GMMore 2687: Guess The Translated Movie Title

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Uh, the crew has taken movie titles and run them through a translator into another language then into another language and into another language and into another language and then back to English. Can we decipher what the movie title was originally? I bet you we can, but first we gotta give you a quarterly report on our latest business endeavor. Uh, Indoor Outhouses. Ha! Yeah, it’s a, it’s, um… Been a little bit of a slog. It saves a little bit of, we thought it was a good idea because, you know… You remove your toilet and then you just put a hole in your house. Like you put a deep pit right there, and then you, and then, um, somebody comes once a once a week and sucks everything out of it. Well, but the problem is, is that, uh, most people are installing them on. The second floors and the hole is just another room. Yeah. And they didn’t know that. And, uh, it’s really ruined a lot of children’s lives. Yeah, there’s nothing like taking a dump in your daughter’s room. Yeah. Right. It’s like, you know, we’ve got, we’ve got a couple of testimonials. Like we opened up the website for testimonials, but it’s really just one girl who’s like, I never wanted to see my dad’s butthole in my ceiling. What? Yeah, I mean. Yeah, and it’s, we, we, we’ve tried to block her, we can’t. If that doesn’t paint a picture for you, go to our website, cause she’s uploaded pictures. So it’s not going great, I’m sorry if you. One daughter. One daughter is all it takes to tank a business. It’s just one. All righty. Uh, and I get to inspect you. This is what they’ve given me to give you an investigation. What do you want? Let me look at Oh, I’m not gonna look at anything yet. I’m gonna play the game first. Oh. Let’s play the game. Okay, let’s see the first one. Input Blank. Dumb and dumber. Irritated and irritated. Went from English to Khmer to Malaya… Dazed and Confused. to Corsican to English. Dazed and Confused! Okay, alright. Irritated and Irritated. I thought you had it the first time. Yeah, the first guess was really great, but no. Dumb and Dumber, Dazed and Confused, Thelma and Louise. Irritated. Mad? And angry. Is that a good movie? You’re on the right… Blank and blank. I wouldn’t use… I would use irritated as a semi synonym for one of the words in this title. Um, so if you can, if you can figure that out, you might, you might be able to. Fast and furious. Boom! Boom! Boom! You see that? Yeah, you’re correct. That’s weird. Irritated and irritated. How did fast and furious both become irritated? Irritated and irritated. Okay. I think I understand this game. That’s kind of an accurate description of the Of where we’re going? Of the movie as well. Uh, yes. No, I don’t know. I’ve never seen, I’ve never seen it. Who am I to cast judgment on such a popular franchise? I’ve seen one of them. I think I saw eight. But isn’t Corsican your, uh, second language, Stevie? Yes. Yes. Of course it is. I am Corkasian. Corkasian. Let’s see the next one. Fictional Junk. Fictional Junk. Fictional Junk. – Uh, What’s that movie with… – Fake Trash? With uh, Will Ferrell. Dodgeball. – No, where he play, he’s in the… – I think he is in Dodge.. Is he in Dodgeball a little bit? He’s in, he play, Stranger than Fiction. Fictional, okay. Fictional junk, Fake Trash, Fake News, Fake, Junk. Turkish to Khmer to check back to English. Trash. Fictional. True, true lies. Oh, you know what? It’s gonna be like magical, or it’s gonna be like, mythical, magical, Fantastic. I think this is like a, it’s like a typical movie if you’re asked a guy like, what’s your favorite movie? And he’d be like, oh, it’s Pulp Fiction. Yeah. Pulp Fiction becomes fictional junk. Hold on. Hey, listen, Stevie. I take that personally because both of us said that our favorite movie is Pulp Fiction. Hey, there you go. And you just think we’re typical guys. Huh? Just typical guys? Just typical guys. But you know what? I recently re watched The Big Lebowski. Yeah. And I think I might like it more than Pulp Fiction. That’s Cassie’s favorite movie. I think it holds up. That was one of my favorites. I can see the threads in your shirt. She’s a pretty typical guy, though. Yeah. She likes the Big Lebowski the most? That’s her, yeah, that’s her fave. – Let me see your… let me look at your pores. – It’s everything about it is funny. Oh, wow. Yeah. I’m looking at your pores. Pores. Right there. I mean I’m looking at your nose. You got some fuzz on it, but nothing that needs to be plucked. Yeah, I don’t typically pluck my, uh, my nose. Oh, I do. I have these, I have these hairs that grow on my nose now. It’s a nightmare. They’re long, and sometimes they’re dark. Maybe you should let them go. Oh, no, no, no. It’s like, I kept plucking between my… You could grow a little nose beard. My eyebrows, and then it’s like, it’s like, the the hairs are trying to go down my nose or something. I don’t know what the deal is, but I do see you, you might need to get, you might need to get some of these blackheads removed though. You got a few of those. I need a strips. I need those strips. You might need a strip there. Now I’m looking at the end of your eyebrow. Hmm. Okay. You’re getting a little wily. Okay. Okay. You can tell that you’re moisturizing. Dear Detective Lawrence, Detective Neil showed up today and investigated me. That’s your white patch right there. It seemed like he was mostly interested in the physical. What do you want me to inspect? Like your deepest fears? Tell me your deepest fears. Alright, let’s see another one. Sheep peace. Sheep peace. Sheep peace. Kazakh, Vietnamese, Persian, back to English. Sheep. So, um Sheep peace. If it’s not a sheep I don’t know any movies with the name sheep. Shaun, Shaun the Sheep? Shaun Goat. Could be goat. – I think sheep became goat. – Goat war. Um, peace. This is interesting. What is a sheep peace? Is that when they’re all getting along and… It’s a temporary state of a herd of sheep. – You were on the right track about the… – Goat? Well, but you picked the wrong comp. – It’s not a sheep. – Lamb. Yeah. Silence of the Lambs. Silence of the Lambs. Sheep peace. There we go. Yes! Yeah, that one. Uh, how does that movie hold up? I bet it does. Oh, yeah. Great? Definitely. That is a classic. I don’t think I’ve ever been not scared enough to watch it all the way through. It’s not scary. It’s not really scary. It’s disturbing. It’s just unsettling. You know what I mean? It’s like, it was the father of all true crime, huh? It’s like a really good true detective. Yeah, except it’s not true. Oh. Yeah, fake crime. Fake crime, Pulp Fiction. Okay, next. Losers of marriage. Wedding Crashers. Oh. Yes! Yes! Losers of marriage. That doesn’t seem… Isn’t that the bride and groom? Dear Detective Lawrence, today I was challenged with a game. The game was to be told a title of a movie that had been run through the following languages. English, Irish, Marathai, Russian, and then back to English. I saw Losers of Marriage, and the first thing that I thought was Wedding Crashers. Turns out, I was right. Do with that what you will. Sincerely, Mr. McLaughlin. That’s the rest of the, that’s the rest of the letter. And then you died. And then I died. Speaking of, uh, Irish, do you see who was walking beside me when we were at the Emmy’s several weeks ago? Uh, yes, Saoirse. Yeah. I asked Jacob who that was. You asked what? What’d you say? I asked Jacob. Oh. Who? I was like, who’s that blonde beside Stevie? Oh. Great, I’m sure she heard that. Seersha? Shorsha? Seorsha? Saoirse. Saoirse. Ladybird? Ladybird. Oh! Seersha. You didn’t talk to her. What? I mean, no, I didn’t know. Like, oh, hey. Love your work. Love your name. We’re walking here. Aren’t you Irish? Yeah. I felt like I didn’t have a lot to add to the just, like, being beside her. I could’ve said, you know, it’s so nice to be beside you right now. But I didn’t. I was like, don’t look at her! You should have. Just don’t look at her. Just look straight ahead. Next time. Next time. Yeah. Well, she’ll hear this. I looked at her while I was talking to you. But I was talking about her, so it seemed fair. Do you know who’s right behind you? Saoirse. Let’s do another one. Saoirse. An impolite suggestion. Saoirse. Um, An Indecent Proposal, Indecent Proposal. Great movie, by the way. Castilian to Somali to Indonesian, you got it immediately. Indecent Proposal. This is Demi Moore and Michael Douglas. And does Woody Harrelson play the husband? Woody Harrelson, yeah. It’s Robert Redford. Robert Redford is the one who makes the Indecent Proposal. For one million dollars, One night with your wife, and then they’re like trying to, they’re like negotiating it. Who’s paying? Robert Redford, he’s an old rich man. And they’re like a couple in need of money. So he was paying to be with the guy’s wife to give him money? So, rich man sees attractive woman, finds out she’s married, just tells the husband. I’ll pay you a million dollars. To sleep with her. Well, that’s an indecent proposal. That’s an indecent proposal. You might even call it an impolite suggestion. Yeah, that is not a polite suggestion. What happens? I’m not going to tell you. Is there murder? I’m not gonna tell you, man. Like, what kind of movie is it? Dear Detective Lawrence. What am I gonna do? Detective Neal played bad cop today. Hey, Christy, let’s watch Indecent Proposal tonight. And try to get the information out of me about Indecent Proposal. Why would I ever watch Indecent Proposal? It’s a good point. I would never watch It’s a fair point, I’d say. I don’t know, man. It’s just, I don’t know. It’s a good premise for a movie for just a couple hours of fun. It isn’t really happening. It’s just fiction, man. Okay. You know? Yeah. It’s just fiction, man. I ain’t got time for that. Next. I’m disgusting. Despicable Me. Ha ha ha. Boom! Wow. Yes. I’m disgusting. I mean. I didn’t realize, uh, our friend Jason Segel’s in, is in this. I didn’t know that. None of these got better through the translation. I’m disgusting. And. I don’t know. – If they put it… – I’d go see that. So you have to like, when they’re translating movie titles to be marketed in other countries, they do a little more than this, I hope. They like, they make it still a good title. They make it make sense in that, in the context. I would hope so. All right. Is that the last, do we have one more? Yeah, we have a couple more. Oh good. That’s all there is to it. That’s all there is to it. That’s all there is to it. Oh, it’s uh, I can’t — Describe it, I’ll help you out. She’s All That. Oh my god, what, how, why? Why? I don’t know, just because I was, because all and that is in there. What is She’s All That? That is, that is, oh god. Stevie loves this movie. It’s, it’s a prime, it’s, it’s in the right, like, three year span between, like, 98 and 2001. The best three years of my life. It’s, uh, it’s so good. Supersize my balls, please. You know? What? Have we moved on, or? So good. Highly recommend. And it holds up. It’s such a good movie. Yeah, it really does. They don’t make, like, high school movies like they used to. You know, can I tell you what I’ve been thinking lately? That’s all there is to it. What I’ve been thinking lately is I’m so overwhelmed with all the media options. And I just was like, and I don’t know if this is just me getting old, but then I was like, there’s this mentality, like when you’re like, what am I gonna watch, right? And you start, and the place you usually start, I think, is like, what’s, what are people watching right now? Like, what’s good right now? What’s, what’s the best thing to stream in 2024? What’s the best? Yeah. I thought to myself, what about everything that I missed? Or, everything that I loved. And so lately, I’ve just been deciding to watch The Big Lebowski, cause I’m like, I know exactly what I’m getting myself into and it’s gonna be great. And also, like, going back and being like, what TV shows did I never watch? You know? I’ve been doing it mostly with movies, but… You were telling me about, don’t you think it would be fun to go back and watch old episodes of Matlock? And I was like, I didn’t take the bait on that one. No. I just think that there would be something about, because one of the, there’s a, there’s a new layer of entertainment value that is in watching something old, and it’s just like, watching something from a time that you were alive, that you remember, that they would, they were just doing it, it was just the present for them. And it’s kind of fascinating. And it’s just like this whole thing, so yeah, that’s what phones were like. The added layer of watching a movie that was made in the past is that… You remember what it was like to live in that time. You get to see people who made things at another time. Yeah. I also feel like there’s like, because there, there’s so much more value placed on old content because there wasn’t as much of it coming out, so everything, I don’t know, it’s… And stuff that’s held up, like, stuff that, as we continue to just throw more crap into the, – into the media landscape every single year – Not us, not us. We don’t throw crap. Definitely us. And then you just see, like, okay, what held up, what’s still watchable, and I’m just gonna be like, life’s short, just watch the watchable stuff. That’s the direction I’m moving into. So ask me about Matlock in a few weeks, and I’ll know everything there is. One last one, because you are, you’re on a roll here. And I slept with a murderer. I married an ax murderer. So I made a net, this is um, I think I found my new game. Dear Detective Lawrence, I think I found my new game. This is um… It’s out-smarting you. What’s his name from Wayne’s World? Mike Myers. Mike Myers? Actually never saw it, but you know what? Maybe I should. Does it hold up? It probably doesn’t. But he’s gonna be thinking about how it was made in the past. And that’s gonna give him that added level of — that’s what phones are like. entertainment value. Oh, look at their clothing. That’s what an axe was like. Yeah. October’s Pin of the Month is dropping this upcoming Monday, October 21st. It’ll only be available at mythical.com for 24 hours.
