## Commentary Topics

* This is the original, not the remake, which was somehow worse than the original.
* Warwick Davis top billing over Jennifer Aniston, this was a different time!
* No build, they just show the Leprechaun immediately. Must've been a producer note.
* Pat hasn't drank in a few weeks because of Catholic guilt and the site of that Jameson bottle on the crowd makes his salivate.
* The decanter of liquor you see at the executive's office in movies looks like a Peach Snapple. You're not allowed to actually drink on-set in Hollywood, the Cheers finale interview with Jay Leno being a notable exception.
* Joe loved tiny character horror movies and counted the days when Leprechaun would be released. He didn't get 25 minutes into it when he watched it.
* Do you have to finish a film? Joe fast forwards, Pat has to watch. Though he watched Bicentennial Man in 5 minute increments over 6 months.
* Both used to spend hours looking for four leaf clovers and now kids don't go outside.
* Pat worked at Blockbuster during the Leprechaun in the Hood days.
* More executive notes: The Leprechaun's weakness has to be a four leaf clover.
* Memories of Jennifer Aniston in the sketch show The Edge.
* Joe loves Kelsey Grammar. He even watched Boss, but it was over his head and political and Joe knows nothing about government or politics.
* Pat's opinion on politics is whatever he thinks, will have no affect. Pat's voted, Joe hasn't and unfortunately, he told Janeane Garofalo that last week.
* The only Friend Pat's met is Lisa Kudrow, who was lovely. LeBlanc's in Episodes and it's nominated every year despite no one ever seeing it. Joe forgets Pat mentions Episodes after 20 seconds.
* Francis from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is in it, he's still chewing gum in this movie! Is that a reference?
* Does Aniston pop the top in this one? No.
* Pat never knew people had plastic surgery unless they looked like Joan Rivers. But the reality is, everyone has, including Joe's dermatologist.
* How is "little people" better than "midget"?
* Joe asked Ricky Gervais why he didn't shit on Leprechaun in his series with Warwick Davis.
* Pat co-wrote a movie for the Sci-Fi Channel called Mothman. It was Tremors style funny, had a kill every 10 pages, but Sci-Fi told him they don't make movies with any humor, so they rewrote it to nothing but kills and it's awful. The final line: "Like a moth, to the flame!"
* When Pat first got to Hollywood, every comedy script had a guy named Jimmy that was "a Vince Vaughn type".
* Joe met Vince Vaughn, who was playing hockey on Playstation with Peter Billingsley, straight out of Swingers.
* Pat has a story about Vaughn faking out the crew on Sex In The City by saying he wants to mess around with the material. Joe owns the pink velvet sheathed box set of the complete series.
* Bruce Willis is supposed to be difficult to work with, maybe he was just depressed working with Kevin Smith.
* Thoughts on The Hateful Eight, didn't we go down this road before? Well, Joe's excited and Pat is too despite wanting a little more variety
* Favorite movies of all time: Pat's is Goodfellas. Joe's was Goodfellas, then Glengarry Glen Ross, then Hannah & Her Sisters.
* Hollywood hypocrites talking about how people in their 90's look old.
* The meatloaf the Summer school dancer is eating looks delicious, Pat loves a Thanksgiving special at a diner.
* The cop pulls over the Leprechaun in a tiny car and just acts normal. Joe completely misses this scene.
* Is this movie in Ireland?
* Favorite Bruce Dern quotes? The scream in Coming Home (Pat). Cut the shit Kopeck, what's the goddam noise coming out of your basement? from The Burbs (Joe). That's his favorite horror comedy.
* There was a time that Oliver Stone would get $60 million to make a movie.
* Joe's ideal movie is a comedy Expendables. Dabney Coleman, Howard Hessman, Craig T Nelson, John Lithgow, Kelsey Grammar, Martin Mull, every funny guy that reminds Joe of his dad. Dabney Coleman's breath always smells like coffee. Same for Martin Mull. Pretty much all those guys. They're all mob guys in the witness protection program and have dementia, the feds are worried they'll start blabbing secrets so they have an old man home for elderly informants. And another character fakes dementia so he can get into the home to get their secrets. That's your Ben Stiller guy. Witless Protection? No, that's a Larry the Cable Guy movie.
* Joe's got a new tattoo. A vector graphic rendition of the Death Star from the Star Wars arcade game. He's also got a No tattoo (not the Ghostbusters), goes with his personality.
* Best line of Straight Outta Compton: "Why not?" - DJ Yella on why he's always trying to fuck that guy's girls. The boys both saw it recently and loved it, very comprehensive.
* What power does The Leprechaun not have? Unlike Gremlins, there are no clear rules.
* According to recent movies, Paul Giamatti ruins music.
* So many of the biggest actors got their starts in bad horror movies.
* Zach Galligan lived in Joe's NY neighborhood, first time they met Joe told him he loved Waxwork, they should do it on the pod. Second time Joe yelled at him when he was halfway down the block that he loved Gremlins.
* Fred Savage goes to Pat's poker nights and is a great guy.
* Pat was scared by Little Monsters and My Pet Monster.
* Pat had to answer the phone, "Hello Walsh residence, Patrick speaking."
* Pete Holmes tapes his Apple TV remote to a big piece of cardboard, very white trash Pete!
* The boys love Aniston in The Breakout, particularly the scene of her walking naked.
* They clearly didn't spend much time on this screenplay.
* The boys first hang was breakfast, where Joe was offended Pat had Mexican style eggs instead of pancakes, and Exorcist 3
* The boys go over the director's filmography, including writing an episode of Alf, directing Hunter and The A-Team, and the Police Academy cartoon series.
* When Pat was an NBC page, he gave a tour while hung over and cracks up seeing an ALF talk show where he was seriously talking with Dennis Franz. People would cancel going to Pat's birthday because of the annual snowfall and there's a picture of him at age 7 crying into an ALF cake.
* What happened to Bux-ton and Otho from Beetlejuice?
* Jeffrey Jones, despite the charges, still makes Joe laugh and he'd be perfect for their movie because his breath definitely smells like coffee.
* Vince Averill is very scared of horror films and his last scary movie experience was Gacey starring "the fat guy from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure."
* It's not fair to show scary horror trailers before a comedy.
* Joe demands Pat defend his love of Gremlins 2. People sure got over that Hulk Hogan scandal quick. That's the last thought as the credits roll.
* No more Leprechaun movies on the podcast.
