Summary

Cinephobe hosts analyze the 1998 comedy 'Senseless,' starring Marlon Wayans and David Spade, discussing its flawed premise about a college student who gains superhuman senses through an experimental drug. The hosts debate whether the film succeeds as comedy, examine recycled Wayans humor, and explore how the movie's third act undermines its stronger opening.

Insights
  • Recycled comedy material from earlier Wayans projects (In Living Color, The Wayans Brothers) was reused in Senseless, suggesting improvisation on set sometimes meant repeating established bits rather than creating new material
  • The film's protagonist becomes morally compromised through eavesdropping and manipulation, making him the antagonist of his own story despite being positioned as the hero
  • Mismatched soundtrack choices (techno music during emotional moments) can undermine comedic and dramatic timing, creating tonal dissonance that damages scene effectiveness
  • The experimental drug premise required a third-act setback that felt artificially imposed rather than organically motivated by character or plot logic
  • Director Penalope Spheeris's experience with Miramax/Weinstein producers reportedly soured her on mainstream Hollywood filmmaking, illustrating production-side pressures that can compromise creative vision

What happens when two people who grew up in a very strange corner of Los Angeles look back and realize just how bizarre their upbringings really were? They start a podcast, of course. I'm Ashley Johnson. And I'm Taliesin Jaffe. Before we became the internet people we are today, we spent our childhoods as working actors, appearing in shows like growing pains in films like Mr. Mom. In our podcast, Weird Kids, we're diving deep into our unique upbringings, our friendship with each other, and all the delightfully odd interests we still carry with us today. In each episode we get to share stories of our youth, the things that bring us joy, the problems that we face, and occasionally the friends we've collected along the way. If you're a misfit, an outcast, or just a weirdo who loves all things nostalgic and unconventional, come take a seat at our table. Each week we'll be releasing previously members-only episodes on YouTube and all major podcast platforms, with new episodes dropping exclusively and ad-free on beacon.tv. This podcast contains mature content, explicit language, suggestive situations, and partial to full frontal nudity. Listener discretion is advised. Don't let your kids listen to this. Oh, we're not doing a fucking hookah episode, are we? I'm not drinking, so I gotta do something. You could just podcast. Let's give it a quick test of the instruments. Ready to go? Could have felt Bruins the movie watching experience for good. This is so bad. I would watch this every day. Buddy, I could not possibly be high enough to make this movie work. I realize that we're watching these movies in vastly different ways. Don't act like you're fucking disappointed. I am disappointed. Come on, let's go, guys. I'm missing the Oscars. I'm still horny, so I'm not gonna fob it. I didn't fucking understand anything. You leave this movie hyped as fuck and chittery. Copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy. I was thirsty. I'm thirsty. I don't know about you, but I'm thirsty as fuck. It went out my nose, I threw up, and I almost peed on myself all at once. Forget about it. This is really beginning to get on my tits. Slap, yak, ma, beat. La Cooia. The yaki problem. Hit the go! Deceptive captions to say the least. Oh my god. Captions are way off. Eliad left it right. Wouldn't write horror if their life depended on it. Yeah. Don't worry, we took care of it, captions. Keep the language and show me some titties. Enough of this useless banter. Five million dollars of heroin? That's nurse work. Fucking Babe Ruth of terrorism. How the fuck did you get from me having one towel to Obaha Beach? I'm not gay. I just happen to have sex with men sometimes. Well let's take that out of context and put that in the intro. Zach, stop talking. Stop fucking talking for a second. I have a vagina. Ha ha ha! Don't disappoint me, Derek. Why the low-raining, what the blabber? He's been getting diddled by two scoops McGee over there. Why would these guys lie? Right? Why would you do that? They know two more views. Welcome to CitiFo, the podcast. We break down the movies you're afraid to meet your love. I'm Zach Harper. That's Amin El Hassan. That's Anthony Mays. I don't know shit where you listen to it, but we're going to overdose you on drugs and that way you only have four year senses at any given time. Spotify is where you can vote in the poll, like the poll for Van Wilder, 27.6% phobe, 72.4% file. Not too late to change that. You'll be not surprised by those results, but there you have it. You're surprised. Pretty high. This did it. Spotify is also where you can leave a comment like Silent B. Ah, Silent B. Who said, never even heard of two guys, a girl, in a pizza shop before this movie. Which is... What? Pizza place. We've definitely mentioned it for... We've mentioned it so many times. Other Ryan Reynolds movies, who's a 10 timer, but it's absolutely something Amin watched in his scouting. Spoiler alert, they don't eat the pizza. Who would he be scouting there? Oh, is this like a pizza delivery porn? I think he's trying to make a two girls, one cup joke. Oh, yeah. It was a good show. Well, it was a show I watched. Silent B is trying to do comedy right there. And you get mad at me for being mad at the listeners. Tdap commented, listen to this episode twice. And now I have targeted ads to visit Vacayville. There you go. I'm not mad at Silent B. I'm just merely pointing out what he was attempting to do, or she was attempting to do. Oh. Ally. I love the idea that the bar's so low that all you have to do is, maybe it was a woman, and now you're an ally. And... Dattnotlit commented, Amin hating to laugh at his own jokes is my Sean ass in digging a pool. I really don't. He loves laughing at his own jokes. I don't. It bothers me when I listen to the episode and I hear myself laugh. Unless it's like the hysterical I can't keep it together laugh. If it's like, I'm going to say something funny. I'm saying something funny. The scene wasn't funny. I'm saying something funny. And then I start laughing. I don't like that. I think it's kind of corny to be honest with you. But like reading the letter from Trippin? That's shit. So many times this week, I thought about it. No, from Crossover. Oh, from Crossover. Excuse me, from Crossover. Yeah. I've laughed so hard, driving in the shower, taking a dump. Just start busting out laughing. They're a smart cookie there. It's just so weird that that's what they called it. In an acceptance letter. Hey man, pressing. That's the part I don't understand. Pressing understands college. That's a detail. Wait, hold on. The GED? Pressing? That's a person? Hey, does it matter how you get in? Does it matter how you got out? Ah, something. Well, I'll recuse myself. Vocab words. I plead the fifth. Vocab words. Is that on your calendar this morning? Leave us a review. Leave a comment.

All right, we started the new century with crossover for episode 300 and Pluto TV's suggestions brought us to the 1998 high concept comedy, slapstick comedy romance, senseless. I'm sorry. Can you explain what a high concept comedy is because I don't think I understand what that means. It's not this. Well, something else that it's not is a buddy comedy science fiction. Is that what yours was? Uh huh. Wow. He's not buddies with Matthew Lillard. I guess that is who he's talking about. He's roommates. No, they're buddies. CT5 best friends. CT5 best friend. Oh my God. That guy's a very good friend. I don't know. That's a good CT5 though. Actually, that baby's the one we do tomorrow. That might be the one we do. I wouldn't hate that. Months ago. Yeah. If you listen to this, we might have done it. CT5 months ago. Oh, CT5 months ago. Actually, I don't think I should do that one. I'll recuse myself. All right, senseless stars Marlon Wayans, David Spade and Brad Durif. This is Marlon's fourth appearance on Cinephobe with Don't Be a Menace, scary movie three and white chicks as his previous offenses. I wish I knew how to quit you. He had the sixth man in 1997, this movie in 1998, and Requiem for a Dream and Scary Movie in 2000. I would like to nominate him for the next Jim Carrey. So I want to change this. I mean, because the next Marlon Wayans, this movie tried to make him the black Jim Carrey. For sure. That's 100% what they were going for here. Tough thing to start calling people. Black Jim Carrey. I don't know. You can do it. Okay. I don't think they should be throwing that around there. Willie Nilly. Mays, I'm allowed. Mays, go ahead and say it. I think you should recuse yourself. Say it as many times as you want. Look, you came up with it. You do have the right of first recusal. Okay. I regret the asking Zach to do this. David Spade's fourth appearance on Cinephobe, but he's a five time repeat offender with Jack and Jill grownups to Grandma's Boy. And I saw him at dinner a couple of weeks ago as his previous offenses. I wish I knew how to quit you. He had eight heads in Duffelbag in 97, this movie in the Rugrats movie in 98, and then lost and found in 1999. He's coming off a Tommy boy in black sheep. Next Jim Carrey for David Spade or no? It's not a bad call. Joe Dirt is coming up. So that's his next Jim Carrey moment. All that note. Brad was in child's play Lord of the Rings, the twin tower. Oh, I wrote twin towers. And he's a repeat offender for Amos and Andrew. I wish I knew how to quit you. That is a brutal. You should call back for Zach right there. It's tough. Brad Starr says the professor from How High is Brother. Learned this time around that he is the voice of Chucky. Yes. Wow. How about that? In every iteration of the franchise, voice of Chucky, child's play. All throughout the years. Yeah. Oh, good for him. That's a nice paycheck. Esther Scott, repeat offender from Encino Man. I wish I knew how to quit you. Starr's his big mama. Deborah Joe Rupp from that 70s show. Kitty man. She's the best. Mark Christopher Lawrence, repeat offender for Planet of the Apes. Matthew Lillard from Summercatch. He stars as Matthew Lillard. Full name. Always use Matthew Lillard every time. Matthew Lillard. Welcome to Cinefob. Hackers scream SLC punk. She's all that wing commander. Scooby-Doo. I was trying so hard to figure out when he shot SLC punk. Because I can't figure out if he's already in character for SLC punk. And he showed up to this movie. And they're like, oh, just do all this shit you're already doing for this indie movie. Or if it's after and he's not letting go of the character, I can't figure it out. But it's too much of a coincidence to ignore. It's Matthew Lillard, a next-team carry. Nah, man. Scooby-Doo was massive. Nothing after that, right? No, because he's in Summercatch after this. That's a big movie. No. For me. For us. How many movies has he done with Freddy Prince? I think a lot. That's a lot, man. Wing Commander, man. Future Cinefob. He sucks. Tamara Taylor from 223 episodes of Bones. This joke would make more sense if her name came later in the casting, but I'll say it right now. Patina Ohulahan. OK. Spoiler alert. John Engle, repeat offender from Batman and Robin. Ernie Lively, repeat offender from Passager 57 and Hard to Kill. Rip Torn, repeat offender from Men in Black 2. I wish I knew how to quit you. Pat is Ohulahan. Constance Zimmer, aka Dana Gordon from Entourage. Oh, yeah. Love Dana Gordon. Jeff Garland from Kerb. I haven't heard this. You fat fuck in the Susie voice. Patrick Ewing from The Orlando Magic. Bet you over those Seattle Super Sonics. Forget Paris and Space Jam, not a neti. Michelle Brookhurst from Can't Hardly Wait. It's the last one I have. Also, Vacella Shannon from Can't Hardly Wait and D2 the Mighty Ducks. Darrell Heath from Barbed Wire and Don't Be A Menace. Mike Butters from D2 and Dante's Peak. I wish I knew how to quit you. Also, Sherman Hemsley. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Orlando Brown from Major Pain and That's So Raven. Orlando Brown has that crazy motherfucker. Oh, thanks. I got Richard McGonagall, who is Mr. Star from Java World on Seinfeld. Remember when they got to do the settlement with Kramer because he spilled hot coffee? Yes. He says we'll give you unlimited coffee plus and Kramer says I'll take it. Greg Grunberg from Felicity, Alias Lost and Heroes. Wexley from Star Wars. Ken Lerner from Maniac Cop and Michael Lerner's brother. Lerner and Ro. Jeanette Goldstein. T2. From Aliens, Lethal Weapon 2 and Terminator 2. Has anyone ever been in three better sequels than that? No. I don't think they made a senseless two. So. Hayden Christensen. Oh, yeah. And then Kenya Moore from I Know Who Killed Me. And? And Real Housewives of Atlanta. There you go. Senseless was directed by Pina Lope. Sphereus. Same note too, bro. Pina Lope directed Suburbia, The Boys Next Door, Dudes, Wayne's World, The Beverly Hillbillies, Little Rascals and Black Sheep. And then this movie made her quit Hollywood. Oh. More than that in the trivia. Oh boy. We've got two writing credits on this one. Greg Erb wrote Rocket Man and Princess and the Frog. Crumbling Herb. He's an herb, all right. And then Craig Mazen wrote Rocket Man, Scary Movie 4, Super Hero Movie, Identity Thief, Hangover 2 and 3, Created the Last of Us. That's the fucking craziest shit ever. And Repeat Offender for Scary Movie 3. I wish I knew how to quit you. He hit with Chernobyl after being basically a corporate script polisher, whatever. And then Chernobyl hit and now he's in The Last of Us and he's finally made it. So good for Craig Mazen. How much polishing did he have to do? For Hangover 2 and 3. Oh, I'm a sweet for this, but okay. Beverly Hillbillies. Is that qualify? I love that movie. You would. It's great. What are you talking about? Our guy boggles in it. I said you would. Why would you take that as an insult? That sounds like a challenge. All right. Synopsis for senseless. A student gets his senses enhanced by an experimental drug, but abuse is not an option. That's a pretty on the nose synopsis. The synopsis from Pluto TV is perpetually poor Darrell. Now I wish I called him that. That's not wrong. He was pretty poor. It's also true. Risks losing his dream Wall Street job to a wealthy snob until he finds a high paying scientific experiment that gives him superhuman senses and the competitive edge he needs. But when the side effects start, all bets are off. Exclamation point. Not accurate. I don't think he was in the running until he started taking the drug. So he wasn't going to lose it. He never had it. There's no risk. He definitely didn't risk it. That's the wrong word. Or, or, or he messed up that first exam, that final exam because of the drugs. Maybe he would have been in the running had he not failed his exam. He doesn't qualify in any other way. All the other things they asked for him to do. Racist. No, I'm just saying. He wasn't in a front and he didn't play a sport. Sean Hastin. Tagline. A secret experiment gave him super senses. Then came the side effects. Yeah. They're really honing in on the side effects. The side effects wouldn't come before the experiment, which he quickly dispatches. That's a blip in the radar and the whole process. The side effects. Yeah. Oh, the original side effects. I was going to say that's the third act, the whole third act is side effects. Well, that comes right after lazy writing, right? Horseman. $15 million estimated budget gross 12.8 million US and worldwide flop city. All right. 13.1. But yes. And then before we jump in this movie, listen to rest of this podcast. Senseless is available on Pluto TV. Yeah. That's where we live now. Yep. Are you not going to do the DZ chain? I can if you want. Well, I've got some DZ chain opportunities for you. Oh, from the last one. Okay. It's not really what we're doing though. I know. You know, once I turn this part of my brain on, I can't turn it off. Keep firing. What if you overdose on DZ chains and then they start going away? I got super DZ chains. I got regular DZ chains. I got regular DZ chains. I got all kinds of DZ chains. Which sounds like just two. I got a couple super DZ chains. Super regular. Two kinds. Yeah. He said I got all kinds. I just do. I'm recusing the other kinds of DZ chains that I have. Senseless receives 6% on 17 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. 45% from the audience on over 10,000 ratings. I mean, would you like the positive or the negative reviews? Not a DQ. How about that? Oh, what am I? I'm a half herd dump from the stairway kind of guy. Give you the positives. I bet you love that scene. Well, we have to watch the movie and figure it out. Hey John, that's weird. That glass looks half full to me. Wow. Now that you mention it, it is half full. So the 6% mean one positive review? Yes. And it's from? Doris Tumorkind of Film Journal International. Oh, you're Tumorkind. How many kinds? Marlon Wayans makes a respectable big screen comedic turn. Respectable. Huh? Okay. Comedic turn. So you notice him from, is that Requiem for a Dream? Requiem for a Dream, that's where she first saw him. And then like, oh, he does a little comedy. He's trying comedy out. Oh, he can do comedy too. Yeah. Blank user 5 out of 5. 5 stars just because Matthew Lillard is hot and I would jump off a bridge without hesitating if he asked me to. Wow. That Z Harper? 5 out of 5? No, blank user. I didn't log in. Blank user 3 out of 5. Good watch, could watch again and can recommend. This is a top notch cast in 1998 and in 2021. There is quality execution and a good concept. I feel it's a little unrelatable as it feels like an Ivy League problem. But the core of rich versus middle class is still there. I actually miss movies like this. Even if it is only a good movie and not a great movie, it will always been good because the principles are there. Definitely not an Ivy League review. Not middle class, by the way. He's a perpetually poor Darrell, not. Yeah. Perpetually middle class. Right. I agree with this reviewer about the cast. The further down I went, I was like, oh, this person's in this. Oh, this person's in this. It's a deep cast. It's not a top heavy cast. You don't say. Don't do that to Deborah Joe Rupp. Was it a bondage cheerleader cast? Or was it a big butt cast? Was it a dirty cast? A lot of magazines in this one. Blank user 4 out of 5. CD5 magazines. This was pretty good. I liked it. It had some good scenes in it. Gotta watch if you like wands. Gotta. Horseman in the running recycled Wayne's jokes. Oh boy. There's a lot of recycled jokes. If you've seen one way in the movie, you've seen this one. And then blank user 4 out of 5. Marlon Wayans is uncharacteristically likeable. A glace at the credits reveals the reason he didn't help write the screenplay. Some hilarious non sequiturs come out of Wayne's mouth when he pretends to have Tourette's. I had not expected to laugh during this movie and it was not my last. Sensus is a nice clean by today's PG13 standards. Everything works out in the end comedy. Bondage cheerleaders magazine cover. Look at this photograph. I don't know how clean it is. Negative reviews. Stop being a pessimist. This tank is not half full. It's half empty. Dan Di Nicola nailed it of the Daily Gazette. Hello, neglig, eh? God damn it, Steven. It's the kind of movie funnier in the planning stages than on film. Okay. Mike Clark of USA Today. Have we seen this before? Here's another comedy about a substance that supernaturally alters its hero's life. A premise that also sustained Jerry Lewis's nutty professor, not to mention Eddie Murphy's remake and Ruckwind for a dream. Cuck O'Leary of fullview drive in dot com. Zero out of five. What? Come on, cuck. Roger Ebert of Chicago Suntimes. I read it. Sensus is a Jim Carrey movie fighting to be a penelope, spurious movie and losing. Yeah, that's right. Michael Dukena of themoviereport.com. Shocker. Moments are simply that moments, which are not enough to lift this fantasy comedy above its one joke premise. He tried. I like that Michael Dukena tried to like this movie. User Mitch S one out of five. Miss Settberg. Mitch Sitchman. Boring, but thank you to whoever did hair, makeup and wardrobe for Matthew Lillard. See, this is what I'm saying. I'm not sure how much credit they deserve for that. User Hanei Yoda K half star out of five. I think I said penelope. I'm all about stupid comedies, but this was just stupid. I'd rather see a movie about his roommate Tim SLC punk coming soon. Hold on. All right. What's happening here? There's a lot of pro Matthew Lillard. It's a third America. I mean, yeah, the pierced America blank user three and a half out of five, seven and a half out of 10 movie funny. When his arm fell asleep, hilarious, best scene, which time seven and a half out of 10 is not three. The math doesn't add up blank user three out of five. It was okay. It was funny. One thing though, what's the one thing that's it? You're going to leave me on the hook like that. Well, there were three exclamation points and then blank user one out of five spade and wands. What a great combo of annoyance. We'll get a means first note, maze first note and my first note after these messages, unless you are a patreon member, patreon.com slash counting. So you get an ad free episode right to me out. I mean, what is your first note by complete quizzes? I was watching family guy a few days before I watched this movie. Yeah, you never do that. In the episode with David spade in it. Oh, okay. Cleveland doesn't know who David spade is. So maze, I'd like you to clip that please. Who is this guy? I'm not familiar with him. That's David spade from just shoot me. I don't know that one. He was in grown ups Joe dirt Saturday night live Saturday. What? How he was also in some movie called senseless with Marlon Wayans. Oh, yeah. He played Scott Thorpe. Donna, I'm here with Scott Thorpe. That's right from senseless maze. What is your first note? Isn't this the one where the guy becomes senseless? Isn't that the one where the guy becomes limitless? My first note, our campus tour guides a real thing. They are road trip dead men on campus. This movie. Should I have been doing that at San Diego State? So you could not show up to that job too. I always show up to my jobs. Oh man, when you were telling the story last night, you had so much detail. The detail was so rich. It was rich. Go into incredibly descriptive details of the story so we all know. Oh, yes. Now time for the scenes. Here's what happened. Marlon is rushing to a tour group to show them around. Hello, freshmen, fresh women, people of freshness. Welcome to Stratford University's freshman orientation. Holy 20 CB this song. Crystal method. Yeah, that one was everywhere. The techno music soundtrack was a choice. Matthew Lillard. It didn't even fit Matthew Lillard. I spierced. It's weird maze because it tries to live in two different worlds. And that sometimes it's a techno soundtrack and sometimes it's an urban soundtrack. But the ambient music or instead of score, they use techno. Yes. And that was weird. He's Darryl Witherspoon. He's got another tour group in about a half hour. So let's get touring. He wants to speed walk. College tour guide month continues and Marlon speed walk. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the horsemen, Komedy physical comedy. He's an econ major. So he shows them where he spends the majority of his time. Thanks to Stratford's top notch financial aid program. Oh, bullshit. Oh, spends the rest of his time giving tours, working food services. Then I'm assuming takes a long walk to this administration building and finishes his sentence saying and delivering campus mail. I hate when movies do that. You really do. It really bothers me. This is what drove you insane in the beach bum. How does this not bother you where they would cut to a different location with him and Zach Efron and yes. So you're just waiting to finish the sentence and then I oh, by the way, let me finish that thought. So stupid. It always dovetails right with impeccable timing to finish his sentence right at the location he needs to be. He shows them the Truman scepter encased in glass in the administration building. No, it's not super flies. Pimp can now look. I'm a relatively learned man. I don't think scepter is spelled that way. That's Sceptor. Is that like an old English spelling of Sceptor? I thought you were going to go in a different direction, which is, ah, so they had tyrant king presidents back then too. Oh, what if I told you that it's spelled S C E P T R E. But that's a British way. That's fine. That's like center, center. Sceptor is incorrect. Okay. You are right about that. You don't have to recuse yourself. I won't recuse myself. I thought. Little silly old me thought. Oh, you come back. It's not Truman scepter. It's check off Sceptor. Yeah. Oh, yes. I 100% thought this was coming back. And it wasn't until you sent me the photograph of it that I thought they never got back to the fucking scepter. What happened to that scepter? God damn it. Hey, man. I thought it would be like, how high? These are the smoke weed out of it or something. Right. Sure. No. Inject himself with it. Who knows? Nope. Nothing. Next up prize winning neuro psychology building. And they stop at the cafeteria, bust little suds, girls wash, guys dry. Guys got a lot of jobs. They're picking up trash and helping them with campus maintenance. Sorting the recycling plastic in the blue bin, paper in the green. He then delivers the package to Dr. Whedon, AKA. Pressure from how high his brother. We see a neon green rat in a cage. Beakers of neon green flubber. I didn't thought, oh, so he's going to turn neon green at some point. No. I wish the ones at my mom's house would glow in the dark. Dr. Whedon motions him to get out, get it? Cause he's poor, perpetually exposition. Now he's running with a group pointed out building, building, building that building's old. That building's got windows. And I said, I could absolutely do this job back at the library, end of the tour. He turns the camera pans to another group and the beginning of yours. Welcome. Comedy. And he wakes up with his ass on stathom style as he's watching the stock market on TV, 20 CB TV, his mom calls. He's an econ major. A what? An econ major. Econ. The fuck was supposed to be? Look, maze. I'm not alone on this, right? Yeah. I glued those two words together. It sounded like econ started with an N, like a weird pronunciation of the cameras that I like to point out. That's right. It's his mom. Same old, same old, blaze, blaze. She wants to know when he starts his new job on wall street. Oh, she does deliver this line that I enjoyed greatly. The roaches are getting an attitude. I just like that. I just love the idea of being so poor that the roaches like what's going on here, man. That's cool. He doesn't exactly have it. A lot of competition for the smith baits job. Ma wonders how we'll pay tuition. Marlon will get another job. They threaten to turn off the gas. Marlon will pay the bill. And there's your daisy chain paying your mother's bills. $223. Damn, what you cooking? Gotta eat. Like to cook everything down nice and slow. He's front runner for the job. He's lying. She's proud of him. Job pays $60,000 a year. He's typing the expense into his pixelated spreadsheet. Perpetually poor Darrell's debts rents 500 bucks. Imagine for a couch. Yeah, which took me two thirds of the movie to figure out that he does not have a room. Yeah, you saying that that's when I figured out he doesn't have a. This is your true man scepter. I thought he was just getting busy on the couch. Yeah, because he's getting busy on the couch. And then I'm wondering, you always get busy on the couch. And then turns out he does everything on the couch. Is this the Truman scepter award? Yeah, I just figured that out right out. The opposite of check off the gun. We just found out. Yeah. She the kids don't have to worry. Phone rings again. Twition office. He says Darrell's not with us anymore. He died. He killed my baby. He got involved with the whole East Coast, West Coast thing. And being that he's from Chicago, they both banged on him. Lewis Pinnock for his impression of his mom. And also 20 CB guys, the East Coast, West Coast thing. I cannot explain to you how much it gripped 20 CB culture. It was everywhere. So many references in everything cut to the Harlem blood bank. One donation per month sign. Where is Stratford? It's supposed to be Columbia. Okay. Columbia is uptown. Got it. Have you guys ever donated blood? Oh yeah, for sure. We used to donate all the time for money. We had a blood drive at high school. Blood drive. Yeah. I never did it for 50 bucks. We're about you get a cookie or some orange juice or a crispy cream donut, which you can trade with an unhoused gentleman for the paper. That's right. Same note to I mean, have you ever donated blood? No. And now we've got a montage of him doing various impressions. Sammy Davis, Jr. Now did he need to get permission from Tommy Davidson to do the Sammy Davis Jr. Junior, Jr. Yeah. All the juniors. No, but this is the horseman of recycled Wayans jokes. What do you mean? This one was 1998. So this is probably the origin of those jokes, right? No, no. They had a show called In Living Color that happened a couple years earlier. As a QD quite thick. All these impressions he does here are from Hryer Wayans projects. But he does invent Hawk Tua. Yes, he does. And he even spits on that thing. Oh, you gotta give him that Hawk Tua and spit on that thing. I don't get you. I think you gotta demonstrate. Hawk Tua. It's been on it. Super Daisy Chain, the dead man on campus and how to be a player. Because his name is Ishmael Ahmed Muhammad Hawk Tua. He eventually faints in line. Cut to the fertility clinic. He's donating sperm. Kid, he asked if he's familiar with the procedure. But do it since he was 12. Same note too, bro. The payment procedure. 50 bucks. Purple Cobra formula. $50 for procurement of the sperm. We asked this question. Mm-hmm. They use it and it works. Are you responsible legally? No, you're not. All right, I would do it. Sounds like you want me to pick delivery, man. Wow. Is that on Pluto TV? Oh, I wish. There's a check box when you do it, Zach. And they ask you, are you okay with the progeny one day tracking you down? Not because of any debt, but because they just want to know who their father was. Got it. You guys didn't like purple cobra formula, huh? Okay. Oh. Thought that was a good one. I didn't laugh on purpose because I'm going to do this thing where I'm not laughing at my own jokes anymore. I didn't even hear you say it. Oh, okay. But I would not have liked it. $50 for me to knock? Where do I sign up? That's my own note. That I like. Do you have any of those procurement aids? Oh, certainly dirty. Beaver hunt. Big butt. Damn. Bondage cheerleaders. No top-heavy magazine? Yeah, I was surprised. Amateur hour. Although, wait to look at this photograph. There is a top-heavy magazine in there. You just didn't notice. Why did you take a picture? He knows that I can't include that. Right. I can't put naked breasts on YouTube. There's one I can't go. I'm not talking about that one. There's another one that's going to fulfill top-heavy magazine. Look at this photograph. Where can I find it? Oh, I'm so glad you asked. We have a YouTube channel. Yes, sir. It's to the public of this photograph. The emergent sweaty and crumpled with four vials. Good for one more. Give him something really freaky. Oh, like some Siamese Bridget twins. Menaging a goat or something. Menaging a note. I mean a goat. He also walks past the room in a disembodied voice orgasm. So baby. Of course. Golden thumbs. Baby, you're so... Of course. That isn't a mean special. Yep. I loved it. I knew it. Loved it. Loved it. He tries to donate his hair to a wig place. Guy says he's back too soon, shows him some bush, and he'll throw in the ass hair for free. Comedy? Marlin dropping his pants. Horsemen. Oh my God. This guy's cheeks out the whole time. He's wearing the Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans that I had in college. I had a pair in blue and I had a pair in black. I'm like, oh, there he goes. Because I worked at the gap, had the gap carpenter jeans. Wigshop owner says it ain't that kind of party, man. A little loop to keep your hammer in there. You know. On the inside of the outside, Zach. Outside. Okay. Hammer on the outside. Cut to home. He's roommates with Matthew Lillard. He says landlord came by looking for Marlin's half of the rent. Must be nice having a... He sleeps on a couch. I forgot a whole room. That is not an equitable deal. Did you know it at this point? No. Now that you say half. Truman Scepter Award. That's my Truman Scepter. Lillard's got a lot of piercings, a lock necklace, and a hockey scholarship. And he has an X on his hand as part of his pledge, denying himself certain pleasures. Eating meat, drinking alcohol, sex. Sex. All forms. Marlin can't believe it. Without pain and deprivation, one can never experience true pleasure. So this is straight edge, especially with the X's. And I was literally watching an episode of Big Love, which is set in the Mormon world of Utah. And they talk about being straight edge and not eating meat. So it has to be SLC punk. It has to be the same. You think that this is all back to Mormon culture? I think he's in character from his work on SLC punk. And he showed up to set and they said, okay, go for it. Marlin told Matthew Lillard that you've been through a lot of phases. You went pre-med, then Republican. Buddhist freshman year. Tony Robbins tapes. And let's not forget your little bisexual stage. Well, that just lasted two hours. Well, two and a half. You tried watching Brad Pitt in an interview with a vampire and not feeling something. He's not wrong. Or Guy Pierce. Or internet cart. Or not rapid. Rapids not on that list. Charlie Sheen. Or Alex Baldwin. Three things are going on here. Number one, Guamidi. Number two, homophobia. And then three, two and a half hours, phobe. Marlin says to pick an obsession. Stay with it. New chiming sound is his Prince Albert. It makes a jingle. What's a Prince Albert piercing through my urethra chain to my scrotum? Oh, Cobra formula. It's jangling like jingle bells. It's nice. I don't think that's how that would sound. No, no, but that's what the Foley artist provided us with. Piercing is about pain and pleasure. He says Marlin has that inner pain, the hunger for success. When he gets it, that success. It'll be all the more sweet message. Marlin's working at the dining hall. Enter douchebag David Spade tells me he's running low on bacon bits. Thank you for the pork report. I said, is he wearing a fucking Letterman's jacket? I think it's a frat jacket. Oh, okay. But you're right. It doesn't have to ask for strat for to whatever. So yeah, maybe it is a letterman's jacket. We find out he's a varsity sailor. He is on the sailing team. Yeah. How do we know that he comes from a privileged background guys? Oh, he'll tell you. Your dad runs the third largest bank in Manhattan. Pop. They're going for the same job. And Spade says I'm the pace car in this employment 500 3.8 GPA varsity sailing Kappa house social chairman. We get a hilarious music drop is Marlin sees his crush Janice with a short spiky wig and this horrible hair. Is this Halle Berry inspired or are we not there yet? Horrible hair. Hold on brother. Yeah. You better watch yourself. I'm not recusing myself. That hair is terrible. I'm not recusing myself from being interested for two and a half hours. Zach, two and a half hours, two and a half minutes. It doesn't matter. And then he goes back. Oh, lookie, lookie. Daryl sees a cookie. He's got white splatter on his pants and Janice says, is that hidden valley? Or are you just happy to see me? That's a 20 CB joke. 100% time for an exposition commercial about smith baits. A premier investment firm junior analyst has a high GPA athletic achievement and ties to tradition a.k.a. Fratz. It's the stepping stone to greatness and the econ professor welcomes in Randall Tyson a.k.a. Rip Torn. Patsy's a whole land who says the room holds many memories. He locked quite a bit of nap time in the back row over there. Doc Rivers. Marlin gives the Doc Rivers special lab at David Spade. Save it. Golden dumpster moment. Five of them will be chosen as finalists. Then most ideal employee gets the job. Professor brings up a case study from last week. Markets up consumer spending and corporate profit. Margits are down. How would social planner remedy this? Econ jargon is a big horseman. David Spade says downsize the labor force that'll stimulate consumer spending with lower costs causing price cuts. This whole scene and movie reminded me of Richie Rich's class with Ben Stein. And I called David Spade Dick rich. Oh, are you talking about the class where they all have like executive desks? Huge desks. Ex-machine. Wow. I forgot about that. What would I do? Simple. I'd float a rumor that we're the object of a takeover bid. And as soon as our stock went up, I'd sell. That's not only unethical, Reginald. It's illegal. I'm only 12. I can't be held legally responsible. Good point. Marlin objects by saying, Ibonically speaking, that's whack. Ibonically. Ibonics. All 20CB. Yo, sir. Difference of opinion here. We can do without the yo-ing. There'll be a callback to that later. With Christian Bale. I knew you're going to say that. Of course. Why, why, why wouldn't I say it? That's a reference. Because you skipped over the lot. Yo. Excuse me, sir. Yo. What's up, man? They don't serve no malt liquor here. No malt liquor. All right. No. Aye. David Spade says, perhaps Darryl does have a special insight into the blue collar or should I say perpetually poor hair net mentality. Because he's still got his hair net on. Because he's working in the little cafeteria. He gives an example of a company in 1988 with their wages exceeding their profit margins. But instead of firing people, what they did was offered employee contracts with wage givebacks. Their employees spent 50% more than they did the previous year. What that proves is what the average Joe on the street already knows. The more money they have, the more they can spend. But Spade knows that Wicks Morton took out a $20 million loan from his dad's bank. Pop. From what I hear, from your dad. They're on the verge of defaulting. So what happens to your average working Joe when Wicks Morton goes down? I don't think they're going to end up in the checkout line. I think it's going to be in the unemployment line and the president of the company is going to be right there with them. Ebonically speaking, you don't know shit. Dare I say, you're out of your league. I don't know if this is a horseman because only happens a couple of times, but Spade gives sound business advice and Marlon doesn't throughout this movie. For example, if my company is struggling, why do I care if my employees can buy more of my shit? It's a great question. There's a great moral message in what Marlon is saying, but he's trying to make a business case that by giving them raises or whatever, they can spend more of whatever companies. Please clip in McIndonis with the Patti's dollars. Yeah. I'm proposing that we print our own curds. Okay. Make our own money? Yes. And we call it Patti's dollars. Now we distribute that out to people for free initially, and then they become customers and then they bring in new customers. And then once they're in, they have to use real dollars to buy Patti's dollars. That's exactly right. And that stimulates our own internal economy. How does a self-sustaining economy work? I don't understand how the U.S. economy works, much less a some sort of self-sustaining one. I don't understand how finances work. He's a douchebag, but David Spade's character in this movie is not a villain. He's the establishment. Sure. But Marlon is also going to be the establishment. He's not going to change the way he caught it. He's just trying to get in to help his family and everything. He just needs a job. He's got four. A really? Oh. David Spade's not this evil guy in the movie. He's just kind of a dick. He's a rich kid dick. Dick rich. He is entitlement, right? Entitlement is the villain here. Sure. He's entitled. The system is the villain. Yes. Are you sticking up for him? No, no, no. I'm sticking up for Lou Spinnock. The system. Got it. But also because of his entitlement, his systemic advantages, he uses it to fuck Marlon over. Or as David would say, to fuck Marlon. I don't know if he fucks Marlon with it though. He does. Does he? Just because he doesn't let him into his frat? He has to let him into his frat. He's doing it on purpose. Marlon's not getting on the hockey team because of David Spade. He's just at a disadvantage. That's true. So what we've established is he's not the villain. Eddie gives better business advice. Kind of deserves the job. He really does. Yeah. Plus his dad is a big time banker. Exactly. That's an advantage. Bring that money into the investment firm. Come on. What I'm saying is this is lazy writing. Okay. So I've been watching a lot of industry, which is a lot of financial jargon. You won't shut up about that show. That I don't understand, but it doesn't affect how I watch the show. And I think they were hoping that I would have a similar reaction here. Like, I don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Yeah. They're smart guys. They're econ majors. They must be right. They must know. Everything they say makes sense. Jargon cut to the hockey rink. Super Daisy chain from Van Wilder. Marlon is struggling with equipment. Coach tells them it's technically a rovic activity, but he's not qualified to play college level hockey. Marlon wants to be on the team. This is the tripping award for that's not how sports work. No, which by the way, I've been thinking about this. This is really the Teen Wolf to award for that's not how sports work. Yeah. That's a good point. They gave that my fucker scholarship crazy because his cousin who the college coach coached in a different sport and high school. That's right. It was like, oh, that one was amazing. Lazy writing. I need this time. Please coach. Look, I'm just a brother from the hood with a simple dream. Play hockey. Don't make me turn to drugs. Oh, Let's go. Lillard interrupts by hammering one of the teammates on the board. He's on your team. Just follow it through coach. Yeah. It's your time. Marlon asks the last time he had sex, he says, why? Just a little jumpy. That's why. Go on. He has to learn to talk to the coach. He needs a sport or he's not going to get this my faith's job and little talk to him. Marlon physical comedy is he picks up all the gear and he's got a stick in his mouth and he's scooching on the ice and the buzzer sounds. The whole team's lined up. But now he's in goalie pads. Golly. They light his ass up and we get some way in recycle joke. The high pits. Yelp. Absolutely. Flopping around whimpering. They all start shooting at him like Goldberg. That is the one position you could probably find a way. Yeah. If you don't know shit about shit, the hardest one. How's it hard? You just sit there. If you're not a hockey player, you don't have to do a lot of skating. You don't have to do a lot of stick work. It's skill in terms of like vision and knowing how to time things and everything and seeing what's in front of you. But if you played a sport, there's something coming at you. All you got to do is swat it down or catch it. I'm not saying it's easy, maze. I'm just saying out of all the things to do on the hockey ring, that's got to be the easiest as an entry level person. Sure. Lowest barrier to entry, highest barrier of mastery. Not saying you could go play college hockey, but no, I'm saying that maze could absolutely play. All you have to do lie down. It's too tall. Exactly. That's why he lies down and then he covers all things. Well, I learned from the mighty ducks that I don't need to be able to skate as long as I can clap it harder than anybody else. So I'm so sick of you. You've spoken this fucking hookah. Let me tell you what picking up trash around campus. Lilard's rollerblading by with the new piercing. He pierced his apartment key to his navel because he kept losing it. Now it's dangling by a chain. I call it my key to happiness. Marlon calls him a freak show. Lilard says the landlord called again. Marlon will get the rent. Lilard says Marlon may not have faith in fate, but fate has faith in him. Message. And now we see a flyer for a free seminar. Dr. Weedon earn extra money. How much money? They won't tell you. Cut to the first round of human testing for protocol 563, a new drug. Federal regulations require her to list all the side effects of the experiment. Please listen carefully. This drug has not been shown to be toxic in rats and should be similarly non-toxic in human beings, theoretically. Potential side effects may include nausea, insomnia, headaches, flaking of the scalp, intestinal cramping, constipation, rectal, burning, rectal itching, rectal swelling, and dizziness. Everyone in the room slowly leaves while Marlon nods off, snores, and drools like a mean, taking a test. Same note too. Sir. Yes. Did you hear me? Yeah, rectal itching, no problem. And you are willing to participate? It's paying, right? I love how there's a guy who gets up before she even says what the side effects are. Dave Yeager Award. Get something walks out. A lot of Dave Yeagers in the scene. That's a hot sauce your blocking is to make the pass and then say the line. Yeah. Back to the glowing green mouse, Dr. Weedon holds up a model of the drug designed to increase the senses far beyond a human being. What are you saying? I'll be able to see better? Like an eagle. How about my hearing? Ultrasonic. Taste, smell, and feel into. Five senses will be magnified 10 times over. Wow. Super senses. Holding up a glowing neon green bottle. This is the drug. The ooze. How he takes it as of the utmost importance. Exactly six cc's every day injected right into the buttocks. Gives him a pamphlet. How much do I get paid? Take it when serotonin levels are lowest right before bed. How much do I get paid? If and when your senses become heightened, initial phase disorienting and disturbing, deep breathing may help. Any questions? How much do I get paid? Since he's the only person when the experiment is over $3,000. $3,000. You can inject me with the Ebola virus. Reference. 20 CB from the trailer and recycled Wayne's joke. Absolutely. The Ebola virus was a big one on the Wayne's brother show. So were they going to split that 3000 with however many people agreed to the trial? Yeah. So everyone's going to get like 300. Yeah. That's about right. To inject yourself with neon drugs. Well, you know what, man? It's a movie in the Ronald McDonald. Come on. And then he's not satisfied with the Ebola virus joke. No. He doubles back, comes in the door. I'm not saying it. Dr. $3,000. I'm going to be your little outbreak monkey. Cut the litter, clean it out the booze bottles and the bongs from the apartment. Marlon Assevi is going to party at Rick James house. Reference. Little winter cleaning, purifying. Me, I'm going there. He little pigs smoke a little crack, masturbate a little bit. Can you join me? All I'm doing tonight is soaking little limp Timmy and some rubbing alcohol. Turns out that Prince Alba was a bad idea. Yeah. I could have told you that one. This was funny. I liked it. Made me think of grandpa. I want bacon. I want my poke. Marlon thinks his game on the ice is improving. Lillard doesn't want to hurt his feelings. Sometimes when it comes to hockey, people just suck. Lillard is unzipping a million cargo pockets. He's got so many looking for the key. And then he keeps talking. He sucked the way that fat kids or old people might suck. I mean, you suck. Then he finds it on his belly button. You really suck. Calls him a hoser. Then Marlon rips the key off through his skin. Lillard staggers and falls down because it hurts so bad. He tells him the only reason I'm doing hockey or joining this stupid frat is because I needed it for the job. And I said, what frat? Oh, well, cut to the frat. Maybe they switched the scenes around a little bit. Marlon is hypnotized by a girl dancing in the middle of the floor. It's Lorraine. Everyone is hypnotized by this woman. It's a circle. Maybe I need to clip the song. The freak brothers. Do you want to freak? It comes back later in this movie. It does. She picks Marlon out of the crowd and dances up on him. She's both dancing and talking like a stripper. You like that? Want to see more of this later? He's ass off bing horny. Popping your titties up and down and short nerve with glasses walks by and Marlon begs to be pledged. Look, you can beat me, spank me brand inside of my crack. Oh, guess who overhears him? It's Janice. From the cafeteria. She came down the stairs and overheard the wrong part and she says, excuse me. And I said, that's just like my mom coming up the stairs. And that's what I started thinking. Hold up. Is this movie just me? Is this my origin story? Zach Harper, dead man on campus. Oh, no, I was just, um, I'm high. You're high. Well, that would explain it. No, I'm not high as in, you know, high. I'm mean highs and hello. How are you? Hi, Darrell. Hey, I was wondering if maybe, you know, me and you could let me guess. Maybe we could get together a little later, get to know each other a little better of our glass of something with alcohol in it. If you don't drink, we could have a you or something. Janice. Could I call you? Maybe. David Spade recognizes Marlon rushing as a senior. It's fraternity, not frat. You wouldn't call your country a whoa. Oh, not since the Bush years, 20 TV, but then I was like, am I too soon? Save note to Spade those ways here. You see what you want and you go after it. And I like that, but we're not here for you to put on your resume so you can get the smith baits job. He says, Oh, I get it. You're here. So you put on your resume. You know what I'm saying, brother? And he gets stonewalled. That was great. Right. So that's about the lights can dude. He's not having it. And Spade says Thomas class president. Still can't get a hang of the whole bad beans. Good thing. Doesn't make sense to him. Golden dubster. I laughed at that shit. He's sitting on the couch with these two gorgeous, handsome, frat guys. And one of them is the class president and the other one's the captain of the wrestling team and they don't talk. Spade says that you're too good for us. You're too cool. We're a bunch of nerds. He says bottom line is you're an MTV video. Everybody say, Hey, ho. And we're VH one on James Taylor weekend. Golden dumpster, man. One ECB. Remember when VH one was the lame channel that had James, whatever weekends? James, whatever weekends to America's. We're a bunch of phonies, but you're keeping it real. Don't let us ruin that. Keep it real. All in starts a protest. You're just not Kappa material. He whistles and points to the door. Everyone laughs. Dock brothers press conference. And they sing song. A Mets game. Clip the Simpsons. Yep. We had the tear. Yes. Thanks strawberry. We won home run homer. Daryl Daryl Daryl Daryl. Children. That's not very nice. Mom, they're professional athletes. They're used to this sort of thing. It rolls right off their backs. While it is sad as he leaves, he's back home, sees the drug glowing in his bag. He pulls six CCs. Can't get no worse than this. And he immediately becomes a Ninja Turtle. Loves pizza. Econ tests counts heavily towards midterm grade, but then later we'll find out that it was the final or some shit. I don't know. Yeah. Marlon squinting in class. He sniffs. Smells everything. He leans over to Dana Gordon with some horrible 20 CB bangs. I liked it. I like her. Excuse me. Somebody isn't zestfully clean this morning. Reference screw you. I'm clean. He smells himself. It's him. He licks his hands, wipes his pits. Comedy. Yeah. Professor taps an empire state building model on his desk and it hits Marlon like a sledgehammer. Too loud. One hour to complete the exam. Every pencil, watch tick, guy sucking his gums. Everything. Light catches a girl's necklace and blinds him. An eraser squeaks. Too loud. Spade tells him to pull over to the nervous breakdown lane. Wheezy Jefferson. Smells the dude's bad breath. We get a lot of fisheye lens. Marlon vision. Fisheye lens as Marlon continues to move his face around. Would you all just cut the shit? Starts calling people out one at a time and Professor warns him about the outburst. I'm sorry, Professor. That was my Tourette syndrome. Piss off me. I'm on fire. I just can't help. Michael Jackson's a Puerto Rican. OJ's on welfare. I see him on the line. I just can't help. You know I ain't Bob Hall. Dennis Romney got a koochie. I just really can't help. All of these are recycled jokes. There's an episode. I try to find it. It's not online without paying for it. Season three episode six of The Wayans Brothers where Marlon pretends to be hard on his luck. He writes into his talk show because it's like a make-a-wish thing. So they come to visit his apartment and so Pops is wearing a wig and just kind of acting crazy in the corner. He says a bunch of things and there's some outtakes to. Unfortunately, I could not find the clip. Oh yeah. Well Pops is always mortin' out all kinds of crazy things. Michael Jackson is a Puerto Rican. Really? OJ hand him me a black bag. Dennis Rodman has a G spot. Could we just take the picture and get out of here? Cut to Marlon telling Dr. Whedon he failed his test. His dream is gone and okay. The ass itching comedy. Well, they did warn us about this. It goes on for a while. Define a while. Like a couple seconds? The entire scene. Oh okay. But it never comes back then. It never comes back. It's just this scene. No, it's gonna come back. I promise you. Doc shines the light. We get a CGI laser. He's grinding on the chair. He drops his pants. He wants to sue. Doc says the pain will pass. The neural pathways are adjusting. He's scraping his ass on the table. Yes, Doc, to use his nice nails. He bends over. Doc says to gain control over your senses, you have to exercise them. He tells them to concentrate. Focus will gain control over his super senses. I've got to concentrate. Concentrate. I've got to concentrate. Concentrate. Echo. Echo. Now batting. Marlon borrows some beaker brushes to dig in his ass. The Lord rushing out the door. Stop short. What's the matter? Got a snag. Prince Albert formula. He still has it? Yeah. He can't take that out. Adjust himself. Jinkling noises. Marlon calls him weird. I'm weird. Cut to Marlon. He's got shades on nose plugs, cotton balls in his mouth. Comedy. Ear muffs. Marlon's not even a finalist for smith baits. The Lord can't understand him. I'm not even a finalist for smith baits. Marlon's worried about telling his mom and Lillard. Apologizes to him. Now he's trying to adjust his senses freaking out from the city sounds, baby crying, birds chirping, bells ringing. It takes him like a week or so to get a hang of this. One deep breath does it. Now he's working on his supervision. And that means he squints and then it zooms in on his thumb print. So what does he use that power for immediately? He's got to stare at a girl's ass. Nice roundie. And then turn into the tripping scene with the eggs and mime that he's licking it. Kisses the right cheek, kisses the left cheek. I did like that when we zoom in on the nice roundie with a fisheye lens, by the way, falling her down the street. Of course. Marlon vision. We get Godzilla thudding noises that she takes every step. How else would we know that he's experiencing Marlon vision without the fisheye? Tell that to your photographer. I'll tell it to them. You're going to say potacky. Potassa. Potassa. Cut to smith baits hosting a banquet for their five finalists. Holy shit, the opulence at this thing, man. Marlon is catering. And he overhears two gay caterers flirting. It looks so sexy in that bow tie. Do you want to come on over after? Oh, that'd be great. I just want to lick you up and down. Shhh. I'll tie you to the bed post. I'll beat the shit out of you with my black leather whip. Ah, homophobia. Jeff calls him over because you eat this kind of crap, right? And wants him to test the sweetness. He's really enjoying it. Yeah. He's going in like Teddy Rex licking his suckers. Marlon takes the gay waiters tables and says he has four and six instead to which the waiter says, no, I have to toss more salads. Ah, homophobia. Comedy. That was the entire reason for having gay caterers. What was that joke? I got something here. What if we start calling it homophobia? Ooh, ah, homophobia. Comedy and homophobia. Now it sounds like I'm scared of falling into a coma. Well, you should be. That's tough. You don't know what those gay servers are going to do. Oh, but it worked out so well for Stevens to go. Super charged. No, I'm going to let him live in that awash in his hookah smoke. He introduced himself to rip tour and remembers him from econ. Marlon is all over spade as he's asked by rip about the current state of the market. Super hearing and site so he can eavesdrop on their conversation. Shimada technology spades bullshitting. What's your mother you Marlon brings him another salad and says, here's another salad. I got this for you. Then they start talking about buying doh bill publishing, setting the trend for IBOs. When he says we were just talking about Shimada, Marlon says, get out of here. And that is recycled Wayans humor. Absolutely. Straight from the Wayans brother. They used to do that shit constantly says Shimada is going to drop precipitously in the fourth quarter. Hell's rip economics is my life. Read in the papers Japanese firm with a new chip twice as fast and cheap. Shimada is carrying debt from a buyout. Not going to make it jargon jargon jargon. He does know shit. Advise them to sell and sell fast. Guess what? Riparty has that's right. That's why you a genius. I said ask for butter without salt calls him a bright young man. Apparently there's a gay joke about hiding the butter. I didn't understand. Maybe me can explain to us. I did like this joke where David Spade wants some wine doesn't care. Just go and Marlon says night train it is 20 CB. Perpetually poor Darrell. He goes back in the kitchen and he finds a Wall Street Journal naturally sitting there. Puts the paper out right in the bus station. Yeah, that allows him with his super sight to read all the stocks. And he does his whole thing where he says name a stock and he can tell them how the stock is doing. Quiz me on the share price which is like quiz me. Quiz me on what the bull's record is today. Who cares? It's like a black guy. But I popped because did you see what Rip Torn was reading the stock prices off of this device that reminded me of Bill Bellamy's organizer? That's what I thought of as well. It's the exact same. It's a repeat offender the Casio executive B O S S. Wow. We're on the list. I wish I knew how to quit you instead of a pussy folder. You had a stock folder. Well, you don't know he might have had both. He does. He dips in the chocolate as we find out later. Oh, spoiler uses super sight to read the paper across the room. Am I right? They keep naming companies. A woman blocks the sight line so he hits her in the head with a roll. The kid is nice. Huh. And Rip wonders how he memorized it all. He says it's kind of like your wife's bra size. If you love it, you'll remember it. Sure. What? Hawn Tiger. And so he quizzes rip 36 and see the cackle and shake hands. Big titties cut the later. Rip is impressed. Once know how he didn't qualify. He's been working four jobs just to pay his tuition. Just blew his final exam and rip wonders. Why should such a hard worker be punished? It's a good point. I feel like bending the rules here and it like Beckham. Bellweather agrees. He's qualified. They congratulate Marlin. He's the sixth finalist. Wow. So he's the sixth man. That's crazy. No. No, I like that. What do you mean? No, bad movie. That's good. Maze. No, I don't like it. Future servo. Please. Let's not do that one. We're at the way. Mabludo TV. Zach. So that's true. Yeah. We don't really have a choice promises. They won't regret this and spades. Protostations are ignored at the lab. He's nailing the eye test even reads the address of the chart at the bottom. No. So there's a jelly smudge on the chart and he sniffs the air strawberry. No frills brand. Something real cheap. Perpetually poor Darrell experiments working. No human has experienced this level of sensory weed and reminds him not to exceed the dosage and he tells on the bio boat named live forever. Marlin can't run a lot of tests today. He's late. Just hook me up with my drugs says the drug is the best thing that ever happened to him on top of the world. Doc understands. He feels powerful. Just remember power is a drug. All its own message. That's right. Be careful. Cut to Marlin at the frat house party spade calls him the little engine that could but says this is invite only no invitey. So good nighty kicks him out banters about the job ripping bellwether there. They love him. Think you should be pledging spade disagrees spade tries to cock block. They sit on the board and endow it. So they've earned some input. Rip loudly announces to the whole party holds a vote. Everyone votes yes. The eyes have it. He's in David's Bay coward Marlin hears Janice and Tonya laughing about baby's got back. They head into the bathroom. Oh boy this scene uses his super hearing to ease drop about Janice's men problems. She wants a respectful intelligent confident without being full of himself guy and Tonya is loudly talking about the cold toilet seat while taking a nasty shit. Everybody wants to be the big man on campus. Nobody wants to be the real man on campus message and also Zach Morris wants someone to be the dead man on campus preferably his roommate fish islands on Marlin smelling the dump smells like something crawled up inside you and died. Janice feels like having standards is a curse. We're not going to get a hacky corn joke. Are we corn? I remember eating no corn. She also says I tell you I'm full of something right now. I left you cannot possibly like this scene girl. I feel like I just gave birth. You have to have higher standards than this somebody smack its ass. At first I didn't like it. I was like OK this is gross but she sells her lines are funny. I like her enthusiasm on somebody smack its ass as she exits the stall. Yeah. The only time I've ever found literal toilet humor funny is battle shits in Harold and Kumar. Oh awesome powers who does number two work for. They're not actually shitting. Oh that's a good point. I would say the only time I found it funny was dumb and dumber that to yeah that bridges with the whistle whistle against every single time this was funny. They come out laughing Janice is surprised to see Marlin impressed introduces Tanya Tanya extends her hand and Marlin avoids it turns it into a Muslim fist Chaka Khan. She'll leave them alone. You're not here for me. Are you because I'm not worth the humiliation these guys are going to is that a pledge pin. Where'd you get that he talks about being persistent in your passions then says she smells good as hell puts his nose right on her neck. Oak might be Eddie Murphy powers getting his nipple licked vanilla how the forwardness of the character to start there go right in if you had super sent could you identify all the different sense I wouldn't even know yes because I have super sent idiot. No no I can smell the different things. I don't know that that's what oak smells like for example you would know I would automatically know you have super sent I can do it now. I have to wait for you to say that I'm not going to recuse myself from showing it. I get what you're going for and there's a way more egregious moment coming up in regards to that. Okay as he offers to walk her home the other hot black girl who apparently exclusively hangs out of this fret all of them do that's where everyone goes bumps into him shoulder checks him and says good night and you guys know what that means right that means she was a 20 CB girl touches you. She wants to play. Why are you looking away from the camera fucking coward. He doesn't want to laugh at his own joke. Don't he's having so hard right now. Good joke. He loves laughing at his own joke. It's a good joke. It's a good joke. God damn it. I got to get better at delivering this shit so that laughing 301 episodes. You could have just stuck with the first sentence the next 300 he's gonna get it. He doesn't care about the fret wants a job help his family exposition. He pulls it out of the way of a biker so they can accidentally get close and talks about being a pop to his siblings which opens the door for her to talk about her pop daddy lazy right it because he's like I've always been like a father to my sisters and brothers and she goes yeah my father's pushing me to take law courses what natural segue. Yes it is lazy right but also Zach I know you've been on enough dates with women who just want to talk about themselves and not listening at all they don't give a shit I'm not saying it's wrong it's just lazy right it is lazy because I don't think they thought about it like that she loves her 20th century poets class willards in her class you know the pin cushion kid he starts to the air finds a rose in a wheelbarrow gives her the trash rose sometimes you find the most amazing things in the most unexpected places message that's trash yeah you give her trash nobody with my man from your company with the wheelbarrow where you take pictures of my wheelbarrow what no are you the guy that's been saying I'm not allowed to have a wheelbarrow in the office. No why would anybody care it never goes outside it's an inside will bear. I could understand it but the outdoor will bear that's dangerous that's disgusting but it's not they're back in her apartment building no kissing on the first date rule. Oh so this was a date no just planning ahead Cobra formula he wants to know he's not just trying to get into panties I mean I'm pretty sure they're really nice panties just want to take it slow ask about dinners his place he'll call she'll answer kiss on the cheek and then the 20 CB techno soundtrack picks up and the vibes are off yeah Marlon does the Charlie Chaplin heel click which ladies and gentlemen recycled Wayne's humor absolutely he's been doing that literally for a decade at that point well it's trying not to jack it to dirty magazine with the cover girl Marilyn star she's a shaved slit prime cut slut and and she's our publisher. What I love that fine print dot dot dot and she's our publisher Ct five taglines but also this is me prepping for Cinefolk all right got to watch this movie take my notes and then it's my phone rather than the magazine but he cuts up he walks to the bathroom to jack it and he walks right in on Marlon injecting himself Marlon close the door on him just taking special medicine Lillard with the corneas clutching at his heart ass off thanks Darrell's a junkie junkie God no I laugh cut the hockey practice he's in pads again been practicing once another chance given one good reason why I should why is he doing the hockey he's already a finalist now because he thinks he's going to win if he gets all these things on his resume for some reason a player fired a puck right at their coach's face and he caught it to save him okay wait hold on do we have the same note to this is a incredible combination the guy is hitting the clap bomb at the bench like Fulton shooting pucks into the street on cyclop on in mighty ducks and then Marlon snags it out of the air saves his coach like where is at the champ manage right Zach you had that I didn't have the first part but I had the chip part okay I had clap bomb later on intro holy mother of crap that's all coach needs Marlon's in gold doing kung fu they start the firing squad again and Marlon blocks everything gong all of us gone the whole thing and recycled Wayne's humor and I've got a little bonus CT five for you guys right here CT five goalies were at that point we've got enough hockey movies under our belt dead last oh oh oh oh哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎! to be number three. I'll bump regular Daryl off. No, they didn't want the fucking whole thing, but Paul Blart did the eye opening. That's why he's on the list. That's why he's number one Rambo. Next thing you know, he's playing in a game and we've got radio play by play backs to rink Panthers opening their season against Brown stone. You only questions are how badly will they stink? How consistently will they stink and will they ever not stink? Greg Grunberg, young Greg Gunberg, Marlin is the first African American to play for Stratford. Have you established what the opposite of a Sean Aston is? We did, but I keep forgetting what it is because it doesn't happen enough. Maybe it's the Stratford goalie award, both Janice and the hot girl are in the stands for him. And she's yelling go baby. And I'm like, when did they start dating in order for him to be baby? She's in. They just fucking met. There's your clip. Zack. Come on. Who wants me? Baby? Who wants to meet baby? Baby's home. Oh, what? What the hell is this? Baby's home. Marlin gets a stop and another clap bomb from Lillard. More saves from Marlin. Nobody knows who he is. Final push and another save by Marlin Stratford wins. Janice loves it. The announcer yells. After they score, Grunberg says that it's the first time in his life that they've had the lead in the play by play guy is hitting a flask on the air. What's the opposite of the, what the fuck's his name? I denigled the coach of the Hawks, the pop collar award smith Bates building on Wall Street. Marlin proudly walks in. He's eavesdropping and you can tell because he's wiggling his ears. Can you guys wiggle your ears? No, I can. Great audio podcast. No, well, I'm, I don't think I did it listening to Rip and spade interfacing. Marlin says the CEO of that company is known for bluffing to drive up stock price and Marlin tells Rip he's last on the list, but would do anything to get the position. Anything says playing hockey and becoming a cap of helps, but they have high expectations. Marlin will match and exceed five days until final decision. Bellwether wants to spend quality time with each candidate. So Rip Torn gives Marlin floor seats for the next game Friday night. That's not an easy ticket. No. And Arlo Vickers because from Vickers mining is coming, might be a client. So impress him. Say no more. No problem. Cut to dinner with Janice. This is the Sean ass in right here. Cause she was at the game. I'd assumed, Oh, they're fast forwarding because this relationship is moving along. They've already had dinner. Yeah. No, this is the dinner that the other night he said, let's have dinner. My place. Janice calls it the best meal she's ever had. And he says cooking is all about balancing taste, smell, texture, color, consistency, flavor. It's a cat of magic. No fucking chance that, cause you can taste now and smell, you can cook and touch and afford ingredients. Well, that's the part where that's a good for. Propetually poor Darrell. PPD. Janice says, is there anything you can't do? Take my eyes off of you. Good line. Got him. There's got to be a version of comedy that's for romance. I just want romance. Okay. So this makes my next note makes sense. Now that I've had the Scepter award, they go to the couch and I said, take her to the bedroom. Don't have one. I guess he did. He did. And he hears Lillard watching hockey in his room. Now Lillard's reading a poem because that poetry class exposition. Marlon starts plagiarizing and quotes Langston Hughes to her, but Cyrano to four check gets distracted by the hockey and blurts out score. And that works. Janice is in the line right before he says, look too hard and it will hurt your eyes because the way Lillard and I laugh, golden dubs. This works. She starts kissing him. He immediately comes immediately. He's extremely sensitive. This is me at the strip club, but I mean this is a new way in stroke, right? Nope. Nope. Recycled way in humor. This is from don't be a menace. That's right. Repeat offender and there I say it. Sean did it better. Oh, for sure. He says there. You're the best. She says you've got to be kidding. Cut to the fertility clinic. He's got a water cooler jug. Ask how much he'll get for filling that up. Kidding's reaction is great. Make you do more. She's ass off, but this one inner cut joke gets a 90, but it's 10 seconds. Not get to 90 every minute counts. Every second counts. Now he's bringing Janice home to meet his mom and sibling surprise already. I met at the cafeteria. He talks to the first time at the frat house, walks her home from the front house a day later. The next day he plays in the hockey game. The next night she goes to dinner and the next day after that they're having dinner with his mom. This is all going very fast after he told her at her apartment, I don't want to move too fast. Little bro Steve tells Marlon to watch his back. Winks and blows a kiss at Janice. Mama gets a good look at Janice and Marlon smells menthols on his oldest brother's breath, holds a pack of generically labeled cigarettes out of his pocket. This 10 year old is smoking menthols. Mama asks if Janice is gifted then cuts her off because Darryl needs a gifted woman. He's the smartest child in his high school class except for that Korean girl. What was her name? That op you got to hit that gong because Marlon says that makes it worse. This was so lazy. Tell Steve he has a magic kiss. It's a kind of magic. Money is. I'll make you a deal. What kind of a deal? Says again, a quarter for every eight he gets then goes to a dollar. Man, you're an economics major. Hey, you heard of inflation? 21st century, man. He gives his mom some cash. She tells Janice whenever she gets angry about their daddy leaving. She remembers what he left behind. I said, ah, everybody smiles. Heartwarming moment and weird techno bass music. That's right. That's the mood. Marlon's about to shoot up neon green into his ass and Lillard is lurking. Ask about the medicine. Marlon starts raving. He's focused. Things are great. You act like you're invincible. That medicine doesn't make you a different person. You're still the same old Darryl times two. A double dose won't kill me. What? Why would he? Why would your dad? Good point. Yeah. He literally talked about how good it is. Why fuck with it? Why would you dad? Everything's perfect, but we need a third act setback guys. Oh yeah. Here we go. And Lillard pulls out a is my friend a junkie pamphlet. I left. This is the buddy comedy that Wikipedia is talking about. Yes. Good buddy. I thought where we were going with this was Lillard was then going to take it for hockey. Then Marlon wouldn't have anymore withdrawals. And now he's got to try to get by on his regular skills. The fake is way through like Teen Wolf. Yeah. This Zach is what that one listener really appreciates about Cinephobes. He we just did rewrite on this movie and that's what he comes for. Don't get him pissed off again. Please stop listening. Not one person. Please stop listening. You don't like the jokes. You're free for your intro to film class. He's not here for the comaphobe joke I made. It doesn't sound great. Please stop listening is what Marlon's about to do. The alarm goes off and this is when it's absolutely confirmed that he does not have a room because he wakes up on the couch. I love that every time Matthew Lillard has to make a phone call he goes to the payphone across the street. His body doesn't work so good now and he's flopping around like a bingo. Lillard finds him face planted on the ground and goes to the phone booth. He's wearing a scrotum poles shirt. That was interesting. Look at this photograph. Doc asks if he exceeded the dosage. Marlon denies it. What am I stupid. Yes I did. I did. Go Mady. What were you thinking. Doc has to generate all new data now and what. No to hell with your data. What is my problem. Load of serotonin desensitizes receptors neuroplasticity of his brain is compensated by allowing you to use only four of your senses at a time. Uh huh. Science jargon. Then we get some tactical redundancy displaying what that would mean. Marlon is sitting calmly accepting this information. Right. I mean you fool. I'm not kinds of reactions blinking like a bingo all the time. The sense that he can't do will constantly switch and when will it switch for comedy purposes. Wouldn't you if I need to pay attention with someone saying I'll close my eyes. But no. How do you fix it. Can't. It's got to pass through your system. You'll know when it's gone. It'll only take three days which of course will decide his life. I suggest you stay in bed competition on Monday. Oh God. This is like a bad dream. Doc says he's highly unstable. I'm pretty sure what you're saying would make a whole lot more sense if I could hear you because he can't hear any leaves. Time for the next game. The Mavericks. They're sitting behind the bench. Did some homework. They spliced together two different games when they're warming up. They're playing against the Timberwolves. The wolves. But then the game footage we get is against the Mavericks. I identified several of the players. The way I found out that this was not the Mavericks in that the warming up here is because Patrick Ewing is in uniform and is messing around out there. But in the Mavericks game he is a DNP. I have the box score by the way. Oh the final score. Nick 79 Mavericks 67. Jesus Christ. This is what they pine for. Oh it sucks. I will miss the 90s. The 90s were the best basketball. 79 is 67. The Mavericks were led by Dennis Scott 3D who had 18 points. Zach your favorite Robert Pack. Oh Pac-Man 11 points seven rebounds five assists on two of nine shooting. Meanwhile for the Knicks Alan Houston 19 points on eight of 20 shooting. This is the best shooter that we had to offer. Larry Johnson chipped in with 18 and eight Chris Mills. Oh four points on two of 15 shooting but 10 boards. Jeff Garland is Arlo Vickers. They sit him next to Marlon. Holy shit. He's got hair. Yeah. Why would they sit him next to Marlon if they're trying to get this guy as a client. Jeff wants to get some beers but Marlon can't hear shit. This is not Madison Square Garden by the way. No way. A high school gym at best. Maybe. Oh no it's the national anthem and Marlon can't hear so he stands up and turns around and he's shouting for beers and he goes cocoa pre 9 11. It wouldn't have been a big deal that he was trying to order beers. Well hold on. No because Mahmoud at the roof was three years before this. There's a difference. We're talking fan in the stands paying customer gets to do whatever they want. Speaking of customers there are no less than nine people in the background who have glasses on. I don't know why it threw me off. Well they have poor eyesight when Marlon is shaking hands with Jeff Garland ass off to the old white man behind them. Try to see and he gets annoyed at these people standing in front of him which is funny because again extras are not allowed to talk by wool. That's right. Basically this dude had his own little movie happening in the background. Good for him. He doesn't understand why everybody's standing up and Garland likes it. He has a pulse. Yeah. It's already the fourth quarter. Marlon's coming back with beers. He can't see. Take him that whole time. He bumps his way onto the bench sloshing beers around. Garland loves it. Don't tell me. Nick's a losing. Man they suck. That Patrick Ewing boy. He's a bum. I mean seven ten and can't make an easy layer. That is a reference ladies and gentlemen. Their talk is specifically about the 1995 Eastern Conference semi-finals game seven against the Indiana Pacers. Patrick Ewing has to make a finger all he misses it. That's just the waist of height. You seen Patrick Ewing's got milk conversion. Man got milk. I had milk. I seen Patrick Ewing's ugly ass drinking it. He's making brother lactose intolerant. He looks like a Haitian Sasquatch. Jamaican. Jamaican. Bill Goire. It's Patrick Ewing. Oh my god. He gets his sight back. He's sitting next to him. Ewing picks him up and tosses him onto the court. This is my question. How far do you think Stephen Adams could throw a regular person? Pretty far. If he's in front of the bench like Ewing was. He can get him to the key. I think he's clearing the paint. Maybe clear on to the other side of the lane. Fogger first swarm and Marlon gas from the ground. Still ugly motherfucker. Cut to the limo with ripping Marlon limo through Times Square like the beginning of Eddie. How bad did I do? Well, Vickers is going to sign the papers tomorrow. He's going to sign. You're going to get the account. You don't look happy. If Arlo Vickers weren't one quarter man, three quarters pig, you'd be gone. See you Sunday at the hockey game. I expect for your sake, you'll be at your best. I got to be good. I'm playing varsity hockey man. Ain't that enough? I'm a D one athlete or whatever division they're in. That's the end of the scene, right? We're not going to get some hacky comedy there. Now we need some more hacky comedy. Come on now. Oh ripfarts. And then he says, don't worry about it. Can't smell a thing. Can't smell a thing. The fine ass black woman shows up at Marlon's apartment and Lillard thinks she's pusher lady. That's funny. I laughed at that. He runs the pay phone. She's been watching him likes what he sees. You get exposition that she's Janice's sorority sister. You know Janice, right? My girlfriend Janice. I know her. He's losing his hearing. She wants to listen to music, drink wine, get to know each other, you know, get our groove on. She says, I'd like to get out of these clothes and into you. That's not how that works. Did you see the promo for my mama told me Patreon? David Boris says, get your penis out of your wife and get that pussy out of your side piece. Yeah, out of it. Into your. I've never had sex before. That's what I thought of. Absolutely. Marlon misunderstands. They smack who's hoe. Excuse me. Sushi. I don't know. Doesn't know why he's tripping. She's the bomb can have any man. Zach, at the beginning of this movie, you asked is David Spade the bad guy. This is the part where Marlon's kind of a bad guy that first he's like, Oh, I can't, you know, my girl, which by the way, it's pretty quick. But eventually he just gives in and starts making out. It doesn't take much to be fair, though, who among us can resist the sound of the Freak Brothers singing. Do you want to freak? That tail is all this time. Freak. His hearing comes back, tells Lorraine she's got to go. She'll go when she's done. And he goes blind. And she kisses him. I don't know how much thing I need to have sex. He's fumbling around and gets lost from the middle of his living room to the couch, which is his bedroom and ends up at a desk and grabs a stapler and she goes, Oh, freaky. And then opens her shirt and says, you like these popos in his face. Yes, it's nice. You make him yourself. Oh, silly. I had a doctor do them for me. Sight comes back. Wow. He calls it a mighty fine physician. She says, touch him. His hands don't work and he's slapping his hand at them. Oh, you like it rough. And then I did like this. At one point he kind of rags his limp hand across and says, that's different. Yeah. I thought that was funny. I actually left it there. The only thing in this scene I left out his tongue stops working and goes numb. His mouth is asleep. Let me wake it up. Pushes him back. The couch folds down aggressively. He's flopping around, smacking her. So it's his bed. He thinks it's his first time. He starts rambling. She shushes him, thinks it's sexy. Always remember your first. She reaches in his pants and gets upset that little homie is asleep. He starts slapping at his crotch. She's leaving. Finally comes back as he slapped himself and then he hurts himself. Well, she says, I thought you liked women. I love women. Jess shows up as Lorraine leaves. She says, good luck to Janice. This might be my golden dubster. She walks in and she says exactly like Charlie Day and how our bosses too. Really? Really? You don't mean with that piece of trash. He says he didn't do anything. He couldn't even get it up. That's not what you say. She kicks him in the junk walks out. Also he did a lot. Lillard calls in his hippie, dippy friends, thinks Marlon has OD'd. No dog. Don't leave us dog. Don't you go down that tunnel. Ass off. Loose pinnock. The pulp fiction ripoff down to casting someone who kind of looks like Eric Stoltz. Kind of. Yeah. Pupils are dilated. Don't puke and choke on barf. Then the girl chimes in back up. Okay. He's going to shit on himself. Golden dubster. Go to dubster. But also Matthew Lillard's facial processing of this. Yeah. Epinephrine shot straight to the heart. Only way. And as they rear the needle back, Marlon screams, flash to later Marlon's worried. People are going to think he's a smack head. Lillard corrects him to addict. 21st century, man. Hmm. Thinks he should respect the problem. Hey, Oh, is he Canadian after all this? Yeah. Yeah. That's my point. I'm like, is he Canadian? He's got a Canadian flag. He plays hockey. I didn't see the Canadian flag. It's on his door. Exposition about experimental medicine. That and heroin. I left. I'm not on heroin. Don't yell at me. Understand I'm in a bad state. You're making worse. Private life is a mess. And God knows what's happening with my career. Cut to spade pouring vinegar and Pepto Bismol and do a punch bowl. Calls it a putrid bowl of liquid shit for the pledges. Marlon's late. Thanks. Punch looks good. Drinks it. He's unfazed by it. He's got no taste. He chugs the whole thing. All right. So it's ripping down his chin. Comedy just because you can drink it doesn't mean your guts aren't going to get messed up. Going to get fucked. I enjoy hot sauce and hot wings and all type of shit. And Zach knows the next day. What would I know in the chat? There's an update. Oh, I'm not there. It's on fire. I'm not checking it. You're not checking it. No, I'm not checking the stool. I'm not there checking your stool. Got it. Thank you. Buddy comedy. I concept final test. Chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Everybody knows that's Marlon weak links must be forged in fire. So he starts paddling him and now Marlon can't feel it. How do we know he doesn't feel it starts whistling and checks his watch. Mama hits harder than that. Cut to the hockey games. Trafford hasn't beaten a story in 30 years. You haven't had a lead for as long as the announcer's been alive. Right. It's tough to win. Yeah. But thanks to they believe he goes blind. He skates out. He takes out his own guy. Astoria scores. He set up behind the goal. They keep scoring and they still with a blind goalie don't score as many goals as the Hawks did against the Mighty Ducks in the first game. That's right. Marlon tries to go to Janice's apartment. He's still blind. Rip answers the door. I got confused. I said he's at Rip Torn's apartment. Why would this guy have an apartment. Why would your dad make a point. Misdirection. I thought Rip Torn was about to. Yeah. That's what I thought. I'm like oh shit. Dabblin. The first thing Marlon says is don't say anything please. Oh because he can't see because that'll make the scene funnier. I betrayed you. I hurt you. Might lose something. I want so much. That was rip. I think I love you the way you feel the way you smell your body. He gropes rip. Damn baby. Your breasts got big. No way. We saw Janice earlier and that suit you're wearing is really nice. You like that suit. I got you rip elbows him in the hog crumples to the ground. Film noir rip is Janice's. His vision comes back. Darrell. Mr. Tyson. What the hell are you doing here. This is my daughter. That's your father. So your mama must be black. Mr. Tyson. Are you dipping in the chocolate. Incredible rip torn ass off shit eating grin. Golden dumpster. Look at this photograph. Vena's that. Janice is gonna lecture Darrell in the hallway. His nice guy act was a con. Which it was. Going through a whole lot of stuff. Doesn't explain. It'll be over soon. He asked her to trust him. I wish I could. He doesn't trust him. Nor should she know. PPD might be the villain in this movie professionally for Darrell. Yeah. Even if they had written it as larynx just took advantage of him. The reason he's going out with her is because he eavesdropped on her conversation and then presented himself as a thing that she's looking for. Yeah. She shouldn't trust him. He is a cod man. This feels. How is it mean vouching for a woman. What is this setup. Someone must be listening. No. No. No. No. She's perpetually poor. Darrell is listening. Oh you should check out my podcast in a month. Exactly. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Heads to a punk bar to find Lillard. There is a moment where there's a guy playing pool with a spiky Mohawk and Marlon's afraid to get poked by it. Marlon needs his help to study for the final competition. Cut the spade with his dad appreciates his help studying. I'm not going to help you. They are. Oh it's a whole board of people to help. Twelve dudes in suits with leather folders. And then we get a montage of studying. You little mini montage cutting back and forth. And all we're missing is send me an angel. Now we don't get that. Send me an angel. We get techno music. That's right. Econ jargon. Blah blah blah. Some shit. I don't know. Spades being impudent. Puncts are watching TV. Marlon changes the channel and we get horrible. Oh my God. Hey my stocks are up. This is somebody voice. You see it's funny because these are likeers. Yeah. They wouldn't have a stock market portfolio. 20 CB laptops. Deaf Marlon comedy. And that's not death like death comedy jam. It's like deaf DEF. Man your father would love what you've been doing at death jam. Spade is getting a temple massage from a buff ball dude who is a former Ohio State and Dolphin Center. Oh and I thought damn centers were jacked in the 20 CB centers are jacked now in shape. No I just meant you look like a linebacker more than a center. He doesn't look like a fat guy is what he's saying. He calls Janice her answering machine picks up and guys that's a repeat offender because I had that same exact answering machine in college. Got it from Radio Shack 20 CB. Your oldest fuck. Yeah that's a 20 CB as against. He's so proud of it too. I got it from Radio Shack is the definition of 20th century having that answering machine was enough. I could have stopped there but no I know Spade argues with the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve about what the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve would do. What is he Trump got a punk girl trying to make out with Lillard. He's dodging but then he gives in. Hey dog you got to go tells Marlon to put some faith in fate. Marlon thinks the drug is out of his system. I don't know if this is disembodied or not but we hear I'll take care of the tip. Double entendre get it gets out of a taxi in a suit and he immediately goes blind. Oh no so he asks an unhoused gentleman to help him. This guy has been straight hand with dirt as he's trying to figure out if Marlon really can't see. He flips him off and then flinches. Yeah I left as if his vision is in compared. He takes Marlon to the alley beats him takes his suit very quickly the good thing is Marlon doesn't do any recycled Wayne humor and yell in a high-pitched voice does he. We do hear that as he's getting hit. Oh okay the unhoused gentleman stole his draws too crazy go at all. Well I guess they would be cleaner than his damn. Sesty you're a cashier. Now Marlon is naked with a trash can lid. He's grabbing at people. He barges into a suit store chats up a mannequin then offers the salesman $50 in his sock for a suit. They give him a pimp prom suit. Gold suit blue ruffled shirt matching shoes not bad for 50 bucks very tight recycled Wayne's humor. I've seen Marlon himself wear this type of suit 8 million times. This also seems like something they'd put John Witherspoon in. Yes there's an episode where pops like I'll get you right and then he gets him dressed up like this. Also this is how he dresses in white chicks when he's paying the Bodega owner. He goes in the bathroom sees himself then loses his face feeling and pees his pants. That's right. Making a neon green puddle on the floor. Looks like he's been drinking minotaur. Taste the beast. Reference. In case you weren't sure what's happening let's get an echo. Oh I was wondering of doctor talking about the drug passing. It passes literally. Yes. Into a neon green puddle on the floor. Neon green puddle that's how you know it's out. Jesus. He comes out pretending he got into a water fight with some guys in his bio class receptions doesn't buy it. No she's late to get up on stage for the competition. Excuse the suit. There's an audience allergic to everything but polyester. Why is his mom here. Why would your mom. This is the Bartleby yeah hearing to get out of fraud award doctor prescribed this suit for him and fittingly we get a doctor reverse press conference laugh. Quick cuts of different candidates answering in jargon so much jargon. Econ jargon montage. No one cares. Three contestants cut. The other dude gets cut almost immediately. This guy blowing the question to get down to the final two. They're like all right. Very nice. Get out of here. You lost your pictures. Daddy. What's up. He gets asked if he were given control of smith baits venture capital fund. What do you do. And he says he goes startup industry low risk high gain strategy. He would pursue an emerging markets. This is really sound advice. Yeah. In terms of making money. Marlon calls him out. Rich get richer off the sweat of the poor. Right. Scott tells him to visit an emerging market. I summered in Cancun. Marlon would start a community based bank and invest in these areas. The larger banks abandoned abandoned for a good reason says spade. Why the poor get poorer. Who taught you that your father. Pop. Hey where's your father tonight. Darrell. God his ass. Who's that man. He says I'm about to kick your little ass. That's where he's at. Rip says to keep it civil. They've got two excellent answers. I thought they have a tie on to the final answer. Look at this chart. Look at this chart graph. It's the same exact chart from David Spade's cram session. They literally carried it over. If spade revised chairman he'd raise rates. Excellent. Why spade gets stuck. You can't answer. Willard and Janice show up and now Marlon is distracted staring at Janice. Professor says yo. Hey remember from the beginning of the movie. All back. You guys are unabonical. Marlon gives exposition about Simon's theory. Hello exposition. John Simon 1908 Westbridge, Indiana. I'm from Indiana. I like to call this the Stephen A. Smith. If I ask you about what job has JJ Reddick done with the Lakers. This is the Amino Hassan man. What are you talking about. This is the Stephen A. Smith. What. Giving facts that are kind of related but not really related. Not even kind of related. You know JJ ready. We know his resume as a former NBA player and as an analyst. So I think this is the ESPN formula because Jaylen Rose used to do this all the time. Darren Williams number five pick in the draft out of Illinois. Tell me is he good or not. What do you need to do in the second half of this game. Well we know exactly his pedigree. He's running point card for the Utah Jazz. We know he's got a great crossover. We know he plays with Carlos Booster and Memo no Cork. It predicts the future of inflation. He literally gives Simon formula which requires federal correction. Everyone is chattering. Rip says you got the job. Everybody claps. He leans into David Spade says. I'm botically speaking. I know my shit. Callback. The whole room loses its shit because of course all these people pay to attend the last interview for entry level job. They've got a rooting interest for sure. And then David Spade gets a cushy VP position from his dad at his bank and makes more money than Marlon way until making his whole life. Sure. Yeah. He's already a seven fingers. Marlon looks at his family makes everybody stop admits he cheated. No not today. I studied very hard but I had an extra edge becoming a finalist. Not my athletic talent not money and it wasn't my daddy. It was an experimental drug. Why. Well dad. Lilard stands up but it wasn't heroin. Yeah. He's not on the horse. Love that Marlon apologize to Rip and Bellwethers says he deserves it even though he didn't earn it honestly cut to him just wrapping up the whole story. I do deserve the job even though I didn't earn it honestly. Can we put a question mark on this message. What message. This is absolutely message but it doesn't make sense to me. I know intro but then we see him explain the entire story to his mom and Janice right. No. No he says that's the whole story. Yeah. I don't know. Oh shit. David's dad's cut him off. You can't cut me off. I'm your son. You love me. Remember that time you almost said it. Daisy Chan cut it off. Well I mean cut him off. Rip announces no junior analyst this year. Save some money on that. Still the most impressive candidate. Janice gives exposition that Rip started in the mail room. He didn't come from money. Rip knows his job and worked hard. That's why he's still a Smith Bates man. He reminds himself of Marlon gives him a second chance. Mail room job work hard in a year. You'll be a fine junior analyst. Maybe a great son-in-law too. They also weren't in sync. They didn't even hit their mark. They didn't hit the don't push it at the same time. No they weren't even close. Go on. One year later. Thank you. Party for Daryl. He got the position. Wow. What an incredible waste of time. Mays is that a super eight camera but it looks like the most modern super eight camera I've ever seen in my life. Prettially poor Darrell pretty streamlined. I'm not a video camera guy so I didn't recognize that but I believe it and Tim is shooting the home movie but Ma says give me the camera so we can see your new girlfriend revealing that Matthew Lillard has gone full Pelosi. Oh boy. Rachel dollars all is what I went with. I went every company during black history month including xenophobic. Absolutely. We've been a whole year. Fuckers. He's dating Lorraine now. Yep. And they toast Darrell. No way Janice is cool hanging out with Matthew Lillard and his girlfriend. He tried to sleep with her man and she already knew that this was the type of behavior that Lorraine. Yeah. Sorority sister. And we also know that fucking Marlon is a piece of shit. Yes. Obviously he took performance enhancing drugs. So that's how you think this is for a mean taken the women's side. No. Is it for Lorraine somehow. And then there's the third part which is Matthew Lillard is cosplaying. Right. This is cultural appropriation. Well it's his new face. I know it's his new face but for Janice this has got to be infuriating from every angle. Right. Poor Janice. He wants to move Ma over to the east side to a deluxe apartment. And that's it. That's the end of the reference. Who knows that. Well no then they play the Jefferson's theme. Get the theme. Oh that's it. That's the end of the reference. And then we get some B roll of the Twin Towers. Oh and the door man. The door man is Sherman Hemsley and he tips him and I think he's about to do the little George Jefferson dance. It seemed like it but they couldn't afford it. So they cut it. Yeah. Roll credits. Seat belts fastened. Trace tables in an upright position. Here we go. Oh Bought lift up. This plane started flying when Marlon saw the flyer. Yeah it's the flyer right. I had it when he injects himself and says can't get no worse than this because the first act's over. Yeah that works too. Then it actually gets better and then it gets worse. It's crazy how that happens. Well when does it get worse like middle of the second act. No no no at the end of the second act. Right as the third act's about to start. Why don't you try telling us what the fuck happened. Plot summary one minute and 33 seconds and it's me. It's gonna be maze. Wow. No. Three two one. We're back in college this time at Stratford U and NYC and what's a college trope we haven't covered yet. How about the student who can't afford tuition and has to work too many jobs. Marlon Wayans is a tour guide working in the dining hall. He delivers campus mail and picks up trash but despite all that he's still $10,000 in debt plus he's got to support his mom and four siblings and he's paying $500 a month for a couch in a dingy apartment with a straight edge heavily pierced hockey playing roommate. Marlon's desperation leads him to sign up for an experimental drug trial which gives him the same super senses as Craven the Hunter without getting mauled by a lion. At first it's a little overwhelming being able to hear every sound turned up to 11 and smell that everyone isn't zestfully clean but he soon learns to harness his super senses by taking one deep breath. Marlon is an econ major competing with David Spade a nepo baby banker for a prestigious junior analyst position at a big wall street firm and uses his new senses to eavesdrop and impress rip torn. Marlon also impresses his crush thanks to his refined sense of smell and taste and becomes a dominant hockey goalie due to his super touch and sight but things are going too well and we need to have a comedic setback so Marlon doubles his dose for no reason and as a result his senses go haywire madness ensues. He overcomes intermittent blindness deafness lack of motor function learns rip torn is his crush's dad and has been dipping in the chocolate being spayed in a final nerd off but then for no reason tells everyone he cheated and loses the job. Cut to a year later. No he got the job. You don't have the time because you learned a lesson or some shit. I don't know. No I'll go next. Three baby one two. Do me a favor. I don't want to do a countdown before I do. No countdown. Can we just do off of action. Just in your own time. Good. I'm not a rocket ship. OK. Marlon Wayans is a broke college student who has to have a variety of odd jobs to pay for his education including giving blood racistically and beating his meat to Big Butt magazine Bondage Cheerleader magazine and JCVD. David Spade is a spoiled rich Nepo baby frat bro with surprisingly sound business acumen. They both are going for the same junior analyst job at a Wall Street firm headed up by Padges O'Hoolen who we later discovered dipping in the chocolate. In order to make money Marlon agrees to be part of an experimental drug trial after he falls asleep in the middle of polycycline class. The drug gives him high super senses which he uses to stare at chicks asses and come upon contact. Hold up. This is how it's real autobiographical. Oh well it's not like he wears Hilfiger carpenter jeans and Nietzsche sweaters. Oh my god. It's a movie about me. Marlon Super senses allow him to eavesdrop on conversations becoming a world class goalie and smell from the stairway that dumps a woman takes in the bathroom saw Marlon's roommate is Matthew Lillard who has a lot of piercings and is on the hockey team and thinks Marlon is on heroin because he catches them injecting himself in the bathroom. That's a good friend. Marlon meets Padges O'Hoolen's daughter Patina at a frat party while the freak brother suddenly sings do you want a freak in the back room. Thirty. Within 48 hours she's cheering him on at a hockey game calling a baby and getting knotted on after some light kissing. Despite his life going perfect and direct instructions to not exceed the dosage Marlon decides to OD on the drug and it fucks with his senses. He embraces himself at the nickname cheats on Patina but his dick goes limp and then mistaken Padges O'Hoolen Patina and feels him up Marlon pulls it all night for the final exam tells up having Peter is probably has to suit wins the competition for the live studio audience and we're reminded that 9 11 still is three years away. Oh. Maze would you like that means extra time. Jesus Christ man. This thing does not work. Three two one. Marlon Wayans is perpetually poor Darrell PPD and he is a hard working student four five six jobs who knows but he's doing it all just to try to get through college so he could get the smite spates junior analyst job right out of college. He is Stratford graduate and makes $60,000 a year so he can start sending money to his mom because she lives in an apartment that's so poor so perpetually poor that that roaches have attitudes and he's got brothers and sisters that he needs to take care of and everything and so he's struggling. He finds a little bit of help from an experimental drug from Dr. Whedon and it starts heightening every single sense and he uses that to become a con man. He starts conning Janice his crush that he meets at a frat house that he's trying to pledge. He gets her to like come to his hockey games and call him baby even though they barely know each other. Then he starts using all this to like really kind of subvert David Spade who's not a good guy in this movie but he's not a bad guy either. He's just kind of a dick and kind of an entitled prick but really like not the villain. The third is the system and Marlon Wayans who then cheats on Janice with Lorraine who's been eyeing him this entire time trying to make him horny for her and he cheats on her even though little homie was asleep the whole time. This leads Matthew Lillard to wondering 10 if he's on drugs. He's on heroin and it turns out no, he just lazily doubled the dosage and eventually it all turns out just fine because he bought a boat from that fucking yacht book that we read in the quest.

I mean it's just one night of bar trivia. One night of bar trivia is Sankrasank Tuss. Trivia is Sankrasank, Penalope Sphereus said in an interview that working with the Weinsteins on this made her want to stop making mainstream Hollywood movies. Oh yeah do we mention that Zach? She thought quote how the fuck did I get here? What am I doing? I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to work in this movie business anymore. Wow. Maybe we didn't mention this act that this movie was produced by the Weinsteins, Miramax. The Weinsteins kept rewriting the script over and over and it kept getting worse. At one point Penalope said to Bob Weinstein, I don't think this works. And he said this is my fucking money and I'm going to spend it any fucking way I want to. That's a good point. He probably left it at that right? He didn't say anything else after that. The movie ended up bombing and Penalope said they blamed her adding, and as a woman when you do a movie that doesn't do well then you're done. You're in director jail. So Marlon Wayans actually had a lot of fun making this movie. Sure. He said he really enjoyed working with Penalope saying that she was the kind of director that allows for improvisation and that's how he contributed to the comedy to a lot of the humor was improvised on set and those improvised moments often became some of the funniest parts of the movie. He emphasized that as a comedian you need freedom to explore and push boundaries and that Penalope allowed him to do that which he appreciated. Wayans said she quote let him go all the way and then pull you back a little helping him feel free to try things while keeping the performances focused. He also said that working with her was a positive experience saying she was great to work with and supportive of actor creativity. Noted that the environment on set was friendly and director encouraged ideas from the actors. Naked aggression is the punk band playing on TV before the channel has quickly changed. And while most of this movie was shot in Los Angeles, the exterior of David Space Fraternity was filmed at the Delta Tau Delta House at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Letters on the front stairs were painted on for the movie and repainted after the filming. Senseless was financed by Dimension Films and Miramax and was the second movie idea from Princeton University comedy writers Craig Mazin and Greg Erb with their first being the 1997 comedy Rocket Man. So they pitched these two comedies right out of college right out of Princeton. There you go. Press his history. I'd like you all to do an experiment on a plan something that may benefit mankind. And if you would devise something that groundbreaking, I gown to you a A in this course. Oh, hold on, man. You following me? You can't do that, Lionel. Look, man, if you don't want me to have a foreman job, I understand, but I need my fucking job, man. Lewis Pinnock Axon Award. Marlon Wayans pretending to be his mom. Marlon Wayans blood donation montage. Abonically speaking. Here's the blood drive scene. We're showing with our horsemen. Yeah, we got soul. Oh, five horsemen, man. Econ jargon science jargon. Yes, Marlon Wayans physical comedy. Yes, recycled Wayans humor fish islands 20 CB message racism. Lazy writing as another candidate. I should say yeah, my vote is going to be for recycled Wayans jokes. I agree, especially when you pair it with that quote of they let him improv. So he did stuff that he's already done or seen other people do. He's not improving. Penalope had never heard it. So she said, yeah, let's put it in the movie. Oh, wow. You come up with that Michael Jackson line right now, right on the spot. So funny. In through nose out the mouth. As on as off. Teddy Rex, musty Teddy Rex, Teddy Rex, musty Teddy Rex. Ass on. Fuck it. Ass off. Ass on. Fuck it. Ass off. Michael Bean Memorial Ass on Award. Tamara Taylor is Janice Tyson. No, Marlon Wayans is Darrell Witherspoon. At times. Patrick Ewing. No. And this is my pick. Techno soundtrack. Ass on. Yeah. The soundtrack. Whoa. I don't know about that. No, that soundtrack. Let's have a heartfelt emotional moment and let's drive that home with some nice throbbing bass music. I've got Thomas the class president. The one who doesn't talk. Now remember he can't grasp the whole bad means good. It doesn't make sense to me. I thought both those guys on the couch nailed it. You didn't open me for throbbing bass music, but you're going to open me for that. I like that. I like when it drops. You know what? I kind of like the idea of the soundtrack being ass on. Can't stop it now. It's not because the music is bad. It's because it's not the right fit. It just doesn't fit ever. And I thought about making it a horseman, but I think it's better as ass on. Check this out. $1,100 is exactly what I charge for acting classes. No, it isn't. Yeah. Well, what are the chips? Universe? You've done it again. Probably this is a royal ass off award. I think it comes down to Rip Torn as Randall Tyson or David Spade as Scott Thorpe. Dick Rich. I think Lillard's good. Lillard's good. Lillard's my pick. I'd go Lillard. Lillard or Torn. I think that look from Torn, you know, that probably is the censure. But what about the look from Lillard about the shooting himself and the hand on the chest? Lillard's my pick, man. Okay. Yeah, I'll go Lillard. I couldn't get past the idea that he's in character for another movie, but all right. He was ass off for that movie. So yeah, I was saying. Hey, what can you say? He's a good shot. So when the black man recycled shit, we got a problem. But when the white man recycled, I don't know if he's recycling it because I don't know which movie was filmed first horseman assumptions. You're good at keeping secrets. Absolutely. Cause I've got a, a present for you. Secret present outside by the dumpster. Is it a baseball mitt? It fits you like a baseball mitt, like a glove. I hope. Golden dumpster nominees. Deborah Jo Rep reactions at the fertility clinic. Bottom line. You're an MTV video. Everybody say, Hey, Oh, and we're VH one on James Taylor. Some shit. I don't know. Weekend Marlin Wayans recycled Tourette's joke. Hockey announcers sneaking swigs like Brock Meyer cause they're winning for the first time in their life and saying the team is back. Mr. Tyson. Are you dipping in the chocolate cut to rip torn and Lillard going full Pelosi at the end. I'll add Roach is getting an attitude from the mom, the sperm donor clinic, disembodied voice. Oh baby, the light skin guy can't get a hang of bad knees. Good. Doesn't make sense to him. Marlin eavesdropping on Lillard reading Langston Hughes and saying, look too hard to know or hurt your eye. Yes. Coming from making out and then say, don't touch it. Don't touch it. Lillard is going, Oh my God. He's OD. No dog. Don't leave us. The chicks say back up. Okay. He's going to shit himself and Janice coming in to the room is saying, really, really like Charlie day. Zach, what do you got? Mine's going to be back up. He's going to shit himself. I laugh so hard at that point, especially the look that Lillard gives. I have to go with Mr. Tyson. Are you dipping in the chocolate cut to rip torn? I mean, I think I'm going to go with spade expositioning that Thomas the class president is a black guy who can't get the hang of bad, meaning good. Just doesn't make sense to him. Who picked this me? Pluto picked it. Yeah, but I had to choose from the Pluto options. Hey, Maze, you and Pluto picked the motherfucker. Motherfucker. I like that over file. Well, very similar to dead man on campus. I was enjoying this movie before we get into the ridiculous premise that makes it a movie. So the rivalry between spade and Marlin of who's going to get this junior analyst position and even some of the stuff about him working on campus and introducing Matthew Lillard and stuff. I'm like, okay, like we're heading there. Some good jokes. I'm enjoying this. And then the census stuff. Once it became clear that why they cast Marlin Wayans and how he's going to be doing all this physical comedy, rubbing his ass on everything because it's itching and the fish eye lens in his face. I'm like, all right, this is less funny, but I'm sticking with it. Like, okay, there's still the case. So funny scene. And then the third act hits now to take perfection and double it and be double perfect. Cause we need to have some bad shit happen. Really tested me. So it's tough. There's parts of this movie that I really liked. And then there's a lot that completely missed the mark for me. But since I had never heard of it and much like Johnny be good, I was pleasantly surprised with the first half. I am going to happily file it with six C. Of ooze with double dosage. Well, double dosage. I feel like would be no snacks. Okay. Too many snacks. Too many snacks. Yeah. I mean, I saw this movie in the theaters in college and I didn't realize it at the time because I wasn't self aware enough as a college student that they basically ripped off my life. The way I dressed, the way I acted, the rapidity with which I came, the falling asleep in the middle of a room full of people complete with drool. To fob it would be to fob my life. I don't want to fob my life. It made no sense. The third act, we came up with like five different versions that would have made more sense and would have been better. But the name of the movie is senseless. So I don't think we can be bad at that. I'm also going to file it with snacks. Zach Green, sweet. What the fuck are you two doing? This movie is terrible. Yeah. What? There's a couple of funny moments. I think Lillard's good. I think Marlon's fine. I think Spade's fine. Rip Torn. I think Rip Torn's great. Big Mama. This movie is stupid. Yes. What? It's stupid. Yes. It's not supposed to be an eye concept comedy, Zach. I mean, IMDb disagrees. Yeah. This is a stupid movie. It's not that funny. I hate the fisheye thing. I hate it. I don't think it's ever clever. No nostalgia for the fisheye? No. I saw all these jokes in the Wayne's Brothers show. This is just not a good movie. So Hype Williams, it means nothing to you. It was quick. It's not a long 90, but Jesus Christ, guys. I thought this was going to be a red sweep. What? Also, I'm not buying a means. What? That Janice got done dirty? Marlon's a bad guy. Marlon is a bad guy in this movie. I've not bought it, but I think you celebrate it more than you would banish it. Well, Zach, him saying that Marlon's the bad guy while also saying that it's his life is what's crazy. Yeah, I can't the first time ever in Cinefob history that he takes the side of a woman is against himself. What are you guys doing? What are you doing? What are you guys doing? In good conscience, I cannot file a means life. Fuck. Just like he can't focus on life. I can't file it. It really, really made me want to take my file back. I'm not gonna lie. There's still time, but I'm going for no green sweep. I can't believe it's not a red sweep. Oh my God. Make sure you you send us your folder file. Your golden dubs through ass on ass off. Five horsemen, Lewis pinoc plot lift off. Wait to see what you pick. Whether you'd fove or file your own life at talk hoops at d'arthomene at corn puzzle at Cinefob pod at count the dings or drop it at the discord by being a patreon member at patreon.com slash count the dings next time we make love. You introduced me to Chad. I don't know what you guys are trying to do. He filed it with you. No, I appreciate the file. I'm saying the part where it's like, Hey, what's it mean doing? Ha, ha, ha. I mean, these jackfucks celebrate it. Who the jackfucks who listened? Say jackfucks a few more times. I could flip my camera. All right. So I mean you texted that Pluto gave you three recommendations. One of them we'd already done and then Pluto gave me three recommendations and one of them we've already done. Same three recommendations, one we've already done was a blank man blank man. They gave me yeah, but I got two very different other options. Okay. I think this is the result of my algorithm fighting a means algorithm. Okay. What is your algorithm say? So I got the honey winners. Yes, me too. Uh-huh. Sederic the entertainer. What's the other one you guys got? Little man. Is that what you got to mean? I got little man. I got Dicky Roberts, former child star. Oh, shit. The spade special. Wow. Jesus. It pushed through. Look, man, it is fighting. I said, Hey, hey, fella. Hey, fella. I got one more for you. Hi, buddy. This is my theory while I don't want to do Dicky Roberts intro. I worry if we don't break the cycle, it's going to be black heritage year. Why is that bad? Why? I'm for diversity. I'm all about diversity. And if you pick the honey mooners, whatever, there's no going back. Fighting spirit is left in Zach's algorithm. It's going to be killed forever. There's no going back. Yeah. We needed to be mixed up a little bit. So I'm going to say Dicky Roberts. There is danger in letting my algorithm start to win. I'm an honest podcaster. I want your algorithm to win because I don't like that we're getting the same suggestion. That's really what it comes down to. I want a diversity of suggestions and then we can pick from there. And so anything that we can do to get it out of whatever the commonly suggested, maybe that's what we should do. We should always pick the one less traveled. So Dicky Roberts, former child star. Fuck me. Really Pluto? Like you couldn't give him anything else. I couldn't give me pixels. I'd happily do pixels. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. I'd do any one of those movies. You want to do that one for a while. It's been on the list. This now I have to toss more salads.
