[00:00:00] Paul Scheer: Listen up piss head, if you want a romantic comedy, look no farther. We saw My Date with an Angel. So you know what that means?
[00:00:23] Music: [Intro Song]
[00:00:46] Paul Scheer: What's up people of Earth and what's up people of Minneapolis? We're live for the first time ever in Minnesota. And while it might be a little cold outside, we are here to warm your heart with a romantic comedy about a man with a brain tumor who falls in love with an angel with a broken wing. Now, there's so much to say about this movie that came out in 1987. Is it a Splash ripoff? Yes. Even though the people behind the movie said, we wrote it way before Splash, but it came out after. So I don't believe that that is true. But we're gonna break down everything and we have so much supplemental material.
[00:01:51] I can't wait to dig into this movie, but before I can, I must introduce you to my co-host. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas!
[00:02:08] Jason Mantzoukas: What's up jerks?! How we doing Minneapolis? That's what I'm talking about. Minnesota, we came here.
[00:02:24] Paul Scheer: Jason.
[00:02:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Huh? I'm exhausted already. It's cold.
[00:02:32] Paul Scheer: It's cold.
[00:02:32] Jason Mantzoukas: It's cold.
[00:02:33] Paul Scheer: A great cold. A great cold. I wore gloves. Loved.
[00:02:36] Jason Mantzoukas: I loved it.
[00:02:36] Paul Scheer: Loved it.
[00:02:36] Jason Mantzoukas: It was brisk. It was brisk. I loved every God minute of it.
[00:02:41] Paul Scheer: I, I walked here. I loved every minute of it.
[00:02:43] Jason Mantzoukas: I walked here.
[00:02:44] Paul Scheer: Jason.
[00:02:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Paul.
[00:02:47] Paul Scheer: Top three movies of 1987.
[00:02:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Date with an Angel. Date with an Angel. Date with an Angel.
[00:02:55] Paul Scheer: You would be right. I will say this.
[00:02:57] Jason Mantzoukas: I remember it well. 1987.
[00:03:00] Paul Scheer: 1987 is a great year for this show.
[00:03:02] Jason Mantzoukas: I was 15.
[00:03:03] Paul Scheer: Wow. All right. There you go. Great year for the show. Beverly Hills Cop two. Platoon. Fatal Attraction. That's not on our show. That's the top three movies of the year. But listen to this.
[00:03:13] 1987. Garbage Pail Kids movie, Hard Ticket to Hawaii. Miami Connection. Tough Guys Don't Dance. Munchies. Running Man. Superman Four. Hello, Mary Lou. My Demon Lover. Made in Heaven. Jaws Four. Over the Top. And Masters of the Universe.
[00:03:35] Jason Mantzoukas: No, wait a minute. And in that list we did Munchies.
[00:03:40] Paul Scheer: We did all those.
[00:03:41] Jason Mantzoukas: What? We've done all those movies?
[00:03:46] Paul Scheer: We've done all of those movies.
[00:03:47] Jason Mantzoukas: All of those sound terrible.
[00:03:51] Paul Scheer: 87 Great year for movies and I cannot believe we've waited this long to talk about this one. A movie that was in my memory, but I never saw, and I wanna see if someone else might have that same memory. Please welcome my other cohost, miss June Diane Raphael.
[00:04:26] Welcome, June. How are you?
[00:04:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I get it. It was the angel. I missed it. I wasn't paying attention for a second.
[00:04:41] Paul Scheer: Oh, that was amazing. You know what? As a matter of fact, it makes me wanna just jump into one of the supplemental clips I have, but I'll wait. June, where do you fall? Do you remember this movie?
[00:04:54] June Diane Raphael: So when it started, I said to Paul in the hotel room, I said, I feel like I've seen this before.
[00:05:00] And I have, I, I had an experience watching it where I was like, I have seen this movie before. This is the worst thing I've ever seen. This is my favorite movie. I love this movie. How long do I have till it's over? I hope it never ends. Like I really was fraught. The whole time.
[00:05:22] Jason Mantzoukas: This movie is a roller coaster ride. At every turn, I was like, oh, it's not what I, wait a minute. Wait, who is this? A love story for?
[00:05:32] Paul Scheer: The fact.
[00:05:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait a minute. Wait, who are these people?
[00:05:35] Paul Scheer: The fact that the entire movie changes on a dime in the last two minutes.
[00:05:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:05:41] June Diane Raphael: I couldn't believe it.
[00:05:42] Jason Mantzoukas: And it explains everything.
[00:05:43] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:05:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Everything gets explained in 30 seconds. Then hard cut to credits. I was like, wow. Okay, movie.
[00:05:52] June Diane Raphael: That's the thing. This movie goes there. This movie takes risks and there's a, like a woodland nymph scene and there are I think like baby lions?
[00:06:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, there's a skunk.
[00:06:08] June Diane Raphael: There's a.
[00:06:08] Jason Mantzoukas: There's, there's, she, I believe she suckles a fawn. I'm 90% sure.
[00:06:15] June Diane Raphael: Yes.
[00:06:15] Jason Mantzoukas: That Emmanuel Beart suckles a fawn.
[00:06:20] June Diane Raphael: Yes.
[00:06:20] Paul Scheer: This movie was not cheap because they're on a giant soundstage and they're literally doing live action Bambi. I mean, the way that those, they're living amongst creatures like legit, like a bear. Like you can't just be hanging out near a baby bear because when you hang out near a baby bear, the mama bear is gonna be close.
[00:06:40] Jason Mantzoukas: When you, but that's what I'm saying. When you are watching, when you are rather watching the beginning of this movie and they're in the town and they're doing this, you don't even imagine.
[00:06:50] June Diane Raphael: You don't know shit.
[00:06:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Act three.
[00:06:51] June Diane Raphael: You don't know shit.
[00:06:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Be a Snow White in the, in the forest, nuzzling animals and then becoming an angel and flying around and then zapping people with lightning.
[00:07:04] I was like, hang on.
[00:07:05] June Diane Raphael: And pushing people. Pushing people hard.
[00:07:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. You're an angel.
[00:07:10] June Diane Raphael: Kicking people in the ass.
[00:07:12] Paul Scheer: June.
[00:07:13] June Diane Raphael: Oh, I'm sorry. Heine.
[00:07:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Heine. Heine. Heine was used so much. I wrote it down each time because I was like, we need to bring heine back. We need to be like, Ooh, check out the heine on this one.
[00:07:27] Paul Scheer: I mean, let's take a look at the Heine clip 10.
[00:07:31] Movie Audio: Come on, come on. You gotta show yourself.
[00:07:34] You kicked me my heine.
[00:07:37] Where are you? There's no need for this. Don't do this. Nobody ever kicks me in my heine.
[00:07:46] He did what?
[00:07:50] He hit me Daddy. And then he kicked me in my heine.
[00:07:54] Your heine?
[00:07:57] Jason Mantzoukas: What?
[00:07:58] Paul Scheer: Someone sat at a typewriter, not even a computer, and was like, yep. Heine. Heine.
[00:08:05] Jason Mantzoukas: My guess.
[00:08:06] Paul Scheer: Heine.
[00:08:06] Jason Mantzoukas: My guess is it was written longhand and somebody was handed pages and was like, da. Oh, again, just transcribing four henie in a row from multiple people.
[00:08:21] June Diane Raphael: Now I have to say, I think that Phoebe Kates deserves an Oscar for this.
[00:08:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Give her.
[00:08:27] June Diane Raphael: Give her.
[00:08:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Give her every Oscar. Give her an EGOT.
[00:08:31] June Diane Raphael: Please.
[00:08:31] Jason Mantzoukas: She's up in here looking like a millennial who is eating ass.
[00:08:35] June Diane Raphael: She
[00:08:38] Paul Scheer: Is that blood or dirt on her face?
[00:08:40] June Diane Raphael: It's dirt.
[00:08:41] Jason Mantzoukas: She face planted after the heine kick.
[00:08:42] Paul Scheer: I thought it was blood too from getting kicked.
[00:08:45] June Diane Raphael: It's so crazy 'cause I don't know it. There's so much to talk about. I'm so worried about time. I'm like, dude, are we gonna have enough time? And, and the time. Not on, which is also why I'm worried out.
[00:08:53] Jason Mantzoukas: We are in no time.
[00:08:56] June Diane Raphael: But I think the movie wants us to believe that she's the wrong choice. But she's, she's so, so goddamn appealing and so wonderful.
[00:09:06] Paul Scheer: She's acting oddly, the most normal out of anyone.
[00:09:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Here's the thing, here's the thing. The movie should be about Phoebe kates, who is being like blown off by her fiance.
[00:09:19] June Diane Raphael: Traumatized.
[00:09:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Who he, he is leaving her high and dry for an angel. I'm so sorry. No.
[00:09:28] Paul Scheer: But I would argue.
[00:09:29] Jason Mantzoukas: In Splash, does he have, is he engaged? Is he getting married, right?
[00:09:33] June Diane Raphael: No.
[00:09:34] Paul Scheer: No. He.
[00:09:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Why give him, why?
[00:09:35] Paul Scheer: Well, here's what I would argue that they even make a weirder and worse choice, which is he's not in love with her yet. Like I feel like in the beginning he's like, I just wanna take care of her.
[00:09:47] And then he falls in love with her. So I feel like his instincts are true. Like, I just wanna help this angel, even though he made out with her when he thought he was asleep. But I feel like he has nothing on tour until he's.
[00:09:59] June Diane Raphael: You seem really okay with that.
[00:10:00] Jason Mantzoukas: When he thought, when he thought he was dreaming, when he thought he was dreaming, he was like, I guess I'm in a dream.
[00:10:05] Paul Scheer: He did say, I think I'm in a dream.
[00:10:07] Jason Mantzoukas: You know what? He doesn't think he's dreaming when he double peeps at her when she's in the water. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are we going here?
[00:10:15] Paul Scheer: To me, we are. I think that that was the moment he finally fell in love. I was like, you needed to get to that moment?
[00:10:20] Jason Mantzoukas: In my mind. In my mind. I'm like, how is this angel gonna bring and heal he and Phoebe Kates back together, right? Like, how is nope. How is the, Nope. The angels like my guy. Goodbye.
[00:10:35] June Diane Raphael: And that's what's hard too about the angel character. Or maybe she's human and that's what happens. I don't know. But I, it's so hard because I never thought that she was that into him until the very end. Like I was like this angel, he's misunderstanding, like she just likes smooches. Like she loves to kiss. And.
[00:10:56] Paul Scheer: Right. She does come down.
[00:10:58] Jason Mantzoukas: She loves smooches?
[00:10:59] June Diane Raphael: Yeah. She loves.
[00:10:59] Jason Mantzoukas: That's the Tee. That's the t-shirt.
[00:11:01] June Diane Raphael: She just loves smoochies.
[00:11:02] Jason Mantzoukas: She just loves smoochies.
[00:11:04] Paul Scheer: Just an angel. A silhouette of an angel and goes, I love smoochies.
[00:11:09] June Diane Raphael: Because from the moment they met, she just seemed to wanna kiss him.
[00:11:13] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:11:13] June Diane Raphael: But it didn't seem like she, I guess I felt like she'd wanna kiss anyone if she was in that close proximity to them. And if they weren't trying to like throw a net around her and steal her.
[00:11:25] Jason Mantzoukas: If yes, as long as they're not, this is a movie that exists in a timeframe in which the lead guy is always like, I'm a guy. I am trying to be better than than my past, or whatever.
[00:11:36] Paul Scheer: Right.
[00:11:36] Jason Mantzoukas: And all of his friends are complete psychopaths.
[00:11:39] June Diane Raphael: Okay. No.
[00:11:40] Jason Mantzoukas: All of his friends in this movie are murderous psychopaths.
[00:11:43] Paul Scheer: They treat her like an animal.
[00:11:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:11:46] Paul Scheer: Like an animal or a baby.
[00:11:48] Jason Mantzoukas: It's ET. It's ET and Splash like together. They even do a phone home joke.
[00:11:54] June Diane Raphael: Yes, they do.
[00:11:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Phoebe Kate says drop dead at one point.
[00:11:57] June Diane Raphael: Yes, she does.
[00:11:58] Jason Mantzoukas: As if it's, she does as if it's Drop Dead Fred. I was like, what the fuck is going on?
[00:12:04] Paul Scheer: Well, I'll say this. You know, just to even walk it back. The beginning of the movie starts with what I'm assuming is God saying, go down there, you gotta get your man. Go get him. He's ready. And I'm like, okay. And in my entire time I was like, oh, he was an angel and they're gonna go like, I didn't think that this man was dying. Like, that's the twist. It's like the reveal. Go get that dying man. And if she, so was he gonna die the night of his bachelor party?
[00:12:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. No. Yeah. Yeah. The night of the engagement party, she is supposed to, at the very end of the movie.
[00:12:40] Paul Scheer: He shows no symptoms.
[00:12:41] Jason Mantzoukas: We find out she was sent to Earth to collect his soul so that he can ascend to heaven.
[00:12:47] Paul Scheer: Then why doesn't the guy mention having a headache once? He, he falls asleep a couple times.
[00:12:54] Jason Mantzoukas: He does.
[00:12:54] June Diane Raphael: Does.
[00:12:54] Jason Mantzoukas: He does. He does repeatedly talk about headaches and he keeps trying to take pills.
[00:12:58] Paul Scheer: Oh, I saw him take pills.
[00:12:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:12:59] June Diane Raphael: He does.
[00:12:59] Paul Scheer: But it's weird. It seems like he's hungover.
[00:13:02] June Diane Raphael: It's because he's hungover. Yes. We, we think he's been out, out for a night of drinking.
[00:13:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Nobody's listen to him. Nobody is believing that he has crippling headaches, even though he says it repeatedly.
[00:13:10] Paul Scheer: Okay. I, I don't remember that. And, and that's how.
[00:13:13] Jason Mantzoukas: I just thought of something.
[00:13:14] Paul Scheer: Yeah.
[00:13:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Do you think she's trying to kiss him and it's the kiss of death?
[00:13:19] Paul Scheer: Oh.
[00:13:21] June Diane Raphael: Oh.
[00:13:21] Jason Mantzoukas: But you think that's why she keeps trying to kiss him?
[00:13:25] Paul Scheer: But she, she does kiss him right out the gate.
[00:13:27] June Diane Raphael: So she doesn't really love smoochies?
[00:13:30] Paul Scheer: Smoochies equals death.
[00:13:31] June Diane Raphael: I, you know, that's really interesting.
[00:13:33] Paul Scheer: Is more for the grim reaper, right? Like a soul sucker.
[00:13:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Like a.
[00:13:38] Paul Scheer: Like a death eater.
[00:13:39] Jason Mantzoukas: I, I, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, if the angel comes to take you away, do they? I mean, I wouldn't mind if they gave me a smooch. I wouldn't mind.
[00:13:49] June Diane Raphael: Everybody loves smoochies.
[00:13:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Death and ascendancy to Heaven was greeted with a kiss with smoochies.
[00:13:55] June Diane Raphael: That's lovely.
[00:13:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:13:57] Paul Scheer: From a stranger?
[00:13:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Who looks like a Emmanuelle Beart? Yes.
[00:14:02] Paul Scheer: Okay.
[00:14:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, 100% who I very first saw in the French movie, Man De Source, which was played in my high school French class and featured quite a bit of nudity.
[00:14:15] I was like, I'm so glad I took French.
[00:14:18] Paul Scheer: This is all I'll say. I also took French. We didn't have anything that exciting, but I did once, uh, bring in for a school project as a kid, Clash of the Titans, and that had nudity and no one knew even myself. And we didn't know how to react to it because we were too young.
[00:14:37] We were in fifth grade and all of a sudden, boobs. And it was like, ah.
[00:14:43] Jason Mantzoukas: So you didn't know?
[00:14:44] Paul Scheer: I didn't know.
[00:14:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, that's great.
[00:14:45] Paul Scheer: And, uh, and the, and we just. All collectively agreed that we didn't see it. Like the class, like Ooh. And the teacher never mentioned it. 'Cause I think the teacher was afraid that she would've gotten in trouble.
[00:14:59] June Diane Raphael: Yeah.
[00:15:00] Paul Scheer: If she didn't vet Clash of the Titans. But honestly, why were there boobs in Clash of the Titans?
[00:15:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Why aren't there boobs in every movie?
[00:15:11] Paul Scheer: Here's what I'll say about this movie though. They set up a gun in Act One and they pay off the gun in Act three, which is. It was so odd to be in this fancy house with a gun rack, like a old school, like Midwest. Yeah.
[00:15:27] Jason Mantzoukas: When she falls down the stairs holding a shotgun, I was like, what the fuck are we up to right now?
[00:15:36] June Diane Raphael: But it's also a loaded shotgun. Like that shotgun is loaded in. You hear it in a closet? Yes. In like a hallway closet.
[00:15:42] Jason Mantzoukas: And this movie, this, every single person in this movie, movie is absolutely out of control. Crazy. She, her father is sexually obsessed with her. Until he meets the Angel.
[00:16:01] Paul Scheer: He's obsessed with the angel, like he's very easily swayed.
[00:16:05] Jason Mantzoukas: It's all business for him. See the, the engagement party. Um, I, when, when Phoebe Kates comes down the stairs past the giant portrait of herself, which I would pay thousands of dollars to own the portrait of Phoebe Kates that is in this movie. Not a reproduction, the actual painting from this movie.
[00:16:27] I was like, this is incredible. When he starts pulling out the makeup or the whatever, the ad campaign and grabbing her, and I was like, what the fuck is going on here? This is Phoebe Kate's this movie. And it's not, it's not, it's not at all.
[00:16:44] June Diane Raphael: And he's purring at her, which was so stressing.
[00:16:48] Jason Mantzoukas: So creepy.
[00:16:48] Paul Scheer: It's, and it also felt like this is their engagement party. There was no one under 60 in that room. I was weirded out about that. But then as, as you're taking that in. As you're loading that into your head, all of a sudden you see terrorists in a car and you're like, wait, hold on. What? And, and, and we've already just come from heaven.
[00:17:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:17:10] Paul Scheer: So we're like, heaven, engagement party, terrorists. You're like, it is, that's five minutes.
[00:17:17] June Diane Raphael: That's, that's to me why this movie's a masterpiece because it's.
[00:17:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:17:23] June Diane Raphael: It's going places now. I did, yes, did I think to myself, I wonder if it's his bachelor party, but for a second I didn't know. And I was like, oh, is this gonna be like an elderly bloodbath? Like what? What is gonna happen?
[00:17:37] Jason Mantzoukas: This is fun. If this is the movie.
[00:17:39] June Diane Raphael: Yes. This is fun.
[00:17:39] Jason Mantzoukas: What a blast. Uh, if, if it's terrorists come and kidnap the groom.
[00:17:44] June Diane Raphael: Unexpected.
[00:17:45] Jason Mantzoukas: The groom who's outside in the rain playing harmonica like he's fucking Bruce Willis in 1987 with a blues career. I was like, what's the fuck?
[00:17:55] June Diane Raphael: So well, this is what I couldn't understand.
[00:17:56] Paul Scheer: The wine cooler.
[00:17:57] June Diane Raphael: I mean, keep in mind the whole time he's dying of a growing tumor in his head, but which sort of explains.
[00:18:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Reframe his whole arc.
[00:18:04] June Diane Raphael: Behavior. Yeah.
[00:18:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Knowing that he has the tumor. You almost believe the angel was a vision.
[00:18:09] June Diane Raphael: Absolutely.
[00:18:10] Paul Scheer: Well, that would be great if they, if no one else saw her. But she's very much real.
[00:18:13] June Diane Raphael: That's true.
[00:18:14] Paul Scheer: And she very much is an angel. Like that tumor is just the reason that she's there. But she is real. Make no mistake.
[00:18:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.
[00:18:21] June Diane Raphael: But, but I'm trying to really understand what's happened to his music career because he's gone to college.
[00:18:29] Jason Mantzoukas: He's a composer.
[00:18:30] June Diane Raphael: A composer. But I think, I think his tumor has stopped him from composing.
[00:18:36] Jason Mantzoukas: I think so.
[00:18:37] June Diane Raphael: Wow.
[00:18:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, so I think he has like lost his way partially because of the headaches and partially because, I don't know, but he.
[00:18:45] June Diane Raphael: It's been slow growing.
[00:18:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:18:48] Paul Scheer: But then.
[00:18:48] Jason Mantzoukas: This slow growing tumor that is now going to kill him except for an angel's kiss.
[00:18:54] Paul Scheer: But I also don't really get anyone's character because like, how would you describe him? Is he a partier? Not really.
[00:19:02] June Diane Raphael: Not really.
[00:19:02] Jason Mantzoukas: He's nothing. He's a, he's zero.
[00:19:04] June Diane Raphael: Yeah. He's dying of a brain tumor.
[00:19:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:19:06] June Diane Raphael: That's the only thing we need to know about him. We can't know him.
[00:19:09] Jason Mantzoukas: His most interesting character trait is not revealed until the last literal minutes of the movie.
[00:19:13] Paul Scheer: And, but then.
[00:19:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Boy would it have been great to start with, I guess God's voice. Then we cut into boop boop. It's not looking good. Uh, Jim? Yes. Jim is his name. Is his name. Jim.
[00:19:23] June Diane Raphael: Jim Bob.
[00:19:24] Jason Mantzoukas: It's not looking good. Blah, blah, blah. And he's like, well, at least I have the love of a, of, of a, of a good woman. Great. We're getting married. Great. Okay. Phoebe Kates is there now. He's like, oh no, an angel is here. Okay, now this is interesting.
[00:19:35] Paul Scheer: But the first time we meet him, yes, he's in the rain, completely dry. I feel like they didn't really wanna get him wet to do retakes, so they're like, he's he is. The umbrella got him. It's like he would be soaked.
[00:19:47] Uh. And he, and we meet him. He is like, funny guy. Like it. This is, and I, and, and no offense. I I love this actor. This is for me.
[00:19:56] June Diane Raphael: I thought he was wonderful.
[00:19:58] Paul Scheer: This is Tad. Tad.
[00:20:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Who?
[00:20:02] Paul Scheer: Tad. Tad from All My Children. I grew up with Tad. I thought Tad was the coolest. I don't think Tad is a comedic actor.
[00:20:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. And Tad, I, I'm, I'm sorry, I don't know the actor's name, so I'm just gonna keep calling.
[00:20:16] Paul Scheer: Michael Knight.
[00:20:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Ta. I don't care.
[00:20:17] Paul Scheer: Michael. Okay.
[00:20:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Tad is his name now. You know, because I will say, and I alluded to it, but the movie shares so much in common with Splash that it is shocking. Truly shocking. But Splash has Tom Hanks.
[00:20:33] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:20:34] Jason Mantzoukas: The absolute charm of Tom Hanks is gonna get you pretty far. And Tad is, doesn't have that charm possibly because the brain tumor is pushing, pushing against the part of the brain that that gives you.
[00:20:49] June Diane Raphael: It's charming.
[00:20:49] Jason Mantzoukas: But I'm not rooting for him mostly. Mostly because he's fucking over my girl, Phoebe Kates.
[00:20:56] June Diane Raphael: That's the thing. He's.
[00:20:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Seems to wanna hang out. He wants to hang out more with the party ninjas.
[00:21:02] June Diane Raphael: He's really set up to fail and, and I was so ready for the scene between the Angel and Phoebe Kates. I was like, I need this. I need this scene. I need this reconciliation. I need this healing for all of us. And we never got it. And it was so hard.
[00:21:19] Paul Scheer: Can I also ask a question about Splash and I, I forget Madison in Splash, that's Darryl Hannah's character. Does talk a little bit, right?
[00:21:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:21:29] Paul Scheer: Right.
[00:21:29] Jason Mantzoukas: And has a name.
[00:21:30] Paul Scheer: Right.
[00:21:31] June Diane Raphael: Yeah.
[00:21:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Has a name and talks. Two things that are denied.
[00:21:36] Paul Scheer: It's a romcom without one person who speaks. And it's like.
[00:21:41] Jason Mantzoukas: They can't have chemistry.
[00:21:42] June Diane Raphael: So hard.
[00:21:43] Jason Mantzoukas: They can't have chemistry if all she, if her only choice is to be like, to just be constantly leaning in.
[00:21:51] Paul Scheer: To give a death smooch. That's the shirt. Death smooch.
[00:21:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Time. Time for you to die.
[00:21:58] Paul Scheer: But I think that they try to get Tad to be interesting. 'Cause when you first see him, he's like doing that baseball play by play.
[00:22:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Oof.
[00:22:05] Paul Scheer: And, but that's like, it's too long and it's not funny. And it's not funny for multiple reasons. But I would say one of them is, what are we, like, what are we trying to get from that? Like, I don't even get that he's carefree.
[00:22:18] June Diane Raphael: It's so hard because, uh, he's set up like that, that moment we think it's Phoebe Kate's movie, but like, when she comes out to get him, I know we're supposed to think this guy is hot and charming and, but for me, I'm like, get inside. Go in.
[00:22:36] Paul Scheer: A fucking engagement party.
[00:22:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Does he?
[00:22:38] June Diane Raphael: Yeah. Whatcha doing? Get inside.
[00:22:40] Jason Mantzoukas: It's suggesting.
[00:22:40] June Diane Raphael: Infuriating.
[00:22:41] Jason Mantzoukas: It's suggesting that he has cold feet and I don't know why. Or if he does.
[00:22:46] Paul Scheer: Right. Or he's, he's harm harmonicaing here comes the bride into a funeral march.
[00:22:52] Jason Mantzoukas: He's pouting.
[00:22:53] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:22:53] Jason Mantzoukas: He's pouting for reasons that are never explained. I feel like the movie wants us to think. They shouldn't be together. Him and Phoebe Kates, he doesn't wanna be married to her. He's just waiting for his angel to, I think that's what, that's why he's equivocating or something. But it doesn't make sense because I'm immediately on her side and I'm like, this fucking piece of shit sucks.
[00:23:14] June Diane Raphael: I think, I think.
[00:23:14] Jason Mantzoukas: I'm serious. Fuck this guy.
[00:23:16] June Diane Raphael: I felt the same way. I felt the same way.
[00:23:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Fuck this guy. I hope the devil comes and marries Phoebe Kates.
[00:23:21] June Diane Raphael: I can't believe, by the way, I'm gonna blame this on Phoebe Kates, but I really think that role was written, she's a model. She's supposed to be super close to her dad. Well, she models in the ethereal campaign.
[00:23:33] Paul Scheer: No, I think her dad was like, you are my perfect model. Come here. Smooch. Smooch. Like I feel like.
[00:23:38] June Diane Raphael: Don't do that to me again.
[00:23:40] Jason Mantzoukas: I don't like that.
[00:23:40] June Diane Raphael: Don't do that.
[00:23:41] Jason Mantzoukas: I don't like that.
[00:23:41] June Diane Raphael: Don't do that.
[00:23:42] Paul Scheer: Because I mean, clearly the dad is.
[00:23:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Smooch. Smooch.
[00:23:45] Paul Scheer: The dad is, Ooh, smooch. Smooch. The dad is.
[00:23:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Let's, let's all hope all of us tonight later are like, how about a little smooch, smooch?
[00:23:53] Paul Scheer: Smooch, smooch. I feel like the dad wants her to be a model. And the reason why the whole company's going down the drain is 'cause they react so negatively to her face. The company's going under because of her face.
[00:24:05] June Diane Raphael: Okay. But this is, but I know all of this. Okay. But I think I know all of this.
[00:24:09] Jason Mantzoukas: I know all of this.
[00:24:09] June Diane Raphael: I watched this, I understand.
[00:24:11] Jason Mantzoukas: An expert on this movie.
[00:24:13] June Diane Raphael: This I know. But I think again, that's what the movie's showing us and I think that's probably how it was written. I think she was also probably written to be a little frumpy. Like the red dress I think was supposed to look ill-fitting and unflattering on her.
[00:24:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Especially later. She's in like, she appears to be wearing men's briefs over pants at one point.
[00:24:35] June Diane Raphael: But unfortunately, like she just always looks beautiful. And even when she's called to just like. Be shrill and reacting and screaming because she's Phoebe. Kates we're always on her side, charmed by her.
[00:24:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes, she's the most charismatic performer in the movie. Full stop.
[00:24:55] June Diane Raphael: It just.
[00:24:55] Jason Mantzoukas: You can't take your eyes off of her. She's hilarious.
[00:24:59] June Diane Raphael: And she does an incredible job with what she has. I mean, she also says the line that it's something like my dad's acting like a, he's in a real poo poo mood. And I, after she did it, I really thought to myself, okay, June, if you saw that in a script, like how do you, how would you approach it? Like what you have to say it, it's, it's in there. You have to say it. Like you have to find your way into that.
[00:25:23] Paul Scheer: Aaron Sorkin wrote it. You can't change it.
[00:25:25] June Diane Raphael: You can't change a goddamn thing. You have to say it. And I was like, I don't think I can. I don't think I'm, I'm good enough to do that. So she's truly one of the best we have.
[00:25:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Truly.
[00:25:36] Paul Scheer: I will say this.
[00:25:37] June Diane Raphael: One of the best we have.
[00:25:39] Paul Scheer: No, of course. Our love for Phoebe Kates is, is well documented in this podcast, but I do wanna point out one thing about her that when she gets kicked in the heine, her response is, where's my gun?
[00:25:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:25:55] Paul Scheer: Like her immediate response is, yes. Now I'm gonna shoot you.
[00:25:58] Jason Mantzoukas: I'll show you, I'll show you. Where's my rifle?
[00:26:01] Paul Scheer: Yeah.
[00:26:02] Jason Mantzoukas: She has a shotgun.
[00:26:03] Paul Scheer: She says, where's my rifle? I'm gonna kill you.
[00:26:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:26:05] Paul Scheer: For kicking me in the heine. That was after Kick one, not even kick two. She's ready to kill this man.
[00:26:12] Jason Mantzoukas: No, she is. By the way. I wish she had.
[00:26:14] June Diane Raphael: I did two. I was.
[00:26:16] Jason Mantzoukas: I wish.
[00:26:17] June Diane Raphael: Let's go.
[00:26:17] Jason Mantzoukas: She had killed Tad and then she and the angel fell in love. That's a movie I'm gonna think about in the hotel later.
[00:26:30] Paul Scheer: But can we talk about, I think the most charismatic, the most charismatic trio. Are the party ninjas. The party ninjas.
[00:26:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Holy shit.
[00:26:44] Paul Scheer: I love the party ninjas because they are not cool. They seemingly aren't that fun and they're real dumb. And like the bachelor party seems to have been for four people.
[00:26:56] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:26:57] Paul Scheer: And there might have been women there because when they come in they're like, let's see this woman. It's like.
[00:27:02] Jason Mantzoukas: No, I think that's the, the, they had like a 16 millimeter porno called the tender bartender.
[00:27:09] Paul Scheer: Are you being serious?
[00:27:10] Jason Mantzoukas: I'm so sorry, Paul. Did you not see that the tender bartender was featured prominently?
[00:27:15] Paul Scheer: I was too busy looking.
[00:27:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Or maybe it was the blow up doll.
[00:27:19] Paul Scheer: I was looking at the pin the tail on the donkey and I was like, that was part of the bachelor party?
[00:27:26] Jason Mantzoukas: That's the worst bachelor party in history.
[00:27:30] June Diane Raphael: But also.
[00:27:30] Paul Scheer: And they all left him.
[00:27:31] June Diane Raphael: I, I know this is like neither here nor there, but, in terms of like the cadence of wedding events, it was too early for a bachelor party. Like we're just doing the engagement party. We've just announced this.
[00:27:43] Jason Mantzoukas: It also Oh, I see.
[00:27:45] June Diane Raphael: It's not the night.
[00:27:45] Jason Mantzoukas: I agree with you because I, the minute they were saying, oh, it's your bachelor party, I was like, oh. Is the wedding in the next few days?
[00:27:53] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:27:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Is this imminent? Are we, is the clock ticking now? Is this movie gonna end at a wedding by the way? It should have. Wouldn't that have been much better?
[00:28:02] Paul Scheer: Nope. In the forest.
[00:28:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Nope. Yes. None.
[00:28:05] Paul Scheer: Baby deers. Get me more baby deers.
[00:28:07] June Diane Raphael: In a clubhouse we have no reference for.
[00:28:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Perhaps no movie in our entire history have I thought every step of the way. I understood where this movie was headed and.
[00:28:17] June Diane Raphael: You were wrong.
[00:28:18] Jason Mantzoukas: And it is not.
[00:28:19] June Diane Raphael: You were dead ass wrong.
[00:28:20] Jason Mantzoukas: The party ninjas get, I'm gonna say 40 legitimate news outlets to show up, to show up to someplace called the Press Club, where they live in the suburbs. So that they could debut an angel from Heaven.
[00:28:38] Paul Scheer: But meanwhile, meanwhile, the party ninjas seem to run a theater where they could have simply held a.
[00:28:46] Jason Mantzoukas: They do?
[00:28:46] Paul Scheer: Well, they're, oh.
[00:28:48] June Diane Raphael: They are.
[00:28:49] Jason Mantzoukas: You mean the place where they're, that's located? That's the press club.
[00:28:52] Paul Scheer: No, no, no, no.
[00:28:53] June Diane Raphael: Guys, their home, I think is the party ninjas live above like a theater set shop.
[00:29:01] Paul Scheer: Oh, okay.
[00:29:02] June Diane Raphael: So they don't run that theater. That's just where their loft is.
[00:29:05] Jason Mantzoukas: You mean George and Rex and the other guy, or just hanging out above a. None of it makes sense.
[00:29:10] Paul Scheer: By the way, I, this is a small issue that I have with the Party Ninjas. Our main guy, our bachelor Tad, when he wakes up drunk with the, with the, uh, inflatable girl, he, his tie is just slightly askew. His tie never came off for the bachelor party. Nor did it get very skew. It was sort of like the first move that you make if you get in the car. Like, ugh. It, it just stayed in like a, it was still very high up on the neck. He looked un partied.
[00:29:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, he was fine. He looked totally fine.
[00:29:45] June Diane Raphael: Well, except for the brain tumor.
[00:29:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. Except for the gigantic brain tumor. Then splash, we hear a splash.
[00:29:53] Paul Scheer: Splash.
[00:29:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Water pours into the apartment. Pours in.
[00:29:56] June Diane Raphael: Listen, I'm no scientist, but when we, when we go back out to that pool and see the water displacement.
[00:30:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:30:05] June Diane Raphael: From her 120 pound body.
[00:30:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Not even.
[00:30:10] June Diane Raphael: Not barely.
[00:30:10] Paul Scheer: The wings.
[00:30:11] June Diane Raphael: With the wings, the 20 pounds. But she has lifted out, like, I wanna say, four feet of water.
[00:30:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah. It's, it's six inches of water in the house.
[00:30:23] June Diane Raphael: Okay. I thought about it for so long 'cause I'm like, well, you are falling from heaven. So that's a, that's a certain amount of force that's coming down. But.
[00:30:32] Paul Scheer: Did her wings break? Like, I'm assuming she was flying and she may have hit like a power line. Like, so I don't think that she fell from that high.
[00:30:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Hold on a second.
[00:30:40] June Diane Raphael: Whoa.
[00:30:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Hold on.
[00:30:41] Paul Scheer: Oh, whoa, whoa.
[00:30:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Hold on. There seems to be a consensus.
[00:30:44] Paul Scheer: Who has the answer?
[00:30:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Somebody here will know.
[00:30:46] Paul Scheer: Sir, what's your, what's your, what's your name?
[00:30:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Paul be, be careful of the man, man in a, put her in a bra shirt.
[00:30:51] Paul Scheer: I knew he was safe 'cause he was in official merch.
[00:30:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Really, be careful.
[00:30:55] Paul Scheer: All right. Why is her wing broken?
[00:30:57] Audience Member: Because she hit the satellite.
[00:30:59] Paul Scheer: Oh, she hit the satellite
[00:31:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Somehow, I missed that.
[00:31:04] June Diane Raphael: I missed that too.
[00:31:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Somehow we all missed that. But all of you watched it.
[00:31:08] Paul Scheer: Keith, tell me what happened.
[00:31:10] Audience Member: So she's sent on her merry way by God, and she's headed towards Earth, and then all of a sudden a satellite comes outta nowhere.
[00:31:18] Paul Scheer: Do we see this?
[00:31:19] Audience Member: Yes. Oh, and then.
[00:31:20] Paul Scheer: When? It's a POV show, okay, we have a lot.
[00:31:24] June Diane Raphael: Who's POV? The satellites?
[00:31:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Satellite's point of view?
[00:31:27] Audience Member: She was like wearing a GoPro. That's the footage we saw.
[00:31:30] Paul Scheer: Wow. How did I miss this?
[00:31:32] June Diane Raphael: Oh God. We all missed it.
[00:31:34] Jason Mantzoukas: You know what?
[00:31:34] Paul Scheer: Sometimes I don't pay attention during the time.
[00:31:35] Jason Mantzoukas: This movie sounds a lot better from Keith's point of view.
[00:31:38] Paul Scheer: Okay, so she broke her. So this is kind of a commentary on Star Wars, not the movie, but the, the arms race satellites in the sky. You know, it's very prescient. Uh.
[00:31:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Reagan. Reagan era Star Wars.
[00:31:52] June Diane Raphael: Wow.
[00:31:52] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:31:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:31:52] Paul Scheer: So that's how she breaks her wing. She falls. All right. So a satellite's higher there.
[00:31:56] Jason Mantzoukas: I just wanna to say if, if you don't mind me, just backing up for one second to the party.
[00:32:00] Paul Scheer: Please.
[00:32:00] Jason Mantzoukas: When Tad is pouting out in the rain. Phoebe and he is embarrassing. 'Cause these are not young people.
[00:32:08] Paul Scheer: No.
[00:32:08] Jason Mantzoukas: They should have been. This movie would've been better if they were all in high school or something like that if they were young.
[00:32:14] Paul Scheer: Sure.
[00:32:14] Jason Mantzoukas: You know what I mean? But they are old, old enough to know better and he's pouting in the back. She comes out there and she goes, you know, they all hate you.
[00:32:25] Paul Scheer: Yeah.
[00:32:25] Jason Mantzoukas: You know, everyone in our families hate you.
[00:32:31] Paul Scheer: And then he goes.
[00:32:33] Jason Mantzoukas: And I do too. I'm with everyone else. I also hate you, Tad.
[00:32:38] Paul Scheer: But it's such a lazy writing too, because the way they make Phoebe Kates unlikable. He is like, I know. No more fun. Like she's always saying, no more fun. And that's like a weird thing.
[00:32:50] Jason Mantzoukas: And the party ninjas are actively trying to sabotage her.
[00:32:54] Paul Scheer: Right.
[00:32:54] Jason Mantzoukas: In a way that's like, you know, I think like Toxic Beyond Georgia is a true psychopath.
[00:33:03] June Diane Raphael: Yeah. When they came out with that net was.
[00:33:09] Jason Mantzoukas: What? The the party ninjas are the government in ET.
[00:33:14] June Diane Raphael: Absolutely. Absolutely.
[00:33:16] Paul Scheer: They are like animal control trying to capture this. But first of all, they're trying to market the angel to this guy. I don't know who the fuck this guy is. They're trying to sell the angel, the angel's yet not a commodity. It's like me trying to sell ET a year before ET comes out. I'm like, and he is a little guy, big eyes, phone home. I'd be like, what? What are you talking about? Like, you can't pre-sell. I know like merch, like we got the bumpers stick, we got the shirts. For what? For what?
[00:33:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh no. And they don't even have her yet because their big thing is like, we gotta get her in a net and then we'll lure her away with french fries. We got a french fry. I was like, these fucking maniacs need to be put down.
[00:34:02] Paul Scheer: But what I do like.
[00:34:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Phoebe Kates should be shooting these guys with a gun.
[00:34:06] Paul Scheer: But what I do like about them is that they do provide a dress code for the press conference. Yeah. You guys can dress casual. To the press? You tell the press how to show up? Like never. Is it like, uh, yes. We'll be covering the event. What's the dress code? Oh, okay. Casual. Okay, got it. All right. Got it.
[00:34:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Can you imagine?
[00:34:25] Paul Scheer: Uh, hey, uh, we're doing a formal press conference. Tad does camera. You gotta wear a tux. Ah, not again, you know.
[00:34:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Can you imagine a world in which you have a for real angel. Now you also have a catastrophic brain tumor, so who knows? But you have a for real angel. You go into a church with an angel and the priest is like, go tell it to the Baptist. The church would be so excited to have an angel. They would be like, we fucking get it.
[00:34:59] Holy shit, it's real. They would be so excited. She's up there doing angel shit and he is like, I don't wanna look at, get outta here.
[00:35:10] Paul Scheer: Well, that's the thing with this movie.
[00:35:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Interestingly, there was the, in a, on a newspaper headline, it said that priest from that church was moved to a different parish.
[00:35:18] June Diane Raphael: Because of that.
[00:35:19] Paul Scheer: Well, he only moved to a different parish to get better weed.
[00:35:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. And you'll notice when he was around, Rex was like, I don't wanna hang out with him.
[00:35:27] Paul Scheer: Him smoking weed.
[00:35:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Too far? Minneapolis what? Minneapolis. Very religious town. Oh no, don't say that.
[00:35:38] Paul Scheer: That was the thing that was so interesting. It's like whenever there is a choice to make a, you don't need to make it weirder. Like, that's a priest. He's holding confession. Let's give him a joint. Wait, why? Why are we overcomplicating it? Because we are dealing in a world of such crazy fantastical nature, and I'm all for it. Like, yes, she's an angel, but no one questions it, it's like she's an angel. Got it. No one's like check her wings.
[00:36:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:36:04] Paul Scheer: No one has a, no, she's not. She's just a kook. Nope. Okay. Yeah, she's an angel. She's an angel. Everyone bought it.
[00:36:09] June Diane Raphael: It's like, it's like everybody in this movie has been waiting for this and it's just like, happens to be today, but it's not, it isn't really a surprise.
[00:36:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Or it's like there's other angels.
[00:36:19] June Diane Raphael: Right.
[00:36:20] Jason Mantzoukas: It's a world in which there's lots of angels and we just got one here. I mean, that's not the case, but everybody does feel very okay with it.
[00:36:26] June Diane Raphael: I'll say, I thought she handled some of her comedic beets quite well. The french fry sequence.
[00:36:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Great.
[00:36:32] June Diane Raphael: I laughed at, you know?
[00:36:33] Paul Scheer: Was she upset?
[00:36:34] June Diane Raphael: I had a laugh at.
[00:36:35] Paul Scheer: The hamburger was made of meat?
[00:36:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Gotta be.
[00:36:38] June Diane Raphael: Had to.
[00:36:38] Paul Scheer: But how would she even know?
[00:36:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Or that it was a deeply out of season unripe tomato slice on it. The tomato slice was like mostly yellow in the middle. And I was like, this is a scathing indictment of Wendy's.
[00:36:53] June Diane Raphael: So.
[00:36:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Scathing. I also don't think it was a square burger, was it?
[00:36:57] Paul Scheer: No.
[00:36:57] June Diane Raphael: No, it wasn't.
[00:36:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Not a square burger.
[00:36:59] June Diane Raphael: So please no, that Paul and I, someone, his mom had bought us a, uh, like private sushi chef for our first year anniversary. And this woman.
[00:37:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Paul's.
[00:37:09] June Diane Raphael: Woman.
[00:37:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Paul's head is gonna pop right off.
[00:37:12] June Diane Raphael: This woman arrives at our apartment many years ago and she's not Japanese.
[00:37:17] Paul Scheer: My mom was like, I know you guys love sushi. So I got you a private sushi chef at your house.
[00:37:23] June Diane Raphael: Long story short. It's a little uncomfortable to have this person in our home and Paul and I are like doing small talk with her and I'm like.
[00:37:31] Paul Scheer: Can I also say the most uncomfortable thing about it? And, and not to be offensive in any way. It was just a white woman. And.
[00:37:41] June Diane Raphael: Yeah.
[00:37:41] Paul Scheer: And there was something about it that just felt like.
[00:37:44] June Diane Raphael: It's just very, very strange. It was like, what are we all doing here?
[00:37:47] Paul Scheer: I like sushi. I've gone to, I go to a lot of different restaurants. I can remember twice when it was white people, when it once was in my house, and the other time was in Hawaii. And that man was surrounded by Asian people who, who made fun of him for being white and made me feel better.
[00:38:08] June Diane Raphael: Yes. So there were so many things happening and we had to do about four hours with her and, but during this time.
[00:38:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Sushi is a notoriously quick meal.
[00:38:19] June Diane Raphael: This wasn't, this wasn't. Because she's in our home. We didn't, and it was also, we had a tiny apartment. There was nowhere for us to go and not be with her. So we're watching her wash, our knives make, we're watching small and we're also helping her. We're doing her dishes. Like it was very strange experience.
[00:38:39] Paul Scheer: Barely had a kitchen. We had like a small counter space.
[00:38:42] June Diane Raphael: Yes. So the whole interaction was so terrible. But just to go back to tomatoes for a second, this is where I really started to get worried because she said to us, you, you know what I'm about to say.
[00:38:53] She said, we're talking about food at night. And I said, so you spend any time in Japan? Just trying to get to what her experience with sushi is. And she said, yeah, I did. She did. And then she said, but I, what I really love is every day I go to Subway and I get a subway sandwich and the tomatoes. The way they slice them so thin. And I'm thinking to myself, the subway tomatoes are, they're like the tomatoes in this movie. They are.
[00:39:26] Jason Mantzoukas: They're not real tomatoes.
[00:39:27] June Diane Raphael: Not, and they, they like literally don't have a taste.
[00:39:30] Jason Mantzoukas: But you cannot be.
[00:39:30] Paul Scheer: Now guys wanted to let you know, you Subway has stepped up their game.
[00:39:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh God. You can't be preparing sushi for people in their own home and.
[00:39:40] Paul Scheer: Patrick Mahomes told me the slice meats, him and Steph Curry sign off on it.
[00:39:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait a minute, this feels like promotion. You can't be in that situation. And then just waxing about the subway tomato.
[00:39:55] Paul Scheer: She also gave us a tip for eating sushi the right way, which was wrong. She's like, and again.
[00:40:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Which was what, on a, between the two halves of a six, six inch sub roll? She's like, you gotta put it in the roll.
[00:40:12] June Diane Raphael: I don't know if that was wrong.
[00:40:13] Jason Mantzoukas: A little oil.
[00:40:14] Paul Scheer: It was wrong.
[00:40:15] Jason Mantzoukas: A mayo.
[00:40:18] Paul Scheer: Alright.
[00:40:18] Jason Mantzoukas: You want this sushi Mike's way?
[00:40:23] Paul Scheer: Put some balsamic on this Ahi. Um, what? Some salt and pepper.
[00:40:30] Jason Mantzoukas: I was at a restaurant the other day. I was at a restaurant in Maine the other day and I said, I'll get the grilled salmon. And the waitress said, ugh, you like salmon?
[00:40:43] I was like, oh, what? I was like, wait, it sounds like you don't like this. She was like, I hate salmon. I was like, please tell me how you really feel. And I'm saying this all, but all of it had like the heaviest Boston-Y Massachusetts. So she was like, oh my god, you like salmon? Oh, I think salmon is disgusting.
[00:41:08] I was like, whatcha talking about? And I was like, yeah, I'm gonna get it anyway, I got it. It was delicious. And she came by and she was like, what did you think of that salmon? And I was like, yeah. I thought it was absolutely delicious. She was like, ugh. She was like, the owner said, he wants me to get a picture with you. He knows who you are. I have no idea who you are.
[00:41:31] June Diane Raphael: I love her. I love her.
[00:41:33] Jason Mantzoukas: And I was like, let's do this.
[00:41:35] June Diane Raphael: I love this woman..
[00:41:41] Jason Mantzoukas: I was like, I'm home. I love it.
[00:41:44] Paul Scheer: Last night I did, uh, take a compliment for John Crier. Um, someone came up to me and said, I just wanna say, Big Time Adolescence meant a lot to me. And I was like, huh. And I never.
[00:42:04] Jason Mantzoukas: I didn't know what that is.
[00:42:05] June Diane Raphael: We didn't either.
[00:42:05] Paul Scheer: I didn't know what it was either. And I quickly googled, it's a Machine Gun Kelly Pete Davidson movie that came out two years ago. And he said, I watched it all the time when I was in high school. And I'm like, you look like you're in high school now. This movie came out two years ago. You can't rap, uh, po you know, about this, uh, whatever. I said, oh.
[00:42:23] Jason Mantzoukas: This is, this episode has the most usage of rapsodic in podcast history.
[00:42:29] Paul Scheer: And I, and I said, I said, oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much.
[00:42:33] Jason Mantzoukas: You didn't correct him.
[00:42:34] Paul Scheer: Never.
[00:42:34] Jason Mantzoukas: I love that.
[00:42:35] Paul Scheer: Had a great time making it. Machine Gun Kelly. Weird guy. But we had fun.
[00:42:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Holy shit.
[00:42:42] June Diane Raphael: Oh my God.
[00:42:43] Paul Scheer: I'll never correct anyone. Even the guy who once said, I was Robin Williams at Airport Security, TSA going through LAX.
[00:42:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.
[00:42:55] Paul Scheer: Guy's, like I know you. And I was like, oh hey. And he is like, I know who you are, funny guy. And I was like, oh, thanks so much. And he is like, Robin Williams. And I laughed and I was like, alright. And he goes very funny guy. And then I was like, oh, he is not joking. He is like, I'm not gonna blow up your spot. Rob Williams and, and Robin Williams had been dead for sometime.
[00:43:24] Jason Mantzoukas: What? Holy shit. You should have as you were walking away, been like, Hey bro, Google me.
[00:43:35] Paul Scheer: And then leaned in for a smoochie. I was the angel coming back for him.
[00:43:40] Jason Mantzoukas: I saw the ghost of Robin Williams today.
[00:43:44] Paul Scheer: Oh my God.
[00:43:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Holy shit.
[00:43:46] Paul Scheer: My favorite moment in this movie was Tad who lives in the town. He lives there, drives to the gas station, goes, where's the press club? You live here, man. You would have the, you would've the equal amount of knowledge of the town.
[00:44:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Also. Forgive me, but what's a press club? It seems to be a place where press conferences happen in a small town? In a tiny, a tiny town? Uh, is there, is there use for that? Is that a real thing? Am I just being a fool? I don't know.
[00:44:17] Paul Scheer: It didn't even look like, it looked like a, like a high school auditorium stage.
[00:44:21] Jason Mantzoukas: When Phoebe Kates and her father are having a screaming match and her only option is to put herself into the closet I was like, yes. This is the movie. This is the movie I wanna watch when she comes out with a hanger like, I'm gonna fuck my dad up with this hanger. I'm like, yes, the dad and the priest are creeps. Get 'em both outta here. Let Phoebe be Phoebe. Bring in Fred. Fred fucks the angel.
[00:44:54] June Diane Raphael: Oh my God. I was trying to understand like what the difference between the angel gaze was and just like her falling in love with Tad, because it's like, well, everybody's under her spell at points, but they're not getting the kiss of death. They're not gonna be transported into another dimension.
[00:45:17] Paul Scheer: Let's the catch everybody. She hypnotizes.
[00:45:18] Jason Mantzoukas: They seem affected by her, but I don't know that they, she is. Um, as into them.
[00:45:25] June Diane Raphael: I see. Because I think what a part of what's happening is just like they're falling in love with women who don't speak, and there's this sort of like, trans fiction.
[00:45:35] Jason Mantzoukas: She's like a villa, she's like a villa in the Harry Potter story. Like she is like a beauty that people can't help but be like, yeah, you know, the dad is like the best example. He's like, absolutely not. You. Oh.
[00:45:48] Paul Scheer: Well, because.
[00:45:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Like, like, absolutely undone.
[00:45:51] Paul Scheer: I, I believe that angels have this, like, like the way Crocodile Dundee could hypnotize animals with the two fingers. You know? Hmm. You could do that. I feel like the angel has.
[00:46:03] Jason Mantzoukas: You're doing a lot of finger work, this tour.
[00:46:04] Paul Scheer: I did.
[00:46:05] Jason Mantzoukas: The other night it was this.
[00:46:06] June Diane Raphael: This, and this.
[00:46:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Which none of us like.
[00:46:09] Paul Scheer: That's checking out.
[00:46:10] Jason Mantzoukas: None of us liked it. Tonight it's this.
[00:46:14] Paul Scheer: But I remember like, but Crocodile Dundee.
[00:46:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Do you remember in the? I'm so sorry.
[00:46:18] Paul Scheer: Yeah.
[00:46:18] Jason Mantzoukas: In the movie, when he wakes up after the bachelor party and he's got the, the blow up doll, he puts it aside. He does this.
[00:46:26] June Diane Raphael: He does?
[00:46:26] Paul Scheer: He sniffs.
[00:46:27] Jason Mantzoukas: He does.
[00:46:27] June Diane Raphael: I didn't see that.
[00:46:28] Paul Scheer: Sniffs his face.
[00:46:30] June Diane Raphael: Oh God.
[00:46:30] Jason Mantzoukas: His own fingers as if to say, oh no, did I do something stupid? Nope. I'm okay.
[00:46:37] June Diane Raphael: What?
[00:46:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's a dead, there's a dead angel in the pool. Oh, no, we partied too hard. The stripper's dead in the pool, man.
[00:46:48] June Diane Raphael: But that's, wow.
[00:46:50] Jason Mantzoukas: He sniffs his fingers.
[00:46:52] June Diane Raphael: Not, I, I did not see that. Or I blocked it out.
[00:46:55] Jason Mantzoukas: It's gotta be an improvised moment because.
[00:46:58] Paul Scheer: All I, I think a lot of like funny business stayed in this movie, but to your point, June, I do think that yes. Um, the angel has powers, but she's not at full power until her wing is fixed. But I will say this. You say she doesn't talk. Well, I think she's talking, and as a matter of fact, um, we have supplemental clip four. I'd like to show you how.
[00:47:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh boy.
[00:47:24] Paul Scheer: Her voice came to be.
[00:47:25] Interview: The kind of work that I've done in film, in, in voiceovers.
[00:47:30] Um, the, the first one I was invited to do was a film called Date with an Angel, uh, in which Emmanuel Beart, uh, played an angel who had fallen to earth. And, um, the filmmakers wanted her to make other worldly sounds. Uh, and evidently all she could think of to do was squeak. And so when they test marketed the film, uh, and this beautiful woman opens her mouth, uh, a squeak comes out and the audience fell on the floor laughing, well, that wasn't necessarily what they wanted.
[00:48:04] Um, and so the sound designer, uh, contacted me and said, you know, can you help us? So I, they flew me out to Los Angeles and, uh, we worked on a sound stage and I basically replaced her voice for about 90% of the film. Uh, we did three, uh, complete separate tracks. One was a more musical track, one was, um, sort of strange sounds other worldly sounds, and one was speech like, but not too speech like.
[00:48:36] Um, and then, uh. So they used that, the, the, the sound designer, uh, mixed my sounds with, um, other sounds that, that he had and came up with this composite voice, uh, for her.
[00:48:51] Paul Scheer: And so she created.
[00:48:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.
[00:48:53] Paul Scheer: As something called.
[00:48:54] June Diane Raphael: I'm obsessed with that woman. I'm absolutely.
[00:48:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Her first job.
[00:48:58] Paul Scheer: Yes. And she created something called other worldly speech. So supplemental clip five. We'd like to play some other worldly speech.
[00:49:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh boy.
[00:49:06] Paul Scheer: Because she does perform other worldly speach.
[00:49:09] Interview: Okay, so this is solitary Journeys of the Mind.
[00:49:15] [Gibberish Other Worldly Speach, Jason and Paul start beat boxing]
[00:49:57] Jason Mantzoukas: On a date with an angel.
[00:50:02] Paul Scheer: Press club. Alright, we can cut that. That is, um.
[00:50:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Holy shit.
[00:50:08] Paul Scheer: That is a five. That is a five and a half minute, a five and a half minute improvisational musical piece.
[00:50:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Five and a half minutes? I find it put a beat to it. Like this could be Enya. I could believe this could be Enya, this could be.
[00:50:27] June Diane Raphael: Oh my God.
[00:50:27] Jason Mantzoukas: This is, this is better than the whole movie. Wow. Wow.
[00:50:33] June Diane Raphael: So it's so interesting that she said they took those sounds and smashed 'em together because all I heard were squeaks.
[00:50:42] Paul Scheer: I mean, all I heard was whale noise, it felt like.
[00:50:45] June Diane Raphael: So much so that at the end of the movie when she says she's been sent back here by God to heal him and also make music with him. I was like, with that voice?
[00:50:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. No, it was, and it, it's especially clear there are moments where, and I wonder if in the script they wrote lines for the angel. 'cause there are scenes in which she is trying to have, she's trying to communicate.
[00:51:14] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:51:14] Jason Mantzoukas: With Ted there is, there are scenes that appears as though they are having a conversation, but she's doing dolphin sounds and he is kind of like, oh, okay.
[00:51:26] Beep, beep, beep.
[00:51:27] Paul Scheer: I mean, most of the movie too, he's just talking at her.
[00:51:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.
[00:51:30] Paul Scheer: And kind of filling in what she might be saying.
[00:51:32] Jason Mantzoukas: And we're supposed to believe that for them, this is what it is to fall in love. To have a foundational inability to communicate using language.
[00:51:47] Paul Scheer: But it would make, I, I think. That the fact that Tad is so earnest makes it less fun.
[00:51:54] Right? Because if he was like a little, like, he's so earnest and she's so earnest. I'm just like watching two people just be very earnest with each other and it's bumming me out. Like, it's like, I'm like, oh, we're, it's, it's slow. And they originally wanted Jim Carrey for this. Um, and they said no.
[00:52:12] Jason Mantzoukas: For the angel?
[00:52:12] Paul Scheer: No, no. They wanted Jim Carrey as the lead. And he, um, they said, no, he's too funny. We don't want funny, we want leading man.
[00:52:24] Jason Mantzoukas: It's, it's interesting because I wonder if Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey in like Taken Down a Notch, Jim Carrey would've been incredible in a affable Tom Hanksy way. I just don't know if you would've been able to do that.
[00:52:35] June Diane Raphael: It's so hard. 'cause again, we're never gonna be on Tad's side because he has a fiance
[00:52:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:52:40] June Diane Raphael: Who has done nothing to deserve this treatment. So it's.
[00:52:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, he's always a villain. And there's all, and again, this angel, an agent of God on high is here stealing someone else's man and is like, fuck her, let's go, let's get outta here. But she's kicking Phoebe Kate's ass in the woods.
[00:53:07] Paul Scheer: And then also, but also like, then the end, the movie is.
[00:53:11] Jason Mantzoukas: She's like, what is that your guy? I'm gonna fucking take your guy. Don't worry about it.
[00:53:15] Paul Scheer: But the end of the movie is also this moment where she's like, God actually wants you to make music. Like we gotta make music together. That's a crazy end. But he is like, God is like, yeah, this guy's got the goods. Like.
[00:53:30] June Diane Raphael: That's what I, I could, I actually couldn't understand when you said the last two minutes explained everything. I was like, not for me, it didn't.
[00:53:36] Jason Mantzoukas: I mean, it gave you information that, it made a little sense of some of what was going on.
[00:53:42] Paul Scheer: Well, it makes sense why he falls asleep in the middle of the movie when like, he's looking for her and they're at the press conference, like, ugh, he wakes up. I'm like, wait. So he was looking for her and he just fell asleep?
[00:53:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, he does that a number of times.
[00:53:55] Paul Scheer: Okay.
[00:53:56] Jason Mantzoukas: He in, in the woods too.
[00:53:57] June Diane Raphael: Brain tumor.
[00:53:58] Jason Mantzoukas: In the woods. He's just kinda like, huh?
[00:54:00] Paul Scheer: Right. It's, I would say the, the brain tumor is played very low. Like, it's, it's, yes. It's like, it's like, it's like background noise. If I really focus on it, I'd be like, yeah, you've given me clues. But it's not like shocking me because I'm watching a priest smoke a joint. I'm watching guns get fired. I'm watching a girl put underwear on. I'm watching a guy get bit on the ass by a dog.
[00:54:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Is it a better movie? Is it a better movie if she's not an angel, but to him because of his tumor, he thinks she's an angel.
[00:54:30] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:54:31] Jason Mantzoukas: And everybody else just is smitten with this beautiful woman, but he thinks she's some sort of from another, you know?
[00:54:37] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[00:54:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Blah, blah, blah. And that, that, because. There it, none of it adds up. And they just keep throwing stuff at you to be like, oh, what if he's got a brain tumor? Oh.
[00:54:46] Paul Scheer: Or dare I say it and I know that we forbid it.
[00:54:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh.
[00:54:52] Paul Scheer: Is it better as a Jacob's ladder scenario?
[00:54:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[00:54:56] June Diane Raphael: Don't say it.
[00:54:57] Paul Scheer: For him. And we, and it's like they've all been around his bed the entire time. He is imagined the entire thing.
[00:55:04] Jason Mantzoukas: What if it's a Jacobs Ladder scenario for the stripper at the bachelor party who dies in the pool?
[00:55:12] Paul Scheer: Done.
[00:55:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Who imagines. Whose dying dream is that she's an angel who is rescued from this wretched existence? By this man and curry God's favor so that they can become musicians together. That's the movie.
[00:55:34] Paul Scheer: Alright, let's see what the audience has to say here. You got a lot of people with questions. Maybe there's a theologian in the house. I don't know.
[00:55:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Maybe there's an angel.
[00:55:44] Paul Scheer: What's your name and your question?
[00:55:46] Audience Member: My name is Sarah and my question is has, have you ever received a telegram as good as the ladybug?
[00:55:53] June Diane Raphael: Oh, thank you so much.
[00:55:54] Paul Scheer: This is something that I did want to talk about.
[00:55:55] Jason Mantzoukas: The love bug.
[00:55:56] June Diane Raphael: Love bug.
[00:55:57] Jason Mantzoukas: A love bug is I, I laughed a number of times in this movie. That was one of them, and I was like, this is the part I would get in this movie. This, or probably George.
[00:56:10] Paul Scheer: The love bug is a singing telegram who delivers the singing as they are leaving. Like the singing was a side effect of the telegram.
[00:56:21] Jason Mantzoukas: The singing happens at the end, and then all of his exit is just maniacal laughter. It's like, boyfriend better love this. And then later in the movie, he drives by in his love bug when he, when he's getting into his car and he is like, that's my son. Give a movie about the love bug.
[00:56:49] Paul Scheer: Hi, what's your name and what's your question?
[00:56:50] Audience Member: Uh, hi, I'm Cassie. So in the massive exposition dump we get in the last like 30 seconds and she can suddenly speak. Um, part of it, she explains that she has now been brought down to earth for her good behavior, which raised some implications that in addition to not having a name or a voice, angels perhaps don't even have free will.
[00:57:13] Jason Mantzoukas: But also are angels capable of bad? Are angels on like a wa. Like are they being monitored? They're they're fucking angels.
[00:57:21] Audience Member: Shouldn't they be exemplified of good behavior?
[00:57:24] June Diane Raphael: I, well that, that was what, yes. If you are an angel, you've already done your good behavior.
[00:57:31] Paul Scheer: Wait, you know, wait.
[00:57:31] June Diane Raphael: That's the whole idea.
[00:57:32] Paul Scheer: Wait, wait a second. So you think an angel is someone who has died and, and come to heaven?
[00:57:40] Audience Member: Satan was an angel.
[00:57:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Satan was an angel. You're right.
[00:57:43] June Diane Raphael: Satan was a fallen angel.
[00:57:45] Jason Mantzoukas: The devil.
[00:57:45] Paul Scheer: We make sure that that is someone just yelled. Satan was an angel.
[00:57:51] June Diane Raphael: I felt so, felt so unsafe when that happened.
[00:57:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Case, just in case. It was said like this. In a moment of chilling, silence as if the audience knew this person would need to say this. Someone said satan was an angel. Satan was an angel. Thank you for quoting Metalocalypse lyrics at me.
[00:58:18] Paul Scheer: I'll say this though, as soon as he said it, the whole theater now smells of sulfur.
[00:58:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, there's a fucking goat's head on stage.
[00:58:30] Paul Scheer: Alright, your name and your question.
[00:58:32] Audience Member: My name is Allison and my question is.
[00:58:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Hi.
[00:58:36] Audience Member: Hi. Hey guys. Do you think this movie is about capitalism?
[00:58:41] Paul Scheer: Explain. I like it. Tell me.
[00:58:43] Audience Member: So the the friends, yes. When they meet the angel, their first response is to get money, monetize it, and also the Phoebe Kate's dad. His first response is to make her the model.
[00:59:00] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. It's all about.
[00:59:00] Paul Scheer: When she fails, he doesn't care about love. He wants to find another way to get money.
[00:59:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, and he doesn't care about his daughter at all. He just cares about getting the angel.
[00:59:09] Paul Scheer: So Tad dad as a communist.
[00:59:12] June Diane Raphael: I think so.
[00:59:13] Paul Scheer: I like it. I like this.
[00:59:14] Jason Mantzoukas: I do believe this is a scathing indictment of 20th century capitalism.
[00:59:19] Paul Scheer: So far. This would be taking down Reaganomics. This is taking down Star Wars.
[00:59:25] Jason Mantzoukas: This is in the greed is good, Gordon Gecko era of, uh, American Greed. Everybody just sees an angel and sees dollar signs.
[00:59:36] Paul Scheer: But it, the other thing is, and I keep on going back to this, they accepted her as an angel. She does nothing angelic. She's got these wings.
[00:59:45] Jason Mantzoukas: I mean, that's pretty angelic.
[00:59:48] Paul Scheer: But.
[00:59:49] Jason Mantzoukas: She does have wings and is an angel.
[00:59:50] June Diane Raphael: What more?
[00:59:51] Paul Scheer: But we haven't checked them out. No one goes, let me see.
[00:59:54] June Diane Raphael: What do you wanna do with them, Paul?
[00:59:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Do you think there are angel wing authenticators? What's this? What is?
[00:59:59] Paul Scheer: I've seen that show with Rebecca.
[01:00:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Bring it to Antiques Road Show.
[01:00:03] Paul Scheer: Do they dress people up like panthers and shit? You go to Heidi Clinton's Halloween party, you're gonna see fucking angel wings. I watch Victoria's Secret shows. They got angel wings.
[01:00:12] Jason Mantzoukas: You do?
[01:00:13] Paul Scheer: Check it out.
[01:00:14] Jason Mantzoukas: How often do you watch the an uh, uh, the Victoria's Secret Angel Wings?
[01:00:19] Paul Scheer: Study for this a lot. But I mean, but no one goes like, let me touch those shoulders. Let's, what do we got?
[01:00:27] Jason Mantzoukas: I don't like.
[01:00:27] June Diane Raphael: You wanted them.
[01:00:28] Jason Mantzoukas: I don't like the way you said that.
[01:00:30] June Diane Raphael: I don't like any of this by the way.
[01:00:31] Jason Mantzoukas: I don't like when Paul says, let me touch those shoulders.
[01:00:33] June Diane Raphael: You wanted to sort of like take a look under the wings to make sure they were really like, you wanted someone to tug on them.
[01:00:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, so Paul. Paul, you are positing that she is a scam artist. That she's not.
[01:00:46] Paul Scheer: My first instinct would be check them wings.
[01:00:49] June Diane Raphael: Yeah. Show me what's under the hood.
[01:00:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Show me your wings.
[01:00:52] Paul Scheer: I grew up in New York. I grew up in New York. You can tell me an angel you got prove it. Do some sort of magic and lemme touch them wings.
[01:01:00] June Diane Raphael: Wow.
[01:01:00] Jason Mantzoukas: I agree.
[01:01:01] June Diane Raphael: Unbelievable.
[01:01:01] Paul Scheer: I'm not gonna to take you at face value.
[01:01:04] Jason Mantzoukas: I, I agree. I would be skeptical as well. I would be skeptical as well. I would wanna see where those wings join the back.
[01:01:09] June Diane Raphael: First of all, she doesn't have to prove to either of you that she's an angel. Okay.
[01:01:17] Jason Mantzoukas: But the minute she makes dolphin sounds, I'd be like, oh, classic Angel.
[01:01:23] Paul Scheer: When she was hypnotizing, one of the party ninjas, I thought they were gonna pull like a little, like a little switcheroo, and she's like, behind this curtain an amazing angel. And then you're like, oh, when he reveals it, it's gonna be like the party with their pants down or something, and then the angel's gonna be gone. But no, she's still tied up in a chair and then you hear a reporter go, oh, that's not right.
[01:01:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Well, they've got her tied into a chair. They've got a a, a cloth over her mouth to stop her from doing hypnotic chirping. They take it off, then they put her, then they put one around her eyes as well. Do they, at one point?
[01:01:59] Paul Scheer: They think it's, they have a press conference for a kidnapped woman.
[01:02:03] Jason Mantzoukas: This is like, it really is. They bring, they bring out a woman tied to a chair. They bring out a
[01:02:09] hostage. They're like, we have a hostage.
[01:02:13] June Diane Raphael: Yeah.
[01:02:14] Jason Mantzoukas: This, this is like we are from it. We have this.
[01:02:17] June Diane Raphael: Why cover up her wings then? Like that's actually when we need to see them, uh, the choices that these men make.
[01:02:24] Paul Scheer: Thank you, June. Check them wings.
[01:02:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Check, check them wings.
[01:02:26] June Diane Raphael: I guess now I'm on your side.
[01:02:29] Jason Mantzoukas: I will say, I think the t-shirt for this episode should be the T-shirt that they hold up when they're in.
[01:02:35] Paul Scheer: Oh yes.
[01:02:35] Jason Mantzoukas: When they're in the patent office or whatever. Holy shit.
[01:02:39] Paul Scheer: I like that.
[01:02:40] Jason Mantzoukas: I wish the movie had now been about just partying ninjas.
[01:02:44] Paul Scheer: Okay. Your name, your question.
[01:02:46] Audience Member: Hi, I am Megan. Uh, my question is, what are you?
[01:02:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Hi Megan.
[01:02:49] Audience Member: Hi Jason. Uh, what is the angel manual that he's reading in the tree house where he's like, oh, according to the book, your powers are fully recovered.
[01:02:58] June Diane Raphael: Wait a second. That book was in the tree house. I thought he got that from the library.
[01:03:02] Jason Mantzoukas: He did, but he checks it out.
[01:03:03] June Diane Raphael: Oh.
[01:03:03] Jason Mantzoukas: From the library brings it to the tree house. Oh yeah, he's doing a lot.
[01:03:07] Audience Member: The book in the tree house had like a colorful cover and the book in the library had like a leather bound.
[01:03:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.
[01:03:12] Audience Member: Like old book looking.
[01:03:13] Jason Mantzoukas: The library in this town has access to books from the 13th century. That's a no way. The library in this town has books that only Giles from Buffy has access to. Okay. That's what we're talking about here. This is not real books. And Tad is up here reading about Angels, like he's cracking the code. He's too dumb.
[01:03:40] June Diane Raphael: He's way too dumb.
[01:03:41] Paul Scheer: Here's a book that no one cracks, the Bible.
[01:03:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[01:03:45] Paul Scheer: No one's looking at the Bible. A book that might have some information. This is like the.
[01:03:51] Jason Mantzoukas: This episode, we're giving away a Bible to everybody.
[01:03:54] June Diane Raphael: Look under your seats.
[01:03:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Your seat. You'll find a Bible. How did this get prayed?
[01:04:07] Black it out. That's the end of the show. Goodnight Minneapolis.
[01:04:14] Paul Scheer: I was reading the book of Job, but could you believe this passage? Alright, it says right here. He who walks. Now get this. He who walks through a valley. Now where are these valleys? That would be our whole show. Your name, your question.
[01:04:29] Audience Member: I'm Bess and I just wanted to address the physical comedy.
[01:04:32] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, we're talking Ecclesias tonight. We're Eccles crazy. Sorry, go ahead. Please go ahead.
[01:04:37] Audience Member: Yeah, well, I mean like the dog, the dog attack, like everything was just so over the top.
[01:04:43] Paul Scheer: The dog attack was from the POV of the dog, right. Going into the man's ass. And yet I forgot about that. So when he sat down.
[01:04:53] Jason Mantzoukas: It's not going into the man's ass.
[01:04:55] Paul Scheer: Seems like he went pretty deep into it. I feel like he got side cheek and back cheek.
[01:05:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. No, I loved, I loved the dad. The, the after he's been bit on the butt, which is like midway through the movie on the heine.
[01:05:11] Paul Scheer: Thank you.
[01:05:11] Jason Mantzoukas: On the Henny, after he is bit on the Henny for the rest of the movie, he does a lot dealing with it, sitting down and then jumping, jumping up and be like, Ooh, oh, oh, oh, my heine, you know, that I was attacked.
[01:05:23] June Diane Raphael: I, I really laughed, when the dad is in the boardroom and he's trying to describe who the new face of the ethereal beauty line is, and he's.
[01:05:31] Paul Scheer: The hardest laugh in the movie.
[01:05:32] June Diane Raphael: I, I genuinely laughed so hard. He goes, I got it. It's my daughter's fiance's girlfriend.
[01:05:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Mistress.
[01:05:40] Paul Scheer: Mistress.
[01:05:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Mistress. It's even better. And everybody's like, Uhhuh. And it's like, it's like the casting notice for everybody in there is weasels. It's a boardroom full of weasels who are like, eh.
[01:05:56] Paul Scheer: Also they were alluding to something going ho, horribly wrong in that makeup company.
[01:06:01] June Diane Raphael: Again, I think it was Phoebe Phoebe's face.
[01:06:05] Paul Scheer: The guy comes to their house in the middle of the night with the marketing research reports, not sales. Like we just did the testing. It's bad.
[01:06:16] Jason Mantzoukas: And gleefully, gleefully tells him it's bad. I had to come over and tell you it's bad.
[01:06:24] Paul Scheer: Your instincts are shit. Your daughter's the worst. Yes.
[01:06:28] Jason Mantzoukas: I wrote down the press is witnessing an abduction. Go ahead.
[01:06:33] Paul Scheer: Your name, your question.
[01:06:34] Audience Member: Hi, I am Dina. Um.
[01:06:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Hi Dina.
[01:06:38] Audience Member: Hi. Um, has anyone figured out what the date was?
[01:06:43] June Diane Raphael: What date?
[01:06:43] Paul Scheer: Ooh.
[01:06:44] Jason Mantzoukas: What do you mean?
[01:06:44] Paul Scheer: Good question.
[01:06:45] Audience Member: Date with an Angel.
[01:06:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh. Oh, I see the titular date.
[01:06:50] June Diane Raphael: A date.
[01:06:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, yeah, there doesn't appear to be a.
[01:06:53] Paul Scheer: I think it's like a date, like his date with destiny. That's not like a, it's not like a we go to Bennigan's. It's like, it's just a general, my date I go.
[01:07:01] Jason Mantzoukas: They go to Wendy's.
[01:07:03] Paul Scheer: True.
[01:07:03] June Diane Raphael: It's interesting though.
[01:07:04] Paul Scheer: By the way, what an indictment on Wendy's.
[01:07:06] June Diane Raphael: I know.
[01:07:07] Paul Scheer: I didn't even think about that.
[01:07:08] June Diane Raphael: It is interesting though, because I, I ha I do have a vague memory of the dad and the engagement party scene talking to Tad's mom, who we haven't even touched on her. We haven't even said a word about her yet. I have, we need to spend roughly the next two hours talking about her Tad's dad and also where's Phoebe's mom?
[01:07:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Unclear.
[01:07:31] June Diane Raphael: Unknown, but I do remember a reference to Tad working for her dad and that being the path and that it seemed like that's where we were going. But I don't know. 'cause once, once Phoebe's on screen, she doesn't seem to care.
[01:07:47] Paul Scheer: I had an issue with, it was confusing to me that when he shows up at her house, she throws stuff out the window. They weren't living together, so she's just throwing her own shit out the window.
[01:07:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, some of it is like cards and stuff that he's probably giving her or whatever, but like yeah, it, I agree.
[01:08:05] Paul Scheer: It doesn't seem like that's a family that allows her boyfriend to sleep over.
[01:08:09] Jason Mantzoukas: But then again that I agree. But that suggests that she lives with her parents. Ergo is young, and so then I'm like, how old are these characters supposed to be?
[01:08:22] June Diane Raphael: Now, hours away from the movie? It's kind of starting to make a bit more sense, I think. I think we're supposed to believe that Tad's from the wrong side of the tracks and that this marriage is gonna be meaningful to his family and to his mom. Because they are going to profit off of it in some way.
[01:08:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.
[01:08:41] Paul Scheer: Okay. Okay.
[01:08:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Because he drives like a piece of shit car.
[01:08:44] June Diane Raphael: And she drives a Corvette.
[01:08:45] Jason Mantzoukas: She drives a Corvette, lives in a mansion, and her dad is like business.
[01:08:50] Paul Scheer: Capitalism.
[01:08:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Business
[01:08:51] Paul Scheer: Capitalism.
[01:08:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Capitalism.
[01:08:51] June Diane Raphael: Capitalism.
[01:08:52] Paul Scheer: Keeping up with the Joneses. Okay. Your name, your question. You have a screen grab. Yeah.
[01:08:56] Audience Member: Okay. I'm will, uh, less of a question, more of a reading of Roger Ebert's review of this movie.
[01:09:04] Paul Scheer: Okay. This is great. I actually, well, can you play re we've never done this before. I was gonna save this to the end, but I think it's worthy of it now. Can you play a review?
[01:09:15] Interview: The most impressive thing about this whole movie is the way that Emmanuel Beart is actually able to play a convincing angel. At least I was convinced. And if it's not an angel, then at least it's certainly a beautiful blonde with wings. On some kind of a basic level. I liked her performance. In fact, I think you can even guess what that basic level probably was. Sexual. And I liked a lot of the details of her relationship with Michael Lee Knight.
[01:09:36] You're being so kind. I think this movie is garbage. I did not think she was convincing. I didn't think it was magical. I didn't think that character surrounding her were interesting. All she does is chirp.
[01:09:45] She is a beautiful woman, Jean. Now come on.
[01:09:47] So what? There are lots of beautiful women in the world.
[01:09:48] There are not that many.
[01:09:50] Yeah.
[01:09:50] There, there are not that many.
[01:09:51] There are not. There are a few movies that are as bad as this one.
[01:09:54] Isn't there some kind of a basic human level upon which you can respond to beauty of this nature?
[01:10:00] Yes.
[01:10:00] Without having to just always be a critical all the time and see how dumb the movie is. What, isn't there something pretty to look at there?
[01:10:05] Yes. And then, and then the movie starts rolling. Take a still picture of her. Don't look at the film.
[01:10:12] Jason Mantzoukas: I love nothing. I grew up every week watching at the movies on PBS, every I, nothing is better than the animosity that Gene Cisco and Roger Ebert have for each other. It is so powerful how much they dislike each other and how much they are just constantly going after each other.
[01:10:33] Paul Scheer: I mean, and that is brilliant. Like, he's like, you know why I like her. Sexual.
[01:10:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Sexual.
[01:10:40] Paul Scheer: So upsetting. Can we bring in our second opinion people right now?
[01:10:43] Jason Mantzoukas: If I, here's the thing, while you guys are lining up. If I'm Tad. Have some fucking balls and go and have a conversation with Phoebe Kates and be like, it's over.
[01:10:55] Paul Scheer: They cut all of that stuff out because,
[01:10:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh.
[01:10:58] Paul Scheer: The morning after, after the bachelor party, he goes like, I know you called after you woke up and tried to explain the situation. I'm like, why didn't we get the scene?
[01:11:05] Jason Mantzoukas: He says, I'll be there in a half an hour. Doesn't do that.
[01:11:08] Paul Scheer: Clearly doesn't even have any intention. He starts.
[01:11:10] Jason Mantzoukas: This, this guy is a fucking piece of shit and I hate him for what he did to our girl.
[01:11:17] Paul Scheer: Yeah, Tad might be a piece of shit, but you know what? There are people out there that think a little bit differently because now it is time for second opinions.
[01:11:25] Audience Member: What's with this angel in my pool? Where did she come from? Well, my fiance think when, she sees her in my bed and going to Amazon, woohoo to my review. Gonna be, you look just like an angel. Oh. Oh. And I'm recently engaged.
[01:12:03] I don't know what this movie's about, anyway. I don't care about that. Woo. I give it five stars!
[01:12:17] June Diane Raphael: Yes.
[01:12:19] Paul Scheer: Amazing job.
[01:12:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Great job.
[01:12:21] June Diane Raphael: Wow.
[01:12:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Every single one of the 32 people who sang songs tonight were perfect.
[01:12:29] Paul Scheer: Thank you so much. Those are amazing songs. And now we're gonna read some amazing reviews. On Amazon, there are 1,403 reviews of Date with an Angel. Average rating, 4.7 out of five stars. 4.7.
[01:12:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.
[01:12:48] Paul Scheer: Out of five stars, 82% are five star reviews.
[01:12:53] Only 2% are one star reviews. Mel Leonard writes, this is in 2018. Title, "A movie that has remained as one of my favorites for decades."
[01:13:08] "When I was a movie theater manager back in the eighties, I had the pleasure of screening this movie, and I thought it was wonderful. Girls came outta the theater crying on their boyfriend's shoulders, and everyone had smiles on their faces. However, the critics panned it terribly. And not many came to see this great show, which I thought was a real crime because of the charlatan judges, this movie failed at the box office. I have never forgiven those who are responsible for this. I just want to say I still think this is a great movie and I highly recommend it to anyone. Dated, pardon the pun, though it may be It is both funny, heartwarming, and sometimes sad, but with the proverbial happy ending. You will do yourself a favor if you take the time to watch it. Five stars."
[01:14:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.
[01:14:10] Paul Scheer: Thank you, Mel Leonard.
[01:14:13] Now Mel has a little bit of an edge, and so does Sher. Not Sher with a C, but Sher with an S. And Sher with an S wrote this in 2011 and uh, the title is "DVD Date with an angel."
[01:14:30] "This DVD was difficult to locate and the cost in Canada was double from Amazon. I got my DVD and I enjoyed it very much and I was delighted to add it to my collection. I wish Amazon would arrange to deliver to Canada as having to drive to the US to pick up a parcel at a designated place is a bit much. Thank you again, Amazon, and I hope you will consider finding the same products in Canada or the US or rather than selling it or going overseas. Keep it at home, keep it Americans and keep Canadians working. Five stars."
[01:15:19] Jason Mantzoukas: What the fuck is that review about?
[01:15:22] Paul Scheer: This person is pissed off.
[01:15:24] Jason Mantzoukas: It starts about this movie and ends with keep Canadians working?
[01:15:30] Paul Scheer: Capitalism.
[01:15:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. Okay. Yeah. Capitalism indeed.
[01:15:35] Paul Scheer: Um.
[01:15:35] Jason Mantzoukas: And that was, that review was written by Justin Trudeau?
[01:15:40] Paul Scheer: And you know what? A lot of his legislation gets first started at the review level and then it moves up. That's the way you have to do it in Canada, apparently.
[01:15:47] Jason Mantzoukas: We've got some great reviews on Amazon.
[01:15:49] June Diane Raphael: That's how bill becomes a law there.
[01:15:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Hoping to get them into, we're having fun.
[01:15:56] Paul Scheer: R Cos writes this, the title, "Great movie."
[01:16:01] "My wife and I love this movie. We feel, feel that"
[01:16:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Get divorced.
[01:16:08] Paul Scheer: "We feel that the effects for the wings were done extremely well. Much better and more realistic than what I think could be done with cg. We just love the detail put into this movie and we're happy to add it to our DVD collection. Five stars. Great movie."
[01:16:29] June Diane Raphael: I, can I say one thing about that? I agree. I think because the wings were not too white. I guess they just seemed like they had been, I don't know, used for some time.
[01:16:43] Paul Scheer: Wow. That's why she, she behaving badly. She's behaving badly now. She's behaving better.
[01:16:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Felt like those were used wings.
[01:16:50] June Diane Raphael: In a good way.
[01:16:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Used wings.
[01:16:51] June Diane Raphael: In a good way.
[01:16:52] Jason Mantzoukas: I agree. And I thought they, I actually thought they looked good as well and I thought they did a good job of not giving us too much access to them so as to let them be.
[01:17:01] June Diane Raphael: Let them breathe.
[01:17:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Let them look bad. Or see.
[01:17:04] June Diane Raphael: Although I did, I did take issue with the scene where he was trying to disguise her. I can understand putting a coat on the wings, but why does she need to be in a hat and sunglasses?
[01:17:12] Jason Mantzoukas: I'm so sorry. Also, why does she need high heels? Get, get this angel sneakers.
[01:17:19] June Diane Raphael: Please get her flats.
[01:17:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Get this angel sneakers.
[01:17:21] Paul Scheer: Or flip flops. Give her anything. There's a decidedly angry attitude to a lot.
[01:17:26] Jason Mantzoukas: You wanna put an angel in flip flops?
[01:17:28] June Diane Raphael: She doesn't belong in flip flops Paul.
[01:17:30] Jason Mantzoukas: You wanna put an angel that.
[01:17:31] June Diane Raphael: She's a, she's an angel.
[01:17:33] Jason Mantzoukas: That's my favorite John Prine song. Angel in Flip flop.
[01:17:36] Paul Scheer: Angel in Flip Flops walking through my life. Isn't that, that?
[01:17:42] Jason Mantzoukas: I don't know if you're with me tonight, Minneapolis.
[01:17:47] June Diane Raphael: Oh God.
[01:17:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Come tomorrow night. We'll see what's up.
[01:17:49] Paul Scheer: In the, in the toughest times I was carrying you, but I tripped on my flip flops. Right? That's the footprints. Um, Ed from Denver writes this, uh, the title is "What is There to Say about a movie I ordered..." dot, dot, dot.
[01:18:07] "What is there to say about a movie I ordered because I already knew about it before I ordered it. Five Stars."
[01:18:19] I think he thought he needed to, like, I think he's confused about what reviews are. Um, I will, I will read.
[01:18:31] June Diane Raphael: So you think he, you think he ordered it and then got the email and it was like, leave a review here.
[01:18:35] Paul Scheer: Yes.
[01:18:35] June Diane Raphael: And he was just like, well, it hasn't arrived yet, but.
[01:18:39] Paul Scheer: I mean, I already ordered. Yeah, I ordered it. It came. A review. I gave you a review of the ordering process. This is, um, a review written by I Am blessed.
[01:18:53] June Diane Raphael: Okay.
[01:18:54] Paul Scheer: The title is "For angel lovers and others."
[01:19:02] "To me, a collector of angel lore, Emmanuel Beart is the personification of angels. My guardian angel agrees."
[01:19:14] Jason Mantzoukas: What?
[01:19:14] Paul Scheer: "And I think you will agree. Five Stars."
[01:19:20] Jason Mantzoukas: That's chilling. I just picture that person watching the movie and then looking at an empty chair and being like, I know me too.
[01:19:35] Paul Scheer: So those are some five star reviews. We got a bunch there. A bunch of great ones. I guess the question is, uh, would you recommend this movie?
[01:19:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. Yes. Forever and always.
[01:19:47] June Diane Raphael: Absolutely.
[01:19:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. If only to see what a piece of shit Tad is for choosing this angel who is not gonna be with him forever. She's just clearly glomming onto him for her music career, um, for him to pass up Phoebe Kates. Again, this is a movie about Phoebe Kates. I won't hear anything else. And it's fantastic. Everybody should watch it.
[01:20:13] June Diane Raphael: Yeah. This is truly like, this was a find, this was a wonderful find. And I did genuinely enjoy. I did enjoy it. I think, I think I really enjoy, I don't know which end is up anymore. I think I really enjoyed it.
[01:20:27] Paul Scheer: The fact that this movie was released in the theater and made like, this is a real movie. We're gonna see it. Like there were no questions asked. This feels to me like, whatever you wanna do, make it. Wild.
[01:20:37] Jason Mantzoukas: And they're paying for music. The Cars. Steve Wynwood.
[01:20:41] June Diane Raphael: Yes.
[01:20:41] Jason Mantzoukas: There are needle drops of hit songs. Steve Winwood's, The Finer Things is in this song. Don't worry, I had that tape guys.
[01:20:50] Paul Scheer: Me too. Actually made me love the movie.
[01:20:51] Jason Mantzoukas: At this point, I was 15 years old. I had this tape. I listened to this song and I was lonely.
[01:21:00] Paul Scheer: The movie bankrupted the studio that released it. They thought it was gonna help reinvigorate it, but this year was bad for them. And it was a.
[01:21:16] Jason Mantzoukas: A surprise.
[01:21:17] Paul Scheer: $8 million movie that made two million dollars, but it was nominated for best fantasy film, but the 1988 Saturn Awards and lost to The Princess Bride.
[01:21:31] Jason Mantzoukas: This is a, uh, this, I feel like now this movie would be a faith-based movie. You know what mean?
[01:21:37] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.
[01:21:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Like so or so it would skew in that direction and would be appropriately not as sexual. Not as, yeah, go ahead.
[01:21:46] Paul Scheer: Here's what I would say. This is Blind Date. The Bruce Willis movie. I think you put Bruce Willis in this movie. I think he put Kim Basinger in this movie. It's a big hit.
[01:21:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Great.
[01:21:54] Paul Scheer: It's a big hit. It's big and fun.
[01:21:56] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, you. We're talking about Splash. I think Splash is so much, is so similar, but Tom Hanks, Darrel Hana. It is electric, you know?
[01:22:03] Paul Scheer: There you go.
[01:22:03] Jason Mantzoukas: It is not an electric connection between any of the people here and Phoebe Kates is pouring incredible work into like a bottomless pit of nonsense.
[01:22:14] Paul Scheer: I'll say this, I think we figured out our shirt, which is the shirt they made in the actual movie. I think that's the one.
[01:22:20] Jason Mantzoukas: It's pretty. I don't quite remember, but I think that's pretty good.
[01:22:23] Paul Scheer: I think we can just cheat it and just get back.
[01:22:25] Jason Mantzoukas: I remember feeling like when I saw it, there was like angel wings on the back. Can we do that Paul, please? Paul, can we please have two sides please, Paul?
[01:22:33] Paul Scheer: We are gonna do two sides. Every now and then, I like to keep the cost down, but you know what? You guys need a two sided shirt.
[01:22:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Minneapolis.
[01:22:44] Paul Scheer: Thank you everybody for coming out here tonight. And now Billy Joel. Goodnight, everybody!
