Escape From Vault Disney (Podcast) #16: "Jack"

[@MauricioVasquezSpirits]

36:31 WHERE'D THEY GET THE TRAM-BAM-POLINE??? XD

[@googamp32]

I'm so glad an internet comedian I respect finally tore into this movie.

[@atticusshadowmore3263]

googamp32 but the Nos... oh I get it. Nice

[@daelen.cclark]

@Mattbrain Because barely anyone wants to.

[@christheleavittman7080]

The two things in this movie that are explicitly 90s are the Pog and the Stimpy plush he sleeps with.

[@Dylan_T_Clark]

Tony: I also saw this in theaters. I still felt ripped off!

[@HBarnill]

People say that George Lucas had the greatest downfall out of all the New Hollywood filmmakers when Coppola’s was arguably even lower. From The Godfathers, to Apocalypse Now, to The Conversation (you gotta see that), none of his films afterward have ever hit that mark, not even Dracula.

[@mrcritical6751]

At least with Lucas you could argue he never actually had talent he just had good ideas that others helped him perfect. Coppola had talent but went so far up his own ass that when he got a film about Robin Williams as a 10 year old he couldn’t help himself and tried to make it deep, dark, artsy and philosophical

[@gregorymelissinos337]

@@mrcritical6751 Lucas had talent but as a producer and a story writer.

[@daelen.cclark]

“BUt hE mAKes cINeMa!” -some snob on Twitter somewhere

[@ArthurCrane92]

It's my understanding that Coppola ended up directing this because of several very expensive duds that put him under a lot of debt.

[@jamesanthony5874]

I grew up in the 90's. I didn't have any trees in my backyard, but I did have what amounted to a treehouse. Two platforms connected by a rope bridge, about 10ft in the air.

[@Trekkie155]

22:40 Welcome Back, Kill Bosby 🤣

[@daelen.cclark]

Actually it was Bosby’s evil twin.

[@ArthurCrane92]

This podcast: "What kid in the 90's had a treehouse?" Also this podcast: (Frequent references to The Simpsons)

[@gentlerat]

The Simpsons also lives in kind of an anachronistic world where clown kids shows like Bozo are still a thing which they weren't by the 90s. Also, they have 1950s style mafia. The thing is The Simpsons was and is (fight me) actually good on a level Jack never was.

[@TonyGoldmark]

The Simpsons is a cartoon, it gets some leeway.

[@WorkingonTwos]

@@TonyGoldmark yeah the Simpsons and many other 90s tv shows and films had treehouses in them which is why I always wanted one as a kid, neither myself nor any kid I knew actually had one however.

[@rogue7723]

I feel like in the ‘90’s, kids’ hangouts were either their bedrooms or their basements.

[@ForrestFox626]

I don't remember any kid having a tree house in reality.

[@DoctorInk20]

Benjamin Button is a great short story. It actually starts out hilarious, BB achieves things and becomes a man of great reputation. The ending is inevitably sad, but because you understand who Ben was, it hits waaaaay harder than you think. Fitzgerald 1, Coppola 0

[@nathanforester5993]

I am autistic myself and I really dislike it when certain people lump me and others in the same category as Chris Chan because to me that sounds like generalization, like you're just judging someone based on how they acted.

[@otaking3582]

Chris Chan isn't good enough to be autistic.

[@ForrestFox626]

4:14 Was that related to Cill Bosby?

[@daelen.cclark]

Eventually, yes.

[@alexanderklepp]

Awesome to see this on KZbin! I loved listening to you guys rip this movie apart.

[@weirdotzero7065]

I just found out this film was Produced by John Hughes' production company, Great Oaks. This film was so bad, mid 90s John Hughes didn't want his name to be attached to this.

[@wolfemanxd]

I had a tree house. I live in the country so we have wood everywhere.

[@gentlerat]

I had a raised platform house above a sandbox that was kinda like a treehouse. We called it a treehouse.

[@christheleavittman7080]

My grandmother had that in her backyard too.

[@wstine79]

I was shocked to find out that this was directed by Francis Ford Coppola back then. Although, Robin Williams did a pretty good job in this one for what it's worth.

[@rogue7723]

Yeah even in bad movies, Robin never half-assed his performances.

[@thesapphireone]

Hey Tony, have you seen the Benjamin Button movie, and if so, what are your thoughts? For me, while it was initially too slow and tedious in the first half, the moment Benjamin meets Captain Mike and goes out to sea, the film picks up and the story becomes more interesting, as he travels the world, rekindles his relationship with his childhood friend Daisy, with the two having good chemistry, romance, and work well off each other, the cinematography and music was beautiful, the acting from everyone, particularly from Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, was excellent, and it’s one of my favourite movies that I frequently watch when I need cheering up or feel any doubt about my future. Compared to emotionally manipulative films like Jack and especially the terribly pretentious Bicentennial Man, it did the whole “Main character goes on a journey and experiences life all the way to his death”, a lot better and more genuine.

[@TonyGoldmark]

Yeah, I liked it a lot too. I especially liked the sequence about all the random chance that led to Cate Blanchett getting hit by a car.

[@thesapphireone]

@@TonyGoldmark Aw, thanks!

[@BugsyFoga]

The film that proves great directors won't always make good movies every time .

[@mrcritical6751]

It sucks that this series is now on hiatus, just a question what did The Smart House select after Pinocchio?

[@TonyGoldmark]

Nothing. We don't record that part until we're JUST about to record the next episode.

[@daelen.cclark]

For the record, they eventually chose an episode of the Little Mermaid cartoon. #crabexperiments

[@timrob12]

Well, whaddya know. Apparantly a lot of the creative people I admire have asperger, just like me. And I love your talking about how people use it as an excuse because I know that I can sometimes make my wording difficult because of my autism, especially in written arguments in the comment sections of videos like these (hell, even know I'm trying to find the right wording). And often, when things have either gone way out of hand or really confusing, I tell to people: "Hey, don't take this the wrong way. I didn't want to start an argument, but I have autism and had difficulty wording what I wanted to say." (not that exact sentence, but you get the point). But when I write that, I do sometimes think that others think that I'm using it as an excuse. Basicly I want to say, I understand the problem and have experienced in the opposite way you describe in this video.

[@ChapLagoon417]

I actually did an “initiation mix” as a kid with a bunch of condiments and liquids! I guess I fit the demographic... I also thought this was a good movie before, maybe the mix messes with kids memories for movies?

[@daelen.cclark]

Probably. Might wanna get that looked at.

[@christheleavittman7080]

I'm surprised 22:21-22:45 didn't make it into Kill Bosby: The Complete Saga

[@TonyGoldmark]

That video is just for videos, not podcasts with stills.

[@GiVeNuP96]

I love this movie didn’t realize it had a LOL

[@johnvinals7423]

What’s a LOL?

[@cyanmanta]

I remember seeing this back in the day. I just didn't get what it was going for. I didn't hate it at the time, but there was nothing about it I liked. If I were to watch it again knowing what I know now, I'd probably hate it.

[@gamestation2690]

A lot about this movie just makes me feel uncomfortable. Part of it probably is the overly dramatic and saccharine musical score. Especially during Jack's birth.

[@Alex_DC413]

I was waiting for this one! I must confess, I actually liked this movie as a kid because of the hijinks and pretty much the first half. However, I kinda see your point of saying it's for no one because that maudlin second half was such a turn-off back then.

[@Starwarsdude8221991]

I remember seeing this movie I got a few seconds in saw Robin hurt himself and act like a child and quickly shut it off

[@Teag_Brohman15]

why are so many bad movies made by people who have no idea what human beings are or what they do?

[@beethovensfidelio]

Like Tommy Wiseau?

[@gmanz8487]

Maybe Coppola had a bad case of amnesia

[@Jonathanest90s]

I was just watching Jack a moment ago.

[@daelen.cclark]

Were you being punished for something?

[@Jonathanest90s]

@@daelen.cclark yep

[@giovannialvarez9289]

I recently I was told by ether or both Coppola worshipers and MCU haters that this movie along side TWIXT and Finnegan's Rainbow are better than any 'capeshit'. I'm glad Paul T. Anderson wasn't afraid to say Venom 2 was fun.

[@bhunt799]

I miss Robin Williams.

[@sirrliv]

13:00 Tony, we know who you're talking about (at least your older fans know). We're okay with you namedropping Kyle Kallgren. P.S. If Kyle's not okay with you namedropping him in relation to his older work, sorry. I'll delete this comment if that's the case. My bad, didn't mean to start anything.

[@TonyGoldmark]

I wasn't referring to Kyle.

How come you can't make a seperate YT channel for EFVD. I think it'll give more people easy access to episodes.
