GMMore 2311: How To Have The Best Movie Night

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re gonna have a cozy movie night. Apparently it’s a nineties movie night and we got $15 to spend. How would you spend your $15? Come along with us. But first, let’s play “Who You Talkin’ About?” We’re gonna read a comment that one of you wrote about one of us, and guess who it was about. Okay. Let’s see that comment. Let’s see that comment. All I see right now is the… Oh, is it on your thing? To, to, to. A-ha! Got’em! Oh, that’s reveal. Yeah, it’s right here. It’s always been here. It’s always been here. Every single time. Yeah. It’s never not been here. It’s always never been somewhere else. Rekklin TheShadow says “blank’s” all like, “I like to eat this the way it was intended to be eaten” like he’s some sort of mad man. So something that no one ever eats that one of us likes to eat the way that it’s intended to be? “I like to eat this the way it was intended to be eaten” like he’s some sort of mad man. That’s my guess is that it’s something no one eats, so there’s no intention behind it. It seems like something you would say, “I like to eat this the way it is intended to be eaten.” I could hear you saying. It does feel like something that I would say. It’s Rhett. I’m going to say it was me as well. But you know what, does it taste good? And I like to eat the waffle. With the chicken. And the chicken at the same time. Well, I didn’t say I like to eat this the way it’s intended to be eaten. Oh, but I’m like that. You’re all, you’re all like. Oh, I’m just like it. You’re just all like it. I think this is great. I think we really landed it from the start to the end. I love this bit. We don’t know how this works. and we don’t know how. No, I do love that bit. We don’t know how to move on. Usually I recognize that it’s there. And usually then we see the thing that was said, not like it was said. So we’re gonna watch “Clueless,” “Titanic,” “Wayne’s World” or “Goodfellas” and then we’re going to eat these things at different price points. Now, I will point out with $15, you could just decided to pull a complete Rhett and spend all your money. On three different movies? No, on just the food. Oh, no. I’m gonna stick to a movie. And just watch, sometimes I just watch the screensaver on my TV. Those can be mesmerizing these days. Yeah. Maybe it would be more interesting to start at the bottom and work our way up. Because the thing that everyone’s wondering is, “what movie are you going to choose?” And we’re gonna make you wait on that. Technically, if you do one from every category, it’ll be the right amount, right? I mean, yeah. I’m tempted to go with hot chocolate ’cause that’s certainly cozy but I gotta go with wine. I mean, it’s like, I gotta get a little bit of a inebriation for my evening. Okay, so. It’ll warm up your innards. Now like you said, this is a home movie, but I just, if I start drinking wine at home. You conking out? I’m gonna fall asleep. You’re doing soda? Yeah, I, first of all, I like to make it like I’m at the theater as much as possible. Okay. As you will see as this progresses. Without a doubt, If I make hot tea, going to sleep. Wine, going to sleep. Hot chocolate, what is this? Christmas time? Maybe for a Christmas movie. But I’m actually doing soda and I’m doing a diet Dr. Pepper, maybe a Coke Zero, because I want that caffeine to kick in so I can stay up and watch it. These are the things that a 45 year old man has to do. Do everything he can to not fall asleep. Okay, that’s fine. I’m gonna get lit. I’m good with that. I mean, how could this not be blanket? Blankets are great. I mean, sometimes I do have to go with a candle. If, like, if a dog has turded in the back corner of our TV room, which is a place that they like to sneak off to and turd. Do you just leave the turd there and light a candle and call it a day? No, I use toilet paper as a glove and I flush it. Yeah, and then still gotta light a candle. I’m so, and still gotta light a candle. What do your dog turds smell like? Not like candles. Sean craps on the reg around the house. Actually, usually in one spot, but it does not stink. I mean, I’m sure it does if I would’ve put my nose up to it but I haven’t done that and I’ve never smelled it. It doesn’t stink nearly as much as the cat’s crap. I’m gonna go blanket here because. I thought you were trying not fall asleep. Oh, no, no, no. It’s just on my knees. Notice I didn’t say a pillow. I don’t, as a rule, do not lay down or lie down to watch a movie because then I’ll start falling asleep. I don’t, I don’t lie down to watch a movie. I sit up straight. That’s the key. With an erect spine with a blanket over my knees. Actually, I don’t use a blanket, but it is an option here so I’m going to. Our blanket game is so strong in our house. I mean, we have, and we, I mean, there was a point where we would fight over blankets and then Christy was like, “you know what, we’ll just buy more of the same blankets.” Yeah. We have duplicates of every blanket that everybody fought over. And then we’d buy a different blanket and everybody fought over that one. So we get a duplicate of that one. So we have two of like three different types of blankets. And the dogs lay on the softest blanket. Like they’re not allegiant to any person. They’re allegiant to the blanket. So when I put on the blanket, that lures the dogs and Christy gets mad because Jade will want to be on the blanket. And then Jasper will just want to be where Jade is. So it’s not like the dogs will split up. Jasper likes to stay with Jade. Thanks for that. Thanks for letting us know about that. So all of that happens in my house before I watch a movie. Lots of stuff happens before I watch a movie. I have to go around, I have to turn off all the lights. I have to close the doors. You got that Google Home, do the program. Some of ’em aren’t on that. Hey Google, it’s movie time. And then I have to clean up the dog poop. And then I have to light a candle, which I’m not selecting. And then I have to, I have to put my, I have to get my Topo Chico. Yeah. Which isn’t on this list. Sounds like a lot of fun. People know, it’s like when I say, “all right, we’re gonna sit down to watch a movie or a television show,” they know it’s like, “all right, that means 20 minutes from now, he’s gonna be ready and then we’ll go in there.” Okay, good. My wife got us that big blanket. Y’all heard about the big blanket that’s like 12 feet long? We have one of those, too. The whole family, and now the family’s smaller. And my, you know, my oldest went off the college. Yep, and he’s never coming back. But all four of us could get under that blanket. We didn’t do that often. Do you do that? Nope, the whole couch, and Jessie had that couch, she got that couch made to go through the whole, I mean it kind of does this, but it goes through the whole side of the room and it’s, all four people can kind of be lounging, Under one blanket? Under the one blanket. It’s like 12 feet long. Yeah. When you’re not using it, it’s a little bit of a pain in the butt. The blanket is too big. The blanket is too big. I don’t use it ’cause it’s too big. We stuff it behind the couch ’cause she got the couch, it’s got the, it undulates and there’s a spot where it undulates out from the wall. A blanket hole? Just put the blanket in there. The blanket pit. Candy. I do not typically have candy on hand at home because we eat enough of that on this show. So I tend to not have it at the house. Yeah. But now that these options have been presented to me, there’s nothing, nothing, like a peanut M&M when you’re watching a movie. Can I just get an amen? No. I’m not choosing anything from that category. I’m gonna skip ahead to. Well, you’re not, I mean, you got 15 bucks. How you gonna do it? I might have to come back to it, I don’t know. I’m gonna go, I’m definitely going with popcorn. Yeah, undoubtedly. I like popcorn. A hot dog at home with a movie night? A home dog. I ain’t doing no home dog. I don’t eat hot dogs at my home. Nachos and cheese? You can put the peanut M&M’s and the popcorn in one hand and do that. Eat it is what I’m doing. That’s the motion for eating. That’s the international symbol for eating. Can I put? It’s not really. Is it? No. Can I put meat on my nachos and cheese? You can do whatever you want to, they’re your nachos. I’d like to do that. And now we’re to the point where we need to select our movie. Need to select the movie. I have $3 to spend. After you select the movie. Let’s talk about each one of these movies and whether or not you’ve seen them. I’ve seen “Clueless.” “Clueless”, one of my wife’s favorite movies. I have watched it at least once in adulthood with her and the kids. It was fun. It holds up in a certain kind of way, like as a snapshot of the nineties. Okay. Definitely entertaining, but definitely not my choice. I think that’s where Lando learned what a skank was. That’s where many of us learned what a skank was. “Titanic.” Very long movie. Very long movie. I remember being in middle school probably. Yes, I’m old. Maybe even high school, I don’t know, when “Titanic” came out. And I remember watching it and walking out of the theater and thinking to myself, “that’s the best movie I’ve ever seen.” Like that’s, I was, I got “Titanic’d”. You know what I’m saying? I know that it’s not the best movie I’ve ever seen. It’s not in even my top 100 at this point in life. Oh really? But in the moment, it was unlike anything I’d ever seen. First of all, I’d never sat down that long at any point in my life. Pretty epic. Well back then, like there weren’t, there weren’t as many entertainment options. Like, you know, a big blockbuster came out and it was like everybody was talking about Titanic for like six months. And so it felt like you had to see it in the theater. What year was that? Everybody saw it. ’97, so you were. So I was high school. No, I was in, I was a freshman in college. Wow, and it still meant the world to me. I remember “Terminator 2” was a really big deal. Biggest deal. That was a big deal, too. Biggest deal since Terminator. Movies were a big deal. Movies were a big deal. I’ll tell you what a big deal is. Just wanna throw this in there. Yeah, that’s a good time for it. The second edition of our comic book, “Blood Oath.” This one’s Rhett and Link versus Barbara and Jade, our dogs. And J.A.D.E, the A.I.

Get yourself this amazing, amazingly detailed story of dog peril. Now we actually recently watched “Wayne’s World” together with friends and it was a little bit of a accident. We were hanging out with some friends. It was happenstance. And we had watched something on YouTube. I don’t remember what that was. You’re not talking about me. Yeah, oh, you left. Yeah, I wasn’t there. You left. Because it was me and Jayden and Ward. Oh really? Yeah, it was, are you sure you weren’t there? Maybe I just left mentally. I can’t remember if if you had to leave. All I know is “Wayne’s World” came on as the next video on YouTube because it was like- Oh yeah. And we ended up watching it. You were there. I was there. Maybe you have seen a lot of movies you just don’t remember it. That’s true. And I remember thinking. It’s a great movie. Are we really, like, when it came on, we were like. We gonna keep doing this? Are we about to watch “Wayne’s World”? And then the credits were rolling. I mean, we watched the whole thing. It was a good movie. And it was like, it holds up in a way. Again, in a way it holds up. I went to a movie premiere last year and Tia Carrere was there. Oh yes. You know the “schwing” lady. The “schwing” lady is what we call her. She was there, man. I’m leaning towards “Wayne’s World”, but I kind of wanna watch “Goodfellas” again. I don’t remember much about it. Yeah, absolutely no doubt. “Goodfellas” all the way. I think I’m gonna watch “Goodfellas.” This is, this movie, man. Just the first scene. Do you need help? I can, I mean. I can’t reach it. Just the first scene alone. It’s just right out of the gate. You having trouble? This is the type of stuff that happens to me and I just, you know, and I just kind of have to sit down and cry a little bit and then I get up and I keep going. Yeah, that’s right. It’s all about getting back up. Oh, you hit the mic real hard. Okay, and I still have $3 to spend. We’re gonna watch “Goodfellas” together tonight, Rhett. This is, I mean, first of all, can I just say this is gonna be a good night. “Goodfellas”, long movie, lots of action. But I’m not gonna miss a second of it ’cause of that soda. I’m gonna feel good the whole time and I’m gonna have sweet and salty hands just back and forth all night long. What a night this is gonna be. I’m gonna have a pillow. I feel like that’s a mistake. With my $2 and then I’m also gonna have some hot chocolate as dessert for my wine. It’s okay if you have it after the movie. I can’t do that before the movie. Yeah, like right at the end of the movie, like during the credits. I’m gonna do that. And I feel really, really good about what I’ve done here. And we’re gonna be, we’re gonna be doing this. We’re gonna, how many “Goodfellas” are there? Is there a two? Is there a sequel? “Goodfellas 2”? “Gooderfellas”? “Bestfellas”? There’s not a, there’s not a sequel to “Goodfellas.” There’s a lot of “Godfather’s.” Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t even remember if Goodfellas is like, critically acclaimed at this point. What’s the Rotten Tomatoes? I just know that it was. What’s the Rotten Tomatoes on all of these? I love a good gangster movie. Let’s start with “Goodfellas.” Let’s see The Rotten Tomatoes on all these. It says, yeah, there’s not a sequel. There’s an unofficial sequel that came out the month before “Goodfellas.” I don’t know who, this is Reddit. Unofficial sequel, what? Just tell me the Rotten Tomatoes. 96%. 96%. Yeah, well that’s pretty dang good. “Wayne’s World”, what’s it got? Well, let’s guess, let’s guess. “Wayne’s World” has 47%. 74%. It’s pretty good. Oh, 79%. 79%. It does hold up. Certified fresh, man. “Titanic” has. 89%. No, 81%. 87. 87%. And finally “Clueless” has 63%. 69%. 81%. Wow, all these movies are certified fresh and 80 and above and they all, they’re all good. They’re all good. The critics consensus on “Clueless” is a funny and clever reshaping of “Emma.” “Clueless” offers a soft satire that pokes as much fun at teen films as it does at the Beverly Hills glitterati. That’s why I think “Clueless” holds up. It doesn’t, like they made it like an act, like a parody of a timepiece in a way. I think it’s. Yeah, that’s true. A parody of a timepiece. You’re definitely picking “Clueless”, right Stevie? Yeah, for sure. For sure. You gonna have a blanket? Oh yeah, always a blanket. And Ringo does prefer the soft blanket so I do also lure him in. You wanna lure him in? What’s your, what else are you spending? Popcorn for sure. I like wine. I’m in the wine boat. Wine and popcorn works. Yeah, it’s good. And you don’t get filled up on food so the wine has its maximum effect. There you go. And then, yeah, the peanut M&M’s, it’s the only, it’s the only choice really. Only logical choice, I mean, who’s gonna get Snow Caps? You know, that person should be put in the back of a trunk and Joe Pesci should just come up to them and. Doof, doof, doof, doof, doof. So we don’t have candy in the house either. But if you’re gonna have a movie night and you just get one of those little candies and you’re like, we’re having a movie night, psychologically does wonders. It really is like, oh. This is a movie night. You know what? I haven’t thought about this. You just get a little box of candy? Go to the drugstore. Yeah. You get a little Tupperware that says, “just for the movies.” Don’t, that ain’t gonna work. You don’t have to have Tupperware. No, I think you do. Gotta buy it. Okay, sure. Just for the movies. And let’s not throw around the term Tupperware unless we mean it. Tupperware is a specific type of plastic wear that if you push in the middle, it seals effortlessly. Really? Yeah. Put in a Pyrex. Put it in a Pyrex. Join Third Degree Monthly by January 31st to get the second issue of our comic book “Blood Oath”. Mythicalsociety.com.
