00:00.960 --> 00:01.920
Give me that baby.

00:03.840 --> 00:05.120
I want that baby.

00:08.240 --> 00:10.720
Give me that baby, you warthog from hell.

00:13.120 --> 00:16.600
It's two Dads one Movie. It's the podcast where two middle aged

00:17.100 --> 00:20.720
dads sit around and shoot the shit about the movies of the 80s and 90s.

00:20.880 --> 00:24.080
Here are your hosts, Steve Paulo and Nick Brianna.

00:24.960 --> 00:28.120
Hello, everybody. It's another episode of 2 Dads 1 Movie.

00:28.620 --> 00:32.030
I'm Steve. And I'm Nick. And. And today we are continuing down the pathway of

00:32.530 --> 00:35.990
cagevember, which is super exciting, and we have

00:36.490 --> 00:39.990
got a whole new, amazing Nicolas Cage centered film

00:40.490 --> 00:42.230
to talk to you all about from an earlier part of his career. Actually,

00:42.390 --> 00:45.470
absolutely not from the mid-90s that we spent the last

00:45.970 --> 00:48.950
couple weeks at with the Rock and before that, Con Air. But this time we're

00:49.450 --> 00:52.950
going to look at Raising Arizona, starring Cage and Holly Hunter.

00:53.350 --> 00:56.590
And it's the second feature film from the Coen brothers, who would go on.

00:57.090 --> 01:00.380
To do amazing stuff. A number of ridiculously good

01:00.880 --> 01:04.820
things over the years. Personally from the Coens, I was never

01:05.320 --> 01:08.460
as into this movie, and I'll get into why in a second as some

01:08.960 --> 01:12.140
of the other ones. I love Big Lebowski. Yeah, that was huge for our

01:12.640 --> 01:16.260
age range too. And oh, Brother, Where Art Thou? Was fantastic, but this

01:16.760 --> 01:20.540
was also really good. So, Nick, you picked Raising Arizona for us. Tell us a

01:21.040 --> 01:24.100
little bit about your history with it. Yeah, so I have actually only seen this

01:24.600 --> 01:26.820
once, and I think I'm kind of the same as you. I enjoy the Coen

01:27.320 --> 01:30.960
Brothers work. This movie. People rave about this movie. This isn't

01:31.460 --> 01:35.160
uncovering a undiscovered gem or anything. This is thought of as

01:35.660 --> 01:39.040
a great film, and I thought it would be fun to kind of juxtapose along

01:39.540 --> 01:43.400
with our other Nicolas Cage cagevember selections. And kind of is

01:43.900 --> 01:46.160
a little bit of a change of pace from the last two with Con Air

01:46.240 --> 01:49.600
and the Rock, where we had Nicolas Cage being

01:50.100 --> 01:52.640
in some sort of a prison at some point, and in this movie, he.

01:53.440 --> 01:56.720
Darn, so many prisons. More Cage in a cage.

01:57.220 --> 01:59.890
No. So I just thought it would be fun to go to a different kind

02:00.390 --> 02:03.450
of phase of his career and see if maybe we're seeing the same things about

02:03.950 --> 02:07.370
him. Nice. Because the other movies were one year after another or like the same

02:07.870 --> 02:11.770
year or something. So, yeah, I thought it would be interesting. And the cast is

02:12.270 --> 02:15.610
killer, and the pedigree of this film speaks for itself.

02:16.110 --> 02:18.970
So I'm looking forward to chat about it, but I'm not super familiar with it,

02:19.470 --> 02:22.130
so I'm kind of coming in as a semi new person here. That's cool.

02:22.630 --> 02:25.770
Yeah. When you recommended this movie for us, I was like, oh, cool. Raising Arizona.

02:26.270 --> 02:29.040
Like, awesome Coen Brothers. This will be so much fun. Boy, I haven't seen it

02:29.540 --> 02:31.160
in a long time. And then as I'm watching it, I go, oh, no,

02:31.660 --> 02:34.200
I've never actually seen this movie all the way through. So I watched it like

02:34.700 --> 02:37.120
three or four days ago, and that was actually the first time I'd ever watched

02:37.620 --> 02:40.400
it all the way through. So this will be an interesting, you know, sort of

02:40.900 --> 02:44.640
conversation, I think both of us coming in with more maybe experience around Cage

02:45.140 --> 02:48.840
and around the Cohen's than this film in particular. It was really interesting

02:49.340 --> 02:53.520
even just coming into it and thinking through comparing this to other Coen brothers movies

02:54.020 --> 02:56.950
and other Nicholas Cage performances and seeing, you know,

02:57.450 --> 02:59.710
where things line up and where they're different. And I think that's going to make

03:00.210 --> 03:03.510
for. For a really interesting conversation. Cool. All right, let's jump into the facts.

03:04.010 --> 03:07.390
Yeah, let's look at some facts on Raising Arizona. So Raising Arizona was released

03:07.890 --> 03:11.350
on March 13, 1987 with a PG13 rating.

03:11.669 --> 03:14.830
It has a running time of 94 minutes. Directed by, I think

03:15.330 --> 03:17.870
in the credits we said it was just Joel Cohen listed and then Ethan Cohen

03:18.370 --> 03:21.670
is a producer. Yes, I believe so. But on IMDb they do list both Joel

03:22.170 --> 03:25.770
and Ethan as directors. So they both directed, maybe sort of written by.

03:25.850 --> 03:29.050
Flip the names around. Ethan Coen and Joel Cohen. Nice work. It's kind of how

03:29.550 --> 03:33.210
the Coen brothers always operated, at least until recently. Good for them. Yeah. Starring Nicolas

03:33.710 --> 03:36.570
Cage, Holly Hunter and John Goodman. I was actually surprised. I did not remember how

03:36.810 --> 03:40.450
much John Goodman is in this, which is great because Goodman in Coen

03:40.950 --> 03:44.050
brothers movies is like peak height of Goodman's work. Yeah,

03:44.550 --> 03:46.890
the perfect fit for him. Absolutely. Rotten tomatoes.

03:47.210 --> 03:51.100
91% fresh on rotten tomatoes. Critics love this in general.

03:51.600 --> 03:54.980
IMDb gave it a 7.3 over time. That's a very respectable score

03:55.480 --> 03:58.980
from IMDb. Our buddies Siskel and Ebert, we got a thumbs up from Gene Siskel

03:59.480 --> 04:02.340
and a thumbs down from Roger Ebert. What is going on, Rog?

04:02.840 --> 04:06.220
Yeah, so I actually looked at Roger's review because I was surprised to see

04:06.720 --> 04:09.420
that. And he. And I think they rate them out of five on his website

04:09.920 --> 04:11.620
or whatever. Out of four. Okay, so it was one and a half out of

04:12.120 --> 04:15.860
four that he gave. And his big beef with it was the dialogue.

04:16.350 --> 04:20.030
He felt like it was unrealistic that all the characters have such,

04:20.530 --> 04:23.950
you know, extensive vocabularies and everything. But it's like. Yeah, but you didn't

04:24.450 --> 04:26.510
know the Coen Brothers yet because that's kind of what they do in a lot

04:27.010 --> 04:30.910
of situations. And I've never seen Blood simple, which is the first Coen Brothers feature.

04:31.150 --> 04:34.710
So I don't know if the same vibe kind

04:35.210 --> 04:37.430
of plays through that movie in the same sort of. Yeah, like, cadence to the

04:37.930 --> 04:41.310
characters and the kind of cartoonishness of them, if that's in Blood simple as well.

04:41.880 --> 04:45.280
But it certainly is prevalent in every Coen Brothers movie after this

04:45.780 --> 04:49.160
one, for sure. You know, that's. It's very much their style. But care not.

04:49.660 --> 04:53.040
Not for Raj, apparently. The film did not win any awards and didn't

04:53.540 --> 04:56.400
get any major nominations that I was aware of, so there's that. On a $6

04:56.900 --> 04:59.960
million budget, however, it pulled in $29 million at the box office, which is,

05:00.460 --> 05:03.800
you know, small potatoes, but almost five times what it costs. So congratulations.

05:03.960 --> 05:08.160
Cohen's not surprising why they continued to get booked and got

05:08.660 --> 05:11.640
to make movies that they wanted to make. That's. That's good stuff. So. All right,

05:12.140 --> 05:15.800
man, you want to kick us off? Yeah, let's get into it. And I

05:16.300 --> 05:19.880
was delighted throughout the first 10 minutes of this movie with

05:20.380 --> 05:23.920
the voiceover narration kind of getting us up to speed with who our characters

05:24.420 --> 05:26.880
are and how they end up in the situation they begin in.

05:27.920 --> 05:31.360
And we have this great montage where, Hai, who's Nicolas

05:31.860 --> 05:35.600
Cage's character, and he's a petty criminal,

05:35.840 --> 05:39.350
kind of a doofus who keeps, you know, doing dumb stick ups and getting caught

05:39.850 --> 05:43.710
for whatever goes into jail. He's getting his mugshot taken by a very serious

05:44.210 --> 05:47.870
woman police officer and turned to the right, you know, and he's immediately

05:48.370 --> 05:50.630
smitten by her. You could tell he's really flirty with her and everything.

05:51.190 --> 05:54.470
And she's all business. It's kind of funny. He asked what her name is.

05:54.710 --> 05:58.310
She goes, ed. And he's

05:58.810 --> 06:01.630
like, well, Ed. That's a strange name for a woman. She's like, short for Ed.

06:02.130 --> 06:05.970
We need to turn to the right. All business and everything. So we

06:06.470 --> 06:08.770
have this scene of kind of his life, you know, going in and out of

06:09.270 --> 06:12.450
prison. So he gets his mug shot, then he's in prison, and then he's in

06:12.950 --> 06:16.050
the prison counseling session, which is a really entertaining thing to see.

06:16.550 --> 06:19.210
Yes. And then he'd be in front of the parole board, and then it would

06:19.710 --> 06:22.730
show him kind of how he gets back into prison getting his mug shot again.

06:23.230 --> 06:25.570
So this goes on for about, you know, five minutes here at the beginning,

06:26.070 --> 06:28.970
and it's really delightful. Absolutely. And I think a few things to point out.

06:29.470 --> 06:32.890
One, clearly I don't know about current state of Arizona criminal law, but apparently

06:33.390 --> 06:36.610
no three strikes laws in Arizona in the 80s. Yeah. Because these were.

06:36.990 --> 06:40.470
Sheriff Joe Arpaio came in because these are clearly felonies.

06:40.970 --> 06:43.950
Although we do get high does mention specifically that the gun that he uses,

06:44.030 --> 06:47.630
has always used in his stick up robberies of convenience stores is never loaded.

06:47.870 --> 06:51.470
That way he can't actually get busted for armed robbery or at

06:51.970 --> 06:56.190
least not for, you know, the, the kind of additions to

06:56.690 --> 06:59.990
sentencing you would get from using a weapon in crime. Right, so, so there's that

07:00.490 --> 07:02.510
which is. I don't know if that's, I'm not a lawyer, I don't know if

07:03.010 --> 07:05.270
that's legit or was back then, but it certainly is true in the story.

07:05.770 --> 07:08.450
Good enough for this film, right? Yeah, exactly. So. So, yeah, so he is a

07:08.950 --> 07:12.810
bit of a recidivist, which for the parole board tells us specifically that as

07:13.310 --> 07:16.490
he keeps going in and out. One thing I'll note as well, just having watched

07:16.990 --> 07:20.290
Con Air, this accent by Nicholas Cage, far superior and

07:20.790 --> 07:24.050
much more pleasant and it's still got a bit of that southern, you know,

07:24.550 --> 07:26.970
and it is a little more southwestern, a little closer to Texas, you know,

07:27.470 --> 07:30.130
kind of style, but it's, it's, but it's a good job.

07:30.930 --> 07:34.610
Yeah, exactly. So why couldn't he just do his, his high

07:34.690 --> 07:38.090
voice in Con Air? I don't know, but it would have. Been funny if he

07:38.590 --> 07:42.070
was just, if high. Just like if Cameron Poe and Con Air

07:42.570 --> 07:46.190
was just an older version of high. Like he got,

07:46.690 --> 07:50.510
he like went straight by going to the Rangers or. Yeah, it exists in the

07:51.010 --> 07:54.590
same universe. Yeah. A couple things to point out here. So in the prison

07:55.090 --> 07:58.310
counseling session, we're introduced to a couple of other fellow prisoners who were

07:58.810 --> 08:02.310
kind of his buddies in jail. Right. And it's William Forsyth and John Goodman.

08:02.810 --> 08:05.070
That's right. And they're. I forget the names, I'm just going to call them the

08:05.570 --> 08:09.720
jailbirds, whatever. His buddies, the brothers. There's a really funny line where the

08:10.220 --> 08:13.880
counselor's asking, telling them that if you want a life and

08:14.380 --> 08:17.280
a family, jail should not be an acceptable option for you.

08:17.440 --> 08:20.920
And John Goodman says something like, well, some of us just have

08:21.420 --> 08:22.880
to sometimes put career ahead of family.

08:25.520 --> 08:28.960
So. Yeah, I mean, the way this kind of self awareness that even the

08:29.460 --> 08:32.480
supposedly dumbest characters have is very fun in this film.

08:32.980 --> 08:36.489
Absolutely. And we should point out we saw William Forsyth last week in

08:36.989 --> 08:40.329
the Rock. That's a very different role. Ten years after this or nine years

08:40.829 --> 08:43.089
after this or whatever like that. But it's just so funny to think of the

08:43.589 --> 08:46.929
characters in these two movies. They were so different from each other. Oh, absolutely.

08:47.429 --> 08:51.169
And played so differently in such range. Very interesting. But, yeah, so.

08:51.669 --> 08:54.769
Yeah. So one of the times that that High goes back into jail,

08:55.089 --> 08:58.569
poor Ed is bawling. She's clearly been crying. You know, she's trying to hold it

08:59.069 --> 09:01.409
back because she's trying to be professional, but she's crying. He asks, you know,

09:01.909 --> 09:04.960
what happened, you know, whatever. And she goes, my finance left me. I love the

09:05.460 --> 09:09.600
way she says, it's fantastic. Really good. So. But. But this, you know, clearly the

09:10.100 --> 09:12.760
High sees this as an in. Right? Like, and he. And he tells her,

09:13.260 --> 09:15.480
like, tell me who he is. I'll tell him what an idiot he is.

09:15.640 --> 09:18.680
Deal. And she kind of, like, goes, oh, maybe this guy's not so bad.

09:19.180 --> 09:21.280
And he's obviously is a handsome dude. You know, he's got a full head of

09:21.780 --> 09:24.280
hair. You know, I'm sure the standards couldn't have been that high in Arizona in

09:24.780 --> 09:28.240
the late 80s, so. Sure. Yeah. What the heck? I mean, he. A little bit

09:28.740 --> 09:32.930
of the bad boy stuff, you know? Yeah, yeah. So he

09:33.430 --> 09:36.570
ends up, you know, he goes into jail again. And it also shows a scene

09:37.070 --> 09:39.290
of him, like, laying on the bottom bunk while his bunk mate on the top

09:39.790 --> 09:43.050
bunk is just rattling off all this nonsense, which is kind of a precursor to

09:43.550 --> 09:47.530
Bubba in Forrest Gump, Baby O in Con Air.

09:47.610 --> 09:50.890
I think these movies exist in the same universe. Oh, man. So connected.

09:52.010 --> 09:55.210
So. But he kind of makes a decision, like, kind of based on, I'm in

09:55.710 --> 09:58.530
love with this woman and this guy's boring the shit out of me. I'm not

09:59.030 --> 10:01.590
coming back to jail. And he finally gets paroled again,

10:03.110 --> 10:07.790
and he goes straight to the booking right

10:08.290 --> 10:12.230
to the police station there. The intake. Yeah, exactly. And immediately proposes to

10:12.730 --> 10:16.070
Ed. And then while he's doing that, he turns to the guy who's currently getting

10:16.570 --> 10:20.190
his mugshot taken and being like, oh, hey, Greg. Like, just so casually,

10:20.690 --> 10:23.910
really funny. Oh, man. So, yeah, so he gets a real job.

10:24.070 --> 10:27.290
Hi and Ed get together, they get married, and hi has to, you know,

10:27.790 --> 10:30.050
he's not going to knock up convenience stores anymore. So he's got a real job

10:30.550 --> 10:32.530
working at. Looks like maybe like a metal sheet. Metal sheet. Metal plane. Right.

10:33.030 --> 10:35.450
That's something like that. And I love it because he's chit chatting with this guy,

10:35.530 --> 10:39.250
the thing and that. We saw him in another 2Dads episode. He was the

10:39.750 --> 10:43.970
doctor in Fletch that's right. Right. Who gave the. The anal exam?

10:44.470 --> 10:48.250
Rectal exam, I guess, to. To Mr. Babar. But yeah,

10:48.750 --> 10:52.330
so that's good. And then. And then I believe it's shortly after that point

10:52.830 --> 10:56.510
we actually get a title card. Well, so leading up to this, two things I

10:57.010 --> 10:59.630
want to point out. One is the wedding scene is very funny because it's just

11:00.130 --> 11:04.150
like three straight, like very brief one second shots. And it's just, I do.

11:04.390 --> 11:07.910
And then Nick Cage says, you bet I do. And then the priest just says,

11:08.410 --> 11:11.270
okay, then. Okay then. And so he says,

11:11.990 --> 11:15.030
hai says having a critter was the next logical step.

11:15.530 --> 11:18.830
And he's talking about how they're trying to have a kid and they're unsuccessful with

11:19.330 --> 11:23.120
that. That's right. She comes home from work, she's crying,

11:24.400 --> 11:28.600
and he's like, what's wrong? She said, I'm barren. So it shows the doctors pointing

11:29.100 --> 11:32.280
to this diagram of the reproductive system. And this is the quote that I love

11:32.780 --> 11:36.840
from high so much. He says, the doctor explained that her insides were a rocky

11:37.340 --> 11:40.600
place where my seed could find no purchase. Like,

11:41.100 --> 11:44.880
God damn, such Coen brothers. Would you look, you stop for a second.

11:44.960 --> 11:47.760
And you know, like I said, I was watching this going, I think I'd seen

11:48.260 --> 11:50.640
this opening before, but like, generally speaking, I'm not super familiar with the movie,

11:51.140 --> 11:54.880
so I was like, enjoying it as like a fresh watch. But lots of

11:55.380 --> 11:58.920
context from future Coen brothers stuff and like the similarities in

11:59.420 --> 12:02.640
just the way these people are talking to Big Lebowski and Fargo. And I felt

12:03.140 --> 12:06.560
especially, oh, brother, where art thou? Right. Which even though that was deliberately set back

12:07.060 --> 12:10.280
in like the twenties or the thirties of the Great Depression. Right. Like, you know,

12:10.780 --> 12:15.570
much, much further in the past of this movie. There's just so many hints

12:16.070 --> 12:19.290
at what's to come kind of from the Coen brothers imagination in this

12:19.790 --> 12:23.170
movie. And certainly the purple prose of these characters

12:23.250 --> 12:26.490
is a big part of that. Yeah. But. Yeah, so after they find out they

12:26.990 --> 12:30.170
can't have kids, that's when we get the title card, which is 11 minutes

12:30.670 --> 12:32.650
into the movie. I had to go back and look because we've had a lot

12:33.150 --> 12:35.730
of like, cold opens. Like, I realized we've a ton of movies that have had

12:36.230 --> 12:39.170
cold opens. Right. The Fugitive had a cold open. You know, Con Air had a

12:39.670 --> 12:43.240
cold open. You know, Demolition man has a cold open. Right. This was

12:43.740 --> 12:47.560
an 11 minute long cold open. Crazy. It's almost like a short film leading up

12:48.060 --> 12:51.480
to this film. It's like the prequel. They just put it at the beginning of

12:51.980 --> 12:54.720
the Movie to get us all set up. But. Yeah, but basically that brings us

12:55.220 --> 12:58.440
to, you know, the, the existence of these two.

12:58.940 --> 13:01.480
They have this like kind of double wide trailer they live in. And they're drifting

13:01.980 --> 13:05.720
apart, you know, throughout this, you know, lack of success and trying to conceive

13:06.220 --> 13:08.560
and everything. Wanting to have kids was huge for both of them. And so,

13:08.880 --> 13:12.140
yeah, it really puts a strain on their relationship and.

13:12.380 --> 13:16.220
Yeah. And that's when we find out about the Arizona Quints.

13:16.720 --> 13:19.780
Yes. So Ed and hi are just kind of like slumped on the couch eating

13:20.280 --> 13:23.380
off a TV tray. It's just the classic relationship that's not going

13:23.880 --> 13:27.420
well. View. And on the TV comes this

13:27.920 --> 13:30.780
big news story that there were quintuplets born to the Arizona family.

13:31.420 --> 13:34.700
And it's a big deal and they get the idea.

13:35.180 --> 13:38.900
And the Arizonas are rich people, basically. Nathan Arizona

13:39.400 --> 13:42.760
and his wife, whose name I forget now, but whatever.

13:42.840 --> 13:46.480
Nathan Arizona owns and runs the Unpainted Arizona,

13:46.980 --> 13:51.360
which is like the state's largest retail store specifically

13:51.860 --> 13:55.720
for unpainted wood furniture. I believe it's very specific. But he's got this saying

13:56.220 --> 13:58.440
where he always says on his commercials, you know, like, you get the best price

13:58.940 --> 14:01.480
here or my name isn't Nathan Arizona. Yeah. And of course the funny part we

14:01.980 --> 14:04.880
find out later is he changed his name to Nathan Arizona. Really good. But yeah,

14:05.380 --> 14:07.760
very funny, Very funny guy. But they kind of see this and they go,

14:08.260 --> 14:11.560
man, that's not fun. Like, why should they have five babies

14:12.060 --> 14:16.080
and we can't even have one? Right? And then we're shown the Arizonas

14:16.160 --> 14:19.640
sitting there and it's set up, you know, just like a stage play, basically like

14:20.140 --> 14:23.600
an unmoving scene where they're both on their chairs. It's settled in for the night.

14:24.100 --> 14:28.360
She's sitting there reading Dr. Spock's like baby care book. And he's

14:28.860 --> 14:32.720
just yelling at people on the phone like businessmen do. There's one really funny thing

14:33.220 --> 14:37.060
because it gives us the location. Yeah. And then he's

14:37.560 --> 14:41.020
talking to somebody on the phone and then it says 8:45pm and right as he's

14:41.520 --> 14:44.540
saying, oh, what time is it? It's 8:45. Like he says it right after.

14:44.780 --> 14:48.140
It's really just a funny. A funny way to do that.

14:49.340 --> 14:52.540
Yeah. And they're hearing noises upstairs because,

14:53.420 --> 14:56.780
well, somebody's there. Yeah. Right. And. And so

14:57.280 --> 14:59.300
there's a lot of bouncing and banging and we cut up to the top before

14:59.800 --> 15:02.780
the Arizona's make any real reaction. But we got up to the top and it's

15:03.280 --> 15:06.900
high, high is up in the nursery, there's this enormous. Looks like something out

15:07.400 --> 15:10.780
of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, like, huge bed for like five wide crib,

15:11.280 --> 15:14.460
you know, Five wide crib. And it's got the baby's names on it. And for

15:14.960 --> 15:17.980
whatever reason, their names are Harry, Barry, Gary,

15:18.460 --> 15:20.620
Larry and Nathan Junior.

15:21.819 --> 15:25.300
Why they needed to rhyme everybody but the Junior, who knows. Really nice touch,

15:25.800 --> 15:28.900
though. But it's so funny. Hai is treating this like going to, like the pound

15:29.400 --> 15:31.340
to get a dog. Right. He's, like, trying to play with different ones. He's trying

15:31.840 --> 15:33.870
to keep them quiet, but he's also sort of trying to see, you know,

15:33.950 --> 15:36.870
does this one like me? Does this one react well? What if I pick this

15:37.370 --> 15:39.030
one up? You know, he's almost like kind of like trying to figure, like,

15:39.530 --> 15:42.150
which one do I take? Because, you know, we. We understand how he's climbed up

15:42.650 --> 15:45.510
through the window. Right. Because the last time we saw High and Ed, they were

15:46.010 --> 15:48.590
driving away from their trailer with a ladder on the roof of the car.

15:48.670 --> 15:52.230
So this is what. Is what they decided. Arizona's have enough babies. They need

15:52.730 --> 15:54.830
a baby. And so they're going to go take them. But, you know, they're making

15:55.330 --> 15:58.510
a lot of noise. The babies are making noise. High stumbling around. Yeah. Finally,

15:59.010 --> 16:00.790
Nathan Arizona tells his wife, you know, why don't you go look at him?

16:01.290 --> 16:04.730
Want to go check on them, see what they need? Yeah. And this

16:05.230 --> 16:08.610
is great comedy by Nick Gage. I mean, again, he is really,

16:09.110 --> 16:13.410
really funny, really good in this scene. And it's slightly

16:13.910 --> 16:17.010
surreal. It's almost like 30% the Pee Wee universe. Almost.

16:17.410 --> 16:20.770
There's some bit of surreality to it,

16:21.410 --> 16:24.490
but, yeah, he's testing the babies and everything. And Mrs.

16:24.990 --> 16:28.570
Arizona is coming upstairs to check on him. And then looks in the crib

16:29.070 --> 16:31.990
and sees the babies are all just sitting there. They're fine. They're fine. He has

16:32.490 --> 16:34.750
left, gone back to the car to Ed and say, I didn't get any of

16:35.250 --> 16:36.790
them. Like, I couldn't tell which one to take. Like, whatever. I don't know about

16:37.290 --> 16:39.430
this. And she is not having it. Ed is like, she won't let him in

16:39.930 --> 16:42.510
the car. Yeah. She, like, locks the door, rolls the window up. You get back

16:43.010 --> 16:45.390
in there, you get me a baby, you know? Yeah. When he comes back,

16:45.890 --> 16:48.070
he says, it didn't. It just didn't work out. It didn't work out.

16:49.910 --> 16:53.190
So. So, so he goes in and, you know.

16:53.830 --> 16:57.230
Yeah, the. So Mrs. Arizona has gone back downstairs. Nathan or

16:57.730 --> 17:00.760
High goes up, grabs a baby, comes back out. He says, she goes,

17:01.260 --> 17:04.120
which one did you get? He goes, I think it's Nathan Junior. I also love,

17:04.620 --> 17:06.720
like, I know it was the 80s, so it's like. But I've been thinking about

17:07.220 --> 17:10.760
it from the perspective of someone who had kids in like the mid 20 teens.

17:11.080 --> 17:14.520
That house is not baby proofed at all. Like, there's. There's no, there's no gate

17:15.020 --> 17:17.960
at the top of the stairs. There's nothing. Like that is like not a safe

17:18.460 --> 17:21.880
house. I mean, even the crawl babies. Yeah. Like if the babies can

17:21.960 --> 17:24.840
crawl on top of each other, you make like a World War Z kind of

17:25.340 --> 17:29.029
like zombie stack to get out of there. Like, also definitely do that. How long

17:29.349 --> 17:32.589
has it been? Because we just saw the news report, we assume like that day

17:33.089 --> 17:35.109
or the day before. Right. Like not a lot of time has passed. These are

17:35.609 --> 17:39.229
clearly like six month old babies. Like maybe 40 or four to six

17:39.729 --> 17:43.188
months old or something at least. Like, these are not. These are not newborns in

17:43.688 --> 17:46.909
the Arizona household for sure. But High is very proud of the baby that he

17:47.409 --> 17:50.109
got because he was kind of making faces to them as the mom was checking

17:50.609 --> 17:53.760
on them before she left the room. Went back downstairs and he gets in the

17:54.260 --> 17:57.880
car and she's. Ed is now clutching this baby. She's in

17:58.380 --> 18:02.040
love with this High saying, he's awful damn good. I think I got the

18:02.540 --> 18:05.520
best one. Yeah. And because he said damn, Ed has to tell him, don't you.

18:06.020 --> 18:09.000
Don't you cuss around him? I love. He says, oh, he don't know a cuss

18:09.500 --> 18:12.440
word from Shinola. Because I love don't know shit from Shinola as a saying.

18:12.940 --> 18:16.800
So that was fun. So. So they bring him back to their trailer and

18:17.300 --> 18:19.320
they have it prepared with this kind of welcome homestead. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:19.820 --> 18:23.380
They had already planned on it. Hai runs inside, goes to

18:23.880 --> 18:27.220
the bedroom really quickly and realizes he has a Playboy hidden or

18:27.720 --> 18:29.980
sitting out. So he goes to put it under the bed and then he's like,

18:30.480 --> 18:33.180
huh. Pulls it out, takes one last look and then puts it under the bed.

18:33.680 --> 18:37.260
It's so bizarre. There is so much like cartoonishness about this. I think

18:37.760 --> 18:40.740
the comparison to Pee Wee is very apt. I think that there's a fair amount.

18:41.240 --> 18:44.780
I think if you really look at the entire catalogs of the Coen

18:45.280 --> 18:48.780
brothers as filmmakers and Tim Burton and maybe Wes Anderson, there's a ton

18:49.280 --> 18:52.550
of stylistic overlap. Not. Not that any of them took from each other, but just

18:53.050 --> 18:56.350
like the approaching a live action movie as if it is at

18:56.850 --> 19:00.510
least partly animated. Yes. And is inspired by like Mel Blanc,

19:01.010 --> 19:03.950
you know, And Jack Kirby, like, a little bit. Right. You know, both Looney Tunes

19:04.450 --> 19:07.710
and maybe, like, comic books. Right. Really, really cool stuff. And the set

19:08.210 --> 19:12.390
design in this, too, like, the. The baby nursery set is beautiful

19:12.890 --> 19:16.430
looking. It's really well composed. I mean, there's so much thought put into that whole

19:16.930 --> 19:20.290
thing. Even earlier, when they were doing the montage, he was talking about how Ed

19:20.790 --> 19:23.250
had become kind of. Because of not being able to have a baby, had become

19:23.750 --> 19:26.930
too depressed to do the laundry or whatever, and she's sitting there on the bed

19:27.430 --> 19:31.010
and all this dirty laundry is scattered, but in such a beautiful way. So this

19:31.510 --> 19:34.570
really has, like, the hunger of kind of young filmmakers all

19:35.070 --> 19:38.330
over. Yes, absolutely. So I think it's around here that we get a cutaway to

19:38.830 --> 19:42.210
a different scene outside of the prison. Right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah,

19:42.710 --> 19:46.010
sorry. So he's holding the baby, and she says, the baby's very tired. Yeah,

19:46.510 --> 19:48.210
yeah. And he goes and puts him on the couch and he says, hey,

19:48.710 --> 19:50.070
pop those dogs up and take a load off.

19:52.150 --> 19:54.950
And they're doing a. She wants to get a photo or he wants to get

19:55.450 --> 19:58.550
a photo. That's right. And bust out this camera on a tripod. And she's very

19:59.050 --> 20:00.990
concerned. She's trying to talk to him. She's trying to look at the baby.

20:01.490 --> 20:05.310
And he's just holding his smile for the longest time. He's so nervous about missing

20:05.810 --> 20:08.670
the opportunity of the photo. He's like, we're set to pop here. Yeah, we're set

20:09.170 --> 20:11.670
to pop your honey. He says it a couple times really good. Oh, my God.

20:12.170 --> 20:14.790
And they ended up with a very funny pose. So, yeah, now we're. Now we're.

20:15.290 --> 20:18.120
So we cut elsewhere. We cut to, I mean, a prison, but we can assume

20:18.620 --> 20:21.280
it's the prison that High has spent time in. And sure enough, the brothers William

20:21.780 --> 20:25.200
Forsyth and John Goodman, they start climbing up through the ground, right. As if

20:25.700 --> 20:29.640
they were buried alive and in graves. But really they're pulling kind of a Shawshank

20:29.960 --> 20:34.000
several years before, where they had to. Where they tunneled out of the prison and

20:34.500 --> 20:37.880
got into, like, the sewage system and come up just covered in human

20:38.380 --> 20:41.400
waste. But they are able to pull out. I love John Goodmass. Reach down and

20:41.900 --> 20:45.000
grab William Forsyth by the leg and sort of pull him upside down. Like,

20:45.500 --> 20:47.360
it is like, how do you get upside down? How'd you get backwards in the

20:47.860 --> 20:50.940
first place? It's like a cross between. Yeah. The breech birth through the.

20:51.340 --> 20:54.620
Through the prison hole. It's like a cross between Shawshank

20:55.120 --> 20:58.140
and the rhino birth from Ace Ventura. Oh, my God. Yes.

20:58.380 --> 21:02.140
Yes. They really, they really nailed it. Which, which also then reminds me of.

21:02.640 --> 21:04.860
Of Frank Reynolds in the couch and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

21:06.300 --> 21:08.620
That was some Frank Reynolds looking stuff.

21:08.780 --> 21:12.340
Absolutely. Yeah. So. So they go to kind of clean

21:12.840 --> 21:15.540
themselves up. The brothers do in like probably. It must be like a gas station

21:16.040 --> 21:19.720
bathroom or something like that. And they have the

21:20.040 --> 21:23.520
just mind boggling amount of pomade that they are putting in their

21:24.020 --> 21:27.400
hair. Like, absolutely gobs. And just the only way it's

21:27.900 --> 21:30.000
like. They use the whole tin between the two of them, which is like,

21:30.500 --> 21:33.640
that tin should last you like a couple of months. Right, Right. Doing your hair.

21:34.140 --> 21:36.600
So they are just loading themselves up with pomade, which probably smells better than the

21:37.100 --> 21:40.200
shit they're covered in. Yeah. You know, and it's raining, so maybe you're waterproofing yourself

21:40.700 --> 21:44.200
to some degree. Yes. Really? Yeah, Very funny with that.

21:44.280 --> 21:47.880
And they, they end up showing up. Yeah. There's a, there's a knock at the

21:48.380 --> 21:51.040
door at High and Ed's place when they're enjoying their brand new baby at like

21:51.540 --> 21:55.200
2:00am, right. And their friends very hilariously are saying, it's the

21:55.700 --> 21:59.400
police. Open up. But so, yeah, so the

21:59.900 --> 22:03.000
brothers come in and High's happy to see them, you know, and, oh, honey,

22:03.080 --> 22:05.800
these are the boys from the joint. You know, they just got out. And of

22:06.300 --> 22:09.000
course it comes through because they're covered in shit. And John Goodman mentions like,

22:09.500 --> 22:11.840
oh, well, you know, when we're on our way out, we got into the sewer

22:12.340 --> 22:15.650
system. Which is when Ed realizes, oh, you boys broke out of jail.

22:16.150 --> 22:19.610
Oh, okay, you're not, you weren't like, released, like, you know. Yeah. And from Jump

22:20.110 --> 22:23.490
Street. I feel like John Goodman's character is absolutely suspicious of this whole situation

22:23.990 --> 22:27.210
with the baby and stuff. Like, immediately he's got a lie asking questions about

22:27.710 --> 22:29.570
why does it say welcome home, son? And they have to like, you know,

22:30.070 --> 22:32.130
they do that classic thing where they both try to tell a lie at the

22:32.630 --> 22:35.450
same time, but they haven't talked to each other. So they're different lies about where

22:35.950 --> 22:38.810
the baby was and why. Like, why would a baby be anywhere not with his

22:39.310 --> 22:42.610
parents. Right. This doesn't make any sense. But he's immediately suspicious of what's going on.

22:43.110 --> 22:45.670
But also, hai agrees to let him stay for a little bit. Got nowhere else

22:46.170 --> 22:48.790
to go right now, so it's kind of like, all right, cool. But Ed,

22:49.030 --> 22:52.150
Ed is suspicious of these guys, right? Well, she's a cop. I mean, you just

22:52.650 --> 22:56.190
retired. Yeah, she, she, she knows she's a cop. So she's like, this is not.

22:56.690 --> 22:59.630
I don't want these people around my baby kind of thing. And they say she's

23:00.130 --> 23:03.070
asking them about, you know, what are they doing here. And I think William Forsyth

23:03.570 --> 23:05.910
says, we released ourselves on our own recognizance.

23:06.070 --> 23:09.590
Recognizance. It's like, that's not how that works, buddy.

23:09.910 --> 23:13.270
So, so funny. So she basically goes to the bedroom. She's like, you guys got

23:13.770 --> 23:15.990
to get out of here. I'm going in the bedroom with the. With the baby,

23:16.070 --> 23:19.570
and at Nick Cage, and they're like, you know, I think she's got you on

23:20.070 --> 23:22.730
a pretty tight leash. And then he looks and gives the funniest wink to them.

23:23.230 --> 23:26.410
Yeah, Like, I've got. Don't worry, I've got a genius plan. And his genius plan

23:26.910 --> 23:29.570
is that he just says, hey, they're gonna stay for a couple. Yeah, just for

23:30.070 --> 23:32.610
a couple nights. Just for, like, two nights. Not for long. I also love this

23:33.110 --> 23:37.250
interesting thing here where. Where so High tells. In the. In the intro segment,

23:37.410 --> 23:40.050
he says his name is hi. Right. But call me High.

23:40.610 --> 23:44.290
And William Forsyth's character always does call him High. John Goodman's character always

23:44.790 --> 23:48.290
calls him hi. And I don't know if there's, like, something really ingrained

23:48.790 --> 23:51.410
there we're supposed to understand about his relationship, or maybe he doesn't actually like High

23:51.910 --> 23:54.050
as much as he pretends to. I don't know. But there's an interesting thing where

23:54.550 --> 23:58.090
Goodman's character always calls him H. I never calls him High. Forsyth's character

23:58.590 --> 24:01.290
always calls him High. Ed always calls him High. I don't think John Goodman ever

24:01.790 --> 24:04.930
called him High. You know what's funny now that you bring that up? When they

24:05.430 --> 24:08.770
introduce the baby to these guys, they say, this is Junior.

24:09.270 --> 24:12.770
Right, Right. And William Forsyth's character says, J.R. like the TV show.

24:13.270 --> 24:16.730
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, he's doing the initials now instead of pronouncing it.

24:17.650 --> 24:21.050
It's so funny. And now we are back talking to Mr.

24:21.550 --> 24:27.450
Arizona. That's right. The authorities are talking to Mr. Arizona. And this

24:27.950 --> 24:30.970
is funny. They say, Mr. Arizona, which tot. Was abducted. And he

24:31.470 --> 24:35.370
goes, Nathan Junior. I think. Well, they're all, you know, they're looks like they're identicals.

24:35.870 --> 24:39.410
So, yeah, that's rough. And he's going on a rant about how these cops

24:39.910 --> 24:41.850
don't have any leads. And I think we have some of the same kind of

24:42.350 --> 24:46.520
interagency drama we talked about during Con Air with, you know, the FBI

24:47.020 --> 24:49.800
versus the cops or. Whoever he had look at The. It's like the local sheriff.

24:50.300 --> 24:52.640
Yeah, it's like the local sheriff is there. They're the ones more uniformed. And then

24:53.140 --> 24:54.880
there's the two guys in the suits. I think they introduce themselves as FBI.

24:55.380 --> 24:58.480
Right. Kidnapping and whatever else. And I guess that's an FBI kind of thing.

24:59.280 --> 25:02.160
But, yeah, they. They are not. They are not happy with each other. They're both

25:02.660 --> 25:05.320
trying to ask questions of Mr. Arizona at the same time and kind of talking

25:05.820 --> 25:08.720
over each other. So those two law enforcement agencies are not operating well. And that

25:09.220 --> 25:11.280
pisses Mr. Arizona off even more. And he's kind of. That's when he kind of

25:11.780 --> 25:13.880
goes on his rant. Yeah. You know, and everything. But he basically is like,

25:14.380 --> 25:17.940
you guys need to find this baby. Like, so he's like, you're leaving microbes everywhere.

25:18.440 --> 25:22.220
And he's, like, picking up this. And the cops have left this, like, super disrespectful

25:22.720 --> 25:25.900
mess. He's like, you're all hanging out in the one house in this world that

25:26.400 --> 25:29.300
we know my kid is not at. Good point. Which is a very good point.

25:29.800 --> 25:31.900
Good point. Oh, and he does say that his wife and the other four babies

25:32.400 --> 25:35.020
have left. Gone to, like, her mom's house or something. So they're not there anymore.

25:35.520 --> 25:38.580
Right. Just as a thing. So. Yeah, but. So Mr. Arizona alone at home.

25:39.540 --> 25:42.020
Cut back to Ed and high.

25:42.670 --> 25:46.750
And the whole thing is like, the boys can't hang out. The jailbird

25:47.250 --> 25:49.550
boys can't hang out in the day because some of their friends are coming over.

25:49.630 --> 25:52.750
Some of their proper friends. Proper. Whatever. Yeah, exactly. Proper friends.

25:53.310 --> 25:56.510
So it's Frances McDormand, and I can never remember the actress. Lance McMurray.

25:57.010 --> 25:59.830
One of the best. So great. And he's in, I mean, so much stuff.

26:00.330 --> 26:03.670
We'll see him. We've seen him. Yeah. I mean, from 80. Yeah. We're covering 80

26:04.170 --> 26:06.990
to 99. That guy was probably in 150 movies from 80 to 99.

26:07.950 --> 26:11.270
Great actor. He. He's a good best friend to the main guy.

26:11.770 --> 26:15.030
And that's his position in a lot of situations. Absolutely. But, yeah, he adds

26:15.530 --> 26:19.630
a ton to it. So they show up and they're this family that have five,

26:20.130 --> 26:23.470
six kids. They got a whole bunch of kids, right? Demon children. Absolute demon children.

26:24.030 --> 26:28.190
Every archetype of the worst kind of kid. Like, every different type of bad kid

26:28.430 --> 26:32.230
they have. They're writing on the walls. They're throwing things around, wrestling and

26:32.730 --> 26:36.430
screaming and getting into whatever kind of trouble. And of course, the parents are just

26:36.930 --> 26:39.790
oblivious, essentially, to this. They don't care either. They don't notice or they don't care.

26:39.870 --> 26:42.950
Yeah. And Frances McDormand, like, all she wants to do is see the baby.

26:43.450 --> 26:46.590
She wants to see the new baby. But she's, you know, like that classic,

26:46.990 --> 26:49.990
like Coen Brothers. And this is so great, too. Again, like, just to take a

26:50.490 --> 26:53.030
step back a second to watch these actors who would later go on to be

26:53.530 --> 26:56.510
in many more Coen Brothers movies, and to see I. Again, I don't. I haven't

26:57.010 --> 26:58.990
seen Blood simple, so I'm assuming, at least for a few of these, is their

26:59.490 --> 27:02.690
first encounter with the Coens as filmmakers. And it's just they fit so well.

27:03.190 --> 27:07.010
Goodman and McDormand in particular, fit so well into these roles

27:07.090 --> 27:10.290
and the style, because the overacting is such a part of it,

27:10.530 --> 27:13.850
you know? And to get the right Coen Brothers vibe, there's gotta be

27:14.350 --> 27:17.690
overacting. You know, if you think about the big Lebowski, Goodman overacts huge in that.

27:18.190 --> 27:21.850
As. So as Walter Sobchak and Jeff Bridges even does a little bit by

27:22.350 --> 27:26.290
kind of underacting in that movie. Right. But everybody. The Cohen seem to require

27:26.790 --> 27:30.040
from their actors either ridiculously big or

27:30.200 --> 27:33.720
almost inexplicably small performances in order to

27:34.220 --> 27:37.560
get the right vibe. And it's so great. And Frances McDormand literally bursts

27:37.720 --> 27:41.080
onto the screen and into the trailer and is just immediately

27:41.240 --> 27:44.960
captivating. She's so great, and she doesn't get a ton of screen time in

27:45.460 --> 27:49.240
this film. Yeah, she's incredible. I mean, that's why she's

27:49.740 --> 27:53.440
a legend, right? Absolutely. And then Glenn Lance McMurray at. Glenn is such a

27:53.940 --> 27:56.730
typical, like, shithead. He wants to tell, like,

27:57.230 --> 28:00.570
racist jokes to you. He wants to. He's ignoring his kids. He's. And then he's

28:01.070 --> 28:04.650
bragging about how his one kid. Oh, Buford over there, already learned his ABCs.

28:05.150 --> 28:06.730
And then it shows him writing fart on the wall.

28:08.170 --> 28:11.530
Oh, my God. Yeah. He tells a Polish joke, which is like. When I heard

28:12.030 --> 28:15.770
it, I was like, God, that's. It's so wrong in such an archaic

28:16.270 --> 28:19.570
way now. Like, nobody has done that. I feel like for 35 years.

28:20.070 --> 28:23.420
Like, nobody has told a Polish joke anywhere in the world for 35 years.

28:23.920 --> 28:26.420
And here we are. Well, in these jokes, it's not like, oh, you have to

28:26.920 --> 28:29.740
really understand Polish culture to get this. It's just like, all right, this is a

28:30.240 --> 28:34.140
joke about whoever we're going to say is the dumb class of. Yeah, exactly.

28:34.860 --> 28:38.619
But, yeah, I remember those really flying around. Oh, yeah. And especially guys

28:39.119 --> 28:43.020
like that. I Mean, he would be like the asshole uncle by marriage that shows

28:43.520 --> 28:46.900
up. And you're just like, oh, this guy. He is Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite

28:47.400 --> 28:50.420
meets the boss you hate. Like, that's like, oh,

28:50.920 --> 28:52.780
yeah. So that's the other thing is that he is hired. Oh, that's right.

28:53.280 --> 28:56.740
You should mention a supervisor at work. You have to kind of

28:57.240 --> 28:59.860
put up with his bullshit jokes. And we've all been through that before where you

29:00.360 --> 29:03.580
have to sit there. I used to have this boss who would

29:04.080 --> 29:06.940
tell the worst jokes in the world. And if I didn't give him a reaction,

29:07.440 --> 29:11.100
he would tell me like, I don't get jokes. And he would have me

29:11.600 --> 29:14.420
call his clients. This is my first job out of college, and this guy was

29:14.920 --> 29:18.390
a monster. But he would have me call his clients for whatever business reason,

29:18.550 --> 29:21.750
and then he would also say and tell them this joke.

29:21.990 --> 29:25.350
And he would give me an exact joke to tell them. And sometimes I wouldn't

29:25.850 --> 29:27.630
tell him. He'd be like, oh, he didn't. He said, you didn't tell a joke.

29:28.130 --> 29:31.270
I'm like, are you kidding me? Like, seriously torture, dude. Wow.

29:31.430 --> 29:35.390
So. So, yeah, shout out to Mark. I hope he's no longer in

29:35.890 --> 29:38.710
charge of anybody. Hey, one of my first bosses I hated was named Mark.

29:39.210 --> 29:42.430
Isn't that funny? It's crazy. Anyway. Oh,

29:42.930 --> 29:46.140
okay, hold on a second. I have to bring up this line

29:46.640 --> 29:50.540
here. When they're at the house and the jailbirds are there and they're

29:51.040 --> 29:54.260
kind of watching as Ed is feeding the baby with the bottle. Oh, right.

29:54.760 --> 29:58.420
And John Goodman, I think, says, why aren't you breastfeeding?

29:58.580 --> 30:00.420
You appear to be capable. Yeah.

30:03.460 --> 30:07.180
And then they go on and talk about how they were not breastfed by their

30:07.680 --> 30:09.380
mother and look at, you know, and that's why they're the way they are.

30:09.880 --> 30:13.440
Why they're. They're jailbirds, supposedly. So. And I got a

30:13.940 --> 30:16.640
little hint that maybe they just wanted a little exhibition in front of them.

30:16.960 --> 30:20.360
Certainly seemed like it. But yeah, I don't. I don't think they're actually out

30:20.860 --> 30:23.480
there giving good pediatric advice. They're probably going to see a nipple or two.

30:23.980 --> 30:27.600
Yeah, sorry. Okay, back to Glenn and daughter there at the house.

30:28.100 --> 30:31.040
And. And Dot is really concerning Ed and asking her, well, have you done this?

30:31.540 --> 30:32.960
Have you done this? Do you have this set up? Do you have a college

30:33.460 --> 30:35.520
fund? Do you have a pediatrician? All this stuff. Do you have these shots and

30:36.020 --> 30:39.460
all? And she gets kind of like, I just found out about that. Right.

30:39.960 --> 30:42.340
Well, because she's holding a six month old. Yeah, exactly. And so, you know,

30:42.840 --> 30:46.140
from Dot's perspective, it's like, what the hell have you been doing? How do you

30:46.640 --> 30:49.420
not have a pediatrician yet you were pregnant for nine months. Going to your ob

30:49.920 --> 30:52.780
gyn, then having a bit like. Of course you have a. You don't. What.

30:52.860 --> 30:55.980
It actually. Dot's not being unreasonable, right?

30:56.220 --> 30:59.780
The expectations we like. It's funny, because I was watching this think to

31:00.280 --> 31:02.610
myself, oh, man, she is really going hard on them on the second day they

31:03.110 --> 31:04.610
have a baby. And then I thought to myself, wait, wait, wait, wait. No,

31:05.110 --> 31:07.490
no, no, she doesn't. If she knew it was the second day they had a

31:07.990 --> 31:11.210
baby, she'd have called the cops. Like, it'd be clear that they kidnapped this child.

31:11.290 --> 31:14.170
Yeah. That's the thing I love about this movie. Just like, for a second here,

31:14.570 --> 31:18.210
let's just appreciate the fact that the Coen brothers have given us a film where

31:18.710 --> 31:22.370
in our heroes and the people that we are so clearly rooting for the entire

31:22.870 --> 31:25.210
time are kidnappers. Like,

31:26.890 --> 31:30.290
it takes me a minute to, like, recognize that, but it's really true.

31:30.790 --> 31:34.350
But I think it works because, I mean, the Arizon doesn't

31:34.850 --> 31:38.350
appear to be, like, appropriately tormented by what's happened to them. They seem

31:38.850 --> 31:41.990
more offended that someone would take something from them. But I feel like he'd be

31:42.490 --> 31:45.430
just as pissed if his car got stolen. Exactly. It seemed like that. Yeah.

31:47.510 --> 31:50.150
So Glenn is telling hi.

31:51.270 --> 31:52.950
He casually suggests,

31:54.230 --> 31:57.270
hey, we're swingers. He brings this up,

31:58.070 --> 32:00.830
what about some wife swapping? And I don't know if he was trying to propose

32:01.330 --> 32:04.370
it as a solution to his own problem. Because the other

32:04.870 --> 32:08.050
thing that he has mentioned multiple times is that there's something. Something ain't right with

32:08.550 --> 32:12.370
my semen. Right. That's right. He says it several times because Dot wants a

32:12.870 --> 32:16.610
sixth, seventh, or whatever. So they have a crazy amount of kids. And he's

32:17.110 --> 32:20.850
basically suggesting wife swapping. I don't know if it's a solution so that High could

32:21.350 --> 32:24.530
maybe impregnate his wife, but either way, it's inappropriate. Hai is not interested in it.

32:25.030 --> 32:28.490
Yeah, because he says, like, Dot thinks you're pretty handsome. And I certainly

32:28.990 --> 32:30.960
think, you know, I mean, Ed's quite the looker. Whatever he's trying to say.

32:31.190 --> 32:33.350
And Hyde does not get it at first. And he goes, you know, what are

32:33.850 --> 32:36.630
you talking about? And he goes, oh, we're swingers. I'm talking about wife swapping.

32:37.130 --> 32:40.070
Yeah. And he just. And he knocks him out high. Just gives him one right

32:40.570 --> 32:42.830
to the. Right to the nose and just punches the hell out of him.

32:43.330 --> 32:46.710
And Glenn runs off and. Right into a tree. Right into it.

32:47.210 --> 32:50.470
He hurts himself way worse. Like, what are those?

32:51.270 --> 32:54.630
Saguaro. Yeah. The ones that wave goodbye

32:55.130 --> 32:58.590
to you. Yeah. So he runs right into a cactus. Like, all bad for them.

32:59.090 --> 33:00.670
But I think that's. I think that's the last we see of Glenn and Dot

33:01.170 --> 33:04.570
for a little bit. Yeah. And he's screaming high screaming, keep your goddamn hands

33:05.070 --> 33:06.690
off my wife. Which is very Will Smithy.

33:08.130 --> 33:11.130
Yeah. But much more desert. Glenn deserves it more than Chris Rock did, that's for

33:11.630 --> 33:15.130
sure. So they decide that they don't have enough. They have

33:15.630 --> 33:19.129
not prepared enough for this journey of parenthood. And among the things

33:19.629 --> 33:22.810
they need is diapers. Like, they don't have enough diapers. I don't have any diapers

33:23.310 --> 33:25.090
at the house. But they definitely have enough. They need to go get more diapers.

33:25.410 --> 33:28.940
And so they pull up to convenience store, they park and,

33:29.440 --> 33:32.220
you know, hi gets out. And the first thing we see him pick up when

33:32.720 --> 33:35.540
he's in the convenience store is some pantyhose. Yep. Because he's going to pull that

33:36.040 --> 33:39.420
over his face and stick the place up. And sure enough, he does.

33:39.900 --> 33:44.100
The clerk in there is. He's kind of like the donut shop kid from Boogie

33:44.600 --> 33:47.380
Nights. And he's sitting there reading a jugs magazine. That's right. As he comes up

33:47.880 --> 33:49.940
to him. Yeah. So he says, I'm going to take these diapers and whatever cash

33:50.440 --> 33:54.060
you have in that drawer. At which point Ed looks up and notices what hai

33:54.560 --> 33:57.340
is doing and is mad and starts, that son of a bitch. That son of

33:57.840 --> 34:01.010
a bitch. And she drives off, and she drives off and. Oh, and the clerk

34:01.510 --> 34:04.290
had a little alarm button to the cops. He was able to push when the

34:04.790 --> 34:07.250
gun came out. So she. That's, I think, why Ed looks up, she hears the

34:07.750 --> 34:10.490
sirens off in the distance and then realizes what hai's doing. And she drives away

34:10.990 --> 34:12.730
because she's like, I got the baby in the car. Like, I'm not gonna just

34:13.230 --> 34:15.810
do this. We're not going down for this. He starts running after her. Like,

34:16.310 --> 34:19.650
he runs out, runs after her. And the coolest. I swear to God,

34:20.150 --> 34:23.570
this is the coolest chase scene ever. In movie history. In movie history.

34:23.810 --> 34:27.400
First of all, it is over 8 minutes long, which is amazing.

34:27.560 --> 34:31.240
19 minutes of this movie is the cold open and this chase.

34:31.480 --> 34:34.520
Yeah. And the whole movie is only 94 minutes. Yeah. Yeah.

34:34.680 --> 34:37.800
But it's a great. So he. And there's the pieces. Some of the pieces of

34:38.300 --> 34:41.640
this I love. The cops start shooting at him immediately.

34:41.720 --> 34:45.800
They don't yell, freeze. No regard for anything. They're shooting at houses,

34:46.040 --> 34:49.640
they're shooting everywhere. It's just ridiculous. He gets into a backyard

34:50.140 --> 34:53.360
and there is the second, a primary attack

34:53.860 --> 34:56.480
dog of the 80s, the Rottweiler. That's right. Not a. Not a Doberman, not a

34:56.980 --> 34:59.760
Doberman, but one step down. But a Rottweiler comes in and of course,

35:00.260 --> 35:03.280
it's on those staked chains, right? That's just long or just short enough that it

35:03.780 --> 35:05.480
doesn't get him and he's able to get away. But, like, that little moment is

35:05.980 --> 35:08.880
one that I love. But yeah, it's like all this up until finally,

35:09.040 --> 35:12.120
I guess Ed decides that she's going to try to find him and pick him

35:12.620 --> 35:15.200
up and sure enough is able to, like, drive and see and find.

35:15.920 --> 35:18.800
Oh, no, he go to the grocery store first. He runs into the grocery store

35:19.120 --> 35:22.360
and. They'Re shooting up the grocery store in the grocery store. So insane. And he's.

35:22.430 --> 35:26.070
He's throwing diapers at the cop and stuff, like the things that he's

35:26.570 --> 35:30.070
doing. And then the grocery store worker pulls out a shotgun shooting. So everyone is

35:30.570 --> 35:34.030
just blasting at it. I mean, this is a Western, but it's set in

35:34.190 --> 35:37.230
the kind of the way that they talk and everything.

35:37.950 --> 35:41.110
It's kind of deadwoodish a little bit. The vocabulary that

35:41.610 --> 35:45.710
they use. Like a modern western. Yeah, yeah, 100%, yeah. And the

35:46.210 --> 35:50.110
soundtrack to this whole scene worked so well. And it's music I

35:50.610 --> 35:54.030
would never listen to in real life, but in this scenario, this yodeling country music,

35:54.490 --> 35:58.490
kind of pre Hank Williams style of country music that we knew

35:58.810 --> 36:02.810
in this is just, oh, my God, it works so well. And it

36:03.310 --> 36:06.090
stops for a bit and then it comes back on when the dog gets off

36:06.590 --> 36:11.010
the chain. Really, really well done, but, yeah, super, super enjoyable.

36:11.510 --> 36:14.210
And he's being chased by a mob of other dogs, too, because they all join

36:14.710 --> 36:17.370
the Rottweiler. So he's going through a house and everything.

36:17.450 --> 36:21.490
We're getting a chase similar to the Point Break chase.

36:21.990 --> 36:25.570
Oh, yeah. Where Johnny Utah is, you know, running through the apartment and the sliding

36:26.070 --> 36:29.750
door and stuff. Really, really great. And it ends with,

36:29.830 --> 36:32.950
he's in the car, she's yelling at him, she slaps

36:33.450 --> 36:37.190
him immediately. That's right. And he does a classic face when you get slapped

36:37.690 --> 36:40.910
and it turns your entire head. And she's

36:41.410 --> 36:44.990
yelling at him and he's like, turn right here, sweetie. Turn left here, sweetie.

36:45.490 --> 36:48.630
While he's absorbing everything she's saying. And he ends up scooping the diapers

36:48.870 --> 36:52.550
up off the road. A foreshadow to a future scene

36:52.870 --> 36:55.430
where someone has to scoop something off the road as well. But we'll get to

36:55.930 --> 36:59.880
that when we get to it. Yeah. From going into the store to

37:00.380 --> 37:03.160
picking up the diapers off the street. I timed it as eight minutes, which is,

37:03.660 --> 37:06.840
like, so insane, but so much fun.

37:07.320 --> 37:10.360
Oh, my God. Like, just a great scene. Absolutely great.

37:10.860 --> 37:14.840
Oh, he had the nylon on. And he tried to get into another guy's truck

37:15.080 --> 37:17.760
at one point. That's right. He gets in there and the guy looks at him,

37:18.260 --> 37:20.200
he goes, son, you got a panty on your head.

37:23.190 --> 37:26.950
Oh, man. Oh, man. So fantastic stuff. Yes.

37:27.030 --> 37:30.990
So we get back to the trailer, I believe, and the brothers are

37:31.490 --> 37:34.910
there. And I've got a note here that basically says

37:35.410 --> 37:37.790
one of them, Cohen, I think it's William Forthsize to go. What? He need his

37:38.290 --> 37:41.030
dip tet. Like, he knows what the shot is. But I can't remember the context

37:41.530 --> 37:44.590
of what happened there, but it was very funny. That was really what dipted.

37:45.090 --> 37:48.910
It was. And they're just surrounded by empty beer cans

37:49.410 --> 37:52.230
and stuff. And Ed basically takes the baby into the bedroom. She's like, I'm.

37:52.460 --> 37:55.900
You know, we'll fight about this tomorrow, but I gotta go to bed. Yeah.

37:55.980 --> 37:59.420
And they're trying to convince High that, you know, hey,

38:00.140 --> 38:03.620
you're a criminal, right? Yeah. This is not for you. You shouldn't be a dad.

38:04.120 --> 38:07.220
But you can at least send money to this family, Right. You know, that's the

38:07.720 --> 38:11.340
plan. And we have this plan to heist this bank, right? There's a bank.

38:11.840 --> 38:15.060
It's like all farmers and hillbillies and hayseeds, they say. But it's like on the

38:15.560 --> 38:18.790
whatever day of the month, every month there's more money in the bank because people

38:19.290 --> 38:22.390
come in and check their farm cash, their farm subsidies, checks. So the bank has

38:22.890 --> 38:25.310
to have more cash on hand at the time. And that's when they're going to

38:25.810 --> 38:28.750
rob it is the idea is they'll go knock it over when it's extra flush

38:29.250 --> 38:32.750
with cash, which makes a lot of sense. One thing I did notice, while they

38:33.250 --> 38:36.670
were chatting with Hai in the front seat, we kept cutting to ostensibly

38:37.170 --> 38:40.830
Ed and the baby sleeping in the next room. But that baby is never asleep.

38:41.470 --> 38:44.590
Not once. Are any of the babies in this movie actually shown sleeping. I don't

38:45.090 --> 38:47.990
know if it was a thing about not being able to get one to fall

38:48.490 --> 38:51.890
asleep with cameras and lights around or what, but they're definitely never asleep.

38:52.390 --> 38:54.810
They did shoot it from behind, and it doesn't move Around a whole lot,

38:55.310 --> 38:56.610
so you kind of get the feel. But it's like, if you look closely,

38:57.110 --> 38:59.770
it's like, oh, no, no. That little bugger still moving around. Yeah.

39:01.370 --> 39:04.610
So at this point, when John Goodman's telling them, you know,

39:05.110 --> 39:08.410
how they found out about this bank, he has kind of a funny anecdote about

39:08.570 --> 39:12.610
some guy that we met in prison who used to be Richard Nixon's

39:13.110 --> 39:15.130
secretary of Agriculture or whatever. And he says,

39:15.930 --> 39:19.210
ordinarily, we don't associate with that type.

39:19.710 --> 39:23.190
Yeah, right. That's so much worse than the pet criminals they are.

39:23.350 --> 39:26.590
Yeah. So high. Basically writes a, you know, goodbye letter. Hey,

39:27.090 --> 39:30.670
I. I'm a criminal. I'm out. Like, I'd rather have you resent me

39:31.170 --> 39:34.270
while I'm sending you money than me fail to be, you know, what I need

39:34.770 --> 39:36.870
to be when I'll. When I'm around here. I mean, they know, you know,

39:37.370 --> 39:39.750
he's basically, at this point, he hasn't talked to Glenn yet, but he's figuring he's.

39:40.250 --> 39:42.870
He's lost his job. Right. He punched his supervisor in the nose, so that's done.

39:42.950 --> 39:46.310
And he wondering, how is he even gonna, you know, support the family

39:46.810 --> 39:49.070
and, like. And, like, make money for them to buy food and stuff? So right

39:49.570 --> 39:52.030
in his mind, this is like the next right move.

39:53.390 --> 39:57.390
And I think that's when Glenn shows. Up at the door, I believe so.

39:57.890 --> 40:01.710
First we have a flash to another character

40:02.210 --> 40:05.310
that we haven't brought up yet. Oh, yeah. Who just showed up a little bit

40:05.810 --> 40:09.430
earlier. And we're kind of unsure if this is just a figment of hai's

40:09.930 --> 40:13.030
imagination or if this is a real guy. But hai said that kind of when

40:13.530 --> 40:17.110
I did a bad thing, then it's almost like he summoned this biker of the

40:17.610 --> 40:20.600
apocalypse is what he referred to him as. Like he dreamed him into existence,

40:21.100 --> 40:24.680
almost. Yeah. Yeah. And it's this great, great character actor from the

40:25.180 --> 40:28.640
time, Randall Texcoff, who is this big. I guess he used to be a boxer

40:29.140 --> 40:31.640
or something like that. Ended up being an actor.

40:31.880 --> 40:35.000
Very good at being, like, a goofy, intimidating guy.

40:35.160 --> 40:38.480
Yeah. And he's on his motorcycle, he's filthy.

40:38.980 --> 40:42.640
He's smoking the worst looking cigars I've ever seen in my life. He's got shotguns,

40:43.140 --> 40:46.840
grenades, all this stuff. And he's just, like, killing small animals as he travels the

40:47.340 --> 40:51.080
travels across the country. So at this point, we see that he

40:51.580 --> 40:54.960
has arrived now at Arizona's office. That's right, at the unpainted

40:55.460 --> 40:59.240
Arizona offices. And he's basically there like Nathan Arizona's secretary

40:59.740 --> 41:01.680
Somebody says, oh, sir, I don't know why he's here. Like, he didn't. He just

41:02.180 --> 41:04.999
came right in kind of thing. And this character, and his name is Leonard Smalls,

41:05.499 --> 41:09.040
he tells Arizona, like, you know, basically, there's a reward out for

41:09.540 --> 41:11.720
your baby. I know how to find it. That's what I do. I find things.

41:11.960 --> 41:15.960
But here's the thing. That price is not enough. Nathan Arizona has offered $25,000

41:16.460 --> 41:20.040
for the return of his baby, and he basically says, healthy, white baby.

41:20.540 --> 41:23.180
I can get a lot than that from somebody else. So if you're not willing

41:23.680 --> 41:27.260
to pay 50,000, somebody else will. Yeah. And I'm going to find the baby either

41:27.760 --> 41:30.460
way. Like, I'm going to get the baby either way. I don't see that in

41:30.960 --> 41:34.180
many. I mean, I like this. This device of being like, well, I'm.

41:34.680 --> 41:38.020
I'm stealing the baby no matter what, either for you or it's gone.

41:38.520 --> 41:41.980
So happy to return the baby to their rightful place, but only if you give

41:42.480 --> 41:45.620
me what I want. Yeah. It's like second kidnapping. And the way he.

41:45.860 --> 41:48.300
The way he talks is very funny as well. Yeah.

41:49.490 --> 41:53.410
So he says to Mr. Arizona's, like, the rewards. $25,000.

41:53.910 --> 41:56.330
He says, the price is not what you say it is. It's what the market

41:56.830 --> 42:00.610
will bear. All these different, like, it very Lebowski

42:01.110 --> 42:05.250
ish, the way that randomly a character will have some very prescient thought.

42:05.330 --> 42:08.890
We just got a very brief lesson on Adam Smith's invisible hand of the market.

42:09.390 --> 42:10.370
Right. Exactly.

42:12.770 --> 42:16.130
So. So now Glenn. Now we're back at the trailer.

42:16.630 --> 42:19.170
Right. So Glenn has showed up basically to first to tell. Hi. That he's fired.

42:19.670 --> 42:23.290
Yep. Right. You're fired. There's that. But then they realize he's got a newspaper,

42:23.790 --> 42:26.930
and it shows, like, that, you know, Nathan Jr. Or Nathan Arizona Jr.

42:27.430 --> 42:30.650
Has been kidnapped. And Glenn said, I know.

42:31.150 --> 42:33.690
Like, we dot and I know that who that baby is. That's not your baby.

42:34.190 --> 42:36.970
That's the Arizona baby. And here's the thing. We're not going to turn you in

42:37.210 --> 42:39.290
because you're going to give that baby to us, and we're going to raise that

42:39.790 --> 42:42.650
baby because Doc wants a baby. And so they're basically like, same idea, but it's

42:43.150 --> 42:44.650
basically like, if you. You've got. I think he says two days. You've got two

42:45.150 --> 42:47.490
days, like, hand over the baby, or we're going to go to the cops and

42:47.990 --> 42:50.370
turn you in. Yeah. Which is like, there's not a whole lot of ways out

42:50.870 --> 42:53.090
of that. It seems like. Right. Initially, at least. No, no.

42:54.610 --> 42:57.890
Yeah. Really, really brutal. So Glenn takes off, and I think this is the

42:58.390 --> 43:00.690
last we see of Glenn. So in the meantime. Not quite. There's a little bit.

43:01.190 --> 43:03.250
There's a little scene with Glenn later. He gets himself in some trouble, but that's

43:03.750 --> 43:07.210
okay. Oh, okay. So. So this is funny

43:07.710 --> 43:10.740
here. So now. Now High is back in there, and we've got the jailbirds there,

43:11.050 --> 43:13.610
and they seem to have changed their plan and they're kind of like.

43:14.090 --> 43:16.890
Because they heard Glenn say who this. Baby is,

43:17.050 --> 43:20.450
so they know this baby is valuable as hell. So we're doing our crime

43:20.950 --> 43:24.290
spree still, but we're taking this baby with us, and we don't need High as

43:24.790 --> 43:27.490
any part of this. Well, I think it's mainly they're. They're. I think initially they're

43:27.990 --> 43:30.490
like, we can still knock that bank over, but, like, we'll return this baby and

43:30.990 --> 43:33.650
get the $25,000 reward. I mean, that's what they're thinking, which is like, guys,

43:34.150 --> 43:37.250
you are fugitive, so you need to be careful about trying to collect on a

43:37.750 --> 43:40.630
legitimate reward. Seriously, they're gonna put you back in jail, guys.

43:41.030 --> 43:44.910
But they basically. So they. There's this huge fight that happens mostly between Goodman

43:45.410 --> 43:49.150
and High while Forsyth holds the baby. Yeah. And one of my favorite moments in

43:49.650 --> 43:52.110
it is that they're both such big guys. Cage and Goodman are both very tall.

43:52.610 --> 43:55.950
Yeah, they scrape. I think it's Kate scrapes his knuckles on, like, the popcorn ceiling

43:56.450 --> 44:00.230
dude. And he goes for like a double. Ax handle attack and scrapes

44:00.730 --> 44:03.910
his knuckles. And he's screaming like crazy. And I wrote

44:04.410 --> 44:07.840
down at this point point that up till this point, because there's been

44:08.340 --> 44:11.560
a lot of it. Some of the best man screaming I've ever seen in a

44:12.060 --> 44:14.320
movie. And we haven't even scratched the surface yet.

44:15.920 --> 44:19.360
But, yeah, I love that Popcorn ceilings came into play. That's a. It's a

44:19.860 --> 44:23.520
very nice detail. Very classic. Very classic. And so basically,

44:23.920 --> 44:27.320
they beat the hell out of High and they leave with, you know,

44:27.820 --> 44:30.160
whatever car that they stole to show up in. Right. But they leave with the

44:30.660 --> 44:34.310
baby, and it's like almost immediately they're falling in love with the baby, too.

44:34.810 --> 44:36.790
They talk about the baby and wanting to keep it. And, like, look at him.

44:37.290 --> 44:39.230
He's so great and he looks so perfect. Whatever. So these guys are now.

44:39.630 --> 44:41.910
They've now changed their plan again. They're not going to turn the baby in.

44:42.410 --> 44:44.830
Yeah. The 25,000 reward, they're going to go rob the bank, but that baby's going

44:45.330 --> 44:48.190
to be in our crew. He's in the crew now. You know, maybe in a

44:48.690 --> 44:50.390
couple of years, he'll be able to, like, you know, he'll. He'll be the River

44:50.890 --> 44:53.390
Phoenix sneakers character. He'll go through. Yeah, right. You know, that kind of thing.

44:54.030 --> 44:57.640
But yeah, so they go. And they go. This is when they go to get

44:58.200 --> 45:01.440
some baby stuff, I think, at a convenience store, and then stick

45:01.940 --> 45:05.320
it up instead of paying for it. But they're asking the old timer behind

45:05.560 --> 45:09.120
the counter advice on what to get. And he

45:09.620 --> 45:12.760
gives them advice. Then they pull the gun. Okay, thanks very much. We're gonna go

45:13.260 --> 45:15.640
now. And I love it because this is something. We haven't mentioned this earlier in

45:16.140 --> 45:20.000
the episode, but several characters, especially in the very beginning segment, said okay

45:20.500 --> 45:23.240
then. But they all said it, okay then. I think the parole board does it.

45:23.740 --> 45:26.680
I think that's what the priest or the minister for the wedding says it that

45:27.180 --> 45:29.430
way. And this old timer is like, all right, you get down now, this William

45:29.930 --> 45:32.790
Forsythe. You get down and you count to 500, and then you count back down

45:33.290 --> 45:35.190
for 500, and I'm going to come back in five minutes and make sure you're

45:35.690 --> 45:38.830
counting, if not, blow you away. Yeah. And he goes, okay, then.

45:39.330 --> 45:42.550
And, like, gets down on the ground. One, two, three.

45:43.050 --> 45:46.830
And it's like, so. So the things that they get from the store, he gets

45:47.330 --> 45:49.990
the diapers. And he asked the clerk, you know, how do you attach the diapers?

45:50.310 --> 45:53.550
The thing that I loved is there's this bag of

45:54.050 --> 45:56.830
balloons. And he sees this bag of balloons and he goes.

45:57.390 --> 46:01.190
He goes, these blow up into funny shapes. And then the guy. And then

46:01.690 --> 46:04.110
the clerk goes, not lest you think round is funny.

46:06.590 --> 46:09.870
But he takes the balloons and he takes the diapers and whatever. And so then.

46:10.370 --> 46:13.150
So they go. And they. You know, I think. I think even Goodman's filling up

46:13.650 --> 46:15.630
the car with gas or whatever. They're ready to go rob this banks, get in

46:16.130 --> 46:19.430
the car and they head off, and not too far,

46:19.930 --> 46:22.780
but, like, actually apparently pretty far away. They realized that car seat is not in

46:23.280 --> 46:26.700
the back of the car. They left the baby, as it turns out, in the

46:27.200 --> 46:29.660
middle of the damn street, which is, like, pretty wild.

46:30.140 --> 46:33.100
Well, they left him on the roof of the car when they drove. That's what

46:33.600 --> 46:36.940
it was, right? And somehow he fell. They're freaking, didn't get hurt, which is great.

46:37.440 --> 46:40.660
But, like. And they are losing their minds. Both of them screaming.

46:41.160 --> 46:44.540
It's very funny, the male screaming. Just absolutely

46:45.040 --> 46:48.470
losing their minds. And they end up getting back and they. They have the Baby.

46:48.970 --> 46:52.310
Yeah, and they, you know, and then they go towards

46:52.810 --> 46:56.030
the bank. And at the same time, now Ed and High are looking. Looking to

46:56.530 --> 46:59.270
retrieve the baby. Yeah, they've also. And they're on the road. Ed came home,

46:59.350 --> 47:02.990
found High, whatever, and they're out looking for the other. They. They know, obviously,

47:03.490 --> 47:05.230
the twin, you know, the brothers took the baby, so they're out looking for it.

47:05.730 --> 47:08.510
At which point, I believe this is where Leonard shows up at the double wide

47:09.010 --> 47:12.550
and sees the chaos and all of the, like, you know, mess and everything with

47:13.050 --> 47:15.070
the fight that happened. But he knows now, okay? Now the baby. Baby's not here.

47:15.570 --> 47:18.310
He's got to go looking for the baby. But he's a tracker, right? You got

47:18.810 --> 47:22.150
to figure he probably can follow a couple sets of car tracks.

47:22.790 --> 47:26.750
Well, earlier, when he first encountered the

47:27.250 --> 47:30.750
pomade in the bathroom, he sniffed like he was picking up

47:31.250 --> 47:34.430
the actual scent of it. Interesting thing, that bathroom where they put the pomade

47:34.930 --> 47:38.470
on their hair had graffiti on the door, and it said Poe

47:38.870 --> 47:42.400
was the top thing that it said. And then it said eop. It said it

47:42.900 --> 47:46.720
in, like, a different thing, but it says po. So once again, Con Air prequel.

47:47.220 --> 47:49.640
See, I'm such a nerd. I heard Poe. I immediately thought power over Ethernet.

47:50.140 --> 47:53.360
I was like, I don't think that existed in 87. But anyway, yeah, so now.

47:53.860 --> 47:56.200
So now Leonard is on the trail. So everybody is heading, and the brothers have

47:56.700 --> 48:00.920
gone to this hayseed bank, this farmers and mechanics bank or something like that that

48:01.420 --> 48:03.720
they're going to go stick up. And I love their outfits. They got the big

48:04.220 --> 48:06.760
trench coats on. They look very much the part. They still have. Their hair is

48:07.260 --> 48:10.820
still ridiculously green, greasy and everything. And they go in, and they bring the baby

48:11.320 --> 48:14.260
in with them, right? They have a discussion before they go in. They say,

48:14.760 --> 48:16.740
well, if we leave him in the car and something happens to us, it might

48:17.240 --> 48:21.380
be hours before somebody finds him. That's too dangerous. So let's just bring him into

48:21.880 --> 48:25.340
our gunfight. Potential gunfight. You know, I mean, I got to give him respect for,

48:25.840 --> 48:29.100
like, kind of recognizing that, like, a baby left alone in a car for hours

48:29.600 --> 48:32.140
could be very dangerous. Like, maybe not. You know, that could be all bad.

48:32.540 --> 48:35.800
But the alternative being bring him into the bank robbers does

48:36.300 --> 48:39.200
not seem like the right call at all. But that's okay.

48:39.680 --> 48:42.920
So they go in and they put the baby down. And this scene is excellent.

48:43.420 --> 48:47.520
It's really amazing. And they start off with John Goodman yells, all right, everybody freeze.

48:47.680 --> 48:51.400
Get down on the floor. And, like, nobody moves. And finally, this, like, old Guy

48:51.900 --> 48:55.560
closes and goes, well, son, which is it? You want me to freeze or you

48:56.060 --> 48:58.760
want me to hit the ground? Because if I hit the ground, I'll have stopped

48:59.260 --> 49:02.590
freezing. If I freeze, ain't no way I'm reaching the ground. Just like,

49:02.750 --> 49:06.510
so explanatory. And then they're like, where'd the tellers

49:07.010 --> 49:10.350
go? And then they're like, we're down here. They dropped like you

49:10.850 --> 49:14.110
told them to, buddy. Like, yeah, really good.

49:14.430 --> 49:18.070
And they call each other by their real name. And then he's kind of like,

49:18.570 --> 49:21.830
oh, why did you use my real name? He's like, code name. You mean your

49:22.330 --> 49:24.910
code name? Oh, that's right. Code name. That's right. We're using code names.

49:26.910 --> 49:30.190
Such an excellent scene, though. And they end up getting their bag filled

49:30.690 --> 49:34.160
with money, and then the teller puts one of those, like, exploding dye canisters in

49:34.660 --> 49:37.240
there. Yeah. So the dye packs, they've gotten much smaller. They used to be.

49:37.740 --> 49:41.040
Yeah, it was like a whole canister. Enormous. It would have been easier to

49:41.540 --> 49:44.480
ditch, you think. If you look for half a second. You know, that's like a.

49:44.980 --> 49:48.080
A Coors Light pint can, you know. Yeah.

49:49.680 --> 49:52.680
So they're driving away and they're like, oh, we got the money. Yeah. Like,

49:53.180 --> 49:55.760
we're good. Yeah. How much is this split? Three ways. Kind of like because.

49:56.260 --> 49:58.820
Because they're going to give the baby. Yeah, yeah. And they turn back and then

49:59.320 --> 50:02.620
they realize. We did it again. Right. That baby's not there.

50:03.120 --> 50:06.460
And pretty much at the same time, they realize that the dye explodes and it's

50:06.960 --> 50:10.100
just blue that they can't wipe. Off the windows and stuff inside the windshield.

50:10.180 --> 50:13.620
They can't see anywhere. So they crash. Right. Like, and. Yeah.

50:13.700 --> 50:16.780
And they encounter Ed and. Hi. Oh, that's right.

50:17.280 --> 50:20.180
That's right. Who are like, where's the baby? What'd you do back at the bank?

50:20.680 --> 50:24.295
So then they take off after him, and William Forsyth is like, I'm worried.

50:24.795 --> 50:28.280
That sick about him. It's our baby, too. So good.

50:30.440 --> 50:33.600
So. So they go back to the bank, and now, of course,

50:34.100 --> 50:35.960
they didn't leave the baby inside the bank. They kind of, once again, either put

50:36.460 --> 50:38.560
it on the roof and then drove off, or they left it. So it's in

50:39.060 --> 50:42.280
the street. So High and Ed are racing in their car towards the baby,

50:42.780 --> 50:44.720
and I got a little nervous at this point, just thinking, like, they might want

50:45.220 --> 50:47.520
to slow down at some point here because you don't want to run the baby

50:48.020 --> 50:51.240
over or whatever. Yeah. But they go and. But before they can reach the baby,

50:51.690 --> 50:54.890
they See off in the distance, coming from the other direction, this motorcycle.

50:54.970 --> 50:58.730
And it's Leonard Smalls. And he actually is able to swipe the baby

50:59.230 --> 51:02.410
up just like high, grabbing the diapers off the road and kind of stick the

51:02.910 --> 51:05.250
car seat on the handlebars, I guess. Yeah, just sort of the bikes have that

51:05.750 --> 51:09.490
built in baby seat. And like, it's like he was prepared. We had those when

51:09.990 --> 51:12.210
our kids were little. We had the little like a carrying thing that, yeah,

51:12.710 --> 51:14.850
like clicked into the base, would stay in the car. You click it in and

51:15.350 --> 51:17.410
out. It's like. But that was pretty advanced. They don't have that 87, I don't

51:17.910 --> 51:21.650
think. But yeah. So now Leonard's got the baby and. Basically they're

51:22.150 --> 51:25.450
driving the car at him. He pulls out a shotgun. Excellent blast out of the

51:25.950 --> 51:29.890
windshield. One of my favorites that I've seen in a film. Really good windshield blast.

51:30.390 --> 51:33.849
They kind of crash their car. So he has the baby and Ed

51:34.349 --> 51:37.890
just kind of marches up to him like, no weapon. Just like, fuck you,

51:38.390 --> 51:41.690
buddy. That is my baby. I'm taking it. That's when she delivers the

51:42.010 --> 51:45.890
famous line, right? Like, it's not just. It's, I want that baby. Give me

51:46.390 --> 51:48.810
that baby. You give me that baby, you warthog from hell.

51:50.650 --> 51:52.890
He does look like a warthog. He's all furry. He does.

51:54.250 --> 51:57.610
And then he has a couple like, knives ready. That's right. Basically,

51:57.690 --> 52:01.130
High is able to shoot him directly in the hand, which really good accuracy.

52:01.610 --> 52:04.250
And then with his other hand, he throws the knife and knocks the gun out

52:04.750 --> 52:08.010
of his hand. Perfect shot. So lots of accurate action. Yeah, really nice.

52:08.510 --> 52:11.790
Yeah. Dead eyes. Even with all like the bad cigar smoke and dirt in his

52:12.290 --> 52:16.550
eyes, he really does it in the sun and everything. So Hai and

52:16.630 --> 52:20.030
the biker end up in this great fistfight. And this

52:20.530 --> 52:23.830
is again, Nic Cage's faces while he's getting beat up

52:24.330 --> 52:27.910
are just this amount of overacting that make it so perfect

52:28.790 --> 52:32.430
and it's really, really funny. So his physical comedy

52:32.930 --> 52:35.430
chops are excellent. In this movie. As he's getting beat up,

52:36.780 --> 52:40.300
it turns out that the biker is able to get him in some sort

52:40.800 --> 52:44.500
of a bear hug. And he's just crushing it, Right. And he has

52:45.000 --> 52:48.380
this vest on with all these grenades. He's like a bandolier across his chest.

52:48.780 --> 52:52.180
And Hai is able to pull the pin from one of those grenades before

52:52.680 --> 52:55.980
he gets away a little bit. Yeah. I would recommend separate

52:56.480 --> 53:00.220
grenade storage. Maybe not on your person. Maybe have a grenade duffel

53:00.720 --> 53:03.460
bag in a blast proof trunk or something like that. It really should be in

53:03.960 --> 53:06.310
a box with a biometric scanner to make sure. And the kids can't get a

53:06.810 --> 53:08.990
hold of the grenade. And that's really important. You don't want the kids in your

53:09.490 --> 53:13.390
grenade stash. Before Leonard Smalls blows up, we do.

53:13.890 --> 53:17.590
See, on his chest is the same tattoo that High has on his

53:18.090 --> 53:21.870
arm. Right? That looks vaguely like the Looney Tunes Roadrunner character, but not exactly.

53:22.370 --> 53:25.710
I can't quite tell what that image is supposed to be or why they have

53:26.210 --> 53:29.270
the same tattoo. Yeah, I don't know if it's like a car thing, like a.

53:30.070 --> 53:33.150
We'll have to look at. We'll add a correction next. Next year

53:33.650 --> 53:37.330
when we do this again, Right? Yeah. So he notices the tattoo.

53:37.830 --> 53:40.530
And I thought for a second, like, oh, maybe that they'll come to some sort

53:41.030 --> 53:44.050
of affiliation buddies. Look, you and I, we're not so different.

53:45.410 --> 53:48.810
Nope. He just pulls the pin, blows Leonard up. And before he

53:49.310 --> 53:52.850
blows up High looks at him and he's just like, I'm sorry.

53:53.810 --> 53:55.650
Blows his ass up. I'm sorry.

53:57.250 --> 54:01.470
So Leonard's gone. The brothers are Sol and High and

54:01.870 --> 54:05.270
Ed have got Nathan Jr back. And they decide

54:05.770 --> 54:09.590
to do the right thing. So they drive to the Arizona house and

54:10.090 --> 54:13.390
climb up the ladder into the nursery and go put the baby back

54:14.110 --> 54:17.790
in the thing. But I think that's when. With the burnt out copy of

54:18.290 --> 54:21.510
the Dr. Spock's book, which is really funny how that travels with the baby wherever

54:22.010 --> 54:25.550
he goes. When hai first took the baby, he grabbed that and

54:26.050 --> 54:27.870
he said, oh, look here, hon, I got the instruction manual.

54:29.430 --> 54:31.910
But yeah, so. So they are bringing them back and there's this really great sort

54:32.410 --> 54:34.390
of conversation between. Because basically, hi. And Ed.

54:35.430 --> 54:37.990
Ed's so mad that hai got the baby re.

54:38.490 --> 54:41.950
Kidnapped by the. By the jailbird brothers, that. That she's basically telling them, like,

54:42.450 --> 54:45.750
we're not sticking together. You know, we're done. And. And so there's

54:46.250 --> 54:50.270
this really great scene between. Between hai and Ed and. And Nathan

54:50.770 --> 54:54.310
Arizona about, like, what it takes to keep people together. And I'm so sorry

54:54.810 --> 54:57.230
you can't have babies. But, like, maybe there's something else, you know, that will keep

54:57.730 --> 54:59.910
you two together. You gotta, like, talk to each other. It was a very interesting

55:00.280 --> 55:03.360
kind of nice thing. And yeah, and we did. I did leave. We know.

55:03.860 --> 55:07.440
Obviously, with the sense. I think that High and Ed are fine.

55:07.940 --> 55:10.560
You know, we get a little bit of an epilogue that kind of just,

55:11.060 --> 55:13.840
you know, talks about them still being together. And that's a good thing. Yeah.

55:14.340 --> 55:18.680
And the epilogue, I mean, the speech by Nathan Arizona. Because the

55:19.180 --> 55:22.960
tone of this movie, it's still. Even though it's like outlaws on the

55:23.460 --> 55:26.680
run, it's a very sweetly intentioned movie in a

55:27.180 --> 55:30.480
lot of ways, you know, if misguided. But it's like, at its

55:30.980 --> 55:33.420
heart, it's like somebody who's doing what they think the right thing is in a

55:33.920 --> 55:38.060
stupid way. Yeah. And. And the Nathan Arizona conversation

55:38.560 --> 55:41.660
really kind of ties it together. And he even empathizes with them when they

55:42.160 --> 55:45.220
say, we can't have kids of our own. And he kind of alludes to fertility

55:45.720 --> 55:47.860
treatment, it seems like, because he's like, oh, my wife and I couldn't. And now

55:48.420 --> 55:52.020
look at this shit. Yeah. Although they mentioned that they did some kind of fertility,

55:52.180 --> 55:55.620
even at the beginning of the movie when they first announced that. That the quintuplets

55:56.120 --> 55:58.750
were born, there was some comments about. About they were trying. And they used to

55:58.900 --> 56:02.380
like this new fertility drug. And suddenly, boom, five kids. So that

56:02.880 --> 56:05.540
is part of it. So I thought this was kind of funny. So after this

56:06.040 --> 56:09.700
conversation, and Nathan's like. He lets them say goodbye, and he's like, well, why don't

56:10.200 --> 56:14.020
you go out. The way you came? And then he goes. Just leaves the room

56:14.260 --> 56:16.740
with them with the baby that they just kidnapped,

56:17.780 --> 56:21.100
just unsupervised. I can't co sign that.

56:21.600 --> 56:24.180
Action. Mr. Arizona. You should have at least waited for them to leave and then

56:24.680 --> 56:28.380
lock the window behind them or something. Yeah. So.

56:28.880 --> 56:31.860
Yeah. So the movie ends with a voiceover. By,

56:32.340 --> 56:35.500
like, it started. Yeah, just like it began. And he's talking about

56:36.000 --> 56:38.900
a dream that he had, which is like, kind of a theme that's come through

56:39.140 --> 56:42.340
a couple times in this film. And part of

56:42.840 --> 56:45.980
the dream is that his jailbird buddies, like, went back to prison through

56:46.480 --> 56:49.300
the hole that they escaped. Climbed back in, put themselves back where they belong.

56:50.100 --> 56:53.140
And he's thinking about other people in his life. He's thinking about his friend Glenn.

56:54.680 --> 56:57.800
And he says, yeah, maybe people finally got tired of hearing his jokes.

56:58.300 --> 57:01.680
And it shows him too many Polish jokes. And it shows him being pulled over

57:02.180 --> 57:05.160
by an officer who has a badge that says Officer Kowalski. Kowalski.

57:06.280 --> 57:10.320
Sergeant, I believe. And then he goes to this scene

57:10.820 --> 57:14.560
of the Arizona family on Christmas morning. He's like, well, maybe Nathan Junior opens a

57:15.060 --> 57:18.040
gift from a couple he's never met before. And it shows him getting a football.

57:18.120 --> 57:21.680
And maybe this football inspires him in some way later in life,

57:22.180 --> 57:25.130
he's star. And he's dreaming and talking about how,

57:25.630 --> 57:28.410
I've never dreamed this far into the future. And it wasn't super clear to me,

57:28.910 --> 57:31.530
but it was an old couple who I thought was me and Ed and Dude,

57:32.030 --> 57:35.290
I mean, really kind of a tearjerker. That last scene, it was very, very sweet.

57:35.690 --> 57:39.770
Talking about how I envision kind of no matter what, we're still

57:40.270 --> 57:43.410
okay. We're still together. We have all this happiness in our lives. We have a

57:43.910 --> 57:47.490
family who's okay. We have grandkids who are okay. Kind of everything's

57:47.990 --> 57:51.420
gonna be okay. I can't see for sure that that's what this is, but that's

57:51.920 --> 57:54.500
what this feels like to me. And that's kind of like how it wraps.

57:55.000 --> 57:57.580
And it certainly looks like the intimation or what he's dreaming ahead, whatever, is that

57:58.080 --> 58:00.620
they do end up having. Through adoption or something else. I don't know. I mean,

58:01.120 --> 58:03.820
they do try adoption early in the movie, but because of High's criminal past.

58:03.900 --> 58:07.420
Right. It's denied. But it looks like two kids because there's like two adult

58:07.920 --> 58:11.180
couples at their Thanksgiving table. And then like they've each got five kids. So,

58:11.680 --> 58:14.020
you know, so even if Hai and Ed can't have a ton of kids,

58:14.520 --> 58:17.090
they end up with a couple and then 10 grandkids or something like that.

58:17.590 --> 58:20.370
So, you know, it's a very much like that. That is as happy an ending

58:20.870 --> 58:23.330
as two kidnappers could possibly ask for, frankly. Like, that is.

58:23.890 --> 58:27.610
But. But that's. That's Raising Arizona. Very, very fun

58:28.110 --> 58:30.930
movie. Really great to. To look back at a very,

58:31.430 --> 58:34.970
very early Coen Brothers film. This also marked, by the way, one, this was the

58:35.470 --> 58:39.010
last year pretty much until Leaving Las

58:39.510 --> 58:43.010
Vegas, where Cage was in really good movies. Because in 87, both this

58:43.510 --> 58:46.410
movie and Moonstruck came out okay. And then there was like, he had. Like the

58:46.910 --> 58:50.330
guarding test era, like all that kind of stuff. Something someone like

58:50.830 --> 58:54.090
you in Vegas. Was that before leaving? That was before, yeah. But it's like there,

58:54.590 --> 58:57.209
there's this. He did this stretch of like kind of romcoms and just kind of

58:57.709 --> 59:00.970
crap until Leaving Las Vegas, which, you know, regenerated his career.

59:01.470 --> 59:04.490
But this was sort of the, the end of. Of kind of an era of

59:04.990 --> 59:08.160
Cage's career. Yeah. And he really got sucked into kind of really

59:08.320 --> 59:11.720
just crappy mainstream rom com stuff that weren't even all that

59:12.220 --> 59:15.560
good for the most part, for at least the next five, I think seven or

59:16.060 --> 59:19.120
eight years. Right. Until. Until leaving Las Vegas in 95. So.

59:19.520 --> 59:22.999
But, you know, a lot of fun and a very different look at Nicholas

59:23.499 --> 59:27.240
Cage, which I think is. It's great for our cagevember episodes. Absolutely. Yeah,

59:27.740 --> 59:31.280
well, this was my pick. Should I go ahead and rate this first? Go for

59:31.780 --> 59:34.960
it. All right. So, yeah. I mean, and such a fun case. What a great

59:35.460 --> 59:38.240
look, by the way. Yes, this is a fun. Like, I'd like to. I don't

59:38.740 --> 59:40.280
know if I talked about it on the pod, but I like to do.

59:40.780 --> 59:43.800
I like to paint. And a lot of the stuff that I've done is just

59:44.300 --> 59:46.640
kind of like, you know, fan art type stuff, like a painting of a scene

59:47.140 --> 59:50.360
from a movie or a character or whatever. And I think this character is definitely

59:50.860 --> 59:53.400
on my list as someone that would be really fun to paint. I just love

59:53.900 --> 59:56.880
the look. I love the way this movie looks and feels in general.

59:58.080 --> 01:00:01.890
It's almost 40 years old. It doesn't feel super out

01:00:02.390 --> 01:00:05.250
of place. I mean, it obviously doesn't take place now, but you're not like,

01:00:05.750 --> 01:00:08.450
oh, this doesn't hold up. There's a couple lines where you're like, okay, maybe you

01:00:08.950 --> 01:00:11.450
tweak that a little now, but a lot of time has passed.

01:00:12.810 --> 01:00:16.610
All the performances were bangers. And this really helped

01:00:17.110 --> 01:00:20.450
hopefully launch, like, part of the long and successful careers of some of the people

01:00:20.950 --> 01:00:24.730
that we love so much that are in this movie as a Cage. I mean,

01:00:25.230 --> 01:00:28.250
this isn't the Cage. Iest Cage has ever been, but it was early in his

01:00:28.750 --> 01:00:32.310
career, and you definitely see glimpses of his range and, like, his ability. I don't

01:00:32.810 --> 01:00:35.950
know. His face is really magical. Jim Carrey gets credit for being rubber face.

01:00:36.450 --> 01:00:40.230
Cage is, like, secondary rubber face, I feel. Absolutely. Yeah. So,

01:00:40.730 --> 01:00:43.310
yeah, I enjoyed the shit out of this movie. There's a lot of laughs in

01:00:43.810 --> 01:00:46.630
here. I'm going to go ahead and give the Coen brothers and Nick Cage a

01:00:47.130 --> 01:00:51.190
four and a half out of five. Wow. For Raising Arizona. Fantastic. Yeah. I also

01:00:51.690 --> 01:00:54.070
really enjoyed it. I thought it was really great to watch. Like I said kind

01:00:54.570 --> 01:00:58.030
of earlier in Nicholas Cage's career, not. Not earliest. I mean, he definitely. He started

01:00:58.530 --> 01:01:01.560
in the 70s, but, like, you know, very, very early part of the Coen brothers

01:01:02.060 --> 01:01:05.360
filmmaking career. And it was a really interesting way to look at this. Holly Hunter

01:01:05.860 --> 01:01:08.200
is a delight. She's an absolute delight. Didn't even talk about her. I mean,

01:01:08.700 --> 01:01:11.240
like, she's. Yes. So good. So good in this. It's really, really a lot of

01:01:11.740 --> 01:01:14.840
fun. And. And. And looks great. She's gorgeous, too. And. And the whole thing that

01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:18.200
all the character actors that are in it, you know, from Glenn and Dot to

01:01:18.700 --> 01:01:22.360
the jailbird brothers to. To Nathan Arizona, like, and Leonard Smalls, like, all the whole

01:01:22.860 --> 01:01:26.180
cast is just A really great group, really great ensemble. Had a

01:01:26.680 --> 01:01:29.460
lot of fun with it. Didn't, like, was not head over heels for it.

01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:32.140
Definitely wasn't, like, oh, my God, that's amazing. Like, if I don't watch it again

01:01:32.640 --> 01:01:34.340
for a while, it's not going to, like, bother me kind of thing. But I

01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:36.540
really enjoyed it. And I'm going to give it a three and a half out

01:01:37.040 --> 01:01:39.300
of five. So that makes us an eight out of ten. The two dads are

01:01:39.800 --> 01:01:43.300
an eight out of ten on Raising Arizona. Yeah. Which is, I think,

01:01:43.540 --> 01:01:46.900
pretty fair. Yeah, totally. Absolutely. Yeah. If you haven't seen this,

01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:49.620
I mean, this is really worth putting on your list. And again, it's only an

01:01:50.120 --> 01:01:53.270
hour and a half long, so it's a breeze. It's really fun.

01:01:53.770 --> 01:01:56.270
Yeah. And it looks good and sounds good and everything.

01:01:56.750 --> 01:01:59.630
And, man, I'm kind of sad, Steve, that we're already, like, three quarters of the

01:02:00.130 --> 01:02:03.510
way through cagevember. We are. We are. We have one more cagevember movie to

01:02:04.010 --> 01:02:07.866
do. And I am going to take us back away from the 80s

01:02:07.954 --> 01:02:10.910
cage. Yes. And we're going back to the mid-90s, and we're going to go a

01:02:11.410 --> 01:02:14.910
little full circle. And I've got a whole timeline of

01:02:15.310 --> 01:02:18.280
a theoretical kind of, how did we get to this point that we'll go into

01:02:18.780 --> 01:02:22.080
in the episode, but basically we're going back to 1997,

01:02:22.580 --> 01:02:26.360
the same year Con Air came out. In fact, 21 days after

01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:29.400
Con Air came out, this movie came out.

01:02:30.040 --> 01:02:33.320
Nicholas Cage in yet another. Hey, we got to put two big stars

01:02:33.820 --> 01:02:36.560
in an action movie together. Hey, we got to have a great action director do

01:02:37.060 --> 01:02:40.680
this. We put together John Woo, the director, with John

01:02:41.180 --> 01:02:45.190
Travolta and Nicholas Cage, and we are going to do some acting

01:02:45.690 --> 01:02:49.070
like each other in Face Off. And Face off,

01:02:49.570 --> 01:02:53.230
to me, is the culmination of this era of Nicolas Cage.

01:02:53.310 --> 01:02:56.630
And it's. It's going to be so much fun. It's. You know, John Woo is

01:02:57.130 --> 01:03:01.070
a fantastic action director. The premise is insane, just absolutely

01:03:01.390 --> 01:03:04.950
ludicrously bonkers. And, you know, this is right after Travolta had

01:03:05.450 --> 01:03:08.680
his career resurrected. This is still just a couple years after actually one year after

01:03:09.180 --> 01:03:12.080
Nicolas Cage won the Oscar for leaving Las Vegas. And here they are doing just

01:03:12.580 --> 01:03:16.360
the most absolute, batshit crazy thing either of them would ever be in until Battlefield.

01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:20.640
So, yeah, I realize now I need to react audibly to what you're saying because

01:03:21.140 --> 01:03:24.280
I just have this huge grin on my face and the listeners cannot see this.

01:03:24.780 --> 01:03:28.080
I cannot wait. Dude, I love Face off. I loved it so much when it

01:03:28.580 --> 01:03:31.600
came out and oh yes, this is going to be a fun one.

01:03:32.100 --> 01:03:35.530
So next week we will wrap up Case Agevember with Face Off. That about

01:03:36.030 --> 01:03:38.250
wraps it up. So if you like what you hear and we hope you do,
