Jim:

Hello, and welcome to The Studio Demands It. Really? Okay. You don't sound very excited.

T.C.:

Oh. I

Jim:

was just gonna note you. My The studio demands you

T.C.:

smile as you say it. I what?

Jim:

Hello, and welcome to The Studio Demands It, an exercise in creative thinking where we will challenge ourselves to conceptualize, pitch, and craft a film based on the stipulations of a hypothetical Hollywood overlord. We talk movies all the time. In particular, we complain about the choices made in blockbusters. And, of course, as any good nerd does, we automatically assume we could do it better even with the demands and restrictions that clearly must have been put on a production. I am Jim Burzelic, and joining me as always is my cohost, T.

Jim:

C. De Witt. Hello. Hello, T. C.

Jim:

How are you?

T.C.:

I'm fine. I'm sorry to give you that direction up the top. No. We're starting later than normal, so I can see you're all tuckered out.

Jim:

Yeah. It's it's true.

T.C.:

Oh, wait. We have the voice of a guest over there. Yeah.

Jim:

Oh gosh.

T.C.:

We'll get to him in a minute. This is our banter section.

Jim:

There's a whole other paragraph. Do I read that yet?

T.C.:

Well, no. I ain't gonna wait until we you asked me how I was doing. I wanna answer.

Jim:

Oh, okay.

T.C.:

I'm doing alright.

Jim:

You didn't put in a stage direction, so I wasn't sure.

T.C.:

I was building up a whole thing about tucking you into bed, and we were going to do a whole riff on that. You shouldn't prepare improv, but I had this whole thing planned out, Just had to tuck you in, like a Jo Osman. You know, you tell me you see dead people all the time. I see bad movies. Oh, when?

T.C.:

When? When?

Jim:

Yeah. Oh, all the all the time.

T.C.:

So today, the studio demands a Sixth Sense Two. Here we go.

Fionn:

Okay.

Jim:

I'll do it by God. We have a friend

T.C.:

over here.

Jim:

Yeah. So joining us this episode is our friend, Finn Murphy. Hello, Finn. Finnigan Murphy. What is your state

T.C.:

people to know you know, that seemed like too much information. We'll call you Finn m. No. No. That's still too much.

T.C.:

How about f Murray?

Fionn:

That's perfect. I often go by f Murray, which makes this a little awkward because if we're trying to make sure nobody knows Mhmm. Mhmm. Then Oh,

Jim:

is is it f Murray or is it f Murray?

T.C.:

Like, you

Jim:

write it out. Like, is it just an f or is it e f f?

Fionn:

See, I go with the e f f because I'm a gentleman.

T.C.:

Oh. Gotcha. Gotcha. That's it. See, because I don't like I I'm t.c dot.

T.C.:

Like, I put the periods in there. Right? But then oftentimes, people just write t c with that because they're lazy. Mhmm. Don't put the and if you didn't put the periods after just a straight up f, then it would be Murray.

Fionn:

In my phone, you're T. Sizzle. With a period.

T.C.:

Oh, thank you. T. Sizzle period. Weird choice, but that's Thank you for joining us today.

Fionn:

Yeah, of course.

T.C.:

Thanks for having me. Normally, have started to get listener demands, right? And then you have been an avid listener, so thank you for

Fionn:

Yeah, course.

T.C.:

And all those other people out there listening, you can be a guest on the show too. Just tweet at Jim, TupacWaxon. Mind me!

Fionn:

It's hard to spell. It's W A X O N. Yeah. It's how you spell waxon.

Jim:

Yeah. Tubeck waxon.

T.C.:

Explain that.

Fionn:

Explain that. Forever, if you've been listening this far into the podcast, I'm gonna assume you're not jumping in on this episode.

T.C.:

That's why we explain what we do at the front. Right.

Jim:

Just in case they are.

Fionn:

But if you are, Jim has had a bit of a rough time getting his Twitter settled. And I guess they gave him a randomized name, which is to buck wax on.

Jim:

And when

Fionn:

I heard that on the podcast, I thought, that's weird. How do you spell to buck? And then partway through as they were discussing Jim's new Twitter handle, t c very graciously spelled out wax on,

T.C.:

which is the easiest part of that

Fionn:

to spell. And I still to this day don't know how to spell Tubek. Is it the numeral? Is it t o t w o?

T.C.:

There's another paragraph.

Jim:

Just jump right.

T.C.:

Alright. Okay. That was for humor's sake, to never let you answer that and get that information.

Jim:

Oh, okay. I thought you were saying literally. No.

Fionn:

We're not good with straight directions.

T.C.:

You know what county's all about, right?

Fionn:

Stage Directions.

T.C.:

Oh, dang it. See, again, I still hope that that one guy who complained that I laughed too much is listening to this. Like, hate hate listening to the show. Go ahead, Jim.

Jim:

He probably is.

T.C.:

Good. Thank you for listening.

Jim:

Yeah. Tweet at me.

Fionn:

It's

T.C.:

really wax on. Go ahead.

Jim:

So where to begin? Well, we need a demand, and we need a studio to demand it. We now have a listener request option at studiodemandsit.com where you can submit an episode idea. You can send us any demand you'd like, movie, TV series, book haiku, as well book haiku haiku.

T.C.:

Did not put a comma there?

Jim:

No. You did. I did not read the comma

T.C.:

Oh, okay.

Jim:

Because I'm a rebel. Mhmm. So I'm gonna do that again. Movie, TV series, book haiku, as well as name your fictional studio. We had a

T.C.:

See the word put that in the haiku to

Jim:

be able to read now.

T.C.:

To throw him off thinking like, oh, he'll be like, book, movie, and then haiku, and you just rolled through it like that. That's something people should demand of us.

Jim:

That I just roll through haikus?

Fionn:

I'll do it by god.

Jim:

Okay.

T.C.:

This is a demand. You must come

Jim:

up with a haiku.

T.C.:

Do it now, you bitch.

Jim:

There you go. Nice. Go ahead. Say it. Okay.

Jim:

There's some more words here that I can mess up. Mhmm. We had a couple of fantastic demands from a listener with Home Alone and The Defenders, and I'm very excited to see what you folks throw at us. Today, we are joined by a listener. Please state your name

T.C.:

and studio for the record.

Fionn:

F. Murray.

T.C.:

No, actually, so then you did submit through the website. You went on to studiodemandsit.com and there's our nice submit studio demand.

Fionn:

I actually am also a rebel. Oh, Like Mr. T. Bach here.

T.C.:

Yeah.

Fionn:

And I submitted from your Facebook page.

T.C.:

That is also fine. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter, and I think there's an Instagram as well for Studio Demands It. So thank you for that. I'm gonna bring up your options here in case you forgot what your at least what your studio name was.

Jim:

Is that a thing you would forget?

Fionn:

I have forgotten. Yes.

T.C.:

So Well, go ahead. Keep talking.

Fionn:

Okay. Do you wanna hear my concept? I'm

T.C.:

not No. I I'm gonna bring that up. I just you gotta kill time while I'm looking for it. Because, like like, you know, what makes for good radio is to not have things prepared so

Fionn:

that Copy that.

Jim:

So you you tell why did we bring you on as a guest?

Fionn:

You brought me on as a guest because I know all of these rules about radio even though this is a podcast. So here's the other thing.

T.C.:

Here is your options from the the website and listener requests. So Thank you. Let's jump into here. This was your first episode, what a rocky start. Hey, you know, this is a new experience for us to get a guest on here.

Jim:

I do like the idea of being like, never listened to this podcast. I think there it's gonna be it's gonna be rocky in the beginning right there. They're still getting their legs, so I'm just gonna jump to the middle

T.C.:

and see what's on. Wherever we are.

Fionn:

I can't wait till you guys start doing live shows. That's

Jim:

all insane. I would

T.C.:

love to do a live show if if we get be fun. Like, so six five Media, who is our who our our actual overlord is, who's

Jim:

been Mhmm.

T.C.:

Arranging this. There's definitely some plans in the future to do some live events as we I'm getting hit by a dog underneath the table. Because there's some other content. They have the another Zelda podcast. We have the Top Hat Balloon show.

T.C.:

So there's some cool stuff that would be great for a live show. So now that that's been thrown out into the world, tweet at us. Yep. And say do that. Because it's been fun.

T.C.:

We've had had a couple people in the room as we've recorded, but it'd be nice to interact with a a live audience because we would feed off that energy. And I wouldn't have to tell you to smile more like an asshole.

Fionn:

You you would though.

Jim:

They can see you now. Smile.

T.C.:

Okay, go ahead. So studio. Studios, we have a demand. We're gonna sit here. Have to, on the fly, come up with something.

T.C.:

Here we go. Yeah.

Fionn:

Good start. So my studio is I already did studios.

T.C.:

You already did studios. Sounds like a company that would do remakes and reboots.

Fionn:

Sort of.

T.C.:

Okay. Okay.

Fionn:

I already did studios demands that you guys write and deliver the final movie in the Ace Ventura trilogy. Oh.

T.C.:

Wait. Hold on. There are three Ace Ventura movies. There are two. There's Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura.

T.C.:

Jim Carrey Ace Ventura when nature calls it. Two. And then there's a little kid Ace Ventura. Remember they made Son of Mask? I think they made like a kid.

T.C.:

But you know what? You're demanding a I

Fionn:

don't. The studio has never heard of that, sir. Well, Therefore, it doesn't exist.

T.C.:

We have to do a third Ace Ventura?

Jim:

They actually also didn't they do a Ace Ventura cartoon?

Fionn:

There there was a cartoon.

T.C.:

So the studio has met all their demands.

Fionn:

But that's nonsense. The studio

Jim:

Everyone knows that's just to sell sugar.

Fionn:

The third Ace Ventura trilogy. Mhmm. And it has to have

T.C.:

Jim Carrey. Of course. Jim Carrey. Oh my god. Your dog needs to stop barking.

T.C.:

Alright. There you go. Ace Ventura Pet Detective Junior was an actual straight to video bullshit.

Jim:

You know that now.

T.C.:

That is information you will never forget. But a third Jim Carrey Ace Ventura.

Jim:

Yeah.

T.C.:

So let's let's let's let's dive in first here. So I've recently gone back and watched rewatched the original Ace Ventura for my previous podcast, The Rewatchman. Okay. And it's it holds up nicely. I I I think that people remember it for its goofy jokes.

T.C.:

Obviously, it's a very silly off the wall movie, but it's got a very hard noir detective angle to it Yeah. As The music, the style that it's filmed in. And so I was impressed by by that aspect of it, that it's not just a dumb point the camera, let Jim Carrey riff movie like other movies he's done Mhmm. Or all the movies that Adam Sandler has done. It it did have, like, a competently made noir detective story to it.

T.C.:

It just happened to be about a ridiculous pet detective. Mhmm. I haven't gone back and rewatched Nature Calls. Something that did strike me in this modern era we live in is a dappling, just a sampling of homophobia in the and transphobia in the original Ace Ventura. To be that disgusted that a woman is actually a man is

Jim:

Einhorn is Finkelstein. Stein?

T.C.:

Finkel. Just Finkel. Finkel. Yeah. There's a there's a touch of that that that definitely did not hold up well.

T.C.:

And I haven't rewatched Nature Calls, but I do have an anecdote about Nature Calls, but I'll save that. What do you remember about Ace Ventura?

Jim:

Really, most of the well, actually, less than what you just described. I remember Tone Locke. That's right. Nice. I remember the butt opera voice.

Jim:

Asshole, Leo. I remember

T.C.:

You remember, like, these gags. Right? Yeah. What I found in

Jim:

Was was was it Courtney Cox Yes. In that?

T.C.:

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Just doing barely enough work not to laugh through every scene she's in with, like, just just barely getting by. I was surprised.

T.C.:

We watched it when I watched it, we rented it off of YouTube to watch it. Movie goes by. It reached a point where something didn't happen. And we're like, did we blink and miss the the when he's in snow snowflakes, tub and he does the whole landed on a plane, he does the whole James Kirkland. That wasn't in the theatrical release.

T.C.:

That was just for the DV release. And I don't know why YouTube would only release the theatrical release of Ace Ventura. So it was like a weird moment of like, I've always remembered that. Like, and Snowflake jumps out of the thing and and he kicks the ball, and you can quote me. That whole bit is not there in the movie from the theatrical release.

T.C.:

That was added to the DVD

Fionn:

release. Crazy.

T.C.:

Weird, right? You remember that very fondly. I do. Cool. How do you feel about Ace Ventura that you would pick this studio?

Fionn:

The studio finds those movies hilarious.

Jim:

Mhmm.

Fionn:

But it has been a long time. Mhmm. And the whole transphobic thing, now that you mention it, Yeah. I I do recall that, and it does not hold up well.

T.C.:

It's and that's just minor. That's I I mean, it's not minor to feel that way. I'm I've put my foot in my mouth. What have

Fionn:

you done?

T.C.:

Was just trying say it's a small a small little piece of the movie that didn't hold up over time.

Fionn:

Yes.

T.C.:

Okay. So the studio is demanding a third one. Jim Carrey has to be in it. Yes. Is there any other stipulations you wanna throw at us for this before we start diving in?

Fionn:

I think that the the way that when nature calls happened

T.C.:

Mhmm.

Fionn:

It's so vastly different than the first one

T.C.:

Yeah.

Fionn:

That the only stipulation is Ace Ventura, the character Mhmm. True to the character, and Jim Carrey playing that character.

T.C.:

Now I I don't know about you, Jim, but I Jim Carrey was, like, a shooting star that just plummeted after a point. Like, I think I think the general populace got sick of him. I think it was, like, Grinch Stole Christmas about where it was like, okay. This is a bit too much wacky Jim Carrey.

Jim:

I don't know. Because the Grinch did really well. They made a sequel. Mhmm. I don't think the Grinch was I I think he was too much serious Jim Carrey that I think actually did it.

T.C.:

Yeah. I think so. I think

Jim:

And not not saying that he's not good in the serious roles. I think he he is good. I think there were a couple real big bummers in there.

T.C.:

Eternal sunshine, spotless mind is just if you've ever been in a relationship, here, cry.

Jim:

Well, it was that was a really good bummer. I what I mean is stinker is the is the the the technical term. Like, what was it? '23,

T.C.:

I think was when he

Jim:

went came came and went where he played

T.C.:

Number 23.

Jim:

Played it like it was a game with not amnesia and also not multiple personalities, but also both of those. Right. And he's obsessed with something and he he was like a big asshole who then discovered he was a big asshole. Right.

T.C.:

And like

Jim:

that was, oh, no. Pretty uplifting film. I don't remember exactly, but

Fionn:

You know, it's You've also got Man in the Moon in there.

T.C.:

Yep.

Fionn:

Yep. Truman Show. Mhmm.

T.C.:

Mhmm. I love Truman

Fionn:

He's got some really good stuff. He's got that show on Showtime now.

Jim:

Yeah. I can't wait for more of that.

T.C.:

Kidding. Kidding.

Fionn:

Kidding. Which is very good.

T.C.:

I I think this is an opportunity to to bring Jim Carrey back to like, this is a chance for him to Well read.

Jim:

You know, I don't know. Actually, no. Thinking about it, I don't think he ever I I I don't know if audiences ever really turned on him. I think he just went away. He decided No.

Jim:

To go away.

T.C.:

He he kinda hit a downward spiral from

Jim:

Did he?

T.C.:

Because it's like okay. So you go from, Bruce Almighty, which was definitely height of his like, near the end of the height of his career, Eternal Sunshine, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Fun with Dick and Jane, number 23. Horton, here's a who. Hugh. Just a Hugh.

T.C.:

You hear a Hugh? It's like a like

Jim:

a it's like a beige. Synesthesia.

T.C.:

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Horton's good. Good.

T.C.:

Synesthesia. Nice. Horton. Yes, man. I love you, Philip Morris.

T.C.:

A Christmas Carol. Presidential re oh, that's a short he was on the office for a not just a brief thing. Mister Poppers, Penguins. Like, just see all that, like, I incredible Burt Burt Wonderstone.

Jim:

Like I don't know. To what I remember of of all of that, I didn't think it was like a a popularity decreasing thing. I thought it was a self self imposed type of of pulling back from from that that point. Like, because I've seen other I've seen interviews with him and stuff, and I didn't delve into his entire reimagining. Like, there's a there's a documentary

T.C.:

Yeah. It's a about it. You can find it on Vimeo. It's this amazing thing about his painting he's been doing. Went to a very dark place.

T.C.:

There's also a documentary, was him and Andy.

Fionn:

Jim Jim and Yeah,

Jim:

the one I was thinking.

Fionn:

And that I think is when he starts pulling back. Yeah. When he realizes, you know,

Jim:

there's is an artistic.

T.C.:

So I hear the studio demand of a third ace Ventura. I hear the desire to recapture the magic of one and two. The question is, would Jim Carrey do this? I think that would be the big The Studio might want Jim Carrey to come back and start speaking from his butthole again, but does Jim Carrey want to do that anymore? I

Jim:

think we can craft a script that would entice

T.C.:

him. You have to convince me, because right now I don't see Jim Carrey wanting to come back and do that. How do we get him how do we create a movie that satisfies the studio demand of completing the Ace Ventura trilogy properly, especially because the Dumb and Dumber trilogy, that's not good. Yeah.

Jim:

So I I have a couple ideas.

T.C.:

Okay.

Jim:

But I need a refresher of the the of the the first two movies, the the plots of them.

T.C.:

Should I do this off the top of my head, should I Wikipedia it?

Jim:

Well, because because the the first one, it was it was a a football mystery. Right?

T.C.:

Yeah. So Snowflake went missing. The snow the mascot for the Miami Dolphins just before the Super Bowl. They took the he was supposedly kidnapped to ruin the morale. He's investigating specifically trying to find Snowflake.

T.C.:

There's murders along the way because it turns out that Ray Finkel, this fictional kicker from an old, early Super Bowl era, Dan Marino, early in his career, screwed up. They lost the Super Bowl by one field goal. His name was

Jim:

Laces Out.

T.C.:

Laces Out, Dan. Right? It was a whole revenge kick to destroy Dan Marino. And it ends up being the lead detective for the Miami PD, which is Lois Einhorn, turns out to be Ray Finkel. It was a whole mastermind plan to get to this point.

T.C.:

Sure. And Ace uncovers it and discovers, and saves Snowflake along the way. Great.

Jim:

Yeah. Was Nature Calls about?

T.C.:

This That one is about an African this is a little tougher for me. I'm going off. I haven't seen this movie in well over a decade.

Jim:

I remember a rhinoceros.

T.C.:

Got you.

Fionn:

Yeah. Okay. I got you covered.

Jim:

Okay.

Fionn:

But I wanna hear yours first.

T.C.:

If I can if I remember correctly, it opens up with him putting putting himself in a self proposed exile because his monkey friend dies on a mountain. Yes. And he goes into a Buddhist temple, and he's he's found by some sort of anthropologist who need wants to draw him out to find this missing bat for an African tribe. Without this bat, it could lead to some sort of war amongst the tribes in Africa.

Fionn:

Right. Specifically, it's an albino bat that Yeah. They

T.C.:

I remember one of the jokes in it was that he hates bats because he just came off of Batman Forever. He's like, Guano, that sounds good. Why does that sound familiar? It's bat droppings. They're spitting on each other.

T.C.:

Anyway, he is investigating finding the bat. He gets mixed up with the tribes, then it turns out there's a poacher who's actually trying to get the tribes to destroy each other so he can just have the land to kill elephants and rhinos on.

Jim:

Gotcha.

T.C.:

Cool. There you go. Did I remember pretty good? Yeah, that's good. Alright, okay.

T.C.:

Seriously, I cannot remember when it last. It has been well over a decade since I've seen it. Yeah. I know. I'm pretty impressive.

Jim:

So I think This

T.C.:

is your first episode. I'm a dick.

Jim:

I think the direction to go Mhmm. Would be something in in the line of climate change.

T.C.:

Okay. That's interesting. That is I would not have gone there, but I'm I'm I'm with you on that.

Jim:

So something about that. Yeah. I I think that's that's sort of the area the I begin mining.

T.C.:

Guess getting him out of so he was in Miami, then he was in the jungles of Africa. Are you looking Northwest Territory as Canada? Yeah. I answered my own question. That lends itself to way more humor than Antarctica.

T.C.:

Antarctica, get some people working at a at a way like a a polar ice station. You send him to the Great White North, then, yeah, you get moose jokes, drag Rick Moranis out for a cameo. I think there's more humor to be had just on the given just putting it in Canada or Alaska. Mounties. Okay.

T.C.:

Mounties. Yeah.

Jim:

Yeah. I can I can see that?

T.C.:

So Well, we're we're the First Ace of Winter is definitely a detective film. Sure. You could seriously take that script, take the jokes out, turn it into a rather compelling murder mystery. Yeah. Pretty standard cut and dry.

T.C.:

That second one, Fin, you're going have to tell me if that I don't remember if that kind of it did it feel like anything else? Did it feel like

Jim:

Well, just from your description, it there there is a conspiracy. I don't I right. You you can do the archetypal beats. One group a and group b want this thing, so group c is trying to pit them against each other to get them out of the way to ultimately do a land deal. Right?

Jim:

And land deals are pretty classic noir conspiracy stuff.

T.C.:

Now we I it's this is you know, we're in a dangerous territory in far in terms of, like, alienating people, but climate change is already gonna raise some people's hackles because whether it's real or not.

Jim:

I you you that's totally fair, and and this might not this this might be even even more so. How I'm I'm actually now I'm actually genuinely curious. How many of our listeners do you think don't believe in climate change?

T.C.:

They should tweet it. Tupac Witt Witt Witt They should. If they believe in it. No. If they

Jim:

believe in Twitter I believe in YouTube, Akwaxon.

T.C.:

Yeah. That that is a and certainly having a climate change denier in in the midst of the movie is something that you you throwing a land deal out there as well. Like, you're okay. Are we gonna have an Inuit character in there? Deal now we're dealing with aboriginals?

T.C.:

Are are we gonna have you're talking about a land deal? Is there gonna be wall jokes in here? Like, how I don't think Ace Ventura has ever delved into political territory. However, this could be an angle that would bring Jim Carrey in to want to mock and make fun of this sort of thing.

Fionn:

Thank you

Jim:

for seeing where I was going

T.C.:

with Yeah. Think I think that you're onto something in trying to convince him to come back. If there's a subtextual or straight up textual message about climate change Mhmm. A land deal, dealing with the natives. I mean, hell, if you wanna keep getting more and more pointed at having a pipeline going through in there, like, I don't know how on the nose you wanna be for the because you are risking alienating an audience and the studio does not want that.

T.C.:

The studio, I would imagine, would want people to just come see Ace Ventura doing silly voices.

Fionn:

Also, is treading into the territory of just reskinning too.

T.C.:

True. True. Yeah. What's the animal at stake here? If we had a dolphin, now we have a bat, what's something of the Great White North that can be?

T.C.:

Oh, man. Having some sort of penguin reference and having Jim Carrey doing a Morgan Freeman impression is pretty funny.

Jim:

Penguins are in know the

T.C.:

penguins are in the South. If someone commented like, oh, go. We got this guy coming up here helping the animals. You afraid we're gonna drown some penguins? Penguins are down in the South of like, Jim Carrey, like, mocking a guy for not knowing what animals are in the North and what are in the South while doing a Morgan Freeman impression.

T.C.:

We're into some Jim Carrey territory here. Those jokes are writing themselves.

Jim:

Yeah. I I think there's

T.C.:

A butt flap on his parka so he can tell.

Jim:

Innumerable moose jokes to be done.

Fionn:

Yeah. Moose, bear, wolves, beavers. Mhmm. Lots of animals up there.

Jim:

So many animals. Rife with humor.

T.C.:

He could he could be like you know, he he is great with the animals. He could brag about his moose call constantly. Like, do a great moose call. Do a great moose call. And finally he's like, Alright, I'm going do it.

T.C.:

Ready? Hey, moose. Then a moose comes, he's like, There you go, nailed it. Nice. Just all that subverting expectations on his Ventura joke.

Jim:

Print

T.C.:

it. Print it.

Fionn:

It'd be some kind of adorable little cute animal, like an otter or something.

T.C.:

Oh, yeah.

Fionn:

To get a And then he's like

T.C.:

thinking he has found the cute little baby otter and a freaking walrus comes out of nowhere. Yeah. He's like, and he's like, no. He's like hanging on to the tusks and just like wrestling with this and do it practically, just get a walrus like head, like puppet head and just have him like, Jim Carrey wrestling this thing like

Fionn:

Yeah. There's Perfect.

T.C.:

There's I can see that. That's funny. Is this all about just coming up with, like, what's the set pieces Jim Carrey can joke around with? Because here's the There's the animal angle, then there's, like, the real, like, what's the actual mystery. Sure.

T.C.:

It's like he was looking for snowflakes.

Jim:

Working on that.

T.C.:

There's murders all over, and it was a revenge kick.

Jim:

I like the idea. Now this might be going too much into the folly that Die Hard went into, but I like the idea of of making the stakes bigger, of it not necessarily being a single animal that is the driving mystery, but the whole the whole ecosystem essentially crashing in many animals going, oh, oh, may well, actually, that could be poaching again. I'll say it. Maybe it'll give you guys an idea. Yeah.

Jim:

What if many animals are going missing and it's being written off as climate change because, oh, it the like, climate's changing, so it's driving these animals off. Mhmm. But somebody doesn't believe that to be true. They think someone else is stealing the animals, and so Ace is brought in to find out what's going on.

T.C.:

Where did the animals go?

Fionn:

Yeah. Oh, nice.

T.C.:

I I wonder if there could be an element of I like that's that's something there because it's not exactly poaching. It could be like relocating or, you know, this land doesn't have any animals on it, so we're free to to do stuff to it. And like, no. There are animals here. Where are there?

T.C.:

They someone has moved the animals off the land so they could develop on here.

Fionn:

So they can put a pipeline in or they can develop

T.C.:

on here. So then it's not poaching. It's animal relocation against their will. And like Yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

A joke about saving the cute ones, but not the the monster. So again, with the the walrus, like, save the otters. They're cute. You can leave the walruses. Walruses are animals too.

T.C.:

I should have left you behind. Yes. Nice.

Fionn:

Could he also tie in and do some kind of like Aquaman joke that that's come out recently? You could do like other pop culture reference and things like that, right? Because surely, yeah, he he likes sings songs from commercials that we love. He shows references to Star Trek, like you mentioned, the whole Snowflake Cage thing. Like there's there's pop culture stuff that he throws in there.

Fionn:

So if he's already fighting a walrus, do they eventually go underwater and then he summons the fish like aqua fish?

T.C.:

Because you said that, I think I know who could be cast as our villain, or at least the red herring villain, Jason Momoa, who is not known to be a funny I think his I don't know if Jason Momoa could is funny. I know he is charming and whatnot, but there might be something funny of seeing freaking Jason Momoa Sure. In Alaska Yeah. Going against Jim Carrey. Right.

T.C.:

Like, the just the visual juxtaposition, I think.

Jim:

In a TV show, Netflix called Frontier Mhmm. Which takes place in that environment.

T.C.:

So he would be fine going north there.

Jim:

So yeah. Alright. That that it's Momoa's in everyone. Potentially related to what we're talking about.

T.C.:

Well, does the studio like that to have Aquaman involved? Sure. Cool. Because then we can get a a dated Aquaman joke like we got a dated Batman Forever joke.

Fionn:

Yeah. Exactly.

T.C.:

You knew what you were doing when you said it. Yep. So is there was there a love angle in Ace Ventura too? I know he sleeps with, like, the tribes, like, princess and, like. Yeah, there's there's always

Fionn:

some sort of romantic interest. Okay. And I think, you know, you're you're two for two in the first two movies. You're probably gonna need to do it again on this one.

T.C.:

Okay. There's quite a bit of difference between Courtney Cox and Ace of Turtle one. Was the princess in number two, so having some sort of probably more towards Courtney Cox, someone that he's working with along the way. Cause she was the liaison to the dolphins. She wasn't a cop or anything.

T.C.:

She was just his contact between Snowflake and his organization or her. I don't remember if Snowflake was a female. He?

Jim:

Don't know. I'm thinking

T.C.:

up on his tail?

Jim:

I'm thinking it would be

T.C.:

You can quote him. Yeah. Okay.

Jim:

It would be the client.

T.C.:

Oh, she's the one who hired him. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Some sort of Inuit, some sort of Maybe.

T.C.:

Escharmo.

Jim:

Yeah. Sure. Maybe an environmental scientist who's like, no. This is there's something else is going on.

T.C.:

She's the one who's like, no. These there were animals here. The animals are missing. Yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

The animals just got up and moved. Someone stole all the animals. That's ridiculous, says the villain very openly. Yeah. Mustache Troy.

Jim:

I I gotta say this. It's probably a terrible idea, but I really want the the villain to be Jamie Kennedy.

T.C.:

Know why. Played because he played the mask in the mask too. What freaking

Jim:

don't know. Tell me tell me no. Someone tell me no.

T.C.:

So we have to ask the estate of Jamie Kennedy if they can CG recreate him. I'm assuming he's

Jim:

dead. Oh. What?

T.C.:

Why am I so mean today?

Jim:

What is happening? Don't know what you

Fionn:

are checking in on this episode.

T.C.:

Oh my god. Go listen to any other episode.

Jim:

Jamie Kennedy, I apologize. You're my favorite listener.

T.C.:

Oh, man. I like this show. I'm sorry, Jamie Kennedy. I didn't mean to imply that you're dead. I'm just saying your career is.

Fionn:

Oh, it got worse somehow.

T.C.:

He hasn't done anything. Oh, he's been working. Okay. Sorry. Sorry, Jamie Kennedy.

T.C.:

You were in tremors five, a cold day in hell. I didn't mean to. Oh, he was.

Jim:

I really want that franchise to Why be am I being so mean

T.C.:

today, Finn? What did you do? What's in this lemonade? Yeah.

Jim:

Mhmm. Is it a hard lemonade?

T.C.:

Shut up,

Jim:

bitch. Joke. Yeah. That was a really I no. I deserved that.

Jim:

That was that one's deserved.

T.C.:

You know what? Let's take a break here. Let's come let's let's take a breather here. I need to I'm gonna take a walk around the house just to get all this negative energy off, man. I'm gonna come back and slap you, and we'll get right back into this.

Jim:

Sounds good. Okay.

T.C.:

I didn't wanna walk around the house.

Jim:

Sketch comedy every Thursday on the Top Hat Balloon Show. Subscribe now. I've started carrying cheese in my pockets all the time.

T.C.:

Why have you done that? The climax tech ace who's been kind of mocking Canadians the whole time gets some revelations like, don't you understand why I recruited you? You're Canadian. Like, has a Canadian birthmark on his back he always wondered about. It's a maple leaf, like, Oh my god.

T.C.:

He's talking on his butt and his pants rip, and you see the birthmark on his left cheek. Where did you get that birthmark? Oh, it's always been here. Don't you know all Canadians have a maple leaf birthmark somewhere on their person? Amazing.

T.C.:

So then suddenly he's speaking with the accent, suddenly he's truly He's just full in Canadian. Just instantly? On a dime, embracing. He's like, My brother's a Just full in, drinking, drinking Canadian impression I'm very excited by the part You know who would do a better one? Jim Carrey.

Jim:

It's true. I'm sorry.

T.C.:

I need to write in a Canadian accent?

Jim:

Yes, do.

T.C.:

Oh, yeah. You know, there are people who say because I have a Wisconsin accent that I kinda sound like I'm from Canada.

Fionn:

Which is false. It's more Minnesota.

T.C.:

That's true. Wait. I have a Minnesota accent? No. The Wisconsin.

T.C.:

Okay. Yeah. Oh, okay. The last thing hear is that

Jim:

I would say it's like a cross between Minnesota and Chicago.

Fionn:

Because that's what Wisconsin is. Yes. That's where it is.

Jim:

But I mean, no one else I've never heard I want other to hear other people say it. No one else does. It just gets like a mix of

Fionn:

Minnesota and Chicago.

Jim:

It's now

T.C.:

a thing. Two people have said

Jim:

it. Yep. Now You can make a line.

T.C.:

Let me get back to my Canadian accent.

Jim:

Yeah.

T.C.:

Oh, yeah. Good job. We'll fix

Jim:

it in post. Yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

He's like chugging maple syrup and he's just eating Canadian bacon. Like, he's just wearing a mounty outfit. He's just all in. Did they make a Dudley do right movie? Oh, yeah.

T.C.:

Brendan Fraser's in it. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Cool.

T.C.:

Okay.

Jim:

I'm I'm okay with that that twist.

T.C.:

The the evil Canadian government.

Jim:

Or or or maybe just there's a certain politician who's trying to swindle a deal. Mhmm. And he's It doesn't have to be like an entire shadow government.

T.C.:

But I think there is some funny in there that that there's a whole faction of evil Canadians. You're all so polite and nice. We're gonna torture you to death. Right.

Fionn:

Yeah. Yeah. You could have a

T.C.:

If you don't mind. Real sorry about this, but, we're gonna have to kill you.

Fionn:

And maybe that's where the discovery comes from. Right? Like, they have captured him. Mhmm. He's in the chair.

Fionn:

They're gonna torture him.

T.C.:

He dressed up like the walrus he keeps fighting, and they're not they're too polite to poach. They're too polite to kill all these animals. Yeah. They've been relocating them. Right.

T.C.:

And he's in a cage in the in the the Noah's Ark facility they created of all the animals they've relocated.

Fionn:

Yeah. Yep.

T.C.:

He doesn't have to come out of its butt. Mhmm.

Jim:

But he can.

T.C.:

But he can.

Jim:

I'm not saying he

T.C.:

he won't. And the same the studio isn't demanding that he crawl out of another animal's anus. Yeah. A ness.

Jim:

I see what you did there.

Fionn:

You're correct. Fair enough.

T.C.:

You're welcome.

Jim:

Yeah. So the one other thing I wanna know Mhmm. Is where has he been?

T.C.:

Oh, did he go into exile again?

Jim:

I'd that's that's currently what I'm thinking. Does anyone have better ideas?

T.C.:

Wait. Where has he been for oh my gosh. When was Ace Ventura when Nature Calls? '90 I'm gonna guess '98. Let's see if I'm right.

T.C.:

Mhmm. Please talk while I'm listening.

Jim:

I think it's earlier than that.

T.C.:

'95. Yeah.

Fionn:

Yeah. Is it possible that he's been on a ship and has just not come back to land yet?

T.C.:

Like a a fishing trawler.

Jim:

The answer is yes. He's out. He's got a huge

Fionn:

Jim Carrey beard.

T.C.:

Oh, and your first joke is he can't handle the land. Like, he steps off the boat and he's like Oh, sure. Rocking on the land, doing a very Jim Carrey movement, then he just falls over.

Fionn:

Yep. Yep.

Jim:

Yep. Gotta get my land

T.C.:

legs I got my sea legs, getting my land legs back. And he's just like, why won't you work?

Fionn:

But I think maybe that moment where he runs across the field of battle carrying Shikaka, the albino bat Okay. Traumatizes him so much that he now lives at sea, where there are no bats. And he's got, you know, whatever is going on there. I'm not sure what he's been doing in particular, but he's been out there.

T.C.:

Just been dealing with aquatic life. Yeah. Which actually is helps helpful because he would there are a lot of, northern animals that there's whale whales. We talked about the sea lions and the walrus that he's gonna have, like, a nemesis out of.

Fionn:

It also means that the woman who hires him has to go find him somehow. And so you've got a pretty decent scene of him in his little one man sailboat And this large yacht coming over or whatever it is.

T.C.:

Him singing like acting like Brody from Earl acting like Quint from Jaws, like singing to himself. Yeah. Man goes into the water. I don't know. That might be a little too master of disguise, but, yeah, that your opening is or her the mystery, like, she's the cold open discovering that something's like, and then going out to find Ace Ventura.

T.C.:

Where has he been?

Fionn:

Or you do the cold open like they did in two where you start on him and you have no context for what's going on. So it opens like a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Foggy, dark, cold, a ship alone rocking in the thing.

Jim:

Then The

T.C.:

opening of two is him climbing the mountain and losing his monkey.

Jim:

And then

T.C.:

it jumps ahead. Yeah.

Fionn:

Because it I couldn't remember if that was a flashback or if that was just the thing.

T.C.:

I've I'm almost certain that that's the opening because it was a very key moment in my life watching it and turning to my friend and saying, you know, one day they're gonna make that blue screen look so real, we won't be able to tell that he's not on a mountain. Because I remember it being very clearly fake. He wasn't he was probably in a studio or something. And I was right, because now you can do that, and people don't know. Yeah.

T.C.:

There you go. I just

Jim:

What if what if the cold open is him at sea Mhmm. And either he's fishing or he's capturing seagulls or something. Oh, I got a big one. I got a big one. And he's he had he would he retrieves something from inside either the fish or the bird or whatever, And it's like a wedding ringer.

Jim:

So he's completing a previous job. He was hired Oh. To track down.

T.C.:

Oh, so he gets he, like, pulls a ring out of a salmon or something. Yeah. And then

Fionn:

some gigantic fish that he's gotta put his whole arm into to get it out because he won't kill anything.

Jim:

Right?

T.C.:

Yeah.

Fionn:

So yeah.

T.C.:

This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me.

Fionn:

Yeah. And he he

T.C.:

chills his arm. And I got and I go, woah. What's that little guy right there? And Yep. Ting.

T.C.:

Nice. There you go. If he's unavailable, I do a great Canadian accent. Okay. Yeah.

T.C.:

That's your cold open, and then he maybe goes back to shore to, like, drop off, but he won't get off the boat. And, like Right. He hands it off to the pier. Like, here's your ring. You can propose to your your oh, thanks, Derek.

T.C.:

That was really nice of you.

Jim:

Then I I think it shouldn't be anywhere near Canada.

T.C.:

No. I I think it's

Jim:

Oh, he's,

T.C.:

like, in Iceland or something? No. No. The Philippines.

Jim:

He should be in a warm

T.C.:

spot. Okay. Alright.

Jim:

Sure. I I was initially thinking, like, South America, somewhere around the Galapagos, but Philippines, I think, would work as well.

T.C.:

And so she has to find him. I see. So, like

Jim:

Yeah. And she does. She maybe she walks up after after the the person that he gives the ring to, whatever, walks away, and she's talking to him as he's as the boat's bobbing up and down. And she's

T.C.:

like, can can

Jim:

can we please have a discussion?

T.C.:

Like, he's just like

Fionn:

And it's just him moving up

Jim:

and down. Yeah. No. I was thinking the boat would. Sure.

T.C.:

The boat's

Fionn:

fine, but he's accentuating it, like the way he does when he's driving the car

Jim:

and he's like,

T.C.:

oh, sure. T. T. T.

Jim:

T. Bang. Yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

What's really great is we're all physically doing this right now. Just amazing audio.

Fionn:

It's really good for

Jim:

the podcast. It is. Yeah.

T.C.:

That's great. Him bobbing up and down, and he's, like, pushing to make the boat, like, rock more as he's talking to her, she's like

Fionn:

And he's getting distracted like Jim like, Ace Ventura does. He's, like, looking more at how the boat's moving, and he's getting excited.

T.C.:

I I do think one of the points that is the point of contact he has takes him 100% seriously and never cracks. So Courtney Cox never cracks, the British guy who hires him, they're always just like, 100%, he can do whatever he wants, and they just accept that he's so even though he's being foolish, she just continues to talk to him. I'm from the Great White North, and this is a problem right here, and she's just committed to giving the exposition while he's going, Oh.

Fionn:

Yeah. Well, that's the thing in every one in both of the other movies is nobody's winking. He's the only funny like, he's the ridiculous clown. Yeah. Like, everybody else is the straight man.

T.C.:

I think of the in the party sequence when he goes, he's like, Where's your bathroom? I think it's the bad day. Stuff like that, and like, Do not go in there. The three darts is too many. Everybody treats it like he's the anomaly in this world, and everyone just accepts that this is a thing.

T.C.:

Yeah. Okay, yeah. I love that boat. That's we got a

Jim:

great oak.

T.C.:

I'm I'm on board here.

Fionn:

Alright.

T.C.:

No no pun intended on that one.

Fionn:

Oh, that's too bad.

T.C.:

It was intentional? Is it too late?

Fionn:

Hey. I mean, it it feels a little

T.C.:

I'll let it out. I'll let it out. Okay. Set everyone laugh, Freddie. Alright.

Jim:

And holy. That was good. Woah. Woah. Thank God.

Jim:

Buns.

Fionn:

Thank God that was intentional.

T.C.:

It was. I'm not gonna edit that out. So now you guys look like the fools. Wow. I should run around the house again.

T.C.:

Should

Jim:

run Real jerk. If you have if you wanna say something to or about mean T.C, just tweet him at TupacWaxon and let him know.

T.C.:

We have a I don't know what's wrong maybe. So he gets north. He does he not like Canada? Like, is there or is he Was that a thing at all in the second one? No.

T.C.:

I just think for the twist of him suddenly realizing he's Canadian and fully accepting it, I think if he's annoyed by them for the

Jim:

most part repeat that joke if it had been done, like like, like, complains that Africa's hot and dry or something.

Fionn:

Like No.

T.C.:

No. Okay. I just just for the reveal that he finds out he's Canadian and fully embraces it just makes it a fun one eighty, I think. I feel like we've gotten something here that Jim Carrey would enjoy doing. I don't know.

Fionn:

I could be

T.C.:

I mean, we don't know the man.

Fionn:

Yeah. Or what if it's the opposite of he always wished he was Canadian because of how nice they are and how well they treat their wildlife and all this stuff.

T.C.:

Like, he

Fionn:

holds them on a pedestal. Mhmm. And then when he finally meets them, they're these corrupt government officials, and he hates them and then finds out that he's Canadian.

Jim:

Like, he's Oh, he's mad. Yeah.

T.C.:

I always wanted to be one of you. Then you are one

Fionn:

of us.

T.C.:

I never wanted that. This has been a roller coaster of a journey.

Jim:

I

T.C.:

can see this. I can see this. We're twenty years since the last one, '95, '95, ninety five, fifteen years. No, wait. Did I do the math wrong?

T.C.:

How long?

Jim:

Long time. I broke me. It's been twenty four years. Math.

T.C.:

So twenty four years removed from Ace Ventura when nature calls, we have discussed the, oh, the dumb and dumber is bad or dumb and dumber too is horrible. And I and this is this is a the problem with that one, doing a quick little review of that, is that in in the first in Dumb and Dumber, they're idiots Mhmm. And they're kinda mean to each other, but they're obviously friends. Harry goes off and goes skiing with Swanson. Even though she Mary.

T.C.:

Yeah. Like, they're mean to it. In the second one, Jim Carrey's Lloyd is just a bad guy. Like, he's not funny and being rude and stupid. He's straight up malicious.

T.C.:

What makes that movie bad, but it's even worse because he's not playing a nice guy at all. There's nothing endearing about his stupidity. Interesting. That even affects rewatching the first one where I can just see him now as more of a jerk as opposed to just an ignorant moron. Sure.

T.C.:

Yeah. So what are some things this is something I was thinking about when I was running around the house earlier. Yeah. Trying to get less jerky, which I should go do real quick. What are some things we can we shouldn't do?

T.C.:

What things that we we would ruin this movie, I think, is a is something to consider here. Junior. Don't have a kid. Yeah. You're yeah.

T.C.:

This because your mommy returns or Shanghai Knights or, like, every I I think it's Too fast, too fur furious.

Jim:

It's a trope and a cliche that can kid. Yeah. That's what

T.C.:

I'm saying.

Fionn:

Yeah. I understand. It's a I got that.

T.C.:

Thank you.

Jim:

It's a it's a trope and a cliche that can work sometimes. Yeah. It doesn't work as often as it's used.

Fionn:

How about something like this? And this is not a demand. This is just a curiosity to see what you guys are gonna do with it.

Jim:

What

Fionn:

if we meet Ace Ventura's dad? Oh. And he's this tough Canadian, like, woodsman. So he

Jim:

That would suggest he knew he was Canadian. And that's Jason always Momoa.

T.C.:

Jason Momoa is Jim Carr those Canadians are so nice and so healthy. This guy's 63.

Jim:

Yeah. Hey,

T.C.:

it's good to see you again. Or it's his brother. Yes. Nice. Meeting his dad.

T.C.:

So actually, that's that is not well, let's see where we go there because that's been

Jim:

that's all that's also a little cliche. We could probably make it work. We could probably make it work easier than having a kid. Sure.

T.C.:

Well, okay. Let's let's have a little more fun with this. If it's his dad, what if it's his mom and she's like a grizzled, like, detective, that's where he learned from, and she's the one who reveals it to him, like, there's something I never told you. You're Canadian. Like, she's the one who reveals it to him.

T.C.:

Then you get, like, Helen Mirren up in here, like, getting someone, like, way too prestigious to be in a movie like this for some Helen Mirren's in two fast in in two of the fast and the furious movies, so she's not below an Ace Ventura three is what I'm saying.

Jim:

Honestly, I I think someone who has shown that they could be a version of Ace Ventura to, like, sort of cinch it, like, oh, yeah. That is his mom? Yeah. Kathy Bates. Oh, yeah.

T.C.:

Hell yes. The studio is pleased.

Jim:

And and she's I don't think she's a detective, but she also she loves animals. Right? So she probably has her own like like, she adopts and she takes care. So I don't know if she will do Oh, that would actually that would be kind of amazing.

T.C.:

Oh, could hurt. Okay. We're having a we're having a suggestion from the peanut gallery that Dan Aykroyd, who's also Canadian Yeah. Revealed that it's his dad. That's good.

T.C.:

Thank you.

Jim:

Yeah. He's

T.C.:

only, like, years older.

T.C.:

But That's fine. Sean Connery is only a few years older than Harrison Ford, and they played father and son. Yep. Kathy Bates is a pretty damn good

T.C.:

show of salvage choice.

Fionn:

A Jim Carrey Kathy Bates vehicle. I think that this is this is pretty great.

T.C.:

Oh, she has proven herself very capable of comedy. Yeah.

T.C.:

We

T.C.:

have someone else another another suggestion?

Jim:

No. No.

Fionn:

I don't

T.C.:

know who that was.

Jim:

It was well, the audience is gonna wonder. It was Justin Bieber.

T.C.:

Oh, he's also Canadian.

Fionn:

Yeah. He is. Yes.

T.C.:

No. He looks like a young Jim Carrey.

Fionn:

I I will say this though.

T.C.:

No. He doesn't.

Fionn:

If you put him in a really nice suit

Jim:

Mhmm.

Fionn:

And you make him the government contact who turns out to be the sleazy shitbag sorry.

Jim:

Can I say that on your podcast? I've already yeah. You I Explicit. You know what? I'm really sorry, Jamie Kennedy.

Jim:

This idea is this works.

T.C.:

So Jamie's out and Justin Bieber's If

Jim:

Justin's in, yeah. Oh, that's hate I hate that. I hate that I'm doing that. I hate it.

Fionn:

Yeah. And we want our audience to hate him too.

T.C.:

So So you know what we need? A straight up punch to the face fist fight between Jim Carrey and Justin Bieber. Yes. Just like a, and his face is fine. He never bleeds, he never chips, and Jim's like, Damn Canadians, you're so handsome and nice.

T.C.:

You're so healthy. That's your damn healthcare. Beating And his ass, and his face is

Fionn:

perfectly And like throwing him over furniture.

Jim:

He's fine. He just keeps getting up.

T.C.:

He's like an unstoppable machine.

Fionn:

He doesn't even have to dust himself off or straighten his coat because he just gets up and he looks perfect.

T.C.:

Jim's, like, begrudgingly accepting this.

Jim:

I don't I don't like

T.C.:

Is there another handsome Canadian when Yes. You get to

Jim:

There is. It's Ryan Reynolds.

T.C.:

Yep. Oh my god. Ryan Reynolds? Are you kidding me? How about Tom Green?

Jim:

Oh my god. The most handsome Canadian.

T.C.:

Jim Carrey. Oh my god. The problem with with casting Ryan Reynolds is

Jim:

Nothing. No problem. Zero problem.

T.C.:

Is this world does not have other funny people in it. Like Jim Carrey's ace is the funny man. So, though I like the idea of Ryan Reynolds because he's so damn charming and so handsome, and he's really handsome, and he's handsome. Yeah. And But but you

Jim:

just if you make him the corporate crony Mhmm. The or the the the evil politician Mhmm. The thing is Ryan Reynolds, I think, can play a straight man

T.C.:

Oh, he can. As well. Proposal with Sandra Bullock's a good example of that.

Jim:

And the situation you just described, I think, would take actually a good straight man to get beaten up, but still have Yeah. Nothing but component

T.C.:

Oh, no. What was the bodyguard thing he did? The Hitman's

Fionn:

bodyguard. But

T.C.:

that was that was very dead bully.

Jim:

Actually, But I got

Fionn:

he was the straight man.

Jim:

Yeah. Actually, I'm I'm liking this even more because now the scenes that he is in with Ace Yeah. Ace would be this over the top goofy guy, and he would have these, like, just just stinging one liners with, like, dead pan he

T.C.:

could do it. Yeah. Oh, and But at point, he'd have to

Jim:

do it. A delivery, but

Fionn:

At some point, he'd have to get beaten up by some kind of animal. Right? Like, there's always an animal stampede The walrus.

T.C.:

Walrus that has been

Jim:

giving Ace so many problems.

Fionn:

A moose, something like that. Yeah. Like, he baits him into meeting him on the beach and

Jim:

sticks the

Fionn:

walrus out of him.

Jim:

Actually, what if it just keeps happening? And then we like, he should show up all disheveled and crippled, but he he's always perfect.

T.C.:

Yeah. Ryan Reynolds. Ryan

Fionn:

Reynolds. And Ace Ventura is always, like, flabbergasted that he's not only there, but he looks so good. He feels really handsome.

T.C.:

When they finally have their throw down well, of all, Ryan Reynolds wears glasses through the whole thing because he's a nerd. He takes the glasses off and if the shirt comes off and he's fricking jacked, that's more Canadian healthcare jokes right there. Just like, Oh, you're so then the beating ensues and he's fine. Ryan finally gets a punch in and Ace is like, Oh. Oh.

T.C.:

And Ryan's like, oh. Oh. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Oh, Why'd you do that?

T.C.:

Why would you do that? Got you. Nice. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

T.C.:

So we got Kathy Bates playing his mother.

Jim:

Mhmm. We

T.C.:

got Ryan Reynolds playing the corporate stooge, but he ends up fist fighting in the end. Yep. Oh, more coming. Sorry.

Jim:

I just thought like like, the way to incorporate Ace's mom, the reason that she gets brought in is because these animals are being trafficked. Right? Mhmm. And his mother, because she's about saving animals and stuff, she is involved, albeit she's trying to rescue them. She's involved in animal traffic like, she's trying to stop animal trafficking.

T.C.:

Mhmm.

Jim:

So she actually ends up adopting lots of animals that get trafficked and stuff. So when he finds it out, the scientist is like, how are we ever gonna track these down? And it goes to Ace, and he's as I know like, zooms in. I know someone. And then we cut to her in her her home zoo.

Fionn:

Yeah. And is she so

Jim:

And and it's like like you do, like, the whole strange thing. Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.

T.C.:

You know, I never liked cats, but I'm more of a dog person.

Fionn:

Yep. Yeah. Nice. Yep. So if we've got Ryan Reynolds as the corporate bad guy Mhmm.

Fionn:

Then we need to find a spot for our Jason Momo. So is he Ace Ventura's mother's new lover?

T.C.:

To keep, you know, you bring

Fionn:

in Do we give a scene to Kathy Bates where she gets to make out with Jason so freaking lutely. And that brings women into the Mhmm. Into the thing.

T.C.:

I mean, we got shirtless Ryan Reynolds and shirtless Jason Moa. Yeah. Yeah.

Fionn:

Great. Okay. So we're good there. Who else do we need to guess here?

T.C.:

Who's gonna play the love interest or the the woman who hires him? Carrie Washington would be awesome. Like, she I she has a Courtney Cox quality tour in in her. She can do comedies, having seen her in when she hosted SNL. She can do some really weird stuff, like we like, more offbeat pseudo reality like she did in Django Unchained.

T.C.:

I don't know. Jim's

Jim:

Isn't Sandra Bullock Canadian? Is she?

T.C.:

I I don't know. I'd like to see. I'd just throw it out there as to if the studio doesn't mind, a little person of color wouldn't hurt anything.

Fionn:

I was just thinking, is there a way we can get a native for somebody?

Jim:

I mean, yes. The answer

Fionn:

is yes. Just don't have anyone I'm not good with actors.

Jim:

It's okay.

Fionn:

I barely am hanging on to the people we're throwing around right now.

T.C.:

I suppose we could get someone like Sandra Oh. I mean, she's for herself very capable of comedy and Grey's Anatomy. She hosted SNL. Actually, Ali Wong, if you wanna get someone more recent, you could probably draw from the Crazy Rich Asians kiss because they're all hilarious. Shout it out, peanut gallery.

T.C.:

Sandra, always Canadian. We're just going to draw all the great white North actors and actresses into this thing.

Fionn:

I'm into that.

T.C.:

At some point, Jim Carrey could call Ryan Reynolds or his character Justin Bieber. And like, no, no, no. We don't count him as officially Canadian anymore. We've apologized for I him am not going to keep apologizing for Justin Bieber. I'm sorry.

T.C.:

I'm very sorry. So now I do not want I had asked a while ago, what are things to not do in this? And I think there's a risk of something that has been becoming a serious problem in comedies of this ilk, and it's way too many cameos. Kathy Bates, Ryan Reynolds, this is the cast. This is not people who are coming in for a quick thing and leaving.

Fionn:

Yeah. I don't think there's any cameos. There haven't been in the first ones. I I don't think there should be any

T.C.:

The the most you could call cameo is Dan Marino, but he actually has scenes. He isn't, like, in and out. Right.

Fionn:

And and the story revolved around him. Yeah. So that makes sense.

T.C.:

That's yeah.

Jim:

He just didn't

Fionn:

show up just to show up.

Jim:

Because Ace Ventura's mom's new boyfriend needs to be more than just arm candy in a scene.

T.C.:

Certainly. I think that she

Jim:

He he needs to be arm candy in every scene.

T.C.:

In a few scenes. Yeah. As soon as she's involved, like, even if she's like, okay. We're gonna we need to go split up and do this and this. Ace, you know, for your for your safety, why don't you take my my boy toy with you?

T.C.:

And he's like, I'm fine, mom. I don't eat your boy toy. And then, you know, having them have to

Fionn:

And he just keeps trying to reach out, like, I know I'm not your dad.

T.C.:

Yes. That's hilarious.

Fionn:

And he keeps giving him father son advice. You can And he's, like, way younger than him.

T.C.:

Jake Harrison is fifties. Jason Momo is probably in his thirties.

Fionn:

I don't need you to call me dad.

T.C.:

But if you want to.

Fionn:

But if you wanted to, that'd be all.

T.C.:

I wouldn't I wouldn't say no.

T.C.:

Ryan Ribbles fight is happening.

T.C.:

Oh, here. Hold on second. Point that at her. Hello. Welcome to another another guest joining the cast right now, a frequent collaborator to our audience at the very least.

T.C.:

Go ahead

Jim:

and introduce yourself.

T.C.:

Hey. I'm Leah.

T.C.:

Hi, Leah.

T.C.:

So the only, idea I would like to pitch in is when the Ryan Reynolds shirtless fight is happening, you know, Jason Momo, the fight kind of ends, but he jumps in and he's also shirtless, but we cut away to the Jason Momo Ryan Reynolds shirtless fight.

T.C.:

Oh, you're asking for

T.C.:

I just need

T.C.:

of them just rolling around together.

T.C.:

But we don't see it. Like, it's a big tease.

T.C.:

No. No. No. You not only do not see it, but Jim Carrey is describing it to his mom. Like, ugh.

T.C.:

You're okay. So your your boy toy took his shirt off, health care at its finest, and then I was fighting a guy, and he sure and I'm looking at it right now, and you should see it, mom. You should they're glistening bodies rolling on. They're going, oh, the pants are off. All the pants are off.

T.C.:

Like and just describing the fights. Jason Momo is 39. Jim Carrey is 57. Or Yes.

Fionn:

Trying to get him to call him dad. Have to call him Brilliant. That's amazing. I love that. And I know I just called my own idea brilliant, but hey.

T.C.:

Boy, you're being a real a hole.

Jim:

I'm gonna

T.C.:

be a

Fionn:

real PC this episode. No. That's be a thing.

T.C.:

So yeah. So the the Ryan Reynolds is the corporate stooge. Who's who's the the big man at the top? It's not Ryan. Ryan Reynolds

Jim:

isn't think it I that that was my intent is is that it was.

T.C.:

I okay. I was seeing him more as the the muscle to the, like, the person trying to throw off Ace's case, the one who's, like, meddling the whole time. Kinda like Einhorn was meddling with Ace the whole time. There's the bad guy he's working for in the end.

Fionn:

Right. The poacher was trying to meddle with his case the whole time. And in fact, he's the one who hired him in the first place in the second one.

T.C.:

So I'd I'd and this risks in that territory of, like, oh, it's just a cameo. So, like, Dan Aykroyd, whose name was thrown out before, which is is humorous. I think maybe, like, a photo of Dan Aykroyd being his dad would be enough for me. I don't particularly care for Dan Aykroyd, but that's another podcast. But having having someone not I don't want it to be a cameo, but someone Ryan Reynolds is reporting to.

T.C.:

Like, maybe if it's the the PM of, like, whoever the Justin Trudeau I guess Ryan Reynolds is old enough to be Justin Trudeau esque in this, but I don't want he needs to be some corporate representative stooge there. But, like

Fionn:

What about, like, Tom Hardy?

T.C.:

Heavy. Like, Tom Hardy?

Jim:

Yeah.

T.C.:

I was I was thinking older. I was I mean

Jim:

I I don't know. I like I like Ryan as the, like, the the final mastermind. The the the slick young politician just just It's just

T.C.:

him behind. There's no man behind the curtain

Jim:

or in streets. Ruining the world for his own riches.

T.C.:

Do think there's something that's safer. There's something in the simplicity of a comedy that we're kind of losing with more high concept comedies that we keep getting. I think you're right, that instead of giving it another twist along the way, that there's some older gentleman, like, futzing with him.

Fionn:

Is John Lithgow Canadian?

T.C.:

I love John Lithgow. He would do a comedy like this. He did daddy's home too. So

Jim:

Yeah. Well, we don't No.

Fionn:

He's

Jim:

It doesn't have to be Canadians. We do have other non Canadians No.

T.C.:

In this. Is a representative.

Jim:

Oh, okay.

T.C.:

No. I I, yeah. I think that there's something here that we have a lot of is this would the studio be satisfied with this? What are we missing? What is what is something here?

T.C.:

It's Jim Carrey's comeback to Ace Ventura. You sell it on that. Ryan Reynolds and Jason Momoa in one movie together, shirtless.

Jim:

Mhmm.

T.C.:

That's like Kathy Bates bringing in the older crowd for her prestige. The setting is different. Yep. It does feel like a natural sequel to the previous two. This does feel like a lot like a way to go.

T.C.:

I I what's who's Canadian? Donald Sutherland. Donald Sutherland is Canadian. I did reference 24 earlier.

Jim:

Yeah. There you go. What's a That's that's key for Sutherland.

T.C.:

Key for oh, I know.

Fionn:

Donald is the Is that the name? We're

Jim:

gonna real real

T.C.:

quick now.

Fionn:

Donald's Donald's is Canadian in America. This is how we're

T.C.:

doing that. What's it? ASMR. Yeah.

Fionn:

Does that mean key for Sutherland is Canadian?

T.C.:

Nope. Wait. If down Southern is Canadian, is key for Southern Canadian?

Jim:

Oh, you gotta stay quiet. I thought we were doing it. This is a really weird episode.

Fionn:

Sorry. It's me. My bad.

Jim:

I don't know. Don't know. Think we've checked off answer to that question.

T.C.:

I think we've checked off, everything that could possibly lead to a successful film here. What is there anything else I did say? Don't do this. Don't do cameos. Don't litter this with cameos here and there, like, every scene because that's a huge problem.

T.C.:

Anchorman two is nothing but cameos. Zoolander two is nothing but cameos. That's not funny. Cameos used to be special. They're not anymore, and especially

Jim:

going to

T.C.:

movies like this.

Jim:

Anchor Man, I think, is a great example of that. The first one, the cameos were magical.

T.C.:

Yeah. It was like, what? Oh, man. What? But in Anchor Man two, was just, okay.

T.C.:

Another one. Another one. Zoolander two is worse for that. Mhmm. And it's it's it's it's ruined it's ruined what made Cameo special in the first place.

T.C.:

I'd love to see this I would love to see this movie handled with as much cinematic acumen as the first one. This one is all this is a a competently made film, a detective story, a mystery that has an insane person in it. Yeah.

Fionn:

Yeah. I also think you should avoid referencing any of the other two films Mhmm. Because the second didn't, so we don't have that pattern to fall back on. That's another thing to avoid.

T.C.:

And for those who have heard me rant about it before, I love trilogies that aren't forced trilogies, that you can watch them in any order, that they're more anthological. Yes. Word? I said acumen before. That was pretty impressive.

Jim:

Yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

Thank you for validating me.

Jim:

You're welcome. You're welcome. Okay.

T.C.:

Is there anything other mistakes that could be made in here? Think you're right. Don't reference the other films. Don't have cameos glories I've ranted about for too long.

Fionn:

So something that I I dislike in sequels is when in the first movie of the series, it's there's something fantastic that happens.

Jim:

Mhmm.

Fionn:

And so you see, you know, in in X Men, Storm's eyes turn white. And the camera zooms in on her face and her eyes And turn then in X Men two, she summons a storm and the camera zooms in and her eyes are white. It's like

T.C.:

Like repeating that game.

Fionn:

Yeah. Like, and then in the third one, she summons her eyes. Yeah. I get it. I get it.

T.C.:

Her eyes

Fionn:

go white.

Jim:

It's a it's a transformation sequence. It's like Sailor Moon. You gotta see it every time.

T.C.:

I don't know. Do you? I don't have to. So are you saying we don't need to see Ace talk out of his butt?

Fionn:

I'm thinking there are certain jokes that are very Ace Ventura jokes, and they're not necessary. Okay. So I I So, yeah, talking out of his butt is one of them. It's iconic Ace Ventura, so I'm not sure whether that stays or goes. Mhmm.

Fionn:

But it's also something we've seen already.

T.C.:

It's it's rehashing the joke. Yes.

Jim:

Well, I I would wanna give it more context. Like, if if you say include the the talking out of his ass joke, I would wanna have him he he does it. In in the first one, he did it because it was funny. Yeah. In this, I would have him do it in response to someone feeding him a line.

Jim:

Right? Like, someone's lying to him. Mhmm. And, like, oh, that's how this conversation is going. And he turned I I have someone you need to speak with.

Jim:

And he turns around.

T.C.:

You know what?

T.C.:

Yeah, just heard it.

T.C.:

You cut the scene there too, as soon as he bends over. Yeah, have Boom, to hard cut to him leaving like, well, that was rude. The guy he was talking to is storming out.

Jim:

I don't know. I think you need to give that payoff. We need to see the

T.C.:

top Okay, of okay. This is what you do. You say, oh, oh, we're gonna do lies? Is that how we're doing it now? Well, I have someone you should talk to.

T.C.:

Pants, bend over, cut scene to the guy leaving, like, oh, well, that was rude. Unbelievable. Getting into his car and then cut back in there and he's still doing it. That's right. And we're gonna go down and get some maple syrup, That's what we're gonna do.

T.C.:

That oh, oh, he left. No. Ace. Ace. He left.

T.C.:

I know. There it goes. So then you get it you subvert it by not showing it, and then you cut, and he's doing it anyway to no one.

Jim:

Alright. That

T.C.:

that can be There you Best of both worlds.

Fionn:

Or you just get, like, the first word of the sentence he's about to do and you cut away. No. He's like,

T.C.:

excuse me. And then I hate

Jim:

to butt in. Yeah. And

Fionn:

then you cut away right there. Yeah.

T.C.:

The The first one has the, I guess I'm gonna have to keep you up all night moment. You cut to him having just the most vicious sex on the bed with Courtney Cox and the animals are watching. In the second one, there's the joke about him taking the virginity of the princess. Right. So there is these are not clean comedies by any means.

T.C.:

No. And I and I I do think so, okay. You might do have something?

Jim:

Well, because if you're say if you're saying we have to have a a sex scene, a sex shot Let

T.C.:

me go ahead.

Jim:

Well We we've set it up that you you did you set the joke up so you think we're gonna cut away to Ace Ventura having sex, and instead we cut away

Fionn:

to California. Oh,

T.C.:

no. See, we're

Jim:

perfect. Taste the

T.C.:

No. It's perfect because you

Jim:

It shouldn't be, though. Like,

Fionn:

it needs to be I think the Venturas have a sex style, and that style is vigorous. That's why she needs the 39 year old yeah, beefcake.

T.C.:

You know? Makes sense. Up with your mom. You you did you did it. You nailed it because what I was gonna warn you about doing was is going too raunchy because that's another problem with Dumb and Dumber two, is that they went too raunchy.

T.C.:

They went away from the crass, inappropriate, adult humor of the original and went too far. I think that's perfect. You didn't go rated r. You didn't make it. You kept it contained in the absolute ridiculous humor.

T.C.:

Just imagine them re just bouncing the bed.

Fionn:

So here's a question about the butt talking.

T.C.:

Yeah.

Fionn:

Oh, please. Is is there another way to do this where instead of Ace Ventura doing it, it's his mom? Oh. Like, we see where he learned it.

T.C.:

I think maybe another hard cut kinda situation. Like

Fionn:

It it doesn't have to be in there.

T.C.:

I don't I I like the

Fionn:

video setup. That's really good.

Jim:

I don't

T.C.:

know if that joke would

Jim:

be one that he learned from his mom.

Fionn:

Okay.

Jim:

Learned it

T.C.:

from watching, man. I have never talked out of my rear end. Thank you.

Jim:

Yeah. But, like, the talking to animals Yeah. Is usually Yeah. Yeah. Usually portrayed pretty goofy.

Jim:

So if we see her doing that and that's where he learned it Mhmm. I think that would I mean, it's obviously not as funny as seeing Kathy Bates

T.C.:

Talk out of

Jim:

talk out of her ass. Right.

T.C.:

I yeah. I I say no. I'm gonna nix it, but I do like her communicating with the animals, like, very, very polite, like, very connected to them.

Jim:

Actually, it'd be kinda funny if, like, she just conversed with them like people

T.C.:

Mhmm.

Jim:

And and they responded in kind.

T.C.:

Oh, yeah. There's I think there's that

Jim:

Maybe or maybe that's actually, that that might that might be too never mind. That's not funny enough. In the first one funnier.

T.C.:

No. No. I I think there's a there's no need to, like, draw a whole lot of humor. Right? It's just a natural, like, a natural conversation with an animal.

T.C.:

Ace does it in the first one. He also does the who's that boo boo? Who's that

Jim:

boo boo?

T.C.:

Like, to the dog in the original one. Forgive you. Thank you very much for saying so. Ace, good to see. I had pancakes for you, but the caribou ate it.

T.C.:

Stupid caribou. Yep. Good. All right, cool. I mean, feel good about this.

T.C.:

I was a little rocky going up to the break there. I'm like, Have we exhausted our Ace Ventura ideas? But I think once we got that ball rolling here

Fionn:

Yeah, I like it. I like the storyline.

T.C.:

Was fun. Think the risk here is that it would do so well, obviously, that they'd want a fourth one and Jim Carrey would say no.

Fionn:

No, I think that's part of the contract. Needs Jim Carrey. I know that you're listening, and you probably don't like being called out like this because you want to keep your yourself, you know,

T.C.:

Neutral. Yeah. If he listens to our podcast, everyone's gonna expect him to listen

Jim:

to theirs.

Fionn:

Right. Exactly. But definitely throw a clause in there that this is the last one you're doing.

T.C.:

Only doing The last one

Fionn:

anyone can And also put a clause in there that these guys write it.

T.C.:

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Carey. So this is it. One and done.

T.C.:

It's in the contract. It's the Harrison Ford clause. He doesn't get killed. He just, This is it. I'm done.

T.C.:

Does he get the girl in the end? He got Courtney Cox at the end of the first one, but he didn't get it.

Fionn:

Did not get the princess

T.C.:

second Princess second one. They chased him into a freeze frame. And he's been there for twenty five years. Oh, God. Just hanging in the woods, beard girl.

T.C.:

No, no, that's it. That's the preview. The teaser trailer has nothing from the movie. Yes. It's just fourteen years ago.

T.C.:

When he's freeze frame, and then you do like a time lapse of his beard growing out, and he's like, I'm back, baby. Nice. Yeah. Jim's thinking over there. I hear the goofy.

Jim:

To to answer the question, I'm I'm thinking no. It might actually be funny if the whole time he is flirting with her

T.C.:

Mhmm.

Jim:

Trying to start something, and it seems like it's going somewhere. Yeah. And then at the end when it when it just it it it comes down to brass tacks and it's just, hey. Is this happening? And she's like, oh, what what?

Jim:

Was something oh, no.

T.C.:

No. No. No. No. No.

T.C.:

Alright.

Fionn:

I can

T.C.:

can you they're too polite?

Jim:

Oh, no. Thank you. No.

T.C.:

She just keeps going, and the credits start rolling, and she's just, no. No. No. No.

Fionn:

No. You.

T.C.:

No. Thank But no. No. Not No. I get it.

Jim:

I get it. Alright. Alright. Yeah. That's No.

Jim:

A little

T.C.:

bit of torture humor to end the movie.

Fionn:

No. No.

T.C.:

So he doesn't get the girl. That's fine.

Fionn:

Yeah.

T.C.:

But does he have okay, so if we're are we doing a walking off into the sunset moment? If we're diff we need if Jim Carrey's agreed to do this, if it's the only one he has to do, do we give Ace a farewell? Is there some sort of last crusade walking in the sunset situation?

Fionn:

He rides the caribou into the mountains of into the forests of Canada.

T.C.:

That's it. He just just I I I now that I've embraced my Canadianism, I need to

Fionn:

He's gotta explore that.

T.C.:

Yeah. And he walks off into the then and then it's then the the walrus chases him back up. I changed my mind. I'm going back to Miami.

Jim:

Because I I I think the the Ace Ventura's end it it's not I I in in my mind, it's not an actual end. He's not done being a pet detective. Mhmm. But this is the last grand story we're gonna see Yeah. Of him because it's it's the the biggest one.

Jim:

He he he has he's gone up against global warming. Right? It's

Fionn:

Is it still global warming? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

The the the climate change. Yeah.

Fionn:

The thing. Yeah. Yeah.

T.C.:

So interestingly, Ace Ventura When Nature Calls was directed by Steve Odekirk from kung kung pao. Yeah. He wrote Kung Pow, directed starred in Kung Pow. He directed Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. The first one, however, was directed by I'm looking, Tom Shadyak.

T.C.:

Who? I don't know who Tom Shadyak is. He's also directed Dragonfly and The Nutty Professor.

Jim:

So we did this Good for him.

T.C.:

We did this with he made movies. Good for him. We did this with Cannonball Run, and I think it helped solidify everything else we needed here. This is a bad idea, studio. Jim Carrey doesn't want to do this.

T.C.:

On paper, if I if I saw an answer for this, I'd be like, Really? You're going back to the well on this? It's too late. It's fourteen years later. This is a bad idea.

Fionn:

Twenty four years later.

T.C.:

Twenty four years later. I'm sorry. I'm bad at math.

Jim:

Okay, guys. Who's the

T.C.:

jerks now? If there's anyone who can take an idea that should not work and pull it off in a comedic fashion, Lego Movie, 21, cloudy with a chance of meatballs, you get Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Fionn:

Oh, nice.

T.C.:

Now granted, they would write it more out of the picture, but that's fine. And I say that because I was thinking, how do you send them off into the sunset? Did you guys see 22 Jump Street?

Jim:

Nope.

T.C.:

Nope. In order to guarantee they wouldn't have to make another one, the closing credits of 22 Jump Streets shows 23, '24, '25, '26, and they just keep making trailers for every single 20 other Jump Street to like x x twenty one twenty one Jump Street. Like, they show like 30 sequels of what would happen in the franchise so they wouldn't have to make another one.

Fionn:

Nice.

T.C.:

So maybe there's an opportunity in the credits to show clips of Ace's other adventures. It's like

Jim:

Oh, sure.

T.C.:

You know, just to get it out of any other jokes, any other scenarios that might get thrown in there. I'm not saying rip off the trailers idea that they do for 22 Jump Street, but to have Ace's other experiences.

Fionn:

Maybe just like it ends with him sitting down with his mom and they're going through an old photo album and that's the

T.C.:
