  Grand Touring Motorsports started as a social group of car enthusiasts,
• 0:04
  but we've expanded into all sorts of motorsports disciplines, and we
• 0:08
  want to share our stories with you.
• 0:10
  Years of racing, wrenching, and motorsports experience brings
• 0:13
  together a top notch collection of knowledge and information
• 0:17
  through our podcast, Brake Fix.
• 0:22
  The following episode is intended for mature audiences.
• 0:25
  Please note that listener discretion is advised.
• 0:27
  She was a beautiful fugitive, fleeing from corruption and from power.
• 0:33
  He was a professional athlete past his prime, hired to find
• 0:36
  her, and he grew to love her.
• 0:38
  Love turned to obsession, obsession turned to murder, and now the price
• 0:42
  of freedom might be nothing less.
• 0:44
  She stole 50 grand from me.
• 0:49
  I want her back.
• 0:53
  I want you to find her for me.
• 0:57
  You got problems now, Terry.
• 0:59
  You want trouble too?
• 1:00
  Yeah!
• 1:03
  Not many people could handle something like this, Jessie.
• 1:06
  But you come from a powerful family.
• 1:11
  What is it you don't like exactly?
• 1:13
  Football players, tacos, or beer?
• 1:16
  I like tacos and I like beer.
• 1:18
  So many people must have loved you.
• 1:21
  Just let me take her back with me, Terry.
• 1:31
  Harry, he could hurt us.
• 1:32
  You mean he could hurt me?
• 1:34
  Don't think if he doesn't even things up with me, I'm not
• 1:36
  gonna stomp on his pretty face.
• 1:39
  You were in on it, Jesus.
• 1:40
  That's not true.
• 1:41
  You helped set me up.
• 1:42
  Get off him!
• 1:45
  I just found out tonight Jake jumps for you.
• 1:47
  You told him everything, didn't you?
• 1:48
  Didn't you?
• 1:51
  You've become everything I'm about, don't you understand that?
• 1:55
  Jake, I love him!
• 1:57
  You don't think I need to be cared for too?
• 1:58
  You want to gamble with me, Terry?
• 2:09
  This is going to be a really entertaining review of Against All Odds, starring Jeff
• 2:15
  Bridges, Rachel Ward, and James Woods, featuring our friends Steve and Izzy
• 2:20
  from Everything I Learned From Movies.
• 2:23
  Hey, everybody.
• 2:23
  Hey, I'm sorry.
• 2:25
  You just described the plot to The Big Lebowski, so we may
• 2:27
  have watched the wrong movie.
• 2:29
  An unemployed Jeff Bridges is hired by a rich white to find a family member.
• 2:34
  Hijinks ensue.
• 2:36
  Those are some nice shades you got on, Eric.
• 2:38
  Yeah, baby.
• 2:38
  It's all 80s all the time.
• 2:43
  Got the collar freshly popped.
• 2:44
  I am so happy to be back with you guys, and we have Mountain Man Dan with us,
• 2:49
  and we have Tanya from the drive thru, and we're gonna be talking about Against
• 2:52
  All Odds, a movie that you guys hadn't seen, and I hadn't seen, I don't think
• 2:57
  anybody had seen, and we got sucked into this because of a car chase.
• 3:01
  So, what better way to talk about an 80s movie than through a car chase scene?
• 3:06
  Absolutely.
• 3:07
  Yeah!
• 3:09
  Where do we start?
• 3:10
  I mean, we gotta start with the people that brought us this movie, right?
• 3:14
  Who are they, Steve?
• 3:15
  Well, it was directed by Tyler Hackford.
• 3:17
  Who?
• 3:18
  You might know him from other movies he's directed, like Bukowski.
• 3:21
  Oh, no, not that one, uh, an officer and a gentleman.
• 3:25
  Oh, all right.
• 3:26
  This white nights.
• 3:29
  And then the music videos for this Phil Collins guy.
• 3:32
  We might be talking about later.
• 3:33
  Lionel Richie, a movie called everybody's all American bound by honor.
• 3:38
  All right.
• 3:38
  Then we start getting into stuff like.
• 3:40
  Dolores Claiborne.
• 3:42
  Who?
• 3:42
  Yeah.
• 3:43
  How about The Devil's Advocate, babe?
• 3:44
  You ever seen that movie?
• 3:46
  Where are you?
• 3:48
  Guys, you wanna see Keanu with a Floridian accent, quote unquote?
• 3:52
  That's the movie.
• 3:54
  Oh, baby!
• 3:54
  Oh, baby!
• 3:56
  I love the Dumpster Fire movie so much.
• 3:59
  You know what I love about this?
• 4:00
  This is such a gem of a movie.
• 4:02
  And it comes on the heels of Jeff Bridges doing Tron.
• 4:06
  If you look at the IMDB for this, there's not much in between.
• 4:09
  And immediately after this is Starman, where he basically plays Deadpan.
• 4:14
  Exactly.
• 4:16
  So he's really showing.
• 4:17
  His versatility as an actor in like a three year span.
• 4:21
  You're able to see the dude in all of his dude dom across these movies.
• 4:26
  Because let's face it, Jeff Bridges is just the dude.
• 4:29
  We'll get to that.
• 4:30
  Oh, totally.
• 4:32
  Talk about an all star cast in this movie, too.
• 4:35
  Yeah, you mentioned Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges.
• 4:39
  Academy Award.
• 4:40
  I think nominee at least, uh, James Woods.
• 4:43
  Oh.
• 4:44
  As Jake Wise or Weezer, I don't know how you're supposed to say his name.
• 4:47
  It's said a couple different ways in this movie.
• 4:49
  Weiss.
• 4:50
  I, I have said it many times on our podcast.
• 4:52
  James Woods is a dumpster fire of a human being.
• 4:56
  He is not a good man, but that translates so beautifully on film.
• 5:00
  He is a joy to watch.
• 5:02
  Quintessential villain.
• 5:04
  I mean, you just look at him, but that's a bad guy.
• 5:06
  Period.
• 5:06
  Yeah.
• 5:07
  Yeah, even in John Carpenter's Vampires.
• 5:09
  Oh, dude.
• 5:10
  Well, so John Carpenter's Vampires, John Carpenter wanted to make a
• 5:13
  vampire hunter who was as cruel and vicious as the things he killed.
• 5:17
  And I think it worked.
• 5:18
  If you want to see some peak James Woods, you have to watch The Specialist.
• 5:23
  He is at the peak of his game.
• 5:25
  And then we've got Rachel Ward.
• 5:27
  Who?
• 5:27
  Yeah.
• 5:29
  She's pretty.
• 5:31
  But we also have guys like.
• 5:33
  Alex Karras, who played Hank Sully, right?
• 5:36
  Isn't he the dad from Webster?
• 5:38
  I think so.
• 5:39
  I know he's in stuff in the 80s that I never watched,
• 5:42
  but that sounds about right.
• 5:43
  I've never seen Webster, so.
• 5:44
  You've got Saul Rubenek, who Tanya knows from Frasier as the husband of Daphne.
• 5:49
  No, they didn't get married.
• 5:51
  Thank you very much.
• 5:52
  She didn't marry Donny, she left him at the altar.
• 5:55
  That's right, that's right.
• 5:56
  For others, you may know Saul Rubenek as, I forget the name, the producer's
• 6:00
  name in True Romance, but he's that guy.
• 6:02
  Like Coke Dow, definitely not Joel Silver.
• 6:04
  You've got Swoozie Kurtz, and one of my personal favorites, Dorian Harewood.
• 6:08
  Does anybody know where he's from?
• 6:10
  Yes!
• 6:10
  We just saw him in a movie.
• 6:12
  Oh, yeah.
• 6:13
  Oh my god, no.
• 6:15
  I just had a brain fart.
• 6:16
  Where was he from?
• 6:17
  Was it a Cameron Mitchell movie?
• 6:18
  Well, he was in Viper.
• 6:19
  As Tanya said, I know him best from the Viper TV series.
• 6:23
  He played the technician in the wheelchair who built the morphing
• 6:27
  multi vehicle Viper that was basically a replacement for Knight Rider.
• 6:31
  That's what you bring up.
• 6:32
  Not like, first thing that comes up on his IMDb is full metal
• 6:34
  jacket, Space Jam, Sudden Death.
• 6:37
  He's the guy, yeah, yeah.
• 6:39
  Sudden Death is Jean Claude Van Damme.
• 6:41
  Dare I say classic?
• 6:43
  Oh, it's a classic.
• 6:44
  Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme is instantly a classic.
• 6:48
  And, and Eric, I wanted to bring this up.
• 6:49
  One of my favorite actors is in this movie too, an actor named Ted White.
• 6:53
  Who's he, Steve?
• 6:54
  You might know him as security guard with dog in this movie.
• 6:59
  He's a stuntman and over 80 things starting with, he
• 7:02
  was gunslinger in cat blue.
• 7:04
  Assassin in Man From U.
• 7:06
  N.
• 7:06
  C.
• 7:06
  L.
• 7:06
  E.
• 7:06
  Trooper in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, who I'm surprised we haven't
• 7:10
  talked about on this show yet.
• 7:11
  He was Hugo Maltz in an episode of Kulchak.
• 7:14
  He was Nazi and Fence in two separate episodes of The Rockford Files.
• 7:18
  He was Frankie in Demonoid.
• 7:20
  It's about a devil hand, check it out.
• 7:22
  Goon number one in Going Ape, the timeless Danny DeVito, Tony
• 7:26
  Danza movie everyone loves.
• 7:28
  Have we done that for April yet?
• 7:29
  No, we have not.
• 7:30
  Coming soon.
• 7:32
  Guard number three in Tron.
• 7:34
  This, Grogan in Romancing the Stone, Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th,
• 7:41
  The Final Chapter, I think that's the fourth one of twelve or so they've made.
• 7:45
  He was the deer hunter in Starmen, another Jeff Bridges one, a couple episodes
• 7:51
  of The Fall Guy, henchman in Magnum P.
• 7:53
  I., attendant in X Files, and trooper in, uh, Double take.
• 7:59
  Yes, the Orlando Jones, Eddie Griffin movie everybody has on Blu ray.
• 8:02
  And normally we would save all of this cast and credit information for the
• 8:06
  bottom of and everything I learned from movies and break, fix, crossover episode.
• 8:11
  But in this case, we need to set the stage.
• 8:13
  We need to get people understand the star studded cast, the amount
• 8:17
  of money that was thrown at this movie and how much potential it has.
• 8:22
  That's right.
• 8:23
  We just need an excuse for why the sky is so dark because all
• 8:26
  of the stars are in this movie.
• 8:29
  Before we dive into it, what are you guys drinking tonight?
• 8:31
  Oh my!
• 8:32
  Babe, you want to take this one?
• 8:33
  Well, we have from Sierra Nevada Brewing, Traditional Pale Ale, draft
• 8:38
  style, 5 percent alcohol by volume.
• 8:40
  Steve's going to pop his top.
• 8:42
  Oh, my top!
• 8:43
  And Oh, my top!
• 8:45
  Hey!
• 8:45
  Yeah, guys, Sierra Nevada, we love it.
• 8:48
  And if you've never been to the brewery, at least the one in Chico,
• 8:51
  is Willy Wonka and the Beer Factory.
• 8:52
  It's one of the most fun beer tours you will ever do.
• 8:55
  Oh, Bye.
• 8:55
  How about you guys?
• 8:56
  What are y'all drinking?
• 8:57
  I haven't popped my top yet, but you've noticed that I've the colors.
• 9:01
  And I'm wearing my Jones polarized, big aviator sunglasses.
• 9:07
  I'm wearing my Ferrari polo shirt.
• 9:10
  I've got my nine 11 cabriolet behind me here.
• 9:13
  Never forget.
• 9:14
  I'm trying to immerse myself in the world of against all odds.
• 9:17
  And just like this movie, I went on a wild goose chase looking for tab.
• 9:23
  And I settled instead.
• 9:24
  On San Pellegrino.
• 9:27
  Ooooo!
• 9:29
  This movie screams white people doing white people things.
• 9:32
  Set in LA, in the hills of Malibu, and Santa Monica.
• 9:37
  And it just goes from there.
• 9:39
  There's not enough Yacht Rock.
• 9:40
  I agree.
• 9:43
  The one thing you're saying, Eric, when it came to the cast, I'd be curious
• 9:46
  to know the budget because like the movies from 1984, actors weren't paid
• 9:50
  near as much then as they are now.
• 9:51
  I don't imagine.
• 9:52
  So couldn't have been that people cost for this movie.
• 9:56
  I'm a big Jeff Bridges fan, like people know Tron is like one of
• 10:00
  my top five movies of all time.
• 10:02
  But it doesn't even have cars.
• 10:04
  It's got motorcycles though.
• 10:05
  Yeah, it's got the little light cycles.
• 10:06
  They're light cycles, yeah.
• 10:08
  It's a close tie between 89 Batman with Michael Keaton and Tron.
• 10:11
  I mean, they're like fighting for first, right?
• 10:13
  I can see that.
• 10:14
  Jeff Bridges in this movie is 35 years old.
• 10:16
  He's been acting literally since he was in diapers in 1949.
• 10:20
  And so he's probably the most overpaid person on this movie, but he didn't
• 10:25
  really gain his popularity until the 80s.
• 10:27
  And obviously he became a superstar with the big Lebowski and he's kind of
• 10:31
  stamped himself in eternity that way.
• 10:33
  Wait, was that the one that made him a superstar?
• 10:36
  I think culturally a superstar, like he's a pop icon, right?
• 10:40
  He's that pop culture reference after the big Lebowski, like
• 10:43
  everybody knows him for that.
• 10:44
  Despite everything he did up until that point, he had an entire career
• 10:48
  when Rachel Ward was still trying to get off the blocks with hers, right?
• 10:52
  And so the dynamic of people in this movie is really interesting.
• 10:56
  And there is a hidden gem here, which we'll talk about in the, what
• 10:59
  did we learn part of this episode that I discovered along the way.
• 11:04
  But I think we need to really peel back the onion here and talk about
• 11:08
  what could have been a really, really good movie and what we ended up with.
• 11:13
  Nice.
• 11:13
  Well, I, I guess before that mountain man, Dan, not to be confused with
• 11:16
  mountain Mike, which I've been calling you the past couple of times.
• 11:18
  Um, what do you think the budget for this movie was?
• 11:22
  I can't imagine it was too much.
• 11:24
  Any guesses out there?
• 11:25
  125, 000, 25, 000 dollars, right?
• 11:30
  I'm going to guess this is like a, Multi million dollar movie.
• 11:34
  More than 2 million, I'll give you that.
• 11:37
  No, it's uh, 13 million.
• 11:38
  Even like with inflation stuff, kind of a mid range, probably be like a
• 11:42
  Netflix movie nowadays, you know?
• 11:44
  Well, let's face it, that Porsche and that Ferrari were new at that
• 11:48
  time and they were not cheap.
• 11:50
  Yeah.
• 11:50
  So there went most of the budget.
• 11:51
  There you go.
• 11:52
  And that was a new 308.
• 11:53
  That wasn't some borrowed leftover for Magnum PI either.
• 11:57
  That was a 308 QV that came out in 84, 85 time range.
• 12:01
  That's like the end of the line for that car.
• 12:03
  So they spent a pretty penny.
• 12:05
  I think those things were going in 1980s dollars in the high thirties,
• 12:09
  low 40, 000 for one of those.
• 12:11
  And then all the stunts that they probably needed paid for.
• 12:14
  13 of them to get through the chase scene, which again, we'll
• 12:16
  talk about as we go along.
• 12:17
  So I can see it racking up a pretty penny.
• 12:20
  Still for 1984, that's a lot of money.
• 12:22
  It's a quality film.
• 12:23
  And Steve and Izzy are going to take us through it.
• 12:26
  Oh, are we?
• 12:26
  Oh, okay.
• 12:26
  Oh, are we?
• 12:27
  Oh, it's all right.
• 12:29
  All right.
• 12:29
  Get ready for us to do a tap takeover.
• 12:33
  All right, guys.
• 12:34
  We'll, we'll start off.
• 12:35
  In Cozumel.
• 12:37
  Cozumel, Mexico, baby.
• 12:38
  We get a nice little POV shot of basically Jeff Bridges doing his best
• 12:42
  T 1000 like, Have you seen this woman?
• 12:44
  Have you seen this woman?
• 12:46
  Dónde está this woman?
• 12:48
  The only Spanish he had to learn, which we heard 50 times.
• 12:51
  I visto este mujer.
• 12:52
  I viste este mujer.
• 12:54
  My wife was making fun.
• 12:56
  Like, is that all he knows how to say in Spanish?
• 12:58
  Yes, that is all he knows how to say.
• 12:59
  He practiced it for a week.
• 13:00
  Nailed it.
• 13:01
  Hashtag nailed it.
• 13:02
  For the car people, did anybody figure out what he was driving in that opening
• 13:06
  scene before they showed it later?
• 13:08
  Well, I thought it was a Porsche.
• 13:09
  Like, you can kind of tell.
• 13:10
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 13:11
  This was the, I think it was a thing.
• 13:13
  Yes!
• 13:13
  Oh, yeah, yeah, the Volkswagen thing.
• 13:15
  Yeah, yeah.
• 13:15
  Yeah, that's right.
• 13:16
  Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 13:17
  The thing that set the tone for me automatically is when he's sitting there
• 13:20
  at the table in a diner or whatever and he's like asleep and they have to
• 13:23
  come up and like wake him up and he's like, oh, and he kind of wakes up.
• 13:25
  I'm like, that should have been the foresight for me right
• 13:27
  there to just stop watching.
• 13:29
  Yeah, he basically fell asleep waiting for his meal to be brought and I'm like, oh,
• 13:33
  it's to show he's been exhausted by saying the same line over and over again all day.
• 13:37
  They're like, uh, Mr.
• 13:38
  Bridges, we're ready to shoot.
• 13:39
  Uh, uh, oh, yes, thank you for the lobster and whatever's here on the plate.
• 13:47
  Forget that, because we're going to cut immediately to football practice.
• 13:49
  Like, immediately.
• 13:51
  I'm like, oh, did I hit skip?
• 13:53
  Nope, we're just there.
• 13:54
  It took a sudden turn that I was not expecting.
• 13:56
  Here we are, training day, on a no name football team, which I think
• 14:01
  is supposed to be the Raiders.
• 14:03
  Yeah, the LA Outlaws, but it's the eighties and make up the teams.
• 14:07
  Otherwise you got to pay the NFL 25.
• 14:10
  And you know, you can't, you don't want to do that.
• 14:11
  Not, not on this tight budget and yeah, he's, you know, a
• 14:14
  35 year old wide receiver.
• 14:16
  We know there's what dozens of them in the NFL now is Larry
• 14:21
  Fitzgerald still receiving.
• 14:23
  But yeah, the, uh, the new coach, I guess, that's come in.
• 14:26
  He's like, I don't like you, you and your Steve Largent with a beard attitude.
• 14:31
  You say you got a good shoulder.
• 14:32
  Let's find out by having you just ram it into this thing.
• 14:36
  That's not how you use that sled, by the way.
• 14:38
  Like, I don't know how you guys played football in high school.
• 14:41
  You don't just randomly jam body parts into it.
• 14:44
  Like you're trying to break it.
• 14:47
  You're trying to pop your shoulder back into place and it's lethal weapon.
• 14:50
  Yeah.
• 14:50
  Like, unreal.
• 14:52
  Well, especially if he's also like, I'm going to do it just
• 14:54
  out of spite or whatever.
• 14:55
  Like you're going to cripple yourself out of spite for the coach.
• 14:59
  And this is why NFL players make sure they get their guaranteed money now.
• 15:03
  That hurt just watching it.
• 15:05
  I don't know who the stunt guy was or if Jeff was doing that, but every time
• 15:09
  he lunged into that thing, Oh man, my shoulder hurt just thinking about it.
• 15:13
  When I played football in the nineties, the padding wasn't that great on it.
• 15:16
  Then you could feel that metal bar hitting on your shoulder.
• 15:18
  So.
• 15:19
  Back in the eighties, I'm sure the padding was even worse.
• 15:21
  It's like filled with ball bearings or something.
• 15:25
  No, why are there shorts in here?
• 15:27
  Now, based on that opening scene with him and Cozumel and his limited Spanish,
• 15:32
  I was expecting him to turn around to the coach and be like, yo soy Fiesta.
• 15:40
  Have you seen this woman?
• 15:41
  What?
• 15:42
  No.
• 15:43
  Wait, I think that's the owner's daughter.
• 15:44
  We'll find out later.
• 15:45
  Anyway, so yeah, so he gets, like, cut by the coach right there, like, Oh,
• 15:49
  cool, you broke your shoulder again.
• 15:51
  Good luck.
• 15:52
  You're out.
• 15:53
  Like, oh, I gotta call my agent, Steve Kirsch, or whatever.
• 15:55
  Saul Rubenek.
• 15:56
  Discount Elliot Gould.
• 16:00
  Can you be a discount Elliot Gould when you're already starting
• 16:02
  off with Elliot Gould, though?
• 16:04
  I'm sorry, babe, you mean the star of The Devil and Max Devlin.
• 16:09
  And what was the one where James Bond played a Nazi?
• 16:12
  Oh, escaped from Athena or something like that.
• 16:15
  Where our romantic lead was Elliot Gould.
• 16:18
  Yeah, the seventies had a lot of coke too.
• 16:20
  Never forget.
• 16:22
  And Roger Moore was a Nazi.
• 16:24
  Get that dropped.
• 16:25
  Yeah.
• 16:27
  He drives off in his Porsche.
• 16:28
  What was it?
• 16:29
  911, 2.
• 16:30
  0.
• 16:31
  It was an 84 911 SC Cabriolet.
• 16:35
  And in that parking lot shot, when you see it the first time,
• 16:38
  I was like, Ooh, this is cool.
• 16:39
  It was kind of funny to see the other Porsches in the parking lot.
• 16:42
  I'm sure Dan and Tanya probably picked up on it.
• 16:44
  To the left of the car was a 924 and to the right was a 928.
• 16:48
  And I was like, Oh, this is a Porsche get together here.
• 16:50
  It's like a club meeting.
• 16:51
  I always love these old movies because there are cars placed here
• 16:54
  and there and I play that game of like, what's that quarter panel from?
• 16:58
  And if I can figure it out from just even a taillight or something, then
• 17:01
  it makes it kind of fun and makes, you know, I've, I've spotted all sorts of
• 17:04
  weird cars in old movies like that.
• 17:05
  So that's the end of my nerd out on that stuff.
• 17:07
  Lots of Porsches in this movie.
• 17:09
  So there goes the budget again.
• 17:10
  I got the same thing with like the, uh, nude body doubles in eighties movies.
• 17:14
  And I'm like, wait a minute.
• 17:15
  I know those nipples.
• 17:18
  So he's trying to get a hold of his agent and the agent's like, whatever,
• 17:21
  pass him on to Hal Shoemaker, who we'll never see in this movie, unfortunately.
• 17:24
  I assume he's going to be played by like, I don't know, John Goodman or something.
• 17:29
  But yeah, basically, uh, shows up, meets the secretary E.
• 17:32
  D.
• 17:32
  and, you know, eventually talks to his lawyer.
• 17:35
  Or agent or whatever he's supposed to be.
• 17:37
  Uh, and he's like, look, you know, I can't represent players anymore
• 17:39
  because I represent ownership.
• 17:41
  Yeah.
• 17:42
  And Jeff's like, Oh, you're not allowed to do that.
• 17:44
  Discount Elliot Gold's like, well, I mean, I do what I want.
• 17:46
  You can try fighting it, but like, good luck with that.
• 17:49
  Jeff is escorted out by the secretary who drops way too much
• 17:53
  information about a private meeting.
• 17:55
  EDX position, I believe was her full name.
• 17:58
  And then she's also like, Hey, so if you ever looking to hang out
• 18:02
  or whatever, I'm at the ginger man bar or whatever down the street.
• 18:05
  I'm there just about every night.
• 18:07
  I'm like, well, that's definitely not going to come back later in the movie.
• 18:10
  And when it does, what it's like six months later.
• 18:12
  Yeah, totally.
• 18:14
  Like, Oh, Edie can't find a man in six months.
• 18:16
  Come on.
• 18:17
  Seems so sweet.
• 18:18
  It reeked of desperation, which was a cologne by I think Pierre Cardin or
• 18:23
  Armani back in the 80s too, but that whole scene was just pretty terrible,
• 18:27
  but I stopped at that moment as we reach back into our catalog, you know how
• 18:31
  you guys reach back into other movies.
• 18:33
  There's an episode we did with Ginger Man Raceway, and they tell
• 18:37
  the story about the Ginger Man bar.
• 18:40
  And so I had to stop for a second because I was really confused.
• 18:42
  We're in California, we're talking about meeting at the Ginger Man bar, and I'm
• 18:46
  like, wait, let me cross references.
• 18:47
  And there's only two.
• 18:49
  In the United States, official ginger man bars, Chicago and New York.
• 18:52
  And the one we are referencing to is in Chicago because the guy that owned
• 18:56
  that actually created the racetrack.
• 18:58
  So I thought for a second, I was like, wow, that's a fun little tie,
• 19:01
  a little piece of trivia, a little nugget there for the gear heads.
• 19:04
  No, no, no, no.
• 19:05
  It's a fictitious ginger man in Los Angeles.
• 19:08
  Did they not even have one back in the 80s?
• 19:10
  Or I don't know.
• 19:11
  It's like there were like 12 back in the 80s, but now there's only two.
• 19:14
  I don't know.
• 19:15
  Like Hard Rocks.
• 19:15
  Yes.
• 19:16
  This movie spiraled lots of research.
• 19:18
  I'm not going to kid you.
• 19:19
  So I had to stop at this moment and go look things up.
• 19:22
  The ginger man itself is actually a book, which is where these
• 19:25
  bars get their inspiration from.
• 19:26
  There's, you know, not to get into all that.
• 19:28
  I would be interested to find out if the writers of the movie
• 19:31
  purposely named it the ginger man.
• 19:32
  Yeah.
• 19:33
  As like sort of shout out to either of those bars or the book itself.
• 19:37
  Again, there's these little nuggets where I got to go back and do some
• 19:40
  research, you know, do some investigating.
• 19:42
  But there wasn't one in LA confirmed original New York and Chicago.
• 19:47
  Okay.
• 19:47
  East coast thing.
• 19:48
  Yeah.
• 19:49
  I mean, if we consider Chicago east coast.
• 19:51
  It's east from here, so I'll allow it.
• 19:53
  So here's the thing.
• 19:54
  Like, so when I lived in Detroit, everybody was like, Oh, that's Midwest.
• 19:57
  And I was like, but you guys all consider Chicago East coast.
• 20:00
  And that is six hours West of here.
• 20:03
  How come she's not getting a hard time saying Illinois East coast.
• 20:08
  Oh, people will say Chicago's East coast.
• 20:09
  And it's like, no, I'm sorry.
• 20:11
  Detroit in Michigan is at least on East coast time.
• 20:14
  What Tanya is referring to is the beaches of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania
• 20:20
  is closer to the actual coastline.
• 20:22
  And I didn't mean that it's on the coastline much like she's doing.
• 20:26
  She's insinuating.
• 20:27
  It's part of the Eastern side of the U S Hey, it's East of the Mississippi.
• 20:31
  That's East coast.
• 20:32
  It's not a fly over state to fly through state.
• 20:36
  Trust me.
• 20:37
  You don't want to have to change in Midway or O'Hare.
• 20:39
  Oh God.
• 20:40
  Midway.
• 20:41
  So now we cut away after smelling all that desperation.
• 20:44
  And then we get a new scent.
• 20:46
  This one is Perspiration by Jeff Bridges as he's running laps.
• 20:49
  And look, Jeff Bridges is a handsome man, especially with the beard.
• 20:55
  Like, I mean, I'm used to him being clean cut, like in Tron
• 20:58
  and Starman and stuff like that.
• 20:59
  With the beard, I'm like, all right, I get it.
• 21:01
  I get it.
• 21:02
  Now the hair slicked back.
• 21:04
  Never really seen him as like sex icon Jeff Bridges.
• 21:07
  What the Big Lebowski didn't do it for you.
• 21:08
  That was just like looking in a mirror.
• 21:10
  So obviously raw sex, but I just want to put this out there.
• 21:14
  Steve did not win the Big Lebowski lookalike contest at our local Big
• 21:20
  Lebowski fest, and I did not win the Walter lookalike contest to be fair.
• 21:23
  The guy that.
• 21:25
  One for Walter, who's like nine years in a row because he basically is John Goodman.
• 21:30
  Yeah, John Goodman the third or something.
• 21:33
  John Goodman would lose that.
• 21:35
  I was glad the Chihuahua came up like third.
• 21:37
  They dressed the Chihuahua up in the dude's sweater
• 21:40
  and it won like third place.
• 21:42
  Sorry, we have Big Lebowski Festival here in town.
• 21:44
  They've been doing it for like 15 years or something?
• 21:47
  Yeah, 10, 12.
• 21:48
  Yeah, maybe 15.
• 21:49
  I don't know.
• 21:49
  A while.
• 21:50
  Yeah, check it out, Ogden, Utah.
• 21:51
  Uh, what happens?
• 21:53
  Oh yeah, so his buddy, uh, Dorian Harewood, Tommy, he comes and he's
• 21:57
  basically like, Hey, heard you got cut.
• 21:59
  That sucks, bro.
• 22:00
  You know, Jake may have a job for you.
• 22:02
  Who's Jake?
• 22:03
  Good old James Woods.
• 22:05
  James Woods, who they also casually mentioned.
• 22:07
  Yeah, he got stabbed like last week.
• 22:09
  That was a good time to talk to him and not get involved in a bunch of bullshit.
• 22:12
  I'm like, Actually, it's quite the opposite.
• 22:14
  Like, he just got stabbed.
• 22:16
  He's probably up to his neck in bullshit right now.
• 22:18
  Oh, a baby faced James Woods.
• 22:21
  Oh yeah, he was young there.
• 22:23
  Is he not baby faced anymore?
• 22:24
  Oh no, no, honey.
• 22:26
  Have the ravages of time finally caught up with James Woods?
• 22:28
  He looks like Hades now from Hercules.
• 22:31
  He does.
• 22:32
  Oh, shit.
• 22:32
  Well, he sort of looks like if He looks like Mr.
• 22:34
  Roper.
• 22:35
  Sure!
• 22:35
  Fact!
• 22:38
  The first picture when you Google James Wood, and he comes
• 22:42
  up, the left hand picture, Mr.
• 22:44
  Frickin Roper.
• 22:45
  Norman fell.
• 22:46
  Yeah, so the next morning we're at the beach.
• 22:48
  We see James Wood's trying to get the attention of his dog, Sam.
• 22:51
  He's like, come here, buddy!
• 22:52
  The dog, I swear, was gonna run right through the middle of this
• 22:55
  volleyball match they're watching.
• 22:56
  It's the whole, like, thing, that, like, yeah, the dog was getting
• 22:58
  involved, was, like, biting at the ball.
• 23:00
  And then we find out he's involved with the gambling, and I'm like, has he trained
• 23:03
  that dog to interfere with matches?
• 23:05
  Because I could totally see that being a plot point later.
• 23:07
  Yeah, basically like, Oh, so I heard you might have a job.
• 23:10
  I just want you to know I'm not working for you.
• 23:12
  James was like, Hey, whatever.
• 23:13
  None.
• 23:13
  I'm your buddy.
• 23:14
  Remember?
• 23:14
  I'm just doing this gambling thing.
• 23:16
  Hey, just check out my new car.
• 23:17
  Want to race?
• 23:18
  I just bought this.
• 23:19
  Looks like you've got a brand new car, right?
• 23:20
  Beautiful black Ferrari too.
• 23:23
  Eric, I think you need to take this next part away where
• 23:25
  we're talking about the race.
• 23:26
  Because I mean, if your two best since monitor isn't going off too
• 23:30
  much, I explained to Eric after watching his first time, I was
• 23:32
  like, dude, why didn't you just send me like the clip of this portion?
• 23:35
  Or about the watch is like, All I saw in this movie worth watching.
• 23:38
  Yeah, it was all in the trailer, too.
• 23:40
  That was the thing.
• 23:41
  It is.
• 23:41
  It's a lot of the trailer.
• 23:42
  And unfortunately, the car chase scene, unlike a lot of movies of the era, is in
• 23:46
  the first, like, 15 minutes of the movie.
• 23:48
  And you're like, I got an hour and 45 left to go.
• 23:51
  Like, what are we going to do now?
• 23:53
  I was hoping it was setting us up.
• 23:56
  Like, my loins were frothed for more of this the whole movie.
• 24:00
  I have to say, from a cinematic perspective, it was a Good chase scene.
• 24:06
  It was reminiscent of some of the seventies chase scenes.
• 24:09
  The stunts were good.
• 24:11
  There were a couple of cringe moments where James Woods, especially in the
• 24:13
  Ferrari kind of pulls out against traffic.
• 24:15
  And you're like, is he going to make it?
• 24:17
  I was like, Oh, that's close.
• 24:19
  Like even the stunt guy was probably having a code Brown moment.
• 24:23
  Doing these stunts because they were really really close and they were
• 24:26
  really really tight What I also like and you guys have heard me complain
• 24:29
  about before about using cars and films and chase scenes Is the audio
• 24:34
  portion of it and what was great about this was the audio was the 911 And the
• 24:40
  Ferrari, they were legit, never forget.
• 24:43
  So that was nice because it's not like, Oh, it's a Mustang, you know?
• 24:46
  And you're like, uh, you know, that's gross.
• 24:48
  Like some of the stuff you did on Miami vice.
• 24:50
  But in this case, it all went together.
• 24:52
  It gelled the two stunt drivers did a really good job.
• 24:55
  They came really close.
• 24:56
  They were like door to door a lot of the time.
• 24:59
  And it was very well done.
• 25:01
  I'm not sure what road they were on, but it looked like they were actually on some
• 25:06
  of those LA close to the Canyon roads.
• 25:08
  Not like a Mulholland, but almost going down into the valley.
• 25:11
  And it was like, they closed the road to do this.
• 25:13
  And this was very well, or did they?
• 25:15
  Yeah, that was my thing.
• 25:16
  I'm like, I hope those are stunt drivers coming the other way.
• 25:19
  Cause otherwise they might get hit then shot.
• 25:23
  And it was just long enough where some car chasings now are too short or it's like.
• 25:29
  Fast and the furious where it takes 10 minutes to drive an Alfa Romeo on
• 25:32
  an airplane, you know, kind of deal.
• 25:33
  Yeah.
• 25:33
  A 17 mile runway.
• 25:35
  It makes no sense.
• 25:36
  So in this case, it's like they didn't use the same piece
• 25:38
  of road over and over again.
• 25:40
  It kept going.
• 25:41
  It was a couple minutes long.
• 25:42
  I love how they were sort of shouting at each other that antagonism,
• 25:46
  like, Hey, screw you buddy, but we're going to send it, you know?
• 25:49
  So it was fun.
• 25:50
  It was playful.
• 25:50
  And I was like, cool.
• 25:51
  This is an interesting, again, a twist, like the fourth one in 15 minutes.
• 25:55
  Cause we went from Cozumel to Cozumel.
• 25:57
  To football camp, to the lawyer, to this car chase.
• 26:00
  And I'm like, this movie is really sporadic, but this could be a lot of fun.
• 26:03
  And so like Izzy, I'm like, I'm all fired up.
• 26:06
  I'm like, I'm here for all of this.
• 26:09
  How have I not heard about this movie?
• 26:11
  Some movies like they'll have, you know, a character or something that
• 26:14
  kind of disappears for a portion of it.
• 26:16
  Well, in this one, you know, James Wood at the beach had the dog.
• 26:18
  Well, the dog is his passenger Ferrari the whole time during this race.
• 26:21
  And you can see the dog various points in the car throughout the chasing.
• 26:25
  So I like that fact that they didn't just take the dog out of the picture.
• 26:28
  And the dog could give zero shits about what they're doing to the dog.
• 26:31
  It's just like, yeah, this is a Tuesday.
• 26:33
  I don't even have a seatbelt on like whatever, dude.
• 26:36
  By the way, I do just want to say it is totally cruel to have a Samoyed,
• 26:41
  an Alaskan sled dog in Los Angeles.
• 26:44
  Although this is a gorgeous dog.
• 26:46
  Really well trained dog.
• 26:47
  Really good looking dog.
• 26:48
  And to Dan's point, the continuity.
• 26:51
  I like that as well.
• 26:52
  Like a lot of these movies, it's like, well, that was a jump cut.
• 26:55
  Uh, we'll go back and do that over again.
• 26:57
  So all of that, this car chase is so good.
• 27:01
  And then he comes around the corner and there's a parked garbage truck
• 27:05
  and he goes from doing probably like 60, 70, whatever they're flying around
• 27:09
  the corner in and he's just like, and he stops in like two car lengths.
• 27:13
  Yeah, then he like puts it in park, puts on the hazard
• 27:15
  lights, like he's done, I guess.
• 27:18
  And it's like, there's no other cars.
• 27:19
  You could just like go in the other lane right behind James Woods.
• 27:22
  That was like one of the few times there was nobody else on the road.
• 27:25
  I think it was the only time the lanes were clear.
• 27:27
  That shows the incredible stopping capability of the Porsche 911.
• 27:30
  But additionally, signals they didn't have the budget to wreck it.
• 27:36
  It goes from 120 to zero in two seconds.
• 27:39
  But the other way around it's like two minutes because
• 27:41
  you got to like wind it up.
• 27:42
  I guess, uh, you know It will not pass a bus or a garbage
• 27:46
  truck a railroad crossing.
• 27:48
  It's actually jeff's 911 It's his daily driver.
• 27:51
  Like he's like no we're not doing this I just got a call from the
• 27:53
  team, you can afford another.
• 27:56
  Did somebody yell cut?
• 27:58
  So we get to like James Woods bar that I guess is like under construction.
• 28:01
  Uh, call it the palace.
• 28:02
  Basically like, yeah, yeah, it's gonna be my new, uh, my new legit thing.
• 28:05
  You know, uh, getting out of the gambling.
• 28:07
  And he's like, no, you're not, whatever.
• 28:08
  I can offer you a job.
• 28:10
  You know, if you want, you can be a celebrity, you know, bartender here
• 28:13
  and, or be security or whatever.
• 28:14
  And I'm like, You know, celebrity bartender's not that bad, Jeff.
• 28:16
  Right?
• 28:17
  Maybe, maybe that's the gig that ends up paying more, and you don't have
• 28:20
  to do shady shit for James Woods.
• 28:22
  Just throwing that out there.
• 28:24
  I mean Even security, it's like, let's be real, it's gonna be a cakewalk.
• 28:29
  But then instead, he's like, Alright, well, I got a real job for you, here.
• 28:32
  Find this chick.
• 28:33
  She stole 50k from me.
• 28:34
  And like, who is it?
• 28:36
  Oh, it's uh, the owner of the LA Outlaws daughter.
• 28:39
  I've been banging her for the past year or whatever, and she stole some money
• 28:42
  from me and can't seem to find her.
• 28:43
  Oh wait, and she's the one who stabbed me in the leg.
• 28:46
  Yeah, that's true.
• 28:47
  And I'm like, ah, it's all coming together.
• 28:50
  And she also owns the dog, we find out later.
• 28:52
  Oh, he is her dog.
• 28:53
  That's right.
• 28:55
  Sam the dog, yeah.
• 28:56
  And then apparently, James Woods has some dirt on Jeff Bridges,
• 29:00
  like some blackmail stuff that we never come to find out, or do we?
• 29:03
  Yeah, we do.
• 29:04
  We do.
• 29:05
  Yeah, what was it?
• 29:06
  It's that he told Oh, the point shaving thing, yeah, that's right.
• 29:09
  Yeah, that he threw the game, was gonna throw the game.
• 29:12
  He did throw the game, I think.
• 29:14
  We'll get to that when we get to that, because I had some
• 29:16
  questions about that too.
• 29:18
  Basically, Jeff Bridges is like, Okay, cool, I'll, uh, take your
• 29:20
  money and I'll find this chick.
• 29:22
  And he's like all indignant and stuff about it.
• 29:23
  I'm like, this isn't how you get one up on James Woods.
• 29:25
  This is just, you casually take the money and then, I don't
• 29:28
  know, disappear if you want.
• 29:30
  He goes to see the owner of the LA Outlaws, you know, the parents,
• 29:33
  basically, the mom and the stepdad.
• 29:35
  And he's basically like, Hey, so, uh, remember running to your
• 29:38
  daughter a couple months ago?
• 29:39
  Any idea where she's at?
• 29:41
  Might be hanging out.
• 29:42
  And the owner is instantly like, Jake sent you, didn't he?
• 29:44
  I'm not buying this bullshit.
• 29:46
  You can't bullshit a bullshitter.
• 29:47
  I don't football team.
• 29:48
  And then she's basically like, you know, I'll pay you double if you can find her
• 29:51
  or just take care of Jake, keep them busy so that, you know, she can live her life.
• 29:55
  Or she says something like watch over her for us or something like that.
• 29:58
  And I'm like, Jeff, consider the options, man.
• 30:01
  Like, right.
• 30:02
  But of course, he's all digging like, I'm not a spy, man.
• 30:05
  You kind of are, like, that's the whole point of what you're doing.
• 30:08
  And then he's like, actually, I'm just here to get, like, my old job back.
• 30:11
  Can't just fire me because I have a broken arm?
• 30:13
  Yeah, I'm like, you know, a receiver.
• 30:16
  I just want to play football, man.
• 30:17
  I thought generic white guy, stepdad, football owner team could also
• 30:21
  have been played by Ted Knight.
• 30:22
  The casting call for this movie, we already had these all stars.
• 30:25
  When can we bring him in for this?
• 30:27
  Ah, the budget.
• 30:28
  That's what it was.
• 30:28
  Yes.
• 30:29
  Hey, maybe he was busy doing a murder.
• 30:30
  She wrote or something.
• 30:31
  I don't know, man.
• 30:34
  There's some party for like, they're opening up some Canyon preserve, or I
• 30:38
  don't know exactly what was going on here.
• 30:40
  It has a nice view of LA.
• 30:41
  That's all that matters.
• 30:42
  And so they're at this.
• 30:44
  Party where they're like fundraiser and some environmentalist crash and
• 30:48
  we get oh politics are involved.
• 30:49
  Of course they are It's la with rich whites.
• 30:51
  We get it blah blah blah who cares move on So this was some ivory tower
• 30:55
  stuff going on here as we come to discover later Like there was a quote
• 30:59
  that I wrote At one point where they were saying, you know, we've come
• 31:02
  up here to leave the city behind us.
• 31:04
  Yeah, they're building these mansions looking down on all
• 31:08
  the plebeians in the city.
• 31:09
  Right.
• 31:10
  And I was like, what is this?
• 31:12
  I mean, this just reeks of Gordon Gecko all over the place.
• 31:15
  I was like, this is awful.
• 31:16
  Look, as someone who lives high up on a mountain, overlooking
• 31:19
  the poor, as I understand.
• 31:23
  So what happens for me?
• 31:24
  Yeah, so yeah, there's like a whole thing where he like confronts his
• 31:26
  uh, lawyer again, uh, Saul Rubenek and like tosses him into the band.
• 31:30
  He's like, Oh, you, you screwed me, man.
• 31:32
  You're screwing me, blah, blah, blah.
• 31:34
  Like, yeah, that's what lawyers do.
• 31:36
  So then he's off to Cozumel.
• 31:38
  I visto esta mujer, I visto esta mujer, here we go again.
• 31:44
  The best part about this little montage of him asking that question is there's
• 31:49
  one point where he's like, he looks at the picture of, you know, Rachel Ward, like
• 31:54
  smiling at the camera, blah, blah, blah.
• 31:56
  And then looks at a woman who's like suntanning.
• 32:00
  Are you identifying this woman based on her back to that picture?
• 32:04
  It was the dark curly hair.
• 32:07
  He saw the dark curly hair.
• 32:09
  Yeah, yeah, dark curly hair in Mexico.
• 32:11
  You're not gonna find that anywhere.
• 32:12
  What was the show where there was, like, the app that you could, like, photo the
• 32:16
  back of anybody's head and it would tell you what the front of it looks like?
• 32:19
  Wasn't that, like, on 30 Rock?
• 32:20
  I know the app that turns Dan into a woman.
• 32:22
  I've seen that one.
• 32:23
  It's pretty good.
• 32:24
  Go on.
• 32:26
  No, but to your point, I busted out laughing at this part because
• 32:30
  she's barking at him in Spanish.
• 32:32
  Again, this is another point in the movie where I'm entertained.
• 32:35
  I'm like, I wasn't expecting a twist, right?
• 32:37
  It's like M.
• 32:38
  Night Shyamalan.
• 32:38
  And then I'm like, wait, I got to translate what she's yelling.
• 32:41
  They let that go for a while.
• 32:43
  And I'm like, it just became.
• 32:44
  Too fast and I was like, whatever.
• 32:45
  I mean, basically you're like, you're a pervert.
• 32:47
  Get out of here.
• 32:47
  You know, what are you doing?
• 32:49
  I'm like, okay.
• 32:49
  Well, you didn't need to overreact like that.
• 32:51
  I thought that was funny.
• 32:52
  It was a little bit of levity.
• 32:53
  And then he peels off on a mohawk head after that.
• 32:55
  I'm like, wait, where's that thing from earlier?
• 32:58
  Ah, it doesn't matter.
• 32:58
  Maybe someone else is running it now.
• 33:00
  Couple scenes where he's like getting a call from Jake and he's like, hello?
• 33:03
  Oh yeah.
• 33:04
  I haven't found her yet.
• 33:05
  Well, I wasn't expecting to find her in the yellow pages or anything.
• 33:08
  Okay, let me ask you a question about this.
• 33:10
  Okay.
• 33:11
  Who answers their phone, sweaty, with their shirt open, glistening, and then,
• 33:16
  did you notice the background music?
• 33:18
  No.
• 33:19
  It was the acoustic version.
• 33:20
  To Phil Collins's Against All Odds, right?
• 33:24
  The name of the title of the movie itself.
• 33:27
  Take a look at me now.
• 33:28
  Exactly.
• 33:29
  It has two titles, right?
• 33:30
  But yeah, even my wife pointed out, she's like, You hear that?
• 33:32
  That's the Genesis song.
• 33:33
  And I'm like, It is.
• 33:35
  And then it dawned on me.
• 33:36
  I was like, Ooh, wait, I wonder.
• 33:38
  Oh, shoot.
• 33:39
  It's hot.
• 33:40
  In Mexico.
• 33:41
  He has to have his shirt open.
• 33:43
  Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, it sounds like Eric's never been to Mexico.
• 33:45
  Like, he picks it up all sweaty with their shirt off.
• 33:48
  And Steve every morning.
• 33:50
  Yeah, but you play like romantic music and he's talking to James Woods.
• 33:54
  Talk about just flatlining the scene.
• 33:57
  Well, that's, that's the other thing with this movie.
• 33:59
  Like the music score or whatever.
• 34:02
  Like, yeah, there's like the acoustic version of a Phil
• 34:04
  Collins song, which is very 80s.
• 34:05
  I get it.
• 34:06
  Sorry, but fuck Phil Collins.
• 34:09
  Babe, how do you really feel about Phil Collins though?
• 34:10
  I mean, he divorced his wife with a fax?
• 34:13
  Something like that?
• 34:13
  Have you not forgiven him for leaving Genesis or whatever?
• 34:16
  Or was that No, no, I haven't forgiven him for all of Tarzan and all of
• 34:20
  Spirits, Stallion and Cimarron, and I was a nanny during That was Ryan Adams.
• 34:25
  Sure, it's Phil Collins.
• 34:26
  He was Tarzan.
• 34:27
  I don't know about the other ones.
• 34:29
  I don't forgive him for being owned by Disney during the time when I was Well,
• 34:33
  I was a nanny because that's all I heard.
• 34:36
  All right.
• 34:36
  Well, Oh, is he Australian, right?
• 34:39
  Or was that just English?
• 34:44
  Trying to remember the South Park.
• 34:45
  It's funny you guys mentioned the Phil Collins, because when Eric sent out
• 34:51
  the suggestion to watch this movie, I went on to attempt to find it.
• 34:56
  Where I realized I already had it on my Plex.
• 34:57
  When I typed it in, the first thing that came up was the music video for
• 35:01
  the Phil Collins Against the Odds.
• 35:02
  And I was like, okay.
• 35:03
  So then I started looking into it a little bit.
• 35:05
  Because I knew when he did the soundtrack for Tarzan and stuff like that.
• 35:08
  I was like, okay.
• 35:08
  I was like, I thought that was something he did later in his career.
• 35:10
  But apparently he started doing music for movies earlier on.
• 35:13
  Where have you guys been?
• 35:15
  Am I the only Genesis fan left on the planet?
• 35:18
  Yes.
• 35:19
  Eric.
• 35:19
  Genesis was huge when I was two.
• 35:24
  The sledgehammer video.
• 35:25
  I think I was three and Peter Gabriel had already left.
• 35:29
  I wanna be your sledgehammer.
• 35:32
  Oh, I almost forgot.
• 35:34
  He did actually find the girl randomly like at a market or whatever.
• 35:37
  That's right.
• 35:38
  She pulled off on the moped after he was like trying to
• 35:40
  flirt with her or something.
• 35:41
  And she's like, whatever, dude.
• 35:43
  Bye.
• 35:45
  I love the quote when he tries to pick her up just like
• 35:48
  casually like trying to play mr.
• 35:50
  Cool, and he's like, well, you know, there's not much to do around here and
• 35:52
  she goes get off the island The fairy leaves every morning is Cozumel an island.
• 35:57
  No Cozumel is a coastline The writing in this is just top notch.
• 36:03
  I did like after this Jeff gives a call to James Woods And he was like,
• 36:08
  well, it's not like I'm just gonna bump into her buying fruit or something.
• 36:12
  win, win, nudge, nudge.
• 36:15
  Yeah, I, you see James was the other end, like that's all specific . So
• 36:19
  at this point, we're actually 38 minutes into the movie at this point.
• 36:22
  'cause I made timestamps as I went along and I had to stop again
• 36:25
  and do some research because as she's talking, I turned to my wife
• 36:29
  and I said, where is she from?
• 36:31
  What accent is this?
• 36:32
  What affect is she trying to put on?
• 36:34
  So Rachel Wood is from Cornwell, England, and she's trying to play an American.
• 36:39
  And just her American accent is not great.
• 36:43
  Well, she does sound rich.
• 36:45
  Yeah, she does.
• 36:46
  Yeah.
• 36:46
  She kind of sounds like a Kennedy.
• 36:48
  The next day, she mentioned something about like taking the ferry.
• 36:51
  We see Jeff Bridges playing chess with a kid, just waiting
• 36:53
  for her to show up at the ferry.
• 36:55
  And then he misses it.
• 36:56
  And then I guess he charters a boat to take him to the ruins of Tulum,
• 37:00
  which is now a major cruise port.
• 37:02
  I've been there.
• 37:03
  It's fantastic.
• 37:04
  They never mentioned a Jeff Bridges movie being shot there.
• 37:07
  And I was kind of disappointed about that.
• 37:09
  But I was looking at those like, Oh yeah, I got pictures of all.
• 37:11
  This is great.
• 37:12
  Been there.
• 37:13
  And of course, Tulum and Cozumel, beautiful, like light blue
• 37:18
  beaches with the water and the sand and just heaven on earth.
• 37:23
  So it's like, okay, cool.
• 37:24
  They definitely got their location scout.
• 37:25
  I hope you got a bonus for this one.
• 37:27
  So next time you go, are you going to be the nerd standing there
• 37:30
  going, did you know that they filmed the Jeff Bridges movie?
• 37:32
  Only if the steam room is involved.
• 37:34
  Uh, more on that later.
• 37:35
  And Jeff Bridges was there waiting for her to come and catch the ferry.
• 37:38
  It actually wasn't chess.
• 37:39
  He was playing field checkers and they were using beer caps.
• 37:42
  Oh, that makes sense.
• 37:43
  That's right.
• 37:44
  Cause that's all, and I was like, okay, I might have to start cleaning some beard
• 37:46
  caps since I've lost a bunch of checks.
• 37:48
  See the kid pop a couple Coronas or whatever, like,
• 37:51
  haha, I got another bond here.
• 37:53
  She's there like drawing or painting or whatever.
• 37:56
  Jeff Bridges walks up like, oh, so we run into each other again.
• 38:00
  Of course, she's like, all right, who sent you?
• 38:01
  Was it my parents or was it Jake?
• 38:02
  And he's like, What are you talking about?
• 38:06
  I'm just here trying to hit on a hot chick.
• 38:07
  I saw once that just happens to be in Cozumel with me,
• 38:10
  and I'm like, yeah, whatever.
• 38:12
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  He starts playing like hard to get, if this works, like spoilers, it does because
• 38:17
  she just pops up in his hotel room later, knock at the door like she's housekeeping.
• 38:22
  How is it that he's there for like, what a week?
• 38:25
  Have you seen this Moher?
• 38:27
  Have you seen this Moher in like, what an hour?
• 38:30
  She finds him.
• 38:31
  Mm-Hmm.
• 38:32
  . She's a good detective.
• 38:34
  There's a couple other good detectives in this.
• 38:37
  The other thing too, is he's broke as all get out.
• 38:40
  He's got the money from James Woods, right?
• 38:42
  He gave him 10 grand and he said he would pay him another 20 when he got back.
• 38:46
  He's already been on the island for like a week.
• 38:49
  He spent like 10.
• 38:51
  25 cents a day.
• 38:52
  Yeah.
• 38:52
  Yeah.
• 38:53
  He owns Cozumel now with 10 grand.
• 38:56
  But the distance from LA to Cozumel in the 80s, gotta remember, you
• 39:00
  know, it's not Southwest Airlines budget want to get away flight.
• 39:03
  It's 3100 miles away.
• 39:06
  I thought the other guy paid for that flight.
• 39:08
  There's some money transacting here that doesn't add up.
• 39:11
  13 million dollar budgeter.
• 39:13
  I mean, what, you wanted to watch him on the plane for, like, X hours?
• 39:18
  Yeah, yeah.
• 39:19
  He, he, Eric wants to see him smoking on the airplane.
• 39:22
  Nobody cared to see his plane trip.
• 39:24
  Nobody cared to see him shirtless again either, but here we go.
• 39:28
  I'm sorry, some of us are going to beg to differ.
• 39:30
  I mean, he had a six pack or an eight pack.
• 39:32
  You know, on that note, I'm gonna take my shirt off right now.
• 39:36
  Wait, babe, be careful.
• 39:37
  We're out of gun butter.
• 39:38
  Luckily, I got this Sierra Nevada pale ale I can just rub on my top body here.
• 39:44
  Oh, my top.
• 39:47
  So anyway, then she invites them over to her studio or whatever, which, by
• 39:52
  the way, must be nice to have a studio directly on the beach where I think
• 39:56
  it's also a stop on the Carnival Cruise.
• 39:59
  You mean the studio that no one knows where it is and you go down the road
• 40:03
  till you see the three beer cans dangling off a tree branch and then
• 40:06
  you make a right and you keep going?
• 40:08
  Yeah, those directions are insane.
• 40:10
  She gave him a distance, she said 19 kilometers out of town
• 40:14
  to find the out of town to find a couple beer caps or whatever.
• 40:17
  Yeah.
• 40:18
  It was like, all right, then you take a ride at the tree with the yellow dog
• 40:21
  next to it as is tradition in his VW.
• 40:24
  Fine.
• 40:25
  We get to see it finally.
• 40:27
  All right.
• 40:28
  So Steve, you have to go and then you're in turn left at the cow.
• 40:30
  Not that cow, the other cow, the cow was in the barn.
• 40:34
  So you just got to be careful there, but you can make a left.
• 40:36
  When you see the cow, not the first cow, the other cow, and then you're
• 40:39
  gonna go until there's a tree.
• 40:40
  Now, there's a lot of trees, but you want that tree.
• 40:43
  It's the one.
• 40:44
  My biggest thing with this studio, it's just like two walls
• 40:47
  and like a bunch of art shit up.
• 40:49
  It's a lean to.
• 40:50
  Is there not monsoon season in Cozumel?
• 40:52
  I don't know if she's been there.
• 40:54
  Or high tides, or, I don't know.
• 40:56
  But she's only been there for like, Or whatever, right?
• 40:59
  Like, You took issue with that?
• 41:01
  Yes.
• 41:01
  I took issue with the medieval undergarments that she was wearing.
• 41:05
  What was that?
• 41:06
  Was that a nightgown?
• 41:07
  Was that a smock?
• 41:08
  Did she just escape the mental hospital?
• 41:11
  Like, what was she wearing?
• 41:12
  I'm sorry, it's called a caftan, and it's something that
• 41:15
  ladies of a certain age wear.
• 41:17
  Yeah, she wanted to keep sand out of there.
• 41:20
  Yeah.
• 41:20
  I don't know that she wore undergarments much in this movie.
• 41:23
  When she shows up with that burlap sack.
• 41:26
  It's called a caftan.
• 41:29
  It's sort of like a Moo Moo, but with less stitching.
• 41:31
  It was terrible.
• 41:32
  So then they start talking, and this is where the movie
• 41:34
  starts becoming super dramatic.
• 41:36
  She's talking about like, Oh yeah, Jake was a fling.
• 41:38
  I was just basically banging him to get back at my parents.
• 41:41
  Also, my brother killed himself.
• 41:43
  I'm like, what?
• 41:43
  My god, I am getting so rock hard at this passion.
• 41:46
  I cannot concentrate.
• 41:48
  Blood is rushing elsewhere.
• 41:49
  Babe, it's a sob story, so she's gonna get a blowjob.
• 41:52
  She was giving the sob story, so she's getting the blowjob?
• 41:54
  Yeah, she's getting a blowjob.
• 41:55
  That's what I said.
• 41:56
  She's getting a blowjob.
• 41:57
  That explains why Jeff Bridges is like, So I gotta go, you
• 42:00
  know, as a sane man would do.
• 42:02
  And she's like, but Why?
• 42:03
  Why'd you fucking come here if we weren't gonna fuck?
• 42:05
  You know, basically.
• 42:07
  And I'm like, good point.
• 42:08
  And then it just got super awkward.
• 42:11
  Take it away, because my next note is kissing like horses eating an apple.
• 42:15
  You just read my mind.
• 42:17
  I just fallen out of her chair.
• 42:20
  It was so bad.
• 42:21
  I don't know.
• 42:22
  I expected it to be typical 80s, kind of sensual, just romantic scene.
• 42:29
  Saxophone.
• 42:29
  Some Kenny G.
• 42:31
  None of that.
• 42:33
  Your analogy is 100 percent correct.
• 42:36
  These horses.
• 42:37
  And then it's a montage of them like diving down into the ocean to, I don't
• 42:42
  know, look for pearls and drowned and then just a lot of like licking and
• 42:46
  again, back to the, the horse kisses and then dancing and then, and then
• 42:51
  having the world's worst wet t shirt contest when they just kind of like
• 42:54
  leave the dance party to go take a dip in the water and random butt cheeks.
• 42:58
  I mean, it was everything you didn't want in a sex scene.
• 43:04
  It was terrible.
• 43:06
  Oh my God, I saw more of Jeff Bridges tongue than I think I
• 43:09
  ever need to see in my life.
• 43:10
  Oh, so gross.
• 43:13
  And then when the montage is over, it's like, man, it's been a great two weeks.
• 43:16
  I'm like, really?
• 43:17
  Okay, here we go.
• 43:18
  That blew my mind.
• 43:19
  I literally said to myself, and I wrote it on my notepad.
• 43:22
  I said, how long has he been there?
• 43:24
  That exact next note, it's like, it was a wonderful two weeks.
• 43:27
  I'm like, oh, what?
• 43:29
  And then this is where, uh, I guess Jeff Bridges just nutted.
• 43:32
  And so he has to like, spill his deepest, darkest secret to this woman.
• 43:37
  Where it's like, so yeah, there was this time where like the point
• 43:40
  spread in the football game was four points and the ball was coming my
• 43:43
  way and I want to get a touchdown.
• 43:44
  But I was like, Running math in my head.
• 43:46
  So I like dropped the, no, but he caught it.
• 43:49
  It sounded like he like caught it and then like threw it out of bounds or something.
• 43:53
  He caught it and he ran and he made it to the five yard line.
• 43:56
  He said, and then he got tackled and he fumbled the ball.
• 44:00
  It had just let it go.
• 44:02
  And then he was like, if somebody else on the team would have done
• 44:05
  that, you would be like, Finding me in jail or whatever he said.
• 44:08
  I don't even know by the end of the story Like he's like damn
• 44:11
  near crying and everything.
• 44:12
  I just wanted her to be like that's the stupidest story I've heard in my
• 44:15
  life Did I tell you my brother killed himself and i've been banging james
• 44:19
  woods for the last year and that's the best you've got Okay, and you know what?
• 44:23
  She says instead she goes I wish I'd seen you play football.
• 44:27
  Yeah, it was totally a, I wasn't paying attention, but you know what?
• 44:32
  I'm sure you're good at what you do.
• 44:33
  This was the worst pillow talk in a movie ever.
• 44:37
  Her mother owns a team.
• 44:38
  How does she never watch a single game?
• 44:40
  I don't know.
• 44:40
  Do you watch the games your mom owns?
• 44:44
  I don't know.
• 44:45
  What?
• 44:45
  I'm kidding.
• 44:46
  So the appeal of this is like, Eric, if you're like having that moment of post
• 44:50
  nut clarity and you're talking about the time you and your uncle were like
• 44:53
  working on a car, but then the jack gave way and crushed your uncle under it.
• 44:57
  And your wife's response was something like, Oh man, I would have been a
• 45:01
  great ride in that car along the coast.
• 45:03
  Oh, I wish I could have ridden with you in the car.
• 45:05
  Yeah.
• 45:05
  Right.
• 45:06
  I mean, eww.
• 45:07
  The whole thing was just.
• 45:09
  Forced from beginning to end.
• 45:10
  It was awful.
• 45:11
  You know, we talked about in Corvette Summer, how there was no chemistry
• 45:15
  between Mark Hamill and Annie Potts.
• 45:17
  This was a thousand times worse.
• 45:20
  Like, they had zero on screen chemistry.
• 45:23
  She legit looks like she just has disdain for Jeff Bridges.
• 45:26
  Right, everyone?
• 45:27
  I don't get it.
• 45:28
  Disdain for literally everyone in the world.
• 45:31
  She has disdain for living.
• 45:32
  I don't know, man.
• 45:33
  She's skinny and pretty.
• 45:34
  So?
• 45:35
  So that's all you need.
• 45:36
  Coke's big in the 80s.
• 45:37
  There's a lot of skinny girls.
• 45:38
  Trust me.
• 45:39
  She's skinny and pretty.
• 45:40
  She gets everything she wants.
• 45:41
  There's a lot of Coke in this movie too.
• 45:43
  Did you notice that?
• 45:44
  Coca Cola?
• 45:45
  Yeah, that kind.
• 45:45
  Coca Cola.
• 45:46
  I think we'll get to it.
• 45:47
  For the Mark Hamill Annie Potts thing, at least there, she was trying to be a lady
• 45:52
  of the road or, you know, prostitute.
• 45:54
  So that alone would, it's not like going to be intimate, although they
• 45:57
  did try to play it that way, but that is more believable than this movie.
• 46:01
  Well, yeah, this is why you don't give hoes all the money, because if they
• 46:04
  have all the money, then they become this person as opposed to Annie Butts.
• 46:09
  That's what we're talking about, right?
• 46:10
  Well, we haven't even crescendoed yet on this thing.
• 46:12
  So let's just keep going.
• 46:14
  Yeah.
• 46:14
  So, and then she also casually went like, Oh, I'd love to watch you play, by the
• 46:17
  way, I didn't steal that money from Jake.
• 46:19
  And he's instantly like, wait, what?
• 46:21
  We should run off together.
• 46:22
  What?
• 46:23
  No, no, no, no.
• 46:23
  She didn't.
• 46:24
  She said, my mom cut off the trust fund.
• 46:26
  I'm out of money.
• 46:26
  I have to go home.
• 46:27
  And he was like, what about the money from Jake?
• 46:29
  And then she was like, I never took any of the money from Jake.
• 46:31
  Why would I take money from him if I was trying to get out from under him?
• 46:34
  And then he was like, Oh, well, I have money from Jake.
• 46:37
  Should we just run off together?
• 46:38
  Yeah.
• 46:38
  He'll just forget about that shit.
• 46:40
  Cut to like 10 days later after he's like, tried to throw Jake off his trail by,
• 46:44
  I assume, just racking up airline miles to Mexico city and, uh, other cities.
• 46:49
  He knew somebody was on his trail.
• 46:51
  Trail.
• 46:51
  So he was, yeah, just flying around to like a million different cities and
• 46:55
  she was really bored in a small town.
• 46:58
  So her life is the worst.
• 46:59
  Ooh.
• 47:01
  Yeah.
• 47:01
  So this is when they're like, uh, again, the, the Mayan ruins
• 47:04
  there at a Tulum or whatever, and they're like, Chichen Itza, right?
• 47:07
  That's where she wanted to go.
• 47:08
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 47:08
  Chichen Itza.
• 47:09
  That's right.
• 47:09
  That's the one with the pyramids and stuff.
• 47:11
  Yeah, and she was like, ugh, everything here is absolutely the worst.
• 47:15
  Absolutely fucking terrible.
• 47:16
  You'll see when you get here.
• 47:17
  And then she takes him to like, absolutely stunning places.
• 47:21
  Yeah, and they see the hieroglyphs about like, the way Mayans used
• 47:24
  to play football, basically.
• 47:25
  Where he's like, oh look, they even have like, chin straps and stuff.
• 47:28
  And like, yeah, but if you lost, you gotta execute it.
• 47:31
  And if you won, you sometimes gotta execute it.
• 47:34
  And if you met him in the game, you might have gotten executed.
• 47:36
  Yeah.
• 47:37
  And if you called the referee a racial epithet, you were beheaded.
• 47:41
  And it's like, you know, maybe not too bad.
• 47:43
  High lie was a brutal sport.
• 47:45
  That's all I'm going to say.
• 47:46
  Right.
• 47:47
  Wait, was it highlight?
• 47:48
  Well, that was the one with the big scoop pan things or whatever.
• 47:52
  That was a highlight court.
• 47:53
  I mean, that's what the Mayans played.
• 47:54
  That was their sport.
• 47:55
  And that's what she was talking about.
• 47:56
  For some reason, I thought that was like Middle Eastern, but anyway.
• 47:59
  No, and it was cool that they were making that parallel to modern
• 48:02
  football and rugby to high life, even though it shares some properties
• 48:06
  with like lacrosse and all that.
• 48:07
  But that was a fun for me as a history nerd.
• 48:09
  I was like, this is cool.
• 48:10
  I've also seen this on ancient alien.
• 48:12
  So we're all good now.
• 48:14
  Look, just because white people didn't do it doesn't mean it's aliens.
• 48:20
  Chupacabra.
• 48:21
  That's all I'm going to say.
• 48:22
  Look, I have solved the chupacabra.
• 48:24
  Just look up a sloth skeleton.
• 48:26
  Well, speaking of looking up, what about that upskirt as she's coming down?
• 48:33
  Who is the key grip on this scene in particular?
• 48:35
  I was like, what are we doing now?
• 48:37
  Uh, looking it up, it looks like it was Bowbridges.
• 48:40
  Interesting.
• 48:41
  Yeah, as I was around this time, she's like, Oh yeah, by the
• 48:44
  way, I did steal Jake's money.
• 48:45
  It's in Mexico City, by the way.
• 48:47
  And I'm like, Run, Jeff.
• 48:48
  Run fucking now.
• 48:49
  Go back to LA.
• 48:50
  Become a celebrity bartender.
• 48:52
  You're a goddamn fool.
• 48:54
  And instead he's like, You know I love you, right?
• 48:56
  But he does it in the creepiest, most alpha way possible, where he's
• 48:59
  like, I can never live without you.
• 49:01
  You're mine now.
• 49:02
  We can't be apart.
• 49:03
  And I'm like, What the fuck is happening with this movie?
• 49:05
  Tanya, please explain.
• 49:06
  Uh, twist movie.
• 49:09
  Got a movie.
• 49:10
  You remember earlier I made notes.
• 49:13
  What do you mean about Jake's?
• 49:15
  My, and then the, the movie sort of answers it as I'm thinking
• 49:18
  about these questions, I literally wrote down and I put a star and I
• 49:22
  said, How is this an R rated movie?
• 49:27
  Eric, it's funny you should ask, because then Ah, here we go.
• 49:32
  Jeff Bridges, I think, said something like, Hey, so I hear there's
• 49:35
  like a sweat house in this place.
• 49:37
  Not to them, bare ass Fucking in these ancient ruins in what
• 49:42
  is like an ancient Mayan spa.
• 49:45
  Yeah.
• 49:46
  The first thing I thought of was like, that is not something you do
• 49:49
  unless you want to incur the wrath of like the Incans and the Mayans.
• 49:53
  Yes.
• 49:54
  Chupacabra.
• 49:55
  Curse upon you.
• 49:56
  You imagine the Montezuma's revenge she's gonna get.
• 49:59
  So my thought was the fact that there were other tourists there,
• 50:02
  a place like I would be all quiet.
• 50:03
  So they'd be in there going to town.
• 50:04
  So the echoing would just amplify out.
• 50:06
  It was completely empty, the whole place.
• 50:08
  It was like by itself.
• 50:09
  I was like, what kind of like temple is this where there's nobody else?
• 50:13
  The cruise ship hasn't pulled up.
• 50:15
  Like it's a random Tuesday or something.
• 50:17
  Like, no, there's people there.
• 50:19
  There's park Rangers there.
• 50:20
  Like someone walking in, like.
• 50:22
  Hey, put your clothes on and get out of our sweat lodge.
• 50:26
  These are ancient ruins.
• 50:27
  You're going to get all of the diseases.
• 50:29
  And then it became this weird montage of Incan carvings and
• 50:36
  body placement and crying.
• 50:38
  Yeah.
• 50:39
  I didn't know if they were playing twister or searching for gold.
• 50:43
  What the hell was happening?
• 50:45
  The ancient Mayan ruin equivalent of rug burn in your B hole.
• 50:49
  That's why she's crying.
• 50:52
  Don't even mention the spiders.
• 50:53
  Oh yeah.
• 50:54
  Spiders and snakes and snakes in her butt.
• 50:57
  Bottle caps from past.
• 50:58
  Tourists asked me if I wanted to fuck it.
• 51:00
  And by the way, it's my mother watching the movie with us.
• 51:04
  And I said, no, because I don't want snakes in any of our butts.
• 51:07
  And my mom agreed that neither of those things.
• 51:10
  We've been talking about the budget of this film for quite
• 51:12
  a bit now, and I understand where it all went in this scene.
• 51:16
  How much Johnson Johnson baby oil did they use?
• 51:20
  Like, I've never seen people so shiny in my life.
• 51:24
  So you've never seen a Fast Furious movie?
• 51:26
  Yeah, same.
• 51:28
  Eric's never been to Mexico during the summer.
• 51:30
  No, but you can buy gun butter by the barrel.
• 51:33
  Yeah, it was just wow.
• 51:35
  They were bronze.
• 51:36
  I mean, they might as well have been statues.
• 51:38
  It was just unreal.
• 51:39
  No, there were statues there, Eric, and they weren't covered in gun butter,
• 51:43
  except the ones they were fucking on.
• 51:45
  You know, they were more convincing than these two were
• 51:49
  in terms of their chemistry.
• 51:50
  Again, it was even more awkward than the previous love scenes.
• 51:54
  Oh, the body placements alone.
• 51:56
  I was like, is this a Pilates class?
• 51:58
  Like, what are you guys doing to show off their youthful,
• 52:02
  flexible, taunt body Jeff Bridges.
• 52:06
  Look good.
• 52:06
  I'm not going to say in the midst of all this, then the coach, Oh my God.
• 52:13
  The assistant coach solely shows up randomly.
• 52:16
  I'm like, Uh, hello, welcome back.
• 52:18
  You're in a public touristy place and you're amazed someone pops their
• 52:21
  head in and hearing y'all boning.
• 52:23
  You're like, Sully, what are you doing here?
• 52:24
  I'm on a cruise.
• 52:26
  Right?
• 52:26
  What the fuck are you doing here?
• 52:28
  Banging in the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza.
• 52:30
  Well, the best part is he's like, well, you weren't hard to find.
• 52:33
  I'm like, this is the eighties, man.
• 52:34
  How are you tracking this guy?
• 52:36
  By what magic?
• 52:37
  Are you a time traveler?
• 52:38
  By phone calls from Cozumel.
• 52:40
  It's not that hard.
• 52:42
  And then he's like, yeah, Jake sent me and then pulls a gun out.
• 52:44
  And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, let's talk about this.
• 52:47
  Like, what does he have on you?
• 52:48
  You're like, and that's all it takes.
• 52:51
  And then there's a fight despite, and there's a ledge.
• 52:55
  Oh no.
• 52:55
  Jeff Bridges can get thrown over the ledge.
• 52:57
  And we're only an hour into this movie, 62 minutes at this point.
• 53:00
  And then slowly like kind of tosses them to the side and Jeff Bridges
• 53:03
  like hits his head or whatever.
• 53:05
  And then the coach starts like.
• 53:06
  Hey, hey, Terry, you okay?
• 53:08
  I'm like, wait, did he have a change of heart or something?
• 53:10
  Like, hey, it's okay.
• 53:11
  I'm sorry, man.
• 53:12
  Look, let's get you to the hospital.
• 53:13
  You're going to be just fine.
• 53:14
  But then, uh, Jessica, that's right.
• 53:16
  That's her name in this movie.
• 53:17
  She grabs the gun that's like on the floor.
• 53:19
  And he's like, bitch, stop, get help.
• 53:21
  Give me that gun.
• 53:22
  Pow.
• 53:24
  Roll credits, guys.
• 53:24
  What do we think?
• 53:25
  No, there's more.
• 53:26
  Ah, yeah, we're at the halfway point of this travesty.
• 53:29
  Another quote, I wrote it down because, you know, he's there consoling Sully
• 53:33
  and, Sully, it's gonna be okay.
• 53:35
  Maybe I'll stop the bleeding as he just tries to compress the bullet
• 53:40
  hole that's right at his heart.
• 53:42
  I'm like, really?
• 53:43
  Okay, he said maybe Jessica's like, yeah, I don't need this shit and fucking runs
• 53:47
  and Jeff Bridges like where are you going?
• 53:49
  I thought we were gonna like love this.
• 53:51
  Okay So then he ends up carrying sully's corpse through the ruins
• 53:55
  of chichen itza to another stop on the tour And nobody noticed Nobody
• 54:00
  noticed a guy carrying another guy.
• 54:02
  Well, there was nobody around, so of course they didn't.
• 54:05
  I don't care if it's monsoon season, someone saw them.
• 54:08
  You guys didn't see the kids playing in the highlight field?
• 54:12
  The whole beginning of the movie, just to go back, where he's
• 54:14
  like, have you seen this woman?
• 54:15
  Do you think any of them are going to say anything?
• 54:18
  After the first person he asked, I was like, none of these MFers are
• 54:21
  going to say they've seen this woman.
• 54:22
  Gringo, get the hell out.
• 54:24
  Get out of here, gringo.
• 54:25
  Yo, Emigra, Emigra.
• 54:27
  It's terrible.
• 54:28
  Dumps his body into one of those, uh, what are they called?
• 54:30
  The cenotes or whatever.
• 54:31
  And uh, yeah, just another beautiful spot on the tour and
• 54:36
  like, yeah, he's tied to a rock.
• 54:38
  He'll be fine.
• 54:39
  They'll never find him.
• 54:39
  Oh yeah.
• 54:40
  She went back to his hotel room, stole all of his money and flew off.
• 54:43
  You would think that would be roll credits, right?
• 54:47
  We cut to him being back in LA.
• 54:49
  Like what did we find out?
• 54:49
  It was like two months later, some shit like that.
• 54:52
  Basically, he walks up to James Woods and is like, Hey, I quit.
• 54:54
  I'm not looking for her anymore.
• 54:56
  And James Woods is like, What are you, what the fuck are you talking about?
• 54:59
  You think I don't know what's going on?
• 55:01
  And like, basically he just implies like, I know what's going
• 55:03
  on, you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 55:04
  But hey, I got another job for you so you can play football again.
• 55:07
  I still got the hooks, we're still friends, whatever.
• 55:09
  He's like, no man, we're not friends, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
• 55:11
  Jessica, what the fuck are you doing here?
• 55:13
  I've been looking for you for months.
• 55:15
  And she's like, I've been here.
• 55:16
  Whatever.
• 55:18
  Unreal.
• 55:19
  Yeah, yeah, cool, yeah, we're gonna miss Sully.
• 55:21
  Hey, you wanna watch a game?
• 55:22
  The whole rest of this movie, I'm like, just leave, dude.
• 55:24
  We go to Jake's Palace, it's open now, it's complete.
• 55:27
  Oh, that's right, yeah, he's like, yeah, come on by the club tonight, you know,
• 55:29
  whatever, I'll put you on the list.
• 55:30
  And so, yeah, that night, he shows up, and he's still like, talking to James Woods,
• 55:35
  like, I don't work for you, I just came here for the free booze or something.
• 55:38
  And he says, I gotta get your stink off of me.
• 55:41
  I was like, that's a good quote, I like that, it's a good one.
• 55:43
  Yeah, so why'd you come to his place?
• 55:45
  Exactly!
• 55:46
  And then, he sits down next to a girl and I'm like, Is that Christy Swanson?
• 55:50
  Or Elizabeth Shue?
• 55:51
  Like, Steve's interested in this girl.
• 55:53
  So I looked it up.
• 55:53
  Her name is Tamara Stafford.
• 55:55
  She starred in three movies.
• 55:58
  This, The Hills Have Eyes 2, and Riptide.
• 56:01
  And then called it a career, I guess.
• 56:03
  She's literally credited as Kirsch's girlfriend.
• 56:05
  Yeah.
• 56:06
  Saul Rubinick's girlfriend or whatever.
• 56:08
  And the way they did her hair, I thought at first it was Edie, and they had redone
• 56:12
  her hair, kind of lightened her up, because they have almost a similar face.
• 56:16
  And then I realized it was a different girl.
• 56:19
  And I'm like, okay, well, nevermind.
• 56:19
  That kind of breaks the illusion.
• 56:21
  We talked about it before, the music in this movie.
• 56:24
  We get incredible music performance from Sir Phil Cutler.
• 56:27
  Oh, no, I'm sorry.
• 56:28
  Kid Creole and the Coconut.
• 56:29
  So I had to stop because I was like, wait a second.
• 56:32
  I was like, is this kind of like interesting?
• 56:34
  This like first part of it.
• 56:35
  And I was like, is this real?
• 56:37
  So Kid Creole and the Coconut are in fact a very real group.
• 56:41
  Oh, yeah.
• 56:42
  Except the coconuts apparently have been rotating.
• 56:46
  Those first three that are in the movie were the original three coconuts.
• 56:49
  They left at some point, when I guess the first album was not
• 56:52
  a big success, so go figure.
• 56:54
  And then he's had a rotating past of coconuts since then.
• 56:58
  You gotta keep them fresh.
• 56:59
  You do.
• 57:00
  I don't even know where to start with this.
• 57:01
  Izzy, do you want to talk about their unshaven armpits, or do we want to talk
• 57:05
  about the fact that he looks like DeBarge had a baby with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy?
• 57:09
  I was thinking of mysterious Lou Bega vibes.
• 57:11
  Yeah, I mean, look, people can shave whether they want or not.
• 57:15
  I'm not here to judge.
• 57:16
  It's a stylistic choice.
• 57:18
  As a dancer?
• 57:19
  Yeah.
• 57:19
  All three of them?
• 57:21
  Is that a uniform requirement to not shave your bits?
• 57:23
  Maybe they're like Pit Merkins or something.
• 57:25
  Hey, hey, think about it.
• 57:27
  Coconuts are hair . Yeah.
• 57:29
  There we go.
• 57:30
  Yeah.
• 57:33
  That's how you know the coconut is ripe, if you know what I'm saying.
• 57:38
  Here's the thing, at least you know they're of age.
• 57:40
  Exactly.
• 57:41
  You know, they're old enough to grow hair.
• 57:43
  You don't want no bold green coconut or whatever the hell.
• 57:46
  I just broke him again and Eric's gone.
• 57:49
  Alright, so then, uh, we broke him.
• 57:54
  This might've been better than the baseball bat with the four and a
• 57:58
  half running around in a circle.
• 58:04
  That's right.
• 58:06
  Oh, wow.
• 58:08
  So, I didn't notice that the first time watching it.
• 58:11
  Just for the purpose of doing this time, I had it playing in the background
• 58:13
  muted while we were going over this.
• 58:15
  See, this is what he does.
• 58:17
  It's just like trading paint.
• 58:18
  No.
• 58:19
  Like I did it so I could see the things like we said, they had armpit hair.
• 58:22
  I didn't notice that when I watched it.
• 58:24
  But then when you said it, I looked up at the screen.
• 58:25
  I'm like, Holy crap.
• 58:26
  They did.
• 58:27
  Yeah.
• 58:27
  They like shimmer in the light too.
• 58:29
  It's like bleached.
• 58:30
  Yeah.
• 58:31
  Tentacles.
• 58:31
  They like zoomed in on them.
• 58:33
  How'd you miss it?
• 58:34
  Zoom and enhance.
• 58:35
  Later in the scene it looked like they were clean shaven.
• 58:36
  So speaking of getting arrested for harvesting underage things, James
• 58:39
  Woods has a job offer for you.
• 58:41
  For Jeff Bridges, he's basically like, Hey, so, uh, Sully, he came to me because
• 58:45
  him and, uh, Kersh or whatever were, uh, trying to sell me out on some betting
• 58:49
  shit and fixing games and blah blah blah.
• 58:52
  And basically, I need you to go get some files on Kersh because
• 58:55
  he has dirt on, like, everybody.
• 58:56
  But if you get these files, then we're squared.
• 58:58
  You'll never have to talk to me again.
• 59:00
  You get your stink off or whatever the hell you keep saying, yet
• 59:02
  still showing up at my club.
• 59:03
  Okay, cool.
• 59:04
  I can do that.
• 59:05
  He confronts Kirsch in the bathroom.
• 59:07
  In the bathroom!
• 59:08
  Yes!
• 59:09
  Yeah!
• 59:09
  And I've just said, Oh, the 80s, cause he's doing coke.
• 59:12
  Fuck yeah, he is.
• 59:13
  Man, this is like the third time this has happened in this movie, too.
• 59:16
  I mean, it's like, what a trope.
• 59:18
  I'm like, okay, fine.
• 59:19
  But then there's that Awful scene that kind of comes next between Jeff
• 59:24
  Bridges and Rachel Ward where they, it's that awkward sexual tension that
• 59:28
  borderlines on sexual assault borderlines.
• 59:31
  You say it was cringy as she, Oh no, he a hundred percent sexually assaults her, but
• 59:36
  it turns out she's into the rough trade.
• 59:38
  So yeah.
• 59:39
  Rip my effing shirt off.
• 59:42
  I'm like, what?
• 59:43
  He's going full.
• 59:44
  Blake.
• 59:45
  Mel Gibson in a South Park episode.
• 59:47
  Like, Oh, twist my nipples.
• 59:48
  Oh, Oh, you'll never torture me.
• 59:50
  Ah, as he's like putting himself in a fucking iron maiden.
• 59:54
  Yeah.
• 59:55
  He's like tearing his shirt off and she's like screaming like for the cops.
• 59:58
  Like, and then like, they start crying.
• 1:00:02
  The writing at this point, I'm like, did they lose the plot entirely?
• 1:00:06
  Like, what is the point of this?
• 1:00:10
  The next morning, James Woods and Jessica, they're chatting on the
• 1:00:13
  beach and she's like, look, I'm not going to let me like, look, you're
• 1:00:16
  not going to get away from me.
• 1:00:17
  I'm going to live here forever.
• 1:00:17
  Nah, you know, whatever.
• 1:00:19
  Creepy bullshit.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah.
• 1:00:20
  And James Woods says, you ruined my life and I'm not going to lose you.
• 1:00:24
  And I'm like, again, the writing, I'm like, this doesn't make any sense.
• 1:00:28
  Is he on cocaine too?
• 1:00:29
  Probably jives at all.
• 1:00:32
  There's some really weird transitions at this point in the movie.
• 1:00:35
  Once we kind of hit that.
• 1:00:37
  Jake's palace to the next part of this when we're in the building
• 1:00:41
  and now it's turned into sneakers.
• 1:00:42
  Yeah, so it's Sunday night.
• 1:00:44
  At Nakatomi Tower.
• 1:00:46
  Jeff Bridges has the keys to Steve's office.
• 1:00:49
  First off, he starts off by running laps, of course.
• 1:00:51
  Because, you know, you want to get good and sweaty before
• 1:00:53
  you're about to do a B& E.
• 1:00:54
  So he goes to Kirsch's office and he's like looking through, breaks into a
• 1:00:58
  little thing, finds a bunch of files, but pulls out one that says, Fuck you, Terry.
• 1:01:02
  That was so funny.
• 1:01:04
  And I'm like Just leave.
• 1:01:05
  Wipe everything down that you've touched.
• 1:01:07
  Just fucking leave.
• 1:01:08
  Nope.
• 1:01:09
  Instead, he's like, I gotta go take a shit or something.
• 1:01:11
  Goes into the bathroom.
• 1:01:12
  Catches Kirsch in the shower.
• 1:01:13
  Dead, dead, dead.
• 1:01:14
  I was hoping to see a little Saul Rubinak taking a shower.
• 1:01:16
  Like, oh, what are you doing here?
• 1:01:18
  Slip at his head, you know.
• 1:01:20
  Awkward Benny Hill kind of death or something, right?
• 1:01:22
  Nope, no, he's just dead.
• 1:01:23
  Johnny on the spot security guard pops up and he's like, Surprise, motherfucker.
• 1:01:27
  Guess what?
• 1:01:28
  I owe James Wood some money, too.
• 1:01:29
  Jeff Bridges, like, shuts the door and, like, gets the gun from
• 1:01:32
  him and I guess knocks him out?
• 1:01:34
  But doesn't kill him.
• 1:01:36
  He's just never heard from again, even when, uh, Jeff Bridges
• 1:01:39
  apparently hides Kirsch's body.
• 1:01:41
  So the transition from that scene where like knocked out the security
• 1:01:44
  guard and he's like trying to move Kirsch's body to him pulling up at
• 1:01:48
  the ginger man or whatever in the car.
• 1:01:49
  And I'm like, are those bodies in the trunk of that Porsche?
• 1:01:53
  This is going to get really fun.
• 1:01:55
  Really quick.
• 1:01:56
  The frunk of a nine 11 was designed to take a.
• 1:01:59
  Full set of golf clubs.
• 1:02:00
  So if you fold a human the right way, it should fit in the front.
• 1:02:03
  Two humans, Eric.
• 1:02:05
  A Saul Rubenick and a security guard.
• 1:02:07
  He'll just carry him on his shoulders because nobody will notice in this movie.
• 1:02:11
  They'll notice him walking through the ginger man and
• 1:02:14
  hitting on Edie or whatever, yeah.
• 1:02:15
  Why does he pick up a dead body he hadn't touched?
• 1:02:18
  Cause then he could have just ran.
• 1:02:20
  Movie got a movie.
• 1:02:21
  As soon as you see the piece of paper that says, fuck you, Terry, you start
• 1:02:25
  dusting shit off and you fucking leave.
• 1:02:28
  He was wearing gloves.
• 1:02:29
  He was wearing gloves.
• 1:02:30
  If you're, okay, cool.
• 1:02:31
  Then you're done.
• 1:02:31
  You know what you do?
• 1:02:32
  Go to the ginger man, establish your alibi with Edie, fuck her brains out.
• 1:02:36
  And then guess what?
• 1:02:37
  You wake up the next morning.
• 1:02:39
  You're not a suspect.
• 1:02:40
  And maybe it is pretty sweet.
• 1:02:42
  I don't know.
• 1:02:42
  Your point, Steve.
• 1:02:43
  This is like the hundredth time in this movie where it's like,
• 1:02:46
  Jeff, Jeff, are you listening?
• 1:02:47
  Earth to Jeff, leave.
• 1:02:49
  Go do something else.
• 1:02:51
  Like, stop.
• 1:02:52
  Nope.
• 1:02:52
  He just keeps sending it.
• 1:02:54
  Scene after scene.
• 1:02:55
  Jeff, you're acting like a Baldwin right now.
• 1:02:57
  I need you to act like a Bridges.
• 1:02:58
  Okay, I need you to just be cool, dude.
• 1:03:01
  You don't need to use live ammo.
• 1:03:03
  So he goes to see Edie, who's Kirsch's secretary.
• 1:03:05
  Okay, cool.
• 1:03:05
  He's gonna like establish an alibi and you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:03:09
  Like, I've seen Murder, She Wrote.
• 1:03:10
  I know how this stuff happens.
• 1:03:11
  Nope.
• 1:03:11
  Instead, he's like, okay, so I got some bodies in the trunk.
• 1:03:14
  Kirsch is dead.
• 1:03:15
  I need you to break into his office and find these files.
• 1:03:17
  Otherwise, I'm going to be in super duper trouble.
• 1:03:20
  And she's so drunk at this point.
• 1:03:22
  She's like, wait, what?
• 1:03:23
  Kirsch is dead?
• 1:03:23
  What are you saying?
• 1:03:24
  I gotta get some coffee or something.
• 1:03:26
  Like, no, no, no time.
• 1:03:27
  I need you to tell me where his secret stash is.
• 1:03:30
  The treasure chest, she called it.
• 1:03:32
  I was like, what is happening now?
• 1:03:36
  We've got a treasure tip.
• 1:03:37
  We're on a hunt.
• 1:03:39
  And then Jeff Bridges is totally like gaslighting her.
• 1:03:40
  Like, Oh, you know what?
• 1:03:41
  They'll kill you too.
• 1:03:42
  Once this all breaks, they'll kill you too.
• 1:03:44
  And I'm like, no, they won't.
• 1:03:46
  They don't give a fuck about the secretary.
• 1:03:48
  Nope.
• 1:03:49
  Okay, so.
• 1:03:50
  We go back to Nakatobi Tower.
• 1:03:51
  They go back to the office, cause Edie's gotta go in and
• 1:03:55
  like, get the stash and whatever.
• 1:03:56
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 1:03:57
  And this is where we're introduced to star of the movie, Ted White,
• 1:04:01
  as security guard with Doug.
• 1:04:02
  And he's just the coolest motherfucker around.
• 1:04:04
  Like, I don't know what it is about this guy.
• 1:04:06
  Like, he'd be cool to have a beer with.
• 1:04:08
  He's a studman.
• 1:04:09
  So the Doberman sitting there over Edie's shoulder, just like,
• 1:04:13
  she's like, your dog bothers me.
• 1:04:15
  And I love how he delivers it just so deadpan.
• 1:04:18
  He's like, he's supposed to.
• 1:04:21
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:04:22
  Like this motherfucker gets it.
• 1:04:24
  Right?
• 1:04:25
  You know, she's like, no, Jake told me to get here and get this stuff
• 1:04:28
  before the cops start showing up.
• 1:04:30
  But in order to get into the safe, like she turns the radio on, like
• 1:04:33
  it's like different things and then turns the dial and then it pops
• 1:04:37
  open a little door on the side.
• 1:04:38
  That was some James Bond shit right there.
• 1:04:40
  That was cool.
• 1:04:41
  Ring, ring, ring.
• 1:04:42
  Who is it?
• 1:04:43
  Security guy picks up.
• 1:04:44
  Oh, hey, Jake.
• 1:04:45
  Yeah, yeah, we're almost done.
• 1:04:46
  The girl's here getting all the stuff you wanted.
• 1:04:49
  You know, the papers that blah, blah, blah.
• 1:04:50
  And she like pulls the phone cord out of the wall or whatever and starts running.
• 1:04:54
  He's like, Hey, get your ass back here.
• 1:04:55
  And then Jeff Bridges comes out of left field and like starts fighting them.
• 1:04:59
  And he enters like Hans Gruber slick back hair and the
• 1:05:02
  leather jacket and everything.
• 1:05:03
  I'm like, Oh man, here we go.
• 1:05:05
  They tussle a bit.
• 1:05:06
  And then Edie ends up taking like a letter opener.
• 1:05:09
  Tussle.
• 1:05:09
  He punt kicks him in the balls.
• 1:05:11
  Field goal right between the legs.
• 1:05:13
  People tussle differently.
• 1:05:16
  But yeah, he grabs this letter opener and stabs a security guard's hand
• 1:05:20
  like into the door of the bathroom where he's like, ah, fuck, fuck, fuck.
• 1:05:24
  They run with the secret stash of papers.
• 1:05:26
  Jessica goes to talk to her mom.
• 1:05:29
  Yes.
• 1:05:29
  And enter another car into the equation.
• 1:05:32
  One of Tanya's favorites.
• 1:05:33
  Did you see it?
• 1:05:33
  No.
• 1:05:34
  You know what?
• 1:05:34
  I'm drawing a blank.
• 1:05:35
  It was a gold SL convertible Mercedes.
• 1:05:38
  I don't know.
• 1:05:39
  Like Rick drove a Magnum.
• 1:05:40
  Maybe I wasn't watching that part.
• 1:05:42
  Then again, this is me picking out cars.
• 1:05:44
  I may have fallen asleep while my meal was being served to me.
• 1:05:47
  Uh.
• 1:05:47
  I mean, generic white guy number one drives a Jag and
• 1:05:50
  Tommy drives a C4 Corvette.
• 1:05:52
  So I made a list of all the cars.
• 1:05:54
  As is tradition, as it should be for your podcast.
• 1:05:58
  Yeah, Jessica goes to see her mom and her mom's like, well, it's
• 1:06:00
  good to see you're in good health.
• 1:06:02
  And Jessica's instantly like, let me talk to my stepdad.
• 1:06:04
  I'm like, Why didn't you just ask for him?
• 1:06:07
  Have one of the guys handing out drinks or whatever, like, Hey, could you go
• 1:06:10
  tap Ben on the shoulder and tell him his stepdaughter is outside here?
• 1:06:12
  But anyway, we had the Ben, the stepdad, and she's basically like,
• 1:06:16
  look, Jake is doing some seedy shit, you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:06:19
  You're like, he's got all, all this stuff.
• 1:06:21
  He's making people do horrible stuff.
• 1:06:23
  He's going to blow up everything.
• 1:06:25
  This is where it sort of turns into Get Shorty, because they're like, Jeff Terry,
• 1:06:30
  whatever his name is, Jeff Bridges.
• 1:06:31
  He's got the goods, man.
• 1:06:33
  We got to get him because he's got the treasure chest.
• 1:06:34
  Okay, and I was hoping for another car chase scene at this point.
• 1:06:38
  Of course.
• 1:06:39
  Break it up a little bit, but no.
• 1:06:41
  You know, instead uh, we uh, get Ben going to see Jake at his place and he got all
• 1:06:45
  the goods on everybody and uh, you know, we, we gotta get this taken care of.
• 1:06:49
  Jessica has basically told him everything and basically screwed Jake
• 1:06:52
  over and Jake's like, look you dumbass.
• 1:06:54
  I work for him.
• 1:06:55
  I work for your stepdad.
• 1:06:57
  He's the one running shit and gets, like, 75 percent of the take on everything.
• 1:07:01
  You basically killed me, and I'm like, Yeah, that's
• 1:07:03
  exactly what she wanted to do.
• 1:07:04
  But she's like, What?
• 1:07:05
  No, I was just trying to get some help.
• 1:07:08
  And I'm like, She might be smart, or she might just be naive.
• 1:07:11
  I don't know.
• 1:07:11
  At this point, I'm like, Whatever.
• 1:07:13
  I don't care for her.
• 1:07:14
  That's when Jeff Bridges calls up Ben.
• 1:07:16
  He's basically like, Look, I got all this stuff.
• 1:07:18
  I don't want to fuck up your spot.
• 1:07:20
  I just want you to take care of Jake, because I hate that.
• 1:07:22
  Fucker and Ben's like, yeah, we could totally do that.
• 1:07:24
  Like, where do you want to do this exchange?
• 1:07:26
  How about the top of Weiler Canyon or what?
• 1:07:28
  You know, the scene from earlier, like, sure.
• 1:07:31
  Why not?
• 1:07:32
  So then we go to Weiler Canyon high atop the Mulholland view
• 1:07:36
  shelf overlooking LA or whatever.
• 1:07:38
  Jake ends up grabbing a gun from Tommy.
• 1:07:40
  Cause Tommy's there too.
• 1:07:41
  Cause Tommy's like Ben's right hand man or Jake's right hand man
• 1:07:44
  or was Jake's, but now Ben's cause Ben gonna kill Jake, whatever.
• 1:07:48
  Yeah, not only that it becomes a super awkward Mexican standoff where
• 1:07:52
  Jeff Bridges isn't even in the scene and he's talking to them from behind
• 1:07:56
  the trees and there's that terrible annoying electric guitar the whole time.
• 1:08:01
  And I'm like, what?
• 1:08:02
  Oh, it was a very bad cinematic.
• 1:08:05
  The optics of the whole thing.
• 1:08:07
  I was like, why did you guys choose to do it this way?
• 1:08:10
  And it wasn't even that like, Classic mobster scene where you've got an old
• 1:08:14
  Lincoln with some shoddy headlights and somebody's standing in the fog And it's
• 1:08:18
  the meeting of the mobsters and you know, somebody's gonna get shot No, it's
• 1:08:21
  jeff bridges sitting in a director's chair with a bullhorn off to the side.
• 1:08:25
  I was like, what is this?
• 1:08:27
  So we see him like running around and Tommy goes to get him.
• 1:08:30
  But then I don't know, he sneaks up on Tommy and gets the gun from him.
• 1:08:34
  Jake's like, fuck this grabs.
• 1:08:36
  Jessica puts the gun to her head and it's like to complete this game.
• 1:08:39
  Fucker.
• 1:08:40
  Just give me the stuff.
• 1:08:41
  And of course, Jeff Bridges was like, no, you know, try me.
• 1:08:44
  James was like, fuck you.
• 1:08:45
  I got nothing to lose.
• 1:08:46
  Push me.
• 1:08:47
  I dare you.
• 1:08:47
  I double dare you.
• 1:08:48
  And then Jessica, because she's Jessica in this movie, is like, No, don't do it!
• 1:08:53
  I love him!
• 1:08:54
  I'm like, you're not helping.
• 1:08:56
  You're not helping anyone right now.
• 1:08:59
  Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
• 1:09:00
  Jessica ended up shooting Jake in the little tussle.
• 1:09:02
  No!
• 1:09:04
  That's two she shot in this movie.
• 1:09:06
  Yep.
• 1:09:07
  But, uh, of course, Ben's like, Yeah, don't worry, it's my stepdaughter,
• 1:09:09
  I'll, uh, take care of it.
• 1:09:10
  Goodbye, Jeff Bridges.
• 1:09:12
  I literally wrote down, Old white guy's gonna do what old white guy's gonna do.
• 1:09:17
  Like, he's gonna clean up the mess.
• 1:09:18
  He's got people on speed dial.
• 1:09:20
  He's gonna take care of business.
• 1:09:21
  Like, don't worry about it, guys.
• 1:09:23
  All right, I'm going to call up Kirsch in the morning.
• 1:09:25
  We'll get this all cleared up.
• 1:09:26
  Like, actually, hold on just a sec.
• 1:09:28
  Maybe you didn't get the memo.
• 1:09:30
  Like, it's not quite Monday morning.
• 1:09:32
  You're going to find out real quick.
• 1:09:34
  When she shot James Woods, then she like goes to like console
• 1:09:37
  and laying there on the ground.
• 1:09:38
  It's like, what the hell is this about?
• 1:09:40
  This bitch is evil.
• 1:09:41
  That's what this is about.
• 1:09:43
  She is mental.
• 1:09:43
  Yeah.
• 1:09:44
  Against all odds she's still alive.
• 1:09:46
  That's the way I look at this movie.
• 1:09:49
  So then we cut to six months later, where they're opening up
• 1:09:53
  the canyon, whatever that means.
• 1:09:54
  Building houses up there?
• 1:09:56
  Like, what are they doing?
• 1:09:57
  And this is where the quote for Mrs.
• 1:09:59
  Wyler comes in that I mentioned before.
• 1:10:01
  She says, it is sanctuary from the crime and crowding from the city below.
• 1:10:06
  Those are her exact words.
• 1:10:08
  And I'm like, Well, ain't that just a turn of events, right?
• 1:10:12
  She says it in the blood puddle still left by James Woods from six months ago.
• 1:10:16
  She's basically standing, yeah, where he was shot and I was like, wow, okay.
• 1:10:20
  You know, Jeff Bridges is there and Ben's like talking to him.
• 1:10:23
  He's like, I'm going to go talk to this fucker.
• 1:10:24
  I'm like, yeah, I heard you got some tryouts for some other teams.
• 1:10:27
  Yeah, I'm going to be playing for the Dolphins next year.
• 1:10:29
  I'm like, Lace is out.
• 1:10:31
  And he's like, yeah, I figure I got a couple more years and
• 1:10:34
  I'll quit on my own terms.
• 1:10:35
  Cool.
• 1:10:36
  Well, you're out of Jessica's life.
• 1:10:37
  And he's like, I don't know, man, you can't protect her forever.
• 1:10:40
  Cue the Phil Collins music and then roll credits for like five
• 1:10:44
  minutes of her Of her just sobbing.
• 1:10:45
  Yeah, Jessica just staring at the camera and sobbing and uh,
• 1:10:50
  Take I was getting awkward.
• 1:10:53
  How long are they gonna let this roll on?
• 1:10:56
  I felt like she was peering into my soul after a while.
• 1:10:59
  Like, it was creepy.
• 1:11:00
  Finally hits freeze frame after like three minutes.
• 1:11:03
  I'm like, that's because immediately after she's like, do we have to take or not?
• 1:11:06
  Like, cut!
• 1:11:07
  You know?
• 1:11:07
  This reminded me of a less good version of the end of Runaway.
• 1:11:11
  Yeah, Runaway where uh, Tom Selleck and the girl are kissing for like
• 1:11:15
  seven full minutes of credits with like fireworks going off in the background.
• 1:11:18
  It's uh, welding.
• 1:11:19
  There's a lot of sparks behind them.
• 1:11:21
  But yeah, guys, that's against all odds.
• 1:11:23
  How many Academy Awards do you think it won?
• 1:11:25
  None.
• 1:11:26
  Negative three.
• 1:11:26
  They took Jeff Bridges Academy Award away 30 years later.
• 1:11:31
  I'm sorry, we still remember.
• 1:11:33
  Never forget the Porsche 911.
• 1:11:35
  Exactly.
• 1:11:35
  Beautiful car.
• 1:11:36
  So would any of us recommend watching this movie?
• 1:11:38
  No, unless you're Jeff Bridges completionist, in which
• 1:11:42
  case you've already seen it.
• 1:11:43
  I liked the shots in Tulum except for the, you know, the
• 1:11:46
  fucking in the ancient ruins.
• 1:11:47
  But you know, that was, Oh, you mean especially the fucking in the ancient?
• 1:11:50
  Or I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, just Google that shit.
• 1:11:52
  Just look up the car chase, the car chase.
• 1:11:54
  This isn't even like the best of James Woods.
• 1:11:58
  If he was allowed to go wild on this, it would have.
• 1:12:01
  Giving it an extra star.
• 1:12:03
  You're saying earlier, Izzy, how he's like a creep.
• 1:12:05
  There were certain parts where it really came out, but like you were
• 1:12:08
  saying, he didn't go full fledge with it to where I think it would've made
• 1:12:11
  his character much more sinister.
• 1:12:13
  But there were certain parts where like little things he said and like, look, it
• 1:12:15
  was like he come across as a major creep.
• 1:12:17
  What I recommend this.
• 1:12:18
  What is the other alternative?
• 1:12:21
  Not recommending this movie, I don't know, or recommending a
• 1:12:24
  better movie of similar bullshit.
• 1:12:27
  I mean, is it like this or The Stuntman?
• 1:12:29
  Oh, fuck yeah, Stuntman's a great movie.
• 1:12:32
  Cause then I recommend this one.
• 1:12:34
  Yes!
• 1:12:35
  Yes.
• 1:12:36
  Wow.
• 1:12:36
  Really compared to yes.
• 1:12:38
  I was waiting for this landmine to be tripped because the last time we got
• 1:12:42
  together, we talked about the stunt man and then I was so, so that's right.
• 1:12:46
  You were all wrong and hated it.
• 1:12:48
  I know.
• 1:12:48
  And Izzy corrected me and it was all good.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah.
• 1:12:51
  Yeah.
• 1:12:52
  I actually really liked this movie and I would watch it again because
• 1:12:56
  I think I missed some things now knowing what I know about it.
• 1:12:59
  And there's a special extra when we get to the, what did we learn?
• 1:13:03
  Which.
• 1:13:03
  I'll come full circle on this as to why I really enjoyed this movie and
• 1:13:07
  why I think I need to watch it again.
• 1:13:09
  That's what we call a tease, everybody.
• 1:13:11
  But hey, basically what I heard Eric say is this is his trading paint.
• 1:13:15
  Yeah.
• 1:13:17
  Oh, I will watch it one more time.
• 1:13:19
  Not nine more times like you did anybody interested in some
• 1:13:24
  fun facts about this movie?
• 1:13:26
  Yes, please.
• 1:13:26
  Oh, I don't know.
• 1:13:27
  Steve.
• 1:13:27
  Are they?
• 1:13:28
  Fun facts.
• 1:13:29
  Super fun facts.
• 1:13:30
  Cause fun, fun facts.
• 1:13:32
  Rotten Tomatoes, what do you think the critics thought of this movie?
• 1:13:36
  Like what percentage of them thought this was a good movie and recommend it?
• 1:13:40
  12 percent.
• 1:13:40
  42.
• 1:13:41
  I was thinking maybe like 22, 23.
• 1:13:43
  Do the critics think of this movie?
• 1:13:45
  They absolutely do.
• 1:13:45
  This was a big release in 84.
• 1:13:47
  All right, I am gonna go with my super generous 17 percent.
• 1:13:51
  Ladies and gentlemen, Against All Odds is rated fresh at
• 1:13:56
  64 percent with the critics.
• 1:13:58
  Oh.
• 1:13:58
  Eric, you win.
• 1:14:00
  I am the wrong woman.
• 1:14:01
  But, unfortunately, nobody gives a fuck about the critics.
• 1:14:04
  Oh, fuck those critics.
• 1:14:04
  What about the audience score?
• 1:14:06
  I'm thinking it's probably pretty high too.
• 1:14:08
  Probably in the 60s as well.
• 1:14:10
  You're crazy.
• 1:14:11
  Here's the problem.
• 1:14:12
  How many women watch this?
• 1:14:14
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:15
  At least half , half of all women, or half of all votes were women.
• 1:14:19
  At least not half of all votes are women or just half of all women.
• 1:14:22
  Women.
• 1:14:22
  What I That's some solid science right there.
• 1:14:25
  Yeah.
• 1:14:25
  73%.
• 1:14:27
  I'm gonna say like 38.
• 1:14:28
  I'm gonna go with the funniest answer.
• 1:14:30
  69.
• 1:14:31
  Really nice.
• 1:14:33
  , Dan, you win 45% with the audience, which makes sense to me.
• 1:14:38
  Yeah, that feels more correct because, uh, 90% of chicks am I right?
• 1:14:42
  I mentioned earlier the budget.
• 1:14:43
  $13 million worldwide gross.
• 1:14:46
  21.7.
• 1:14:47
  I think the Phil Collin song made more money.
• 1:14:49
  That's a moneymaker.
• 1:14:50
  That's good with advertising.
• 1:14:52
  That I'd say that's a wash.
• 1:14:53
  Maybe it's a wash.
• 1:14:54
  Yeah.
• 1:14:55
  I mean, they got four bucks for me out of Voodoo.
• 1:14:57
  So I mean, to watch this thing, this movie is a remake.
• 1:14:59
  Yes.
• 1:15:00
  Thank you.
• 1:15:00
  What of 1940 sevens out of the past, a notable film noir starring Robert
• 1:15:06
  Mitcham, Kirk Douglas and Jane Greer.
• 1:15:10
  Anybody notice her name in the credits when it started?
• 1:15:12
  She's Mrs.
• 1:15:13
  Weiler.
• 1:15:14
  Yep, she's the mom.
• 1:15:16
  Oh!
• 1:15:17
  But she was the daughter in the original.
• 1:15:19
  Made a scant 37 years before.
• 1:15:21
  That was my super fun little teaser there.
• 1:15:23
  I loved finding out that this was a remake because it proves that even 40 years ago,
• 1:15:29
  remakes Sucked, but it also allowed me to go back and start watching the original
• 1:15:35
  movie, which is available for free on HBO max or max or whatever they're calling it.
• 1:15:39
  Now, I can see where they pulled some threads because of post
• 1:15:43
  war movie from the forties.
• 1:15:45
  Isn't going to have the same sort of cliches and these tropes that
• 1:15:48
  we're used to in the eighties.
• 1:15:49
  Wait, Kirk Douglas wasn't raw dog and Jane Greer in the ancient ruins
• 1:15:54
  of, I'm just going to say, uh, Anasazi tribal site or something.
• 1:15:59
  No.
• 1:16:01
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:16:04
  But no, there are those threads of the stolen money and the runaway
• 1:16:08
  girl and all these kinds of things.
• 1:16:09
  And so I haven't completely finished watching it yet, which again, gives me
• 1:16:13
  incentive to watch the original and then go rewatch the remake with now a more
• 1:16:17
  discerning eye to see how close they did an approximation or as a reboot.
• 1:16:23
  of the original so that gives me that motivation to watch it at least one more
• 1:16:27
  time just to draw those parallels or to come to the conclusion that it actually
• 1:16:30
  sucks more than you initially think no but we are due for a third reboot so let's
• 1:16:35
  guess what they'll call the next one oh it'll be against all odds amenable star
• 1:16:39
  nicholas holt in the jeff bridges role god who's our new james woods oh army
• 1:16:46
  hammer fucking army hammer kevin spacey is the stepdad And Nicolas Cage is gonna
• 1:16:52
  try to find his way into this movie.
• 1:16:54
  Oh shit, Nicolas Cage is Jake.
• 1:16:56
  Yeah.
• 1:16:57
  Heck yeah, dude.
• 1:16:58
  You know that or he's Sully.
• 1:16:59
  They're fucking on top of the terracotta warriors in Xi'an in the People's
• 1:17:03
  Republic of China and then Nicolas Cage pops up and is like, Le jour!
• 1:17:09
  And you remember there's the like oldest human burial mounds.
• 1:17:14
  In the, all of North America are used for like tailgate parties for some college.
• 1:17:19
  Oh shit.
• 1:17:20
  But the most important part in our recasting of this film, of the same
• 1:17:23
  name for the third time, can we get Kid Creole and the unshaven coconuts
• 1:17:28
  back on stage for a reprisal?
• 1:17:31
  Yeah, played by Lou Bega.
• 1:17:33
  Mambo number five.
• 1:17:35
  Some unshaven French chicks.
• 1:17:37
  It doesn't have to be played by anyone.
• 1:17:39
  He's still alive.
• 1:17:40
  What?
• 1:17:40
  Yes.
• 1:17:40
  But he's no longer a kid.
• 1:17:42
  So he's got like granddaddy Creole or something like that.
• 1:17:44
  Right?
• 1:17:45
  August Darnell.
• 1:17:46
  He's still alive.
• 1:17:47
  Here you go, babe.
• 1:17:48
  If you want to keep your movie all in the U S in Louisiana, the native
• 1:17:52
  American mounds, AKA known as the Indian mounds date back to 11, 000 years ago.
• 1:17:58
  They're the oldest man made structure on the North American continent.
• 1:18:02
  They also happen to be just outside of LSU's.
• 1:18:06
  That sounds like an LSU thing for tailgate parties.
• 1:18:08
  LSU's stadium, and they are collapsing under the weight of the tailgate parties.
• 1:18:14
  There seems to be no plan in place to save them.
• 1:18:17
  There were 8, 000 mounds, but they destroyed most of
• 1:18:20
  them to build the LSU campus.
• 1:18:23
  Go Tigers!
• 1:18:24
  And that's, of course, go G E A U X, Tigers.
• 1:18:27
  Mm hmm.
• 1:18:27
  Hehehehehehe.
• 1:18:29
  The last little fun one I definitely want to get out there is, the movie
• 1:18:31
  was, of course, shot in Mexico, right?
• 1:18:33
  It was while Rachel Ward was on her honeymoon.
• 1:18:36
  Think about that for a second, because she had fantastic chemistry with
• 1:18:39
  her co star Jeff Bridges, where?
• 1:18:41
  That wasn't on film.
• 1:18:42
  And they had pretty torrid sex scenes.
• 1:18:44
  Quote, It was a particularly bizarre shoot for us.
• 1:18:47
  Luckily, her husband, Brian Brown, is also a wonderful actor and was very
• 1:18:51
  understanding, Jeff Bridges says.
• 1:18:53
  Mm hmm.
• 1:18:53
  So guys, what did we learn from Against All Odds?
• 1:18:57
  Ah, what did we learn?
• 1:18:59
  What did we learn, guys?
• 1:19:01
  Not getting that time of my life back.
• 1:19:03
  I learned that Samoyeds hate beach volleyball.
• 1:19:05
  That's true.
• 1:19:06
  I learned Mayan football rules are really different from American football.
• 1:19:11
  I don't know what I learned from this.
• 1:19:12
  Didn't you have a big revelation you were teasing earlier?
• 1:19:14
  It was, it was a remake.
• 1:19:16
  That was what I had learned.
• 1:19:18
  That was my big thing.
• 1:19:18
  That was your big revelation?
• 1:19:20
  That it was, okay.
• 1:19:21
  I thought I was holding that card to myself.
• 1:19:23
  Like, Oh, I did all this research.
• 1:19:26
  He worked so hard for that baby.
• 1:19:28
  You just blew it.
• 1:19:29
  You just blew it.
• 1:19:30
  Well, I guess I learned where the ginger man is officially, and it's not in LA.
• 1:19:36
  Well, guys, well, yeah, thanks for watching this movie with us.
• 1:19:39
  I mean, I'm sorry you guys didn't enjoy it as much as we did just by how insane.
• 1:19:44
  Oh, I didn't hate it.
• 1:19:46
  I mean, there's far worse things in that movie.
• 1:19:48
  There's a lot better things too.
• 1:19:52
  I enjoyed it.
• 1:19:53
  I love getting together with you guys to review movies.
• 1:19:55
  I don't know what we're going to do next time.
• 1:19:57
  This was a good, nobody seen it movie.
• 1:20:00
  So we can come at it fresh, completely unbiased and add some actors.
• 1:20:04
  That we like in it that we knew.
• 1:20:05
  So that made it more fun and all the factoids that go along with it.
• 1:20:09
  But for those of you that are listening to this, maybe the first time and never
• 1:20:13
  have heard of everything I learned for movies, Steven, is he tell everybody
• 1:20:16
  where they can learn about your show?
• 1:20:18
  Oh, well, of course you can find us on all the major podcatchers under
• 1:20:20
  everything I learned from movies.
• 1:20:22
  We watch bad to questionable movies and just basically explain
• 1:20:25
  like what we learned from them.
• 1:20:27
  Because movies have lessons.
• 1:20:28
  Yeah.
• 1:20:28
  There's lessons to be learned.
• 1:20:30
  And we also just love movies.
• 1:20:31
  So it's like, even if it's like.
• 1:20:32
  Some parts are cool and the rest of it's crap.
• 1:20:35
  We can kind of help with that.
• 1:20:36
  Oh, guys, we love movies.
• 1:20:38
  And we also talk about beer because we also like beer and
• 1:20:41
  our BJCP certified beer judges.
• 1:20:43
  Yeah.
• 1:20:45
  How can you reach us, Steve?
• 1:20:46
  Well, you can hit us up on Twitter, Facebook, and Patreon at EILFmovies.

  That's everything I learned from movies.
• 1:20:53
  But babe, can we find you on social media at all?
• 1:20:56
  Nope, I can't be found.
• 1:20:58
  Liar!
• 1:20:58
  Oh wait, yeah, you can find me everywhere at Untidy Venus.
• 1:21:02
  That's a goddess who's bad at housekeeping.
• 1:21:03
  You can find a bunch of my cool art, all kinds of stuff.
• 1:21:06
  I'm everywhere at Untidy Venus.
• 1:21:08
  Where can we find you guys?
• 1:21:09
  Man, I wish I had a catchy jingle like you guys.
• 1:21:11
  You guys got to learn to sing is a little during motorsports breaks.
• 1:21:15
  Hey, that's good.
• 1:21:16
  I'm going to use that.
• 1:21:17
  But for those of you listening to us on E I L F M or the first time,
• 1:21:22
  although we've gotten together many times over the last couple of years,
• 1:21:25
  we are available everywhere in the planet where good podcasts and rubbish
• 1:21:28
  ones like ours exist as well at grand touring motorsports or search.
• 1:21:33
  break, fix podcast.
• 1:21:34
  Our mission is to shed light on something we call the autosphere.
• 1:21:38
  Part of our major goal is to capture the living history of different people
• 1:21:43
  and expose that to some younger petrol heads out there that they want to learn
• 1:21:46
  how to become that person or how to get that job or how to do that thing.
• 1:21:49
  So we're always interested in car adjacent stories, or even talking
• 1:21:53
  about movies like this with a great.
• 1:21:55
  Car chase scene in it and picking out and doing a little bit of car spotting,
• 1:21:59
  but having a lot of fun along the way.
• 1:22:00
  So it's not your, you know, typical, you know, we're going to review
• 1:22:03
  the race show or talk about history on this date and in this place.
• 1:22:06
  And this time it's really a lot of fun and we love crossing over with Steven Izzy.
• 1:22:10
  So thanks for having us again.
• 1:22:11
