Ah november 2022. Where I post on tumblr about a film no one has ever watched but wants to, and I listen to a podcast about a film no one has ever seen, and no one wants to
According to Bob Clendenin, who plays Muhrtelle, the black banana wasn’t actually rotten, but rather a ripe banana placed in a banana that had been lying on set
When Blart tells Veck to “slap for respect” Veck doesn’t slap the code of honor, subtly showing that he is the villian
The convention scene, known by fans as the “Checklov’s Gun Convention” is notorious for every single weapon shown in the scene being used later on in the film. Most notably, The big sticky mess; a gun that shoots out GLUE FOAM
every year i think “this year i will watch paul blart mall cop 2 before the new deathbart ep drops” and then every year i subsequently think “no wait actually it’s funnier if i don’t”
Okay now that I’ve finally listened to this year’s “Til Death Do Us Blart” I have to say I’m so obsessed with how much they always stress at the end of the ep that if one of them dies they WILL bring in a replacement instantly and continue the bit even if everyone else is grieving the loss of one of their close friends/family members
It suddenly occurs to me that, like, I could watch Paul Blart Mall Cop 2…
but then I’ll never be able to go back to a version of myself that has not seen Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and that is something I’m not sure I can handle right now.
Hello! Since we’re moving rapidly towards the annual release of deathblart as well as our own end, I have chosen to celebrate by sharing how I’m preparing for the new episode this year!
Now for those unfamiliar I have a tendency to challenge myself every year when a new episode comes out. 2021 I watched PB2 once a month. In 2022 I watched the movie followed by the podcast, but watched it an additional time per podcas(so movie once, podcast, movie twice, podcast, movie three times and so on).
In total I’ve watched the movie 48 times, not counting the maybe once or twice I saw it before discovering the podcast. For reference, by my count the boys have seen the movie 8 times each, except Travis and guy who I believe have seen it 9 times. This means that I’ve seen the movie 6 times more than the whole cast of Til Death Do Us Blart combined.
Thought now that you know I’m somewhat of an expert let’s get back to the actual point of the post.
This year I decided to slow down, enjoy myself, so I’m simply watching the movie once and listening to one of the episodes everyday until thanksgiving. This means that by the time we reach thanksgiving on the 23rd I’ll have watched the movie 6 more times.
My friends say I have a problem I just think I’m neurodivergent and willing to go above and beyond for the bit.
Thank you for reading and feel free to share your annual rituals I’d love to hear:))
Horrifying realization today as I continue my yearly binge of deathblart and someone abbreviated Paul Blart Mall Cop as PBMC, which also stands for peripheral blood mononucleocites, a type of cell i work with frequently. This information will now haunt me every time I pull them from the freezer
