Under the Influence (with Jo Piazza) - Sunday Nice Things： That Aged Well

00:00:00.000 Hey y'all, Jo here, and you are listening to Under the Influence.

00:00:09.700 Today on Sunday Nace Things, we have the only movie podcast that I've been listening to lately.

00:00:14.780 There's so many movie podcasts out there, so many. It is intensely overwhelming. But I love movies,

00:00:20.780 and I love podcasts. So in theory, I would really like the Venn intersection of the two.

00:00:24.980 the podcast that aged well really stands out for me the hosts paul and erica are pop culture

00:00:32.440 fanatics and what they do is something that i love to do which is watch movies from their

00:00:37.560 childhood and wonder how bad they should feel about loving them this is something i think about

00:00:42.860 all the time i watched bill and ted's excellent adventure with the kids the other day and i gotta

00:00:48.300 to tell you, for my seven-year-old, it hit just right. It was the perfect amount of history and

00:00:55.600 stupidity. And when that guy gets on the stage and says, San Dimas high school football rules, 1.00

00:01:01.060 I was genuinely so happy. Anyway, Paul and Erica are super funny, and I'm going to recommend their

00:01:06.280 Father of the Bride episode. Listening to them run through the entire film is almost as fun as

00:01:12.080 watching the movie for the first time. They're very good at Martin Short's accent, and that is

00:01:16.160 not an easy accent to do because i've tried i have yeah this is a good gateway episode and if

00:01:22.580 you want to listen to all of them i'll put the feed for that aged well in the show notes enjoy

00:01:26.660 so i had to take oliver to the vet this past week he's fine okay but i did for various non-oliver

00:01:33.540 related reasons wind up in the waiting room for like five hours oh and i'm waiting there and i'm

00:01:41.340 your headphones out and there's been a woman in this in this waiting room with me the whole time

00:02:26.080 like when something happens and you're like shut down all reactions you must remain completely

00:02:36.340 then she starts telling me you know i have kids and when i had my gallbladder out none of them

00:02:41.960 called me but that cat checked on me every day okay what what did the cat are you picturing the

00:04:38.180 I forgive Paul for his story about the pantsless little girl he saw riding in his grocery cart.

00:04:43.300 True story. 1.00

00:04:44.380 True story.

00:04:44.980 True story.

00:04:45.800 I now have a constant fear that said grocery cart has somehow ended up in Ohio and is touching my groceries.

00:04:51.200 And that's why you bring wet wipes.

00:04:53.000 Oh, in South Florida, at least.

00:04:55.000 I don't know why, because they don't do anything else right.

00:04:57.200 But they did this right.

00:04:58.080 The grocery stores still have Purell wipes when you walk in.

00:05:01.800 Beautiful.

00:05:02.220 Like a big vat of them. 0.84

00:05:03.560 And, oh, you better believe I give that cart a good once over.

00:07:13.940 Woo! Well done, Paul.

00:07:15.020 Thank you.

00:07:15.380 That took some work.

00:07:16.280 It was. I had to do a little hand motion to keep myself going.

00:07:18.860 This was our top requested film for, of course, as soon as you mentioned wedding films,

00:07:23.580 Because everyone of a certain age is going to go to Father of the Bride.

00:07:26.140 Father of the Bride.

00:07:26.800 Yes.

00:07:27.020 Immediately.

00:07:27.720 And boy, am I glad they did.

00:07:29.040 Yeah.

00:07:29.420 Uh-huh.

00:07:29.800 Absolutely.

00:07:31.200 So this movie was written by Francis Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Nancy Myers, and Charles Shire,

00:07:36.900 based on the 1950 film of the same name, which was itself based on the 1949 novel by Edward Streeter.

00:07:44.080 It was directed by Charles Shire and stars Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams,

00:07:49.500 George Newbern, Kieran Culkin, B.D. Wong, and Martin Short.

00:07:54.140 No skips in this cast.

00:07:55.340 No.

00:07:55.680 They're not included here, and I don't know their names, but the people who played George

00:07:58.740 Newbern's parents, especially the dad, no notes on that guy.

00:08:03.600 I have his name in the recap.

00:08:04.740 We will get to honor him later.

00:08:05.880 That guy is brilliant.

00:08:07.620 He's excellent.

00:08:08.400 I forgot this was based on a 1950 Elizabeth Taylor film.

00:08:11.320 Some of the retroness of this film is starting to make a little more sense when you realize

00:08:15.700 that the foundation of it came from 60 years prior to when the film was made.

00:08:22.160 Martin Short allegedly invented his own accent for this film.

00:08:26.620 Are you telling me Franck is not from a real country?

00:08:29.760 What?

00:08:30.180 What?

00:08:30.880 I'm going to try to do this in my Franck accent, right?

00:08:33.020 Martin Short allegedly invented his own accent for the film.

00:08:36.240 I can't do it.

00:08:37.280 His own accent for the film.

00:08:38.500 For the film.

00:08:39.480 It's a lot of open mouth.

00:08:40.800 Yeah.

00:08:40.960 His final two choices for his assistant, Howard, were Biddy Wong and Harvey Fierstein.

00:08:46.700 I never thought I would find a moment where I was glad Harvey Fierstein didn't appear in a movie, but B.D. Wong.

00:08:53.760 Perfect.

00:08:54.440 In a cast of assassins and with so little to do.

00:08:57.980 Truly, B.D. Wong is maybe my favorite person in this movie.

00:09:03.840 Harvey Fierstein also would have been incredible and hilarious.

00:09:07.380 Yes.

00:09:07.840 But there is a B.D. Wong-ness to this that feels indelible.

00:09:11.200 A hundred percent.

00:09:12.060 I have an idea that if I ever get a talk show, I want Martin Short to be my first guest.

00:09:16.700 done and the game that we're going to play is i'm going to play him his lines from this movie

00:09:21.360 and see if he can tell me what he said oh that is you know what you should just try to get a job on

00:09:27.300 like another yeah a current talk show writing writing yeah i have a great idea for martin

00:09:31.480 short just like hey hey seth meyers listen i have a great idea for martin short trust me you're

00:09:35.800 gonna want to use this this is excellent i'm giving it away for free all i want is like a

00:09:39.640 little bit of credit and i'm good mention that age well podcast on the show you can have it that

00:09:44.020 is a winner the cheaper chicken the cheaper chicken there is one line because i watched this

00:09:49.140 with subtitles oh so did i there's one line in the beginning when he first comes in i i think he has

00:09:54.300 to be saying something like i'm sorry if i keep on your wedding or something like that nowhere on

00:09:58.860 the internet does anyone have a guess as to what these words are i did a deep dive i may have wound

00:10:03.840 up on the silk road trying to understand what martin short said when he comes in nobody knows

00:10:09.140 no one hello mr bonks oh welcome to the 90s mr bonks our money also does not make polyester

00:10:18.200 all right father of the bride erica has a 70 critical rating on rotten tomatoes and

00:10:24.700 a 70 audience score it has a 75 critical rating on cherry picks okay okay i'm fine with the 70

00:10:33.940 I think 70 is good.

00:10:34.920 Actually, as far as a movie, it's a tight movie.

00:10:38.120 Look, I have issues with it.

00:10:39.400 We're going to get into it. 0.98

00:10:40.320 I fucking love this movie. 0.98

00:10:41.440 Do not worry. 1.00

00:10:42.260 This is not a movie we're going to really shit on. 0.96

00:10:44.600 But there are problems. 0.99

00:10:45.740 But there are toilets in it, and we're going to shit in them. 0.99

00:10:47.460 We're going to shit in those specific toilets. 0.98

00:10:49.140 But I feel like movie-wise, it's so tight. 0.98

00:10:52.360 What do you have to complain about?

00:10:53.800 It moves so fast.

00:10:55.640 I guess it's what I have to complain about.

00:10:57.200 Maybe critics even then.

00:10:58.440 Although it feels unfair to give a movie a bad review because you're like,

00:11:02.880 yeah but i agree with the main character i think everyone else is crazy

00:11:06.200 yeah i was expecting something a little higher just because i remember it being such a

00:11:11.480 a hit but i i think 70 critical rating is correct audience score i would probably move it up because

00:11:18.040 i'm like even the stuff that i have to say about it i'm actually pretty much on board with the

00:11:22.360 movie until the last 10 minutes and then buckle up everyone because i got angry in the last 10

00:11:27.500 minutes you too oh i got angry a few times watching this because okay look here's the thing

00:11:32.400 For those of you who aren't aware, Charles Shire and Nancy Meyers were married at the time that they made this film, right?

00:11:38.520 Charles Shire directed it, I think.

00:11:39.920 Is that what you said?

00:11:40.500 Okay.

00:11:40.860 And Nancy Meyers, the glorious Nancy Meyers, who we love on this show, was one of the writers of the film.

00:11:46.580 You can tell Charles Shire directed it because Nina's Kitchen is kind of meh.

00:11:49.620 It's not as good as Nancy Meyers had directed this movie.

00:11:52.460 So I know because they're a married couple that they have at least been to and participated in one wedding.

00:11:58.100 One wedding.

00:11:58.580 They had to have been.

00:11:59.180 In their entire lives.

00:12:00.000 Yep.

00:12:00.480 I've never been married.

00:12:01.620 So I've never really participated in that side of it.

00:12:04.040 But I've been a bridesmaid.

00:12:05.300 I've been a friend.

00:12:06.160 Sure.

00:12:06.720 I've been, I've been, I've helped people coordinate things.

00:12:09.080 You're a social adult. 1.00

00:12:10.280 I am a social adult with like fucking eyes and ears. 1.00

00:12:13.240 Yeah. 1.00

00:12:13.660 This is not how weddings work.

00:12:15.820 At all.

00:12:16.440 This movie is how weddings work.

00:12:20.540 Erica, when did you first see Father of the Bride?

00:12:22.800 I saw it in the theater with my family.

00:12:24.500 Okay.

00:12:24.760 I remember seeing it with my family.

00:12:26.520 I think we were all doing Franck's accent.

00:12:28.980 Thank God it's not a real accent.

00:12:30.300 I think it has to not be a real accent.

00:12:31.960 Otherwise, like, we would all be committing some horrible atrocities.

00:12:35.140 Sure, sure. 0.50

00:12:35.580 The German and Austrian people may have, they may have some kind of case here.

00:12:40.600 But it's definitely somehow German-Austrian.

00:12:44.280 It is.

00:12:44.540 German-Austrian.

00:12:45.500 Yeah.

00:12:45.820 It's something from there.

00:12:46.500 It's also like, it's also Bronson Pinchot's character in Beverly Hills Cop a little bit.

00:12:50.180 Which I've never seen.

00:12:51.100 But just watch his YouTube, that character.

00:12:53.760 Because he basically said, like, he doesn't know what country he's doing.

00:12:57.200 Yeah.

00:12:57.380 He just is imitating one guy he met one time.

00:13:00.300 so yeah like my family loved it we all loved it big hit big hit in our house how about you

00:13:06.220 good news everyone i saw this as a kid and i saw it for me like a bunch i would say i saw it at

00:13:12.720 least four or five times that's a kid i think you've probably seen it more than i have then

00:13:16.540 yeah like going into it i was like oh no like is it gonna be weird with like how obsessed the

00:13:21.260 father is with his daughter is it gonna read odd great news no no creepiness from steve martin's

00:13:27.000 like overwhelming obsession with his daughter somehow he makes that all paternal it's the

00:13:31.500 casting man yeah steve martin has an uncanny ability to not come off as creepy yeah which is

00:13:36.840 excellent i had a very different experience of it because as eric said i am team george i am so

00:13:43.680 team george i want to come into this movie so early on and be like george you are gonna get

00:13:48.960 gaslit by your family stay strong by your entire family you are right and they are wrong you're

00:13:54.040 not going to be right about everything but you're right about 90 percent of the stuff that you say

00:13:58.100 yeah the backyard barbecue is a terrible idea that's a bad idea the steak pit no keep going

00:14:01.720 but we'll keep going we're going to talk about this a lot yeah we have lots of opinions about

00:14:04.720 this movie erica the tagline for father of the bride was love is wonderful until it happens to

00:14:11.040 your only daughter so that's funny it's funny that's really funny when i first saw it it made

00:14:16.520 me doubly concerned about the whole creepiness factor coming in which again it does not yeah

00:14:20.480 he's not like trying to protect her chastity or anything yeah it's not that it's it's other

00:14:24.720 good reasons okay anyway we'll keep going he has good reasons you guys do you want to read the

00:14:31.060 itunes synopsis sure steve martin turns in a heartwarming and hilarious performance as george

00:14:36.500 banks a befuddled father who has a hard time letting go of his young daughter when she

00:14:41.380 unexpectedly announces her plans to wed yeah that's good yeah that's it that's cute actual

00:14:47.400 synopsis uh-huh guys nina banks is the villain of this movie we are sorry to inform you i hate to

00:14:54.940 tell you i know if you haven't seen it in a while you're like which one is nina is that the daughter

00:14:58.100 no it's diane keaton's character it's the wife it's the quote-unquote rational person in this

00:15:04.400 family she's supposed to be the rational one and now we have swans on the lawn yeah swans nina 0.99

00:15:09.880 your job was to be rational you've gone to the dark side what the fuck can we let karen 1.00

00:15:15.540 Culkin planned this wedding, for God's sake. 0.99

00:15:17.280 He had opinions.

00:15:18.060 He's the only useful one.

00:15:19.320 He is.

00:15:19.680 In that entire family.

00:15:21.080 Alternate actual synopsis.

00:15:22.540 A film that is either about a man who is completely right when he says his daughter shouldn't

00:15:26.960 marry someone she's known for less than a year, or a film that is about a man who is

00:15:30.920 completely right when he says he doesn't want to spend the amount equivalent to the GDP

00:15:34.060 of a small country on a wedding.

00:15:35.640 Yes.

00:15:36.140 Yeah.

00:15:36.520 I did the math, Paul.

00:15:37.940 Did you do the math?

00:15:38.580 I didn't.

00:15:39.360 Okay, guys.

00:15:39.800 I was too afraid to, honestly.

00:15:41.240 Buckle up. 0.98

00:15:41.780 In today's money, today's money, 20, 25, whatever fucking year we're in, this wedding costs $350,000. 1.00

00:15:50.920 No, no, no. 0.98

00:15:51.740 Yeah, and I'm not even thinking about the dress.

00:15:54.060 I'm only thinking about the number of people they have, plus the price that they quoted him of $250 a head,

00:15:59.840 plus some additional stuff that I saw early on, like the cake is $1,200 or whatever.

00:16:04.940 So not including the dress, not including travel costs, which we will get into, not including any of that.

00:16:09.940 He has spent $350,000 to have a wedding at his own house.

00:16:17.040 At his own house.

00:16:17.800 At his own house.

00:16:19.420 As he very rightfully says in this movie, it's going to cost us $1,000 to be in our own house.

00:16:26.560 That is insane.

00:16:29.440 Yes.

00:16:29.880 Like, as soon as you start to, like, really think about it, the movie loses.

00:16:33.860 Like, you pull one thread and the whole movie...

00:16:35.380 It all falls apart.

00:16:36.620 The emperor could not have fewer clothes on.

00:16:39.940 I am so on Steve Martin's side, the entire movie.

00:17:21.420 And we're back.

00:17:25.300 We open with a long pan over the remnants of a wedding reception

00:17:29.500 before eventually finding George Banks, played by Steve Martin.

00:17:34.360 Do you think they just didn't realize that George Banks is the name of the father in Mary Poppins?

00:17:38.540 Or is that like an intentional reference?

00:17:41.060 Oh, cute.

00:17:41.880 Maybe it's an intentional reference.

00:17:43.080 Yeah.

00:17:43.660 He is sitting in an armchair.

00:17:45.220 He's rubbing his feet.

00:17:46.760 He directly addresses the camera and he says,

00:17:49.560 I used to think a wedding was a simple affair.

00:17:51.660 Boy and girl meet.

00:17:52.600 They fall in love.

00:17:53.600 He buys a ring.

00:17:54.660 She buys a dress.

00:17:55.540 They say I do.

00:17:56.500 I was wrong.

00:17:57.420 That's getting married.

00:17:58.780 A wedding is an entirely different proposition.

00:18:01.520 I know.

00:18:02.400 I've just been through one.

00:18:03.800 Not my own.

00:18:04.540 My daughter's.

00:18:05.280 Annie Banks McKenzie.

00:18:06.480 George goes on to lament about how children grow up and you constantly are worrying about them for one reason or another.

00:18:12.860 And then he ends with, and before you know it, you're sitting all alone in a big empty house, wearing rice on your tux, wondering what happened to your life.

00:18:21.240 It was just six months ago that that happened here.

00:18:24.340 Just six months ago that the storm broke.

00:18:27.240 Oh, poor George.

00:18:28.380 Poor George.

00:18:29.400 I really do feel for George.

00:18:31.360 Yeah.

00:18:31.720 Yeah.

00:18:32.180 He gets the short end of the stick in this. 0.64

00:18:33.680 I am here to stand up for old, straight, white men. 0.67

00:18:37.680 Finally.

00:18:38.820 Will no one think of the old, straight, white men, the upper-middle-class white men in the world?

00:18:44.320 We cut back six months and find George at his job.

00:18:47.460 He runs or he owns an athletic shoe company.

00:18:50.060 It's called Sidekicks.

00:18:51.800 He eagerly awaits word that his aspiring architect daughter, Annie, is back from her semester at Rome.

00:18:57.340 This is important to note.

00:18:58.540 Semester at Rome.

00:18:59.580 Annie is still in college.

00:19:01.000 Yeah.

00:19:01.120 His assistant tells him that she's landed.

00:19:03.360 She gets over the microphone and she's like, George, George, Annie's plane has landed.

00:19:08.440 He jumps into his classic car, which is very cute.

00:19:11.920 It's apparently a 1959 Austin Healey 3000.

00:19:15.060 Apparently.

00:19:15.780 Also, at one point in the movie, his wife is like, we don't own fancy cars.

00:19:19.680 I know. 0.99

00:19:20.120 And I was like, bitch, what do you think a fancy car is? 1.00

00:19:24.240 She's also like, I don't have jewelry. 1.00

00:19:25.600 This woman is wearing a string of pearls in every single scene of this film. 1.00

00:19:28.640 She's wearing like double pearls every scene. 0.99

00:19:30.520 And like, maybe they're fake.

00:19:31.580 Fine. 1.00

00:19:31.880 but like that car is not a fake and nothing about that woman implies she would wear fake pearls

00:19:36.340 not one thing there's a cute line here where he's like he starts to like run around the factory and

00:19:41.720 he's like and he's here and he's here and he's here and all his like employees know about this

00:19:45.200 and they're like oh yay we're so glad she's home and he goes you get it juan you have kids you like

00:19:49.940 them when they're on the ground you don't want them in the air i hate when she flies and i'm like

00:19:53.500 i could not have seen my own parents more yeah and then in this scene i have i come from the

00:19:59.200 most helicopter-y of helicopter parents of all time and like they it's so cute like i'm like oh

00:20:05.160 they love me we talked about this a little bit in planes trains and automobiles but i love

00:20:09.420 frustrated steve martin yeah angry frustrated steve martin is the best like he really plays

00:20:14.400 that to the hilt yep so he runs to pick up annie's welcome home present which is her old bike that he

00:20:19.880 had like cleaned up and souped up for her it's very sweet gift and then he tells us in voiceover

00:20:24.540 that he has always been a concerned parent.

00:20:27.400 He and his family have lived in their large suburban house

00:20:29.900 in their small Southern California town

00:20:31.800 called San Marino since Annie was five.

00:20:34.640 And nothing has changed since then.

00:20:36.860 The town is exactly the same.

00:20:38.280 The house is exactly the same.

00:20:39.600 And that suits him just fine

00:20:41.520 because he is not someone who likes change.

00:20:44.140 Yeah.

00:20:44.500 Same, George.

00:20:45.300 Yeah, I hear you.

00:20:46.000 I love a rut.

00:20:47.360 I love it.

00:20:48.680 I would just like to say that I don't care much about sports,

00:20:51.820 But the viscerally negative reaction I have to a bright red baseball cap now, it's not fair to the 49ers.

00:20:58.740 It's not fair to the Cardinals or the Reds.

00:21:00.740 I know.

00:21:01.060 He puts on a bright red baseball cap.

00:21:02.720 Any other team that I've lost interest in listing.

00:21:04.960 Like, I'm sorry.

00:21:05.640 I can't help it.

00:21:06.560 It's instinctive.

00:21:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:08.700 I feel I had the exact same thought.

00:21:10.580 Yeah.

00:21:10.920 All right.

00:21:11.220 So George enters the house.

00:21:12.620 He has this great line and voiceover when he walks in.

00:21:15.220 I think that this movie shines in its sweetness.

00:21:18.500 The comedy is also really good.

00:21:19.940 But the moments I remembered the most outside of the comedy from Martin Short and B.D. Wong, which is excellent, are the sweet family love.

00:21:29.460 Sincerity.

00:21:29.980 Yes.

00:21:30.840 He says, the thing I like best in this house are the voices I hear when I walk through the door.

00:21:35.040 That's very, that's adorable.

00:21:36.660 Yeah.

00:21:37.540 So he greets his wife, Nina, Diane Keaton, and his young son, Matt, Kieran Culkin.

00:21:42.860 He's like eight or nine.

00:21:43.760 the amount of an afterthought that maddie is to these people to his own parents the amount that

00:21:51.040 they like turn around and see him and they're like oh you again it's it's staggering yeah they

00:21:56.500 don't have a favorite child they have one child yeah and a small person that lives in their house

00:22:01.620 with them and a whoopsie baby that they frankly don't care for uh so he is most excited george

00:22:09.020 is most excited to see Annie, played by Kimberly Williams. 0.92

00:22:12.500 She appears at the top of the stairs. 0.82

00:22:14.140 She's wearing a short little black cocktail dress 0.91

00:22:15.740 and a string of pearls.

00:22:16.740 She looks very like going to be presented

00:22:18.480 at like her debutante ball.

00:22:20.020 She looks very chic.

00:22:20.880 She looks like a girl who just came back from Rome

00:22:22.900 for three months.

00:22:23.620 She's like, I've gotten chic. 0.93

00:22:25.140 And then she hops on the banister

00:22:26.460 and slides down the banister into George's arms, right?

00:22:29.040 So very cute.

00:22:29.860 Oh, I love this.

00:22:30.060 It's so sweet.

00:22:31.020 It's iconic, this moment.

00:22:33.060 She's thrilled to see her father,

00:22:34.460 but he can't help but notice how much more worldly she seemed.

00:22:37.340 She's wearing perfume.

00:22:38.180 Oh, it was a gift. Hmm, this is odd. We don't love this.

00:22:41.860 We cut to the family at dinner, and George is pitching different things they could do together.

00:22:45.320 They go to a Lakers game. Paul Simon is at the forum.

00:22:48.600 Annie is, like, agreeing. She's agreeing, but she's a little hesitant,

00:22:51.120 and then she kind of haltingly tells her parents she has an announcement.

00:22:55.600 A few months ago in Rome, I met a wonderful man named Brian McKenzie,

00:23:00.160 and they've been together since the day they met, and now we're getting married! I'm engaged!

00:23:05.440 Yeah.

00:23:05.740 Okay. Unforced error. The number of unforced errors that Annie will... She knows her parents.

00:23:12.880 She knows her parents. She essentially digs a pit and lets her fiance walk right into it.

00:23:20.240 Poor Brian doesn't stand a chance.

00:23:22.720 Like, look, Brian, do not call my father dad. He's not going to like it.

00:23:26.900 He's not going to like it, sir. He's going to tell you not to call him sir.

00:23:29.820 Keep calling him sir until we have a child.

00:23:32.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:33.680 That's the way in.

00:23:34.840 Okay, let's just get to like my issues with the movie right here.

00:23:38.520 Even when I was a kid, even, I'm not kidding. 0.94

00:23:40.640 I was like 9, 10, 11 years old, whatever the fuck this movie came out. 0.97

00:23:43.760 And I was watching this and I was like, she seems awfully young to be getting married. 0.94

00:23:47.620 And she just, wait, she met this guy three months ago.

00:23:49.920 She doesn't even, he's never met her parents and they're going to get married.

00:23:54.120 And she's never even told her parents that he exists.

00:23:57.020 Oh, yeah.

00:23:57.320 On like a phone call.

00:23:58.540 Yeah.

00:23:59.240 You're telling me this daughter doesn't have a scheduled phone call at least twice a week with her father.

00:24:04.200 With her parents.

00:24:04.840 She doesn't have to write them, like, a postcard every single week at least just to, like, check in.

00:24:10.040 Because I know phone calls are expensive in 1991 or whatever.

00:24:13.020 But, like, she wrote them a letter every single week.

00:24:15.780 And there's literally no way if she called collect, her father wouldn't accept the charges.

00:24:19.000 Again, he's about to spend $350,000 on her wedding.

00:24:23.620 To make her happy.

00:24:25.080 They met three months ago and got engaged.

00:24:28.120 No, no, no, they met two months.

00:24:29.740 I want to say she's been in Rome for three months

00:24:32.740 and about a month in is when she met that guy.

00:24:35.260 Sure, that could be true.

00:24:36.360 So like I, let's be generous

00:24:38.740 and say she met this guy three months ago.

00:24:41.540 Who you are when you are in a foreign country,

00:24:44.260 who you are when you are in Rome

00:24:45.740 is not who you are when you're in San Marino, California.

00:24:49.500 Correct.

00:24:50.380 Do not get engaged to somebody

00:24:52.620 when you're like having a fun,

00:24:55.500 I know it's not a vacation,

00:24:56.680 she's studying, he's working,

00:24:57.880 But you're in an environment that screams romance.

00:25:02.200 Do not get engaged.

00:25:04.580 Go home first.

00:25:06.340 Meet each other's families first.

00:25:08.580 Yeah.

00:25:08.960 Then get engaged. 0.93

00:25:10.500 Wait six months.

00:25:11.560 Even a six-month courtship for me seems a little fast to get engaged.

00:25:16.680 Particularly at 22.

00:25:17.540 Yeah, particularly at 22.

00:25:18.780 But like, fine.

00:25:20.220 Three months?

00:25:21.140 Three months is too fast.

00:25:22.160 The person I can project for three months. 1.00

00:25:24.880 the goddess i can project to some random fucker who doesn't know any better yeah for three months 0.94

00:25:30.660 the understanding the patience the calmness the like the willingness to go the extra mile in 0.97

00:25:38.260 certain ways if you know what i mean like for three months you can pretend to be anyone it's

00:25:43.740 true there is no way that annie has pooped in brian's apartment zero chance happened it has

00:25:49.540 not happened yeah or him to hers because look let's get when we meet brian yeah this is not

00:25:54.500 someone who poops in annie's apartment either i'm gonna i'm gonna have a counterpoint on that

00:25:57.820 brian does seem like someone who may not have that much choice in when he poops he seems like

00:26:01.780 someone for whom ibs is is that old friend you know what's funny is that we know so little about

00:26:06.700 brian but i really like him anyway the actor they cast to play him is so good okay so annie tells

00:26:12.920 her parents to she's engaged someone they've never they've never met nina the mom diane keaton

00:26:18.620 succeeds in maintaining her poise george goes into a fugue state george goes this is ridiculous 0.69

00:26:27.520 yeah you are too young and annie's like i'm 22 i'm a year older than you were when like you got

00:26:33.820 married and george is like that's not true at all and nina's like she's right actually in fact

00:26:38.740 i was 22 when i was her mother so she's she's well ahead of us at this point and he's like

00:26:44.400 whose side are you on Nina and I'm like whose side are you on Nina yeah George tries to appeal

00:26:49.380 to Annie's feminist ideals right he's like wait a minute what about having your own business first

00:26:53.960 starting your own life being your own person these are all excellent excellent questions

00:26:58.360 excellent points you seem to have a really good idea of what you wanted three months ago before

00:27:03.200 you left for Rome and now you're back here and you're telling me you've met a man and your

00:27:07.060 personality has changed i'm concerned i am deeply concerned roman brian was was suave and spoke

00:27:15.440 italian and knew the right wine to order san marino brian's not gonna do the dishes san marino brian's

00:27:22.600 gonna gonna make really embarrassing jokes in front of your friends he's gonna put he's gonna

00:27:26.780 hop onto your bed with his shoes still on oh no i wouldn't even allow that in rome

00:27:32.000 so anyway george is like listen this is a terrible idea and she's like no no no brian supports me

00:27:38.840 having a career and pursuing my dreams she says give me a little credit george unforced error 0.95

00:27:45.100 number two the fuck are you doing what are you doing you you should be calling and i this is 0.98

00:27:51.600 gonna sound weird and i don't mean it too but i you should be resorting to be like hey daddy 0.99

00:27:55.040 that's what you should be doing right now hey papa pop hey papa hey hey dad hey listen i

00:28:01.700 understand you're nervous about me don't don't condescend to the man george listen up george

00:28:07.600 especially given what we now know annie's gonna ask of george yeah for the rest of the film she

00:28:12.740 even says that brian is willing to move to wherever she goes to get a job and they're like what does

00:28:18.280 brian do this seems made up who is brian and i'm like you're right this does seem made up brian you

00:28:23.340 know who brian is brian is like a black doves operative yeah and somehow annie is involved

00:28:27.940 like she has some connection to the government that even she's unaware of maybe Nina is a sleeper

00:28:33.240 agent Brian's out to get Nina like let's figure this out you guys did Diane Keaton ever do an

00:28:38.240 action movie oh good question I don't know really funny it's like it's like a secret agent like you

00:28:43.860 know like the the like Helen Mirren roles that she takes later on like I feel like yeah Diane

00:28:49.000 Keaton would be amazing at those like I don't usually like seeing people like construct a

00:28:52.320 machine gun but I do kind of want to see Diane Keaton construct a machine gun no film has enough 1.00

00:28:56.600 budget the the amount of hours it would take to teach her how to do that ai would have to get 0.54

00:29:01.620 involved so nina's like oh he's willing to fly to wherever you are what is what does he do and

00:29:06.900 annie says he is an independent communications consultant and george is like that means

00:29:12.480 unemployed and i was with george on this one too again i was like that does sound suspicious yeah

00:29:18.500 what does that mean that sounds like freelance writer that's what that sounds like yeah yeah

00:29:22.840 With love and respect to my freelance writer friends.

00:29:25.140 That sounds like podcaster.

00:29:26.560 That's not a real job.

00:29:27.540 No.

00:29:27.960 We know that.

00:29:28.920 This is just fun.

00:29:29.840 This isn't work.

00:29:31.600 George is now spinning out.

00:29:33.160 And he's like, cool.

00:29:34.080 So now I'm going to have to give my son-in-law a job at my factory, fire someone who's been

00:29:38.860 there for years and is more qualified just to give him a job so that you'll have a roof

00:29:43.160 over your head.

00:29:44.040 You are not getting married.

00:29:45.500 And that is final.

00:29:47.820 Annie's like, I am an adult and I can do what I want.

00:29:50.300 And she walks out of the room in a snit.

00:29:52.340 And Nina is like, George, you are overreacting.

00:29:55.840 This is the only time in the movie Nina is correct about anything.

00:29:59.620 Enjoy it while you can.

00:30:01.160 Soak it up.

00:30:01.820 Soak it up.

00:30:02.520 And George defends himself by saying they've never even met the guy.

00:30:05.780 He could be 45. 1.00

00:30:07.180 Also true.

00:30:07.840 Oh, my God.

00:30:08.420 What if, like, Jack Nicholson walks through that door?

00:30:10.960 Like, basically, like, I know Nancy Meyers made that movie, but what if that movie were this movie?

00:30:15.500 It'd be awesome. 0.97

00:30:17.720 And Nina's like, go talk to her. 1.00

00:30:20.480 Make good with Annie. 1.00

00:30:21.620 We do not want her running out of here and eloping and never talking to us again.

00:30:25.140 So go fix this.

00:30:26.600 Which is, again, this is the part Nina's right about.

00:30:29.500 Like, if we overreact, we're going to push her further towards this.

00:30:32.720 We have to, like, let it play out.

00:30:34.700 Yeah. 1.00

00:30:35.280 Nina being rational is a moving target in the film. 0.97

00:30:38.720 Nina is sold to us as the rational person in this family. 0.84

00:30:42.560 But then she does some stuff later that I'm like, no.

00:30:45.400 Indefensible.

00:30:46.080 Indefensible.

00:30:46.960 Indefensible.

00:30:47.760 George heads outside to find Annie.

00:30:49.780 She's pouting on the porch.

00:30:50.980 She tells him that Brian is employed.

00:30:52.980 In fact, he's a computer genius.

00:30:55.100 Companies send him all over the world.

00:30:56.900 Also, he's 26, not 45.

00:30:59.960 You guys still think I can't hear you when I'm one room away.

00:31:03.320 Okay, fine.

00:31:04.360 Smell you, Nancy Drew.

00:31:06.340 George has regained at least some of his cool.

00:31:09.080 He apologizes.

00:31:10.480 And he says, look, I'm excited to meet him.

00:31:12.980 If you love him, I know I'll love him.

00:31:15.180 And she's like, great, he'll be here in an hour.

00:31:17.360 Annie, what are you doing?

00:31:18.860 What, what, what are you doing?

00:31:20.980 George keeps his cool. My girl by the temptations, come on. And the two of them start to play

00:31:27.460 basketball in a way that, get this, Erica, I have never before said this on the podcast,

00:31:32.180 it doesn't suck. To see people on screen playing basketball in a way that doesn't make me want to

00:31:38.160 go to Madison Square Garden and inscribe a pentagram into the center thing and beg the

00:31:42.720 underworld to suck me down was such a relief. Yeah, because even she's very good at basketball, 1.00

00:31:49.540 Not very good, but believably good. 0.59

00:31:52.400 Believably good. 0.98

00:31:53.380 She's good enough at it that I tried to find out if Kimberly Williams played basketball in high school or something.

00:31:58.160 I was like, she's not great, but she looks like she understands what basketball is.

00:32:02.480 A hundred percent.

00:32:03.740 Just really quick, there's a great line in this scene where George is like, he could be anything.

00:32:08.660 He could be like, what's an independent consultant?

00:32:10.900 And what if he doesn't want to move to where you go?

00:32:13.300 And she goes, dad, he's not some overpowering macho guy.

00:32:17.800 He's like you.

00:32:18.860 And then he starts to smile and he goes, and then she goes, only he's brilliant.

00:32:22.980 Yeah.

00:32:24.280 Unforced error.

00:32:25.320 What are you doing?

00:32:26.660 Annie.

00:32:27.080 Did you not plan this?

00:32:28.880 Jesus Christ.

00:32:30.560 An hour later, while George is still stewing, Nina tries to keep a lid on him and Brian arrives.

00:32:36.260 All right.

00:32:36.440 I have something to say about Brian.

00:32:37.820 I love Brian.

00:32:38.960 He looks like a real goober.

00:32:40.800 I love Brian.

00:32:42.180 Look, men, if you are wearing khaki pants and a white button down with a navy blazer and like a red pattern tie,

00:32:48.560 stop start again go home and also by the way sneakers nikes which is another thing i'm telling

00:32:55.560 you annie wanted him to fail don't wear nikes go buy sidekicks you're a millionaire go buy sidekicks 0.93

00:33:01.800 and wear them to my father's house yeah it is time to suck up your lips should be permanently 0.99

00:33:07.620 attached to my father's ass cheeks i have to defend the outfit in that it's in 1991 this would 0.99

00:33:15.720 have been the epitome of cool absolutely he looks like george stephanopoulos would have in 1991 he 0.97

00:33:21.940 looks like a young he looks like he he looks like he could be playing on the harvard law school

00:33:26.580 pickup luge team squad that's what was cool man i know look i can't defend it either but that's

00:33:32.740 what was cool back then nina welcomes brian in she's very warm george does a reasonable job of

00:33:39.200 being pleasant and he comes downstairs and they adjourn to the living room and brian is clearly

00:33:43.780 nervous he's again this actor just is like the sweetest face it's a little serial killer though

00:33:48.720 right you you said this in the past because he was in um he was in uh adventures in babysitting

00:33:54.200 and you had the exact same thought i think he has the face of an angel to me this boy just looks

00:33:59.260 like an angel to me it's like the face of a precious moment where it's a little off

00:34:02.720 i think like the casting could not be more perfect because like he he gets so little to do

00:34:09.680 in this movie but like you give me that face and i'm like oh okay so brian and annie are sitting

00:34:16.540 next to each other on the couch george and nina are across from them brian is doing his best to

00:34:21.040 impress his future in-laws he's saying all the right things annie meanwhile does not read the

00:34:25.480 room well enough to to stop hanging all over brian in front of her father so she's just like

00:34:31.440 grabbing his arm and and brian without thinking like has his hand on annie's knee and that's

00:34:37.560 All George sees is this man's hand on Annie's knee.

00:34:41.800 Yep.

00:34:42.640 Nina, on the other hand, completely charmed, right?

00:34:45.180 Nina's me.

00:34:45.920 You're George.

00:34:46.740 Yeah. 0.98

00:34:47.040 Nina's like, face of an angel.

00:34:48.340 What could go wrong?

00:34:49.500 And I'm like, everything.

00:34:50.920 Preppy killer.

00:34:51.700 Yeah.

00:34:52.140 Ted Bundy.

00:34:52.760 I'm seeing basements, tarps, and bone saws.

00:34:55.800 We've learned nothing.

00:34:57.980 So Brian ends his little speech with how much he adores Annie, and Nina is sold.

00:35:02.940 Nina is so sold that she's crying.

00:35:04.640 George is like, he wrote that in the car. 0.99

00:35:06.840 I'm with George

00:35:07.900 This would not work on me

00:35:09.540 This is too much

00:35:10.680 I'm on

00:35:11.080 I'm still team Nina here 0.99

00:35:12.800 You are love bombing my daughter 1.00

00:35:14.240 Get the fuck out 1.00

00:35:15.020 I'm still Nina 0.96

00:35:16.760 Honestly

00:35:17.400 I'd be like

00:35:18.020 Oh look

00:35:18.980 They're so in love

00:35:19.860 It's so cute

00:35:20.780 Annie and Brian decide

00:35:22.880 To head out for a drive

00:35:23.840 So Annie can show him

00:35:24.860 Her town

00:35:25.680 Right

00:35:26.000 Cause oh

00:35:26.380 So Brian's from LA

00:35:27.520 I don't know if we mentioned that

00:35:28.420 They're from adjoining towns

00:35:30.040 But he's from LA

00:35:30.880 And she's from this

00:35:31.580 Fictional I think

00:35:32.820 Town called San Marino

00:35:33.900 I don't think it's real

00:35:35.020 George is like

00:35:36.100 it's cold out you should you should put on a sweater or something and andy's like no i'm fine

00:35:40.060 dad he's like really because you've been outside playing basketball and now you're in she's like

00:35:43.080 dad i'm fine and then brian goes actually it is kind of cold out she goes oh okay i'll put on a

00:35:47.300 jacket yeah i felt that one to my bones right in the kidney right in the kidney can i can we go

00:35:52.820 back to the conversation for one moment before moving on sure we it is mentioned that nina also

00:35:57.040 has a business so george and nina are both business owners yeah we don't know what nina's business is

00:36:02.280 I'm guessing interior design. 1.00

00:36:03.720 I'm guessing not interior design because that fucking living room looks like my grandmother threw up in it. 1.00

00:36:09.560 It is. 0.99

00:36:10.780 Would you like your living room to look like the inside of a Joanne's Fabrics dumpster?

00:36:15.800 Like go ask Nina to find a lacy pillow with 14 different floral patterns on it for you.

00:36:21.780 It is interior design, Paul, because that is exactly what women would have would have paid money for back then.

00:36:27.040 I hated this living room.

00:36:28.020 It was so ugly.

00:36:28.520 I wonder if, like, if Diane Keaton walked in and was like, ugh, all right, I guess.

00:36:33.460 I don't understand this character at all.

00:36:35.080 Yeah, I'm lost.

00:36:37.320 This is not how I would do my own house, but okay. 1.00

00:36:40.300 If there's one thing we know about Diane Keaton, it's that she has taste. 1.00

00:36:43.120 That bitch is stylish. 1.00

00:36:44.180 Yeah. 1.00

00:36:44.860 So George and Nina head upstairs to get ready for bed.

00:36:47.140 This is a very charming scene.

00:36:48.720 Like, they're kind of, like, you know, getting undressed as they walk up the stairs.

00:36:51.800 Not in a sexy way, just, like, kind of getting unbuttoned.

00:36:54.820 George is in complete disbelief that Nina is on board with this plan. 0.85

00:36:58.460 Nina largely ignores George's spiral.

00:37:00.380 He thinks that Brian might be a con artist.

00:37:02.720 He thinks he saw him featured on America's Most Wanted.

00:37:05.200 She's just like, look, I'm excited for her.

00:37:07.520 I'm excited for our daughter.

00:37:08.740 She kisses George in the mouth and she goes to bed. 0.66

00:37:11.080 These people have seven pillows on their bed.

00:37:13.040 Did you notice that?

00:37:14.000 Too many.

00:37:14.500 And I'm not talking like little tiny throw pillows,

00:37:16.740 like big, giant, king-sized pillows.

00:37:19.420 She's moving pillows from one side of the bed to the other 1.00

00:37:21.920 just to give Diane Keaton something to do while she's talking.

00:37:24.840 And I'm like counting them and I'm like, why do you have so?

00:37:27.280 also like all she's doing is redistributing she's not moving them off the bed she's just putting

00:37:33.040 them at the foot of the bed i'm like what is that for there's some real i'm actually an alien trying

00:37:37.660 to act like a human behavior in this movie and that is one of the spots and i'm like who like

00:37:41.720 like this is bad directing i get you want to give her some business to do but like give her something

00:37:46.440 that like a person does so we cut to nina and george it's it's a couple weeks later they're

00:37:52.520 driving through bel-air they're heading to meet brian's parents for some reason without annie and 0.65

00:37:57.520 brian unforced error why are you not monitoring your father annie you know he's a nutbag i say

00:38:05.460 that with deep love and affection love and affection and and belief that he's right in 0.64

00:38:10.020 everything he's doing but he's a wingnut come on george mutters that brian's parents probably live

00:38:15.360 in the only shack in the neighborhood and they pull up to an enormous gated mansion and he 0.63

00:38:19.360 immediately said it's even worse they're snobs look at them they're they're rich they're billionaires 0.96

00:38:23.320 yeah there's no such thing as a good billionaire exactly nina's like get it together can you at 0.94

00:38:28.200 least pretend to be in a good mood and he's like i am in a good mood what are you talking about 0.53

00:38:31.320 which is very funny they ring the bell they're welcomed by john and joanna mckenzie played by

00:38:37.100 the great peter michael gets or goats i'm not sure how that's pronounced and kate mcgregor stewart

00:38:42.740 character actors you've seen them in a bunch of stuff yep they are the sort of in many ways the

00:38:46.760 opposites of george and nina where like the father is in this family the mckenzie family the father

00:38:52.680 is like the warm gooey one and the mom seems to be the more like i guess rational one is what i

00:38:58.180 would say and like and he gets he gets like the clump yeah he gets choked up he gets choked up

00:39:03.720 talking about the love of his daughter and his his son and his daughter-in-law and it's very

00:39:08.280 sweet i just love the runner in this movie that this guy cries at the drop of a hat yeah i love

00:39:12.420 it so we go into the mansion the mckenzie mansion paul what do you think now that we've discussed

00:39:17.840 the home in yeah we're in for we know it's not actually a nancy myers movie but it's nancy myers

00:39:23.520 adjacent um the inside of the mckenzie mansion is in a word ugly it looks like someone took

00:39:31.320 the temple of dender at the met and decided to to blow out that kind of decor on the inside of

00:39:37.940 their house yeah it's a lot of like we travel to africa and we buy pieces and bring them back home 0.91

00:39:42.720 and put them in our house like concrete floors and pillars and planters that are too big it's

00:39:48.500 it's it it's just ugly it's ugly i don't know how else to say it i didn't mind it if i'm being

00:39:54.060 honest i i think i also like look i'm a sucker for just a big house and it's very big and it's

00:40:00.280 very it's very pretty yeah george is looking around the house and he's in voiceover he's like

00:40:05.660 our entire house could fit in their foyer holy shit these people are rich he's like now feeling

00:40:11.240 a little more threatened because he's like not okay now he's losing his daughter and he's losing 0.94

00:40:15.240 his daughter to this much wealthier family how am i ever going to compete or compare to these guys

00:40:21.100 when like the house that i was so proud of at the beginning of the movie the the home that i built 0.59

00:40:25.840 with my wife just seems so like small and pathetic in his eyes compared to this enormous mansion

00:40:32.420 right to be clear the house and father of the bride is so beautiful it's gorgeous it's actually 0.96

00:40:38.000 so beautiful it looks like a house from john hughes chicago yeah like gorgeous suburban house

00:40:42.960 funny thing is is i think it's actually in beverly hills oh okay i believe the exterior of it is in

00:40:47.800 beverly hills so he's feeling kind of like extra like nervous now george is meanwhile john and

00:40:53.820 joanna are very friendly they're taking time to introduce george and nina to their latina maid

00:41:00.000 Latina maid and her 0.98

00:41:01.000 Everyone we have a Latina maid 1.00

00:41:02.720 Marta 0.87

00:41:04.000 He vaguely condescendingly

00:41:05.980 Like turns to Marta

00:41:07.080 And he's like

00:41:07.460 Marta

00:41:08.200 This is George and Annie

00:41:09.980 Son

00:41:10.900 Estos son nuestros in-laws 1.00

00:41:13.320 And I'm like bitch 1.00

00:41:14.240 If you cared even a little bit 1.00

00:41:15.980 About that woman 0.99

00:41:16.580 You would know the word 1.00

00:41:17.600 Suegro

00:41:18.300 Okay just say

00:41:19.600 Suegro 1.00

00:41:20.080 Learn the fucking word 1.00

00:41:21.720 For in-law in Spanish 1.00

00:41:22.760 If you're gonna even go there

00:41:24.160 Estos son nuestros in-laws

00:41:26.140 And like I was like

00:41:26.840 I don't care for this

00:41:28.220 And if Marta understands 0.98

00:41:29.520 the word in-laws she's gonna understand these are our yes they're just being dicks i look i have 0.96

00:41:35.600 nothing against these people truly but like this one part did annoy me and again marta the hispanic 0.96

00:41:40.420 maid yeah yeah so less friendly than marta are the three giant i think doberman pinchers it's 0.98

00:41:46.540 like two dobermans and one other dog i couldn't identify the breed on shit they have these 0.86

00:41:50.060 enormous dogs that they're like we swear they're friendly and the dogs immediately start to growl 0.98

00:41:54.780 George because they're like oh maybe maybe they pick up on your nervous energy or something and

00:42:00.220 George George is like I'm relaxed I'm fine I'm cool nothing to be nervous about and the dogs are

00:42:04.760 like he also does that cute doggy voice which always makes dogs bark at you yeah don't do that

00:42:10.840 hello bubby and John goes release and the dogs stop and run away the two couples sit down in

00:42:17.860 the living room also ugly in my opinion uh John breaks out the champagne he asks George hey how

00:42:24.580 did you take the news and george says well i was surprised and john's like i was shocked and george

00:42:30.320 thinks ah thank god thank god all right i have an ally and slowing down the wheels on this crazy

00:42:35.720 train but alas john goes on and he says i've come to realize that you know they're grown up and you

00:42:41.980 just have to let your kids go and hope you brought them up well and they're gonna make good choices

00:42:45.500 which is actually correct at a certain point yeah they are 22 and 26 they're technically adults yeah

00:42:50.960 We actually have no say in this.

00:42:53.680 So John passes out the champagne.

00:42:55.500 He starts to give an emotional toast.

00:42:56.840 This is when he starts to break down, like Erica was talking about.

00:42:58.940 He gets teary-eyed.

00:42:59.920 There's a really funny moment here where Steve Martin takes a sip of champagne as soon as it's handed to him just because he needs a drink.

00:43:05.420 And then he realizes there's a toast coming, and he spits it back into his glass.

00:43:09.140 And Nina next to him is like, oh, my God.

00:43:13.680 George decides he needs a break.

00:43:15.740 He asks for the restroom, and Joanna explains, oh, the downstairs one is being remodeled.

00:43:20.200 hopefully to something that doesn't look like a morgue and george can use the one upstairs

00:43:25.340 it's the seventh door on the left second no seventh seventh seventh door on the left i don't

00:43:32.520 think the house i grew up in had seven doors i'm trying to count only internal doors it definitely

00:43:37.440 have seven internal doors yeah i'm trying to think did i uh yeah let's only count internals

00:43:42.160 no not even close well i guess if we count closet doors we get there but not bedroom doors we didn't

00:43:47.260 have doors we had like sliding closets so i'm not counting mine okay fair enough fair enough

00:43:51.280 we cut to george upstairs in their enormous bathroom he's washing up he the medicine cabinet

00:43:56.960 is open and he you know at first says the normal thing of just closing it and then he thinks no

00:44:02.120 hang on and then who amongst us yeah he opens the the cab medicine cabinet door starts rifling

00:44:07.660 through there to look at their medications what are they on by the way small small story about

00:44:12.180 about paul and me i've stayed at his house many many many times overnight and uh there is a

00:44:18.540 medicine cabinet in the bathroom that i stay in and i didn't know it was a medicine cabinet

00:44:23.240 and paul was trying to explain to me how to find something and i was like what do you mean it's

00:44:28.580 behind the mirror i don't understand he's like that's a door erica you can open it

00:44:34.060 and i just want to say a yeah i'm an idiot but also b how how well you you are able to trust me 0.88

00:44:41.640 Yeah, not a snoop. 0.99

00:44:43.020 Not once did it occur to me to snoop around in your medicine cabinet. 0.80

00:44:46.180 And I always went to all the trouble of taking the lube and the dildos out of that medicine cabinet when Erica was coming over.

00:44:50.920 Not anymore.

00:44:51.540 Could have kept them in the whole time.

00:44:52.900 Because that's usually the sex toy cabinet. 1.00

00:44:54.260 We have to replace it with, like, Band-Aids and allergy medication whenever she comes over.

00:44:57.880 So he closes that medicine cabinet.

00:45:00.120 He goes to the other, like, mirror on the wall that looks identical to the medicine cabinet.

00:45:04.840 But, of course, that one is not a medicine cabinet.

00:45:07.120 That one actually is a mirror.

00:45:08.540 And he accidentally pulls the mirror off the wall.

00:45:10.500 He's like, ugh.

00:45:11.160 Yeah.

00:45:11.300 And so he kind of fixes it really fast.

00:45:13.380 And he's like, okay, let me get out of here.

00:45:15.560 But he winds up in John's office.

00:45:17.860 John's beautiful, appointed, law books everywhere.

00:45:20.760 He must be a lawyer, office.

00:45:22.080 He can't help himself. 0.99

00:45:23.360 God damn it, he just can't help himself. 0.99

00:45:24.620 He starts to snoop. 0.99

00:45:25.780 And he finds his bank book.

00:45:27.900 Yeah.

00:45:28.120 And he starts to look through the man's bank book to see what his net worth is, I suppose.

00:45:33.600 That is, that's bad.

00:45:35.040 Look, we are going to be very supportive of George throughout this movie.

00:45:37.000 I'm okay with the medicine cabinet, honestly.

00:45:38.760 Because who amongst us?

00:45:39.880 Whomst?

00:45:40.280 Whomst amongst us? 1.00

00:45:41.300 What, the fucking bank book? 0.99

00:45:42.880 Yeah, that's private. 1.00

00:45:44.060 If you can find antipsychotic medication in the medicine cabinet, that's important.

00:45:48.500 That's important information.

00:45:49.260 That's just research.

00:45:50.160 Yeah. 1.00

00:45:50.300 This is just, you're being a dick. 1.00

00:45:52.040 Stop it. 0.99

00:45:53.740 So he goggles at the numbers he finds therein, because of course the man must be a multimillionaire, right? 1.00

00:45:59.760 And then he hears Marta coming, and he's like, shit, shit. 0.99

00:46:02.060 And he ducks under John's desk, and he finds one of the growling Dobermans under there, like face to face. 0.99

00:46:07.660 And the Doberman's like, brrr.

00:46:09.060 And he's like, okay, okay.

00:46:11.300 No worries.

00:46:12.020 He stands up slowly.

00:46:13.080 He tries to walk away.

00:46:14.040 And then all the other Dobermans come in the room and start hemming him in.

00:46:17.720 And he's, like, tries to remember the thing, the magic word.

00:46:20.840 He's, like, relent.

00:46:22.720 Recoil.

00:46:23.380 Nothing works.

00:46:24.320 Yeah.

00:46:24.480 The Dobermans move towards him, backing him into a door.

00:46:27.500 And he just, like, goes off the balcony.

00:46:32.320 He, like, backs into the balcony and, like, starts to climb down off the balcony, 0.98

00:46:37.320 hanging down from the balcony to figure out what the fuck to do. 0.97

00:46:40.960 and now the dogs are going crazy upstairs smash cut downstairs where nina is speaking with the 0.97

00:46:46.000 mackenzies and george has been gone long enough that questions are starting to rise luckily

00:46:51.880 everyone is sitting in such a way that only nina sees george lowering himself down from the balcony

00:46:56.880 through an enormous picture window i this moment when i was a kid was like the funniest thing yeah

00:47:03.740 ever like i i remember this scene a lot he's of course somehow still holding the bank book buddy

00:47:09.240 but like like it would be easier at this point to just drop the bank book but you're somehow still

00:47:15.200 holding whatever it's fine it's for the comedy or just put it in your pocket and take it with you

00:47:19.380 yeah honestly nina draws attention away from the window oh what a lovely sculpture over there in

00:47:23.500 that direction he's frantic nina's watching i love this this construction of a joke where like 0.92

00:47:28.440 there's a dumb show going on behind yeah people like this works on me every time i'm a sucker for

00:47:33.940 this he's frantic he's still he realizes he's still holding the bank book he decides just to 0.96

00:47:39.360 throw it up through the open window back into john's office fair play at this point marta appears 0.99

00:47:44.580 at the worst possible moment to shake out like a sheet or a rug or whatever and she knocks the 0.98

00:47:49.220 bank book into the pool behind george george is like triple fuck he runs to try to get his hands 0.93

00:47:56.980 on the book but it's out of reach even worse the dobermans have located him again they run at him 0.94

00:48:02.240 from either side and he remembers the release command just in time to not stop himself from

00:48:08.100 tumbling headfirst into the pool it's rough george the bad look on george this is such a

00:48:13.320 problem that the filmmaker has no choice but to simply cut away how are we gonna get out of this

00:48:19.740 we're not we're not don't worry don't worry about it don't worry about it george is going to just

00:48:23.420 get in his car yeah and drive away uh-huh do you think they stayed for brunch i suspect john gave

00:48:30.860 him a change of clothes yeah no no you know what i take it back i the mackenzie's would have offered

00:48:35.840 for sure and been like oh my god are you okay are you wet are you cold and george and nina would

00:48:40.860 have been so mortified that they would have been like so we're gonna take a rain check on brunch

00:48:44.180 yep and come back another day you have you have to blame the dogs right like that's the only way

00:48:50.120 to do it like the bank book is the only thing though like yeah it's impossible to like explain 0.99

00:48:54.540 you have to i think you have to put the fucking bank book in your pocket yeah this is this is it 0.97

00:48:58.880 You put the paint book in your pocket. 0.99

00:49:00.320 Look, I'm not saying ceiling is okay, but in this case, it's the only way out of the

00:49:03.660 situation.

00:49:04.560 And you lie and say, oh, I was walking around the backyard.

00:49:08.180 I was curious.

00:49:08.840 I was taking a tour of the property.

00:49:10.760 Yeah.

00:49:11.060 I'm going to one-up you.

00:49:11.840 I'm going to one-up you.

00:49:12.080 And the dogs surprised me and scared me, and I fell into the pool.

00:49:15.400 I'm going to one-up you.

00:49:16.020 You're going to say, I took a wrong turn out of your bathroom, because that's possible

00:49:20.720 in your bathroom.

00:49:21.740 Oh, for sure.

00:49:21.900 And I wound up in your office, and the dogs chased me off.

00:49:25.520 You want them to feel bad.

00:49:28.120 Yeah.

00:49:28.460 Right?

00:49:28.640 No, no, no. But there's nothing wrong with just, I mean, it's not the nicest thing,

00:49:32.440 but it's nothing wrong with just like, I needed a few moments of fresh air. I needed to go outside

00:49:36.520 and take a breath of fresh air because I was starting to have an anxiety attack.

00:49:41.000 This family knows from anxiety attacks.

00:49:42.860 That's true.

00:49:43.680 The McKenzie's would be like, we got you. Don't worry. 0.98

00:49:46.580 Did you go into our medicine cabinet? We have 14 different kinds of Xanax.

00:49:49.600 Yeah. Believe me, we get it. That's the way out of this is to be like, I needed to go outside

00:49:54.480 for a breath of fresh air. And then the dogs scared me into the pool.

00:49:57.760 and the bank thing just disappears forever 0.82

00:49:59.780 and there's nothing, poor Marta gets blamed for it.

00:50:02.660 The only problem, the only problem is you have,

00:50:05.360 it is, I mean, it's such a huge house there probably is.

00:50:07.480 Is there a way down outside where they don't see you?

00:50:10.340 Oh, of course there is, Paul.

00:50:11.880 Yeah.

00:50:12.340 There's like 15 exits out of that house.

00:50:14.240 I think I'm starting with the dogs earlier if it's me.

00:50:16.420 I'm going, your dog, I opened that bathroom door

00:50:18.880 and your dogs were outside.

00:50:20.340 They chased me outside.

00:50:20.860 They chased me outside.

00:50:22.140 No.

00:50:22.320 And I flung myself off the balcony.

00:50:24.760 No, no, no. 0.99

00:50:26.280 You make yourself look insane. 0.99

00:50:29.000 I have accepted the fact that I look insane. 1.00

00:50:32.160 Insane is gone.

00:50:33.980 The sane train is done.

00:50:35.200 I am looking for the least amount of insanity in this story.

00:50:39.820 What if he's like, I saw one of the dogs downstairs.

00:50:42.180 I thought it was drowning.

00:50:43.880 I came to help it and turns out it was not in the pool and it pushed me in.

00:50:49.100 Anyway, what's for brunch?

00:50:50.600 What if you just try to get out of the pool and say, oh, they come back and the toilet

00:50:54.140 exploded on me.

00:50:56.280 The pipes in this house are so strong, it sucked me in.

00:50:59.640 Yeah, you said you were getting work done, and I think you should fire the plumbers because something is wrong.

00:51:04.780 Yeah, you've got to get a new contractor in on this because this is not good.

00:51:08.060 This is not good.

00:51:09.060 Okay, here we go.

00:51:10.320 I got it.

00:51:10.980 I got it.

00:51:11.400 I got it.

00:51:12.120 Hey, listen.

00:51:13.200 I was in your bathroom, and then I went and snooped in your office, and I picked up your bank book,

00:51:17.020 and then I saw the amount of money you earned, and I tried to kill myself by jumping off your balcony,

00:51:25.560 but the pool caught me the pool caught me anywho any crap here's your bank book see ya bye see at

00:51:32.500 the wedding guys so smash cut to the bank's house george is outside grilling dinner for the whole

00:51:37.500 family and telling annie that their meeting with the mackenzie's went great nothing happened

00:51:41.240 everything's cool that is that's a bold-faced lie that i didn't frankly didn't think george

00:51:46.040 had the stones to pull off so they're talking about the wedding and nina informs george that

00:51:52.120 She has received Joanna's list of her immediate family to invite.

00:51:55.940 Joanna comes from an enormous family.

00:51:58.520 Yeah.

00:51:59.380 Including her eight Danish cousins that all want to come to the wedding.

00:52:04.880 And as this film claims, whose travel is George's financial responsibility.

00:52:14.060 Okay.

00:52:14.440 I'm so glad that you tripped on that too.

00:52:16.520 I am going to, this made me pause the movie.

00:52:19.580 Yeah.

00:52:20.160 Because I was like, I'm sorry. 0.98

00:52:21.380 on what fucking planet is is the mother of the groom's cousin travel the responsibility 0.94

00:52:31.220 of the father of the bride i try because i i was okay remember this comes from like 1950 so i was 0.97

00:52:37.480 trying to like google like was it ever the father of the bride's responsibility to fly foreign guests

00:52:42.860 that were members of and like google was like what what are you asking did you have a stroke

00:52:48.160 Like, what are you talking about?

00:52:49.440 Did you fall asleep on your laptop and just created words?

00:52:52.440 Good news.

00:52:52.840 I did think I managed to break the AI with that question.

00:52:55.560 You're welcome to society for that.

00:52:57.720 I've never heard this.

00:52:59.440 No, that's insane.

00:53:00.820 Like, you reserve a block of rooms at a hotel that people can use.

00:53:05.060 Absolutely.

00:53:05.740 Yeah, you pay for the wedding.

00:53:07.800 Yeah.

00:53:08.300 Like, that's what you do.

00:53:09.420 But, like, I've never been flown to a wedding, God forbid.

00:53:13.900 But I've always paid for my own hotel.

00:53:16.380 Yeah.

00:53:16.600 The father of the bride does not have to pay for out-of-town guests.

00:53:21.280 No.

00:53:21.480 That's insane.

00:53:22.620 Yeah.

00:53:22.900 I did not include this in the $350,000 price.

00:53:25.780 Okay.

00:53:26.160 Well, that's another.

00:53:27.000 That I clocked.

00:53:27.860 I don't even.

00:53:28.460 I can't even sink eight people flying round trip from Denmark.

00:53:32.420 It's got to be like $10,000, right?

00:53:34.240 I don't know.

00:53:34.820 Probably.

00:53:35.560 Yeah.

00:53:35.900 In today's money, it's got to be like, let's generously say $1,500 round trip.

00:53:41.200 Yeah.

00:53:41.340 Because it's not even Denmark to like the East Coast.

00:53:43.300 It's Denmark to the West Coast.

00:53:44.980 Yeah.

00:53:45.860 Ugh. 1.00

00:53:46.380 Holy shit. 1.00

00:53:47.300 This better be the best cousins I ever fucking meet. 1.00

00:53:49.580 This better be the guy who started Noma, and he better want to cook for this wedding. 0.99

00:53:53.060 They better be taking turns polishing my knob the entire time they're here. 0.97

00:53:57.700 Do you know what's funny is I actually own the Emily Post book etiquette,

00:54:01.160 and I'm not kidding.

00:54:02.400 It's like six inches thick. 0.99

00:54:03.740 It is like a biggest fucking book. 0.99

00:54:05.600 I should have looked it up before I came over today. 0.98

00:54:08.200 Look it up, and we'll drop in.

00:54:09.940 Okay.

00:54:10.220 If there's important information in that.

00:54:12.760 Okay.

00:54:12.980 When I get home tonight, you guys, I'm going to look up Emily Post's etiquette to see if this comes up at all.

00:54:21.080 Future Erica and Paul here.

00:54:22.720 As promised, Erica has done some research.

00:54:25.120 Yes, I consulted Emily Post.

00:54:27.580 Miss Manners, if you will.

00:54:28.620 That book is enormous, and I'm never sorry I bought it.

00:54:31.060 That is the best book I own.

00:54:32.840 Okay.

00:54:33.680 According to Emily Post, out-of-town guest expenses.

00:54:37.260 This is an entire subsection of the wedding section in Emily Post.

00:54:42.960 Guests who come from a distance pay their own transportation and lodging expenses.

00:54:47.220 The parents of the bride or groom should assist their relatives and friends by making reservations

00:54:53.640 or sending them hotel or motel information and may offer to pay any expenses they wish to assume

00:55:00.460 but are not required to do so.

00:55:04.080 They may also accept the offers of local friends and relatives to provide accommodations

00:55:08.340 for out-of-town guests in their home. 0.99

00:55:11.060 that is it we have to now consider the fact that nina may be trying to kill her husband via like 0.99

00:55:18.080 brain aneurysm if she's like gaslighting him into thinking he has to pay for these people 1.00

00:55:21.900 that is such bullshit and by the way there's a whole like section on expenses of the bride and 0.97

00:55:26.100 her family and expenses of the groom and his family because they do have to pay for things 0.99

00:55:31.500 that's right all right back to your regularly scheduled programming thanks emily post

00:55:36.300 so brian arrives he immediately starts calling george dad no man man man stick to george yeah

00:55:45.780 honestly stick to mr mckenzie until until the wedding and then you can say george agreed yeah

00:55:51.280 yeah george asks some leading questions to annie about if she wants a big or small wedding he's 0.98

00:55:56.140 trying to get like he's like all right this is gonna get out of fucking hand really fucking

00:55:59.620 fast and you know what he's not wrong he's right he's 100 right on a wedding that god forbid like 0.98

00:56:06.120 if this if these fucking two get divorced then that family owes me some some recompense money 0.99

00:56:11.960 because fuck you all anyway so he's like do you want a big wedding or a small wedding and annie's 1.00

00:56:16.920 like oh i don't want one that's too big just like close family and friends you know something kind 1.00

00:56:21.480 of intimate and george is like i have the perfect location you guys and everyone looks at him

00:56:26.560 expectantly they're like oh this is gonna be good and he's like it's the place that we always used

00:56:31.420 to go to as a family, to be together.

00:56:33.880 It's got memories.

00:56:35.620 It's got nostalgia.

00:56:37.780 We should have the wedding at the steak pit.

00:56:43.460 And even Matt, remember Matt?

00:56:45.640 Yeah.

00:56:45.800 The kid everyone forgets about.

00:56:47.360 His parents don't, but you should.

00:56:48.460 Academy Award winner Kieran Culkin.

00:56:50.120 Yeah.

00:56:50.500 He goes, ew, gross. 0.94

00:56:52.000 Gross.

00:56:52.900 The movie also does a thing with George, 0.54

00:56:55.180 and they never make this abundantly clear,

00:56:57.320 but it's apparent that he's upwardly mobile.

00:57:01.420 right like he did not come from as much money as his kids come from and he's very proud of that

00:57:06.080 work but is incredibly threatened by like the the old money that the mackenzies are representing 0.95

00:57:12.280 and i almost wish the movie had focused on that more because that's a that's more interesting 0.92

00:57:17.120 and frankly like real than most of the problems they try to act are like like our problems in

00:57:22.120 this movie or you're like that's not a problem eight danish cousins is not a thing that's just 0.80

00:57:25.980 not a thing that's not a real fucking thing it's not a thing yeah uh so annie says look maybe not 0.95

00:57:31.080 the steak pit but she's thought about it she would like a church wedding and a reception at 0.94

00:57:36.740 her parents house okay i just remembered that when i was a kid my mom used to take us to the

00:57:41.060 sizzler a lot honestly because she was a working mother and she didn't have time to cook and so

00:57:46.360 she's like danny erica let's get in the car we're going to the sizzler yeah and i'm just imagining 0.99

00:57:50.420 what if my mom turned to me and was like i know exactly where we should have your wedding

00:57:54.400 they have all kinds of foods they have a mexican bar they have a dessert bar they have an early

00:58:00.360 bird special they have a baked potato bar let's have it at the sizzler all the memories

00:58:07.520 uh so annie says she wants the reception at her parents house this house is it's a big house to

00:58:14.040 be clear maximum number of people that says to me is like 80 i'm willing to go to 150 i'm willing

00:58:23.180 because it's a big big house big yard and they're planning on doing in the backyard i i have an

00:58:28.580 uncle who has like an enormous backyard where you could you could probably legitimately have

00:58:32.680 like a 500 person wedding in his backyard but like yeah no you would need like an acre of land

00:58:38.100 you would need to have like porta potties for the number of people they wind up voting

00:58:41.400 oh i didn't even think of that how many bathrooms are in this house three at the most let's say four

00:58:47.240 yeah like even so yeah but even so you're not having people use the ensuite in george no and

00:58:52.260 nina's room you're having them use the two downstairs bathrooms yeah yeah and maybe the

00:58:57.100 third one upstairs that's for the kids or whatever as soon as i hear reception in the house i'll give

00:59:02.780 you 150 but that's a lot no spoilers but the guest list does balloon to more than 150 jesus christ

00:59:09.620 like you're absolutely right there's zero chance they could fit even if like half the guests

00:59:14.380 declined you're still looking at like i mean like like way more people than that house could

00:59:19.420 possibly think of fitting george hears reception at the house and he has this little fantasy right

00:59:24.900 He kind of turns around and we see this fake little daydream that he's having.

00:59:28.800 He's on the grill.

00:59:30.300 He's making burgers.

00:59:31.640 There's an accordion player.

00:59:33.220 The accordion player is playing La Bamba for some reason, which is excellent.

00:59:37.560 There's a lot of picnic tables with gingham tablecloths.

00:59:40.700 And Annie is in this very like bohemian, simple.

00:59:43.800 I mean, it's barely a wedding dress.

00:59:45.060 It almost just looks like a white sundress.

00:59:46.640 It's so much nicer than her actual wedding dress, though. 0.99

00:59:48.900 Holy shit. 0.98

00:59:49.820 On the wedding dress scale that we're running, I would actually rank this pretty high. 0.98

00:59:52.780 if this is your style if you wanted a super low-key yeah the kind of wedding we're going to

00:59:56.940 be barefoot in the backyard this is your wedding 100 yeah he thinks this is a great idea and he

01:00:02.460 turns around and he says so he's like a barbecue wedding fantastic and even again even matt

01:00:08.400 kieran colkin is like hey this guy this guy am i right we cut to after dinner and nina is letting

01:00:15.680 george have it she's like george our daughter is not having a backyard barbecue wedding that's not 0.82

01:00:22.320 what she asked for that's not what we're giving her she mentions that the mackenzie's offered to

01:00:27.240 help pay yeah crucial crucial this does not come back and i really wish it would at some point in

01:00:32.640 the movie she's like hey listen we don't have to pay for all of this ourselves the mackenzie's are

01:00:37.200 willing to chip in it's fine the mackenzie's have acknowledged that they're inviting eight

01:00:41.760 international guests they're also like it's 1991 yeah i did not grow up thinking that the father

01:00:48.860 of the bride had to pay for the wedding no that's just it never occurred to me that like the the

01:00:52.640 parents of the bride have to pay for the weddings maybe the weddings i went to growing up like and

01:00:56.780 like that's what they were doing and it just no one talked about money so i didn't know but like 1.00

01:01:01.200 this seems so dumb in 1991 that one family has to shoulder the cost for these two dumb idiots to 1.00

01:01:08.360 get married for these two dumb kids that have a solid 30 chance of making it also fucking brian 1.00

01:01:13.880 has a trust fund brian is a computer genius quote unquote brian is being flown to rome for three 1.00

01:01:20.040 months to help a was it a bank a bank or something yeah to help a bank update their software so that

01:01:26.420 they can like an american bank update their software so they can work with the european 0.99

01:01:30.620 system brian gets paid yeah fucking brian can pay for this fucking wedding like why is annie 0.99

01:01:37.840 paying for this wedding brian should be paying for this one annie can pay for her next one yeah 1.00

01:01:42.280 exactly George is like no I'm too proud Nina despite his constant bitching gets him to agree

01:01:48.080 to at least meet with a wedding coordinator and he's like what's a wedding coordinator

01:01:52.140 what is that that's not a real job and she's like everyone knows what wedding coordinators are they

01:01:58.180 are real people it's a real job get with it it's the 90s George I will say like to this point in

01:02:04.420 the movie Nina hasn't crossed to the bad place yet no like she she's still she's still solid

01:02:10.480 you know what we're at a point where it's a great time take a little break

01:02:13.620 play some more ads enjoy Nina while you had her we've dropped Chekhov's wedding

01:02:17.640 coordinator into the chat everyone everyone's excited to see it to hear

01:02:21.840 about it guys we're gonna cut for a break we're gonna cut for a break we're gonna

01:02:24.660 We're going to have a place to come back, Charles.

01:02:26.680 And we'll be right back.

01:02:28.120 Okay.

01:02:37.520 And we're back.

01:02:39.100 We cut to Nina, George, and Annie on their way to meet Frank Engelhofer,

01:02:43.940 one of the premier wedding coordinators in the Los Angeles area.

01:02:47.780 That should have been their first hint.

01:02:49.140 Yeah, true.

01:02:50.800 They arrive at Frank's office and are greeted by his assistant,

01:02:54.080 Howard Howard Weinstein played by B.D. Wong he's not trying to do an accent because like

01:03:02.540 obviously Martin Short has the accent covered yeah but he is trying to do some kind of like

01:03:06.960 lilting yeah like sing-songy thing when he speaks and it is so good I'm Howard Weinstein yeah hello

01:03:14.800 I'm Howard Weinstein I have to say like we're about to meet Frank I remember growing up I'm

01:03:21.840 I'm actually curious if you remember this, too.

01:03:23.480 Like, I remember wondering if they were gay.

01:03:26.140 Like, because, like, the movie didn't even occur to me that they weren't.

01:03:28.880 I think that's how it kind of got through to me.

01:03:30.900 Like, I think, look, I was, like, 10 when this came out, right?

01:03:34.220 Like, we were 10 or 11.

01:03:35.420 And, like, I had, I don't think I had really formed gay in my head yet completely.

01:03:39.900 But I remember, like, looking at them and, like, I remember almost wondering if they were supposed to be boyfriends. 0.82

01:03:44.700 Oh, yeah. 0.56

01:03:45.180 I don't even want to say that, like, Martin Short is playing gay. 0.99

01:03:47.860 Martin Short is playing Martin Short.

01:03:49.260 He kind of transcends sexuality.

01:03:50.920 Yeah.

01:03:51.180 And B.D. Wong, I think, is being a little fae, but I think B.D. Wong is a little fae, like, in his natural – like, I don't think either one of them is playing at it is what I'm trying to say. 1.00

01:03:58.800 No, I don't think so. 1.00

01:03:59.580 I think what Martin Short is playing is, like, eccentric foreigner. 1.00

01:04:02.940 I think he's playing Austro-Hungarian panther is what he's playing. 1.00

01:04:10.040 He's playing Marie Antoinette's court pixie. 0.87

01:04:12.680 Yeah, exactly. 0.98

01:04:13.220 That's what he is playing.

01:04:15.700 I mean, maybe.

01:04:16.600 I don't really remember what I was thinking at 11, but I swear to you, in my brain, I was like, gay couple.

01:04:20.780 Yeah. So they meet Howard. And most importantly, they meet Franck, played by Martin Short. He appears and immediately starts charming the two women with his flamboyance, his unintelligible accent that Nina and Annie hear and understand perfectly.

01:04:37.900 Perfectly. Now, to be fair, the audience hears what George hears. Yeah. George is like, I'm sorry, what? And Nina was like, he asked you for a cappuccino. Why can't you hear what I'm hearing?

01:04:47.980 and George finds it all

01:04:50.260 deeply annoying

01:04:51.280 yeah

01:04:51.660 because there's

01:04:52.180 Franck has this

01:04:52.980 very Martin Short energy

01:04:54.400 of like

01:04:55.060 impishness

01:04:56.300 of like

01:04:57.280 I'm gonna

01:04:57.740 I'm gonna like 0.99

01:04:58.340 make fun of you to your face 0.90

01:04:59.440 but you're gonna love me for it

01:05:00.560 like and George is like

01:05:01.660 I'm gonna tweak your nose

01:05:02.200 yeah and George is like

01:05:03.000 I don't

01:05:03.360 I hate this

01:05:04.080 yeah

01:05:04.360 so Franck agrees

01:05:06.960 to the planned

01:05:08.180 January 6th wedding date

01:05:09.820 with some surprise

01:05:10.800 and only having

01:05:11.600 five months

01:05:12.380 and assures him

01:05:12.900 it will be spectacular

01:05:13.580 oh

01:05:14.420 we have seven months

01:05:15.480 that's five

01:05:16.020 oh no

01:05:16.640 we have five months

01:05:17.480 hello

01:05:18.440 Hello.

01:05:19.600 It will be spectacular.

01:05:20.800 Do not worry. 0.98

01:05:21.420 It's the thing we want to do and talk about the cock. 0.99

01:05:23.860 Should we select the cock first? 0.97

01:05:26.540 Can I just really want to quickly say that it's not the movie's fault that January 6th is such a loaded date now.

01:05:31.980 Apologies to all people who had weddings on January 6th.

01:05:35.800 It's like having a birthday on September 11th. 0.98

01:05:38.160 It's like, God damn it. 0.99

01:05:39.000 It's ruined. 0.98

01:05:40.000 So he gets a large picture book and he comes and he sits down on the couch.

01:05:44.400 He wedges himself in between Annie and George.

01:05:47.380 and he opens a large book showing pictures of cakes if someone came to me with a picture book

01:05:54.200 of cakes and told me to pick a cake i would take the book and beat them with it okay here's my one

01:06:04.160 thing i'll say is maybe maybe this is like the kind of thing where you just select the style

01:06:10.020 of the cake and all you're selecting is what it looks like and then you can change the like i would 0.94

01:06:17.040 like a buttercream i would like a sure i would like something insane like fucking rum cake or

01:06:21.160 something like like you could do that maybe okay let's go with that so i can move past what they 0.90

01:06:26.140 are selecting is simply the aesthetics okay of the cake all right i i like this answer because

01:06:30.700 i was deeply offended by this entire thing george box at the 1200 price tag on one of these

01:06:36.760 confections that's three thousand dollars in today's money three thousand dollars for a cake

01:06:40.640 that if history has any truth to it won't taste good let's just be honest nina says frank can you

01:06:47.980 give me a moment he says oh of course howard let's go register phone calls and he flits off nina and

01:06:53.140 annie convince george to hire frank and his firm and nina is now acting very exhausted george has

01:06:58.880 been a lot george what is the problem all this man wants to do is have us spend three thousand

01:07:05.500 dollars yeah on a piece of cake that will be eaten and shed out by everyone at the wedding yeah what

01:07:11.320 is your problem what is the problem what is your problem what is the problem all this man does

01:07:14.780 is show us things that are outside of our budget in a language we don't understand

01:07:19.100 and then slightly makes fun of us for being too square to understand his vision what is the

01:07:24.720 problem what what is the matter george i don't understand could we have gone to i don't know

01:07:28.900 a second wedding planner could we could we have shopped around perhaps perhaps could we have maybe

01:07:34.620 It's just like, you know, I know that Google didn't exist back then, but we have opened the phone book.

01:07:39.560 So they convince George to hire Frank, but they agree because George says, OK, fine.

01:07:43.920 But can you please just not go crazy on anything?

01:07:45.960 And they both say, no, of course, we will not go crazy on the planning.

01:07:50.940 Why are you so worried about this?

01:07:54.200 It'll be fine.

01:07:55.240 And Frank comes back in and George, we hear him saying voiceover, say, now I really feel like I was pushed out.

01:08:01.100 there's a really like sweet runner in the movie where he continuously gets pushed out of like

01:08:06.360 Annie's life you were right those emotional touches throughout the movie are what get me

01:08:10.820 like every time like I get really like not weepy but like the clumped when I watch this movie where

01:08:16.540 I'm just like gosh this is so sweet and to be fair Kimberly Williams is also I've talked a lot

01:08:21.700 about like how great the casting is for everyone else Kimberly Williams plays the role so well

01:08:26.440 with such a sweetness and sincerity and like there's not an ounce of brattiness in the performance

01:08:32.100 and there's and there's so much like obvious love for her parents a few days later at the

01:08:37.360 sidekicks factory george gets a call from howard with the final price per head oh my god i i thought

01:08:44.220 you said 150 a head no no 250 a head that doesn't go over well he goes upstairs he talks to his

01:08:55.260 assistant. He says, I need to get Nina on the phone. I need to know what the final guest count

01:08:59.060 is. His assistant says, Nina just called with it. It is 572. Okay. Okay. No. No. So here's what I

01:09:09.720 did. I did 250 times 570. Okay. Just counting. We'll give them a thousand. Yeah. Yeah. That in

01:09:16.400 today's money is $340,000. I'm the extra 10,000 I'm tacking on is because I'm assuming the wedding

01:09:23.520 dress sure like just all this other sundry shit that like that i'm not kidding when i say this 0.99

01:09:29.320 fucking wedding is costing him in today's money 350 000 to have your house trash buy a house 0.99

01:09:36.100 easily a beautiful house for 350 000 george has had enough he gathers his family together and he's 1.00

01:09:45.060 like okay we gotta cut this guest list down you physically cannot fit 572 people in this fucking 0.89

01:09:50.800 house so let's figure this out if it's 250 ahead no more than 150 people are coming period end of 0.97

01:09:58.320 story totally reasonable totally reasonable nobody nobody on this planet has 572 people

01:10:06.400 that they like i don't even know 500 people i couldn't come up with 200 people that i know and

01:10:12.080 like i don't think i'd come up with 50 i couldn't come up with 10 wait i have an enormous family

01:10:17.480 If I think about the family, if I think about the family, if I include both sides of my family, I could maybe get it to 100.

01:10:24.300 Yeah.

01:10:24.760 So they start going through the list.

01:10:26.340 Clients that they haven't spoken to in years, gone. 0.99

01:10:28.960 Why are they inviting fucking clients? 0.99

01:10:31.020 It almost feels like it's a generational thing where, like, at that time, if you owned a business, it was considered polite to invite, like, your big clients. 0.99

01:10:40.420 Nina's like, don't you want to come see the interior of my house so I can show you what I could do?

01:10:45.480 the kind of horrors I could visit upon your house. 1.00

01:10:48.520 What floral magic I could work upon your furniture.

01:10:51.880 But I guess, and also I think it's also like,

01:10:54.860 because if you're invited to a wedding,

01:10:56.260 you have to give a gift,

01:10:57.040 even if you don't go to the wedding.

01:10:58.180 That's like the protocol.

01:10:59.640 That's the real trick.

01:11:00.300 And that's the trick.

01:11:01.200 If you invite 500 people, only 200 show up,

01:11:03.600 but you're getting an additional,

01:11:04.680 even if not everyone does it,

01:11:06.100 like you're getting at least 250 other presents.

01:11:09.460 So they're going through the list

01:11:10.360 and George mentions a name

01:11:12.040 and Nina's like, didn't he die? 0.74

01:11:13.600 And George goes, excellent.

01:11:15.480 and then he goes what does everyone think about inviting everyone to the ceremony at the church

01:11:21.720 but not the reception no no that's not absolutely you can't do that when he finds out that he

01:11:26.940 apparently has to invite and pay for frank and howard too he's incensed he's like why which is

01:11:31.820 he's not wrong he's not wrong they're working you're working annie and nina actors of george 0.63

01:11:36.220 is being insane yeah why are you being so ridiculous george finally matt asks he's a 0.59

01:11:43.660 cute little nine-year-old Kieran Culkin face and he's like can I bring my friend Cameron he swears 0.97

01:11:48.020 he won't eat and then George pounces on it he's like that's a great idea who can we invite and

01:11:53.340 ask not to eat Annie finally can't take it anymore and she says why don't we just charge people that

01:11:58.560 way we can make money on the wedding and she flounces out of the room it's not a good look

01:12:02.580 for Annie no I do understand her a little bit and this like George is being over the top to be fair

01:12:07.340 you want to yell at Annie but there's no way Annie invited 572 people yell at Nina girl you are

01:12:13.560 in charge of being the rational one you are in charge of corralling 572 is an objectively insane

01:12:19.960 number to invite to a wedding yes unless it's like unless unless it's that kind of wedding but

01:12:24.360 this is a wedding in a church most churches might not fit 572 people how big is the church

01:12:29.900 cathedral to fit that amount of people he's at one point earlier in the movie says that the wedding

01:12:34.920 costs more than his house yeah the wedding costs more than they spent on their house like i don't

01:12:41.040 care what you make that that ratio is off that's wrong that's just a bad ratio you've you have 0.94

01:12:46.760 fucked up on some level like no that night george comes downstairs he finds annie asleep on the 0.96

01:12:52.280 couch with a bridal magazine open on her chest and he picks it up and he sees that she was reading an 0.97

01:12:57.000 article on how to throw a cheaper wedding and he's horrified that he's made his little girl think of

01:13:01.140 a dirty word like budget so he tells us in voiceover that from that moment on i decide to shut

01:13:07.860 my mouth and go with the flow and i would like to say something right now he genuinely does his

01:13:13.120 best to do this yeah so we cut to george he's squeezing himself into his old tux in the attic

01:13:18.440 he's doing a tom jones impersonation what's new pussycat whoa whoa whoa uh nina and annie come up

01:13:25.980 they kind of giggle at him he's he's being a clown right they tell him that frank and howard are 0.50

01:13:30.020 there to finalize all plans for the wedding and now we have like the scene to drive george off 0.51

01:13:35.340 the cliff like everyone's purpose in the scene is to make george crazy so they're auditioning

01:13:39.400 eugene levy as the wedding singer yay eugene levy's in this movie such a surprise i completely

01:13:43.920 forgot that he was in this movie uh they're announcing plans to move all the furniture

01:13:48.020 so they can bring more chairs into the house george and nina and annie are caught in a

01:13:52.520 conversation where somehow frunk is the one translating for their chef hunk and they're

01:13:57.560 caught between seafood which is shack and foul which is not shake but it's chip yeah george is

01:14:03.420 like the fowl right i don't care that it's not shock i want it to be shop stuff keeps piling on

01:14:10.120 he sees them rewiring the house they're painting the house they're planting flowers they're renting

01:14:15.640 swans george is starting to lose it right like he's starting to get really anxious suddenly

01:14:22.480 frunk appears to make another plea to have a saffon because the chicken this chicken is not

01:14:28.240 shack it's not shack we want to have hot and we can't lose honk honk is the number one we need

01:14:32.740 his brawn we need his brawn he's the number one brawn in cooker howard informs him that they will

01:14:38.320 need at least four parking attendants chekov's parking attendants have been deployed i'm going

01:14:43.200 to get back to this later this is going to be a problem it's going to be it's going to be a lot

01:14:46.260 this is going to be a lot later george growls that they will have two parking attendants and

01:14:51.620 no more brian appears and the straw that breaks the camel's back is brian calling him dad yet

01:14:58.980 again although at this point this has been going on for weeks george i hope you're used to it yeah

01:15:02.840 ultimately he flees the house and nina is like look if you have to leave pick up something for

01:15:08.900 dinner george winds up at the grocery store in the midst of a full mental breakdown he is still

01:15:14.280 wearing the 1970s tom jones tuxedo by the way with the split back yeah oh yeah he split the

01:15:19.440 tuxedo during that last scene too i think i skipped that part it's got ruffles in the collar it's it's

01:15:23.560 a lot it's a whole lot uh he is spiraling about hot dogs and hot dog buns and george is correct

01:15:30.500 big hot dog is selling you eight hot dogs in a package but big bun is selling you 12 buns in a

01:15:38.080 package meaning you will have to buy either three packets of hot dogs and two packets of buns or

01:15:43.940 they simply will not align george is not wrong why is that why is that even till today capitalism 1.00

01:15:49.520 Fuck you guys. 1.00

01:15:50.260 Sell us 12 hot dogs. 1.00

01:15:51.500 Yeah.

01:15:51.980 Sell us 12 hot or eight buns. 1.00

01:15:54.020 Fuck all of you. 1.00

01:15:54.740 Fuck all of you. 1.00

01:15:55.480 Hot dog buns are only used for hot dogs. 1.00

01:15:57.340 I know people can use them for other things if they wanted to, but like that's their whole

01:16:01.040 purpose.

01:16:01.640 It's not like sliced bread that can be used for a myriad of things.

01:16:04.600 Yeah. 1.00

01:16:04.840 It's a fucking hot dog bun. 1.00

01:16:06.300 Like buttering corn in War Games. 1.00

01:16:09.380 Actually, a hot dog bun would be good for that.

01:16:11.800 It would be ideal, in fact, for that.

01:16:13.880 Yeah.

01:16:14.480 He is opening all of the hot dog buns in the store.

01:16:17.640 all the packages of hot dog buns and removing four buns from each one which is funny because

01:16:23.020 he still actually ends up buying three packages of hot dogs did you notice that i'm like oh

01:16:27.160 you were so close buddy you could have had it if you were right there but he refuses the manager

01:16:33.760 of the store is like sir sir you're gonna have to like put up put down the hot dog buns stop doing

01:16:38.900 that and he's like or what i'm going to have a hissy fit of epic proportions in this store

01:16:48.160 cut to him being in jail yeah being put in jail he has clearly done something unforgivable in

01:16:55.460 that grocery store they had to call in security uh-huh nina arrives to spring him out of jail

01:17:00.180 but before she does she has a few things to say a diane keaton earning her paycheck in this scene

01:17:05.640 so good she has so little really honestly too little to do in the movie it's a problem because 1.00

01:17:10.660 nina it doesn't make sense yeah but she comes in movie star charisma oozing out of every pore 1.00

01:17:16.260 first she makes the very important point that while this wedding is obviously an exercise in 0.90

01:17:22.200 financial insanity which are my words not hers they can't afford it so i will i will choose

01:17:29.020 to believe that earlier in the movie when annie comes back from rome and she's like rome is

01:17:33.060 amazing nina goes to george maybe we should go to rome for a few months george months months months 0.99

01:17:39.280 okay but they own their businesses which means they can like delegate and like walk away for a 0.99

01:17:44.340 while and who the fuck no no one's gonna fire them right if nina's business is interior design 0.99

01:17:48.640 it may flourish without her eye honestly i'm now i'm very curious what could she what could she 0.94

01:17:52.980 possibly do if it's not it doesn't that seem the only option the only hint that we have is that

01:17:58.680 she says at one point she has to do inventory oh she does maybe she owns a store a store maybe

01:18:04.980 she's like Meryl Streep and it's complicated in another another Nancy Meyers movie or she owns 0.99

01:18:09.460 like a little like a little bakery like a little yeah like a barefoot Contessa style store like an 0.93

01:18:13.760 Ina Garten sort of situation yeah but then she would she would know better about the buy that 1.00

01:18:18.480 ugly cake that's true but anyway she would make the ugly cake I got caught up on the taste of 1.00

01:18:23.060 the cake the cake is also ugly we should point out actually very ugly and three thousand dollars

01:18:29.160 so okay hang on though but i just want to point out three months in rome even if you live at high

01:18:35.580 yeah that's not 350 000 no i mean maybe i don't know maybe i'm just not thinking about like the

01:18:41.320 ways people can spend money like if maybe if they rent out like the most expensive villa in rome

01:18:46.920 sure i mean i'm sure you could spend 350 000 in three months but you don't have to to have a good

01:18:52.300 time it's not the likely thing that's not what you're gonna say i've been to rome i did not spend

01:18:57.360 three hundred dollars to go all right so she extracts a promise from him that she demands

01:19:03.840 he repeats she says i george stanley banks and he says i george stanley banks she has promised to

01:19:10.180 pull it together and act my age i will stop hyperventilating rolling my eyes and unbuttoning

01:19:15.440 my top collar button i will stop making faces in general and i will definitely stop telling

01:19:20.120 everyone i meet how much this wedding is costing and he repeats all of that and then she says i

01:19:26.500 will try to remember my daughter's feelings and how with every roll of my eyes i am taking away

01:19:31.220 a piece of her happiness okay this is very sweet but with every roll of his eyes he's trying to

01:19:35.980 take one of your clients off the guest list it's not annie doesn't care if your fourth best client

01:19:42.520 comes to her wedding that's not a thing yeah this is about you nina nina nina come on there's a

01:19:48.640 really funny moment in the scene where he's like i don't tell everyone i meet what it costs and then

01:19:53.560 she goes and the guard at the prison is like the jail is like 250 a head

01:19:59.980 so they say they love each other they give each other a little peck on the lips and nina gets

01:20:06.420 george out of jail we cut to a few months later and the family now including brian still calling

01:20:11.400 george dad but george seems fine with it now yeah they're over at the house they're playing

01:20:15.840 basketball together and i still don't want to play in traffic incredible this is really top

01:20:21.920 notch basketballing in this movie uh gifts start arriving and brian says his parents are bringing

01:20:26.860 one over and george's like oh i got you guys a gift too and he excitedly goes to get the gift

01:20:30.940 he got for them and he's coming downstairs to this wrapped all beautifully and he's coming

01:20:34.680 downstairs and he sees the mckenzie's outside arrive with a brand new car a bright shiny red 0.99

01:20:41.180 convertible for the new married couple and he gets immediately like oh shit this is my gift is trash 0.97

01:20:47.080 yeah so he starts to hide it annie runs into the room over the moon about the car she goes what's 0.97

01:20:52.080 behind your your back there and he's like nothing nothing at all she's like is that a gift can i

01:20:56.740 have it and she opens it and her face lights up and she goes it's a cappuccino maker it's what

01:21:01.580 i've been wanting he goes really are you sure it's it's not a car and she's like dad i couldn't love

01:21:06.900 it anymore i'm gonna get choked up talking about this and in voiceover like steve martin like

01:21:12.700 adoringly looks at annie and then voiceover says i know exactly how she feels yeah how you feel

01:21:18.660 it's so so sweet it's so sweet i wish i had had your experience of it but my experience of this

01:21:25.380 was why are you getting her another gift you're getting her a wedding fair the wedding is and

01:21:32.440 look i to be clear i don't think annie or brian asked for this gift he wanted to do this so like

01:21:36.100 i'm not i'm not trying to put it on them but when he's like it's not a big gift i'm like the wedding

01:21:40.700 is the big gift you know what costs more than that car this wedding you know what costs more

01:21:46.060 than 30 of those cars this wedding you know what's gonna cost me another 10 years of breaking my 0.99

01:21:51.860 balls at work this fucking wedding because i'm burning through all my goddamn savings 0.99

01:21:56.660 no it's not a big gift it's a fucking paperclip enjoy it oh no but i mean that i couldn't love 0.99

01:22:03.220 bit more to be to be clear you are right it's a very sweet scene i feel exactly the same i am i 0.97

01:22:09.380 am putting something external onto this very very sweet scene oh so sweet so go into the chapel and

01:22:18.320 we're kicks on and we get a wedding preparation montage including george getting a quote-unquote

01:22:25.620 real armani suit from one of i guess it's a vendor it's one of the guys who played one of

01:22:30.420 the goons and sister acts oh yeah he was earlier in the movie this guy is in the is in the factory

01:22:35.320 and he's selling fake purses yeah claiming they're real no no he's telling them they're fake

01:22:40.460 no no he says no they're real why else they're trying to fake them oh oh but you think that

01:22:45.920 means no no no what happens is he hands a woman a fake louis vuitton yeah she goes i don't even

01:22:50.140 know what louis vuitton is he goes trust me he's a very big deal otherwise they wouldn't bother

01:22:53.640 making fake ones oh okay i misinterpreted that i i see yes yeah the movie establishes that there

01:23:00.120 There's a guy who, I guess you're right, is like a vendor.

01:23:02.700 Who knows?

01:23:03.020 I don't know.

01:23:03.580 Why is he on the factory floor?

01:23:04.920 Who knows what business he does with George?

01:23:07.200 I think he follows around big trucks, you know what I mean?

01:23:09.220 And then things fall off the back of them.

01:23:10.800 And then George uses them to make sneakers.

01:23:12.440 Yeah.

01:23:12.800 But yeah, so he sells counterfeit goods.

01:23:15.200 But he swears this one is real.

01:23:17.100 It's a real Armani suit.

01:23:18.260 Yeah.

01:23:18.440 Real Armani tux.

01:23:19.900 Annie tries on her dress.

01:23:21.260 They tally RSVPs.

01:23:22.660 They start receiving gifts.

01:23:24.040 We see the McKenzie's and the Banks's spending Thanksgiving together.

01:23:28.060 And then in a very sweet moment, we see that George has had his factory manufacture a pair of white sneakers with lace on them for Annie.

01:23:35.640 We cut to George and Nina tallying more gifts for the happy couple.

01:23:38.920 George finally looks happy.

01:23:40.320 Yeah.

01:23:40.640 He's like, I'm so glad we got all these amazing gifts.

01:23:43.180 It really makes up for not getting the chipper chicken.

01:23:45.460 But can we just talk about these gifts?

01:23:47.660 It looks like an antique store.

01:23:49.900 Everything is silver and stainless steel and fancy and ugly crystal.

01:23:55.900 He's unwrapping a silver tea set.

01:23:58.520 So he's like, you got another silver tea set.

01:24:00.600 I'm like, what?

01:24:01.760 Was there not a registry?

01:24:03.360 We don't need one of these, let alone six.

01:24:05.540 What is happening?

01:24:06.380 Yeah.

01:24:06.740 So Annie comes in.

01:24:08.080 She's crying.

01:24:08.960 And they're like, what happened?

01:24:10.140 And she announces the wedding is off. 0.99

01:24:12.100 And she stomps upstairs.

01:24:13.880 George is like, oh, my God.

01:24:14.920 So he goes to talk to her.

01:24:16.420 He hugs her.

01:24:17.200 And she's like, I'm sorry, Dad.

01:24:18.540 I'm sorry.

01:24:19.100 I know this is so much.

01:24:20.060 You spent so much on this wedding.

01:24:22.160 And he's like, no, no, no.

01:24:23.320 Whatever it is.

01:24:23.960 if this is what you want that's okay and he hugs her and he goes is it another girl

01:24:28.720 like because that's what he thinks like yeah yeah for her to be this upset yeah and like want to

01:24:35.200 cancel her wedding brian cheated on her yeah something happened it is not an unreasonable

01:24:39.760 assumption and then annie says he got me a gift he said it was like it's our eighth eight month

01:24:46.020 anniversary and he wanted to get me a gift i just want to interrupt you really quickly there's no

01:24:50.120 such thing as an eight month anniversary sorry go ahead i'm surprised he did not give me a gift

01:25:01.580 months today i brought something but i'm you know what you're not getting that cappuccino maker now

01:25:20.140 it's like a ninja or something

01:25:21.240 like okay

01:25:21.920 yeah

01:25:22.280 and in all those gifts downstairs

01:25:24.080 there's no blender 0.99

01:25:24.880 there's no fucking blender 0.98

01:25:25.760 there's seven stainless steel 1.00

01:25:27.040 fucking tea sets 1.00

01:25:27.920 but there's no fucking blender 1.00

01:25:28.660 you know there's like 0.99

01:25:29.360 45 blenders down there 1.00

01:25:30.900 and she's like 0.99

01:25:32.420 it's a blender

01:25:33.200 what is this

01:25:33.940 1958

01:25:34.780 and George's like

01:25:36.440 I'm sorry

01:25:36.940 what's happening

01:25:37.540 I don't understand

01:25:38.520 why you're upset

01:25:39.200 he gave me this thing

01:25:40.680 and I was like

01:25:41.020 oh what's he expecting

01:25:41.960 I started thinking about

01:25:42.680 what his expectations were 0.98

01:25:43.820 for his little wifey

01:25:44.780 am I supposed to be at home 0.81

01:25:45.680 every day at 5 o'clock

01:25:46.700 to make him dinner

01:25:47.820 so I picked a big fight with him

01:25:49.860 and then we started really hashing it out

01:25:52.260 and then oh he told me some

01:25:53.980 horrible lie about you 1.00

01:25:55.600 and I was like this man is a liar 1.00

01:25:57.400 I can't marry him he's a liar 1.00

01:25:59.260 and George is like what lie did he tell you 1.00

01:26:01.220 and she's like oh some cockamamie story

01:26:03.480 about you breaking a mirror

01:26:05.320 at his parents house and then winding up

01:26:07.700 in the pool with his father's bank book

01:26:09.780 and like that could ever

01:26:11.660 actually happen

01:26:12.800 I did not break that mirror

01:26:15.120 fair enough 0.53

01:26:17.440 he did not yeah he did not she's like the man's a liar and then nina comes up to say hey guys

01:26:22.880 brian's downstairs he looks really upset he's crying and annie's like i won't see him and

01:26:27.960 george is like okay i'll take care of this so he decides to take brian out for a drink

01:26:33.300 so to recap george not george brian gave annie a blender for their eight month anniversary

01:26:41.820 and she called off the wedding yeah cool yeah cool cool it's almost like these two haven't had

01:26:49.120 enough time to really work on their relationship and fully understand how best to communicate with

01:26:53.800 each other almost almost one way get the impression yeah do you think she's pooped in his apartment

01:26:58.460 yet nope no still not we cut to the bar brian says that he realizes it was a bad gift but he

01:27:04.120 really didn't mean anything by it he just knows that annie likes banana shakes george despite

01:27:08.840 having the chance to sabotage the wedding, can't bring himself to do it. He just tells Brian that

01:27:13.940 Annie, look, she's very passionate. She comes from a long line of overreactors, you know, like me.

01:27:21.520 The good news is it lessens with every generation, so their children have a chance at being normal.

01:27:26.820 That's really cute. He tells us in voiceover that he realizes that Annie is just like him

01:27:31.260 and Brian is just like Nina, which means they're a perfect match. He brings Brian back home. He goes

01:27:38.360 upstairs and he says look annie you can do whatever you want but i really don't think he

01:27:42.420 meant anything by giving you a blender for a present and that story that he told you about

01:27:48.280 the bank book and the pool and then we just cut to her running downstairs she runs back into brian's

01:27:53.340 arms they kiss and there's this very cute scene of steve martin being like everything good here

01:27:57.400 then okay i'll just i'll go back upstairs then if you're just gonna make out okay i'm gonna go

01:28:03.160 i'm gonna go suddenly we're at wedding eve we get a fun little needle drop this song today i met the

01:28:09.880 boy i'm gonna marry by darlene love i love that song i didn't remember it i was like oh this is

01:28:14.320 fun i like it was in a few 80s movies i feel and it's always always welcome to me yeah so after

01:28:20.120 commiserating with matt remember matt the child everyone forgot i forgot about oh so did they

01:28:24.520 they forgot do you think he's been fed in the last week no well he he cooks himself food they're

01:28:29.360 Like, what?

01:28:30.000 Someone made breakfast again.

01:28:31.440 They've essentially home-aloned Matt without actually home-aloning him.

01:28:36.120 So after commiserating with Matt about how weird things are going to be once Annie leaves forever,

01:28:41.000 they're going to live in the same town.

01:28:42.740 Yeah.

01:28:43.140 Presumptively, she stayed on campus for the last four years, right?

01:28:46.460 She hasn't actually...

01:28:47.080 Well, maybe not.

01:28:47.640 I don't know.

01:28:48.220 But like...

01:28:48.460 Because apparently she lives at home.

01:28:49.800 No, I don't think so.

01:28:50.560 You think she lived at home for college?

01:28:52.020 She's been living at all...

01:28:52.780 Because the movie indicates that her first time actually away was when she went to Rome

01:28:57.400 for the semester.

01:28:58.080 That's why she wants to marry her first boyfriend. 0.81

01:29:00.300 The first dude that she's like, you mean we can like live in our own place and have our 1.00

01:29:41.580 he's remembering scenes of annie growing up the cute little moppet that he adored uh he hears a

01:29:47.680 basketball bouncing and he goes outside to find annie shooting hoops and he asks her what's wrong

01:29:52.120 and she says nothing's wrong i just couldn't sleep and she says i couldn't stop thinking about how

01:29:56.400 this is the last night in my house and i'm gonna cry again i know this movie this scene gets me

01:30:00.700 she couldn't stop thinking about how it's the last night ever she's gonna spend in this house

01:30:16.420 she can't stay but she just doesn't want to leave it starts to snow and george looks up at the snow

01:30:22.320 and then he looks down at his daughter and he has this like inscrutable look on his face

01:31:12.060 yeah uh the swans have to be stored in the bathtub portable heaters have to be loaded in 0.98

01:31:18.620 and then immediately loaded back out when they start to melt the ice sculptures to which paul

01:31:22.840 wrote down ice sculptures what the how much did that cost we didn't know it was going to be 0.97

01:31:27.240 freezing cold why is there a fucking ice sculpture at an outdoor home wedding in los angeles why 0.98

01:31:35.380 nina you got some splaining to do unless it's one of those things that you can shoot like vodka 0.98

01:31:41.460 shooters off of then fine uh so everyone's getting ready for the wedding george is in his real armani

01:31:47.140 tux frank comes over and he's like oh but very bald to wear blue tux you know and george is like

01:31:52.460 no armani doesn't make blue tuxes and frank is like they also don't make them in polyester

01:31:56.580 nina appears we have another like beautiful moment where george tells us in voiceover that

01:32:03.600 he never remember what nina wore but would always remember how she looked these moments

01:32:08.520 The voiceover in this movie is the sweetest writing ever.

01:32:12.520 It is sniping your emotional life as best it can.

01:32:15.420 Just taking shots every chance it can get.

01:32:17.820 Nina takes Matt.

01:32:18.720 They head to the church.

01:32:19.940 And George goes upstairs to collect Annie in her princess gown with white lace sneakers.

01:32:25.480 Those sneakers are the best part of the outfit. 1.00

01:32:27.840 Those ugly fucking running shoes. 1.00

01:32:31.220 They're easily the best part of the outfit. 1.00

01:32:33.200 This is the worst wedding dress we've encountered this month.

01:32:36.420 In my opinion.

01:32:37.180 Three things.

01:32:37.820 one it's the worst dress

01:32:38.940 two it seems fussy

01:32:40.200 so it would have been

01:32:40.780 hard to put on

01:32:41.580 sure

01:32:41.820 and three

01:32:42.660 when he walks

01:32:43.920 in that room

01:32:44.440 Annie is by herself

01:32:45.760 yeah 0.99

01:32:46.200 how the fuck 0.99

01:32:47.320 did she get this thing 1.00

01:32:48.320 on herself

01:32:48.920 good point

01:32:49.560 like there must be

01:32:50.680 8,000 buttons

01:32:51.900 up the back

01:32:52.500 we don't want to pay 0.99

01:32:53.120 a bridesmaid

01:32:53.740 so we're just gonna 0.97

01:32:54.860 imagine that Nina

01:32:55.860 did it for her

01:32:56.460 I just wanna point that out

01:32:58.020 because it's like

01:32:58.460 the movie elides

01:32:59.540 bridesmaids almost completely

01:33:00.900 later at the wedding

01:33:02.080 we're going to see

01:33:02.840 that Annie does

01:33:03.600 in fact have friends

01:33:04.760 because she has like 0.95

01:33:05.800 five girls 1.00

01:33:06.820 in, like, ugly pink dresses as bridesmaids. 0.99

01:33:09.420 And I'm like, where the fuck were these women the whole movie? 0.99

01:33:13.860 Yeah. 0.99

01:33:14.440 I don't mind the top half of it.

01:33:16.280 It's not my taste, but, like, I don't think the top half is independently hideous.

01:33:20.900 It is.

01:33:21.500 It is.

01:33:22.080 The bottom half just looks like a person on Project Runway ran out of time

01:33:26.580 and threw some, like, white satin on with, like, an elastic waist.

01:33:29.660 And, like, the way the top and the bottom marry is weird.

01:33:32.500 It's not great.

01:33:33.280 It's horrible.

01:33:34.140 Yeah.

01:33:34.360 It's horrible.

01:33:35.620 The ceremony goes off quickly without a hitch.

01:33:38.280 Outside of George briefly panicking that he was going to forget his line, which is, I do.

01:33:45.300 The priest marries Annie and Brian.

01:33:47.780 George tells us in voiceover that he realized that Annie was not going to be waiting for him at the top of the stairs.

01:33:52.600 Oh God, I'm going to cry again.

01:33:54.640 I swear I didn't plan to keep giving you all of these.

01:33:57.200 Or waking up for breakfast at home anymore.

01:33:59.540 Again, they live 20 minutes away.

01:34:01.340 They're going to spend the night every once in a while.

01:34:03.020 Yeah.

01:34:03.200 They're just gonna. 1.00

01:34:04.200 She's going to get in at least four huge blowout fights over the next two years and come spend the night at your house. 1.00

01:34:08.820 Also, like, they're going to spend the night over at, like, Christmas and stuff. 0.98

01:34:11.760 So, like, to be there on Christmas morning.

01:34:13.140 Like, that's just going to happen.

01:34:15.060 She's not going to be there at breakfast anymore.

01:34:16.820 She was all grown up and something inside of him started to hurt.

01:34:19.860 And he grips Nina's hand.

01:34:22.440 And Diane Keaton's crying.

01:34:24.280 And Steve Martin's crying.

01:34:26.140 And now I'm literally crying.

01:34:27.700 we can all be happy at least that this is the fastest church wedding ceremony ever oh god there

01:34:35.080 is no mass attached to this this is bing bang boom so we cut to the reception and we cut to

01:34:39.920 the part of the movie where now i'm becoming annoyed because the movie wants me to think

01:34:47.440 that george has been unable to have any time with annie since she got married we have somehow

01:34:53.920 gotten to the reception the reception has kicked off and he has not had a chance to see annie now

01:34:59.820 at this point he will ask nina and she's like annie's taking pictures fine i actually buy that

01:35:06.120 like the bride and the groom are out taking pictures there would have been a point where 1.00

01:35:09.720 the parents were with them those those unnamed white women following annie down the aisle would

01:35:15.500 have been with them would have been with them but sure dinner is announced george somehow winds up

01:35:21.500 at the back of a line

01:35:23.020 to get into the tent

01:35:24.680 that's in their backyard.

01:35:26.740 George.

01:35:27.560 Baby. 0.99

01:35:28.480 You own the club. 1.00

01:35:29.520 You own the club.

01:35:30.420 Steve Rubell did not wait in line

01:35:31.760 at Studio 54.

01:35:32.780 That's right.

01:35:33.220 You can get in there. 1.00

01:35:34.300 Suzanne Barsh never waited in a line 1.00

01:35:36.100 her whole fucking life. 1.00

01:35:38.340 Just say, 1.00

01:35:39.160 excuse me,

01:35:40.260 I'm the father of the bride.

01:35:41.880 You're all here on my dime.

01:35:43.600 Yeah.

01:35:43.780 In fact,

01:35:44.360 everyone lie down on the floor.

01:35:45.900 I'm going to walk over your back 1.00

01:35:47.480 to get into dinner first.

01:35:51.160 Okay.

01:35:51.500 he finally gets in it is now nighttime yeah it was daylight at the end of the line it is

01:35:57.780 nighttime when he gets into the tent franc appears to say that the police have arrived and they have

01:36:02.940 some questions about the cars outside now i will say that the cars outside is a reasonable problem

01:36:10.760 because when we cut outside and see the cars it appears that every guest to this wedding just

01:36:15.420 pulled up to within walking distance on the street got out of the car closed the door with the keys

01:36:21.000 inside and left and abandoned their cars so the police having questions about it is understandable

01:36:27.600 however erica okay so george goes outside and the cops say do you have a permit for parking these

01:36:34.520 cars and george says no and he looks to frank and frank is like give me a wallet i'll i'll deal with

01:36:40.980 this give me a wallet i will i'll bribe i'll bribe the cops i'll bribe the police okay frank frank 0.97

01:36:48.000 this was your fucking job yeah how did you not know that they were going to need permits uh-huh 0.99

01:36:54.240 for fucking parking this is the kind of thing you think about it you thought of swans you thought 1.00

01:36:59.280 of planting tulips you thought of rewiring the house you did not think to rent a parking structure 1.00

01:37:04.660 nearby right that everyone could park their cars and either walk there or have a shuttle bus have 0.98

01:37:09.700 a shuttle bus this drove me insane because i'm like this this is such a bullshit not real problem 0.97

01:37:14.540 that it actually took me out of the movie. 0.99

01:37:16.400 And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? 0.93

01:37:18.760 So basically the cops are like, look, 0.97

01:37:20.760 fix this situation in the next 15 or 20 minutes.

01:37:23.320 I can't remember what arbitrary time they gave them

01:37:25.160 or we're shutting the wedding down.

01:37:27.320 So obviously the movie blames George for this problem

01:37:30.360 because this wouldn't be a problem

01:37:31.760 if we had more than two parking attendants.

01:37:34.140 What are you talking about?

01:37:35.680 Where are the cars supposed to go?

01:37:37.880 That's not the problem.

01:37:38.780 The problem is not how many people do we have to park them.

01:37:41.660 The problem is, are we supposed to zap them

01:37:44.480 with the honey I shrunk the kids ray that's a good plan at this point and get and make all the 0.84

01:37:49.060 cars miniature what the fuck anyway this drives me insane so George ends up parking cars himself

01:37:54.940 along with the help of Matt and his friend Cameron so we do have some very funny moments 0.93

01:37:59.460 of two like nine ten year olds just like gleeful look on their eyes just like run like driving

01:38:04.680 cars down the street and parking them I remember that when I was growing up too a bang up job

01:38:08.840 solid job yeah Cameron parks cars better than I do today fair so unfortunately because of all

01:38:13.840 of this george ends up missing the entire dinner and dessert and speeches i guess they want me to

01:38:19.420 believe that this father and daughter of all father and daughters on the planet of the most

01:38:24.280 the most loving father and daughters of all can i tell you i genuinely called my dad after i watched

01:38:29.500 this movie just to be like hey just checking in how are you yeah because this movie made me want

01:38:33.760 to call my dad didn't have a father-daughter dance planned to butterfly kisses give me a break

01:38:43.300 it's like it's getting to the point where like the movie is manipulating me emotionally and

01:38:48.620 it's annoying me like all the other sweet things really landed in the movie like the stuff about

01:38:53.080 like the wedding and like the fact that george is right the whole time like that didn't really

01:38:56.880 take me out of the movie because i'm like whatever it's a whatever i don't care and he is also

01:39:00.780 overreacting and he's overreacting he is acting in a way that's making him hard to like listen to

01:39:05.560 Yeah. This is just like naked nonsense for no reason. He has not been in this reception at this point, the movie is telling me, for like three hours. And neither Nina nor Annie has ever been like turned to an uncle or a brother or a sister and been like, hey, you need to go find George. 0.85

01:39:28.640 yeah yeah and they didn't come out and say oh shit he's parking the cars and get 10 adults

01:39:35.920 from the wedding to be like come park these cars oh my god those suburban men would that would have 0.92

01:39:41.540 been the best part of the wedding for them yeah the best part of the wedding they would have been

01:39:44.640 like they would have sat outside and argued for five minutes about the best way to do it right

01:39:48.520 every dad i know that's their dream wedding scenario it's like i don't have to dance i can

01:39:53.880 go park cars and like with other men yes thank you yes all right so george makes it back just

01:40:01.300 in time to hear the announcement that annie will be throwing the bouquet soon and the crowd starts

01:40:06.460 to box him out again so he can't get through this i'm so irritated no one turned to him and is like 0.98

01:40:11.980 oh hey george you want to go up front because you're the father of the goddamn bride i guess 0.93

01:40:15.740 the defense for that is they're all annie nina's clients they don't know who he is so he has a 0.98

01:40:20.820 brilliant idea he'll take a shortcut through the house he sprints around he goes through the

01:40:25.380 kitchen around and up and down and blah blah blah blah blah blah obviously he doesn't make it there 0.99

01:40:31.580 annie throws the bouquet and nina regretfully says he missed it oh my god nina i'm gonna punch you in 1.00

01:40:39.080 the fucking face nina nina annie you wait 30 seconds you go hey where's dad yeah can someone 1.00

01:40:48.820 get my dad for this moment please at this point if it was my wedding and i had not seen my father 1.00

01:40:54.460 for this amount of time i would have become concerned about his health did dad have a heart

01:40:59.800 attack in the bathroom yeah because i spent so much of his money tonight i need a health check

01:41:05.720 on dad does anyone have eyes on dad dad drink himself under the table and is now passed out

01:41:11.860 in oblivion we need we need to get him some iv drips now can we make sure we roll him over so 0.75

01:41:16.600 doesn't choke on his own vomit like what is going on with dad did dad run off with one of nina's 0.90

01:41:21.420 clients to start a new family somewhere he missed it shut up nina he missed it that drove me insane 0.98

01:41:28.680 i'm so fucking glad you said that that's the moment where i was like nina's the villain she's 0.99

01:41:33.300 the villain she can't recover from this i can't even blame annie honestly i blame fucking nina 0.99

01:41:38.420 for this yeah this is bullshit also the movie does set it up they're like it can't be frank 0.99

01:41:43.300 because he doesn't speak like English very well. 0.98

01:41:45.020 It must be Howard who's like,

01:41:46.160 ladies and gentlemen, 0.97

01:41:47.140 the bride will be throwing the bouquet

01:41:48.780 and then she and the groom

01:41:49.860 are off to their honeymoon in Hawaii.

01:41:51.700 So the movie posits that at like 9 p.m. 0.99

01:41:55.600 of this fucking reception, 0.98

01:41:57.420 these two have to go run out of their own, 0.99

01:41:59.740 like to catch a plane to go to Hawaii? 1.00

01:42:02.760 This also happens in Steel Magnolias

01:42:04.600 and it drives me nuts in Steel Magnolias too.

01:42:06.320 Just go to Hawaii tomorrow.

01:42:08.220 Tomorrow.

01:42:09.060 You don't leave your own wedding reception

01:42:11.100 like just like fart in the elevator and walk away that's the fun part what are you doing 1.00

01:42:16.480 morons anyway this drives me insane annie throws the bouquet nina says he missed it 0.99

01:42:22.380 and annie and brian start to leave just as a george appears on the landing where they just 0.98

01:42:27.680 were like he missed it by like 30 seconds rather than just you know saying hey annie stop or annie

01:42:35.180 just saying hey hang on a minute george is trying to get through the crowd who's trying to follow

01:42:39.840 Annie and Brian everyone's like throwing rice yeah oh my god it's so exciting they get into the

01:42:45.260 limo they drive off George laments in voiceover that my Annie was gone and I was too late to say

01:42:51.560 goodbye no you weren't too late George this is not your fault earlier in the movie when he like

01:42:56.440 they're outside taking pictures in the backyard George is like oh okay I'll go say hi and like

01:43:01.040 some random waiter is like is like sir you can't go out this door this is not for guests and I'm

01:43:06.940 Like, he's not a guest.

01:43:08.960 Yeah. 1.00

01:43:09.220 He's the fucking host. 1.00

01:43:10.540 He can do, he could take a shit on this door if he wanted to. 1.00

01:43:13.320 No one can stop him. 1.00

01:43:14.500 This is such bullshit. 1.00

01:43:15.520 This, you're right. 1.00

01:43:16.280 My blood pressure's going up just talking about this.

01:43:19.160 We cut to George sitting with Nina in the reception aftermath.

01:43:23.080 Their house is trashed.

01:43:25.720 Is Frank not contracted for cleanup?

01:43:28.420 Look, I'm going to give them this tiny, tiny level.

01:43:31.440 Okay.

01:43:32.000 And say maybe the cleanup crew is supposed to come in the morning.

01:43:34.400 Sure.

01:43:34.640 Although there should be a basic cleanup room because there is literally like cake on the floor.

01:43:38.680 Yeah.

01:43:39.020 So they're sitting around in this trash house after the reception.

01:43:42.560 They're exhausted.

01:43:43.500 The phone rings and it's Annie.

01:43:45.660 And she thanks George for everything.

01:43:47.600 And they say, I love you.

01:43:49.080 And George slow dances with Nina as the way you look tonight plays.

01:43:54.120 End of film.

01:43:55.140 End of film.

01:43:56.340 If she hadn't called, I would be wishing for the plane to go down. 1.00

01:44:00.140 what an ungrateful little brat annie would be up for the val goldman terrible fucking 1.00

01:44:09.020 ungrateful child's contest truly and i didn't think that was ever going to get touched val 0.99

01:44:13.540 from the from the birdcage if you don't know what i'm talking about go listen to the birdcage

01:44:17.820 paul will have a fit val from the birdcage is the biggest villain that has ever been portrayed

01:44:23.440 in american cinema full stop the worst human being to ever grace the silver screen and he

01:44:30.800 saves herself from that fate by this phone call yeah all right so that is the end of the movie

01:44:35.380 stick around we will come right back with our random observations and final rankings

01:44:39.880 and we're back paul give me some random observations on father of the bride

01:44:53.120 okay uh in the beginning there was nothing but rocks no in the beginning when uh annie comes in

01:44:59.780 she's telling her parents that she's engaged blah blah blah she says she shows in the ring and she

01:45:04.800 says oh yes we got it at an italian flea market and the vendor told us it was at least 100 years

01:45:10.700 old annie girl he got that thing in an arcade yeah he he got one of those balls that used to

01:45:17.060 open up in the 80s he put his money in he opened it it was a ring he sold it to you he told it was

01:45:20.980 100 years old he lied just say you got it at an antique store and yeah that's fine yeah another

01:45:26.480 unforced error that brian made during the film is when he's like first talking to nina and george

01:45:32.120 and he's like you know i never thought i'd meet someone and fall in love so fast and and like

01:45:36.740 this is all moving so quickly it's really heavy you know to use a word from your generation

01:46:11.460 your nose excuse me i'm gonna try to drive your nose up into your brain stem i'm gonna see if i 0.98

01:46:15.080 can do it in one try uh there is a brief moment in the movie that doesn't age well it's it's just 0.66

01:46:20.760 a word we used in the 90s but he picks up matt when they're playing basketball and he

01:46:24.760 he uses the m slur for little people not meant to be offensive in the slightest it was just how 0.55

01:46:30.180 we talked but it trips you up now when you hear it yeah well you know we were garbage back then 0.82

01:46:34.900 we sure were that's why and and now we know that we're garbage still we have but we won't know 0.91

01:46:40.040 exactly how we're garbage for another 20 years and then we'll find out that's the beauty that's

01:46:44.520 the beauty of this podcast is i start to think like how in 20 years what am i going to be so

01:46:48.760 humiliated by what i said yeah can't wait to find out why can't i run for office oh right right right

01:46:56.800 my bad okay cool cool cool cool cool why can't i open an orphanage oh okay got it got it yep nope

01:47:03.360 i would put me on a list too my bad um i think probably one of the most famous lines from the

01:47:09.460 film is this joke and i forgot it because it was in the commercials for the movie but i'd forgotten

01:47:13.840 it and when i saw it again this time it really made me laugh so you know george is all freaked

01:47:18.920 out meeting brian and annie and brian and annie are being all lovey-dovey with each other and

01:47:23.700 they're about to head off for their drive and he goes don't forget to fasten your condom

01:47:27.980 yeah i mean seatbelt i meant to say seatbelt he like turns to diane keaton he's like i meant to

01:47:33.360 and everyone looks horrified excellent excellent i want to talk about the way they decided to deal

01:47:41.460 with the snow that fell on annie's wedding day and the fact that the florist who insisted they

01:47:47.140 had to plant tulips on their walk up in the yard which by the way i think they parked all of those

01:47:52.340 cars in the front yard so all those tulips have been destroyed yeah by the cars because of the

01:47:56.960 frost that happened overnight she has an extension cord and a hair dryer and she's drying out the

01:48:02.660 tulips yeah i thought that was weird too i'm like she's electrocuting herself right right a hundred 0.99

01:48:08.100 percent she's electrocuting herself running up an insane electricity bill if you're running a 1.00

01:48:12.360 hairdryer for hours on end that shit pulls a lot of power but also aren't you like killing the 0.99

01:48:16.780 tulips by doing that right it's like i think the tools might already be dead frankly let's let's 0.99

01:48:21.480 be honest being under frost all night yeah yeah none of this makes any sense no frank is really

01:48:26.280 bad at his job he's not great god like i hate to admit it because i love frank so much but if you

01:48:31.300 really start to put the pieces together frank might be like a like a con artist i only have

01:48:36.620 one more and it's i'm also going to hearken back to the the snow as they're shoveling the snow and

01:48:41.280 like cleaning up the mess bd wong walks past howard howard weinstein howard's walking through

01:48:46.940 the house with like buckets of snow and he says to george with this big cheerful grin on his face

01:48:51.260 he goes thank god snow is white it just works you know what i mean it works thank you thank

01:48:59.440 you howard weinstein i love you uh i have one more thing i have to discuss something i never

01:49:03.740 noticed as a child nor should i have at the bar george is drinking a beer did you notice what

01:49:10.000 brian is drinking no what is he drinking brian is drinking something that looks like a like a

01:49:17.220 thick frozen raspberry cosmo what it is it looks like you know what it looks like it looks like

01:49:24.660 Remember in, what's the movie with Patrick Dempsey renting the woman to date?

01:49:29.540 Can't Buy Me Love.

01:49:30.520 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:49:31.360 We were talking about Arizona Chunky Wine.

01:49:33.400 Oh, yes.

01:49:34.140 God, you have such a good memory.

01:49:35.360 It looks like Arizona Chunky Wine.

01:49:37.420 Huh, what?

01:49:38.040 Is he drinking a sangria?

01:49:39.540 I don't, but it's in a cosmopolitan glass.

01:49:42.460 It is in whatever that's called.

01:49:43.840 I remember what it's called.

01:49:44.260 Like a martini glass.

01:49:44.740 A martini glass, yes.

01:49:45.980 Huh.

01:49:46.660 But it's too dark to be a, it doesn't really look like a Cosmo.

01:49:49.300 Yeah. 0.58

01:49:49.660 I was waiting for George to honestly make like a, probably kind of a shitty comment about it.

01:49:54.000 About his, like, weird choice of alcohol.

01:49:55.940 Yeah.

01:49:56.440 Was it frozen or was it not frozen?

01:49:58.280 Because maybe it was a Manhattan.

01:49:59.820 It looked frozen, but it wasn't brown.

01:50:02.260 It was distinctly purplish pink.

01:50:04.740 Huh. 0.98

01:50:05.300 I'm going to go back and watch that, just that part of the movie, just to see what the fuck that is. 0.95

01:50:10.020 Paul, how should we rank this film? 0.91

01:50:13.420 How should we rank the film?

01:50:14.600 How about one to ten, $350,000 wedding?

01:50:17.880 how about one to ten three three months in Ibiza to make you fall in love with me

01:50:25.440 I could be charming for three months I can be anything for three months I could be

01:50:31.480 I could not have gas for three months I'll feel really blah but it's okay it's okay I go I fart

01:50:38.860 somewhere else it's fine I walk away and I fart I'll excuse myself to the batch yeah I could I

01:50:44.140 I could not say anything offensive in three months.

01:50:46.760 It would be hard, but I could do it.

01:50:48.080 I could do it.

01:50:48.940 I could make you think I'm a real laddie for three months.

01:50:51.980 When actually I'm a Trump.

01:50:56.480 One to ten real Armani Toxes.

01:50:59.580 That was so good.

01:51:00.540 I didn't know what you said.

01:51:01.860 Real Armani Toxes.

01:51:03.680 I think you said real Armani Toxes.

01:51:05.820 Yeah, that's right.

01:51:06.620 How about, here we go.

01:51:07.900 One to ten francisms.

01:51:09.220 I think, well, clearly since we've delivered everything else in his voice.

01:51:13.400 Let's do the rest of the show like this.

01:51:16.180 Paul, how would you write this movie?

01:51:18.960 Does it look like an address wall? 0.63

01:51:20.080 It's pretty white.

01:51:22.640 Do you want to go first or shall I go first?

01:51:25.440 You can go first on this one.

01:51:26.540 Okay, I'll go first.

01:51:27.480 I'll go first.

01:51:29.500 Okay, very white movie outside of the beautiful,

01:51:32.980 the luminous Howard Weinstein.

01:51:34.660 Howard Weinstein.

01:51:37.200 It's a very white movie.

01:51:39.180 I'm trying to figure out if these accents are offensive.

01:51:42.440 I don't think they are.

01:51:43.420 I don't think so.

01:51:44.140 Martin Short specifically said this is not a real accent.

01:51:46.880 And we're not attempting a Chinese accent for Bibi Wong.

01:51:50.640 No, because that's not what Howard Weinstein is playing.

01:51:52.580 Howard Weinstein is playing something else.

01:51:54.440 He's playing very erudite.

01:51:57.620 He has a beautiful braid. 0.98

01:51:59.240 He's playing like a fancy French lady. 1.00

01:52:01.200 Yeah. 0.97

01:52:03.060 All right.

01:52:03.720 So very white movie.

01:52:05.140 It's really a movie about George.

01:52:07.440 Even Nina and Annie are clearly secondary characters.

01:52:10.940 I don't know that anyone else even really has an arc in the movie.

01:52:14.520 Annie has a bit of a story of, like, growing up and letting go.

01:52:18.160 But, like, it's really just a mirror to George's story.

01:52:20.980 It's barely her own arc, even, really.

01:52:23.740 But, you know, I think Nina and Annie are the two next largest characters in the film.

01:52:28.420 Yeah. 0.94

01:52:28.760 So there's female representation here.

01:52:31.060 It's not like we've not elided the bride completely out of her wedding.

01:52:35.180 There isn't gay content, but as a gay kid, something was there.

01:52:39.160 I was interested.

01:52:40.080 i'm not kidding at 11 years old i was like well that's a gay man but that yeah and i was fine

01:52:44.260 with it i was like okay cool there's a gay man on my screen like i i genuinely would have thought

01:52:48.800 that yeah i think and and i i don't i don't think that he is punching down at a gay man with this

01:52:57.460 portrayal he's he first he's punching down at foreigners yeah first of all knowing who martin

01:53:02.920 short is as a performer yeah like he is doing martin like he's being very flamboyant and for

01:53:08.120 for lack of a better term,

01:53:08.840 limp-wristed and gesturing.

01:53:10.480 That's just what he always does.

01:53:11.720 That he always does that.

01:53:12.960 And it's not at all,

01:53:14.140 it doesn't come off at all to me as a gay joke. 0.65

01:53:16.780 If anyone's a gay joke in it, 0.83

01:53:18.060 it's Howard Weinstein. 0.97

01:53:19.600 Howard Weinstein.

01:53:20.200 And you know what?

01:53:21.020 B.D. Wong has the right.

01:53:23.220 It's fine with me.

01:53:24.180 And again, it's not a joke on gay people. 1.00

01:53:27.980 It's a joke about gay people 0.99

01:53:30.280 delivered by a gay person. 1.00

01:53:31.800 I'm completely fine with it. 0.87

01:53:32.920 And I definitely, as a kid, was like,

01:53:35.220 huh, I'm interested in those too.

01:53:37.220 you almost became a wedding planner yeah well not that much but um i think it it mostly ages fine

01:53:45.340 i i would say like the complete kind of whiteness of the movie even up to and including the weather

01:53:50.820 come on snow even those swans come on we couldn't get one black swan in here yeah i saw that movie

01:53:56.700 i know they exist um it's probably the biggest is the biggest omission um i really genuinely got

01:54:05.000 annoyed at the movie at the end because i was like you are manipulating me and i could and you're

01:54:10.440 manipulating me this way that's stupid and doesn't make sense you could have written something better 0.96

01:54:14.220 right exactly right a better obstacle like maybe it's not that he can't see annie but he says hi 0.99

01:54:20.320 to her and he wants to talk to her and he wants to have a like a really heart to heart and that's

01:54:23.680 much heart you can't do that at a wedding yeah and so that then it becomes an actual thing of

01:54:28.580 like i wanted to like tell you how proud i am of you whatever that's the kind of thing that a would

01:54:32.720 have punched us in the gut again when he finally got a chance to say it like maybe he wants to do

01:54:36.300 that and then he winds up having to say it in front of everybody as she's getting into the car

01:54:39.440 yeah and he has to it's not a private moment but it's a public one where he gets to talk about how

01:54:43.180 much he loves his daughter i'm tearing up just thinking about steve martin doing that i mean

01:54:47.300 gee i cried like three times talking about this movie i mean every movie is on some level an

01:54:52.420 emotional manipulation right so like i just think it works up until that last scene at which point

01:54:56.580 And I'm like, no.

01:54:58.160 But I think it overall ages fine.

01:55:02.540 I'm going to bet a seven out of ten fronchisms.

01:55:06.520 It's all, it's just, it ages perfectly fine.

01:55:10.140 I think you're wrong, Paul.

01:55:12.040 I think it ages really poorly.

01:55:14.060 I don't think this movie is chic at all.

01:55:16.540 It's chic, but not chic.

01:55:17.520 I think it's chic.

01:55:18.380 I don't think it's chic.

01:55:19.080 I don't think this movie is chic like Sifford.

01:55:22.000 I think it's chic like chicken.

01:55:23.460 um my only gripe with the movie everything paul said yes my only gripe really my only gripe with

01:55:30.140 the movie is that it's really super old-fashioned i get annoyed when like certain gender roles are

01:55:36.440 just taken for granted and so like the whole like the father of the bride has to pay for the wedding

01:55:42.580 and it's this like big poofy white dress and he's giving her away and like there's certain things

01:55:47.700 like that that i'm like i don't love that and i don't love the reinforcement of those those like

01:55:52.140 traditions i i'll grant you that they are traditions and that they're there for a very

01:55:59.420 specific reason but like it just bothers me a little bit when i see it like in a movie and

01:56:04.840 like a movie that was like made when i was alive yeah like i in in the 1950 version wouldn't bother

01:56:10.620 me at all but like in like 1991 i'm like come on are we still doing and like the crazy thing is too

01:56:16.260 is that the movie does give annie like she wants to start her own business and she wants to like

01:56:20.780 make sure she can work the movie does push back on certain things and it does have some modern

01:56:25.380 yeah like ideals in it which i thought was really cool um but like that's my one gripe and it's not

01:56:31.320 it's not fair it's like not a fair gripe the movie is about a wedding like what what girl

01:56:35.740 what'd you think you were walking into so i will i will admit that that is more my stuff than the

01:56:40.980 movie stuff but i just want to point that out in case like anyone else has that kind of similar

01:56:44.580 feeling of like stop like with this super super traditional wedding nonsense yeah yeah i rolled

01:56:51.380 my eyes a lot during the movie like she's 22 and she wants to get married and she's and like no one

01:56:56.960 is like pushing back on her except her dad and the movie's idea is that the dad is sort of wrong and

01:57:01.780 the dad is being selfish yeah because he wants to keep his kid at home longer and i'm like sure but

01:57:06.460 also he's not wrong like you just met this person you barely know him and now you want to get married

01:57:12.320 in three months like what what's the rush why wouldn't they just have made it my boyfriend of

01:57:16.540 four years like i've been we've been together for a long time we want to get married i guess it kind

01:57:20.180 of like it it takes out the surprise of everything yeah but yeah like it's hard to it's hard to view

01:57:27.060 her as a serious person yes if there was a little bit of pushback from nina even like who was it was

01:57:34.000 like are you sure do you want to give it a year you don't have to do this now and and annie can

01:57:39.160 be like actually i thought this through yeah and i know this seems insane but i i feel like this is

01:57:44.300 the right thing to do then at least i'd be like well she's going into this with her eyes open

01:57:48.880 yeah i'm just realizing that diane keaton is playing the diametric opposite character she

01:57:52.500 played in the family stone oh 100 100 this is the nicest mom ever yeah so that's the only gripe i

01:58:00.880 have and again it's not the movie's fault it's it's my fault for watching a wedding movie and

01:58:05.400 Like, there's a wedding in this?

01:58:07.040 Ew! 1.00

01:58:07.600 Bullshit. 1.00

01:58:08.120 Gross. 1.00

01:58:09.320 So, just take from that what you will. 0.76

01:58:11.720 I'm going to give it, you give it a seven?

01:58:13.000 I did.

01:58:13.540 I'm going to give it, I'm going to give it a six.

01:58:15.860 Okay.

01:58:16.100 I still think this is entirely worth watching.

01:58:18.360 It's so much fun.

01:58:19.480 And honestly, I was not expecting, I think, I don't think I'd seen it since I was a kid.

01:58:23.880 Sure.

01:58:24.300 Like, I thought in the theater with my family, maybe one other time on TV when I was still

01:58:28.560 really young.

01:58:29.580 And then I have not seen this movie since I became an adult.

01:58:32.080 And like, the father-daughter stuff really hit me hard.

01:58:35.320 Yeah.

01:58:35.400 like really really hit me hard so especially if you're of a certain age you might want to re-watch

01:58:39.620 it because it's very sweet yeah so do you feel the need to offer a palate cleanser oh no that

01:58:43.880 was all my way of saying no palate cleanser for me i'm good with the palate i've also never seen

01:58:47.400 the sequel which i heard is diminishing returns i saw it once and i i only watched it the one time

01:58:52.180 so i i i know it it's spoilers for father of the bride part two i know it it revolves around

01:58:57.640 concurrent pregnancies of annie and nina yes i remember the commercials yeah i've also never

01:59:02.360 seen the 1951 and i actually would love to see that because oh yeah spencer tracy plays the dad

01:59:07.500 yeah i think it'd be really cute to see so i'm gonna put that on my to-do list all right so
