Night at the Museum is Great (if you don't think too much about it) | Guilty Pleasures Ep. 145

[@TriforceLiz]

It's interesting that Zach ships Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, when it's abundantly clear that tiny Octavius and tiny Jedidiah are absolute romantic soulmates.

[@bugwaterbuffy]

literally was going to comment abt them lmaooo

[@Chloe-pp3oi]

octavius and jedidiah mean so much to me

[@emilylouwhoo]

Currently in the museum of natural history in NYC, they have the Teddy Roosevelt statue they took down along with an exhibit on Teddy’s bad views and opinions and how times have changed. It’s awesome because it shows the progression of history instead of just erasing it entirely.

[@emilylouwhoo]

Also a customer once brought a pet monkey into the adult store I worked at. He was on a leash. I got to feed him a penis shaped ring pop.

[@JennaLoomar]

I still quote “hi I’m Paul” on the regular

[@chokingnoises2384]

the girlies who get it, get it 😭

[@lori1324martini]

Anytime they mention Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson my brain immediately goes to Zoolander. I cant belive they didn’t mention it 😂

[@NotUlpoadingAnything]

25:15 According to the third movie, the tablet animates things at night because it was blessed by the moon god Khonshu.

[@missusdr]

*PLEASE* do an episode for the second movie!! It’s one of those few movies where the sequel is as good as - if not better than - the original. And then maybe Kelsey can catch up on the fun 😄

[@hj45-s9k]

Rami Malek was also in Breaking Dawn 1 and 2 if y’all didn’t know. He had pretty cool powers. I love these movies though, they’re so much fun

[@jam_milya]

That’s what I thought when they mentioned him!

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Oh my god that reminds me, I want them to do a game episode so bad. Like Until Dawn. I just want to see them, especially Kelsey, play!

[@aj27turquoiseskies]

and he was kind of the deus ex machina unrealized in that one too!

[@AGalaxyTurtle]

PLEASE cover the 2nd night at the museum!!! Hank Azaria alone makes it such a joy to watch!

[@bubbletea9111]

I think you guys didn't pay attention enough to the film. Teddy literally says "I am not the real Teddy Roosevelt, I didn't do any of the stuff he did. I was made in a factory in pookipsie. I am made of wax, what are you made of?" None of this is about history accuracy, its about statues coming to life in a museum

[@valorielafaele8568]

Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@fastblood19]

They do acknowledge this around the 48 min mark

[@M.M.Y.B]

And then it ties back into like the ben stiller character arc. It's not about teddy roosevelt's character arc. He's an archetype for thus movie and he's self aware

[@solcarlosofficial]

PLEASE REVIEW THE MOVIE AQUAMARINE

[@priscilae.6513]

Please!!!!!!

[@startolentino]

I honestly won't delete the copy I have on my laptop from th 00's and just waiting that my nieces and goddaughters turn into teens so we can watch this together

[@mollylevine7872]

Robin Williams in the third one makes me cry just thinking about it.

[@francis2fly]

Plus it was fun to see Dick Van Dyke play a baddie.

[@pinkish410]

Saying that babys know not to scratch your eye out is insane cause like babys be beating you up low-key 😂

[@solcarlosofficial]

I like the sequel even more

[@cheesecakelasagna]

The sequel was actually my first NatM watch

[@gguchristine]

Honestly the Robin Williams thing is kinda sad. he was pretty selfless is doing the movie for a fraction for what he was worth, and agreed to do it if Disney didn’t use his likeness to sell the movie. But surprise surprise they used him more than what was in their agreement and it soured their relationship. And while the movie did GREAT because of Williams, he didn’t get anymore. Disney tried to mend their relationship by gifting him a Picasso painting but think about all the money they made.

[@otter.mayhem]

Imagine breaking a historic working relationship with one of the biggest comedic actors of all time, who defined multiple iconic Disney characters, and then being like "but here's a Picasso" omfg Disney 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@abbybottar2297]

Pretty sure that was with Aladdin not Night at the Museum.

[@nataliep856]

The video essay Zach mentions about Robin Williams playing the Genie is by Lindsay Ellis! It’s fantastic, definitely go check it out.

[@kstrongtree22]

I totally forgot about "Hi! I'm Paul!" 😂 Thank you surprised/remembering laughter is a special kind of laughter

[@julianaparra9326]

The way I freaking screamed when you said FDR LOOOOOOOOL

[@BradTheImpalerX]

I haven’t watched it in over a decade but man I never pieced together Teddy being in love with Sacagawea compared to his real life stance on Native Americans😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@gemstone108]

I re-watched the first Night At The Museum not too long ago and I choose to believe that Rebecca (the “love interest”) was aroace the whole time which is why she didn’t show up in the second movie. Speaking of which, please do the second movie. I need Zach to witness the Jonas Brother cherubs…

[@neivilde.1242]

i watched that movie on repeat cuz i had such a crush on rami malek. also years later i found out he did this around the same time as he was on that sitcom he was a recurring character on, and it blew my mind cuz it's worlds apart

[@francis2fly]

I enjoyed seeing Dick Van Dyke & Mickey Rooney & Bill Cobbs. Some great actors that have had quite prolific careers.

[@maliaann6393]

Lindsay Ellis is the one who made the video essay about Robin Williams voicing the genie. It's amazing. Go check it out.

[@DisasterAstor]

30:32 Midnight In Paris. You're welcome.

[@BrotherTalkPod]

Im part of the actor-to-director pipeline. Having a history of acting has helped me know how to direct humans in a way that is natural. It's a beautiful journey

[@Stupidmuffin64]

You guys definitely expected too much from this film with regards to the accuracy of History and it's impact on the story. It's not about history coming to life, it's a museum. The president Teddy Roosevelt is not in love with the native American Sacajawea. The wax statues of them in the museum are

[@bubbletea9111]

Exactly I think they didn't pay attention enough to the film. Teddy literally says "I am not the real Teddy Roosevelt, I didn't do any of the stuff he did. I was made in a factory in pookipsie. I am made of wax, what are you made of?" None of this is about history accuracy, its about statues coming to life in a museum

[@a_o011]

They should watch Cars (3 hits the spot) and bring in Ryan and Shane 😂 for an owen wilson episode

[@aibakaika]

the first movie introduced me to Rami Malek, but the 2nd movie introduced me to Bill Hader so i'm 50/50 re: which is better lmao

[@mckennamaglio4666]

I BEG of you to do more Ben Stiller SPECIFICALLY the movie Tower Heist, it’s out of control, there’s just enough plot to keep you watching but not enough to make it make sense and the cast is incredible! Love the show! :)

[@JackieWarner13]

I love the NATM films they're my comfort films. I love when Shawn Levy does family movies. I've watched #2 the most tbh. When I visited DC I was like omg I get to see all these museums & then realised the objects aren't in the same places/museums compared to the film

[@duncansonoryan]

The museums in the first film are in New York. The Smithsonian institutes are amazing though.

[@JackieWarner13]

@@duncansonoryan I know but I haven't been to natural history museum yet only DC ones.

[@marly24]

I know crystal the monkey!!!!! I used to volunteer at the rescue shes from its called animal tracks in agua dulce and you can visit them!! The owners are a couple were the wife is an exotic animal rescuer and the husband is an animal trainer so they work together to save exotic animals who cant be rehabilitated and train them for movies and tv! Theyre absolutely lovely I highly recommend visiting or donating if you are able

[@catsrambling]

"Africa is just reduced to wild animals" Egypt is... in Africa...

[@1Bornconfused]

Yes, but obviously is not ALL of Africa.

[@shelbyremmy2553]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YALL TO DO THIS ONE!!! genuinely one of my favorite movies

[@BrendanSullivan]

Dont let Rainie's age fool you, im the same age and i know Jimmy Neutron, "hi i'm Paul" and Charlie Murphy (R.I.P) Rainie needs to leave her bubble.

[@kelbimckinley8042]

I'm from Dick Van Dyke's hometown, and I KNOW he's famous, I know he's a great actor. But it still blows my mind when people who aren't from Danville know who he is 😂 We love to see it, honestly

[@sophiekuhn5342]

Please do national treasure

[@scarlettedemontague2750]

12:40 I think you guys should watch The Secret World of Arriety. It's a ghibli movie

[@jeffrym9625]

33:00 Ron Paulsen, the voice of Wakko Warner, Pinky, Raphael, and so many more does the voice for Carl and he loves doing that character, especially for stuff like Twisted Toonz at conventions

[@randomriley1440]

As an environmental scientist I can say mostly we do not like Teddy Roosevelt he is up there with some of the worsts in my opinion ( Also Rainey you are also correct because he was the big stick president, very similar concept)

[@sirgnome]

This movie changed me as a child and is one of the reasons I became a history major in college.

[@viswasrujith8426]

Guys we need the "BAHUBALI 2 THE CONCLUSION" podcast Asap. It's been 6 months since the 1 part reaction.

[@ok_plenty5749]

You guys should totally do Hairspray sometime.

[@melneth3119]

To be fair if he was the real Atilla the Hun everyone in the museum would have had their heads on spikes with him eating under them so it would have been a very different movie 🤣🤣

[@stephearley3141]

He also played Freddie Mercury

[@sensitive.weapon]

I really want them to watch “Something Borrowed” with Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, and John Krasinski. That movie is just one of the craziest films in my mind. Or to have a John Hughes month.

[@melissacucalon9854]

Garrick is 100% right about Carl! His crush on jimmys mom is so weird.

[@mlilejay8698]

i feel like one flippant line of like "Ahkmenrah made a deal with the god of the underworld, Anubis, to be able to return to life using the tablet, but it made Ra furious so he made it so the tablet only worked at night and thus you can't go into sunlight for fear of facing the wrath of Ra" to shore up the logic of the movie a little 😂

[@andreaflores6536]

Omg. I also saw Owen in santa monica but I didn’t even realize! He complemented our Pizza and when he left my boyfriend said that was Owen Wilson! I was so mad I didn’t realize it was him!! 😂💀

[@nicolegilly419]

I’m screaming! Yes this is a definition of GP!

[@eryginger246]

The Voyage of the Mimi! What a core memory haha.

[@deserabailey8500]

OMG! I forgot about that monkey! but as soon as you said it i got a flashback! LOL

[@spacecookiekate]

One of my favorite movies of all time and it got the love it deserved!

[@didntevenchoosethisfont141]

Movies for Garrick: The Borrowers (97), The Indian in the Cupboard (95). Movie suggestions overall: The Emporior's Club (2002), A Little Princess (95), Teen Witch (89), Bicentennial Man (99), Flubber (97)

[@JerseyQuinn]

For Paul giamattathon, you should do Turbo 😂😂😂😂 🐌

[@anava7030]

Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller are also both in Meet the Parents!

[@samixamehta]

Love you all talking about this movie 🎉

[@Jiddy12345]

Tom Lennon iconic for also helping create @midnight

[@neivilde.1242]

i need to know what we need to do for them to cover step up 3d on the podcast, like i need zach's intel on that movie!!!

[@MakaylaXBailey]

If yall don’t do NATM 2&3 I will be so sad!!! Please do the other ones!

[@Cpowers620]

lol at garrick wanting it to take place all in one night. It's not "A night at the museum," it's "Night(time) at the museum" and I'm mad I hadn't thought of that before now

[@neivilde.1242]

movie rec: aliens in the attic

[@honoluluw]

joyride mentioned 👀 love that movie it was one of the best viewing experiences i had last year!!

[@icee2329]

Guilty pleasure? More like just pleasure! I love night at the museum!

[@LinaGForero]

Can y’all do Madame Web? I heard it was soooo bad 😂😂

[@busybree]

I can confirm that it's realllllyyyyyyy bad but bet it will become a cult classic 😂

[@1Bornconfused]

When the movie first came out, the ONE AND ONLY reason why I really wanted to see it was because of the legendary Dick Van Dyke. Regarding the scene with Attila the Hun and Ben Stiller - listening to Zach and Gerrick talking about the Asian portrayal IMMEDIATELY reminded me of Mickey Rooney's depiction of the Japanese landlord in Breakfast at Tiffany's - ooof, that was some rough stuff.

[@sydney4377]

honestly would love the gp crew to cover mr and mrs smith because I love that show and I feel like its so underrated!!

[@kaylah5442]

this is me once again asking for you guys to watch and review Bottoms

[@aprilgirl4]

I’ll add Red White and Royal Blue here as a request for a double feature 😂

[@desirai_t9429]

I genuinely thought I was the only person that hated Carl! I see you Garrick, I see you!

[@tittertat98]

if you love random rami malek, i am BEGGING you to finish the twilight series😭

[@Candies1Creations]

One of the best Museum I ever been too. Took 4 hours going through everything. Did some of the special exhibits as well. Was a great time.

[@waterlilly143]

MR ROBOT MENTIONED ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@laurenbevan8569]

Another interesting film debut is Priyanka Chopra, it was the Disney movie Planes

[@charcoults]

If Garrick wants little people big world PLEASE watch Arrietty

[@Madd_u_mad]

I would die if you guys cover heavyweights I love that movie so much! In the same vein you could do the little giants too

[@kalebzerger301]

I'd have to agree with Garrick, Carl's voice sounds like the kid whose parents smoke two packs of cigarettes every day driving him to school

[@kalebzerger301]

Probably why he has asthma…

[@eyeseajujubee]

This movie is such a GP! It was so silly but when I watched it as a kid I didn’t understand the history yet. Definitely problematic and revisionist. The cast was stacked in NATM. I always laugh and cry seeing Robin Williams in any movie.

[@abbybottar2297]

The whole trilogy is really good imo

[@jacko666]

Yall need to watch Cougar Town for the “Tom cruise run” ongoing narrative. Nothing better.

[@fatboyrocker]

PLEASE do Heavyweights

[@Jiddy12345]

BODY!!!

[@JerseyQuinn]

Bohemian Rhapsody slaps you guys should watch that & avatar the last Airbender 😂😂😂😂 I need Garrick to react

[@spacecookiekate]

Yall better watch the 2nd and 3rd one

[@keeksB09]

I'm curious if this movie helped with museum ticket sales (if you have to pay for the museum in your neighborhood) after it came out because this was a delight! a sweet and fun movie for all ages.

[@damianporter942]

oh something you MUST understand is that owen wilson and ben stiller's characters are gay and married in this movie. they're also gay and divorced at the same time. hope this helped!

[@AGalaxyTurtle]

Ben stiller in this movie: This is my boyfriend Jedidiah, and this is his boyfriend Octavius

[@ceeceepg]

It is funny how different Zach saw Sacagawea compared to my 7 year old self. As a kid I was like aw yes Lewis and Clark are absolute idiots and that this poor lady is stuck in a glass box with them. And I was amazed at her ability to make guys feel stupid without telling them they were stupid. She was just like these poor souls have no ability to observe or think critically. How difficult their lives must be. 😂

[@milasyakila8247]

how many months do i hv to wait until succession video discussion. or like never ever ever

[@donnavalentine6515]

VOYAGE OF THE MIMI!!!!

[@moniquetroth]

Wait. Phoebe W-B was supposed to be Jane?? I missed that somehow, but I completely agree with Garrick that Maya Erskin OWNED that role.

[@queenk-ia2862]

I fucking love this movie

[@eg5395]

Oohh please do an episode on Joy Ride!! It was sssooooo good!

[@CloudRunner94]

I remember Rami Melik best from UNTILL DAWN.

[@Flashpoint079]

Mr and Mrs Smith was so good. I just need clarification on the ending.

[@Roneish1996]

Glad Garrick liked Mr and Mrs Smith so much I did too and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to watch anything new. Will just say this James Franco definitely isn’t the white Donald Glover that honour goes to Bo Burnham imho.

[@sarahwood3157]

Ummm excuse me, Carl was my favorite character!!

[@alexxis2928]

Can you do the movie Priscilla???? Or mommy dearest?? One of the creeper movies

[@pumalover1000]

Please do Shark Tale!

[@DannyViTaylor]

you guys called it toy story but id argue its fnaf if the animatronics were cool and didnt want to kill u

[@cassbass13]

I agree with gerrick. HATE Carl 🙃

[@airbear12606]

Dude I just watched this too😂

[@donnavalentine6515]

Fun family movie :)

[@abbybottar2297]

I'm glad Zach mixed up Ben Stiller and Ben Affleck, because I did a double take at the beginning of this podcast when they were talking about Ben Stiller, because I remembered it as Ben Affleck 🤦🏻‍♀️
