  • Making a star act with a T-Rex is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make Theodore Rex, from the court case that forced Whoopi Goldberg to be in it, to a writer/director ill-equipped to handle the situation.

    49:51 Hearing you guys act out the deathbed request of Stefano Ferrari's father had me laughing so hard. Bravo on cracking open my cold, soulless being and filling it with your comedy improv about old Italian stereotypes begging their sons not to dedicate their shitty movies to their memory. I had no idea my sense of humour dial was calibrated to such a specific setting.

    I appreciated the added clips interspersed. Not sure how long those have been included because I've been enjoying it audio only lately, but the effort is noticed and acknowledged!
    Edited to add: If the "guy from the bag" is a Jim Henson spy, he's definitely Pepé the King Prawn. "I am the guy from the bag, okay"
    Edited again: Stefano Ferrari is following the arc of Cillian Murphy's character in Inception. He's breaking down his father's empire to create something of his own, except instead of a pinwheel, it's a dinosaur buddy cop movie.

    Speaking of movies with puppets (or at least one character that was a puppet), I feel like there has to be a sh*t show somewhere in the 1986 remake of Little Shop of Horrors. Just the fact that they had to reshoot the entire ending is pretty crazy. Just an idea. Love the show. Keep up the great work.

    I hear you consider requests. My favourite movie 'Brazil' has a serious sh!tshow production, it would be fun to hear you talk about it.

    I personally rented this movie when I was a kid, I was only made fun of over it for years and years since then.
    No matter how good my taste is, no matter how many great things I've found, if my sister for instance ever questioned a decision of mine... THIS would be the movie referenced.
    I don't even know if I watched the whole movie. I don't remember any of it.
    I just remembered this movie existed, and I tried HARD to forget it too.
    I thought Whoopie did the same thing honestly, I just figured she bought every copy of this movie and had them all destroyed.

    Or Mike Myers as the dinosaurs 🦖 with his Shrek accent or his Dutch accent from gold member!!!
    I would see that remake!!!
    Anyways, I saw this movie or this experience as a kid in the 90s. I think it was on Tv 📺 one fateful day-once upon in the past! I think I was 7 or 8 when I saw this movie… Even my 8 year old mind couldn’t comprehend, what I just watched. I couldn’t tell if it was funny bad at the time or just really bad… But looking back on this movie it’s like that friend you remember but don’t talk about because he went to prison for unknown reasons…
    But,,, don’t worry that friend is getting out in 2 years and you’ll still probably not talk to him because your not really sure what he did to get in prison for the first place…

    Where does this fit in the misguided live action anthropomorphic comedy protagonist movie pantheon. Worse than Howard The Duck? Better than Tammy and the T-Rex? I doubt any movie could beat an average episode of the Henson Company's great DINOSAURS series.
    Certainly not as good as VELOCIPASTOR.
