Its a result of the Penguin infestation that happened in Gotham back in the 60s. It was a real tragedy when you think about it. All those baby penguins thrown down the toilet after they started growing up... No wonder they acepted Oswald as one of their own. And, eventually, as their king. Such a beatiful story. 😢

@@Etticos. trust. I've been suggesting it for ages. I've got a lil document I copy and paste with suggestions 🤣 I really would love to see Snatch and the evil dead trilogy done.
Omg I love this movie so much. I watched it over and over as a kid and I have had a lifelong love of penguins. I have a penguin tattoo, work with penguins, all my family knows a penguin related gift is my jam. 32 and never stopped loving penguins because of this movie. Thank you Batman Returns
So then you're well aware that penguins inherently know how to conduct a funeral procession... if only Ryan knew this very basic fact and didn't question it so foolishly 😅
I love the line about Batman being in the movie. It really points out something comic book movies never seem to learn. Multiple villians in the same movie drags out the story building to such a degree that the "main hero" is barely in the last half of the movie. Now Batman Returns was a pretty good movie. But still having 3 or more main villains in the movie just to cram as many as possible always hurts the over all movie imo. You tend to not really care about any of them, and they all feel kind of weak as they just do stuff to make the plot happen. I always think of Spiderman 3 when this issue comes up. That movie tried to do Sandman, Hobgoblin and Venom all in one movie....
“And then within the span of a minute, Penguin gropes a random stranger and tells Catwoman that she’s the p*$$y he’s looking for” “This… is a kids movie?” “Oh whoops!” “Whoopsie!”
When the cats had licked Selina back to life, she had just eight lives left because her being tossed out of Schreck‘s window was counted by her as minus one.
My absolute favorite, lives rent free in my mind for 30 years, detail is the way the actor playing Max Schreck's son is just doing a low rent Christopher Walken impression.
I love how the Burton Batman movies have the camp elements of the 60s miniseries but with an added darkness and better production values. The Nolan, Snyder and Reeves versions just dismiss all the ridiculousness of Gotham and its villains
A dude in a super mask taking over a city just so he can blow it up but not before giving away his diabolical plan in a needlessly long exposition dump with the main character may not be campy intentionally, but it sure is terrible either way.
0:44 That's the background story of all the characters, the real Ryan just happened to save all the children in a burning orphanage (by doing a backflip and snapping the arsonists neck of course) and all of them grew up to be extremely Ryan-like
Hope this comment is pinned. First I've seen of it's kind. Truly deserving of many thumbs. Edit: read through all the top level comments and most of the replies. This was the only one of its kind.
As someone who favored this film as a kid, despite how dark and messed up it was, I actually thought That The Penguin living in the Sewers was his actual origin story. So I was super shocked to learn that in other forms of media, he's more Kingpin than Penguin Monster.
yeah... with the partial exception of Two Face, no villain in Burton/Schumacher movies has the actual origin story and when it comes to The Penguin it's literally an in name only adaptation
You left out that the scene where Catwoman sticks the Penguin's pet bird in her mouth to threaten him, Michelle actually stuck the bird in her mouth, no CGI or trick photography. Bird in mouth. I couldn't believe it. Also, this movie was one of my favorites as a child, and its still one of my guilty pleasures.
This is hands down still my favorite Batman movie. Don't get me wrong--I love the Nolan trilogy. But there is something so twisted about Batman Returns that I just enjoy so much.
Me too! Catwoman was a huge influence on me. I'd never seen anything like her, and I wanted to be her so bad. She still speaks to me as a character, and she actually has a way better feminist story arc than the modern WW movie. I started dressing like Catwoman and everything, to the extent that I was able as a kid. This will always be my favorite Catwoman, my favorite depiction of Gotham, and therefore my favorite Batman movie.
As someone who grew up watching the Tim Burton batman movies i always found it weird how in the later versions he suddenly does everything he can to avoid killing people.
I love this movie, its much better than the first one! It's a Tim Burton movie though, so of course realism isn't a priority - it's more like a fairytale
"Batman Returns?! Did Batman go somewhere?" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I love this 90s classic and Pitch Meetings is hilarious! Surprised Ryan didn't say, "Catwoman's suit is TIGHT!" 😁❤️
I was probably no younger than 5 or 6 the first I saw this movie and love/loved every second of it - nose biting and all. For all the talk about today's parents complaining about the newest one being too scary, they all have seemed to forget that the number one sure fire way to guarantee kids will want to see this movie is to claim "it's not for kids."
@@TwistedReality13 It irks me how the same kids from 1992 that loved this movie completely forgot what it's like to be a kid when a new Batman movie comes out. It's too scary for kids? Good. Get scared. _It's a movie._
The warnings are for parents, who are expected to actually monitor and limit what media their children consume. Obviously the warnings are not aimed at kids themselves.
I always just figured the whole Batman killing the ice princess was resolved when Penguin says I played this stinking city like a harp from hell. That pretty much clarifies that he did it and not Batman.
This films Penguin is pretty much a completely new character, the only things it has in common with the real Penguin character is the name Penguin and his real name Oswald. I had no idea for years until my cousin told me.
He also has the top hat, monocle and weaponized umbrellas. But the OG Penguin, deformed or not, was more of a sophisticated gentlemen of crime underground, not a monstrous baby-killer. And while Catwoman does have a duality complex, she's not *this* crazy if at all. Also, the 9 lives thing, that's just weird. Still a way better Catwoman than Halle Berry though.
Hey Ryan. Thank you so much for yet another awesome pitch meeting. Please do a pitch meeting for the Ice Age movies. That has to be "super easy barely an inconvenience" for you.
It also happens in Batman Begins when Scarecrow lights Batman on fire. Just pause at the moment Batman catches fire, and you'll notice that the eye makeup is magically gone.
@@Theillive What do you mean? That's the reason it's gone when the mask comes off. The the costume department uses eye makeup to make the mask appear more seamless around the eyes. Otherwise, it looks dumb.
@@raimundoj888 Batman, Catwoman and Penguin represent arrested adolescence. Max Shreck represents the corporate greed which is keeping both them and the city from developing beyond crime and terror. Catwoman and Batman neck on a couch like giddy teens, trying to hide their scars as if they were cutters. Penguin's moronic sexuality is as if a 14 year old boy was trapped in an adult man's body; his babyish clothes and circus theme highlight his manchild nature.
@@raimundoj888 watch the movie so you can understand. If you've already seen it, but still don't see the repeated symbolism, watch it again. There are quite a few different themes that are written off as subtext, but they have meaning. Listen carefully to the dialogue from Batman, Penguin, and Catwoman. They carry the most symbolism in this movie. All Batman movies (except Batman Forever (though they tried) and Batman and Robin) have heaps of symbolism. One could argue that's how all DC characters are written.
Me: He’s done it all! There’s no more room to innovate! Also me: WHAT, TWO SUPER EASY BARELY AN INCONVENIENCES IN ONE EPISODE??! THE MAN HAS DONE IT YET AGAIN
The Batman Returns novelization explained that the penguins were from the old Arctic World, a leftover pavilion exhibition from a Gotham World's Fair at the old Gotham Zoo. Baby Oswald was found there, presumably by the owner of the Red Triangle Circus, and taken to the Charity Home for Unusual Cases orphanage, as seen in The World of Stainboy episode "The Origin of Stainboy" (2001) episode by Tim Burton. Tim Burton snuck the Joker into The World of Stainboy episode "The Origin of Stainboy" (2001), too. th-cam.com/video/6ybEPlwfvvE/w-d-xo.html The owner of the Red Triangle Circus presumably adopted the Penguin boy with a contract as the star sideshow attraction and raised him in the Red Triangle Circus freak show, featured as 'Jimmy the hideous Penguin Boy - the aquatic bird boy,' exploiting the Penguin for money, as seen in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories (1997) book by Tim Burton. He'd grown to hate ordinary people and normal children. After numerous reports of missing children in several towns, police closed down the Red Triangle Circus's fair-grounds, folded the tents. However, freak-show performer the Penguin vanished before he could be questioned, as read by Bruce Wayne in the Batman Returns movie. The decrepit Arctic World pavilion became the adult Penguin's hideout. Tim Burton also explained in his Batman Returns commentary, "The old Central Park Zoo... The duck car came from the old dilapidated Zoo amusement park, and this was an old Gotham World's Fair that had been run down."
You should do some pitch meetings for some of the real old classics. Like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, From here to Eternity, or Ben Hur. Or any of the many great movies made before 1970.
That has bothered me so many years, the fact they somehow had batmobile blueprints. It's never explained nor is it explained how a bunch of circus freaks have engineering skills and can strip apart the batmobile and put it back together perfectly.
I know this would be going against the formula, but I can't help but imagine this pitch taking a cue from real life and showing the producer pitching this sequel to Tim Burton to try to sway his original reluctance to do it. "I just don't feel comfortable doing sequels, especially to a movie that had so much studio control like the first one." "Oh well, how about we give you the go ahead to make it more Burtony?" "Okay, uh... could I make the Penguin into some kind of deformed penguin-man?" "Absolutely." "Can I put Catwoman in a costume that's all stitched up an bursting at the seams?" "I don't think she ever had a costume like that in the comics." "She didn't." "Go ahead!" "Oh, and the Penguin has an army of killer clowns." "Wow wow wow. ....Clowns."
Just a note. Penguin was already a freak, that's why his parents tried to drown him. He probably just thought he's a penguin cause they raised him, so he walks like them and stuff.
Re-watched this film last night...and I saw/heard something that uses exposition for some Penguin backstory: The newspaper article about the Circus Gang mentions that there was a "bird boy" with them when they got away. Kinda helps fill in some major gaps-like how he learned to talk/walk. Kinda.
This movie weirded me out so much as a kid, but I thought I just didn't get it back then. Now, looking back on it as an adult, yeah, the whole thing still is batshit (harhar) crazy.

Omg I love this movie so much. I watched it over and over as a kid and I have had a lifelong love of penguins. I have a penguin tattoo, work with penguins, all my family knows a penguin related gift is my jam.
32 and never stopped loving penguins because of this movie.
Thank you Batman Returns
So then you're well aware that penguins inherently know how to conduct a funeral procession... if only Ryan knew this very basic fact and didn't question it so foolishly 😅
@@andrewgilbert4659 Along with their superior human baby raising skills 🤣
How many unsavory acts have you committed with penguins?
I hope you work as a software engineer or something, and not in a zoo or anything.
@@adamcetinkent Linux dev :P
I love that 2:26 in, producer guy remembers that it's a batman movie
I love the line about Batman being in the movie. It really points out something comic book movies never seem to learn. Multiple villians in the same movie drags out the story building to such a degree that the "main hero" is barely in the last half of the movie. Now Batman Returns was a pretty good movie. But still having 3 or more main villains in the movie just to cram as many as possible always hurts the over all movie imo.
You tend to not really care about any of them, and they all feel kind of weak as they just do stuff to make the plot happen. I always think of Spiderman 3 when this issue comes up. That movie tried to do Sandman, Hobgoblin and Venom all in one movie....
Sounds like Spiderman Far Away from Home
Back to the future part 2 pitch meeting would be tight!
Yeah yeah yeah!
“There are penguins in Gotham’s Sewer? Arent they exclusive to the South Pole?”
“They sure are, sir”
I love Michelle phieffer,s cat woman suit and when she fights with guards it's pretty awesome
Two “super easy, barely an inconvenience “s in one video is TIGHT!
I thought I was trippin
It sure is
Wow wow wow ....wow!
You know for Ryan that was super easy barley a inconvenience
It's going to be hard for Ryan to include three SEBAIs in one video!
I love how they just sort of casually brush past the sewer penguins
I don’t remember this movie being so fantastical?
What's wrong with sewer penguins?
Either they didn't think about it... or simply thought at this point it was the least ridiculous idea they had in that movie.
They have penguins as far north as the Galapagos Islands.

When the cats had licked Selina back to life, she had just eight lives left because her being tossed out of Schreck‘s window was counted by her as minus one.

My absolute favorite, lives rent free in my mind for 30 years, detail is the way the actor playing Max Schreck's son is just doing a low rent Christopher Walken impression.
This movie still has by far the SEXlEST villain in movie history.
Yes, I am talking about Danny DeVito.
That might be true if I wasn't already the sexiest villain in movie history. Thank goodness for Advent Children; otherwise I wouldn't qualify.
Danny Devito ain't all that 😂

I love how the Burton Batman movies have the camp elements of the 60s miniseries but with an added darkness and better production values. The Nolan, Snyder and Reeves versions just dismiss all the ridiculousness of Gotham and its villains
Ah, yes. The 120 episode miniseries.
I don't really love it but it's true, the Burton Batmans are exactly that.
A dude in a super mask taking over a city just so he can blow it up but not before giving away his diabolical plan in a needlessly long exposition dump with the main character may not be campy intentionally, but it sure is terrible either way.

That's the background story of all the characters, the real Ryan just happened to save all the children in a burning orphanage (by doing a backflip and snapping the arsonists neck of course) and all of them grew up to be extremely Ryan-like
Hope this comment is pinned. First I've seen of it's kind. Truly deserving of many thumbs.
Edit: read through all the top level comments and most of the replies. This was the only one of its kind.
Ryan is not an animal though. In this video, dude clearly said "if ANIMAL saved your life..." ..so your theory is flawed
@@beardedentity Hey Carl, yeah Carl. We're retconning your book. Yeah, no biggie, just humans aren't animals now we decided.
@@beardedentity humans are animals though
As someone who favored this film as a kid, despite how dark and messed up it was, I actually thought That The Penguin living in the Sewers was his actual origin story. So I was super shocked to learn that in other forms of media, he's more Kingpin than Penguin Monster.
yeah... with the partial exception of Two Face, no villain in Burton/Schumacher movies has the actual origin story and when it comes to The Penguin it's literally an in name only adaptation
@@stcsuntzucreed True, but Danny DeVito just goes for it in the role! Probably one of his greatest performances!
Still a great movie. I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid.
@@stcsuntzucreed So, the Joker doesn't fall into a vat of chemicals in the comics? You sure about that?
@@igrim4777 that was retconned i believe.
Omg I watched it so often in my childhood and I loved it,
But holy crap... this screenplay is bananas
You left out that the scene where Catwoman sticks the Penguin's pet bird in her mouth to threaten him, Michelle actually stuck the bird in her mouth, no CGI or trick photography.
Bird in mouth. I couldn't believe it.
Also, this movie was one of my favorites as a child, and its still one of my guilty pleasures.
Good thing it didn't take a dump.
I think Penguin also asserted his dominance by putting her cat in his mouth probably. I don't remember the movie very well.
@@PurooRoy probably lol
@@PurooRoy it was an umbrella knife to it's throat
No shame. I still have my old VHS copy.
You should definitely do a pitch meeting for the emperors new groove.
And it is still the best Batman movie ever made.
"Did he buy some clothes in the wrong size". Ryan is a genius.

Such a great start to a video. Instant TH-cam classic
I'd watch that over any of the last 6 Batman movies.
@@peterzerfass4609 S I X ?
Returning oversized clothes is TIGHT!!
This is hands down still my favorite Batman movie.
Don't get me wrong--I love the Nolan trilogy. But there is something so twisted about Batman Returns that I just enjoy so much.
Me too! Catwoman was a huge influence on me. I'd never seen anything like her, and I wanted to be her so bad. She still speaks to me as a character, and she actually has a way better feminist story arc than the modern WW movie. I started dressing like Catwoman and everything, to the extent that I was able as a kid. This will always be my favorite Catwoman, my favorite depiction of Gotham, and therefore my favorite Batman movie.
As someone who grew up watching the Tim Burton batman movies i always found it weird how in the later versions he suddenly does everything he can to avoid killing people.
Ryan: creates pitch meeting channel
Batman Franchise: I’m gonna need you to get aaaall the way off my back
"She gives her cat a bowl of milk and probably some diarrhea."
Ryan, never change. You're perfect already.
So he's becoming BAT-HERO?
@@EEEEEEEE ...Nygma??
@@EEEEEEEE E
Our cats are 17 years old. We give them a little milk time to time.

I love how he says sewer penguins like it's a normal occurrence
I love this movie, its much better than the first one! It's a Tim Burton movie though, so of course realism isn't a priority - it's more like a fairytale
Batman always felt like a secondary character in this movie with how little screentime Keaton had compared to DeVito, Pfeiffer, & Walken.
I didn't even remember that Keaton played Batman, and now that I watched this video I can tell why. Gosh, he's ugly.
@@hendrikscheepers4144 Only after she took off her glasses.
The funniest part about this movie to me is Walken's plan is basically his plan from the 007 movie he was villain of.
That pause between the third and the fourth "wow" is brilliant.
Batman Returns is such a classic that it deserves two "barely a inconvenience" lines
Brilliant film. Top 10 for me. So rewatchable and my favorite Christmas movie of all time.
“Actually it’s gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience” Returns.
"Batman Returns?! Did Batman go somewhere?" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I love this 90s classic and Pitch Meetings is hilarious! Surprised Ryan didn't say, "Catwoman's suit is TIGHT!" 😁❤️
The best part is that he literally responded the exact same way at being told the exact same thing minutes later.
I was probably no younger than 5 or 6 the first I saw this movie and love/loved every second of it - nose biting and all.
For all the talk about today's parents complaining about the newest one being too scary, they all have seemed to forget that the number one sure fire way to guarantee kids will want to see this movie is to claim "it's not for kids."
Yeah, people are so soft it’s crazy.
@@TwistedReality13
It irks me how the same kids from 1992 that loved this movie completely forgot what it's like to be a kid when a new Batman movie comes out. It's too scary for kids? Good. Get scared. _It's a movie._
@@brettbaratheon9776
Helicoptered kids become helicoptered parents? _Who would've thought._
The warnings are for parents, who are expected to actually monitor and limit what media their children consume. Obviously the warnings are not aimed at kids themselves.
@@TheLockdownKidNYC not helicoptered, just terrible parenting as a whole.
I will like that smash button now that you mention it.🤣😂🤣
I always just figured the whole Batman killing the ice princess was resolved when Penguin says I played this stinking city like a harp from hell. That pretty much clarifies that he did it and not Batman.
This films Penguin is pretty much a completely new character, the only things it has in common with the real Penguin character is the name Penguin and his real name Oswald. I had no idea for years until my cousin told me.
That goes for this film's version of Catwoman as well.
He also has the top hat, monocle and weaponized umbrellas.
But the OG Penguin, deformed or not, was more of a sophisticated gentlemen of crime underground, not a monstrous baby-killer.
And while Catwoman does have a duality complex, she's not *this* crazy if at all. Also, the 9 lives thing, that's just weird.
Still a way better Catwoman than Halle Berry though.
You get me laughing every time Ryan. I would love to see the movies Universal Soldier and Soldier please. They are 2 of my favourite movies
I'll second this, both of them are unintentionally ridiculous.
Hey Ryan. Thank you so much for yet another awesome pitch meeting. Please do a pitch meeting for the Ice Age movies. That has to be "super easy barely an inconvenience" for you.
I love that Ryan noticed the magic eye make up that appears when Batman puts on his mask and disappears when he ripps it off.
It also happens in Batman Begins when Scarecrow lights Batman on fire. Just pause at the moment Batman catches fire, and you'll notice that the eye makeup is magically gone.
Am I the only one that understands it's supposed to be part of the mask, not eye make up?
@@lj5190 explain how that’s even possible lmao
@@Theillive What do you mean? That's the reason it's gone when the mask comes off. The the costume department uses eye makeup to make the mask appear more seamless around the eyes. Otherwise, it looks dumb.
@@lj5190 dumb like in the new batman movie then?
I can absolutely not believe how stupid most movies are 😂 Thanks for making it crystal clear Ryan 😬
Suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy pretty much all works of fiction.
The whole point of this movie is to be weird and unhinged, lol. It's not trying at all to be serious and the plot isn't the point. The symbolism is
@@rclark777 and what is the symbolism of this movie?
@@raimundoj888 Batman, Catwoman and Penguin represent arrested adolescence. Max Shreck represents the corporate greed which is keeping both them and the city from developing beyond crime and terror. Catwoman and Batman neck on a couch like giddy teens, trying to hide their scars as if they were cutters. Penguin's moronic sexuality is as if a 14 year old boy was trapped in an adult man's body; his babyish clothes and circus theme highlight his manchild nature.
@@raimundoj888 watch the movie so you can understand. If you've already seen it, but still don't see the repeated symbolism, watch it again. There are quite a few different themes that are written off as subtext, but they have meaning. Listen carefully to the dialogue from Batman, Penguin, and Catwoman. They carry the most symbolism in this movie. All Batman movies (except Batman Forever (though they tried) and Batman and Robin) have heaps of symbolism. One could argue that's how all DC characters are written.
Great to see these two back at it again!
"did he buy some clothes in the wrong size?"
Sensible chuckle.

Hey Ryan, I'm loving these Pitch Meetings. How about Speed and Speed 2: Cruise Control? Especially the second one.
I love how "penguins living in the sewers of Gotham" doesn't raise any questions.
What? There is no sewer penguins in your city?
The Batman Returns novelization explained that the penguins were from the old Arctic World, a leftover pavilion exhibition from a Gotham World's Fair at the old Gotham Zoo. Baby Oswald was found there, presumably by the owner of the Red Triangle Circus, and taken to the Charity Home for Unusual Cases orphanage, as seen in The World of Stainboy episode "The Origin of Stainboy" (2001) episode by Tim Burton. Tim Burton snuck the Joker into The World of Stainboy episode "The Origin of Stainboy" (2001), too. th-cam.com/video/6ybEPlwfvvE/w-d-xo.html The owner of the Red Triangle Circus presumably adopted the Penguin boy with a contract as the star sideshow attraction and raised him in the Red Triangle Circus freak show, featured as 'Jimmy the hideous Penguin Boy - the aquatic bird boy,' exploiting the Penguin for money, as seen in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories (1997) book by Tim Burton. He'd grown to hate ordinary people and normal children. After numerous reports of missing children in several towns, police closed down the Red Triangle Circus's fair-grounds, folded the tents. However, freak-show performer the Penguin vanished before he could be questioned, as read by Bruce Wayne in the Batman Returns movie. The decrepit Arctic World pavilion became the adult Penguin's hideout. Tim Burton also explained in his Batman Returns commentary, "The old Central Park Zoo... The duck car came from the old dilapidated Zoo amusement park, and this was an old Gotham World's Fair that had been run down."
You should do some pitch meetings for some of the real old classics.
Like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, From here to Eternity, or Ben Hur. Or any of the many great movies made before 1970.
That's a good idea. Would love to see a Wizard of Oz pitch meeting.
That has bothered me so many years, the fact they somehow had batmobile blueprints. It's never explained nor is it explained how a bunch of circus freaks have engineering skills and can strip apart the batmobile and put it back together perfectly.
And then Ryan George did a flip,snapped Screenrants neck and saved the day!!! Thanks Ryan for the new video and good luck with the new channel!!!
And saved the day
@@SilverBluud, uh what?
Would love to see a Pitch Meeting for the original Ninja Turtles movies, and also Dick Tracy.
I know this would be going against the formula, but I can't help but imagine this pitch taking a cue from real life and showing the producer pitching this sequel to Tim Burton to try to sway his original reluctance to do it.
"I just don't feel comfortable doing sequels, especially to a movie that had so much studio control like the first one."
"Oh well, how about we give you the go ahead to make it more Burtony?"
"Okay, uh... could I make the Penguin into some kind of deformed penguin-man?"
"Absolutely."
"Can I put Catwoman in a costume that's all stitched up an bursting at the seams?"
"I don't think she ever had a costume like that in the comics."
"She didn't."
"Go ahead!"
"Oh, and the Penguin has an army of killer clowns."
"Wow wow wow. ....Clowns."
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the penguins dragging Oswald’s lifeless body without hands
I love everything you do, keep up the good work!!!
"But let me tell you, I have been pooping on the top of cars"
Just a note. Penguin was already a freak, that's why his parents tried to drown him. He probably just thought he's a penguin cause they raised him, so he walks like them and stuff.
Excellent point!
An even more direct explanation is that this is just Thursday for Danny Devito.
His hands and maybe feet were deformed. Also, Penguin's father is Pee Hee Herman. I think he also played Penguin's father on the show Gotham.
Re-watched this film last night...and I saw/heard something that uses exposition for some Penguin backstory: The newspaper article about the Circus Gang mentions that there was a "bird boy" with them when they got away. Kinda helps fill in some major gaps-like how he learned to talk/walk. Kinda.
This movie weirded me out so much as a kid, but I thought I just didn't get it back then. Now, looking back on it as an adult, yeah, the whole thing still is batshit (harhar) crazy.
