GMMore 2422: Are These Movie Sequels Real Or Fake?

Welcome to “Good Mythical Morn.” I’m so glad. We’re better than join us. Yeah, we are better than twins. We are better than twins, man. Hey, this is a good five thing. It actually kinda hurts. Well, you get one too. No, just I want, I want you to do this one. Oh, god! See, it hurts. So you gotta get one of these. This is like the new way to give five in the new millennium, because of germs. Are we in a new millennium? Yeah, just about. Here. Here we go and put this one back, come on now. Put it in the green. What is it? We got more to do, dude. Yeah, movies, sequels, they’re cool. Yeah, no, sequels to movies that you didn’t know had sequels. We’re gonna learn you some. We’re gonna blow your mind. But first we’re gonna play ready, pet, go. This is when we look at a pet that you submitted. This one’s submitted by Grace. And then we guess the name of said pet. Oh, look at that. Oh my god, a cat, that has a- -[Link] Lion Mane Mutation? No, it’s a little, it’s a little circular hat. Simba! I think this is Cindy! He’s just, Simba, that’s a good guess. What about Biscuit? Biscuit What does Biscuit gotta- Biscuit. Yeah, Biscuit the lion. And so we won twins, huh? Yeah, would you like to- I’m so proud of us. Do you wanna know what that means? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we actually found your twins. Oh, really? And we brought them here. Oh, like those doppelganger that are out there running wild? It’s a long walk to get from where they were standing beside me to on camera. But here they are. Hi, twins. Hey. Twinning. You coming to the middle here? Nice. Oh my. Nice shirt, twins. Twinning. Yeah. Twinning. Twinning. You didn’t say that. I thought we were gonna- Here’s the thing, Chase. Twinning. I believe that’s you under there. No, I’m your twin brother, I’m Rock. I don’t listen. Rhett and Rock. I don’t look that much like Jesus. I mean, you got the Jesus wig and beard. How are you able to talk through that? You got the Jesus wig and beard from Party City, didn’t you? Is there even a hole? Or is a caveman? I think you could go caveman too. Stevie. I’m talking about the wig and the beard, I’m not saying that about you. I just got the more luscious jeans, you know? And I also got the chin. Yeah, you wouldn’t need a beard if you didn’t have it. Yeah, that’s pretty convincing. Seems like, you can clearly see one of my lips. Yep, I see one of your lips now. Which is the same as you, I can only see one of your lips. Yeah, that’s ’cause we’re twins. But let’s direct our attention to Link over here. Yeah, let’s go to Link over here. Hey, I’m like the same person. What? They’re the same person. That’s the same. Yeah, well we have, why do you keep looking. Link Two hasn’t said a word. Wait, Link Two is pretty quiet. We made the decision to not talk, in this episode. Stop looking at me! I’m feeling weird. Why you making me feel so weird? Look at us over here. You didn’t take your out. I can’t. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, I could, but it would close. Right, but I mean, for the bit. I’m only so committed to this job, Link. I can only do so much. Are you not noticing the back of Jordan’s head? Me too! I’m only so committed to this job. They also, they couldn’t fit all my hair in the wig. Oh my gosh. You know what, I have one of those too, don’t I? Oh my gosh! No, I don’t, I don’t have a a back of the head growth. We both have a little bit of like a mullet situation. Yeah, yeah, and are those your actual glasses? Yeah. See, twinning. We already knew that. Knew that. Okay, let’s with our twins help? Twins can help. Oh, you want the twins? Okay, the twins can help. We’re a team. Okay, let’s hear the first one. Okay, so I’m gonna give you a sequel, a prequel. This is actually a mid-quel, and you’re gonna have to tell me if you think it’s real or fake. Don’t put your fist that close to me, it makes me hungry. Bambi 2, the sequel to Bambi. Bambi. This sequel is actually a mid-quel that takes place in between the events of, spoiler alert, Bambi’s mother being killed, and Bambi growing into a buck in the first movie. It follows Bambi’s developing relationship with his father, the prince of the forest, as he teaches Bambi the ways of the forest and discovers there’s so much to learn about his spirited son. What are you doing? Are you- I’ve got a lot of fake wig hair in my mouth. Yeah, I deal with it every day. This doesn’t happen with my other mustache. It seems like everybody knows that this exists, but the thing that’s so strange is that a mid quel, did we really need that? I mean this is not a theatrical release. Well, it only becomes a mid-quel when you make the third one. I think this is a VHS release. I think so too. And I think it should be called me-quel, not a mid-quel. I think a mid-quel is like prequel, sequel. Like it when it takes place, it’s chronologically. What about a DayQuil? Guys, I just told you- That’s what she said. Where it takes place, Yeah but she said- It takes place in the middle of the first movie. It’s a mid-quel. Yeah, I mean, there’s no- But I know it exists. And it went straight to VHS. . Bambi became a buck. I for some reason, thought that Bambi was a female doe, a female baby. But in the movie, it fast forwarded to Bambi being a buck. I didn’t finish it. Forgot about that part, blocked that part out. I didn’t finish Bambi. So we both- Also Rhett’s twin produced this. So Rhett’s twin is not allowed to. I thought you meant Bambi 2. I was like Chase has done Bambi 2, that’s awesome. It was a- But not really though. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Little too close to home here. So you know the answers. Yeah, which is the part of our thing where we know everything. That’s right, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can’t help him. All right, so we agreed anyway. Yeah, it’s real. It went direct to DVD, a whopping 64 years after the original. Bambi 2. You know, Bambi is the reason that we have such an overpopulation of deer in this country. People are less fond of shooting them because of the movie? The reason that people hit deer on the road all the time. And I’m not making a judgment about this. I’m just saying, I’ve read about, the research was when “Bambi” came out, and it starts with that hunting scene. It basically killed hunting deer for our generation. Like, there’s still people who do it, but it’s very unpopular. And so now we have deer everywhere they were always hunted, and that was like, kind of kept things in balance. And now they’re just, they’re hunted by fast cars. Which is like the opposite of what happened to “Jaws” where people, when “Jaws” came out, people were so into scared of sharks that people started hunting sharks. And that’s why there’s so many deer, ’cause of “Bambi” and there’s so few sharks ’cause of “Jaws.” Yeah, doing a good job. Go on. Say a city, whoaooooooo! No, nope. Say a city. That’s not how it works. Any city. That’s not how it works. Sorry, I had it but I lost it. You’re annoyed. I’m sorry. We’re over it. We’re done. Yep. “My Summer Story” “My Summer Story.” Is this equal to “A Christmas Story.” Hm feasible. Originally titled, It Runs in the Family, Feasible. “My Summer Story” takes place during the summer, following the events of a Christmas story. There are several plots, how to tackle a bully, dealing with annoying neighbors, et cetera. Are those plots, sure. That follow each character including a young Kieran Culkin as Ralphie, and are shown in a similar narrated vignette format akin to the original. Kieran Culkin, he was in a “Home Alone” sequel. He was. Would he have moved over to, don’t listen to us. I’ve already guessed. We know. I think that either this didn’t exist, or this did, but it was like made by a different production company. Like, it wasn’t the same people that made the first movie. Oh, it was pirated? Not pirated, but they were like, we’re gonna pass this off to a kind of Hallmark type situation. Okay. I wonder how much time would’ve passed. The original Christmas Story was ’70s. ’70s, was there any any point where like, in the summer, what gets stuck to a pole? A penis, yeah. How? You know, like with heat. Like it welded to it? Summertime. Walking around naked, it’s the summertime effect. Yeah, summertime effect. ‘Cause of the lack, because of the overabundance of deer. Let’s tie it back into that, Chase. You know what, if we agree with them, there’s no way we can get points, but- Okay. But if they’re right, then they’re gonna get points. Yeah, I think we should go, no. I don’t think it exists, it is feasible though. I hope it doesn’t exist, sounds stupid. It’s real! Oh! That was our opportunity. My twin. “A Christmas Story was ’83. I’m sorry. “My Summer Story” was ’94. And it received mixed reviews- “My Summer Story.” But it cost 15 million dollars to make, and it saw a whopping $71,000 in box office worldwide. How could they be, how could it be that bad? Oh man. Especially with Mary Steenburgen. I know. Steenburgen. Wow, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mess this up, but I’ve never seen a penis stuck to a pole in the summer. So I got confused. I did too. And were you going against your instincts? I was. See we can’t do that. We can’t do that. We learn that, all the time. All the time. But you grew up in a do that humid place. It’s the humidity, the relative humidity is high. I’ve only seen penises slip right off poles, in the summer in the humidity. Well, I think if there’s enough pollution. And that’s- It creates a tack on the pole. It’s a kind of molassesey effect. That’s a really good TikTok sound. Right, and if it’s not clean, it might be. = That’s true, I mean and that’s why so many people hit penises with their cars these days. Right. Right. Okay, next one. That’s a good transition into this next one. “Groomsmen” a sequel to “Bridesmaids.” The sequel follows David, Josh Duvall, as he helps his best friend Anthony, prepare for his wedding. David quickly discovers the other groomsmen are eccentric to say the least. David must learn how to deal with these childhood friends of Anthony’s, and keep the chaos hidden from his best friends, so the wedding isn’t ruined. It was originally meant to be released in theaters, but due to Covid went straight to streaming. Oh, now that’s a little curve ball I didn’t expect. ‘Cause I was gonna say we would know about this if it happened, but with the Covid? Yeah. Were these plans Covided? You know, that there were talks about this. It’s just, you know, the movie was so good. It’s true. That they were like, we gotta do this again, with guys! Yeah, I think “Bridesmaids Two” is probably the better choice than doing it. Which that doesn’t exist either, does it? No. Hmm. I don’t think Josh Duvall was booking a leading role in the last three years in a comedy. Ooh. Ooh, I don’t think I know who Josh Duvall is. Exactly. You know who he is. Are you are you talking about Dudamel? The guy who, the orchestra. Gustav Dudamel, yeah, the guy that does the LA Philharmonic. Yeah. Gustav Gustavo. Yeah, yeah. He’s incredible. What about Gargamel? Right, what about him? Josh Gargamel. What about him? Chase, what about him? Yeah, we know Gargamel. ‘Cause we know everything. And Gargamel is the guy who, when you go someplace, you take the bucket and you, Gargamel’s right there. He’s in a cartoon. What about Josh Bechamel? Oh, Josh Bechamel, he goes great. Zooey Bechamel. A pair of teeth. Dechanel. Zooey Deschanel’s good. Bechamel is a sauce. All right, so I’m going against our, we’re going with our instinct. Yeah, I said no immediately. You said no immediately, that’s your instinct. I tried to trust my gut. But I’m gonna go against that because that’s what we do. Oh! Okay. Go against instinct. That’s what we do. It could be true. It could be Covided. Covided. All right, fine, but then I’m gonna go against my instinct to go against our instinct. Okay. Do you know, I think that lockdown. I think that Bechamel, I think Bechamel Gargamel. Josh Gargamel was in a romcom on Netflix starring opposite of Leslie. What’s her last name? That was in- Bibb. Leslie Bibb. Leslie Bibb and Josh Gargamel were in a romcom together. I caught my wife watching it one time. “The Lost Husband.” Yep, there you go. They found him. Okay, here we go, locked in. It’s fake. Yes, we did it! We did it, we did it, we trusted. We don’t celebrate like that. No, we know what we got. We love the way we celebrate. And you know what? Act like you’ve been everywhere. We’re happy people. Act like you’ve been everywhere. We’re happy twins. We celebrate the little victories. So true. And we’re grateful for what life sends us. Here’s the thing, if we celebrated the little victories, we would get tired. We would have our, yeah, our adrenaline would be all outta whack, we would be- We gotta pace ourselves. Yeah, we got so much self-esteem and self-confidence. Right. We don’t need none of that. That’s true. That’s right. “Staying Alive” a sequel to “Saturday Night Fever.” The sequel co-authored and directed by Sylvester Stallone, follows John Travolta as Tony Manero, former Disco King, six years after the original movie, as he tries to pursue dancing professionally, all while being in the throes of lust and passion with several partners. Wow, okay. So John Travolta came back six years later. I mean, “Staying Alive” was the theme song for “Saturday Night Fever.” I mean, so it was so huge. This is tough. It was such a huge movie. It was. What we hear about. I could see that- It’s real. It wasn’t that great, and we just don’t know about it because, you know, we were like being born at that time. I had other things to keep up with, like Ninny. Ninny. Yeah. Getting some milks. Yeah, even though I was a formula baby. I remember that for us. Are you with me on this? I’m a hundred percent with you. But yeah. Oh, you’ve seen it? It feels so familiar to me. And I’m a big John Travolta fan. Ew, really? Well, okay. I guess, no, ’cause I’m your twin. Right. But I love the movie “Grease.” Uhhhh! Okay wait. I love the movie “Grease.” I’m actually getting upset. Thank you Stevie. I love the movie “Grease.” T-hank you Stevie. I think that movie is, what? Tell me more, tell me more. Actually, Link has never seen “Grease” because we had this conversation recently about a song in “Grease.” Is that true? He’s afraid to watch it. That he did not. Okay, I’m gonna come to your house. I’m afraid it might- You’re gonna order us a pizza, and we’re gonna watch “Grease.” It’s unbelievable. I mean, this sounds like Is it gonna be a greasy pizza? Mythical Society content, if I’ve ever heard it. You have to watch it, it’s incredible. And there’s this one moment at the beginning where they’re all like, “Hey Danny, hey Danny.” And then John Travolta like turns around and looks directly into camera. And for that moment, I am straight. All the gayness leaves my body. I’m like, I love that man. Like, it really is, it’s transformative. I can’t even imagine what it would do to you. Yeah, that’s right. I just wanna clarify, when you come over, Christie’s not gonna be there. All right. Maybe I’ll do something with Rhett then. Thanks for clarifying, what? She just doesn’t like “Grease” either? That was a callback to the standup special. I wanna kiss his wife, in a respectful way. Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there. I just can’t do it, I just can’t do it. I’m sorry, as much as I like you and pizza, I can’t do it. Watch “Grease”? No. Me kiss your wife. I’m talking about “Grease.” Watch “Grease.” I can’t. I see, okay. But he flies a plane, and he’s a Scientologist. I mean, there’s two big check boxes for me. I don’t love that he’s, I maybe spoke too boldly when I said I was a huge fan. But I love the movie “Grease” and I agree with Link. It’s real. Yeah, it’s real. Can we see a movie poster? It had universally- Looks incredible. Negative critical reviews. He does look incredible. But it was a box office success. It earned 127 million dollars on a 22 million dollar budget. Wow. Why did Sylvester Stallone make John Travolta look like Sylvester Stallone? I want you to look just like me from Rebel. Yeah, how is it a Sylvester Stallone film? That’s so crazy. Tony Manero, knows the old days are over, but nobody’s gonna tell him he can’t feel that good again. Ha, see that’s how we live our life. = Absolutely. Nobody’s gonna tell us we can’t feel that good again. “Mean Girls 2” A sequel to “Mean Girls” follows a new high school student named Jo, who agrees to befriend an outcast named Abby, after Abby’s wealthy father secretly offers to pay for the college of her dreams. Jo and Abby develop a friendship and decide to team up to rebel against the school’s mean girls, The Plastics, all whilst Jo keeps her deal with Abby’s father a secret. Did you say whilst? Yeah. I love that word. Yeah, me too. Word. Whilst. All right, let’s go over the quickie here. Is it, or is it not? It’s worthy of a sequel, Meaner Girls. Yeah. That would’ve been a better title. So yeah, I’m saying nope, I’m saying nope as well. Sadly, it’s real. It premiered on ABC Family in 2011. ABC Family. It was released directly to video. How did I miss it? the Plastics are Back. So it didn’t have any recurring cast? I don’t think so. That’s the death debt mill. Tina Fey probably got cut. Principals. Probably, yeah. I would hope so. Unless she produced it. She created it. She gets a cut of the musical. She just probably didn’t write the second one, though. She’s like, I’m done with that mean girl. Hit me with one more. Man “Mean Girls” was so good. Let’s go out with a bang. “Mean Girls” the original is so good. It’s just so good. I know you love it. Patterned your whole life after it, did you? What? Did you pattern your whole life after it, no. No. I haven’t seen it. What is that a reference to? Hey, nobody worry, we’re saying stuff that makes sense, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody worries. It makes a lot of sense. Nobody worries. And if y’all don’t get it, that’s something going on with you. I like having Link’s twin here to help. I haven’t seen it. Explain it. You could either be- So I don’t have to do it. Who’s the hero, nice girl? Or is the hero the mean girl? It’s more complicated than, I can’t believe you haven’t seen “Mean Girls” It’s so, I mean, I can believe it, I can. Wait, what’s your favorite movie, can I ask? That’s kind of mean, Stevie. See, you’re patterning your life after it. That was mean to me. What’s your favorite, movie? “Mean Girls 2” I like some “Lord of the Rings.” I like some “Big Lebowski.” What’s your favorite movie, Twin? My favorite movie? The Travolta movie. Is “Grease” I just told you. Okay, well you know what, it’s our prerogative to change our minds Sure, my second- Actually- Wait. John Travolta is in your favorite movie as well, ’cause it’s my favorite movie. And we both said it was number one on our list. What is it? “Pulp Fiction.” “Pulp Fiction.” And he’s freaking’ in that movie. Wow. Yeah, he’s almost redeemed. He’s freaking in that movie. He’s awesome. He is so in that movie. He’s good, I’d say one of the ugliest Travolta pictures. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well you’re using pictures like movies, like old school? Yeah. Yeah, I like that. So who was, did we vote? We haven’t even been given another one yet. Oh, oh, it must be over. Yeah, is it over?
