6:31 Yes, Agent Orange was a chemical herbicide and defoliant (caused leaves to fall off of trees). Most people think Agent Orange was only used in Vietnam, but the US Military kept using it into the 1980's in places like Guam.
43:39, Jamie Lee Curtis's nickname in the 1980's was "The Body". You should check out her movies Perfect (with John Travolta) and True Lies (with Arnold Schwarzenegger). She definitely lives up to the name in those films as well.
I like it that people watch True Lies now and think the 'trick' was that Jamie Lee Curtis had a smoking body under the housewife attire. When we went to see it at the time, we saw it at the beginning being the thing that they made smoking hot Jamie Lee Curtis up like a dowdy housewife.
Squash is a sport between 2 players using racquets and a small rubber ball where they play in a room using all four walls to hit the ball against trying to make each other miss the return shot. It's also a fruit.
It's is a fruit but it is only called a squash in North America. It is just a pumpkin in the UK, Australia, NZ and anywhere else that speaks British english. Pumpkin, tomato, Cucumber, Capsicum (Bell Pepper) and Eggplant are actually all fruit pretending to be vegetables. It is true. Look it up.
Pumpkin is a specific kind of squash. Tangent, I have heard Brits say "tomato sauce" as slang, you ask for that here, you will be asked which kind you want.
"Trading Places", "Gran Torino", "Blazing Saddles", "42" and many more great films have racist language in them, and it's extremely important that they remain. It's vital that we continue to see and hear what bigoted and racist people say and do, so that we never forget why we chastise them. Those characters show us how NOT to live and how NOT to treat others.
@@jlovestolaugh9308 ... Sadly, being sensible isn't as common as we think. Human beings have a long history of being cruel to each other, and all because of skin color and ethnic differences.
Context: That is Murphys first real movie. It is hard to imagine because everybody knows him now..but back then those guys were essentially comics and this kickstarted their career. Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy on the other hand(the Dukes) were insanely popular movie stars decades before that and had hundreds of movies under their belt. Ameche even won an Oscar after this movie for an other performance he gave. So it is quite funny to see movies in the context of the age they were produced in. I find it real fun to look up the interesting stories that come with those.
Back in this time there was a popular string of commercial where someone in a busy, bustling public place asks an EF Hutton stock broker what they think about something and everything goes quiet, everyone in the room stops what they are doing and looks at the broker, there is an awkward extended pause, and then the narrator says the tag line “when EF Hutton speaks, people listen”
Trading Places was Murphy’s 2nd movie. The first being the movie 48 Hours which was a bit of a surprise hit. At the time 48 hours was probably the more popular among the younger crowd but Trading Places has definitely held up better and is definitely more popular by a good margin. I agree with Biss that it’s not really a Christmas movie even though Aykroyd does dress as 🎅🏻 in the movie.
23:21 The poster that's on the wall is for a non-existent movie called "See You Next Wednesday". It's a little Easter egg that director John Landis has inserted in a lot of his work. It's seen or mentioned in "The Blues Brothers", "An American Werewolf in London", "Coming to America", and the music video for "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, just to name a few.

Yeah, I was thinking when she said rich people wouldn't steal, and knowing that they screw millions of people over just to get a few more bucks that they will never spend because it just makes their net worth on the record as being higher. Though true, they still wouldn't steal from other rich people, but only because there's repercussions for that.
Depressing?? it's funny! Mortimer and Randolf are caricatures of the stereotype old money rich. They're like the embodiment of the 2 old guys on the Muppets who sit in the balcony cracking jokes.
Valentine and Louis were so called "selling short" the orange juice options, which means you bet that the price will fall. If you sell at 142 and then buy back at 29 (whatever currency), you get to pocket the difference - in this case 113 dollars or whatever. :)
That's not exactly correct, though partially is. They were selling futures contracts of fcoj at 142. Those contracts would be exercised at a future date (in April), which is when they would be required to provide the goods. To fill all those orders, they bought contracts at much lower prices.
The boys gave the Dukes a fake report that said the orange crop was going to be bad. Less oranges to go around would drive up the price, so the Dukes tried to buy as much as they can. Others saw what they were doing and jumped on board. The boys then “sold” options to those buying at the high prices (200 at 142). When the actual crop report was released indicating there was going to be a normal supply of OJ, everyone panicked that they had bought at too high a price, and thus sold everything until the market reached the normal price. The Dukes had bought high and sold low. With options, the consequences are multiplied.
@@BDogg2023Yeah, if you buy first then the worst case is you lose what you already paid, but if you short-sell then you risk the price going way higher and being forced to buy at that price to cover your obligation. (Except Winthorpe and Valentine correctly expected the price to go way lower, due to the real crop report.) Where the Dukes got screwed is that they not only invested the money they had, but also borrowed a bunch more money and invested that too (trading on margin). It had to be paid back at the end (margin call), but they expected to make a profit way bigger than what they borrowed.
Hello, squash is a game played with rackets and a ball inside a four wall Court. " They're the Ducks! " that's terrific Bisscute! Yes, just like " English Bob ". 😃
9:19. I never noticed until now, but that's a young Giancarlo Esposito standing behind Eddie in this scene. He played Gus in Breaking Bad. 29:46. lol, that was a joint, Biss.
Squash (the sport) is a little like racquetball. Squash is also like a pumpkin, yes. Agent Orange was the code name for the herbicide the US sprayed over the Vietnam jungles.
It wasn't easy for Coleman to send Louis away. And I always that Denholm Elliott portrayed the uneasiness very well. I always thought I can see the "sad apology" or "apologetic sadness" in his look and there's a twitch when he's almost ready to break the demeanor and tell Winthrope everything.
I need to watch this full movie sometime, there is great chemistry between Eddy Murphy and Dan Ackroyd. Really enjoyed your reaction! A movie with Jamie Lee Curtis that I would recommend would be A Fish Called Wanda.
Fun fact: Eddie Murphy later starred in the huge hit 'Coming To America". In the movie, he is a wealthy Prince from the country of Zamunda. The Prince comes to New York to find a future bride. One of the first things he does is give some pocket money _ a huge amount of money to a couple of homeless men sleeping on the street. Those homeless men are the Duke brothers from this movie. Upon receiving the money, one brother excitedly tells the other "WE'RE BACK IN THE GAME!"
Don Amache's & Ralph Bellamy's in-character's cameos in Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America" in '88 was a heckuva clever 'throw-back' to '83's "Trading Places", Biss'!👍
This film it's a classic, Great choice for the reaction Miss Bisscute. Loved your reaction as usual 💓💓💓 the two old rich men recovered their money in a cameo in the film: coming to América starring Eddy Murphy. You should react to that movie Biss😉
You saw a lot of Jamie Lee Curtis in tihs one. If you'd like to see her again, she has a great role in "True Lies." Also, I'm sure many people are recommending now that you see another Eddie Murphy movie, "Coming To America." I agree, you should see it.
18:55 Right there with you sis! Smacking your lips while eating food or chewing gum is like fingernails on a chalkboard to others….cringing. Amazingly fingernails on a chalkboard does not bother me. 😂😉🤘🏻 Thank you for sharing.
Great reaction Biss like always love this movie! And there are some fun-facts about this movie. The cop in booking that finds the PCP on Louis was Frank Oz, the famous puppeteer and voice for Yoda and many other Muppets and characters like Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Grover and Cookie Monster. He plays a similar role in Blues Brothers. And the the pawn broker is played by the one-and-only rock and rol hall of fame Bo Diddley. There are other Cameos too like, Richard Hunt as Wilson as a stock market trader, Al Franken as a Baggage Handler in the train, a young Giancarlo Esposito as a cellmate when Eddie character is in jail, and Jamie Lee Curtis younger sister Kelly Curtisas a cameo too as Penelope's friend Muffy on the scene in the country club. Keep up the good work. And merry X-mas for you and all of your familiy and friends.
Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell is also about a rich person getting poor. And it is cute. No spoilers, but his kids want to keep her as a mum. Best mum ever, even if she is fake!
Denholm Elliott (Coleman the butler) is one of the unsung gems of this film. His acting is so under-stated (except when Coleman is pretending to be a drunk Irish priest). Just before he locks Winthorpe out of his own apartment, he has a look of regret on his face that says, "My old boss was kind of a stuck-up snob, but he doesn't deserve this crap that my real bosses the Duke brothers are doing to him. I hate myself for the part I am playing in this sick game of theirs" all that in the briefest instant- just a look down before he closes the door. 19:23 And he has my single favorite line in the whole film: "Eggnog?" Fifty years of class repression boiled into a single word. 34:54
Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd trick two millionaires. Top actors (Murphy, Aykroyd, Curtis, Ameche, Bellamy, Elliott, Belushi ...) in an extremely funny comedy with plenty of social criticism by John Landis.

I NEVER comment on a person's appearance, and as a man, I prefer to focus on more substantial, less superficial aspects of a woman to compliment, but I am pausing just 49 seconds in to tell you how extraordinarily pretty you look. You have always been an exceptional beauty, but today you took my breath away and I wanted you to know. Now back to the video
The duck of death ! Of course I remember. 'Unforgiven'. 'Squash' is like racquetball or tennis. And his 'Suit Case' at the start of the movie, is a briefcase. Silly Goose! I say that in kindness Bisscute. This is a great old movie. Thanks for reacting to it.
Can't believe I watched this movie today TV glad you liked it Merry Christmas Biss. Eddie Murphy is from what in the one-time greats movies and stand-up comedian❤
Heya, Biss, This was a fun movie and I loved your reaction. This movie had a few Saturday Night Live alumni. Thanks Biss you look lovely as always my friend.
Great reaction, Madalina! Thank you for watching this film. To answer a question you asked, when an item is sold under shady circumstances, the item could be stolen or "hot".
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. As a guy in finance I really enjoyed the trading floor scene. Today nearly all trades are transacted by computers, but back then it was done by people. I am guessing Beeks lived out his life as a female gorilla. 🤣🤣
A must see Christmas movie is Rare Exports. A Finnish movie. Very Finnish. The Finnish name for Santa is Joulupukki. Meaning The Yuletide Goat. With horns, like the devil. He has very little to do with the friendly Santa other countries have. The Joulopukki knows who has been good, but more importantly, he knows who has been bad... The sack isn't for bringing presents. It is for carrying bad kids away.
26:11 There was an old TV commercial that went “When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.” That’s what this was making fun of.
"If you're gonna steal food, you steal the meat, you don't steal bread!" So do you approve of his salmon-under-the-beard theft? 😆
I think she said wasn’t hungry anymore after that scene 😁
6:31 Yes, Agent Orange was a chemical herbicide and defoliant (caused leaves to fall off of trees).
Most people think Agent Orange was only used in Vietnam, but the US Military kept using it into the 1980's in places like Guam.
Because it worked just make sure our men are out of the way.

and a "Fish called Wanda" very Monty Python Movie
Jamie was hot hot
Curtis faced some big competition in the late 80's as supermodel Elle Macpherson was also called "The Body".
Hello, Jamie Lee Curtis gets some her looks from mom Janet Leigh. Check out mom in " Who's That Lady? ".
I like it that people watch True Lies now and think the 'trick' was that Jamie Lee Curtis had a smoking body under the housewife attire. When we went to see it at the time, we saw it at the beginning being the thing that they made smoking hot Jamie Lee Curtis up like a dowdy housewife.

Worked in the commodities markets in Chicago back in the day. Those floor scenes when it was still open outcry are absolute legit.

I NEVER comment on a person's appearance, and as a man, I prefer to focus on more substantial, less superficial aspects of a woman to compliment, but I am pausing just 49 seconds in to tell you how extraordinarily pretty you look. You have always been an exceptional beauty, but today you took my breath away and I wanted you to know. Now back to the video
If you like Jamie Lee Curtis, you'll enjoy A Fish Called Wanda, a very funny heist film. She's brilliant in it.
The duck of death ! Of course I remember. 'Unforgiven'.
'Squash' is like racquetball or tennis.
And his 'Suit Case' at the start of the movie, is a briefcase. Silly Goose!
I say that in kindness Bisscute.
This is a great old movie. Thanks for reacting to it.
Thanks for watching
"Louie" sounds like the French pronunciation of "Louis" but it's the working-class nickname for someone with the name Louis.
"The Long Kiss Goodnight" is another great Christmas Movie with Geena Davis (Thelma & Louise) and Samuel L. Jackson
Can't believe I watched this movie today TV glad you liked it Merry Christmas Biss.
Eddie Murphy is from what in the one-time greats movies and stand-up comedian❤
One of my all time favorite movies!! Wooot!!
LETS F'ING GOOOO!! 👍😎👍
With inflation that 80k/yr then, is closer to 220k/yr now :)
"BEEF JERKY TIME!"
Sacred rich room 😂
Heya, Biss, This was a fun movie and I loved your reaction. This movie had a few Saturday Night Live alumni. Thanks Biss you look lovely as always my friend.
9:20 look at Giancarlo Esposito
I was just going to ask if anyone else saw Gus Fring there lol
"What the hell is a squash- is it like a pumkin?" You are right and wrong here at the same time.
Your impressions were actually funnier than the movie 😅
Great reaction, Madalina! Thank you for watching this film. To answer a question you asked, when an item is sold under shady circumstances, the item could be stolen or "hot".
Agent Orange = A very strong version of 'Roundup'. It kills all vegetation.
As well as anyone who gets the stuff on them slowly and painfully.
Agent Orange caused lots of health issues for soldiers returning from battle.
This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. As a guy in finance I really enjoyed the trading floor scene. Today nearly all trades are transacted by computers, but back then it was done by people.
I am guessing Beeks lived out his life as a female gorilla. 🤣🤣
I love it! Biss' abhorrence for the rich matches my own
A must see Christmas movie is Rare Exports. A Finnish movie. Very Finnish. The Finnish name for Santa is Joulupukki. Meaning The Yuletide Goat. With horns, like the devil. He has very little to do with the friendly Santa other countries have. The Joulopukki knows who has been good, but more importantly, he knows who has been bad... The sack isn't for bringing presents. It is for carrying bad kids away.
Hmm maybe someday
