Um, probably had six, seven, eight you would just re-watch over and over again. The lines, it reached the point, the famous lines from this movie, and then there's like a whole separate subsection of lines from this movie that you could just do shorthand with people. And uh I think this comedy had as big of an influence as any comedy that has come out in the last 50 years, Animal House. Almost like a it's got like a crater where it landed, and it like starts all these different like micro genres, it kick starts these careers, basically launches like three different filmmakers into the world with Reitman Ramus and Landis had already worked, obviously, but like its its importance almost dwar fs its like entertainment sometimes. But I I still really like enjoy having it on a lot. What was the movie you said it's like putting on an old sweatshirt? Uh Ghostbusters. Yeah. I I feel that way about Animal House. Yeah. I've just seen it so many times. I know every section of it. It's got Belushi who is who's right here actually. You know what I wanted to ask you about was what what kind of relationship you had to National Lampoon as like an institution outside of just the Hughes movies and and this. Only knew it from Animal House. Okay. From all the people that kind of went on and then from reading the books about it. You know, when it once you started reading the like even the Bob Woodward book about Belushi, the Santa Lab book that came out in eighty four, eighty f It's just kind of fascinating because you know it it's not dissimilar from a lot of um upstart media stories that you read about from the last 20 years, like it's not that much different than Vice in some ways, or something, where it starts out as this like small time production house or you know, like magazine uh based out of Harvard and then branches out into all these different things and takes advantage of corporations looking for basically for lack of a better term content at the time. It's like Grantland. Just these little underdogs. Yeah. Oh no, we work for ESPN. Um it's a before-after for comedy movies. Just felt like Blazing Saddles was what 74, 75 range. Um this movie comes out and it leads to two different eras, because you have the rambunctious comedy era, right? That's Animal House, Meatballs, Catashack, Blues Brothers, Airplane Stripes, like big stars, big set pieces just felt felt like it was for everybody who was twenty and older in the seventies and then people like us who were growing up after jumping in. But it also ushered in the raunchy comedy era. Sex comedy, yeah. Which which then Porkies really capitalized on. But we've talked about that in the Benge of the Nerds, yeah. Zepped class, losing it. This was like a whole cottage industry. So it spun two separate industries of comedy. It also pretty much invents the modern college comedy. Yeah. Which maybe doesn't even really like take flight until the 90s. Like I grew up with kicking and screaming, yeah. Um everybody wants some is later, but PCU was a big one for me. Like that is a really reliable subgenre of comedy. I feel like it was the first college movie. I'm sure there were others, but this is the first one I can really think of that I saw where it was like, is this what it's like to go to college? Yeah. Did you think that? Kinda, yeah. I was I was on a text thread last night with uh two of my best friends from high school went to Colgate. Okay. And they were in a frat in Colgate with two of my other friends who became good friends. And we were just texting about this movie and um how much like they had seen Animal House for years, and they when they went into college in the late 80s, it was like, I want to be in a frat. You're just making the animal house jokes as you're in the frat. Yeah. Um, and that's just kind of how the 80s went. I have some takes on this later, but this movie was like someday I'll go to college and I'll be like the animal house guys. It's hard to explain. I have that's how I felt about high school with Ferris Bueller, where I was just like, I'm gonna go to high school, I'm gonna have my own room, you know, which I date, I was only child, but like I'm gonna have like this universe within my room and I like these are gonna be my friends but one day like I'm just gonna have like the coolest day ever like in high school when I'm like cut in class. Craig you you're later than us, there's a million college movies that are out by then. Right? Less than you'd think though. It's mostly high school more than college. Yeah. You know, like old school and stuff. It's usually like joke, that's like neighbors, but those are more like plays on adults interacting with college, less than college kids. Yeah. It's themselves. Yeah. So when you watch this movie, first of all, the movie takes place in nineteen sixty two. Yes. Well, which now feels like a cajillion years ago. Crucial kind of thing that they did, which was made a movie about when I think honestly the writers were like, this is when America had its innocence is like before Kennedy, uh Kennedy assassination. But before Vietnam, before Watergate, before everything. Very, very, very, very like aggressive modern sensibility of like raunch you know yeah and so they like they infuse it basically with like late seventies debauchery but it's about like when everything was still innocent. So they catch lightning in the bottle when this movie comes out. They film it in late 77, comes out summer of 78. SNL is on at that SNL is the biggest that's ever gonna be because this movie comes out, makes Bolush an even bigger star . You have all this national lampoon stuff happening where all these people, it was like this comedy factory, now they're all going out, getting hired by Hollywood. You have the 70s comedy movement in general, which is happening on two separate coasts, right? And that this is like the Letterman, Seinfeld, Jay Leno, all these people are in LA too. And then you have young people pushing against old people, which is a thing that's happening all through the seventies and finally trickles into comedy with Saturday Live and some other stuff and just kind of people lampooning people older than them, pushing the envelope, trying to be raunchy, trying to offend people. There's one more thing. Let's go. You're starting to get late 50s and early 60s nostalgia because of America Happy D and Happy Days. So it's people who are probably in their late 30s or early 40s thinking about when they were kids and the music that was on and the way people dressed and the like the different archetypes of people that were around. Why can't that come back? Well it does. I mean we just do it for the nineties now or we do it for the early two thousand. Are we doing it correctly for the late 90s? It feels like we should be nostalgic for pre-social media and what life was. I think that's due soon. Like we're kind of like there is like a kind of early 2000s, like, you know , like that era, like nostalgia going on, and we'll probably have Craig. You're coming back. I mean, people are wearing corded headphones again because it's cool and nostalgic. And like Billy. I never stopped. You never stopped. But you were I knew people would say that. Remember you were like Ben said that everybody likes the strokes now and stuff, like the in that that is his age. Like that's that's another sign of that kind of thing. People are dressing like the name of the thing in these cycles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you could see it a little bit with the with the JFK Carolyn Bassette too with the early 90s, people going backwards, but it seems like music, there's a huge nostalgia movement now for that early 2000s stuff that we loved. Yep. And then uh the comedies is the other one. Mainly because we're not making comedies the same way we have, which we've talked about a million times. But that whole that whole Apatow generation run and then the late 90s stuff, I feel like, is as big as ever. Um so many running lines from this movie and uh i think there's like levels of this right these are lines that just have become part of like the lexicon we're in like in my everyday life from college on likeike um when when uh flounder comes in he's like you guys playing cards? That was something we would just say. And you you knew somebody was doing a flounder. Um major league yabbooss. We call boob yabos at college because of this movie. I had that what's in what's age of the best. And that foot is me. That was another one. You would just do it. Thank you, sir Mab. Another the toga Like anytime like, should we have a party Friday night? And just be like, even though you weren't having a toga party. Yeah. It's like, toga . Um My parents used to make double secret probation jokes. That was that was this movie probably created that., Yeah I think so. Yeah. Um there but there were stealth ones too, like wait till oh wait till Otis sees us. He loves us . You just throw that one out. Um Otis My Man, when we had Otis Nixon on the Red Sox, uh, there was like a whole bunch of Otis My Man jokes because everyone knew Animal House. There's one that I actually from that the Dexter scene that I really like is when Peter Ryger, I think, says you girls come here often . He's great in this movie, by the way. You mind if we dance with your dates? Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, sir, is was the one that became the biggest one along with was it over when the Germans bombed Perarbor? Yeah. He's on a roll. Keep him going. Um Niedermeyer dead became another f amous one and then um then the Remain Come All Is Well But I mean I just listed that's 12 lines from this and they really did become part of the way people talked. It's hard to explain. There's also um I think I was watching the uh Chandler Levac movie Roommates a couple weeks ago, the Netflix thing. Twenty year old. It's basically this it's basically animal house. You know what I mean? Like the idea of like taking a really good formative setting in someone's life and doing it more in like a vignette style and having a lot of gags within gags within gags. And I think that there's a way that this is like this movie feels like magazine articles in a way, or it feels like paging through a magazine. It doesn't feel like it's disconnected. Influences the next scene necessarily. And that is like kind of like Kentucky Fried Movie. It's kind of like SNL and Lemmings and the other things that they were doing around. It's like Monty Python. It's very much like out of sketch and out of magazine rating. Yeah, and it's funny that all these people kind of indirectly or directly knew each other from the 70s, these comedy people, and it didn't matter. Like they know each other from Second City, Groundlings, Lemmings, SNL. Um, they went to college together at Harvard. Um and they were all kind of interconnected. Like in this movie, Landis didn't know these guys. John Landis, this is his first big movie. Harold Ramis, it's his first big credit. And he knew, I think he was the one that knew Belushi from Second City. So he was like, we gotta have Belushi's Bluto. Ivan Reitman's first big movie ever. Another one. He might be taking the producer lead for us. Reitman. Yeah. Yeah. This is like at least his sixth or six months. I would bet Bruckheimer's number one. Bruckheimer, yeah, you're right. Bruckheimer's probably one. Um, Belushi's first mainstream movie. We'll talk about him in a second. Kevin Bacon and Karen Allen. Karen Allen about to go on a just a she's about to be in Raiders. Yeah. Yeah. Meteoric rise for her. Uh Tim Matheson, Bruce McGill, Tom Hulse. Yep. Bruce McGill like just became a different human being like 20 years later. Yeah, he became like like the legendary middle-aged character actor. What that smirk off your face . You wouldn't you would have no idea he was D-Day in this. I have a lot of Tim Matheson thoughts later. And then Stephen First is Flounder . And then Maggie from Caddyshack, who I can't wait to talk about later. Is that the thirteen year old? Ye Yeah.ah. And then randomly , just three Donald Sutherland scenes for no real reason. Yeah, and it sounds like they basically needed him to like get the movie. It's like imagine a world where Donald Sutherland is like, I'll do it. That's what gets it over the hump. I was trying to think of the equivalent now to that, which would be like if I don't know, you just got like Ryan Reynolds or somebody. Probably we need to make this I don't know but it's somebody at that level. He was famous enough that it was a big deal he was in the movie. All right, so Belushi only received thirty-five thousand, paid a bonus after it became a hit . They created the character as a cross between Harpo Marx and the Cookie Monster. I don't know the Harpo Monster. I don't remember Har Harpo Marx's work. Uh do you never did Marx Brothers? Nah. Nah I always like associated a lot of this comedy stuff with Stu just like a lot of the stuff. Big exaggerated. Cause he was doing comedy on stage forever and you had to do a lot of like dramatic. Did you ever see anybody who ended up becoming famous in a gro undlings or lemmings or anything like that? Second city? Um, in New York , like back in the day, I saw Human Giant, which is Aziz, I'm sorry, and Paul Shear's group. Yeah. So I saw I was dating a girl who moved to Chicago and we went to Second City and Horatio Sands really was on the cast and I don't he I don't he hadn't made SNL yet, but was just clearly really funny. Right. And was like, and then when he went to SNL was like, that was the guy we saw in Chicago. Um and then the other one, a little different, but when the first year I was working for Jimmy's show, he used to have Zach Alfanakis on all the time. He had like this fake character. He we all loved him. We thought he was like a genius. And he he would come on. I think he used to play his brother Seth. He had this fake brother. Yeah. And uh but we would always like pitch stuff like we gotta get this and Zach and but no, you know, he wasn't famous at all. And then he became Zach Out. You know what one of my favorite bits reading about Animal House was was reading about Landis going on Carson, I think. Was it Landis who went on Carson? And he did like a movie called Schlo ck, but Carson liked it. And like just was like, I'm gonna have this guy on the and he does like a great performance on Carson. Really? Yeah, but like the idea that you could go on Letterman or go on Carson and nobody knew who you were, but if he liked you and he had you on three times, people were like, that's a guy now, you know? Like that's what I try to do with my podcast, Craig. Yeah. Yeah. When somebody comes on, it's like a papal blessing. Papal blessing. I feel like the modern version of like seeing Horatio Saints do improv or something like that is now it's like being a fan of somebody's comedy YouTube channel. And then like three years later they're in a movie or on the SNL. Like I remember Veronica who's on SNL. Veronica's Lawasca. I remember Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney. We used to love their YouTube channel, Good Neighbor Stuff. Yeah. And then like four years later, they were on SNL. We're like, holy shit. Yeah, that is the equivalent. So 78 . Our guy, Belushi. Yeah. Um , he pulls off. We talked about this during the Blues Brothers pod. He pulls off one of the great trifectas ever in the history of Hollywood. He's on SNL, which is the most important comedy show and probably the most influential TV show. He's in this movie, which finishes third for the year and is the biggest comedy movie ever, and then releases the Blues Brothers album. And that goes to number one. And he has all of that going at the same time in the winter of nineteen seventy-eight. And uh now Murph's What happens when this happens? I don't know what happened what's going on here, Murph. You wanna get down ? Yeah. You can like something. This is what happens when you work with it. Let him out? Uh no, he'll he'll lie over there. So balushi . Um he flew too close to the sun, Sierra. So to speak, yeah. Yeah. This was it. I think he already had flying close to the sun. People think it's Icarus. No, it was Belushi. He'd already was prone to maybe having some some issues. Yeah. And then uh this happens and he becomes as white hot famous as anyone we've ever had. This is it. This is like he becomes too famous to be on SNL . He gets every single comedy you could possibly be offered to you. And he's touring with a band in front of sold-out crowds. Yeah, too much. One of my favorite things is the he has to do like he does three days a week on Animal House. He's flying to Oregon Tails tells all of them like all these like bits and jokes he's thinking of, and then they would watch SNL on Saturday night and those things that he was joking about on like Tuesday would be on the show on Saturday. Well that was another he was supp uh allegedly clean when he was doing this movie. And uh he moved there with his wife and he's he's living in some house. He's not living with the with the cast. Trying to stay clean. They host Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah. And he's like, and then I think he went off the rails right after. And that was that. There's been a lot of stuff written about this. But nobody really Farley's the only one like Belushi that I can think of. Like that could just physical presence, the Pratt Falls, the facial expressions, the comedy. Like the moment you see him, you're just like, I'm just laughing already, he hasn't done anything yet. And the the same kind of thing that Farley, everybody always does to say about Farley was that they would just do anything for a a laugh. Yep . I wonder who else is would you say Danny McBride, even though he wasn't physically like that, is a little like that, or no? Like where you just see him and you're like, I'm ready to laugh. He can say anything and you'll laugh. The physical side is maybe not as much there with him. I don't know Robin Williams, I feel like had a little bit of that. Yeah. Yeah. That was but that was as much like I'm just gonna do fifteen minute bits like off of what one thing that you say. Um this was like I'll jump through a plate class window. And and didn't I'm the the the Farley story about Chippendale, Sandler didn't want him to do it because he's like, people are just gonna laugh at you. Yeah. And he Farley was like, I don't care. There's something, it's such a small group of people that have had this. And it happens with athletes too. If you just go to a a game or a comedy event or whatever, and you sit down and somebody comes on the stage or the court wherever, and your eyes just go to them. That's what Blue everyone said that's what Blue sheet had. Like when he's the years before us, and now every time he came on stage, he just owned the stage. And it's also like it has an almost Beatles-like concentration of like it was just a few years. Yeah. You know, it was it was not like this 20-year career. It was like, it was basically six years, right? Pretty much. I mean, SNL's 75. He's dead in 82. Yeah. Um , it had an interesting effect on SNL because it made Animal House made the show bigger. The fourth season of SNL, which starts in 78, the 78, 79 season, the audience increased to the point that the Lauren Michaels and the writers kind of resented it. Lauren called it the undeserved audience. It was like we were doing this. Where were you guys before? Now you're just here cause animal house. Well it's like they thought that they were like hipsters essentially and that now all of a sudden like all the squares were like I watch this, you know? Yeah. And there's a lot a lot of the research from this was once Animal House happens, all these guys now can get jobs. Everyone's looking for the next Belushi Animal House. Everyone's looking for the next person to write that. So Nasha, PJ O'Rourke had this whole thing about it killed national lampoon immediately. Yeah. Because everyone who wrote for it was now being approached to writing. Yeah. And it just was like demolished um basically this counterculture thing. They became the culture. Yeah. Although by the time PJ Aurorca's running National Lampoon, like it I it's it's probably like its sensibility is more conservative than you would be you'd be surprised to find out like how conservative like their their worldview was, I think. I was never a big national lampoon guy. I always probably like mad magazine board, as weird as that is, but spy was the first one where I was like finally a magazine for things. Yeah, yeah. You know. Have either of you read that national ampoon like yearbook paradigm? I looked at like some of the pages just online for this, but it's a kind of ingenious. I'm sure other people had done it beforehand, but it's basically um Boone's yearbo ok with like notes scrawled and then there's some of the characters from the couple of the characters from the movie are in it, yeah. There's a really good uh national lampoon documentary that was made kind of in the early days of when we w we were good at documentaries. I'm gonna say it's like late 2000s, early 2010s. I thought they did a good job. They interviewed a lot of people. Is it called Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead? 2015. Yeah. Yeah. That documentary is good. Um so this was based on Ramus' experience, Ramus's experience at Washington University , Miller, uh Chris Miller's experience at Dartmouth, and then Ivan Reitman at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Not on my radar. That was in one of your uh safety schools. And then Doug Kenny, who was uh you know one of the writers, pretty legendary lampoon guy, died in Hawaii with Chevy Chase. Chevy Chase and him were on vacation. Fell off a cliff. Unclear what happened. Big mystery. You know, you're not the duck hent's a really interesting thing. I didn't know about this. Yeah, big rabbit hole. He was involved. He was like involved in caddyshack . Right. A lot of cocaine. Yes. Back then obviously in all kinds of ways. And a death that they still don't know what happened. And some people wonder if he killed himself or he didn't. Right. Um, but anyway, he graduated from Harvard. He was his frat experience was closer to the Omega side, and the three characters from the yearbook you mentioned were Larry Kroger , uh Mandy Pepperidge and Vernon Wormer. Oh, so it's probably Larry's yearbook done, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but you mentioned this earlier. They they picked 62 because they thought that was the year before JFK, the year before Vietnam gets going, kind of the last innocent year in America. It's like, but it's like almost like right around then . Cause I remember my earliest memories of like the car radio are my parents listening to like big chills style oldies. So for them, this is like kind of almost like that, they're freezing that time in amber and they're starting to make money off of it. With happy days and stuff. So the original script and there was a lot more vomiting, there was a lot of cra zy shit. They did like nine drafts and then uh finally got Green Lit at three million bucks. And uh the national imputent guy, Matty Simmons, no relation, said screw it, silly little movie, we'll make a couple bucks. Um Landa said he thought it was the funniest script he'd ever read, really offensive . He said there was a great deal of projectile vomiting and rape and all these things. Yeah. I don't even know what that meant for a comedy, but um they get Belushi and they're off. Three million dollar budget made $141.5 million . Feels like probably more since then. This is just well, also $140 million dollars off three million dollars is an insane profit craig they did it made one twenty yeah they did the re-release a year later in 79 made another 21 million just because belushi was more famous. Let me ask you you this. Did watch this? What had you did you watch this after you'd seen Caddyshack? I don't remember when I first saw this. Um, I saw Caddyshack in the theater. I don't think my parents let me see this in the theater. So I probably saw it after Kate Shak . But I love Belushi. So I probably figured out a way to see this at some point. This is one of those where it's like this movie's been in my life for fifty years. I don't remember when I saw it. Other ones I do remember. It's interesting to think about this kicking it all off. But a lot of people, most people who are listening to this podcast probably saw it in and around maybe even after they saw Revenge of the Nerds, or maybe even after they saw Porkies, or maybe even after they saw like PCU and Daised and Confused. I mean, you you might have an experience where it's always sitting there on the shelf. Like I remember really being drawn to the um the cartoon poster. Yeah and like that style of like kind of caricature. I was just like, what is this? You know? Well, the part I don't remember from the 80s is how we saw the unedited version because we didn't really have the VHS stuff until like 83, 84 range. So it was probably edited for a couple years there on the different channels and then became unedited again. Well, this was definitely a sleepover movie. No question. I feel like everybody had a copy of it. Yeah, but if you I remember when I was like, I I must have been like eight or nine, maybe or something, and it was just like, we're gonna watch Animal House tonight. My older brother got it, you know? Yeah. Top 11 movies in 1978, Craig . Grease, Superman , Animal House. It's our top three. Wow. Every which way but loose. Is that rewatchable ? It is for me. Say the word. Clinton's put it in a ragatang in a truck. Um heaven can wait . Hooper. If we do August one for us month, it should be every which way but loose Lincoln . What else? And there's so many one for uses . Uh Jaws 2 was 7th, Revenge of the Pink Panther, the Deer Hunter, Halloween, and Foul Play. Deer Hunter. Top 11. Bring up the realm. Deer Hunter crank it. Crank it almost 50 million. Oh, that's definitely that's not even a one for us month. No. No. That just came out on Steelbook. Yeah. Yeah. Um, Ebert . Four stars. Fucking loved this movie. It's anarchic, messy, filled with energy. It assaults us. Part of the movie's impact comes from his sheer level of manic energy. It's better made than we might at first realize. It takes skill to create this sort of comic pitch. Probably caught Ebert at the right time of his life too. Yeah. I wonder if 1998 Roger Ebert loves it as much. He's coming, he still has a little bit of like Russ Meyer vapors coming out of that. No question. But I do imagine if you saw this in 78, it would feel like punk rock. It would feel like he describes it as anarchic. Well, we'll talk about it when we do rewatchable scenes. But there's seven minutes in the middle of this movie where Belushi just goes to another planet. Yes. It's like an all-time takeover, but we'll talk about it in one second and take a break.

Yeah, he just said he did not a Belushi guy. Most rewatchable scene . Really good entrances for Bluto, Otter, and D-Day in the beginning. Yeah. I like a good entrance. See Bluto, he's just drinking a beer. Eric Stratton. Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet you. I can't wait to talk about Matheson. I really like him in this movie. Uh the pledge recruit sequence when they're naming everybody. Yeah. You're Weasel. You're mothball. You're gonna be Pinto. Why Pinto? Um Louie Louie. I like Pelushi just probably looks I don't know if he was really drunk for that scene during the Louis Louis. That look hammered. Yeah. Um, and then we go to the other frat for the thank you, sir. May have another. All right. So those are two. Flounder kills a horse, followed by the the the dean meeting. Holy shit . Uh the cafeteria scene. Yeah. The food fight. The food Belushi and the food line. First he's eating out of the garbage, basically. Yeah. And then he goes through the food line. It's that's just like also a six-minute Buster Keaton scene. Like it's it's silent for the most part until he goes, everybody goes and sits down with the preppy kids. But like all of that stuff with him. I like when the donut falls off the tray. He just keeps going, just grabbing stuff, putting things on top, eats the jello . Um, and then he makes the horse sound at that guy. Yep. And then does the opposite, which I think for me at at age 10 or 11 was the height of comedy for me. Yeah. It's the funniest thing of all time. Um entirely improvised in the cafeter ia. And then uh they just kind of went. The Amazit thing was apparently improvised too. They didn't . Just a home run . But it's up there for me. It might be my most rewatchable. We do have the latter scene, which I guess is probably a little problematic these days. Yeah, but what 's a little bit of a voyeur thing. I mean, but that in basically is it invents revenge of the nerds and Porcupine. Yeah. Yeah. Um the turn to the camera eyebrow raise. Yeah. All timer . The ladder falling backwards is just fucking funny . He just goes back. Uh I had so this seven minutes of Belushi just taking over the movie. I almost wonder: is this a new category? The Victor Wembanyama Award for when somebody just completely annihilates four minutes of a movie. There's no defense for this? Yeah, it's like, what's happening? He just scored 12 points in two minutes, black five shots. Um, but that was a just a total whimby. Does that Belushi thing it's still funny for your generation, right? Yeah. Okay, good. What the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Just every everything in Belushi, though, but especially the cafeteria. I just feel like that's it's gotta be timeless comedy for who however old you are. Yeah, I think I think some people might find it like a little it's juvenile humor that like hasn't aged in a like a clever way. But I still think it it's really funny. Okay, good. The grocery store scene is underrated. I really like the grocery store scene. Flanders just catching 15 things. Also, my cucumber is bigger. The flirting? Yeah. There's something about those mid-70s uh horny housewives that they would have in these movies, like in Slapshot or this movie. Yeah, they really did it for me. Yeah. Uh Toga Party. I like when Otter takes their coats and throws just throws them on the ground. There's so many good little like just blinking you miss it visual sight gags in this movie like that. Guitar guy gets demolished. We get shout. This is the kid cutty pursuit of happiness word for needle drop. I think this is my most rewatchable scene because I really love the shout performance. I love how it cuts back and forth with the audience. I like a little bit louder now. Like little bit louder. Oh my god. Yeah. It's so good that the wedding crashers was like, let's just do that again. Yeah. They did the homage. Um the road trip to the bar to see Otis Day . Yep. Dexter's. Wait till Otis see us. He loves us . Uh Wormer reading the grades. Yeah. Zero point two . Fat drunken stupid. Um that guy has an amazing voice. And he had like almost like it seemed like a glass eye or something. John Vernon? But I know he didn't, but he had a way of like he just always seemed like he was about to say something evil. Just like the way he says double secret probation it's so good yeah if you're a character actor in the 70s you just are like what I do is wear a suit and I do the same part in every movie yeah yeah yeah so I just I just nail it . The big Bluetooth speech, which I think is the most famous scene for this movie because it lived on in sports and jumbotrons for 20 years after. It's kind of the first hold on, hold on, let him cook. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Yeah. He's like, they're like Germans, and he's like, Hold on, let him he's cooking. Groggy and Dougie and some of the other Hitler youth underrated line. Um every every part of that bullshit thing is great. The uh the parade scene's fun. The parade scene ru is like a precursor to Blues Brothers where it's like we don't really know what to do here. So let's have a giant set piece. Belushi just climbs on top of a building for no reason. I could have I could have fixed it though, but that's in a category coming up. Okay, great. Um, and then the closing credits . Which I think this movie probably invented. Well, it's certainly Apex Mountain for Z Wanton Neo title cards. Yeah, what nobody did this before this movie. I have no idea. And I feel like everybody's ripped it off since. There's so many good ones. The Marmalard became a Nixon White House aide and was raped in prison in 1974 Otter became a gynecologist, Beverly Hills. Senator and Mrs. John Butarski. Yeah. Just like fucking home runs all over. I like that D-Day's whereabouts were unknown too. Um What do you have for most of rewatchable? The most rewatchable scene for me is the toga party with Shout. Yeah. I agree. That's just the most fun to watch. What's the most 1978 slash 1963 thing about this movie? I think we have to go with 1978. Well, I just had the prominence of National Lampoon as a comedy brand. As like an umbrella that like was doing all this different stuff and was launching all these careers. I have uh smoking pot in a dark room as a secret clandestine event. And that you are afraid you might get schizophrenia from it. It's like oh try that. Um I had that and then Pinto's girl revealing that she's 13 is just insane. Yes. It was insane in nineteen seventy eight. It's out of control when that's fucking crazy belt. Go sixteen or seventeen? Yeah. Maybe it's still borderline insane. But thirteen. She's like I'm thirteen and he still goes for it. He's just like, I guess I said no no no. But he's a he asks he has to get oh, because he has to get married to her first, right? And she's like, hey, mom and dad, this is the guy that molested me. Yeah. I think doing in 1978, obviously nobody in the room or no notes or edits were like, hey, make her older. Thirteen's crazy. Yes. The when would I have died award? I would have killed myself after that girl said I was thirteen. Yes. Thirteen. Also she, I mean I the real actress was probably like 20. I just let's hope I don't know what I don't know if they thought 13 was funny. Or like , oh, it would be funny if she says she's 13 To imagine Ye.ah . It's it is the craziest thing in this movie. Because old school basically does Old School which ripped off multiple parts of this movie. Yes. But they do Old School is almost a remake. Yeah. Yeah. But they do the same thing with uh with Luke Wils on when he's with Alasha Coothbert and sh it turns out she's in high school. It's crazy. I mean this girl is lying topless in this movie and then an hour later she's 13 It's just it's just nuts. I don't understand it. Yeah. Um she was 20. Yeah. Actress. It's just weird that you nailed that. Well, she looked like she was at least in college . But I think they thought he's like got a great scout's eye. Yeah, you know, I sized her up. I think they thought 13 would get a big laugh. Yeah. Look, John Lance. This is 1978. L Landis takes some big swings, man. Yeah. In terms of big swings, probably not as big as the Twilight Zone. No. Um . The Floyd Gondoli, Butter in My Ass, and Lollipops in My Mouth award for something I just enjoy. Man, I just like Louie Louie and Shout. Those songs are undefeated. They still go really hard at weddings. Did we still play Shout at weddings? Oh, yeah. I I think that was gonna make my my category would have just been what's age the best. I have not been to a wedding where Shout is not playing. Okay, so you may think you're better than Shout, but any every time you go to a wedding and Shout plays, you're like, this is the thing that really set the wedding off. It is the single best moment of every wedding is Shout. It still plays. Live band, DJ, doesn't matter. Everybody loves shout, getting on the floor. Like it is. It's the time when everybody's like, let's get fucked up. The question for I was gonna ask though is, did the wedding thing happen after wedding crashers or were people doing that in the 80s after Animal House? After Animal House. Really? Every wedding I went to from the early 90s on, there was shout. Yeah. And I assume that was the case in the 80s too. Uh and we've the weddings that I have been to have all had shout. But pre-wedding crashers. Yeah. Oh, fuck yeah. Oh no. Everyone's Shout's a fucking wedding staple. No. Well, because I just didn't everybody liked the song Watching Animal House, but that has nothing to do with a wedding. I didn't wedding crashers made it popular at a weddings. No, Shout was you would No, no, no, no, no.. No, it was a thing before No, you would go to a wedding even in the early 90s and it was like, can't wait for show. You just knew it was coming. And you knew the band was gonna play it. The the thing is like it's the undisputed champ. Yeah. It's like, who's the best quarterback of all time? It's Tom Brady. Like, there's no argument. It's it's chocolate ice cream. There's just like very few people who are like, I don't like shout. I don't want to do that. Like, then why'd you come to the wedding? It's just like the most, it's a complete communal experience. Everybody knows the moves.. It's the best Yeah, because you the fact that you have to like go down to the ground and then come back up and get happy again is the key to shake. Now the question is have you ever done gator where you jump on the floor and and shake it up? I don't remember doing that one.. No Um, yeah, it's like shouts Michael Jordan, and every once in a while a new song comes in and tries to be LeBron, and then we have an argument about it. It's like, nah, no, it's still show . My uh Floyd Gondoli , I like when a movie gets made because um it wasn't gonna get made until some random star from the time period agreed to be in it for two scenes. And then they're like, now we can make it. Sutherland's here. Sutherland, he worked for two days . He was offered $25,000 for the two days or two percent of the film's gross. He took the $25K. And he took the $25K because he thought the movie was gonna bomb. It's amazing. We we've done four hundred and thirty-seven rewatchables at this point, four thirty-eight, something like that. It's amazing how many times the movies were like right on the fringe of not being made until some random do it.. Ye Yeahah. And Donald Sutherland, it's not like he was famous, but I even I said Ryan Reynolds before he wasn't even as famous as Ryan Reynolds. It was I just think it's a different kind of fame. I mean he's also like doing still doing like three movies a year pretty much around . I'd have to look at like his actual filmography. But those people like worked a lot, you know. And I love in the opening credits. I love when it says at the end, and so and so as Jennings. Yeah and Donald Sutherland as Jennings. It's great. Well, I have him in What's Age the Best too because I'm convinced he's wearing just his same clothes from Invasion of the Body Invasion of the Body Statures. It's the same outfit. He's wearing the same outfit that he wears for an hour of the movie and he was probably filming the other movie. It's hilario and he looks the same, he's got the same hair, the same mustache. That's like he just got pulled out of the city. So what does he do? He does the John Milton speech, she does the my novel as a piece of sh it scene, and then he's in the last one. Then we see his ass Katie, yeah. He's in two and a half scenes, basically. Um, the biggest what's aged the best for this movie is Bluto's speech became an incredi bly impactful home game sports movie. Yes. Let's get the crowd going. During this era that I think is basically over now, but from late nineties , I'm saying ninety-eight, ninety-nine range through the 2000s. There was like five or six different movies where they would play the scenes. They would do Rudy, they would do Hoosiers. And this one always brought the house. I feel like three hundred three hundred's a good one. Uh Gladiator and like what's another one that's kind of replaced this as like a staple? But I don't feel like they do this anymore. Because people during the timeouts are just playing with the world. to have 300 playing when they would do the starting lineups. The Celtics would they got to the point where they just wouldn't run the clip. They would just play the speech. They would they would do the speech but they would intersperse it with you know Celtic shit. And they would like to do like the next level recut of it. But Animal House was a major one. And you would just see blue. It was like nothing is over. Have you ever heard this in a game? I don't think so. Yeah, they don't do it anymore. Yeah. This was like a 10-year run. Uh, I have more, but what do you have for Woodstage Best? The way that they depict the what is essentially like Smith College, like the the Seven Sisters schools. Yeah. The girl who dies in a kiln explosion. Fun. And Otter's like, she was gonna make me a pot. We were engaged to be engaged. Um, but just the whole that whole segment, it's not necessarily like a rewatchable scene, but it's so nailed on, like that whole like women's college thing. Uh yeah, there's somebody working at the front desk. Same thing. Belushi destroying the acoustic guitar. I feel like I've seen like a billion times, and like is still like I think of it every time I'd I'd ever go to a party and somebody would be like, there's a guy in the corner playing Dave Matthews and you're just like, how funny would it be to just smash this thing against the fucking wall and be like, sorry . I have uh I think Matheson is tremendous as I unbelievable. This guy. I think he's so good in this movie. And it's like kind of looks like Craig, by the way. That's really a compliment. I don't understand why Tim Matheson didn't become a bigger star. I had him coming up, but we could talk about it now. Like, he is actually the could have been Harrison Ford because he was another guy up for Raiders. Um , and like he's a little like I think he's like a Hollywood native like whole life, like on Western TV shows when he's a little kid and stuff. But well I wonder, did he get it's in Cast and What If's, I'll do one now where they tried to get Chevy Case for Chevy Chase for Otter and he ended up doing foul play. I wonder if he just got market corrected by Chevy Chase. Well he didn't with Chevy Chase. But it's funny to watch him be Chevy Chase's straight man in Fletch, but it's just doing Chevy Chase in an other I think Otter is so fucking funny in this speech at the trial. Yeah. Where he's like, if the fraternity system is on trial, then the entire system is on trial i won't have you besmirch the united states of america and they walk out seeing the star spankle banner i love how horny he is too like he meets Flounder's girlfriend. Yeah. And he's like, here, come over here. He's just like clearly gonna try to get Flounder's girlfriend to go up to his room. He's always trying to have sex with whoever he's in the room with, but he's like, there's something charming about him. I don't know. That's why the gynecologist thing is so funny at the end. Yeah. It's like of course hysterical. Um I thought Matheson just killed it. Um crazy college Razzi kids. Yeah. Niedermeyer when they're all in the thing like that's also an opening watch with those kids, yeah. Uh Ryger and Matheson playing golf and just trying to hit the don't think about it as work. Think about it as something you enjoy. This is a small one, but at the beginning when Flander and Pinto go to the thing to meet it the other people, like the basically the first scene of the movie, and he lets Pinto in and then slams the door on Flounder. And it's like a great like I it actually seems like he hits him with the thing, but it's just like just immediately sets the table. When Flounder goes over to Greg and starts talking at him and then Greg's like kind of guides him back to the four rejects and he's like, I've already met these guys, and he's like, great, you'll have plenty to talk about . Uh hand jobs with latex gloves. You think that's aged the best? Yeah, it's hilarious. Um Flounder in Silent Rage four years later ? Silent, that is the one for us month. Silent Rage? Yeah. Yeah. We're finally gonna end up doing that. But Flounder is Chuck Norris's sidekick in Silent Rage. That would be an amazing collection of films. It's just if we did if we did Lincoln Silent Rage. And we tried to time it with Netflix. It was like, hey, so I'm not sure how you're going to promote this in the carousel, but it's it's one for us month. Toga parties did become a thing in the 80s. I had never I was at the tail end of it when I was in college. I don't think I ever went to one of the city. Was Greece you weren't in a Fratic. No. Were did you you were you? I was in a fraternity for two years and we did throw a toga party in college. Did you like set were you were in a junior and senior or freshman sophomore? Freshman sophomore. Why'd you stop? Uh I just like honestly didn't like it. Okay. I don't know. Wow. Sounds like he got hazed. Uh I did go through that. But eh just not for me. Yeah. Um we threw the toga party out of house senior year actually, not in the frat. Was it fun? It's great. It's the best. Yeah. The toga thing became a a big thing for about I would say ten years. Never never got it. It's also like the easiest dress up party you can go to. Like it's everyone just wears a bedsheet. It's the easiest thing in the world. You gotta wear like shorts underneath the bed sheet, though, right? Not not me. Not otter. And then this is my high school buddy Jim Grady who went to Colgate and I think was president of his flat. He texted this yesterday. Little known secret. I wanted to be rush chair at Sigma Sigma Kai just so I could say hi Jim Grady, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet you. Not joking . Apparently, really did that. Oh my god. Um, yeah. Um, this is a a great Woodsage the best . So they they had this bit in the original script, but they didn't film it with the JFK float. And they had the four people dressed like Jackie Onassis on the day he got assassinated. Oh yeah. But they had this uh they they were gonna have a car go through his head and it was gonna be in the exit wound spot of when he got assassinated and then Landis was like we gotta cut this, it's too offensive. So that's when he was like, we can't do that. But can we what if she was thirteen? Right. Somehow the thirteen was fine. If they had had the car zoomed through his head in the exit wound, I think that would have aged pretty funnily , in my opinion. Yeah. It's just like holy shit, they were really going for it in 1978, but they decided not to do it. And then uh you mentioned the other what's aged the best, Louis Louis , shamelem and ding dong . Shout. The music's great. I had one last age the best. It's Sarah Holcomb's IMDB. Okay. Um Sarah Holcomb is Colette, the the younger. Sarah Holcomb is the uh, yeah, who ends up being Maggie and Caddyshack. Oh, thanks for nothing! She's in four movies, and then apparently sadly had some issues in that of the industry. Her first movie ever is Animal House. And her last movie is Caddyshack . Her second and last movie is some movie called Happy Birthday Gemini. Okay. And then she makes one other movie, and she's the star of Walk Proud. Do you know what Walk Proud is? I'll just read you what it's about. Robbie Benson plays Emilio Mendez, a young Chicano, Chicano gang member in Los Angeles, who begins to question his gang life when he meets and starts to fall for a white girl who encourages him to try and leave? Robbie sang the theme song Adios Yesterday. No. He was a blue-eyed Caucasian in real life, but made up in dark face and wore black contact lenses so he would look like a Latino for the movie. And then all the research is this movie was reviled. This is considered one of the most offensive movies. This seems like a Robbie Benson passion project though. Walk proud. Yeah. Robbie Benson as Emilio Mendez. But if you're like I'm also doing the song, like you gotta be believing in the material. Do we do this for politically incorrect month with Soul Man and a couple others? What if we did Walk Proud with Van, but just like made no comment about how weird it was? Walk proud . Benson is just in his back in this movie. So, but this ties back to the them thinking it was a good idea to have a 13-year-old. This is 197 8. The start of the cocaine era. Their radar is off. Yeah, people are just, it's like, yeah, we got Robbie Benson. He's gonna play Emilio Mendez. That movie was released by Universal. Yeah. By the way, Robbie Benson was like a star because he was coming off one-on-one. This was like his next big project. So yeah, that did not go well. Anyway, those were her four movies. Great shotgoder award, what'd you have? I had the freeze frame of when the horse has the heart attack . There's fucking nothing better. I would say this goes into what stage the best. Putting animals indoors, like large farm animals indoors when you see the four legs just up in the guy break through the chase car lines like I'm gonna free your legs if you ever try to like say measuring the doorway. Oh, it's good. Kahuna burger for uh best use of food and drink. It's gotta be on the zit. It's got whole cafeteria Chess Rockwell Brocklanders award for best character name. I could give you John Blutarsky. What about Mandy Pepperidge? It's pretty good. I have Gregory Marmalard. Gregory Marmalard raped in prison . What do you have for a flex ? Oh shit. Uh I had the Dennis Peck relationship test for Otter . Otter as Dennis Peck? Yeah. With Flounders. coming in being like Dennis back Los Angeles PD damn glad to meet you uh uh Butch's girlfriend award week link in the film other than the 13-year-old. Um , I have minus uh the Greg Mandy Babs love triangle. Is just the the handjobs are funny. I don't know if it either the second scenes about this, and I'm just kind of like, all right, guys, like this is not germ ane to why I'm watching animal the hand job scenes kill me. Yeah. Why is it soft? And he's like, sorry, just this this delta thing's on my mind. Kids 19. All you want to do is get laid if you're 19. Um Um my week link was nineteen sixty-two is now sixty-four years ago. It feels like a fucking lifetime. Yeah. I mean, I D did Ben watch this? Uh Zoe Simmons, my daughter, who's home right now , I sh it was on. She was on her phone the whole time and thought it was too slow, but did enjoy Belushi. Okay. That was her review. Had she seen it before? No. Okay. No. But yeah, if you're remaking this, I guess we did remake it as old school, basically. The Steven Seagal Shitting on Himself Award for most unbelievable anecdote from the actual film shoot. I'm going with uh so they filmed this at University of Oregon, and uh they weren't supposed to interact with the students, but then one day these girls had a fraternity invite them to a fraternity Party. All the Delta actors go. They're greeted with hostility from the Oregon students . Guy Widows, who played Hoover, throws a cup of beer at drunk football players and then up having a brawl. And McGill gets a black eye. Widow's got uh beaten up, had some loose teeth, and then Belushi was filming SNL, came back, found out about the fight, and they had to like physically restrain him from going to find the football players and fighting them. He's a fucking real one. Yeah. Uh I love the detail in the New York Times oral history. I think Widow says he was basically like hooking up with a girl whose dad was a dentist . And he'd so he got in at eight in the morning the next morning to get his teeth fixed. The Ed Norton reverse dunk award for did this movie need a random sports scene? So can I can I get rid of like one of the two hand job scenes and just have like a intramural football scene or something like that? This is exactly what I was gonna say, which is this movie needed to end with a flag football game or a football game, intramural football game to decide whether or not they could stay in college. And I went as far as to just break down 1960. I didn't know you did this. 1960 do football positions. So you got quarterback, halfback, fullback, center garden, and speaker. So Otter's QB. Otter definitely QB. He's probably a good QB. Incredible pocket presence. Kind of Jimmy G a little bit. Yeah. But like would excel in the McVeigh system. Unfortunately, back then it was like 90% runs, but yeah. Halfback, you go boon. Um, I like Rygert. I think he's crappy. Going between the tackles. Fullback, obviously Bluto . Center, I go D-Day , kind of calling it all out, Kelsey style. Sees all the coverage. Interesting. I could see him as a tight end too. Yeah. And then guard flounder. You got to put him somewhere. And then my wide receivers are Hoover and Stork. Stork. What is it? What does widow say? Oh no, Otter when he's like, Stork, when you came here, everybody thought you were thought you were brain damaged. That's Doug Kenny, by the way. Yeah. Um now I don't know what the other team would So but this is basically revenge of the nerds decided, oh, we should actually this will be our ending. Well, this would be if they just remade the end of the longest yard, I would have been like, that's great. Yeah, so you could have gone football, basketball would have been weird, softball. Eh. No, because it feels like it's fall there. It feels like it's it's so rugby would have been the other one, I think. Or you could have done track at Hayward Field at Oregon. That's true, but they're supposed to be at Dartmouth, right? Like this is supposed to be the Northeast, isn't it? Yeah, but there's a there's a shot. The ROTC thing, you see Hayward Field behind them, the big track. Dude, I what among the things that has aged the best is Eugene as a college town. Oh yeah. So a seven v seven nineteen sixty-two intramural football something. To k and it's like, we'll let you stay in school if you win this . Belushi definitely scores Oh, you know what they've also got.. And old school does a big gymnastic. Basically do a decathlon or like Olympic Olympics. Yeah. This movie's still huge at Oregon. I mean, they play shout at in between every third and fourth quarter. Yeah. Yeah. What's age the worst? Um I'm sure the Belushi Boyer stuff wouldn't go over awesome these days. We mentioned the 13-year-old girl and then the Angel Devil scene. Yeah, I had that one one tough. Angel Devil scene, statutory rape, prominent Confederate flag on the wall. Attitudes about animal cruelty . The uh the angel devil scene really hits the jackpot of of things that would never happen again, especially when we find out that how young the girl is. But I gotta say the devil's like, fucker, fucker . Um, I have one more what's age of the worst, which is a personal preference thing, because obviously he was relatively successful around this. I just would love to have seen the Reitman or Ramus version of this movie directed. I think Landis is like this one in Blues Brothers feels so flat to me. Yeah. And he loves to do like a big master shot where there's like lots of sight gags and like recurring bits or whatever. But I just wish it had a little bit more pizzazz with the direction. And I like what he did with trading places. So it's not like I don't like any John Landis movies and I mean Kentucky Fry movie was still like the hardest I ever actually laughed in my life up into that point. But these two like Bluce Brothers and and Animal House are like kind of like a little too static for my tastes. Yeah, Landis , I'm trying to think of like there's coaches over the years that get too much credit for the teams they had. Right. Like Casey Jones was like this. It's like, what a coach. It was like he had Bird Parrish McHale and Bill Walton. And you know, we've seen football coaches like this too, where Mike McCarthy right, we're about to find out. How dare you? Well, Mike McCarthy that one year and it's like Mike McCarthy would have coached, and then you know, he's available and starts bouncing around. And I wonder with Landis , the the people he had on Animal House. Now I'm sure he gets credit for some stuff and he's been really good in the different books of spinning stuff his way and making it seem like he was. Even in the oral history for Animal House, uh races like he immediately started calling it his movie. Yeah. And everybody was like, what the fuck, man? Like we like this is all of our life stories. He's pretty famous for revisionist history stuff. And it seems like a lot of the people that have worked with him aren't that flattering about him after the fact. Yeah. Like Eddie Murphy was another one that really turned on him. Eddie worked with him a bunch. I know, but the last one, Coming to America, he turned on him. And then uh didn't Landis do like the the Bev the Beverly Hills cop that said it like Disney World basically. The bad one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um so I don't know. Well uh obviously he was talented, but I also feel like if if Reitman or Ramus had directed this, I'm sure I'm pretty sure it still would have been funny. There's some some racism stuff that may probably make sense because it's set in 1962, but that when you watched and you're like, oh, what's your major primitive cultures? And then it just cuts right to Otis. It's like ah. Yeah. Well, and like the the mayor has the Long Jockey statue, the Confederate flag. Yeah. Um the only other Woods Age of Worst, this inspired a lot of copycat stuff, including they made a ABC sitcom called Delta House. You ever seen it? No. Dean Wormer was in it. So was Flounder. McGill was in it as D-Day. Widows was in it as Hoover. Michelle Pfeiffer made her acting debut, and then Bluto's brother Blotto , played by Josh Mastel. Zero Mastel's yeah. Yikes. Uh, then CBS decided to do co-ed fever about all female Baxter College, one episode. And then uh Brothers and Sisters on NBC at Frat and Sorority Sitcom three months. I never watched any of these. Okay. And in the late 70s, I watched everything. I was an only child. I did not watch this. The Hans Gruber scale, villain ranking. Needdermeyer or Dean Wermer in the finals. I think Niedermeyer's pretty iconic. Can I make the case for Dean Wermer? Please. He hates these guys so much that he fails them out of college and then says, and I notif ied the local draft boards that you are now eligible. That is like as evil as a guest. I'm actually going to send you guys off to be murdered. Yeah. So I'd vote for him. Nietermeyer does try to shoot somebody during the parade chaos. I will give so then if you say that I'll do the Ruffalo Hannah Rubinek Award, I'll give it to Mark Metcalf for Niedermeyer's Spittle Champion like spitting in Flounder's face during Razi. Well, he they Twisted Sister had the uh we're not gonna take it video. And they bring Niedermeier back to basically play Niedermeier again, yelling at D Snyder. And that that actor Mark Metcalf basically became Niedermeiered. Yeah. It was like we've talked about I think that's a rewatchables category actually in the Flexes. Did you can you escape this Yes? Yeah. This character. Um, all right, we'll take a break and then we'll do uh hot est take. This episode is brought to you by AMC Entertainment Weekly.

All right, the CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford had us take award. What do you got, CR? Can we just talk this out for a second? Yeah. Is this movie or Or is Belushi's career different if he plays Flounder ? If Belushi doesn't do like a Belushi like mega performance, he saves Bluto for the next one? Yeah, or maybe like in you do Animal House 2 and Flounder becomes Bluto or something like that. I know he's probably a little old to play a freshman. Yeah. But I would have loved to have seen Belushi like try one different like sort of speed. He does that in neighbors, which I saw in the theater where he plays the straight man basically. Yeah. And you're just sitting there the whole time waiting for him for him to lose load. The other, the only other one was like literally the Tim Matheson thing where I was just like, this guy does this movie. He's got like like literally like the platonic ideal movie star looks. Goes up for Raiders. It's him, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, and Harrison Ford. Just got market corrected a couple of times. Ended up like by the time we got to the 90s, he's in a lot of those lifetime type of movies. Where's like the dad who's attracted to the nanny? He is like later period probably highlight would be when he's the VP on West Wing. Right. My uh my hottest take, I think this movie caused more copycat damage than any other movie ever made. Damage Yeah, I think it completely wrecked two generations of college kids trying to basically, this was b given thelueprint for like, let's go fucking crazy tonight. They would have done it anyway, but this movie gave them a map. Yeah. To be like, well, we could have a frat. Like they like all this stuff was kind of happening anyway, but I think this movie like was was the gasoline and the fucking match for the city that even outside of Animal House, like outside of the Greek system, there's some influence of Animal House on interior design in houses lived in by like three or more men, three or more guys. Like where you have, we just put an air hockey table that we found on the sidewalk and hung it on the wall. Like you know what I mean? Or like the TV is on a milk crate and we have three movies and we watch them in on a loop. I think this movie killed more brain cells than any other movie ever. In terms of the impact it had on kids going to college in the future? Yeah, I think just kids being like, someday I'm going to college, I'm gonna be like the animal house guys and just going fucking nuts. Casting with ifs, the initial cast wish list, Chevy Chase is Otter, Bill Murray is Boone, Brian Doyle Murray is Hoover, Dan Ackerett as D-Day, and Belushi is Bluto. Um and Lauren wouldn't let that Lauren thing's not true. Okay. I don't think he ever would have not let somebody do a movie. Like Accra it has said, because they based D Day on Accra because he rode a motorcycle and he feels like he should be in this movie, but they're filming it during season three of SNL and Akyroid was like a huge part of the show and he felt like if both him and Belushi were flying back and forth doing a movie, it would hurt the show. And that's why he said he didn't do it. I believe that story more than I don't I just don't think Lauren would be like, you're not doing this. He would have to do it and see how I did now. I mean I'm a little too old probably, but like I would love to try and do like bicoastal potting and just see like if I could do two CRs in New York Monday to Wednesday. Yeah and then I'm back here to do rewatchables Thursday. I'd be dead. Yeah. Like the rewatchables have been canceled this week because Bill died from flying back and forth. Chase turned down the film for foul play, and there's of course Landis and Chase disagree on what happened. Like just absolutely busting each other's balls in the press. Yeah, Landis , who I think does spin stuff toward his version of things, he's like, I didn't want Chase to be in it. I told him it was gonna be an ensemble. And then I'm gonna do foul play. Yeah, I was like, you're not gonna be the star of this movie. And I Jedi mind tricked him into saying no. And Chase was like I was offered foul play with Goldie Hahn. Like, of course I think he was like, as usual, John Landis is full of shit or something like that. John Landis is full of shit as it usually is . Um Ramus wrote the part for Boone for himself, but they decided he looked too old, which is funny because half the people in this movie look too old. And uh I think that was another Landis call and Ramus was pissed off about it. Still mad about it. Yeah. Landis wanted Jack Webb from Dragnet. Bigger question is does Craig know who Jack Webb is? I don't. Did you ever start Dragnet? Tom Hanks did Dan Aykroyd dragnet ? No. Yeah . Two generations removed from not knowing who he is. Reitman wanted to direct but had no directing skills. And they said no thanks. Best that guy award. Really tough because this movie came out 48 years ago, but I went with John Vernon. I think Flounder is a that guy. I don't think people know what his real name is. Yeah, I guess I but he's not in a ton of stuff. Yeah. Um Niedermeyer would be the other one. Yeah. Dion Waiters. I could offer you Donald Sutherland for two and a half scenes. I could offer you Dean Wormer's wife. I could offer you Otis Day, or I could offer you Shelly, the uh the the girl who was Fawn's roommate, who really wanted Otter to feel better about it. The girl is Fawn's roommate crack. That girl's great. She's really good. She's really good, but I'm gonna go with Sutherland just because it is of like a classic Dion Waiters of like I'm in two scenes, everybody's like, that's Donald fucking Sutherland, he's in MASH, and then yeah. I have Dean Wormer's wife. You can get your finger out of my ass. You love drunk witchy. I love drunk and witchy . Great stuff. Um can I is just for casting what-ifs? I mean, I guess this is also casting Couch Director City . The it's pretty legitimate research that this movie was offered to a bunch of major directors. Yeah. So John Schlesinger, who did Midnight Cowboy. Yeah, did you believe this? It's in the New York Times oral history, so I was kinda like, maybe this is true, but it went out at least to Schlesinger, Alan Bak ula, Mike Nichols, and George Roy Hill, and Bob Raffleson. I didn't understand that at all. That's amazing. George Roy Hill directed this? Well, I mean he was probably directed slap shot. It wouldn't have been completely out of the question . I I just can't imagine why any of those people would have done this. Which of those directors do you think would have been like so the thirteen year old sure about the cooler? What are we do Do I hear 15? I forgot to mention Shelly. Two IMDB credits . What's the other one? An episode of Charlie's Angels. Oh, okay. That was it. I thought she was good. I would have liked to have seen her more than that. She was Robbie Benson's Chicano girlfriend. She she dated Emilio Mendez before somebody else. Uh recasting couch director City. What'd you have? I think I would like to see Wrightman do this one for direct. I'd have Reitman as director. Craig Flex Jamie Lee Curtis, a necessary nudity, but I think all of the nudity nudity in this movie is defensible because it's all at the service of these like loser horny college kids. Yeah. So I actually think all of it's fine for 1978, and I and it's totally fine. There's one scene where I'm like, Karen Allen's just bare ass in that one scene. Just I don't know why that's in the movie. And that's why Sutherland's ass is out. Is apparently he was like, I if she was gonna have to take her pants off, I was gonna take my pants out. Like a in solidarity, Suthern area. Yeah. Solidarity. Because the rest is like, sure, Belushi's a creep. He's looking in it. All of it actually kind of works. And then there's just the beginning of a scene. Karen Allen just putting on a dress. We haven't really talked about her and Rigert. In what sense? Just as like they're like in kicking and scre aming in this movie. Like they're in the most like relatable normal relationship. Could have used like one more scene with them. Yeah. Like one last hand job scene. Karen Allen. She looks great in this movie. Really? One of a kind. Yeah. Something really just like fetching and approachable. Did you have a girlfriend in college when you were like, I love the Boston Red Sox and drinking beer and hanging out with my friends? Who was just like, when are you gonna grow up? Yeah. Yeah. Her like pouring beers at the beginning of the movie behind the bar at Delta, you're like, fuck. But is all yeah, like like that was also, she's also like the coolest thing ever. Yeah. That's what I like about the character, is I'm not positive she exists in real life. Sure. Trying to think of any friend, girlfriend I had who was. No, she's like the platonic ideal of a woman in that scene. Um half-ass center research, we mentioned University of Oregon allowed them to use the campus for twenty K, but they were like, Don't mention us. And then all these years later they have like a tour when you go. Yeah. Here's all the filming locations. Then you shout between the third and fourth quarters of every football game. Just don't watch the movie, but no know that we were in it. Yeah. Black extras had to be bust in from Portland due to the scarcity around the college campus. Christ. Wow. In 78? Yeah. Landis brought uh the deltas five days early so they could all bond and they all bond , and then Bruce McGill's room became party central, and then the Omegas were in another part, and they all didn't really like each other. Like it's weird that on a movie like Animal House, they're doing like method acting rules because I I think I read that like Greg Greg wanted to party with them, but it was like, you know, I couldn't really. So like it just put me more into character. And I was like, come on, man. Do you think they took movies more seriously in the 1970s? Because they we made less of them, right? So if you're in this, it's like this is a big deal. We have to now I just feel like yeah, I'm an animal house, then I'm gonna do a a thing on friends and neighbors and then you're just kind of bouncing around. I don't know I think there's also something about like, you know, that this these movies back then like also excelled at like finding unknowns. And so people were probably like, This is my big break. I'm gonna take it seriously, even if it's Animal House. True. Belushi went to local nightclubs during filming, checked out bands, became fascinated by a musician named Curtis Salgato, who wore sunglasses and loved the blues, and it became the Blues Brothers. They almost did a sequel, Craig. It was gonna take place during the 1967 Summer of Love, a reunion at Otter's wedding. Yeah. Which is funny in itself. Otter was gonna get married. Um, but then when a more American graffiti bombed the box office, I saw that movie in the theater. Universal stall is the project. Belushi dies and they're done. Yeah. This would have been it was gonna be set at hate Ashbury. I don't know if it necessarily would kind of into the idea. I mean, yeah, but I it's like it's a different sensibility than the one that was in this one. This kind of like Ivy League prick sensibility. Dwayne Jesse played Otis Day. This is my favorite piece of research. Purchased the rights to the character name that made it up and became Otis Day in the next one. He doesn't do the music in that movie. He's listening. Yeah. And Landis finds out like 25 years later that this guy has been just touring the country doing Otis Days. Like, good for him, I guess. Yeah. Uh Steven Bishop, no relation to my buddy Bish, who was also named Steve Bishop. Um, this is a running joke for us that there were two Steve Bishops. Yeah . He was the guy with the guitar. Oh, okay. Keys had a care he had a career in his o wn. Started dating Karen Allen after they met in the set. Dated for years. Wrote the song Separate Lives Break based on their breakup that became a hit song for Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin. Huh. And was in the movie White Knights. I remember Separate Wives. Yeah . Emotional. Not a great karaoke song. No. Bruce McGill and Tim Madison started Black Sheep. They're the only actors to start Chris Farley and John Belushi. Oh wow. Yeah. And then um Univers al's film president Ned Tannin wanted them to cut the entire black bar scene, thought there would be riots across America. Big argument back and forth. They sent the movie to Richard Pryor, and he sent um Ned a note saying, Animal House is fucking funny, white people are crazy. And that ended up staying. Is this movie really really hit the gamut of weird things to touch. Apex Mountain, Belushi, yes. Yeah . Tim Matheson . I'm gonna say yes . Felt like it like the world was his oyster after this movie. Yes. Cafeteria scenes. Is he also in 1941 with Belushi? Is Mathis in it? He is. Cafeteria scenes . Spent some great cafeteria scenes. Uh yeah. Dining hall scenes. But this is probably up there. This is the best food fight I've ever seen. Yeah, I think it narrowly edges just one of the guys. They make Greg Tolan . Craig didn't like that. It just beats it out, yeah. Barely. John Landis. I think trading places, personally. Yep. I agree. Hand jobs . Why is it soft? I kind of want to Google greatest movie handjobs, but I'm a little worried this is a work computer. Steven first . Yeah, definitely. Definitely. And goes on to play Dwarfman again multiple times. Right. Yeah. Peter Raggard ? No . But I can't off the top of my head think of what it is. Maybe. I think it was Animal House for years, but now I think it's Sopranos. Okay. He dates the Russian hooker. And then Tony beats the shit. College movies, I'm gonna say yes. Togo parties, yes. Do you have a second favorite college movie? Old school. Do you have a third favorite? Road trip. I think Road Trip's excellent. I really like that movie. I think everybody wants some is like way up there for me now. It's getting there. It's it's aging really n.icely Were you ever a PCU fan? Never really. I never really loved Pivin. Okay. Yeah. You've only watched his his television series nine times. Lloyd ! Lloyd ! Cruz or Hanks ? Hanks . I think Hanks. I think Hanks could do otter . Scorsese or Spielberg? This is really tough. Neither of them, obviously. It's two different, entirely different . I think it's definitely Spielberg. He basically tries to do this in 1941 to some degree. Right. Scorsese would be like there's cocaine.' Thsere all kinds of shit going on. It's like the when Belushi's on the ladder, he's just like staring. Picking it. I have a few. Um, does Dean Wormer really need to go digging into the school's constitution to find a reason to expel these guys? They're clearly like a big- If they don't go to class, they're all good to 0.0. We gotta put them on probation. We have to look for all these reasons to get out of the team. Just fucking kick them out. A few of the actors, too old to for college, no question, but I think that's cart part of the joke. Wouldn't Mandy hear Bluto on the ladder or see him? Yes. He's moving the ladder over. And could you actually even do that? It's like a 12-foot ladder. Could you jump it up and move it like that? Uh if um Flounder's brother was also had been in the frat, wouldn't he kind of understand if his car got destroyed on like a frat road trip weekend. Yeah, true. And also, like, I'm not sure I totally understand why Boone's being such an idiot with Katie. Like, guy, Karen Allen, man. Like, what are you doing being? Slick that down. I'm gonna go on a date with a bunch of like Smith College girls for a weekend. Mrs. Wormer goes to the Delta Party? Yeah. Insane. There's no way that happens. She's like, get me a drink. Uh Fawn dies in a kiln explosion. Awesome. What I just need more information. Yeah. So you do your you do you you shape the clay and everything, you put like a lacquer on it. It's just exploded. It kills it. It's like a fucking super oven. Yeah. And they used to have those in my like arts and crafts class. Exploded more information. And it would always be like it was really weird now that I think back about like shop and arts and crafts class when I was a kid because we were around like table saws and kilns and all these chemicals for black rooms for for dark rooms for photos. Yeah. And it was like, yeah, you guys just don't drink that. And don't put your hand in the oven. Right. Why didn't we see Flounder puke on Dean Wormer? I don't know. Big miss. I think this movie's made 20 years later. We see the puke. Yeah. He's like just covered in puke. They'll figure it out. Can you really just buy 10,000 marbles ? Flounder buys 10,000 marbles. Like, think how many marbles that is. I love that that scene is literally one second long. He like cuts them. He's like, 10,000 marbles, please. He just cuts away. And would a store have 10,000 marbles? Could you go to a store right The eat me float car uh it was like a it's like a tank basically I don't I don't know every time they cut to it, it's just completely covered with float stuff. Yeah. And they're Bruce McGill's just driving it around like insane. That whole that whole sequence is so nuts. Yeah. Sequel, prequel, prestige TV, all blackcast or untouchable. Uh I think a sequel could have worked if Belushi hadn't died. Yeah. I think a reunion thing would have been really funny. I think they could have just like this could have just been a franchise where they just kept making animal houses set throughout the decades. But big mistake. I guess they just let other people. I mean, we had four American pies. Yeah . Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins, Fergie the Florida, Zane Lowe, Robert Evans, or somebody else? Boone, here you are, man. Higher education, but we find you at an all-time low. Committing statutory rape. Dinge drinking. Not taking your studies seriously. My my Zane is rusty. I'm sorry. Where do we go from here? And where's your 13-year-old child bride gonna go with you? We were inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis. I had uh I had Dr. Charles Nichols. You'll have to excuse my friend John But sky. He's not feeling well. Um, just want to ask her who gets a balusie ? I guess so. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Probably an answerable questions. Did this movie create double secret probation? Yeah. Was this a term that ex isted before this movie? I'm gonna say it did not exist. Maybe it was taken from c like their college experience, but it is very funny. Yeah. Would you have? Uh did this movie invent not only the sex comedy, but the college comedy, and what were these guys majoring in? Communications. Was that a major back then in 1962? It would have been funny if Pluto was a big political science guy. Well Middle East, man, stuff's happening there. He's pre-med, right? But pre-law, same thing. Did the Omegas create the Illuminati ? That frat the Frat hazing was pretty soft. It's really real, you know? Kubrick got eyes wide shut from that scene. This is my big one. Was Greg gay? I guess so. It's possible. Two of the hottest girls at that. Mandy and Babs. That's yeah. Those are your hot wouldn't have was that was against premarital sex and could barely get it up for a hand job in the car and on a thing. Just have some suspicions. Seem really, really interested in the in feuding with the deltas.. I don't know, Craig Very repressed. Yeah. Yeah. Something's going on with him . The uh memorabilia you'd want from this movie. So many choices. This is easy for me. It's uh the fishbowl boobs from behind the bar? I had the uh the college sweatshirt Belushi work. Yeah, that's a great one. That's good one. Which you can get uh I mean everybody ripped that off since you can buy that. I was actually gonna try to speed rush that to wear that for the pod Um couldn't figure it out. Coach Finstock, Mr. Miyagi, best life lesson. Don't get mad, get even. You know, I had your only young once. Hmm . Double feature. Old school. I have revenge of the nerds. I've never seen Revenge of the Nerds. I I thought it was a good thing that will ever be a rewatchable. Hard to find. As soon as it's streaming again, it's gonna be a rewatchable. Come on, Ted Sarandos. Come on, Ted. Do the right thing. You love comedy, right? Uh yeah, you're a big comedy fan. What do you have for double feature? Uh God. I guess it's old school, yeah. Fairly old school. Another way, a good one would be Project X . Project X for the debauchery, yes. You can go neighbors, I guess. It's a great one. But yeah Fucking Ben had a Project X party at our house. He did? Yeah. Was it a what do you mean though? Like a themed party or it was like a project X party? It was supposed to be $125 people and it turned out to be 400 in the book. When did this happen? Uh two months ago. You fucking kept that under the rug? Really? Yeah. Well, I was mad about it. And Ben was and Ben was uh not happy about it. And then six months later, he's like, it's like when I had my project next part of my tried to do it. You motherfucker, Ben tried to do the look dad, no one's more disappointed about this than me. He did. He played all the fucking tricks. Was it like kids from other schools started showing up people throwing up at the streets? Disaster. But he Ben's a masterman. I think he did all the things. But did anything go wrong? Did anything burn down? Did anything go right? Nothing burned down. Um the cops did come. Are you still finding like cigarettes in random places and stuff? It's the maddest I've ever been at him. But I should have known. But now the thing is he could never have a party here again. I should have showed up like the dean's wife. You probably I honestly wouldn't have been surprised. Would have been amazing if we were like, I heard about this party tonight. Weird to film . Who won the movie? Uh Belushi. Belushi. Craig, give us your thoughts. I love this movie. I like it more now than I ever have. When I watched it, whatever, 10 years ago, closer to Zoe's opinion. I was like, okay, it's a little underwhelming, maybe it's the pacing is just different, the way it's cut. But I don't know why watching it, I I had an absolute blast. It's such a great hang. Cause it's a hang movie, which is rare now. It's not really there's not like a lot of like hard jokes, punch lines in this film. It's more like dirty, dazed and confused. It's you know what it is too, is it's uh it's just short stories. So like until the last 30 minutes, there's basically no coherent it's not really a plot. You know, it's like here's all these funny things that happen to these guys in college, and then at the end it's like they have to stay in college. So there's gonna be a parade. Yeah. It's just more about the hang. And the move-this movie, for all of it's, you know, that's like it hasn't well in certain ways, but it's just like your fun drunk uncle who is hilarious and you just put up with like when was the last time you'd seen it before you watched it for this? Every couple years. I'll I'll jump in. Um I like the the interplay between the guys, like there's real friendship in this movie, which I think a lot of movies have borrowed since. I think it's actually just quite well acted. I think it's underratedly well acted across the board for how dumb this movie seems like it is. Yeah, Matheson, um Raggart. Ragard's great. They're all right. I think he's really funny in this. Yeah. And I think movies back then compared to comedies now. Like I don't know. E even though this movie's about a lot of stupid stuff, like there are a lot of commentaries on society and what's going on across the country? And now I think comedies are a little bit more siloed in what they're trying to say, and they're more just about like the punchline on the screen. There's also like it comedies are a little bit more high concept now. So it'll be like this is a comedy about how like a guy will die in five days if he doesn't meet the love of his life. I just watched a com uh a college movie on Hulu Pizza Movie, which is starring a stranger thinks kid and it's about like a kid in a dorm who takes drugs showing a pizza. And it I mean, it is what it but it's like it's not saying anything. It's just a fun crazy comedy about a guy taking drugs in college, but it's not it's it's not wider than the very narrow scope of the movie. Right. And these movies back then we' justre we're different. They're actually thinking some Watergate Vietnam Nixon stuff in here too. In in smart ways that's not over the top like what we have now. Yeah, and I think that the their sort of umbrella excuse for the way that this movie and I, you know, the 13-year-old stuff is almost so beyond the pale, but like they're like we it was an equal opportunity. We made fun of everybody. Yeah, you know, kind of thing. I also think sometimes when you have to work within parameters, the movie gets better. Like, you know, the script was apparently way, way, way raunchier than it actually was. But universal kind of putting like l like guardrails on the movie, I actually think ends up you have to make it work and actually make it funny for it to validate being in the film. Yeah. And it can't just be Ronci for Ranchi's sake. Because there's like rape scenes apparently that they cut. Yeah. So I think sometimes when you have kind of the off-the-wall style and you pair it with a studio and you have to kind of land in the middle, sometimes it is the best outcome. It's a movie magic, baby. It's a classic. That's it for comedy month. We ended up doing four quote-unquote politically incorrect movies. Something about Mary, Tropic Thunder, Borat, Animal House. Yeah. Four movies that definitely push the envelope for different ways. Honestly, Borat. Yeah . I was just you missed that episode. You were at a Heifetz's wedding. Borat just I was on the treadmill and I almost fell off like four times. I don't know why. It just fucking kills me. It's really But all of them I thought held up really well. Um I think there's something about Mary is has we've been with that movie now for twenty eight years. So you know all the bits, but it's still Warren still makes me laugh. Um, especially when Warren came back in the last Survivor episode. Did you see that? Uh Jonathan's brother came back dressed like Warren. That's right. Yeah, it was amazing. Um com uh comedy month though. Pretty fun. What's next? So we're doing um we're gonna do summer from hell starting uh starting next week. All movies that are dot dot dot from hell. We've talked about this for a long time. Um you want to announce the June 1st movie or no? Yeah, we're so the first one is gonna be 2001, Computer from Hell. Um, and then Netflix, Netflix uh licensed a bunch of movies for this so it's gonna be and I don't know if we're gonna do all of them but Hand That Rocks the Cradle Single White Female Good Sun uh Pacific Heights which I don't know if they were able to license that's the one I was most excititeded about about. Exc that one. Domestic Disturbance, which is in the running for funniest, unintentionally funniest movie of the 2000s. Yeah. And a bunch of others. So though they're all on there. So from how it might be last longer than a month. Okay. Might be like a month and a half. What a way to ring in the world cup. Some mailbags as well. Yeah. In honor of our World Cup people. All right. Thanks, Craig. Thanks, Cahau. Thanks, Chris Ryan. See you next week in the rewatch.. Later Two Good and Co.
