Weezin' the Juice...and 'Encino Man' Still Cracks Me Up!
Okay, so, 'Encino Man.' Yeah, yeah, I know, some people think it's dumb. But c'mon! Pauly Shore in his prime? Brendan Fraser just BEING Brendan Fraser? I rewatched it recently and I still laugh my ass off. Total guilty pleasure, but I ain't ashamed. What's the quote? "Be excellent to each other!" Nah, wait wrong movie, hold on... ah! "No wheezing the juice!" Classic! I even tried saying it in my freshman year speech when I ran for student council. Didn't win... anyway... Seriously though, the whole premise is ridiculous, but that's the point, right? The scene where Link learns to talk is gold, especially when he starts mimicking Stoney and Dave. "No way!" "Totally!" Then the prom scene? Forget about it! He's just swinging from the rafters. Honestly, it’s pure 90s cheese, but it's aged like a fine... cheese that's still kinda cheesy. I think the underlying thing is just how well Pauly and Brendan work together. Like, you can tell they were actually having fun making this, and that energy is contagious. I know it's not some high art film, but sometimes you just need to watch something that makes you laugh without thinking too hard. Plus, it's a time capsule of 90s fashion and slang. Weezin' the juice? Totally radical! So tell me, am I alone in my love for this prehistoric goofball fiesta? Anyone else secretly crank up the soundtrack and pretend they're at prom with Link? Spill, baby, spill! And if you haven't seen it...dude, just do it. You might hate it, but you DEFINITELY won't forget it.
