WEBVTT 00:00.834 --> 00:03.691 All you have to do is follow 3 simple rules. 1, 00:04.831 --> 00:08.667 never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. 00:10.208 --> 00:14.397 2, take it outside. Never start anything inside 00:14.897 --> 00:16.693 the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. 00:18.170 --> 00:20.320 And 3, be nice. 00:21.926 --> 00:25.553 Come on, honey. If somebody gets in your face and 00:26.053 --> 00:28.009 calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. 00:31.849 --> 00:34.561 Okay. Ask him to walk. Be nice. 00:35.385 --> 00:37.855 If he won't walk, walk him, but be nice. 00:38.706 --> 00:42.361 If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both 00:42.720 --> 00:46.029 be nice. I want 00:46.529 --> 00:48.667 you to remember that it's a job. 00:50.108 --> 00:53.876 It's nothing personal. Uh-huh. You call 00:54.376 --> 00:56.782 it a cocksucker impersonal? No. 00:58.131 --> 01:01.728 It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response. 01:03.912 --> 01:05.565 I wonder if somebody calls my mama a whore. 01:07.364 --> 01:07.733 Is she? 01:12.518 --> 01:16.211 I want you to be nice until it's 01:16.711 --> 01:20.385 time to not be nice. Well, uh, 01:21.026 --> 01:24.299 how are we supposed to know when that is? You won't. 01:24.877 --> 01:27.812 I'll let you know. You are the bouncers, 01:28.069 --> 01:31.422 I am the cooler. All you have to do is watch my back and 01:31.454 --> 01:34.967 each other's. Take out the trash. 01:37.855 --> 01:41.721 It's Two Dads, One Movie. It's the podcast where two middle-aged dads sit 01:42.221 --> 01:45.812 around and shoot the shit about the movies of the '80s and '90s. Here are 01:46.312 --> 01:48.556 your hosts, Steve Paulo and Nick Briana. 01:49.486 --> 01:53.276 Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Two Dads, One Movie. I'm Steve and I'm 01:53.776 --> 01:57.821 Nick, and today we are talking about the 1989 classic Road 01:57.853 --> 02:01.434 House as we wrap up the '80s portion of Two Dads, Two Decades. 02:01.868 --> 02:04.742 And Nick, you picked Road House for us, so tell us a little bit about 02:05.242 --> 02:07.938 your history with it and why you picked it for us. Oh man, I mean, 02:09.335 --> 02:12.836 I think you and I probably have similar histories with this one. This wasn't one, 02:13.173 --> 02:15.100 you know, I would have been aware of when I was 10 years old, 02:15.197 --> 02:18.502 right? This is one that hit you know, in my late teens and 20s. 02:19.112 --> 02:22.624 And it's just rewatchable and quotable and stupid and goofy. 02:23.041 --> 02:25.800 And like, the girls didn't want to watch it, so you could have bro time. 02:26.249 --> 02:28.991 And, you know, you kind of had no choice because there were no options of 02:29.491 --> 02:32.985 girls who might want to come watch with you. But man, I remember it 02:33.485 --> 02:37.011 being so fun and like the cheesiness of it and the action 02:37.511 --> 02:41.309 and the bar fights and the music. And it's just always been a blast. 02:41.357 --> 02:43.570 So I thought this would be a great one to talk about with you. 02:44.148 --> 02:46.553 What about you, Steve? When did you see this one? Yeah, I think the fair— 02:47.053 --> 02:50.224 I honestly believe that I saw this the very first semester I went away to 02:50.724 --> 02:52.884 college. So I actually went to like 4 different colleges, which is a long and 02:53.384 --> 02:55.625 boring story. But the first one I went to is called Southern Oregon University. 02:55.770 --> 02:58.014 I was there for like a semester and the dorm I was in, it was 02:58.078 --> 03:01.348 like the building had— it was like a co-ed mixed building, but every floor was 03:01.364 --> 03:04.650 like men or women. So it's like on my floor was only dudes in like 03:04.666 --> 03:08.256 every room. And there was like this one group that they 03:08.756 --> 03:10.821 got. These guys just had this pair that was there. They just had like a 03:11.321 --> 03:14.225 decent sized TV and a huge DVD collection. Yeah. And so it's like, dudes are 03:14.725 --> 03:17.343 always just like, we'd hang out in that room, like watch movies. And Road House 03:17.843 --> 03:19.352 was one of the movies that they watched a bunch. It was the first time 03:19.852 --> 03:23.313 I saw it. I thought, this is fucking awesome. Like, it was very much— it 03:23.813 --> 03:26.808 hits in a way like an 18 or 19-year-old is just going to absolutely love 03:27.196 --> 03:30.706 in so many ways. And so I've seen it a ton since then. It's one 03:30.755 --> 03:34.010 that I like, you know, jokingly kind of think of as one of my 03:34.075 --> 03:37.543 favorite movies. Not like— like, I do love it unironically in some ways, 03:37.576 --> 03:41.109 but also ironically in others where it's like, sure, it's It definitely crosses that so 03:41.609 --> 03:45.263 bad it's good thing for a little bit. But it still feels like real love 03:45.311 --> 03:47.989 to the viewer. To you, it still feels like love. 03:48.262 --> 03:51.373 It's something amazing. And, you know, we're obviously going to get into all of it, 03:51.389 --> 03:55.334 but like there are elements of this movie that just absolutely like 03:55.623 --> 03:59.632 withstand the test of time. I mean, tell— mention throat 04:00.132 --> 04:03.320 ripping to like anyone who's even come into contact with this 04:03.820 --> 04:06.128 movie over the years and they'll know this is what you're talking about. Yeah, 04:06.224 --> 04:10.239 yeah. And it spawned MacGruber, my— one of my favorite movies 04:10.739 --> 04:14.558 of all time. I mean, another throat rip classic. Yeah. And, and also 04:15.058 --> 04:17.529 this movie, like, I love The Blues Brothers is one of my favorite movies of 04:18.029 --> 04:21.560 all time. The scene at Bob's country bunker where they're playing country music behind 04:22.060 --> 04:25.590 that chicken wire and stuff. This movie is like a whole movie of that part. 04:25.655 --> 04:29.011 It is wonderful. Like, it's fantastic. So, yeah, I can't wait to talk about 04:29.511 --> 04:32.319 this one. I love it. Real quick, are you familiar with— there's an old Twitter 04:33.041 --> 04:36.590 user, old Twitter account called Dad Boner. You ever heard of this guy? He created 04:37.090 --> 04:39.867 a character named Carl Wilson, and like, he's like this, 04:40.814 --> 04:44.252 you know, deadbeat dad divorcee kind of guy, like this character. 04:44.348 --> 04:47.946 And he's like, whatever. But he's like way into like Guy Fieri and 04:48.299 --> 04:51.977 Roadhouse and all this stuff. And he wrote a Roadhouse sequel called 04:52.477 --> 04:56.538 Roadhouse 2012: Pain Don't Hurt. It's absolutely hilarious. 04:56.635 --> 05:00.489 It stars him and it's 05:00.989 --> 05:04.509 like him and Guy Fieri are starring in it as both themselves 05:04.541 --> 05:07.963 and the characters. And then also Barry from Storage Wars is 05:08.075 --> 05:11.770 in it as the Emmett character, which is like just absolutely hilarious. So nice 05:12.270 --> 05:13.575 kind of thing. If you can track it down, I don't even know if it's 05:14.075 --> 05:16.252 still on Twitter after all the craziness there, but that was a very funny thing. 05:16.365 --> 05:19.683 Always made me, always made me love this movie more. All right, let's jump into 05:19.699 --> 05:22.271 the facts on Roadhouse. All right. 05:22.512 --> 05:26.370 Roadhouse came out on May 19th, 1989, with an R rating and 05:26.402 --> 05:30.028 a running time of 114 minutes. It's directed by Rowdy Harrington. 05:30.093 --> 05:31.949 And if there was a better first name for the director of this movie than 05:32.449 --> 05:36.192 Rowdy, I don't know. What it could be. I almost like we were talking 05:36.692 --> 05:38.949 about, we don't know what else this guy's done. It almost sounds like it's an 05:39.045 --> 05:42.283 Alan Smithy for like the redneck type things, you know? Right. 05:42.347 --> 05:45.938 Did you make a movie about bar fights and like raw-dogging it 05:46.438 --> 05:48.423 in barns and you don't want to put your name on it? Use the name 05:48.923 --> 05:52.286 Rowdy Harrington. All right. It's written by R. 05:52.366 --> 05:55.652 Lance Hill and Hillary Henkin. And again, the fact that a woman 05:56.152 --> 05:59.034 was involved in writing this movie to me is very surprising. It does not feel 05:59.083 --> 06:02.481 like a movie that has a woman's kind of like perspective at all. 06:02.625 --> 06:06.440 Like, it honestly feels like R. Lance Hill dictated it and Hillary 06:06.472 --> 06:09.759 Henkin typed it. And that's no disrespect to Hillary Henkin, but based 06:09.775 --> 06:12.548 on the point of view of this film, complete disrespect to Arlene Sill if true. 06:12.628 --> 06:16.171 However, starring Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, and Sam Elliott. 06:16.748 --> 06:20.018 Scores not particularly good on any of the three fronts 06:20.518 --> 06:24.202 we usually look. Rotten Tomatoes, 44%, definitely rotten. On IMDb, 06:24.266 --> 06:28.161 a 6.7, which is not garbage, but is under that— we've discovered, 06:28.177 --> 06:31.047 right, 7 is sort of the threshold for like a decent flick. So we're underneath 06:31.079 --> 06:34.637 that. And we get a pair of thumbs down, least surprising two thumbs down in 06:35.137 --> 06:38.837 my opinion, from Siskel and Ebert ever. Awards, no No award wins that 06:39.337 --> 06:42.861 I could find worth mentioning, but it did get nominated for 5 Razzie Awards 06:43.361 --> 06:45.971 in 1990. Didn't win any of them, but it was nominated for worst picture, 06:46.452 --> 06:50.203 worst director, worst screenplay, worst actor for Patrick Swayze, 06:50.476 --> 06:53.938 and worst supporting actor for Ben Gazara. I looked into it. The movie that kind 06:54.438 --> 06:57.209 of swept those categories generally, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, 06:57.994 --> 07:02.242 written and directed by William Shatner. He won the director worst Razzie, the actor 07:02.322 --> 07:05.898 worst, the picture won worst picture. Cleaned up the Razzies that year, Star Trek 07:06.398 --> 07:08.786 V. So, um, and on a budget of $15 million, 07:09.609 --> 07:12.932 Road House brought home $30.1 million, just over 2x what 07:13.432 --> 07:16.423 it cost. So that's at least a moderate success. That's not a total flop or 07:16.923 --> 07:19.771 anything. So yeah, interesting. Made its money back. It did. Hey, 07:19.820 --> 07:22.521 sweep up all the broken glass. Well, you got to sweep up those eyeballs every 07:23.021 --> 07:26.207 night, man. So, all right, you, you picked this movie for us, man. Jump in. 07:26.255 --> 07:29.844 How do we start? All right, so we get immediately— we're like, 07:29.973 --> 07:33.704 uh, shown this bar and there's some butt-rocking band 07:33.816 --> 07:37.311 playing. As the music throughout this movie, it's always live 07:37.327 --> 07:40.613 band at a bar. It's very good. You know, it's not like the greatest songs 07:41.113 --> 07:44.156 of all time that I'll listen to in the car driving around, but it really 07:44.656 --> 07:48.147 like puts you inside the movie. So, so I love it. And, uh, what is 07:48.647 --> 07:52.219 it, diegetic, non-diegetic? You're talking about, right? Kind of like crosses 07:52.235 --> 07:56.146 the threshold because it's the same music, you know. But, uh, very good. 07:56.723 --> 08:00.618 And we get, um, and this is like a bar that's doing well, the band's 08:00.827 --> 08:05.298 killing it, whatever. This hot chick pulls up in a Ferrari and there's 08:05.798 --> 08:08.583 like a dude in a bolo tie, a black bolo tie, who's Mr. Tiller, 08:08.823 --> 08:12.428 right? Or Tillerman? Yeah, sounds right. Yeah, something like that. He's the owner of 08:12.928 --> 08:16.481 the Double Deuce. That's right. But he's like walking around this place just looking impressed 08:16.593 --> 08:19.702 by how well the bar is doing. So there's all these scenes of like money 08:19.814 --> 08:23.242 changing hands, right? There's one guy who hands a gold American 08:23.274 --> 08:26.511 Express card and he's like, oh, this gold plastic will do the trick. 08:26.559 --> 08:30.276 He said something about gold plastic, which kills me. And then, 08:30.388 --> 08:33.754 you know, we get a nice side profile of our hero 08:33.834 --> 08:37.304 Dalton Patrick Swayze with like one of the better 08:37.529 --> 08:41.144 shaped mullets I've ever seen in my life. I wouldn't even call it a mullet 08:41.644 --> 08:45.224 because it's just, it's so windswept and styled. Yeah, it's not a mullet, I don't 08:45.724 --> 08:48.277 think, because I think it's long enough in front that you really can't call it 08:48.777 --> 08:50.413 a mullet, even though he does sweep it back. Like, that's how he wears it. 08:50.462 --> 08:54.494 But like the actual like style, you know, isn't super mullet-y. 08:54.622 --> 08:58.060 Like, yeah, he really looks— It's kind of party all over. Yeah, exactly. 08:58.109 --> 09:01.014 It's a party one way, you know, left every way. Right and left. 09:01.420 --> 09:03.579 Real quick on the band, because I was wondering this when I was watching, 09:03.611 --> 09:05.982 I'm like, is this like a cover or is this a cover band? Or like, 09:06.047 --> 09:08.523 is this even a real band? Is this actors? No, no, no. That song, 09:08.556 --> 09:12.250 Don't Throw Stones, and that band, they are the Crusados. That is their 09:12.396 --> 09:15.691 song. They got that band to play in the, you know, so I 09:16.191 --> 09:17.604 don't think the song was written for the movie. I think it was just like, 09:18.005 --> 09:20.448 yeah, let's put this band in this and they'll play their song in it. 09:20.496 --> 09:24.203 So like they got to open a major Hollywood picture with 09:24.703 --> 09:27.197 their song, Don't Throw Stones. And then I don't know about you, but I never 09:27.697 --> 09:30.764 heard from them again. No, I had no idea. Probably cashed in on that, 09:30.780 --> 09:32.866 and they, you know, most of the budget probably went to that. 09:32.962 --> 09:35.979 Exactly. Um, so of course, 09:35.995 --> 09:39.541 you know, Swayze Dalton is the cooler, and he's looking around the bar. 09:39.589 --> 09:42.654 He's got his eye on everything, and he's watching all the stuff that's happening. 09:42.718 --> 09:46.104 He sees a couple of classic '80s a-holes, right, 09:46.328 --> 09:49.393 as he's just being like 100% cool with 09:49.893 --> 09:52.779 them. Yeah, until he's not cool and, you know, kicks him out of the bar. 09:52.859 --> 09:56.325 So he dispatches the situation in a way that does not 09:56.373 --> 10:00.385 disturb the business, right? Which is very impressive to Mr. Tiller, who's watching with the 10:00.885 --> 10:04.043 creepiest look on his face that he has throughout the movie. His look of loving 10:04.156 --> 10:07.798 Dalton's shit is like, you either gotta smile more or 10:07.927 --> 10:11.537 make it straighter, but it's like too in between, man. You gotta cut that shit 10:11.601 --> 10:14.233 out. Yeah, it's, it's pretty, it's pretty wild. Um, 10:14.426 --> 10:17.635 Tillman apparently is his name. Yeah, there we go. Okay, but, um, but yeah, 10:17.876 --> 10:20.924 a couple of things here. So basically, uh, 10:20.940 --> 10:24.437 first of all, Dalton is the only person that could possibly look this badass 10:24.453 --> 10:26.984 in a pair of pleated linen pants, for one thing. 10:27.641 --> 10:31.246 And he's looking very River Wild-ish. Yeah, a little bit. Looking like, looking like Straytherin 10:31.746 --> 10:34.290 in River Wild, for sure. He's got kind of a dad vibe to him. 10:34.370 --> 10:37.735 A little bit. You know, there's an element of that. But like, can we talk 10:37.815 --> 10:41.564 briefly about like, what the fuck is a cooler? And I know that we're not, 10:41.596 --> 10:45.185 we're not new or unique bringing this up in podcasts that have talked about this 10:45.201 --> 10:48.870 movie. But like, I spent, I met my wife at a bar in 10:49.370 --> 10:53.293 our early 20s. I spent between college and having kids, which was like 15 10:53.793 --> 10:55.443 years. I, you know this, we used to hang out every once in a while 10:55.943 --> 10:59.535 there too. I used to spend most of my free evenings at a bar and 11:00.035 --> 11:02.584 I knew a lot of bouncers, knew a lot of bartenders, and I never once 11:03.084 --> 11:05.553 heard anyone refer to anyone on staff as a cooler. And this was a bar 11:06.053 --> 11:09.484 that like had trouble sometimes, not, you weren't sweeping the eyeballs up or whatever every 11:09.984 --> 11:12.051 night, but they, you know, it would get a little rough at times. And so 11:12.533 --> 11:15.566 what the hell is a cooler? And is this something that exists outside of Roadhouse? 11:15.614 --> 11:19.433 Yeah. Is it like a thing in honky tonks or were they just like, 11:19.449 --> 11:23.169 we don't want to be like, bouncer because it doesn't sound cool enough. 11:23.377 --> 11:27.208 What sounds cool enough? Cooler. I've got it. I've never heard 11:27.708 --> 11:29.693 of it before. Is the mess up part is he later, later on in the 11:30.193 --> 11:32.707 movie, he refers to the other security staff at the bar he ends up working 11:32.819 --> 11:36.346 at. You're the bouncers, I'm the cooler. Like, so it's not like bouncer 11:36.442 --> 11:40.642 isn't a thing that exists in this world. It's just that there's also this special 11:40.754 --> 11:44.008 tai chi kung fu guy who can like zen 11:44.120 --> 11:47.486 everybody out before the bouncers have to boot them, I guess. Like, it's— he made 11:47.986 --> 11:51.430 up his own position and got hired at it. Yeah, he's brilliant. I remember one 11:51.930 --> 11:54.622 of my first jobs after I worked with a guy whose title was marketing technologist, 11:54.702 --> 11:57.269 and I asked if he made it up. He said, yeah. I'm like, why? 11:57.991 --> 12:01.809 Um, anyway, so yeah, so Tillman is there to recruit Dalton, basically. Dalton takes a 12:01.825 --> 12:05.130 knife, uh, wound to his arm in the 12:05.630 --> 12:09.382 fight without a reaction. Oh, completely. It's very Nic Cage in Con Air, 12:09.398 --> 12:12.911 like getting shot and just continuing to walk. Yeah. And then we— the next 12:13.411 --> 12:15.366 time we see Dalton, he's actually in like the office or whatever at the bar 12:15.575 --> 12:18.880 sewing his own, you know, making stitches and sewing up his own wound. 12:19.088 --> 12:22.738 Yeah. So we used to have a thing, uh, in in 12:22.771 --> 12:26.310 college when we talked about things that make these type of movies great. Yeah. 12:26.751 --> 12:29.879 And one of the concepts, uh, which is not universal but was funny, was the 12:30.379 --> 12:34.104 3 S's. And it was a strip club, a supermarket, and self-surgery. 12:34.458 --> 12:38.316 And, uh, because movies that ended up having like supermarket— 12:38.816 --> 12:41.617 like, uh, Cobra and Big Lebowski falling down, like, yeah. 12:41.875 --> 12:45.481 So anyway, Swayze doing self-surgery really put a hop in my 12:45.981 --> 12:48.365 step when I was watching. I love seeing those scenes. I feel like this might 12:48.398 --> 12:50.016 be— need to be a new trope that we add, a new tag. Yeah, 12:50.033 --> 12:51.749 because like definitely The Predator had this, right? The Predator gave himself self-surgery. 12:54.214 --> 12:56.511 And I know we haven't done Rambo 3 yet, but come on, we're going to. 12:56.607 --> 13:00.078 It's in the hopper. He cauterizes a wound, for Christ's sake. Like, yeah. 13:00.720 --> 13:02.600 But yeah, so definitely something to keep an eye out for. 13:04.078 --> 13:07.516 And Tillman wants to hire Dalton because he heard 13:07.532 --> 13:10.585 he was the best, or he said, I need the best. Right. And then Dalton's 13:11.085 --> 13:13.782 like, Wade Garrett's the best, who we haven't met yet. 13:13.878 --> 13:16.882 That's Sam Elliott. We're going to meet him later. Yes, we are. A whole lot 13:17.382 --> 13:20.433 of him. So the finances of this deal. 13:21.363 --> 13:24.263 Dalton looks like— I— it doesn't say where they are at the beginning, but it 13:24.763 --> 13:27.980 looks almost like somewhere nicer to live than fucking 13:28.093 --> 13:31.249 outside of Kansas City where he ends up. It looks like Miami or— 13:31.281 --> 13:33.829 yeah, I got the vibe maybe LA, just the way people are dressed. Yeah, 13:33.845 --> 13:36.858 it looks like a fancy place, right? And then, uh, 13:37.290 --> 13:40.271 he's getting them out of there, and Dalton seems like very successful, 13:40.287 --> 13:43.716 very needed, probably well compensated there. And the guy offers him, uh, 13:43.956 --> 13:47.529 Dalton's terms are $5,000 up front and then $500 a night. 13:47.626 --> 13:51.174 'Plus you pay my medical expenses.' Right. Yeah. And to a guy who just watched 13:51.674 --> 13:54.482 him stitch himself up, I'd be like, 'Dude, I'll fucking take that. You don't seem 13:54.562 --> 13:57.677 to—' Let's see, needle and thread budget. Got it. It's like someone says like, 13:57.757 --> 14:00.407 'You pay my gas,' and you're like, 'Well, you don't have a driver's license, 14:00.423 --> 14:02.430 so that's perfect.' Um, 14:03.762 --> 14:05.737 yeah, so Dalton gets inside his sick, uh, 14:06.171 --> 14:09.206 Mercedes-Benz coupe with, uh, New York plates and 14:09.543 --> 14:13.364 drives off. He says, 'When can I expect you?' He's just like 14:13.580 --> 14:16.841 Fuck you, I'll just show up. Yeah, I'll be there. 'Cause Tillman's got a plane 14:17.341 --> 14:18.707 ticket for him. He's like, yeah, I bought your plane ticket. He goes, I don't 14:19.207 --> 14:22.560 fly, too dangerous. When, 14:22.819 --> 14:25.943 yeah, okay. So he's off to Jasper, Missouri. Originally we're just 14:25.975 --> 14:28.808 told, oh, it's, I got this bar, the Double Deuce, Tillman says, I got this 14:28.824 --> 14:31.252 bar. I recently came into some money and I want to clean it up. 14:31.300 --> 14:33.458 Right now it's a place where you sweep up the eyeballs at the end of 14:33.958 --> 14:36.759 the night, which is like, I don't even really want to unpack all that. 14:37.049 --> 14:40.334 But, you know, we find out it's not just outside Kansas City, it's actually a 14:40.834 --> 14:44.599 place called Jasper, Missouri. So we are talking about, You know, I'm assuming somewhere kind 14:45.099 --> 14:48.534 of in the middle of Missouri, near Kansas City, but not that near. Yeah. 14:48.825 --> 14:50.720 So not really close to St. Louis or anything like that, right? So this is 14:51.220 --> 14:55.355 like rural Missouri. This is that town with like 5,000 population 14:55.532 --> 14:59.212 at most. At most. Absolutely. Yeah. They have the Double Deuce Bar. 14:59.422 --> 15:02.975 They have an auto parts store and a Ford dealership and then a general 15:03.475 --> 15:05.837 store. Yeah. That seems like about it. And they're all close to each other. 15:05.886 --> 15:09.298 In some shots, you can see multiple of them in the same establishing shot. 15:09.427 --> 15:11.846 Yeah. It's like the kind of town that has like a single stoplight, if any, 15:11.911 --> 15:15.548 right? And so that is one reason why I I do not for a second 15:16.048 --> 15:18.965 believe when we first see the Double Deuce and it is a rowdy, crazy place. 15:19.350 --> 15:21.547 It's got the chicken wire up in front of the band. So they, you know, 15:21.563 --> 15:24.403 all the bottles being thrown at them, which I'm like, how is that even helpful? 15:24.467 --> 15:27.242 Because that the glass is just gonna shatter against the thing and go through, 15:27.306 --> 15:31.204 through them. But whatever. There are not, there are not this many 15:31.704 --> 15:35.054 sort of like classically LA hot women in 15:35.554 --> 15:38.664 a place like Jasper, Missouri. Dude, it's like— All the women look like Larry and 15:39.164 --> 15:42.965 Balki's girlfriends on Perfect Strangers. Exactly. Yes. Oh my God, 15:43.061 --> 15:46.371 good pull. Yeah, it's, it's wild. It just doesn't make sense for like, 15:46.596 --> 15:50.115 for like where they are. Yeah, you know, not at all. And the guys, 15:50.244 --> 15:53.490 it's not like it's also classy guys. No, the guys 15:53.538 --> 15:56.864 are like all a bunch of shit kickers, like just 15:57.057 --> 16:00.672 poorly groomed, slobby, uh, just horrible. Yeah, all the 16:01.172 --> 16:04.528 staff looks like what I'd expect from, from that area. You know, most of 16:05.028 --> 16:07.244 the dudes in that place, yeah, are just sort of like schlubs. And then there's 16:07.744 --> 16:11.445 these like miniskirt-clad, you know, big hair, kind of like, like I 16:11.945 --> 16:14.988 said, like kind of especially late '80s, like L.A. women, you know, looking like hot 16:15.036 --> 16:19.284 chicks. Yeah. And it just doesn't make any sense because they're 16:19.784 --> 16:23.196 outside of Kansas City, Missouri. Maybe, maybe I am just totally, you know, 16:23.436 --> 16:26.867 ignorant about the, the kind of people in Missouri. 16:27.043 --> 16:30.105 It seems like you'd want to go into the big city, you know, if you're, 16:30.249 --> 16:33.375 if you're dressing up that much, drive the extra 20 miles. 16:33.696 --> 16:37.738 Exactly. And go, so maybe, maybe you run into, uh, Brett Saberhagen 16:38.238 --> 16:41.572 or something like that. Um, so Dalton is kind of like looking 16:42.072 --> 16:44.668 around the Double Deuce and he's scoping it out. And again, this is like his 16:44.781 --> 16:47.829 vision. He can spot the problems immediately and he can see, 16:48.374 --> 16:51.310 you know, the, uh, the drug deals happening, 16:51.502 --> 16:54.374 the bouncers letting people in with fake IDs, and, 16:54.967 --> 16:59.026 you know, the bartender skimming from the till and all that stuff. So dude, 16:59.042 --> 17:02.329 he immediately— he's like He's like a John Taffer. 17:03.291 --> 17:06.913 He's like a superhuman John Taffer. Which would really be 17:07.413 --> 17:11.145 just a human. Yeah. Would be a superhuman John Taffer. No, but like, 17:11.305 --> 17:14.399 he, you know, especially the fake ID thing, like it's clear that one particular like 17:14.447 --> 17:17.989 member of the security staff is letting in clearly underage women. 17:18.054 --> 17:20.891 Like these are young looking girls compared to some of the others in the area. 17:20.939 --> 17:24.273 And so, you know, that's gross. And he does clock that. But almost immediately 17:24.305 --> 17:27.591 one of the waitresses, her name's Carrie Ann, we meet her. She's much more 17:28.091 --> 17:30.910 kind of, a little more homely, a little more mousy, you know, than the kind 17:31.410 --> 17:33.653 of women who are the patrons there. But she, like, knows who he is. 17:33.781 --> 17:37.293 Like, immediately is like, "Oh, I know you." That's the wildest thing. How the fuck 17:37.793 --> 17:41.671 do these people know who this guy is? Working at a bar, you know— And 17:41.847 --> 17:45.199 just, like, how would— Unless the guy said, 17:45.215 --> 17:48.342 "Hey, Dalton's coming. His hair looks like this." Right. 17:48.598 --> 17:52.062 "Who's Dalton?" "Oh, he's the world's best cooler." Which even— How did Tillman even know? 17:52.511 --> 17:55.569 Right. It's like, how does Tillman know who he is? How does Carrie-Anne know who 17:55.585 --> 17:58.747 he is? Like everybody else? Oh, that's Dalton. First of all, one fucking name. 17:58.827 --> 18:01.166 Like, there may be a lot of people named Dalton. Like, I don't know why 18:01.666 --> 18:04.810 this— it's not Cher or Madonna, right? Like, this could potentially be multiple people. 18:05.179 --> 18:08.456 But yeah, everybody knows who he is. And it's like, that doesn't make any 18:08.505 --> 18:12.248 sense. Not at all. This is like pre-internet even. This isn't even like, you know, 18:12.264 --> 18:14.885 he went viral on TikTok, so we all know who he is. Like, none of 18:14.918 --> 18:18.467 that shit. Yeah, yeah. Um, but he's 18:18.967 --> 18:21.838 so legendary. I mean, he has an aura about him, right? Nobody goes in and 18:21.855 --> 18:24.400 then, you know, the bartender's kind of pissed that he's not drinking, 18:26.386 --> 18:29.193 Played by Terry Funk, former WWF wrestler. 18:29.273 --> 18:32.689 Morgan. Yeah. Uh, so, 18:33.283 --> 18:36.939 uh, all this stuff is happening and one guy hits on 18:37.613 --> 18:40.756 the blonde chick, like one of these big-haired hot blonde chicks, and he 18:41.256 --> 18:44.638 says— and this is like a gross-looking guy— and he says, what do you say 18:44.830 --> 18:48.294 you and me get nipple to nipple? I've used 18:48.794 --> 18:51.823 that line. I've used that line. You can ask my wife. Uh, yeah, and her 18:51.887 --> 18:55.079 response is, I can do that without you, I believe is what she says, 18:55.175 --> 18:58.776 which Uh, I'll be honest, maybe see it, give it a 18:59.276 --> 19:02.757 shot. Yeah, I know, I'd like to see the effort there. Quite the parlor trick 19:03.257 --> 19:05.264 if, if possible, because it doesn't sound like the kind of thing you can do 19:05.764 --> 19:08.315 on your own. But then, you know, the, uh, the owner's kind of walking around 19:08.541 --> 19:12.235 and showing, you know, how dilapidated this bar is, and there's all this graffiti 19:12.251 --> 19:15.172 on the wall and people have written there, and somebody has written like, for a 19:15.672 --> 19:18.690 great fuck, call whatever. Yeah. And the owner takes out a Sharpie and he changes 19:18.803 --> 19:22.547 fuck to Buick, which I thought was just— oh, that's so great. I love 19:22.595 --> 19:25.795 that. Oh man, that's— at least it's an American car. Yeah. Um, And then 19:25.828 --> 19:28.855 there's a big bar fight that starts. And the way it starts is this one 19:28.903 --> 19:32.944 guy sitting with his girlfriend, wife, whatever, some girl he's with is 19:33.009 --> 19:35.086 looking. These two guys are staring at her and he looks up at them and 19:35.586 --> 19:38.106 goes, hey, like, I'll let you kiss him. Like, what do you think? You know, 19:38.171 --> 19:41.499 her boobs, right? For $20, you can kiss them, $10 each or whatever. 19:41.563 --> 19:44.680 And the guy's like, oh, okay. He reaches over. She doesn't take her clothes off, 19:44.729 --> 19:47.632 but she takes her top down to her bra. And the guy starts massaging her 19:48.132 --> 19:49.600 tits. And the guy's like, what are you going to do? What are you doing? 19:49.648 --> 19:51.422 You're going to kiss him? He's like, no. It's like, well, then what are you 19:51.922 --> 19:54.922 doing? It's like, I don't got $20. And that starts a huge brawl. 19:55.179 --> 19:58.534 Yeah, absolutely wild. I like when those fights start 19:59.034 --> 20:02.643 where it's like between, you know, these 4 people. Yeah. And then 2 20:03.143 --> 20:06.238 guys that are sitting way over by the jukebox just start punching each other on 20:06.738 --> 20:10.797 cue. Very Airplane. Oh, it was awesome, dude. It was very— this whole thing was 20:10.910 --> 20:14.361 like— and people are doing WWF finishing moves to each 20:14.861 --> 20:17.972 other. There's suplexes, picking people up and throwing them. This looked like 20:18.472 --> 20:21.705 the Royal Rumble. There were bottles flying, there were chairs flying. Women were in it. 20:21.770 --> 20:25.228 Like, it didn't matter who you were. This was an equal opportunity brawl. 20:25.648 --> 20:27.442 An egalitarian Hell in a Cell match. 20:29.370 --> 20:32.944 Um, yeah. So, uh, yeah, yeah. So Dalton's got to get— 20:33.024 --> 20:35.874 he knows, he knows what he has to fix. Yeah, he knows what the situation 20:35.906 --> 20:38.514 is. He knows how rowdy it is now. You know, he talks to Tillman a 20:39.014 --> 20:40.700 little bit, but then he goes and gets a new car. Not like a new 20:40.813 --> 20:43.480 car, obviously. He gets a different car because his car, he knows he's going to 20:43.980 --> 20:46.276 get messed up. So he buys, you know, the shitty old— I don't know if 20:46.776 --> 20:48.692 it's like a Grand Prix or something like that. It's like an old, like, 20:48.741 --> 20:52.108 Pontiac maybe. Um, not even 100% sure, but like, he You 20:52.608 --> 20:55.071 know, drives it and he takes it to the auto parts place and buys a 20:55.571 --> 20:57.905 bunch of tires because he just knows, like, when he gets started, he's gonna get 20:57.953 --> 21:01.334 like— they're gonna get window busted and slash my tires. Like, he's prepped, which is 21:01.834 --> 21:04.432 really smart. So he buys this crappy car to do that. Um, and, uh, 21:04.980 --> 21:07.094 and then I think brief— oh, and then this is when he finds where to 21:07.142 --> 21:11.063 live. And this is cool. We meet Emmett, who's this really cool grizzled old guy 21:11.257 --> 21:14.130 with a great beard, like an awesome old guy beard. Yeah, uh, 21:14.485 --> 21:17.712 really fantastic. Like, like, honestly adjacent to Santa 21:18.212 --> 21:20.848 Claus. Like, that's how good the beard is. Um, and he basically is like willing 21:20.881 --> 21:24.360 to rent this barn apartment out to Dalton, which is gorgeous. 21:24.409 --> 21:27.758 It's like this beautiful, like, remodeled hayloft, 21:27.822 --> 21:30.737 right? You know, and he's fully furnished. Oh, no electricity. It's like, 21:31.139 --> 21:34.521 it seems like it's always the perfect temperature there. It looks out on 21:35.021 --> 21:37.385 this river, like, this beautiful view and everything. I mean, 21:37.987 --> 21:41.387 yeah, I'm very jealous. That's one of my favorite lofts. Yeah, it does 21:41.420 --> 21:45.232 have those wild, like, sort of piano-loading windows that open, like, completely top 21:45.732 --> 21:48.440 down. It's a very dangerous kind of thing, but, you know, it's beautiful. I think 21:48.940 --> 21:51.873 he says it's $100 a month. Yeah. Are you I, goddamn, I get that it's 21:52.373 --> 21:55.914 Missouri in 1989, but still, that's wild. But across 21:56.414 --> 22:00.035 the little river from them is a person that we're meeting now who 22:00.164 --> 22:03.329 lives there named Brad Wesley. And Brad arrives via helicopter, 22:03.698 --> 22:06.879 which terrifies Emmett's horses. And Emmett and Dalton both run down 22:06.911 --> 22:10.399 to like calm them, whatever. And yeah, we just kind of get a glimpse of 22:10.899 --> 22:14.429 like, it's clear Wesley is a shitty rich guy who like flies in on a 22:14.929 --> 22:20.103 helicopter and lives just across the creek for whatever reason. This little creek separates Emmett's 22:20.603 --> 22:23.842 farm or ranch or whatever it is from Brad Wesley. Like Scarface estate, got palatial, 22:24.050 --> 22:27.383 like, you know, fucking Dom Herrera in, uh, in Commando mansion, 22:27.639 --> 22:31.261 basically. Uh, but yeah, so that's, that's— now we finally meet, we meet Brad 22:31.761 --> 22:34.369 Wesley, just get a little glimpse of him. When I was a kid, my grandfather 22:34.385 --> 22:38.215 lived in, uh, Cape Cod, and they were on this canal. 22:38.728 --> 22:41.948 So, you know, his place was on the water, and a few properties down from 22:41.980 --> 22:45.217 him was this, like, seafood processing guy, this guy who, like, 22:45.345 --> 22:48.728 had licenses to get clams and quahogs and all this stuff. And my 22:48.792 --> 22:52.207 grandfather and that guy, he was like his arch enemy. And so he 22:52.239 --> 22:55.654 was like the Brad Wesley of the street. And one thing that that guy 22:55.702 --> 22:59.230 did in revenge for my grandfather taking out like 22:59.730 --> 23:02.965 3 little grandkids to pull like 5 total clams out of the ground that really 23:02.997 --> 23:06.284 belonged to this guy, he dumped all the broken clamshells from 23:06.784 --> 23:10.501 his factory in, in the water in front of my grandfather's house so that 23:10.533 --> 23:13.146 we could never go in the water without shoes on because it was all like 23:13.162 --> 23:16.448 broken pieces of shells and stuff. Love it. So, uh, fuck Mr. 23:16.496 --> 23:19.629 Kelly. Yeah, fuck Mr. Kelly. Fuck Brad Wesley. That's right. 23:19.694 --> 23:23.150 But yeah, Brad Wesley, man, what a, uh, what an entrance 23:23.199 --> 23:27.176 for him. And Ben Gazara, who plays Wesley, is just not an intimidating 23:27.676 --> 23:30.281 or scary guy. He's a good actor. He's not a great actor. He's a good 23:30.313 --> 23:33.805 actor, and he definitely tries everything he can with this role. But like, 23:33.951 --> 23:36.811 there are a few scenes where he acts so tough, 23:36.941 --> 23:39.623 like, you don't know why I don't like you, O'Connor, you're a bleeder. Like, 23:39.672 --> 23:42.647 you know, yeah, that stuff we'll get to later, but He— it's not scary. 23:42.793 --> 23:46.556 He's not scary at all. Well, and he's never really confronted. Like, he's just 23:46.589 --> 23:49.819 beating on a guy who's not allowed to hit back. True, that's a good point. 23:50.643 --> 23:53.385 Uh, yeah, I would have rather seen Paul Gleason in this role. I feel like 23:53.885 --> 23:57.567 he would have been scarier. Dude, I would have loved some Gleason. Um, so now 23:57.583 --> 24:01.060 they're having like a staff meeting at the Double Deuce, and Dalton's running shit, 24:01.172 --> 24:04.569 you know, and he starts firing people. He's, you know, telling the guys like, 24:05.036 --> 24:08.100 you know, I saw you— you don't have the right temperament to Terry Funk, 24:08.116 --> 24:11.793 get out of here. I saw you stealing, I saw you dealing drugs. He gives 24:11.809 --> 24:15.086 the 3 most important rules in life, which are: never 24:15.182 --> 24:18.217 underestimate your opponent. 24:18.571 --> 24:21.622 Number 2, always take it outside. And number 3, 24:21.702 --> 24:26.167 be nice. So those are his things. And he's really emphasizing 24:26.199 --> 24:29.315 that. And there's actually, and this sort of goes right to Dalton's sort of Zen-like 24:29.815 --> 24:32.318 take on everything. And, you know, one of the guys who has not yet been 24:32.366 --> 24:36.204 fired, I think his name is Steve, asks him, well, so a guy calls 24:36.220 --> 24:39.630 me a cocksucker. Like, that's not personal? And he goes, no, 24:39.790 --> 24:43.277 it's a few syllables that are intended to elicit a response. 24:43.325 --> 24:46.136 Like, you can control how you respond to that. It's just words. Like, 24:46.458 --> 24:49.398 you're nice until it's time not to be nice. And then like somebody, and then 24:49.415 --> 24:51.407 he goes, what if he calls my mom a whore? And she goes, he goes, 24:51.681 --> 24:55.377 well, is she? And it's just like a great, like, you know, why do 24:55.457 --> 24:58.645 you care? It's like, it reminded me, it's so funny. 24:58.693 --> 25:01.145 Like I've never really thought of this in this context because of the order of 25:01.194 --> 25:04.372 these pieces of art that I was, you know, that I encountered. 25:04.420 --> 25:06.953 But there's a great scene in the TV show Schitt's Creek, which I've mentioned on 25:07.050 --> 25:10.331 this podcast a few times. Where one of the characters, Alexis, tells her brother 25:10.813 --> 25:14.717 David, like, "Nobody's thinking about you the way you're thinking about you." And the idea 25:14.733 --> 25:18.367 is just like, you can't let what other people say or think about you matter, 25:18.432 --> 25:21.787 'cause it really doesn't. And I feel like it's very much what Dalton's trying to 25:21.819 --> 25:25.239 impart on this bunch of rowdy bouncers and bartenders. It's like, 25:25.256 --> 25:27.482 "Dude, it doesn't matter. They're just trying to get a rise out of you. 25:27.644 --> 25:30.621 You are not actually a cocksucker, unless you are, in which case, whatever, 25:30.653 --> 25:34.374 go enjoy sucking cock. But why should it matter?" Right? 25:34.503 --> 25:37.170 Yeah. Well, 'cause they're all in like, "I wish a motherfucker would" mode. And Dalton's 25:37.670 --> 25:41.324 trying to get them out of that headspace. Headspace. 25:41.406 --> 25:45.142 Exactly. And Dalton, when he's at the bar, when he's working, he's only drinking black 25:45.223 --> 25:48.666 coffee. And at one point he goes to order coffee from the 25:49.166 --> 25:52.999 bar and the guy says, leaded or unleaded? And Dalton chuckles 25:53.015 --> 25:55.521 at it. It's a great little line. It's like, really? Isn't that a thing that 25:56.021 --> 25:59.208 people have said forever? He probably would've heard that a lot. But I think Dalton's, 25:59.240 --> 26:02.410 he's trying to build up the community and stuff. He's got to build rapport 26:02.523 --> 26:04.566 with his new direct reports. Yeah. Yep. 26:06.202 --> 26:09.758 Uh, let's see. So we see some more action here. 26:09.822 --> 26:13.507 Dalton's seeing some stealing. He's seeing some— yeah, the fake IDs get 26:14.007 --> 26:16.694 let in. Uh, a guy confronts Dalton. He's like, uh, 26:17.065 --> 26:20.012 there's a lady dancing up on a table and Dalton's trying to get her down, 26:20.109 --> 26:23.749 and this guy's like, oh, fuck you, man. Pulls out switchblade, the official 26:24.249 --> 26:27.627 weapon of crime. There you go. And, uh, Dalton's like, smashes his head through 26:28.127 --> 26:30.942 a cocktail table. Really smoothly. Smoothly but viciously. 26:31.330 --> 26:34.319 Real good. Was that thing made of graham crackers? I can't believe how like easily 26:34.335 --> 26:37.624 it went through. It did look like maybe like particle board or something 26:38.124 --> 26:40.631 like, yeah, or like balsa wood, the kind of thing you make paper airplanes out 26:41.131 --> 26:44.587 of back in the day. And then, and then, uh, Tillman watching him, he's just 26:45.087 --> 26:48.386 like, he's good, right? Real good. Tillman's enjoyment 26:48.886 --> 26:52.234 scenes, dude, it looks like, uh, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Boogie Nights where he's 26:52.734 --> 26:55.809 holding the boom mic and seeing Dirk Diggler's dick for the first time. He's just 26:56.309 --> 26:59.321 like, yeah, yes. And John Lovitz in The Wedding Singer, like, 26:59.386 --> 27:03.027 he's going, he's losing it, and I'll reap the benefit. Like, it's just got that 27:03.092 --> 27:06.366 look. John loves it. It's like an evil enjoyment that he's having. 27:06.705 --> 27:10.200 Oh, uh, and what Dalton says at the end of all this 27:10.490 --> 27:13.307 ordeal, you know, where it seems like, yay, Dalton saved the day, he's like, 27:13.339 --> 27:16.779 it'll get worse before it gets better. And he walks out then to 27:17.279 --> 27:20.443 see that his car has become destroyed à la the Street 27:20.475 --> 27:24.170 Fighter 2 bonus level. That's right. Yeah, yeah, it's just completely smashed, 27:24.186 --> 27:27.487 like you said, tires, window, everything. Antenna got ripped 27:27.987 --> 27:30.658 off. Uh, before he leaves for the night, he does catch— so Steve is one 27:31.158 --> 27:33.123 of the bouncers who's letting in the people with no ID. Oh yeah. And he 27:33.623 --> 27:37.233 takes one of them back to the storeroom room and is banging her. It's literally 27:37.250 --> 27:41.085 like, you're gonna be my regular Saturday night thing, baby, which is 27:41.102 --> 27:44.313 just the most romantic thing said in this movie. Um, but that's when 27:44.346 --> 27:47.390 Dalton— that's when Dalton catches, you know, it's like, uh, you're out of here. 27:47.487 --> 27:50.322 Like, can you fire Steve then? And then, yeah, he fires the bartender who saw 27:50.387 --> 27:54.090 was skimming. Um, and the bartender is very incredulous about it, and we learn why 27:54.171 --> 27:56.484 quickly, but he's kind of like, are you sure? Yeah, sure, I want to hear 27:56.500 --> 27:58.571 it from this, you know, from Tillman, wherever he goes, you're out of here, 27:58.781 --> 28:00.820 you know, whatever. And it's like, so he does fire him, but it's like clear 28:01.320 --> 28:04.484 there was like an expectation. That guy clearly had an expectation he'd never be fired 28:04.984 --> 28:07.441 for whatever reason. Yeah, even when he brought up the reason, he was like, 28:07.521 --> 28:11.136 I figure you're costing this place $150 a night. And the bartender was 28:11.636 --> 28:14.744 just like, so? He wasn't like, yeah, but I bring in people. Like, there was 28:14.776 --> 28:17.901 no counterargument. It was just like, and what? Right. Yeah. 28:18.545 --> 28:22.073 Um, and then we get an interesting little moment. Dalton's gone back home 28:22.250 --> 28:24.811 and he's like going to bed, or maybe he's actually asleep, whatever. And a pool 28:24.843 --> 28:27.340 party in the middle of the night breaks out across the river at, uh, 28:27.966 --> 28:31.735 at Wesley's house, you know, we get some classic '80s movie nudity because 28:32.235 --> 28:35.166 you got to have some topless in any '80s movie that's rated R. We get 28:35.666 --> 28:36.834 a little bit of that, but there's really no other point to this scene. 28:36.882 --> 28:40.105 I guess it's just driving home again that, you know, if nothing else, Wesley is 28:40.605 --> 28:44.146 a terrible neighbor. He is not— he's an annoying neighbor. Yeah, and this is quiet 28:44.242 --> 28:48.011 farm country until Wesley with his big city ideas comes in and starts 28:48.043 --> 28:50.881 making it rowdy. And his jacuzzi, the goddamn jacuzzi. 28:52.517 --> 28:56.723 Like, we get, uh, we get kind of like a boring visit 28:57.223 --> 29:00.412 from the server Carrie-Anne, who's there to— yeah, and she's 29:00.590 --> 29:03.486 obviously like, I mean, you know, everyone who sees Dalton, 29:03.502 --> 29:06.650 he's legendary. But then, you know, he's walking around with his clothes off and 29:07.150 --> 29:11.023 everything, she's just like, she bought him a very greasy breakfast sandwich 29:11.523 --> 29:14.486 and a coffee. You know, she doesn't want the sandwich, she just wants the black 29:14.986 --> 29:16.591 coffee. But I will say, like, we do get a lot of Patrick Swayze butt 29:17.091 --> 29:19.033 in this movie, so if you're down with Patrick Swayze butt, there's plenty of it. 29:19.081 --> 29:21.716 It's a great place for it. There is a little bit of Kelly Lynch butt 29:22.216 --> 29:23.912 later, which kind of balances things out a little bit. But yeah, like, uh, 29:24.359 --> 29:26.800 a lot of that going on. And yeah, Carrie-Anne is like— she basically swoons. 29:26.848 --> 29:30.178 And the way that she looks at him reminded me of— 29:30.678 --> 29:33.984 do you remember that Saturday Night Live sketch, uh, Schmitz Gay, 29:34.385 --> 29:37.904 that was Adam Sandler and Chris Farley? And the way they go, whoa, like lift 29:38.404 --> 29:42.355 their sunglasses up. Like, she's looking at him just like that. Just amazing. 29:42.403 --> 29:45.907 She couldn't handle it. Yeah, I mean, if he did like brush her 29:46.279 --> 29:49.382 knee by accident, she, she would lose it. 29:49.512 --> 29:52.923 I don't know if she'd know what to do. Yeah, absolutely. There would be a 29:53.423 --> 29:56.511 pool party. Um, so we get it, we get a Brad 29:56.527 --> 30:00.301 Wesley action here, and he's driving in a very sick, 30:00.397 --> 30:03.705 like, red Mustang 5.0 convertible, and it's like, 30:03.929 --> 30:07.044 life is but a dream, like playing this, you know, 30:07.125 --> 30:10.448 old-timey music, and he is swerving like all through the lanes. 30:10.497 --> 30:13.210 He's the only car on the road, but he is swerving around like an asshole. 30:13.387 --> 30:17.128 Yep. And as Dalton, you know, Dalton's driving by and almost hits 30:17.176 --> 30:20.130 him, like Wesley's not trying to get out of his way. So it's a good 30:20.291 --> 30:23.761 demonstration of like How do we say this guy owns the town 30:24.261 --> 30:27.415 without having a character say this guy owns the town? We need to take 30:27.915 --> 30:31.812 a second because at this point we've now had 3 separate moments with Brad Wesley, 30:31.877 --> 30:34.952 and I want to recap everything we know about him so far. Let's Wes it 30:35.017 --> 30:38.513 up. He arrives at his palatial estate in a helicopter that scares a 30:39.013 --> 30:41.251 bunch of horses. Yep. He throws a pool party in the middle of the night, 30:41.866 --> 30:44.679 and he drives all over both sides of the road. That's it. That's all we 30:45.179 --> 30:48.107 know about— about— Hell of a guy. Brad Wesley at this point. But it's like, 30:48.433 --> 30:50.655 they're just doing all these little things. Like you said, you don't want to tell 30:50.688 --> 30:53.844 people, oh, this is the evil guy that like runs the town. We need to 30:54.344 --> 30:57.033 like show it, you know, which I do appreciate. It's a movie. It's a show, 30:57.050 --> 31:00.626 not tell medium, but also it's a little like ham-fisted. And, 31:00.819 --> 31:03.622 you know, also he's always wearing one of those like Panama hats. 31:03.815 --> 31:06.779 Yeah. Which is always a bad guy hat. Yeah. I'm trying to think of a— 31:07.279 --> 31:10.982 Panama, like, yeah, exactly. It's the drug dealer that James Bond 31:11.482 --> 31:14.347 has to foil or whatever. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Goldfinger wears one at some point. 31:14.444 --> 31:17.716 Yeah. Yeah. It's another bad guy trait for good old Brad Wesley. 31:18.436 --> 31:22.622 Um, so Emmett— there's a quick scene where Emmett like discovers Dalton's 31:22.686 --> 31:25.909 Benz like hiding under here, realizes, oh, this guy isn't all he's 31:26.409 --> 31:29.533 cracked up to be. He looks outside and sees Dalton doing a lot of 31:29.581 --> 31:33.542 like oiled-up shirtless tai chi out by the riverbank. 31:33.991 --> 31:36.989 Yeah, before that though, we actually go— but Dalton goes to Red's Auto Shop. 31:37.054 --> 31:40.613 We meet Red. Oh yeah, who runs the auto parts store in town. 31:41.046 --> 31:44.093 Um, Dalton needs, you know, a new antenna and I think it's something else or 31:44.593 --> 31:47.408 whatever that he needs to order. To start repairing parts of his car that have 31:47.908 --> 31:51.273 been destroyed. And I think it's either like as Dalton leaves or after Dalton leaves, 31:51.515 --> 31:54.280 Brad shows up. We get a little more Brad Wesley with Jimmy. And this is 31:54.329 --> 31:57.558 the first time we're seeing his like right-hand man, Jimmy, who for 31:58.058 --> 31:59.899 a second I thought was the— I don't know if you ever watched the show 31:59.915 --> 32:03.708 Billions, but there's this like therapist guy who's like this Zen or 32:04.208 --> 32:07.267 sort of like Japanese-inspired samurai guy who's like a performance coach. 32:07.331 --> 32:09.810 And I thought for sure, I'm like, is that the same guy? But the timing 32:10.310 --> 32:11.501 doesn't work out. The guy would have been much older and it's not him, 32:11.517 --> 32:14.710 but he looks a lot like him. Uh, and Jimmy is, you know, 32:14.902 --> 32:17.002 just a badass. We're just clear where it's— he's a bad— now this is a 32:17.050 --> 32:20.866 classic, like, square-jawed '80s asshole-looking guy with an actual mullet, 32:20.962 --> 32:24.264 like much more than Dalton. Very much a real mullet. Yeah, I mean, he'd, 32:24.408 --> 32:27.871 he'd have a place on any, like, hockey team of that era. 32:28.095 --> 32:29.650 The Vandals sang about him. And, 32:30.901 --> 32:34.491 and he has, like, the rage of that '80s guy who's like, I should have 32:34.523 --> 32:37.890 been Joe Piscopo's stunt double, but Joe Piscopo 32:38.390 --> 32:41.577 didn't need a stunt double, and now I'm just a henchman, and it sucks. 32:42.122 --> 32:45.719 Uh, but yeah, Jimmy, very intimidating. He's a guy who will come do karate on 32:45.751 --> 32:48.804 your whole store if you don't pay up. Yeah. And so they're extorting like, 32:48.965 --> 32:52.290 you know, 10% of everyone's money or whatever. 32:52.435 --> 32:55.970 Which again, we should pause for just a second and recognize that Brad Wesley 32:56.470 --> 33:00.440 apparently got rich by keeping— by having a protection racket on 33:00.472 --> 33:04.458 the town of Jasper, Missouri. So apparently taking 10% of everything 33:04.571 --> 33:07.705 earned by literally every business in town. I'm still imagining that's 33:08.205 --> 33:11.615 like maybe $1,000 a month. Like, why? Why is this something that makes him rich? 33:11.732 --> 33:14.452 Like, yeah, I don't understand it. It doesn't make any sense. He's got to be 33:15.640 --> 33:18.893 skimming off. There has to be some— or, you know, maybe Brad Wesley inherited 33:19.393 --> 33:21.839 all this money, but he has a story to make it sound like he's earning 33:21.888 --> 33:24.878 it. And his idea was, hey, I take 10% of it. Because yeah, 33:25.280 --> 33:28.895 he's not making helicopter money taking 10% of a fucking auto parts 33:29.395 --> 33:31.772 store. Yeah, no, it's not. It's very interesting. So then we get the part where, 33:31.788 --> 33:35.072 yeah, we're like, Red finds the, uh, or not Red, uh, Emmett finds the Mercedes 33:35.104 --> 33:38.251 and like sees, uh, Dalton out there doing tai chi. And I gotta be 33:38.315 --> 33:42.575 honest with you, the way Emmett looks at Dalton doing tai chi is exactly 33:42.608 --> 33:45.405 the way Carrie-Anne looked at Dalton's butt when he was naked. Like, there is a 33:45.905 --> 33:49.400 lust in this And the way Tillman looks at Dalton when he 33:49.900 --> 33:53.127 does a good job, I think he's that, uh, you know, he's just the guy 33:53.239 --> 33:56.983 everyone's falling in love with him. It's basically Dalton is responsible 33:57.031 --> 34:00.100 for bringing pansexuality to Jasper, Missouri. That's like, 34:00.421 --> 34:03.811 he is literally the guy for everyone. 34:03.923 --> 34:06.607 Doesn't even matter. All the latency is coming out. 34:08.342 --> 34:11.989 Oh my God. Yeah, so now Dalton's back at the Double Deuce, and in 34:12.489 --> 34:14.953 the office he sees that this bartender that he had he had fired, right, 34:15.050 --> 34:18.220 is back. And he's like, I'll be working here again. And it turns out he 34:18.720 --> 34:22.149 is Brad Wesley's nephew. Yes. And he's got a couple of the henchmen with him, 34:22.230 --> 34:26.369 one really tall, like almost 7-foot guy. Crazy. And then one perfect— 34:26.869 --> 34:29.534 they did a great job of like, all right, we don't want people to have 34:29.582 --> 34:33.085 to remember faces, so we got, we got tall guy, we got very fat 34:33.150 --> 34:36.337 guy, we got, you know, normal-ish guy. Yeah, sunglasses guy. That's true. 34:36.643 --> 34:39.943 It's like ice hockey on Nintendo. They have the different body types that you could 34:40.443 --> 34:43.541 choose from. Uh, so this quickly turns into a fight because Dalton's like, oh, 34:43.558 --> 34:46.707 you can't hire this guy back, he's stealing you. 34:46.948 --> 34:50.007 And, uh, and this guy pulls out an insane, like, 34:50.103 --> 34:53.854 Rambo knife. Yeah, combat knife. Enormous. It's like, 34:53.886 --> 34:56.447 uh, yeah, I mean, it's, it looks like something out of Predator, like it's a 34:56.947 --> 35:00.883 half machete. Yeah, it's huge. So, you know, we get people getting chucked through windows 35:01.061 --> 35:04.526 and some more fights, and Dalton, uh, was stabbed again. Yeah, and this is 35:04.558 --> 35:08.202 not a self-surgery situation. He's got to go to the hospital. He's slashed pretty badly, 35:08.509 --> 35:11.651 like, along his ribs, sort of. Yeah, that's going to be a difficult place to 35:11.684 --> 35:14.113 reach because you're only going to have, like, one hand. And it looks like too 35:14.368 --> 35:16.628 It was like on his right side. He's probably, I think he's right-handed based on 35:16.660 --> 35:18.824 how he sewed up, you know, his left arm, whatever. And so I could see 35:18.840 --> 35:21.452 where it's like, yeah, he's not gonna try to tackle it himself. So he's bleeding 35:21.468 --> 35:24.289 all over everything, but does decide to go to the hospital. And this is where 35:24.789 --> 35:28.216 we meet the love interest of the movie, Dr. Elizabeth Clay, played by Kelly Lynch. 35:28.360 --> 35:31.630 She's the one who comes in to help him. He literally carries his 35:31.742 --> 35:35.108 like HIPAA, you know, like medical records around 35:35.608 --> 35:39.099 with him everywhere because, you know, it comes in handy, he says, like that's 35:39.599 --> 35:42.753 the thing. And, you know, she's like, she makes a comment about, 35:43.079 --> 35:45.709 about, uh, oh, that's a pretty good job on that scar, you know, or whatever. 35:45.757 --> 35:48.355 Like, there's the recent arm scar. The gun— she goes, thank you. And she goes, 35:48.774 --> 35:51.533 you did that yourself? He's like, yeah. And then she offers him pain medication. 35:51.582 --> 35:54.750 He goes, it's gonna hurt. And he goes, pain don't hurt. And it's like, 35:55.655 --> 35:58.810 this is— to me, like, I love this line, but it also always is like, 35:58.875 --> 36:02.661 God, this is such a second-tier line to Jesse Ventura in Predator saying, 36:02.677 --> 36:05.687 I ain't got time to bleed. Yeah. Like, that's such a better way of basically 36:06.187 --> 36:09.053 saying the same thing, you know what I mean? And that's just the screenwriters, 36:09.085 --> 36:10.218 I think, the skill there, you know. 36:12.748 --> 36:16.363 The doctor— Dalton makes a comment that he works at the Double Deuce, 36:16.379 --> 36:20.091 and the doctor says, oh, that place sends me a lot of business. All those 36:20.219 --> 36:23.449 eyeballs get swept up. And then of course she gives him the, I thought you'd 36:23.949 --> 36:26.887 be bigger, before you leave. So we haven't mentioned a trope throughout the film. 36:26.968 --> 36:30.695 Tillman said it for sure. I think Carrie-Anne said it to him. Now Dr. 36:30.744 --> 36:33.636 Clay has said it to him. So yeah, several people over the course of the 36:34.136 --> 36:37.492 movie say, I thought you'd be bigger. Sam Elliott's character Wade Garrett even 36:37.508 --> 36:40.569 makes a joke about Oh, but you thought he'd be bigger, you know, kind of 36:40.601 --> 36:43.737 thing. Because he knows that people say that to him all the time. Yeah, 36:43.834 --> 36:47.051 exactly. So, you know, the legend, he's got to be 36:47.551 --> 36:50.576 bigger. Now we see one of my favorite— Yeah, yeah. Sorry, on the hospital thing, 36:50.994 --> 36:54.874 there is no world in which the MD is doing that sewing job or 36:55.374 --> 36:58.096 that stapling job. That is— there's just no way. That is a nurse is doing 36:58.596 --> 37:00.767 that job. Like, male or female, I don't care. But like, there's just no way 37:00.832 --> 37:03.649 the doctor— the doctor would come in, check you, go, yep, you need staples. 37:04.056 --> 37:06.842 Maybe here's a prescription for pain meds and I'm gone. Like, there's no way the 37:06.924 --> 37:10.308 doctor— when a nurse was in there, like, prepping the area or whatever, ever. 37:10.677 --> 37:13.628 Somebody that hot though, let's say the doctor's not busy, 37:13.644 --> 37:16.755 she's like, I'd love a chance to stitch that boy. She is single, he is 37:16.852 --> 37:20.204 age appropriate. Yeah, yeah, I mean, okay, all right, maybe. But yeah, normally no, 37:20.220 --> 37:24.246 no MD is doing that staple job. Um, so we're back 37:24.746 --> 37:28.304 at Brad Wesley's place and, and up to his driveway pulls 37:28.416 --> 37:31.865 the most insane fucking monster truck. And this is not a 37:31.929 --> 37:35.329 lifted Ford F-350, this is a Bigfoot, 37:35.473 --> 37:39.723 like when you go to see Monster Jam monster truck. It It 37:39.788 --> 37:42.897 makes Bigfoot look like a lifted 350. Like, it really is. 37:43.875 --> 37:46.520 When these guys hop out of it— The tires are 6 feet tall. Like, 37:46.536 --> 37:49.951 they're in diameter, probably. Right. And when the guys hop out of it, I'm looking 37:49.983 --> 37:53.734 at it going, they're not taking steps down onto a ladder and then hopping 37:54.234 --> 37:57.870 down. They're jumping down from the actual floorboard. So how the hell are they getting 37:57.982 --> 38:01.509 up? Yeah. Because, I mean, do they have a rope ladder? Like, how does this 38:01.525 --> 38:04.907 work? It's crazy. They parkour up the tire and the side of the truck. 38:05.292 --> 38:08.640 And stuff. Spider-Man action. Um, it's so funny, like, 38:08.816 --> 38:11.860 one of the details of the movie that I think pushes it, yes, like, 38:12.101 --> 38:15.593 towards greatness for me is just like, there was no 38:15.689 --> 38:18.829 reason to do that, and someone was just like, but what if we got a 38:19.329 --> 38:22.130 monster truck? Because it comes into play, it comes into play big time later. 38:22.194 --> 38:25.302 But yes, it wasn't like, it's not necessarily the 38:25.802 --> 38:29.611 plot. There's other things you could do. We saw, you know, um, so Brad 38:29.643 --> 38:33.136 Wesley is making his henchmen apologize basically because, 38:33.392 --> 38:36.684 well, you're supposed to get my nephew his job back. Like, he he's the weakling. 38:37.103 --> 38:40.807 Very casino-like, where there's the guy's— the gaming commissioner's 38:40.839 --> 38:43.964 nephew that works at the casino and he's a fuck-up, or sort of Fredo. 38:44.045 --> 38:47.316 Like, this is the Fredo of the family. Totally. And Brad Wesley, 38:47.509 --> 38:51.586 you know, is kind of, who's gonna apologize to me? And one guy says sorry, 38:51.618 --> 38:53.938 and he's like, okay, well, I believe you. And then the other guy— so he's 38:54.438 --> 38:56.676 like smacking a guy around and punching him in the face. This is when he's 38:57.176 --> 39:00.202 like, you know, I don't like you, O'Connor, you're a bleeder. Yeah, you bleed too 39:00.234 --> 39:03.879 easy. And he's like punching him. And again, this is really not 39:04.323 --> 39:07.451 believable with him as a tough guy. Although it's just like, 39:07.596 --> 39:10.868 well, because I have control of my other bodyguards is why I can 39:10.900 --> 39:14.398 beat anyone up, because no one's allowed to strike back. So exactly, it's good for 39:14.510 --> 39:19.227 you. It's the boss thing again. Don Herrera in Commando, 39:19.403 --> 39:23.349 it's the wussy boss that's got the henchmen, that therefore he's untouchable, 39:23.398 --> 39:27.007 or yeah, you know, feels like he is. But like, really? Or Victor Maitland 39:27.507 --> 39:29.702 in Beverly Hills Cop, like all these sort of like big boss guys of the 39:29.751 --> 39:33.005 era a lot of times are sort of wimps, and they're just like, you know, 39:33.502 --> 39:37.093 as in a stark contrast with, uh, uh, Hans Gruber 39:37.606 --> 39:41.004 in Die Hard, who's actually a badass, right? Like, you know, fight and shoot stuff. 39:41.052 --> 39:44.114 Yes, exactly. He'll take it, you know, actual matters into his own hands. Yeah, 39:44.130 --> 39:47.240 these guys, they just got their henchmen to do everything for them. Uh, 39:47.737 --> 39:51.616 so Dalton, now I think he goes into Red's, 39:51.696 --> 39:55.223 uh, auto parts store to find it all kind of fucked up, 39:55.319 --> 39:59.057 right? There's stuff everywhere. And Red, you know, has a beef with Brad 39:59.089 --> 40:02.763 Wesley. Obviously, uh, he hates that Brad Wesley 40:03.263 --> 40:06.935 makes him stock monster truck tires, which take up like the entire back room of 40:07.435 --> 40:11.059 his store. Uh, he, he tells, he tells Dalton that 40:11.107 --> 40:14.573 Brad Wesley has this thing called the Jasper Improvement Society. Yeah, 40:14.717 --> 40:18.584 where they— that's how they extort the businesses. So that's like, we're taking a percent 40:18.648 --> 40:21.280 off the top, and it's a fuck-you-pay-me type situation. 40:21.937 --> 40:24.745 And masquerading as a Chamber of Commerce kind of idea. Yeah, yeah. 40:25.725 --> 40:29.065 Why is Dalton wearing a karate gi tucked into his jeans in the scene? 40:29.177 --> 40:32.420 That is an interesting choice, but that shirt is ridiculous looking. 40:32.613 --> 40:35.439 You know what I would love in this film is like a walk— first of 40:35.939 --> 40:38.426 all, a walk around the finished hayloft that he lives in, but I want to 40:38.490 --> 40:42.038 pan to his closet to see what is he choosing from. Like, what are 40:42.538 --> 40:45.282 his options every day? Because it is wild as shit, the stuff that he has. 40:45.555 --> 40:48.381 This gi shirt does come back later in the movie, but like, I don't think 40:48.881 --> 40:51.111 we see the white linen pants that we saw at the beginning again. Like, 40:51.159 --> 40:53.214 I think it's a lot of jeans. Yeah, for the most part. You know, 40:53.342 --> 40:56.870 maybe that's because he was in like Miami or LA or somewhere cosmopolitan, 40:56.886 --> 40:59.292 and now he's in Jasper, Missouri, so it's a blue jeans kind of place. 40:59.356 --> 41:03.365 Maybe that's his, uh, blue collar wardrobe. Still doesn't 41:03.865 --> 41:07.662 explain the gi. Uh, we kind of flash over to our buddy 41:07.855 --> 41:11.014 Sam Elliott. Oh, I love Wade Garrett. Wade Garrett, so cool. 41:11.286 --> 41:14.959 Goddamn, it is really great to see him. And it's Sam Elliott, 41:15.055 --> 41:18.230 like, it shows what a good actor he is because he is not relying on 41:18.262 --> 41:21.646 his mustache. Yeah, great beard on Sam Elliott, even though 41:22.146 --> 41:23.843 it's that scruffy kind of thing. It just works for him. The long hair, 41:24.035 --> 41:28.418 like Like, Sam Elliott has never looked cooler in this movie, and yet whenever 41:28.515 --> 41:31.974 else he's looked awesome, it's very different. Like in Tombstone or Big 41:32.474 --> 41:35.505 Lebowski, where he also looks cool, it's a very different kind of cool. This is 41:35.537 --> 41:39.040 like rough-and-tumble Sam Elliott. Yeah, it's a really good Sam Elliott. 41:39.153 --> 41:42.271 Yeah, yeah. And, uh, he's working at some kind 41:42.771 --> 41:46.529 of strip club that's like, um, patronized by military guys, 41:47.030 --> 41:50.436 and he's keeping the troops like off the titties and doing a good job, 41:50.452 --> 41:52.776 and it seems like everyone likes him. But is that lucrative? Like, if you're the 41:53.276 --> 41:54.360 best, is that your job? It's not a strip club, I don't think. So it's 41:56.212 --> 41:59.271 It's interesting 'cause there's a big banner up that says wet t-shirt 41:59.771 --> 42:02.347 contest. Oh, that's what it was. Right? But the wet t-shirt contest part is crossed 42:02.428 --> 42:05.836 out and then written in like pen or something. It says G-string contest. 42:06.238 --> 42:08.793 So it's like they were gonna do a wet t-shirt contest but decided, yeah, 42:08.809 --> 42:12.489 let's just skip that part and just have topless women in G-strings up here that 42:12.505 --> 42:15.464 guys can like vote on or whatever. They all had little like numbers attached to 42:15.480 --> 42:18.443 their G-strings to like, you know, that's their contestant number or whatever. 42:18.620 --> 42:21.293 But yeah, a couple of like army guys try to get up onto the stage 42:21.793 --> 42:24.961 and he's gotta calm 'em down. But apparently that's how Wade Garrett improves a place 42:25.461 --> 42:28.936 is by turning the wet t-shirt contest into the G-string contest. Upgrade from Garrett's perspective. 42:29.001 --> 42:32.412 Wade's got a lot of good ideas for us, but he 42:32.912 --> 42:35.872 knows about Dalton and Jasper. I heard you're up there in Jasper, and it's like, 42:36.017 --> 42:39.791 why? How? So yeah, this is a good side 42:39.823 --> 42:43.333 movie, is like when these people are all off work and they're having conversations 42:43.349 --> 42:46.343 and finding out about famous coolers and what they look like and stuff. Like, 42:46.488 --> 42:48.814 when does that happen? Yeah, I mean, look, pre-internet, 42:49.427 --> 42:52.816 post-carrier pigeon. So what the fuck is going on? Like, what kind of like hotline 42:53.316 --> 42:55.382 are these people dialing into to figure out what's going on? I don't know, 42:55.559 --> 43:00.136 man. Uh, so the, 43:00.312 --> 43:03.876 the blonde kind of bimbo looking girl is really like up on Dalton. 43:04.133 --> 43:07.343 Her name's Denise, Denise, I think. Do we know yet? But she's, she's Brad's 43:07.843 --> 43:10.393 girlfriend, but I don't think we know that yet. But yeah, yeah, because Brad hasn't— 43:10.893 --> 43:13.507 he's not been in the double dudes. That's right, not yet. That's right. So, 43:13.764 --> 43:17.023 uh, so Brad's henchmen show up to the bar, 43:17.151 --> 43:20.169 and I think they're there to like get her because, oh, she's been spending too 43:20.185 --> 43:22.673 much time, we don't want her near this guy, or just to rough— I think 43:23.173 --> 43:26.783 you have to rough Yeah, the assholes. And Dalton, with his amazing like 43:27.283 --> 43:30.733 super bouncer vision, immediately clocks one guy has like a blade 43:31.233 --> 43:33.526 sticking out of the toe of his boot, and he's just like, right boot, 43:33.606 --> 43:36.191 and points to a guy who's been training for 3 and a half days. 43:36.239 --> 43:40.012 And the guy's like, got it. They have this like Secret Service level 43:40.189 --> 43:43.737 of like discipline. Well, and also like that particular bouncer 43:44.237 --> 43:48.296 guy is 150 pounds overweight. I'm not really sure I'm sending that guy against 43:48.796 --> 43:51.250 the guy with the boot knife. Maybe somebody a little more agile who's a little 43:51.750 --> 43:54.189 bit of a smaller target might be a better choice. Choice for knife boot guy. 43:54.382 --> 43:57.449 Yeah, yeah, there's a lot to kick with that guy. Yep, 43:57.594 --> 44:01.368 uh, big fight. But again, another big melee, uh, they take 44:01.868 --> 44:04.612 him down. Tillman, ultra creepy satisfied look, 44:04.676 --> 44:08.226 maybe one of his creepiest of the film. Uh, but it's crazy, 44:08.290 --> 44:11.727 like, this, uh, Dalton has turned this ragtag bunch 44:12.227 --> 44:16.208 of shitty bouncers into a world-class wrecking crew. And now we have classier people 44:16.224 --> 44:18.986 coming to the bar. Even the hot doctor shows up. 44:19.066 --> 44:22.777 Elizabeth That's right. Who I just wrote hot doctor. Like I told you before, 44:22.986 --> 44:26.696 I— this character stinks. I get nothing from her. She's not, 44:27.082 --> 44:30.728 not interesting enough. She has a weird moral compass that comes in later where it's 44:31.228 --> 44:34.583 like, you know, self-defense doesn't matter to her apparently. Like, but one 44:34.631 --> 44:36.799 of the things that's happening here is I think this is maybe the first scene 44:37.299 --> 44:39.578 or maybe it's the second, but like every so often this portion of the movie, 44:39.771 --> 44:42.983 every time we go to the Double Deuce, it looks a little nicer. There's been 44:43.483 --> 44:46.148 some upgrade. There's been like new neon signs or they took the chicken wire off 44:46.260 --> 44:49.359 of the stage and like upgraded this. So when Tillman said, oh, I came into 44:49.407 --> 44:51.751 some money and I want to like spruce the place up, he's actually doing that. 44:51.816 --> 44:54.930 And the place is looking like kind of nicer and nicer and less like a 44:55.430 --> 44:57.611 honky-tonk. There's no more sawdust on the floor. Yep. You know, stuff like that. 44:57.660 --> 45:00.983 So this is when we really start seeing that there's some improvements to the location 45:01.483 --> 45:05.527 itself. Yeah. And of course Dalton's car was destroyed 45:06.027 --> 45:09.588 once again. Yes. And this time has like a full stop sign just jammed through 45:09.621 --> 45:13.650 the window sticking out of the— Exactly. The passenger side window. 45:14.373 --> 45:17.706 Wesley, Brad Wesley wants to see Dalton. Yes. And, 45:17.803 --> 45:21.018 uh, and he gets, you know, his men come to pick up Dalton, 45:21.212 --> 45:24.928 goes to Wesley's house. Wesley's house is fucking crazy. We have 45:25.428 --> 45:28.711 seen some crazy dwellings. Yes. Uh, in recent films, 45:29.623 --> 45:32.851 it's really, it's really nice. Wesley has this room that's 45:33.351 --> 45:36.377 this huge, like, open room, and there are two pool tables, 45:36.634 --> 45:39.951 right? And just animal heads everywhere. Heads and 45:40.451 --> 45:43.208 bodies of animals. Like, the entire house is full of, like, trophies from his— he 45:43.355 --> 45:46.501 calls it his trophy room, but it's actually an entire floor of the home. 45:46.615 --> 45:49.867 Like, it's enormous. This. Also, when Dalton first shows up here, we see Denise, 45:50.300 --> 45:53.697 Brad's girlfriend who came to the bar with her. She's doing like a Jazzercise sort 45:54.197 --> 45:57.222 of workout or whatever, but she's also been completely hammered up. 45:57.286 --> 46:00.459 Like, she got a black eye, her neck is all bruised up like she's been 46:00.475 --> 46:03.760 choked. Like, she is all fucked up. And so Dalton goes to talk 46:04.096 --> 46:07.365 to Wesley, and before he can, Brad's got 46:07.865 --> 46:10.666 to yell at Denise like, turn that shit off! Like, the music. Yeah, it's got 46:11.166 --> 46:14.207 no soul. I can't listen to that. Whatever. This is when Brad makes the most 46:14.670 --> 46:18.079 ridiculous I'm a big man speech of any movie ever. 46:18.465 --> 46:20.716 And you may have all of it, but the important part— I don't have all 46:21.216 --> 46:24.512 of it, but the important part is that JCPenney is coming here because of me. 46:24.897 --> 46:27.614 Ask anyone and they'll tell you. Whoa, man. 46:28.932 --> 46:31.262 JC fucking— not, not Mervyn's. 46:31.889 --> 46:35.045 JCPenney, dude. Oh, not Emporium Capwell. Yeah, 46:35.207 --> 46:38.755 not, not, not, no, not Montgomery Ward. JCPenney. Oh, 46:39.255 --> 46:42.578 so all the people in town won't have to drive so far to buy M&M 46:42.690 --> 46:46.120 sweatshirts. What the fuck? Yeah, that's the 46:46.152 --> 46:49.784 funniest thing because it's like you have a heli— you had me at 46:50.284 --> 46:51.957 helicopter. You had me at like, 46:53.559 --> 46:57.293 you don't have to fucking talk about the— he talks about the 7-Eleven. There wouldn't 46:57.793 --> 47:00.915 be a Wetzel's Pretzels if it weren't for me. There wouldn't be an Orange Julius 47:01.028 --> 47:03.631 if it weren't for me. Go ask Auntie Anne, it's all because of me. 47:03.856 --> 47:06.226 So he's just great. 47:07.241 --> 47:10.738 Uh, yeah, so Wesley is just this big mogul and, you know, he makes everything 47:10.786 --> 47:14.369 happen in town. Yes, exactly. And, uh, and one thing that he discloses 47:14.401 --> 47:17.803 to Dalton, because he, he doesn't expect to woo him with his charm or with 47:17.835 --> 47:21.254 money or whatever, he has information against Dalton. He knows that Dalton 47:21.703 --> 47:24.897 killed a man in Memphis, so he kind of discloses that to Dalton at that 47:25.397 --> 47:27.546 point. And he says to Dalton, like, you know, like, this case was dismissed or 47:28.046 --> 47:30.691 whatever off of self-defense, he says, but you and I both know that's not true. 47:30.772 --> 47:33.821 Which is kind of like, not really. It sounds like he got a gun pulled 47:33.885 --> 47:36.919 on him and he, and he defended himself, because later he and Wade talk about 47:37.419 --> 47:39.702 it and it's like like, yeah, it was defense, it was self-defense. He had a 47:40.202 --> 47:41.646 gun pulled on him, he defended himself. Like, what is he supposed to do? 47:41.807 --> 47:45.149 Yeah, let himself get shot? That's like— I don't think that's required by the 47:45.649 --> 47:48.102 law. No. Um, but yeah, so, but there's a little— there's definitely the thing. 47:48.150 --> 47:51.357 And then Dalton basically tells Wesley to fuck himself. Yeah, so Wesley says 47:51.373 --> 47:53.657 like, how much to work for you? And Dalton's like, no amount of money. 47:54.566 --> 47:58.034 So, um, yeah, so we've got— we've got the double deuce getting nicer. 47:58.244 --> 48:02.003 Um, at this point we see somebody who made me very excited. 48:02.133 --> 48:05.207 Okay, but just, you know, not in it much. We see 48:05.287 --> 48:08.640 Keith David. Oh, that's right, working as a bartender. 48:08.737 --> 48:12.042 Yeah. And all he says is, I think we're out of whiskey. 48:12.266 --> 48:15.363 Like, he has no lines in this movie. So Keith David, 48:15.379 --> 48:18.684 very brief. And you know what's funny is I remember seeing Keith David in the 48:19.184 --> 48:22.277 credits. Yeah. When the movie started, and then realized I never once noticed where he 48:22.518 --> 48:26.176 was. Okay, so very brief here. He's one of the bartenders at the Double Deuce. 48:26.224 --> 48:29.931 Nice. Now I looked into this because I was like astonished. 48:29.995 --> 48:32.950 Like, this isn't Keith David too early, too late. 48:33.207 --> 48:37.061 Keith David prime— I'm sorry— yeah, has been going on since The Thing and 48:37.561 --> 48:41.333 continues to this day. Absolutely. And I was like, well, what happened 48:41.833 --> 48:44.384 in this? Because he is early in the credits at the beginning of the film. 48:44.850 --> 48:47.500 And I looked it up and I found some guy who had written out, 48:47.580 --> 48:50.647 you know, like a theory, or like what he'd heard buzz of, or whatever that 48:50.696 --> 48:53.924 makes sense to me, is that originally Keith David's character was supposed 48:54.424 --> 48:56.188 to be bigger, and a lot of it ended up getting cut out. Out. 48:56.572 --> 48:59.954 It might have been something where the owner, where Tillman, was like, I'm gonna hire 49:00.454 --> 49:03.623 the best cooler, and then I'm gonna hire the best bartender, and Keith David's like 49:04.123 --> 49:08.158 the best bartender guy. I would have loved Keith David 49:08.335 --> 49:12.405 and Swayze hanging out in this movie more than Swayze having like a love 49:12.597 --> 49:15.770 interest with the doctor. I think it would have been way more interesting for 49:16.043 --> 49:19.616 Sam Elliott, Keith David, and Swayze running the fucking 49:19.729 --> 49:23.398 bar, and then Tillman just 49:23.898 --> 49:26.551 jacked up in his little office. It would be so turgid at that point. 49:26.599 --> 49:29.526 He would be hard as a rock. But yeah, like, definitely, 49:30.105 --> 49:33.183 yeah, I'm with you, man. That— to tease you with Keith David, it's like this 49:33.683 --> 49:36.756 just had like a LaCroix essence of Keith David, 49:36.820 --> 49:40.118 and I want a full can of Kern's Keith David nectar, you know? 49:40.296 --> 49:43.747 It's like somebody whispered, "How'd you get the frank about the beans?" from off screen, 49:43.763 --> 49:46.178 and that's how we know Keith David was around. Yeah. 49:47.128 --> 49:50.428 And then I, I wrote, uh, uh, oh no, so yeah, so then we get 49:50.524 --> 49:52.874 the doc shows back up and basically we're He wants to take Dalton out. 49:53.992 --> 49:57.378 They drive off to his place and whatever, and it's time to do the bone 49:57.475 --> 50:01.241 zone between the two of them. But they, he's stalking 50:01.339 --> 50:04.750 her around his apartment. Like, it's kind of crazy. Like, you know, 50:04.767 --> 50:08.181 it's not like she doesn't, I mean, she seems interested, but she also doesn't seem 50:08.294 --> 50:11.443 fully on board. Like, I'm not saying he took advantage of her, but I am 50:11.943 --> 50:14.913 saying she appeared to have needed to be convinced to, 50:15.620 --> 50:18.610 you know, let him enter her, which is gross. But like, this is exactly the 50:19.110 --> 50:21.426 kind of fucking scene it is. It's not sexy. It's not, there's no love. 50:21.475 --> 50:24.623 There's no, There's barely any lust. 50:24.687 --> 50:27.682 It's just like, well, I'm a man, you're a woman, we're standing in the same 50:27.730 --> 50:31.723 room, let's fuck. And it's like, okay, I guess 1989, 50:31.771 --> 50:35.801 I guess. Like, what the fuck? And it was kind of long. Like, it wasn't 50:35.865 --> 50:39.640 like I wrote here, like the long humping scene could have been more Keith 50:39.673 --> 50:42.996 David. Like, it really just, it should have been Keith David. Not in that scene, 50:43.060 --> 50:46.033 but just instead of. Actually, if that scene, you know what, if there was a 50:46.533 --> 50:49.857 scene of just Keith David watching that happen, I would watch just Keith David. 50:50.034 --> 50:53.066 Well, speaking of watching it happen, after they bang up against a cobblestone wall, 50:53.083 --> 50:56.308 by the way, which must have felt great on the doctor's back. Uh, 50:56.324 --> 50:59.971 Brad Wesley is just across the fucking riverway, like, watching them bang 51:00.083 --> 51:03.071 out on the little, like, like, awning or whatever they do out. They do us 51:03.571 --> 51:06.509 bang a second time out there. He's just watching, and like, it doesn't— it doesn't 51:07.009 --> 51:10.541 look like innocent. If I was Dalton, I would do all my shit on 51:11.041 --> 51:14.171 the other side of the house. Yeah, like, out of Wesley's viewpoint. 51:14.299 --> 51:16.821 It's just, you don't need to be— you don't need to be attracting that kind 51:17.321 --> 51:21.383 of attention. Um, and, and the, um— so Dalton 51:21.883 --> 51:25.250 is talking to the guitar, so So the house band at 51:25.750 --> 51:29.753 the Double Deuce has been this great blues rock band with a blind slide 51:29.785 --> 51:33.788 guitar player who's named Jeff Healey. He's a well-known musician 51:33.837 --> 51:37.055 in that circle. He's good in this. I like him in this movie. And he's 51:37.555 --> 51:40.176 kind of someone who's known Dalton for a while too. So he might have come 51:40.273 --> 51:43.441 on as part of this best cooler, let's get a new band, unless they were 51:43.941 --> 51:46.151 already the house band. I think he was already there. The character's name is Cody. 51:46.264 --> 51:49.684 And when Dalton first arrives, he says hi to the bandmates. 51:49.732 --> 51:51.361 And they kind of are like— but he's like, you know, shh. And he kind 51:51.861 --> 51:54.901 of sneaks up on Cody and is like, oh, man. And Cody's telling him, 51:55.240 --> 51:58.160 "This place is worse than the place we were at together in," like, I don't 51:58.660 --> 52:00.902 know if he says Memphis or another city or whatever, or no, outside of when 52:01.402 --> 52:03.308 we were at that place, we were out in Ohio. "This place is even worse 52:03.808 --> 52:06.216 than that." Dayton, I think he says. And so it's clear that like they've just 52:06.716 --> 52:10.025 crossed paths before. Like apparently Cody's band is a traveling bar 52:10.137 --> 52:13.261 band that does like, you know, residencies in little tiny 52:13.293 --> 52:17.214 honky-tonks around the Midwest. And Dalton has done his fair share of cooling, 52:17.634 --> 52:20.490 like in the same area. Maybe he's the one who told about Dalton being a 52:20.990 --> 52:22.891 cooler. That's a good point, actually. It could have come from him. That does work. 52:22.958 --> 52:26.544 Doesn't explain why Wade knows everything too. No, but it does 52:26.576 --> 52:29.704 at least make sense why Tillman might know. Yeah, that's true. Uh, and so 52:30.204 --> 52:32.512 he, he knows a lot of stuff, and he's buds with Dalton. And what he 52:33.012 --> 52:35.608 says is that Brad Wesley used to be in love with Elizabeth. That's right. 52:35.961 --> 52:39.026 So he's kind of like, watch out, dropping that. Yeah. 52:39.796 --> 52:43.550 Um, this is when Wade arrives, I believe. Yes, yes, Wade Garrett arrives. 52:44.047 --> 52:47.529 Right before Wade arrives though, uh, there's a delivery of booze to the back, 52:47.818 --> 52:50.288 uh, to the back of the Double Deuce. And so Dalton goes back there to 52:50.304 --> 52:53.955 help unload it, and a bunch of Brad Wesley's men show up to like 52:54.099 --> 52:58.020 interrupt that, disrupt it. You know, they start beating up on both Dalton 52:58.116 --> 53:01.635 and the one other staff member who's out there trying to unload some and destroying, 53:01.828 --> 53:05.042 you know, cases full of liquor, like throwing them off the thing just to try 53:05.542 --> 53:08.289 to like fuck it all up. And that's when Wade comes back, and Dalton's being 53:08.401 --> 53:12.098 held up by one of the guys like against a post or 53:12.114 --> 53:15.056 whatever and just being wailed on. And that's when Garrett comes out and like, 53:15.104 --> 53:18.160 you know, starts his own sort of— gets involved and starts fighting. 53:18.596 --> 53:20.604 And the two of them are doing their karate and doing all their stuff, 53:20.620 --> 53:24.062 and it's Fantastic. It's just a lot of fun. There's so much good karate in 53:24.562 --> 53:28.212 this. And, uh, Wade's— his like casual approach when he 53:28.712 --> 53:31.449 comes out and he sees Dalton just getting pinned down and beaten up, and he's 53:31.949 --> 53:36.048 like, you okay there, mijo? Like, he just— he calls him mijo 53:36.128 --> 53:39.397 all the time. He just, uh, yeah. So it's great to see the boys 53:39.429 --> 53:42.923 team up. I mean, it really like pro wrestling 53:42.955 --> 53:46.384 energy of seeing like the team of underdogs— we're getting beat up. Oh no, 53:46.400 --> 53:50.108 now we're not getting beat Yeah, uh, very enjoyable. So this 53:50.608 --> 53:54.172 is absolutely like, you know, like Hulk Hogan fighting against Randy 53:54.672 --> 53:56.678 Macho Man Savage, and then the Ultimate Warrior comes out and you're like, oh no, 53:56.823 --> 54:00.144 Hogan's in trouble now. Like, exactly. Um, 54:00.241 --> 54:03.032 so Dalton and Wade, they got some catching up to do, and there's a little 54:03.129 --> 54:06.098 bros night out. But Dalton says first, hey, I wanna— I want you to meet 54:06.598 --> 54:08.820 someone. Yeah. And they pick up Elizabeth from the hospital and they go out and 54:08.836 --> 54:12.313 they're out drinking all night. And, uh, and this 54:12.813 --> 54:14.871 is when we see more time— this is when we see more of Sam Elliott 54:15.371 --> 54:18.627 than I ever needed to to. He shows her a scar he's particularly proud of 54:18.980 --> 54:22.428 and basically flashes full-on pubes at us. And she says, oh, 54:22.444 --> 54:25.139 is that from a woman? And he goes, like, it was with her high heel 54:25.639 --> 54:27.625 or something like that. And it's like, oh my God. Then they go to a 54:28.125 --> 54:31.330 diner. His pube mustache. I gotta show one of them. He— they go to a 54:31.830 --> 54:34.490 diner and they're hanging out and he and Elizabeth are dancing to the jukebox. 54:34.538 --> 54:37.425 But I'm like, who dances in a diner? This is weird, man. It's such a 54:37.925 --> 54:41.628 movie thing, slow dancing to the jukebox. And right over their shoulders the entire time— 54:41.676 --> 54:45.894 and I talked about this in the Fast Times at Ridgemont High episode 54:46.394 --> 54:50.132 I love— we love Jeff Spicoli's Colt.45 t-shirt. The Colt.45 neon sign 54:50.164 --> 54:53.801 that's behind them during the slow dance is absolutely chef's kiss. I love it. 54:53.897 --> 54:57.874 It's also in The Double Deuce. That exact same Colt.45 54:57.890 --> 55:00.707 neon sign is in The Double Deuce after it's been upgraded a few times. 55:00.820 --> 55:02.977 So I don't know if it's like at this point in the movie, I think 55:03.057 --> 55:04.913 we'd seen it once, but you see it a little more later. It's like the 55:05.413 --> 55:08.786 same style. Okay, props department, big deal, big deal on 55:09.286 --> 55:12.276 the Colt.45. Um, but yeah, and so now— and then so they, they hang out 55:12.776 --> 55:13.317 for a while and Elizabeth's got to go to work in a few hours, 55:13.382 --> 55:16.597 which is like, yeah, you're a fucking doctor stapling people's wounds shut, 55:16.629 --> 55:20.333 you probably should get some sleep. Um, but they go— the next scene, we're back 55:20.833 --> 55:23.972 at the Deuce. Um, but Red's place is like on fire. People start 55:24.472 --> 55:26.375 running in like, oh, there's a fire, there's a fire! And a full-on— like, 55:26.876 --> 55:30.611 first of all, Dalton sprints towards the fire. The fire department's there, the firefighters 55:31.111 --> 55:34.136 are there, but he is sprinting towards the building that's on fire until it actually— 55:34.636 --> 55:37.001 something inside, because of course there's a bunch of probably fuel and different stuff that's 55:37.050 --> 55:40.598 very, very flammable— explodes. Uh, and luckily we see Red 55:40.614 --> 55:43.991 was not there. Red drives up in his truck and is okay. Okay, but yeah, 55:44.088 --> 55:47.151 it's a little bit like, what were you gonna do? Like, why, you know, 55:47.295 --> 55:50.133 running into a burning building is not a good idea even if you think you're 55:50.633 --> 55:53.902 a hero. He— yeah, he went in without thinking of anything. It was nice. 55:53.950 --> 55:57.109 He was very nimble, like coming through the steps. He was almost like parkouring his 55:57.157 --> 56:00.637 way in there. I, I like some, uh, Dalton heroism 56:00.686 --> 56:04.005 there. Yeah. Um, so let's see, 56:04.133 --> 56:07.373 we are, uh, we get a striptease from Denise next. Okay, right. 56:07.501 --> 56:11.109 Yeah, so, so Brad Wesley and Denise niece are at the Double 56:11.205 --> 56:14.635 Deuce, and they're kind of just like, hey, you know, he's being the big 56:15.135 --> 56:17.744 man there even though it's not his place. He's acting like it's his place. 56:17.793 --> 56:21.415 And she gets up on stage with the band. Very good striptease scene. I enjoy 56:21.463 --> 56:24.733 this scene. She looks fantastic. And of course Dalton's like, 56:24.829 --> 56:27.137 oh no, you can't do this, you can't do this, we don't have that kind 56:27.637 --> 56:31.257 of license. Yeah, uh, so this is the time for the showdown 56:31.417 --> 56:34.639 between Dalton and the other bartenders and Jimmy. Yeah, uh, 56:34.767 --> 56:38.134 who's our previous mulleted, uh, shithead and he comes 56:38.634 --> 56:42.435 out, he's got a shark tooth necklace and a Canadian tuxedo on, 56:43.029 --> 56:46.881 and he grabs a pool cue and he starts doing all this Donatello shit to 56:47.381 --> 56:49.545 show off. I love a scene where the guy has to like show off all 56:50.045 --> 56:53.204 his little weapon tricks first before engaging. Napoleon Dynamite 56:53.704 --> 56:57.441 level bo staff skills, like that's like really impressive, really just fantastic. 56:58.340 --> 57:01.871 But yeah, so but then they sort of fight, he's knocking out the guy's stat— 57:02.371 --> 57:04.230 you know, you know, you can jam them in the gut, you can smack him 57:04.730 --> 57:06.802 in the face. That's the great thing about like a long stick you're fighting with, 57:07.268 --> 57:10.883 um, Brad's men basically just fuck up the entire place. Like, 57:10.899 --> 57:13.904 the whole place just gets absolutely messed up yet again. 57:14.579 --> 57:17.819 Um, and then Jimmy and Wade start really fighting. I mean, that's the 57:18.319 --> 57:20.244 way Wade sort of steps in, and the two of them— it's a good fight 57:20.744 --> 57:23.930 between Jimmy and Wade. Yeah, no, I like seeing Sam Elliott like really getting 57:23.963 --> 57:27.216 his hands dirty. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And the thing about fighting someone with 57:27.280 --> 57:29.598 a long stick is you got to be careful because if you break it in 57:29.695 --> 57:33.227 half, it can become two deadlier weapons. That's right. Much, much more 57:33.500 --> 57:36.727 agile. Um, so this— we don't really get the, 57:37.273 --> 57:40.853 the conclusion of this fight because Brad Wesley shoots his gun in the air. 57:41.142 --> 57:44.642 That's enough. Yeah, but not, not until after Jimmy tells Dalton, 57:44.979 --> 57:49.105 "Your ass is mine, boy," which comes back later. A lot of homoeroticism. 57:49.233 --> 57:52.685 Jimmy is— yeah, Jimmy, Jimmy's got— he might be watching the tai chi with 57:52.781 --> 57:56.554 binoculars. Oh, hell yeah, he's peeping. Um, but yeah, then we, uh, 57:56.698 --> 57:59.090 I think the next thing we get, we go to Red's house and we actually— 57:59.363 --> 58:02.596 we have Dalton visiting Red at his home because it's, of course, Dalton Red's place 58:03.096 --> 58:05.204 is blown up and, you know, he's like, are you gonna rebuild? Or he's like, 58:05.285 --> 58:08.457 nah, man, fuck this thing, I'm not gonna even bother, you know, rebuilding or whatever, 58:08.473 --> 58:11.226 this is crazy. But the kind of key of this scene is that Dalton notices 58:11.726 --> 58:15.372 a picture of Dr. Clay, Elizabeth, on Red's wall or on the mantle, 58:15.388 --> 58:18.810 something like that. So he now sees there's a connection, uh, between Elizabeth and Red 58:18.906 --> 58:22.590 that he'll later, uh, check into. Yeah, um, nothing really 58:22.622 --> 58:26.040 else important in that scene, but, but there's some of the other townsfolks who are 58:26.072 --> 58:29.560 there kind of helping Red. So we see like the car dealer ownership dealership. 58:29.609 --> 58:33.054 And, you know, some of those, uh, people in Emmett and these people are just 58:33.554 --> 58:35.598 kind of like coming around. Well, and it's sort of starting to talk about, 58:35.614 --> 58:38.592 yeah, like, we should be fighting back against Wesley. Yeah, this is getting out of 58:39.092 --> 58:42.244 hand, you know, and everything. And Red's very resigned, like, fuck this, man. Like, 58:42.260 --> 58:45.655 I don't have anything left. Yeah, exactly. I'm not fighting back. And then we cut, 58:45.720 --> 58:47.692 because we just met the Ford dealer guy— I don't know his last name, 58:47.806 --> 58:50.004 they say it— but we cut to his dealership the next day, and there's a 58:50.504 --> 58:52.944 shit ton of people at this car dealership. One thing I'm not really sure why 58:53.558 --> 58:56.682 there are so many people at a car dealership outside of like a grand opening, 58:56.714 --> 58:59.599 but that's not what it is. But Wesley and his men are there with the 59:00.099 --> 59:03.413 monster truck and full-on just drive right through the showroom, 59:03.445 --> 59:07.178 destroying the glass walls, crushing cars, like all station 59:07.194 --> 59:10.544 wagons. God, yeah, he flattens a ton of station wagons, 59:10.640 --> 59:14.181 dude. It was very satisfying. I mean, I, uh, I love a monster 59:14.681 --> 59:17.402 truck crushing stuff. It's very nice. Monster Jam. 59:19.293 --> 59:22.532 Um, so, uh, Uh, yeah, so that's, 59:22.613 --> 59:26.040 that's happening. Wade is kind of like, he's done. 59:26.395 --> 59:29.078 Like, he's ready to move on and leave town. Yeah, Wade's like, this was a 59:29.578 --> 59:31.665 nice season, I'm out of here. Exactly. But like, I just real quick, I was 59:32.165 --> 59:34.408 going to about the car dealership thing. Like, there's a bunch of people who are 59:34.908 --> 59:38.345 like, oh no, like the townspeople. But then all of Brad West's guys are cheering 59:38.442 --> 59:42.026 like they just won a soccer match. Like, it is really wild. And also 59:42.414 --> 59:46.452 the number of just shitty, crappy looking gas station aviator 59:46.952 --> 59:51.038 glasses in this movie. Like, in this scene in particular everybody from Swayze to Jimmy 59:51.215 --> 59:55.394 to the O'Connor, the big guy, like they're all wearing just awful sunglasses 59:55.427 --> 59:58.299 that look terrible and look cheap as hell. I always thought that was kind of 59:58.380 --> 01:00:01.936 strange. Um, but yeah, yeah. Um, 01:00:02.291 --> 01:00:05.233 so Wade, Wade is leaving town. Yeah, he's done with this. 01:00:05.669 --> 01:00:08.726 He's coming to Dalton's place. Yeah, yeah, he's like, there's too much for us, 01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:12.160 me. Oh, and Dalton's pissed, and Dalton's doing like— he has all this kind 01:00:12.660 --> 01:00:16.455 of like homemade boxing gym equipment that he's strung up. Rocky IV in Siberia, 01:00:16.503 --> 01:00:19.566 baby. He is Rocky IV in nice weather here. 01:00:21.451 --> 01:00:25.196 And so Dalton's pissed off, and then we see that Emmett's house— 01:00:25.326 --> 01:00:28.699 yeah, explodes. Yep. But yeah, because they— well, the doctor— I think Wade left, 01:00:28.715 --> 01:00:31.494 but the doc arrived, I think is exactly what happened. Yeah, because then— yeah, 01:00:31.624 --> 01:00:35.229 that's it. Literally blows up, and they go in there, and, and, 01:00:35.342 --> 01:00:38.155 well, it's caught— catches— they hear an explosion sort of thing. The house is not 01:00:38.171 --> 01:00:41.267 blown up yet, it's just on fire. He's able to rush in and get Emmett. 01:00:41.332 --> 01:00:44.116 This is where Dalton runs in again, shirtless, into a fire. Emmett's wearing the, 01:00:44.132 --> 01:00:47.169 like, you know, red Santa Claus Claus pajamas 01:00:47.669 --> 01:00:50.881 or whatever, the like long johns, uh, like, like the adult onesies. Uh, 01:00:51.170 --> 01:00:53.918 but yeah, like, he is able to drag him out, and Emmett's okay, thank God. 01:00:53.966 --> 01:00:57.054 Like, I always feel like they could have killed Emmett here. Yeah, 01:00:57.183 --> 01:00:59.503 right, really, they could have, and they don't. And I'm like, I think that's actually 01:00:59.536 --> 01:01:02.840 better. I'm glad they didn't kill Emmett, but like, that could have worked. But this 01:01:03.340 --> 01:01:05.466 is just, you know— and then this is the thing I thought, we see Jimmy— 01:01:06.046 --> 01:01:09.331 well, so first of all, if they were trying to get to 01:01:09.364 --> 01:01:12.102 Dalton, like, I can't tell if this is still— if this is like the car 01:01:12.602 --> 01:01:15.341 dealership thing where they want to fuck with Emmett in particular because he wants to 01:01:15.841 --> 01:01:19.422 stand up against Wesley, or if they're going for Dalton, 01:01:19.777 --> 01:01:23.149 trying to get him by hurting Emmett. Yeah, the people he cares about. 01:01:23.343 --> 01:01:25.956 Because if that were the case, why don't they just blow up Dalton's barn? 01:01:27.602 --> 01:01:30.604 He was able to blow up the house like 200 feet away. Why don't you 01:01:30.652 --> 01:01:33.750 just blow up the barn and take Dalton out? Your problems would be over if 01:01:34.250 --> 01:01:37.432 you're Brad Wesley. But regardless, we see Jimmy on a four-wheeler sort of like driving 01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:40.774 away from the back of Emmett's house where he clearly placed whatever bomb 01:01:41.274 --> 01:01:44.140 went off. Oh, Jimmy's not on a four-wheeler. What is he on? Jimmy is on 01:01:44.640 --> 01:01:47.859 a dirt bike. Oh, it's a dirt bike. Vehicle of crime. I got, 01:01:47.875 --> 01:01:51.581 I got the three-wheeler. Brad Wesley with the three-wheeler, that thing is sick. And didn't 01:01:52.081 --> 01:01:54.677 we talk in an earlier episode about rich people just love to drive around on 01:01:55.177 --> 01:01:58.880 little vehicles? Brad Wesley, golf carts, to do it, dude. Four-wheelers, three-wheelers, absolutely. 01:01:59.185 --> 01:02:02.313 But this is— so then Dalton sees like the way Jimmy's coming, he has to 01:02:02.813 --> 01:02:05.730 drive sort of past where they are. Yeah. And so Dalton's able to do this 01:02:06.003 --> 01:02:10.062 flying dive and just tackle Jimmy off the dirt bike. Pro Bowl 01:02:10.431 --> 01:02:14.281 special teamer level angle that he took there. That was unbelievable. 01:02:14.409 --> 01:02:16.575 Yeah, that— yeah, he was intercepting that route like nobody did. 01:02:17.009 --> 01:02:18.148 So good. 01:02:20.525 --> 01:02:24.041 We get a dirt bike tackle and then they both pop up and have a 01:02:24.541 --> 01:02:27.894 very spin kick forward fight. There's so much— so many spin kicks, 01:02:27.910 --> 01:02:30.784 which they are. I mean, look, I've played Street Fighter 2. 01:02:30.961 --> 01:02:34.236 That's the heavy button. Yeah, the spin kick is the heavy button. So that's like 01:02:34.736 --> 01:02:38.604 the harder kick. We all know that. It is, it is. Uh, we get Jimmy, 01:02:38.973 --> 01:02:42.666 uh, you know, at certain points of the fight, the, the advantage is shifting back 01:02:43.166 --> 01:02:45.540 and forth. And Jimmy, one of the things he says to Dalton is is, 01:02:45.556 --> 01:02:49.586 uh, I used to fuck guys like you in prison. Which— brag? 01:02:49.731 --> 01:02:53.648 I mean, look, is that a boast? I think it must be. Clearly Jimmy 01:02:53.664 --> 01:02:57.036 feels it is. Well, everyone in town loves him, so maybe he's 01:02:57.536 --> 01:02:59.943 like, hey, everyone in town said that you would be the number one guy to 01:03:00.443 --> 01:03:03.074 fuck, and I in fact used to fuck guys like you, so that makes me 01:03:03.138 --> 01:03:06.526 cool. Actually, I guess it is an odd fucking thing to say. 01:03:06.991 --> 01:03:10.347 And, and combined with the your ass is mine boy from earlier, 01:03:10.363 --> 01:03:12.795 it's like, I mean, Jimmy just wants to have sex with all of them, 01:03:12.812 --> 01:03:16.305 clearly. And look, there's nothing wrong with that outside of you shouldn't probably be 01:03:16.805 --> 01:03:18.807 beating up the person you want to have sex with. You probably should be wining 01:03:18.823 --> 01:03:21.957 and dining them, you know. But that's why Dalton's so greased up all the time, 01:03:21.973 --> 01:03:24.689 because people are always trying to hop on. He needs them to slide off of 01:03:25.189 --> 01:03:28.643 him. Um, so, you know, towards the end of this fight where it seems like, 01:03:28.707 --> 01:03:30.753 okay, I've won a fair fight or whatever, 01:03:31.687 --> 01:03:35.198 and Jimmy pulls out a gun and Dalton rips his damn 01:03:35.246 --> 01:03:39.402 throat out. Rips the throat straight. Beautiful throat 01:03:39.902 --> 01:03:41.054 rip. And then plops him into the river. Yep. And this is when the doc 01:03:41.151 --> 01:03:44.459 runs up and Dalton's still holding flesh 01:03:44.959 --> 01:03:46.379 in his hand and has to like throw it to the ground. But like the 01:03:46.879 --> 01:03:50.138 doc notices, runs over, sees, and like, I love, you can see the like hole 01:03:50.332 --> 01:03:54.303 that's been ripped into Jimmy's throat. It looks awesome. But she is not okay 01:03:54.367 --> 01:03:56.773 with this. She is so like put off by this. She's so angry about this. 01:03:56.886 --> 01:03:59.918 I even get her running to do like lifesaving care. Oh yeah, 01:03:59.934 --> 01:04:03.674 yeah, she's a doctor. Hippocratic oath. But how she also should 01:04:04.174 --> 01:04:05.447 have just been like, wah wah, oh well. 01:04:06.378 --> 01:04:10.007 Yeah, dude blew up Emmett's house, 01:04:10.730 --> 01:04:14.134 fighting with Dalton, which I guess Dalton kind of started the fight. He tackled Jimmy. 01:04:14.182 --> 01:04:16.558 So Dalton starts the fight, but the fight is going back and forth. It is 01:04:16.574 --> 01:04:19.930 an even fight. Then he pulls a gun to kill Dalton, and Dalton defends 01:04:19.946 --> 01:04:23.736 himself and kills Jimmy. Like, I don't see why from a moral standpoint 01:04:24.236 --> 01:04:26.883 this needs to be something that Dalton should be like ashamed of or whatever. 01:04:26.931 --> 01:04:29.933 Like, I get that like legally you still— it's still manslaughter. Like, there's no— but 01:04:30.433 --> 01:04:32.793 it is self-defense. So like A lot of times that's all it takes for it 01:04:33.293 --> 01:04:36.665 not to be a legal matter. And why is the doctor so— especially for the 01:04:37.165 --> 01:04:39.172 person— If he shot him, it would have been fine. So she's more worried just 01:04:39.672 --> 01:04:42.016 about the methodology of the kill. I guess. It's so weird. Maybe that's it. 01:04:42.064 --> 01:04:45.969 Maybe she's just— maybe that's it. She's been falling for him. So she's just got 01:04:46.049 --> 01:04:49.375 the ick from the fact that this is how he killed him. He didn't like 01:04:49.875 --> 01:04:52.830 snap his neck or shoot him or do— he ripped his throat. Like, and here's 01:04:53.330 --> 01:04:56.670 the thing, the throat is like not that big an area, I guess. You know, 01:04:56.686 --> 01:04:59.175 it's sort of like, like, I guess he's like, how do you even grip the 01:04:59.675 --> 01:05:03.141 esophagus? Yeah, from outside. I want to know like what exactly is he holding. 01:05:03.269 --> 01:05:06.449 If we dissect what Dalton has in his hand at the end there, like what's 01:05:06.949 --> 01:05:09.788 that look like? It's pretty wild. Great classic scene. And like I said before, 01:05:09.901 --> 01:05:13.273 inspired MacGruber, one of my favorite movies of all time. The doctor is pissed. 01:05:13.915 --> 01:05:17.576 Um, so Dalton goes to the Double Deuce now, 01:05:18.250 --> 01:05:22.024 uh, and the phone rings and he picks it up immediately. It's Brad Wesley and 01:05:22.524 --> 01:05:24.927 he says either Wade or Elizabeth dies. Yep. 01:05:25.713 --> 01:05:28.648 Now, you know, you've killed my main protector guy. 01:05:29.659 --> 01:05:33.219 This guy, I bought him so many custom pool cues that I don't 01:05:33.331 --> 01:05:36.491 need now, so I'm gonna have to deal with that shit. Yeah, exactly. 01:05:36.555 --> 01:05:40.308 So yeah, so Dalton's gonna— he's gonna try to save some folks, 01:05:40.324 --> 01:05:44.318 right? But before he can— well, so, so, so we hear— we know that 01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:48.905 Wesley like flips the coin, but we don't hear what it was. But he 01:05:49.001 --> 01:05:51.294 says, I'd love to tell you what it was, Dalton, but I gotta go, 01:05:51.375 --> 01:05:54.092 or whatever. Whatever. And so now Dalton's like, I don't know which one of them 01:05:54.592 --> 01:05:57.058 is in trouble, but one of them is. But that's when Wade shows up to 01:05:57.558 --> 01:06:00.523 the bar, right? And he's like been beat up, but he's also like clearly not 01:06:01.023 --> 01:06:03.608 dead. And so he stumbles in, but you know, like, and he's like, there were 01:06:04.108 --> 01:06:07.182 three of them, you know? So exactly. And Dalton's like, okay, this is enough. 01:06:07.311 --> 01:06:09.802 We're, we're leaving. Like, we're getting out of town, dude. No more of this. 01:06:10.044 --> 01:06:13.484 He wins. Like, Brad wins. We're gone. But just stay here. I gotta 01:06:13.984 --> 01:06:16.409 go get Elizabeth because now I know she's in danger because you were alive. 01:06:16.457 --> 01:06:20.156 So they're, they're obviously coming for her. "just stay here, okay? Don't go anywhere. 01:06:20.528 --> 01:06:23.746 You know, have one beer, but don't like get drunk." Like, whatever, right? And so 01:06:23.762 --> 01:06:26.932 then he goes to— hold on a second. 01:06:27.271 --> 01:06:30.601 Does he go to— oh yeah, he goes to the hospital. He's looking at 01:06:30.713 --> 01:06:33.766 X-rays. That's right. He goes in there and it's like, "We're going. We gotta go. 01:06:34.168 --> 01:06:36.450 This is too dangerous." She's like, "I'm not going anywhere. Like, I live here. 01:06:36.594 --> 01:06:40.027 I have a medical practice here. Like, I'm not going anywhere with you throat 01:06:40.527 --> 01:06:44.012 ripper fuck off." Yeah, you just charmed me with your throat rip. So he, 01:06:44.302 --> 01:06:47.587 "Okay, then if she's gonna stay, then fuck it. I can't do anything about that. 01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:49.941 I'm gonna go." So he goes back to the dude juice. And that's when he 01:06:50.441 --> 01:06:53.695 sees Wade, like, ostensibly looking like he's asleep on the bar. Yeah, 01:06:53.711 --> 01:06:56.872 he's been stabbed in the chest. Yes, with a note that says, 01:06:57.064 --> 01:07:00.418 "It was tails." Yes, which, like, we don't 01:07:00.918 --> 01:07:04.172 know which one was tails. He didn't even say it was a coin toss. 01:07:04.220 --> 01:07:06.049 It's— well, no, he did say it was a coin toss. I'm gonna flip a 01:07:06.549 --> 01:07:08.825 coin. You can't tell us what— or you can't not tell us what it is, 01:07:08.873 --> 01:07:11.488 heads or tails, and then be expecting us to— yeah, it was tails. Like, 01:07:11.504 --> 01:07:14.457 I give a shit. Um, but I do like a dead body with a note 01:07:14.957 --> 01:07:18.259 on it. Very— now I have a machine gun, ho ho ho. Yeah, 01:07:18.339 --> 01:07:21.995 the knife just jammed into him. And when Dalton pulled the knife 01:07:22.495 --> 01:07:26.181 out, man, he has this throat-ripping look in his eye. Well, he's also 01:07:26.681 --> 01:07:29.885 just struggling. He's like, yeah, so like his friend got killed, but he's also 01:07:29.949 --> 01:07:32.370 just like, oh, what am I gonna do to these fucking people? I didn't get 01:07:32.870 --> 01:07:36.363 that vibe. I got that he was a guy who was never 01:07:36.863 --> 01:07:40.244 grossed out by anything— is, is, um, not even 01:07:40.276 --> 01:07:44.108 grossed out, but just like it's so visceral to have to pull a blade 01:07:44.124 --> 01:07:47.997 from your friend's corpse, that that has got him near tears. 01:07:48.336 --> 01:07:51.434 That's what it looked like to me. Not anger as much as like despair. 01:07:51.660 --> 01:07:54.691 Well, he was already in like anger and vengeance mode. Well, that's true. So he 01:07:55.191 --> 01:07:57.856 was kind of like— but yeah, I mean, there's probably a lot of that shit 01:07:58.356 --> 01:08:02.049 because that's the only person that he seemed to have a real long-term relationship with. 01:08:02.177 --> 01:08:05.074 Yeah, absolutely. This was— and, and a bit of a mentorship, so it's like a 01:08:05.171 --> 01:08:08.018 brother but also a father figure maybe. Like, definitely. Yeah, like, 01:08:08.956 --> 01:08:12.741 um, so Dalton, he's— okay, I'm coming for— coming for Brad 01:08:12.757 --> 01:08:14.446 Wesley. Here we go, baby. It's the final act of Thief all over again. 01:08:14.497 --> 01:08:17.933 Yeah. Yes, dude, 100%. 01:08:18.590 --> 01:08:22.680 And, uh, we got Wesley's estate and Dalton's Mercedes is just full speed 01:08:22.937 --> 01:08:26.224 going at him, and they end up shooting it and it flips over 01:08:26.724 --> 01:08:30.362 and blows up. He's not in there. He had pushed— I know, forced the gas 01:08:30.378 --> 01:08:33.762 pedal down but then stuck the knife into it to pin it. I think the 01:08:33.826 --> 01:08:36.905 message— no, I think to pin it to the floorboard, like, because the knife through 01:08:37.033 --> 01:08:40.193 the gas, uh, pedal and into the floorboard to keep it down. 01:08:40.257 --> 01:08:44.122 To keep it down, I think is what it is. And it's the knife that 01:08:44.622 --> 01:08:46.559 that killed Wade. And one of the henchmen takes it kind of right and puts 01:08:46.607 --> 01:08:48.949 it into the sheath that clearly is for him. So we know the guy that 01:08:49.449 --> 01:08:53.649 killed him. So great demonstration of Ghost Ride the Whip by Dalton 01:08:54.149 --> 01:08:56.616 there. He really did a great Ghost Ride the Whip. 01:08:57.996 --> 01:09:01.653 So now he's in the premises here, and this place is full of 01:09:01.669 --> 01:09:05.278 like animal carcasses and heads and like glass tables. 01:09:05.342 --> 01:09:08.309 So there's great stuff for guys to go crashing through. Yeah, 01:09:08.550 --> 01:09:12.226 absolutely. One of the henchmen the big fat guy in suspenders 01:09:12.323 --> 01:09:16.017 gets crushed by this like taxidermied polar bear. Dalton is like 01:09:16.517 --> 01:09:19.904 standing behind it going like, ooga booga booga. It's like the guy thought it was 01:09:20.404 --> 01:09:23.357 a real bear. And it's very weird. And at first it looks like it kills 01:09:23.405 --> 01:09:26.071 him, which is like, that's amazing. But it really just knocks him out because he 01:09:26.571 --> 01:09:30.890 like comes to a little bit later. Dalton's body count in this movie is zero 01:09:31.275 --> 01:09:34.279 for so long, and then he kills Jimmy, 01:09:34.889 --> 01:09:37.886 and in the next 15 minutes kills kills like 7 or 8 more people. 01:09:37.966 --> 01:09:41.371 Yeah, he takes out a lot of dudes. It's like really ramps up very fast. 01:09:41.516 --> 01:09:44.727 And it is surprising that the fat guy survives because, yeah, everyone else is, 01:09:44.920 --> 01:09:48.530 is getting capped and thrown off stuff and thrown through stuff. Um, 01:09:48.707 --> 01:09:52.524 Brad Wesley is coming after Dalton. They're in the trophy room. 01:09:52.572 --> 01:09:55.890 Yes. So it is insanely cluttered with animal 01:09:55.938 --> 01:09:59.465 heads and animal bodies, and then in the middle has this like white living 01:09:59.578 --> 01:10:02.638 room set that seems like it would belong in like, uh, 01:10:02.879 --> 01:10:06.599 Dana's apartment in Ghostbusters or 01:10:07.099 --> 01:10:09.337 something. Like, it didn't fit. Like, put a jungle pattern or leather or something. 01:10:09.401 --> 01:10:13.311 That— it was very odd. But Brad Wesley comes after Dalton, and Dalton's been injured 01:10:13.487 --> 01:10:16.788 a little bit, so not a fair fight. And he has a spear, and he 01:10:17.288 --> 01:10:20.665 goes to throw a spear at Dalton. Dalton dodges it, and the spear goes on 01:10:20.729 --> 01:10:25.216 a perfect line for like 200 feet. It's clearly on a wire. 01:10:25.905 --> 01:10:29.061 Yeah, it looks so bad. Oh my God. 01:10:29.110 --> 01:10:34.253 So yeah, so they're fighting back and forth, and, uh, and, you know, basically they're 01:10:34.753 --> 01:10:37.267 able to, you know, it looks like Dalton kind of gets the upper hand, 01:10:38.101 --> 01:10:42.061 but then it's like Wesley's got another gun. So he's like pulling that until all 01:10:42.173 --> 01:10:46.052 of a sudden there's a whole bunch more people in the room. Emmett's there, 01:10:46.277 --> 01:10:50.076 Red is there. The guy who owns the car dealership is there. 01:10:50.669 --> 01:10:54.292 There might even have been another kind of townsperson, you know, whatever kind of 01:10:54.792 --> 01:10:57.130 thing, all these like business owners and they've all just got shotguns and they're all 01:10:57.162 --> 01:11:00.448 just blowing Brad Wesley away and just kind of, you know, 01:11:00.464 --> 01:11:03.734 taking their town back. Very satisfying. Very, very funny. 01:11:03.831 --> 01:11:06.708 And then when they come out, cops show up, um, that's when, 01:11:07.226 --> 01:11:09.797 uh— oh yeah, because Tillman's there as well. It's like, it's like all the crowd, 01:11:09.813 --> 01:11:12.352 right? But then the cops show up, or sheriff or whatever. It's like, what happened 01:11:12.852 --> 01:11:14.677 here? And everybody's like, I didn't see anything, I don't know. Like, there's like a 01:11:14.741 --> 01:11:17.608 dead body riddled with shotguns, and none of them are holding their guns. 01:11:17.656 --> 01:11:20.491 Red got rid of their guns. But like, still, there's just this— and then finally, 01:11:20.555 --> 01:11:23.293 the other henchman who wakes up under the polar bear, they ask him, what about 01:11:23.793 --> 01:11:27.355 you, you see anything? He goes, no. Yeah, we put an end to, 01:11:27.967 --> 01:11:31.110 uh, to Brad Wesley's reign of terror because he owned the cops 01:11:31.610 --> 01:11:34.920 and everything too. He owns the sheriff. Yep. So, uh, yeah, good ending 01:11:35.354 --> 01:11:38.323 there. Oh my God. And then, uh, and then we just get kind of a 01:11:38.339 --> 01:11:41.678 little scene of the bar being a success. Yes, exactly. And, 01:11:41.790 --> 01:11:44.567 and also, I believe, a little bit of Dalton and Elizabeth skinny dipping for some 01:11:45.067 --> 01:11:47.375 reason. Yeah, yeah. But some of that— complaining about it, but it's just an interesting 01:11:47.488 --> 01:11:51.115 little way to close the movie. But we get a nice Jeff Healey closer, 01:11:51.179 --> 01:11:54.598 and there we are. And, and, uh, the Double Deuce has been saved and is 01:11:54.710 --> 01:11:57.647 now a viable business for the owner. There you go. So, 01:11:57.984 --> 01:12:01.493 uh, yay business. And it's like, in a lot of ways, Dalton was 01:12:01.525 --> 01:12:05.248 the worst thing to ever happen to that town, but at least he somehow inspired 01:12:05.748 --> 01:12:08.468 them to get out from under the yoke of Brad Wesley. But like, really, 01:12:08.484 --> 01:12:12.600 like, the number of buildings just destroyed in that town— oh my God— after Dalton's 01:12:13.100 --> 01:12:16.393 arrival is pretty astronomical. Like, it's most of the town. Yeah, blown up. 01:12:17.870 --> 01:12:21.453 They should call him the Dozer instead. Oh man, 01:12:21.550 --> 01:12:25.133 Roadhouse, man. So that is Roadhouse. Well, uh, this was my pick. I guess 01:12:25.633 --> 01:12:29.164 I'll I'll go first here. You know, 01:12:29.340 --> 01:12:33.019 this is kind of in the category of fun to 01:12:33.051 --> 01:12:36.151 talk about, think about, quote, yeah, the experience of watching 01:12:36.328 --> 01:12:39.525 every minute of this movie. It's not— because there's parts of it that kind of 01:12:39.557 --> 01:12:42.127 drag, and there's parts of it that are like, okay, not that well done. 01:12:42.191 --> 01:12:45.950 Like we said, you know, the director, we haven't heard much from that individual, 01:12:46.962 --> 01:12:50.303 so there's a reason for that. The reviews aren't that great, but Jesus Christ, 01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:54.333 this one is so much fun. It is. I really, really had a 01:12:54.833 --> 01:12:58.374 good time with this. I like the music. I like feeling like you're 01:12:58.406 --> 01:13:01.116 kind of in the bar for most of the movie, and that feels good. 01:13:01.549 --> 01:13:05.301 The love scene, like I said, or the love story, I didn't care about that 01:13:05.801 --> 01:13:09.213 part. And we could either cut it, or like we said, more Sam Elliott, 01:13:09.309 --> 01:13:12.740 more Keith David, more of just training the bouncers, 01:13:12.853 --> 01:13:16.476 you know, whatever kind of shit. But Dalton's 01:13:16.976 --> 01:13:20.356 a very memorable character, very funny lines by Swayze, 01:13:20.693 --> 01:13:24.431 and it gave us the The Throat Rip. Yeah. And some of 01:13:24.931 --> 01:13:28.234 the best hired goons, I think, that we've seen in the '80s. 01:13:28.346 --> 01:13:31.973 So I'm gonna go ahead and give Road House 01:13:32.085 --> 01:13:35.872 a solid 3.5. I think I probably love this more than 01:13:36.372 --> 01:13:39.964 a 3.5, but as a, as a review to give out, I think that's 01:13:40.464 --> 01:13:42.964 fair. I think that's the experience of watching it. But Jesus, this is a fun 01:13:43.012 --> 01:13:45.981 one. If you have not seen it, go out and enjoy it. It's great. 01:13:46.446 --> 01:13:49.607 Yeah, I'm feeling very similar to you. It's actually funny, I've been thinking about my 01:13:50.233 --> 01:13:53.841 take on this movie, and I do love it. I know I've 01:13:54.341 --> 01:13:57.015 got like a nostalgia bump for it, but in reality, 01:13:57.304 --> 01:14:00.720 it's a pretty bad movie in a lot of ways. The plot's got part— a 01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:02.483 lot of parts of it don't make sense. And I think the worst of it, 01:14:02.499 --> 01:14:05.819 a lot of the premise doesn't make sense. And so when your premise doesn't 01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:08.721 make sense, the thing you're building off of has a lot of like plot holes 01:14:08.817 --> 01:14:12.665 in it, it makes it difficult to have anything other than a hole-filled plot 01:14:12.826 --> 01:14:16.017 all the way through. So that's not great, but it is a lot of fun. 01:14:16.193 --> 01:14:19.159 I have a ton of nostalgia for it. You know, it is a kind of 01:14:19.659 --> 01:14:22.686 a good popcorn flick in some ways. It does cross into the so bad it's 01:14:22.702 --> 01:14:26.084 good category for sure. Like, there are parts of it are so kind of 01:14:26.132 --> 01:14:29.899 like dumb and B-movie style that it works out and 01:14:29.915 --> 01:14:33.602 is— and makes it enjoyable. But even with the— like, I'm giving it the 01:14:34.102 --> 01:14:36.568 nostalgia bump, and that gets me at a 3 out of 5. Like, that's where 01:14:37.068 --> 01:14:39.966 I'm at with this movie. I think 6.5 out of 10 is more than generous 01:14:39.998 --> 01:14:43.284 for us on Road House. And yeah, 01:14:43.365 --> 01:14:46.106 that's how— that's where I'm gonna take it. And I think that was the final 01:14:46.606 --> 01:14:48.959 movie of the '80s for us for Two Dads, Two Decades. Oh man, there's only 01:14:48.991 --> 01:14:52.565 two dads one decade left. That's right, there isn't. So we're gonna go to 1990. 01:14:52.630 --> 01:14:56.331 What are we doing, Steve? All right, so when we first started this podcast, 01:14:56.364 --> 01:14:59.400 one of the earlier movies we did— not earliest, but one of the earlier movies 01:14:59.432 --> 01:15:02.742 we did was, um, The Secret of My Success. And when we did that movie, 01:15:02.871 --> 01:15:05.233 you made a comment, and you're absolutely right, that it was so funny to have 01:15:05.733 --> 01:15:08.398 a movie or a podcast about movies from the '80s and '90s and have the 01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:11.774 first Michael J. Fox film we do The Secret of My Success and not 01:15:11.823 --> 01:15:15.851 like Back to the Future or Teen Wolf or something like that, right? And Similarly, 01:15:15.883 --> 01:15:18.839 then the first Martin Scorsese picture we did was Cape Fear. Now, Cape Fear is 01:15:19.339 --> 01:15:22.969 a great movie, don't get me wrong, but it's not like it doesn't feel like 01:15:23.469 --> 01:15:26.809 essential Scorsese. Exactly. It's not like what Scorsese is known for. It's not 01:15:27.309 --> 01:15:30.263 one of his like most popular movies of the era, you know. And so I 01:15:30.763 --> 01:15:33.316 decided for 1990, you know, looking through the movies that came out that year when 01:15:33.332 --> 01:15:35.234 it was my turn, you know, I realized this was a year I was going 01:15:35.734 --> 01:15:38.340 to pick. When I saw this, this Scorsese picture come up, I'm like, well, 01:15:38.357 --> 01:15:40.194 we've got to do this movie at some point. We might as well do it. 01:15:40.260 --> 01:15:44.145 Now, really dive us into the world that Scorsese is famous for showing 01:15:44.645 --> 01:15:48.400 us, right? The mafia, you know, sort of like New York, the Italian Americans. 01:15:48.962 --> 01:15:52.382 Honestly, a lot of the Irish folks as well. That's been a theme throughout his 01:15:53.121 --> 01:15:55.610 mob movies the years. But, you know, if it's not obvious yet what I'm talking 01:15:56.110 --> 01:15:58.998 about, man, we're going to watch Goodfellas. We got Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, 01:15:59.158 --> 01:16:02.466 and Joe Pesci ready to show us the most crazy 01:16:02.530 --> 01:16:05.988 world of the '70s and '80s mobsters in New New 01:16:06.488 --> 01:16:09.551 York. I'm super excited about it. Beautiful. I cannot wait. I love this one. 01:16:09.616 --> 01:16:12.969 Uh, this is going to be a great conversation. Absolutely. So that's a wrap. 01:16:13.307 --> 01:16:16.120 If you like what you hear, please consider heading over to Apple or Spotify and 01:16:16.620 --> 01:16:19.319 leaving us a 5-star review.
