[Music]
0:09
hello and welcome to another episode of so you think that was good do you a
0:15
podcast where we take a look back at the films from your childhood and question the absurdity of their universes apart
0:22
from this week my name is Evan and as always I'm joined by Carl and a man who
0:28
is nothing but a liar it's Sam he's here
0:34
got anything to say for yourself SAM I I'm not here so no nothing to say at
0:40
all I will ask you boys how you are but it feels wrong after we've just had all that
0:46
terrifier talk yeah we just brought the mood right down haven't we yeah
0:52
I wasn't even the second one but I definitely will be giving that a watch this week we're going to be doing a
0:58
little bit of a trivia tournament and I'm gonna pass over to Carl here to give us the rundown I don't know why I'm
1:04
speaking like this but I am all right so we're I'm the trivia Guru
1:10
of this podcast As We Know usually with about 70 accuracy I'm guessing as I spend most
1:16
post episodes messaging you saying turns out that thing I said was wrong boys do
1:22
you know Sam's not here this week so we're gonna test your trivia on all the movies we've done so far Evan I am
1:30
teacher term has ended and we're gonna have a little pop quiz let's see if you've been listening end
1:36
of season one baby oh is that what this is so we get a break can I please stop We Roll straight
1:43
into season two in my family in months
1:52
should we get straight into it boys um yes please go on as well hello and welcome to so you think you know about
2:01
those movies we watched do you oh concise Evan question one oh Arnold
2:09
Schwarzenegger was considered but not picked for roles in three films that
2:15
I've written reviewed I don't know if we review movies we watch movies we relay the plot of movies we've seen I
2:24
read reviews at the end of episodes we do better than them that's true try naming two you get a point for each you
2:29
get two guesses it was a point system oh this is much more put together than I thought it was going to be uh two guesses and I'm gonna
2:37
write them down anywhere but well annoyingly Arnold Schwarzenegger has become a bit of a running joke so in my
2:45
mind he was the pick for all movies we've watched oh no this is this is genuine
2:50
like yeah yeah I'm gonna say Jumanji
2:58
which I'll do both okay Jumanji um I'm not giving you any hints and Mrs
3:03
Doubtfire oh the man is on the money too was it wow oh all done
3:10
very nice our third was done chip hazard in Small Soldiers oh God yeah he pretty
3:16
much just said Robin Williams films yeah if Robin Williams wasn't cast Arnold
3:22
Schwarzenegger would have been in these films well done thank you well that feels good are we keeping track of these
3:28
points because now they've become important to me no you know you're doing well so mystery guess what are you
3:34
keeping score I I will try I'll do my best okay cool okay well I'm only here for this episode
3:40
as a mystery guest so I don't really care what I get Sam which of the movies we have reviewed
3:48
was the lowest grossing not adjusted for inflation I was saying
3:56
oh not adjusting for inflation yeah I wasn't putting that much effort into this
4:01
okay I feel like it's more likely to be an older one then
4:08
um I remember Labyrinth didn't do great so tempting to say no actually you know
4:15
what I'm gonna go for and this could be a bad choice but I'll go for League of
4:20
Extraordinary Gentlemen that's a good good call is that what
4:26
you're thinking too Evan um trying to work my way through it how do
4:31
you boys want to do this do you want me to hand these over if you get them wrong or uh yeah you can hand them over because
4:36
if we I mean I'm going to take that as a a very subtle hint that I might have [ __ ] up
4:42
still early Evan um okay then I'll join me to make my guess now or do I wanna you wanna wait till Santa's correct or
4:49
incorrect okay let me just find out Sam is incorrect
4:55
lowest grossing I reckon is The Frighteners and why do you think that Evan
5:02
I just don't know who that movie was for so I feel like the box office would have felt the same way
5:08
you're both wrong oh okay at least you weren't right yeah yeah I'm not gonna
5:14
tell you this I can recycle these for the next time we do this no it was it was mimic
5:22
oh that makes sense okay is that four too yeah but I don't know it's um it's what's his
5:27
name pretty good director yeah but this was his first movie um yeah okay fair enough and even like
5:34
if you've been to see it would you have recommended it to a friend the big bug I did see it and I've not recommended it
5:40
to anything I saw it and I recommended it to you too and you haven't let it go since so no
5:47
[Laughter] oh God I'm excited now come on hit me
5:52
Evan which character from the films we've watched
5:58
has appeared in both Universal and 18 rated movies which character
6:05
come on don't come on me no I
6:11
no I can't I'm not saying anything uh The Mummy I mean now you've said that this is
6:18
where we're going to see the minimal effort be an issue but that is not the answer I was thinking of okay well I'm
6:23
happy to concede that but that does make sense right you said it yeah
6:30
specifically same act to same character oh okay um Sam well I feel like okay you want to
6:37
take this one on It's gotta be machete can I see Evan's face as he goes oh yeah
6:43
obviously obviously yeah yes
6:49
it is Machete who originated in Spy Kids and then was then in well machetes and
6:56
Death Race I think yeah and all the following machetes that's a good question did we agree that Sam will get
7:03
points for that or yeah yeah okay nice let's keep it interesting I'm in the game I'm gonna thrash them too hard
7:09
Samuel oh yeah it's me again I love this game it's always sound when
7:18
I've been writing these I've been trying to find as many ways to just write which of the movies we watched so Sam
7:24
which movie from our catalog was so bad that the lead actor never
7:31
worked again oh come on that's easy catalog makes it sound like there is
7:39
somewhere a physical like folder containing physical I don't know like
7:44
vinyl discs of our episodes as much as I'd love for that to be the case
7:49
and I think it is um I mean I might be missing something with this but I'll say Sean Connery
7:57
well Evan looks mad he's not enjoying this game anymore as it goes 2-2 [ __ ] that he got that point when I
8:03
got it wrong yes so that was for a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which famously
8:09
he hated and the director uh also never worked again uh I think I stole that
8:15
from the Sun Mr I stole it from the MR Sunday movies
8:22
episode from this week got it we've never made it a secret that we
8:29
brutally rip off basically every aspect of Mr Sunday movies except for the accents yet it was interesting listening
8:37
to their episode on it because they're usually pretty positive about movies they really dug into her yeah and
8:44
without going back and listening to our episode I feel like we were a bit more forgiving I I enjoyed this
8:49
um I enjoyed watching it and I enjoyed our episode I liked watching it I don't know I can't remember if you two had seen it before but I had yeah I still
8:57
had the happy childhood memories of it's a superhero movie I'm gonna enjoy myself yeah this was one of my yes I enjoyed it
9:06
yeah I'm not saying it it's Stellar in any way but it was one of my go-to's when I was younger and watching it again
9:11
now just brought that feeling back baby it's good oh good question though I don't think we're a complete rip-off
9:18
do you want the next question in green trivia [Laughter]
9:24
Westworld Evan in Hocus Pocus what has to happen for
9:30
the witches to return a virgin must light the black flame candle
9:38
on Halloween correct oh nice oh I thought there was
9:45
more coming I I mean well remembered um I was so confident with that first part when he said when he motioned for
9:51
me to continue talking I froze right up
9:57
yes um yeah that's why I remembered I would I think I would have said reading out of the book I've watched number two
10:04
when it came out fairly recently so I still need to watch something like that that was it unless we're gonna do an
10:11
episode I'm waiting for a good podcast to do a Hocus Pocus review in the null what's number two it was okay
10:19
it's uh not as good as the first one it's very very Disney but it's fine it's fine to watch I
10:26
didn't hate it I wouldn't recommend it necessarily I don't think you'd get the same feeling even Khloe wasn't kind of non-plussed by
10:32
it I don't have the Avid kind of interest that a lot of people do
10:39
James and the Giant Peach too I'm in there there's so much more fruit to get
10:44
through James and the Giant passion fruit next oh you can't go passion fruit second
10:52
I don't want to be inside you've got to be nectarine you'll be on dragon fruit before you know it
10:59
okay Samuel yes which of the movies we've reviewed exists within the
11:05
Ghostbusters Canon uh uh um well
11:12
I think I remember Dan aykroyd's showing up for Casper so I'm gonna say Casper
11:20
and he ties it up through all look at Evan scrolling away oh yeah I'm looking at our movies I'm
11:27
not cheating how are we doing compared to were you
11:32
thinking we'd do better worse that was the first one where I thought you would struggle to be fair I did not
11:38
remember danaph right in that movie yeah he played the the mayor right
11:43
no no he shows up as a Ghostbuster that's the ghost I think he shows up as himself then they run in and they walk
11:49
into the house and then run straight back out okay so I'm making he was the mayor in evolution which also has a
11:56
weird link to the Ghostbusters because it's the same year yes yes I was
12:01
thinking about Evolution but had to stop myself yeah
12:06
no we never released it I would love to revisit it see if we could do something with it because what does he say Carla
12:16
how does he call the bird the pterodactyl I'm asking the [ __ ] questions okay sorry
12:24
like go to sleep and it's really gonna annoy me Evan what are the four seasons of the Jumanji
12:31
universe [Laughter]
12:38
best joke we've ever had let me work through it okay one is monsoon definitely what is jungle when is
12:45
Christmas the fourth one the last the best
12:50
oh one of them was just like a bite off so I could get the joke in the episode
12:56
jungle Monsoon God it's it's not period is it I
13:02
didn't stoop that low it is not handing over to Sam oh earthquake
13:09
oh whole boy incorrect
13:17
what a spring summer autumn winter [Laughter]
13:28
oh I still think about that joke sometimes and just crack up laughing at it I will
13:35
get that that was the first bit of merch we ever make if we ever make much yeah oh that is incorrect from both of
13:43
you Sam wonderful chip Hazard yeah is the
13:48
leader of the Commando Elite name two other members um
13:54
oh God damn it the Commando Elite I can picture them
14:00
I can picture the guy grabbing onto the back of the bike and having his legs chopped off and going down the sink in
14:07
the all of that is what was his name though his first name's got to be something
14:14
like buck and then you're closer than I expected
14:20
it's all going to be puns isn't it yes but shottington and
14:27
slug rifle I don't know I just I don't know pass
14:32
Evan I'm just gonna say two of the most generic Soldier names I can think of
14:39
buzz kill and rip saw
14:45
I mean you're wrong but they would fit yes yeah so we had Nick nitross
14:54
Butch meat hook who is the guy on the back of the bike right brick bazooka
15:01
link static and Kip kiligan oh I didn't I don't think even at the time I knew
15:06
kept killigan but link static great name oh the the comms guy yeah
15:12
that was a fantastic name yeah iconic film great bad guys the best
15:18
that we've seen so far Tommy Lee Jones that was one of the ones that on rewatch
15:24
I went yeah this is better than I remember I thought it was good but it's better
15:29
than I remember before we started this I always looked back and thought Tommy Lee Jones was a
15:35
minimal effort actor but he is really he is fantastic in both films we've seen him in so far yeah he's
15:42
fully lent into the characters all right he went full chip hazard and yeah
15:48
K to Perfection okay that episode last week made me go and watch Men In Black
15:54
three have you seen International I refuse yes me too okay I'd love to know what it's
16:01
like Evan speaking of Men In Black what are the names of the four worms
16:09
is it oh come on Java beans frappe and mocha
16:14
B Nebo sliebel Gibble and Mannix C earth flat ring and Jim or D nobody knows
16:22
did you come up with those options I'll tell you afterwards okay because they are excellent all of
16:28
them are you got the really alieny ones you've got the worm-based ones and you got the coffee they love coffee
16:35
oh this is there's an earthworm gym reference in there big respect for that
16:40
nobody knows it's B nible sliebel Gable and Mannix
16:46
and yes I did come up with those I was very proud that's excellent going over to Sam I'm gonna say B
16:51
[Laughter] oh this is why Evan's usually in charge
16:57
[Laughter] I wouldn't have got that I think I would
17:02
have gone for the first ones your boys have fallen off a cliff it's still three all
17:08
it was like this for bad reviews and then towards the end Sam just thrashed me
17:13
that's because mine were way too hard Sam in Scooby-Doo what was the gang's final
17:20
case before splitting up at the beginning of the movie what was there a
17:25
was it given an official to have a title oh
17:31
I know where it was and if I think really hard I can think
17:36
of the name of the baddie um or can I
17:44
you know I don't think I can my memory is actually that [ __ ] that with a recent episode
17:50
and I don't want to show my working because now I've already Ed does know I know
17:55
this one yeah he's sitting there and he knows it before you pass Sam this question comes with a bonus point
18:01

18:06
oh God damn it oh I just need give me just give me a minute I'll cut out the minute of thinking time
18:13
oh what is that [ __ ] ghost called the
18:20

21:23
knit cliff C Wood let's see what foreign
21:30
oh no that is a great story that's a good story isn't it maybe I'll tell you two points tell that story
21:38
it's very embarrassing makes me look very dumb which I am on this podcast already does I suppose hang on let's
21:44
look in your answer first okay let's hear the go on Carl sorry I'll cut you off that it is yeah that was cliff C
21:50
chord what was this c word story but I used to work at University in
21:59
Evans Cycles which is already hilarious for everybody who was walking into the store not one customer gave up the
22:06
chance to go Evan Evan Cycles was it your store mate great stuff so that's
22:12
the kind of level I'm working at there and you have to take people's details when you're selling them bikes and [ __ ]
22:18
for some reason you've got to log all of them into some freaking database so this guy's buying his bike and
22:25
getting it done up in the shop and I was behind taking his details and he said his name was Michael C wood
22:31
I heard Michael C word and start typing in Michael [ __ ] as you do because I just
22:37
thought it's not my place my girlfriend's fiancee's last name is Dicks you know if
22:43
I make a big fuss about this I've got to make a big fuss about that but luckily he was next to me and saw me typing in
22:49
Kent and went no C Ward s-e-a-w-a-r-d and he was on his way this is the only
22:57
context where you could say luckily he saw me writing his surname [Laughter]
23:05
you caught on straight away that I am just a dumb [ __ ] I know you're trying mate but my name is
23:13
actually this [Laughter] is so good just someone the idea of
23:20
someone introduces himself as c word the catch on to that that he would be
23:26
abbreviating the last name whatever like so
23:33
oh what a story if you're out there Mike Big Ups to you man thanks for not ripping into me hope
23:40
you're enjoying the podcast love that story I don't it keeps me up at night it's one of those thoughts that catches
23:46
you when you're in the shower and you let your guard down for a minute it catches me as well but I love it it's
23:53
hilarious we are heading into our last four questions
23:59
is it technically possible for me oh if Evan fails all of his questions and I
24:05
get all of mine uh you also have a bonus point in one of yours
24:11
maybe a bonus two points if I'm feeling generous Evan how many movies have we watched
24:17
containing killer insects okay let me show my workings
24:23
mimic killer insects is that the main antagonist or just are you like trying
24:29
to get me with this some rare breed of African mosquito in one of these movies that counts
24:36
I'm sorry what nothing movement Men in Black
24:41
am I allowed to look at our list of movies no gonna give Sam a chance here
24:48
okay I'll close the folder you don't need to name the movies just tell me I'm just counting to them in my head
24:55
oh it's hard going back week by week four
25:01
so mimic Men in Black Jumanji which has the giant spiders and
25:07
the giant mosquitoes and mosquitoes yeah technically spiders
25:13
aren't but yeah oh were there mosquitoes did I just imagine
25:18
they were no yeah you are correct I can't remember what my fourth one was
25:23
I think it's incorrect anyway I think I was thinking Mortal Kombat but that's not a bug that's a lizard
25:29
okay so no I was wrong I mean you got the number right oh what
25:35
was the other one scarab beetle oh The Mummy wait was that not one of the ones that you said I don't think I said that
25:42
mummy no uh dead I just asked for the number Men in Black
25:48
well you got it right there didn't you okay I feel bad taking that point but I will take it I really want to get you on
25:54
a technicality now and think through one of the films that you've missed somehow but yeah
26:00
because I don't know mosquitoes exist in all of the universes
26:05
this is why we don't usually have you on yeah I can't wait till Sam's back
26:12
so this is one that I won't be handing over by the way of just let you know now
26:19
could have killed someone sorry go on [Laughter]
26:25
what are the names of the two Realms competing in more [ __ ] hell competing
26:30
in Mortal Kombat [ __ ] sake well I feel like
26:37
Earth Realm and you can't throw this over to us
26:43
I won't be damn it uh I'll go with Earth realm and
26:50
what the hell is the other one called um [Laughter]
26:59
have bouncing in his chair like Hermione Granger
27:05
I do know this one just so you know
27:10
oh [ __ ] um
27:16
the Nether world I don't know pretty close
27:21
Earth realm and outworld yes outworld scorpion is from the nether Realm
27:29
ah this is where you might have gotten that other idea I got that from absolutely nothing
27:36
and made it up for a bonus Four Points Christ
27:42
complete this quote this Mortal Kombat quote Sam where's laughs
27:51
is it a point per letter is it Kano oh and he's brought it back
27:58
thank you oh yeah definitely not definitely not
28:05
some artificial steaks being thrown in here oh I equalized it with one question each left what were the chances I would
28:12
never have gotten Kano to be fair I was trying to think of actual movie quotes trying to be this no no at all
28:22
that's a great episode I uh that was a good episode I almost wanted to do the same thing and
28:29
just make one up and get you to do a um complete this sentence from a movie
28:36
don't you mean oh Melvin do now Stuart Little
28:44
nonsense oh okay stunned perfect absolutely I was
28:49
kind of wrecking my brain thinking do they actually say that at some point I decided to be fair-ish and not do that
28:56
don't you mean Melvin do boys final question each and we're tied at
29:01
eight all yeah I did this this is completely Fair stop Shake in your head
29:07
Evan which movie accidentally hanged their lead actor
29:12
it is oh I feel like I'm gonna say it but
29:18
I think I'm getting confused with two different accidents on set
29:23
The Mummy right yes the mummy it is the mummy in the scene where he's
29:29
in the prison and they attempt to hang him and they actually hang him well good he broke his back during number two
29:36
number two yeah yeah yeah Sam foreign for two points that's a joke
29:45
Kevin don't worry Sam oh this whole contest is a [ __ ] joke [Laughter]
29:54
what issue did they have with the animatronic snake in Anaconda oh this is a good one
30:00
it was um it couldn't go underwater right it would short Circle or something yeah so they
30:08
made an animatronic snake to go on a boat that wasn't waterproof
30:13
and it started freaking out and almost injured a bunch of actors that's so good
30:22
hilarious boys we've reached the end of our quiz and it's nine all what do we do is there
30:27
some sort of I don't need to do this well
30:33
tune in next week I think I think I'll uh step down
30:42
gracefully and allow Evan to have this I reckon we can come up with a quick tiebreaker
30:48
okay well so either way and sweet I think you've taken the win
30:53
I'll do this right now boys last week's movie was Men in Black
31:00
that wasn't the question do you get the point 1997. remember
31:06
who's made on a budget of 90 million dollars how much did it make back closest wins
31:13
poor I think 250 million
31:20
I don't think it's anywhere near that high I'm gonna hit say
31:25
169 million nice nice yeah
31:31
oh and Evan has hit it right on the nose
31:36
589 million dollars there's no way [ __ ] near mate but
31:41
closest wins you win 589. that's crazy
31:47
Christ a lot of money but we've watched too many movies that bombed and it skewed my perception of
31:55
what a successful movie is because that's mine you know it was successful because we still have to deal with
32:00
sequels pretty much to this day yeah that's true wow there's a lot and
32:07
