Apparently Tobey Maguire is vegan so there's a chance they really did switch out the hot dog for either an empty bun or a vegan dog. I had no idea but that's wild that my joke might have some truth to it lol
@@NerdSyncProductions You noted that his hand holding the 'dog dropped out of frame briefly. My guess is that he simply let the 'dog drop out of the bun at that point. Then he brings it up sideways so the camera doesn't see that it's empty. I think we've spent almost as much time analyzing this frame as the one you made the video about!
I came here to say this! Once you pointed out the missing hotdog, I went on a whim to see if Toby is vegetarian. Turns out he's vegan. So he likely dipped the hotdog down out of frame so he could flick the dog out of the bun before biting it. There is a similar funny story concerning Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite. :)
@@ErikaAllAlong They probably switched out the bun. Many of the vegans I know won't eat anything that has been contaminated by meat, so even touch the hot dog would keep them from eating the bun, as they can't eat or ingest anything dealing with meat.
My favourite thing about the Spider-Man 2 freeze frame is that it's right when Peter starts moving again, so he ends up getting motion blurred in that frame, and it might even be slightly out of focus too, adding to the goofiness of the whole sequence
You have done so many Scooby-Doo videos that I forgot that you were a comic book channel and was shocked to see you do a video about a comic book movie.
One of the best parts of Spiderman 2!!! Whenever I get to walk outside with the sun hitting me with the right warmth that's just comforting, I play this song in my earbuds and pretend to be Tobey like in the film while walking. It just makes my day every time! 🥰
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.. This "break" from Spiderman did not last long. It was a sequence with sunshine all over. Then the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.. He is back to hero-ing.
To comment on your half a second text bit... ...I'm *pretty sure* there's nothing particularly problematic about Robert Redford, unless you include that time he did away with term limits and got elected five times in Watchmen. Seriously, though, he was generally considered one of the more lefty Hollywood performers, and I'm not *aware* of any sex scandals. And he created the Sundance film festival! The *Sundance* film festival. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was an important movie.
This might be the most surface level thing, but something I thought about when the freeze frame was shown is 80s/90s-ish movies, especially like the ones set in school, where the movie might end on a freeze frame while a song plays, denoting a sort of happily-ever-after ending. In Peter's case, if this were a different kind of movie, if it were telling a different kind of story, if Peter were a different kind of person, this could be where the story leaves off. Peter could have his happily-ever-after. But because Peter Parker can never catch a break, ever, it *will not* end there. It can't.
Yeah, I think it is very much intended to be a "fake ending". But instead of the freeze frame ending the movie, it was more akin to Zach in Saved By the Bell calling a time-out. A brief respite, but really just the beginning of their problems.
This is so genius too because Peter walks off to the LEFT in that final scene of the montage, representing that despite being happy, he’s only walking backwards and delaying the inevitable, that in the end he’ll have to walk back to that superhero life, back to SPIDER-MAN, before he can truly walk forward.
Excellent video! I’ve always seen the Raindrops montage in Spider-Man 2 and the Bully Maguire montage in Spider-Man 3 as parallels. They’re both showing scenes of Peter taking the life he thinks he wants after eliminating what he thought was the source of his problems, only to later find that he has to give up that life in order to be the hero once more.
Scott, let me introduce you to another rabbit hole: Butch Cassidy just MAY have survived! For many years now, there have been tales of Butch returning to the US to live out his remaining days. Personal anecdotes and (if memory serves) perhaps even a photo or two of him after his purported death. The rabbit hole beckons, Scott. You know you have to look into this.
_Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_ was one of the last of the westerns for awhile. _True Grit_ had opened a few months earlier. This is also just about when television had it's 'rural purge'. Hollywood stopped needing horses as much. _The Godfather_ opened two and a half years later, being a big movie with no horses. (Well, part of one, but that was probably just a model of a part of one.)
5:44 also Sam said he didn’t even pick the song himself in that very clip so it’s still entirely possible the guy who actually picked it did have this in mind
I spent way too long working on this video about a niche subject that I hope is as interesting to you as it was to me lol. Let me know! Also, if you share it on twitter or instagram, tag me and I'll repost! 💜
One time I told my mom I had watched The Sting recently and was in the mood for another movie like that I meant something kinda fun and silly She decided we should watch Butch Cassidy and good god that was not a fun and silly ending
Two other films from the same period (all three released between 1967 and 1969) are "Bonnie And Clyde" with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway along with "The Wild Bunch" with William Holden and Ernest Borgnine. The music and the character relationships get you to root for the bad guys. The song 'Foggy Mountain Breakdown' functions as an old timey toe-tapper. I'm normally not into westerns and gangster flicks, but this trilogy stands together as a break from the Hollywood format by the late 1960s. All three movies have a similar arc which ends the same way. If you enjoyed "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" I'd recommend a quick follow through with these other two.
Exactly. I need to see the Wild Bunch. I'd say that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is western for people who aren't big fans of westerns. Like myself.
I have associated this song with the westerns my dad watched when I was a kid but never knew which one it was from. Thanks for making me feel old, Scott! 😂
I was just listening to this song(and thinking on this scene) a few weeks ago ‘cause I’m finally taking the steps to get into trade school(after deliberating long on whether a 4yr was what I wanted). There’s a certain sense of liberation and relief just from rewatching the scene/listening to the tune; it’s the closest thing to feeling like I’m starting a “new life”, especially after facing my own personal struggles. It’s a nice thing really and I’m glad we can all connect to it uniquely(Plus, I didn’t know it came from a far earlier era; I definitely gotta check out more westerns now lol).
This video messed up a childhood memory of mine. When I was a kid I had a porcelain squirrel (it kind of looked like a figure made from a Beatrix Potter drawing). When it was wound up it would play "Rain drops keep falling on my head." I never thought much about it but now it feels really creepy. I think it's still at my parent's house somewhere.
My favorite trilogy, these movies were not just good superhero movies but stand on their own so well. They were campy but very heartfelt, the part you mentioned briefly where Peter becomes a hero I think is part of it. He got powers and the first thing he did as “spider-man” was wrestle for money to impress MJ with a car. He wasn’t really a hero in the making until he’s forced to realize that his inaction causes Uncle Ben to get killed, the one guy getting mugged in Spider-Man 2 he shrugs off and walks away, etc.
To answer the Dog Question, the answer is that Toby Maguire is vegetarian/vegan, and wouldn't eat the hotdog if it was real meat. I heard that there was an actual vegan hotdog in that bun, but I don't know how much vegan hotdogs looked like real ones 20 years ago. So imagine they intentionally held the dog in a way to keep it out of view of the camera. (Edit to clarify because I checked the dates - he was vegetarian when the movie was made but became vegan in 2009. Also, I knew about the hotdog because I've seen it in trivia stuff, but you're the first to mention the fact that the dog itself is obscured)
@@NerdSyncProductions Fair. My theory is that they did takes where you could see the hotdog, but it didn't look good enough, so they did takes with no dog as well, and one of those ended up in the movie. (According to my mother who grew up having to eat vegetarian because her mom thought meat caused cancer, vegan hotdogs are dusturbingly... white. They might be better now, as meat-replacement technology has improved a lot in the last 10 or so years) Also holy cow Batman, I got a reply from Scott! Hi Scott! Big fan!
I love it when great films lead to great films! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was one of my mentor’s favorite movie! He’d gush about how amazing and smart and beautiful it was before he passed!
When I clicked on the video about the goofy Spidey 2 sequence, I did not expect to get an engaging and thorough analysis of not only Spider-man 2, but the lyrics and score of the funny song from the sequence, and one of my dad’s favorite westerns. Awesome job dude, your videos are always a blast
As someone who saw Butch Cassidy for the first time a week ago, adored it, and my favorite film is Spider-Man 2... This analysis HIT. You perfectly describe why both stories are special pieces, not just of filmmaking, but of art in general. Great stuff
Raimi knew exactly what he was doing by referencing BC&TSK in this scene. I won't pretend that I know why he didn't admit it in the commentary, though I have my suspicions (the producers: this is a fun superhero movie, no-one wants an essay on narrative theory and besides, that film is hella old: no-one watching this cares about any of that ancient shit [maybe]), but Raimi knows his medium. Up, down, left, right, forwards and bacwards. The reference was deliberate, because Raimi is aware that there is more than one audience, and he is able, more often than not, to make movies that cater to more than one audience. Also, he knows that sticking Bruce Campbell in there somewhere will make everyone happy.
My sister has a music box that plays this song you're talking about. My grandmother gave the day she was born in 1975 before my grandmother passed away. I never had the chance to meet her because I was born in 78. Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head. I like seeing you outside my guy. I've been watching your videos since you had hair. ❤️🤙
I've always loved this scene. I think it's great that there were films where people just did stuff because they thought it was a good idea, and sometimes there still are.
Watched this on Nebula, where I quite enjoyed your take. It’s not dissimilar to mine but I do want to add… about the audience laughter… that’s something I’ve always associated with that sort of freeze frame being a staple of tv during Raimi’s and Gen X’s (yeah, I’m old) formative media diet. So it’s a bit kitsch along with your observations. I wouldn’t be surprised if the kitsch quality was as conscious as the other reasons may have been either subconscious or additional layers considered during that stage of post-production. Either way, attentive audiences reap the rewards.
I clicked on this expecting a silly video on a Spider-Man 2 frame to watch while I eat and somehow ALSO ended up being legitimately interested in watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for myself... Scott, you did it again! Great video!
"Nothing's worryin' me" is the false bravado of someone who is deeply worried, blaming his red eyes on the rain because, as he lies, "cryin's not for me."
Marvel movies were at peek between 1998-2006. Spiderman trilogy, Blade trilogy, Hulk, Punisher, and the X-Men trilogy. I will shout out 80s Punisher too.
@NerdSyncProductions Just for the sheer pleasure of the silly anecdote: There is a Fisher Price Music Box Pocket Radio (1972) that plays a metallic version of Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, meaning a generation of kids from the 70s/80s grew up with the song as the soundtrack of their first years of life. This crib toy exists, it does sound like a broken clock, it's built like a tank, and yeah most of them still sound almost exactly like they did 52 years ago ^^.
Ahhh such a beautifully put together analysis. Love the way you really delved into the connections and the importance of it all. Now I’ll likely add Butch Cassidy to my list for the future. Also genuinely adore everything about Spider-man 2
Honestly 3 minutes in and im engaged, i understand the premise, i have all nessicary information to understand what this essay is talking about and yet i dont know why. So i have to keep watching. That is a skill that is very rare for this platform. Great job.
I love this so much! Never noticed the parallel before, having seen the films something like 10 years apart. Your analysis is better and authorial intent only matters in court!🙌
I was so ready to come down to the comments and just leave a little fun fact about how the song was originally written for an old western that I like. Was very happy to discover that was the video!
"I'm not on the bike anymore" needs to become slang for 'it sounded like a good idea but I gave it up to my own benefit." "You stopped your diet?" "Yeah I'm not on the bike anymore." "You dropped out of uni?" "Yeah I'm not on the bike anymore." Just a handwave 'I know it sounds like it was a good productive thing but actually I hated it and needed to stop'.
as a die hard red dead redemption fan if you really like westerns you should check that game out its honestly the best rockstar game they have made other than the table tennis game
Thanks to the way I consume media, the only things I already knew about butch cassidy and the sundance kid, was that the song rain drops was in it, and I’d seen the scene on YT.

@@rabbitcorp.103 It isn't really wiener unless it's from the Wien province of Austria.
“Less cultured than most yogurts”
That’s a great line, I’m stealing it 😂
Please do!
This is pure brilliance. I never thought that Spider-Man 2 would make me want to rewatch a '60s Western.
Me neither but here we are lol
Unironically, there aren't enough essays on the niche details of Raimi's Spiderman 2
R.I.P., B.J. Thomas. This song means a lot to me.
He crushed it with this song's performance
Actually, I think you're on to something with the Texas Switch because Tobey is a vegetarian (or at was least before/during the Spidey films).
I released this early for my Patrons and they said the same thing! I genuinely had no idea!
Ah dammit, you beat me to it, I thought I was gonna be the clever one to post about it
@@SolaireIntensifies Haha 8 minute upload squad!
The Raindrops montage will always be my favorite movie scene of all time. Thank you for analyzing it!
I'm glad someone else cares deeply about it!
I would kill for your average MCU movie to have the same level of sincerity as Spider-Man 2
My favourite thing about the Spider-Man 2 freeze frame is that it's right when Peter starts moving again, so he ends up getting motion blurred in that frame, and it might even be slightly out of focus too, adding to the goofiness of the whole sequence

I love this! I've always done the same thing too since I was a kid 😂
i won't believe a word you say in this video until you get art commissioned of butch and sundance smooching it up
hmmmmm this is a good idea
I suddenly realized it's a song about raindrops. In a movie about a spider... man.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out?
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.. This "break" from Spiderman did not last long. It was a sequence with sunshine all over.
Then the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.. He is back to hero-ing.
To add to the hot dog conspiracy:
Tobey Maguire is a vegan. Perhaps he didn’t want to eat the dog if he was a vegan back then.
I released this early for my Patrons and they said the same thing! I genuinely had no idea!

"Jinkies, lets watch it right away!"

I like to think Peter dropped his hot dog and just ate the bun

I never would have expected these two movies to be compared but it works so well. Also dang Scott those Seinfeld bits were so good
Fun Fact about the Hotdog scene. Toby is actually a vegetarian so they switched for his sake.
8:56. Not just a cut. Not just a mid-sentence cut. Not just a mid-word cut. But, a mid-syllable cut. So nice, I watched it thrice.
For a hot minute i thought I was about to watch 20 minutes of Spiderman 2 hotdog bun lore, and I was along for the ride tbh 😂

I always assumed that at the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, they shot all the dudes and got away and lived happily ever after.
Is it sad that I knew exactly what the frame was before I even saw the movie?
nah it's iconic! lol

haha hey thanks it's been over a year
This video fuckin slaps. I love spiderman and this video nails it
22 minutes into a 27 minute video: "Hopefully we have enough context". Never change Scott ❤
You do the coolest niche investations, Scott, and present them in such a funny and polished way. ❤
Please dress up as the 'My Cat From Hell' guy for a Halloween episode. Hell, colab with him on an episode about cat heroes and villains
Man, when I saw that you made a video on spider-man, I did NOT expect it to be about an old western. One I actually do own.
This was a fantastic analysis, Scott! Also your own freeze frame at the end ended me 😂👏
I love this so much! Never noticed the parallel before, having seen the films something like 10 years apart. Your analysis is better and authorial intent only matters in court!🙌
Thanks for sharing your experience realizing this, time for a Trilogy rewatch
0:18 I wish you didnt point this out because Ive never noticed and now I will never unsee it
Always thought this song was really weird in Butch Cassidy, I'm glad to see an analysis!
haven't seen some of your latest videos, i missed you scott this video got me really excited when i saw it on my feed!
This was a beautiful piece of analysis for one of my favorite movies growing up. Looks like I have to watch Spiderman 2 for the 50th time.
I was so ready to come down to the comments and just leave a little fun fact about how the song was originally written for an old western that I like. Was very happy to discover that was the video!
Fantastic take!
Thank you!!! 💜
holy sausage this video is really like a half hour long. my attention span sense wasn't expecting this.
Dude, you went full Lindsey Ellis on this, amazing, well done!
"I'm not on the bike anymore" needs to become slang for 'it sounded like a good idea but I gave it up to my own benefit."
"You stopped your diet?" "Yeah I'm not on the bike anymore."
"You dropped out of uni?" "Yeah I'm not on the bike anymore."
Just a handwave 'I know it sounds like it was a good productive thing but actually I hated it and needed to stop'.
Aha, i see you've found a way to write that excersise bike off as a business expense.
as a die hard red dead redemption fan if you really like westerns you should check that game out its honestly the best rockstar game they have made other than the table tennis game
The bit without the sponsor on Nebula was a bit spooky!
Thanks to the way I consume media, the only things I already knew about butch cassidy and the sundance kid, was that the song rain drops was in it, and I’d seen the scene on YT.
Be rootin, be tootin, and by god be shootin, but most importantly, be kind.
Didn't even mention Butch's real last name is PARKER
Youe editing is incredible
Thanks! I spent way too long on it for something this niche lol
I sing this song im my own version of this montage very frequently in my life
Its iconic
Another great video! Love the deep dives, as usual!!
Very timely. I was listening to a bunch of Burt Bacharach songs a week ago because of his influence on Shibuya-kei music.
A Spider-Man video?! This makes me so happy
Love to see videos like this from you, will likely rewatch on patreon to watch the de-copyrighted version
This is good. Made some nice dinner, got myself a drink, new NerdSync video. Hell yeah!
A new Nerdsync video about one of my favourite movies of all time? I'm eating good today
Also yes, I did just watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid because of this
I love Spider-Man, but I didn’t even notice that part of the notification. I clicked on it the second I saw this channel posted
based fan 💜
