I did, in fact, eat a lot of paint chips as a child... which probably explains why I'm watching this first thing at 8am on a Sunday. Whatever.

BigGuy209

I was literally watching this movie last night and was talking about hoping to finally watch you guys react to this movie. lol😎🤙🏻

Classic! Though I like 'Black Sheep' (1996) much better which is also basically a sequel to Tommy Boy as it also stars Chris Farley and David Spade but they play completely different characters that are basically the same as their characters in Tommy Boy. Wow! What a sentence for 9am on a Sunday morning! 🤣

The phrase "they don"t make movies like this anymore" is 30 percent based on nostalgia and 70 percent based on the real belief that hollywood doesn't invest in certain types of movies anymore, and not just financially but creatively. Matt Damon talked about it awhile ago and he attributed a large part of that dvd's and videotapes going away. Lots of classic movies got by financially due to video sales so they kept being made and people were able to tell their stories. Streaming doesn't bring in that kind of revenue or allow for the same level of artistic expression.

DeAndrew Greene

And also to the Die Hard point, Speed is sometimes referred to as Die Hard on a bus and the Director of Die Hard was approached to direct Speed at one point. He turned it down and recommended the actual director. And now Speed like Die Hard is considered one of the best action movies of all time.

Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez

Speaking of Black Sheeps, you also need to watch it...and Almost Heroes as well, also not entirely Chris Farley movies but The Coneheads and Almost Heroes

I never found David Spade funny in his movies but his stand up is great

Odd Thomas

I think you hit the nail on the head in regard to watching something for the first time when you're young and your brain just clicks. I would say the age of 13-16 for me cemented my love of movies and in the mid-nineties it was a GREAT time for movies. I was OBSESSED with Batman when Batman Forever came out in '95. I'd seen the first two but this was MY Batman since I got to see it in the cinema. I still remember it like it was literally yesterday. Looking at it now as 42 year old, is it objectively a good movie? No. Is it still a fun movie? Absolutely. But that initial discovery and subsequent nostalgia still hold a lot of power. We're always trying to find that initial 'high' again. There's a Woody Allen film where they discuss the allure of nostalgia and how someone in 2024 might be nostalgic for the 1990s just as much as someone from 1910 was nostalgic for 1880.

Odd Thomas

You did technically see Chris Farley in Wayne's World, but it was just a cameo tbf

Mr. Writhms

Before the Chris Farley and David Spade comedy duo, there were a couple of guys named Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor you should check out. "Silver Streak" (1976) "Stir Crazy" (1980) The 70s and 80s released some really funny comedies. You Cinebingers should dig deeper.

I actually just came to the comment section to recommend they check out the Chipendales audition sketch with Patrick Swayze.

beefjerkywizard

One of my favourite tidbits about this movie is the "fat guy in a little coat" bit and that Spade and Farley shared an office at SNL and Farley would do this but every day....and Spade hated it

Bryce Lamkin

I recommend Son's of Anarchy as s show to watch please, it has 7 seasons

Grandalf

Hearing Come on Eileen reminds me that you guys really need to react to The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'm sure you both would love it.

tgriexterminator

Now you have to watch the sequel. "Black Sheep"

simon brouillard

I think you nailed it on the nail when people talk about movies not being like they used to, so much of it come from people watching movies during their formative year and also the fact that people don’t consume them like they use to, when it comes to comedies, RomCom those are almost strictly released on streaming platforms no a days. Great reaction, Bo Derek was a huge sex symbol in the eighties starting with a movie called 10, hence Tommy saying she’s a 10 when coming out of the water. Also Lawrence of Arabia 😉

E. D.

The gorgeous Julie Warner is also in Doc Hollywood (1991) which I recommend you to watch, starring M. J. Fox [also: you haven´t watched Michael J. Fox in a main role since BTTF; other good ones are The Frighteners (1996; The Hard Way (1991); Casualties of War (1989)]

The movie where one is blind and the other is deaf is pretty good too and I think Kevin Spacey is in that movie. @David okay I think that´s how the movie is called lol

It´s always 2pm here in Europe when George post the movies :)

Travis

Nice, Tommy Boy. They don’t make movies like this anymore. 😉

Skyruff

Spade and Farley were best friends. Think of them as two brothers who never matured past middle school age. The laughed and fought often but would always be brothers. Spade gave a lovely tribute after Farley’s passing.

Chase Lonnergan

Most of the time when I hear the phrase "they don't make them like they used to" I hear it used in the stylistic sense of the word. Blazing Saddles is a prime example of this. You CAN'T make a movie like Blazing Saddles now. The culture has become too sensitive to handle something that mocks all sides and peoples. With much, much older films like It's a Wonderful Life and 12 Angry Men, and Casablanca this is certainly true. The style of speaking that is closely related to stage production, the rhythm of dialogue is unique to that era, and the cinematography style is long out of use. Most "classic films" contain stylistic, thematic, and even practical aspects that aren't used anymore, and never will be again. As for LOTR... They definitely don't make them like that anymore. Films that lovingly regard the source material as the intended story and attempt to execute it with faithful and affectionate respect? That doesn't even happen to THAT IP anymore, and certainly not any other. They truly DON'T make them like that anymore. At least... That's four years of film school talking, anyway.

Monica Alarcon

Man I hadn't seen this in ages!! I remember a lot but I don't remember crying during a Christ Farley movie... like this time... I actually like all the Chris Farley movies so I do hope you watch Black Sheep, Beverly Hills Ninja, and even that one he did with Chandler... forgot the name... oh and Coneheads!!

Odd Thomas
>>128150477

I haven't seen those movies in years so I would totally be up for a revisit

dieselbeast

Going to suggest "Beverly Hills Ninja" for a future poll/reaction another Gem from Chris Farley gets over shadowed by Tommy Boy but so worth a reaction 😁 god rest his soul 🙏

Vwlss Nvwls

This was a surprisingly well done movie that caught everyone off guard when it came out. And if George wants to see Julie Warner's (Michelle) mesmerizing eyes in another great romantic comedy, you two should watch "Doc Hollywood" with Michael J. Fox. Herbie Hancock is a Jazz/Synth Pop musician who was huge in the 80s. Bo Derek, who plays Tommy's stepmother got popular in the 80s in a movie called "10" and the famous scene/poster is her coming out of the water like they had in this movie. Jackie Gleason, from the Honeymooners t.v. show and the Smokey & The Bandit movies, was hefty like Chris Farley, he would often do back flips and such like Chris Farley.

Patrick

You're overthinking the basic concept of "nostalgia", George. ; Memories made during your formative years.

Patrick

Seeing the name "Sandusky" these days feels weird. Chris Farley was one of the best physical comedians of all time. One of the saddest stories I heard about Chris on SNL, was when he was asked about his day at work, Chris said, "Well, they wrote another sketch where they make fun of the fat guy..."

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

A fun watch to come back to. Glad you both liked it! Farley and Spade had lightning in a bottle chemistry and it’s a big shame they didn’t get to do more together the older they got. The studio immediately wanted to recapture the dynamic in Black Sheep, which I personally love but chalk it up to seeing it when I was 10 years old and how broad the comedy is. It isn’t as emotionally resonant as this film and much sillier but still has the same chemistry and charm

Nate Terry

"they don't make movies like this anymore" they don't make parody movies much anymore....they don't make many physical comedy much anymore..movies with Chris Farley are all physical comedy, they don't make them anymore. Cartoons like Tom and Jerry, and Popeye aren't made anymore... I think you can make them, but perhaps the culture sees comedy different nowadays and so it wouldn't be funny to a younger audience...but then again, 'Airplane' with Leslie Nelson is still funny today by many ppl who are watching it for the first time....a lot of it is probably about what is politically correct or not. 'Airplaine' couldn't be made today!

akaTheBARON Tokyo Drift

🖤So funny that you asked "Wait are they brothers and Chris Farley is kind of the black sheep?" because Chris Farley and David Spade did another movie right after this called "Black Sheep" XD I recommend more Chris Farley movies. Beverly Hills Ninja, Dirty Work (He's a minor character but in a solid 4-5 scenes), Black Sheep, and Almost Heros (also starring Matthew Perry). He sadly doesn't have an extensive movie library under his belt like the likes of Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell because he died so young but he left some good comedy behind.

The Callahan business didn't "take over" all the closed ones, they're just one of (what used to be many) auto parts businesses in the "Rust Belt," and one of the few that is still around and trying to survive. It used to be the "Steel Belt" back in the day because auto companies and manufacturing plants were all concentrated in that area (mostly in the Midwestern US). Deindustrialization brought the Steel Belt into decline in the 1950s as manufacturing centers were opened in other countries, accelerated throughout the 80s and 90s, and still continues today. There are tons of towns in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and other states that used to be thriving communities but are now depressed areas after manufacturing plants where the residents used to work all closed down.

lovemoose

i did a watch-a-long and i didn't know that housekeeping line was from this movie lol

akaTheBARON Tokyo Drift

🖤Not George bringing up one of the saddest moments in cartoon history with Homer sitting on his car looking at the stars😭 Why don't you bring up how Fry's dog missed him terribly after he disappeared while you're at it, really kick me in the pills XD

Logan Kerlee

I don't think that I commonly use that phrase. When I do though, it's usually when I'm referencing movies that I'm passionate about for one reason or another or it's because they were highly influential for me. When I say that, it's because I enjoyed the movie so much and feel that no other movie will again have that impact on me. It isn't negative all of the time - they just don't/can't make me feel that way again. Yeah! Basically what Simone explained. xD George is right as well, saying "you can't pop that cherry again." It's true! Simone's right in that whatever's watched first - will be the baseline. Paint the paint? What the hell, Simone? xD I do NOT understand. hahahaha LUL I LOVE THAT SKIT! hahahaha, love it! Chris Farley is a legend of his time. Now he just isn't. His comedy may not translate well with today's world. Disappointing, because I really loved his comedy as I grew up! It's been a number of years since I've watched this. I hope you both enjoy the movie! :) I LOVE that phrase! "Holy Schnikes!" As someone who just very recently lost a parent - this scene hits me differently now. I always felt sad during this point but I felt hopeful at the same time, knowing that things would be alright because it's a Chris Farley movie. Fat Guy In A Little Coat is a song/scene that I'll always remember! :) This movie has heart, 100%! Chris Farley/John Candy played very similar characters for sure! I love Farley's comedy so much. I hope that down the road we'll get you both to watch another Farley hit! :)

Monica Alarcon

Btw. Thank you for doing a light-hearted comedy Sunday because so far this was a heavy drama week...

Tenn Seven

I just noticed for the first time that at the end of the movie they introduce him as "Tom Callahan Jr.," but when he get his office I think it says "Tom Callahan III".

Adam Wetstein

They don't make movie like this anymore, thank god. I hated it then but they do keep making the same horror film for over sixty years as for rom-com they dont because they seems to only to make them with gay characters.

🖤Any Futurama rewatch I always debate just skipping that episode. Same with the Simpsons episode George mentioned. Just to avoid the endings. I end up just watching them tho.

Adam Wetstein

Im always hated this film. It is not surprising that the people who love this don’t see the direct link to MAGA hats

Ricardo Alanis

The “Matt Foley Motivational Speaker” SNL sketch is what you referenced. David Spade is in it too. It is one of the single best sketches in SNL history.

Jesse Coombs

I really appreciate the context you guys give us about your history with whatever movie or actor or director you're going to watch.

REDR58

No eating in my car either. Ever! “Herbie” Hancock in the test Tommy was doing refers to Herbie Hancock who is a jazz musician. It’s pronounced like “Her-bee.”

To be fair the LotR films have their critics who view them as being unfaithful simplifications of the book, critics who include Tolkien’s own son. But that can be contested due to the vastly different features in the mediums of Film and Text.

Jomero

Thin crust pizza, to me, is like slapping some pizza sauce and cheese on a large, round cracker. I'd love to like it, but I just can't. I need some actual substance in my pizza dough.

JoeySnowyNoey

I just think the majority of the audience you have is older like probably 30 plus. So these movies feel special to them. Im just bullshitting but that what I get from most of the recommendations! I honestly believe that in each generation we tend to look back at what we liked when we were younger and think it was better back then. Like I have a lot of feelings for movies around 2005-2015 because thats when I started really getting into movies when I was kid into teen years, so I'll look back at those years special. Even though there was a lot of bullshit coming out at that time as well. We tend to pick out the gems and think that time was great and forget all the shit. Lol

Chase Lonnergan
>>128161959

The film vs book contestation is absolutely correct. There are limitations to film that make pure adaptations of a story range from difficult to just plain impossible. Runtime is a major issue, certainly. As well as internal monologues, metaphors, symbolic instances, and emotional vagueries being massive obstacles to overcome when translating mediums. On a personal note, I like many of the changes. Especially the one where Jackson got rid of all of the goddamn SINGING! I skip the songs whenever I read the books. Also, Tolkien's son approves of The Rings of Power, so any criticism he makes about LOTR being unfaithful to the source material is hollow and ridiculous. LOTR was honestly the best that could be done with the translation. And there were others that maintained the same... Reverence for the source material. The first two Harry Potter movies (Not that later movies didn't respect the source material, they just didn't REVERE it), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and so on. But... They don't they don't make them like that anymore. MAYBE the Harry Potter series that they are making will do it due to Rowling's involvement. Time will tell on that one.

Just FYI, the Chicago style deep dish pizza is not really the pizza of choice for true Chicagoans. Sure, Chicago is famous for the deep dish pizza and it is good, but it's really more of a touristy thing. If you ask anyone from Chicago what type of pizza they prefer they'll tell you thin crust "tavern" style pizza. It's a crispy thin crust pizza piled to the edge with toppings, and cut into squares. Also, Chicago style Italian sausage is a regional specialty in itself, that has a unique taste since it is made with toasted fennel seeds and is a favorite topping for pizza.

They don't make pre-movie discussions like this anymore.

Michael Green

One, "pop that emotional cherry" is a cursed phrase and you should feel ashamed/proud, George. Two, I think it's good practice to try to engage with newer media on its own terms; "they don't make them like this anymore" is literally and figuratively true, but not really a sentiment that has ever resonated with me. It's possible (and I think desirable) to keep a fresh eye. The films, books, comics, and games I loved when I was younger are still precious to me, but I've made an active effort not to let my tastes calcify entirely around them, and every year of my life I continue to find new things to love from exciting modern talents. (My single "old man shakes fist at clouds" indulgence is that, dear sweet baby Jesus could people please stop shooting night scenes so dark).

ChickensAreRacist

George, I know you know you answered your own question about ‘they don’t make movies like this anymore’. Simone, you helped as well with your example. It’s always anecdotal.

Gabriel Garza

I use that term mainly when im talking about the subject matter or movies that might be considered crass comedy that many get offended by nowadays. I have a pretty dark sense of humor so I don’t mind it and mostly rather enjoy it. Movies that would never get green light in todays environment.

Scott G

Simone you are the easiest cry at a movie I think I've ever seen. I never saw anyone choke up at Tommy Boy lol. It's very sweet. Don't ever change.

Jack Urmson

Really enjoyed watching this again! Thank you! The whole “They don’t make movies like that anymore” is kind of dismissive to me. Good storytelling is universal and transcends time. A movie or series that effectively tells its story will be applauded, whether released 50 years ago or last week.

Astraeos

I think Red Letter Media quite succinctly tackles part of the issue with modern movies, and why studios don't like to take chances on smaller budget movies that wouldn't have a chance at making a billion dollars or more. Its definitely a thing. At least for me, when I think of that sentiment "They don't make movies like that anymore", for me it usually revolves around that idea. Hollywood is just too obsessed with chasing those billion+ dollar returns that they just don't even care to greenlight any sort of movie that isn't going to have the potential to be a massive blockbuster. It just rarely happens anymore.

Dane Aguilar

It was fun to watch you guys react to this gem! Nice catch on Rob Lowe having to look down to hide his laughter/smile from the camera. You'll notice with a lot of comedic actors or actors with backgrounds in stand up, that some of their improv scenes worked or looked better than what was scripted and those were kept in the movie despite any noticeable breaks in character from other actors. I love it!

Spawncalibur

Speaking of Paint it Black. Watch Stir of Echoes! If havnt. Very underrated imo Kevin Bacon film.
