Ansel. Hey, welcome. I'm Ansel Burch.

Ben Banks 0:08

I'm Ben Banks.

Sarah Moore 0:09

I'm Sarah Moore,

Ansel Burch 0:10

and it's Time 2 Party. We are not doctors. We don't give medical advice. Please drink responsibly, ya heathens, today's episode was recorded on July 1, 2025, month. That's right, that's right. You had it good for June, July. They're coming. I'm here to enable it. I

Sarah Moore 0:40

was right,

Ansel Burch 0:41

guys, it's so good to be back and talking about this movie. I'm excited. Just sort of like, let this one range. So let's just dive in with a another fantastic synopsis of the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's port. It gets me

Ben Banks 0:57

every time. And this one moves me.

Sarah Moore 1:05

So good and so dumb. This

Ansel Burch 1:09

one's a little bit better. This has got a little bit more to it, but only a little bit. This one's coming from Rotten Tomatoes following a head injury sustained during a storm. Hank, Martin Bing Crosby comes to Camelot in the year 528, thought to be a criminal, Hank is brought before King Arthur, Cedric Hardwick and the evil magician Merlin Mervin vi using his knowledge of technology, Hank convinces everyone that he has special powers after falling for the lovely Alessandra, Rhonda Fleming Hank must duel with her fiance, Lancelot, Henry Wilcoxon and save the king from Merlin's fiendish steam.

Sarah Moore 1:52

Yeah,

Ansel Burch 1:54

it wins. It's longer, but I don't feel like it's more accurate.

Ben Banks 1:58

No, there's some, some in between the lines, things that happen there, yeah,

Sarah Moore 2:03

yeah. But I mean, I guess technically, all of those things did happen in

Ansel Burch 2:08

all those things did happen in that or even, yeah,

Ben Banks 2:11

wow.

Sarah Moore 2:12

Um, I have to say, one of the things that immediately irked me about the movie is that Bing Crosby's character Hank, just like, refused to call elizonda by her name, yes, gave her a new one. It was just like, just like a new one, just like, kind of close to what a nickname would have been for Elizondo, but not really. It just smacked of that, like that seems too hard to say for me, so I'm just gonna call I also wonder if very American name,

Ansel Burch 2:53

yeah. I also wonder if it, it maybe smacked differently in the period, because it feels like the sort of thing that, that it might have shown up in, like it's a wonderful life, or something, you know, like, like, okay, you know, I'm just gonna decide, I'm just gonna decide to give you a nickname. I'm not saying it's right, but he just decides to give her a name. I'm gonna call you Sandy. Is the line that he gives I was like, what? Out of nowhere, there's no like, Hey, I tried to say your name. It's too long. I can't figure it out. I'm gonna call you Sandy. Like, that's your name. You're gonna deal with it. Oh, big. And

Ben Banks 3:33

then a little wink and a smile, nah, yeah.

Ansel Burch 3:36

Is that just a thing that people did in the 50s? I don't know. I

Sarah Moore 3:40

mean, I guess maybe it's just a thing Bing Crosby did, because that's he also did that to set was his name, sir, Sagamore. Sagamore, was that right? Yeah, he called him saggy. Called him saggy, and that was not something that other people called him, yeah,

Ansel Burch 3:58

from word one to like, the guy is threatening you and you're deciding to call him saggy.

Sarah Moore 4:06

Yeah. Also, what a crazy story that saggy had when he came back and was like, it was a bunch of creatures. This is a dragon. I was like,

Ben Banks 4:17

This guy's a dragon. This guy right here, yep, fought a bunch of ogres and, yeah, demons, and then this guy's left.

Ansel Burch 4:26

What, what do we think saggies deal is? Is he like, like a storyteller? Is that like, what I don't I don't think I understood what, the what we were supposed to get out of that whole thing, aside from saggy giving him an air of mystery.

Ben Banks 4:46

I think he's kind of low on the wrong there. And he was trying to, yeah, trying to climb on up landslides, his street, swords and tables, yeah.

Sarah Moore 4:59

He was. But he honestly, to me, it just felt like somebody's cousin that they were like, We have to let him be here, you know, like we promised, yeah, I promised my brother I would take care of his kid, yeah, yeah, he's got to be here. That is what it that is what it felt like he seemed. He seemed like a sweet boy, not overly bright.

Ben Banks 5:27

No, he was betrayed by his squire. That cracked me up.

Ansel Burch 5:36

Oh, God, can we take it? Can we take a second while we're talking about saggy and saggies, poor decision making to just, let's just jump straight to the scene where he points a gun at his face. A bunch of times that

Ben Banks 5:51

had my heart racing.

Sarah Moore 5:53

Oh my god. I was so uncomfortable.

Ben Banks 5:57

I thought we were about to see

Ansel Burch 5:58

how light hearted is this

Sarah Moore 5:59

movie. I definitely was like, are we about to watch somebody get shot in the face, like they this will be funny, kind of,

Ansel Burch 6:14

well. And I was thinking, Okay, well, we're in the third act. Things do have to get worse for like, Yeah, this is this how it gets worse. Is he just accidentally murders saggy by not explaining what this thing will do to him.

Sarah Moore 6:30

I know. I was like, take it with you. My god,

Ben Banks 6:34

yeah, yeah. That

Sarah Moore 6:37

was he was like, Don't touch it. And I was like, just take it with you. Jesus.

Ansel Burch 6:44

Why is it out of your possession?

Sarah Moore 6:46

Yeah, for those of you who have not seen the movie yet, he builds a gun. He just makes one, like,

Ansel Burch 6:56

hammers it on an amor. Is it, you know, like,

Sarah Moore 6:58

with a with, like, a wooden handle and everything. Just like, takes a blacksmith's hammer and just like, smacks a few times, and then there's a gun with all of the internal workings and bullets he makes bullets, which he then

Ansel Burch 7:16

decides to demonstrate in a room full of children.

Ben Banks 7:19

That was hilarious. Did I say, Mr. What's that? He's, oh, you just gotta just, what are you doing, dude?

Sarah Moore 7:29

Hey, kids, you want to see something cool, yeah. And then he was like, Oh, you don't have to go away. And I was like, they do. You have a gun. No. Man,

Ansel Burch 7:42

yeah, keep that. Keep that self preservation instinct in there, that they're gonna need that.

Sarah Moore 7:48

And it was the same kids from the beginning who did that was musical number.

Ansel Burch 7:53

Didn't notice that. I was pleasantly surprised that they did not do a second musical number. Let's I feel

Sarah Moore 8:01

like there was probably one prepped for that gun scene that they just like, you know, sometimes you don't have enough time.

Ansel Burch 8:09

You got to cut it for time. Yeah, cut it. So as we talk more about the film, let's, let's get into some highlights. What are the things that sort of stood out the most as as positives for you. And let's start with Ben, what was, what was your favorite thing about this piece of cinema? It

Ben Banks 8:28

was very charming. I just had a smile on my face the whole time, like it was just so light hearted and fun. It just kind of flowed, like it was just like a really nice vibe. And just kind of like I was getting a little concerned, because seeing where the plot was going and looking at the runtime, I was like, how are they gonna resolve all of this going on with, like, what, eight minutes left? I was like, huh there? Okay, they just kind of, he woke up randomly, yeah. But other than that, like, it just had a really nice, like just kind of pacing and flow to it. I really enjoyed that.

Ansel Burch 9:04

Yeah, I have to agree with that. It reminded me of my one of my favorite movies of all time, which is the court jester with Danny Kaye, which also has a very similar level of I love Danny Kaye. Danny Kaye can do no wrong, truly. What a

Sarah Moore 9:20

delightful performer, truly like I just loved watching him always.

Ansel Burch 9:31

How about how about you? Sarah, what was your What are your highlights for the film?

Sarah Moore 9:34

I mean, I thought it was, I agree with you that it's very charming, but I also thought that it was very pretty to look at in that like very classic Hollywood boy. We're not sure what to do with all of this money, kind of way. You know, the sets were very elaborate and. Beautiful and clean and sparkly, and the costumes were all really pretty. The Painted, like, set extension backdrops were, like, clearly painted set extension backdrops, but like, done in a really good way. Like, like, we're on a soundstage, but like, it all looks the way that it's supposed to, in that sort of fairy tale mythos kind of way. You know, costumes were lovely and sparkly, and I also, and I'm not sure if this is what happened this time, but the dress that Sandy in the modern day wears is incredibly reminiscent of the dress that that Judy Garland wears in meet me in St Louis in the big fancy scene, like the one that you always see her in and in the production stills and everything for and meet me in St Louis was In 1944 so it's very possible that it could actually have been the same dress, because that is a thing that they did in Hollywood, in that in that era. I mean, they still do it honestly, but especially then, because when they were like, cranking out all of these studio these studio films, there just wasn't as much time to hand make everything, I mean, down to the parasol, like, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same, same costume. Yeah,

Ansel Burch 11:34

I just did a quick Google on Meet me at St Louis. And, yeah, that is uncanny.

Sarah Moore 11:39

Yeah, she came on the screen. And I was like, Hey, is that

Sarah Moore 11:49

I would be, I would actually be really interested to know who, who costumed both of these films.

Ansel Burch 11:58

Well, we can find out. Let's see

Unknown Speaker 12:08

costume. Where are you?

Ansel Burch 12:13

Mary Kay Dodson

Sarah Moore 12:14

for Connecticut, Yankee,

Ansel Burch 12:15

Connecticut, Yankee.

Sarah Moore 12:18

Irene sheraf did meet me in St Louis. That doesn't necessarily mean. What about the studio? Yeah, I wonder what studio it was. This is a paramount meet me in St Louis is. MGM,

Ansel Burch 12:30

Oh, interesting. So somebody had to remake that exact same freaking dress.

Sarah Moore 12:35

I mean, maybe not. You know if they were, if Paramount was done with it. They might have, there's a lot of like, that's true. They may have sold it on costume shops, you know, around that that time that you could do, or they were like, I mean, they also took a lot of inspiration from each other. It's a good look. It's a good look. I'm not surprised they they copied it also like, set around that same time period. So it makes a lot of sense. Anyway, I've derailed us enough. It was pretty. That was the long winded way of saying. I would have thought it

Ansel Burch 13:07

was pretty, talking about here, yeah, that's a good answer. I like it's pretty. And I think you're absolutely right. They were reveling in, you know, being able to do everything in Technicolor. They were reveling in having, you know, the opulence of, you know, a Bing Crosby joint at the height of Bing Crosby's Crosby Ness,

Sarah Moore 13:28

yeah. And I also just think that, like, it's so I am a sucker for, like, a, like a classic musical like that. I just really love. It's, obviously, is not a thing that ever happens. But there's some like, you know, I will watch Singing in the Rain whenever, like, just put, put some songs up on the screen, please. In a way that is not it doesn't happen now. And like, not that you can't have a musical because they've sort of made a revival about it. But it's just, it's not that feeling. It's a different time. Very clearly,

Ansel Burch 14:14

yeah, yeah. It's, I think musicals have become more self aware, for starters, which

Sarah Moore 14:21

is great, like, I am also here for that, but,

Ansel Burch 14:27

but in a way that it removes the you're not going to get stub your toe on the moon in a modern musical.

Sarah Moore 14:34

No, absolutely not.

Ansel Burch 14:37

Like, um, I think we, we remember too well, perhaps that the the axiom for a musical, right, is, you know, when you the the emotions are so high that you have to sing, right? Yes, and so, so we're, we're, we're so focused on on bringing out those character moments that we're not just like. Having a fun little song because it's neat, just because it's

Sarah Moore 15:04

just because, like you guys, we should have Bing sing again. He, he's great at it. We just put a we just put one here.

Ansel Burch 15:13

We don't have any exposition to do. But no, you know,

Sarah Moore 15:17

you guys, we got a bunch of kids. Do we want to include the kids. Let's include the kids. We got

Ansel Burch 15:22

them until tomorrow. They sent kids in

Sarah Moore 15:24

Yeah, put them in there. Yeah. Just fun. I just

Ansel Burch 15:30

like, yeah, delightful stuff. And I have to agree, I think that that would be my big high point, as well as harkening back again to to admitting that my, one of my favorite movies is court jester. There's something about this era of high fantasy, low research, uh, historical movies that is just endlessly delightful to me, it

Sarah Moore 16:00

it feels like, like the parts of the King Arthur legend that they took, feels like your friend got drunk at a party and told you, while drunk, some of the big, broad strokes of The King Arthur legend, and so, like, things have gotten a little muddled. Like, I know Ben you brought up that, like, Isn't Morgana, usually his sister, and most of them, like, and here she was his niece. And it just in my brain. It's like somebody had read the King Arthur legend, and then somebody mentioned something that triggered something in a partner. And he was like, Oh my God, no, you guys listening. This is my favorite thing. This is cool. Okay, and then there was King Arthur. Is this guy, right? There was this guy. And then, like, there's kind of a Lancelot. Was cool. He could, like, throw anvils and stuff. It was amazing. Yeah, exactly what it felt like. It's very on brand for our drinking and smoking rules. I think maybe,

Ansel Burch 17:12

although I will say, I gotta respect that in their drunken retelling of Arthur, they did somehow do some real deep cut poles on the Knights of the table round, because sat sagramore and low risk do not get a lot of play in most of the legends. Yeah. Legit Arthurian names. No reason you would have, I don't. I actually had to look up Sagar more low risk I remember from, I want to say the Green Knight, but, yeah, they are obscure.

Ben Banks 17:50

Clarence Sagar,

Ansel Burch 17:55

that's fun. How about downsides? What are the things we didn't appreciate about this movie? I'll start. I wish, I wish Sandy had had opinions earlier in the film. Yeah, yeah. Motivation to be mine,

Sarah Moore 18:11

yeah. I mean, to be fair, that I'm sure that that, that it was like, it doesn't matter what she wants, because this is Bing's movie, yeah, you know, like, that's, that's definitely what it felt like,

Ansel Burch 18:25

well, and to a certain extent, I kind of that would have been cool if there had been more of a comeuppance for Bing, because that is kind of what happens, is like, she says no. He's like, Yeah, but did you mean it? And then she's like, No, but for real, though, this is bad for you. It's bad for me. It's a bad look. He's like, Ah, don't you worry about it. I got it. He's not coming for ages.

Sarah Moore 18:53

Yeah, that, like casual misogyny really is for me, when I was just like, damn. But I mean, it is very a product of its time, right? Like that is how women were treated in the 40s. Like I get it would be cool if that was not true. But yeah, here we are.

Ansel Burch 19:19

So I would have enjoyed it more if there hadn't been so much of that. Yeah, but that's kind of low hanging fruit. I'm sure there's something else I didn't

Sarah Moore 19:26

like. I mean, the big plot hole for me was that he knew how to build a gun.

Ben Banks 19:32

Yeah, that was wild. That's absolutely wild. I don't understand.

Sarah Moore 19:37

Why did you know how to do that? Like, why would you know how to do that on an anvil? On an anvil, yeah,

Ben Banks 19:43

if he could do that back in his home time, good, gracious merchant of death.

Sarah Moore 19:50

He was a blacksmith until there were cars, and then he became a car mechanic, which somehow translates into knowing how to build. Or a gun, yeah.

Ansel Burch 20:03

And also not a super good car mechanic. Let's remember, no, the cat

Ben Banks 20:10

was in the way. Oh,

Ansel Burch 20:12

that was a cat in the way.

Sarah Moore 20:14

That was crazy. He's just like, pulled the cat out of some part of the car. And I was like, Whoa, that poor cat, are you alive?

Ben Banks 20:22

Yeah, yep, I did put them on note. I was like, How is this cat still alive after all that? Bless his heart.

Ansel Burch 20:34

What a choice. I think Merlin's plot could have been more clear. Yeah, he wasn't

Ben Banks 20:43

in it much.

Sarah Moore 20:44

I didn't Merlin. Didn't seem like he had a plot. He was just

Ansel Burch 20:48

kind of kissing up to plotting. We saw him plotting.

Sarah Moore 20:52

It was very funny when they showed focusing the light to cause fire. God yes, yeah, that was great.

Ansel Burch 20:59

Do you think? Do you think people in the 40s wouldn't have gotten that if they hadn't spent quite so long explaining it like, did we need that much time?

Speaker 1 21:09

Yeah, we did focus a lot on how some of the minute things work, like the magnet. And he gives a pretty long definition of like for the safety pin. I was like, we know what a safety pin is. Like, we get it.

Sarah Moore 21:23

The magnet was so incredibly powerful. I was like, how are you pulling that thing across the room? Like, that is a hell of a magnet. Man,

Ansel Burch 21:37

it's a good magnet. Well, magnets, you know, they're basically

Speaker 1 21:42

magic, right? Of course, that's what I heard. Yeah, yeah. Also, where did he get it? He was he just tearing away. He

Ansel Burch 21:49

bring that magnet with him from home? No, he

Sarah Moore 21:51

like made it. It just

Unknown Speaker 21:53

banged it on the anvil,

Sarah Moore 21:54

just like he made the gun. Yeah? Bing, Crosby is magic, and he can do. But yeah, with Merlin, I kind of wish carries around that giant magnet in his pants.

Ansel Burch 22:13

It's good from a circulation just Yeah,

Speaker 1 22:16

I'm sure in the fifth I believe that. But yeah, with Merlin. I wish we would have seen, like, something he did that seemed magical, because I even, like, headed my notes when being like, pulls out the little bobble and, like, I was all wizard battle, they're gonna do something cool. But he just kind of like, I'm Merlin and I'm magic, yeah? Like that you can just anybody can say that. Like, prove it.

Ansel Burch 22:41

Yeah, do do something. Yeah, we don't really get to see Merlin do anything magical at all in the in the whole thing. Did he even call himself a magician? Like, was there an implication that this version of Merlin does magic? I think,

Sarah Moore 22:57

yeah. No, he did, because he was, like, anybody can do it. Because he made that big deal out of when he found the the light, the the crystal that he was using to focus the light, he was like, Oh, he used this bauble. And I can, you know, anybody can do it. And then he, like, tried to do, like, magic didn't work, you're right? So we got to see him fail it, and we got to see him being the classic, creepy, I'm gonna control the king,

Speaker 1 23:21

yeah, over the shoulder, because the king

Sarah Moore 23:25

is a doofus who apparently just wants to be in a musical.

Ansel Burch 23:30

Once he really perked up, once he got to do a song and dance number, yeah,

Ben Banks 23:36

which I thought was a little ill timed. But

Sarah Moore 23:39

thing was, where they're like, where they're like, slowly walking up on them, and they're like, everyone's

Ben Banks 23:47

like, That was hilarious. You guys

Sarah Moore 23:49

are idiots. Like you didn't, you didn't actually look at all around you to see if you could get out of this cave. Like you just were like, Nah, we're good.

Unknown Speaker 24:00

This is Beep, beep

Sarah Moore 24:04

out into the brightest moonlight that has ever existed. Yeah,

Ben Banks 24:07

it was bright. It was really bright until the Eclipse came. It was very bright.

Ansel Burch 24:12

Did all the clips that Eclipse scene was a hell of thing that was crazy. Sure that took some of course, he just happened to check that

Ben Banks 24:20

almanac. Just knew

Sarah Moore 24:21

also have almanac in your pocket with the giant magnet.

Ansel Burch 24:26

Yep, hey, you know the Almanac is a legit thing. I will say. Having, having grown up on a farm, there was always an almanac around, and people get superstitious about those things,

Sarah Moore 24:37

yeah, well, I'm, I'm pretty sure that that is from the original story. Obviously, the songs and stuff are not from the original story, but I'm pretty sure the almanac shenanigans are from the original. Mark Twain.

Ansel Burch 24:49

I don't remember enough about the original Other than that, but those two are definitely in there,

Sarah Moore 24:53

and he could build a gun. Obviously, from I don't

Ansel Burch 24:57

remember there being a gun in the original. I.

Sarah Moore 25:00

I don't think there is. It makes me want to go back and read the Mark Twain. It can't be that long. I'm sure that I can do

Ansel Burch 25:06

another review for for your Patreon. Do

Speaker 1 25:08

they usually have gun blueprints in almanac?

Sarah Moore 25:11

Oh, that's it.

Ansel Burch 25:15

Obviously just Oh yeah. Any other impressions that you wanted to talk about? Anything else that that sort of stood out in this film as being things that we wanted to discuss.

Speaker 1 25:30

I did like some of the running gags, like sagamores, arm armor that always was squeaking was That was pretty funny, that that kept coming back. And then my favorite, though, is anytime Arthur says something, they have to send it through like nine different pages to echo. And he even comments on like, damn, this infernal

Sarah Moore 25:50

that's pretty funny. That could also be a drink, a drinking, a smoking rule, because they only do it a couple of times. Yeah, take a take a hit every time they do the repeater. Do

Ansel Burch 26:02

you guys think that Merlin was poisoning Arthur? Is that what we were supposed to get from that?

Sarah Moore 26:13

Oh, and that's why he was sneezing all the time. Well, that's

Ansel Burch 26:17

why he was sneezing all the time. But also, like, why he getting him out of the castle, like removing him from Merlin's presence, did solve a lot of his medical complaints.

Sarah Moore 26:32

Yeah, that's true, not all. I mean, probably,

Speaker 1 26:36

yeah, that is true. I didn't, I didn't see that angle.

Sarah Moore 26:39

It's either that he was being poisoned, or we are supposed to believe that, like he was disrupting his health in some magical way, because he is, because

Ansel Burch 26:50

he is supposedly a sorcery, yeah?

Speaker 1 26:52

But even at the end, the old man just kind of gets up out of bed. So maybe they're all just, they feel better when they

Sarah Moore 26:58

want to. They're all just faking it.

Unknown Speaker 27:03

Yeah, they're all just faking it. A long

Ansel Burch 27:05

line of fakers, the Ben dragons. What did we think about the time travel mechanism? This is one that comes up a

Sarah Moore 27:13

lot in the getting, getting conked on the head, yeah, getting conked on the head.

Ansel Burch 27:18

And, yeah, and or shot. You know, sure, it reminds me of how, oh yeah, he doesn't get a shot at the end. Did any of you got? Did either of you read the the Mars books, like the John Carter of Mars series, bad girl,

Sarah Moore 27:38

I have not read those. I think I got

Unknown Speaker 27:40

the first

Ansel Burch 27:42

one. The first one is all you need. And I cannot, in good conscience recommend them. They are absolutely 12 year old, sweat dream, but amazing. But they use the same methodology. He falls asleep under a tree, I think I went to when I watched it. He falls asleep in a cave, I think, and just wakes up on Mars, and he's like, Oh, well, I guess I'm here now.

Sarah Moore 28:06

Like, I have to say, Hank Bing, Crosby's character took it very well. He was just like, Huh, okay,

Ben Banks 28:18

he really did

Ansel Burch 28:20

getting home either.

Sarah Moore 28:21

No. Was just like, No, whatever. I could just stay here. I could be a blacksmith. He was ready to chill out there. There's a hot chick like, I'm this is great. Clearly,

Ansel Burch 28:31

this was all supposed to happen. Yeah, I'm gonna give people a nicknames, whether they want them or not, and keep living

Ben Banks 28:37

my go with the flow. Coming

Sarah Moore 28:39

1940s best my 1912 inspired 1940s

Ansel Burch 28:46

Yes, that's right, he's supposed to be from 1912

Sarah Moore 28:49

right? Yeah. I also like that his hat was Bing Crosby's hat specifically, was like, less goofy looking than any of the other hats that anybody else wore

Ansel Burch 29:02

costume. That's how you can tell he's the star of the film. Yeah,

Sarah Moore 29:04

of course, I have a top billing, so I have to have a nice hat.

Ansel Burch 29:10

I gotta have the good hat. Yeah, I got a cool hat, or I won't shoot

Sarah Moore 29:14

And you can also find both Ben and Sarah and I on the other podcast from indecisionist Productions for the time being, which is an actual play of a game that I wrote where we get to play as time travelers.
