Rebooted
Four film majors finally put their degrees to good use. Join us as we dive into revived cult classics, modern missteps, and live-action cash grabs in an attempt to tackle the single most important question in modern cinema: Did that really need to be REBOOTED?
Rebooted
Garfield
How does Chris Pratt stack up against Garfield's iconic lazy persona? Our discussion heats up as we argue whether Nick Offerman would have been a better fit for the voice role. From the buddy dynamic of Garfield and Odie’s original film to the father-son reunion theme of the reboot, we evaluate which plot resonates more and share our mixed feelings about watching the movie with kids. Plus, we reminisce about the charm of actors like Hannah Waddington and Brett Goldstein, and critique the quality of the CGI rendering.
Lastly, we take a nostalgic journey through Garfield's rich history, from plush toys and comic strips to Sunday comics and the 1988 TV series. We touch on fascinating trivia, like the Easter egg of Garfield's comic strip debut date, and chuckle over the peculiar 90s trend of cartoon characters on car windows. As we wrap up, we share our excitement for a slew of upcoming movies and shows, including the much-anticipated Deadpool 4, Dog Man, and the Atlas series on Netflix. Don’t miss out on our lively debate and hearty laughs in this episode!Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Jessica:Come to the place where fun never ends. Come on in. It's time to party with Garfield and friends wow core memory unlocked yeah, well, I clearly just has that memorized by reading it slowly, I could have done the whole thing.
Mike:I could have forgot about that like theme song until you started singing it and it was like you know, it was like something went off in my head.
Andrew:It was like I am she more spoken, worded it let's. Let's be honest, she's spoken off of wikipedia listen, whatever the point remains I could still sing the beginning part, not the whole thing.
Jessica:I can sing a lot of it though we have some exciting news and developments.

Rob:And you also host it.
Jessica:Our hostess, our little Debbie. Hostess Jess Garfield, odie Lasagna, mondays, there you go All right.
Andrew:Well, jumping into our differences in the reboot, we're going to go ahead and keep kicking off this new format here for season three, and so I want to talk a little bit about the protagonist and the antagonist here in the reboot. So in this in the reboot in the Garfield movie 2024, here we added Vic and his former partner Jinx, to the film. Jinx is the primary antagonist which sets up the main conflict for the movie, which is, of course say it with me, mike, the milk ice, yeah, uh, which is, let's be honest, the best kind of ice you could possibly have.
Mike:well, I don't know. I would rather get the cheese, but I mean well, I mean, the milk makes the cheese like.
Andrew:you can't go into the cheese plant and the cheese stands alone.
Mike:Yeah, except it does.
Jessica:You can't go in the pine cone.
Andrew:That's true, alright. So how did adding this mission and or goal, so to speak, to the movie help drive the subplot of Garfield meeting his dad, and do you think it worked? Or was there just another way they should have went with the meeting with his father? Or was this just another way they should have went with the meeting with his father, or was?
Rob:this, just you know, a typical fetch quest in Fallout it was definitely a fetch quest.
Andrew:Yeah, like is his dad even in any other Garfield media? I don't think so. I actually was looking in the trivia to see if they were pulling this story from somewhere and I didn't see anywhere where it was mentioned his dad in any way shape or form.
Mike:Yeah, I think they just went with it Cause I mean, it's like the Garth the new movie is. It's like very much a kid's movie and I feel like this is like pretty much a you could do like a whole podcast of along the lines of sci-fi camp with kids movie tropes, and I feel like this like estranged parent who's really not as bad as the kid thinks they are, and kind of gaming moment at the end, like this is like textbook, like modern kids storyline, like it. Just it's low-hanging fruit, it's familiar, it's, you know, there's relatively low stakes, you know, and it's just it. It works.
Andrew:It works well for a movie targeting, you know, young children right, which I think and that was actually something I mentioned to jess when we left the theater was yeah, I found it like I think the reason why and spoiler here did not care for this remake or this reboot. I think the reason why, though, was because there was no part of it that was meant for adults. Like you know, like a lot of kids movies, like dreamworks movies or pixar movies or whatever, a lot of times they have like adult only jokes, you know, like things that go over the kids heads, but the adults find funny. I couldn't think of one in this movie I, there were, there were a few.
Mike:There were a few very like subtle things. Especially there was one towards the end of the movie where he's like walking across the street or actually I think it was the beginning. He's walking across the street, it's like a two-lane road and cars keep keep stopping as he walks through, but then there's like a point where two cars going up is a direction stop in the same lanes, like that would have been a head-on collision that made Andrew so mad it made him very angry well, yeah, but that's not like a, that's like an adult joke.
Andrew:I mean, that was just like a visual gag, I guess you know, yeah, or just a failure of animation.
Mike:They just put the guys in the scene. I don't know, maybe my inner child wants to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Rob:Speaking of tropes, I spent the entire movie waiting for them. To say that Jinx was Garfield's mom Was too Right, because it's like, oh, they have this dramatic history, there's all this drama, and I'm like just waiting on the end scene where they're up on top of the train for her to be like and I'm your mom, and he'll be like oh no, oh no, I'm Chris Pratt.
Mike:Possibly with his paw covered in spaghetti lasagna sauce, so it looks like it was cut off.
Rob:It didn't happen, it never happened.
Mike:So there's still a mystery.
Rob:I did, I saw what you did. There there's still the mystery of Garfield's mom.
Jessica:Yeah, that'll be in the sequel. I don't think they wanted to touch on cat procreation.
Andrew:in this it was again very kid oriented.
Jessica:They had a father who was trying to provide for his son when they were starving and he had to leave his, abandon, his son, to find food. I mean, that's not exactly the happy go lucky part of the movie.
Mike:Somehow, I think parents I mean Bambi got Bambi's mom gets shot in the first like 10 minutes of the movie.
Andrew:Somehow I think parents I mean bambi got bambi's mom gets shot in the first like 10 minutes of the movie. Somehow I think parents are okay with the child abandonment, more so than cat on cat sex in the movie just show it I'm just saying, you know, I think all they had to say was that that was the mom.
Rob:They didn't have to like what the hell?
Andrew:giant sensor bar across the screen so I was just getting it ready for Nana Rogers and Mike.
Mike:That's all you guys are ridiculous his mom's 12 nipples oh wow, nana.
Andrew:Rogers definitely taking him to see that look at him.
Jessica:There's 12 boobies. Oh man, how I mean. I know this was our first episode, but how did we not talk about Nana Rogers and the three boobed woman in Total Recall?
Andrew:should have came around, then we should, we should reboot that episode.
Rob:I think that was before, before the bit became legend wasn't even here yet.
Jessica:I mean, the bit came from titanic.
Andrew:So, yeah, okay, so, uh. The other thing I want to talk to you guys about, though, as long as we're deep in the nana, rogers slash, garfield slash, whatever's happening here story, I want to talk a little bit on the central conflict, the. You know the plot, as it's clearly the biggest difference, as in, you know, most reboots actually, um, and I think the interesting thing here is that we're taking, you know, the entire width of the of the garfield franchise, both the newspaper syndication, the cartoon from the 80s and 90s, the bill murray movie, the bill murray sequel, the, or squeakwell, if you will, um, wait, that wasn't that, uh but what do you think?
Andrew:about the plot choices, I mean, and you would talk about this really for both movies, because the first one was kind of a buddy movie. Second one was kind of like the kid finding a strange daddy, but not really as strange, like Mike said, you know. So I'm curious. You know the first movie dealt with, you know, horny John picking up Odie, and then Odie is a tale as old as time, with the father and son you reuniting and finding out that he really was scratching a tree the whole time. What do you guys think?
Jessica:uh, you know, the original one I think is actually better plot wise, like I mean him, and like it was basically an odie garfield movie, which I think makes a lot more sense than, but I think you know, as a kid's movie. The new one had a better execution because I mean, let's be real here, this movie was not for us. The new one, this was for our kids.
Mike:I'm saying if we liked or not doesn't matter, because it was not for us although sitting next to a six and a half year old just cackling the entire time, especially when he is like ping-ponging back and forth, like over the train, like you mean the worst scene in the movie but there's yeah okay, but like this is.
Mike:I know I am the cynical old man in all things, but you are absolutely the cynical old man when it comes to animation and I feel like maybe your perception of the experience of watching this movie with your child is skewed by that you know limited crotchetiness of you because it is like there's something fun about watching a kid's movie with the kids that it's targeting, like it's just like it. It's like that episode, it's like that episode of of of bluey where, like they're trying to find uh coco in the pharmacy and at the very end, like all the kids are dancing on the screen and the bandit looks up and he's like kind of like just like smiles a little bit and kind of starts like loosely dancing with him.
Jessica:It's like when the kids are having fun, it brings out the fun for you I thought you were gonna say with the uh, the one where they're at the movie theater and he's like, oh man, they're songs that is also the one that I think of when I think of andrew at a kid's movie.
Andrew:Oh the singing that was what I said when we went to see wonka and I sat down and I opened right away with a song and I was like you mean when you went to see wonka with jake and didn't invite me and we cuddled in the front seat. He actually said to me today. He said something about when he went to go see wonka. I was like you didn't see that.
Jessica:Oh wait, you did see that me, and we cuddled in the front seat. He actually said to me today. He said something about when he went to go see wonka. I was like you didn't see that.
Mike:Oh wait, you did see that the thing that stands out for me is that I think, like there's so much of like who garfield is as a character from like the comic and from the cartoon, and even you know bill murray playing garfield that, like chris pratt has has too much pep yeah, garfield, I agree, he's he's too, he's too playful and I and I, like I I know I said this in discord, but like, for the sake of you know the people actually listening.
Mike:Now I'll say like I feel like if you took this exact movie, like the new one changed nothing except replace Chris Pratt with Nick Offerman and it's immediately better. Because I feel like Ron Swanson, energy for Garfield is way better than Andy Duarte. Yeah, tell me, I'm wrong.
Jessica:I completely agree when you said that I was like that would have been perfect.
Andrew:So yeah, and I don't disagree with that, I think it would have been. It would have definitely fit the character of what you think of when you think of Garfield you know. Kind of based on that. I mean, the only Garfield I remember is this is the Garfield Friends show where you actually heard his voice, but in that he wasn't as like Ron Swanson deadpan, he was a little, but he wasn't like Andy Dwyer, like Chippy either. So like neither casting I I think would fit based on what I remember from that tv show, but that's also taking a very narrow slice of the garfield you know franchise and then using that as something to base on you just have this, like there's like the slacker energy, like lazy energy to him, but I just just, I don't.
Mike:I don't think Chris Pratt captures well.
Andrew:No.
Jessica:And I would say they should have just done Garfield without Garfield or whatever it's called, and just had the whole movie be John and Garfield and just John responding to Garfield, not actually saying anything.
Andrew:Well, it wasn't clear in this. Well, I guess it was pretty clear, but it was again. Again. It was kind of like so is garfield talking to john or not? Because garfield's spending credit card information. I guess they did in the movie convey that over the phone. They just heard the cats meowing. So I guess he did just hear garfield meowing.
Jessica:But apparently an app exists that you can talk, so why is not everybody doing that?
Andrew:Well, didn't Homer Simpson invent an app to figure out how babies were saying that?
Jessica:was his brother and we've had this conversation I'm pretty sure the last episode, right.
Rob:Getting it wrong, bringing it back.
Andrew:So, I will say one thing I was excited about with this movie, mike.
Andrew:There was something I was looking forward to that was uh, hannah waddington and brett goldstein being in it, just because I love ted lasso so much, and I will tell you they did not disappoint in their voice acting it was, it was good. I was hoping for some kind of Ted Lasso reference. I did appreciate Brett Goldstein making the joke that he was speaking in a British accent for Jinx's sake, but then his Brooklyn accent was terrible, so I'll give him that. But yeah, that was fun. I also did love I do got to call out to snoop dog showing up in it. Yes, that was pretty good. Um, I mean, I'll say they were on point with some of that kind of stuff. Some of their jokes like snoop dog showing up, and even even samuel jackson playing vic was pretty good.
Andrew:I think nicholas holt was a better john than breckin mayor and our uh murder robot has some comments about that later we'll get to. I was also, of course, very excited to see steven tablowski in the original bill murray movie. I mean, talk about, you know we had hannah and brett from ted lasso. Well, we had had Steven and Bill from Groundhog's Day. So I do like seeing these groupings together together.
Rob:Should have just had that on rebooted Groundhog's Day and.
Mike:I mean it can't be any worse than Palm Springs, right?
Andrew:Hey, Palm Springs at least had looping in it yeah.
Rob:All right. Well, it's a central, central conflict of Groundhog's Day is, of course, he hates Mondays. They hate the hatred for Ned Ryerson. So that's true.
Andrew:So I guess, antagonist. The 2004 Garfield movie, then is the reboot of Groundhog's Day. There you go, all right. Well, let's finalize this year with our points of nostalgia and let's get cracking on Garfield here, and let's just people the Garfield checklist for me hates mondays no, okay, yeah, say yes oh yes, I don't know what you want from me all right when I ask you for the garfield checklist, just be like yep, and then make a check noise when I okay, mark. So, jess, let's go ahead and get that Garfield checklist out.
Jessica:All right, got it right here. Yeah, let's do this.
Andrew:He hated Mondays. Check. He loved food. Check. He loved lasagna. Checkeroonie, he was lazy AF. Check, he was a dick to Odie Checkeroonie. And I don't understand the point of the cartoon check. All right, how about you guys? Did this movie check those proverbial garfield itches of yours, and if so, you should probably get that looked at. Um, but did they? Did you feel like they missed an opportunity to include any of like the characters from US Acres, especially given that they were on a farm, ass farm should have even been background characters exactly I that blew my mind that like none of the characters showed up?
Mike:it's not entirely true. None of them showed up.
Jessica:I was gonna say normal, but that was like two seconds and he didn't even say anything and I was very disappointed it doesn't matter, it counts.
Mike:That was absolutely, that was 100% Nermal and it was well done.
Jessica:And Nermal was awful in the Bill Murray one too.
Rob:He was a real cat.
Jessica:Cute, sweet, nermal, like in the cartoons slash comics.
Rob:I was very upset that was also weird because garfield was the only one animated, so he had all these other animals who just did the homeward bound, like talking, or the the dr doolittle, like lips moving on an animal thing, and it was very weird and the cgi was so bad with garfield.
Jessica:Anytime someone had to hold garfield you could see like the fur going through their arms and stuff. Really weird and like there was just so much gap between, like the arms and garfield.
Mike:It was so weird, it was so bad was it better or worse than the so clearly weightless Grogu in the early episodes of Mandalorian?
Jessica:I don't remember that.
Rob:But he was a prop.
Andrew:Jess says I will not, I do not remember that and I will not remember that. How dare you.
Rob:But Mike he was. I do not understand the question.
Jessica:I will not respond to it.
Rob:In those episodes he was a question I will not respond to it.
Mike:In those episodes he was a prop. That was the same kind of energy where it's like it calls attention to the production of it when you can see those edges. It's like the obvious green screen on the ABC drama and it just immediately pulls you out of that. Like obvious green screen on the you know, you know ABC drama and like it's just like immediately pulls you out of that like imaginary world when you're like, yeah, I can see how the sauce is made.
Rob:So I will say, as far as points of nostalgia, that I think this new film was made based on just the things that Andrew listed in the checklist. It was like I've never actually seen Garfield. But I'm going to give you a checklist and he's a tabby cat and that's what you have to go on and that's how they made. And they just set out to make like a fun kids cartoon but not really like match the energy of garfield yeah, which in that regard they succeeded at that mission, I think right, and I think the reason for that, though, is because they geared it only towards our children and not towards us at all.
Andrew:Really, there isn't really a nostalgia to be had, right? I mean, they know that. They know garfield, that he was a plush that's stuck on the side of a window, they know he loves lasagna and they know he's orange and a cat and he's lazy and hates mondays. That's cultural osmosis, right, but anything beyond that there, anything like from garfield and friends, or from the old sunday morning cartoon strips or whatever the newspaper, our kids don't know that, nor will they ever know that, or whatever. So to them they don't there's no nostalgia for them to have.
Andrew:We'd love to know what you guys think about this. You know what was your points of nostalgia, what is things that you guys thought about? The central conflict, or did you even watch the movie? I mean, I'm guessing for a lot of our listeners you didn't, but thank you for listening to this episode anyways. I know that a lot of times, people are not necessarily listening episodes they haven't seen, but we try, our, we're trying to add the summaries enough content that it's at least still interesting. So let us know. Uh, you can hit us up on our uh social media, so check the description. Uh, hit us up on our social media, so check the description. Hit us up on our social media thingies. There I'm clearly the old one in the group because that's what I call social media. So one area where both films captured.
Rob:One of our you know both films captured. One of our you know big items of pop culture is just the idea of the Garfield plush, like with the suction cups, like being splayed on on ours across the land. And so in both films Garfield bites it and he smacks into into a car windshield and he's all splayed out um, and it's just. It's just a fun little thing, you know. It's like, uh, it's Liz's truck in uh in the 2004, because Liz is in in that one played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, which fun piece of trivia was one of my high school pop culture celebrity crushes. So I was watching this movie going oh, like, but that couldn't, even even that couldn't keep me interested in watching this movie. I fell asleep twice, actually Were you a big Ghost Whisperer fan.
Rob:No, but Can't Hardly Wait is like one of those movies where it's just like oh yeah, well, that's a movie.
Andrew:I thought you were saying you couldn't hardly wait to see Ghost Whisperer.
Rob:No, it's that movie.
Andrew:Did you fall asleep because Jennifer Love Hewitt was in it and you were dreaming about her?
Rob:It was just that High school Rob. It was just that boring. It was just a very slowly paced movie, which is weird for an hour and 20 minute movie to be slowly paced.
Mike:I feel like that's like in character for Garfield, though Just very slowly paced, I guess.
Andrew:I can't, but you bring that up, rob, we didn't mention that, but I cannot believe this movie didn't even hit a cool 90.
Rob:And it couldn't even hold you. It could not hold me, it did not hold me tender like.
Rob:Jennifer Love Hewitt so anyway, there's those points of nostalgia. I guess, if we can go back to the points of nostalgia as well, like this idea of like Garfield being the plush which of all of the animated or comic strip characters he is the most plush like, so I guess he that really aligns for a physical merchandise for him to be a little plushy. But both times we are two for two on hitting cars and being flattened, so great job.
Andrew:You know, what I find interesting is that that even existed. The suction cup, plushie Garfield Like why, why was that a thing? It's like. It's like the Calvin peeing on something.
Jessica:I think it was slightly different. What is it with cartoons being on cars?
Andrew:in the 90s. I don't know Calvin peeing on something. I think they're slightly different. What?
Rob:is it with cartoons?
Andrew:being on cars in the 90s.
Rob:I don't know Also, garfield's like the laziest character, and so why would he be like hanging from a window? He'd be like no, I'm at home sleeping in bed, dreaming of lasagna.
Andrew:Maybe Beetle Bailey's on something. Do you guys remember the sunday cartoons where you had garfield, you had foxtrot, beetle bailey, hi lois? You know all these things. Family circus, family circus, with the little hash marks going around following the kids there's always like a prince caspian or something, or it was like this super detailed one with like novel, like panels, and you never read it. You're like that's too many words for a cartoon and I just, you just skip it.
Andrew:You're like no, it's like a, like a corn of thorns and roses or something I don't know um guitar.
Rob:It was the high art of the Sunday news clippings.
Andrew:I just remember those ones were there and I never like read them because there were too much words.
Mike:I don't remember that at all well listeners.
Andrew:If you know what I'm talking about, write it in to our social media that Rob will post yes, I'm gonna, if I can find it.
Rob:Yeah, wait social media.
Mike:It's already posted.
Jessica:That's kind of how social media works we'll go find it when Andrew was asking about the run length of the new one he goes is it a cool 90? And I said it's actually 104. I said it's 140. It's like this is 140 minutes. I was like no, it's an hour, it's so long.
Rob:I'm like so say cool 100 next time. Yeah, shout out. Shout out to back in the day when you'd read the back of the VHS cover to see how long the runtime was. That's right.
Mike:My kids were convinced that the movie was five and a half hours. When we walked out of it they said I can't believe it's still light out. We were in there for five and a half hours. I was like like, well, not quite.
Rob:Garfield extended edition yeah, directed by Peter Jackson yes yeah, okay.
Mike:So the first thing is when he gets left behind in that little like waste container at the beginning of the movie. There's a number on there. The number on there is the date of the movie. There's a number on there, um, and the number on there is the date of the very first garfield comic strip that was a nifty little subtle easter egg like the, like that pixar number that I can't remember what the actual number is 42. So it's not 42, I know that but that's.
Rob:That's the answer to all life's questions that's a different number.
Mike:And then the other thing that I thought was interesting was the 2004 movie with Mike, what's the number? Mike refuses to tell you the number. It didn't say the number it's not right there but it's there.
Andrew:It's the number but I'm not gonna tell you you're gonna have to go google it everyone you can guess the month. I gave you 12 chances. I'll give you 30 chances for the date, the year, about 6,000 you think Garfield could have existed 6,000 years ago? Yeah, they were drawing cats and porn back then.
Rob:I want to say that there's probably a comic strip out there where Garfield was in old ancient Egyptian pharaoh garb. For some reason I have this old memory stuck in here of them dressed up like pharaohs. That might have been from the cartoon, actually probably probably probably all right anyway, all right.
Andrew:6 1978 yeah um yeah, all right, mike, go ahead, give me another trivia yeah, I think we're gonna just keep it.
Mike:Let's just keep it um, yeah, so anyway, uh, the other piece of uh little tidbit here, um, that I will give you all of the information for, um, was that, uh, the 2004 movie with bill murray marks the first time that garfield uh like, talked, like, truly talked, like with his mouth moving on the screen. Like in most other cases, like in the comic strip, it was always like thought bubbles in the old cartoon. I know like, uh like. I've heard people refer to it as voiceover. I don't really feel like it was like true voiceover. It was almost like telekinetic communication because there was like dialogue that he was having with people, but his mouth didn't move right him and Odie always seemed to interact like know what each other were saying.
Andrew:Odie still just like licked and barked, but like knew what Garfield was saying to him but would do it like in response to the things that Garfield was saying.
Mike:So it was like this weird, like telepathic, you know.
Jessica:It's very C3PO and R2D2.
Andrew:Like how Snowy responds to Tintin.
Jessica:Something like that, Andrew you gotta have more broad pop culture references.
Andrew:Broad like the breadth of Europe, and we are in America. America Is Tintin more popular than the French president Is Tintin the dog I'm going to cut you off, mike, wait, listen, this is America.
Mike:I'm thinking of Mr Peabody and Sherman.
Rob:Yes, that's Mr Peabody and Sherman. Yes, that's Mr Peabody and Sherman. I just always assumed in the cartoon that they had the voiceover, but the lips didn't move. Just because that's how lazy Garfield was, like he just wouldn't even open his lips to talk, he just kind of minded because he couldn't take it.
Jessica:Because I remember sometimes they did understand Garfield, but sometimes they didn't, was weird yeah, well, it's like you were in the panels animals show
Mike:like I have memories of people like understand garfield, but other times they didn't understand him you're talking about like gags, like playing on the laziness and of garfield, and I think like that was one of the other things in the new movie. That was like a joke that I thought. That I thought was funny and I think kind of went mostly over my kid's head, was when they're climbing into that vent and like Vic, just like shimmies right up on in there and is like cruising on down the vent and Garfield gets stuck there's, like well, how did you get in here? Like you're small, you're bigger than I am, am I? It was just like a very subtle like play on. You know, garfield as the lazy fat cat that I thought was just.
Jessica:I don't know, I laughed at that, but you know, sometimes I'm a child, so in the movie you can see Garfield going across like the street and he goes past the music store that says Lorenzo's music, which is funny because the original voice actor for Garfield going across like the street and he goes past the music store that says Lorenzo's music, which is funny because the original voice actor for Garfield was named Lorenzo music not funny, but more cool his name.
Andrew:His last name was music apparently yeah, that tripped me up like five times when I was reading the trivia and writing the trivia, because I saw somewhere else his name was Lorenzo music and I was like wait, I thought that was the name of the company. Or when I was reading the trivia and writing the trivia, because I saw somewhere else his name was Lorenzo Music and I was like wait, I thought that was the name of the company or something. I was very confused, but no, apparently his name was Lorenzo, or is Lorenzo Music?
Mike:his middle name must be like Danger or something.
Jessica:Danger.
Andrew:Lorenzo Danger Music yeah.
Mike:I'd want to hang out with a dude named lorenzo danger music personally, like that feels. What do you want to know?
Jessica:um. So in hindsight, it's 2020. Bill murray said that he really wishes he would have said the line in the original movie dogs and cats living together mass hysteria, which is a famous line from Ghostbusters, but he did not think of it until after he had already been finished recording his lines.
Rob:How did no one else On that set say something to him like, hey, there's that one line. He was one of your most famous.
Jessica:Oh yeah, he would have been recording. He was on set, he was recording, he would have been recording. Well, no, no, no, he recorded from a boat while he was filming the Life Aquatic.
Mike:That's amazing yeah.
Jessica:Probably.
Rob:Which I mean that's pretty amazing acting to be to portray your voice that lazy while on a stimulant, you know, I think I say well on a boat he's probably like sitting there in a lawn chair not a lawn chair like in a deck chair with a cocktail in his hand.
Jessica:Cocktail in one hand, mike in the other he's like I'm just riding the wave.
Mike:Mike in the middle of the air listen, they're soft and comforting I think, I think she needs over over the head if only there was a pair of over the head headphones that belonged to her these don't belong to her.
Andrew:My dad put her name on them because she took them to school, because she broke the ones I gave her that were actually very expensive. Pebble Beach or whatever the fuck those are called. Turtle Beach, turtle Beach, yeah, your mom beach. Bum, bum, bum bum, as they say. Opinions are like anchovies. You only like them if you're Italian or a crazy person, mike our resident Italian.
Mike:You're up first. Ooh, all right. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I liked the new movie.
Mike:I liked it, I enjoyed it, I had fun, like you, know, am I glad that I brought my kids to go see it and didn't go see it by myself? Yeah, absolutely. It would have been weird if an you know late 30s man was sitting in this theater by himself watching what is decidedly a kid's movie. Um, but I, I liked it and I would, you know, I would watch it. You know, I don't. I don't feel like I wasted my money on it. I'm happy with it.
Rob:I'd say, if you were going to do that, you should have worn a Garfield onesie you just go full on weirdo.
Andrew:That would have been worse. That would have been way worse.
Rob:He's got to lean into the weirdo, just go all the way in to the weirdo.
Mike:I don't think I, out of all of us here, I don't think I need to lean into the weirdo. Listen, I don't think. I don't think I have any. Out of all of us here, I don't think I need to lean into the weirdo any more than I already have. I feel like the world can only handle so much of that. But yeah, I know, and then, like the Bill Murray one, I feel like Bill Murray is such like a perfect choice for the Garfield character, like it's just like it's a shame that like the rest of the movie wasn't like up to par with that perfection, like that's, that's kind of.
Andrew:that's kind of where I'm at I see we're using the word perfection pretty loosey-goosey here.
Mike:Well, bill murray is a perfect cast for garfield. Like casting wise bill murray is perfect.
Andrew:All right, ok, rob, give me your opinions and rating.
Rob:You know I'm going to agree with Mike. I think that Bill Murray was a perfect casting for the voice of Garfield. It's it's very telling that he recorded all of his dialogue on a boat and was nowhere near the production of the actual movie, because I'm sure he would have been like, wow, I'm connected to a really boring movie. I fell asleep twice trying to watch this thing and it was an hour and 20 minutes. So that's kind of I would say kind of a feat in itself. Um, didn't enjoy it, it was very boring. Uh, and the 2024 movie I got to watch it with my kids and they really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it for the fun time that it was. I I wouldn't say it was necessarily a Garfield movie. Um, there were parts of it that paid homage to Garfield and that was kind of it. So I wouldn't say I enjoyed either of them really. I'll give the original to Jennifer Love Hewitt and I'll give the remake. Super Mario Brothers. One, just one. Super Mario Brother. There you go.
Jessica:Which one?
Rob:You only get one, and I'm not going to tell you which one. It is Luigi, it's Luigi, it's always Luigi.
Andrew:Alright, jess. What do you think of this movie?
Jessica:Both of those movies had a lot of problems, but for very different reasons. Like did you notice at the like when they're when they're running through the terminal at the train station? And she's just like holding? She's holding John's hand in one hand Jennifer Love Hewitt is and she's holding her jacket in the other. Like why did you bring your jacket? Why are you running around with it in your hand? And she had it the whole time until they left. Like why are you just? Why don't you leave it in the car?
Jessica:like why it's called fashion sweetie no, you don't hold a jacket for fashion. She had it like over her, like she had a jacket like through the whole movie, like she had it over her shoulders in that Richie McGee way that people do. But anyway, moving on, that was weird. And then in the remake he ordered 100 drones of pizza for zero reason. He didn't do anything with those 100 drones. They literally could have just gotten three, jumped on them and gone away to safety, but instead he was jumping across them to like John will never recover from this.
Andrew:Why didn't they just jump on them?
Rob:Why didn't they just jump on them and fly away?
Jessica:on them. What was the point? What was the reason? There was no reason, especially like it didn't do Having a hundred of them did nothing. What was?
Rob:the point Like that was the drama yeah.
Jessica:So they were both pretty terrible, but so I'm gonna say the better one was the 1988 television series yeah, I will actually agree with that.
Andrew:Just the better one was the 1988 television series, because that's the one I watched. Um, I did not enjoy either movie. Uh, I will just say it was difficult to watch them and I, I don't know, and here's the thing have not been, I'm not a big Garfield fan in general, like I was never, like that was never a cartoon strip I sought out, uh, on Sunday, more likes. It was no Foxtrot, so to speak, it was no Calvin and Hobbes. Um, so I don't have a lot of nostalgia for this property, which I guess makes it a little difficult as well. So I think my rating is going to be 12 on the scale. So I'll let you guys figure out what that one is, so litter. Anyways, I think I will say, of the voices I've heard Play Garfield, I like the one from the 1988.
Jessica:TV show the best Lorenzo music.
Andrew:Was that Lorenzo music?
Jessica:Yeah, so yes we had trivia about it.
Rob:Well, lorenzo, music yeah.
Andrew:So His name wasn't even Lorenzo. By the way, it was gerald david music. There you go, mike.
Rob:I just looked him up but his last name was still music yes yes, oh, kudos to him yeah, did a good job.
Andrew:Did a good job getting a last name.
Mike:So you know I always thought like that Norm McDonald sounded a lot like the original voice of Garfield well, the original voice of Garfield was a comic drawn in a newspaper like animated.
Rob:Whatever the first time you heard Garfield's voice, the first time we heard garfield's first time you heard his voice like I always thought norm mcdonald would be a good garfield too so did you know?
Andrew:by the way, garfield's first appearance was in a comic strip named john. The comic strip was named john and wait.
Jessica:Did you first say yawn, no, and then?
Andrew:and then nope, he says, he says hi my name is hi there, I'm john arbuckle, I'm a cartoonist and this is my cat, garfield. And then a rather scary looking garfield says hi there, I'm garfield, I'm a cat and this is my cartoonist, john. And that is where he came into being, but I didn't know that John Arbuckle was a cartoonist. Now we do there, you go there, you have it everyone. So, robert, you are our king of listeners. I am the king. What questions do we have today?
Rob:Well, welcome to the kingdom everyone. The bounty of horrible takes are upon you and we've already laid waste to them. But we have two great comments from listeners, one of which I don't know how to pronounce their name Jairo, jairo, jairo, jairo Our first listener, jairo. He comes in in. He has a comment, really a question, that he wanted to ask all of us. Uh, so we have this too, that we have the 2004 movie with bill murray. 2024, bill murray is still around. Why didn't they just bring back Bill Murray for the reboot? It would have been much better than Andy Dwyer, because Chris Pratt is top shit right now.
Jessica:I mean, I don't think Bill Murray wanted to do another one. He made that pretty clear in Zombieland. Yeah, I was just saying.
Andrew:I think the Zombieland comment lands that one. I'm sorry, Garfield.
Rob:It did get 16% on Rotten Tomatoes yeah.
Andrew:I mean it did make a lot of money. I mean it's a $50 million budget and they pulled in $203 million globally, which actually to kick that off to answer Hiro's question here by not answering his question.
Andrew:The first movie 2004 movie cost 500 million dollars to make. This new one cost 60 million. No, sorry, cost 50 million dollars to make. The new one cost 60 million dollars to make. As of the time of this recording, the 2004 gross 75 million in the us and the 2024 gross 78 million in the US and the 2024 grossed $78 million in the US. The 2004 did $203 million worldwide and the 2024 did $217 million worldwide. So it's very close in numbers I mean within billions, but still.
Mike:It's so weird, but I think the first one had the Bill Murray pull.
Andrew:I can't believe they're that close in money though. It's just crazy you know 2004 money though. That's true, that 2004 money. It's always so sneaky when Rob drops that in Rob's like hmm year money, year money.
Rob:20 years ago, year money, year money. You remember 20?
Andrew:years ago Year money, year money.
Jessica:You know who should have voiced Garfield?
Andrew:We're still on this.
Jessica:I just thought of it.
Rob:The ghost of.
Jessica:Norm.
Rob:Macdonald.
Andrew:Andrew Laura Dern.
Jessica:No, andrew Me, Not you. Andrew.
Mike:No, andrew Garfield, andrew Garfield me, not you andrew, no andrew garfield good times um actually the other one that I would have taken. I think like it took different kind of energy. Um I I still feel like nick offerman. Offerman is the best choice.
Jessica:I agree.
Mike:But and this is another case of Mike being terrible with acronyms Nick Miller from New Girl would also be a good choice. I think Nick Miller from New Girl would make a pretty solid Garfield as well.
Jessica:And then Schmidt could have been John.
Rob:The voice of Garfield should have been Ron Perlman. Mondays, mondays never change, mr Krabs.
Mike:Do you see what I did there? That was intentional.
Jessica:Just have Squidward be Garfield. Odie be Spongebob, liz be Sandy. Odie be Spongebob. Liz be Sandy.
Mike:Odie is Patrick and everybody knows it.
Andrew:Why.
Rob:Because Patrick's not Patrick. Okay.
Andrew:You know who would have made it interesting Garfield would have been the crotchety Hugh Laurie.
Jessica:American House, hugh Laurie.
Rob:Yeah, yeah, that sounds good, mm-hmm.
Mike:I actually think Andrew, like this Andrew the one next to me on the screen would make, would be a pretty good Garfield energy.
Rob:Moving right along to our second fan-submitted question is actually from Eric, who has been on the show before. So shout out to Eric, he's a pretty awesome dude. He has a two-part question for all of us. So first one what are your opinions on Mondays and describe your ideal lasagna, ooh, so.
Jessica:Well, I think the real question when it comes to lasagna is ricotta or cottage cheese.
Mike:Don't you effing dare.
Rob:Ricotta. Oh, it's ricotta, yes.
Jessica:Yeah, okay, cottage cheese, las it's ricotta. Yes.
Mike:Yeah.
Jessica:Cottage cheese lasagna is inedible.
Mike:Cottage cheese should not even be in the running as an option for lasagna.
Jessica:I didn't know lasagna was good, because I only ever had cottage cheese.
Mike:Don't you dare Andrew, don't you dare. No, you're wrong, stop it.
Andrew:No.
Mike:Cod cheese. Lasagna has its place and it's just fine, cod cheese has its place in the garbage.
Andrew:When you go to a church basement potluck and they have cod cheese lasagna, that's plenty fine, uh-uh.
Rob:It's the same people who put raisins in mac and cheese yeah. Or make oatmeal raisin cookies.
Mike:Those are delicious, it's the same people who put raisins in mac and cheese, yeah, or like make oatmeal raisin cookies.
Jessica:Those are delicious no, they trick you. You think that they're chocolate chip cookies, and then there's the raisins and you're disappointed.
Mike:How did cheese lasagna?
Rob:we didn't care about the movies at all, but we are arguing to the death about lasagna. Okay, oh, I can't. Even we didn't care about the movies at all but we are arguing to the death about lasagna.
Mike:Okay, oh, I can't even.
Rob:Okay, so there's an additional question here. The take is on Mondays what?
Mike:is your take on Mondays I like Mondays, that's when we record rebooted.
Jessica:Aw. That's true, I don't work a typical Monday through Friday job, so I don't really have weekends. So Mondays isn't really In my week. Sometimes I work, sometimes I don't. What's your take?
Mike:on olive garden lasagna I don't think I've ever had olive garden lasagna I always go with soup and salad and the old like olive garden like you, just you gotta.
Andrew:You gotta keep it simple at all at a place like olive garden olive garden lasagna just makes me sad, because the pieces have gotten smaller and smaller and smaller as I've gotten older and the price has gone up or I've just gotten bigger and they look smaller, but either way the, the.
Mike:The lasagna point that I want to go back to, though, is that the best lasagna is like all inside pieces. There's like I know it's like some people really like the crunchy edges of the pan that have been toasted absolutely hate, with a fiery passion, the crunchy edges of the pan yeah, but mike, somebody's got to eat that.
Rob:Yeah, that's fine, I will agree like that.
Mike:I want all inside pieces.
Andrew:I want no crunchy noodle on my lasagna that's why when they, when they have that ass-shaped pan where everything's on the edge, I'm like who is a psychopath who wants that?
Jessica:I do for brownies and cake.
Andrew:Negative. No, middle's the best. Yes.
Mike:I never want the crispy edge. When you make a pan of cinnamon rolls, you want the center cinnamon roll. I'll agree with that. You want the goo. When you make a pan of cinnamon rolls, you want the center cinnamon roll. True, I'll agree with that.
Andrew:You want the goo, you want it to be a little bit doughy, you want the center of everything. You never want the sides.
Rob:But cinnamon rolls have their own built-in center, but the outside of a cake has the more frosting.
Jessica:That's exactly why you don't want the outside, because the frosting is the worst part.
Rob:The frosting is the worst part of the cake. No, you got to surgically remove the frosting. I just feel like that. Andrew has, like I have money years. He has lasagna years. He's like man. 2004 lasagna was like just a tier compared to 2024 lasagna at Olive Garden.
Mike:My grandma makes a real good lasagna at Olive Garden. Yeah, my grandma makes a real good lasagna.
Andrew:Oh yeah, anna Rogers, does she use that real breast milk? Just kidding, I will say I agree, homemade lasagna is the best lasagna, it's just the best. It's so, so good and you get that middle piece and it's delicious and it's stacked high and it's full of all the stuff you love, and it's full of love cheese, right. So I mean perfect, perfect, right there also mondays?
Andrew:uh, I don't care, mondays are just another day. I mean, I like the Mondays that start the week where my payday is on that Friday. I like those Mondays better than the other Mondays.
Rob:Where there's no payday Right, just a desolate landscape.
Andrew:It's just a week in between. You know, I don't know Once a fortnight. I don't like that Monday, I guess.
Rob:so that's my answer alright. I want to know Andrew okay, so that is not really a hot take I want to know a legitimate hot take that you have alright, and now for our newest segment, the hot takes with a murder robot.
Andrew:So last episode, season one, season three, episode one, our good friend make three gam gave us a very hot take that rob got little red in the face reading and um, because he was so utterly shocked. But our good friend make three gam gave us another hot take on this movie. So it just seems like if she's going to keep running in, we're going to have some hot takes with a murder robot. So this week's how did breckin mayor get any work after clueless?
Jessica:I love clueless. I love clueless. Why can't mike respond?
Mike:he was also in canvas he was why can't Mike?
Rob:respond. He was also in Can't Hardly Wait with Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Jessica:There you go. He was like the theater kid. It has Paul Rudd in it in Clueless Come on, that's true.
Andrew:But what about Breckin Mayer? Was he good?
Jessica:in Clueless. I don't even remember who he was.
Mike:I don't even know who that is. That's probably why I can't respond. I'm like, did he play? Mr Krabs, he played.
Rob:Mario, don't worry, he was John Arbuckle in 2004.
Jessica:He played Mario.
Andrew:He played Mario. I meant John. He played Mario, he played Mario.
Rob:I mean John, mario, mario, you played Mario, I mean John.
Andrew:Mario, All right. Well, thank you for that hot take Murder Robot. We will catch you in the next episode.
Jessica:I like how you did. You even tell her that she's part of the show now.
Andrew:I mean, if she keeps writing in these hot takes, she's going to stay part of the show Yo yo. All right. Well, we'd like to take a moment to talk about our upcoming movies and things we're excited to see. We also want mike quickly check back and say what we thought about the movies we wanted to see. That's a hint hint. Tell us what you thought of furiosa kiddos. Uh so, mike, what do you got upcoming that you want to see?
Mike:well, at uh, at this point I'm still waiting on deadpool and it's gonna be amazing, it'll be out yeah, I uh. Yeah, at the point of recording this, deadpool is not out yet and I'm really looking forward to deadpool. I think it's going to be amazing. I saw something recently that deadpool has already been greenlit for a fourth movie, um, which I am absolutely thrilled about. If true, I love Deadpool and I love Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. I'm also really excited for Borderlands, because I remembered it this time.
Rob:That is saying something.
Mike:And since we're talking about kids' movies today, I'm also actually pretty excited. They're making a dog man movie. Um, and if you're not, if you're not familiar with dog man, it is a series of graphic novels for young children. That is really funny, really well like written lots of like subtle, like jokes that parents will get. The kids might not like a robot named 80 hd, um, and it's just like little things like that and they're they're turning it into a movie. It's very fun. It's the uh, the same guy does uh, captain underpants and uh, yeah, it's. I'm, I'm looking forward to that movie. I think my kids will love it and I think I will love watching it with them, much like I did Garfield. So, yeah, that's where I'm at.
Andrew:All right, perfect, rob. What do you got coming up Nice?
Rob:I'm interested, intrigued, by the Dune prequel series it's going to be coming out. That should be coming out on Max or HBO Max or whatever they're calling it now. Just want to see more Dune. I just want more Dune and I'll take it however I can get it. I know there's also an MMO Dune game coming out, but that one is like an Elseworlds kind of thing. The background on it is like if Paul Atreides never was born. It's like an alternate timeline Dune for the game. Both of those things I'm really interested in. That's it right now. But both of those things I'm really interested in, and then that's it right now. Did you end up?
Andrew:getting to see Furiosa Rob.
Rob:I did not. I haven't been able to see it yet. Well, we'll check back next week yes, jess.
Andrew:What about you? What are you looking forward to?
Jessica:so I'm looking forward to Stranger Things coming back soon-ish Final season, very excited about it. For movies so now there's this third movie called Maxine. It's the third in a franchise, maxine with triple X. But I haven't seen the previous two movies, but I've been wanting to see them. So since the new one's coming out, I'm going to put in X as the movie that I want to see, and then I like it Pearl, and then with Finn. Diesel no, it's an A24 movie.
Andrew:Okay, oh yeah, that's triple X, yeah.
Mike:Next scene with three X's Sounds like a movie that my grandma would enjoy.
Jessica:Oh.
Andrew:Yes, she would. Was that from Parks and Rec, brandy Max Alright and for me? I saw a trailer recently.
Mike:This podcast guys.
Andrew:She must be glad that she's popular.
Rob:We're covering a kids show, a kids show property and we're like this is the most unhinged we've been so I saw a trailer recently for a movie called Godzilla minus one apparently in Japanese and I guess it came out last year, but I really want to see it.
Andrew:I love kaiju movies. I mean they're like, they're like a guilty pleasure for me, so it's on netflix. Yeah, yeah, I think that's why I saw the trailers for it, and so I'm really excited to see it.
Rob:Um, should be good I think they're also releasing a black and white version.
Andrew:Yeah, yeah, the godzilla minus one, minus color, or whatever it is. Yeah, have you guys, it's like, it's like post-World War 2. Yeah, I don't know, because I haven't really seen it yet, so I look forward to that.
Mike:That reminds me. Have you guys seen any trailers or anything for Atlas on Netflix? Mm-mm. The movie is called Atlas. I shit you not. It is titanfall the movie.
Rob:It is titanfall as a movie and it's like the one with jennifer lopez in it.
Mike:Yes, oh yeah, I think that, yeah, and it like it is, it is, it is like it is everything that like. I don't think it's actually connected officially to the titanfall franchise, but I think, like the creative team behind it have very like openly admitted like, oh yeah, we were definitely inspired a little bit by titanfall. Like I think it is the closest thing that we're gonna get to titanfall 3, um, and it looks awesome wait, but atlas was a titan.
Mike:Yes, yes, like, yes, 100, yes, I think in this atlas is like the is the name of the pilot of the, the giant mech. Um, yeah, no, it's, it's like it like the like visually. If you could find it, if you could find the trailer. If you haven't seen it yet and you play titanfall, go look it up because like the aesthetics of the, of the, the max and like everything about it just screams titanfall, like I remember watching it. It came up like while laura and I were watching something on hulu and it was one of the like you know ads that we got stuck watching and it was like, and I'm sitting there on the couch going Laura, laura, laura, laura, it's Titanfall, it's Titanfall, it's Titanfall. She's like what the hell is Titanfall? I was like, just trust me, this is amazing.
Rob:And then it fuck is Titanfall. It's a. It's a first person shooter where you climb into a giant mech robot.
Mike:Yeah, titanfall is easily one of the like greatest first person shooters ever. Titanfall 2 especially. No, like seriously, no, seriously, hands down, no contest. Like Titanfall 2 is like no, no, no, I'm serious like Titanfall 2 is like no, no, no, no, I'm serious. Like Titanfall 2 is like I've played it, Mike.
Rob:That's why I'm going.
Mike:Peak first person shooter. It is so much fun. And maybe part of that is skewed by the fact that I was actually pretty good at it, which is not common for first person shooters, but still. Titanfall 2, one of my favorite games of all time.
Rob:It was made by the studio. It was the the guys who created the call duty 4 and modern warfare 2 okay then they broke off and formed a new studio and then that was the first game they made was tight what was it on?
Mike:I was it was cross platform, I think I played it on. I must have just missed it or xbox one no, no, you played with us yeah, I've never played this.
Andrew:I've never played this game?
Mike:no, you're, you're gaslighting him out a long time ago I've never played this game.
Andrew:Mike, you're thinking of pf chang?
Mike:probably no you probably should try it, though it's pretty cool I swear you played us like the the parkour mechanics, like the wall running mechanics. The thing that I loved about it is like you had what's called dying light.
Mike:No, you had very complex like it was before dying, like movement like mechanics and like grappling hooks and stuff that you could like zip around like the battlefield, but it was very like fluid, very tight controls, it was just. It was like it was all of the best things of every first person I think you lost me at parkour no, no, no he's like jumping puzzles, I'm out.
Rob:No, it's not jumping, I have when there's a jumping puzzle.
Andrew:I have to hand my remote to my wife and say, no, it's not. That's the thing.
Mike:But that's the thing that was really good about it is that it wasn't jumping puzzles. It was like very fluid, very natural. It was like you didn't really have to do a lot of that, like typical like jumping puzzle stuff. Oh know, it was all getting cut, but I'm trying to sell Andrew on Titanfall because it's fantastic.
Rob:It would be a fun game for you to try out. I think that's all he's saying, and you could probably get it for like nothing. It's actually probably on Game Pass now.
Andrew:I'm not paying for Game Pass anymore.
Rob:Oh, no, okay, All we've been playing is Helldivers.
Andrew:I paused it until we go back to the Xbox.
Rob:I don't know. I kind of want to go back to Fallout just because they added all that expansion. I don't want to go back to Fallout.
Andrew:I don't want to go back to State of Decay, I don't know. Anyways, merc, alright, well, thank you for joining us on this episode of Rebooted. We are, of course, your four former film majors trying to make sense of these hollywood remakes.

Jessica:Bill Maury.
Andrew:Alright, alright, mark.
Jessica:I got to put this on my ear.
Rob:I do like that. We the first 20 minutes of us just trying to get everything set up nothing. Then we start recording and it's like the gremlins come out to play.
Andrew:Close the door. I thought I was the mean one. The gremlins come out to pay. Close the door.
Rob:Close the door. Close the door. Two of you cowards.
Mike:I thought I was the mean one.
Andrew:I mean you still are. Yeah, okay, that's fair. So, rob, why don't you bang us off here with our first Pieces O trivia?
Mike:That is a really poor choice of phrasing there.
Rob:I think it was a great choice of phrasing, phrasing, phrasing.
Mike:He likes cottage cheese and lasagna. That's a hot take and it's wrong.
Rob:I was trying to segue you into the next segment.
Andrew:I don't like hot cheese on a cottage cheese, cottage cheese, cottage cheese, cottage cheese.
