0:00
Dead Maiden. The sun is shining out of cloud in the sky. We
0:06
wouldn't know because we're so happy inside. Some people boo boot on some skis,
0:13
but we would rather sit on down and talk some movies. Where the
0:18
Abbot Indoorsmen gun. Listen to our show where the Abot Indoorsmen at home on
0:25
the go. We're the Avid Indoorsman. We hope you so come on in
0:32
and stay. We'll do our best to make you smile. We're indoors man.
0:41
What's happening? I'm Rob lan Quist. Come on and we're the Avid
0:45
Indorsement. Hi everybody, how are you today? I'm doing pretty well,
0:49
buddy. We're recording a little earlier than usual, which is good. Nice.
0:53
Yes, yeah, I don't know. Life is good. I just
0:58
did a gig with the boys last night for silly good time. Yeah box
1:03
had have you ever been to the Burrow up here? In every pool would
1:08
not really buy you? So that makes sense. It is sort of a
1:11
Dave and Buster's e kind of place, cool but slightly more adult, with
1:17
like ax throwing and things like that mixed in there too. And actually they
1:21
just did a total remodel and took out some go karts and added a bunch
1:26
of pickle pickleball courts because that's the hot thing. That's a thing. Yeah,
1:30
but it's super cool. And there they got a bar, they got
1:33
really great food. Box got asked to do a gig there because we know
1:38
the folks that are over there, and he invited the Neapolitans to join him.
1:44
So they did a lot of work and then I did a little bit
1:47
of work and it was fun, very cool. It was perfect, very
1:52
very cool. Do you guys have so do the Neapolitans have like a website
1:56
or anything fun like that or is it just part of peat boxes stuff?
1:59
Just part of Peatbox this thing really yeah, but yeah we do. Like
2:05
it's an It makes for an interesting mix because you know heat boxes like that,
2:07
like funk with a little bit of like hip hop mixed in some R
2:13
and B and then we do some yeah now we do do what do which
2:17
is that fits with the nerdiness but now with the rest of it super You
2:22
can't put him into a box man over the place. Honestly, I love
2:25
it, like it's super goofy and silly. Last night they had a super
2:29
fun thing because we each have like boxes chocolate alas vanilla. Read is strawberry,
2:36
and I am pistachio, now you know, neapolitan or whatever. But
2:40
they made special like boozy ice cream drinks for each flavor, and we had
2:46
like a competition and stuff, and we we sang like two songs about this
2:51
competition and just like who won and stuff, and it was just very silly,
2:53
just off the cuff, yeah, off the cuff, just because him
2:58
and Read play off each other. They're super well out plays keys and sings,
3:01
so like he can jump in super easily and I just hang out until
3:06
I'm pointed to or whatever. So it's it's a good setup for me.
3:09
That's awesome, man. But yeah, it's just all that to say.
3:13
He just yeah, he goes, He goes wherever the mood takes him,
3:15
and it's it's a fun little ride. But yeah, adding do up to
3:19
his shows works better than you would think. I feel like strange. Yeah,
3:23
it's very it's weird, but it's a good time. So nice.
3:28
It was fun. Good, it's fun. How about you have you,
3:31
Ben? I've been good. My boys started kindergarten, which is crazy.
3:35
It blows my mind. That is nuts. We are dealing with that we
3:40
had a really fun, fun first day. Yeah, yeah, it got
3:46
all the pictures, got all emotional. It's really fun. I love that.
3:51
I love that. So I got two kids in school. The days
3:53
are really Uh, I'm just here by myself now, you're like, what
3:57
am I supposed to do? What am I doing? Well? Next week
4:00
I leave for Europe for three weeks, Yeah, which is gonna be awesome
4:06
and a long time. So I'm just prepping mentally and actually physically having to
4:13
go and prep to be gone for three weeks. Like it's gonna be a
4:15
long time for everybody, long time for Cal's, long time for you,
4:20
like get locked up for the kids. Yeah, but it'll be great.
4:25
That's gonna be a fun tour for sure. Yeah. And I haven't been
4:28
there since twenty twenty, and we we didn't get to see all of it
4:31
at that point. We'll shut down and everything, so it'll be it'll be
4:34
good to go back. If it happens again while you guys are there,
4:36
we're gonna have a problem. We're gonna you guys will have a stink on
4:40
you that we're gonna have for sure, we're gonna have to address. Yeah,
4:43
we'll just always stay home, we just will do so we can't go
4:46
there anymore, so we'll just do concerts at home because we are guys a
4:50
big jinx. Yes, yeah for sure. Ye. Well, nice dude,
4:55
that sounds fun. How about movies, So we've been watching any movies?
4:59
Well, it's fu honey, you bring that up. So I had
5:00
a fun little father Sunday the day before Charlie had his first day of kindergarten.
5:05
And one of the things we did we went to the theater and we
5:11
checked out the new Pixar film Elemental. Oh what did you think? Because
5:15
I haven't seen it yet. Yeah. So it's it's all about the four
5:18
elements. So you got firewater, earth, and air and they lived together
5:23
in a city. But this is like the most like love story that I've
5:28
ever seen from Pixar. It's kind of like a Romeo and Juliette story where
5:32
two folks from different backgrounds fall in love and it's complicated and all the exactly
5:40
right. So and I thought it was okay. It's certainly not my favor
5:45
of the Pixar films, sure, and I only recognized Catherine O'Hara and Wendy
5:50
McClendon Covey's voices. Oh, I didn't know the two leads at all.
5:56
They were all good, like, they all are good voices and stuff.
6:00
It was. It was pretty funny and there were some romantic parts, very
6:03
romantic parts, and it was hilarious. So Charlie would like put his hands
6:10
over his eyes he could like see him getting embarrassed, or he would literally
6:15
put his head behind my bet And I was like, what do you think
6:21
about them kissing? And he was like, I hated that part. I
6:26
hated it. It was really really funny, but he liked it. He
6:30
liked it. Decide to all the mushy stuff. Yeah, right, but
6:35
it's uh, I probably I think you're good just waiting for Disney Plus.
6:41
That was kind of the impression I had had already. So this is good
6:43
that it's saying. It is confirming that I'm actually surprised it's not already on
6:47
Disney Plus. Yeah. It's been out for a little while. Just aren't
6:50
any other kids movies out, and I feel like the theater is really like
6:55
to have that kid money coming in, and the I suppose all this stud
7:00
videos are like, well, there's not a lot coming out right now,
7:02
so why not just keep it like if people are still going, I guess
7:06
I don't know how that works financially, but why there were still people there
7:11
in the middle of the day. Yeah, that's crazy day. So I
7:15
really wanted to bring him to teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles, but it just seemed
7:16
just a tad too old for him, just a little, I think,
7:20
just a couple more years. I don't know what the rules are on that,
7:24
but I feel like your your gut reaction on that was probably right,
7:29
and you would know better than you know anybody right for your kiddos. But
7:33
yeah, I could see that, I could see him. I think he'll
7:35
like it more in a couple of years if nothing else right, and well,
7:39
then I'm going to force him to watch it and be a huge fan.
7:42
Oh yeah, well there'll be three of them, probably by them,
7:45
I would sure hope. So me too, Yeah, me too, buddy.
7:47
Nice What about you. Have you been watching any movies? Yeah?
7:50
I went to the theater as well. Did you did not see a kid's
7:55
movie? Saw the Equalizer three? Though Boom really got in there the third
8:03
one, Equalizers, I assume we okay, Nice, I missed the second
8:09
one for some reason. The first one is a delight, The second one
8:13
good not as good. This one pretty darn fun. I really liked it
8:18
quite a lot. It is kind of exactly what you think you're getting.
8:22
It's Denzel being a total badass and just he's this guy with sort of this
8:31
like mysterious kind of path past. We know that he worked for an intelligence
8:37
agency or intelligence adjacent and he's got a lot of skills to kill people,
8:43
but he's like out of that and you know, just just a dude hanging
8:48
out now. But yeah, it's a high body count, lots of action
8:54
and violence. Uh, I had a great time. If you think that
8:56
sounds okay to you, you're gonna like Denzel's great. Dakota Fanning was fun
9:03
in this as like an adult role. I don't know that I've seen her
9:07
in an adult ish role. I can't think she was like an adult adult
9:13
in this one. That was just kind of cool, and she was good.
9:16
I mean, she's always been good, so I guess that makes sense.
9:20
Other than them, not like a ton of other people. You would
9:22
know, Roy from the Office is in it for a hot minute. That's
9:28
about it. There's not like a lot of other super recognizable folks in it.
9:31
But it's just a great time. It's super well shot, very beautiful.
9:35
It takes place over on the Amalfi Coast, is kind of where this
9:39
one gorgeous, right yeah, and the oh you would like this and I
9:46
forgot to look at it. But the Fuqua is the one who directed it.
9:52
But the training day and stuff. Photography guy Robert Richards Sin it's his
10:01
name. Does that ring a bell for you? Here? It is?
10:05
He did like Kill Bill Volume one, Inglorious Bastards, Oh, Quentin's Aviator
10:09
Once upon a Time in Hollywood. Yeah, so a lot of Quintins and
10:13
folks. Yeah, yeah, a ton of movies. Yeah, and you
10:18
could tell because it was just gorgeously shot. But it was I'm sorry it
10:24
was Dakoda Fanning and the other Equalizer movies. No, that's the thing about
10:30
these, they're kind of anthology except for the main role. Sure. So
10:35
yeah, it's fun because I haven't seen those two together since Man on Fire,
10:41
which was, right, such a great movie, and that was like
10:45
twenty years ago. Now on Fire, I kind of want to watch that
10:48
again. Actually, I was just saying that the index. It's so good.
10:52
I think it's interesting. Denzel and Liam. They waited until they got
10:56
pretty old to really be like action stuff. It's weird, right, I
11:01
mean, it's cool. It is funny though in this one especially, there's
11:07
like when you're really looking for it, there's a lot of allusions to him
11:11
doing stunts more than him doing sphysically. It's a lot of like they cut
11:16
away and come back to the aftermath, you know, which I was like,
11:20
well, the dude's like, I think we figured out he's almost seventy
11:22
or something, right, so it's like, well, yeah, I guess
11:26
that's fair, you know, for sure, but it still looks cool and
11:30
honestly, you wouldn't notice that unless you were really thinking about that, you
11:33
know, or whatever. But it was funny because it was he didn't get
11:37
in a lot of like actual combat situations, you know, where they could
11:43
show his hands or sure, yeah, I feel like that could be a
11:48
good SNL. Sure, like really old actions star you can't if the camera
11:56
has to stay on you the whole time or you're dead, you know,
11:58
it's one of the camera. It was a way that you're in trouble.
12:01
But yeah, it was. It was really fun. We had a great
12:03
time. Nice man, Yeah, have you been streaming anything fun boy have
12:09
I I saw that physical? The Apple TV Plus show with Rose Byrne had
12:15
its third season out. Well, I watched the first season back during COVID.
12:20
Yeah, but I realized I had never watched the second season, so
12:24
I went back and watched that and it was great. Again. I can't
12:28
really imagine another person in that role. She's so wonderful in it, Rose
12:33
Byrne. That is Yeah, it's definitely more dramatic acting than being funny in
12:37
this one. And there are some pretty big like trigger warnings for people with
12:43
eating disorders, but I thought this season tackled that really well and she like
12:48
actually has to confront some of her problems finally, or before that first season
12:52
she was just kind of running away from when it was really really unhealthy.
12:56
Were like this, Yeah, well, in every episode they put on there
13:00
like hey, you know, this is the thing for you. It's like
13:03
a warning you know which, But it's it's great, man, it's really
13:09
well done. And also the second season guest stars Murray Bartlett, who we
13:15
loved so much from like The White Lotus that first season oh yeah yeah,
13:20
and that one episode of the Last of Us with Nick Offerman. Yes,
13:24
he is so great man. He's honestly one of my favorite actors out there
13:31
right now. Everything that he's doing I think is wonderful. But yeah,
13:37
he's He's a really fun character in season two and I kind of flew through
13:41
it, so but the third season is out now, so I'll probably when
13:46
I'm in Europe, I'll probably tackle that. But yeah, you're probably gonna
13:48
get some stuff watched. Well you're gone, I would get probably a lot.
13:52
Yeah, Yeah, for surely that's great, dude. Yeah, check
13:56
it out on Apple TV Plus. If that sounds interesting, love it?
14:01
What have you been streaming? I went back in the catalog a little bit
14:05
to a movie I'd never seen from twenty ten? Did you ever see the
14:09
Anne Hathaway Jake Ellenhall Another Drugs? Yeah? Did you see that ever?
14:16
I did see it? Yeah, I hadn't. As far as I can
14:20
recall. None of it seemed familiar. Sure, Yeah, kind of an
14:24
interesting amalgamation of stories. It sort of starts out as like a like almost
14:28
like a Wolf of Wall Street kind of thing, where this guy is like,
14:31
he's really motivated guy salesman trying to figure out his place in the world,
14:37
and then sort of morphs into a love story between the two of them
14:41
in a big, tragic love story. Yeah, I really liked it though.
14:45
I thought it was really great. Those two have such great chemistry together
14:48
that it was super fun. And I'm just I'm surprised. I had never
14:52
seen it up till now, underrated film. People didn't really talk about it
14:56
much except for they have some gratuitous nudity in it, which got a lot
15:03
of attraction. That was about it. That was all I heard about it.
15:05
They are yeah, they're naked a lot in it, Yes, yes,
15:09
and yeah it gratuitors are not. I don't know that I'm the one
15:13
to say that, but I've seen crazier. But it was. It was
15:18
sure for sure. There was just yeah that was a big head made the
15:20
headlines right right. Yeah, So yeah, I don't know, I thought
15:26
it was really good. I liked it quite a lot. I was kind
15:28
of surprised by it. I didn't know what I was getting into, and
15:31
it was had more depth. I guess maybe it's the right thing to say
15:35
for sure any more. Yeah, so, well, especially when you hear
15:39
it's just you know, two attractive people getting it on through it's it's a
15:43
lot more than that, for sure. Loving other drugs is what it's called.
15:46
I was like, oh, rom com City, and it was like,
15:48
well, kind of, but there's other stuff for surely, so it's
15:56
a yeah. I was. I was impressed. I was happy to find
16:00
an oldie, but a goodie there, so nice. Uh what do you
16:04
think, though, should we do? If you plug a rooney? I
16:07
would love to do that. Okay, great, Well why don't you go?
16:10

16:12

17:04
another perk that we like to give our patrons is an extended version every episode
17:10
we put out, we call it our podcast and chill version. And for
17:12
this one we talked about doing. Were you able to look this up?
17:15
We hadn't talked about it. Yeah, you do it? Okay, I
17:21
think I made it work. So the topic is top five movies where a
17:26
character is frozen? But I mean we could just say where a character is
17:30
frozen. That's easier, okay, So okay, cool, cool, Cool?
17:36
I have exactly enough, and I assume there'll be something I forgot or
17:38
whatever. Sure, you know, so frozen and then wakes up later is
17:42
kind of what we're talking about. Yes, cool? And if I screw
17:45
up, we'll figure it out. You know, it'll be fun. Yeah,
17:48
So are we doing the movies or characters? Let's just is does that
17:52
matter to you? It doesn't matter to me. Great ten movies I mean,
17:56
there's more than one in a movie. Oh, I guess there's more
17:59
than one of this one and this one we're going to talk about. I
18:02
did movies, I guess then. Yeah, right, but beautiful, awesome,
18:04
cool, awesome, We got that figured out right now. I promise
18:08
the end chill is more interesting than that heard so well, yeah, not
18:15
a lot more interesting, but a little bit. Yeah, for sure.
18:19
Comic attractions, we don't really know. Rob is going to be on tour
18:23
in the Europe region, and we probably will have to take a week off
18:30

18:33
I guess that's all I got for you. Boom boom boom. Yeah,
18:37
it won't be it's for sure going to be a week off, probably
18:40
won't be two weeks. But we're also not going to make any promises,
18:41
you guys. Yeah, you never know, you know, you get get
18:45
sometimes you get back from from a trip and you're extra tired, or you
18:48
caught a cold or who knows, yeah, who knows. I mean,
18:51
we'll see what happens. But I do know that I don't want to lug
18:53
all my podcast stuff over and miss Europe there because I'm gonna check Europe out.
18:59
Yeah yo, yeah, and also the time difference that wouldn't really work
19:02
in dude math. Yeah, math's hard. But yeah, so come check
19:07
us out. Plenty of good stuff coming your way, but definitely good stuff
19:11
coming your way today as we are going to talk about a movie from back
19:17
in the day from nineteen hundred and ninety three. That's right, the nineteen
19:22
hundreds, guys. Yeah, yeah, we're talking about Demolition Man today.
19:26
Yes, WHOA so excited? I'm glad you're excited. I am too.
19:33
Why don't you get us started with just a rough synopsis? I would love
19:37
to okay, with innocent victims caught in the crossfire in Los Angeles's intensifying war
19:44
on crime, both cop John Spartan and the violent thug Simon Phoenix are sentenced
19:48
to a state of frozen incarceration known as cryo prison. When Spartans finally thoughts
19:56
thirty six years later, it's twenty thirty two, Lots Angelis is now a
20:00
pacifist utopia called San Angelus, but with Phoenix again on the loose, Spartan
20:06
must team up with future cop Lanina to apprehend the killer. Nice, nice,
20:15
Nice, Let's go to Ron Tomatos and hear what they have to say.
20:18
Critics have this coming in. It just a rock solid sixty two percent
20:22
game, all right, D minus woo, we'll take it. Yeah,
20:26
it gets us out of here. Audience members just to tick above that at
20:30
sixty seven percent, so they liked it more D plus that's good, right,
20:36
Yeah, yeah, Well let's hear what. Let's hear what we think.
20:38
Rob, It's time for our hot tacks. Oh, Chase, that's
20:45
a hot take. That's a hot take. I don't know that I have
20:48
a super hot take for this one, but I will start. I this
20:52
was not a movie that I watched a ton as a kid. I really
20:56
I feel like I missed it, Like if this is one of those weird
21:00
ones, so I came into it. I don't have any of the fun
21:03
nostalgia stuff that you get from watching these. Yeah, but it was actually
21:08
I feel like it's going to sound like I'm being negative. I liked this
21:11
movie for what it was quite a lot. It is a silly action movie.
21:17
It's got some goofy lines in it. It's mostly just a good silly
21:21
time and I'm always here for that. I do really like that, but
21:25
I don't have any of the nostalgia of being like I used to love that,
21:27
you know, like so it's just a little bit of a different experience.
21:33
I thought, you know, like it's super fun, like all the
21:37
any movie that has like technology and time has changed, I'm gonna be in
21:41
for because I just think that's a fun thing. Or the other way works
21:45
too, right, someone goes back in time. That's like a weird you
21:48
know, it's just they're fun there. It's a fun context for a movie.
21:53
I love it a lot. The three cshells bit continues to be one
21:57
of my favorite like silly things the movie's ever done, and it's evergreen because
22:03
it doesn't make any sense in just the best ways. And that's I feel
22:08
like there's a lot of that sort of like kind of humor that was like
22:14
this is for the writers and for people who are okay with things just being
22:17
silly and dumb, and you know, it felt kind of idiocracy ish to
22:22
me at Bluence, which is kind of fun. I had a good time
22:26
with that. It also felt like it's like a tiny bit of a libertarian
22:32
fantasy of what the future could be if certain people are in political power,
22:38
which is interesting and maybe that's my own you know, slapped coming in there.
22:42
But overall it's just super silly. It's super fun. There's a lot
22:47
of great action in it. And I think my hottest take is that the
22:52
clocks for this one should probably be the buzzer sound that happens. It's a
23:00
good call. I will note to myself when I'm doing the edit, I'll
23:03
try to find that somewhere that's really funny, because I was like, oh,
23:07
that'd be perfect, that would be fun. So I'll try to find
23:11
a clean one for us. That's wonderful. I love that good call,
23:15
man, that's my hot take, Buddy, hot take. Well, yeah,
23:21
I thought we were in the same boat. I thought we both watched
23:23
this one a ton. I just assumed that for some reason. But this
23:30
was one of my favorites growing up, and it was arguably much more compelling
23:37
and awesome when I was ten than when when I was forty. But I
23:44
had the benefit of all that nostalgia while watching, so so I enjoyed it.
23:48
I don't think I would have been as positive as you just were coming
23:53
into it cold. But it's not like a great film, but it's a
24:00
movie, but it is fun. But I just have all that history with
24:03
it, which I love so much. It was directed by a guy named
24:07
Marco Brambilla and or maybe bram Bia, I'm not sure, but he had
24:14
never directed a movie before this, which I thought going straight into well,
24:19
no, he had done a C and C Music Factory video before this movie.
24:25
Wow, But to just go straight into like a big budget action movie
24:30
like this seems pretty daunting wild, And he really hasn't done much else.
24:36
Like four years later, he did that Excess Baggage movie with Alicia Silverstone,
24:40
which was kind of but he really didn't do any other like real motion picture
24:49
things after that, so it's kind of, yeah, this is the few
24:53
things he did. But I really enjoyed the cast, and it was my
24:59
first time seeing Sandra Bullock, and I fell completely head over heels in love
25:04
with her. I thought she was the most beautiful and the most wonderful,
25:11
and it was fun because it was her first time acting alongside Benjamin Bratt before
25:15
they would team up over a decade later in This Congeniality. So I liked
25:18
that. And I saw that she was actually nominated for a Razzie for this
25:25
film, which is blasphemy because she is a delighted delight. Yeah, nothing
25:32
razzi about her. If anything, the role is a little whatever. I
25:36
thought she role right, But I thought she was very good as Lenina Huxley.
25:45
Love all those lines that she made that probably other people didn't like.
25:48
That's like my whole quote list. It's her goofy messing up phrases like exactly.
25:57
And this was kind of the beginning of when Wesley Snipes was like,
26:00
I'm gonna get super jacked because he I mean, he was always in good
26:04
shape, like major league and white men can't jump, and we knew he
26:07
was funny and stuff, but this is where you're like, oh, he's
26:11
gonna like really devote some time in the gym and get real ripped. But
26:18
I loved I loved all the fun gags in this Again the three C shows,
26:22
I bring that up so much, so silly. If there's a by
26:29
the way, yeah, but I love bringing that up. I love that
26:33
Taco Bell became the fancy restaurant. I love that their music was super old
26:41
commercial jingles. There was just a lot of weird, kookie fun stuff in
26:45
this movie. Yeah, yeah, A lot of good time, A lot
26:49
of good times watching this. It was fun to revisit one aside. I
26:53
was like so into movies at this time. I always have been, but
26:59
I was so excited when they made the Planet Hollywood restaurants, and I can
27:03
distinctly remember being at a Planet Hollywood and seeing the John Spartan big ice cube
27:12
of him in it. I don't know if it was the one at the
27:17
Mall of America or when we went to California when I was a kid.
27:19
Cool I got to see that and I thought that was the coolest thing ever
27:26
in there and everything. I didn't really see much in there, but I
27:30
just I couldn't believe that they brought like real movie stuff to this restaurant.
27:36
So that was like, if if I had a choice of where we could
27:40
go eat, it was Planet Hollywood. I didn't actually even know there was
27:45
one in Minnesota, so oh yeah, I didn't make it there a lot.
27:48
We got the Mall of America one. It wasn't like right away,
27:52
but but yeah, I definitely did that one a few times when I was
27:56
a kid. Absolutely, just the little movie thing, like when we went
27:59
to that place in Chicago where that had Last of Wayne's World stuff, and
28:03
absolutely I just geek out over that kind of stuff. The plan of Hollywood
28:08
was my jam. Yeah, and s it was a big part of that.
28:12
He was like one of the It was him and Bruce Willis and to
28:17
me more, Oh yeah, for sure, that's great. I guess that's
28:19
my hottest take. I don't have a hot take either. Take hot take,
28:25
hot take, buddy, Yeah, I love that. That's fine.
28:29
Well, what do you think should we go in and talk about our favorite
28:32
acting performance? Should we name the dude? I'm the dude, so that's
28:37
what you call me, you know that? Or his dudeness or duder or
28:44
you know, elduderino. If you're not into the whole brevity thing. Nice.
28:48
Do you want to go first on this? Sure? Why not?
28:51
Okay? I really thought I was going to pick Wesley Snipes is Simon Phoenix
28:55
because he's so loud and fun. But yeah, Stallone holds it down,
28:59
man, and he has the he has the serious and the funny locked down.
29:03
So yeah, I had to go with Sly in this role. But
29:07
if you picked Snipes, I totally get it. I didn't, Yeah,
29:12
yeah, totally yeah. So I mean that's about all I had to say
29:17
about that. I just thought he was really good and just a lot of
29:19
typical Sly kind of same. But I was just like, I think Wesley
29:25
just gets it just a tiny bit more for me. But I also liked
29:29
Sly. I thought he was really funny. I thought he was going to
29:32
be more dry the whole time than he ended up being, so that was
29:36
fun. But I just thought it was fun to just see Wesley Snipes just
29:41
get to kind of be as crazy as he wanted to be and just go
29:47
nuts. And I really liked that. I thought he held it down.
29:49
He's not like a super two dimensional character, that's for sure. Yeah he's
29:56
yeah, but he's he's fun and he's compelling, So I picked it well.
30:00
And up to that point, he hadn't done any bad guy stuff like
30:03
he was a hero or common belief and everything, so which is almost funny
30:07
to think about because he's so good at that. Yeah, he can do
30:11
kind of everything. We knew he had the comedic stuff, so we knew
30:14
like the cheesy action lines were gonna work. Yeah, right to him being
30:19
like really like evil and stuff, it was. It was a big turn
30:22
for him. And yeah, Daddy did a good job too. I'm with
30:26
you. I I liked it a lot yeah, yeah. Nice. Well
30:30
then let's go to the supporting roles and let's do that, j J.
30:36
So why don't you go first? You kind of picked the the supporting role
30:41
for your dude, So what are you gonna go for? A Sandy B.
30:45
Yeah, she's just the best. I love her. I think the
30:49
first thing I saw here in was probably speed, which was probably right after
30:52
this, I would I think it was ninety five, Yeah, just right
30:56
after pretty close, right, So but yeah, she's just great. I
31:00
don't know, I think she's super fun. I agree with you, like
31:04
the part is not amazing. It's a very early nineties lady part. I
31:10
feel like, you know, but she gets to kind of be the badass,
31:14
and you know, she has some stuff she gets wrong, but it's
31:17
not because she's dumb or anything. It's just because a lot of time has
31:21
passed and all that. Maybe that should have been my hottest take. Has
31:26
enough time passed on the calendar for all these things to be so different?
31:30
I don't know about that because it isn't only like forty years difference six but
31:37
I was counting, but yes, uh yeah, I don't know. Is
31:41
that enough time? Yeah, it was a big change. Well, it
31:44
sounds like in the movie they said it pretty much got like wiped away,
31:48
right the big earthquake, so they kind of had to rebuild everything. Yeah,
31:52
that's a good call. And also I think that's the reason a lot
31:56
of stuff that's roughly our age, a lot of stuff is very different.
31:59
So yeah, maybe maybe it is that different. Anyway, I got that
32:02
tracked. Sandy B is a delight. I just thought she was super badass
32:07
and fun and uh yeah, I don't know. Also like light. She
32:10
kept it like light enough that it felt like, oh, we can just
32:15
have fun and we don't need to They're not all taking this crazy seriously in
32:20
a bad way, you know what I mean, Like it's just a good
32:22
time. So yeah, nice, I picked her. What did you have
32:24
for your She did speed in ninety four. I looked it up just to
32:29
make it was the next year. Yeah. Nice. So yeah, I
32:32
would have went Wesley Snipe because I picked Sylvester stallone, which makes sense.
32:37
Oh yeah, I probably would have picked Sly Yeah but anyway, Yes,
32:42
So then Sandy B would have been number two for the reasons you said,
32:45
she's so wonderful. Love. My number three would have to be a guy
32:50
who is uncredited Rob Schneider as Erwin. I don't know why he's uncredited,
32:55
but I don't know either, And he was fun, so fun. But
33:00
I loved Rob Schneider from SNLU. He was in Necessary Roughness, which you
33:07
know was one of my favorites growing up. Yes, same here, but
33:09
yeah, that's one where we crossed over big time. We both loved that
33:14
big time. But yeah, just some great comic relief throughout. Didn't have
33:20
a lot to do, but when he was on there, he made me
33:22
laugh and super super fun. That's like one of the big things for the
33:25
tooch A runner up was Dennis Leary. He's fun, Yeah, dude as
33:32
friendly well and that was his that was his bit. So he was a
33:37
comedian before and it was like, I'm going to be fast talking, I'm
33:39
grumpy and these are the things I'm going to gripe out. And I liked
33:45
that he got to show that off. Yep, you know, yep,
33:50
I'm with you on that. It was fun. Did you see the other
33:52
dude in here that we both love so much? Are we talking about the
33:57
dude from Beetlejuice? We're not well that do love Glenn Chaddocks as well.
34:01
I love him. So, yes, are you talking about our old governor?
34:07
Nope, I'm talking about Jack Black. Has an uncredited performance in this
34:12
or maybe it's credited, but he doesn't have a line. He's knew he
34:16
was in this movie. And now, granted I watched this very early in
34:22
the morning on a flight and I was like, I thought Jack Black was
34:25
in it. I didn't see him. I didn't remember seeing him in this
34:29
watch. So he is right behind Dennis Leary when they're in like the sewer
34:36
system or the underground, right after they eat the rat burger and all that
34:42
stuff happens when they when they're like getting the lowdown of what's actually happening and
34:46
how they're being taken advantage of the stuff. He's just right behind Dennis Leary.
34:51
He's just one of the dudes. He doesn't say anything, he doesn't
34:53
do anything. Yeah, he's yeah, literally, he's just standing there and
35:00
and you know he's so like young and tiny that it's almost hard to tell
35:04
tim even but sure, but I saw it him in the trivia later and
35:07
I was like, oh, that was him. Cool that it's kind of
35:09
fun. So because I always remembered, you know, seeing that on his
35:14
IMDb and I was like, I don't remember him from that movie. And
35:15
then I didn't even see him in this last watch right yeah really look yeah
35:22
yeah, but for sure, so throw him out. But yeah, glench
35:25
Addocks is so fun. I love him. Uh, he was great.
35:31
Bob Gunting from Shawshank was fun seeing him. That was great. He was
35:37
kind of big there in the early to mid nineties doing a lot of different
35:42
things. Yeah, which is kind of funny. It's interesting. Also,
35:45
Troy Evans was in it as like the tough Cop. But I wrote down
35:52
where do I know him from? I don't know if it's down Troy,
35:57
where are you Troy? I didn't write down tough Cop? Do you know
36:00
Troy? You should look up Troy Evans because you'll know him. He was
36:04
in uh like under Siege. Oh that's what I was thinking. He's the
36:08
inn aspenter, a pet detective. He's one of the other detectives. I
36:15
think his name is put Actor. Oh yeah, yeah, remember that guy
36:21
exactly who you're talking about. Yes, he doesn't do a lot in this
36:23
movie. But it was fun to see him because I was like, well,
36:27
I haven't seen that guy and a lot for sure, what I think
36:30
about. Yes, absolutely, it was something I was like, it's so
36:36
obvious that I had to look, but yeah, it was fun to see
36:38
him for a second. Yeah, and Benjamin Bratt was cute. He was
36:45
great. He was just a little baby, wasn't he. Ye. It
36:49
was crazy that Steve Kahan guy was in all the Lethal Weapon movies and he
36:54
was like the kind of a similar role. Actually, I guess in this
36:59
too. He was like a chee for something, right, captain or something.
37:02
But he's been in a ton of stuff over the years, and that
37:07
was kind of all I have. Oh yeah, the Governor Jesse I forgot.
37:12
I forgot venture was in it. He's not very much for sure.
37:15
I just saw him in the opening credits. I was like, oh,
37:17
yeah, yeah, totally weird. Yeah it's weird, but yeah, I
37:24
don't know, do you have anybody else? Those are all the people I
37:28
wrote down. However, I did think that one guy, the guy who
37:32
was he was alive when slot like John Spartan, I was just gonna say,
37:40
yeah, he plays you know him right from that thing we do.
37:45
I mean he's been in a lot of things. Yeah, that's true.
37:47
He was del Paxton and that thing you do remember rum. Yes, yes,
37:54
of course. Yeah, he's a good actor. That guy's great.
37:58
Yeah, it's kind of got a cool voice. He did so many things.
38:01
You're right, but it's a bummer he didn't get like more big things
38:05
or whatever. But yeah, he was great and that was They needed that
38:09
tie in too, which is maybe why it was only so long. They're
38:14
like, what's the most we can push this, right, you know?
38:17
Yeah, but it worked out well, Yeah, that was perfect for sure.
38:22
Well why don't we go and talk about some of the scenes here.
38:24
Let's pick our favorite one and pick the Dingasa so Dingas. It's quite simple,
38:31
really, ingas NGAs. I could talk about my dingas all long might
38:37
simple really Yes, uh, it's the three Seashells bit. I'm a man
38:45
with a highly sophisticated sense of humor. Yes, and this bit really just
38:50
got those neurons a flowing no life and beauty and art whenever they were brought
39:00
up. It doesn't make any sense, and yet it's stuck with me for
39:06
thirty years. I loved it. My favorite part is that it doesn't make
39:09
any sense. I just love that so much. And I've read like on
39:15
Reddit and stuff, there's been like whole things of people trying to figure out
39:19
what it would be the seashells would actually work. Yes, yeah, that's
39:24
amazing fun. I love that, but yeah, I just think it's a
39:28
great bit. And then follow it by like because in that scene then he
39:32
like starts swearing and he's like, I'm good on the toilet paper like that.
39:37
That's a great that's a great line and super funny and great. I
39:40
don't know, I just love it for sure. I had that picked too.
39:45
Yeah. It was super fun. Yeah, real low brow love it.
39:49
What is that your number one? That was my number one? I
39:52
also said the like car chase thing at the end was kind of fun,
39:55
like for pure action, you know, adventure stuff. Yeah, and then
40:02
just the when right after Simon gets out, all the cops having to like
40:08
do cop work when that's not a thing anymore was just really fun. I
40:12
don't know, it's else, yes, yes, now and with Yeah,
40:17
I just loved all that, and like they're just like, well it doesn't
40:22
matter, we'll just catch him here, and they're like this isn't a thing.
40:23
I don't know what to do now, you know, Like they were
40:27
just like I'm out of ideas, right. They're used to people just stopping
40:31
complying. Yeah, right right, I'd thought that was super funny. Yeah,
40:37
I like that. Up was probably that scene you had talked about where
40:42
Jack Black makes an appearance just down in the sewer. Yeah. Yeah,
40:46
yeah, he gets the rat burger and a beer. He's all excited about
40:50
it, we get the Dennis Leary rant, we'd see Jesse Ventura with all
40:55
the other bad guys he thought out. Yeah, yeah, it was just
41:00
a fun, fun time. It definitely felt like a like a big movie
41:06
set. You know, they're all wearing those like futuristic costumes and just felt
41:12
like a movie, you know, yeah, very movie. Yeah, I
41:15
like that, that's all. Yeah for sure. It's not like they were
41:19
just on the street and you know, made it into a movie. It
41:22
was like, no, we need a very specific spot, you know,
41:25
right, Yeah, yeah, I love that. That's great. I thought
41:29
that was fun. And the first fight scene at the museum with the guns
41:34
when reunite you shoot him with a cannon and stuff. And let's just talk
41:42
about the names John Spartan and Simon Phoenix. They're just like the most movie
41:47
names you've ever heard. It's like they forgot to like in the office,
41:53
they forgot to put in different names. Like they came in and they were
41:59
just like, I don't know, John Spartan, I don't care, I'll
42:01
come up with the name later. And then they were like, you know,
42:05
it's fine, let's actually just keep it. It's great. Yeah,
42:08
but it does seem like random computer generated names almost just very much. This
42:15
is an action movie name ya, Yeah, I love that. I kind
42:19
of I get that his name with Simon, but man, the whole Simon
42:23
says, bit just did not work. I loved it so much. I
42:27
loved it. I mean it's perfect action movies. Yes, I think wise.
42:34
I was just like, to me, that is the like nth degree
42:37
of just like leading into it. It's fine, Yeah, you forgot to
42:45
say, Simon says. I was just like, of course he did.
42:50
Delicious you beautiful bastards. I love it. I mean, I agree it
42:58
is super dumb, but I like to feel yeah, yeah, it's fine.
43:04
I really did. It was so funny. Well, I think we
43:07
can all agree that the sea shells is where it's at. Did you have
43:10
any other did you have any other bits you want to talk about? I
43:15
don't thinks other than just and they'll probably come up like all the Sandy b
43:20
getting stuff wrong and like, for sure that's going to be almost like kind
43:24
of interesting and still yeah, so I think they actually do show Oh sure,
43:32
yeah, I get that. Yeah, I do think they actually did
43:35
show nudity in that spot. And I I did not remember that at all.
43:39
I just thought it was all because you were watching it on TV or
43:44
something. So maybe maybe maybe I don't know, but I don't know.
43:46
I mean it's like, you know, split second, kind of like the
43:51
old scrambled. I watched it frame by frame and I didn't notice anything that
43:54
is interesting. Yeah you really, I'll have to go in the finer two
44:00
that's come for sure, definitely, No, Yeah, that is it was
44:05
kind of a weird scene. I don't know. Yeah, I mean it
44:08
was. It was funny. It was funny. It wasn't like super sexy
44:14
or anything, but it was funny. Correct, Yes, agreed, agreed
44:16
on all counts. Yeah for sure. Uh yeah, Seashells Seashells down by
44:22
the seashore. Let's go and talk about our favorite quotes. Now it's time
44:25
to show me the money, showy, show me. Why don't you want
44:36
to start? You want me? I don't know, I want to start.
44:39
That's what's happening. We all agree that's what's happening. Look, I
44:44
don't know if you guys know it, but you're out of toilet paper?
44:46
Did did you say toilet paper? They used handfuls of wadded paper back in
44:52
the twentieth It's like, I'm happy that you're happy. But the place where
44:57
you're supposed to have the toilet paper, you've got this little shelf with three
45:00
sea shells on it. He does not use the three sea shells. I
45:06
can see how that could be confusing. I loved all of that, no
45:10
one explains it and the last lines of the movie. But there's just one
45:15
thing I want to know. How's that damn three seashell thing work? They
45:20
just did it so much? Do you want to do all the bleeping for
45:27
the toilet paper? Did you put that down? All? Right? Here
45:30
we go, Thanks a lot, you brained faced, ball breaking duck and
45:36
pain. In the John Spartan you are find five credits for repeated violations of
45:42
the verbal morality statute. So much for the sea shells. See you in
45:46
a few minutes. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Those are all the sea
45:52
shells scenes. I had to say, am, why don't you say somebody
45:57
enhance your calm? And all of that like double speak stuff was just cracking
46:01
me up. Dude, be happy, joy, joy feelings. Mellow greetings
46:07
to you what. I also loved mellow greetings? What happens to be your
46:14
boggle? That? I wrote that one down too, like what happened?
46:19
Yeah? What happens to be your boggle? H He's finally matched his meat.
46:24
You really locked his ass. That's met his match and kicked his ass.
46:30
Yes, I loved that one was my favorite of those ones. For
46:37
sure. You really licked his ass. Like, well, it's a whole
46:39
different kind of party. I wasn't aware my happens okay. Oh. I
46:45
also loved God, was it Rob Schneider that said this? Someone said they
46:51
asked where he was and he was like, oh, he went to the
46:52
bathroom. He must have got all thought out, and that was like a
46:57
pretty clever line. I liked it. It was fun. I remember who
47:00
said it? It was fun? Oh, let's see. Oh. I
47:06
also loved when they're in the fancy taco bell and the person at the tables,
47:10
like, what would you say if I called you a brutish fossil symbolic
47:15
of a decayed era of gratefully forgotten. He was like, I don't know,
47:19
thanks, I don't know. Thanks. Thanks. He's such a meat
47:23
head. Oh and I also liked oh where did it go? Now?
47:32
Why don't you say? I for you, I'll find this other one.
47:35
I'll do some more. Lenina Huxley's Okay, let's go blow this guy.
47:39
It's like, oh, wait, blow this guy. Way chief, you
47:47
can take this job and you can shovel it this job and shovel it.
47:52
Yeah, close enough. I liked. I liked the It was Bills actually
48:00
that said this, but it was such just an action movie line. He's
48:05
like, Simon Phoenix is an old fashioned criminal. We need an old fashioned
48:09
cop. Yeah. I feel like that could have just been like on the
48:14
poster called the Marshal. Right, yeah, totally, absolutely Sly had a
48:20
real action movie line with you're going to regret this for the rest of your
48:24
life both sick and so. Yeah. I love these kind of movies,
48:31
dude. They just make me happy. Did you have any did you find
48:36
what you're looking for enhance a comm I did, yes, Uh, well,
48:39
if you had read my study, you would know that this is how
48:43
insecure heterosexual men communicated back in the day. She's talking. I don't remember
48:49
what he did. I think it was when I think it was a shaking
48:53
hands. Oh, that's right, because they weren't used to physical content,
48:59
right, that's right, insecure heterosexual men communicated up that was I did love
49:05
that the writers made her like an expert, yeah from everything back in the
49:09
twentieth century. Yep. I liked that to add a lot to the movie.
49:15
And then I had the uh, I wouldn't want you know, when
49:21
Wesley Snipes is telling him like who he wants them to unthaw to help kill
49:27
right our guy and everything, mister s but he's like, I wouldn't want
49:31
you to throw those mad dog killer types. You know, I don't know
49:35
those mothers to New York the two up tight. I just really liked that
49:38
line. I don't know, He's just like, I don't like them,
49:42
get him out of here. I thought that was fun. Also, I
49:47
mean boning the Wild Mambo, the hunka chunka, Oh yeah, the hunk.
49:52
I was like, we're we're you're in the fifties, Like, what
49:55
are you talking about? Oh yeah, we're gonna hunk k good, then
50:00
it's gonna be great. Yeah. I don't remember that from the nineties.
50:02
I don't remember that from Ember. No, like he's making it up.
50:08
I did like it though. It was fun Yeah, I think that might
50:14
be all the ones I had. I only had one other one. It
50:15
was Rob Schneider. It's like, we're police officers, We're not trained to
50:20
handle this kind of violence. Yeah, it's funny. It's funny. That
50:24
was all I had. Yeah, and then just sly yelling Phoenix did it
50:31
like three times. See. I was surprised that I didn't put down more
50:36
of this Wesley Snipes ones because he had so many, like little he did
50:40
action movie quips, but I didn't really like any of them. Simon says,
50:45
die great one. Yeah, I mean I love all the Simon says,
50:50
yeah, that's pretty much. Yeah we differ. All right, Well,
50:54
let's go to bugs moving moments where strong men also cry. Strong men
51:05
also they're crying it zero chance. I'm just I'm not even gonna there's no
51:10
way you cried in this movie. Is that your official guess? Oh?
51:15
Yes, yes, what if I was like fourteen times I was having a
51:22
tough day. You need to go to a doctor. For sure, we're
51:25
gonna we're gonna pause this. We need to have a little intervention, we
51:30
need to talk a little bit. I wasn't even particularly close, to be
51:35
honest, there's not really anything sentimentally in it at all, which I felt
51:39
like they could have maybe gone the route of like talking about his family more.
51:45
Like he even alluded to the fact that he had a daughter. Yeah.
51:49
Man, they just kind of like hen waved it away. We were
51:52
like bye bye. Is Like did they even say, like did she die
51:55
or anything. No, his his wife died in the earthquake, but they
52:00
didn't say anything about his daughter. And it was like he didn't even want
52:05
to look her up. He like literally said he didn't want to look her
52:08
up because first I had a family. Yeah, but I don't. I
52:14
just was bringing that up. I don't care, right like he was,
52:17
I'm joyous that they're dead. Yeah, it's not Yeah, it's not a
52:22
lot that was weird. I remember early early on, even when I was
52:29
a kid, I was like, oh, Wesley Snipes for sure killed all
52:34
those people before he was there, because he cleared I saw a thermal skin
52:39
and didn't see anything. And you're like, oh, well he probably had
52:43
killed here already dead guy? What are you talking about? How did none
52:45
of these people think of that? Sand San Angelos's finest I guess or what?
52:53
Yeah, it was interesting to me. That was Yeah, that was
52:59
funny. It's a funny to the daughter thing because like they could have just
53:02
had a line where at the end there's like, what are you gonna do
53:05
now, and it's like, oh, yeah, that's all you had to
53:08
say. Yeah, cool, done, so weird. Yeah, it's strange.
53:15
I don't know. Yeah, we go be the youngest scrap of the
53:19
world for something something. Yeah, but they didn't go that route at all,
53:24
And honestly, did we want that in this movie? No? I
53:27
don't think. I don't think. I'm fine. It's just funny that they
53:30
didn't even have a throwaway line. They were just like, whatever, dude,
53:32
totally don't worry about it and done that. You aren't here for that,
53:36
and you know it, shut up and watch this movie, right,
53:38
We're more worried about having them kiss and then talking about the fluid transfers and
53:45
get up a nice fluid transfer. I'm gonna love the future. Cool,
53:50
So zero for you. Zero. Then hit us with some movie trivia dude,
53:54
I shall, I shall. Leslie Snipes's kicks and punches sometimes lurchy and
54:00
awkward in the film, and this is because while being a because he's an
54:07
accomplished black belt in real life, his kicks and punches were self asked that
54:12
they blurred on camera, so they had to ask him to slow them down,
54:15
so they looked kind of weird. I guess I didn't particularly notice that,
54:21
but I thought it was not at all. He also hated his blonde
54:25
die job and shaved his head as soon as the film was done. But
54:30
after the movie release, Dennis Rodman began dying his hair and apparently was inspired
54:37
by Simon Phoenix. So that's kind of fun. I can see that.
54:39
Yeah, he really got into the dying. Well, he went for it.
54:43
Yeah he really, he really went for it. Ye did? Sylvester
54:47
Stallone described the cryogenic freezing scene is probably the worst five hours I've ever had
54:53
on movie sets. I was terrified. It looks scary, Yeah, seems
55:00
scary like that. It looks real, gelatiny like, and like I would
55:06
just think about, like, am I going to breathe this in and then
55:08
suffocate or drown? I guess at that point y not cool. Sandra Billick's
55:15
costume during the taco bell sequence was made of stones and gems and weighed approximately
55:22
forty pounds. That's a lot. That's heavy. It's super heavy. But
55:28
after the fight scene outside the restaurant, when her character jumps up and down
55:32
and replaces the action, her dress actually started to rip, and that's why
55:36
she's holding her hands or her arms to the side as he walks away in
55:39
that scene. Funny, I think it's funny. She was like, Uh,
55:44
let's not reshoot it. It's fine. Oh, this was fun.
55:50
According to the screenwriter Daniel Waters, the inspiration for the three shells came about
55:54
when he was writing a scene where Spartan has to use the restroom. He
55:59
was trying to come up with futuristic things you'd find in there, and he
56:00
was having trouble, so he called the buddy, another screenwriter across town,
56:05
and asked him if he had any ideas. Coincidentally, that friend was in
56:08
the bathroom at the time, and when he answered the phone and looked around
56:12
and was like, I have a bag of seashells on the toilet is decoration.
56:15
He was like, all right, I'll make something out of that.
56:17
And that's how it happened. Wow, and it was born, and it's
56:22
given me so much joy. Just one dude having a conversation on the pot.
56:28
Yeah, made it so that I would be laughing about it thirty years
56:30
later. I mean, I've had a lot of good phone conversations once one
56:36
person or the other husband on the turlet, probably the first hundred conversations we
56:40
ever had on the phone, for sure. Dude. That was when I
56:44
would get my phone calls in. It's like I gotta get some secretary time
56:49
in here. This was head on into the office. This was before texting,
56:53
so it was man first convos on there. Absolutely, what are you
56:59
doing later? You want to go hang out? Right, Let's go to
57:01
the Green Mill for nine hours. A lot of stuff like that, really
57:06
pressing issues, Yes, big stuff, big stuff, important things. I
57:10
thought that was fun. Sly apparently originally wanted Simon Phoenix. Oh you might
57:16
have had this one, but I'll say it anyway. He may. He
57:21
originally wanted Simon Phoenix to be played by Jackie Chan, but Chan declined the
57:25
offer since Asian audiences gave negative feedback the idea of action stars from either Hong
57:30
Kong or Hollywood having to always play they were always heroes there and then they
57:37
would come over here and be villains. So yeah, that's good thing.
57:39
It's pretty cool for sure, because I definitely remember they even had that poster
57:45
in the movie of Lethal Weapon three right jetly comes over, he's a bad
57:50
guy, and I, yeah, I wouldn't have thought about that. And
57:52
also I think as an actor, I'd be like, oh, it'd be
57:55
cool though, to get to play like a different thing. Yea, but
58:00
yeah, that's cool. I liked that. I guess Rob Schneider and Sandy
58:07
b became friends during filming. But Rob said I think he said this on
58:13
a talk show, but he had reservations about her next project, and he
58:16
said it was some bus movie that he didn't think would take off, and
58:20
that ended up being Speed obviously very successful. Yeah, maybe it don't take
58:27
advice from the guy who did The Hot Chick or The Animal? Is that
58:31
what that one's called? The Animal? Oh? That was so bad.
58:36
There were some and was like an Oscar winner compared to it? Had it?
58:42
Did? I think it debuted Rich McAdams, so it had that going
58:45
for it. But I forgot that. But yeah, and Deuce Bigelow was
58:52
a good movie, but I loved it, so yeah, I did love
58:54
that. I really loved it a ton. I'm with you. Uh,
59:00
I thought this was fun. For the non American releases, Taco Bell was
59:04
changed to Pizza Hut because that's more of a worldwide known name. Sure it's
59:08
cool. But Pepsi owns both of them, so they got that going for
59:13
him. All good, no worries, They're like, sure works for me.
59:17
Oh, I thought this was interesting. The Hungarian science fiction writer East
59:22
Van Nimer says that most of Demolition Man is based on his novel Fight of
59:29
the Dad It's called, published in nineteen eighty six. In the novel,
59:31
a terrorist and a counter terrorism soldier or cryogenically frozen then awakened in a twenty
59:37
twenty second century to find violence has been purged from society. He claimed that
59:45
a committee proved that seventy five percent of the movie was identical of the book.
59:49
He chose not to sue because it would have been too expensive for him,
59:52
and he also claimed that apparently Hollywood plagiarized a ton of works from Eastern
59:57
European writers after the fall of the and curtain. Yeah, that's that was
1:00:04
interesting. But it's kind of like that in itself would make for an interesting
1:00:08
movie because he says that he knows the person allegedly responsible for selling illegally selling
1:00:15
his ideas to the filmmakers. So it's like that actually could be a kind
1:00:19
of compelling movie maybe, yeah, you know, in and of itself.
1:00:22
But I thought that was interesting, interesting, Yeah, that was all I
1:00:27
had. I saw that Dennis Leary's part was rewritten after he was casted,
1:00:34
so that he could go off and do his Dennis Leary. That makes sense,
1:00:37
that's smart. Smart. I saw that Sandra Bullock replaced Lori Petty after
1:00:45
a few days filming. Really Petty left due to creative differences. Wow,
1:00:52
what do you think they were? She wanted a fourth seashell, hell,
1:00:57
not demanded three? Doesn't make any sense, make any sense yet, that's
1:01:01
funny though she was so big back then. Yeah, it's surprising, right
1:01:07
Yeah. Also, maybe it makes sense why Sandy Bee's part was so big
1:01:12
then sure if it had more of an established name attached or something. Right?
1:01:17
Interesting cool. I saw that the two original choices for the roles were
1:01:22
Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damn. Well, that would have probably totally
1:01:29
would have worked. Van Dam was offered the role of the bad guy,
1:01:31
but he didn't want that role. He agreed to star and it if both
1:01:36
the lead roles could be switched. So the producers tried to get Seagal to
1:01:39
play the bad guy and he was like, no, I don't do that.
1:01:43
Pass Yeah, and I can see that from it sounds like Steven Seagal.
1:01:49
Yeah, he's not a great, great Steven Seagal. Aside, he
1:01:57
he He's got an album on Spotify from like oh yeah and no and in
1:02:07
fact, what do you put in? One of the songs he puts on
1:02:10
kind of like a Jamaican accent. Oh, showed this to me recently and
1:02:17
it is horrible. It's so bad. Wow, all right, Yeah,
1:02:25
if I want to listen to that, I kind of want to. It's
1:02:29
yeah, maybe like don't mess up your algorithm and watch it on like YouTuber
1:02:34
or whatever you can do. You've been listening to a lot of Steven signal,
1:02:38
so here you go. I don't know, it's brutal, but that
1:02:45
was all I had. Weird, weird al right, I love it,
1:02:50
cicala side, I love it. Well, what do you think Judgment Day.
1:02:55
Will there be a sequel? Well, I can tell you. It
1:02:59
was rumor there was going to be a sequel Devilish Too, and it would
1:03:02
take place after this movie, in which John Spartan and Lanina Huxley would have
1:03:07
married and Jackie Chan would play the main antagonist, replacing Wesley Snipes. But
1:03:14
the sequel didn't happen. There was also a prequel written long ago and was
1:03:20
thought to flop, so it was never made. The prequel was going to
1:03:23
have Spartan going after Simon Phoenix back in the day, so I probably would
1:03:31
have worked, right, I mean, yeah, you would have hadn't done
1:03:34
it a long time ago. But yeah, that's interesting. Huh Yeah,
1:03:38
because they really had all these all these bad guys on ice, so they
1:03:43
could have just kept on thawing yep, person after person the food wanted and
1:03:49
if it had gone super well, yep, funny alright, cool? Yeah
1:03:53
nice? That was all I had. Do you want to play game?
1:03:58
Yeah? And when we started, I went to Twitter and I was like
1:04:03
hey or X whatever the kids are calling it these days. I was like,
1:04:11
Hey, give me an actor, maybe an action film star with a
1:04:16
large filmography. So I am going to look at the responses. You see
1:04:23
one of them. See one of them is Stallone. I know thought it
1:04:28
was funny, which we probably still do that even though he's in this Liam
1:04:32
Neeson, Samuel L. Keanu. That's another guy who didn't start really doing
1:04:40
these shoot him up movies until he was, you know, in the fifties.
1:04:44
Maybe they're looking for like a reason to stay in shape. Yeah,
1:04:48
I don't know. And then we got Dwayne the Rock Johnson, so I
1:04:54
could do you know, I don't think I would do great on any of
1:04:57
these, but I could. I could do them. Maybe Keanu, Hey,
1:05:02
either Keiano or Stallone? Do you want to do Stallone instead? We
1:05:06
can do Stallone. I don't know which one I would have more. And
1:05:15
it's so funny. We'd probably would ever done. We haven't. But maybe
1:05:20
I don't know. It's funny with Stallone because he's got these franchises, so
1:05:25
he will say a lot of movies that we'll just be back and forth,
1:05:28
back and forth and back. Yeah, that's true, that is very true.
1:05:34
But yeah, we can whatever you want. I can, uh.
1:05:39
Also, somebody said Keanu Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Yo. Michelle Yo, I
1:05:44
can only say, like three. We could also do Sandy B. Probably,
1:05:48
I mean, I know, we just we asked for suggestions, but
1:05:51
she said, yes, she is. And I don't think we've ever done
1:05:55
Sandy B. Yeah. I can't give anybody credit because they didn't say Sandy
1:06:03
B. I'm happy with any of those three, to be honest, if
1:06:09
you have a strong feeling, I don't at all. But thank you Seggy
1:06:13
of s n C, thank you, Marcia, thank you, Scott Anderson,
1:06:16
Noel, Mandy, Patricia and Annette Cook. Thank you for your suggestions.
1:06:21
We're not gonna take them. We're not gonna make should now I feel
1:06:25
bad, but we're gonna do Sandy B from this movie. Okay, let's
1:06:31
do it. Let's do Sandy B. Sandy B. Okay, I gotta
1:06:34
start growing stuff down, Sandra. Let me just let me just imdber quick
1:06:42
here in the well. Hey, stop it. Oh, I'm not supposed
1:06:45
to do that. I'm gonna start off with Demolition Man. Oh, come
1:06:49
on, come on. Uh. I will then say, uh, the
1:06:56
other movie that's been in the news up blind Side, I guess with her,
1:07:00
Oh nice, nice, Well, I'm gonna say the other movie brought
1:07:02
up that she was in I'm gonna say speed Oh, good one. She's
1:07:05
also in Speed to Cruise Control. I believe good but her, I believe
1:07:10
that's the case. Yes, the did you not see it? No,
1:07:13
I've never seen it. I actually kind of want to. It was brutal.
1:07:17
It was her. Jason Patrick was the Keanu part and William Dafoe was
1:07:23
the bad guy. Oh okay, okay, yeah, I mean I love
1:07:28
Speed One. Dude loved it. Yeah. I'm gonna do one that came
1:07:38
up recently. I'm going to give a shout out to our friend Maria Whacker.
1:07:42
She really wants us to talk about Hope floats. I forgot about that
1:07:48
conversation. He's like, no, nope. She's like, you guys,
1:07:55
your talk about and I don't think i've said no that fast before. I
1:08:00
mean, you did hear what she said, but you did not consider it.
1:08:02
You were like that happening. That's a hard no for I saw that
1:08:06
with a girl back in the day, and I remember being so like I
1:08:12
was excited that. I was like if there was some hand holding it,
1:08:14
yeah, But as far as the movie, I was more like this.
1:08:19
But that's the only time I ever saw it, So maybe it's bad.
1:08:24
I've never seen it, and that's what made me laugh so hard. Was
1:08:27
I was like, well rob is a hard no, so a good thing.
1:08:31
Oh, it's probably not gonna happen. Yeah, I loved it,
1:08:39
loved it. I'll say a movie we mentioned earlier with the Sandy be Miss
1:08:44
Congeniality of course. Uh oh was there a was there a height? Was
1:08:49
there a colon after miscongeniality too? Oh? I don't know. I'd give
1:08:55
it to you either way. I don't actually think there was. I'll take
1:08:57
it then. Yeah, I don't think it was. Thank you're right.
1:09:01
Great. Uh, then I will go to Ocean's eight. Oh yeah,
1:09:09
she is in that. Yeah, I am are you blanking? Kids?
1:09:16
Are like a specific a specific one. I probably I think it's called the
1:09:24
Heat. I think it's just called heat, the one with her and well
1:09:28
no McCarthy, that's the that's the that's the Oh yeah, you're right,
1:09:31
that's the one. Yeah, you're right, it is the Heat, yes,
1:09:36
yeah, the one Melissa McCarthy. Right, Yeah, that's a great
1:09:41
one. I forgot about that. I'm gonna say that one. That one
1:09:44
was really funny. Huh uh. The proposal, of course. I was
1:09:53
like Why can't I think of any of these from coms? I know I'm
1:09:56
having actually kind of a hard time here. I feel kind of pet My
1:10:00
one rom com was while you were sleeping? That was my other one,
1:10:03
Robbie Dirty pastor okay, while you were sleeping? Oh yeah, huh,

1:10:54
ones are super random. Dude, didn't she do something with Bruce Willis at
1:11:00
some point? You're thinking of Red because she wasn't in Red. I wasn't
