Sam: What do you remember.
Sam: Yes.
Sam: I forgot about that that's very good.
Bret: I think the thing that I remember most about this movie is really liking that the bad guys change their whole thing from the wet Bandits to the sticky Bandits I remember there's a scene where he's got like tape on his hands.
Bret: Oh my gosh yes.
Vincent: I remember seeing where they come out of a fish that's why they said sticky Bandits to.
Bret: Quite a mess Market.

Bret: You think do you think you're going to enjoy it is it is it going to be.
Vincent: Yeah I think it's going to be really good.

Vincent: Wasn't Home Alone 2 where he gets left at the.
Sam: Yes you are correct.
Bret: Yeah.
Bret: Yeah I'm looking forward to watching our he gets lost again cuz I honestly don't remember how he makes his way out of the airport and this one.
Bret: Okay.
Sam: I remembered I want to spoil it for you for some reason that's one part that I remember pretty clearly I think cuz it literally happened to me.
Vincent: I think I even got mad cuz I really liked.
Bret: I think cuz it literally happened to me alright yeah but I think I think I'm going to enjoy it cuz I really like the first one we watched on the podcast and still has.
Vincent: Yeah.
Bret: Like so magical.
Sam: You think you're going to like this one as much as the first one or is the first one just like so magical you can't compete.
Bret: Did the guy from the first one.
Sam: The guy from the first one right.
Vincent: I like balls because that guy the guy with the shovel everyone thinks he's a murderer and gets yeah and gets the salt and then the salt turns into Mommy's.
Vincent: Right now he has he has the salt and then put that on people's dead body.
Vincent: Yeah.
Bret: Yeah that was that was the rumor yeah.
Sam: Okay good with these movies or mine is just really.
Bret: Probably.
Sam: Both probably.
Bret: Hell yeah.
Sam: Yeah I think so much fun it's going to be a great movie it's no famous for reason.
Vincent: Remember that.
Bret: Paper paper paper paper.
Bret: Hellotech.
Sam: Hello hello testing.
Sam: Excellent.
Vincent: So we are back but only halfway through the movie.
Bret: So we are back but only halfway through the movie or taking a intermission.
Vincent: We're going to have a part 3.
Vincent: I love it okay.
Bret: Yeah we're breaking all of traditions today I love it okay so we seen half of the Moon.
Sam: Yeah we're breaking all of traditions today I love it Okay so we've seen half of the movie what are our thoughts so far.
Bret: What are our thoughts so far.
Vincent: What why do they call themselves the sticky Bandits what why does he put tape on his hand this my quest.
Vincent: But why.
Bret: Because he's a bad.
Sam: Pink because it's funny because he's a bad criminal.
Vincent: Yeah but why did he have to dig his hand in the bucket.
Sam: I know.
Bret: Cuz he's he really likes the idea of stealing $0. 10 at a time.
Sam: Enough for like a gumball.
Sam: Yeah.
Bret: At least at least one Gumball we saw the scenes that we remember that we talked about at the beginning them in the fish truck and.
Vincent: Yeah I thought they were called the sticky Bandits because of the fish truck.
Sam: Because they were sticky from all the fish goo.
Sam: You know that would make more sense I think.
Bret: That makes sense.
Sam: I have a question where did he get the tape that he wrapped around his hands that yeah where that where did that tape come from I wonder.
Vincent: Alright.
Bret: Do you wish that you had one of those tape recorders or he like her chords people talking the things awesome I used to have one of those when I was a kid.
Vincent: Yeah but why did he do it with the shower.
Bret: Good question it's awesome that he used used all that audio until I can't recall those people here but that is so very good question why did he record his uncle in the shower.
Sam: Yeah yeah I mean I think his uncle's reaction with prettiest but on there.
Vincent: Yeah what does slap you silly mean though.
Sam: Well back in the day that used to be acceptable for adults to hit children.
Sam: That's the thing Cody means quite literally.
Bret: Imagine being slapped so hard you could no longer think.
Vincent: I think he's I think he's just trying to I think he's just trying to get Kevin out of there.
Bret: Yes.
Sam: Yeah absolutely with you know I mean he's surprised in the shower.
Bret: It's in the shower no threats like an uncle.
Vincent: Will he didn't want anyone bothering him in the shower.
Sam: I think that's a very fair I request think that's totally reasonable you had mentioned something that you said the only part of this movie you didn't like was in the beginning when Kevin gets in trouble for what his brother did remember.
Sam: Is totally buzzes fault.
Vincent: Yeah that's that's unfair it shouldn't blame blame it on him they should blame it on Buzz Buzz Buzz.
Vincent: Get that either.
Bret: Like I don't get that either Buzz is the one that bullied his brother in front of the.
Sam: Like I don't get that either Buzz is the one that bullied is brother in front of the entire parent student body and then Kevin got in trouble for it.
Vincent: At the church.
Bret: Body trouble for it either that whole fake apology.
Vincent: Either that whole fake apology yeah why is he sarcastic.
Vincent: Anything like that ever.
Bret: That was those really late cuz anything like that ever happened to you.
Sam: Yeah that was that was really lame has anything like that ever happened to you.
Bret: I've had to deal with things like that.
Vincent: You mean Brett.
Sam: Did you or did you take the fall for.
Bret: What did you take the fall for.
Bret: My sister and their best year.
Vincent: In the what.
Sam: It's a it's an expression it means you're going to let them take the blame.
Bret: It's it's a you're lucky you don't have via the younger sibling to deal with Vincent cuz that's it that's definitely a sibling problem with the fake apology.
Vincent: Okay moving on.
Sam: Apology.
Bret: How he got to New York by accident right you said that was one thing we couldn't remember how it happened.
Sam: Oh so now we've seen the first house so we remember how he got to New York by accident right we said that was one thing we couldn't remember how it happened.
Vincent: Yeah because.
Vincent: You saw the person in the same jacket but it actually wasn't Kevin's dad.
Bret: This followed a random stranger on the plane.
Vincent: And then he didn't find his family.
Sam: Yeah I think they did a really good job of making that seem believable know he runs into the the stewardess and drops all of the boarding passes so she just lets him on and then they're just well I guess we realized what the most unbelievable part is that there was an empty seat right before Christmas at the crowded Airport.
Sam: But other than that I think I could totally happen.
Vincent: Yeah but I'll never do that I would never get something out of the bag.
Bret: Stick with your family in the crowded Airport.
Vincent: I'll just get the thing when I get on to the airport.
Sam: Yeah that seems reasonable what do you think he was planning on recording between there and the airplane.
Vincent: Anything suspicious.
Sam: I guess I don't know.
Bret: He's like a little kid detective LOL Angus McDonald.
Sam: Maybe he's trying to capture his brother on record bullying him I thought you're laughing at Brett's joke I was like dang I did not get that joke.
Bret: Angus McDonald is the detective from The Adventure Zone.
Vincent: Yeah but Angus McDonald's has the best icons plays him as a icon has played him.
Bret: You're famous for your cosplay.
Sam: That was the first time we ever met you.
Vincent: Al's Famous.
Bret: So.
Vincent: I don't know why though.
Sam: Yeah yeah yeah.
Bret: So what is your favorite part of the movie so far.
Vincent: Or the or the clown is taking a shower.
Sam: Yes.
Sam: That was pretty funny.
Bret: The balloon clown.
Vincent: How do you mean get that balloon clown from his mother.
Bret: That kids got the lungs of a God if he could blow up that balloon clown that fast.
Bret: Okay alright that tracks.
Sam: Well I like to think that he had set that up beforehand because he probably anticipated needing to prove that there was an adult there so that I think was just ready to go in the shower and all you had to do was turn off the water.
Bret: My favorite part of the movie has so far.
Sam: Yeah that was great I'm impressed that you know the names of both Tim Curry and Tom.
Bret: We're like who's that actor events as Tom Kenny and it was Tim Curry and they're so similar.
Sam: Tell her yes yeah yeah.
Vincent: I can't timtom and.
Bret: Absolutely.
Sam: Yeah yeah yeah yeah absolutely that I'm genuinely very impressed that you know the names of both of them.
Bret: And now I'm forever going to be mixing them up in my head so thank you Vincent for that.
Sam: Alright so so far halfway through the movie The holding up is it still good.
Bret: So good yeah I think so too I'm looking forward to watching the end of it cuz I know that's when stuff gets Wild.
Vincent: Yeah.
Bret: All right well I'm excited to continue watching the movie so I think we're going to posit here and we'll watch the end of the movie and we'll give you our thoughts about it when we get back.
Bret: That that that that that that that that that that.
Vincent: Grand Theft Auto.
Bret: Cuz I'm home.
Bret: Hello.
Vincent: I know.
Bret: No one gonna steal my presents now cuz I'm home.
Vincent: No one's going to steal alone or are you actually recording.
Bret: McCarter that's the song for the moment come back.
Vincent: Mickey Bandits most to feed you and kill you.
Vincent: This is the best song.
Sam: Wow this is the best song that's ever been.
Bret: I do not know.
Vincent: The traps.
Bret: He had been hit in the head with a lot of Bricks by that point I think he wasn't thinking clearly.
Vincent: No that was the other guy.
Bret: Or the other guy.
Sam: He probably thought the stairs were booby-trapped.
Sam: Which they were but the latter was all through we were trapped yeah yep yeah.
Vincent: When the other guy made it up to the stairs he kept walking and then you fell all the way down to the basement he's there pretty much they're pretty much zombies in.
Vincent: In jail.
Bret: I think that the theory is that they have to be immortal somehow either they're zombies or they are gods or ghosts.
Sam: Gods.
Vincent: Ghosts DJ ghost.
Bret: They might be ghosts.
Sam: Yeah or or demons which.
Sam: Part did you laugh at the most.
Vincent: Are they kept dying.
Bret: Which part that holds bit.
Sam: Yes but which part that whole bit is amazing.
Vincent: Yes I love all of it.
Sam: But which which one which particular booby-trap did you find the funniest.
Vincent: World War II.
Bret: Play mean rope of Doom I love it mine.
Sam: The Flaming rope of Doom I love it mine is the exploding toilet.
Bret: Exploding toilet is very good.
Vincent: Yeah he put oil in there is a very smart but the other guys are dumb.
Sam: Very dumb also apparently very predictable because they walked into literally 1000f Kevin's traps.
Sam: And then what happened after they fell.
Vincent: Yeah remember where they were Faking It about they about getting hit by the bucket and then they actually got hit by a pipe and then they fell all the way down to the basement and then Kevin cut the rope and then they Ultimate Guide.
Bret: I also love when.
Vincent: Flyte gymnastics.
Bret: Gymnastics.
Sam: They got hit by the pipe again it's so good I also love when he greased the fire escape and the guy goes to grab the bars and you just fruit flings right off.
Bret: You want to play our podcast game.
Bret: Okay so the podcast game is called Liam DB.
Vincent: Lion DB.
Sam: Yeah.
Vincent: I like that.
Bret: The first one is.
Bret: Did you know that the guy that played Marv with the big hair when they were showing that last seen a bird flew into his mouth.
Vincent: No that's false.
Bret: That's the first fact we got here all three of them.
Bret: Second fact.
Bret: Did you know that.
Bret: They filmed the swimming pool scene.
Bret: Not at the Plaza Hotel but in but in a different Hotel in Chicago cuz there's no swimming pool at the Plaza Hotel.
Sam: That's funny.
Bret: Fax number to fax number 3.
Bret: Did you know that when they were filming they accidentally hit one of the guys with a paint can Joe Pesci got hit with the swimming.
Sam: I think it's the pool the plaza has to have a pool right.
Bret: Elsa has to have a pool.
Vincent: I actually think it's the buckets.
Vincent: I think it's both.
Bret: Exchanging the buckets is only one that's not true.
Vincent: And I think it's the buckets.
Sam: Wait time I change my answer to the bird.
Vincent: The winner.
Sam: Good job.
Vincent: Oh good job the guy.
Vincent: Beethoven.
Sam: Oh my gosh that's nightmare-inducing.
Bret: Change it to the bird looks like Vincent the winner they did not get hit with the buckets but the guy that played really got a fidget in his mouth and he said it was super disgusting they covered them with with real bird seed and actually released 300 pages on to them.
Vincent: What is Pitbull.
Sam: Wow I did not know that I mean.
Bret: No I did not know that.
Sam: Interesting if you had your own hotel room at the plaza what would you order.
Sam: Your room service.
Bret: I feel like I would be on team ice cream like I feel like scream at the at the room is exactly what I want late night ice cream or like a late-night sandwich.
Sam: I think I would want to order obviously a pizza and a whole cake.
Vincent: I would say.
Sam: Can have anything.
Vincent: I would say a large gooey brownie ice cream.
Sam: Ice cream.
Sam: It's amazing I love it.
Vincent: And Eminem's as large as The Avengers Tower.
Bret: I want to know how the physics of that one works out because I think the Avengers Tower is larger than the Plaza Hotel.
Bret: Imagine that many Eminem.
Sam: Tussle.
Vincent: Yeah the Avengers Tower is all the way up in the clouds.
Bret: Yeah pretty doll.
Sam: Huge M&M.
Bret: The one Eminem or is it like so many Eminem's. Is that all.
Vincent: 10 M&M's.
Bret: Vegas Eminem would they.
Bret: Edible Eminem's not like.
Sam: Biggest M&M's would they please tell me they would be like edible Eminem's not like the ones from the commercials that are like alive.
Bret: How you don't want to eat there like oh no please don't eat me.
Vincent: It's not that they're writable.
Bret: Had to check alright question.
Bret: What if you could have one toy in all of the dumb.
Sam: Okay. Just checking instead to check one more question right so we did the the room-service what if you could have one toy and all of the Duncan's toy store what would it be.
Sam: I would like the playhouse.
Bret: Which one.
Sam: Which one.
Vincent: The blue one.
Sam: The blue one I like the pink one.
Bret: Make sense.
Vincent: So do you think we're the Bad Guys.
Bret: Hahaha attracts.
Sam: Maybe Brett what toy would you pick.
Bret: I thought I had a real cool train set in there.
Vincent: I didn't see that either.
Bret: In the background.
Vincent: It's fine.
Sam: You can change your answer if you want.
Vincent: The house anyways.
Sam: That'd be really cool.
Vincent: Fit in the playhouse even though it was built for childs.
Sam: Yeah.
Bret: That is a good question Joe Pesci's really tiny.
Sam: Is pretty tiny.
Bret: He's a tiny tiny man.
Sam: Also second question how come nobody noticed they were in those houses during the day.
Bret: Because they're unpopular houses none of the children wanted to play in them.
Vincent: Hey I like those houses though.
Sam: Yeah I know.
Sam: Alright are we ready for final thoughts.
Bret: These are these are movie children the movie children didn't want to play in them start with Samantha.
Bret: Only sell fold-up absolutely love it.
Bret: Busting up laughing.
Sam: Totally still hold up absolutely love it we were busting up laughing and it's still a great movie the soundtrack is killer the editing is killer and acting sprayed.
Vincent: Yeah but the editing is also when the birds jump.
Sam: This true is probably literally killer.
Vincent: But how did the bird say in his mouth.
Bret: I don't think I got all the way in it was just kind of like flapping around in there you know.
Vincent: The wrench is on.
Bret: I agree I think this movie held up pretty good I don't know if I held up as much as the first one in terms of the violence just because of the one member that wants it when he slides into the paint and I was like I don't know about that but that's the only one that's only one where I'm like I don't know about that but the rest of it so hilarious fired twice they dropped the wrenches on him the common this is hilarious cuz laughing the whole time and also the adults were laughing the whole time I want to definitely holds up Vincent what do you think of profound thoughts.
Vincent: It is so good I cannot stop laughing my smile is still up.
Sam: I agree cheats are hurting from laughing so hard I mean if we're watching this like not at Christmas time that's how good it is right ya agree.
