Oh, God. Oh, my God.
0:13
I just kind of know.
0:14
What are your poops like?
0:16
I'm kind of picturing you just like on the dog crawl across the carpet.
0:21
I mean, you don't have to imagine that we've seen it.
0:23
I do like a sexy Marilyn Monroe crawl across the carpet.
0:27
Oh, gross.
0:29
With poop on my thighs.
0:32
Oh, I want everybody to like watch blonde,
0:35
but then just imagine my face on Marilyn Monroe.
0:38
We can probably we got a deep fake you in there.
0:40
That'd be great. We got you know, we got the technology.
0:42
We have a Peter that might actually make that movie watchable.
0:45
I hear it's kind of rough.
0:47
Pretty bad. Yeah.
0:48
But if my face was on the lady body, mm hmm.
0:53
Let me hide. Oh, my God.
0:55
It was fine. I just met.
0:56
I'm just talking about the the emotional roller coaster we're about to go through
1:00
and go from last the last episode to this episode.
1:04
Yeah, one was really implying that we all have emotions here.
1:07
Mm hmm. Fair. I meant for our listeners.
1:10
Oh, yeah. They're invested at this point.
1:12
I don't think our listeners have emotions either.
1:14
I don't think we have listeners.
1:16
There's at least some bots that watched our.
1:19
Yeah, they went to town on that one video.
1:22
Fifty eight views or something.
1:23
It's like 90 now. Oh, damn. All right. Well.
1:26
What do we have more bots?
1:28
Good question. I think.
1:29
Can we please watch some of our other videos?
1:32
Which video is it?
1:34
It was the it can happen to you.
1:36
I was kind of hoping it was the 9-11 one because that would be weird.
1:38
That would have been actually really weird.
1:40
That would have been awesome if it was like a bunch of people
1:43
kind of Googling 9-11 stuff, just trying to 9-11 the facts.
1:48
I mean, it was. Welcome to cage match.
1:51
This is you really struggled with that one today.
1:54
This is this is Sean, your bemused host with my co-host Nick
1:59
and our producer Peter. Hello.
2:02
Who was infinitely patients patient with our chicanery until not last week
2:06
until he's not. Is it chicanery?
2:09
Yeah. Chicanery.
2:11
Oh, I don't know. Chicanery.
2:12
Sean Connery. Sean Connery.
2:14
Thank you for being with our Sean Connery today.
2:18
Always, always patient with your Sean Connery.
2:20
Especially Zardoz era Sean Connery.
2:23
I love me some Zardoz era Sean Connery.
2:26
So great. Let's talk about that movie.
2:29
Yeah. I wish I had a giant floating head that just vomited guns out for me
2:34
every morning. That movie is unhinged.
2:36
I don't I don't need this, but you want it.
2:41
It'd be entertaining.
2:42
This is this is the speed this podcast is going to go today.
2:46
Nope. We're going to pick it up.
2:48
We got things going on. Oh, yeah.
2:51
Yeah. Do you want to talk about the bad one or the good one?
2:53
Oh, yeah. Let's let's let's.
2:56
So we're just going to give up give up the ghost here.
2:58
This week, we are putting head to head
3:03
Paul Schrader's 2014 Dying of the Light thing.
3:07
I was trying to think of a kind word to put in front of it.
3:11
And just sounded like you forgot what we were doing here again.
3:14
No, no. And 1993's Romp.
3:17
Red Rock West. Red Rock West.
3:21
When walk. Red Rock Rest.
3:24
Yeah, this is that.
3:25
I mean, that's going to be most of the jokes in this episode.
3:28
I would like to talk about Red Rock West first.
3:32
1993, Nick Cage plays drifter Michael,
3:36
who after driving 1200 miles to get a job on an oil rig
3:41
and not getting it because of his bum knee, spends his last five dollars
3:45
to get to Red Rock while looking for bar back work is mistaken for Lyle
3:50
played by Dennis Hopper, an assassin
3:54
who didn't show up.
3:56
And Nick Cage is offered $10,000,
3:59
$5,000 upfront to murder Larifin Boyle's character,
4:03
Suzanne, by her husband, JT Walsh's Wayne.
4:08
Hilarity ensues.
4:10
Shenanigans ensue. Sean Connery. Sean Connery ensues.
4:13
Every time Nick Cage, you know, gets he goes over to the house.
4:19
She offers him twice as much money.
4:21
He takes that, writes the sheriff a letter saying, you know,
4:25
bar owners trying to kill his wife.
4:26
You should probably look into that.
4:28
Throws it in the mail because time is of the essence and
4:32
scoots out of town.
4:33
Only did a drifter drive into the hospital.
4:36
And when the sheriff shows up to ask questions and guess who it is,
4:40
it's the bar owner, Wayne.
4:42
And it's all just a wacky adventure from there.
4:45
It is a very thinly veiled like farce.
4:49
This whole thing is just like a dark farce.
4:51
It really doesn't like drive big jokes or anything.
4:55
No, everything leads back to Red Rock.
4:59
And they're like five times he gets out of town
5:03
only to immediately get driven right back to town.
5:06
Wayne drives him out of town to kill him in the middle of the forest.
5:09
He gets away, runs off, is almost hit by Lyle, the actual assassin,
5:15
who not only drives him back to Red Rock, drives him back to Wayne's bar
5:20
and is insulted that Nick Cage won't have a drink with him.
5:23
What's the name of that tabletop game?
5:25
Fiasco. Fiasco. It's Fiasco.
5:27
Like everything about this is Fiasco.
5:29
It's a Coen Brothers film without witty dialogue.
5:32
It is written by a pair of brothers.
5:35
That's also true. Yeah.
5:36
And directed by one of those brothers whose name is John.
5:39
John John. John Dahl. Yeah.
5:43
Who mostly has only who's directed a lot of television.
5:47
And he got his start directing a bunch of cool in the gang music videos.
5:52
That's that's pretty astounding. Yeah.
5:55
Doll's first film, Kill Me Again, was about Kilmer.
6:00
Was it? Yeah, I believe he was in that.
6:02
Well, the reason Nick Cage took this role
6:04
and this is my one fun fact for this movie is because his uncle,
6:08
Francis Ford Coppola, really liked Dahl's first film,
6:11
Kill Me Again, and said, Nick Cage should take should do it.
6:16
I mean, I think you said it right, Nick.
6:18
You know, this doesn't lead to a lot of big jokes.
6:21
It happens. It happens at a clip.
6:23
There's a lot of turns leading back to Wedwalk.
6:27
Wedwalk. Michael gets seduced by Laura Flynn Boyle's character real quick.
6:32
They're on the run out of town.
6:33
No money. And she wants to stop for a beer, which turns into tequila.
6:37
Yeah, it turns into the comfort in wants to stop for a beer,
6:40
but she wants to use his money, too.
6:41
It's like he just saved her ass.
6:44
They're getting gas.
6:45
And she's like, how are you going to pay for that?
6:47
And he's like, well, I got like 80 bucks.
6:49
And she's like, let me see your wallet.
6:50
And then just looks at his ID to like make sure she knew who he was,
6:55
takes his money and says, like, I'm getting a drink.
6:58
Yeah. Like, bitch.
7:00
I mean, technically, he just took, you know,
7:02
$10,000 of hers to kill her husband, which he also didn't do.
7:08
Well, whatever. She deserved it.
7:10
Yeah. And all the money and his gun is in his.
7:14
Impounded vehicle. Impounded vehicle.
7:16
Oh, and the guy he ran over had two slugs in the chest.
7:20
Hence why the sheriff showed up and was like, well,
7:23
you clearly tried to kill this man.
7:25
I love the enthusiasm you have right now.
7:27
I have nothing left in the tank today.
7:30
He like this is this is going to be a Nick episode.
7:33
Oh, Jesus.
7:35
I mean, talk about some of the performances.
7:37
Do do the the ancillary characters and then talk some of the cagey bits.
7:42
Dennis Hopper Lyle is pretty fun.
7:44
I love the Lyle energy. Yeah.
7:46
So he he just like gets in that car.
7:48
He's like, you know, big Texas attitude. Yeah.
7:51
And everything's just like when he's talking about being a Marine
7:55
and Nick Cage is like, oh, yeah, I was Marine too.
7:58
And like they do a little who thing together.
8:01
Let me buy you a beer.
8:02
And he's like, oh, no, I don't I don't want to be.
8:06
Oh, you won't even let me buy you a beer.
8:08
Like just real offended that he couldn't be hospitable.
8:12
Yeah. To somebody is like.
8:13
Which immediately turns around into I'm going to kill you in the bathroom
8:16
when I found find out you took the money that was meant for me to kill a lady.
8:19
Yeah, sure. Oh, yeah. OK.
8:21
Talk about the truck driver.
8:23
Oh, the truck driver and truck driver was cool.
8:25
So when Nick Cage escapes the bathroom, he like climbs through the window
8:31
and Lyle and Wayne come into the bathroom trying to find him
8:35
because that's they knew where he was.
8:37
They see that the windows open.
8:39
So he climbed out the window.
8:40
They go outside and they're looking around out back
8:42
and looking around all over for him.
8:44
Nick Cage climbed up the HVAC and he was on the roof.
8:48
And he takes this two by four and extends it out across the roof
8:53
onto the top of this semi truck.
8:56
And he he like tight ropes across that and it like doesn't even flex.
9:02
So pretty good two by fours they had back in the 90s, 80s, 90s, 93, 93.
9:10
Yeah. And gets over onto the top of this truck and escapes.
9:15
And, you know, Lyle, you know, kind of figures out like, oh, he
9:19
he must have gone on the roof.
9:20
So he's on the roof and he sees Nick Cage on top of this truck as they drive away
9:24
down the road.
9:25
Nick Cage just knocks on the driver's side window from on top.
9:29
And it's like, hey, I'm out here.
9:32
And the truck driver has to like slam on the brakes and.
9:36
Nick Cage holds on pretty well. Yeah, he does.
9:38
I mean, he must have expected it.
9:41
And besides, he's got a bum knee, not a bum hand.
9:44
Quit discounting him. Nick Cage is good at things.
9:46
I will. I mean, I will say this is probably the most buff cage we've seen.
9:50
No, I don't know.
9:52
He was doing those one on pushups in the middle of the highway
9:54
in that open opening scene.
9:55
Yeah. But do you remember Birdie when he popped that top off?
9:59
That's true. Come gutters.
10:01
So this is like five, six years later.
10:03
Yeah, he's lost it a little bit. Looking pretty good, though.
10:05
Yeah, he looks fine.
10:06
He looks like somebody who could have arguably been in the military at some.
10:11
Yeah. So he like the truck driver pops out of the truck
10:15
and he like puts a gun up to Nick Cage's face.
10:18
I just feel good.
10:20
There is some shit like that.
10:21
Nick Cage is like, no.
10:23
And then the truck driver is like, what are you doing over here?
10:26
He's like, oh, well, I was in the bar.
10:29
My wife showed up and she was real angry.
10:32
So I just dipped out and like had to hide.
10:36
So I like caught a ride on your truck.
10:38
And the guy's like, I don't fucking believe that.
10:40
You're full of shit.
10:41
And he's like, no, you've never met my wife.
10:43
So he drops him off in the middle of nowhere on this like in front of this house.
10:47
And the house being that of Suzanne and Suzanne, because he now that Lyle's in town,
10:52
he's got to warn Suzanne that, hey, this guy's actually coming to kill you.
10:55
Yeah. Which I do like those two playing off each other.
10:59
There's a lot of back and forth when he's like trying to get her
11:03
to hurry the fuck up and get out of the house or to hide because Lyle is right outside.
11:08
And she's just fighting him on it.
11:09
He's like, just go hide on the porch.
11:11
Like, what do you what do you want me to do?
11:13
Get a divorce.
11:14
Oh, yeah. You're putting two different conversations together there, but.
11:18
Yeah, either way.
11:19
That's that's the thing about this movie.
11:21
It goes at such a clip and it all just meshes together.
11:25
But then so Lyle shows up, he Nick Cage
11:28
beans Lyle on the face with a trophy or something.
11:30
Yeah. He just whips it right across the room.
11:33
Good aim on him. Yeah.
11:35
Lyle goes down, doesn't go for the like Nick Cage doesn't go for the gun.
11:38
They just book it in a Jeep with no gas, which is kind of the running theme
11:43
of this film is always out of gas. Yeah. Story of my life.
11:47
Yeah. It was actually after he hit him with that statue.
11:50
That's when Leroy Boyle's like, my husband's trying to kill me.
11:53
And she's like, well, what am I supposed to do?
11:56
It's like, well, if I were you, I'd get a divorce.
11:58
That was my quote for this one.
11:59
Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Well, my quote.
12:02
So her plan is to like run off to Mexico with Nick Cage.
12:05
And when all the cards are on the table, she's like turned on him
12:09
and she's like, we can still go to Mexico.
12:11
And he just goes, fuck Mexico.
12:14
It does have some good little lines in this movie.
12:16
He is only like he is just there for this movie.
12:19
He makes no decision in this film other than to go back to the house
12:24
that drives this story.
12:25
It just kind of happens around him.
12:27
All the driving points and all the character, like all the character arcs
12:30
in this are everyone else.
12:32
And he's just in the middle of it very much like a Mad Max movie.
12:36
Mad Max, for more, I was going to say, like a USA, like 90s TV show,
12:40
like Renegade shows up in a small town, solve small town problems, moves on.
12:45
He's like the Incredible Hulk. Yeah.
12:47
I mean, this very much felt like they could have just made more of these films.
12:51
Just random schmo shows up to town.
12:53
Shit goes sideways.
12:55
I mean, you could find that like all over the place, like that theme.
12:58
Yeah. Right. And it's still popular now, too.
13:01
It's like Reacher is really no different.
13:04
And that was that's what I was thinking of when I watched this.
13:07
I mean, all in all, I thought it was very enjoyable.
13:10
Yeah, I thought it was a really good movie. It was fun.
13:13
Like there's nothing so terrible in it to like tear down and make fun of.
13:17
I mean, Laura Flynn Boyle is like, well, there's a reason
13:21
you don't see a lot of her now.
13:22
She wasn't that entertaining to watch.
13:25
No, I mean, she kind of just was riding the high of being in Twin Peaks, I think.
13:29
Yeah, I feel like that's kind of just what she brought to the table.
13:32
Well, I guess with this one, too, it's just because it felt like I said,
13:36
it felt like a 90s USA afternoon action show.
13:40
I just none of the acting like stood out to me in any way
13:44
other than it was just there to progress the dumbass series of events.
13:49
I don't think any one character.
13:51
Well, I mean, Lyle Dennis Hopper, I think, did a really good job.
13:55
He chewed that scenery so good.
13:57
Yeah, he was also our most larger than life character in the whole thing.
14:02
So Nick Cage doesn't talk a lot in this film.
14:05
No, he doesn't.
14:06
He's a pretty, you know, reserved, easygoing guy.
14:09
Yeah. Who, you know, just wanted some money.
14:13
So the big twist in the film is after they decide to go to
14:16
after they get away and they stay at the comfort in,
14:18
they decide they're going to run to Mexico, which is a great idea.
14:22
You've just met this strange woman who life is embroiled with,
14:25
you know, homicides and you're like, all right, this seems like a good idea.
14:29
We're down to our last, I'm assuming, 20 bucks.
14:32
Mexico seems fine.
14:34
And but she wants to go back and steal half a million, half a million
14:37
from Wayne because it turns out they were bank robbers.
14:42
I thought you were going to say lizard people.
14:44
That would have been that would have been our 9-11 episode.
14:46
That would have been our 9-11 episode.
14:48
Didn't Laura Flynn Boyle play the alien baddie in Men in Black 2?
14:53
I completely purged that film from my mind.
14:56
I know Johnny Knoxville was her like wacky sidekick.
14:59
I just have a weird encyclopedic knowledge of what Johnny Knoxville's in.
15:02
That's fair.
15:03
Oh, there you go.
15:05
Hey, that tracks.
15:07
What else is she doing?
15:08
No, it doesn't matter.
15:08
This isn't a Laura Flynn Boyle podcast.
15:11
It can be.
15:13
I'll Google her later.
15:15
So but yeah, the
15:17
naughtiness ensues.
15:18
The cop the cop show up
15:20
to arrest Wayne because they find the wanted poster.
15:25
Mm hmm. Yeah.
15:26
They say what that came from.
15:27
It was in Kurt's pocket.
15:28
Kurt being Laura's love buddy.
15:31
OK, who was the guy that Nick Cage hit with his car?
15:35
Yeah. All right.
15:36
That guy had a bad go, man.
15:37
He got shot twice and then hit by a car in the rain.
15:40
Yeah. But he was bleeding out, I guess.
15:42
So I'm going to blame the victim here.
15:45
What do you guys think of the the accent work between Lyle and Nick Cage's Michael?
15:50
Well, luckily, Nick Cage didn't speak a lot because it wasn't the strongest accent.
15:55
I thought Dennis Hopper just he had an accent and he committed.
15:58
I don't know if there's different regional dialects in Texas.
16:03
It's a pretty big fucking state.
16:04
I imagine once you get around other border states, it would affect it.
16:10
I had a really hard time watching Dennis Hopper in this
16:13
because I had just been watching clips from Super Mario Brothers.
16:19
I couldn't get that out of my head.
16:21
I love that movie.
16:23
I did. I want to say I did genuinely enjoy this movie.
16:26
I like the Mexican standoff in the cemetery later.
16:30
Yeah. Where they're like digging up the money from the bank robbery
16:33
and everyone's got a gun on each other.
16:36
I like how we keep actually misusing the term Mexican stand up.
16:39
Like, no, like they didn't all have guns.
16:42
There were enough guns.
16:43
Yeah, there were there were guns.
16:45
There was a knife. There was a shovel.
16:46
Yeah, there was a pocket knife.
16:48
I think that counts.
16:48
OK, I forgot to count the shuffle.
16:51
Very important.
16:52
Your Mexican stand.
16:53
Lyle trucks a knife into Wayne's throat.
16:55
Dude, that was slick.
16:56
That was super awesome.
16:57
And also when he slipped the magazine out of the pistol before he threw it down,
17:02
like ejected the magazine while it was pointed up so he could drop the pistol
17:07
and just keep that in his hand and he slid that up.
17:09
That's why when Laura Flynn Boyle had it later, it was empty.
17:13
Yeah, that was cool.
17:14
Yeah. And then Lyle, he's a smooth operator.
17:18
You know, when Lyle and him are tussling at the end, Lyle's dragging him over
17:22
because there's a statue of a soldier with a bayonet.
17:27
And Lyle's just like, I know what I'm going to do.
17:29
I'm going to stab this fucker on that.
17:31
Nick Cage just grabs him and chucks him on it instead.
17:34
I did like that he kind of ghost rider Nick Cage with that chain, though.
17:38
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
17:40
It was a good purge.
17:41
I did enjoy it. I'm going to watch this movie again.
17:43
It might work its way to my rotation.
17:45
I like a romp.
17:46
I like a comedy of errors.
17:49
I like heists that have gone wrong.
17:50
This movie has everything in it that I like in a bad movie.
17:54
And the bonus is it's not even a bad movie.
17:56
It's not even a bad movie.
17:58
But did you notice that there was Rainier beer in the house that he burned down?
18:01
I did not. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
18:02
A case. Oh, awesome.
18:06
I I do want to point out that Scotch is not
18:09
an appropriate accelerant if you're trying to burn a house down.
18:13
It does not have a high enough ABV.
18:15
It's not going to burn hot enough or right
18:19
for you to even set a blanket on fire.
18:22
This is an arson podcast.
18:24
I just want anybody out there who thinks that it's.
18:27
Let's don't say that we're we're on a list for the 9 11 episode.
18:31
Don't start saying this is an arson podcast.
18:34
I'm just concerned with authenticity.
18:37
We don't condone arson.
18:38
But if you're going to do arson, don't do it with Scotch.
18:41
Yeah, there's much cooler things.
18:42
Just hit me up in the comments and we'll DM each other.
18:48
Now, OK, wait, why the fuck would there have been Rainier's in Texas?
18:53
Oh, sorry, Wyoming.
18:54
Some of this was filmed in Montana.
18:56
My time in Montana, I don't remember ever getting like even seen Rainier.
19:02
We mostly drank shit like cocaine, Molson, Labatt's.
19:06
Wasn't the burned down house type movie?
19:08
I mean, that was an abandoned house, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
19:11
So it could have been transients, but how did they get it?
19:14
I don't know. We're really deep diving on this.
19:17
The director of photography was from Seattle, though.
19:19
Well, there you go. We figured out the mystery. Maybe.
19:21
But the director was from Billings, Montana.
19:24
So he should have known better for authenticity.
19:27
Oh, wait, one more thing before we jump to the quotes.
19:30
All right. What the fuck was up with racing the train and jumping it?
19:33
Oh, dude, that was fucking awesome.
19:35
So when Lyle gets Wayne out of prison, he's got Michael driving the car.
19:42
Wayne and Susanna are in the backseat and Lyle's up front with.
19:46
But like so he breaks Wayne out of prison by killing like the deputy
19:51
getting Wayne has Michael drive at gunpoint
19:54
and they're like driving to the tracks.
19:57
Train gets in the way and Michael's just like starting to slow down
20:01
and Lyle just like puts his foot on Michael's foot and just like revs down
20:05
directly at a train.
20:06
Yeah, well, he was trying to get away because the cops saw them.
20:10
Yeah, but like just does that with doesn't tell him to turn, just does it.
20:13
And Michael has to like scoot down and like race the train
20:17
and try and like hop in front of it. It was crazy.
20:20
My note for that was them Duke boys is at it again.
20:23
Did you hear like after the cop came back out
20:25
and he noticed the conversation of like the truck driver and stuff over there?
20:29
Did you hear the one resident was just like, oh, man, what an asshole.
20:33
Oh, this movie just goes out of clip like scene to scene.
20:37
And something happens in every scene to the point where, yeah,
20:40
rad train chase I completely forgot about.
20:43
Did you notice after that whole scene
20:46
when they brought in that chick to run the dispatch for the cops
20:50
in the background behind, you could still see the dead cop
20:53
laying on the ground with just like a sheet over him. Yeah.
20:56
I did like when they're all in the car,
20:59
Lyle's talking to Wayne about how like the biggest con
21:03
Wayne ever did was how do you become sheriff?
21:07
It's just like I got the votes.
21:09
But then Suzanne's like, and you buy everybody in town a beer. Yeah.
21:14
That's how you become sheriff corruption.
21:17
So, you know, authenticity. At least they got that one right.
21:21
And so the final scene is they jump on the hop train with the money,
21:25
with the bag of money.
21:26
And she, you know, she has the gun still that no longer has the magazine.
21:30
She's going to take the money and he's, you know, advances upon her.
21:35
She pulls the trigger. Nothing happens.
21:37
He like takes the money, limps over to the boxcar, open door
21:40
and just starts throwing all the money out and then trucks her off the train.
21:44
Well, yeah, I thought it was strange that the money in the bag
21:48
was just loose bills.
21:50
Well, every other time money has been presented here,
21:52
it's been like banded from a bank.
21:54
There was even one banded piece of money that came out of the bag
21:59
and stayed on the train that Nick Cage found.
22:02
All the money was loose, except for the one that landed in the train.
22:06
Everything else blew away. Yeah.
22:08
And then absurd.
22:10
After he throws her off the train, he slumps down off to his next adventure
22:13
and out of his coat, he pulls one stack of cash.
22:16
It wasn't out of his coat. It was trapped in the door.
22:19
It was trapped in the doorway. That's right. Yeah.
22:20
Yeah. And then he just says, Adios, Red Rocks.
22:26
Adios, Weddwock.
22:27
Weddwock. Adios, Weddwock.
22:31
Do you have a now he's waddo?
22:35
Do you have a quote, Nick?
22:36
Hold on. Did anybody else legitimately think that they saw Nick Cage's penis?
22:42
I had to back it up like five times and I was like,
22:44
are we just seeing his fucking meaty dork right there?
22:48
And I'm pretty sure it was like the other side of his side.
22:51
This was in the scene at the comfort in when he and Suzanne are getting it on.
22:57
Yeah. And she like, you know, slides down the stomach doing the
23:00
I'm going to give you the time of your life thing.
23:04
She's kind of give it a head.
23:06
And it just really, really
23:10
suggestively looks like his wiener. OK.
23:13
Well, we've seen while we're on the subject of his wiener,
23:16
you have some on the subject of Nick Cage's body
23:19
because we've seen his body a lot.
23:21
That's Sternenbush.
23:22
He is a hairy man in this film. Oh, yeah.
23:25
Whereas I think the most other recent time we've seen his
23:29
chastular region was Ghost Rider.
23:31
We is smooth like a baby.
23:33
Yeah. Most times it seems like he's a well,
23:38
most times when he's in a role where he's in fairly decent shape,
23:42
it looks like he does a lot of manscaping.
23:45
There's a lot of times where it's like, oh, you're just like hairy.
23:49
Or it could be a chest marking.
23:50
Could be a chest marking.
23:51
I just want to say chest marking quotes.
23:54
Mine was Fuck Mexico.
23:56
That is a pretty good one.
23:57
Now, we kind of covered both of mine, but I think I really liked the one
24:02
where they start up the Jeep, looks at the gas tank on empty
24:06
and just story my fucking life.
24:09
So I'm glad we just casually discussed all of our quotes
24:12
and really kind of shit the bed here and the big reveal for that.
24:16
Yeah, I'm just going to really chop them up.
24:18
That's good. My quote is when
24:22
and you don't. Mexico.
24:26
So our second film today was Army of One.
24:30
I mean, Dying of the Light.
24:32
It pretty much is just Army of One.
24:34
Nicolas Cage plays an insane person trying to track down a terrorist.
24:38
Just this time written and directed by Paul Schrader.
24:41
So just listen to our Army of One episode and then our doggy dog episode.
24:47
You'll pretty much have all our thoughts on this one.
24:49
Thanks for listening.
24:50
Yeah, good episode, guys.
24:52
No, this one is terrible.
24:56
Not to give up the ghost too early on which is going to win,
24:58
but we were not looking forward to this and it did not disappoint
25:02
with being disappointed.
25:03
Before we get into this, I do.
25:06
This might be an unfair pairing
25:09
because the whole reason dog eat dog happened
25:12
was because Paul Schrader wanted a redo with Nick Cage
25:16
because this movie Dying of the Light was taken out of his hands
25:20
in the editing process.
25:21
So he and Nicolas Cage feel like the movie that we were given
25:25
by the studio does not actually fairly represent their work.
25:30
I can't remember because I purged everything about dog eat dog out of my brain.
25:34
Did he get final cut on that on dog eat dog?
25:37
Yeah. Yes.
25:38
Then they're both they're both terrible.
25:41
Yeah. Did you guys do any diving into trying to find his recut?
25:47
There is not and will never be a recut.
25:49
There is a recut.
25:51
He took the theatrical version and reedited it to be closer to his initial idea.
25:56
But no new film.
25:57
Just he took what was released and like, yeah, it's called dark.
26:01
Yeah, the audio is kind of fucked up.
26:03
And yeah, it's I found it and I started watching some of it,
26:07
but I didn't watch this actual movie.
26:08
So I was like, this doesn't mean shit to me.
26:10
I don't care enough to to see what that would look like.
26:14
I don't consider that truly his cut of the movie.
26:18
Well, it's no, I'm not asking for a Zack Snyder situation
26:22
because that was bullshit, too.
26:23
I don't think anyone is really deeply asking for a Paul Schrader cut.
26:26
Give us the Schrader cut.
26:27
I want to give us a schrader to give me four hours every time Nick Cage is on screen.
26:32
It has to start with like slow motion and Amazon music.
26:36
And so this film stars Nicolas Cage as CIA agent Evan Lake,
26:41
Anton Yelchin, which sad as Milt Schultz
26:46
and Alexander Kareem as Mohammed Baner.
26:49
So Nick Cage plays an older CIA agent
26:53
CIA agent who has been on desk duty
26:57
for about 22 years after being tortured by Baner
27:01
in a pretty gruesome little torture sequence.
27:04
Nick Cage has got a fucked up ear the whole time because he gets tremors to it.
27:08
And all I could think was, you know, you think he fucked up his own ear
27:10
to be more accurate to the character like he did with the birdie?
27:13
No, because the prosthetic looked awful.
27:16
Yeah, it looked so bad.
27:18
I mean, you could tell it was just something built off of his ear.
27:21
Yeah. So now he had one really like kind of wing shaped ear.
27:25
Bizarre.
27:26
Later on, we used to go into go undercover.
27:28
They spirit glue some hair onto his face and give him like a fake ear covering,
27:33
which is just him without the bad prosthetic on it.
27:36
But when he does take that off for the big reveal at the end,
27:38
it's just the big bad prosthetic with an even worse prosthetic glued over.
27:43
You don't see him take like the disguise off.
27:46
It's just like he reaches up to take it off, cut to Baner
27:51
and then cut back to Nicholas Cage.
27:53
And he's just got it pulling away from his face.
27:56
It was like, hey, you've got something in your ear.
27:59
Oh, how did this quarter get here?
28:01
How did my disguise?
28:02
Oh, how did the CIA credentials show up?
28:05
So he has been obsessed with Baner for 22 years since he'd been tortured.
28:10
I guess rightfully so.
28:11
Someone like took a cricket bat to my head and cut my ear off.
28:15
I'd be mad. And he wants back in the field.
28:18
They're trying to push him out.
28:19
They're trying to get him to retire because he has dementia.
28:23
Like he like he goes to a doctor far away and like tries to hide it from,
28:27
you know, CIA.
28:28
He finds out that he has FTD frontal temporal dementia.
28:33
And the next time he goes in, he goes to the Pentagon.
28:36
The director calls him into the office and like, you don't think we keep track
28:41
of like medical records for our agents?
28:43
What's the conceit of this entire thing?
28:45
Is it to make him an unreliable narrator?
28:48
Like, oh, well, fuck.
28:50
What's the point?
28:51
There is none.
28:52
It's just he wants revenge and he is losing his mind and he wants to like,
28:57
finish this last case before he's completely gone.
29:00
But this is the biggest waste of the film for a Nick Cage film.
29:03
You mean like, why give him this disease?
29:06
It's just to complicate things.
29:08
I'll try to give this like a quick two minute linear.
29:11
Yeah, because I didn't watch.
29:13
Yes. So the people at home almost certainly didn't.
29:17
And I don't know why I own this movie on Blu Ray and it's beautiful.
29:21
So Evan, I almost call him Evan Stone.
29:24
It's Evan Lake, the very different actors.
29:27
It would have gotten the exact same performance.
29:30
Both storied careers.
29:31
Evan is tortured by this terrorist.
29:35
Some American agents bust through a wall, Kool-Aid man style.
29:40
They save him in the rescue.
29:42
They determine that Benir is dead because there's this body.
29:46
It doesn't have a head, though, so they can't like definitively say,
29:50
but they're all like, Benir's dead.
29:52
And like, here's the body.
29:53
And Evan, but I keep wanting to call him Evan Stone.
29:56
Evan, he's a porn star, people, and an awesome one.
30:01
Evan is convinced that he never died.
30:04
He gets put on desk duty.
30:05
He does like speeches for recruits and things like that.
30:09
Basically, he gets way demoted because of this.
30:15
And he's always trying to like find leads or whatever
30:18
into whatever could have happened to Benir.
30:20
But can't. He's just like he's hit a stone wall until one day,
30:24
this Kenyan courier gets busted in Bucharest,
30:29
picking up some shit from a doctor.
30:32
He had a USB drive.
30:34
And when he's caught, there's a chase.
30:38
He ends up throwing his USB drive into the river and jumping in.
30:43
The cops go and they like drag it.
30:44
They find it.
30:45
And they find all these like they say they find.
30:48
Porn, Islamic scriptures, angry birds and medical records on this USB drive.
30:55
And so they're like, well, it's kind of damaged.
30:57
We can't really read it.
30:58
So they send it off to Langley.
31:00
And that's how it gets back to Evan that there's these medical records.
31:06
And he's like, oh, like Benir's dad had this disease and like these drugs are used for
31:12
treating that disease.
31:13
So finally, you know, like something's going to happen.
31:16
So finally, you know, like something's come out, like we can chase this down.
31:21
Experimental drugs for a type of rare type of anemia.
31:24
Yeah. Yeah.
31:25
So you see that Benir's got this like blood disease.
31:29
He's got bad bloods, just like Nicolas Cage has a bad brain in this one.
31:34
I think that even comes up in their fight.
31:36
Is there a dialysis fight?
31:38
No.
31:39
Fuck.
31:39
Kind of.
31:40
Well, no dialysis.
31:41
But he's hooked up to a dialysis machine.
31:43
Benir is.
31:44
OK.
31:46
Either way.
31:47
So it's the exact same movie.
31:49
When Evan brings this up, like all this information up to the CIA director,
31:55
the director basically starts to like say, no, that's not true.
32:00
We put a pin in it.
32:02
This is done.
32:03
You're going to have to like just give it up.
32:05
Then we get scenes with Nicolas Cage finding out he's got this frontotemporal
32:10
dementia, which is going to kill him a lot faster than Alzheimer's.
32:13
And so he really just kind of wants to take out Benir at this point.
32:18
He's like, I've got a lot of time.
32:19
And then the CIA has found out that he has this brain disease.
32:24
So they're like, hey, man, you can't do your job anymore.
32:28
You got brain disease.
32:29
You got the brains and you got the brain.
32:32
You got the brain.
32:33
Well, you don't have the brains. Hence why you have to go.
32:35
Yeah. So he's like, there was a fit.
32:39
They escort him out.
32:40
His protege, Milt, the one who brought him the information in the first place,
32:46
played by Anton Yelchin, comes to his house with his stuff later.
32:49
And Nicolas Cage offers him some sake,
32:53
because apparently that's what his character drinks,
32:54
because he goes through two bottles of it in this scene.
32:58
They go over the case and Nick Cage kind of just lays out that,
33:02
you know, he's going to he's going to do it.
33:04
He's just going to go find Benir and like take care of this himself.
33:07
Anton Yelchin and Nick Cage go on a wild adventure to Bucharest,
33:12
find this doctor, confront him and kind of pressure him into like turning.
33:18
So like he'll set up another meeting with Benir's people.
33:22
Benir's right hand man went to Bucharest because the Kenyan never came back.
33:27
Yeah. And obviously he needs the medicine.
33:30
So he's sending more people.
33:31
Also was to bring the doctor back to him.
33:34
Yeah. So now they're going to do a swap once they've, you know, killed Benir's guy
33:40
so that there's no nobody who can say, hey, that's not the doctor.
33:44
They dress Nick Cage up as the doctor.
33:46
He goes to Mombasa, the asshole of Africa.
33:49
Not my words.
33:50
I just have to make that clear because I say a lot of terrible things,
33:53
but I'm not going to put down Mombasa.
33:55
I have a lot of respect for Mombasa.
33:57
So he goes out there.
33:59
They have a scene where Nick Cage, you know, as a doctor shows up
34:04
and he is talking to Benir and goes to the bathroom.
34:09
He's like, oh, the toilet won't flush.
34:11
So Benir's bodyguard goes in there and Nick Cage,
34:14
karate chops him and like knocks him out and locks him in the bathroom.
34:19
Then he goes back out and he's talking to Benir and he's like, oh man,
34:24
your situation's a lot worse than I had expected.
34:27
Blah, blah, blah. Not only is it deteriorating, I'm not a doctor.
34:32
And he like takes off the mustache and takes off the little goatee
34:37
and the fake ear.
34:38
Yeah. And that's when he's like doing the fake ear thing,
34:41
the real ear to fake ear to prosthetic prosthetic ear.
34:45
Yeah, it's earception. And
34:49
I was in Evan Stone movie.
34:52
OK, there's my one joke for the episode.
34:53
I'm going to go back to bed.
34:55
And then they kind of like get all up about each other.
35:00
But he's been Nick Cage has been drugged.
35:02
And so they just kind of argue for a little while.
35:06
And there's a lot of PTSD moments.
35:08
He hasn't been drugged.
35:09
This is like really the one time we see the unreliable sensory perceptions
35:14
because he starts flashing back to the torture while Benir is kind of lecturing
35:18
to him. And so Nick Cage is in and out of the moment.
35:23
And they kind of both realize that they're both dying.
35:26
And just Nick Cage just kind of walks out of there.
35:29
They even like say goodbye to each other.
35:31
It all kind of like stopped when it was like the call to prayer goes off.
35:35
And when he was like, oh, would you help me to like set up my prayer rug?
35:40
And Cage is like, no, I won't do that.
35:42
And then he just like walks out.
35:44
Yeah, that was a good Gary voice.
35:46
Yeah, it's like the same movie is the same movie.
35:49
One man goes to another country to bring a terrorist back for justice.
35:53
How much is left in this?
35:55
Oh, like 10 minutes.
35:56
Yeah. Of me describing.
35:58
Yes. This next scene, though, is probably my favorite scene.
36:03
Oh, yeah. The credits.
36:05
The pool party. Nick Cage goes back to the hotel, meets up with the
36:10
Milt and just tells him like, yeah, I just left him there.
36:13
Oh, I thought he told him like he killed him.
36:15
Like when they when Milt's picking him up in the car.
36:17
Oh, that's not like how was it? Oh, yeah.
36:19
Was it everything you wanted?
36:20
And he's like, oh, man, you should have heard him scream.
36:23
That's right. And it's no.
36:24
But then he's just talking about like all the normal stuff he's going to do
36:26
when he gets back home and they're just at this nice hotel pool.
36:30
And then everybody gets shot.
36:32
Yeah. I mean, not everybody, but like Milt gets shot and he's down.
36:37
And then there's just like bullets flying.
36:38
A lot of other people and so much bad CG bullet holes in people
36:44
and like that aren't rendered correctly.
36:46
And it just looks horrible.
36:48
Yeah. And it wasn't jujitsu bad, but that's what I was trying to think.
36:52
I'm like, where have we seen this before?
36:53
Yeah, it wasn't quite that bad.
36:54
And then he does. Then he goes back.
36:56
Yeah, there's a chase.
36:57
He like fights a couple like Kenyan bodyguards or well, like terrorist bodyguards
37:03
and steals a van from one of them and then goes back to.
37:07
And that's when they have their tussle.
37:09
And then there's old man fight, which has all the energy of two dying old men
37:14
rolling on the ground until Nicholas Cage stabs Binyar
37:18
in the fucking eye with his finger, like holding him down and just slowly.
37:23
Like, well, Binyar is resisting, pushes his finger through his eye
37:27
and then you're just dies immediately from that.
37:30
I want to die immediately.
37:34
And then while driving back, Evans just like had enough of it.
37:39
So he like swerves and just like pitches the van.
37:43
The van in front of a semi and kills himself.
37:47
Fuck that.
37:48
Harrison Ford was originally approached to do this,
37:51
but he didn't want to because of what he cited.
37:56
I'm sure there was more than just this, but his reason for not doing it
38:00
was the bleak ending of the movie.
38:05
Did you see who was supposed to be the the young trainee with Harrison Ford?
38:09
No. Channing Tatum.
38:11
Oh, that would have been a much better film.
38:13
And it shouldn't have been directed by Schrader.
38:16
I've tried to name my tools at work after like Channing Tatum relating things
38:22
like my channel locks.
38:23
I just call my Channing Tatums and my my wire strippers.
38:27
I call my magic Mike. There we go.
38:29
That's good. But do you have a Jupiter ascending?
38:33
I do right now.
38:35
This movie, as a Nick Cage film, is so wasted
38:38
because of the whole story element of him having frontal temporal dementia.
38:43
Because let me give you this is early in the film.
38:45
And when these symptoms are listed, I get I get so excited.
38:50
The doctor's like, you'll be subject to overreaction.
38:53
Perfect for Nick Cage mood swings.
38:55
Hell, yeah. Unreliable sensory perception.
38:58
That could be fun.
38:59
And he kind of just gets uppity and yells at people and tells them to fuck off a lot.
39:04
Yeah, he's just kind of fussy.
39:06
He's yeah, he's just like a fussy old man.
39:08
He like twice he mixes up his words.
39:10
Yeah, like he diamond diamond ruby diamond Tuesdays.
39:14
And that's why I know it was like Ruby Tuesdays.
39:17
He likes it.
39:18
Tells the director, the CIA director to fuck off when security comes to like
39:24
you have to leave the premises.
39:25
He starts like hocking his medals and trophies at them.
39:29
And like he gets hauled out of hauled out of there.
39:33
I just jumped around to random points on the timeline
39:36
and watched like 30 second clips.
39:38
One of them that stood out to me is he's talking to Anton Yelchin.
39:41
He sticks his hand out and then he puts a book on it.
39:44
Oh, that was like, what's that about?
39:45
Oh, so he's got like a shaky hand.
39:47
He's getting tremors.
39:48
Yeah. So he like sticks his hand out.
39:51
He's like, put that dictionary on my hand.
39:54
And then like not even half a beat later, he's just like,
39:58
it's that orange book on the I have a quote here because this was my quote.
40:02
It's like, put that dictionary on my hand.
40:05
It's a book. It's yellow and it's a dictionary.
40:10
Yeah. And obviously, it melts like I know what a dictionary is, asshole.
40:14
Just the dialogue in this movie is so atrocious.
40:18
But like, OK, Nick Cage, actor famously known for going over
40:22
the top insane performances and has given a character
40:26
who is supposed to be subject to overreaction and just losing his shit.
40:30
And all he does is just kind of silently see
40:34
than when he's told to put out a cigarette in a restaurant.
40:37
He just gets angry.
40:39
Yeah. You could have done so much more with that.
40:42
Yeah, it was a real letdown.
40:43
But it's kind of like if somebody tells you to do something and you're just like, no,
40:47
yeah, I don't want to. That's really it.
40:49
I don't want to overreact.
40:51
I'm going to sit here and do nothing because I do that all the time.
40:57
I know. That's how every one of these podcasts starts before we start rolling.
41:01
Very easy to manipulate.
41:02
You just have to tell me not to do something and I will do it.
41:08
Anton Yelchin, I have a hard time looking at his face
41:11
because he looks kind of like a baby and an old man at the exact same time.
41:15
You mean like babies do? Yeah.
41:19
Nick, I'm glad you gave the the breakdown of this film
41:21
because I was just looking at my notes for like the timeline of this film.
41:25
And I'm like, all right, frontal temporal dementia, but you're also sick.
41:28
Hereditary anemia.
41:30
A bunch of shit happens. Milt kills a guy. Oh, man.
41:33
Yeah, you got it.
41:35
How fucking bad is everybody at surveillance in this movie?
41:41
Like the Bucharest police are like across the parking lot
41:45
when the Kenyan courier comes out
41:49
and they're like talking about him and they're in a car and he goes to his car.
41:53
And like before he even gets into his car, the cops turn on their car
41:59
and like their headlights come up and then the Kenyan sees them.
42:02
And it's like, oh, shit, he's made us.
42:04
You guys suck at surveillance.
42:06
So then they like try to follow him and it turns into a chase.
42:09
Then at the end, it's like Evan and Milt are in Bucharest
42:14
and they're trying to find who the new Kenyan guy is going to be
42:18
when he shows up at the hospital.
42:20
So they're like staking out out front and then they see him.
42:23
And then like they watch him again later.
42:25
But they're like all the way across this like festival grounds that's getting set up.
42:30
And they're sitting at a table and both of them are just turned
42:34
180 degrees or whatever.
42:36
It's a look at this guy and they're staring him down.
42:39
So like he comes out of the building and looks out and is like two white dudes
42:44
just fucking mean mugging you.
42:46
So he ran. Yeah.
42:48
Does the CIA agent count as a cop?
42:51
I was going to ask that. Yeah.
42:53
They're all still government.
42:55
I put this in the bad cop category.
42:58
Anton Yelchin counts as a good kid, though.
43:00
Yeah. Good kid. Bad cop. Good kid.
43:02
Bad cop. Good kid. Bad cop.
43:06
Yeah, I think a kid bad cop. Bad cop.
43:09
I want to go back to that that socky thing.
43:12
Like they've got him drinking socky and then later he's in the hotel room.
43:17
He's just sitting full lotus on the bed.
43:20
It's like, what the fuck is with this character?
43:23
Like why they never talk about it?
43:26
There's no justification for things like I'm fine with
43:29
characters existing beyond the movie.
43:32
And I'm OK with like I don't need to have some like everything explained out,
43:38
like why they are the way they are.
43:41
But these are just two isolated incidents
43:45
on either side of the movie that points him to like being a big Japan file
43:50
or whatever, a weeaboo weeaboo weeaboo.
43:53
Yeah, weeaboo. Is that offensive?
43:56
Not to me, because I'm not a nerd.
43:59
I fucking don't care.
44:01
I'm not even going to look this one up.
44:04
Yeah, just publish it, Peter.
44:07
We're doing a no edit episode.
44:11
Yeah, I just don't understand.
44:13
Like those are two things like every other time he drinks a lot in this movie.
44:18
And it's a whiskey, except for when he's at his house
44:21
and he drinks two bottles of sake, well, him and milked.
44:24
That second bottle, he was just mainlining now. Oh, yeah.
44:27
Then at the end of the movie, he's just sitting in like the full lotus position.
44:33
Why is why are you doing this?
44:35
Paul Schrader, why do you do this to us?
44:38
Because he doesn't think.
44:40
Yeah, I feel like at this point, I've seen enough Paul Schrader stuff to just
44:45
know that I don't like him. Yeah.
44:47
I'm kind of curious why Cage wanted to work with him
44:52
and then wanted to work with him again.
44:54
I mean, I get what happened with the, you know, director's cut.
44:57
Yeah, Cage does like to do things to challenge himself, as we've learned.
45:02
Did you feel like he was challenged in this?
45:05
I mean, he did it for a million dollars.
45:07
That's a lot less money than normal.
45:09
So that is a challenge.
45:10
This movie had a five million dollar budget.
45:14
And one million.
45:15
That was Nick Cage's take home.
45:18
And it didn't make fuck all for money.
45:20
No, it did not. It made under 700000 worldwide.
45:25
So what's your what's your quote from this film, Nick?
45:28
Geez, there's so many things that like I enjoyed for different reasons.
45:32
Like there's some lines that are just bad.
45:35
There's bad deliveries there.
45:37
My favorite bad delivery is Nicholas Cage is talking about
45:42
like how they're going to get veneer because he's got this
45:45
disease and stuff, and he's just like, but you just got it.
45:49
It's come out.
45:50
It's in his blood.
45:51
And it's like, what the fuck?
45:54
And he gives it like this stupid like head slide with like sneer.
45:58
It's in his blood.
45:59
It's like, Jesus.
46:01
His first big line in this film is when he comes out on stage.
46:04
It's so we see him getting tortured.
46:07
We see him get hit with a cricket bat.
46:08
Twenty two. Then it immediately cuts to 22 years later.
46:12
Evan looks exactly the same except he has gray hair.
46:14
Now and it fucked up here.
46:16
And he walks out on stage to talk to like new CIA cadets.
46:20
And I'm not going to do the whole line, but like just the delivery
46:23
and the and the writing here just told me this was going to be awful,
46:28
which is what the hell are you doing here?
46:31
Haven't you heard the CIA fell from the Berlin wall
46:34
and all the president's men can't put it back together again?
46:37
Yeah, it's awful. It's the dumbest little speech.
46:40
It's broke. It's not reliable, not trustworthy.
46:44
And it just keeps going.
46:45
And for some reason, like it's in like a freezing cold room
46:49
because you can see the steam on his breath.
46:50
But all the cadets are in T-shirts.
46:53
I do like one of his better freakouts, though, to the CIA director.
46:56
You've got your head so far up Obama's ass that all you can see is his shit anymore.
47:01
OK. Well, so this isn't like a favorite quote, but I liked it.
47:06
And I want to it bounces off of Sean mentioned
47:10
when he was told to put out a cigarette earlier.
47:12
He pulls out his like plane ticket or whatever.
47:15
Let me check something. Yep. I am in Romania.
47:19
Are you out of your fucking mind?
47:20
This whole country is a smoking section.
47:23
I couldn't remember the exact quote. That's why.
47:26
Yeah. This next quote starts with the name Baniere,
47:29
but my phone auto corrected it to beanie.
47:31
So I'm just going to read it as my phone has it.
47:33
Beanie boy. Yeah.
47:35
It's just like beanie. You think you can hide?
47:38
Nobody can hide from the Reaper.
47:40
Are you the Reaper? Yes.
47:43
Of our time, this and Dog Eat Dog, like the two
47:46
Schrader films we've watched for this have been God awful.
47:51
This might be my least favorite and least rewatchable film to date.
47:56
Dog Eat Dog is at least so weird and has so many just what the fuck moments
48:01
that I was entertained and willing to show that I was entertained
48:04
enough to watch it twice.
48:06
I couldn't watch this one the second time.
48:08
This one is a bit of a slog.
48:11
I mean, I still watched it twice, but I'm just made of tougher, stronger stuff.
48:15
Yeah, that's fine. I don't. I got that good metal.
48:17
Oh, yeah, that's it. You can have that.
48:19
You can have that metal.
48:21
I'm going to I'm going to keep those 90 minutes of my life.
48:23
Oh, man. Nick, which movie would you like to move forward with?
48:28
That's a really tough one, because I've already set the president
48:32
of liking Army of One.
48:36
But this isn't nearly as unhinged as that.
48:39
No, and that's unfortunate.
48:40
Yeah, this one actually should have been more extreme
48:45
than the true story.
48:47
But it wasn't.
48:49
No, I mean, Red Rock West.
48:51

Someone give Nick a comment, please. God somebody.
49:47
I just want to stop talking about the comments.
49:50
Mostly so we can figure out where they are.
49:52
All right. All right. From all of us here in my apartment.
49:59
Good night. God bless.
50:02
By Nicholas Cage. Bye.
50:08
Or didn't hear that.
50:09
God damn it.
50:11
More. I just hit myself in the face with my own microphone.
50:16
I have done that so many times.
50:18
I fucking hate both of you.
50:20
Why did you let me talk you into this?
50:23
Well, it sounds like a you problem. I'm aware.
50:26
Look, I'm just here because you have a bathroom and limited toilet paper.
50:29
Thanks, Hayden. You're supposed to buy toilet paper today.
