The 2 Crew dust off a relic from the distant past of 2000 AD, a Flintstones prequel film starring none of the original actors! Will the magic of practical effects be enough to save this film, or is it as doomed as Fred and Wilma's marriage? Tune in and find out, Dum Dum!

FINALLY IT'S HERE

Mikel

The way I cackled when I saw this notification 😂

Del

Noo! I’m going to miss Emily on her extended leave!

Just1n76

Legendary mixed bag

wick

Ready to find out what the fuck this thumbnail is

Sharktopus Reckoning

Awesome episode! Too bad about Emily taking the rest of the year off, though:

Doctor Ransom

Surprised no one thought of Lava Vegas? I mean it’s right there!

aiyana graham art

I coincidentally just relistened to the Flintstones Christmas Carol episode last night!

Grass

This is so exciting because one of my earliest memories is a fever dream esque memory of this movie

Grass

Rip

Majuu

Oh? Where did we hear this? I haven't gotten the news 🫨

Adamantium

Casting my mixed bag vote for 1999’s Mystery Men. Not quite 2000 but fits the vibe

Mikel

Ryan could Rubble and Cumming could Klump

Josh Stadtmiller

Was that a chuckles reference from Murph saying "God's you were strong then"? Would love to find out they watch too

Unloved

Actually it was the end of the 20th century. Years 1-100 were the first century, so 1901- 2000 is the 20th.

Adam!!!!!

i could have sworn y'all already watched this on 8BBC because of how much y'all talk about the flintstones

Lia

94-99 were a wild time for animation to maybe also explain why this didn't do so well. I remember as a kid seeing: The Iron Giant (99) Anastasia (97) A Goofy Movie (95) Mulan (98) Hunchback of Notre Dame (96) Hell Space Jam (96) and the Pagemaster (94) were then too. I felt no connection to the Flintstones when seeing this movie come out. Y'all are right about the set designs they absolutely killed every bit of it for what limited info they were given.

Devin Awe

I love that on this DnD podcast, you've covered Viva Rock Vegas and not the new DnD movie.

Zanna

What is the Flintstones quiz/game that they're referring to??

Sam Francis

A previous mixed bag, I think last months. It's called biggest loreser

JustSomeKnob

Finally, the mixed bag we have been waiting years for

Ivy Stocking

Facts about the year of our lord, 2000: I was born and then my girlfriend was born five whole days later

Bam Bambi

This movie was absolutely for me as a kid. I loved it. For context my other two favorite movies were titanic and Bambi.

Queue

Why was gazoo so thicc tho

Hamerin

They should absolutely watch Flintstones on the Rocks. It tackles Fred and Wilma's dysfunctional marriage.

Grimmie

I posit this: Alan Cumming, canonic bisexual, played Gazoo because he understood the ~camp~ of it all. We stan a bisexual king.

Glue Wilson

Only women can't see gazoo

Suzanna DePeri

I really loved Emily’s 2000 recap — would totally listen to her do an investigative/exploratory podcast on history or culture or something

Jake de Medeiros

$80M USD in 1999 would be worth $150M in 2024

Rachel From Animorphs

I think Chuckles was doing an improvised parody of Game of Thrones! But still could be the case.

David Tatarczuk

Watch The Rock with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage

Azn

Reviewing this movie is like a mixed bag season finale

A$

Wait…we absolutely need to hear a review of Jim Carey’s the Grinch 😂 💚

joel

sincerely, emily is a really incisive cultural critic. that 2000s recap + that 50s snapshot put me in a mood

Cook

Emily’s recap was so beautiful I cried

Ian penman

Holy shit Emily, you frikin nailed my life in 2000

joel

damn I was playing number munchers and amazon trail on the fat mac in the library and pretending to like *NSYNC so I'd be The Bomb

joel

Definitely GOT original - in a previous Flintstones episode Murph says "Gods I was Fred then" and they're reviewed the GOT finale + made a King Robert can clump joke in a D&D court

Macauly Leiher

I used to catch the original John Goodman Movie at my baby sitters house growing up so when I turned 6 I wanted” the Flintstone movie” so bad. Yet I got this one, so this to me is the first one and then there is the way better illusive second one

Del

It’s a reference to the original d&d court where they kept talking about the Flintstones, and Emily kept saying she was going to take longer and longer time off.

jacob kessler

murph you have to take her phone man this happens every time

Anthony

Need a Grinch Mixed Bag immediately, can't believe y'all haven't seen the 2000's Grinch 😭

Alex H.

With all the jetsons/flintstones crossover discussion, I feel like you guys should watch it for a future mixed bag

Josh Stadtmiller

Ah would make sense. The 17,000 chuckles posts on TikTok are a lot fresher in my mind over GoT lol

Macauly Leiher

I made this for suprise Round but this is the best spot if any to comment it, You are standing in line for the newest flavor of ice cream at your favorite ice cream shop when suddenly Alec Baldwin enters and joins the line. Soon, the entire Baldwin extended family, including his brothers, fill the shop. Luckily, you got the last scoop of the exclusive fruity flavor before the crowd of Baldwins arrived. As you enjoy your ice cream, you stare in awe at the many celebrities under one roof. However, you notice that Stephen Baldwin is dressed in full Barney Rubble attire. From when he was in Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas. The rest of the family seems unfazed, so you assume it’s a bit. All 25 Baldwins order their ice cream, but when Stephen goes up, he asks for the exclusive flavor and is told that you got the last scoop. Stephen approaches you and says, “Hee hee hee, that sure looks good, Fred.” You brush him off and apologize for getting the last of it. He walks away, seemingly done. Throughout the night, Stephen keeps approaching you in various hair-brained costumes, trying to con you out of your ice cream, as if this where a Fruity Pebbles Commercial. Eventually, his antics cause you to drop your ice cream, ruining your favorite shirt. This is when the Baldwin family notices and accuses you of messing with "Barney" (note they don’t call him Stephen). Do you confront the Baldwins or do you let Stephen continue to ruin your night because they have your car blocked in.

FlanMan

Confirmed. The Octopus was Rosie O'Donnell

Annie

The year is 2000. You are 38 years old and grew up watching the Flintstones. You loved that show. Last year you drove through the badlands in a rented RV with your wife and young children, and took them to a Flintstones themed campground and bought everyone t-shirts. You're checking the newspaper to see what family friendly movie is playing in the theatre this weekend when you see it. My god do you see it. The long awaited Flintstones prequel: Viva Rock Vegas. You are my dad. You will eventually also purchase this movie on VHS.

Unfitmoviebuff

Never tapped anything so fast on your feed!

Skyler G.

YES YES YES A GREAT DAY

Kori

Cumming can Klump!!

Evan

You can tell Murph has been carrying Gazoo based rage within him his whole life

Evan

Also 2000 Movie Club is a good idea. Could set the period as anything that hit theaters after the turn of the millennium but before 9/11

Evil Grimace

With all of the Grinch talk, if there isn't at least a Grinch-themed One shot where the Trinyvale Triplets save (or ruin) Christmas I am going to vomit.

Evil Grimace

There must've been someone at Hanna Barbera who really liked the small obnoxious characters because I feel like they did the same thing with introducing Scrappy-Doo.

Chuck Mangione's Horn

The song by Frank Zappa is Cosmik Debris where he says, “…and the dust of the grand wazoo”!!!

Joshua Thomas

I hate that my brain will retain the phrase "Fred flags"

Michael Singer

This the type of shit I’d pay monthly for

Jolly Bee Happy

I always under estimate how much I love these! Thanks!

Nova

you goons got the freakin flintstones theme song stuck in my head dammit

Ray Matford

This is the type of shit we DO pay monthly for!

Dippity_Dip

OH MY GOD PLS IM STUDYING TO BE A HISTORIAN PLS DEEP DIVE THE 2000S HISTORY IS SO FUN AND INTERESTING AND MORE PPL SHOULD KNOW PLSSSSSSS

Maygan

Emily’s “that’s like my whole fucking life” was so genuine and hilarious

Dippity_Dip

As someone who grew up in the 2000s there was definitely a shift bc kids movies didn’t necessarily go full non-color, but post 9/11 everything got very patriotic in like a subtle way where they just kind of insert the military into everything somehow

Laura !

my dearest two crew, i beg you to watch minority report for a mixed bag. you have previously stated that you think it might be boring, since based on the tagline the film seems like it just rips. and rip it does, but it has so many insane and specific lore details that i have only unraveled after four viewings since the inciting episode with rekha. invite rekha! the more people that have to witness tom cruise with brown eyes the better. i whet your palate with this tidbit of information, at one point an old woman kisses tom cruise full on the lips and neither of them even mention it. please view this awesome and insane movie. laura ps. while you watch it remember that it came out one year after 9/11

Cheese of the Lake

You guys have unlocked a core memory of seeing this when I was 9 in theater with my grandparents. I wonder if this movie was made for all the grandparents out there?

Cheese of the Lake

Wait didn’t jar jar binks make his debut in 1999 BEFORE this Gazoo?

Witpending

This episode really made me reflect on how weird and niche my interests have gotten

Heckin Good

A few thoughts... * Hearing about all this Cumming is making me want to watch Josie and the Pussycats. Ideally NADDpod does a Festival of Cumming. * My favorite Mark Addy moment in anything he's done was his improvised sidemouth YEEEEAAHHH from Knight's Tale * The olden days seemed to have a lot of tiny magic assholes with the likes of Gazoo, Bat-Mite and Mxyzptlk. What a terrible time to have been alive.

Kalob abramson

Maybe you guys should do a live show in “Rock Vegas” where you watch the grinch and discuss right after

Jody

I was 16 in 2000. Emily's recap brought it all back. I was dying!! I for sure never saw this movie though.

Greg Jovi

Man the trivia section on IMDB slams Baldwin

J.I.

😨

Featherweight

The original Flintstones wasn’t a kids show it was it was a prime time sit-com that happened to be animated. It was the honeymooners with a genre gimmick. Two adult couples dealing with social mishaps and the pit falls of “modern life” (and keep in mind pebbles and bambam don’t even show up till the end of season 3 ) that’s not a premise aimed at kids. It wasn’t till syndication that the view of franchise retroactively shifted from adult targeted but family friendly to a thing for kids. Which is why you can get the weird tones of the movies because the people involved were famously fans of the originals and did try to accurately draw from the source material giving it that “who is this for” dissidence. The Flintstones movies aren’t really kids movies they are genre rom-coms being marketed as kids movies because the Flintstones was viewed as “a thing for kids” by everyone except the people making the things.

Fif

I distinctly remember watching this in theaters... which means I was around 5! The scene where Barney escapes jail is for some reason tattooed into my core memories. I've not seen it since, nor do I have any idea why my family went to go see it.

Heckin Good

Du Jour means family! Also may have to watch Romy and Michelle for a bit more Cumming.

Stations & Starships

I cannot disassociate this movie with the 1994 movie. I saw Kyle Maclachlian in person at an interview before a showing of Fire Walk With Me and he said one of his favorite roles was playing the villain in the Flinstones movie. I will forever have that etched in my memory...

Stations & Starships

Two crew if you love cave aesthetics I highly recommend the grotto at Neuschwanstein castle

Bransy330

Waiting for Gadot? No. Resorting to Gazoo.

Myles Lee

I'm surprised they didn't get the Titanic reference with Fred getting framed.

Kitty

Josie & the Pussycats is iconic, would LOVE to hear the NADDPOD breakdown of "Backdoor Lover"

The Fun Yaunt

I wonder if Emily is subconsciously pulling “Moss Vegas” from Starstruck Odyssey’s “Más Vegas”

DevynAsUsual

When you’re on balcony time, every movie is 0 Fred Flags 😎🌅🚩

Ayn Like Ryan

It's so cute that murph is trying so hard to talk through the film like we care about what happens in the film and don't wanna just listen to them riff about the shitty movie for an hour and 11 minutes

Jack Campau

Everyone, fantastic news. For the low low price of 490 dollars (plus shipping and handling) you could own the official Gazoo Helmet from Viva Rock Vegas!

Natural Dragon

Thank you for drinking a fat tire 🍺

alli

i watched this movie today. the bowling scene was actually more insane than described. and it ended with a musical number.

Hammy

Gazoo is a Poochie

Stabitha

“You’re writing a different movie, Murph.” “YES!!!” 😂😂😂

Drysax

I also enjoy Gazoo and did not know he was hated

Eliana Roberts

Loved the 2000 recap, I was -7 months old so much needed context

nandrusin

Petition for emily to do a year set up for all of these!

Slappy Dave

I was 6 when it came out and probably watched it on VHS like 3 years later and don't remember anything about it (or the first one probably watched on VHS around the same time) But I do think it would be a fun time capsule to go back and watch them

Genaro Morales

I really want Emily to write a Flintstones play

Trey Wessel

This just confirmed, the next movie to watch is legendary director Robert Altman live action adaptation of Popeye

Hannah

the fact that they barely reference comedy icon jane krakowski being in this movie and also THOMAS GIBSON aka hotch from criminal minds playing chip

Hannah

not this movie also being kristen stewart’s theatrical debut 😭

Jackson Roth

I just need to acknowledge how perfectly on-brand " Festival of Cumming" is. Bravissimo 👌🏽

AlDente

You guys should do David Bowie’s Labyrinth…. Nightmare fuel

Benjamin P Parson Gomberg

This movie cost 83 million dollars to make. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon released the same year with a budget of $17 million. Gladiator only cost $20 million more at $103 million, released two weeks after this. This movie doesn’t deserve much sympathy for being bad.

2026-09-05 07:00 I just forced my partners to watch the 2000’s Jim Carrey grinch movie last night, and it genuinely is a modern masterpiece. The costumes, makeup, sets, even the WRITING, was like SO GOOD, for NO REASON, and like we all got teary eyed by the end. So genuinely good watch it if you haven’t already. It’s probably one of my new favorite movies of all time

Thomas Jager

That 2000 recap gave me a hit of nostalgia for a time where I was just a young child! So, well done setting the atmosphere!

Kellyd

Must be pointed out that Jake called Jane Krakowski "the 3rd rock from the sun lady" when she is very much from 30 Rock and not 3rd Rock

The Grinch (feral)

Girl, what are you, nine? Yes, partners plural. Idk how you can claim to be a fan of the show if you don’t have atleast a vague idea of how non monogamy works

The Grinch (feral)

Incredibly original. Did that make you feel better? I’ll make sure to kiss my bf and my gf for you next time I see them

The Grinch (feral)

There’s nothing to explain. I date multiple people. At the same time. So I have multiple partners. Also unless you’re secretly under 18 there is no way I’m any more than like 4 years older than u. So maybe just don’t ask ppl invasive questions unless you’re coming from a genuine place of curiosity. And if that’s what you were coming from, do it differently next time bc you came across as an asshat

Kaidan C

I adore the effort Emily put into her write up. Magnificent, took me right back

Kaidan C

You mean Greg

riskutforthebriskut

that new radicals song is so good, idgaf if thats a normie take

Beluga, Gunks undersea mount that only drinks dr.p

Also, kinda odd you say “There’s nothing to explain.” And proceed to explain a topic that you assume everyone already knows about. I find it a weak personality trait getting so offended and defensive over a question. How do you expect me to learn something new without learning it? I tried to be nice and explain myself, and I apologized, but im just frustrated you called me such awful things. I hope you leave this conversation with a little more empathy for those you do not share all the knowledge and experience you have. 🫤🫴
