

Sidey: It's a, it's a crisis though. She's

Reegs: demanding.

she's mean to staff, she's pretentious.

She's snobbish, she's idle. She shut, you know, sharp to everybody all the time. We get all of this in several sort of character establishing scenes. And yeah, she's just rude to anybody who she doesn't consider to be her like equal or,

Dan: and she's even a little bit rude to them. Really

Reegs: It doesn't have an

Dan: a very

Sidey: So, so They have to dock. They

do some extreme docking

in,

U, no, what's the town called?

U's

Reegs: Elksnout. Elksnout.

Sidey: snout. And

it's the

utmost urgency That they get. a carpenter on board to fix her wardrobe situation.

And so Kurt Russell

Reegs: Yeah, well he's introduced Reving a chainsaw in his sleeveless t-shirt and dungaree combo looking fucking super hot.

And Yeah. he goes off to the, the boat to go and try and meet this demanding woman's

Sidey: obviously

jeans. he's got denim with his tool belt, and then a sort

of thin vest kind of

thing going on, which he stands

and does this weird

pose, and

the first time he does it, I thought that's a weird way for someone to stand, but it becomes a thing

later on.

Dan: Oh, where he kind of,

Reegs: yeah, he

Dan: of

Cris: together, yeah. He's

Dan: pinches in his sleeves to show off his

Reegs: his his,

Sidey: So he, he comes up with this ingenious solution for her wardrobe.

Dan: Which is fucking brilliant. It's on a wheel, it spins out, they go back in, another come from

Sidey: her shoe closet that It rotates to so that she can have, it's like a double depth

Reegs: Mmm. It

was TARDIS esque, the amount of space it was able to generate, wasn't it?

Sidey: Yeah, But She's pissed

off.

because

He's done it out of not Cedar, and everyone knows that

would have

Dan: Which was really bad on his part,

Cris: Which, yeah, you should know.

Sidey: but there's been

Reegs: their relationship straight away

or what,

Sidey: There's been the movie highlight though. where she walks past him in a thong swimsuit.

It's

so gratuitous.

Dan: I had to stop and reverse this bit and even pause it to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing, but I was, it was Goldie

Sidey: Because A lot of the time she's walking

around in

a

gown with a swimsuit and, but they're very

like tightly cut and high, you

know, high waisted. It doesn't leave,

it's like, quite daring,

Dan: it doesn't need, it's like quite daring.

Obvious, and

Reegs: Except that the chemistry is mainly, mainly just kind of unbearable bickering. That is how their relationship

Sidey: There

is, we do have at the start An incredible

Dan: What's yours like?

Sidey: Kind of ukulele with then,

Reegs: With some 80s

Sidey: some some 80s slap bass over the

top and it's really weird.

Reegs: Yeah, it was amazing.

Sidey: plays throughout. Yeah,

Reegs: And a bit of synth y type thing as well. Yeah, It really, it does play throughout and it's

Dan: throughout. So, so this this disaster of the closet

Sidey: She refuses to

Dan: ends

Reegs: stiffs him on the

Dan: Yeah, she shifts them on Bill,

Reegs: pushes him off a She

Dan: them off the boat, And throws his tool belt and his tools over board to do his livelihood as well. Yeah and they sail off.

Reegs: Yeah,

Sidey: they do indeed. there. she's watching,

I mean it's palatial this thing. Although it's decked out in the

most awful

decor, but it's Like

it is insane

the size of it.

that

Reegs: yacht, and they're watching a documentary about super yachts.

Sidey: he wants to know who's in

the top

ten. Yeah and she realized that, She's left her wedding ring on deck,

And in the most scarcely believable bit of the film, she's actually the one who's going to go and try and retrieve it, where you

Reegs: to go and try and retrieve

Sidey: that right? That's right, yeah, he's like, fuck off, I'm watching this. So she goes to do it

herself in some sort of

heel type thing,

And she's leaning over the back of her couch to try and retrieve the ring, and falls in. Yeah. It's probably all of, like,

five to 10 foot.

Drop.

Yeah. Yeah.

Which causes

you know, retrograde

Dan: Yeah. Yeah. She's say

Cris: the late eighties, early nineties, amnesia was so common in movies, like any, anything that had to do, they needed a plot twist or they needed something.

Reegs: Yeah, it's lazy. You're right.

Cris: So that, that time was, that was the, the, the whole thing that ever happened. So

Dan: was loads, I can't remember any of them.

Reegs: Well, there is no movie without her having to have a new identity.

Sidey: But it happens

at night.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: You know

out in

the ocean. Yeah I think the problem would be that she would drown not that she

would

Lose her memory.

But this

bit of the plot is a lot like the Bourne identity because he's also

found

Reegs: on a yacht.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah,

Dan: it's happened. This

Sidey: So she's retrieved And taken back to terra firma to

hospital

but like you

Cris: By the Portuguese bin man.

Sidey: whose accent was amazing

but she has no

idea.

who she is or where she's come from, blah, blah, blah,

blah.

Reegs: And there's immediately a sort of media thing basically.

She's on telly being talked about the woman with no.

memory and oh, so sloppily made. The husband reveals to the ship crew over a shot of the boat, like, driving out like, via voiceover, that, oh, let's fuck her off.

Cris: Let's celebrate.

Dan: Yeah, they, they, they all don't like her.

Single Yeah.

They all don't like her and Kurt Russell comes to claim

Sidey: Well, it's the first, it's the first instance

of men being fucking appalling to her,

Because, she does, although she's initially portrayed as being like a mega bitch, total scumbag, she then has a pretty rough trot of

Cris: yeah.

But also even with amnesia, she still behaves like a bitch because they put it in a psychiatric ward. where it's like fenced off and she, they kind of want to get rid of her in the hospital because she's such a bitch to

Reegs: for everyone. Yeah. They're

like, they're they're literally

Standing there like, thank God somebody's come to claim her. when Kurt Russell eventually does. But we've gone a bit quick because the movie does vary. Quickly skirt through the idea. He is in a bar with his mate, isn't he Yes. and he's

like I know what's a really good idea I'm gonna gaslight her into thinking she was is my wife so she works off her debt.

Yeah

Dan: Yeah, well, she owes him about 600 and he isn't a rich man. So

Reegs: you're saying this almost like you're defending him

Dan: yeah, no for the plot i'm defending it. Otherwise,

Sidey: defending it. I'm defending it. It is

Reegs: It is a pigsty,

with one of those amazing wardrobes in it, in it though. Everything's,

Sidey: the whole thing should be immaculate.

Cris: macros. They also have a, the, the window that opens upstairs.

Dan: He's got four boys running amok there.

Reegs: Yeah, his wife

Dan: Dead. He killed her. He killed her. He's

Reegs: He's got four kids, and it's just, he's friends with them, but not parenting them.

And so

Dan: Yeah, there're a handful and he

Sidey: yeah, they're a handful and he hasn't really thought about it. Well, he

Reegs: going to

Sidey: yeah. It's funny because they tell

Reegs: happen? he, doesn't

Sidey: funny though, For a long time, he just strings her along

and is like appallingly

Reegs: appallingly

Sidey: Do all the cleaning.

Dan: even

after a month is gone, which at one point he tries to work out with his mates, how long do you reckon they're gonna work, you know, she's gonna have to be there.

And he goes, oh, you know, about a month. It's like two months at least before,

Sidey: Well, he tells her She used to be fat. And and

Cris: her dad

Reegs: And a slut. Like, he's like, oh, you did me in the parking lot on the first

Sidey: on the first date or whatever. her. Then it like when they've been getting on a bit better when it comes, when he

starts being nice to her, he buys her a gift.

with

A fucking

washing machine.

Reegs: Yeah, yeah, And one of the kids, is like, she's got not much

tits, but what a great ass or something.

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: the kid says.

Sidey: We've,

Reegs: supposed

to, be her son. We've, we've zipped Through about an

Sidey: hour and it's just like, it's just, that's just, what happens, isn't it? Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. It's loads of like

Cris: And through all this, she has either in her dreams or when she looks at him, she has a few flashbacks.

So when he does the, the tank top thing, showing her nipple, her, his nipples, she kind of sees the wardrobe spinning and all

Sidey: like, hang on, yeah. She

Cris: sees herself in that on a stage singing and. The reception was really wealthy people and certain things, but she, she also thinks that she's dreaming because she wakes up to hell on earth.

And

Reegs: It's the water dripping on the

piano, isn't

Cris: And it's also, she in the end creates a relationship with the kids, not just,

Sidey: so she identifies that the kids, I mean, it's very obvious that there's no

parental guidance at

Reegs: loads of

Sidey: One of The kids can't read.

Yeah. So she starts

to bond with the

children.

And

Reegs: And one of them talks like Pee Wee Herman the whole movie.

Yeah, it's So irritating.

Sidey: So the kids and her

have this kind of codependent relationship.

She's a really good

influence on them and starts to

Reegs: be

Well, she starts to fall for him explicitly after when she goes to confront the teacher about the kids being shit at school and finds out that they've got poison oak or poison

Dan: yeah,

that, poison oak or

Reegs: And then when she comes home, she's all ill and Jack No, it's not Jack. What's his name?

Cris: Kurt Russell,

Reegs: Kurt Russell. Yeah, it is. Comes, Is it

Sidey: Dean Proffitt.

Reegs: Dean Proffitt. Oh yeah, it's all there in his name. He comes back and he sees the house is nice and tidy and the fridge is full of beer. He's nice to her when she's ill.

That's basically it. Yeah. And that's what makes her fall in

love with him.

Dan: and that's what

Reegs: That was it.

Dan: her fall in love with him.

Reegs: Well That's just after she's helped him fulfill his dreams of becoming a miniature golf course

Sidey: designer slash

Reegs: slash owner.

Sidey: he

Dan: Yeah, he had a dream.

Reegs: because it's the 80s, he's going to the bank like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna just make a miniature golf

Sidey: A shit looking, A shit looking he's

just sketched some things in felt tip on a bit of

Reegs: of paper. And they're like, take our money, fucking take

1. So yeah, he does that. And then, yeah, then she does discover the

Dan: catches him working.

Sidey: night, he's got a second job. Because He

says to her after they have dinner, every night I go, out

to the bar. And she's like, oh, right. But it turns out that's bullshit, he goes out and works.

Yeah. To support the family and the blah, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, later on she's in his van.

I've got a good stat about his van.

She finds

some knickers. Yeah,

knickers.

Reegs: was, If she'd have remembered, she was wearing them at the

Sidey: Well, he's bottle telling her once, he was gonna tell her

It's it's like At some point,

you know, it's the old graphic awake for the moment where it all comes tumbling down.

Reegs: birthday he was going to tell her and he

truth is stranger than fiction,

and so, Trigger

from Friends, he has to,

own the lie.

that he's

Been cheating on his misses. Yeah. And she totally fine with that's how you lad Oh your boys me .

Cris: So

Sidey: she's fine with that. And immediately is like

Dan: it.

Reegs: So just as they are. You know, having this tumultuous bit. Is this when Grant is going to turn up?

Sidey: Well, there's been the thing of her mother keeps phoning.

Yeah. And to me it was obvious. I

dunno

about you guys. Yeah,

That she

Reegs: she was the money. She

Sidey: the money.

Reegs: Yeah, well it was her mother.

Sidey: her mother. It's

all

Reegs: she was calling from a place of luxury.

It was really, obvious.

Sidey: constantly having a portrait done, and they they try to drop it on you at the

Reegs: like, Like it's a reveal. And you're

Dan: It's

Sidey: been explicitly

Reegs: Yeah, you told

us

Cris: was arguing with a Swedish woman. You don't feed dogs like that. Yeah. You put pull them nicely and you don't shove it in their

Dan: their Otherwise that guy

Cris: or whatever.

Dan: doesn't give a shit either way, does

Sidey: he's just been the

The ex-husband. Well, the current husband.

But he's been out at sea, He's just been whoring his way

around.

the ocean,

you know, he's just been constantly partying, oh what a lad. But he realizes that the game's gonna be up if

he doesn't fucking patch this back.

So he, he comes into town, and as soon as she comes back to the house and sees him

there, she immediately remembers everything,

but forgets where

she is.

and then comes back out of the house, like, oh fuck.

Dan: You, you, you made me clean and you made me sort of do this, that and I was thinking, yeah, and he, he

Sidey: you had had sex, they had had sex

Reegs: You told me I was your wife and then tricked me into

Dan: into Having sex and my husband's just there. But no, she, it's she's in love, full Stockholm syndrome by this stage.

Sidey: she's got, Yeah,

I think you're right

Reegs: Well, she goes off, doesn't She She's sort of, you know, doesn't really know what to say. She goes off back to the life of luxury, but she's changed, evidenced by she has a beer. instead of

Sidey: she's nice to the

Reegs: and she's nice She's not

Dan: I, I, I did, I did like the seed just before this on her birthday. So, she, they, they've had this, he's going to tell her, wasn't he on their birthday, but they've got the cup and it's.

One of those kind of, you put 'em together yourself, plastic champagne glasses or flutes in the bottom and she goes, oh, my bottom's come off. And it's like, oh, we put it back. And you just think what a change that is for her from where she had been, like, you know, but she was all, you

Sidey: She's berated the guy earlier about the wrong caviar and

stuff. Yeah,

Reegs: the wrong caviar and stuff. Yeah, exactly. I think it's because the director's son was

Sidey: I think it's because the director's son was in that scene. He was the spotter on the front of the boat.

Dan: spotter at the front of the boat.

And he got to have a

Sidey: And

Reegs: got to have a nice day then. didn't

Sidey: And she

just decides that she doesn't want this. She wants to go back to her fake new life.

Dan: getting on with all the crew now as well. She's doing shots with them rather

Sidey: okay, yeah. Well,

Dan: Right,

okay, yeah. Well he was doing shots with her then maybe, that's how they set it up.

But they seem to be having a lot more fun than

the old,

Sidey: there's a couple of nice bits where she just

turns the ship around, you know, hard to pour or whatever, and the mother just keeps getting flipped out of

the bed I found those bits quite funny.

Reegs: Enjoyed the romantic story about the three toots on the horn, and the story of the two lovers who swept to each other, Arturo and

whatever, yeah. And they do it at the end, yeah.

Dan: Yeah, and they jump into the water. Her in a ball gown, him in his dungarees. And they, they meet in the middle and get of whisked off, don't they? And, and she, she, she asks right at the end.

Reegs: As

the kids are making, the four boys are making a,

Cris: tell you.

Dan: it, they're

Reegs: making a shopping list to spend her money that they now realise they're going to

Sidey: Yes, because she drops this absolute bombshell that it was her money all along. and you're like, well,

yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. but How could a woman have money though? Her own money? Yeah, exactly, that's how she

Sidey: have

Dan: exactly, that's how she could have inherited it.

And

he says, Oh, what can I give you? You've got everything. And he goes, I could have a little girl

Reegs: and

then it

Sidey: I thought she was going to ask for a dishwasher because she's got the

washing

Dan: the washing machine, but she wants a little gal.

So this is

Reegs: So this is a great movie. If you enjoy watching women being humiliated and abused, this is a great movie for it.

Sidey: It's so weird isn't

Dan: isn't it? You

Sidey: so weird to watch it Now,

Dan: a plot like this now. And I bet, you know,

the

Reegs: but They did do it. They redid it in

Sidey: 2018. Yeah, they remade this.

Reegs: but they gender flipped it because it's okay to humiliate and gaslight a man.

Presumably I don't know.

Sidey: It's just

weird because,

you know, in the,

Dan: the ying and the yang back together, isn't it? The

Sidey: would have just watched it and

just thought, it's just a silly little like

throwaway comedy

now you

watch it and you're just like, what?

the

Reegs: like, What

the fuck? Yeah.

Sidey: The

Cris: you're just like, what the fuck, what the fuck? Yeah, but I

Dan: Yeah,

Cris: that helps

Reegs: yeah. But I, that's, I get

Dan: Well, that, that helped, that helped with the chemistry of the film, I mean, you could see that they were brilliant on screen together, they had that chemistry, they got on,

Sidey: I was enjoying like him because he just looks really good and

his, of course, his outfits were funny,

and he's just like some fucking doofus, and she looks great,

and you know

Dan: and they see, there is a chemistry, and you can see that they've It was, you know, it was silly, but it made me,

Sidey: What it does

have,

Right, what it does have is, and this is another one to add to the list, of inanimate objects that appear in multiple different movies, and this is a good one,

this is a

real good one.

So Dean Proffitt, that's Kurt Russell's character, he drives an old Dodge pickup, which was later used Right, so two different movies. first one, in John Carpenter's They Live, it's parked outside the homeless camp,

and Rowdy Roddy Piper walks past it, and it still has Dean Proffitt construction written on it.

Reegs: that's good! That's

good.

Sidey: And then, it's the car that tailgates Chevy Chase, in National Lampoon's

Christmas

Reegs: Oh, nice!

Dan: way!

Sidey: it's two. And, what I

forgot to mention, in the top five, in Goldfinger,

they play golf. The round of golf where he's caught cheating is at Stoke

Park.

And the clubhouse is the building that Daniel Craig who later became James Bond, arrives at to have lunch and meet the crime boss at the start of Layer

Cake.

Cris: Yes,

yeah, that is Stoke Park, yes,

Dan: It's all the same world.

Sidey: So, there you go. But overboards,

yeah.

so that's a double inanimate object that's appeared to add to the list.

Reegs: yeah,

Dan: Did you see the newer version?

Reegs: did not, No.

Sidey: I wouldn't rush out to see it, having seen this.

Because this is probably the superior

version.

Dan: I

think it

Cris: I think this would be the better one than the, I mean if you've seen that this one was the, you know already what's gonna

Dan: Well, they

Reegs: Gary Marshall's got a kind of rescue fantasy thing going on, hasn't he? Because his other movie was Pretty Woman I remember of his, and that is also a take a woman, It's a different situation. It's an inverse of this one, isn't it? Take it

from the lower

Dan: yeah, yeah

Reegs: take her up to the upper echelons or whatever and this is the opposite,

Dan: is the opposite Well, yeah financially but morally different. Yeah. Yeah,

Sidey: Speaking of finances, Dan, do you wanna know

how this performed?

Dan: please how

Cris: must have been a

Sidey: the

budget for this. I

can scarcely believe it, was 22 million

Dan: of it was on

Cris: Half of it was on that yacht.

Sidey: That's what I thought. Yeah. What about the box office take?

they

Dan: hit, they were a hit. I remember watching this at

Sidey: it so therefore it's a hit. Well it made 27

Dan: There you

Sidey: What

is fucking incredible is that in it's Opening weekend it made 1. 9 million dollars.

Then,

On it's second weekend, it made 2. 9 million, and on it's third weekend it made 3. 9 million. So

word of mouth was generated.

Reegs: So it's worth a laugh.

Sidey: But can I shock you?

There's another thing

in it that

appears in another

movie.

Reegs: I know boat.

Sidey: Yeah, The SS immaculata. So this, it was called the Atessa, I think. I know, that's what

it was called.

Cris: was in this

Sidey: It's, it's actually the vest is called the Atessa and it was the boat

that was used in Indecent Proposal.

Dan: Ah,

Reegs: with the money on the bed scene, iconically.

This film is not even worth pirating unless you were going to use it as a torture device.

Sidey: as a talking

Cris: I wouldn't go that far. It was, I dunno, I I didn't see it with my 2024 hat on.

I know when it was made. I, I,

Reegs: No, but the rest of it was just, no, it wasn't. It was just pointless bickering. No,

it

Sidey: pointless

Cris: yeah. But I can disagree with you.

Reegs: No, you can't. No, I'm afraid not

Cris: with you. I actually thought it was quite funny.

Sidey: I had

a good time watching it. If

I could isolate the twangy bass line y thing with the ukulele soundtrack bit, it would go here.

Unless I can't, in which that would just be a

blank. bit

of

Reegs: If it was, then it was really good, because I enjoyed that. This had a Randy Newman song in it as well.

Sidey: did, yeah.

the finale, the closing song

Dan: Oh,

That, it made me laugh actually because it was it started off like different folks of different and you just think nobody's that weird.

It was just like, you know, the song was just talking about the weirdness

Sidey: of,

even like, the typography on the credits is bad.

Dan: yeah, yeah, no, it was obviously a really bizarre message. If there is a message to it in this film, they, they were just trying to make a wacky zany. kind of comedy film, aren't

Sidey: trading on those two relationship. I

Dan: on the relationship of Goldie Hawn and, and Kurt.

Reegs: they should have just released a sex tape. That's what everybody would have wanted to watch

Dan: in that bedroom scene when they're on the boat and she's in that

Sidey: she bends over.

Dan: I don't remember, I don't remember that first time round. So, I was a lot younger then, probably about 11 or 12. So, yeah, I, I, it brought back those memories, you know, sitting and watching this probably at home with mum and dad when I was a kid.

And, it was, you know, not in,

Reegs: Your dad happily gaslighting

Dan: yeah, yeah,

Cris: also didn't influence you to do the same thing to other people,

Sidey: we know about.

Dan: we know about.

Reegs: It would make sense, really, though, that, why Jan has stayed here. There

Dan: There you go. Yeah. But no, it was obviously the

It is what it is, as far as these 80s films, loads goes wrong with it. You know, there's loads of things you can talk about the moral upkeep of it. It made me laugh in a couple of places.

Sidey: great

outfit.

Cris: Oh yeah, strong hair as well.

Reegs: And the pulling the nipple thing

Sidey: Yeah, it's

Reegs: made, that, four and a half stars for that.

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: Take

it on, I reckon. Go overboard.

Sidey: Everyone watch Horrid Henry?

Dan: Yes.

Ew.

Sidey: It was only a one passer.

So it was

Reegs: have cost you ten minutes of

Dan: I know, I

Reegs: plus the Time that it would have taken you

Dan: Okay, I'm gonna watch it now, and then I'll come back into

Sidey: Hang on,

Reegs: it. hang on.

Watch it now, edit him in watching it

Sidey: it and watch it

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: CRTV,

Reegs: if I know my children's TV, which I probably do a little bit by

Sidey: I probably do a

Dan: Part

Sidey: bit by now. So this is, because it's all about an app, you see.

And I would have been like, what the fuck is he talking

about, an app? You know, there's an app. So this is the

iPhone generation.

The plot of this is that he wants

to

Dan: what, what, what age, what age is this aimed at? So like, seven?

Sidey: seven?

They've got homework, so you're probably talking like last year of primary getting into secondary.

Dan: primary school kids.

Sidey: And so

the whole premise of this is that he's going to effectively bully someone that he

calls the

Reegs: the worm. So basically

Sidey: So, basically, chat. GPT.

Reegs: Yeah, well, and, well, also child labor as well, and exploitation, because obviously puts his younger brother, Perfect Peter, to work.

And he literally does keep him up, like, all day and all night, doing his homework.

Sidey: got a stack of books like this high. I'm doing a thing saying this big.

If you're

Reegs: It was how high show again That high. Oh, wow And also he gaslights his little brother as well because he tells him about oh, you can earn gold stars if you keep doing this

Sidey: And it's kind of like a Bart lisa thing.

to say if, if you just push all the

Educational buttons than lisa and

perfect

Peter. They just lap that up. So

he, He's like he

wants to do it

for the recognition he's gonna get and the amount of extra rewards But it's all just deployed to have a, I guess, uh uh a knowledge bank of answers to questions. Well,

Reegs: Well, he's just doing everybody's homework, isn't

Sidey: But What's the app side of

Reegs: I don't, it was no nonsense, because no money exchanged hands

Sidey: mate's called

Brainy, Brainy Brian,

or whatever. I thought he was going to create some sort of tech, which they were going to then feed all these answers into, that you could then say, right this is my homework, and it would just regurgitate the answers out for you every time.

Reegs: No, because the massive irony, of course, at the end of the episode

Sidey: hasn't done his

Reegs: that he hasn't done his homework, he's done everybody else's homework except his. But it wasn't clear whether any money exchanged hands, I don't think, so. or drugs, perhaps, I don't know, it's a school, or guns, bullets.

Sidey: Yeah, or maybe all of those.

The

teacher is called Miss Ballbreaker, I think.

Reegs: Yeah. And She was fit.

Dan: fit. Looks a little bit

Sidey: Looks a little bit like Rugrats, I

Dan: Rugrats, I thought. Yeah,

Sidey: Yeah, yeah. They've

all

got really rosy cheeks.

and

red noses. So you could be right on the whole drugs thing. Yeah. Or

alcohol. Maybe they're underage drinking or something. at

Reegs: Glue,

it was probably glue I would think Little lunch.

Sidey: Yeah, well

Dan: yeah, Well,

that's what they were up to, no doubt. But horrid Henry yeah, he's on something for sure.

Reegs: And so, but is he, is it a case of nominative determinism where he is, you know,

Dan: where my mind leads to, yeah.

Reegs: Got the word

Horrid in his name, or Yeah. Because he was a little shit in this, would he?

Dan: He's, is he

Is he horrible, and then he's horrible, or

Sidey: Nature versus nurture, do you

mean? Well, As a baby, he screamed all day and all night, never smiled, threw things around and constantly, threw things around constantly, and never, ever went to

sleep.

So

I think

I'm inferring from that, abusive parents.

Dan: possessed?

There's

Sidey: Oh, you think we

Reegs: sounds like he may have been

neurodivergent to me, and probably didn't have parents that were aware of it. So possibly the parents are a big part of the problem here. I think if a child is horrid already

Sidey: ever see a father?

Reegs: Not In this

episode we

Sidey: I think there might be an absent. There's a lack of a strong male

role

model and the mother, we never learned the mother's name, or the family's name.

Reegs: No,

but we see a string of men

Sidey: it. we,

Dan: we know that he, we know that he's got a brother. It's

Reegs: It's like

Rorschach in Watchmen,

Sidey: Yeah, it's okay actually.

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: It was short. I always look for that in a TV program.

Sidey: has a pet. hamster gerbil thing that

just lives in a drawer next to him

It Wasn't in a cage or anything.

Dan: Yeah, just scurries

Sidey: I

Dan: and out. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like, like, a little rodent friend that would sit on my shoulder and go

Sidey: on command.

Dan: on

Sidey: know what it was like as a child apparently, so I don't

Cris: didn't know what she liked as a child. Apparently. She said, I

Reegs: She couldn't think of a single like cartoon

or I'll tell

Cris: you man. I listen, it took two days to figure out the first two movies.

Reegs: alright. That's

still quicker than Pete.

Dan: Yeah,

Sidey: out the

first two movies. Well, that's alright. That's still quick and peaty.

nice. yeah.

Reegs: eldest has started watching something we're gonna have to review for pod.

Sidey: That's fair.

Dan: close to

Sidey: been keeping that close to your teat?

Reegs: Well, it's, it's

about like 10 year old gym last so

Sidey: Oh, that was the one!

Reegs: So it

seems a bit, I don't know whether to but she is

Sidey: Gymnastic Academy. Yeah,

Reegs: and she absolutely loves it.

Sidey: I saw that and was like, right, that's getting

Reegs: Yeah, I just gotta find the right movie to pair it with but yeah.

Sidey: it with, but yeah.

Dan: Oh, there you go. That's

good.

Reegs: isn't it? that's good.

Dan: Did, did you go into trivia verse at all this

Reegs: that one with the No,

Sidey: Should we

End this?

Reegs: Yeah.

it's gibberish.

Have we even said what we thought of the movie? Which bit? are We on

Yeah. Oh

Dan: yeah. we

Reegs: Have We, said what we thought of that?

Sidey: I thought

it was okay. I think we've all gone a bit like a bit sugar, crazy. because of all the

scum.

Dan: There, there might be some scum.

Sidey: I thought

this was a pleasant surprise?

Dan: Yeah, it's not horrid.

Sidey: that. Yeah.

it's not horrid.

Dan: Yeah, okay. I'm working from home tomorrow. I did ask you, did you do any of the Triviaverse? And maybe you just said no to me.

But

Reegs: we could get that on, yeah, yeah. I tried to talk to my missus about doing it at home,

yeah.

Dan: I, I thought it might be Yeah, we've, we're going for high score in Triviaverse, which is an online quiz on Netflix that you play with your remote control. And we're pretty darn good at it, actually.

Sidey: Okay.

We need some

nominations

been available to watch anything because he's going away.

Sidey: I haven't got

any, No.

Reegs: nothing.

Dan: the rest
