Can't Hardly Wait Minute

Well here we are. At the end of the movie. Thus completing our third minute movie podcast. Thanks so much for coming on this ride with us. In this episode, we talk about the random scene that interrupts The Replacements and the credits. And how we could improve it. We also come up with about 50 new head canons (actual amount of head canons may vary) Thanks so much. See you next time!

In this episode, Erin likes the way one of the characters reacts to some smooches but doesn’t like how the other character reacts to the smooches, which could definitely be more LivTyleresque. We consider how some of the cast might not be all that pleasant in real life and also do some casting of a different movie with characters from this one! James does a flawless impression.

We gaze longingly into the future of next week’s minutes, and into the alternate future where certain things were removed from this movie so that we could have the podcast end on a Friday.

After we recorded this, we decided that Preston’s workshop was probably a summer-long event but there was a single lecture or panel with Kurt Vonnegut, which was the reason Preston applied and is still enough for him to refer to the entire workshop as his workshop with Kurt Vonnegut. That doesn’t really have *much* to do with this minute, but it does answer a lot of questions we have.

Amanda does some detective work. James and Erin feel old. James crafts some extremely good head canons that are 100% absolutely correct and legit.

We are still at the Epilogue Diner, and Mike is still a jerk. We realize that there is a glaring question we have never once thought to ask, in all our years of loving this movie. Erin’s brain leaks out her ears at the end of this episode.

Philosophical debates about fate, a search for what Peter Facinelli would look like with a mustache, and a surprising cameo from two enterprising real estate agents!

Spoilers for In Good Company, The Graduate, and Can’t Hardly Wait In this episode, James is a super romantic, starry-eyed dreamer and for sure not a total downer of a realist. Definitely not that. Also, The most comprehensive summary of the movie In Good Company that you’re going to hear on a by-the-minute podcast about the 1998 Graduation Party Classic Can’t Hardly Wait. Then we try to figure out what tropes the Denise-Kenny relationship checks off.

The conversation between Preston and Denise continues. Turns out there's cursing in this movie. And Preston uses a term incorrectly. But is that by design? Also, James says he doesn't feel like doing something and then he IMMEDIATELY does that thing. Oh, James. When will you learn?

This is the episode that we run into every movie where we realize that the timeline presented in the movie doesn't make a lot of sense, so we spend a lot of time discussing how long Preston and William slept between the night and the morning. We also discuss how this minute begins the best scene with Preston and Denise! Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this episode we discuss nontoxic masculinity, Huntingdon's grisly crime sprees, James tells a story of how he lost a bunch of CDs and wasn't affected in basically any way, and we have a talk about vanities!

William wakes up in an unexpected place. Are he and Mike even now? Who is Derisa? Optimist James is optimistic, and maybe also a Transformer.

Kenny and Denise make up. And out. (Awkward kisses are awkward.) That’s the minute, so we play a round of FMK. Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Oops, this dropped super late because Erin forgot to edit and post because she was so excited about Inauguration Day 2021. She'd apologize, but she feels justified. Almost this entire minute is a single scene, on the streets of Huntingdon, in which Kenny and Denise continue their conversation from the bathroom. We’re really mad that Kenny Fisher is a fictional character. Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Denise, in her insufferably Denise way, brings out Kenny’s Hulk form. Girl Whose Party It Is delivers an INCREDIBLE performance, and is possibly covered in hummus.

We meet some cops—three of them—and then write a beer commercial. James tells us about minced oaths. This minute contains a towel that is the source of great confusion and frustration for Erin, and has been since her first viewing of this movie. Then we plan out Kenny’s future.

We close out the week with the X-Philes "humiliating" their prey. We talk a lot about what we're supposed to feel about this and maybe what they were thinking and maybe some assumptions they were making due to their lack of knowledge. We also talk about Sno Balls and "Let's Get Out of Here!" (And I mention this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taZwviU0sy0 Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

This episode is a short one, but boy does it pack a punch! Mike helps Willie/Bill/Billy escape the house. W/B/B provides his own piano soundtrack. Property gets damaged. A plan is remembered. A plan is executed to the letter. Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Today starts with Kenny and Denise banging (their heads on sink pipes) and ends with the party scattering to a classic pop-punk song (It's Dammit. The song is Dammit). We talk about lots of stuff, but a lot of what we talk about is Dammit. And also gushing about Kenny and Denise, but like, would this even BE CHWM if we didn't do that?

This episode turned out to be a doozy. We had your standard episode stuff: party stuff, weirdly racist stuff (both in front of and behind the camera,), makeout stuff. You know. Standard CHW stuff. And then James fell down a rabbit hole. And then we enlisted the help of our friends Tracy, Kyle, Daniel, Morgan, and Mason to help us make this a VERY special episode indeed.

In today's minute, William mixes idioms, Mike apologizes, James is eating paper, and Erin and James debate who would find therapy more benficial: Voldemort or Draco Malfoy.

James digs up some wild trivia on beer. We discuss proper yearbook signing techniques. A new song plays, one which will be indelibly linked in our minds to Ethan Embry.

Today’s talking points: Shoes. That’s it, that’s the episode. (Jk, there’s also some info about a 311 song.) Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

We talk a lot about 90s pop songs and acid-wash jeans, and James misreads his notes a number of times. Other talking points: contents of the sex backpack, slightly warmed cocaine lozenges, putting other people’s belongings near your face, fashion faux pas.

We spend some time with transitional transitions in this episode. William is drunk. Or high. Or both. Either way, Charlie Korsmo puts in a powerhouse performance, and we'd rather just pretend the X-Philes don't exist for this minute.

We’re back! Apologies for the impromptu hiatus caused by Erin’s computer dying unexpectedly. In this minute, Preston does an oops and Amanda doesn’t take it well. But while she misinterprets his intentions, she’s spot-on in her assessment of how he has spent the past four years of his life. Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Mike will kick everyone's ass in this episode, but no one seems to pay that any mind. Then, a bunch of Guys (Horny Guy, Stoner Guy, Reminiscing Guy, and Anonymous Guy) are gross. But wait, Mrs. Williams has a phone call!

This episode is about a minute that is mostly nice. But then there's the part that James has been dreading for the whole movie. But before we talk about that, we both have a brilliantly dumb thing that Mike says to Amanda that is our favorite.

In this episode, we have the resolution of Mike's "generous offer" for Amanda. James has a hypothetical for Erin and Erin has an FMK for James!

This episode is one where the events of it stretch over two days, so we talk about the lead up to this. How a hug is not the same as a kiss with tongue and so forth. All of which leads up to tomorrow's episode and then Thursday and Friday's aftermath. Also discussed in this episode: Black Lab and David Spade.

Mike's looking for Amanda, but she's talking to two knuckleheads about Preston and what words you could use to describe him....if you wanted to group him in with every single other teen boy on the planet. Look out for extended discussions about Sublime, Early Teenage Girl Aggression, Are Watermelons Gourds?, and Dinosaurs!

Today James tells us a little bit about the history of the Delta Iota Kappa (DIK) fraternity, which apparently exists, as well as the phrase “a dime a dozen”. Erin discovers a new voice she can do.

William's performance only gets more and more epic. He catches the eye of two impressed onlookers and then gets a little bit of a boost from Rowan Atkinson (in James's head canon) Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The band finishes breaking up and one partygoer takes the initiative to salvage the musi--William decides it's time for Karaoke. Also in this episode James and Erin agree with Axl Rose and that feels weird.

In this episode, The Angel's chariot awaits, Preston is ready to take a chance again, and someone in the band takes the fall. (That sounds like the description of an episode that you'd read in like a TV Guide). Then James and Erin discuss the simple-sounding, but very complicated, question of "What time is it?"

This episode contains a beautiful description of Scott Baio, a hilarious misunderstanding, a Simpsons quote, and 2 FMK's. It's a short episode, but packed with quality content.

Talking points: The golden age of Disney, Scott Baio and everything he’s been in. That’s it, that’s the episode. James tells Erin about Scott Baio and then we do social media. But we do it all, like, super delightfully.

What is the difference between a stripper and an exotic dancer? Is hummus exotic? Preston continues to suck, just, so much, and the Angel continues to be a delight. James sends Erin into a glass case of emotion.

Jenna Elfman is a rockstar and we love her in this movie. Preston’s only real redeeming quality is that he’s played by Ethan Embry. What sort of emergency would make calling Barry Manilow more important than calling a cab?

In this episode, we leave Amanda (or does she leave us?) searching for the author of the letter and we head over to Preston on the cool side of town where he is about to have an encounter with the a supernatural figure from the heavens!!!!! For no reason whatsoever, here's the link to the "Halo" Depeche Mode video (which you'll noticed I described with my trademark wrong details that aren't in the video (but that smile (?) is still gold)): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEH4eqtK8SU Theme Song: "Riptide" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this episode, Preston gets excited and races over to the nearest........it says here "Pay" "Phone"? Whatever that is...because Barry Manilow is calling the local radio station from Japan! Also Amanda is still right where we left her. All this, a movie recommendation from one of us and some career advice for JLH!

In this episode, we talk about how hard it is for kids that have been friends in elementary school to stay friends in the face of having different levels of classes in middle school or even just being in middle school in general. Then we talk about Preston's brooding and what he hears on the radio. And then we celebrate a birthday!!!

CW/TW: Brief discussion of a tv plot that involves child molestation This minute is full of Denise recounting her history with Kenny, so we go in depth on a couple of the things she mentions and we are both fairly punchy, so this is a particularly entertaining (AND educational) episode!
