| 0:36.7 | The rewatchables brought to by the Ringer Network, where you can find the Ringer Fantasy Football Show with Craig Horleback. You're also at the end of the town with Matt Bellany. And you're on this podcast as well. You produce it. Everyone's while we bring you in as a host. It's a big day. Zach Lowe's first rewatchables ever. What's happening? Zach Lowe you can find on the Zach Lowe show. Show. We call it the Zach Lowe show. Yeah. Now you're calling the Z-Lo show. It's just short for, I gotta say my characters on social media, you know? Yeah, which is also, by the way, on Netflix. It is. And you do Mets Corners. that people know you for basketball and Mets Corner. They don't know you for the movies. |
| 1:28.6 | This is a lot of pressure for you. It's good start now. I got a lot of takes on pop culture that I've been waiting to unleash on various ringer shows. Zach Lowe sends me a list of the movies he want to do. Some of them were not surprising. And then second at the top, Ace Ventura. |
| 1:31.2 | And I was like, wow, I'm going to file that one away. |
| 1:32.8 | Ace Ventura is next. Ace Ventura. Why? |
| 1:50.2 | Formative. I mean, I was, I think, 16 when it came out, maybe 15. |
| 1:55.8 | Formative to my comedic sensibilities. |
| 1:58.9 | Has some extremely problematic elements that 16-year-old me was not |
| 2:03.3 | prepared to grapple with at the time. But just I became a Jim Carrey superfan. I was already a |
| 2:10.2 | Jim Carrey super fan from him live in color, but it's just the weirdest, most ridiculous. There's |
| 2:15.8 | no way this movie should ever have been made. There's no way it should work. There's just no way it should even exist in the world. And it's awesome. Craig? You're younger. Yeah, I probably saw it when I was nine, ten years old, I guess so in the early 2000s. But Kerry was right in that range with like Farley, Sandler, Mike Myers, as all these guys who just committed to the bit. Yeah. And they were, I mean, and Carrie in particular is like a human cartoon. I mean, his face has made a rubber. And the commitment to the bit is just something that has completely aged out and nobody does what he's doing anymore. You just like wind him up and watch him go. Like, I don't even know if the movie's good, but you just sit back and you watch Jim Carrey do this. And when you watch other things, you know, about him in the 90s and stuff like that, you realize that he's not really doing a character, Ace Venture, just is Jim Carrey. It's like stand up from him in the early 90s. And he walks out and he goes, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jim Carrey and how are you this evening? All righty then. And that was him three years before. Like he just, this is him. Like 10 years before. Can I give you my Jim Carrey? So Zach and I, we've had this burning bid. I don't know where it started. It started my column or did in a podcast |
| 3:24.4 | we did about islands and stock. It started with Dion Waiters. I think Dion Waiters is ground zero |
| 3:30.5 | for the island slash island adjacent. And now, so people always ask or newer to the rewatchables, |
| 3:36.3 | who's Deion Waiters? Because we have the Deion Waiters Award for Biggest Heat Check. It started because Zach and I felt like we were the only two people that liked Deon Waiters. And we started Waiters Island. It got to the point where I have a Waiters Island t-shirt. So do I. It's red. Somebody gave it to us? Yeah. It's got like Gilligan's Island font. They clearly ripped off to Gilligan's Island font. So when I was a kid in the 80s, I would, I just would like people and would not understand |
| 4:01.7 | why they didn't become more famous. |
