This is the full, timestamped transcript of "88 Minutes w/ Pete Holmes (HDTGM Matinee)", an episode of How Did This Get Made? published February 24, 2026 (45 min, about 9,716 words). It mentions 25 people, works and ideas, including 88 Minutes, Al Pacino, Steve Graham, Chad Holmes, How Did This Get Made.

What this episode is about

An in-depth take on why a film starring Al Pacino is considered hilariously flawed, celebrating its failures while unpacking how and why it landed as “the best worst movie.” The discussion blends humorous critique with reflections on mediocrity in art and what makes movies endure in culture.

Key takeaways

  • Consumed by false leads, the film parades mystery misdirections like a carnival of red herrings with zero payoff.
  • Real-time, phone-dominated storytelling creates tension, yet dies under constant, nonsensical plot drift and illogical pacing.
  • Character names are a blender of clichés; actual substance collapses beneath the weight of CW-era archetypes.
  • The taxi-as-sprint trope backfires: mobility becomes a gimmick, not a narrative engine, sabotaging urgency.
  • 88 minutes of chaos reveals production choices: cover art, logos, and era signaling distract more than deepen meaning.

Full transcript with timestamps

Al Pacuccino has 88 minutes to live, which is 86 minutes too long. We saw 88 minutes, so you know what that means.

Now it's time for this. We're going to have a good time celebrating failure, not just be a hater, cuz you know you wonder how did this. Let's wallow in the mediocrity of some art. Perhaps we'll find the answer to the question, how did this get made? Hello people of earth and welcome to How Did This Get Made. I am joined as always by the fantastic Jason Manzukus and the wonderful June Diane Rayfield. How are you both?

Good. Pretty good. Uh we are joined today by a very special guest. Um you know him from his podcast on the Nerdist Network called You Made It Weird. Please welcome Pete Holmes.

Hi. Hey. Hey everybody. And you also have other things too. He has a great comedy album. What's the comedy album called?

Oh, it's called Impregnated with Wonder. I love I love how the punk rock element of how podcasts promote other podcasts. It's all it's so DIY and beautiful.

Our our podcast could be your life. Your podcast could be my life. Yeah. I don't know what that means. Don't overthink it.

I don't know. That didn't make that s that sentence actually makes more sense than anything in this movie.

I was telling Zuks I could talk about this movie. I can't believe the show is only 45 minutes. I feel like we have to pack in so much.

We should do it in 88 minutes. Before you guys before you guys got here, Pete was like chomping at the bit.

I can't wait to talk about I just watched it this morning. It's actually the perfect way to watch it in daylight. So, you know, you're wasting a beautiful day watching what might be the best worst movie ever.

Wake up and turn it on. Or were there other Okay. It was like a real fresh I was eating eggs watching it and and like when it started uh you guys start I just want to know part of me I was like maybe this maybe they're wrong. Maybe this is going to be the best. You know, I want to point out one thing. What? We've watched a lot of bad movies on the show, and I'm beginning to see the trend with uh production company logos before the movie starts, and this one when it started, it was family room entertainment.

I saw that, too. And like written in like comic sands. Terrible. I was like, "All right, we're in for a treat."

I love that you went there, cuz I'll go one step back and say that the cover of this movie is a one for one ripoff of The Born Identity.

It's exact. It's the same cover. It's the same cover. PAUSE THE SHOW. NOW, the movie doesn't even take place in this year. They try very hard to set up this is like 2007 that they're playing music like they go, I can't believe Princess Dye got killed. THAT'S

MY GOD. I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. THEY have to establish that it's 1997. How are we going to do that? I guess they could talk about Princess Dye and we could show a picture in the newspaper.

That day, it was 97. It was 97. Yeah, they lingered on the date for a couple of seconds.

That's so true. I thought that was going to be a big thing. I was like, "Oh, the killer's like a princess die fanatic."

Not use. They really like Yeah, there was no reason to set the tone because that scene that part of the movie is probably like 4 minutes. Like you don't really need to establish the '9s all Yeah. The movie is all false leads.

Yes. Like needless false leads. And at the beginning, you don't know that. So you're like, "Okay, Princess Die 97. Okay. important. You guys are important. Oh, no, wait, they're not. Okay, great. Whatever.

5 minutes later, they were saying names. I wasn't even making an effort to who they might be.

I wrote a note at one point that said like this movie is all useless female names.

NO, BUT ALL the guy names sounded completely ridiculous, too. Jeremy Goober, like Guy Leafar, just like they were

cartoon names. Basically too, everyone that's a suspect could be and has probably been in a CW show. Like they WERE ALL ABOUT THE SAME AGE.

SO LIKE One Tree Hill, who is that guy? Everyone, that's exactly right. You don't know where you know these actors from,

but they've all been on some sort of long soap opera. It will bother you the whole film. Can I also say this isn't out of order. It's more of an overall thing. 90% of the movie takes place on the phone. Yes. And when there's it's like a foreign film in the sense that like if he has to fill out paperwork, they show him filling out paperwork.

Well, because the movie takes place in real time after the phone call. Is that what it is? The minute he gets the phone call, we're So, basically, what happens?

Wait, it just became a little bit cooler. That's why there were no cuts. Yeah. Right. Well, not there are cut. There are no time. There are no time cuts. Yeah.

Although there are He cheats like hugely. He's he's in 88 minutes. He's able to traverse the city back and forth multiple times driving a taxi cab. Why does he drive a taxi CAB? HOW DID YOU GET TO THAT?

WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN? HE HE CAN'T GET A taxi cab and be like, "Take me here." He's like, "I'm going to drive $100."

Well, I think the idea was, "How do I move the seat forward? I'M TOO SHORT. I CAN'T REACH THE PEDALS."

I think the idea was that he wanted to drive faster than the taxi. [ __ ] dumb. But he wasn't driving that much faster than a cab driver. At one point asked the guy to get out so they could have a private conversation.

We gave him another 20 bucks and was like, "GIVE US A MOMENT." Hemorrhaging cash. He's hemorrhaging cash to this cab driver WHO IS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE'S SO MANY SHOTS WHERE PACINO is like intensely looking through papers. They're talking on the phone and in the shot is a dirty cab driver in the seat. In the seat BEHIND HIM OUT OF focus kind of like uh what's up guys?

I kept thinking about the guy's agent like Phil. You got a great scene withino with Pacino.

You're working for two weeks. It's just like Collateral. That's That's so You're the Jamie Fox character in Collateral.

Do I have a postcard? If you have not seen the movie, you will know have no idea what we're talking about. Basically, um, so these girls are murdered. Alpuccino testifies at their trial with a a little prince mustache and then the movie cuts 9 days later.

Female lawyer, that female lawyer delivered her dialogue. She's shacking up a delivered her dialogue as if she was auditioning for like Real Housewives like it was mental. Her performance so misogynistic from the beginning to end. It is so the portrayals of womenistic

so upsetting and it looked like the first [ __ ] take. IT DID LOOK LIKE THE first take like just get this one out of your system.

That's when it hit me in ter was like I feel like I should ask her to come down like 90%.

[ __ ] IT. MOVING ON. Moving on. She was doing like a bad Dennis Miller like, "Your honor, my client was flippity just as soon as Annipus finished off his second ber." Like, "What the [ __ ] did you just say?" And the judge, "You can TELL HER TO SHUT THE [ __ ] UP." And he's just like, "Oh, what?"

So, basically, Alpuccino testifies, puts this guy away, and and and you're fine. And we cut to 9 years later. Alpuccino wakes up in a bed with this woman who's doing naked yoga and brushing her teeth and brushing her teeth

in a way that looks like she's [ __ ] giving a sonic hair a [ __ ] Yeah, exactly. She's got it in her mouth and her leg is up. It's you know like girls do. You're right. You're right. It's a misogynistic movie. Was that Was that supposed to be like this guy's got it made?

Everyone wants to [ __ ] Aluccino. That's the craziest thing about this movie. He's like the hottest guy of all time. Indiana Jones in this movie.

And the women they cast though are towering over him. There are police dogs that are taller THAN HIM IN THIS MOVIE. Aluccino in this movie isn't tan. He's mahogany. Like he's an odd color. He's like his wig is out of control. Is that a wig?

Oh, right. Yes, that's a pompador that has lost like Bruno Mars's pompador got a pompador. Like it's like

it's as if he's practicing in this movie for his Phil Spectre role. It is huge. It does add inches.

If you're wondering what that banging is, it's Pete Holmes smashing the table every time he's enjoying it.

I'm delighted and I refuse to. I just don't want people at home to be like, why don't they answer the door?

I was going to do it there, but I So Aluccino is a [ __ ] machine and he's a forensic scientist is what he is. He's a

who is super rich. He's not. I just want to make sure people understand he's not a policeman.

AND AND HE'S SO HE'S SO ALMOST A POLICEMAN. HE act it's it's it's like CSI. It's like CSI when you think about it. LIKE THOSE GUYS, THEY'RE NOT POLICE. They are forensic scientists.

But he does run a and he's also a professor. But he also runs a firm called the John Abrams

that does question mark. Anyone? Oh my god. Forensic investigations, I assume. I can't.

But he's like the idea the leading he's like the leading forensic investigator until this day. The movie that they the movie that the movie takes place on this day where everyone turns on him like he is the hero of the world and then all of a sudden they're like what is this [ __ ] on Al?

Yeah. I can't even think of the characters. Jack Graham. Jack Graham. How you doing?

Well uh first of all the woman comes back. The woman who he saved uh J kisses her twice by the way.

HE KISSES HER TWICE. TWICE TENDERLY. Tend whispers, "You did you did a good job. You did a good job."

He's also He holds a lot of women's faces in this movie. Like puts a hand. Well, do you know what I think it is? Do you know what I think it is? He has to grab onto something to pull himself up.

HE HAS to grab onto something. He's using her face as an apple box. Pull pulling up. Can I get a half apple girl?

You did good. He kisses her twice. That was another moment where I was like, Jesus Christ, I think this movie is going to be terrible.

Have we gotten to the cookie yet? Well, that's the cookie. We get to the cookie. He makes him cookies. They are basically celebrating that the murderer is going to be put to death that day. Everybody's partying.

The murderer who, as the movie goes, not to tip it early, they just keep overstating that there's no evidence that this guy did it.

Well, that's the thing that like 9 years later, they're mad at Aluccino going, "Hey, hey, wait a second. Maybe you were wrong." Nine years later, come on, guys. And so, he gets these cookies. He goes in to be interviewed, which then opens up to my favorite scene of the movie, which is Aluccino serving people cookies and milk

in a in a boardroom. And you think it's GOING TO PAY OFF. I STILL I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO pay off.

No payoff. It was going to be like there's going to be a thing like the way he eats the cookie, they dunks the cookie, THERE'S A JOKE ABOUT THE COOKIE.

At one point, Jill Hennessy, what's her name? Amy, Amy Bamman comes out, who plays his assistant, comes out and says, "Milk made

a real a real line in a movie, not improvised." He's like to her, my favorite line is he says to you, "How come we how come we never got married?" And she goes, "Well, because I have gay and you're a commitment phobe." She goes, "I'm a lesbian." She goes, "I'm a lesbian." Which is even worse.

Are you sure? Oh my god. It goes, "That's why we're perfect." Yeah. That's why. That's uh

Wait, can someone explain to me though? So this guy milkade. So So this guy put away. Is it cool if I don't say milkade?

Just like one. Let's just get one for safety. Amy, I promise we're not going to use it. Amy, I promise we're not going to use it. Just Just give me one.

And you're not going to use the whole take of me lingering way too long realizing she came in at a bad moment. That's like a 45se secondond shot of her being like, "Whoops." cuts to cuts back to her still going, "Whoops." And then she moonwalks out of the goddamn room. Thanks for the cookies.

Can someone explain to me what this guy was like what evidence there was to put him away 9 years ago?

Basically, they're treating it like basically they're treat they're basically treating it like the fact that Alpuccino testified as a forensic uh like investigator put this guy away. Like that's the THAT'S THE WHOLE BUT THERE WAS NO DNA. No DNA. No. No. The eyewitness repeatedly says that she didn't see anything in the beginning. Remember that?

She did. And we didn't either. But then we don't know. Like no one saw what happened.

Kitty saw. Kitty saw. Kitty saw. And the Well, the kitty. So basically then um you know, so he he kind of he he Alpuccino's never phased. He's never really phased by anything.

I'm so glad you said that. I kept waiting. Like he gets a phone call that's like, "You have 88 minutes left." It's like no problem. Call me later.

Yeah. Here's And then he starts teaching a class. Yes, he does. THIS IS THE HERE, TAKE A listen to the phone call cuz it's pretty great to see this the tenor of Alpuccino. Here we go.

Yeah. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Hello. You have 88 minutes to live. What? You know how long 88 minutes can be, don't you? That's 11:45 a.m.

Who's this? Tick tock. Who the hell is this? Hey. Hey. What are you saying? What are you saying?

And then that's it. Then he keeps looking around the quad as if that person was standing in the quad with him.

I'm sorry. I'm jumping out of order, but there's a goddamn motorcycle man. What's his name from True Blood?

And he's Steven. Steven Moyer, who winds up having one line in the movie that is said through a closed door.

That's right. Oh my god. before he before he is subsequently shot. He couldn't be more suspicious. Suspicious things are happening to Aluccino and he investigates everyone but that guy. He keeps seeing him three times. He saw him in the apartment. He saw him at the quad and he sees him again in sees him in the se who is that guy afterwards. He sees him after the class too and that's where he he's on the phone. He goes who is that guy? WHO IS THAT GUY? THE GUY IS A murderer as far but another false lead that is so hamfisted and nothing

basically Alito's seen this guy now three times and he just goes who is this guy and then goes back to anyway. So uh give me those phone conversations.

He meets a sketchy police a campus security guy that he has checked out and he questions one of his students. He's like GIVE ME A [ __ ] PHONE PIECE OF [ __ ]

BY THE WAY, HE GOES, "GIVE me a phone. Give me A PHONE. THERE IS A STRANGER IN THE CLASSROOM IN A GODDAMN LEATHER jacket lurking scowlling at you

whose name is Guy Leafart. And he BY THE WAY YOU SAW out he saw him outside of his apartment.

Yeah. No outside of the girls. And in a bad flashback he realizes that everyone in the movie was at that bar last night in a WAIT IN A FL Oh my god. That flashback made me furious because he has a fl Okay, we we're jumping so far ahead now. But he has a flashback where he realizes that everybody was in the bar behind him.

In the flashback, HE CAN SEE HE HAS HE HAS PERSPECTIVE ON the on things that are happening behind him.

He's a forensic psychologist. He couldn't examine the flashback. The flashback goes to Pacino kissing the girl. THEN THE CAMERA MOVES OFF of them so you can see the rest of the people in the bar who have who are behind him. and and he has an epiphany as if to say like, "OH, NOW I REMEMBER now I remember all those things that there's no physical way I could have seen last night because I was I had my back to all these people." And just again to to draw that thing everyone wants to [ __ ] him in that bar that night and and it seems to me that his entire office and his entire class is taught on the case of this guy who doesn't seem that impressive as a killer. It's like he killed two women. Like why would this man name

No, he killed a whole bunch of women. He killed No. No. Remember in the phone call where he lists all the names off?

Okay. A whole bunch of women. Other wacky names. Yeah. Judy W. Why don't you tell us where the body of

All the characters are like cut like Star Trek Star Wars characters like Wat the guy who works with me.

Well, what's the guy's real name? Boba Fett. Guy sounds like a Disney villain. Oh my god. I looked it up at one point. Hold on. Guy Leafart.

Not Guy Leafart. You got to be kidding me. Guy Leafart. I just feel like the movie was like an Alpuccino roller coaster cuz you were waiting for You're like, "Oh, when is he going to lose his shit?" He never does. He never does.

He never does. You want HIM TO SO BAD. HE'S HIGH register Pacino, which you just heard like who is this? Like I want to be like, "Listen to me, you cocksucker." But it never went there.

What is this? Who are you? Yeah, it was always I think he was trying to pace himself for those 88 minutes. These are just some of the character names. Guy Leforge,

Jeremy Goober, Johnny DeFranco. Wait, who is Johnny? Who is Johnny DeFranco? Oh, this campus security guy

Franco JT. Wait, wait, I'm sorry. Johnny, a name that sounds like Anie DeFranco.

Yeah, I mean also Pacino and like so basically he has 88 minutes to live. He just seems unfased by that and to the point where he's like, I get my files out. Just find out who's on the the top list of people who want to kill me.

And his other guesses are, is it you? LIKE JUST ANYBODY. EVERYBODY. ANYBODY. IT'S EVERYBODY WITHIN HIS peripheral vision. It's all the people that are right there. It's like Ly Soies. U Molly Ringwald.

Molly Ringwald. Yeah. And and the guy from the OC, Ben McKenzie. And when they when they did that push in on all their faces, I was like, is this a joke? It's obviously not someone, is it? It could it be?

I instantly was like, "Oh, it's all of them." I didn't think it was. They all looked at him with [ __ ] me eyes.

Yeah. Including the OC. Yeah. Everybody was looking at him like the Indiana Jones.

Guy Leaf Farge. Yeah. Guy Leaf Farge was up for it. I just want you guys to know that the guy who wrote this movie also wrote a lot of the Fast and a lot of the Fast and Furious movies. Hollow, Hollow Men, and then K9, the Jimalushi Dogm.

And uh and then the I guess a sequel to Time Cop called Time Cop Berlin. I thought you were going to say the sequel to K9 K10.

That's That would be amazing. Uh I want to yell more about this movie. Just bring up anything.

Well, there was a sequence that really made me crazy, which was when Okay, so they get they all have to leave the university cuz there's a bomb scare. He goes down to his um to his car to get out of there. Lely what's her last baby?

Baby Helen Hunt. He finds Baby Helen Hunt in a stairwell and she's saying that she's just been stabbed or

attacked. She got slapped around or something. He spends I think two minutes of screen time running around looking for a guy who has blood on his pants.

And and they don't and they they remember one of them's a woman. ONE OF THE CARS THAT HE STOPPED IS A WOMAN. OH YEAH. OH, THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART. OKAY,

YEAH, CUZ SHE said that she bit their or they cut their hand and then basically Alpatino was stopping everyone in the park. Let me see your hands. Let me see. I want that as my ringtone. Let me see your hand.

Looking back at it all, but looking back at it all cuz now, you know, at the end of the movie, we find out that she is the copycat.

Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. She's the Seattle Slayer and she CAN I JUST JUMP ahead to that? Go ahead. She's She effortlessly is repelling the the girls. big problem with this.

It took two men to pull her up, but Lely could do it with one. She has psycho strength.

Yes, Lely. Si at the end is is revealed to be the murderer and has has her next victim hanging above a like auditorium or some big thing and is holding it in one hand and is able to like start tape recorders and do whatever she wants to do. She's so easy. She lets the woman fall 10 ft, then effortlessly pulls her back up. And then all of a sudden, like when the action scene happens, like the woman drops and Alpuccino's like and then like Alpuccino's buddy, a cop, they both like

they're trying to pull her back up and now it's impossible. Impossible. But that's that is like we said that is at the end.

Can I please one more thing about that? Was she blind? I don't know. No one no one else was confused. I know she wasn't really blind, but there's a moment. Let me explain. Look,

what are you doing? I love it. Well, get ready for something. She Aluccino comes in and Lely so the movie's so bad I would have believed anything.

Yeah. And for a brief moment, I'm being vulnerable right now. I thought that Le twist was that she was blind.

Listen, I will play it for YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I'm talking about. Alpuccino comes in and he has a gun drawn and she's got that weird vacant face like she's not looking at anything. She's just kind of like soft focus and she says, "Is that a gun?"

And she goes, "Is that a gun? Do you have a gun?" And he goes, "Yes, I have a gun." And then she goes, "Put it down." And then he's like, "I've put it down." And slide it over to me. And then he tries to slide it just a little bit. And I was like, "Because she's blind."

OH. AND NOW I'M REMEMBERING actually there's another point in that scene where he keeps on saying a number of times. What if I were to tell you there was an FBI agent pointing a gun to you? Like I was like, "Oh my god." I I played it back in my mind. I was like, "We didn't ever see her reading or anything."

You know what? She could have been blind. She could have been blind. Clearly that's in the DVD extras.

Well, there clearly were things in this movie that were done all in post. And I would the one thing that I want to bring my attention to is there's a scene in the car with the girl uh the the redhead and

Kim Cummings and she's with Alpuccino. Name of a real character in an ordinary movie.

Most unnecessary sweater removal goes to God. Well, she obviously she [ __ ] him too.

Oh my god. She is like gunning for Pacino. Oh, big time. Big time. And like he's over in his amazing loft, which by the way, when he enters into the loft, the security guard like he has a thing like, "How'd you know my name?"

You're the security guard who works in this [ __ ] building. And then and the security guard share a look that is like real weird. I'm I'm remembering that differently. It's a temp guy. He goes, "Where's Earl?" But you know, you're right that there's something [ __ ] up happening. He goes, "Where's Earl?" And he goes, "Oh, I'm not the He might as well just go, I'M NOT THE MURDERER." SUDDEN NOBODY

I'M SUSPECT AS WELL. AND THAT also happened when Molly Ringwald is in the parking garage. He's like, "What are you doing here?" And she's like, "I'm just coming here to get my car where I always leave it. I'm not the murderer." Like, she might as well just say that.

But I feel like everyone in this movie was acting like everyone should say their line and then twirl their mustache. He's like, "Yeah, maybe. Maybe, maybe." Everyone's a maybe.

So, this guy isn't Earl. The door guy isn't Earl. And he goes, "Dr., what's his name? Dr. Graham." Dr. He goes, "Dr. Graham, there's a package for you." And then he goes, "Okay." And then he goes, "How did you know my name?" And he goes, "I didn't. It was a question. So, let me get this straight. Everyone that comes in, you're going Dr. Graham.

And if you say yes, you get the package. What kind of a door guy are you? THIS IS WHY you're a goddamn temp and not a real dork.

But may may maybe the uh the killer went in and said when you see a very sharp man with a crazy beard and very tan skin come in.

He's going to look a child to you or I. It's a Lord of the Rings reference. He probably his head won't pass his head will not go past your desk. If you see IF YOU SEE HAIR,

if you see troll hair walking by your desk, if you look you see a man that belongs at top a pencil, give him this.

There were so many eerie shots of that door guy that I thought for sure still still investing and committing to the movie. I was like, surely this man is a solid 90% of this movie is Al Puccini answering and talking to on a cell phone.

This movie should just be called telephone call. just and he's always like phone calls.

Yeah. You know, and there's always caller wait call waiting and stuff. He's like, "Let me conference you in."

So much so the bad guy is able to just hijack phone calls. He's on the phone at one point with whoever he's on the phone with and then the bad guy's like,

"Did you did you get tic tac? Did you get my package?" Whatever. Like you can't do that.

There's no rule. Like he just jumped in. I mean Oh. And so basically, can I say one THING ABOUT THE DOOR GUY IS, YOU know what this movie is like? It's like life. Cuz you keep meeting people that don't have anything to do with anything. IT'S LIKE, HI, I'm Ben. I'm like, you don't have anything to do with MY STORY LINE.

WHY DO YOU HAVE A full name? I can't deal with this. THEY DO. EVERYONE HAS A FULL NAME.

WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT Sarah Jacobs? What about Bethany Monroe? Who are all these people? Why does everybody have full names? There's a girl who literally walks by and goes, "Hi, Dr. Graham." And he goes, "Hi, Lauren." And it's like, that's the sum total of her acting performance. HI, LAUREN.

BUT YOU'RE WEAK. WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT LAUREN? IS SHE A SUSPECT? I FEEL like Alito's like, I got to name everybody. I'm a very famous guy in this campus. But that even

Hey, could you stop making up names for the for the day players? Hello, Teresa McDonald. Nice to meet you. How's your yogurt shop? I hope it's doing well. I enjoy that yogurt very much. I'll see you tomorrow. I only do yoga Mondays and Wednesdays. GOODBYE.

TRISHA MCDONALD. SO MUCH INFORMATION AND IT'S FLUSHED IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU WATCH this movie, and I hope you do, no, pay no attention. Pay no attention. You'll learn all these people.

The the door man, I do want to point this out. I don't know how to say it, but like picture the doorman putting his like face against the wall and kind of just like he also does that thing. like, "All right." And he's just staring at him like with his wall. Like he like he like kind of rounds that corner when Alpuccino's getting into the elevator and he's kind of like like just staring at him. Super creepy. And he's got like a scar on his neck and I was like a weird eye.

He's a killer. But everybody's the killer. Why was Kim giving him that crazy look?

WHO KNOWS? AND WHY DID HE THEY USED THE TAKE where he explained that somebody called and he uses the flashlight. OH YES, the phone. He's like, "Yeah, somebody called for you." And he holds UP THE THE FLASHLIGHT and he did that in a scene with Alike. Mike, I like the choice you're making just to to tell Pacino somebody called for him. But like maybe he's not going to get what a call is. So, could you just hold up I don't know. Hold up your flashlight to your ear to insinuate that it's a

I actually think that's the only guy in the movie that was aware that it was like a comedy. Like like he was like, "I'm going to do it funny. I'm going to do a funny take." Whoa, dude. I I've almost forgot about my favorite scene, which is I guess there the there's like smoke coming through the building. They have to escape and then Alpuccino does this thing where he jumps in front of a fire truck for no reason JUST TO ROLL OUT THE WAY OF IT

ALONE IN MY APARTMENT. Daylight laughed for about a minute, but that made me really sad because I felt like that was totally added in cuz Aluccino is like, you know, I want to look like an actual really bummed me out.

He's a ter I love Tom Cruz. Tom Cruz, great runner. Alpuccino, not a good runner. Every time he runs, he looks like he's holding two eggs in his hands that he doesn't want to break.

It wasn't like he was doing anything heroic or trying TO HELP. HE WANTED HE JUST GOT IN THE WAY OF A TRUCK,

A FIRE TRUCK, AND JUST kind of rolled out of the way of it. And then and then his car blows up. Spoiler. His car blows up and and we all knew it was going to blow up, but then I was like, the whole point is that they're going to kill him at a specific time, but they rigged his car to blow up just so they could get him early. What? What if they did get him? He would have been like, "Well, [ __ ] I had this whole finale where I'm wearing the Catwoman suit and and a baby Helen Hunt,

but there's no But there's no like And why was that apartment ON FIRE? WHY DID ANYTHING HAPPEN?"

I THINK TO DRIVE THEM OUT. I think to drive them out. I think to get them out of the apartment.

It was around that moment that I realized this movie wasn't uh 34 blocks or whatever. I thought it was going to be like that. I kept I was like, "Why isn't this in New York?"

34 Blocks would be another one we should do. I'm sure that's just equally bad. This movie is price.

Um, go ahead. Oh, I was just going to say, uh, this is the point where he hijacks the cab,

which is so Oh, but before that, at this point in the movie, though, you want him to JUST SAY, GET OUT OF THE CAB. LIKE, WE'RE going to die. He's negotiating. He's like, how you doing?

I'll give you $100 if you let me take your cab. I can drive your cat. You can stay in it.

What is your full name? What is your wife's name? What's a maiden name? It's like a memory. The whole movie is a memory game at the end. Oh, wait. Did we forget about the uh Where did he get that?

The the uh the the interview on TV. Oh, yes. That's That's one of the things I was going to say.

Did he jump that? Yeah. That happened in the apartment. The bad guy. HE HE CONFERENCES IN MIKE DKA. HE CALLS MIKE DA THE GUY WITH THE slick hair. He looks like the guy that he wronged for.

Neil McDonald. He calls Neil McDonald is on like CNN MSNBC rather and being interviewed and he's like

Deerra McConnell. I still don't get it. He's like it's being simal cast just set up call MSNBC and get me on with this guy.

What does that even mean? And so he calls in. He has minutes to live but has time to call MSNBC to to talk to those uh to talk to Neil Mcdana and like try and he's like I'm going to I'm going to mess with his head, you know? I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him to come out of his shell.

And that's probably the best Pacino of it like in the MOVIE WHERE IT'S LIKE TELL ME TELL ME ABOUT DAMA DID IT. YOU [ __ ] [ __ ]

AND THEN THEY have this argument where like oh by the way this movie is obsessed with you. It's always

that was added in post cuz they realized later they were like he just pauses the television. Isn't it 19? Oh it's 2000. And then also he in the middle of the interview uh the the guy gets a stay of execution and they just stop the interview like the interview's over like okay like it just like they just go away from they're in the middle of this heated exchange

and just like Patino just pushes pause and hangs up. Yeah. And and then they also he called into CNN or whatever MSNBC

MSNBC MSNBC MSNBC he calls in. It's not enough that he's having a conversation with the guy that's on his TV. We got the [ __ ] cop partner conferenced in so he can hear it too.

I kept wanting to be like 7:50 A.M. AND HE must he must be on a delay. There's no way he can be in real time on the TV and listening to the TV. It would literally be a delay. And they would be like, "PLEASE TURN YOUR TV OFF.

CAN I GO INTO ANOTHER ROOM?" And and the other thing was too, ARE YOU WATCHING THIS WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT? What the [ __ ] And the picture of him that they use on the TV when he's called in is like a jack off shot. It's almost like, "Hey, hey, hey, Jack, right here." AND HE'S LIKE, "HUH?"

He looks he looks like he's been frightened by a ghost. Yeah. And And I love the fact that

he's unaware that his photo is being taken in that photo. It's just like his cop buddy is listening and the cop buddy knows that he has 88 minutes to live. And uh and the guy's like the killer's like, "What if you only had minutes to live?" Like clearly saying like he's in on it. And then the cop buddy's like doesn't trust him 2 seconds after that. It's like ah you're lying.

I can I say something about the film overall is it's like I don't I don't will this make sense? I don't know. This movie was so clearly written by one person. What I mean by that is every character is the same. They all just kind of they're they talk the same. Everything is just in service of the of the story. They're just And this is the thing that I wrote down that's funny to round this thought out. We didn't talk about how he breaks his cell phone for no reason, right? There's a scene where he breaks takes

and you have to watch American Treasure Alpuccino pretend to drop his cell phone in the stairwell and it's broken in a way that only could be done with like a bullet.

Yeah. And he he just dropped it on the ground the way we do. He gingerly dropped it.

He ginger and he kind of gles voice. He bobbles it. Oh. Oh. BUT BOY, THE THING IS, what if what if I maybe do uh like a bobble?

John, John, get over here. John, I had an idea. What if I bobble? I'm looking at the phone. I'm looking at the way it's broken, right? And I don't I can't do it without.

You're great. I love that. I don't think it would be realistic if I don't bo. So anyway, no reason. He breaks the cell phone. You're like, "Oh, that's kind of interesting because now he doesn't have any contact with the killer." And the whole premise of the movie is that he's going to be reminded how many and then he just gets another phone.

It gets HE GETS ALL HIS CALLS FORWARDED TO THAT. WHY WERE we forced to watch that?

What's the point? WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT? But my and then my favorite moment is at the end when the when the uh when he kills Lily Soies, saves the day. Everything's going good. Then the killer calls him on the phone thinking he's Lely so. And then he go he has like a big speech to him. He's like, "All right, you for me you messed up."

And he's holding the phone apart from his head. Interesting choice. And then he goes like he goes uh what he says like uh 12 hours to live. Tick tock. And he throws the phone.

Okay. I'm the same guy that thought Ley might be blind, but I thought the phone was going to explode.

IT WOULD HAVE MADE OH. OH, IT WOULD HAVE MADEENSE. Backup plan was an exploding phone.

Oh, yeah. Nine. And do we and and then the whole thing was like when he goes up to confront Lily Soies, she makes him confess. Now

and he confesses immediately. He confesses immediately. But I don't understand as a viewer if he did coach those people if he did hide evidence because at the end of the movie he kind of takes that tape and puts it in his pocket like what was she going to do with that tape?

She's a murderer at this point. She's not going to like go and now introduce it as evidence, right?

Doesn't make any [ __ ] sense. I guess every part of the movie too cuz there's a couple moments where like the the Molly Ringwald clone calls him up and she's like, "I did it. I'm behind the whole thing." You're like, "Oh, okay. I buy it."

That's because Lily Soies has a gun to their head, right? But but you don't know it at that point. So, but even at that point, you're like,

"Okay, I guess." That always seemed really obvious to me, though. I I know we could see her and she was sweating and stuff, but he would always buy it. He'd be like, "Hey, meet me in your apartment. It's me. I've been setting you up. It's me." And he's like, "Are you he keeps getting those?"

Well, the whole tape The whole tape that sets off the whole day is a woman going like, "Jack Graham totally lied and he did all this bad stuff. Did I say everything you wanted me to say now? Don't hurt me." And it's like, "All right, this tape implicates you." It's like,

she was clearly under [ __ ] duress. SHE SAID IT ON THE TAPE. She mispronounced ONE OF THE WORDS.

She got nervous for the reading. Why would you believe someone who is who's like you then watch be murdered for over an hour?

Wait, but I have a question. How Oh, I guess Lely Zobeski Zobies got the semen from the hooker to place in those bodies.

Yeah, cuz she was you made out with the hooker. Am I the only one that was Oh, wow. You I I stopped crying at that point. Also, in that scene where they were like, "They found your semen in her in her vagina." I was like, "Foul [ __ ] taking some risks."

Yeah. I thought that loads right in the cave right up there. That's what I thought. I was like, "This is a girl he met at the bar,

buddy. Wrap it up." Raw dog in it. Raw dog. I'm Jack Graham. Forensic scientist. I DON'T USE CONDOMS.

Third thing about this movie. A man who makes his living swabbing up seam. Just blow.

That's probably why he was That's probably why he was so shocked to find out she was an escort. Wait, WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT? I I I bear bound that girl.

That's why HE WAS SO UPSET. HE'S GOT TO GO IN. Hang on. I thought she was a law student. I wouldn't have raw doctor IF I KNEW SHE WAS AN ESCORT.

HE DOES. He spent 15 minutes going to a clinic to get tested IN THE MOVIE. THAT EXPLAINS this burning I've got. Uh-oh. I guess I do have 88 minutes to live.

He's going to [ __ ] die from anesthetic. June, do you want to do June? U We have a new segment that we would like to do here. This is a segment called Say What. And basically, we're just going to just take a piece of dialogue. If you guys remember this uh you know, you should actually do it cuz you actually do a uh a good Alpuccino. You read the jack parts.

Take a second to read it over. And uh this is one of my This is I'll be reading Shelly.

All right. Here we go. Shelly, there's been a break in my place in the most in my sorry in my most secure area. Did you ever give anyone clearance to go into my secure files?

Jack, what are you saying? Did you ever let an unauthorized person into I can't read it. THIS IS A REAL LINE.

Did you ever let an unauthorized person into my secure files area? THAT'S A LINE THAT AMERICAN TREASURE Aluccino memorized and delivered multiple takes.

Or there was a better line that he forgot and just made that one up. my most secure deliver. Give me the end. Give me the end of that pier.

Did you ever let an unauthorized person into my secure files area? Wait, no, you missed one of the words.

I did. I got to get it right. Did you ever let an unauthorized person into my secure files area?

No, not ever to anyone ever. That's a real line. Al heard that. Things happen. Did you? That sounds like that's like the most dirty. My most secret secure area.

Secure files area. That woman. Where did the man touch you? Where did the man touch you? In my most secure files area.

Can I I know you're an escort, but can I come in your most secure files area? Her name is Shelly, too. And there was actually a heartbreaking moment because Glengary Glenn Ross is one of my favorite movies of all time. And Jack Lemon's name is Shelly. So, there's a moment where Alpino goes Shelly. And I'm like, a so great.

She also is um Dairo's girlfriend in Heat really, which is uh like the other Pacino uh crazy, you know, insane. Those two face off in the diner, blah blah blah. But Amy Brenamman, like

one of my favorite moments though is when he calls her. All of their scenes pretty much are over phone calls, but he calls her to say, "Call the cell phone company and find out who just called me." And he's like, "Trace the call. Just find out." She goes, "Okay." She hangs up and writes something on a post.

She wrote trace. I totally noticed. She's gonna forget to do what he just ASKED HER TO DO. THEY WERE LIKE, "DO it when you have a chance." It's like, "Do this immediately."

And she was like, "If you told me what was going on, I could help more." No. [ __ ] do the trace. Get the [ __ ] out of my goddamn face.

Obviously, we had some issues with the movie, but there are some people who really love it. I'm going to visit some Amazon.com reviews for a second opinion.

Warren Christensen writes, "Alpuccino is not disappointing. It's worth twice whatever you pay for it. Five stars." Milton K. Gonzalez.

We should sell that guy copies of this movie for twice what they're worth. That was my first impulse was to go on Facebook, type in 88 Minutes, and see who had it as their favorite movie. Oh, it's a there's a lot of fivestar reviews. Milton K. Gonzalez's is my favorite though.

One of the wellacted movie with a real definition of the story. Alpuccino is very good actor for this movie because when you see this film is like you are living it.

WOW. HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THAT. YEAH, that's true. I kind of wish I had known that real time 88 minute thing because it really did. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was so [ __ ] UP ABOUT IT. WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN INTO what the significance of the 88 minutes.

Guys, we the dead sister Kate Graham. He listens to that tape. By the way, he gets a [ __ ] serial killer, sends him a tape recorder. He's got Molly Ringwald in there removing sweaters for no reason on the stairs and he just starts listening to it casually. He's like, I'm sure this is disturbing. Oh, it's my it's my uh sister 12-year-old chemical. First, he checks it for chemicals and then there aren't any. Useless. WHY? THAT'S WHAT WAS IN THERE. HE WAS LIKE, I have one of these things that they use at the TSA. It checks. Okay. It's clean.

He opens it. Not a bomb. Not a bomb. And the scan screen was a gas mask and he goes scanning SCANNING SCANNING. SAFE. WHY? IT'S SO BAD. IT'S SO BAD. YOU HAVE TO watch it.

He then has multiple He flash He has so many flashbacks in this movie. Yeah. He flashes back to the bar again. He flashes back to his dead sister flying a kite. He is like he is a man who I believe might be having some sort of aneurysm where all he does is have continuous flashbacks.

That scene where he's driving the first time you see his sister riding on the bike, I was like there's already too much happening and they introduce the sister being dead and she was mur murdered over

moment too is when they do tra when Amy Brenamman does trace the call. She finds out that the it's a cell phone that you can buy at a convenience store, but it was registered to the name Kate Graham. And then she says, "I'm sure this is a coincidence."

PROBABLY NOT. IN YOUR line of work, there should not be coincidence. When there are people that are killing you all the time, there's no coinc Yeah. She's a bad secretary. I don't even know if she's a secretary or is or is number two. That was one of those lines where they you could tell the movie is a little dated cuz she was like, "It's one of those cell phones that you can buy and just load with minutes." A prepaid cell phone. I think they call it, but it was registered to someone's name.

That's the point of a prepaid cell phone. Drug dealers. So, she's like, it's a burner phone from the wire.

SO, PARTING PARTING THOUGHTS. UH, would you recommend that people watch this? Where does this fall on uh on movies?

I think it's watchable for sure. I don't know. I was really annoyed by it. I would say there's a good chance I'm going to watch it again because it with friends this time because it was a pure delight. And the funniest thing I've heard in months is he's not a cop. HE'S NOT A COP. HE'S NOT A COP.

EVERYTHING will lead you to believe him to be a cop, but he is not a cop. THE WHOLE STORY HERE LIKE, "OH, this is clearly not a cop.

Essentially a scientist and then until they is irrelevant." Oh man. THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING. essentially a scientist.

If you do watch this movie, which I don't know if I recommend, but uh because there's, you know, it actually opens up this whole world of the second life of Alpuccino, which I think we should get into on this show, like our new Nicholas case.

Oh my god. There's one thing I do want to point out, which was Jet City Improv.

I was GOING TO SAY THAT. I didn't see that. And they're LIKE HAVING A VERY THEY'RE HAVING LIKE A SCENE. Um him and the cop are having a scene and behind him like perfectly framed is a a flyer for an improv company, like a Seattle improv company. whole movie. I can't believe you didn't see it.

Yeah, it's funny. I didn't see that. As if the whole movie was a ruse just to plug

because they're in Seattle. At one point, he gets into a car and there's talk radio on it. I was like, please let it be Frasier Crane.

I was like begging for it to be like, "Hello, Seattle." Like, Dr. Frasier Crane here.

And I just typed in on my computer, Jet City Improv. It is real. Seattle's best comedy show. Seattle short form improv troop offers offers all ages shows and classes and Alpuccino.

I would like them to call in and let us know if they all these guys in Seattle want to ask guys from an 88.

Can we get it? And it's not really even a proper flyer. It seems like like something that you would make and just pop it up. Yeah.

Can I get a suggestion of a space that would fit on this stage? I'll give you $100 for your cat.

So that is 88 minutes to see. I'm sorry. IT WAS JUST A GOOD HOUR. $100 not for your not for your cab. Really?

Let me be clear. Okay. Okay. $100 plus tip. That's right. Sit in the back while I investigate.

Yep. I'm going to drive. You'll be in a lot of shops. You'll especially be in the shop.

I'm going to sit in the passenger seat. Kim's going to sit up here. She looks weird. She's suspicious. She carries a gun.

She's in an abusive relationship. Please. And she has a very She has a very strange waist area.

And here's the Easter egg moment. It looks weird. And here's the Easter egg moment. You have to just watch a completely 80 yard scene, which means they added in the dialogue way after the movie is done of Kim like talking to him because she's never talking in the car. It's all done over flashback and voice over there. It's so bad. When they had that whole conversation in the car, she's like, "You need to give me answers. You need to tell me what's going on."

She's not saying any of that. They just creatively shoot around her. They needed to do that because otherwise it would seem that his monologue about his sister was out of nowhere

which it probably was. They got some studio notes and they went back with ring wall and then ring wall bizarre one. Thank you guys so much for listening. Uh thank you Pete Holmes. Um anything you want to unplug anything, Pete.

Just you made it weird, man. Other podcast people enjoy that one. I'm going to have all these people on

and uh and you are at Pete Holmes at Twitter right? Pete Holmes with a Z. Oh, there you go. All right. Pete Holmes with a Z. I'm Paul Sheer at Twitter. Mist and Diane.

I'm not on Twitter, guys. All right, that's the way we do it. See you next time. Bye-bye. Oh, and thank you very much to our our engineer, Dustin. Thank you so much for doing it.

Thanks. Bye. $100 for your camp.
