The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only, so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up? You call me? Hello, everybody. Welcome to my brother, my brother, me and advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy.

Let me check my show notes right here. Yes, it says I'm your middle brother, Travis McElroy.

I'm Griffin. I don't eat doughnuts. My name I got my name from my mommy and daddy at birth. And that's the one I've stuck with Usain. So I don't need to show notes like Travis did. Justin, did you have an intro? You kind of just barreled into this?

Yeah, we barely finished thinking up our count. And you're just like, I don't know. What's that mean? Where are what's happening?

Set the scene as just I'm looking at the movie release calendar and I'm just pretty excited about all the upcoming releases we got coming to the movie theaters.

I mean, is this a watch? Watch? Are we watching for the future watches? All right. We're watching the washroom. What's the slate look like ahead of us?

I want to talk about the upcoming slate in the context of this call. Will people risk getting covid-19 to go see it?

First up, war with Grandpa Fox. Tell me about war with Grandpa awake. I guess I'm just going to guess, is Johnny Knoxville in?

I know you're thinking of bad grandpa on a sequel, although if I'm going to go to war with a grandpa, it's going to be a bad one. Yeah, right.

I'd feel terrible going to war with a nice grandpa. Is this in the Fockers verse or a question? Robert De Niro is Ed. He did one with that.

Zac Efron right. Where he was a bad grandpa. Yes. But in this one, he's a bad grandpa who's going to war with. See, the tagline for this one is Old School versus new school.

And there's a cowboy say, say it again.

Old school versus new school.

Oh, fuck. Yeah. Hey. Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm pretty sure I realize they're different movies in reality, but I'm pretty sure that could also have been the tagline for the Robert De Niro Zac Efron movie or Grumpy Old Men or Grumpier Old Men or Road or Meet the Fockers.

I was far especially. You can use it for Fockers.

You could use it for Camp Nowhere. You could use it. Here's the thing, because I'm all and I'm so glad this taglines out there enticing people with this fucking Pied Piper siren song into these covid filled theaters.

Mm hmm. That they've finally popularized the phrase new.

Cool. I'm seeing that on the regular.

I'm always saying like, oh, did you check out this guy on Instagram called his his board shorts.

That's the new cool baby. What happened to Robert De Niro? Do you think that he went from, like, you know, in Oscar winning movies and I assume he has won an Oscar? I don't know for sure to. Then just like from now on, I'm going to play the grandpa. I'm just going to play, but not even the grandpa in Oscar contender movies. But I'm going to play him in like college comedies where maybe there's like a spring break scene or the whole movie Spring Break.

That's me. That's Robert DeNiro.

Now, none of what you're saying makes any difference whatsoever, because I'm going to talk about Okes Feigley.

OK, Figley. I'm Alex Figley. So the name of a movie or a person or place is going to war with grandpa.

Wait, it's a person you may remember him some from some previous rules like boy Paul Young.

Brian.

Oh, I love Brian. Brian, it's funny.

I'm literally just reading this is his credits. Ready. This is just names boy.

Michael Paul Young, Judd Young, Elias Thompson, Young Brian P. Ben Boy, Little Josh Young Theo Decker, Peter Jeffrey, Tommy Callahan. War with Grandpa. He's playing Peter and Pete's Dragon played Pete.

I don't know if this is the verse that we're taking part in Pete a verse Focker verse crossover film.

Do you see that. That Pete Dragon movie, by the way? No. First thirty seconds total party kill. They just like aside from Beat Pete lives, but they show you the car accident that takes away his paranoia.

OK, that's a super cool Batman movie that shows how he became The Dark Knight.

That's unfortunate, but Pete's getting his revenge on this one because he's going to war with grandpa.

I don't know. My parents died in a car accident. Now it's time to kill my grandpa.

His parents are very much alive. Oh, it is a prequel.

And the the second tagline of this one, it says, uh, old school versus new school.

Oh, fuck me. I know girls again.

Man Grandpa, there's another need to check. There's another tag line.

Oh, I thought you were saying that was the second tagline to as if to say like did you never got the first time. How good is this?

The second tagline is a comedy for the whole family.

Huh. Looking good. Yeah, OK, good. And then the third tag line by Justin Macary is Fuck and everybody slumming it in this one because you've got a Uma Thurman. Oh, boy. To Rob Riggle. Oh, boy. Parents of Peter who have given away Peter's room to Robert De Niro, the salty ed.

So are these going to war with this kid? Man, first thing.

I was kind of hoping that it was later. All I'm saying is it's starting to shape up like a home alone kind of war where probably pranks and such. But I want to I wanted it to be like maybe Robert De Niro's character lead was the dictator of one country and a young boy ascended to the throne of another country and he had to go to war with his own grandfather. That's a very touching Oscar bait piece.

Well, Dennis the Menace sort of. There's press there's a super precedent established by Dennis the Menace who did perpetrate war crimes on poor, poor old Walter Matthau, or at least an actor who looked a lot like Walter.

Now, it was her mouth. And sometimes I think about that scene where he puts chocolates in as his fake front teeth. Look really sad that briefly back when he was the new cool.

That's the new cool. That's the super president. Walter Matthau was recently elected.

Our nation's first super president is in charge of the other president and he is dead.

Cheech Marin's in this one. Oh, Jane Seymour. Christopher Walken. Wow. They're not making any other movies. Hi. Is this the only movie they were making? Yes.

You get a call and you're like, I guess I'll be in the war with Grandpa. Nice dude.

That's the script. That was my agent. Is there any other movie? What is this big? Oh, that was Jane Seymour.

Sorry, it sounds like that was Jane Seymour. Sounds like a tape recorder that's being thrown down a flight of stairs.

Oh, I have to take her.

Oh, that was my impression of Torgau. I'm going to war with Grandpa. So, yeah, he thought my problem.

Thousand seven hundred and twenty five IMDB users have rated this film already. They are sitting at five point three in just their excitement or I guess pleasure.

They Verrity derive from the promotional materials surrounding the war with Grandpa. Is that, is that fair to say?

Yeah, I think, I think man here's the thing is that you got dinero, you got Lorcan.

This movie sounds like it's going to have a lot of sort of mature themes. These two fellows are always doing films with mature themes. So I'd love to take my family to this film, but I have no evidence to point me towards the conclusion that this film would be satisfactory for me to watch with my whole family.

Yeah, I'm with Griffin on this one.

It seems like this might be fun for some of my family, like maybe the older kids or they're downplaying it and it's just good for the younger kids.

What's amazing is I can actually break these ratings IMDB ratings down by demographic. So if we zoom in, if we enhance here, kids under 18 are given this one, a six point three, OK, adults older than forty five are giving it a five point two. The kids are saying, yes, I would like to go to war with grandpa. And the grandparents are saying, actually, I would prefer that we not go to war.

Well, they know now. Now, if I'm not mistaken, Justin, this is out of ten saying that six point three is I would like to go is awful generous.

It's a it's a sort of cautious in theory. I would like to go to war with Grandpa.

It's as if to say I'm afraid of what the other options might be. If this is the best one, then yes. But if there's something better, I would like to do that.

Here's the let's let's let's this is the episode. Let's really get into the war with Grandpa.

It's called The War with Grandpa, which seems to intimate a a back and forth, a firing of just looking at the trailer here, prank salvoes that seemed to escalate fairly quickly.

Here's Robert De Niro putting foam sealant on his face instead of shaving cream that would tear the man's flesh. That would render the grandpa.

That's that's an emergency room. That's emergency room for sure. For sure.

Apparently sneaks a very big, poisonous snake into his bed while he's sleeping. So now that's attempted murder. This film, it would be pretty fucking wild and also not suitable for me to bring my whole family to. If the grandpa reciprocates even once the hey, this is a war on grandpa.

Grandpa is not going to pull out an aluminum baseball bat like now.

My fucking turn. It's not going to do it.

He's just going to take his licks, I guess.

Now, here's the thing. The Girvin I would give an Oscar to a movie and lynch a child of. Mercilessly pranks and I'd say prank with quotes around it, an old man, and those pranks include poisonous snakes and such, and the old man is just like, please, I just came for a visit because I love my family. I just wanted to spend time with my grandkids to get to know you want you to think that maybe the title is actually not.

Maybe the prank war is like the first five minutes and then seven minutes in Oxford gets drafted into the war with Firebox and he has to go to war with his grandpa.

They're both conscripted into the battle against A.I. and he has to go to war with his grandpa also. OK, here's my fanfic for the movie.

OK, that the prank war, it's the first five minutes of the movie. And then Grandpa says, you know, this isn't the first war I've been in and know vaguely says, what do you mean, grandpa? And so then Grandpa starts telling him about the Great War that he fought in. And we can only go there with him. We could fill that in with, like, whatever war is like. Yeah, yeah.

We'll focus grouped that one time when we remake this movie. Yeah. And so then Feigley is like there with his grandfather as a grandfather is like telling him the story. And you see young grandpa. Yeah. Which is what we'll call the character. And like his time in probably France, I mean I just assuming France when I was young grandpa can we just call him Dad and.

Yes, OK.

And he's drinking a lot of absinthe and then basically it just becomes like Moulin Rouge and it's fun for the whole family.

That's where we get the family fun aspect. Right. I do see a clip in this trailer between the knocking him off a roof while he's dressed as Santa Claus and putting a poisonous snake in his bed where the grandpa and this grandson give a hug to each other. I'm not sure where in the sequence of events that's going to fit in, but it's fun for the family is here and it's cool for its new cool.

Well, you have to imagine the movie ends with them reconciling, right? Or does it end with them? Like, I still fucking hate your guts.

I don't know, man. This movie was finished and ready to be released February 23. Twenty eighteen.

Oh, it had to mature in the bottle. OK, that's what I usually a the barricades comedy. Get that. OK, finish.

It's got, it's got peaty notes. Oh. As Pete's Dragon notes.

I wish I could be there with Bob Bobby when he opens the newspaper and sees that big one sheet in Variety I go see the war with Grandpa and he has to sit there and stare at it for five solid.

They didn't put this movie out and then he'll just quietly say to himself, there's no fucking way I did this movie. This does not seem right.

Did they? Let me make three of these how many of these movies I make?

I told them the hologram Robert De Niro was to be used only in case of national emergency, not for films like The War with Great.

Oh, no. I'm seeing here on IMDB in the trivia that this movie is made all well with deleted scenes from Cool Grandpa. Well, yeah, they Oak's Feigley was just reacting to footage that they already had.

Right. OK, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh and a little bit it says here just a little bit of baby floggers.

She's just such a baby fossickers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was in there just sort of a sky captain and the world of tomorrow and just kind of prank and a tennis ball. But they, they, they put in DeNiro using Adobe after effects. Yeah. I could, anybody could do that. My kid could do that and they had me, they had me do the ADR, they had Travis do the ADR.

Travis give me Travis say like you just say say hey, hey, is this a snake in my bed. There's a fucking there's a fucking snake in my fucking bed, you little fucking piece of shit trying to kill me. Yeah.

It says that in the script it leaked on GitHub and you read that one line, it's like you're going to throw a beehive at my penis.

He said, yeah, yeah.

You're going to throw a fucking beehive in my penis and my balls do it. I love it, Travis.

I love the sting. And the ball stuff is so funny because it feels like like this this film is for the whole family. So we actually show balls.

I'll allude to it. We want to paint the image. So it's like a Pixar thing. We're like, OK, you can say a dirty thing and then the parents will get it and think about like sexy stuff.

Got I got it. Got it. OK, let me try again. Try again. But don't care so much. You're going to throw a fudge and beehive at my fudge and genitals so they sting my old man testicles.

Now it's a little too clinical. I just really. Well let me try. I can't say fuck it and don't say five. And let's hope this is going to this is real now. OK, OK, OK, what, you're going to throw that Ghedi? Is that OK? OK, I got it.

I got it. I got to go back to San Fucking and we'll fix it.

OK, what are you fucking asshole. That better now.

Hold on the line there that you gave and that was an inspired read is what are you fucking asshole and what. Are you ok. I like it but at this point his balls have been so stung so terribly by these hornets.

Oh, these fucking bees are stinging my fucking old balls. And I'm here trying to flirt with this lady at this pool party. And you threw these fucking bees at me and I'm going into anaphylactic shock. I can't breathe. And you took my EpiPen and you smoked it like a vape. And now I'm dying because of my allergic reaction to these fucking bees stinging my fucking balls.

Guys, the reviews are in on this fucking movie, The War with Grandpa. Everyone is talking about it somehow. It has over 70 rating on Google.

I just to give you some of the highlights, here's for a four star review from Anthony.

This is out of five. I should. Oh, wow. I did a little bit more. One of the funnier movies I watch these days, reminiscent of the epic Home Alone series.

I thoroughly enjoyed the gentle comedy, which I bet is fucking right on the money we already established.

There's a scene with a snake in the bed.

I had thoroughly enjoyed the gentle comedy provoked by the war between a grandpa and a sixth grader grandson.

There's anonymity without malice, revenge without vengeance.

I don't know why he became fucking William Faulkner halfway through this review, but here we are, lovely little family movie.

If anyone ever referred to our jokes in the things that we do on these shows as gentle comedy, I feel like that would be a pretty huge letdown for me.

I feel like I, I don't and I'm not saying we're, you know, edgy. We're edgy.

I don't think that that's true. Although we did do an extended bit about throwing a beehive at Robert De Niro's reproductive organs genitals. I think we're just sort of normal comedy. I don't know what gentle comedy entails.

He misspelled genital. Does that mean does that mean that it's just not funny? And it's like, is that why gentle comedy is.

It's funny because Brad Biraj says this movie was hilarious, loved it throughout. Funny all the way.

A total time killer and great robot. Oh, God, they're a great movie to watch with family and have a great time together. This movie will make you laugh a lot. A total family entertainer.

How a a TV, a total family entertainer, always looking for those. Now, here's what I will say.

If someone was describing something I had made and they were like, oh, so funny, so wonderful, really killed some time, I think that that last one would take away from the first two. Yeah. Oh.

Just like I liked the way that when I sat down to watch it, it was one time and when I was finished watching it, it was a later time. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed how time continued its linear flow.

Here's what a five star review you hardly get to watch movies like that these days. Well, I loved it. I had all the favorite cast there.

We are watching this movie.

Is it now? Can I watch it? I don't think so. How come they get to watch it?

One is three stars at five movie. This is kind of the other side of the coin, which is very positive about what?

With great quality or any bad shit about war.

What a great movie for kids only.

Or maybe a family, maybe a family of kids. So I know one thing.

You know, the Hardman's from worst president ever, that kind of deal, you get like some good laughs in typical comedy performance. And damn, Robert De Niro is very old.

Don't be stupid.

Just to Robert De Niro. Rodriguez Nero is very old, but still kicking, still kicking ass are still like it is that there's that long scene I'm watching on the trailer now where Robert De Niro just kicks that kid a lot.

Yeah, that's probably what he's referring to.

It's actually here's one five savu five out of five stars greatest movie ever.

It's actually a pretty good movie. Oh, I love the scenes between grandpa and his grandchildren, which I would assume for what I've gathered has got to be the majority of. Yeah, right.

They were very sparing with the interactions between the grandpa and grandson. They just sprinkled it in.

This is just a total. Family entertainer, the total family, a total family entertainer, Angie says, I love this movie also, the characters are really pretty, huh?

Oh, well, give variety. All right. All right. But not the actors, huh? The characters like there, maybe they have an inner they have an inner beauty.

I think that's maybe what we're talking about.

You can see the twinkle in his eye if that first name or first and last, by the way, it's a symbol.

It's like I just want to I've got I want to go down the quick head and all these other five star reviews. Awesome movie after so long, especially in covid tone. I like that one because it's like, listen, if the coalition had a habit, I probably would not be enjoyed this flick. But right now it's about all I can stomach. So, yes, good on that front. Yes, good. It's it's like, you know, in the scene where it's is like I, I've been crawling through the desert forever and I find like a stagnant pond and I'm so excited, you know what I mean?

Like, I always drink that day to day.

It's not just me crawling through the desert, Travis. It's my whole fucking Gochujang family. Yeah.

And then we have we find not one family of kids, Griffins, Feighan style family of kids, his little his little town style kids.

It is many oases, a total family entertainer.

Travis like bring in into noise, bring into funk a total package like Blue Man Group, baby it.

No one's upset by Blue Man Group. Right. I can't. I mean, I don't know. OK, we usually find out somewhere.

Hey, do you guys think Blue Man Group has done a zoom yet?

Do you think they're doing private Zim's probably just with each other. Excellent movie.

Good. Good. Love it.

That's like they got asked by Google as they were trying to get to work on time. Like Google is like, hey, real quick, what do you think. Yeah, it's good.

This good movie. Yeah. Yeah. James Haire says books, but all don't know that. Wait, wait, wait one more time.

Books, but all too are quite like this movie is a buxom black hole or it's time to explore that.

Or maybe the book that or with Grandpa is based on Grandpa's war.

The last movie you here, five stars from three days ago. And this is I this is actually it seems to sum it up good, but could be more all caps fun.

Good, but could be more fun. Hmm, I think it looks like it could be any more fun. Do you think Grandpa dies in this movie?

Yes, no, absolutely. Oh, OK.

See, I don't actually think so.

Oh, interesting. No, I think it's like I think it's like I think this whole movie might just be a ploy to get people to be on better terms with their grandparents. And I think it's I think it's that this boy just completely just this is just savages, this this older gentleman, and then not because of a prank.

I'm not saying that the boy, like, pushes him off a ladder. Oh, he's dressed as Santa Claus and he falls, although he does do that. Or like he puts a poisonous snake in his bed and the snake bites him and he dies from that, although he does do that also unrelated thing. And then the boy's like, man, I should have been like cooler to him. Here's what I think happens.

Yeah, sure. All that prank stuff, everything we see in the trailer, that's the first five minutes. And then the grandfather gets bit by stink and dies. And the boy is so sad that he goes to heaven to fight the angels to save, to bring back his grandfather.

So much like and it's been a while since I've seen it. But what I'm pretty sure happens and what dreams may come, it's what happens and what dreams may come is what happens in Dante's Inferno.

It's what happens in The Poisonwood Bible.

This movie is a movie. It's a total family entertainer. It's also a total literary omnibus. Yeah, the boy goes to war with God to bring back his grandfather's soul. And and it's fun for the whole family.

Teams up with fucking Constantine. Yep. Yeah. Fuck yes. Fuck yes. Oh, God, yes. Oh, and maybe like maybe there's a fallen angel trying to get his wings back. It's a whole thing off. Fuck, I'm excited for this movie.

You guys, speaking of this movie, I don't want to like, diminish because I think that things are often made more beautiful by their imperfections. But I did want to jump into some good. OK.

Oh, again, the Internet, you know.

Yeah. Sherlocks already added this one. Pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig. And I think. But you know what?

You know what I like about these gifts, Justin, it's give me an early look at the war with grandpa. I'm getting a sneak peek into some of the scenes before me.

A common American is able to watch and enjoy this.

Oh, did they release like France, perhaps.

I mean, there's all these reviews and goofs. Let's see, we got a couple of characters. Ed is told at Jerry's friend's funeral that he died in his sleep while skydiving.

While this is a funny joke, in real life, all parachutes for sport jumping are equipped with an automatic activation device device designed to activate the parachute to open if the user becomes unconscious or otherwise unable to deploy the parachute when getting too close to the guy who wrote this.

Now, what stupid fucking idiot wrote this movie? Yeah. Can I hey, can I point out a Ghufron that goof. Yeah, yeah. Fucking goof. If he died in his sleep, he's dead before he hits the ground. It doesn't matter if the parachute goes off or not. You goof. Yeah.

If he explodes into old jelly then it's like I'm saying he's dead before he hits the ground. Yeah. I would love to know how they did the analytics on that one, but yes. Travis, that's an excellent.

Can I say this and I say this though it is fucking funny, right. Funny. He died in his sleep while skydiving. Boying.

OK, this is the good Ed tells his movie.

Ed tells his granddaughter that, quote, Pretty much every foundation I dug, I found a marble. Or to add, quote, If you count all those marbles in the glass jar, you'll know how many houses I built.

Pretty much implies he did not find a marble at the start of every house and he found one or two, which means he found one, two or more circumstances which were left out of houses he built, let alone vacuum.

I think the jury will find I don't want to pick holes in Mr. De Niro's film, but what the fuck?

Why would there be marbles? Just so this film opens with a different grandpa's funeral.

So there's got to be a grandchild who goes one his war, who's won his war, or at the very least experienced it, who goes to Pete's Dragon?

And he's like, don't you don't want to.

I'm telling you, I'm going to live with this weight, this guilt for the rest of my fucking days on this earth.

Don't do it. Pete's Dragon. Oh, shit. Yeah, but he does it anyway. This movie is a back door sequel. The problem child's. Yeah. OK, yeah. That kid is like I murdered my grandpa and it's great. I get all the like sweets and treats I want. Yeah.

Also inspired by The Poisonwood Bible Propter got a couple real quick plot hole skip variety. OK, Ed demonstrates his ignorance is simple. Electronic devices such as the self checkout, an iPad and a drone. If I can take a second just to kind of keep my sides from splitting, I just got to say that's fucking sounds funny. Yeah.

Yet he somehow manages to log on to his grandsons, presumably password protected computer, find the game. His grandson has been playing into it, locate and subsequently destroy the castle he has been building for three years.

Oh, my God. I got to see this flick. That's how I know, right? I got to see the seat.

I just want one time in my life to see the old Raging Bull get in there and tear down some kids. Minecraft castle. That's where he's at now.

Oh, boy. Am I talking to you. Not while I'm gaming. Can I eat all your red stone? I figured out a way to eat all your red, so I hate it all. No more switches for you. Have Bob made you a fortnight?

I do the forbidden dances and got champion.

Now I'm twitch streaming. But that's just for me, that's not it's not part of the prank and this is where I do, I think we should probably put a pin in the intro and move on to show after this.

But I have one more plot. OK, great, great.

And this may be actually getting into a little bit of boiler room.

OK, so skip ahead about 10 minutes, skip ahead 10 to 15 minutes and make it 20 and take 20. Just stop listening. Just stop listening.

We're going to have the money zone soon, so don't actually skip, OK? Just start listening to it like five times. Justin has to say that to keep the advertisers happy. But I want you to go into this film with fucking virgin ears and his eyes and a heart and soul of a child's mind. So don't listen to this next fucking part. No matter what you do. It's. I'm I put a ring curse on this next 20 minutes.

Nice.

And don't interrupt me for a second, OK? After the many accidents at the birthday party, Sally is angry with Ed for citing the war as being the cause of all the events that transpired.

However, almost everything major that happened at that event, with the exception of the ejector seat there, started as a direct result of a rat chewing through a cable that is not connected with the war at all, therefore not his nor his grandson.

This sounds like fun for the whole family. Sounds like a fucking total family entertainer is what, like fucking rat to like a cable that makes it a joke to see. Oh, you know what? To see that a party flock.

That's funny. It's really funny.

And I'm kind of losing old versus new. Cool. Get it in theater.

I still don't even want to joke and say no, this one's coming. Yeah. So that's our first movie in the intro segment. That was supposed to be one of many films we talked about. The war with Grandpa is coming. Don't see it in theaters. It's going to be out October 9th. Twenty twenty. You know, you've waited two years to see this flick without knowing it. I think you can probably wait until it's out on a home viewing options.

And that is our first ad.

And now let's move on to some more ads in the money. If you want to hire a family to watch war with grandpa, with you, you're going to need zip recruiter, I don't know, zip recruiter.

Yeah, let me just put a quick disclaimer here.

I don't know that you can hire a family for a zip recruiter, but if you could hire a family, zip recruiter would be the place to do it. Right, because it's hard to find the right person and it's hard for you. Why not switch the zip recruiter? You can try it for free at zip recruiter Dotcom. My brother zip recruiter will send you the best candidates for the role you're looking for in around five minutes or so. And you can hire them the next day if you want to, and what the results like that, it's no wonder that four out of five employers who posted Zipcar to get a quality candidate within the first day.

And right now you can try it for free. That's right. Free at zip recruiter dot com slash my brother. That's zip recruiter dot com. Oh, my brother.

So let's say you're watching the war with grandpa and you're seeing the iconic scene where Robert De Niro and as we know, salty and salty ad is in his fucking cardigan and Kabi cap and looking.

So choice fucking guy.

He's cool, he looks cool, he looks sexy. And you're like, I want to get that look. I want to get the war with grandpa.

Look, let me suggest that you turn to stitch fix.

It's a personal styling company that makes getting the clothes you love effortless. Yeah, it's a completely different way to shop.

It's all about you every time to get started. Go to stitch fix dotcoms like my brother and you set up a profile.

You say like what kind of clothes budget you're working with or which scene of war with grandpa you want most closely to emulate with your fashion.

If you want to just give them a timecode, they could probably just like pluck, pluck the outfit right there and just say, like, OK, I can look right at the second you are looking and get that exact outfit.

They will sync with war with Grandpa to find the exact look.

Or maybe, you know, maybe you're not trying to get a style based on the look for more with grandpa. Maybe you need an outfit that's appropriate for having a war with grandpa. Watch party with the rest of your covid pot. Absolutely.

Hey you like movies without coming up with movie ideas over the course of an hour. Because that's what we do every week on Story Break, a writers room podcast where three Hollywood professionals have an hour to come up with a pitch for a movie or TV show based off of totally zany prompts.

Like that time we reimagine Star Wars based on our phones autocomplete. Luke Skywalker is a family man and it's Star Wars, but it's a good idea.

How about the time we broke the story of a bunch of Disney Channel original movies based solely on the title? On the poster? OK, there is a 50 foot woman. This is Go with a Guy all the time.

We finally cracked the Adobe Photoshop feature film. Sam Tool is your Woody. And then the autofill is the new Buzz Lightyear joining us. We have a good time imagining all the movies.

Hollywood is too cowardly to make. Story Break comes out every Thursday on maximum fun. I don't know why I'm using this voice now.

Question or Yahoo! Well, I.

I feel I feel like we need to I, I have to make an apology and maybe you guys can join in too, because I feel like we've been talking a lot about we've been talking a lot about your grandpa, but we've been talking a lot about how it's fun for the whole family. Yeah. And I feel like we should clarify, like that includes found family, you know what I mean?

Because not everybody has a good relationship.

Maybe your grandpa is more of like a Doc Brown scenario where you have like a found grandpa you want to go to war with.

And I just want to make it clear that, like, I think it's fun for the whole found family as well.

I just don't want you know, you're sitting there with maybe two roommates or. Yeah. You know, like your coven or like, you know, just your high school friends. So you're still really tight with and you talk about how good you did in the big game, like no matter who it is. Right.

I think every literally everyone will enjoy watching war with Grandpa.

I think that this movie is really going to bring people back together after we've been pulled apart by covid.

Yeah, that's actually a great point, Travis. You've got to remember that when you're watching war with grandpa at your house, you're actually watching with everybody else on the planet. Yeah. That is also enjoying this film. And that's something you can't you can't get for free.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, everybody came from the same sort of Adam and Eve. So we're all family, if you think about it.

Yeah. That's so true. Uh huh. That's so true.

We all came up out of Abraham. So we it's all we're all family.

All family. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh huh. And, you know, I think maybe we should do like a widely synchronized and I'm not saying me, I'm saying the world. This is a wide the whole world should just all watch war with Grandpa the exact same time. I think that could be cool.

I think that I could like to buy the world a limited time. I'm streaming copy world with grandpa for them to enjoy and then we'd all be united.

Yeah, and here's here's like can I put like a little spin on it. Yeah. We're not going to schedule that time.

I want everyone to just feel it. Oh, I want them to feel like your coming moment. We're like, this is it. And you're right, it's everybody will just will all sync up. And it might be now, it might be ten years from now.

But like we there will come a moment where all of our breeding patterns and our heartbeats and yes, our periods will all sync up and we'll just know it's the time to watch war with Grandpa.

Well, I mean and also have the title song, War with Grandpa, the chance the rapper did for the soundtrack of War with Grandpa.

So maybe we'll just like play like you'll just you're just going to hear it and not from any kind of a radio or CD player.

No, you're just going it's just going to be you're just going to hear it and you'll know that it's time to race to the Blu ray player and or sorry, streaming your your your Roku and or you go on your Goku to watch this film.

Or however we're watching movies at that point, because, like I said, it might be a long time from now. Am I reading this right?

This movie's four and a half hours long.

How could that be? How could that possibly be?

Not nothing was left on the cutting room floor. It's all on screen. And I mean, including like where they would cut and, like, reset and make film scenes. Again, they didn't edit anything out, do they? Made it kind of like Boyhood, where they've been shooting this movie since Feigley was born.

And he's twenty six now. I would love to talk about Tim Hill. Oh, the I want to pivot a little bit. I really thought we were about to do a question.

No. Yeah, no, I just want to get this one last. Yeah. Real quick or we'll get we'll get we'll get to the Abbasid super quick.

I want to start the episode very soon. I did want to hit this one last thing about Tim Hale.

And just because you're his son now, who is that like? He's the director of a film called The Walrus.

Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Of course. Of course. Yes.

So let's pretend we're we're doing like a maybe this is like our if we're if we're we're blank, Chagga. We're doing like our blank check mini series.

Here are the films that we'd be enjoying in this series, Muppets from Space.

Sorry. Just before you continue, are you going chronologically back to front or front to back back from the Muppets from space?

Max Cable's big movie, Great Third, but fun flick the SpongeBob Square Pants movie.

He did not direct, so we can skip that one. Fortunately, the one of these and I would have wanted to watch.

Fuck, you don't want to watch me. Little Rip's ass dude Max Keeble is a fine film.

Tears it up every every viewing I've I've I've worn out the spindles on my guess. All my VHS of Max Keppel's.

Here's the right here. OK, so then he's got Gaffield tale of two kids. Oh wow. All right. Oscar winner Alvin and then Alvin and the. All right. And then hop, huh, if you remember that, where Russell Brand brought you a little bunny firing on all cylinders, then Grumpy Cat's worst Christmas ever.

Oh, and then for six years, nothing, huh? Well, once you nail it, you know what I mean? Yeah.

And then in 2020, he's got both the SpongeBob movie Sponge on the run and the war with Grandpa.

So Tim Hill is back and he's on Foxfire. Can I say, OK, man, when you started his filmography, I was not expecting this laundry list of certified hits.

Yeah, huge hits. All bad, huge, but all recognizable, though recognizable hits. There's been one thread, tiny.

I feel like we have probably talked about Tim Hils movies on this podcast more than a lot of huge directors, I'd say we have definitely, definitely talked about Gaffield Tale of Two Cities.

Oh, I'm almost certain that it also inspired an episode Long Fever Dream, like the one we currently find ourselves embroiled.

Well, this is just the intrigue of we'll get to the episode, but we're going to get to I'm saying that sometimes you get these and it's like, you know, college, bobsled, three or whatever, and you're like, why?

Who is this person? But Tim Hill has had a storied career. Tim Hill has also done some amazing work on TV.

Welcome Freshmen Who Rocko's Modern Life, Sherlock Blam Action League. Now, don't mind if I fucking do this one with Grandpaw really good.

What if your grandpa fucking rips rips ass right alongside Max Cable's saying we're going to look so smart when this movie fucking rips ass.

You have convinced me. I am. I feel comfortable being swept away in. Sorry. What.

So I don't think I could say it like that again if I try it again.

Just like you come for the ball, come to the ball. I'm comfortable with the ball in the arms of Tim Hill.

Yeah. To, to Tim. He'll come over to the ball. Katari me away to Tim Hill.

Where does he go from here.

The grandpa's been bad. We've gone to war with him. He's got to be reborn the next year.

Love Grandpa struggles in peace time now.

The next one is going to be love grandpa. And people are going to see that and be like love, grandpa. That sounds a little gross for me.

And then Tim's going to have to go on assorted door-To-Door grassroots marketing campaign and be like, no, you pronounce it love grandpa like a command.

Oh, it was like love actually. No love grandpa.

Love Grandpa. You must love Grandpa. You have seen him be bad. You have seen him be dirty. You have seen him at war.

We must now you must love Grandpa. Must love Grandpa. Can we real quick, I don't I hate to do this on the show, but real quick, can I just can we just enjoy together the trailer for With Grandpa?

Like a good use of our time. OK, give me just one second to get it. Kind of a fire sport spooled up here. I'm going to do a little blue tooth pairing, I imagine.

Well, I'm doing this.

What if I was Ed from what we're trying to do, would be able to figure it out. You couldn't do it. I was trying to do this. Can you fucking imagine you'd be losing it? You'd be absolutely. I'm already losing it, just picturing in it I'm losing it, thinking about it. Yeah, it's really funny.

I got to say, Juice, it has taken you about as long as it would take salty ed to figure it out.

I haven't seen it here. Yeah, right here about that.

Like a bust to me.

It's kind of bringing us all together, like our whole family stuff, our love.

So it really is a total family annotator war with. Grand. This one's got four point seven million views, more views in our entire lives right now, it's OK here.

OK, let's do this.

The war with Grandpa official trailer. He's in a grocery store. Can I help you so you can help me find Maria Auberry is gone. We're completely self checkout now.

Please, please, can I just please get back?

Really gets arrested. This can't keep happening. It hits a mailbox. You're not putting me in a home. What if it were our home? Oh, my God.

Hi, Grandpa. Hello, sweetheart. You thought this place that she gave me my grandson's room. How do you like your room?

Look, I didn't want it to be this way either. I just want my room. Jesus, kid rented it.

I want to put up with it. I have my room back or else it's more comfortable. Declaration of war. Give me back one of the lines and face the consequences.

OK, ok.

You got your wish. It's got a power drill praying for you. And we get this too. His shirt was off in that same state.

You want me to help you and your buddies will beat up your grandson and his buddies because the two of you can't figure out some way to live in the same funny way when you put it like that.

I mean, why, why? Why do this kind of aggressive, shameless then sympathique? I don't know your Marine. Oh, my God, it's Christopher Walken.

I would just say, let's do this.

Even remember, she don't need you die for I just get worn out just like this guy. They're playing dodgeball, why are we doing it this way when you have peace talks?

You need someone neutral to mediate. It is true a cookie was given. That is funny.

Yeah. And I think your grandpa might be a ninja. We got to end this somehow. It's off from the ladder onto a bouncy castle. She said he said it was Christopher Walken dressed as Santa is very cool.

OK, and then here comes the. And there's a snake. Yeah, it's like a godfather. It's like I kind of like everything.

So that is why with Grandpa coming to theaters, what did we say? Let's try not theater. So.

Oh no. Sorry. Sorry. Only in theaters. So don't even try to see this one.

That is going to be to you know, I have been very good about this whole quarantine thing that is going to be sort of an incredible rigid hell for me to tell.

Yeah, too tempting. The people are out there loving this movie, enjoying this movie.

The War with please, no spoilers. Now, listen, there was a moment in that movie, if I'm not mistaken. And granted, it was playing clearly through Justin's phone. Mm hmm. Well, Jane Seymour.

Yes. Who is the Mets? Maria, I believe, is the Maria that he has.

OK, Justin's putting the pieces together. She works at the grocery store, at the grocery store. She and she they probably will.

Yes. OK, but and she. Is she Pete's mom? No, no. Oh, my Thurmon is Pete's mom.

Yeah. OK, why? I was confused. Maria is his his sexual partner.

Yeah. No, they're going to they're going to talk for sure. Uma Thurman I imagine has no knowledge of of this conflict.

That's why I was confused, because it did sound as though the mother character was like, yeah, let's beat up my son.

No, no, it's no, it's it is. I guess it is salty. Ed's lover.

Yeah. So they're trying to beat up a child. They're going to try to kick ass. And Jane Seymour says she doesn't even know she's not joking. Yes, she says that.

Yeah.

That to beat up some that should be a moment where even if you're Ed and you do, you are craving her waive.

Right. And and you have deep beef with your grandson. But then this other human being seems very excited. That's where you should go.

Like, oh, yeah, you should call somebody about that man.

I would rather oh, Bob De Niro, give me a four alarm ass weapon and delete my fucking Minecraft safe.

I'd like that. I'd love that. I'd let that do. Just fuck me up with a two by four.

I let him anywhere near my Minecraft village.

I love it if he if he was like a twenty minute seed of him destroying Minecraft Gazal.

And then Oak's was like, yeah, OK.

And just reload like it's Cochiti. I got it loud. Say, Yeah, it's in the cloud Dundy.

I wish I was there. Also a moment in there that was just, just brushing up against a little stolen valor. Yeah.

Yeah, a little bit stolen valor for Chris Rock. But you know what, Elanor? You see, I'm in a Santa suit, so that's stolen valor twice in one trailer. Chris You sure? Just gently brushing up stolen valor. Yeah, I'm the real Santa Claus. How dare you, sir, I need a 10 percent discount at the movie theaters.

Oh, holy shit. The real one. OK, so the most baffling shot this trailer.

If you're watching this trailer, you're watching this trailer and you're loving it. I don't want to distract you. Do it from you're enjoying it.

But I do want to draw your attention to one fifty five where I want to give you a shot for shot breakdown down because I cannot make fucking heads or tails.

OK, ok. We see in sequence. Sorry, let me slow down the playback speed to the slowest possible.

OK, so we see a shot of a at the top of the ladder is Bob Nero. He's hanging Christmas lights on it. He gets shot by the wire. We see an elf look up from the snow and Bobby D is falling and you know, a little child elf probably OK. I think it's OK. He's dressed as an elf. He looks up and sees his grandfather falling.

The ladder is falling backwards into a bouncy castle.

And we see a shot of Ed looking very distraught in his Santa cap as he falls plummeting. Probably he has to assume to his death. Yeah, then we see a wide of him falling the bouncy castle.

Let's hope it's a stunt double. Probably. I'm just going to say a red herring for the trailer.

And then the next shot at the cutaway is someone. In a Santa costume landing on the ground, so like we see different, it's different, it's Santa falling on the ground and it's Christopher Walken.

So this shot has taken us a composite of bobbed falling into a bouncy castle.

And then he rises again as Christopher Walken dressed as Santa.

Yeah, it's almost like he died and then Feigley had to go and bring the soul back. But the soul got lodged in Christopher Walken, if you will.

Here's the part that fuckin does piss me, OK?

Oh, this is my favorite segment when we do when we talk about this movie for an hour.

But listen, just the one thing, OK, there's this is maybe one in the trailer of the war with grandpa, at least on the movie clips upload at one, we see a scene of Oak's and Salty ad Huggett.

Huh. So, like, I guess I guess that's how it ends. Thanks. Right. Like, why do we even have the entire fucking war read? Apparently at the end of it, they're just going to get excited about this war with grandma or whatever. I know it ends with peace just then.

It's a red herring. Do you not worry? That is something we put in the trailer that will not be in the actual movie because in the end, they mutually assured destruction. This is what I decided now.

Layers within layers within layers.

They've both put snakes in each other's beds.

And as the fangs sink in and they feel the injection of venom, they will both say, we weren't so different, you and I, as they stare into each other's eyes and die simultaneously, like in the notebook.

Now, I hate to continue to ruin this, but we do zoom out to see that Christopher Walken is has been watching this entire scene play out from about three feet away.

And the camera pans, pans down and we see in his hand a bottle labeled snake venom after that. Yeah, yeah. And he says, I guess it's true.

We are all but shadows. And he walks up the window. Yeah, he walks out the window. He's wearing he is dressed as Santa.

Any falls to his death. OK, well, I would just say the fault is that his fingers, lifeless fingers and curl the ball, a bottle of snake venom and, um, it just starts screaming. She knows she's lost everything.

And this is not the first time this has happened to her. By the way, we find out about this later. But like, she's already lost an entire extended family. Yeah.

To snake related acts in the distance. There's just a man in a white suit who check something off of a clipboard and then vanishes.

The shitty thing is it's not even the snakes aren't even because of the war with grandpa, because the rich through the day came out fuck.

So we don't even learn that until the end. Thank you for listening to our podcast.

We have run out of we don't have time for a yes or no.

We don't have any time for anything in this one. But gosh, it's a good discussion of the war with grandpa.

Maybe the best news ever had. One of our top discussions, we're going to keep a really close eye on this flick and what what a treat. What a treat we have.

Just this is just a quick reminder. Don't go to movie theaters, movie theater, even.

It's a fucking gift to go see this movie. And since this, like, take a stab or whatever, don't don't don't do well, OK.

If you want to buy a ticket, something's not going in. That's fine with this great flick. Absolutely. And that can get to the one hundred year war with Grandpa. Yeah, no problem at all.
