1:10
complete of the Scott Brothers. Our first damon Wayne's movie. First there was
1:25
the word, Yeah, dude, bird is the word though? Yeah,
1:30
listen, listen after that travesty of a movie last time, after that that,
1:38
listen, We've got, We've got, We've got a lot of things
1:40
going here, we've got our first Shane Black, Bruce Willis, We've got
1:45
We've got a lot of things happening here. There's a lot of there's a
1:48
lot of things going on here. There's a lot of key players, yeah
1:51
for sure. And you know there's even some surprise Canadian gems like Kim Coates
1:57
this movie thin, young, handsome Kim Coats blue like jet blue eyes Kin
2:06
Coats. Oh, yeah for sure. And this and football being a prominent
2:09
feature and not being annoying. Well, okay, so it starts with football
2:15
and like that reason singing guy at the beginning, who is that guy?
2:19
I don't know? That part was amazing. It was amazing, And like
2:23
the graph, it was like too long, it's even so long. You
2:28
felt like credits happened in that video spot, you know what. It felt
2:31
like. It felt like a like a weird Alice intro, but like weird
2:38
allae Is intros are legendary and they're great, and they're great, but it
2:40
felt like it was like that that like a yeah, of course because they
2:46
made it, but because it's already awkward video man, the weird Allice Knows
2:53
has a penchant for the found footage. Um, but I I this feels
2:59
like that, and it's it's this guy is supposed to be someone we know,
3:02
but I don't know who he is. I forget. Yeah. Um,
3:08
Tony Scott directed it. Joel Silver, How did you guess? Joel
3:12
Silver? How did you Guess? Was so hated by Tony Scott that he
3:15
wrote him in. He made one of the guys in True Romance portray him
3:23
in that way. And it's the guy who's Donnie Donowitz. He's the character
3:28
who's related to the beared you and um, he's like his great great great
3:32
bear ju is like his great great grandfather or something in the warm Sater in
3:38
True Romance. Fuck? What's his name again? Yeah? Lee Donowitz is
3:43
the character Saul Rubenek. Yeah, yeah, I know you're talking about.
3:46
Yeah, I love that guy. He was also the guy who dated um
3:50
Daphnie and uh oh yeah, Frazier Mercy. This movie, first of all,
4:01
not only is it a red heat, but it exposes how much of
4:06
a raw deal Hudson Hawk was because this movie also features reindeer, goat,
4:15
cheese, pizza, very good chocolate. Okay, so wait, what I
4:21
know that was in the last movie, right, Yeah, it was cheese
4:27
pizza. So that's must be a barse. Of course, it was totally
4:30
a Bruce thing. Of course, I like Jimmy Hendrix, of course,
4:35
man Bruce. So anyway, as you know I write, which is something
4:41
you don't writer, Bruce. Listen, Um, this first scene we have
4:46
to talk about this outrageous first scene where the football Will Hair is talking on
4:50
the phone and it fucking it takes the football and is running it pulls it
4:56
a gun. It's just shooting people. Dude. Well I saw this.
5:00
I was like, this movie is going to be amazing. Well, of
5:02
course, and it's such a Shane Black thing to happen. But like the
5:05
most Shane Black. And also Shane Black really does need a director to make
5:11
it. He needs somebody else to make his stuff. Yeah, he's not
5:14
a good director. Did he direct? But did he direct Kiss Kiss Bang
5:16
Bang? Though? I don't think so. Oh yeah, kiss kis Bang
5:20
Bang. He did direct Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which is a very It
5:24
is a great movie. He was working with the scale in a budget he
5:27
could handle, like I think so, I think so. But also I
5:29
can't remember it being like necessarily like it seems very practically shot. Oh well,
5:34
I'd love to do that movie, maybe as a boner. She could
5:38
do it as a show. But you know, with Shane Black again,
5:41
with with back at Us, with yet another, I mean basically he pioneered
5:46
the neo noir genre in our in our minds. Yeah, totally. And
5:51
also, how did you guess the movie that's playing in this movie is Lethal
5:56
Weapon? I thought so, I thought, because that was like watching the
6:00
riling around that that but my daughter is important, Um that's what he was
6:06
doing. No, let me dislocate my shoulders. But speaking of dislocating shoulders,
6:17
and this dude who is running with the football man, this guy had
6:23
also so much impact. They cast such an amazing like there's a lot of
6:29
blackmail in this movie, and like blackmail has a lot of impact in this
6:32
movie. So like the guy gets called Billy Ray is his name, Yeah,
6:35
and like he gets called he gets this ominous call where he's like,
6:39
if if you don't lose this or if you don't win this game, you
6:43
might as well just kill yourself because I'm gonna kill you and like and then
6:48
he's like, uh, do whatever it takes, and so whatever it takes
6:53
apparently gets to take a gun. Watch the ball and shoot a bunch of
7:00
dudes either in the head, in the head. You see it like fucking
7:06
awesome. You imagine if something like this happened, like no one would ever
7:11
forget about it. It would be amazing. It would be like it would
7:15
truly be like nine eleven's worth history where it's like, remember when that guy
7:19
in the nineties fucking shot that dude, not just one dude, but a
7:25
bunch of opponents, like he went, ain't life a bitch? And it's
7:31
like so fucking violent, the fucking chunk chunks of the head. I mean,
7:40
like this is this is also I gotta say, I have to say
7:43
that this is Shane Black at his most dead eyed because he doesn't care about
7:48
anything because he's so it's great. But part of it is Tony Scott,
7:54
though Tony Scott is kind of bleak, kind of not bleak, but like
7:59
it's where it's like a little bit like if if God, what's his name,
8:11
the guy who did Armageddon and the guy who did oh, Michael Bay,
8:15
Michael Bay. It's like Michael Bay toned down into like realism and that
8:20
because he's so saturated, he seems like he has a lot of life,
8:24
but he's actually very dead eyed, and if you turned it down to reality,
8:28
it's like, oh, this is like weird and sad. Who directed
8:33
Speed? Um? Because it feels kind of like whoever directed or like it's
8:41
a similar million vibe? Yeah, who did direct Speed It was somebody Jan
8:48
Dubant, so I knew it was somebody weird where it's like, what did
8:52
you do? He was a Yeah, he was a director photomography on for
9:00
ad October and Lethal Weapons, so he worked a lot for October movie.
9:03
I still, to this day haven't been able to sit through this. I
9:07
still has an other person you'll be able to, especially with some older than
9:11
now No as a now person. No, I tried recently, Oh recently
9:16
yeah, like last week and I was like so bored. All right we
9:20
get to um oh man Detective Bruce so yeah, like Private Dick Bruce.
9:28
He's perfunt. He was definitely a Private Dick in this movie. It's true.
9:33
He's truly built for roles like that. He's the last actor who could
9:35
pull this off. Yeah, like when when when someone like Joaquin Phoenix does
9:41
a role like this, I'm just like I don't believe you. Nah,
9:46
yeah, yeah you know what I mean, I do, I do.
9:50
And it's like but it's like kind of like I'm rooting for Bruce still,
9:54
I'm also rooting for Joaquin, but he's really shitting the bed recently. Yeah,
9:58
yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a very Bruce will Is.
10:01
Yeah, Bruce gets a call from a colleague, right, the guy who's
10:09
cooking, which is crazy. Do you like the kind of cock Bruce Black?
10:16
Dude, Yeah, Shane Black loves shit like this. Shane Black is
10:20
obsessed with shit like this. Dude, Shane Black. This is Shane Black
10:24
at his best. I mean, like the thing is, yes, but
10:30
also I have some I I have to say, I have some problems with
10:33
this movie. I'm sure. I like, I like, you're fag is
10:39
that when you had a problem with of course, like you know what,
10:41
I know what you have a problem with? No, you know what,
10:45
Like the listen, this is my first time, this is my first time
10:48
doing a deep dive into Bruce like this, and like, man, and
10:54
he's a guy who would say this, that's the thing. It's like,
10:56
you know what I mean, Like it's like it's like I don't necessary early
11:00
feel like it's out of the realm of possibility that this guy would say something
11:03
like this. It fits the character obviously, and obviously to a degree,
11:09
we want that from Bruce, and this is who Bruce is to a degree.
11:11
But also it just bums me out a little bit because I'm just like,
11:15
oh, man, you know, like you could have been like ven
11:18
them, you know, where he is a pomic but like, but he's
11:22
got a nice ass, you know, so the gas they love him,
11:26
you know, and like, man, Bruce Willi is so hot though,
11:30
speaking of like Queerness, Like Bruce Willis is the hottest of the four of
11:35
them. I stand by that. And for the longest time, yeah,
11:39
probably, Um, like Stallone, I think aged really well. I like
11:45
modern Stallone. I love got seventy six stallone, seventy six year old Stallone,
11:52
but there was a really long period of like a kind of a gross
11:56
Stallone. But dude, can I tell you this. You're right he is,
11:58
but he also does not look two years older than me, and like
12:03
in this movie, oh yeah, well this is two years older than me.
12:09
And there's a lot of like reference to how old he is and old
12:13
I'm like, you're in your mid thirties, what are you talking about,
12:16
Like you're like a young guy and like he's like trim and like but he's
12:22
like smoking. Yeah, I guess he's he's supposed to be disheveled because he's
12:26
like he doesn't stop smoking at this No, the entire movie's got that's kind
12:30
of like a Bruce Willis thing, like Bruce Willis your fuck you got those
12:41
thick titsh like you married her? Yeah, what are you doing? Toxic?
12:50
Horrible? Awesome? That tattoo number on I thought it was cool too.
13:00
It's like it's like made fun of and Okay, so I also like
13:03
that there there's a parallel between our two protagonists that they're both We meet Damon
13:07
Wayne's and he's like and he's fucking football porkers, fucking drowning this girl to
13:15
blow them what fucking rageous? Well first first, okay, first we meet
13:20
him having had sex with a woman. Yeah, and then he's doing some
13:24
drugs and so like we're meeting them at these like parallel moments where they're both
13:28
like kind of down on their luck. They both like, you know,
13:33
they're both have like substance issues that that like kind of like are running their
13:39
lives, you know, and they're both like sort of it's weird the amount
13:43
of judgment there is. Later for the and I were watching this and we're
13:48
like the drugs that he's taking because it's like it's very nineties war on drugs,
13:54
it's very nineteen ninety ones. The Last Boys get wait wait, no,
13:58
no, I disagree. I disagree, not not in terms of him
14:03
doing the drugs. Yeah, because of cocaine. At least I didn't lose
14:07
my career because of cocaine. Well here's the thing, though, it is
14:11
in world vibes because this dude used to work for the president, so he
14:16
had to be clean. Hence the Last Boy scout right, So his judgment
14:20
is true. But we get a lot of like, dude, like Bruce
14:24
is my life up because of like playing football. They get, they give
14:30
it, they give it context for sure, But Bruce Willis is also like
14:33
he he's a drunk, you know what I mean. It's it's not like
14:35
he's like you know, like I don't know, he's just being high and
14:39
mighty. No no, no, but like there you can you know that
14:41
there's still a difference between like coke and and I don't know, I don't
14:48
know that doesn't know I don't mean cultural not not. I don't mean like
14:52
obviously I'll go all this problem like people don't do worse like but yeah,
14:56
no, I don't know. Well I mean to measure it is like who
15:00
who knows? But but what I like is, um, when the scene
15:05
happens of this fucking douchebag trying to drown this girl to blow him, well,
15:09
it sets up the fact that so this is like a fucking sexual assault,
15:13
Like he's yeah, like you he's like, he's like fucking like and
15:18
also just like an assault period, Like yeah, he's like it's horrible.
15:24
It's like this and it's funny because like it's interesting because I find it weird
15:31
the way the movie handled it because he's like, knock it off, it's
15:39
too early for that. It's kind of like ribbing him and then only until
15:45
he like insults him and he's like, what are you doing here? Anyway?
15:48
This is only for real players because this guy's an NFL player. He
15:50
fucking sucks him in the face with the football and then he's like he's like
15:56
remember why you got kicked out of the league. Yeah, and he goes
16:00
up to his face and he's like it's like what does he say to like,
16:04
He's like, it's something about his hurt pride and not the fact that
16:08
he was drowning a person to suck his dick. Oh, he's his best
16:12
arm in the National League. Remember that you fat said him a bitch?
16:17
Oh yeah, Oh. And the amount of fat shaming in this movie is
16:19
just like I think fat shaving Bruce, I think yes, yes, never
16:23
like Schwartzy has been like said body fat and like she he's like said some
16:30
stuff but like whatever in the movie, like and not twice in a row
16:34
in the movies fair enough, Um, sometimes Stallone was fat phobic. Stallone
16:41
is I think more fat phobic. He's got the touching his belly, wasn't
16:48
touching his spine, sucking his load. Speaking of sucking the getting cooked by
16:56
his wife. It's a great scene because it introduces the doll. Well,
17:00
so I and I were watching this a second time, and yeah, it
17:04
does introduce the try the tooth doll. For sure. We were watching this
17:07
for the second time and there's that scene. There's that scene where he calls
17:11
him for the job, and then I and I were like, so was
17:15
he just at his place when he killed he was he was Wow? Dude.
17:22
So he was at his place giving him a job, but he got
17:26
him the job so that he could blow up and take his wife. Right,
17:33
Wow, he wanted to kill him. Yeah, well that's what he
17:37
thinks, right Oh man, Yeah, yeah, well cocked Bruce. And
17:44
like Bruce's reaction to being artist is amazing, kind of into it. Oh
17:51
dude, and tell me who's the guy in the closet she starts malfunctioning.
18:00
You forget a detective classic Detective Bruce. Oh, detective Bruce. But he
18:12
still loves her, he does, Yeah, he does, and she still
18:17
loves him, which they show by her yelling out his name when an explosion
18:22
happens outside. Yeah, totally as opposed to the other dude. Yeah,
18:25
but you know who is that other guy's character actor mustache character actor. Um,
18:30
I'm so glad that he was the one that is Bruce McGill. Also
18:34
because because the regular guy, this guy is the kind of equivalent of Bruce
18:41
Willis, that would be like, oh, yeah, this guy, I
18:44
know, this guy, Bruce Willis is fucking you. You have been underestimating
18:49
Bruce Willis's handsomeness his entire podcast, underestimating Bruce Willis his handsomeness, regular guy
18:56
status. He's you know, I got Harry Legs. They go, they
19:00
go, they go, blod He would be an amazing Joe Biden. Dude,
19:03
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he would be an amazing because Bruce
19:07
Willis This has been a running thing throughout this podcast. He is the everyman
19:12
American Joe. Yeah, I've been putting the Joe drop for Bruce. But
19:17
also also, um, he's handsome in the way Jack is handsome. Like,
19:23
look, he even looks like Jack Nicholson here he does, he does,
19:26
he's more. He's more handsome than the jet and then Jack, he's
19:30
more. He's less seventies than Jack. I think he's pretty seventies. Dude.
19:37
He's more Christian Slater than the Chat. But yeah, so I really
19:41
like this scene because it like sets up a lot of attention and he pulls
19:45
the gun to the closet and he's like, I'm gonna shoot that closet and
19:48
she's like whatever you're as she like passes it off. It was pretty good.
19:52
I know, I know she's so good too. And then the guy's
19:57
like, don't you I mean yeah, because he knows he's not bluffing yeah
20:03
for sure, dude. Amazing scene. Yeah, really good. Um Chelsea
20:10
Field, Sarah Hallen Back, Helen Beck, Um, oh had it happened?
20:18
He slipped on the floor and you know what's it's funny because she shuck
20:22
you, Dicky. She kind of she kind of reminds me of the woman
20:26
lead in um in Um the what's it called, Kiss Kiss Bambang. Yeah,
20:33
he got some similar kind of vibe. Yeah, totally. And then
20:37
as they're walking out together and he's like, well, how much for this
20:42
new job you get? I mean he's like, you still want to take
20:45
the job. He's like, of course, five hundred bucks. Five hundred
20:48
bucks, Yeah, totally, five hundred dollars, dude, nineteen ninety one
20:51
money. And then he does the face her gut and he's like, all
20:56
right, god, and then he punches him because that's all he gets though,
21:00
which is like, that's a pretty that's a pretty decent for a guy
21:03
born in nineteen fifty five. Bruce Bruce getting cooked. Yeah, I mean
21:11
Bruce is getting cooked, and we get introduced his fucking dude's car just explodes.
21:18
So yeah, like the movie Um Moves, it's interesting because, like
21:22
a lot of insane shit happens in Shane Black movies and then he later makes
21:26
fun of it. I know, I know. It's always like that.
21:30
Um, and you know what, it's believable. It's always believable in these
21:36
movies. I'm like, yeah, dude, this is how buddy movies should
21:38
work. Um, buddy movies. Man. Like, what we'd never realized
21:45
was that Shane Black wrote all the good buddy movies. Yeah, he pretty
21:48
much did. Um. But then buddy cop movies kind of go went away
21:55
right, Like he didn't have to just be cop. He could like this
21:57
is like private private dick. Yeah, totally. But I love this setup
22:02
too because she goes She's like, uh, She's like, well, aren't
22:06
you gonna say anything? He's like, what do you want to say?
22:07
Fuck you, Sarah um and she's like, how about you're a lying bitch
22:11
and like stuff like that. And there was great payoff. They were They
22:15
were great. Yeah, like actually built up enough of a relationship. Yeah.
22:22
And then we get introduced to Preo's job. Halle Berry so hot Hallebarry
22:30
h and also such a good pairing with Damon Wayne's too. Why didn't David
22:34
Wayne's two more movies? He's so good. He's so good in this movie.
22:41
It's damn show, it's not. And also son of a Brack Yes,
23:00
Orris halle Berry, Oh dude, so hot that mushroom cut haircut that
23:04
she has a decade mushroom cut. Yeah, but yeah, this is she
23:08
he's tasked to following her. So because some weird shit is happening, and
23:14
we get introduced to Damon Wayne's being friends this dame show with with Bruce Willis
23:22
because he's like, who is this Who's this guy that you're like hanging out
23:26
with? What is she in trouble? You know? I love the fact
23:29
that it's not a jealousy thing and that it's like, ah, like not
23:33
paternal but like she's caught up in something and she's not telling me. I
23:37
want to know he's looking after her for sure. Um, but yeah I
23:41
do. I do feel like it is kind of paternalistic. But like this
23:45
movie treats like this movie is doing the trope of the damsel in distress.
23:48
It's doing like this is like a private dick movie. It feels like we're
23:52
doing a holidack. Uh, you know what I mean? Like and like,
23:56
oh, she came to visit me in my offer. Yeah, totally.
24:00
Also, Eddie Griffin is the I and dude, he's so good seeing
24:11
give a show up. He's always so magnetic, really good actor. Yeah,
24:18
Damon Waynes was really good. He was really good, Like he was
24:22
really good in this And oh man, I always I always wanted to talk
24:26
about Bulletproof too with you. I mean this could this could be perfect for
24:30
that that movie this and Kiss Kiss bam bank. Um, but this movie,
24:37
this movie did a lot right. Yeah, like their relationship Damon Waynes
24:42
and Bruce Willis relationship is built really nicely because the payoff of the reveal that
24:47
Bruce Willis is actually like a huge fan. Yeah, so he knows who
24:53
he is, Jimmy Dix, Jimmy Dix. That's what Damon Wayne's character.
25:00
His name is Jimmy Digs, Jimmy dis Jimmy Diggs. Wow. I feel
25:03
like I should have remembered that. But yeah, I like the fact that
25:07
that, Um, like there he knows who he is, and there is
25:11
that like, well she heard my buddy Mike, but I'm filling in and
25:18
then he's like, oh what happened to Mike? He died? Like and
25:25
then he's like, oh, I'm sorry, Well he was an asshole,
25:29
Bruce. Okay, so he doesn't show a lot of range in this movie.
25:33
I will see kidding. You don't prove me wrong, children, what
25:38
is it? No, man, The kind of range that he shows is
25:42
very subtle because the eyes pay off later at the end because he does he's
25:48
acting the eye acting of like you know, because he doesn't because now Bruce
25:55
is like little tiny slits old man sagging over his eyes and he doesn't do
25:59
that anymore. That's I told Leo. I was like, that's when I
26:03
Bruce became new Bruce when he stopped doing outrage. No one's specifically the eyes,
26:11
yeah, the wild eyed because he does it in all the best movies.
26:15
He has wild eyes. Okay, Okay, that's another like bruce'sucis yeah,
26:21
first will change. Okay, let's let's be accepting in and embracing of
26:25
his changes rather than yeah, totally, we're not judging Bruce. He's got
26:27
a phasia, um and dementia. But like when somebody tries to when he
26:33
tries to punch Bruce and he grabs his hand and crushes it, dude,
26:38
he like totally collapses the energy out of him. Yeah, it's it's cool,
26:42
like it's it's also sort of like meant to be that he's that he
26:49
maybe he's not as good anymore because he's the guy because yeah, totally,
26:56
totally, which is nice. It's a good setup. And this is a
26:59
good set up too, because outside, Bruce's looking up at the poster of
27:02
Baynard, who's like a senator, a politician who Bruce used to work for.
27:10
Chelsea Ross is the actor's name, and he's so good too. He's
27:12
one of those guys who's got such a perfect dick face. But the reason
27:17
he became a private dick is because he was like security detail for this for
27:21
the president, but no, no, for this senator as well. No,
27:26
no, no, Well because he takes a bullet for the president,
27:30
yes, who's Jimmy Carter. But they also imply that he stops um,
27:34
like an assault from the house. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he
27:37
stops this senator from assaulting a girl. Yeah, which which which which is
27:41
meant to be that he's like then because he was a good guy, Bruce,
27:48
he lost his career, yeah, because he was saving a woman from
27:52
her fate at the hands of a man. Well yeah, I mean but
27:56
like Also he was going to clearly disappear or that girl because he was like
28:00
hitting her right well yeah, so I don't know, yeah, um,
28:04
but he came and he like stopped it from happening, and then he gets
28:07
clubbed outside the bar and taken away at while I just like, I don't
28:11
know, just kill him somewhere. Yeah, totally, you're gonna do it
28:15
for free. That was so weird. And the interaction, the interaction he
28:21
has with the guy is so weirdly believable like that, like like with his
28:26
like weird actor. They got Okay, so before that, Damon Waynes and
28:32
Halle Berry are getting sexy in the back room or whatever. Um. But
28:36
what was also great about this is that they built halle Berry up to be
28:41
like I've never seen this movie. I don't know how I missed. They
28:45
built her up to be a main character for sure. For sure. They
28:48
totally amazing because I was so say I was like, I was like,
28:55
oh my god, oh my god. It felt like it fell like when
29:00
a Sasha Yar died in the Next Generation. Oh yeah, yeah, where
29:04
you're like what, yeah. I like seeing her get like mowed down like
29:08
that. It reminded me of like the kind of I don't know if you've
29:12
seen that, it's a meme, but I had like a visceral reaction to
29:15
it of like Justin Bieber gets shot at like a show in a TV.
29:22
He kind of gets like mowed down and he's like still like pretty like young
29:26
looking, and it's kind of elicits this like reaction of like oh no,
29:33
he destantally was oh no, then that child, Yeah, like yeah.
29:37
Seeing halle Berry get just like murked like that was like outrage. That was
29:41
like very like sad. And then they show like just the callous dead shot
29:47
of her face just like wide eyed open, like like a cside death.
29:52
Yeah, totally totally uh. And then she got the cside treaming she did
29:57
get the C side tread or the law and ordered copaganda treatment um where it's
30:03
like killing his bad and police are good, um, but police aren't good
30:07
in this movie. Listen, listen, bad guys. That's another thing.
30:11
Bruce Now in multiple in multiple movies, positions himself as the good guy and
30:18
there are other guys who are bad guys and he's not that he's a good
30:23
guy eating a bunch of reindeer goat cheese pizza cheese pizza. He has been
30:30
eating reindeer goat cheese pizza. Yeah, he must have, you know.
30:34
Okay, so you know that when Bruce, because this is Bruce who in
30:38
the movies doesn't have any money because he's an American Joe. But the Bruce
30:41
who made the money, do you think he went and gotta reindeer pizza?
30:48
Definitely? Definitely they're gonna get a reindeer pizza. Man and this guy and
30:51
this dude who who tries to shoot Bruce and he's like they're in the head
30:55
of the chest. And then he keeps mentioning his wife and making your your
30:59
mom jokes. So but then but then he's like the guy's into it.
31:03
He's like killing this dude. Bruce also like he's so into it. Two.
31:11
Dude, Bruce is so into it. Two And like, okay,
31:14
so like this is so into black eyes liking him too. That's the thing
31:18
is like there there is a way that Bruce is always positioned with like black
31:25
people in movies that seem to say something, you know what I mean.
31:29
Like it's like it's like Bruce is definitely like he's cool with black people.
31:33
Bruce is definitely cool with black people, and black people are definitely cool with
31:37
Bruce too. It's because most cool is he because he plays the blues.
31:41
I think so. I think so. I think it goes. Stallone is
31:47
number one. He Black people like Stallone the most. I think people like
31:52
black people like dam the most. Vandam is the most relatable. I think
31:56
Bruce is the most relatable. I don't know, Schwartzy is the least relatable
32:00
to black people. Oh dude, easy is the German guy a little bit
32:06
awkward, like he you know, he doesn't have any swagger. He does
32:09
have because he's political swagger swagger totally. And when he's old he talks about
32:19
Crystal knocked. Oh dude. And then Bruce fucking grabbed as the guy's laughing
32:24
at the last picture. That the last, the last fat joke, he
32:29
says, um, he stabs him in the throat like a broken bottle and
32:34
the guys still alive. But this picture, dude is actually amazing. Dude.
32:37
He does such a good job. He does an amazing job. Like
32:40
he's definitely dude. But elevated football lair and this dude are both Dannie mal
32:46
Runs and it's like Bruce King of Danny mal runs. I think I think
32:52
so too. I think so too. I don't know what that means,
32:57
but it's like in a particular kind to nineties movie that enjoyed a good Danny
33:01
mull room. I mean, you know, it's kind of sad though,
33:06
that there aren't these roles for actors anymore. I'm just like a regular fucking
33:10
small but elevated role, you know, her signs, but no name.
33:15
Totally, totally. I mean, it still happens. I'm sure. I'm
33:17
sure Danny maul Rooms still happen. Danny mulroos happened. We'll just I'm sure
33:22
we'll cover another movie, a modern movie with Danny mal Rooms. Yeah.
33:25
So David Wayne is following Corey, who's played by Alle Berry, and he
33:36
misses a light that she goes by, and this like old timey car stops
33:40
her and crashes into her and he's like, man, don't get out of
33:44
the car, and then the fucking just mow her down. It's a crazy
33:47
scene. I thought, like, Yo, she's gonna be in the movie,
33:51
right, I thought she was gonna be in the movie too. And
33:53
she wasn't. No at all, No, she wasn't. And there is
33:57
this, this is what you're talking about. This like good shots just dead
34:01
like and like, yeah, it's very like scary because it looks real.
34:06
Yeah, it looks real. And he's like he's so sad about it,
34:09
but then immediately joking the next day, which happens in a Shane Black movie.
34:14
But like he he does a really good job of being like, oh
34:16
no, like yeah, like he loves her, He really does love you
34:22
know, like it's a it's a comedy, or like it has comedic it
34:25
is a comedy. And we didn't we didn't. We haven't been mentioning a
34:28
lot of the like one liners, because this movie is like chock full of
34:34
like like Shane Black. The Shane is is of Black one liners. Yeah
34:38
for sure, oh man. And then when when Damon Waynes kills the one
34:43
ponytail hit Man and he crashes into him and and Bruce shoots him in the
34:47
back of the pony head. It was a balding ponytail, of course,
34:52
um, and the only villains can have balding ponytails. They can't have of
34:57
course, you can't him the way the wind like thick cock thick, Yeah
35:04
exactly. He goes back up and then looks at him again, He's like
35:07
back up like that kind of like dismissive Bruce. He's he has so much
35:14
impact when he's like whoa, dude, whoa Okay, I will very slap
35:20
on it totally. Um. Yeah, Like Bruce is always very believably a
35:28
tough guy just based on his attitude in his eye act anymore. Yeah,
35:31
when people are like like, like, what, You're not scared, He's
35:36
like, no, I'm not, and it's just like dude, and people
35:43
would be like U what you know. I've also like found that there is
35:49
a lot of element of surprise stuff that happens in Bruce movies where it's like
35:53
he doesn't underestimate the power of like really really like surprising someone, like that
36:01
end scene when they're like with the man. There's so many cool surprise scenes
36:07
like the we'll get to them. I'm sorry, but like just in the
36:12
fact that the movie is so well made as like just like pure Keno action
36:19
movie, your favorite vulgar a tourism. Um, It's it really is that
36:25
kind of movie where it's just like aggressively action but also like very elevated and
36:34
that halle Berry is just Sarah, the character of Sarah, Bruce McGill,
36:38
the my character gets exploded. All of them are just like whoa Like he
36:44
made like full fledged characters in this outrageous movie, I know, and they
36:47
like go by so fast. It kind of did feel like we were just
36:52
like checking in with people, but like they He did things with their relationships
36:58
that made it seemed like they were people that knew each other and in the
37:02
real world. Even the even the police chief who arrests who arrests them and
37:07
is like talking to them and he's like, ah, he tells me eighty
37:09
percent truths, but twenty percent lies. And then that like guy who's like
37:15
his like goon or whatever, talks to Bruce and he's like, you're a
37:20
hero, you know that, And it's like Bruce has to be the hero.
37:23
He saved the president. Yeah, he saved the president. Um and
37:27
he and then they talked with his leather pants, his Kanye West pants six
37:30
hundred and fifty dollars six or they got a TV in them. Maybe if
37:37
it was like Pimp my Ride liking him it puts a TV in the put
37:43
a TV in his pants. Um. Yeah. I loved the flashbacks when
37:50
Bruce had the short hair, the cut hair, dude, I love.
37:54
I loved that hairstyle. I wish that came back, dude. But then
37:58
that's kind of the hairstyle that they gave me. Yeah, to shave it
38:00
on the sides to accentuate the hair that is there, but like the balding
38:06
that I love. Bruce willis being a good guy and like being in slow
38:09
motion and being stunned by the guy the senator hitting that girl and then being
38:15
like, no, this can't happen and in slow motion hitty and then cutting
38:20
back to his sad face just being like I'm a bum now, you know.
38:24
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's kind of like there is an element in
38:29
the movie where it's like I'm a bum because of choices that I made that
38:34
were valorous. Yeah, and I shouldn't be making valorous choices because it seems
38:39
like there's like a he's allowed to have a chip on his shoulder and he's
38:43
allowed to bend more to rules because that's how he learns at the end.
38:49
Yeah, Like and look, of course, one thing you always point out
38:52
to me is like, you know, it's good to have characters that are
38:55
super flawed because then they can more believably go through like a change totally and
39:00
I love I love when um Damon Waye says circum ran um. Do you
39:07
know rights no circumvent? Remember in Arrested Element when Job tries to say circumvent
39:16
because he hears somebody else saying and then later on who says circrant and tries
39:22
to like pass it off. They were like commenting on this scene. No,
39:27
no, I was just saying that, like it was just fun.
39:29
I just brought it up because I thought you'd get the get the reverence.
39:31
But no, it's okay, you can cut this um. But yeah,
39:35
he says circumvent and he's like, it's called vocabulary. You read much.
39:39
Oh yeah. So Shane Black loves adding like little wordy moments in like he's
39:45
like, um, he like you can tell that there's moments in his movies
39:50
that are very like, well you know I write, yeah, Like what
39:52
he's like a monkey saying the word fight is yeah kiss kiss bang bang.
39:58
I was just like, that's such a shame black line, just like this
40:01
circumvent. He wanted someone to say circumvent. And also he I feel like,
40:07
because he's a writer, he's always in the mode of needing to fit
40:14
words accurately to characters that are being depicted, but has also been personally seemed
40:21
like in a situation where he's used words that people haven't understood. Yeah,
40:25
it's and they've given him books where it's like what are he's saying? You
40:30
know what I mean? Yeah, And like the thing I always remember is
40:32
like, um, how badly is an adverb, and like it's like you
40:39
feel bad because if you feel badly, the mechanism by which you feel would
40:45
be broken. So you feel badly, yeah, instead of like, yeah,
40:51
that's something I always remember from shame black writing. And but yeah,
40:58
it feels very much like a shame Black Yeah, for sure. And then
41:04
he's like misogynistic question mark Shane Black. I mean, everybody's misogynistic in this
41:08
era. Like you can't get away with not being you can tell that that
41:13
not the worst part of that scene where that guy's getting that woman he's trying
41:17
to make her blow them like that that wasn't though. He wouldn't even think
41:22
that's the worst part of that scene. Man, Like it's such a like
41:25
it was such a stressful scene to watch because it was like, what is
41:30
this? Nobody seems to be reacting and he's not the only person there.
41:39
Yeah. Oh yeah, it supposed to be like football players have. So
41:44
Okay, is this movie saying football is bad? Because it's like saying like
41:47
a huh, football really dropped off and the glory days of football really over?
41:53
Yeah? Is that what the movie seems to be saying. Yeah,
41:58
but like, don't American fucking love football? Yeah? Of course, So
42:02
this is a total fantasy with even though I don't think so at all.
42:07
I don't think. I don't think there's ever been a time there's ever been
42:08
a time where football Uh but do you know the real football? No,
42:14
I'm kidding football, I don't mean so. Um. Yeah. So they
42:23
go into Corey's apartment and we get the fake tier of of David Wayne's because
42:30
it cuts to a SloMo shot of halle Berry and then it cuts back to
42:35
the tier already having gone down. His says, because he wasn't that good
42:38
yet, he was still good. But yeah, he ends up like fumbling
42:45
around, I assume, kind of looking for drugs and then he finds in
42:50
which is also a reason they had him be a drug addict, which is
42:52
great. I think it's a great way to put that in and he pops
42:57
open this thing and he finds a tape. Yeah, and he finds like
43:00
pictures. Yeah. Yeah. Of like I think it's like the Senator and
43:07
no, it's like the football guy. It's the football owner guy. It's
43:10
a football owner guy and the Senator and they're basically Okay. I was like
43:15
hoping that you could like explain the plot to me a bit, because I
43:17
did get confused. Oh okay, okay, So what ended up happening was,
43:22
um, the guy Baynard wanted to blackmail Wait, see, like this
43:31
is what I mean. Like I was confused as to who was trying to
43:35
blackmail whom and for what? Um, quick googling, Alex, I'm it
43:53
doesn't matter. Um. Oh. What he wanted to do was, um,
44:09
the football guy wanted to make gambling legal through the Senator and then kill
44:16
the Senator, kill the Senator and get it to be a get them to
44:24
blame somebody else for which is Bruce Willis. Oh, um, and yeah
44:30
that's that's but it's pretty easy, but it does. It is very confusing
44:34
because so much happens, so much happens. Wait, I still don't fully
44:38
understand it. Why would they think Bruce Willis. Oh, because Bruce Willis
44:42
is a history with the Senator, which is why they included that. Okay,
44:45
okay, um, sure, sure, yeah whatever. And halle Berry
44:50
had some tapes that she recorded from the football guy because she's a prostitute who
44:55
slept with the football guy and recorded him. And then they destroy the tame
45:00
and Waves destroys the tape in the car um and it's a hilarious moment because
45:07
kids of a nursertain age will not understand that there were tapes and cars.
45:12
Oh, I mean yeah, that part was so weird and like so they're
45:15
listening to the tape and then he fast forwards and like they could have fixed
45:20
that tape. Like I've definitely fixed worse off tape and definitely fixed off worse
45:23
tapes than that too. But I also loveta grab one of those steeloss that's
45:31
shaped perfectly that the star could go see. This is something that only only
45:36
fans Um, speaking of only fans Um. The guy who's, hey,
45:44
dude, just slip it under my door, who comes in and confronts Bruce
45:47
Willis, that him, That was him, I like emotionally recognized, totally
45:53
did because it's like I've felt bad for this faceboofore. Um, but it
45:59
was kind of by logical impertive, like telling me to remember, oh no,
46:04
this is a broken person, but you you recognize him now that you
46:07
know who it is, right, Wow, he's supposed to be playing such
46:14
a tough guy. Yeah, and I think was like, man, who
46:17
harmed you? Yeah? Totally, Hey, dude, just the rent.
46:23
I mean, he was cool. He's a good actor. He's a really
46:27
good actor, and he like it's he looks basically the same except way thinner,
46:31
you know. Yea. Um, but yeah, he finds out.
46:34
What I like about this scene is that he finds out that um, Corey
46:37
had two cars and Damon Ways was dripping one of them, so they rigged
46:42
the bomb in the other one, and he knew that he might get This
46:45
relationship building between Damon Wayne's and Bruce Willis is great because of the fact that
46:54
they have these moments of like, oh no, like I don't want this
46:58
guy to die, save him, you know, but they have like respect
47:01
for each other, and the later reveal it makes the respect even more like,
47:07
oh, this guy totally would save this guy because he's his favorite football
47:09
player. Yeah, totally totally And like the fact that like it makes the
47:14
believability of their of how fast their relationship grows totally, totally. Yeah,
47:20
this is the difference between a Bruce that's good actor Bruce with motivation versus the
47:24
last movie with no motivation Bruce. Yeah. Okay, so so I definitely
47:30
Bruce Willis is like the main character of this movie. But I feel like
47:32
they're pretty co leads, you know. I would say that, like I
47:37
would say that Damon is not just a supporting actor, and there's no definitely
47:42
not. And I think that Bruce like shares screen time well and allows for
47:52
other he's seen partners to like shine. Yeah. I think that Bruce does
47:58
a really good job at being a normal human dude. Damon Waynes was my
48:04
favorite Wayne's brother. Yeah, of course he's He's low key the best Mark.
48:08
I know everyone likes Marlin the most, but like, I think Damon
48:13
is the is the better brother. I want to see my brother, can
48:19
I can I tell you something? This is my last of It's it's actually
48:22
Damon, Wayne's Keenan and Ivery. Yeah, um Marlonna, Sean is Sean
48:30
is better than Marlin. I think I think Sean could be a better actor
48:34
than Marlin, but Marlin was in fucking m Yeah, and we can't undersell
48:40
Marlin either, No, dude, all of them are. I wish all
48:44
of them acted. And also, um show Damon Wayne's junior is pretty good.
48:50
He's not as good as his dad. Who's Damon. What's sister's name?
49:00
There's more than one sister, right, there's two things, so I
49:01
think so. And there's a whole bunch of actor kids too. That Arne's
49:07
dynasty. Yeah, it's it's pretty great. They're amazing, Like I feel
49:10
like their impact on popular culture and like just in in media and shit doesn't
49:15
get talked about it enough. The Damon Wayne's show is amazing. The show
49:20
was a really good show in Living Color. Color was such amazing of course,
49:27
among like also Damon and Marlin, but that is like that, it's
49:34
their show, their show, Um, speaking of their show, Daniel,
49:40
it's Daniel Harris who plays Donnian. What's her name again, it's some outrageous
49:47
name, Darien, which is a cool name, dude. I loved her
49:53
Darius, like Shane Black and the kid actors, it sometimes really works in
49:59
this movie, really the movie Shine. She's a really job and making kids
50:04
swear in movies and how to be realistic where it's like you're fuck up and
50:08
like that it was her, It was her, He's hurt in that scene.
50:13
They played well off of each other. But but but she did so
50:15
much heavy lifting. Those are hard lines, especially like she's a tween,
50:22
she's like thirteen. It's such an awkward age for acting, very awkward age,
50:28
right, because like you don't even know who you are, and like
50:30
I feel like a lot of roles don't even get cast for people this age
50:36
because it's so uncomfortable for everyone. It's just like you're going through puberty.
50:40
It's weird, right, Like you're a kid, but you're like grown up
50:45
enough that like you know that stuff is like weird and cringe and like acting
50:51
like a person believably in this age. That's such an awkward age to portray
50:54
and write. Yeah, yeah, like it's everything about it is so but
51:00
it was done really well, both on the writing side and on her,
51:04
but mostly on her side. Mostly on her, she did most most of
51:07
the work. I think you're absolutely right. She was fourteen, fourteen years
51:12
counselor so yeah, like they where they put David Wayne's and her played off
51:16
of each other really well too, because it was like he's like, oh,
51:20
you want to be left alone. I get it. I'll be in
51:22
the kitchen and he's shaming Bruce when he's talking about his daughter. But my
51:25
daughter has important no. No, I mean like it makes sense that this
51:30
kind of guy would be totally but he's like he's like, she's wearing makeup.
51:35
She probably fucking boys next year. It's like, dude, vote and
51:39
like I want to be fucking her. I mean that's what's implied honestly when
51:45
dads do not in this movie. But when dad's do that bullshit where they're
51:49
like, my daughter's not gonna be it's like, bro, like how old
51:52
were you and who are you? Like when you were exactly talking exactly like
51:57
this stuff really has to like it's it's just embarrassing. It's like but it's
52:04
good relationship building because it's yeah, because like which they don't be this dad,
52:10
don't know, don't be this dad in real life, don't be this
52:13
let your kid fuck like I mean like not, this is how the only
52:16
thing is a dad that you should be is sit your kid down, say
52:21
hey, if somebody is not touching you and you don't want to be touched
52:24
exact exactly. You wear condoms for people that you're getting to know, uh,
52:30
and make sure that they're not extremely this age. Make sure they're your
52:36
age or like a year apart exactly, don't exactly exactly like watch out tell,
52:42
explain to your child, like how it's possible to take get and take
52:46
an advantage of, teach them about consent, and teach them about like and
52:51
and make sure communication communication. Yeah, exactly. It's so all of this
52:54
stuff and like like not just like, oh my daughter's not gonna be fucking.
53:01
It's like, okay, dude, but oh man, when she mentions
53:06
fucking, When she mentions uncle Jay and he's like, yeah, uncle Jay,
53:10
well he should be in jail for tax fraud. Well he doesn't get
53:14
caught. I was just like, oh dude, that's shitty man because he
53:20
doesn't fuck up. That's what she says to her dad. And the fight
53:24
was so weirdly specific, specifically, very real about specific people, Like I
53:31
was just like, oh man, this feels like I'm listening it on someone's
53:36
conversationally shaped black man. But that's why it works. And then but Sarah
53:39
is there, which is great because but she just appears out of nowhere.
53:44
It's kind of outrageous. But I liked it. I was doubt I was
53:46
like cool whatever, um and like David, do you think Bruce was embarrassed
53:52
to be embarrassed in front of David, humiliated by his daughter, coxed by
53:58
his wife. No, don't think so. I think this is too cool.
54:01
Is public humiliation? Ruse? See? But like I don't think that.
54:06
So they make sure to let us know that Bruce is just neglecting his
54:08
wife. It's not that he's not gonna fucking hundred percent, he's just well,
54:16
I think he's depressed too, right, Like he's supposed to be like
54:20
depressed because he doesn't want to be a private dick. Yeah, totally one
54:22
hundred percent, said one hundred percent. Too bad a san and judge.
54:29
No, Ma, where are we? We're at the time where Bruce is
54:36
talking to Damon about sorry the Internet. I'm just gonna lock into my fifty
54:44
gigs, dude. I mean, you know I'm wasting my gigs on you,
54:47
dude, my twenty five gigs left that I have four more days until
54:54
How am I not, dude, you fucking dick making me spend some of
55:02
my twenty five left that I have off my phone to watch this fucking movie.
55:08
No, it's the scene where where Damon Wayne's is like, I gotta
55:12
go shower. Can I take a shower? And he's like, yeah,
55:14
I'll get you down, and then he snorts a little bit of blow and
55:17
he's like, what the fuck are you doing? He Bruce gets severely triggered,
55:22
triggered trigger and then he throws a thousand dollars nineteen ninety one, thousand
55:28
dollars for the cocaine. Dude, it's not just coca It's like he just
55:31
does all kinds of pills. This is the time when like people didn't do
55:36
specific drugs, they just did all different kinds of pills. Totally. You
55:38
had to be anti drug, all drug all the time. Yeah, and
55:44
this is where we find out that, um, that Jimmy is the quarterback
55:50
that Bruce Willis loves from. But my daughter is important. Danielle Harris Darien
55:58
uh and I love that name, Darian. Yeah, dar is a great
56:04
name. And then Kim Coats comes up to fucking red hat wearing he's wearing
56:13
the Maga hat. Dude. Yeah, yeah, um, and they they
56:16
take David Wayne's and they throw him off a fucking highway. Oh dude,
56:22
that part was insane. And then he like falls onto like a parked car.
56:25
Yeah, but he's okay and like people are really confused to see him
56:30
and he's like, oh yeah, totally does like your jelly eyes. He
56:37
would die, would die, he would be like hun or he'd be in
56:44
like I don't know, like the very least he would have like several crushed
56:47
vertebrae. And then Milo Eunanapolis shows up in the movie and fully named Milo
56:55
in the movie too and clearly coated gay. This guy bleached Tara guy.
57:00
Yeah, which, and he's amazing though he's one of the best buy dude,
57:06
he was one of the best guys too. Yeah dude. And this
57:09
guy dude died in twenty fifteen. Like he's not around anymore. I wish
57:14
I could work with this guy. He's he was really good, very intense.
57:19
He reminded me of that. He reminded me of that gross um those
57:22
gross siblings from Uh It's Always Sunny in Philadelphiapoiles. Yeah, he reminded me
57:29
of like that one mcpoile, the like long stringy hair mcpoile. He gave
57:34
me that energy. He reminded me of Fred Armison. He did have Fred
57:38
Armison energy. Um. And then there's that part where the cop comes up
57:42
to him and he's like, good morning. Is there a problem, actually,
57:45
officer, as a matter of fact, there is. And then and
57:49
then he gives the gun to Bruce. Oh he frames the frames Bruce.
57:52
Yeah, it's great. And he keeps calling Joe Joseph. And I love
58:00
the fact that that, um we see as Bruce Willis is waking up,
58:05
he's like remembering what it was like to have the shaved sides on the hair
58:09
and like a lot more hair on the top and jumping in front of Jimmy
58:14
Carter to get shot. Um, he saved Jimmy Carter. Yeah. And
58:20
then there's the most inconsequential resident, How are you kidding? Jimmy Carter was
58:23
amazing. He was the closest thing to a socialist president you'd ever known,
58:28
and he will ever happen. And also he was the he was what's it
58:32
called what are the He was evangelical too. He's the only real evangelical in
58:37
America too, which is crazy. He's still alive, right, No,
58:43
he died, He's dying now. Actually, yeah, no, Jimmy Carter
58:50
is fine. I I wasn't shooting on Jimmy Carter. I don't know,
58:52
like as far as American President's going, and I'm still alive in hospital.
58:55
He's in hospital in nineties. Yeah yeah, yeah, um so he saved
59:00
Jimmy Carter. Yeah. Kim Coates is punching U, offering Bruce a cigarette
59:06
and then punching it out of his mouth after giving him the light, and
59:09
then he's like, if you do that again, I'm gonna kill you.
59:14
Do you like? And then he's like but he punches him and he's like,
59:16
I thought you were tough. I loved Kim Coates in this so good
59:21
and this this actor, this guy who's the mushy faced guy didn't this guy
59:28
wasn't there a line. It was like, was like, which, what
59:30
if he looks like by Petis And I was like just kept thinking about how
59:32
much that guy looks like But yeah, so like he kills Kim Coates by
59:38
I remember the nineties, was really scared. When I was a kid,
59:42
people you used to say this to me all the time. I was like,
59:44
oh, you can get your punch the cartilage up into your nose,
59:46
it kill goes into your brain. That was such a nineties way of dying.
59:51
Like I know that it's like possible to die like that, but like
59:52
it was talked a lot about in the nineties percent it was definitely a quick
59:57
sand moment. It was like, oh, no, what happens if I
1:00:00
get hit there? And then the other guys, like the penis guy was
1:00:06
like, do you fucking killed him? Man? And he's like, yeah,
1:00:08
I did. And then Milo comes back and he's like, is there
1:00:13
a problem due then he like, does any put his nose through his fucking
1:00:19
brain? Knows there is a brain? And then finally we get the um
1:00:29
the evil football guy who's like, gonna explain the entire plan uh, And
1:00:35
he does explain the entire plan, which is very complex but also very simple.
1:00:39
Um. As the police are interrogating Um Damon Waynes uh and he Um
1:00:53
Damon Wayne's gets the address from the football guy to go there to try and
1:00:59
say Bruce. And what's awesome is what's her name? Danielle Hesselback does the
1:01:08
big Lebowski where she um traces over the numbers that Um Damon wrote in the
1:01:15
phone book. Yeah, and she joins him in the car. They're on
1:01:20
an adventure together. They're on an adventure together, which is great. I
1:01:22
loved it. I thought, was she we already know she can do a
1:01:27
lot of heavy lifting? Um? And when do they When did they show
1:01:32
up to save him? Well? One thing, Yeah, well I guess
1:01:37
we talked about the legalized gambling stuff and all that. I'm a little bit
1:01:42
lost in the sauce. Well, we finally get introduced to the um senator.
1:01:47
He's doing his like interview thing, um, like this is like real
1:01:52
time. We get to hear him talk and stuff. Um, and the
1:01:57
uh damon pulls up to the house where Bruce Willis is at and Danielle has
1:02:02
managed to find her way there with the puppet, which also comes back.
1:02:08
The puppet. Puppet was great, and they take they take Bruce to the
1:02:12
woods because they're gonna, um, they're gonna get pictures of him handing off
1:02:19
the suitcase full of a bomb that's gonna blow up the president. And that's
1:02:24
the plot of the movie. You're trying to stage a thing. And then
1:02:29
the daughter but my daughter's important shows up and she's she does this really funny
1:02:34
thing where she like acts like she's like, oh, I'm talking with the
1:02:38
door dog, and like it could be so cringe and it could be so
1:02:44
badly delivered by a kid. But she did such a good job, and
1:02:47
Bruce did an amazing like reacting to her. Yeah, the amazing voice acting
1:02:52
he was doing with the high pitched I love. I love Bruce's voice too.
1:02:57
Yeah, me too, Bruce. Bruce's voice is as iconic as as
1:03:01
the rest of them, any of the other. Yes, yeah, yeah,
1:03:04
I agree. Who do you think who do you think I do the
1:03:07
best of the four? Well, I don't know, Like you're Schwartz,
1:03:12
he's not as good as your Schwartzy. I find they were all. I
1:03:15
find that we're really good at the impressions when the when the season is happening.
1:03:19
Yeah, and then it kind of drops off because we're not doing it
1:03:21
as much. We're not hearing is getting good or getting pretty good? Yeah
1:03:24
for sure. I mean it's really easy. This one's really easy. Yeah,
1:03:29
it's it's mostly just bringing your own voice down, and there's particular cadences
1:03:35
you have to hit to make it sound like it. Definitely cadences. People
1:03:37
will underestimate the cadences. But yeah, she hands him the dog he starts
1:03:44
like fooling around making sounds. Everybody starts laughing, and then he murders everybody.
1:03:47
You were asking me, though, who do I think you do the
1:03:50
best? Yeah? Who do you think I do the best? Well,
1:03:52
you're you're you're your stallone yell is unmatched stallone Yell. I don't think I
1:03:57
think you do. I think you do a good van dam actually best too.
1:04:02
Yeah, I think your SCHWARTZI is the best. I think you do
1:04:05
Michael Roker amazingly. I mean Michael Roker, Yeah that is my it's your
1:04:11
legendary. Yeah. Yeah, two bad people don't know mama, because I
1:04:15
do a really good chicken. Um. So the escape, they start driving
1:04:20
away, um, like shooting a bunch of shit. This is all like
1:04:26
action stuff that's like, you know, outrageous and like would never have the
1:04:30
physics of this is like close to balloon but like because it's real shit,
1:04:35
you're just like, oh, this is sick um. And then they they
1:04:40
they drive down they crashed down a bunch of mountain basically where Milo flies into
1:04:46
the pool of this character actor who I forget this guy, oh man,
1:04:55
his reactions and like the way they're talking in front of him, and he's
1:04:58
like totally yeah, I would totally react like this guy. Yeah, like
1:05:02
something crazy like this happened to me. I would be so confused that I
1:05:05
would react like this guy. I was confused. But yeah, you got
1:05:12
those seconds to get both of you the fuck out, dude. That was
1:05:15
my favorite drop in that video, Like, honestly, you got both of
1:05:19
you to seconds, because it sounds that's the most euro you got both of
1:05:24
your seconds. You got both of you two seconds to get to get the
1:05:30
fuck out the fuck out, Yeah, to get the fuck out. But
1:05:33
yeah, Milo somehow escapes for some reason. We don't know that yet,
1:05:39
but they they escape. He leaves, uh, they leave Danielle Harris his
1:05:44
character there dar what's her name again? Dar? Darien Um and Milo viciously
1:05:50
and evily comes out and kidnaps her while Bruce is like driving manically down the
1:05:58
highway to catch up to the bomb and DamID Lanes is trying to draw the
1:06:02
bomb so that because the senator is in bulletproof a bullet roof guard, he
1:06:09
won't be able to hear. So he draws a crappy bomb. Um yeah,
1:06:14
and he writes bo M and tries to show the guy. But the
1:06:17
guy like he kind of just like shoots through the glass. Yeah, is
1:06:21
it a secret service guy? Yeah, I guess so, I don't even
1:06:26
know they're allowed to just shoot in the car. And then and then um,
1:06:33
yeah, Joe gets a call from from Milo and they're headed to the
1:06:39
stadium and he's like, fuck, he's got Darien. Um and they take
1:06:43
the bomb, they take the money, uh, and they take some shards
1:06:47
these bomb things that if they melt or if they get hot, they'll explode
1:06:53
or whatever, which pays off later of course, of course. Um,
1:06:58
and the football game goes on, and the guy who tried to rape that
1:07:00
girl fucking goes he's like he's like, I knows David Wayne's and the TA
1:07:06
takes a shotgun in his face there is he had a shotgun. Later when
1:07:12
he's showing he's yeah, he's such a boot liquor. Um. But yeah,
1:07:16
dude, like I don't know what. He goes, you kicked off
1:07:21
this fucking team, and he's like, I'm gonna kick you off this fucking
1:07:25
planet. Yeah. Like, the movie did lose my attention a little bit
1:07:31
at times because it felt like like I don't don't get me wrong, I
1:07:36
really loved it. And I actually remember this movie being kind of Pantheon,
1:07:41
but like I've seen it. This is definitely like a Serbia movie. And
1:07:45
I was watching this with me and she was like, oh, yeah,
1:07:47
this scene, I haven't I don't think I've ever seen this movie. Something's
1:07:51
felt a little bit familiar, That's the thing is. But like nineties movies,
1:07:56
you can get any sort of familiar. Maybe maybe I didn't watch this
1:07:59
movie. Maybe, but I don't know. I don't know. Um,
1:08:01
but I did feel a little bit like it was losing me at times,
1:08:03
and definitely like some of the more nineties stuff, Like I know, I
1:08:10
know Shane Black, I know I know all of this stuff. Yeah,
1:08:13
and like but like I mean, not all of the guys we've covered now
1:08:17
the trajectories of like three major iconic like action stars, and not all of
1:08:25
them did that, did all this stuff totally. Um, Yeah, they
1:08:30
get, they get we're getting to the end, we're winding down. They're
1:08:33
in a big uh like separate entrance where it's an office, and Shelley the
1:08:40
villain is like, oh, you I'm explaining my master plan to you guys.
1:08:44
Uh And then um he's like, oh, I have this football that
1:08:48
you had that you gave me that you signed. Here, take it.
1:08:51
And then he shoots Damon Wayne's in the hand, by the way, like
1:08:56
the dead upsets which shoot betting people in the hand. With this, I
1:09:01
don't know if this is just me with this insane idea that you can have
1:09:05
dexterity in your hand. Down there's somebody like tendons and like nerves and stuff
1:09:15
directly in the hand. The back of this dude's hand would be like blown
1:09:19
out. I saw. You know, I don't think that that's completely true.
1:09:24
I think that he would be able to use some he would have some
1:09:28
mobility and like some you know, like but it would be painstakingly like it
1:09:32
would be many years of like surgeries and totally recovery and share with the American
1:09:40
healthcare system at nineteen ninety one, this guy has money, yeah, totally,
1:09:45
but even man, even though well, these people could go bankrupt with
1:09:48
that kind of injury. But what I love is Bruce's ideas paticulate totally.
1:09:56
Bruce's idea of like you know, you know, ugalize gambling. Who do
1:10:00
you think is gonna come after you? The mob? The mob is not
1:10:03
going to let billions of dollars. Look go you know, um that that
1:10:08
was a cool idea. What did you make of the name of the movie,
1:10:12
The Last Boy Scout and how we get to that? I loved it.
1:10:15
I thought it was great. It was a great payoff. Well,
1:10:16
how do we get to it? Well, we get to it because wait,
1:10:21
how do we get to it? I don't even remember that it was
1:10:24
written down on something that that Oh yeah, he got the card that that
1:10:30
she she has a card of Um, Danielle Harris has Bruce Willis or David
1:10:36
Waynes, Yeah, Jimmy Dicks um uh player card and he signs it the
1:10:44
Last Boy Scout, which is cool. I like that. Plus he is
1:10:46
a boy Scout because he's like, oh, I'm anti drug and I'm saving
1:10:50
the President and all that kind of stuff. So I'm like, I'm like
1:10:54
pretty good with that. And it's just a cool name. Cool um with
1:11:00
it deals in the kind of iconography that that shaved black brother totally of Like
1:11:05
he likes a button on things. Uh David Wayne pulls out a little thing
1:11:11
and he's like, it's one of those plastic keys that will open where the
1:11:15
money is at in some locker that I put here. It's in the fire.
1:11:19
Um melts the keys, tries the tooth. Yeah, but actually it's
1:11:25
an explosion. It's actually the shards that that he stole from the military guys
1:11:30
or the But then like Bruce shooting a shotgun is awesome, and David Wayne's
1:11:36
shooting guys in the legs is awesome and the legs just exploding. Dude,
1:11:43
squibs dude, yeah, dude, I mean Squibs are awesome. Should make
1:11:46
a comeback, dude, they should make a comeback. Uh. And then
1:11:49
the the Shelley the villain, he sees the suitcase in the car and he's
1:11:56
like, they weren't lying and then smashes it but takes the pom instead,
1:12:01
which I loved. That was also a shade black as that was like really
1:12:05
great. H And then we get to the end of the movie where um,
1:12:11
they saved the girl. Bruce Willis goes to run up and he's like,
1:12:16
there's a sniper on the roof and almost gets arrested, and Baynard Is
1:12:20
is like getting shot at uh, and the dumb football guy, the rapist
1:12:27
football guy is like, that's David Waynes and he's trying to get to him,
1:12:30
and it's all like everything's kind of coming to a head, coming to
1:12:33
a head. I love the fact that the football player um fucking crashing into
1:12:39
that horse that the that David Waynes is riding. Uh, and then he's
1:12:43
like, can I stay alive? I want to do a little jick?
1:12:46
Oh my fucking yeah, dude. It was sick. He goes Peter,
1:13:02
he basically does totally. And I love the fact that Milo was the final
1:13:09
boss. It was great, final boss. Good. I'm you know what,
1:13:13
I want gay villains to make a comeback. This guy was amazing.
1:13:15
He did such a good job. Absolutely, and then he falls as a
1:13:20
helicopter is coming and his body just gets destroyed. Shopped. I fucking loved
1:13:27
this ending. And I loved when Bruce just starts just doing a little jig.
1:13:33
I was like, man, okay, so who is this movie for?
1:13:39
Who was this movie for? It was for us, dude, It
1:13:43
was for eighteen to thirty five year olds. That's who the We were eighteen,
1:13:47
We were kids. Like, of course we were kids. But I'm
1:13:50
taking telling you. You're saying, all right, right, this that's who
1:13:54
this movie is for, right, that's the demographic. Yeah? Yeah,
1:13:58
because movies could make it be made like this. Now, movies aren't made
1:14:01
like this. They're all made like that you people movie with that weird look,
1:14:06
and it has to be way too knowing and it has to be way
1:14:10
too aware of itself. Well, it's just about the time we live in
1:14:13
too, like you live in a different time. But it's like you're right
1:14:16
that there was a certain kind of naivete that was really like a golden era
1:14:20
for these kinds of movies, and like because of that, like, are
1:14:25
we done talking about the movie? No, we have one more part.
1:14:27
Okay, okay, but finish what you werena Well, I was gonna I
1:14:29
wanted to like wrap it up in the in my rating of it, but
1:14:31
oh, okay, okay. The one thing that I wanted to to point
1:14:35
out, which was the payoff, which is where Sarah comes up to him
1:14:41
and she's like, I'm sorry, and then he goes, fuck you,
1:14:44
Sarah, which is what she wanted him to say, his wife. Yeah,
1:14:48
And then he's like, oh, you're a liar, You're a bitch,
1:14:51
Sarah, like kind of smiling, and then they hug each other and
1:14:55
it's actually a very he says the thing she asked in the beginning playfully,
1:15:00
she wanted really what she wanted was him to fight for her because she wasn't
1:15:03
being noticed by him. Yeah, And so like they're able to reconcile,
1:15:06
Like I know, we were joking about the cooking thing, but like they
1:15:10
were, they're able to reconcile their relationship and their broken trust because she was
1:15:14
like asking him actively to like give her more attention. Yeah, and he
1:15:18
wasn't giving her that. And now that he is giving her that, they're
1:15:21
able to mend the relationship. Yeah. And then um, the police she
1:15:26
finds all the money. Uh, and we see Sully open the thing and
1:15:32
explode, and that explosion felt very much out of it's a knockoff. Oh,
1:15:39
it's like very cartoonish. Yeah, totally um yeah. Like and then
1:15:43
for some reason, Jimmy Dixon Joe are best friends at the end of the
1:15:46
word, because that's what everyone wants to see at the end of a buddy
1:15:50
movie. They want to see the people be the best. He's like,
1:15:54
no, where's the other guy your friend? Yeah? You know, you
1:15:57
know, you know how old people talk to young people. They're like,
1:16:00
no, no, the guy you friend? Yeah, And like they just
1:16:05
decide that someone is your friend. Yeah, totally, totally yeah, and
1:16:14
you're like what which one? And then it's like you know that guy,
1:16:18
what the thing? And you're like, oh, that wasn't my friend.
1:16:23
I don't like we met like and it's like I don't know, you know,
1:16:28
they got confused and said, um yeah yeah dude, and um.
1:16:32
So ultimately, I think, you know, I give this movie. This
1:16:39
movie like weirdly can't exist anymore, and it was such a hidden gem that
1:16:44
like I was happy to see it's such a red heat for me, and
1:16:50
that like I can forgive it some of the stuff that like I find kind
1:16:56
of annoying about it, like yeah, you know, all the like whatever
1:16:59
problematic shouldn't stuff, But like it's like there's a kind of like universe that
1:17:03
this movie like functions in that I'm like willing to kind of like be like,
1:17:08
okay, like this is just like it's universe. It's just like Shane
1:17:12
Black World, you know what I mean. So it felt it felt for
1:17:16
that reason, like can I rate it? Yeah? Do it? Dude?
1:17:20
It felt for that reason that I would give it, like I'm gonna
1:17:27
say a seven point eight very fair, very fair, because I think that
1:17:36
you know, had this movie caught us at the right age. It would
1:17:40
have been Pantheon, but because it didn't, like, I feel like some
1:17:45
of the other stuff is less forgivable, you know what I mean. Yeah,
1:17:49
there's stuff that I might have looked past or or like grown up with
1:17:54
that are just like in memory. Yeah, yeah, I know what you
1:17:58
mean. I'm still going to go and give it an eight because it's so
1:18:04
watchable. Shane Black and Tony Scott. I don't know how I've never seen
1:18:10
this. It's a good pair. It's a good pairing. R. I
1:18:12
p Tony Scott. Um. But I hope we do more of Tony Scott's
1:18:17
movies because especially if Shane Black's career, Yeah, totally um if with The
1:18:23
Predator, of course. But if we end up doing Denzel, we will
1:18:28
do another Tony Scott. We'll do a couple of Tony or They worked at
1:18:31
the Fire, They've worked together a few times, though, I think,
1:18:34
oh yeah, deja vu. Yeah yeah, But I'm gonna give it a
1:18:43
eight, and I'm gonna Howny Bruce's that's a tough one. I I know,
1:18:49
mine, go ahead. I think I would give it like a high
1:18:54
six, like a six point she's gonna say a seven too, But like,
1:18:57
I think you're right. I think there's just there's not enough of him
1:19:01
in it. He's giving a little I'm more giving. I'm giving it more
1:19:05
Damon Wayne. I'm because I would give it also a nine Damon because he
1:19:19
he's just doesn't have as much experience doing these kinds of roles. He had
1:19:25
more of a blank slate going into it, I think, which is helpful
1:19:29
in this case because we Bruce comes with some expectations exactly, and like Damon's
1:19:33
like, we know Damon's good, He's been in good in everything, but
1:19:36
coming in here at this point in his career as a young guy, you
1:19:41
know what I mean, Like it's like I feel like we've had another actor
1:19:45
that we talked about in this way before. I don't know in what season
1:19:49
we did, but like you know, in in that way of like you're
1:19:55
just giving a lot of props because of the fact that he's got so much
1:19:59
more room to grow. But he did such a good job. Yeah,
1:20:03
you know, as as coming from like a comedy background, it's not everybody's
1:20:08
Jamie Fox where it's like where you're just like multi talented and everything where you're
1:20:13
just like a theater kid who's like expert level. Yeah, and like I
1:20:17
think that. Um, Like I will go again and say, Damon Waynes,
1:20:25
of all of his siblings, I think has the most range. I
1:20:29
think so I just wish that there were more exploration with all the Wayanses.
1:20:33
