(START)

John:
Okay.

Jason:
Are you going to start with a with a bang-bang? 

John:
No.

Jason:
You don't think you'll start with a bang bang?

John:
I wasn't going to…

Chris:
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? 

Pamela: 
Call the meeting to order. That’s a good movie

John:
(Taps Gavel)

Jason:
Wait were -- were we ready we were still talking?

(Laughter)

(Theme Music)

John:
Well hello there, and welcome to this – the inaugural meeting of the missing movie club. We wanted to start the podcast out with a bit of an introduction which is why we've called the special session of the club. Speaking of introductions, that'd be a really good place to start. Why don't we go around the table and introduce ourselves real quick? I guess I can go first. My name is john.

Jason:
I'm Jason.

Pamela:
Hi, I'm pamela.

Chris:
I'm Chris.

Jason:
‘sup.

John:
So now we'll pause for a second so you folks listening can introduce yourselves too. Ready?

(Pause)

Chris:
Wow that's such a great name. 

Pamela:
I know, right?

Jason:
It was cool.

John:
Okay! Anyway, moving on, let's talk about why we're here -- this podcast. This whole thing started because the four of us have had way too many conversations that went something like…

Chris:
Seriously? You've never seen that movie before? You're such a moron!

Jason:
I don't…I don't think I've seen that. It doesn't really fall in my wheelhouse.

Pamela:
Maybe we should get together sometime and watch it!

John:
Which sounds great except those conversations never actually led to us getting together to watch the movies being recommended. That's why we formed the Missing Movie Club, as a fun project together where we can watch and discuss the movies that some of us mysteriously missed --  Jason. None of us are celebrities or comedians or claim to be film experts. We're just regular folks who love movies.

Pamela:
I feel like we do have a good mix of different movie types that we like or don't like though.

Chris:
Yeah, like Jason you like old disaster movies right?

Jason:
I do I have a thing for gentlemen in distress.

(Laughter)

Jason:
There is something to be said about a good disaster movie.

John:
Or like movies that are disasters.

Jason:
This is true. 

John:
Yeah, you know those are fun.

Jason:
And Chris you like horror movies.

Chris:
Yeah, I enjoy good horror movies, comedies.

John:
Horror comedies.

Chris:
Horror comedies.

Jason:
They do have horror comedies. Final Girls. Final Girls is a good horror comedy.

Pamela:
I've never seen that.

Jason:
Well, I'll put it on the list!

John: 
We've never seen Tucker and Dale Versus Evil, either.

Jason:
I have not seen that either.

John:
I've heard that's really good.

Pamela:
I, no.

John:
That's usually not the kind of thing I watch anyway because you know I don't like the scary movies.

Jason:
I know.

John:
I think sometimes if it's funny enough I'm okay

Jason:
It takes a lot to be a funny scary movie though. Like, a lot of scary movies try to be funny and they just fail. 

Chris:
That's like Evil Dead. Those are great.

Jason:
Yeah!

Chris:
You've seen the Evil Deads. The best one though, I like and it's kind of sacreligious, though is Army of Darkness. I don't know why.

Jason:
No, I prefer that one too.

Chris:
Yeah. 

Jason:
Totally over the other two? Yeah. Absolutely.

Chris:
Yeah I love that one.

John:
Actually, I think that's the only one I've seen. 

Chris:
Yeah, I mean the other ones are good. Just, you know, Sam Raimi. The old school like low budget horror but man. I don't know, I just love Army of
Darkness. It’s my favorite one.

Jason:
Pamela, what kind do you like?

Pamela:
What kind of movies?

Jason:
Yeah, or horror movies apparently, because that's what we were just talking about.

Pamela:
I don't know. It has to be clever. It can't be too gory. Like, Scream is my favorite horror movie.

Jason:
Oh, so good.

John:
I like movies that are creepy, not scary. Like, I like to be creeped out but I don't like to be like ‘be thinking about this at 2 a.m’ scared of a movie.

Jason:
I feel like – I think I just watched, was it Changeling from the seventies or the eighties?

Chris:
Eighties, early eighties, yeah.

Jason:
I think you would like the changeling. It's very atmospheric—

Pamela:
I like atmospheric.

Jason:
Like spooky, but not…definitely not gory, but it – um – I will say that I was invested in the whole thing. Like, I really liked it. I watched it
during the day which is kind of weird, but…

Pamela:
That the only time John can watch a movie.

Jason:
Oh well, perfectly but it did… You’ve seen it right Chris?

Chris:
Yeah, yeah.

Jason:
I think the tension is there.

Chris:
Yeah.

Jason:
There’s definite tension.

John:
Okay.

Jason:
It gets, like, kind of psychological too. It's not like everything's out in the open, you know, they're not just like blatantly showing you.

Jason:
Yeah

Chris:
Yeah, that's why I kind of like – that's why I like John Carpenter's The Thing. I like that remake. They did a good job with that.

John:
I’ve never seen that.

Chris:
Never seen that? It was good!

Jason:
It’s was good.

Chris: 
Kurt Russell, yeah.

John:
See, I told you we weren't movie experts. 

Jason:
That's okay. I mean I am.

Chris:
I was going to say –

Jason:
With movies I like.

(Laugher)

Chris:
Well, we know Pamela doesn't like comedy, like silly comedies. 

Pamela:
No dumb movies. What did we say?

John:
She doesn't like sophomoric humor.

Jason: So like Dude Where’s My Car and stuff like that.

Pamela:
Those are just dumb.

John:
Basically half of everything Will Ferrell's ever made. 

Pamela:
Oh god I can't stand Will Ferrell.

Jason:
What about Elf?

Pamela:
I like elf. Elf is an exception 

Chris:
Step Brothers? Come on, Step Brothers is a classic.

Pamela:
I’ve never seen Step Brothers.

Chris:
Oh my god, Step Brothers is classic. I love that.

John:
Like, you’ve watched Talladega Nights, though.

Pamela:
Yeah.

Jason:
I didn’t like that one.

Chris:
See, I didn't either. That one that was, like in Will Ferrell’s little movie set that's not one of my favorites

Pamela:
But I do like the other actor that's in Step Brothers.

Chris:
John C. Riley? 

Pamela and Jason:
Yeah, yeah I love John C. Reilly.

Jason:
He doesn't get enough credit.

Chris and Pamela: 
No, he doesn't. 

Jason: 
He really doesn't, like, because he can do both comedy and drama and he just doesn't get the credit that he deserves. Like he was in Laurel and Hardy and I found that to be just fantastic. like it was a really good movie.

John:
I want to watch that.

Pamela:
Yeah, I want to watch that. 

Jason:
But his performance was really I mean it was really well done.

John:
And dude can sing too. Like I love – the thing that I always think of him – 

Chris:
Oh, Dewey Cox? Have you seen that one?

John:
Yeah. But the thing I was thinking of – Chicago. Chicago, he’s amazing.

Jason:
He's the only reason I listened to that song because nobody cares about Mister Cellophane.

Pamela:
(Begins to sing Mister Cellophane, from Chicago)

Jason and John:
Nope, nope we don't have the rights for that!

Pamela:
I can do 20 seconds!

John:
(Taps gavel)

(Laughter)

Jason:
I also like murder mysteries with a more like old school setting of everybody's trapped in a house together trying to figure out who the killer is.

Chris:
Like Murder By Death.

Jason:
Yes, Murder By Death which is super offensive now but still…

Chris: 
Still a good movie back in the day, though.

Jason:
Then Clue. Clue will always be my favorite.

Pamela:
Knives Out was good.

Jason:
Oh yes! It was so good.

Chris:
They're making part two. 

Jason:
They are!

Pamela:
Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

John:
Actually, the Murder on the Orient Express that they – the remake that they did. I mean the old one’s great too.

Jason:
Yeah.

John:
But the new one they made was good and they're doing Murder on the – 

Jason and John:
Death on the Nile.

Pamela: 
That should come out this fall.

Jason:
Yeah. I can't wait until they do And Then There Were None because they really should, it’s so –  that's honestly my all-time favorite Agatha book. Miss Christie – Dame if you're nasty.

Chris:
One of my favorites is Twelve Angry Men, the original, not like the remake.

Jason:
Yes, I just watched that a few weeks ago. 

Chris:
Yeah, the original. Or have you seen Inherit the Wind with Spencer Tracy – 

Jason:
No.

Chris:
And, uh, I can’t think of that other actor.

 John:
I think I watched that in a film class in college.

Chris:
Yeah man, I love that movie too. It's just basically about this – the Scopes monkey trial from back in the 20s. They have the science teacher wants to teach evolution, and Spencer Tracy, and so he's basically imprisoned in this small town and so Spencer Tracy is a big city lawyer that comes in to defend him and his rights. There's so many great — 

 Jason:
Oh, that sounds really good.

Chris:
Oh, it’s amazing. If you guys have, we have, if you guys haven't seen that we've definitely got to get that one in there.

Jason and Pamela:
Yeah.

Chris:
Because yeah it's – there's so many – oh, it's um, Gene Kelly's in it and he is my favorite because he's got – he's a – he's a reporter and his – so many lines that he delivers are just beautiful like just, how he, because he's so cynical and snarky about the whole process and yeah. Oh! It's from Bewitched, um, one of the Darrens.

Pamela:
Oh, Darren!

Chris:
Yeah I can't remember which one.

John:
First Darren or second Darren?

Pamela:
I think it was…
Jason: 
I never really knew which was which because I didn't really watch Bewitched.

Pamela:
(Dramatic Gasp)

John:
Okay, let's remember this – 

Jason and John:
– is a movie podcast

Jason:
Did you watch the remake – the movie with Will Ferrell?

Pamela:
Oh god I did.

Chris:
I did!

Pamela:
It was terrible.

John:
It was awful.

Pamela:
They're remaking it again.

Jason:
So I heard. I heard that it was getting the remake treatment. Everything's getting remade. It's
just easier. Scream five is coming out…

Pamela:
I know.

Chris:
Uh, Dick York.

Pamela: 
Yeah, okay. The good Darren. Not Dick Sargent.

Chris:
Yeah, he plays the science teacher.

Jason: 
That’s a lot of Dicks!

Chris: 
It is.

John:
That’s a lot of Yorks! 

(Laughter)

Chris:
But yeah, he plays the – he plays the science teacher that's on trial and stuff.

John:
So…speaking of Spencer Tracy, let's kind of talk about people's favorite actors because I know Pamela, she loves Katharine Hepburn.

Pamela:
I love Katharine Hepburn. Like, one of my favorite movies is The Philadelphia Story because you have the trifecta of Katharine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart, and Cary Grant.

John:
Yeah.

Pamela:
And you just can't get better than that at that time period. They're just perfect.

John:
Have you seen that?

Jason:
What movie? 

Pamela:
The Philadelphia Story.

Jason:
I don’t think so…

John and Pamela:
Oh my god! 

Jason:
I was sitting here going like, ‘what movie are they talking about?’ 

Chris:
Which, by the way – 

John:
I'm switching one of my movies out!

Chris:
Which, by the way, was also the inspiration for Sleepless in Seattle.

Jason:
I did see that.

Chris:
With Tom Hanks.

John:
And then there was a later version where they redid the story with Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly, and it was called High Society. 

Pamela:
And it was pretty good!

John:
Was it Bing Crosby?

Pamela:
I don't remember!

John:
I don't either. I have to do this though: ‘Oh C.K. Dexter HAVEN!’

Pamela:
C.K. Dexter Haven!

John:
Which you won't get because you haven't seen this amazing piece of film history.

Jason:
No, but I just saw your face while you did it, and it made me laugh, so…

Chris:
So what's your favorite?

John:
I mean, if we’re going old movies I love anything with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye.

Pamela:
It's harder to pick a modern actor.

Jason:
Yeah.

John:
Yeah, really it is.

Pamela:
I mean, I like Cate Blanchett, but…

Jason:
I'm sitting here trying to think. Like, I was like that's a really hard thing because you can love the actor but sometimes they just pick a bad role that they shouldn't have been cast in or that you're like why would you make that choice from an acting perspective? Like why did you go that way? 

Pamela:
I know but sometimes they have no choice like even modern day they get roped into
contracts.

Jason:
It's true, but it's like…

John:
I mean, I do love Adam Driver. I haven't seen anything with him in it that I didn't like.

Pamela:
Oh there's some good dramas you haven't seen yet with Adam Driver that I would like to make you watch.

Jason: 
No?

Pamela:
John's not a drama movie person.

John:
No. I don't – I don't like to get all the feels.

Jason:
Oh, okay, I thought of somebody: Maggie Smith. 

Pamela:
Oh yeah. 

Jason:
I can watch anything with Maggie Smith just because she commands. It doesn't matter what role she's in she's commanding a presence. So I enjoy Maggie Smith. I can’t think of…

Pamela:
So you watched the Harry Potter movies?

Jason:
Oh, of course!

Pamela:
Oh I'm shocked!

Jason:
I wish you could see the face.

John:
I will say there's not a lot of stuff with Clooney I haven't liked either. He's kind of our generation's Cary Grant in that way to me. Maybe not looks-wise, I see that face!

Jason:
No, I just – I don't know sometimes I feel like some people just get overrated because they're out, and the world gets saturated with their presence, and people are like, ‘oh they're the
greatest actor’ and you're like, ‘are they though?’ 

Pamela:
Oh, he'll never get that title from Batman and Robin, I mean.

John:
Hey now, we didn't say great actors, we said favorite!

Jason:
Oh, I thought we were looking for talent

John:
That’s a very different issue.
Jason:
I’m very sorry I misread the question. I thought it was talent! 

John:
If we're talking talent, we're going to talk about a lot uglier class of people. It’s just true.

(Laughter)

Jason:
Do you know who I really did enjoy, um, who's no longer with us but – Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Chris, John, and Pamela:
Oh yeah.

Jason:
In so many –

Chris:
In Capote?

Jason:
In Capote alone

Chris:
In Capote he's amazing.

Jason:
In Capote alone, he’s amazing.

Pamela:
Twister!

Twister! I just watched that too the other day because I was bored I was like, ‘oh look
it's – Twister’s on HBO!’

Chris:
I don't see – that you want to talk about a pet peeve of mine, is when they use a natural disaster as a villain. I hate that because they always make it seem like it has like an intelligence to it.

Jason:
Yeah.

Chris:
Like with the tornadoes in that movie it's like – 

Pamela:
When that movie first came out I thought the tornadoes were going to be intelligent!
I was a very disappointed 15 year old, let me tell you.

Jason:
Sentient tornados.

Jason:
That’s something you only see on the sci-fi channel

John:
You just couldn't see the shark driving the tornado because the graphics weren’t that good yet. 

Chris:
But yeah I just – I hate when they, you –  I mean, I get it. It builds tension and stuff, but it's
like some of these natural disasters are so easy just to get around! Just move!

(Laughter)

Chris:
I mean it's – it's not, it's not a hard thing to do.

Jason:
Wait.

Chris:
That's one of my pet peeves in movies. There you go.

Jason:
Let's play a quick game. Raise your hand if you've seen Sharknado one. (Pause)

Pamela:
Wow.

Jason:
Sharknado two? (Pause) Three? (Pause) Sharknado four? Sharknado five?

Chris: 
Is there? I don't – okay you lost me at five. 

Jason:
It -- is there six of them or five of them? 

Chris: 
I don't know.

Pamela:
For the club members at home, John and I have not raised our hand.
Jason's and Chris's hand stayed up the whole time!

Chris:
Yeah, I have – four is the last one I saw. Are there more?

Jason:
Yeah, there's five or six.

Chris: 
Holy cow.

Jason:
Yeah it's five and I think there's a sixth one I can't remember. I couldn't stop one night – 

Chris:
Oh yeah. 

Jason:
For like three days I watched the Sharknado series and it just – I watched it progressively get worse and I couldn't stop watching it. 

Chris:
Yeah, well that's like shark movies too, like underwater movies like that. Some of them are just so dumb. Like Jaws, I mean it's a classic but it's like, again, the shark's not intelligent. Shark's not going to hunt you down in the Caribbean. 

Jason:
Um, not according to – what, part three, where the shark was hunting them down?

Chris:
Well, yeah.

Jason:
The shark was like, ‘You killed my family, I'm going to eat your son!’

John:
Is that the one where it got robot legs?

(Long Pause)

Chris, Jason, and Pamela:
What?

(Laughter)

Chris:
I was like what the hell you talking about? Jaws never – I mean I’m sure the –

John:
For the record, I have never seen any of the Jaws films.

Chris:
You’ve never seen any of the Jaws movies?

Pamela:
I’ve only seen the first one.

Jason:
The first one’s really good.

Chris:
Yeah.

Jason:
I think that brings up a good question: Do you like movies that feature animals?

Chris:
Not if they're getting, like, hurt. Like regular animals

Jason:
Like I always think about Babe, the pig. Wah-ooh-wah-ooh-wah! 

Chris:
Oh, I like Babe. Babe’s a good movie.

Jason:
But like, do you like movies that feature animals? Just –  I get annoyed with like the 15,000
Beethoven's the 982 versions of Air Bud.

Pamela:
Snow Dogs?

Jason:
Air Bud, Snow Dogs.

Chris, Jason, John, and Pamela:
Snow Buddies. 

Pamela:
There we are.

John: 
Yeah.

Chris:
The Snow Buddies movies, yeah.

Jason:
But there are some people that are just like, ‘Oh you have to go see it because there's an animal.

Chris and Pamela:
No.

John:
I blame it all on Milo and Otis. 

Jason:
(Groans)

Pamela:
Oh my god.

Chris:
Milo and Otis!

John:
We used to have to watch that every time school was out or whatever. I had one teacher in like the fourth grade that that was the only movie she would play so we watched that movie like six times that year.

Jason:
Wow.

Pamela:
I did like The Incredible Journey.

John:
Yeah.

 Chris:
Michael J. Fox did a voice in that.

Jason:
Wait, was that the two dogs and the cat?

Chris, John, and Pamela:
Yeah.

Pamela:
I did like that one too.

Jason:
I did too, yeah. I couldn't remember the name of it.

John:
Sassy.

Pamela:
Yeah, Sassy.

John:
Sassy, Chance, and…

Pamela:
Shadow.

John:
Shadow!

Jason:
Shadow the cat?

Pamela:
No.

John and Pamela:
Sassy.

John:
It's a cat!

(Laughter)

Chris:
Now if it's animated, I'll watch animated movies with animals all day long.

Pamela:
Oh yeah.

Jason:
Yes.

Chris: 
But yeah, no, like – Babe though, that is actually one of my favorites. I don't know why that – when he's just like, ‘That'll do pig.’

Jason:
‘That’ll do pig.’ Wait! so that – okay, what about animated animal movies?

Chris:
Yeah I'll watch those. Oh, what’s my favorite?

Jason:
Yeah what’s y’all’s favorite animated animal movie?

Pamela:
Animated animal…

John:
I mean does Ducktales: The Movie count?

Jason:
Yes.

John:
Okay, then Ducktales, The Movie!

Chris:
Treasure of the Lost Lamp!

John:
Sha-booey!

(Laughter)

Chris:
Now well, that just depends – oh is it anthropomorph-- you know anthropomorphized animals?

Jason: 
I don’t care, it’s animated.

Chris:
Well then, Zootopia!

Jason:
Yeah!

Chris:
‘Cause Judy Hopps is hot.

Jason:
Well this just went down a whole new road no one wanted to go down.

John:
I have to agree.

Chris:
Yeah, Judy Hopps man, woo. I mean I like the actress that does her voice in general.

Pamela:
Awkward…

John:
We have consensus. (Taps Gavel)

(Laughter)

Jason:
No,no, no. Consensus? There’s four of us. Only two of you are being weird.

John:
Look, we're not a real club, and this is my first day as a President. I get to gavel all I want! (Taps Gavel)
 
Chris:
I mean Jason Bateman doing a voice as a fox? That's just amazing.

Pamela:
That's pretty cool.

Chris:
Ever seen Bolt? Bolt’s pretty good.

Jason:
I have seen Bolt.

Pamela:
I don’t remember it. We've watched it.

John:
We own it.

Chris: 
Bolt’s not bad.

Pamela:
We own it?

John:
Yeah, we own it.
 
Jason:
Yeah, I liked, I like The Fox and the Hound.

Chris:
The Fox and the Hound.

Pamela:
What?

Jason:
You don't like The Fox and the Hound?

Pamela:
It's so sad!

Jason:
I know, but it was good! ‘You’re my best friend!’

John:
Yeah, that's like just liking the beginning of Bambi. It's just wrong.

Chris:
I don't know – but The Fox and the Hound, though, has one of the best pickup lines in it ever when he runs into the other fox. Then he's like, ‘Well can I call you by your first name’ and she's like, ‘Well, sure,’ and he's like, ‘Oh what is it?’ It's like the best pickup line ever. Like, just…

Pamela:
It's so subtle! 

Chris:
Yeah, it's so subtle – 

Jason:
So awkward.

Chris:
– because, yeah, he just goes up the other fox and he's just like… It would work in a bar – anywhere! You’d be like hey…

Pamela:
So that’s why you don't have a man Jason.

(Laughter)

Jason:
Wow, we don't have to put on all that shit right here on this show.

(Laughter)

Pamela:
Oh wow. Okay!

Jason:
Oh my god.

Pamela:
Let’s move on.

Jason:
Wait, do you have – I was going to say does anybody have like a favorite – like you know it's a bad movie but it's like one of your favorite movies to watch?

Chris:
Oh hell yeah! Demolition Man, all day. 

Jason:
Okay.

Chris:
That movie is so bad, but god I love it. Wesley Snipes. Like, the plot is so just bad, the, like, premise is horrible. Like everything about that movie! Like there's so many plot holes in it, like, that you could drive a Mack truck through this movie – but god I love that movie. I will watch it. I will quote it. I just – I love Demolition Man. 

Jason:
Okay. 

Pamela:
There's a lot of movies that I like that if you look at the rotten tomatoes rating it's like 37 percent, and I'm like ‘what's wrong with you people? What is wrong? Do you have no soul?’

John:
I think the one I can think of that's mine would probably Joe Versus the Volcano. I love that movie, and most people think it's boring as Hell.

Jason:
I have been trying to get through it for four weeks.

(Laughter)

Jason:
I can only watch five minutes a day. I'm not kidding. 

Pamela:
‘I’m not arguing that with you!’

Jason:
She just got to the cab with her playing the second character or fifth character in the same movie. I was like, ‘What are you?’ Pamela – 

John:
‘It’s called bubaru.’

Jason:
– You said you have so many. Is there any one that you wanted to mention?

Pamela:
I really, really, really, really, really like Practical Magic.

Jason:
Oh, okay!

Pamela:
And people –

Chris:
No, it’s not bad.

Pamela:
It's got a pretty low rating. 

Jason:
Well, I think mine is best for all of you. It's the, uh, the classic movie inspired by the first season of American Idol.

Pamela:
Oh no.

Jason:
It is From Justin to Kelly.

Chris:
Oh wow.

Jason:
– and, uh, it is a classic, uh it is awful in every way, and I can sit there mesmerized for the 90 minutes that it runs, and one year the one and only Justin Guarini was in town doing a musical performance at the Muny, and my best friend at the time was an intern, and took that DVD and made him sign it. And he's like, ‘What do you want him to put on it’ and I was like ‘From Justin to Jason.’ 

(Laughter)

Jason:
And Justin wrote it, and was like ‘I don't get the joke.’

Chris, John, and Pamela:
Oh!

Jason:
And I still have that and that will forever be a treasure.

Chris:
There you go, that’s a good one.

Pamela:
I've never seen that movie.

John:
Wow.

Jason:
Oh, you don't want to. I'm not even going to ever put it on one of our lists. I was about to start singing it. 

John:
Okay, so what's your favorite sequel?

Pamela:
Ghostbusters II

Jason:
Oh, good choice.

Pamela:
I love Ghostbusters II. I like it better than the original Ghostbusters, which I know makes me a bad person.

Jason:
No…

Chris:
It doesn't – I don't – they're equal for me. They're both on the same, like, I can watch either one interchangeably. Um, but Ghostbusters II, as everybody knows, has my favorite line of
any movie ever, and it's in it's such a throwaway line. It's – they're going through the police station and you hear all the different people talking, and the one cop’s on the phone, and he's like, ‘What was chasing you in the park? The park bench was chasing you?’ 

(Laughter)

Chris:
And that was the best line ever and it just – it hands down just, like, that will be my when – I want that on my tombstone when I die.

Jason:
We've all made a mental note.

Chris:
Yes and when I when I die that is what needs to be on my tombstone. Yeah.

John:
‘What was chasing you in the graveyard? This tombstone in the graveyard?’

(Laughter)

Chris:
Totally crazy, but yeah. And it's such a throwaway line. I mean there's so many good lines in the first one, and in the second one, but man, that line – and it's so throwaway.

Pamela:
I do laugh every time I hear it.

John:
Yeah.

Jason:
I, I laugh when I hear, ‘the upper vest side?’

(Laughter)

Chris:
Oh yeah. It’s like, ‘Johnny, where are you from anyway?’

Jason and Pamela:
‘The upper vest side?’

(Laughter)

Chris:
‘We heard there was a major creep in the area. You were the top of our list.’

(Laughter)

Jason:
Oh god.

Chris:
‘Oh Viggo, he's just got Carpathian kitten loss.’ Kitten right there.

Jason: 
Here you go. For –

John:
Okay Jason, favorite sequel?

Jason:
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Chris:
Mmm. That’s a good one.

Jason:
Because when Salla finds out, and we all did at the same time. ‘The dog?’

Chris, Jason, John, and Pamela:
‘The dog's name was Indiana?’

Chris:
All right, John?

John:
Back to the Future II.

Chris:
Mmm.

Jason:
Oh! Yes.

John:
Not so much the actual future part, but I love toward the end where they're, like, mixing the two movies where – because it's just, it's clever and I love time travel crap.

Chris:
That's the only movie I wish they would have gone back and digitally edited the first one and added some of those little scenes in. 

John:
Yeah.

Chris:
Like when he's running from backstage and you see the guys with the things on there. I, I really – and I don't like when they mess with their movies like that too much – but I, I would love to see him go back in and just add a few of those little easter eggs from part two into part one.

John:
Yeah, like where you could choose that on the menu.

Chris:
Yeah.

John:
Watch that version. That would be cool.

Chris:
Yeah, I would, I would, I would definitely support that.

John:
All right, so…

Jason:
Look at that!

John:
I think that'll give everybody kind of a – an idea of what we're going to talk about.

Jason:
Apparently me being single is also a topic.

Pamela:
Sorry!

John:
When is it not?

(Laughter)

Chris:
We just usually don't do it to your face, that’s the problem.

Jason:
Ooh.

John: All right, all right, all right. (Taps Gavel) Let's move on. So anyway, we won't go into how everything works today, um, but we do need to pick the first movie and our slate of officers for the first regular meeting. Um, if you're listening and you want to know more about club procedures and how everything works, I’ve written way too much on the website, so definitely check that out. It's MissingMovieClub.com all at one word

Jason:
Dot com! (Singing)

John:
Missingmovies dot com! (Singing) Missing Movie Club. – Okay so we spun the wheel…

Pamela: 
Looks like we're watching The Crow!

John:
Because Jason has never seen it.

Chris and John:
Ooh, boo!

Chris:
So who picked The Crow then?

Pamela:
John did.

John:
Yeah, that means for our first full-length monthly episode I will be the Club President, um, in charge of leading the discussion. So to keep things simple, I'm just going to appoint the other officer positions for this episode. I've actually got a really fun way to do it in our next episode so – let's go alphabetically by your first names. So, Chris, you'll be Vice President. Jason will be our Treasurer, and that leaves Pamela as the secretary.

Pamela:
‘I've quit better jobs than this!’

John:
‘Thanks Janine. You're doing a great job.’

(Laughter)

Jason:
‘Sorry about the bug eyes comment.’

Chris:
‘’Look, type something we're paying for this stuff, okay?’

Pamela:
‘Ghostbusters! What do you want?’

(Laughter)

John:
Just a little aside – I love one thing in that movie, the way she says ‘French bread pizza,’ because she doesn't say ‘French,’ she says like ‘Fench.’

Pamela:
Says like ‘Finch,’ yeah.

Chris:
‘And he passed right out. Passed right out.’

(Laughter)

Jason:
‘So like, wait, is she the killer?’

(Laughter)

Jason:
Oh god!

John:
(Taps Gavel) Uh, so we've all got our rules and so as for you out there playing this podcast – I hope you're out there – you have a role too. Um, just by listening to this you're officially participating in a meeting, which means you've already become an honorary member of the club!

(Applause)

Jason:
Woo!

Pamela:
And we hope you'll join us for our first regular episode, releasing October seventh.

Chris:
And for every episode after that which will come out on the first Thursday of
each month.

Jason:
And the easiest way to make sure that you never miss an episode is of course to go ahead and subscribe on whatever podcast app you're listening to. Set reminders for yourself. For everything!

Chris:
Hit that, hit that, hit that like button.

Jason:
Do it!

Chris: 
Just hit it! Subscribe.

John:
And remember you can always find more info on our website, MissingMovieClub.com. I think we've pretty much covered everything, which means it's probably time we wrap up this special session. Uh, do I have a motion to adjourn? Anybody?

Pamela:
I motion.

Chris:
I second that motion.

John:
I second that – (Singing) No, we don't have money for that, uh –

Jason:
We don't got that, it's going to cost money. I’m the Treasurer. We ain’t got that.

John:
Alright, the motion passes, (Taps Gavel) which means I hereby declare this meeting adjourned. Let's go get some waffles.

Jason:
I'm getting mine with syrup!

(Laughter)

John:
Think they have flapjacks?

(Theme Music)

John:
Why don't we go around the table and introduce ourselves real quick? I guess I can go first. My name is John.

Jason:
Oh wait, is that how we're doing? It's not in the script, we're starting over. I was confused!

(Laughter)

Chris:
I guess we'll go clockwise?

Jason:
Are we going this way?

John:
In the original version of the script I had counterclockwise and I thought, ‘No, they're going to think I'm just being too anal so I took it out.

Jason:
Well.

Chris:
Yeah, look and you needed it in there. It's all john's fault.

John:
I was like I don't I don't want to be that guy, that'd be like no stay there –

Pamela:
You’re already that guy!

Jason:
This is fine. Just leave this in for the whole show. You don't even have to edit it.

(Laughter)

John:
All right, we're going to just start this all over?

Jason:
Sure.
