3 Bizarre Scenes In Otherwise Good Movies - Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder (Kingsmen, Ghostbusters)

(digital tones)

(beatbox beats)

- Hello internet.

I am Danny Joey Nicky O'Beat.

And welcome to another episode of Obsessive

Pop Culture Disorder,

the show that, if you're watching this

in the way way distant future,

and most records have been lost in some kind

of horrible catastrophe,

is the most popular show of all time.

It was Beyonce's favorite.

It healed the nation.

I'm what the bible is based on.

And today's record setting episode explores.

(beatbox drumroll)

Few movies pop out of the womb fully formed.

It's rare for a movie to start with a clear idea

in a person's head and then have

that idea translated perfectly.

There are script rewrites, studio notes, reshoots

and actor demands that go into every film.

The movie you end up seeing is often

a hodgepodge of different ideas that have come together

at different points of the movie making process.

And sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

As a result, we get some pretty (bleep) scenes

in some pretty decent movies.

And I'm gonna

talk about them now.

I hate doing intros to this.

People already know what the episode is about

based on the title that they clicked on.

Why do we insist on doing this?

Title card.

(beatbox beats)

Ghostbusters is a near perfect movie about ghosts,

busters and Bill Murray being great.

- I've always wanted to do this.

And

(dishes shattering)

The flowers are still standing.

- It's one of the amazing classic comedies

that's going to be studied for years to come.

And the plot is pretty straightforward.

Ghosts are real, some scientists saw this coming,

and built some ghost entrapment and containment devices

to keep everyone safe, because ghosts are bad.

The relationship between man and the ghost in this movie

is not nuanced.

Something happens when people die that makes them evil.

They become ghosts and ghosts are bad

and need to be busted.

Then in a fun montage about ghost busting, this happens.

(seductive trippy music)

(groans)

(laughs)

Busting makes you feel good, indeed.

That's Dan Aykroyd's Ray Stanz

dressed kind of like Napoleon, I guess, getting a blow job

from a ghost in what may be a dream.

I have a thousand questions.

And the first 900 of them are no

with a question mark on them at the end of them,

because no, don't do that in your awesome

Ghostbuster movie.

This subplot involves Ray and Winston going to a fort

that was allegedly haunted.

In this fort, Ray finds an old officer's uniform,

which he puts on, sure.

And then he falls asleep.

And then a ghost sucks his dick for real,

because if you're a man in a writer's room

working on a movie, eventually you'll raise your hand

and say, what if blank sucked my dick in this scene?

It's just a thing that happens.

I've been in a lot of writer's rooms.

I've no doubt that while working on the Ghost

and the Darkness, Val Kilmer softly pitched,

what if one of the lions is suddenly friendly

and like, blows me 110%?

And then after, I'm like, we can't, and she purrs at me.

But you're so good at getting your dick sucked

and I'm like, I know, but we can't.

It's man's favorite idea for a thing to happen in a movie.

Guarantee you, that happened behind the scenes

of the Ghost and Darkness movie.

This show is accessible.

Anyway, all that stuff I said about

the Ghostbusters going to a haunted fort was cut,

but the blow job sequence stayed,

now reimagined as a dream sequence because if they cut it,

the audience might leave the theater thinking,

but can ghosts blow people in dreams or what,

why wasn't that addressed?

And Akyroyd couldn't live with himself

without resolving that issue.

So the scene, for no clear reason, was kept.

Ray has a dream that he's dressed as Napoleon in a fort,

and the ghost blows him, and it's so great,

he crosses his eyes and falls asleep in the dream.

Nobody watching that movie would have known

about the behind the scenes subplot,

so the scene doesn't belong in this or any movie.

But Akyroyd wanted to keep it in,

saying, "The ghost in the fort, the seduction ghost,

in paranormal research, that's a common thing.

Ghosts doing sexual things to people.

I have a friend who had three women visit him

in a haunted house in Louisiana and it was

one of the greatest nights of his life.

But in under two hours,

you obviously can't have everything."

Yeah, obviously you can't have everything.

Dan Akyroyd believes ghosts are real,

and that a few of them (bleep) the (bleep)

out of his buddy, a liar.

And if his Ghostbuster movie were a little big longer,

he could've included all of this information.

That's the amazing sort of adorable part of all this.

Akyroyd wanted to involve a scene involving ghosts

seducing people in haunted houses,

because he believes there is historical precedent

for that kind of thing.

But when told that there wasn't enough room

in his movie for a clear subplot explaining this,

he compromised with uh, fine,

but we're keeping the blow job scene.

No context, but people will understand.

As a representative of the people,

we do not.

(beatbox beats)

Kingsman horny butt sex princess?

Did my title card operator have a stroke,

or is someone making entry titles

based on a random drawing of five cards

against humanity white cards.

Do we want to maybe try that again?

(beatbox beats)

Alright, fine, I know when I'm beaten.

Kingsman, the Secret Service is a fun,

gratuitously violent action-packed movie

based on a comic book.

It's one of those 'nuff said movies.

A movie that is kinda cool,

but when people try to sell you on it,

they resort to just excitedly listing the bizarre

ridiculous and outside of the box

elements contained therein.

So, if you ask someone why you should watch

Kingsman, they'd say, there's a lady with swords for legs,

the president's head explodes,

Samuel L. Jackson plays a tech billionaire villain

with a lisp for no reason.

- Seriously, it's fine.

- And Colin Firth does a beautifully choreographed

murder dance through a church.

'Nuff said.

I generally hate 'nuff said movies,

but the charm, acting and story of Kingsman

really worked for me.

It's a fun, dumb movie with cool characters

and briefly, Mark Hamill.

- Am I meant to find that reassuring?

- 'Nuff said.

- All of it is pretty good.

And then there's this scene.

(metal clanking)

- Aren't you that princess that went missing?

- Can you get me out?

- Well if I do, will you give me a kiss?

I've always wanted to kiss a princess.

- If you get me out right now,

I'll give you more than just a kiss.

- If you haven't seen the movie,

that guy in the glasses is our hero,

a kind-hearted British street punk

who is recruited for an even more secret version

of the secret service.

The woman in prison is a princess

who was captured because she didn't go along

with Samuel L. Jackson's evil plan

of blowing up the stupid and poor people of the world

in an effort to reduce the population

and address climate change.

It's a weird movie.

Here is a sweet boy trying to help and do the right thing.

She is a princess who chiefly has been notable

for being one of the few people in power

willing to stand up to Sam Jackson,

which is why she's in prison.

This is the first time they've met,

and he would rescue her,

but he has to go save the world first.

And he tells her.

- Sorry love, gotta save the world.

- If you save the world,

we can do it in the asshole.

- I'll be right back.

(dramatic music)

- Everything about this is weird.

But weirder still is that our guy saves the world,

and then she immediately makes good on her promise.

(romantic music)

- You owe me Eggsy.

(door closes)

Eggsy?

- She is a legitimate princess who has been missing

for quite some time, and has an entire country

to preside over.

She's got family that's missing her,

she's got a country that's probably freaking out.

And even if she were royalty,

she's a kidnapped person who has been held captive

by a maniac and his sword-legged bodyguard.

That is not a situation that immediately

lends itself to horniness.

You need to get home, see your family, see a doctor.

And you, Eggsy, our hero boy,

you just killed a bunch of people

indirectly, including the last cool president

of the United States.

You also shouldn't be thinking about anal sex right now.

It's a weird bonkers non tonal fit for this movie.

Also, I hate hate hate using this stupid ass show

to make any kind of point,

but we shouldn't be perpetuating the idea

of sex as a reward.

The movie takes the sex as a reward idea

to its most extreme point.

If you save the world, an undeniable good dead,

you will get anal sex with a princess,

an undeniable rare sexual event for at least two reasons.

The height of the circumstances,

the ridiculousness of it makes it easy

for us to brush it off.

You save the world from a McDonald's loving

Samuel L. Jackson, of course, means you get to have anal sex

with a beautiful princess.

This movie's wacky.

But if you can consider the sentiment behind it,

it can only be insidious.

World saving and princess butt sex

is the extreme end of a spectrum,

but if you zoom in on it,

it becomes guy did something heroic

and gets repaid with sex.

And zoom in even further and it becomes,

guys who do good things are owed a sex treat,

and that is exactly the type of toxic lesson

that we can't still be teaching in whatever year this is.

It's not enough that he should save the world

because he saves the world.

It's not enough that he should save the world

because it's the right thing to do.

He needs to also get special birthday sex

from a princess?

We shouldn't be conflating sex with reward / payment

in movies in general.

But we also don't need it in Kingsman,

a movie where we didn't need any additional motivation

to have our humble, poor British punk

taking down an insane rich technocrat.

(groans)

I hate how self important we got.

Do we have any dumb entries I can look to?

(beatbox beats)

That feels pretty unimportant.

Let's get into it.

Adam Sandler who can do, whatever he wants,

remade a prison football movie, The Longest Yard.

And it was mostly stupid.

It was about some prisoners playing football

against their prison guards,

and is a pretty fine but forgettable movie.

Sandler partners with old hat Burt Reynolds

and cool insider Chris Rock,

while organizing their football games.

And then, Chris Rock brutally burns alive.

What?

What?

(twangy country music)

- How do he listen to that cracker shit?

(explosion)

(dramatic music)

- This has no impact on anything.

It's just a weird gross scene

in a movie that otherwise was

about a bunch of people playing football together.

It's not a serious movie.

It's not about the justice system.

It never positions itself as an important movie,

and yet, suddenly, let's watch Chris Rock

burn alive for no reason.

(explosion)

That's (bleep) dark.

I know I spent a bunch of time on the first two entries,

and this feels kind of short changed,

but dude burned alive, right?

It's a forgettable Adam Sandler movie

and there was a brutal fire death scene.

That didn't happen to Mr. Deeds or Big Daddy

or Wedding Singer.

Probably it was just like let's burn this guy

in this one movie.

That's (bleep) up.

Anyway, join us next time

when our topic will be Daniel leaves

writing the final tag joke for the last possible minute,

and this time didn't feel like working on it,

because it doesn't actually matter.

It actually hurst our channel if we stick around

reading meaningless content,

because the audience is more discerning and selective

about their time.

Okay, sounds good.

Sounds like a meaty episode.

Can't wait to sink my teeth.

Bye.
