Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re gonna explore the world of films that were turned into television shows that are so unbelievable we’re gonna think they’re made up, but they’re not. Except when they are. Wow, that’s gonna be cool. But first, we’re gonna play What’s the Word? What’s the word? I don’t have my ga-lossary anymore. It’s actually called glossary. But I always said ga-lossary growing up so I still say that. Like galoshes? Hircus. Just like circus, but starts with an H. Hircus. Hircus. Probably has nothing to do with the circus. Hircus, hircus. It definitely sounds like a part of the body. I thought it sounded like a situation. Like, I’ve really found myself in a complete hircus here. It’s like a really bad situation, like a cluster of bad things happening all at once. That’s a pretty good guess. In the same place. Which is kind of consistent with what I’m thinking now, which is like, when you’ve got a circus planned and a hurricane shows up and everybody’s like, the show must go on! It’s a hircus. Circus during a hurricane, maybe too on the nose? I don’t know, let’s find out. The rank smell of armpits. A medical term. It’s a medical term? I’m sensing a little hircus. Scalpel. Write that down. Scalpel. Hircus. Deodorant. Yeah, the patient is exhibiting hircus. They come up with these words so that they don’t say BO in front of the patient. ‘Cuz you wanna sound smart. The patient stinks. It’s code. The patient is hircus-ing. Got a little hircus. I think we’ve got a flat liner. They’re hircus-ing. Can I say another word about the wheel video? Yeah. It’s one of my favorites. Oh, okay. Well, you probably should have said that right after you said what you already said about it. Yeah, I just wanna say it’s one of my favorites. What if they don’t come to this one? It was weird. I mean, it was, what are they really doing? It’s like they have this. You gotta be a little bit weird to go through with that idea. Dank, dark pantry. And I love it. Is that? I thought they were gonna say they were at, and we’re at the Wisconsin Cereal Snack Museum or something like that. No, they’re in their weird basement. Have you seen like the garage of a couponer before? Yes. Hoo, boy. It’s like a whole store in there. But they didn’t have a lot of multiples, so it didn’t seem like that was the story. My mother-in-law went through that early two thousands coupon phase and would just have so many coupons and so much bulk items. Like, I have 28 boxes of Frosted Flakes. You know, like yeah. Like it becomes a store. Yeah. And she let us use ’em. She tried to get us in on that. I just saw her house as the grocery store. I quit going to the grocery store. The commissary. All right, let’s hear a movie turned into a television show. I’m trying to think of an example of this. Like the most famous example of a movie that became a television show. Do you have one? You have an example. I guess Lord of the Rings. Scream. Oh, Lord of the Rings, I guess does count. Scream was a television show? MASH. Hey. Was MASH a movie? On your smart TV. MASH. When you hover, I don’t, I wanna see if I’m an idiot here. I don’t hover, mine won’t hover. No, no. When you like, you know, you’re picking your app, like you’re picking your streaming service. Yeah. That you wanna watch. Yeah. And you know how like it gives you a little preview and like, some things like Netflix, the little preview of things that you can like easily click on or things that you’re currently watching or that you’ve watched a bunch and they’re like, hey, this is something that most likely this person’s gonna wanna click on. Hulu, for me, the preview is always MASH. You’ve been caught in a MASH loop. Have you ever watched it? No. Didn’t watch it. Well, you should. Hulu says you should. Maybe it’ll go away. I have watched it, just not on Hulu. Well, on Hulu it’s great. Okay, so what I’m hearing is. The Hulu version of MASH is the best. There’s something wrong with only my Hulu, ’cause no one else has this MASH preview that comes up. Yeah. It’s so odd. Well, that is very strange. But have you ever used the, and I don’t know if anybody else besides Netflix does the, just show me something. Whatever they call it. Have you let the algorithm show you something yet? I haven’t, I haven’t done it yet. No, because it feels like you lost, you know? It feels like you should be shamed. Like sometimes it’s really hard to find something to watch. I think I wanna test it ’cause I think there’s a part of me that feels like, I haven’t made all the right decisions to feed into this yet. I’m still learning how to make good Netflix decisions. So I don’t trust you to know, I haven’t represented myself well yet, is how I feel. Is that how it works? Is it an algorithm that takes into account everything you’ve watched and serves you? What you’ve clicked on and how long you’ve gone through it, how long you’ve watched it, it’s learning all the stuff that you like. I think it’s probably one day gonna be very, very good and you’re probably gonna stop making decisions for yourself. You just sit down and plug Netflix right into your nose. I mean, we’re talking like, that doesn’t happen with most people with YouTube all the time, or even Spotify. Yeah, we’re we’re totally being assimilated into trusting the algorithms. We’re taking people’s choices and then making, getting better at predicting what their choices are gonna be, which ultimately takes away their choice. So there’s gonna be people who are born into that system and then how do they, they’d be like, I just watched what my parent’s Netflix tells them to watch. Well no, they have their own account. We’ll figure it out. Yeah, but it’s also so convenient. But it is scary. Watch MASH. That’s really the takeaway here, Stevie. I guess that’s what Hulu’s trying to tell me. Nine to Five. You know the movie. Oh, the Dolly Parton movie. 1980 movie with Jane Fonda. This is not a Lies We Tell, this is real. I think this is a show. The series came out. I don’t remember. 1982 to 1986. Oh, so this went, you’re saying it was a show and now it’s going to a movie? You just gave us the answer? Did you give us the answer? All of the entire game is there’s a movie and then there’s a series. So I’m always gonna tell you both those things. Oh yeah. Oh, it’s true or false. Is it true or false? True. Yeah. True, true. I was gonna say no, so I’m gonna stick to that answer, ’cause I don’t remember this. Yeah, it was real. And here’s a clip. Judy, what did he do to upset you? Well, I’m afraid he may be, well you know. Sort of perfect for me in every way. Yeah, yeah, that would be a bummer. I’m just not ready for a serious relationship right now. Yeah, you’re right. Why not play the field till you’re in your mid sixties? Neither one of those were Dolly, but. Very Dolly-esque. Dolly hair. The one in the middle is an actress that I remember. I can’t remember her name. Like the hair itself, the staging of like how close the actors could get to each other. Yeah, right, right. I gotta say I kind like it. I kinda like it. The bigger to better in my opinion. I’m trying not to make any more sexist jokes after the, the doll segment. Oh god. One of the actresses played Babette in Gilmore Girls for you Gilmore Girls fans out there. The one in the middle, right? Yeah, yeah. What is her? She’s been in a lot of stuff. The one with the more like brown hair looked like Kristen Wiig at first. The mullet? I was like, oh, is that Kristen Wiig? She hasn’t aged at all in 30 years? Give me another. Home Alone. The original came out in 1990, the series was short-lived ’97 to ’98. No way. There’s no way. It feels like something to somebody would’ve tried, but. They kept squeezing it into movies with varying degrees of success. But like, there’s no way you can keep losing a child every episode of a television show. Yeah, I don’t think it’s a, it’s not a great premise for a season. Well, I don’t think that would be, I don’t think every episode. Home Alone. It’s just like a latchkey kid? Well, I think probably if the series was real, which it wasn’t. It wasn’t. You know, there’d probably be like a seasonal arc, but I don’t know if it was like every episode. I don’t know. You’d really start feeling sorry for that kid. Dumb and Dumber. The film was in 1994. The series was ’95 to ’97. I would’ve known about that and watched it. You know what I actually think, I think there was a show and of course it was different actors. It might have, I think it was a female version. Nah, but it was real. It was real? But not a female version. Here’s a clip from the show’s intro. Oh, it’s a cartoon. There’s no words. Okay, so it was animated. That makes sense. No, I think that was live action. I wasn’t looking too closely, but, well, they didn’t say anything, so I can’t, I can’t really get the vibe. Yeah. It feels like. Bet it’s stupid. Doing it as a cartoon, it’d be tougher to capture just how dumb it was. Like you’ve re-watched Dumb and Dumber or watched Dumb and Dumber for the first time, like probably in the past 10 years. Is that true or not? Yeah. And it’s just so stupid. You’re lying. You’ve never seen Dumb and Dumber? You still haven’t seen it? I think that we tried to watch it with my kids and they were like, this sucks. Yeah, that’s part of it. And so, but Lando said I was there, but I don’t even remember being there. Well, you should try again. I haven’t seen it. I mean, I think I’d rather watch Step Brothers. Right? If I had to choose a movie that I should see. That’s a different time period. Yeah, it is different. It’s a different, Dumb and Dumber was just like, it’s so dumb that it comes back around and becomes incredible. Like, you know what I’m saying? Well that’s not why I haven’t watched it. I haven’t watched it ’cause I thought it was dumb. I haven’t watched it for the reason why I haven’t watched anything. ‘Cause I’m- Too busy. I’m too busy doing other stuff that I can’t really explain. I don’t, I don’t know. It’s a mystery to me, too. Yeah. It really is. You don’t have a day planner so you can’t be that busy. Rambo. 1982 film, 1986 series. See, now I’m thinking that could be a cartoon, too. It was a cartoon. I watched it. Okay, I believe you. Yeah, it’s real, here’s a peek. Get me Rambo. Yes, yes. From the canyons of skyscrapers, to the canyons of remote mountain peaks, liberty’s champion is unstoppable. Rambo. So it was basically. Yes. That’s badass. If GI Joe was not an ensemble cast, basically. Rambo don’t need no help. Same exact animation style. That’s cool, man. Yeah, I remember watching that. That’s cool. That voiceover. I’m surprised that slipped under your radar ’cause you watched a lot of that stuff back then. I would’ve been into that. That voice. But I think because I haven’t seen the movies- Rambo. I wasn’t into the show. I need Rambo and I’ll take no one else. Isn’t that iconic? It’ very GI Joe-ish like you said. Definitely. it’s like he’s kind of an old powerful man is the vibe of the voiceover. Yep. Yeah. Old powerful man, yeah. It’s like, Does he talk like that in his normal life? Rambo. I hope so. We need Rambo. I’d like to order a Big Mac with fries. I’m sure Sly Stallone did not do the voice. Who did the voice and what did they sound like? Probably pretty close. The VO guys that have to, like. You know who did the voice? Sly Cologne. Oh yes, yes, right. We’d like to take a moment to invite you to check out the Mythical line of podcasts. Of course you know about Ear Biscuits, but do you know about Best Friends Back, Alright? Yeah. With Stevie and Neagheen. Do you know about Dispatches from Myrtle Beach, where me and my dad talk for about a half hour every week and we always learn something. Do you know about Trevor Talks Too Much? Do you know about A Hot dog is a Sandwich? Wow. There’s something for everybody. Don’t feel bad if you don’t listen to all of them. Just choose your lane and just pedal to the metal. I like that. I like the way you think about podcasts. The Exorcist. 1973 film, 2016-2017 TV series. Okay, I’m gonna say there’s no way this would be a recent television show, so that makes me think that it might be real. But I feel like I would know about it if it was that recent. This feels like something that’s after the, what we’re, you know, the renaissance, the golden age of television that we’re in, of like people spending all this money on television. You’re talking about more of the specialization period of television? Yes. When there’s like, there’s a horror channel, like a whole streaming channel. At least one. Right. Can’t remember what it’s called right now. What’s it called? Shudder? Shart? Shudder. Shudder. Ol’ shart, the ol’ shart channel. I bet this could be Shudder series. So I’m saying yeah, yeah, yeah. Exorcist every week. Totally makes sense. Somebody new gets exorcized. Totally makes sense, but ’cause I feel like I would’ve known, I feel bad that I don’t know about it, so I’m gonna have to say no. It’s real. Oh yeah. Here’s a clip. I am not a crazy person. Oh wow. I’m saying you’re crazy. There is something inside my house. It’s a demon. Is that Geena Davis? A demon? And it’s trying to take my daughter. Oh god, oh my god. Oh, we know about those crows flying into stuff. See that, that’s what we did in Hazel. Except our crow did not make it halfway in to the sliding glass door. It just like became a crow from like, from Amazon. It flew into the door and then it became a crow from Amazon. So, once she moved out of female baseball, she had a daughter who had a demon inside of her. Geena did a few things between A League of Their Own and that. She was in a really great movie in the nineties that I loved. What was it? Is Geena in- It was an action movie? What? You know what I’m talking about, Morgan? I’m looking it up. The Last Action Hero? She was like a star of an action movie. She was badass. Thelma and Louise. Oh, that was a good one. Yeah, that was a movie. Is she in the new, as you’re looking for that, is she in the new League of Their Own? Does she make a cameo? She’s in Pussy Island, whatever that is. Okay, yeah, I’ve seen that. Disappointing. The Long Kiss Goodnight, Grey’s Anatomy. I think I’m thinking about Long Kiss Goodnight. Is Sam Jackson in that? Okay. See, I saw that. How did I see that? She had the Geena Davis show, 2000-2001. Yeah, that was a good year. That was one of my best years because of that Geena Davis show. It really perked you up? It really kept me going. Okay. Huh. ET, 1982 film. Yeah, this is animated. ’85 to ’87. Animated. Oh yeah, you’re probably right. Yeah, anything that could be done, ET did it in the eighties. I recently found out that the young actor that played, what’s his name? Peter Elliot. Elliot. Yeah, Peter. Lives in my neighborhood. Oh, hello. Hello, neighbor. Elliot lives in your neighborhood? Yeah. Apparently he is a grown up now. It’s weird. He grew up. His audition tape for Elliot went around a couple of years ago and he was like, a wreck, like in tears in his audition tape. Oh, it was amazing. Incredible. It was incredible. I’m gonna say because it makes too much sense, I’m gonna say that it didn’t happen. Yeah, there was not a TV show. Oh, you got me. Says that there was almost a feature length film sequel. You got me y’all. Called ET 2 Nocturnal Fears. Yeah. That never happened? Just leave it be. Yeah. There was a Forrest Gump script that was never executed again. That’s right. Harry and the Henderson’s 1987 film, which was the year I was born. I watched the show. Yeah. Oh yeah. 1993. Oh, you’re fans. I did not see the movie, but I remember being really excited about the show. Okay, let’s bring back some memories for you with this clip. Comedy. See. Look how funny it is. It is a good comedy. That’s a good suit. He’s about to get hit by a Jeep Cherokee. And see, they take him home. He’s cute. I mean, oh gosh. Is that a wiener hanging down there? It looked like one. That is a good suit. I think it’s one of the best practical effects faces that I’ve seen on anything. I know. Like, why is it so good and convincing and doesn’t look stupid and his mouth moves and his eyes move. And there’s lots of, because I know that it’s being controlled by someone. It’s not like an actor’s face that is doing it. It is an actor’s face for the eyes. No, it might be like, it might be a really expressive. I think I’ve seen a YouTube video where the guy is controlling it. They did something similar for the Ninja Turtles movies, I believe around the same time. But something about the Ninja Turtles- Didn’t look nearly as good. Because they’re fake turtles that don’t look like real turtles. It just looks like a sculpture moving. But that looks like what you would imagine Bigfoot would look like. I kind of wanna watch that again. Hey, what you doing this afternoon? Watching that again. All right. That’s actually the second thing that Hulu recommends to me. MASH and Harry and Henderson’s. Check out our entire slate of Mythical Podcasts. Brand new seasons of Dispatches from Myrtle Beach and Best Friends Back, Alright are out now. And in case you missed it, Ear Biscuits, Sex-tempber returned this year. Whoa.
