Paul ScheerHOST
I am Paul Scheer, and today, we are talking about the 1996 dramedy, uh, Jack, which is a film that stars Robin Williams as a 10-year-old boy with a genetic condition causing him to age four times faster than normal, meaning that, uh, when he is about 10, he looks 40.
Paul ScheerHOST
And after years of being homeschooled by his overprotective parents, who are Diane Lane and Brian Kerwin, Jack enrolls in a regular fifth grade class, where he develops a crush on his teacher, played by Jennifer Lopez, and attempts to make friends for the first time, and even adult friends with Fran Drescher.
Paul ScheerHOST
And yes, this film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Paul ScheerHOST
We're gonna get into it all, but let me introduce my two brilliant co-hosts, Jason Mantzoukas-
29 MINS LATER
Jason MantzoukasHOST
Like, for example, um, I can't remember.
Jason MantzoukasHOST
His buddies- Louie, John-John
Paul ScheerHOST
... who's, who's Fran Drescher's son?
Jason MantzoukasHOST
Louie.
Mike VanackerHOST
But that's probably not going to happen with Saturday Night Fever.
Mike VanackerHOST
It's a classic, right? And did you know there's a little cameo from Fran Drescher who played the nanny in Saturday Night Fever? You'll find it on YouTube if you look.
Mike VanackerHOST
Question 11.
Mike VanackerHOST
Is another true or false? True or false? An octopus has nine brains.
Ryan L. TerryGUEST
I don't think you've got to rush out and watch it right now.
Ryan L. TerryGUEST
But I do think you want to put it on the list if for no other reason than that it is a cult classic and that people – At least make references to – I mean we actually have a reference to Valley of the Dolls in the sitcom The Nanny in which Fran Drescher's character is reading one of the Sheffield girls, Maggie – no, not Maggie.
Ryan L. TerryGUEST
Crap, the youngest one.
Ryan L. TerryGUEST
She's reading the story of – she calls it Valley of the Barbie Dolls.
DannyHOST
Come on.
DannyHOST
The Nanny? Yeah, with Fran Drescher.
DannyHOST
Oh,
JosephHOST
okay.
JosephHOST
Walk me through it.
JosephHOST
What is it? It's a show with Fran Drescher? Yeah, well, yeah.
DannyHOST
It's literally her show.
DannyHOST
I don't know if you're doing a bit or not, but...
Emma BrodieGUEST
right.
Emma BrodieGUEST
Well, my first rack is Beautician and the Beast, which is like a B-list movie with Fran Drescher and Timothy Dalton.
Emma BrodieGUEST
Okay.
Emma BrodieGUEST
Oh, hell yeah, Brand Rusher.
Oscar KirkHOST
true.
Oscar KirkHOST
I saw that on The Nanny when Fran Drescher's having this big, like, dramatic meltdown and you just see the boom mic hit the top of her wig.
Oscar KirkHOST
It's so fucking funny.
Oscar KirkHOST
I can't even take that show seriously anymore now because I'm like, oh, you've taken me out.
Dayton JohnsonGUEST
Like, um, there's so many that are just fun and so many that are actually very honest.
Dayton JohnsonGUEST
Like, uh, the, the scene where they find out that the record company doesn't like the cover, and Fran Drescher's character tells them that, "Hey, Sears and Kmart will not carry this with the current cover." Now, the scene is kinda funny, but at the same time, it's very honest because a few years later, with the explicit lyrics, uh, stickers that ended up on a lot of tapes and CDs, there were a lot of, you know, chain stores like those two that would not carry, uh, would only carry clean versions.
Dayton JohnsonGUEST
So I love that exchange, how they're, uh, trying to, um...
Dayton JohnsonGUEST
They have that conversation, "Well, you know, the White Album had nothing on it, so it's not the cover that matters, it's the music," which is true.
Naima FatemaHOST
One more hot one is, if we remember The Nanny-
Maddison Sullivan-ThorpeHOST

Rachel Amber BloomGUEST
like when he was watching Star Trek with me would make like nicknames for all the characters he called Troy Fran because he looked like Fran Drescher in that first episode I can see it yeah between the hair and the short skirt I think they could have like Yeah, maybe the scant slightly longer and maybe made her hair not even flatter.
Rachel Amber BloomGUEST
It was still the 80s, but not because she had the weird like half ponytail thing.
Rachel Amber BloomGUEST
That's what made it look so cheerleader-y.
