F1 stands for F, yeah! The Simpsons stealing from Surf 2 and a very cheesy Stallone. All this and more on this week's How Did This Get Made? Last looks! Hit the theme! Say something before it's gone

Because it's Last Looks, Last Looks, this is the opening song. Well, after this one, Paul moves on. Hello, all my surf zombies. It puts the lotion in the basket. I'm Paul Scheer, and welcome.

Welcome to How Did This Get Made? Last looks, where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Surf 2, a movie that honestly, I mean, it just grossed us out. We were utterly disgusted by this movie, but also kind of loved it. I tell you that Aaron Rene, one of our Discord users, thought the movie should have had the tagline, Surf 2, gross.

Grease 3, Eugene's Revenge. I love it. Thank you, Aaron Rene, for that alt tagline. Remember, if you have an alt movie tagline or a title, submit it to us on our Discord, and we might just read it on the show. All right, it is...

4th of July people. So we'll be hearing all your corrections and omissions on surf too. There's not going to be a lot of them because a lot of you people are out on vacation, living the life, not trying to correct us, just letting us live. But we will get to those corrections and omissions. Plus we have a deleted scene from last week's episode, which you're going to love. And

Jason's not here. He's also on vacation. It's just me, fresh home from F1, which I fucking loved. It's the best. Uh, I mean, yes, is the bad guy a little complicated to understand? Sure. But I don't care. Um, it's like Top Gun Maverick, but dumber, but in a way that makes it better. I don't know. I'm still processing it. Anyway, uh,

We have so much to get to, but we'll also reveal next week's episode. But before we get too far into things, I have to give a shout out to Quinn. Quinn, I love that opening theme song. It was so good. Good for you. Good for all of you. I love doing this show every week. Week after week, I am here for you. And you are here for me because you deliver the best last look episode themes in the world.

No one else has as good themes as we do. So keep them coming. Just go to hdtgm.com. That's our website. There's a little button there. You hit submit a song. And that's how you could submit songs to this. It's easy. Keep them short, though, right? Brevity is the soul of wit. And I believe that was said by Michael Bay. All right. Next week.

Pacific Northwest, you've been warned. Dinosaur Improv is coming to Seattle and Portland July 9th at the Neptune Theater, July 10th at the Portland Theater, which is also the Aladdin Theater. I like to call it the Portland Theater. We'll be at the Aladdin on the 10th, and we'll be at the Neptune on the 9th. Joining us is Edie Patterson from the Righteous Gemstones and Resident Alien. It's going to be me, Jason, Edie, Hubel,

Seth Morris, Carl Tartt, Owen Burke, Chad Carter, and then get ready. How did this get made? We'll be in Vancouver on the 12th. Okay, we have changed locations. Repeat, how did this get made in Vancouver? Has changed locations. You should have been notified by your ticket seller, broker, whatever you call the people you buy tickets from. We are now at the Vogue Theater and we might...

as of this recording, be completely sold out. So, heads up, Vancouver is at the Vogue Theater now. We cannot wait to see you, and we'll be talking about the 2001 Sylvester Stallone car racing drama, Driven, which will not live up to my F1 IMAX experience.

Oh man, you know, we have two IMAX theaters, a true IMAX theaters in LA. One's on CityWalk. One is at the Kodak Theater, the Dolby Theater, the big one, Man's Chinese Theater is what I call it. And I got to tell you this.

Beautiful IMAX, great sound, saw RRR there, seen a lot of movies there. Concessions suck ass there. They're terrible concessions. It's like the concessions are trapped in 1984. I don't get it.

I don't get why the concessions are so bad there. Anyway, that's just a shout out to a very specific problem that I have with one of the only two IMAX theaters here. And I know there's these other theaters who we have. Oh, IMAX presentation. It's not IMAX. It ain't IMAX, buddy. That ain't IMAX. Uh, anyway, if you haven't heard, um,

this is going to be a too abrupt of a change of tone here. Um, you know, we have been celebrating bad movies for over 15 years on this show. And one of the reasons why this show is so good is our movie picks. And, um, the main person responsible for these amazing movie picks has been, uh,

for as long as I can remember, Averill Halle. Averill Halle is one of our movie-picking producers. I mean, she is our movie-picking producer. And she is going through a battle right now with brain cancer. And, you know, she has asked for some love. That's really...

One of the most beautiful things, if that tells you anything about Avril, it's, uh, it should tell you everything. Um, we were hoping that if you have a second, you could send her an email, some fan art, just something to brighten her day at Andrew at movie bitches.com.

You can send it right to andrewatmoviebitches.xyz. Just a little note, even checking in if you've done it before. And if you want to send her something, nothing perishable and nothing scented, you can send it to Avril Halle, P.O. Box 641, Agora Hills, California, 91376. Avril Halle,

Avril is truly one of the kindest, nicest people I have met. I've loved my time working with her. We can't wait to have her back. Just, you know, if you have a second, send her some love.

Okay, that is all that I got. Let's get into it. Last week, we talked at length about Surf 2. Well, not that long, just regular. We had questions. And you know what? We might have even missed a few things. Here's your chance to set a straight fact check us, if you will. It is now time for Corrections and Omissions. Don't be a bad attitude. How did this get?

Boom. That's Action Jackson 5. That's like, was that Dark Ska? I mean, is it called Dark Ska? I love it. All right. Let's go to the Discord. Dove. Dove.

Dove writes, the Buzz Cola International Surf Trophy that they gave Eric Stoltz at the end is a woman's bowling trophy. I'm looking at a picture of it and you are correct. And you know what? This movie gets it. I'm not here to pick apart this movie. This movie gets it. But Dove also goes on to say the sign above the store said, Sir Boards. Sir Boards, because I assume they didn't give an F.

Oh, I like that, Dov. So many Easter eggs and other things just for the audience. They definitely had a blast. You know, this is stuff that actually came up during the fan Q&A as we cut it out for time. But yes, surfboards and groceries is a great notice, a great find, if you will. And the

The Discord is full of these finds. Pictures, everything is so beautifully detailed. Mitch Kappa, Chunkstyle writes, giving the nerdiest couple two full pages in the yearbook seems really extravagant. Well, Mitch Kappa, we all know the nerds put together the yearbook, so...

of course, but they were called the nerdiest couple. And maybe it's a small school. I had a, I went to a small private school when I was very young and I still have my yearbook from it. And there was only one senior. So it was like junior class, sophomore class. And then it was the senior.

The senior. And it was a full page picture of her, um, lonely. That seems so lonely, but back then it felt so cool. Uh, ghost bag rights. Does Eddie Deason's character in this film create buzz Cola with three Z's with the intention of initially putting the surfers to sleep? Oh, and the zombification isn't like, is a unintended consequence of,

Okay, wait, wait, wait, Ghostbag, let me go with you. I like this. What if the buzz cola means zombies? Buzz and the extra Z is for zombie. Ghostbag, we got something. Let's go to the phones. First up, Rob.

Oh, we know where Rob is from. Rob from Long Island, what do you got? Hey guys, it's Rob from Long Island. Just listening to the Serve 2 podcast, and you talked about a thong, and you were surprised that the Beach Boys sang about thongs, but in the olden days, thong was referred to flip-flops, basically, because it's that

Well, how about that? Finally, learning something on this show. And you know what, Rob? I looked it up in the dictionary, which is I just typed into Google and I typed in definition. And a thong is defined as...

as a narrow strip of leather and or other material used especially as a fastener or as the lash of a whip.

And also a skimpy bathing suit or a pair of underpants. Well, well, well, thank you. I'm glad that my image of the Beach Boys stays untarnished. Thanks to you. All right, next up, a lot of calls from Seattle. And by the way, we are so excited to come back to Seattle on a Wednesday. And you guys are buying tickets for a Wednesday?

Hell yeah, Seattle. We fucking love you. All right, John, what do you got? Hey, Paul. I haven't done this in a long time. This is John. You help me out a lot with my kids, with some questions back in the day. I just want to kind of give you a full circle follow-up. We were at your Seattle show a couple weeks ago where you got the legendary shirt from Ben of Thieves.

And the very next week, I went to CinemaCon, and we got to watch a screening of How to Train Your Dragon with Gerard Butler. And I only had like two seconds to talk to him, and it was either get a picture with him or show him my phone where I took a picture of you wearing the shirt. So I chose option B, and I showed him the picture of your shirt.

you wearing the shirt at the show. He was stoked. He started laughing and he was like, ah, I'm glad it's got a good home. So anyway, that's basically it. It's dumb, but I thought you would enjoy hearing that. All right. Love the show. Bye. Well, John, I'm glad to hear that my advice has gone over well, but let me tell you this. More importantly, you did the right thing. I know that it would be cool to have a picture with Jerry B, but you do a moment like that

As someone who has to deal with a lot of different people in my life and people come up, that's going to stick out in his head. You did done right. You did done right, John. I appreciate you taking your moment to share it with him. I appreciate you calling in. I appreciate you being back on the show, but I'm going to just say, I know it's a bummer not to have a picture with him, but I got to tell you, that story might live on longer with him

And then you are part of it. So, I mean, you're not getting to benefit from it, but just know that was awesome. And a way to go that he's doing a train your dragon screening in Seattle. My buddy produced that movie and way to go for that whole team. They're awesome. We went to visit them as a matter of fact, when they were shooting, when we were in, um, Belfast. Yeah. Um, okay. Next up, Katie. Oh, not Katie Jafar.

What do you got, Jafar? It's Katie from Seattle, but yet again, anyone listening to this is going to know me as Jafar. So fuck it. I guess I'm just Jafar now. I'm calling with an answer for Jason because yelling from the upper balcony like a true monster is absolutely not the best way to convey information. At the time, it just seemed really vital that we clear up what I'm now referring to as crawlgate. Okay.

Okay, so, after the huge reveal about there being a director's cut, Jason wondered what else is different between the two versions, apart from the crawl, which, by the way, I'm pretty sure either replaces or plays over the montage most of us saw with the carbuncle feet, because I think Jason would remember it if he had seen those monstrosities. But it's

But aside from the crawl giving you the entire plot of the movie up front, there's literally only one other significant difference. The director's cut has significantly more nudity. When Jason said he loved the movie so much because it had topless scenes every 15 minutes like clockwork, it made me realize I must have watched the wrong version, because while I saw some big American naturals, I definitely didn't see that many big naturals.

Naturals aside, though, I agree with you. It was way more fun not having to crawl and having to try to make sense of what's happening while absolute mayhem unfolds. Sincerely, thank you so much to everyone who makes the podcast, especially the live shows, happen. Not just for the great episodes, but for giving nerds like me a place to indulge very specific, very strange creative pursuits. When Source 1 happens, I want to be in the costume department. Thanks so much. Take care. Okay.

Katie, you are definitely hired on Surf One. I like this explanation. I'm wrapping my head around it, and I think you're right. I think it is better that we understand the movie less, leave more to our imagination. And thank you for coming in great costume. I will say, if you come out to see Dinosaur, no costumes needed. But I'm

but I believe you might actually be coming to Vancouver. So we hope to see you there. All right. Next up, Luke from, you guessed it,

Seattle. Hey, Paul. Had a great time at the Cirque 2 show. Hoping to catch you guys in a week or so for Dinosaur. So not necessarily correction or omission, but more theory I wanted to posit. The more I think about it, the more I've convinced myself it's true. But I think this movie might have inspired one of the more iconic images in modern pop culture. And that's the image of Homer Simpson just choking the shit out of Bart.

a la Chuck and Bob's dads when the guys come out of the water from competing in the surf competition. They just

wrangle their necks. And the first thing I thought was like, boy, that looks a lot like Homer choking Bart. Also think Matt Groening being a guy in California at that time, being a fellow Pacific Northwest weirdo and someone whose dad made surf movies when Matt Groening was a child, I think it's very possibly true. So that's what I think. I want to give a shout out to Averill and just want to thank her for all

Weird ass movies that she's brought into my life and put me on some watch lists probably. So take care guys. Hope to see you for a dinosaur. Wow. Okay. Well, first of all, thank you for buying a ticket or hopefully buying a ticket to come see us in Seattle. No pressure. But this might be the best connection yet. You know, I gave a lot to Rob from Long Island. I've given a lot. I mean, look, we didn't, there's this actually one of the better corrections and missions we've had.

This is tricky. I don't know where we're going to land at this. All right. Um, but I'll tell you this much, Luke, you were not the only one that saw that Simpsons connection. Um, there were a lot of Simpsons connections, which make me believe your theory even more. Um, so you can check out our, uh, Instagram because on our Instagram, we are going to post all the Simpsons connections that we have found in this movie. And they are great. I mean, buzz Cola references, uh,

There are the transformation of Sparkle. You're going to see. It's good. I believe you. You know what? Luke, you might have really cracked open a whole gold mine here. Anyway, let's go back to the Discord. John Steele writes, Hey, Paul, as a fellow lover of One Crazy Summer, I just want to bring up the appearance of Tom Villard, a.k.a. Clay Stork, Bobcat Goldfleet's on-screen twin, as Jocko the Surf Zombie. Oh, yes, I did notice. And I'm glad you pointed it out. I did not bring it up because...

I felt like I would have to explain so many different parts of it, and it was out of... But yes, John, I saw Tom Villard. I was psyched to see Tom Villard. I love the Stork Brothers. I'm a big fan of One Crazy Summer. And if you've not seen it, what a perfect time to watch it. Last year, we were in Nantucket for the film festival doing a How Did This Get Made show there, and we watched...

One Crazy Summer, which shot a lot on Nantucket back then, and it was fun for the whole family. Anyway, this one's going to maybe boggle your mind from Fun Facts 47, even though Eric Stoltz lost out on sharing the screen with Biff Tannen in Back to the Future. If you don't know that story, look it up.

I don't need to get into it here. He did star in this movie with a different Biff, Biff Maynard, who played Bob's dad. Now, it would have been more of a coincidence if Biff played Chuck, that's Eric Stoltz's dad, instead. Well, yes, that would have been the coincidence we would have needed. And fun facts 47, that feels like a 47th fun fact. Like you got the good ones out of the way and now you're getting like you're digging a little bit deeper than you need to.

JXL writes, I was fascinated by the character arc of Big Head. He starts off with some self-awareness, joking about cheating his way to a 53 on his IQ test, and then tacks on a bow-wow as a sketch phrase early on. As the movie progresses, his dialogue is stripped down to just a sketch phrase. Did he do some lasting damage to himself in that garbage-eating contest? I'm going to say Big Head, I think...

was suffering once he started eating a chain link fence, which was right in the opening scene. You can't digest that. That's too much metal. Uh, I'm in the garbage eating contest at that point. I think his brain was already gone about. Wow. Um, all right. So many great corrections and omissions this week, but man, oh man, what could it be? What could it be? I have to say,

Seattle brought it this week. I want to give Seattle the winner of the week, but that's unfair to give it to all of Seattle. It would be like I'm kind of like, oh, you know, giving them too much. I'm going to give it to Luke from Seattle who pointed out this giant Simpsons connection that I've never heard about or knew about, and I love it. So, Luke from Seattle, you are the winner. And guess what, Luke?

I normally say you win nothing. But guess what? I'm going to give you two tickets to Dinosaur if you want them in Seattle on me. I'm comping you. Just hit us up. I don't know how to do that. But hit us up. Hit us up at howdidthisgetmadeatdearwolf.com. No. Well, hmm. On Discord? You're on the Discord? Yeah. So just hit us up on the Discord. We'll figure it out. Okay. You win. Yay!

Okay. That was more complicated than it needed to be. Anyway, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up the Discord at discord.gg slash hdtgm or call us at 619-P-A-U-L-A-S-K. Coming up after the break, it's...

it's Paul's pick, but first take a listen to this bonus deleted scene from surf two, where we talk about the origins of surf two and it being in 3d and how this movie is connected to our home theater in Los Angeles, the Largo at the Cornette. Um, all right. So take a listen to that. Um, all right, let's see. Uh,

Okay, oh, Joshua Cadman was cast as Johnny Big Head after impressing producers by drinking an entire six-pack during his audition.

There were unsafe work conditions on this film. I know it. That is unsettling to me. That's unsettling. We did hear that the writer-director had suffered a surfing injury to the face, and while on painkillers, he wrote this movie in two days. It was originally called Frankie and Annette Go to Hell. I love that, too. And then he retitled it Surf Death, the movie...

And then basically he made it into Surf Trash, which was sold at Cannes as a 3D film.

Yes. So they sold it at Cannes as a 3D film. And while it was not shot in 3D, they did use a lot of images that they felt like, oh, maybe we'll turn this into 3D. Because some setups seem to be 3D. And then... The scene where the boobs keep slapping the guy in the face, in 3D...

Forget about it. That'd be incredible. I'd never leave my room. Yeah. Now, here's another two interesting connections here. So when they finished the movie, the studio was like, Jason, Jason, come back. I'm just picturing it. And I'm like, Calgon, take me away. When they finished the movie, the studio was like, we can't release this.

So they had to kind of add in a bunch of the new sex and gross-out gags, and they really wanted to capitalize on Revenge of the Nerds. So they originally titled it Surf 2, The Nerds Strike Back. I see. But that came away. And now this is the best part of it. We perform at Largo, which is the Coronet Theater. This film...

premiered at the Coronet Theater at Largo for the overflow. So basically, kids who couldn't get into the premiere went to Largo to watch Scream.

Surf 2. Wow. So that's maybe, I mean, look. So we've been in the same theater that premiered Surf 2? Yeah, what a piece of history. Wait, Paul, can I ask a question? I think we might have covered this. So those boobs were added post- Yes, yes.

Really? Not all. Not all, but more. I think a bunch of the very inserts that are very close cut are the reshoots simply because they don't have any other people around them. And those people might already have their boobs might have fallen by the time they were doing the reshoots. Fallen off? Fallen off.

Falling down. Falling down? There's a lot of sun damage going on. I don't know. You think the sun makes boobs fall down? Yeah, you don't know. Yeah, because they grow away from... Yeah, it's gravity. Look at gravity. Gravity I understand, but you think the sun controls gravity? I think that sun damage doesn't do great things for big American naturals. Oh, so now the naturals are American as they should be. Yeah.

You will be surprised to know that... We're going to build that bra. That the way that they sold this movie at Cannes was around Sparkle.

What? Was she a name? Well, it's Linda Carriage. That was the one they were like, it's going to be a Linda Carriage movie. We'll go see a Linda Carriage. I mean, there it is. This is bizarre that this movie was ever in Cannes. Well, I think they do that to sell a lot of weird movies. It's like a lot of movies come out of Cannes. They're like, oh, we've got the financing for it. The Palme d'Or Award goes to Surf 2.

Nothing says summer like some delicious ice cream. Tillamook ice cream is extremely creamy. It's basically what regular ice cream wishes it could be. Made with high-quality ingredients, each bite is rich, smooth, and creamy. And with the 48-ounce family-size option, there's enough to share. But when the ice cream is this good, sharing is optional.

Whether you're more into classic flavors like vanilla bean or organ strawberry, or craving something decadent like their chocolate collection, which includes flavors like dark chocolate cookies and cream and brownie batter, there's a perfect Tillamook flavor for you. Tillamook Dairy has been around since 1909. It's farmer-owned and loaded with actual dairy experts. And they've got over 200 dairy products, including cheese and cream cheese. Because why settle for just one dairy obsession? I love Tillamook Almond.

ice cream. It's so incredibly creamy. And I have to tell you, my favorite flavor, the vanilla bean. I mean, you can't make a better flavor. They always say, judge your ice cream by your vanilla bean. And I will say, the Oregon strawberry is amazing.

absolutely divine and I'm a huge hazelnut fan. So I'm also chowing down on that chocolate hazelnut. You know, I enjoy it after dinner every night because it's summer and why not have a little bit of ice cream? Find Tillamook ice cream near you at Tillamook.com. That's T-I-L-L-A-M-O-O-K.com.

All right, now Jason is not with me this week, but he has been killing it on Taskmaster, and it's going to be one of the things I talk about on Paul's Picks. Casey Campbell, play us in. ♪

Hey, all you dumb-dumbs, freaks, and geeks. Now it's time for Bold Pick of the Week, and let's go. Ow! All right. All right, people. What have I been up to? What have I been watching? I just did a very big recommendation on my sub stack. I have a sub stack. No big deal. But mine is free. I'm not charging you any money for that. But I did a whole bunch of stuff. And there's one thing I really want to talk about, which is... And I talked about it already on this show, but I'm bringing it up one more time because...

It's just so good. When Things Fell Apart with John Ronson is a podcast that is blowing my mind. I just finished it today, two seasons, eight episodes each, and it really attacks the culture war that we are

finding ourselves more and more in the midst of. And he goes back to all these pivotal moments that start this snowflake that becomes a snowball that then becomes an avalanche where we change our perception on something or the world starts to take a position that is so wrong in a way. It's

I mean, we go back from how the Catholic Church adopted a anti-abortion stance to the myth of kids identifying as furries and using a litter box in classrooms to a disgraced scientist who had become the leading voice on drugs.

Not having vaccines and the documentarian who had it out for Anthony Fauci. All of these things started from the weirdest places, but then took on this giant cultural relevance. I find this podcast just fascinating. It's not done in an incredibly funny way. It's just fascinating.

Very, very interesting. You know, John Ronson, he wrote that book called The Men Who Stare at Goats. It was made into a movie that was not as good, but it was like the CIA experimenting with like psychedelic drugs and telepathy and all this kind of cool. I like John Ronson a lot. I think you will like this podcast.

when things fell apart. I also have been deep into Love Island. You might have heard me on Nick Vile's show last week, The Vile Files, as I broke down my impression of Love Island, first-time watcher of Love Island, and...

and, I gotta say, was shocked at how much tongue is happening in kissing nowadays. I've been married for a very long time, and these people are leading with tongue. Is that a thing? Are we really, like, tongue-first kissing? I mean, like...

I don't mind tongue as a part of kissing, but are we leading with the tongue and not the lips? I don't know. I don't know. This show is making me second guess how people kiss. There is one thing that if you do watch Love Island, please avert your eyes. You had to suck milk out of a teat, a fake teat,

And then spit it into your partner's mouth and then collect all the extra milk. And then when a couple was making out that you didn't like it to throw milk on them.

I just said all those words. Yes, I did. That's what that show does. And I watched it. I did fast forward a lot through that. I couldn't take it. It was disgusting, but that is just a norm. That wasn't even the finale. That was like a mid season fun episode. Uh, Megan, the stallion is in an episode and she kills. Uh, I'm just falling in love with this show. Like I mentioned earlier, I saw F1 really enjoyed F1 loved final destination bloodlines, uh,

Wow. Talk about a franchise that figured it the fuck out. They definitely did. It's so damn good. Oh, I love it so much. You know, I've been doing a little bit of a throwback. Amy Miles, when I was coming up in New York doing the comedy thing, I'm still doing the comedy thing, but when I was coming up in New York, there is an amazing musician. Her name is Amy Miles. She actually composes...

A lot of the music for Amy Poehler stuff, the Good Hang podcast, Amy Poehler's podcast, which is great. Great episode with Mike Schur. If you're a Parks and Recs fan, you would love it. But just if you're a writer, you would love it. Mike is great. Super smart, talented dude.

Amy Miles composed the song for the Good Hang podcast, but she has a bunch of great albums. I've just been listening to Dirty Stay Out. I believe the album is. It's her first album, 2002. Man, she's great. Love Amy Miles. So I'm going to give her a shout out. And then Best Show, Tom Sharpling, 25th anniversary of Best Show coming up this October.

October, Rob Hubel and I were on this past week talking about terrible gifts, really interesting cameos, and so much more. So check out Best Show wherever you get your podcasts. And I'll give one more plug of something that I am in, which is unspooled.

unspooled. Uh, we tackled the New York times, uh, best hundred films of the millennium. And I think we had actually really interesting conversation about that. So if you've not checked out unspooled or you want like a quick episode to just kind of wet your whistle, uh, that's the one to do. Okay. I have more to tell you about, but first this.

You might not know this about me, but my favorite candy is Twizzlers. Hands down, from when I was a kid, there is nothing better than a Twizzler. It is my go-to treat. Let me tell you something. When I saw that Twizzlers was sponsoring this show, I got excited. The fun never stops with Twizzlers, all right? It is the candy to stretch out the fun. Now look, other candy? Too sweet.

Overpowering, but Twizzlers is the perfect level of sweet. It comes with the perfect chewy twist that everyone knows and loves. It is the perfect summer snack companion to unwind at the end of the day and doesn't melt in the summer sun. Oh, I'm walking around with one of those Twizzlers. I'm watching a movie with a Twizzler. There isn't a better movie companion. And Twizzlers have something for every fruity, chewy candy lover out there.

Let me tell you something. Do what Paul Scheer does. Grab yourself a bag of Twizzlers and stretch out the fun. With summer in full swing, you may start to feel that familiar urge. You know,

Do I like these clothes still? Maybe I need a summer refresh. Well, yes, you do. But why waste money on pieces that you'll only wear once for just one season? That's where Quince comes in. Their clothes are timeless. They feel luxurious. They look elevated. And the quality is way beyond what you would expect for the price. I am a Quince man, okay? Because you can get things like just...

Think about this. 100% European linen tops starting at $30. Washable silk dresses and skirts and soft cotton sweaters. Versatile warm weather pieces that you will reach for again and again. I am always looking for shorts. What looks good in a man's short? I, you look, got thighs. I got big thighs. So I can't wear those short shorts. Or maybe I can. Maybe I should do that. Anyway, I went to Quince. I found Quince.

shorts that I absolutely love. The quality is amazing. The price is beyond compare. And you know what? I'm saving a ton of money because I bought shorts like this at another place and they were like quadruple the price. So give your summer closet an

Okay, next week we'll be going from Chef Boyardee's to Provolone Please. Yum. I don't know. This one was hard. That's right. Next week we are watching the 1991 film Onyx.

Oscar starring Sylvester Stallone as snaps Provolone. That's the Provolone that we needed. Um, what's this plot? Well, it's a comedy. It's a farce. It's a remake. Stallone stars as Oscar, uh, where he plays Angela snaps Provolone, a mob boss who promises his dying father that he will leave the world of crime and become an honest businessman. Well, it's, it's really like a stage play, uh, with, uh,

mediocre timing. Anyway, Rotten Tomatoes gives this film a 12% score on the Tomatometer and Michael James of Letterboxd. Well, that's, you know...

Anyone can post it on Letterboxd. Michael James says, this comedy of errors has its set of hits and misses, but it does stay quite watchable, providing a good dose of laughter. It was also fun to catch Stallone in this mode. It's a perfectly laid back guilty pleasure watch on a lazy afternoon. You know, I've said that about movies that I've been in. It just means that it's fine. And you know, honestly, Oscar is fine. I don't recommend that you need to watch it, but you can listen to the trailer.

The year is 1931 and gangster Snap's provolone is in control. The police are powerless. His rivals are helpless. No one in the entire city dares to defy him, except his daughter. I'm a modern 30s woman. Look! Put that away! I'm your father! She'll do anything, anywhere.

With anybody. Your daughter and I are lovers. What? Did he tell you I was pregnant? What? Touchstone Pictures presents Sylvester Stallone in the story of a father What we need is a husband. trying to find someone Don't look at us. who will marry his daughter. I've decided to go away to a convent.
