Initially, I wasn't super into the narration. I'm not a big fan of voiceover, it has to really fit perfectly, and I didn't really think it was needed here at first. But Gonzo and Rizzo won me over pretty fast. They quickly feel both necessary and not at all in the way of the story, which is a good trick of writing. And of course this

Let us get this party started

I'm out of here!

I'm thinking i might just stick around here

now I can get used to THIS

@Cameron H. is a wizard!

Oh you guys are leaving? Speak on that! haha remember? like from show!

I meant to say earlier, but I really wanted agree with how deftly Gonzo and Rizzo weave in and out of the story. They provide exactly the right amount of exposition and humor. And when things take a turn to dark, they know to excuse themselves from the narrative.

You beat me to it! haha! see ya!

Bye!

I stumbled across this movie the other night. Yikes.

That is an excellent point and I admit I was taken in by it. I didn't research that when I posted my comment, although I did see that it had been available on VHS and such. On reflection it is weird that there were multiple videos on YouTube for a supposedly "missing" song. So much for my critical thinking skills.

The first time I saw it, it was included. Shortly after that, I found out from friends that it was originally cut and I'm not sure any version I've watched since then has it. I've never missed it. I just think it's weird that every few years, there's a story about "here's the song you didn't see!" when it was very available on multiple formats.

I don’t hate it. But, then again, it’s been included in every version I’ve ever seen, so it’s always just been a part of it for me.

I'm curious what people think of the song When Love Is Gone. It was cut from the theatrical version but it's sometimes on home media and streaming versions of the movie. I think the Disney+ version includes it. Personally, I don't like it since it doesn't fit the feel of the rest of the movie.

As for this one, the idea of using Gonzo and Rizzo as narrators is genius. They're both such wonderful comic relief and get a lot of the exposition out of the way to make room for songs and character development. I love how unique the three spirits all look, and how genuine Caine's performance is. He goes from being the perfect embodiment of the greedy Scrooge archetype to a joyous lover of humanity in such a believable way. And hell, this is probably the best Tiny Tim: a mythological ideal of childlike innocence, one impossible to create with an actual human child. But an adorable little frog puppet? Holy shit, I believe in that Tiny Tim. He's like Baby Yoda, buy fuzzy and with an adorable singing voice!

If you’ve got Adamantium claws then don’t wipe your ass angry

I would love for Conan to interview Sacha Baron Cohen on the podcast. I'm sure it would be brilliantly insightful and funny. Thanks for the show!

Exhaustive List: JACK WHITE PLEASE! Multiple episodes if possible. I love their (friend) love. Still rewatch the Serious Jibber Jabber interview. Brian Stack Lorraine Bracco, to talk about how much she loved Brian McCann playing Minty (loved that episode) Brian McCann Leslie Jones David Cross Anna Drezen Joel McHale Michelle Buteau Andy Daly Reggie Watts Armie Hammer Hannibal Burress Cole Escola Jason Bateman Patti Harrison Kevin Nealon Part II (I can't stop replaying this episode) RuPaul Aisha Tyler Dave Franco Carrie Brownstein Amy Sedaris Paul F. Tompkins Robin Thede Mary Lynn Rajskub Mindy Kaling Karen Kilgariff Tim Heidecker Eric Wareheim Zach Woods Seriously, JACK WHITE

Ever since I heard Conan mention his scientist Dad (I'm a scientist myself), I was curious about him. Now I've heard and read more about him and I really want Dr O'Brien on the podcast!

CONAN'S DAD: Dr. Thomas Francis O'Brien, MD I'm an MD/PhD student and am a huge fam of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. We're really swamped with COVID-19 patients these days. However, Conan brings a smile to many of the medical students, residents, and attending physicians when they have a chance to listen. Major thanks to Conan for keeping us sane. I only recently realized that I grew up knowing about Dr. Thomas Francis O'Brien's work on multidrug bacterial resistance years before I started watching the show. Conan's dad, Dr. Thomas Francis O'Brien, is such a pioneering figure and I hope Conan could have his dad on the podcast sometime soon to chat about COVID-19 and infectious disease things. I think it would make a lot of medical and science people happy to hear from him with Conan. Thanks!

Did we ever find out if tv is movies?
