Babes in Toyland LIVE! (HDTGM Matinee)

27:49I mean, I thought that 11 is not that old. I mean, that's pretty old. That's an indictment on the parents in the home. Absolutely. That is not her fault. And no person's getting chains on the pod for that. No, no, that's the case. No. Applaud. Applaud. No, I think I... Where's the dad? Absolutely right. The dad is absentee. I assume they were divorced or that he was dead. Yeah. But the dad is... That killed by his son. Not present. The mom is not engaged. The sister has to go to work, and Drew is doing the lion's share of work. Happily so. When the sister walks out of the house into a fucking blizzard with just a neon pink...

28:31This is a fucking killer outfit. Okay. Oh, yeah. We need to carve out the next two hours to talk about that outfit. Do we have a picture of her outfit? It's like a beret. It's a pink jacket. It's nuts level stuff. It's a square. Yes. It's the widest jacket I've ever seen in my life. It's a jacket that looks like a vagina with her head as the clitoris. And it's also, and then the plastic thing. That might have been on the Toys and Babelands site. Sorry. I might have been looking at different things. But the sister works seemingly like at a five and dime, right? They call it a five and dime, but it also says toys outside.

29:13So it seemed like a five and dime toy store. I mean, my favorite moment is Richard Mulligan, who I think is a great actor. So funny. He comes in, he's like, I told you to push the bears. And she's like, I work in customer service. Like he's in a mammoth. Like he's doing mammoth. He was doing, yeah. He's like, push the fucking bears. The motherfucking bears is what you need to push. I gave you the bear leads. Sell these fucking bears. Sell these bears. I couldn't tell if it was Christmas Eve. It was Christmas Eve. I mean, I was so shocked. My entire personality is pretty much based on Golden Girls and Empty Nest.

29:51Just those two shows I have been created from. I watch them every night back to back. Wow. Oh, obsessed. Wait, what about Love Boat, which came on next? I don't think I could stay up for that. So I only made it through Golden. That's where I'm older than you. Yes. So I could, because I watched those as well, straight into Love Boat. Yeah, I could not go to Love Boat, yeah. I stopped there, but I loved him so much. I love that character so much. To see him this way was pretty shocking for me. Well, I mean, he is lecherous. I thought he was great. Don't get me wrong. He is doing, yeah, and for somebody who's not a great singer, I appreciated his song.

30:26What was his song? Oh, yeah. Let's tie it. Well, here we go. His song. Refresher. A monster piece. Here we go. Let's take a... Oh, yeah, that's right. Here we go. This is very Dark Crystal. I want to share with you, dear boy. The evil scheme that fills my heart with joy. Its evil theme will never cease. Because I have created a masterpiece. I put in years of toil and strife. It feels like the music isn't even sure it's a song. I agree. Like the people that are playing are like, I guess he's singing. There's never, it never opens up. The songs do not further the plot at all, which all musical songs should.

31:24They should give you more access, more. I mean, we basically get a song that is just about Cincinnati. Yeah. And then Monsterpiece. And then that. And then the other, there's another one that I don't even remember. And they're all kind of talked. Like, they never start. Well, when they go to dub, like, I go back to Pat Morita. When they go to dub his singing voice, I'm like, well, now it will be a good one. And it felt like someone doing an impression of a bad Pat Morita singing voice. It's like, oh, yeah, I bet you he's not a good singer. I'll do that. Yeah. Nobody. I mean, I felt like everybody.

31:54I don't, I mean, I'm not even sure that was his singing voice, to be quite honest. That feels like right. I don't know. I've assumed everybody was dubbed in this just because so many people seem to be being dubbed. Keanu is dubbed, for sure, when he sings. Yes. Drew Barrymore is definitely dubbed. I mean, they go to this world. I mean, I want to talk about this world because we've been talking about something. Oh, Toyland? Toyland, which is the most monstrous place that you could ever possibly go. This is like a Wizard of Oz, except that instead of going to a fantastical world of Oz, she goes into a nightmare scape of storybook characters come to life, which are just this.

32:34And by the way, this is like a bear out of Wicker Man. This bear is scary. Everybody's wearing like Sesame Street level costumes. You can frequently see the seams between their necks. You can frequently see human necks. it is there's a lot of law enforcement in this town that don't seem to be doing much this is that frog is chilling we just saw before too like some of the characters are giving the physicality of like bears and then others are just walking around I mean people with the costumes on they clearly built the frog head with the pipe in it I think it's Sherlock Frog the classic fairytale character it's got a Sherlock Holmes cap.

33:19Tom Thumb, Sherlock Frog. That's Raggedy Ann. That's Raggedy Ann. But who is the lion with a football jersey? When they would cut to a group shot, that motherfucker. There's the... There he is. Oh, this fucking guy's trying to... I saw this and I was like, this guy's trying to get me. But here's the thing. While there are fully costumed characters, they're not going the cat's route, where it's a human dressed as an animal, then there are just regular people that look like pilgrims. They're all storybook characters. Well, we hope. I mean, it's loose. I think they are all meant to be from stories.

34:04They're introduced as such. I mean, you know this classic storybook character. That's the owl from the Tootsie Pop commercial, right? Old people like that joke. I mean, it's such a bizarre world. And there's the lion in the football jersey. The toy soldiers do come out to play, which makes it interesting because... There's a lady. Oh, look at him. There he is. Oh, look at him. Oh, shit. Like, no matter... Oh, no. Get him out of here. Oh, no. Get him out of here. I see you, Jason. No. That is haunting. That is the scale. Oh, that is haunting. Oh, man. That's the mailman. This, to me, is the closest thing that we could get to seeing Wes Anderson's nightmares.

35:03Yes. Like, this feels like when Wes Anderson dreams, he sees this town, and it scares him. Yeah. It's so crazy, too, because nobody ever asks her, like, how'd you get here? Yeah. Well, by the way, I mean, she gets there. she doesn't seem to have many questions and like even I did today really even at a point when she gets her driver's license it's just a cookie it says driver's license I just want to show you stop it right here that wooden soldier is crying yes does that mean the sweat has come out of the actor through the costume is it sap or do the wooden soldiers have tear ducts like what is this Well, here's my other question.

35:46We see these wooden soldiers displayed in the town square. Later on in the film, the Toy Master says, oh, what's in that closet? And he opens it up. They're all covered in dust and cobwebs. He goes, they're my greatest joy. So did the cobwebs, are they in a place where cobwebs form very quickly? Did these escape? Are there different? Something happened, and I was trying to follow it. Something happened where the wooden soldiers couldn't be released until there was... Until someone believed in toys. Someone believed in the toys. But these wooden soldiers are okay? Well, this is the end of the movie, I believe.

36:25I thought this was the beginning of the movie. Is it? No. Oh, okay. I think when... Definitely when the tear comes out is at the end of the movie. Who is that? Who is that lion? Who's that football player? What story is that from? What is that? I'm Tick Butkus. I was a character creator for Dick Butkus, a cartoon show when the Chicago Bears hit. I genuinely was like, what the fuck is this guy doing here? And he's crying. And some animals in this movie do do like, wonk, wonk, like a clunch fist to eyeballs. I feel like they had a bunch of costumes and then they were like, can we just find other costumes?

37:06And so there's a bunch of mascots just blended in. Now, I will say, I watched this, so I watched half of the movie in a parking spot. Parking lot. You were asked to leave. A beautiful sports facility. And then I watched the other half with our youngest son. Oh, wow. And that was a different experience. He loved all of this. He loved it. And when he saw the cookies coming out of that guy's hat, he said, I wish I could have a cookie in my hat. And then immediately after, I wish I had a hat. so and loved drew barrymore loved her loved her loved her and and then our older son came in too and also loved every second of it so this movie has an audience yes i'm here to report your kids are also huge pete rose fans that's true i mean that's true let him in the hall of fame this movie glorifies pete rose and i'll tell you what this movie doesn't like like this movie does not like people who are overweight uh because there are so many so many fatty jokes so many fatty jokes and here's the thing this guy gooby googie whatever his name is googie saves keanu reeves from there's a jailbreak in this movie a straight up jailbreak and in this moment like googie saves him and he's like he said i wrote it down like he says like do you mean georgie porgy well his name is Googie in the real world, right?

38:28Is it? Is it? There's a character in this movie named Googie? Googie, yeah. So if his storybook character is going to be Georgie Porgy, why not have his name in the real world be George? His real name is Googie. Wait. The actor's name is Googie. You know what? That's it. Show's over. Thanks so much, you guys. It was a great night. Thanks for wearing your mask. It's not worth it. Googie Gress. The last episode of the podcast. Googie Gress is his name. What? We're done. Wrap it. What? Googie Gress. Googie. Googie Gress. Googie Gress. Googie Gress plays Georgie G. Hold on. I got to go back. Goo as in G-O-O-G-I.

39:14G-O-O-G-Y. Googie. Googie. Like the movie, Googie. Googie. Okay. And then the last name is Gress. Googie Gress. G-R-E. G-E-S-S Googie Grass Googie Grass I'm done I have nothing to say forever that's it Googie Grass you know Googie Grass right wow and that's an actor it's like if anyone can sort of change their name and get away with it get me Googie is it possible that it's Googie I thought Googie Grass was actually the actor who played the friend in Teen Wolf not the MTV show, the Michael J. Fox movie, but it's not. Oh, no, that's a different guy. Well, maybe it's not. No, he was Francis. Yeah, Francis.

40:04So you thought his real life name was Googie. His real life name is Googie. No, I'm sorry. Georgie Porgy. Georgie Porgy. So when Georgie Porgy. Georgie Porgy. In the world of the movie, in the real world in the movie. Is Georgie. Is Georgie, okay. And then Georgie Porgy. And so when Georgie rescues Keanu in the fake world, he goes wow you're the size of three heroes now it's like motherfucker just rescued you you call him fat like just be like thank you you're a hero like you don't have to like make a isn't that kind of Georgie Porgy's thing what's the Georgie Porgy story put his finger in some pie

40:41wait but what else happened after that Georgie weighs 17 and a half stone with a waist of 50 inches and And he's a constant source of... Are you on British Wikipedia? It is. It's historicuk.com. Why are you measuring in stone? We're in America, baby! Where we can't stop dying! Too dark? Too dark? Really? Oh, wait. Despite his larger size, George also established for himself a rather poor reputation for his lusty romps with the fairer sex that involves several mistresses, leaving a string of illegitimate children when he was 23. What are you talking about? How is this a storybook? I guess Georgie is based on a real person.

41:43Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. I get it now. Okay. Yeah, okay. So I guess he was based on Edward I. Edward I. Okay, anyway Or King George IV I can't get into this British Wikipedia It's too complicated Everything's left to right I'm not gonna lie I still haven't recovered from Googie I will never I still am thinking about it I have to take off my blazer I'm not present Oh, God Now I will say I do want to talk about Eileen Brennan's performance And I was hurt that you thought I was Ellen Burstyn Because I was obsessed with her performance So good She's so good I was obsessed with it Until she said she would, in hard times, sell some of the children?

42:24That made me laugh so hard. I mean, yeah, I got it right here. I mean, yeah, she really, like, lays it down. She's so good. And to be clear, if you haven't seen Private Benjamin, do yourselves a goddamn favor and watch Private Benjamin. Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennan, next level. Go ahead, Paul. When she says, there's a great line in here, too, where she says, like, my mom had too many kids, so they grew out of the boots. Sorry, let me find out. No, out of the shoe and into a pair of boots. Yeah, I thought that was very funny.

43:01You just have a list of jokes you liked. At a certain point, I was enjoying the movie. I was just like my children. I was enjoying every moment of it. I was like, that's fun. I would like to go to that jail. I mean, by the way, this other thing about Toyland is it is also a hollow earth movie because everything in this movie, there's so much underground passages. So much tunnels. So many tunnels. I had a question, though. Were the tunnels, was that? Okay, so the bad guy, Barnaby Barnacle, lives in a bowling ball. Is that a story? No, right? I don't think Barnaby Barnacle is a thing. I want to make sure.

43:45I loved that, though. I thought that was great. I liked the look of somehow an ominous giant bowling ball. Wish it had rolled down at some point. Well, by the way, they threaten it. They say sometimes it does roll down and crash houses, and then I guess it goes back up. That was Chekhov's bowling ball house. You don't put a bowling ball at the top of the hill unless it's going to roll down. You want to see that bowling ball take out those cars at the end instead of that one character suiciding himself. What I couldn't understand was they seem to establish two different places of evil, which is the underground caverns that they seem to exist in and the dark forest beyond.

44:25Right, but we never really get to the... I felt like the dark forest beyond was actually... Well, I thought... I don't think there is a dark forest beyond. Now, this is interesting. I don't think there is. Elaborate. Like the village? I think that he was using that as a way of sort of keeping everyone there. But I don't think there was actually, there were just gates. June, let me ask you this. Where is Pat Morita getting all that evil from? I don't know. I mean, that's the thing. Pat Morita is a collector of evil. Well, I have a theory. Yes. I have a theory. At the end of the movie, it seems to posit that Pat Morita, the Toy Master, is in fact Santa Claus.

45:11Who is wearing a Mrs. Claus outfit. No judgment. Yes. Just need to underline that that was the choice. Where's his hat? I was like, well, I don't know. It's not there. So you think that's a Mrs. Claus? It's definitely a Mrs. Claus. It is? I thought it very forward thinking. Very cool. Gender neutral Santa. I'm into it. I fully believed that was Santa, because I'll be honest, if I'm Santa, why would I ever wear a hat? It's going to blow off. Hood all the way, baby. I got to tell you, this Santa's a little too hands-on for me, because his little minions, everyone's got minions in this town, his minions are like, Toymaker, how do we fix this doll?

45:49He's like, oh, you got to put eyes on it. If they don't know the basics, like, if Santa's got to put eyes on all the dolls, like, shit's gone south. He has not taught them the right thing. Yeah. But he is Santa masquerading as a toy maker? I think he's both. I don't know. I think he is one and the same. But to the world, he's like, I'm Toymaker. But then he's like, but I'm also Santa. I feel like it's like, it would almost be like if Superman was also the Flash. It's like, my secret identity is Superman, but I'm the Flash. It's like, wait. Well, no, because they say earlier that he's making all the toys for Santa.

46:28For Santa. Right. So that would imply that the Flash works for Superman. Well, yeah, I'm not going to get into the specifics of the DC universe, but I'm going to say this. I would love to. Listen. I'd love to drill down on this. I don't want to believe that Santa has a collection of evil things in an urn. Well, yes, sorry, sorry, yes. That's what I was going to say is in his experiences as Santa, he comes in contact with evil, takes it, and puts it in the urn. Hold on. In the world. The world's in there. In the world. Because he goes into the real world. He goes into our world. He says, I've heard of Cincinnati.

47:00You know how? I go there and I deliver presents. And so in our world, he encounters evil. And so he bottles it up. Wait, wait, but how does he encounter evil? Like, because it's like, does he go out and crime fight? Or is he just like, does he just have an urn open? Like, let me drive around here. Give me that movie. Give me that movie. Let me hang out. Because there is something. That's why I'm saying that's a different movie. Pat Morita is the Toy Master. He has a collection of evil. Where did you unleash? It is a good question. have other people, because nobody seems phased when Drew Barrymore, a human child, arrives in Toyland.

47:35Nobody seems like, what are you or who are you or where are you from or whatever, even though she is from Cincinnati. There isn't an idea of good or bad until we reveal that, how is Barnaby Barnacle evil? Also, shouldn't this movie end with him being redeemed? Yes! It's like the Grinch, but he doesn't win. Yes, he's like the Grinch or the villain of the story, but for it to be a Christmas movie, he should be filled with, he should be redeemed, not banished to the bad forest with all of his demons. Or he's banished in that world, but in real life, he's learned his lesson at the Five and Dime. We don't get that either.

48:22But hold on, now I need to ask you a question that i may have missed she didn't really shoot out the back of that g yes she did oh she did okay yeah definitely whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa okay all right well here's what did you think happened okay i thought that she was cooking by stirring that pot and then she fell asleep and imagined everything on her couch so you imagine you don't you don't think she left the house. Yeah. Oh, so you think when that's static. You thought when the static happens. Well, the Wizard of Oz, she's in a tornado. Yes, but it wasn't like, yes, but. Wait. Yes, but. Well, hold on.

49:02Do you agree, Paul, that in the Wizard of Oz, I do. Dorothy is in a tornado. Yes, but here's my thought, is that she was in like a winter storm and the power went out in her house and she like, the antenna fell, or like, we don't know what the reason is, but she conked herself out. she had this vision of her going to her sister's store. We saw her conk herself out by jumping out of the back of a Suzuki sidekick on a sled and hitting a tree. But then we're, like, at the end of the movie. Okay, this is my thought. Sorry. I mean, I know I'm wrong. I don't know why I'm fighting it, but I will. This is shocking.

49:39Huh? Because I just thought that, like... Because the movie is very much about child endangerment. Well, okay. But, like, so she... Okay, there's Santa. Drew Barrymore this is the age where Drew Barrymore would only star in movies in which something flies in front of the moon they were like we gotta get that E.T. shot we gotta get that E.T. shot in here well I guess and my thought was like when she wakes up on the couch she's not bruised she's not bandaged she's not in a hospital this child flew out of the back of a jeep she is concussed at a bare minimum she shouldn't be allowed to sleep you should be like oh my god I flew out of the back of the jeep I only got a concussion.

50:19Like that would be like, you know what my thought was? Cause I was concerned about that too. They are worried about her. The mom says that we're really worried about you. But is Googie there? Googie is there. But the little brother's in bed. They took the time to put the brother in bed. They should be in the hospital. She should be. The blizzard. They're not supposed to be driving. Like they went and found her body. Also, they brought it back to the house. I think they were close to home. I want to, here's what I want to say. So when Drew Barrymore, Again, 11 years old, left home alone on Christmas Eve.

50:51Okay, maybe that's the world we're living in, okay? Where mom's getting chained on the tires. The telephone line goes down and the... The antenna falls off the roof. And the antenna for the TV. The electricity doesn't go out, the TV and the phone. She puts on her winter coat and walks to the toy store where her sister lives. So they are in walking distance. Wait, not lives. I mean, he's working, he's working, he's working. You know what I mean. But she's also... She just walks there. An 11-year-old can walk there. So then if Keanu Reeves is like, I'll drive you guys home, it must be like right there.

51:24Why do they drive so long? So many verses. So many verses of the song. They should be able to see I and I. We're here. Here's the thing. Suzuki Samurai can only make right turns. So it does take a longer time. I thought they were setting up that she walked a really long time to get to that five and dime store because that's how much of a little adult she is. That would make sense. In my mind, I was like, oh, it's small town America. She lives 10 minutes from the store or something, you know, the equivalent of. Yeah. She never left that house. That's an absurd statement. Wait, wait, wait. You think that's an absurd?

52:06She had a, so a concussion fantasy is different than like, I fell asleep on a couch. It's the Wizard of Oz. But the same thing. In the Wizard of Oz, she doesn't just like concuss herself at home. The house flies away. She falls down. So you think the concussion is creating the fantasy not just the sleep? Nah. I mean, or she's dead. We got it. We got it. Jacob's Ladder scenario. All right. All right. So, all right. All right. Let me ask you guys this. What did you think about the big fix when they're all getting poisoned by gas? And they say... I cannot believe we haven't even talked about that sequence.

52:43They're poisoned by gas, and what they need— This is nuts. They say, don't breathe it in. And if you breathe it in, the gas is the personification of evil. So to breathe it in will turn them into ghouls or the minions of Barnaby Barnacle, right? Those ferratus that he travels with. We get to see those monsters later on. But the crazy thing is they're all yelling at each other to not breathe it in. Correct. And in doing so, are just breathing it in. Much like all of us in here tonight. And then Drew Barrymore's solution is, hey, if we can't breathe it in, let's all sing. Because I'm from Cincinnati and Cincinnati has, like, she says, I'm immune to the evil gases.

53:30Immediately she goes, because I'm from Cincinnati. Not like, because I'm not from your world. It was like, not, it was just, because I am from Cincinnati. Then she goes on. the movie because Barnaby Barnacle is also obsessed with her. He only calls her. What is it? Like since since since Cindy or since a wadi. Since a wadi. Since a watsky. Thank you. He only calls her since a watsky. She's constantly saying Cincinnati. It's as if Cincinnati is a protective barrier or in another way of saying it a good thing, which I have an issue with. Now, what she has to do here to save them is not only have them breathe in more poison gas, but also teach them the song?

54:22They already know it. They know it in their hearts. Yeah, they know it in their hearts. They seem to... Don't breathe it. Just don't breathe it. Just fight it. You're not. You too, Lisa. Nothing's happening to me. I guess I'm immune because I'm from Cincinnati. Yes, Cincinnati. They come with me and help keep your mom straight. I come from C-I-N-C-I-N-N-A-T-I Cincinnati. The best tongue you know, H-I-O, Ohio, USA. Come on, you toy master sound that was good and evil. Hold on, it's good inside of you. They named it Cincinnati, so they say. How does he know the lyrics? I'm sorry. Every actor in that scene deserves an Oscar.

55:13Yes. Amen. What must have it been like to shoot this movie? On a process level, you're sitting in your chair, you're waiting. Everybody's dressed up in their weird costumes. And you're like, do you know all the lyrics to this Cincinnati song? Let's rehearse it one more time. I'm still working. And also, like, trying to figure out, like, what level of monster are you going for? Yeah. So, like, we're in the same movie. We all have to figure out what that's going to be. And by the way, they did. They did. I mean, when he goes, It's Cincinnati. And the sister does it next. That's the same thing. He even goes harder into turning into evil.

55:54And then so does Googie. Googie does it the best. Because Googie is the one that you think he's going to lose it. It's Cincinnati. Somehow, I don't know what it is yet, but somehow Googie is the t-shirt. I don't know how. I just that guy's face. Just Googie. That's it. I'm also like, what? Give me that Googie. Okay. Googie is not on the birth certificate. So what? I'm like, my mind is racing. Like, what? What is his Christian name? Like, what? It's Greg. Frank? For sure. Hold on. Somebody said it here. What? It's Frank. It's Frank. You're right. No, it's Francis Googie Gress, born as Francis Gress Jr.

56:35Is Googie a common nickname that we've just never heard? Does anyone in this room know a Googie? He was on the show Charmed. Is there a Googie here? He was on Charmed? He was on Charmed. Is Googie here? Ladies and gentlemen, Googie. Googie. All right, guys, I have how it came up. Francis Ress Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York, and as an infant, his father called him his Googie baby. That became Googie. and he was raised in Connecticut where there's a state law that if you have a stupid nickname, it's stuck. That's what he says in interviews. And yeah, that's it. Holy cow. To introduce yourself that way.

57:15All right. That's. Wow. That is like. He lives here in Los Angeles. Let's get him. Let's get Googie. Find Googie. Bring him to us. Wolf have to fight off his wife and three kids, Clara, Frank, and Gus. But besides that, we can get him. Yes, he's married to the love of his life, Clarinda Ross, but we can get him. We will raise those children as our own. You know what? Let's see if anyone has some questions. This audience has a lot of information about Googie, a lot of questions about the movie. So if you have a question, raise your hand, and by the look of you, I'll see. Yeah, right down here. You raise your hand first.

57:55What's your question? Hi. Hi. Do you get like a very weird sexual in the world that was about the entire movie with like young women? This is great. Okay, so I'm going to repeat it just because there's no mic there. is there like a weird innuendo that we're getting about child brides I would go so far as to say it is not an innuendo it's not one at all it's just a clean fact let me be clear it is not subtext it is text yeah the text of this movie is old men want to fuck young girls and marry young girls child brides I mean let's I mean now I know we teased it I just feel like we have to play has this lecherous scene I think the only reason why it's so fun is because he's so good Hi there, beautiful.

58:39I've been watching you with the teddy bears. What do you think of running here? A charity bazaar? Merchandise was faulty. There was no refund. The customer took a punching bag in exchange and was quite satisfied. One thing I can say for you, Angela, is your personal merchandise is by no means faulty. But when I say push the teddy bears, I mean push the teddy bears. Clear? I'm not a salesperson, Mr. Barney. I'm customer service and I was doing my job. Doing your job is pleasing me, which in your case would not be difficult. You know what I mean? No, I don't. You know, for a smart looking girl, you're really pretty dumb.

59:14Don't you know it's better business to be nice to the boss than to some pretty stock boy with his fingers in the tail? Wow. I didn't like how he said fingers in the tail. Ooh, what a villain. What a villain. All right. Anybody else? Anybody else? Yeah, right here. Yes. The movie was shot in West Germany in 1986. and at one point they built a wall and then the trolls walk through it? Do you think it's ridiculous to follow the Berlin Wall? Great question. Great question. There is... Let me repeat it just so we have it because it's so good. I mean, is that why Humpty Dumpty didn't fall off of it?

59:49Oh, oh, oh. Do not bring him up. In 1986, this movie was filmed in Germany and in the film, they burst through a wall. Does this movie predict the fall of the Berlin Wall? Well, that's why Georgie Porgy at one point says Mr. Barnacle tear down this wall.

1:00:11It was weird that they shot that lion in an NFL jersey as he tried to run past the wall. Alright, anybody? Yeah, okay, yes, yes. Did you hear the implication when David Conchari said that it's always daylight? Did you know that? And they only He seems that he co-eased in his case. Okay, what was the first part of that? It's always daylight. But you said something before that, right? She said, did you hear the implication of it? Or no? Okay, got it, yeah. So what is the implication of it always being daylight? I wrote that down, too. That doesn't seem like a pleasant thing. That seems like what you, like a torturous thing.

1:00:49Hell on earth. Well, I'm assuming that for the storybook characters, it doesn't matter. But for Drew Barrymore's character, she needs to sleep. It's like Insomnia, that Robin Williams remake. Yeah, yes. But here's the thing. Also, she said that cookies are everything. Cookies are currency. They're also cookies. And they're also driver's licenses. So, like, how do you know if you're eating a cookie? Cookies are everything in this world. Except for cakes. Cookies are currency. Cookies are driving. It's everything. And the cakes that they're making, we lost six months of cakes, but it doesn't seem like cakes would have that long of a shelf life.

1:01:30It shouldn't be out there for six months. Yeah, it doesn't look like a refrigerated area at all. No, I would agree with that. Oh, I mean, let's be very clear. The cookie factory is not up to code at all. The cookie factory seems to be making cakes.

1:01:47Also, so many trap doors. Every building is full. Hollow Earth, man. This is King Kong is down there. It's dripping in trap doors. Don't touch him. You'll point at me.

1:02:08There was a roach? Like the end of a joint? Like a real roach. There was a roach in the cookie factory. Yeah.

1:02:21Oh, so, yeah. So, we're, yes, we saw that there's an actual roach in the movie. An actual roach in the movie. I didn't realize you were saying I was right. I agree with you. I am right. Yeah, over here. Yeah, what do you got? For the two actors that look like Riff Raff with a hunchback, do you think that both of those actors audition for the same part and the director is like, I just gotta have them both? It is interesting. So Richard Mulligan's character is surrounded by, I call them two Nosferatus. Like, they're on either side. Or Nosferatu. Ooh. They are... Or Nosferatus. They are identical.

1:03:00They don't do anything different except for the one suicides himself in the car chase, which is he jumps out of the car like dumb in Fast and the Furious, but to no end, just to the ground. I don't know why. I'll pay$10 ,000 for those two characters to be in Fast and Furious 10. Without any explanation or explanation. That's the Toretto brothers? They come out of Toyland. Fast and Furious 10 goes to Toyland. they get in those little cars, they drive around, and then they bring them into the real world. I'm still shocked. It's one thing seeing Drew Barrymore in a little car, she's so young, but to see Richard Mulligan.

1:03:41My guy in that little car. In a little car that sounds like bubbles and like old Hanna-Barbera. It definitely had Banana Splits vibes. Yeah, for sure. And they're all driving around a town square. Like, there's nowhere to escape. Even when Keanu Reeves escapes from the jail, he's not under any disguise. He just drives right through the center of town. And at the end, when they're all racing, it seems like they're just racing through, like, a block. They're just like, you know, it's like, there's not much ground to cover. Like, just get out of your car and you'll catch them. Yeah, just walk. Well, yeah.

1:04:14Well, yeah, the cars don't go fast. And they're being driven by children. And the other thing is, the car chase, our heroes all drive away. and what's left is Richard Mulligan and the Nosferatus just are driving in circles around a building at each other over and over and over until they crash. So wait, no, let me just say something because now I'm realizing something. So the moral, like there's a lot of morals to Christmas movies, right? There's, you know, like whether it's like the most, to 8-Bit Christmas, the most important part of the holidays is not the gift. It's about, it's about spending time with the people that you love.

1:04:52You know, whether it's, you know, the Grinch. Love Actually. It's about your wife getting a Joni Mitchell CD instead of the thing. Or trying to steal your best friend's wife. Or going to America and sleeping with a bunch of random people. All the love actually great holiday tropes. All the great bets. All the great bets. But like here, the moral is, hey kids, don't grow up too fast. Which is, by the way, but that's a fine, like toy story, that's a fine moral. For kids? Well, but my problem is. 80s divorce kids. That's what this movie is about, I feel like. Absolutely, but my problem is, I don't know that this is by choice.

1:05:29I don't know that she wants to be this little adult mother figure in her home. She very much doesn't. I believe she has to be. She says, quote, I always wanted to be a kid. That's devastating. What? That's devastating. That's a line Drew Barrymore at 11 years old crushes. Yeah, she does. It rings true. It's devastating. I always wanted to be a kid at 11. I understood that. Do you want to believe Lisa? Yes, I do. More than anything. I guess life just made me grow up too fast.

1:06:12Although I do still have my teddy, I kept teddy. Did you hear that, everybody? She kept her teddy. Yes, I kept my teddy. Now what I really needed to see Was when we were back in present day I really needed to see that mom Like clock this All of it And think like I'm gonna make a few different choices Change needed The change of what happened In Toyland Needed to be established In the coda when she wakes up Right? We would then understand her life would be made better She would be allowed to be a child Hold on one second And I'm looking at this and going, she doesn't even get to be the hero of the story, really.

1:06:56I mean, she helps. She helps. But it's like, it's not her story. Like, it's like, well, I guess maybe that's Wizard of Oz, too, right? I mean, there's a world in which she comes back and says, like, hey, mom, I need help. I mean, honestly. Or says, where's dad? And then the mom hugs her, like, Goodwill Huntington says, it's not your fault. Yes. It's not your fault. Or it's something like the bear minimum we get in the movie is that she wakes up. They have a beat. We're saying bear like the least, not the bear like a furry. Not like the teddy bear. There's a lot of bears in the movie. And she looks past and there's a wooden soldier as one of the gifts on the thing.

1:07:34And it like salutes her or whatever. And that's basically it. It's like she still has a little bit of like the magic of these toys come to life or whatever. I'm just saying that she is the adult. She is ultimately the adult in toilet. Like, it might as well have been. She wakes up on the couch and her mom's like, I thought dinner was going to be ready. What were you mixing because you didn't clean the dishes? What's this I heard? You fell out of the back of a Suzuki sidekick.

1:08:07Yeah. Your father's going to be very upset when he finds us.

1:08:15he's coming back trust me I wish I went to toilet if only you would be more responsible your father would come back it's also interesting though what's interesting to me is that they make her the middle child the mediator yeah because she's not like oldest daughter's powerful force in the world and usually take on that sort of like mother-like energy in the household. But she's actually the middle child taking care of her older sister and making dinner for her younger brother. Well, her first question when she wakes up from a couch coma is, where's Johnny? Where's the little brother? Where's the little boy?

1:09:01I can't remember what his name is. But where's Johnny? She just woke up from a coma and is remembering, because that wasn't even part of the, they weren't trying to find Johnny in the beginning. Like Johnny was with the mom. Mom was getting chains on her tires. That was fine. The mom was like, hey, look, I know it's snowing. I got a couple more errands to run. I'll be back soon. Like, the mom is not coming home. But, you know, maybe what we're talking about is, do we need hospitals? But, again, it's the 80s. It's the 80s. They basically were like, walk it off. Pat Morita, Karate Kid, just slapped his hands together.

1:09:34Concussions weren't a real thing. You could get a couple of those. All right, another question from the back. Anybody in from back? Yeah, great. Is there any way where this traumatizes Keanu to basically develop the clothing technology and replicas to save his family? Great idea. So people are hypothesizing, is this character that Keanu plays a prequel to what we saw in Replicas where he must replicate his family? You know, I mean, I don't want to get too deep in... The car accidents. No.

1:10:10Over there in the back. Yeah, right there. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, two quick things. Sure. I'm from Ohio. Cincinnati sucks. A woman from Ohio says Cincinnati sucks. Cincinnati sucks. Cincinnati sucks. Cincinnati sucks. Cincinnati sucks. That's going in the podcast. Devin, keep it in. I hope we never play Cincinnati. Yes, for me. So your whole argument that a sled is not this, like, influential and amazing that for a child. One word, rosebud. Okay. So someone's coming after me. This isn't Don't Spool. Not on Spool, folks. Is that Amy Nicholson? We understand it, but that's not fun now. Get out of here, Nicholson.

1:10:58Thank you, Amy Nicholson, for that. So she brings up, now I have an answer for that. Repeat the question. They're going to repeat the question. She said, Paul, you say that, you know, a sled is not influential. Citizen Kane Rosebud she said Rosebud Citizen Kane reference here's what I'll say about that when was Citizen Kane made? 1942 how old was Citizen Kane when Charles Foster came when he died? when was he born? what's happening right now? let's just say why are you condescending to our audience? yeah let's just say this they're hearing math let's just say this boom watching us Let's just say this.

1:11:42I'm spoon! In 1911, a sled would be a big fucking deal. So I agree with you. Yes, if in 1911 I was 10 years old and I got a sled, I'd be like, oh my God! The only thing for entertainment is newspapers. Yeah! It would be the fucking best. This is 86. We're talking Goonies in the movie theater. Nintendo's on our screen. Sylvester Stallone is killing Russians. You're giving me a fucking... Fuck you and your sled. Give me a Nerf gun. Give me a laser tag. Give me a gift. Wow. Paul Scheer, the spirit of Christmas. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Wow. Did you ever... Did you ever go... Yeah, I went sledding. And guess what?

1:12:34The other kids have fucking sleds. And you take turns. Oh, so you're a fucking chair. So you're that guy. Wait a second. So you never got one. Uh-huh. So you never got one. I had a sled. I had a sled. It doesn't register with me because it's not that big a fucking deal. You were sledless. You were one of those sledless kids who's like, can I get a ride on your sled? Can I get a ride on your sled? Get ready. Hey, I got next on your sled. Get ready, motherfuckers. I'll drop this on you. I had a horse-drawn carriage. We'd bring that shit out in the winter, and I didn't give a shit about it. What is that mean?

1:13:12What are you talking about? A fucking sled that the horses were about. You had, oh, that's right, you had horses. So we would put on the fucking skis on the horse-drawn carriage. Put skis on horses? No, on the carriage. That's not a sled. That's not a sled. I'm just saying, I got winter toys. That's not a toy! It's not a toy of giant mammoth. And neither is a plan. This is insanity. I'm really upset. I'm really upset. And I'm parenting with this person, okay? We're the stewards of childhoods, and this is very scary. I'm like, that is, this is wild. These are wild takes, Paul. Anybody else got a question?

1:14:00Yeah, right over here. Oh, I went here, but you go there.

1:14:08I gotta talk about this character Alright Repeat This is like a dark crystal kind of character A Henson-esque Muppet That is a cyclops bird Whose giant main eye Is also a TV And looks dead And looks dead Like it is unsettling It's like the difference between creating a Muppet and a statue with one moving part is light years. But the thing is, and Richard Mulligan continues to use it in order to spy on Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves and the heroes of the story. So that's how he's staying ahead of them. But every frame in the movie, you're looking at the gross, cloudy eye of this puppet and then like a TV screen is kind of superimposed onto it.

1:15:01It's disgusting. It really is. And bizarre. And really, and this is where I was like, oh, I kind of am into this. I wish this had like a dark crystal. I wish these characters were more skezies, more scary, more creatures. But they're not. Again, you see all the seams and all the weirdness. And yes, you're right. They put him in a box. They put him away. Of course, Trolloc should come back. And maybe even help defeat his owner or his... But that's not about, it's not about turning the tide. It's not about that. It's just about him being banished. Nobody gets converted in a Christmas movie into feeling the power of Christmas or believing in toys.

1:15:45Like Barnaby Barnacle should be, it should be him that believes in toys again so that the movie can resolve. It doesn't need to be Drew Barrymore because he is the equivalent of someone who's not interested in, who doesn't want. I agree. He's the villain, right? Oh, actually, I just had a thought. About something. Is it about sleds are awesome? Well, June, your movie, A Bit Christmas. Does a kid in that movie want a sled?

1:16:14Doubling down. No. What does he want? A Nintendo. Nintendo, 1986. Here's some of the toys that came out in 1986. Fucking Nintendo. That's a toy. My pet monster had it. That's a toy. Paul, can I ask you a question? My buddy had it. that's a toy and a friend. Quick question. Quick question for you, Paul. Omnibot 2000 had it. Do you think that Mary, working at the Five and Dime, can afford a fucking Nintendo for her sister? She could maybe afford Photon. She gives half of her salary to pay for the slack. Photon was a generic toy to LaserTag. It was cheaper than LaserTag, and I had Photon. Anyway, I had a lot of these 1986 toys.

1:16:59Now, are you just using this to flex? Teddy Ruxpin had it i had it i had a phone this is sad this is so sad you're going share a costume had it why why do you have that bookmarked why is that so accessible to you that list of toys you had also in 86 and i'm not this is heartbreaking what i'm not gonna do tonight is i'm not gonna go back on thinking sleds are cool okay i do i think sleds are great and awesome and a lovely gift. What I'm also going to say, though, is that this is her sister. This is her older sister. This isn't, she's not going to get, like, the thing of her dreams, necessarily.

1:17:40This is her sister who works at the five and dime. Yes, and this is a lovely thing for an older sister to get a younger sister. Especially a younger sister who she feels like is behaving too responsibly. Go have fun. Get out of the house. Get out in nature. She wants to give her a toy, something to have fun with, something to, exactly, leave the house and stop doing work. Say, come on. Whoa! Misogynist. Now we see. You fucking get yourself an Easy Bake Oven. Put her in the kitchen, Get the fuck out of here. So she understands. Put me on a sled and get me out of here. Don't let her have an adventure toy.

1:18:15That was not. Give her a practice oven for her future life. I'll put you in an Easy Bake Oven. I was like, let's get her a toy so she can make more food for the family. Not because she's not. Wow. Wow. They need to eat. This is really like regular. Clearly I'm right. There's other opinions out there. I see your true colors. Second opinion. All right. We have placed this microphone down here on stage. We have had two people coming up here. What's your name? My name's Anna. Give it up for Anna. All right, here we go. It is now time for Second Opinions. Woo!

1:19:10Drew Barrymore wakes up in Toyland where she Teams up with friends and family to overthrow Barnaby 5.4 out of 10 stars on IMDb Does it sound forgetful? Well, it was made for TV Mulligan, Brennan, and Reeves, let's go Largo Christmas show Pat Morita has the toys ready to go Giddy up, giddy up, second opinions thrive On how did this get made live Babes in Toyland 2021 And we made it out alive Yes!

That I was like, oh, shit, am I recording this? because we've been doing it at home on Zoom so much. It's like, I don't think I hit record. I don't think I hit record on QuickTime. I literally had that. We have our amazing, our amazing producer. Give it up for Devin. Devin up there in the booth. Devin up in the booth. But just to be clear, Devin, are you recording this? Jason and June. I normally do second opinions. What is this? Are you okay?

1:21:20Are you about to propose? I just want you to know and this is for everybody in the audience and for you both know you don't know what's about to happen oh I'm scared I don't like surprises Paul what did you do but I'm not going to do second opinions today I'm not going to do second opinions today I have a very special guest I have a very special guest doing our second opinions so here we go okay take it away Drew Barrymore oh hello June Jason and Paul How are you guys? I'm so excited to do this with you. Let's read some reviews, shall we? For the obscure masterpiece, Babes in Toyland. By the way, Keanu Reeves was just here, and he sends you all his best.

1:22:05All right, Lynn M. Hansen writes, subject line, Drew Barrymore. That's right, Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore does a great job in this remake of Babes in Toyland. It is not my favorite, but it is very good. And then five stars. I don't think that's where that review was going, but okay. Ben writes, I remember being scared of this movie when I was a kid. Those creatures and those two evil sidekick dudes really creep me out. So I just watched it again about 30 years since seeing it as a kid, and I'm happy to report that it's just as creepy as I remembered. I will update my review in another 30 years when I watch it again to see if it's still as terrifying.

1:22:48Five stars! J. Pencian writes, I absolutely love this movie. I absolutely love this movie to death, but it's only on VHS. It's one of the best versions of Babes in Toyland, in my opinion. If anyone knows how to get this in DVD form, let me know. I'd do anything to find it. Let me know. It would really make my holiday and year. And if you haven't seen this movie and still have a VHS, buy it ASAP. Why are you still reading? Buy it now! Five stars! I'm going to go on record and say I had no idea that anyone knew about this movie. It's exciting to see that anybody gave it a five-star review. And I bet there are a lot of one-star reviews out there of it as well.

1:23:41and I'd be interested in seeing those too. But as the person who was in this movie, when I was 11 years old, we shot it in Munich, Germany for six months and we just had the best time ever. It was actually really fun. And I don't know. All I can say is that I give you guys, June and Paul and Jason, five stars! Oh my God, I love her so much. Drew Barrymore. Incredible. Wow, that was a surprise. Incredible. My Christmas gift to you both. Thank you so much. Okay, I love her so much, and I just love her so much. And that is, watching this movie, I was like, God, she's so winning, and so is Keanu. Watching those two child faces in this movie, it really does make it so watchable.

1:24:37Can I just say something too? I just wanted to like, I spent all of yesterday writing a script for Drew and Keanu because they were going to do it together. Their interview ran too long and he had to run to another event. So at the last second, like he had signed off on it. He had done it. We had them going back and forth with different reviews. But they were both, the fact that they are both still like that, like into it and having, and friendship. I love them both. And that they're both still thriving. Yes. Oh, God, are they ever? They are thriving. God, are they ever. TikTok, Mr. Wick. TikTok.

1:25:13They're both thriving. And I will say this, like, the movie is, I mean, the movie is just absurd and an absolute cavalcade of nonsense. But it's watchable because they are so, as is Pat Morita, as is, and I'm forgetting the actress who plays Mary, her sister, who's great. As is Ellen Burstyn. as is Jerry Orbach as is

1:25:43nobody puts baby in the corner but listen that's what makes the movie work because if it didn't it would be unwatchable and as it is it is delightfully unwatchable because you're like what the fuck six months six months in Germany doing what Six months? The whole movie takes place on a pile of dirt. It was 145 minutes. That's two hours and 25 minutes. That was the original cut. Now, here's the thing. By the way, thank you, Paul. That was a real treat. That was incredible, Paul. That was a surprise and a real treat. June and I, no idea. Just so you guys know. No idea. Just a surprise. And I was terrified.

1:26:28Loved it. Yeah, I was not surprised. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Googie. But I will say this. People are saying, you know, is this a prequel to Keanu Reeves' character in Replicas? It's not, but it is responsible for Keanu Reeves learning how to ride a motorcycle. He did not know how to do it. He wanted to learn. He paid a woman there in Munich to learn how... Did he ride a motorcycle in this? No, he just... Oh, just while he was there. The six months that he was there. And he now owns a motorcycle company. Yes. This movie literally started that love of motorcycles. He liked motorcycles, but he learned.

1:27:06And when he came back from this movie, his first purchase was a motorcycle. Wow. And like we said, this movie came out in 1986. It's rated G. It's rated G, but there is at the end a Saving Private Ryan level of violence. It's like hand-to-hand. The wooden soldiers come out with guns and cannons that don't shoot like silly string or something fun and story timey. They shoot bullets and cannonballs. Yeah. You got it? I mean, look, there's some harsh realities here. And that also speaks to Drew's character's mind. She wasn't going to envision funny confetti. True. Bullets. True. The tagline of this movie.

1:27:52A commentary on the Vietnam War. The quagmire of Toyland. The tagline is kind of a clunker. You must truly believe in toys, which kind of gives away the ending if that's your tagline. My question about that is, the idea that belief in toys... Toys. Not humanity, not love. Not the Christmas spirit. And also not... It's like Toy Story is about the toys and it isn't. You know, it's also about imagination. And that's also what they're missing here, which is the idea that you just believe in an inanimate object. Like that's not what we are believing in. We're believing in what children can make up in their own minds and the stories we can tell.

1:28:44Stories is almost more what it would be. The belief of the Christmas spirit or the story of Christmas or the generosity or the whatever. Not the toys themselves. She doesn't leave with an actionable thing. Like, she doesn't go back, like, she goes back home or awakes from her coma, however you want to view it, and says, I now believe in toys, which I don't think that's going to change the day-to-day. No, it's not. Like, I still think that the mom's going to be like, we need food on the table. I got to go run some more errands with your little brother. He wants to be a commercial actor. We got to get him out there for auditions.

1:29:22Did you really, like, did you feel like for you, who you connected with her character a lot as having not had a real childhood? I will say this. When you were, and I mean this in a very sincere way, when you were talking about that wasn't normal, like her answering the phone and cooking dinner, I was like, really? Like that didn't seem bizarre. Like none of that stuff read weird. It was like, yeah, yeah, she's just a kid. She's just a kid who's got to get dinner done on time and make sure the little brother's taken care of. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that stuff seemed normal. Joseph does that thing where she's like, ring, ring, ring, hi, mom, hi, how are you?

1:30:04Like, where she just immediately launches into conversation. Top three movies, 86, Top Gun, Crocodile Dundee, The Karate Kid Part II, the other movies from 86 from How Did This Get Made, Cobra, Howard the Duck, and Maximum Overdrive, and Rad. So it's a big year for How Did This Get Made. Would you recommend people see Babes in Toyland? I would. I would too. I absolutely would. Yeah, I think so. It's wild. It's wild. I would argue that not only do I want people to see it, but I want people to see it in a volume that demands that we get the longer cut. The 145. I want the 145 in the same way that I want Peter Jackson's 15-hour cut of Get Back.

1:30:49It is on YouTube. The 145 is on YouTube. Oh, it is? And he's like, yes. Hold on, what? By the way, that's why it's a six-month, it was a six-month shoot. 145, two hours and 20 minutes. And they had, you know, but they were all done. Can I interrupt for one second? Did anybody here watch the 145? Raise your hand. Don't go crazy. No. No? You're rational people. Okay. You're people from LA. You have other things to do. That's why Quippy was invented. I'm just curious if someone had, I was curious what was, what did they see? Well, basically, there's a couple of reviews that I read where people were a little bit more excited about.

1:31:20There's some better songs. they felt like the better songs were left on the cutting room floor interesting but again those are people leaving five star reviews for babes in Thailand so I'm not really judging their taste as an arbiter of mine but I will say this much what I love about this movie is and we talked about this before like whether it's like Valerian and a thousand planets or Jupiter ascending whatever we watch here it's like I like fucking weird like this is a kids movie like they will never make like a movie this weird. You'll never have the peering Humpty Dumpty like, yeah. Yeah. Oh, by the way, just while we're at it, someone go home, make that gif.

1:31:59Yeah. Gif? Gif. Gif? Make that gif. I want that gif of Humpty Dumpty peering out. Put it up on the whatever. Well, we have done it. It's our first live show back. Felt great. Jason June. I'm Tall John. Holy shit. A big thank you Devin up in the booth. Our producer, Molly Reynolds. Our producer, Cody Fisher. All the people who make this work. Averill Halley for finding this movie and sticking with it for three years. Nate Kiley, who does all of our amazing research. And now I will say this. Jason and July Diaz. July Diaz, who is our MVP, our person who listens through the whole thing. Always getting Kyle Waldron and, of course, Zach McAleese, who goes to Craig T.

1:32:46Nelson on Instagram, who does all of our art. Jason June, what do we want to promote? What do we want to talk about? I don't need to plug anything. I just want to say I'm just so happy to be here. And thank you for wearing your masks and coming out. And I'm just thrilled to be at a live show. It's been so much fun. I was going to say the exact same thing. I was just going to say thank you, the live audience, for coming to this show and welcoming us back. Because I'll be honest, there is nothing, literally nothing that I have missed more than sitting on stage with you guys talking to you fucking idiots about some piece of nonsense.

1:33:22True. It is. And so this is incredible. Yeah. Thank you for making this happen. And I want to add one more thing to that, which is I want to thank the amazing staff here at Largo, who run such an amazing theater. They put on amazing shows. I want to say one thing about that, Paul. They take care of people. Yeah. Because one of my big fears when the pandemic happened, and we talked about Flanny and Largo so much because we were so terrified about what was going to happen to this space. And they just run a beautiful theater here. And I am so, I walked in and I wanted to cry because I'm so thrilled that they're here and encourage you all to continue to support the other shows that are here.

1:34:08I'm sure you do, but please check them out. It's a miracle. They make it a safe environment. And I'm so glad that they're still here. This is our home. So please support our home. Be nice to all these people. Come back and see shows. Like we said, Jason and I, we perform improv here. You can check it out. It's Dinosaur. But thank you for being here. Thank you for coming. And thank you for being you. Babes in Toyland forever. We will now pose for a picture. We'll give you a picture.
