Bigelow, and star Keanu Reeves,
gave the world a tubular crime
7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,600
Thriller that got all the been
he's stoked about carving the
8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,600
surf, even if as a complete
chunder of a day and you just
9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,400
have to act like a Quimby, real
bang in your way back to the
10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,500
shore bra.
Wow, in 2023, we returned to

Film and whiskey podcast,
14
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,400
welcome to the film and whiskey
podcast, where each week, we
15
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,900
review a classic movie and a
glass of whiskey.
16
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:16,800
I'm Bob book, I'm Reggie and
this week Brad, we are Rounding
17
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,300
out our mini series of Kathryn
Bigelow films with her 1990s,
18
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:26,000
Masterpiece Point Break.
I was going to say we we've
19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,600
reviewed The Hurt Locker we've
reviewed Zero, Dark Thirty, I
20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,500
think Point Break, maybe the
most important film she will
21
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,900
ever make.
I think so.
22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,300
I don't know.
It might be the most culturally
23
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,000
significant film we've ever done
on this show.
24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,600
Brad easily.
Yeah.
25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,400
But like, by far, if they live
in, like a very specific, Take
26
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,000
place of the country.
Yeah, right.
27
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,300
So here's the thing about Point
Break man, I said this at the
28
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,400
end of last week's episode,
normally I have seen and loved
29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,200
the films that we watch for this
show.
30
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,500
I had never seen Point Break
until this watch through.
31
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,000
Brad as, like, fourth fifth
time.
32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,600
I think I know we're on movie.
Number 201, on this podcast now
33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,699
and I think this is like, the
fifth time ever that I have not
34
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,200
seen the movie before.
It's just a big blind spot for
35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
me.
And I feel like in the wake of
36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,600
Kathryn, They'll be coming
capitulo.
37
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,100
Oscar-winning director.
This movie has taken on a second
38
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:26,200
life, and people have really
begun to critically reappraise
39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,100
it in a serious way and, you
know, it's a fun movie.
40
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,100
I just can't believe that.
It's by the same person that
41
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,500
made Hurt Locker in Zero, Dark
Thirty.
42
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:39,800
There's so wildly different but
you can still see like the
43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,600
prototype for a Kathryn.
Bigelow, movie embedded in this
44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,200
funny, Gary Busey See, Surfer
action movie?
45
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,900
Yeah, you 100% can, and we're
going to get to that in a
46
00:02:50,908 --> 00:02:52,600
second.
Bob, I'm curious.
47
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,800
Who would you consider to be a
lowercase o oscar-winning
48
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,200
director?
I want you to spill the beans
49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,900
right now, whoever the guy was
that did green book is a
50
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,500
lowercase o heater fairly fairly
lucrative by the way, Brad, as
51
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,100
we record this, and you hear the
voice of our guests here in the
52
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:15,500
background, we will introduce
him in just a second right now,
53
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,600
the confit.
Festival is going on, which is
54
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,100
one of the cool things about
that film festival is that it's
55
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,700
kind of a Marketplace of ideas
where if you need money for an
56
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:29,800
unproduced movie, you go to con
you wheel and deal you secure
57
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,100
International rights to make
your movie and then it becomes a
58
00:03:33,108 --> 00:03:34,900
straight to DVD movie in the
United States.
59
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:36,700
But you've got the rights to
release it and like
60
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,400
Czechoslovakia.
So they give you the money.
61
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,300
And so a lot of times people
that are kind of washed up like
62
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:47,800
sell movies at con and right now
they're the Rumor is that Nick
63
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,900
Val alonga the guy that wrote
green book is shopping his new
64
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:53,200
screenplay At Con.
It's amazing.
65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,000
It's a movie called That's
Amore.
66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,100
It is a romantic comedy.
You have to look up the plot of
67
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:00,500
this movie.
It is absolutely ridiculous but
68
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:04,900
currently attached to Star is
like 70 year old, John Travolta.
69
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:09,500
Hey, and Katherine Heigl and it
is a romantic comedy in which I
70
00:04:09,508 --> 00:04:12,400
believe they are the Romantic
leads with each other.
71
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:16,000
So I think that's incredible.
Nothing could go wrong there.
72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Bob.
No, in fact, I feel like we
73
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800
should just talk about That's
Amore.
74
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:23,500
Instead of Point Break today,
because it, I mean like it can't
75
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:24,900
get any more interesting than
that.
76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,400
The easily.
That's the right decision.
77
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,800
Bob at this point, I think we
need our guests to weigh in on
78
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,900
whether we should talk about
Point Break or That's Amore.
79
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:37,600
Yeah.
Today we are joined by a
80
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,900
first-time guest on the show.
It's Vince Mancini, who is like,
81
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:43,700
honestly one of my favorite
movie writers, he's the host of
82
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,900
a couple different podcast, I'll
let Vince come in and introduce
83
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:48,900
himself.
Self a little bit because he has
84
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:51,400
a very interesting point to make
about, That's Amore.
85
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800
So Vince, how are you today?
I'm doing great.
86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,800
Thank you guys for having me on.
I mean if there's two things in
87
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,900
the world that I know about it
is Point Break and Nic Val,
88
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,700
longest proposed movie, That's
Amore.
89
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,700
Do you know about them on an
equal?
90
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:11,000
Knowledge level.
I mean, you know, there's
91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,900
there's not a lot to know about
That's Amore as of yet.
92
00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:18,100
It's like two paragraphs so
percentage-wise you know.
93
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:21,000
Basically the same.
Yeah, I would say that I am have
94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,800
an encyclopedic knowledge of
both.
95
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,100
Yes.
All right.
96
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:26,700
So wait.
I'm seeing in the chat that you
97
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:28,500
said that.
You had an AI.
98
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:31,400
Write a scene for this movie.
Yeah.
99
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:35,100
Like I was obsessed with the
idea that Katherine Heigl was
100
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:38,600
going to be playing a character
named Patty Amore in this movie.
101
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:42,200
And when she is the love
interest, which is like my
102
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,000
favorite, like, Tyler Perry
writing move where you have, you
103
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
know, the movies called good
deeds, and it's about a guy
104
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400
named was lead.
He's like, that's just that's
105
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,200
great, that's classic
screenwriting.
106
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,500
No, no, I found that like chat
GPT is really good like it a few
107
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:01,400
narrow things and one of them is
like, writing bad movies when
108
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,300
given a prompt.
So like I gave it the prompt to
109
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,000
write this.
You know, this movie That's
110
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Amore with John Travolta.
You and Katherine Heigl, and I
111
00:06:10,207 --> 00:06:11,900
thought it did like a pretty
good job.
112
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:16,000
I mean, I took a couple goes,
but at least made me laugh.
113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,500
At least as good of a job.
As what Nick Val long is
114
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:20,200
probably doing.
Yeah.
115
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,600
What are you what?
I'm sensing here is that after
116
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,600
this episode recording, you're
going to hop on a plane to Khan
117
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,900
and sell this bad boy.
If it's not already sold right?
118
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,000
Be surprised if someone had
snapped it up yet.
119
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000
All right guys, so let's get
into talking about Point Break a
120
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,100
little bit, you know.
Vince we reached out to you a
121
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:40,000
couple months ago as up
Seneschal guest and you had
122
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,200
circled one of two movies and so
I guess I kind of jumped ahead
123
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,000
of myself a little bit here
because you said look I can
124
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,300
either join you for Point Break
which I love or Zero Dark Thirty
125
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:56,800
and this is your word which I
loathe and and I was like, you
126
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
know what, you've never been a
guest on the show before.
127
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:03,000
Maybe don't come and just like
shit all over your first movie.
128
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:06,100
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I like that II agree with
129
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:08,800
that.
And I honestly would I have a
130
00:07:08,808 --> 00:07:11,000
much better time.
Talking about Point Break.
131
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,500
Anyway, here's my thing, nor
we're going to do this in a
132
00:07:14,508 --> 00:07:17,000
second.
I do Brad explains take 60
133
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,200
seconds to explain the movie.
Can you give us Vince lobes a 60
134
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,100
second segment.
I'm instituting right now where
135
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,800
he talks about why he hates Zero
Dark Thirty.
136
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400
That was my question like you
know, we and we talked about the
137
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,600
controversies and a lot of the
reasons that people critics
138
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,000
especially hated that movie.
So I'm wondering like they loved
139
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,200
it at the time.
I felt like I Out completely on
140
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,700
an island saying that, I hated
it at the time.
141
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,900
Okay.
So let's, let's do, Vince,
142
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:46,600
loads.
I want to hear, like, what is
143
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,300
your reasoning behind your
hatred for that movie?
144
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:53,200
I mean, first bullet point, it
is literally like a CIA, puff
145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,000
piece.
Like, this was, this is like
146
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,600
part of the cia's public
relations campaign, like, they
147
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,200
literally had a big hand in this
movie, and put it out there as a
148
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,600
way to make themselves look
good.
149
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Like Like the entire, the entire
Jessica Chastain character.
150
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,700
Like, I'm the motherfucker who
found him, sir, like completely
151
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:19,800
not a real person.
The completely bullshit
152
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600
character.
And it also realigned though.
153
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:22,800
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
154
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:29,300
And just, I don't know.
It treats, it treats this, you
155
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:33,100
know, extra legal execution.
Not that I like, you know, shed
156
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:36,200
any special tear for Osama Bin
Laden obviously, but like, just
157
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,500
the way that they made it into
like a cool video game.
158
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:42,799
Like I get that we as a society,
wanted this guy dead and we had
159
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:44,500
some seals go in and blow his
brains out.
160
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:47,500
But if you're going to do that,
show the brains, like making us
161
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,000
actually grapple with the thing
that we did and not make it
162
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,600
like, oh, wasn't that cool?
Wasn't it like a video game?
163
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,200
It's like, first of all, you
crashed your helicopter in this
164
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,200
guy's a compound where he was
like sitting in, in, like he was
165
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,200
sitting on house, arrest
watching porn, and, and we went
166
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400
into go executed, when you
crashed your helicopter, like,
167
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:12,100
You weren't that cool?
Sorry, it wasn't a cool video
168
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:13,800
game.
It was kind of like you screwed
169
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,000
up and I don't know, Vince, I
should have warned you before
170
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,700
hand.
We don't talk about killing
171
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,700
Osama Bin Laden.
We caught him.
172
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:22,900
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
173
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,000
We caught.
It's the caught him.
174
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
We got him.
You guys.
175
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,800
Sorry.
You know like I think you're a
176
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,600
right to steer me towards Point
Break.
177
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,900
It's because that wasn't that's
a movie that I love and I could
178
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,200
talk about all day.
All right, in the spirit of
179
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,500
talking about this movie, it is
time for America's favorite
180
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:43,000
segment which we call Brad
explains rats gonna give us the
181
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,200
movie plots with only 60 seconds
ticking on the clock.
182
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,600
So let's go ahead and do you
take with this little segment
183
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,100
that we call Brad explains?
Brad explains is the part of the
184
00:09:53,108 --> 00:09:56,200
podcast where Brad breaks down
the plot of the movie that he
185
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,900
has just seen often for the
first time Brad.
186
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:02,500
Listen, I know for damn sure
that if it was my first time
187
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:06,100
seeing Point Break, it was
definitely your first time
188
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,800
seeing Point Break.
Hey, I mean so far.
189
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,400
We've had one movie.
I think that I saw and you
190
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,400
hadn't, right?
Sheree and charade and other
191
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,100
than that, you are correct.
As if you haven't seen it, I
192
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,400
haven't seen it.
Well, the great appeal of our
193
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,400
show is that, you know, I am a
movie nerd and I'm introducing
194
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Brad to so many of these films,
but the beauty of today Brad is
195
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,200
that we are discovering this
alongside each other.
196
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,500
So I will be judging your Brad
explains even more harshly than
197
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:35,500
normal.
Well maybe this should be a bob
198
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:36,700
explained.
Absolutely.
199
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:38,000
I feel like that.
Should be.
200
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,100
No, I feel like that should be
your punishment for not having
201
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,600
seen the movie before Brad, you
have 60 seconds on the clock, to
202
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,900
explain the plot of this movie.
And go an FBI agent with the
203
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,200
name.
Johnny Utah.
204
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,600
I'm just going to linger on that
for a second.
205
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,600
His name is Johnny.
Utah goes undercover to catch a
206
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,900
gang of robbers who are also
totally rad Surfers and they're
207
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:09,900
led by Patrick Swayze.
Who's kind of a Eastern
208
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,900
mysticism, Buddhist monk, kind
of dude, who's just wants to
209
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:19,100
experience life to the fullest
and they jump out of airplanes
210
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:23,000
and they murder people and rob
banks, and just have a totally
211
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,600
killer time doing it, man.
It's awesome.
212
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:30,600
And Keanu, Reeves has a bad knee
and Gary Busey gets shot.
213
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,500
Hmm.
Yeah.
214
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,200
There you go, there's Point
Break.
215
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,000
What a, what a plot synopsis you
you I've offered here.
216
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,300
All right.
I mean, he was a quarterback for
217
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,400
Ohio State.
Who blew his knee out in the
218
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Rose Bowl against USC here.
That's Frank you very much.
219
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,000
What do you see that?
I am.
220
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,600
I'm donning, my Ohio State gear
here tonight.
221
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,200
Brad.
And I are both huge Buckeyes
222
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,300
fans.
I did not expect to see that.
223
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:57,900
Johnny Utah was a former Buckeye
himself, but I will say that
224
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,900
it's hilarious that even back in
1991.
225
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,700
The Trope of the Ohio State
quarterback, not going pro was
226
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:08,200
true.
Even then like it's You nailed
227
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,900
man.
You know I blew out my knee and
228
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:11,500
everybody on the beach was like
yeah.
229
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:14,400
Yeah that tracks I guess for the
has to keep your eyes open.
230
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:16,200
There you go.
Yeah, I mean it was it was
231
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,000
honestly prophetic, I think so
Brad.
232
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Where do we start with this
movie?
233
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Do you want to start with
performances?
234
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,300
Do you just want to start with
General impressions of the
235
00:12:24,308 --> 00:12:27,500
movie?
Where should we go honestly?
236
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,700
I think starting with
performances is a good place to
237
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:35,700
be simply because like all of
the main performers in this
238
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:41,200
film, I am Honestly think give
like, solid B and up
239
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,500
performances.
Like everybody is really good in
240
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:49,900
the film, and I like, I mean,
you have a, oh, I can't remember
241
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,300
his name right now.
The doctor from Scrubs.
242
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:54,000
He's again Lee.
Yeah.
243
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,200
Thank you just being incredible
as like this hard-nosed.
244
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,200
You know, Sergeant.
I just loved it.
245
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:04,600
I have a very specific take on
the performances.
246
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,000
If you'll, please Jump Right In,
please.
247
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,300
I'm yeah.
I mean, you guys are talking
248
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:12,200
about the filmmaker that Kathryn
Bigelow would become, you know,
249
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,400
the capital.
Oh, Oscar filmmaker and I think
250
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,700
Patrick Swayze is do is
performing for that director and
251
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:25,600
everybody else in the movie
recognizes that Point Break is
252
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,400
sort of like a fun be movie and
like jhansi McGinley Keanu,
253
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Reeves and Gary Busey who is
absolutely incredible in this
254
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,400
movie.
I think they are all just
255
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,900
knocking out of the park.
These Great, B movie, roles Lori
256
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,600
Petty to, and then, you know,
Patrick Swayze shows up and he's
257
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,400
sort of got that like, Tom
Cruise shark eyes thing where
258
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,400
he's like, he's dialed it.
Yeah, like he's dialed in and
259
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,100
he's doing a more serious movie
than the movie actually is.
260
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,500
And it works because like that
is his character as this like
261
00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:01,600
freaky serious bodhisattva guy
who can convince you to join a
262
00:14:01,608 --> 00:14:04,200
surf gang.
Let's get, let's start with
263
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,800
Swayze Brad.
This is the first Patrick Swayze
264
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,300
movie.
Ever done on this show.
265
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:12,100
We have we've made surprisingly
not a lot of Patrick Swayze
266
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:15,200
movies on the AFI top 100.
I don't know what's going on.
267
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,500
If you need, if you need to have
me back for Roadhouse, that was
268
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:23,100
filmed in my hometown and I also
have an encyclopedic knowledge
269
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,100
of that film which you should
also see.
270
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:27,000
Absolutely.
We need to implement this
271
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,100
Swayze, the Swayze miniseries of
Red Dawn Roadhouse and The
272
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,900
Outsiders or or ghost throw one
of those two in there will bring
273
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:37,200
Vince back on for a marathon.
I was going to say bye.
274
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:39,800
Bob Vince might just leave the
podcast.
275
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,700
This is the first Patrick Swayze
movie.
276
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:45,600
I've I don't like gosh, like
the, the closest I've ever come
277
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,000
to watching.
Patrick, Swayze Act is watching
278
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
him and Chris Farley.
Try out for Chippendales
279
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,100
together.
Well, there you go.
280
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:54,300
I mean I don't really know where
to go from there, except to say,
281
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,700
Patrick Swayze in this movie
Brad legitimately.
282
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:00,800
And I don't just mean like for a
cocaine-fueled.
283
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,800
Early 90s action film, he's
good.
284
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,300
He is like unbelievably good in
this movie.
285
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:09,200
Yeah.
I legitimately was blown away.
286
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:15,100
I think part of it is I'll call
it the Matt Damon effect of like
287
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:18,900
coming into a movie halfway
through like he's really not in
288
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:24,700
the movie very much until 45 to
60 minutes into the film and
289
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:28,500
it's only a two-hour film.
So like you don't get a ton of
290
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:32,600
him but once he like really
cements himself as one of the
291
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,900
main characters of film dude,
takes it home.
292
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:37,600
Yeah.
There's like a certain Then kind
293
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,900
of actor and I've read the
director of Killing Them Softly,
294
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,000
say this about Brad Pitt, which
I think is also true.
295
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,300
It's like there's a certain type
of actor that is only.
296
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:49,700
They can only play a character
who sort of like, Larger than
297
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,400
Life and is like, it almost like
mythical figure.
298
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,500
Yeah, and I think that very much
applies to Patrick Swayze in
299
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:58,900
like Bay, you know, I've really
only seen him in like two
300
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,700
movies, the rest.
Yeah, I'm sure I saw at one
301
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:05,800
point, but like in Road House
and in Point Break, he is like
302
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,200
this, like mythical Sage
character and he's not playing
303
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,800
like a normal human, he's
playing this character who.
304
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,200
Yeah, it's like a human myth,
musically?
305
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,500
And yeah and I think that that
psychotic commitment that he has
306
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:23,900
throughout this whole movie is
just like perfect for the
307
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:27,700
character.
Honestly, he reminds me a little
308
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:32,300
bit in a more extreme way and
like the negative version of
309
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:36,600
this, but he kind of reminds me
of Samuel Jackson from Pulp
310
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,800
Fiction.
Like the way he waxes, poetic
311
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,500
lie about his beliefs about the
world and like, gives these
312
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,000
speeches.
I'm like, I felt Vibes of that
313
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:49,500
in this.
I mean, I guess technically,
314
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:52,900
yeah, Pulp Fiction was a for
three or four years later, but
315
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,400
yeah, it's hard to see, like,
little real literal reality and
316
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,900
a character who speaks like in
monologues and allegories.
317
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:03,600
But yeah, but it but we love
watching it.
318
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,300
It's always fun to watch when
it's done.
319
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,200
Well, it's such a cool
performance.
320
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:10,500
Foreman sin like in the Arc of
his career to because, you know,
321
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:13,700
he gets famous in the early 80s,
obviously The Outsiders and then
322
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:17,400
into Red Dawn and all the way
through to like your Roadhouse's
323
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,900
and he's at a point.
I think he's 38 39 years old
324
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:23,700
when this movie comes out.
So he's, you know, he's getting
325
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:25,800
to the point where he's gonna
start playing dad's if he's not
326
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:31,000
careful and what he does is he
leans into this I don't know
327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,400
what you would call this guy
Brad.
328
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,200
I mean, like, obviously Sage
kind of older wiser figure, but
329
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:39,700
it works so perfectly playing
against Keanu, who is in one of
330
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,400
his very first leading
performances in this movie.
331
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,200
And I think it's, it says, a lot
about him that this is clearly
332
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,300
positioned to be keanu's, like
diving board jumping off.
333
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,700
Point into superstardom, this is
his movie star breakout role.
334
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:58,200
And I think John, John, Wayne
and Stagecoach and I think
335
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Swayze just steal is the whole
movie out from under him, he
336
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,400
because, yeah, it's the weight
and I think Bigelow's kind of in
337
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,900
on it a little bit to, it's the
way she likes him.
338
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:12,400
Like, the way, this guy looks
lit by a campfire, with his
339
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,300
golden locks and stubbly beard.
He is one of the most beautiful
340
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:20,000
men I've ever seen on screen.
I've heard it said that this is
341
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,600
one of the only and arguably the
only movie of this era like the
342
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Crazy Action Movie.
Joel Silver like Lethal Weapon
343
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,000
movies, which I'm also a huge
fan of like all His movies are
344
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,700
very male, gaze e, and like,
this one is like the loan.
345
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:39,000
It's very much like a female
gaze in like a action movie
346
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,400
aimed at 13 year old boys, as
all of them were like in that
347
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,100
era.
Yeah, it works because like you
348
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,100
could see yourself wanting that
you know older Mentor that is
349
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,600
Patrick Swayze because you're
like man, this guy's cool like I
350
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,800
can't deny, it's just it's just
self-evident and that's like
351
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,300
part of the charm of the movie,
right?
352
00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:03,400
Is that he's stuck with Gabe.
You see the most?
353
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,500
I mean, he won world's most
attractive man by GQ what like,
354
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:09,400
seven times in a row.
Right.
355
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:13,000
Who's that Swayze.
No Gary.
356
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,400
Are you saying this?
I didn't get the joke at first.
357
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:22,100
I was like, yeah, there's like
so many conflicting career arcs.
358
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,900
I mean, everybody, like all the
actors in this movie have such
359
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:28,400
like, to me, this is Swayze sort
of like makana sants movie.
360
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,700
Like Matthew McConaughey was
sort of like, Hot guy who was a
361
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:35,200
joke and then, he sort of, you
know, he came back and serious
362
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,500
actor form.
Like, that's totally.
363
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,700
Like it was the Lincoln
commercials that did that.
364
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,000
Yeah.
And then, you got Gary Busey who
365
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,800
was like, went from heartthrob
to this to, like crashing, his
366
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,600
motorcycle and becoming sort of
just like a famous celebrity
367
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,600
weirdo.
Yeah.
368
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,600
This is Prix motorcycle
accident.
369
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,100
I believe, right?
I think so.
370
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:57,800
I think that was the thing that
like finally, like, started the
371
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,700
downward trajectory for abusing
and he is legit, like, Busey is
372
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:04,300
legitimately incredible this
movie to I'm so good.
373
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:06,500
Almost all of almost all of his
lines.
374
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:08,000
Make me laugh out loud in this
movie.
375
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,100
I want to talk about Busey, but
let's come back around to him
376
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:15,800
because I think the comparison
Point here is Swayze versus
377
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,100
Keanu and I don't mean to make
it like a versus an antagonistic
378
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:23,500
thing.
But Brad, I think that Swayze is
379
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:28,000
so good at this point.
And so in control of his own
380
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,600
kind of movie star Persona and
Keanu, still hasn't really
381
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,500
figured out yet who he is as a
movie star and he doesn't really
382
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:38,500
cement that until the Matrix
which is this kind of stoic.
383
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:41,500
I don't say very much, I hide
behind a pair of sunglasses.
384
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,400
I don't move my face very much
and I do what I'm supposed to
385
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,400
like I'm good at stunts and here
he's still like really going for
386
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,000
it as an actor and I don't know
if I'm being unfair to Keanu.
387
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,800
Or if it's just that Swayze so
good that it makes keanu's
388
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,200
performance seem even worse by
comparison.
389
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,700
Well, that's the thing is that
in the Matrix films and others
390
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:06,400
that Keanu has been in.
I don't know if there's any
391
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,600
actors too far above the level
of Keanu.
392
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,000
Whereas, in this film, I'm with
you man.
393
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,300
I think Swayze is acting at like
an a-minus a level.
394
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:22,300
Like he is killing it and Keanu
Reeves.
395
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:28,300
It's not a great actor, I agree.
But I also feel like his narrow
396
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,300
range sort of works for the
character because like he's
397
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:33,500
100%.
I mean, he's playing like sort
398
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:37,100
of a dumb jock turned dumb
Surfer.
399
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,200
So yeah, I mean, like there's
definitely like his acting is
400
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,000
hilarious in this movie
objectively, but I also feel
401
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,100
like you do believe him in it,
because it does fit the
402
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:52,800
character to some degree.
Yeah.
403
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Well, and like they set him up
like that with the story, right?
404
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,300
Like your introduction to him,
is him being really good at
405
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:03,000
shooting a gun.
Like it's not him nailing like
406
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,300
foreign language class, or like
stealth, you know, infiltrating
407
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,100
a gang class.
It's him shooting a gun which is
408
00:22:10,108 --> 00:22:13,400
basically The Jock version of
being an FBI agent.
409
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:18,000
And it also gave me strong, John
Wick Vibes, you know, 30 years.
410
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,900
It seems like he joined the FBI
because he was like what job
411
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:23,100
will allow me to keep being a
Jacques more?
412
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:23,900
Yes.
Yeah.
413
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,000
This is a perfect segue into my
question of the day, guys is
414
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,400
Johnny Utah.
The worst FBI agent of all time
415
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:36,300
because watching this film, it's
clear.
416
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,600
He didn't pay attention in any
other class at the Academy
417
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,000
except for, like the shooting
range.
418
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,800
I just like he, he gives these
guys, his full Christian name,
419
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,200
like the the second he meets
them.
420
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:52,800
And then not only does he tell
them like, hey, I'm Johnny, Tha
421
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:57,300
they're like, oh yes, Johnny
Utah, you are the quarterback of
422
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,600
maybe the biggest brand and
Collegiate Sports.
423
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,500
We've seen you on National
Television every week for years.
424
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:08,000
How in the hell did this guy?
Go into the FBI thinking that
425
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,300
he's gonna go undercover
anywhere?
426
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,900
I just like the the entire think
he was I think he's the best FBI
427
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:17,700
agent.
He was like too pure for the FBI
428
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:21,300
that are like hey you want to go
infiltrate like this?
429
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,700
You know, civil rights a group
and figure out how to, like,
430
00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:30,800
figure out how to undermine it.
And he's like, no, I want to go
431
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:35,700
learn how to surf, and I might
go a little bit native when I do
432
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:40,000
and that's like a human response
and it's like, well, you can't
433
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,800
be in the FBI.
Now, my favorite, my favorite
434
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600
thing is that at multiple points
in the movie you're like, all
435
00:23:45,608 --> 00:23:47,100
right.
He's going to learn his lesson
436
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,700
about how to not suck at his job
now and then it's like no he's
437
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:52,400
going to run down the street in
Broad.
438
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:54,000
Light after these guys, going
up.
439
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,200
Bi I'm Johnny Utah.
And then after that he's like,
440
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:01,200
I'm going to sleep with Lori
Petty now.
441
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,200
But when I sleep with Lori,
Petty, I'm going to leave my
442
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,600
wallet just want like just
spread-eagled on my nightstand
443
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:10,000
so that she could see my FBI
badge.
444
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:16,000
Like I also I also feel like he
doesn't know what the FBI is
445
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,100
like, he's not only is he bad
FBI agent?
446
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,800
He doesn't know how to pretend
to be an FBI agent because he
447
00:24:20,808 --> 00:24:23,700
doesn't really understand it.
Like the First introduction is,
448
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:26,100
he's in the office and he's
trying to impress jhansi
449
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,300
McGinley.
And the first thing he says is
450
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:32,000
like oh I take the skin off
chicken sir and then five
451
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,200
seconds later.
He's like eating a doughnut.
452
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,700
Like he's trying to Pander to
them but he doesn't know which
453
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:39,800
direction to do it in because
he's seems to be confused about
454
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800
the whole thing.
That was the part that got me.
455
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,400
I was like, wait a second.
Is he going to be like, the like
456
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,900
rookie?
Who knows it all.
457
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,300
I don't like honestly, like the
Tom Cruise Direction.
458
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,500
Like, I'm a young.
Child and you can't tell me what
459
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:57,300
to do or is he trying to like
suck up to this guy?
460
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:00,900
And I had no idea and I don't
know if that's like the scripts
461
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:04,400
fault or keanu's fault but it
was entertaining at the very
462
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,100
least.
Yeah.
463
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,100
He always.
I mean, Keanu, Reeves always has
464
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:10,800
like this the appeal of like a
dog wearing a hat because it's
465
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,200
like he's he's really cute and
like you put them in these
466
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,900
different formats and it doesn't
really fit but it's really
467
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:22,900
adorable when he tries to do it.
So what I hear us saying is We
468
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:26,600
all love Keanu in this role.
Listen Keanu is a national
469
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,900
treasure at this point, but I
feel like with the National
470
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:32,900
Treasure status, we've
collectively just decided to
471
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:37,000
forgive him for a lot of things
that, you know, he has not had
472
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,300
the best performances ever.
I love the guy to death.
473
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:41,500
The Matrix is an Alzheimer John
Wick.
474
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:45,700
Really cool series.
He just gets circles acted
475
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:47,600
around him by Swayze in this
movie.
476
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:51,700
Yeah, I mean, I just think that,
you know, not every good.
477
00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:55,000
Is going to look like Daniel
Day-Lewis.
478
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Sometimes sometimes it can be
Keanu, Reeves.
479
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,900
And you're like, I'd enjoy this
just as much.
480
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:01,900
It's a different thing but I
like it still.
481
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,700
Yeah, I mean, honestly, we
talked about that a lot on the
482
00:26:04,700 --> 00:26:09,400
podcast Vince, where it can be
so hard to delineate, am I going
483
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,000
to give this a good score
because the actor was what the
484
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,500
script and director were looking
for?
485
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,800
Or am I going to give them a bad
score?
486
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,600
Because like I didn't like it
even if it was what they were
487
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,000
hoping for.
Like I'm some genuinely hard
488
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,300
question to answer it times
here.
489
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:29,100
I think it's a little easier
because Johnny, Utah's just
490
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:31,200
really cool.
Yeah, I mean it's like the
491
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,900
battle between auteur Theory
where you just assume every
492
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:40,000
everything that happens was you
know the result of some great
493
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,100
artists and their and their
master plan.
494
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:45,300
But I feel like a lot of good
movies and good performances are
495
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:49,300
just like a weird combination of
things that happened.
496
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,300
And it's sort of like this
spontaneous occurrence that
497
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,200
Could only happen in just that
one way and it's exciting
498
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,000
because of that.
All right, guys, before we go to
499
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,000
break, I want to hit like the
three other main / supporting
500
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,400
actors in this movie and that
would be Lori, Petty Gary Busey
501
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,800
and John see McGinley.
So let's start with Lori Petty.
502
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,500
And I just want to like 30
seconds on Lori Petty because
503
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:16,700
I'm really, if I'm being honest,
I'm really only familiar with
504
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:19,700
her from A League of Their Own
Brad, in which she plays a
505
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:22,400
completely different character
and type of just a little bit.
506
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:24,400
It.
I was really impressed with her
507
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,700
performance here and it was, I
mean, it was just really cool to
508
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:30,800
see her not being like the
annoying little sister and to
509
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,800
hold her own as a, you know, the
to be frank, like a very sexy,
510
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,500
like female lead of a movie
where, like the the main
511
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:42,900
characters, having a sex scene
is like, pivotal to the movie.
512
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,100
She really held her own in that
kind of a roll.
513
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,700
Yeah, I think that, for me, I
couldn't get over for a little
514
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:51,300
bit.
The, I mean, maybe it wasn't
515
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:56,200
obvious in the 90s.
But in 2023 look back on this.
516
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,400
And it's like, there's just such
an obvious.
517
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,600
Like she's going to be like a
punk rock and we're going to
518
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,100
give her a boy's name and she's
not going to take any crap from
519
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:10,600
any man and like it works.
She does a great job with it but
520
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,500
I just couldn't help but laugh
at that the first like 30
521
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:15,000
minutes of the movie.
It's weird.
522
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,900
Because it's like it's expected
in that sense like the oh man,
523
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:23,000
she's so in my face but at the
same time it's like you know, if
524
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,600
you look at The Point Break
remake, they cast Teresa Palmer.
525
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,900
And that is sort of the kind of
actress that you sort of expect
526
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:34,900
to be in this role which is like
the blond like model looking one
527
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,500
who's like very voluptuous or
whatever like Lori Petty was a
528
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,100
different thing and even now
watching it you like yeah she
529
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:46,100
still seems like an
unconventional choice for yeah,
530
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:47,900
troll.
Well I think that's like
531
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:50,900
honestly, that's a huge credit
to Kathryn Bigelow and and I'm
532
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:52,400
sure she had a hand in that
casting.
533
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,400
To because she looks like
someone I don't.
534
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,100
I have no idea what her surfing
abilities are in real life.
535
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:01,800
But she has an incredibly
athletic built and I think
536
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,300
that's part of what you're
getting at here.
537
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:06,900
Vince is like she doesn't look
like your kind of typical
538
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:12,800
everyday voluptuous leading lady
but she wouldn't be going to be
539
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,100
in Baywatch, right.
But she actually seems like she
540
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,700
belongs on the beach more than
anybody in Baywatch.
541
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:22,400
Does because she's like doing
these incredibly athletic feats.
542
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:25,200
On the surfboard.
Yeah, she looks like what an
543
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,600
actual, you know girls Surfer?
Yeah, but look like and has that
544
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,800
same appeal 100%.
All right, well, if we're going
545
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,900
to talk about voluptuous bodies
that we find for, then I got to
546
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:39,500
talk about Gary Busey for a
little bit.
547
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:44,900
Okay, here's the thing about
Gary Busey like he's always
548
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:49,800
operating at 100 plus on the
scale of whatever scale you want
549
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,900
to call it and yet this movie
really 10 scale, This movie is
550
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:59,000
so Bonkers in the just the plot
elements.
551
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:04,200
That Busey not only seems at
home, but seems like, oh, yeah.
552
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,300
This is a very naturalistic,
kind of performance.
553
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:11,600
Like he, he doesn't seem over
the top at all, and in the first
554
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,200
five minutes of the movie, where
he's like, all right, you ready?
555
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,900
I'm gonna give you the answer
right now.
556
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,600
They're Surfers.
I'm like, what the hell?
557
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,300
You know.
And if you can get past that
558
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:27,600
initial bump, Which is this is a
Preposterous plot, it 100% works
559
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,500
and not only does it work.
It gives Busey like this level
560
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:37,100
of verisimilitude that the that
like, in any other movie, he
561
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:38,900
would be miles and miles over
the top.
562
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:42,800
And in this one, he fits right
in I think what I love about him
563
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,300
is that from the very start, you
get his entire character, like,
564
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:50,900
they're asking him to dive for
two bricks and he's like, what
565
00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:53,000
the hell does this have to do
with me?
566
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:56,300
Being an FBI agent.
But sure, I'll jump through the
567
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:59,200
Hoops, mmm, and that's his
character, the rest of the
568
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,600
movie.
And he is so over-the-top and
569
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,500
trying to jump through the Hoops
that they put him in that and
570
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,200
not just like the FBI.
But that Kathryn Bigelow is
571
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,500
asking of him that I absolutely
loved him in this.
572
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:21,100
Yeah, I think like he's playing
like, there's this view of Allah
573
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:26,900
as the place where all these X
counterculture figures like went
574
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:30,200
to settle and, like, they're
really painting Busey.
575
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,700
Is that like that?
That's basically, like the, what
576
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:37,300
the entire like, social
background of The Big Lebowski
577
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:40,900
is, and I kind of could I could
see Gary Busey his character.
578
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,400
In this as, you know, sort of
that, you know, eight or nine
579
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,400
years earlier because like one
of his lines was like, I like
580
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,500
he's reminiscing about like the
good old days of California and
581
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,500
like the 60s and 70s, where he's
like that the air got dirty in
582
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:59,400
the sex, got clean just like,
he's sort of like a, he's a
583
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:04,100
burnout like ex-hippie sort of
guy who is in the FBI for some
584
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,300
reason because of your like
yeah.
585
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:10,400
He's why not?
Honestly, I feel like he could
586
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,600
play the Oh, Crow character in
The Other Guys.
587
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,900
Oh, 100% and pull it off back.
Like I feel like Russell Crowe's
588
00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:23,400
character is Gary Busey's
character just earlier in life.
589
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:25,800
Yeah, I like Russell Crowe just
because he was a slightly more
590
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,700
menacing than he.
He works better as like an
591
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:31,600
enforcer, maybe then right then
Gary Busey does, but they do
592
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,000
have that same quality of, like,
I think Gary Busey went to
593
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,500
college on a football
scholarship like they, they have
594
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:40,900
ex-jock energy, whereas, you
know, Keanu is like an actor.
595
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Playing an ex-jock.
When Gary Busey is actually what
596
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,600
a next job looks like what you
just has that, he's got that
597
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,700
Lumber to him and and like all
the dad jokes that he spits it
598
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:53,600
with movie, just leave it.
Somebody sports.
599
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,700
Did you play well, I think one
of the reasons that Busey seems
600
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:03,800
tame by Busey standards is that
you've got John see McGinley who
601
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,200
is just absolutely shooting his
shot in every scene of this
602
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,900
movie?
I have never seen anyone go.
603
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,100
As far over the top in a
performance when it's like,
604
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:18,200
you've got five minutes on
screen, you have to make every
605
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,800
second count and you have to do
all of them at 100 out of 100
606
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,800
level.
This guy is like it.
607
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,800
I keep wanting to compare this
movie to like, a Michael Bay
608
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,400
movie, or like to Con Air or
something, because there is just
609
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,600
a level of the writing and the
direction.
610
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,400
And the acting of this movie,
seems so fueled by cocaine.
611
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Then like only a certain, upper
echelon of people can reach
612
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,700
those Heights and John.
See, McGinley is doing it here.
613
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:52,500
I think they, at the time there
was, you know, the the Angry
614
00:33:52,500 --> 00:34:00,200
police captain, who is pissed
off at his unorthodox, Loose
615
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Cannon.
Underlings was just like an
616
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,500
established Lane for actors at
this time and they were all sort
617
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:08,800
of competing with each other to
see who could take it more over
618
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,400
the top and like that was
established as Like a lane in
619
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,900
which actors could absolutely go
for it.
620
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:17,500
And so, like he's competing
against the guy from Beverly
621
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:20,300
Hills Cop, he's competing
against like the guy in Lethal
622
00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:22,900
Weapon, he's competing against
like I'm sure there was a
623
00:34:22,908 --> 00:34:26,699
character in like Tango & Cash.
Like how many movies had like at
624
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:31,400
an angry police captain who was
pissed about that do you know
625
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,100
this crazy Loose Cannon
destroyed a whole city block
626
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,699
again and they had to really
like lay down the law and likes.
627
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:41,800
He's just he's doing that.
He might be the Most memorable
628
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,400
one in that, you know, in that
style of roll.
629
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,199
But what's hilarious about it is
that like, in this movie, you
630
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,699
know, in every other movie,
people are blowing up a city
631
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:53,800
block and then they're like,
damn it, Mel Gibson.
632
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,900
You gotta rein yourself in.
And in this movie Keanu, is
633
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:01,400
like, can I go surfing and John
Cena Gillies like, hey Jonathan?
634
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,700
Yeah, I need to go blow up a
whole city block Ray.
635
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,600
Oh, man, I I will say I have not
watched the show in years.
636
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:18,700
I'm a huge scrubs fan and
McGinley is like the primary
637
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:21,100
reason.
Yeah, he just has an incredible
638
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:26,300
talent for giving angry
monologues and I feel like in
639
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:29,700
this, he's trying to like join
Beatrice straight and Robert
640
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,200
Duvall.
With like the lowest amount of
641
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:38,300
screen, time to win a Best
Supporting Oscar Does he like he
642
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:42,500
is he is giving it his all as
you said Bob he's shooting his
643
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,700
shot in every single scene.
All right guys, we're gonna
644
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,300
press pause here, we'll come
back after the whiskey break.
645
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:53,200
We'll talk a little bit about
Kathryn Bigelow and how this
646
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:58,000
movie fits into her groove ra,
but before we get there Brad,
647
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,600
what do you say we stop here?
Let's try this Maker's Mark.
648
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:09,400
Let's get to it, man.
Alright, so today we are
649
00:36:09,408 --> 00:36:14,700
checking out Makers Mark 101.
Brad, you know, I don't think
650
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:17,900
we've ever done regular Maker's
Mark on this podcast.
651
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:20,400
Have we?
I don't think we've had--we've
652
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,900
like tiptoed around it with all
their other Expressions.
653
00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:25,300
We tried makers 46 way back in
season.
654
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:29,800
One last year we did Makers Cask
strength which was yeah I think
655
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,900
that's right we didn't we hadn't
tried a makers in like six
656
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:37,600
seasons and we loved The Cask
strength after being like kinda
657
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:42,600
iffy on 46 back in season 1.
So we're eventually we're going
658
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,300
to get around to drinking
standard Makers Mark but I think
659
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:47,400
we're going to drink through
every other possible expression
660
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,000
that they offer first.
That's the goal, every single
661
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,500
single barrel they've ever
released, like all the other
662
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:56,800
options, all right?
So Maker's Mark is perhaps the
663
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,400
world's most famous weeded
Bourbon, and when we talk about
664
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,900
weeded bourbon, you know, Brad,
I think sometimes we forget
665
00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:06,500
that, When we started this
podcast, we were very new to
666
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:08,700
Whiskey.
And we've done this weeks and
667
00:37:08,707 --> 00:37:12,200
weeks and weeks in a row.
This is what the 201st week in a
668
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,400
row.
We've talked about whiskey.
669
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,700
So after we say something, when
we bunch of times, we don't
670
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,800
always say it.
But this could be someone's
671
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,500
first episode of film in whiskey
and maybe they're not familiar
672
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:22,500
with.
We did bourbon.
673
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:27,600
So bourbon as a drink is
predominantly made of corn and
674
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,300
when we talk about we did
bourbon, it means that the
675
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:34,200
second most used grain to make
that whiskey is sweet.
676
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,400
Then in a lot of cases, that
makes the bourbon people like to
677
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,700
say that it kind of rounds off.
The sharp edges of the bourbon,
678
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:42,900
it's not as prickly as spicy as
Rye.
679
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:46,400
Grain is Brad and I really love
are weeded bourbon, especially
680
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,900
me.
I think it gives it a really,
681
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:50,900
really sweet character.
And so, what's in our glass?
682
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:55,200
Today is a weeded bourbon, it
consists of 60 percent corn, 26
683
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,500
percent red winter, wheat and
14% malted barley.
684
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,900
It's aged for at least four
years and as you might be able
685
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:05,000
to tell from the 101st, In the
name.
686
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:08,800
It is 50 .5 percent alcohol by
volume.
687
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,900
Yeah, honestly Baba.
When I saw this on the on the
688
00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:15,700
docket I was really excited
because of how much I love that
689
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:20,000
Cask strength, which I think
comes in at, like 113, 114
690
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,100
proof.
Yeah, comes in somewhere around
691
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:22,600
there.
Brad.
692
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,700
This 101 was initially only
offered as leg, an in-house
693
00:38:26,700 --> 00:38:29,700
Distillery only thing that you
could buy if you made the trip
694
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:33,600
to Kentucky and back in I think
2020 or 2021 they started
695
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,400
releasing it.
It as a special edition but it's
696
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,100
a you know, Nationwide
distribution.
697
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:42,200
So you can find this on shelves
near you or, you know, you could
698
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,700
just pick up a bottle of the 90
Proof Maker's Mark and a bottle
699
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:48,100
of The Cask strength and just
kind of mix them together.
700
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:51,100
And come out with something that
probably approximates.
701
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:53,600
This pretty well Brad.
You've been sipping on this
702
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,300
already.
I have not tried it yet.
703
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,500
So go ahead and give us your
nose notes.
704
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,600
Yeah, I give it a 7 out of 10 on
the nose.
705
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:05,000
I think that there's some green
apple here, a little bit of a A
706
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,400
baking spice, almost an
allspice.
707
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,500
Feel there's some cherry that's
going on which is very typical
708
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:12,700
for a.
We did bourbon.
709
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:20,000
However, the predominant note
for me was ethanol, like I I
710
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,400
struggled to get much more than
that and there's tricks for
711
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,300
being able to, you know, kind of
clear out the nose so that
712
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,000
you're not just getting the
alcohol.
713
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,600
The man I was having a really
hard time finding any other
714
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,700
notes that that I enjoy.
I'd it's decent but not great.
715
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:39,500
Like I said, seven out of ten.
Yeah, when I first poured it out
716
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:42,600
I got a lot of melon like a
really ripe cantaloupe but that
717
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,500
one away pretty quickly and it
was replaced by notes that we
718
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:47,600
typically get on weeded
Bourbons.
719
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,400
This has a lot of like a darker
fruit note to it but for me it's
720
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,400
not the Cherry that we normally
get.
721
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:56,700
It smells almost.
Like I don't know if you've ever
722
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,000
made like fresh apple sauce
before Brad but they'd almost
723
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,300
smells like when you have to
take all the peels off of like a
724
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:05,500
red, delicious apple.
And You just have that the red
725
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:09,000
apple peel left to discard, it
has that earthiness to it with
726
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,000
just a little bit of sweetness
like behind it, but it doesn't
727
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,800
have the kind of tartness that
you normally get with an apple.
728
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:18,400
It's really autumnal for me.
Like I think this would be a
729
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,100
really good whiskey to nose and
to sip like on a fall day.
730
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:26,600
When you're watching Johnny
Utah, play for the Ohio State
731
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,800
Buckeyes.
You know what I mean?
732
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:32,200
Yeah, man, I'm gonna give it an
8 out of 10 on the nose.
733
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,700
Yeah, when I get into the actual
palette this is where I feel
734
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:38,900
like it really started to
struggle for me.
735
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:45,300
I got the Cherry I got a lot of
like grainy corn notes coming
736
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:49,700
through and that was about it.
Once again this came across
737
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:54,600
really hot a lot of ethanol and
kind of young and grainy and
738
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,800
Anna, it's not bad.
Like you can tell that this is a
739
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,000
decent quality whiskey but it
wasn't anything that was
740
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,500
impressing me.
I give it a six.
741
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,300
Six and a half out of 10 on the
taste.
742
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:09,800
Oh I don't like this man.
Oh That was immediately bitter.
743
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:14,000
Like, bitter bitter.
It's over oaked and it's like
744
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,600
the kind of oakiness that we
usually get on the very back,
745
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,300
end of the palette On a Buffalo
Trace product.
746
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:22,200
Except it wasn't, it was present
from the moment, it touched my
747
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,600
tongue.
It is really hot.
748
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,900
It's pretty prickly on the
palate because of the ethanol.
749
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,100
I know, you know what Brad after
we tried the makers Cask
750
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:31,400
strength.
I went out and bought a bottle,
751
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,700
so I just had some of that, a
few weeks ago, that's a very hot
752
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:37,400
whiskey as well.
Like it drinks, like it's on In
753
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,700
15 proof, it makes you know it
leaves its Makers Mark as it
754
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:44,400
goes down your chest too.
So I was expecting this to have
755
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,700
a lot of that heat to it but it
is it's really really hot and
756
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:53,300
it's just an unpleasant amount
of Oak with no sweetness
757
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:57,100
underlying.
It almost almost sour bitterness
758
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,700
to it.
I do not like this, I am going
759
00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:03,700
to, I'm only gonna give it a 5
out of 10 on the palate.
760
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:08,200
Yeah, the finish for me is where
that bitterness This really came
761
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,400
through.
I give it a 5 and a half out of
762
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,700
ten.
It just gets way.
763
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:19,300
Okey, it's still taste young.
There's like corn and a little
764
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:22,400
bit of green apple coming
through at the end Bob.
765
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,600
I'm not impressed with this.
Here's the thing, I don't care
766
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,400
for the flavors.
You can still tell that this is
767
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:34,100
a quality made whiskey.
Like this isn't just some cheap
768
00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:37,100
ten dollar whiskey that you got,
you know, it's not Canadian.
769
00:42:37,300 --> 00:42:41,600
Just so so it has that going for
it, but I just don't care for
770
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,700
what they've created here.
Yeah, you know what man?
771
00:42:44,700 --> 00:42:47,800
Like I don't think that this is,
it doesn't taste young to me.
772
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:52,100
It just, it just tastes like,
really, really bitter Oak.
773
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,500
And that flavor does hang around
on the finish.
774
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:58,900
I will say that the Finish
dissipates nicely and not, it's
775
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:03,700
not a quick dissipation but it
like it's not as concentrated of
776
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:07,000
a bitter sour Oak flavor as it
is on the palette.
777
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,400
And so I think the Finish is a
little bit better just because
778
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,500
it's like a reprieve from the
palette.
779
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,300
I'll give the finish a 6 out of
10 but that's being kind of
780
00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:18,900
generous.
The Finish is good because it's
781
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:20,800
finish because it's not the
bezel it.
782
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,900
Yeah, because it's not there
anymore.
783
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:25,800
When I think about the balance
on this whiskey I don't think
784
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,400
it's balanced.
Well at all the nose promised.
785
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,000
A lot of things that the palette
and the thinnest did not deliver
786
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,100
on.
Once again, I'm just going to
787
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,600
give it, I'll split the
difference and give it a five
788
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,900
point five on the Yeah, I gave
it a 6 on balance.
789
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:43,400
I think it's somewhat consistent
throughout in the flavors, it
790
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,900
presents, but none of them are
that good.
791
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,200
So, you know, like like I'm
trying to recognize the quality
792
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,700
here but also say like, I just
didn't understand what they were
793
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:57,500
going for.
I just took my bath and final
794
00:43:57,500 --> 00:44:01,200
sip of this sample that we got
Brad and like there was some
795
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,000
there's a nice little bit of
like almost like an almond
796
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,800
extract to it.
It was starting to get a little
797
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:07,700
more power.
Palatable.
798
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:10,100
But like I shouldn't have to
take four sips of something for
799
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:13,500
it to be even palatable.
This was a disappointment man.
800
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:17,300
Yeah I was in say usually if
you're new to tasting whiskey,
801
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,500
always reserve your judgment
after the first sip because like
802
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:24,800
a lot of times if you haven't
been drinking anything that
803
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,600
first sip will come across a
little harsh even on an 80. 85
804
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,300
proof whiskey, wait for the
second sip to really start
805
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:34,900
judging the whiskey, but if it
takes you four or five steps to
806
00:44:34,908 --> 00:44:37,100
be like, oh this is kind of
getting decent.
807
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,500
Aunt, it's not a good whiskey.
Like it, it should reveal itself
808
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:45,900
on the second, maybe the third
sip, here's the problem Bob.
809
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:49,600
In general.
I I didn't find a price on this
810
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,200
in the state of Ohio, but in
general, it seems like this
811
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,700
whiskey retails for around 45
dollars.
812
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:00,300
That is you might not have.
This is not a 45 dollar whiskey
813
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:02,200
Bob.
I'm going to punish this even
814
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,100
more harshly than I normally
would because makers, Cask
815
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:08,700
strength is also about $45.
Yep.
816
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:14,700
So you're getting a more
concentrated product and a much,
817
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:18,100
much better product for
essentially domain rice.
818
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,700
Like this is a no-brainer Brad.
This, this is not good.
819
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:24,300
And also, it is the same price
as the one.
820
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:28,200
That is very good.
I'm going to give this a 3 out
821
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,000
of 10 on value.
Look at us, man.
822
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,600
I give it a 3 out of 10 to.
Hey, I love it when we're harsh
823
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,300
together.
Yeah.
824
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,600
It's like we're like our own
buddy.
825
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,300
Cop movie Brad.
This is a very low score and I'm
826
00:45:41,308 --> 00:45:45,400
super bummed because I wanted to
like this makers Cask strength
827
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,500
redeemed this entire brand for
me.
828
00:45:48,700 --> 00:45:50,400
Not that it needed a demon, you
know what I mean?
829
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,000
But like my, my recollection of
regular makers was that it was
830
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,200
not very good and tasted almost
kind of chemically.
831
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,800
Makers 46 was okay but nothing
to write home about and then
832
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,200
that makers Cask strength was
one of the highest-rated
833
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,300
Whiskey's of last season.
Yeah.
834
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,300
This is not going to be a
spoiler alert.
835
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:10,000
One of the highest-rated
Whiskey's of this season.
836
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:12,800
I'm coming out to a 27 and a
half out of 50.
837
00:46:13,500 --> 00:46:15,500
Yeah, you're a half Point lower
than me Bob.
838
00:46:15,500 --> 00:46:17,200
I'm going to 28.
Wow.
839
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:24,600
So we are at a twenty seven
point seven, five or a 55.5 out
840
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,300
of 100.
This is a very low score.
841
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:29,700
I am not going to recommend
buying.
842
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:34,200
I have not going to recommend
trying just do something else
843
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,100
that stamp of disapproval.
Oh man, I'm trying to think of
844
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:41,500
like some fun.
Clever segue back into Point
845
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:44,700
Break, but I can't really think
of any except to say Point Break
846
00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:46,400
deserved a better whiskey than
this Brad.
847
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,900
Yeah, it really did just like
lagavulin 16 deserved a better
848
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:52,000
movie than it.
Got.
849
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,100
All right man.
What do you say?
850
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:57,300
We get back to talking with
Vince and talking about Point
851
00:46:57,300 --> 00:46:58,900
Break.
Let's get to it.
852
00:47:02,500 --> 00:47:04,900
All right, everybody.
That was Makers.
853
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:09,800
Mark 101.
A whiskey that I personally did
854
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,100
not enjoy.
You were not a fan of that one
855
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:14,000
Brad.
No, no bueno.
856
00:47:14,100 --> 00:47:17,100
When do they put that out?
It's only been a couple years.
857
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:23,200
I want to say like 21 years ago,
2018, 2019, because it's usually
858
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,800
like forty three or four.
Like, I feel like there was a
859
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,200
controversy, a few years back
where they, they lowered the
860
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,100
proof by 1% people got pissed
off or something like that.
861
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,400
No, that was like a real.
Yeah, that was a real thing.
862
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,500
They, they dropped and I think
to 80 proof like they're regular
863
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:40,700
Makers, Mark and then people
revolted so much that they were
864
00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:44,500
like, just kidding, it's still
90 proof or whatever and they
865
00:47:44,500 --> 00:47:46,500
didn't do it, but yeah, Yeah.
That was what there that was
866
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:49,100
with their original one and then
they came out with this 101
867
00:47:49,100 --> 00:47:52,500
proofer just a couple years ago
until like makeup.
868
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,000
Yeah.
In fact, we're going to raise it
869
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,500
10%, right?
All right.
870
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:03,000
Well we know that the world has
revolted against Maker's Mark
871
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,700
trying to lower their proof but
we do know for a fact that
872
00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:08,800
Canada has a favorite segment of
our show.
873
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,800
Bob they sure do.
It's the segment that we like to
874
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:19,100
call to facts and a falsehood
Try to stop you ball to all
875
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:21,900
right.
And what is wrong?
876
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:25,600
Two facts, in a faucet to facts
in a falsehood is the part of
877
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,700
the podcast where Brad presents
three items about the making of
878
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:32,000
this movie.
To me all of them presented as
879
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,100
fact, one of, which is a
complete fabrication and lie
880
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,700
that I have to suss out Brad, I
have done.
881
00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:41,900
Absolutely no research on the
making of this movie, actually,
882
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:44,200
where I got a couple Kathryn
Bigelow books out of the
883
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,400
library.
When we first This miniseries.
884
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,700
So I read some stuff about this
movie three weeks ago and
885
00:48:50,700 --> 00:48:54,400
probably forgot it all by now.
So Bob, I feel like the public
886
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,000
library systems should be should
be sponsoring our podcast.
887
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Hey listen, man, way your we do
your shout them out every week.
888
00:49:01,100 --> 00:49:03,200
We're doing a Charlie Chaplin
miniseries.
889
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,400
Starting next week, I have 12
books on hold at the library
890
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,000
about old Charlie right now.
So yeah, of course you do know
891
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,100
what, here's another quick aside
I had to do like a whole search
892
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:18,500
of The public libraries in Ohio
to find three Kathryn Bigelow
893
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:21,300
books.
I've got 12 bucks on Charlie
894
00:49:21,300 --> 00:49:25,100
Chaplin on hold right now at the
library, let that speak for
895
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:28,000
itself even more more, more time
to write about it.
896
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,900
That will go with that.
All right.
897
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,300
Brad, hit me with your two facts
in a falsehood fact.
898
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,300
Number one bra.
Did you know, that Patrick
899
00:49:36,300 --> 00:49:39,300
Swayze was totally rad and took
headers out of sky planes.
900
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:42,700
Like, all the time, hitting us.
Rip, tides, and floating down
901
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:45,400
all nice.
And he did at least 55 times.
902
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:47,000
Times during the shooting of
this movie.
903
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,700
Are you gonna do this whole
thing?
904
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:52,900
And that, that this is a bit
that I do not want to commit to,
905
00:49:52,900 --> 00:49:54,700
I've just got to stir this in
and put this out here.
906
00:49:54,700 --> 00:49:59,100
Right now as a California, I
find this very offensive but
907
00:49:59,100 --> 00:50:01,100
culture is not your costume, but
it's good.
908
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,700
Fact, number two, did you know
that the scene that that coup
909
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:11,500
Keanu Reeves a total Jake and
makes the Nazi Surfer.
910
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:14,800
Take a dive Keanu, nearly met
David Jones himself in the
911
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,900
ensuing fight choking in enough
water to sing a shark.
912
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,200
Wow!
Okay, that number three.
913
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,600
Did you know?
That Kathryn Bigelow was a real
914
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,500
bro.
Looking out for dude Keanu
915
00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:29,200
Reeves and she fought to give
him the role over a bunch of
916
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,000
other guys.
Like Johnny Depp.
917
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:37,900
All right, so to translate this
into The King's English, The
918
00:50:37,900 --> 00:50:41,700
King's English, huh?
It's working on like way way in
919
00:50:41,700 --> 00:50:44,000
the other direction.
Oh, we've got, we've got a king
920
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,100
in England again.
Yeah Queens dead having right
921
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:48,400
now.
Where have you been?
922
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,500
All right, this is Savannah.
Not fax number one, Swayze
923
00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:55,900
jumped out of a plane at least
55 times fact.
924
00:50:55,900 --> 00:50:59,000
Number two.
Yep Keanu, almost drowned fact,
925
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,200
number three, a Bigelow fought
for Kion.
926
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,800
New.
I'm gonna.
927
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,800
So first of all, I'm going to
tap in Vince if I need a phone,
928
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,900
a friend here because this is
like his favorite movie.
929
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:11,000
So I'm going to just assume
Vince.
930
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,600
I think number three is true.
This sounds like something
931
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,100
Bigelow would do and you know,
Keanu had made a few movies
932
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:23,000
before this.
Number one, sounds plausible to
933
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,600
have to agree with that.
Yeah, I'm gonna say Swayze
934
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,000
diving out of a plane sounds
like.
935
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,800
So I just like, Patrick Swayze
and I want to assume that my guy
936
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,700
was was jumping out of planes
but number two also sounds
937
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:38,700
plausible that that Reeves could
have almost drowned because it
938
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:41,800
just it lines up with his
ineptitude in this movie at
939
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,500
being a good FBI agents.
Oh, Man, I don't know.
940
00:51:45,700 --> 00:51:47,900
It seems like the bigger star,
so you have to, you have to
941
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:50,800
weigh this against like would
the with the production?
942
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,200
Let him jump out of an airplane
55 times.
943
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,200
Or would they be like, you know,
would there be an insurance guy
944
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:57,700
there?
Being like you can't do this.
945
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,800
This is true, this weird.
It was in a pre Cruise jumping
946
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,400
out of planes world, so the
insurance may have had more to
947
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,800
say about it at the time.
All right, on on Vince's caveat
948
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:17,100
here, I'm gonna go ahead and say
One is the falsehood Brad Nagi
949
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:21,200
that came really close.
I almost lost Bob but Vince.
950
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,200
Damn good-looking, who iced.
I knew I steered him wrong.
951
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,800
Yeah, good looking out.
Number two, is the falsehood.
952
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,200
Yeah, Vince.
Come on, man.
953
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:34,500
Sorry, I'm sorry.
I mean, I was with you.
954
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:36,700
I think that it was definitely
between the first two because
955
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:39,700
it's like, sure he could have
choked on some water like that.
956
00:52:39,700 --> 00:52:43,100
See, maybe that's why it should
have been the obvious falsehood.
957
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,400
Because it seems to plausible.
So, here's the thing, Gary Busey
958
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:51,200
said that, like, Patrick
literally, was constantly trying
959
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,400
to get him to jump out of a
plane with him.
960
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:56,600
It's just, that sounds like the
best thing in the world Gary
961
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,300
Busey.
Like, not, not like jumping out
962
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:03,100
of the same time but being like
the co do you handle?
963
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:06,700
Yeah.
But apparently, they actually
964
00:53:06,700 --> 00:53:09,900
went skydiving together after
the, the movie was completed.
965
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,400
That's all I could see its.
I wanted to do a caveat for In
966
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,100
correctly, identifying this as
being pre Gary Busey motorcycle
967
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:20,600
accident, that was actually like
three years earlier, I could see
968
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,500
Gary Busey be like, hey man, I
already crushed my skull.
969
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:26,000
Once I don't think I want to
jump out of an airplane.
970
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,300
Maybe not interested.
Yeah, at least until the pay
971
00:53:29,300 --> 00:53:33,700
check clears.
All right, Vince, this is one of
972
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:36,400
your favorite films.
I want to just turn the floor
973
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,800
over to you a little bit here.
When you look at Point Break in
974
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,400
the Canon of awesome action
movies, Like, where is this one
975
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,100
Landing for you.
And why is this one so
976
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,200
significant?
And like, you know, we were
977
00:53:48,207 --> 00:53:50,800
talking a little bit off?
Are you mentioning that you
978
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,900
think this movie actually
started a trend?
979
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,700
So I'm interested to hear more
about like why this one is so
980
00:53:55,700 --> 00:53:58,900
special to you, I do.
I mean, well, first of all if
981
00:53:58,900 --> 00:54:02,000
you've ever seen Hot Fuzz which
I think is an excellent movie,
982
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,600
there's like a very like direct
homage to Point Break where you
983
00:54:06,607 --> 00:54:08,900
know he's looking at he's
watching Point Break and like
984
00:54:08,900 --> 00:54:13,000
the whole third Act of Hot Fuzz
is very clearly like inspired
985
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,600
Bye Point Break, but also, this
is the week, I don't know when
986
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,100
you guys are posting this, but
this is, this is the week of
987
00:54:20,107 --> 00:54:24,900
release of fast 10, the 10th
Fast and the Furious movie.
988
00:54:25,500 --> 00:54:29,800
And so that's clearly like one
of our most influential action
989
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,100
franchises and if you go back
and watch the first Fast and the
990
00:54:33,100 --> 00:54:36,900
Furious movie, it really is
Point Break with cars.
991
00:54:36,900 --> 00:54:39,800
Like it is the exact same
format.
992
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:44,400
The characters are the same.
It's a A cop that's trying to
993
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,500
infiltrate a gang of you know,
cool Street Racers like this
994
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:53,500
movie is clearly very
influential to a lot of the
995
00:54:53,500 --> 00:54:58,000
people making action movies
these days and it's also just
996
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,300
really great.
I think for me that was kind of
997
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:06,500
the takeaway that I had walking
away from Point Break was like
998
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:12,900
this very easily could be like a
seed a C+ movie.
999
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,800
That nobody would ever watch
again.
1000
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,300
That has like a 6.1 on IMDb,
right?
1001
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,300
And yet there's something about
the movie that goes so hard and
1002
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:28,600
feels authentic.
Like, and I think it comes back
1003
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,400
to Patrick Swayze, but I like to
use this word what I'm talking
1004
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,000
about things.
I like a lot.
1005
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:39,200
This movie just feels sincere.
Mmm, like yeah, it feels
1006
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,000
incredibly sincere and Earnest
like it.
1007
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:46,200
Wants you to enjoy the movie.
And I think that that's
1008
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,500
something that a lot of
directors could learn from.
1009
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:51,700
And I think that's where, like,
Bigelow shines the most in this,
1010
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,800
you know, as the Director of
this film.
1011
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,800
Yeah.
I also think like a lot of the
1012
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,900
best action, movies are ones
where the villain is like kind
1013
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:00,700
of, right?
Like the where the villain has
1014
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:06,600
like a very compelling argument
and you know, bodhi's whole
1015
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:11,300
monologue about, you not wanting
to be like these people stuck in
1016
00:56:11,300 --> 00:56:14,800
there, whatever Steel.
You know, there's still coffins
1017
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,300
going to work everyday, like
he's convincing you that the rat
1018
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:21,300
race sucks and he's kind of
right about that.
1019
00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:26,100
And there's also a lot of movies
where, you know, like the cop
1020
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:30,400
procedural format is popular for
a reason because it has like a
1021
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,300
very obvious like beginning and
end.
1022
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:36,100
And you're trying to solve a
mystery, but most of the time
1023
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,500
when they're doing that it ends
up being about how like cops are
1024
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:42,800
cool.
You know, this movie like Keanu
1025
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:48,700
is Is like, he's an FBI agent
and he does his job, but he he
1026
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:53,000
clearly get seduced by some of
bodis ideas and it sort of, and
1027
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:59,000
it makes him treat his job with
the proper amount of distance.
1028
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:03,900
I think like he, he lets in the
end he lets Bodie go and, you
1029
00:57:03,900 --> 00:57:06,100
know, and die on this on this
wave.
1030
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,300
And on his own terms.
Yeah.
1031
00:57:08,900 --> 00:57:10,300
Yeah.
And I think that's like the key
1032
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:11,500
philosophy.
The movie right?
1033
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:14,900
Is that this culture Doesn't
allow people to live life as
1034
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:17,600
they would actually live it, if
they had freedom.
1035
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,900
And you know, Bodie is allowed
to ride off into the sunset, if
1036
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:23,400
you will.
Yeah, they're all searching for
1037
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,300
their little piece of freedom.
And that's sort of, you know,
1038
00:57:26,300 --> 00:57:28,400
Pappas the Gary Busey's
character.
1039
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,100
Like, he sort of represents what
happens.
1040
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:35,700
If you go the other direction
and you sort of become, you come
1041
00:57:35,700 --> 00:57:39,700
become jaded and cynical and and
you find your, you find your
1042
00:57:39,700 --> 00:57:42,700
moments of happiness in like
boy, this Calvin and Hobbes is
1043
00:57:42,700 --> 00:57:44,500
fun.
Yeah, yeah, give me a meatball
1044
00:57:44,500 --> 00:57:46,700
sub.
Yeah, guy can eat that sand out
1045
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:51,300
of a rhinoceros right now.
He's, he's just gorging.
1046
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,800
And he's enjoying stupid things
because that is his only release
1047
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,600
and Keanu has found this whole
other thing that serves him much
1048
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,700
better in that way.
So Brad, I want to go back to
1049
00:58:03,700 --> 00:58:05,400
something.
You were saying a bit ago about
1050
00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:09,200
Kathryn Bigelow's Direction, and
the overall Vibe of this movie
1051
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:12,900
being very sincere and honestly,
kind of sweet.
1052
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,100
For a movie with pretty brutal
violence like it has that sort
1053
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:21,700
of Lethal Weapon, Die Hard style
violence in it, but the heart of
1054
00:58:21,700 --> 00:58:24,600
the movie is a very sincere
beating heart.
1055
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,800
And I think that like, you know,
earlier I was comparing this to
1056
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,000
a Michael Bay movie and I feel
like that's honestly like one of
1057
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,400
the bigger points of Disconnect
between this and a Michael Bay
1058
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,700
movie.
I think based movies are all
1059
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:38,800
incredibly cynical and they
author.
1060
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,700
All kind of mean spirited and I
love Michael like ambulance, one
1061
00:58:42,700 --> 00:58:46,900
of my Favorite theatrical
experiences of the last year, it
1062
00:58:46,900 --> 00:58:50,500
was ridiculous and dumb and fun
and I loved it but it didn't
1063
00:58:50,500 --> 00:58:53,900
have the sort of sincerity and
earnestness that a movie like
1064
00:58:53,900 --> 00:58:55,100
this did.
Yeah.
1065
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:58,200
I've had this theory for a long
time that everyone in a Michael
1066
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,700
Bay movie is either a slut or a
clown like that he divides the
1067
00:59:01,700 --> 00:59:06,100
entire world into like either
you are sexually attractive or
1068
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:10,300
you are like a funny loser and
that sort of like it sort of
1069
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:13,000
holds through like every single
character.
1070
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,600
Dirt a Michael Bay movie, like
you wouldn't really find a Bodhi
1071
00:59:17,900 --> 00:59:22,000
in a Michael Bay movie because
he's yeah, there's like I agree.
1072
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,900
There's like a level of
earnestness that you probably
1073
00:59:25,900 --> 00:59:30,700
don't get in any of those Vince.
That is the most incredible
1074
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:35,800
opening line to a David Fincher,
movie I've ever heard in my
1075
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,300
life.
Everyone in the world is either
1076
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:40,900
a slut.
Iraq loud in the future.
1077
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,800
Alright.
So I've praised Bigelow a little
1078
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,700
bit forgiving this movie, it's
sincerity, but at the same time
1079
00:59:50,700 --> 00:59:56,000
Brad if I'm being frank, I do
think that the Bigelow of 2009
1080
00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:01,000
would have directed this movie
better than the Bigelow of 1991.
1081
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,900
Because you know especially
unlike the opening minutes of
1082
01:00:03,900 --> 01:00:07,900
the movie when they show the
very first bank robbery, there
1083
01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:12,100
is so much like rapid editing
that it gave me Whiplash.
1084
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:15,500
And it was Most incoherent.
And I think that as the movie
1085
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:18,500
goes on, you get used to the
rhythm of the film.
1086
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,000
And so it's not entirely on her.
I think it's on the editing a
1087
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,100
little bit too, but I just one
of the things we love so much,
1088
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:29,600
about The Hurt Locker, was that
even in these kind of big open,
1089
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:35,000
you know, roads and burnt-out
shell doubt, Middle Eastern
1090
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,800
cities.
You always had a sense of
1091
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,700
geography, and I feel like in
this movie, it takes a long time
1092
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:42,900
for Bigelow to kind of
establish, some of those things.
1093
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,700
Yeah, I'm 100% with you.
I think that what you're seeing
1094
01:00:46,700 --> 01:00:51,000
here is a young director who's
like getting her feet under her.
1095
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,300
And I love going back to movies
like this in a director's
1096
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:59,700
catalog because it gives you an
opportunity to see their growth,
1097
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,900
you know, like like we're not
interested in people just being
1098
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,200
the capital O oscar-winning
directors.
1099
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,000
Like I am interested in seeing
them when they're still figuring
1100
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,500
things out.
And so the I think this movie
1101
01:01:11,500 --> 01:01:15,000
stands is a really cool.
Adamant to the talent that she
1102
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,500
already had that, you know,
Hollywood recognized and was
1103
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:22,100
like, Hey like we need to get
this girl behind the camera and
1104
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,400
then that eventually led to her
not just being behind the
1105
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,100
camera, but being up on stage
receiving, an Oscar.
1106
01:01:28,100 --> 01:01:30,800
Well, I mean, In fairness, like
this was her fourth, or fifth
1107
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,700
movie as a director.
She'd been making movies for
1108
01:01:32,700 --> 01:01:34,300
over a decade already at this
point.
1109
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:37,400
So, I, you know, I think in a
lot of ways, this movie is just
1110
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:42,900
kind of Trapped in 1991, and she
was a little bit swayed.
1111
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:46,300
By some of the stylistic choices
that were like, this movie does
1112
01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:47,700
have a lot of Lethal Weapon in
it.
1113
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:49,800
It just really does.
It has a lot of Die Hard in it.
1114
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,400
It's die hard on a beach and in
a lot of ways, I mean you got a
1115
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,700
hot naked woman that throws a
pit bull at you in the middle of
1116
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,600
like a Chase sequence so you
don't really get that anymore.
1117
01:01:59,700 --> 01:02:01,900
That's what we are.
Missing in Hollywood movies
1118
01:02:01,900 --> 01:02:05,600
today.
If I was to say that the early
1119
01:02:05,700 --> 01:02:09,700
the like late 80s, early 90s
nudity, he definitely threw me
1120
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:11,500
for a loop for a second.
I was like, wait, are you
1121
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:16,500
allowed to do that?
Ya know, every every like late
1122
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:21,000
80s to mid 90s action movie,
just had like surprise boobs at
1123
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:28,500
some point size, boobs, Vince.
You need to be on every episode
1124
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:31,800
man.
I mean, remember Demolition Man
1125
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,500
or he's like we're like
Sylvester, Stallone gets like a
1126
01:02:35,500 --> 01:02:38,100
call on the video phone which
was like, you know, that was
1127
01:02:38,100 --> 01:02:39,200
all.
Is the future right?
1128
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,800
A video of right and like his he
just gets a random wrong number
1129
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,200
which apparently is still
somehow still a thing in the the
1130
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,500
video phone future and it seems
like a naked lady.
1131
01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:49,600
Like, I go.
Yeah.
1132
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,000
They're my example, is always
the very first National
1133
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,900
Lampoon's Vacation, where not
only do you get Christie
1134
01:02:55,900 --> 01:02:59,300
Brinkley naked, but then they
have a random shot of Beverly
1135
01:02:59,300 --> 01:03:02,800
D'Angelo in the shower.
Just be a naked for no reason,
1136
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,200
you know, it's the 80s, man.
Everyone has to be naked.
1137
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:08,200
Yeah, you just had to have one
in there.
1138
01:03:08,300 --> 01:03:10,000
Or somewhere.
Otherwise people I have no one's
1139
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,300
gonna see this.
If the people are expecting that
1140
01:03:12,300 --> 01:03:13,900
we can't let him down, all
right?
1141
01:03:13,900 --> 01:03:17,000
I have one more question for you
guys and it's about the very end
1142
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,600
of the movie.
So setting aside the
1143
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,100
preposterousness of the plot
like Keanu Reeves has purposely
1144
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:28,600
allowed Patrick Swayze to to
Globetrotter for a year and so
1145
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,400
that he can, he can catch this
wave in Australia.
1146
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,900
And his plan is basically, to
let him go out on his own terms.
1147
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:38,000
And, you know, all these FBI
guys are like, what the hell did
1148
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,300
you do?
What are you doing here?
1149
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,800
Why are you gonna let him Surf?
And he goes, no one can survive
1150
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,700
that.
And it's this cool way of
1151
01:03:43,700 --> 01:03:45,700
sending off his character and
you think there's going to be
1152
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:49,700
this nice little fade out and
then in true late 80s.
1153
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:53,700
Early 90s brutality fashion like
they cut back that way.
1154
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,800
One more shot of the ocean
crushing Patrick, Swayze to
1155
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:03,000
death, and then they fade out
like just the most unnecessary
1156
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,300
final shot of a movie I've ever
seen.
1157
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,800
I feel like it's completely
Necessary.
1158
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,900
I feel like he let him, I don't
think he let him go to serve to,
1159
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:15,800
like, Globetrotter on purpose.
It was just he he knew that he'd
1160
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:19,100
failed at that point, as an FBI
agent because he couldn't shoot
1161
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:22,700
this guy that he was to
infatuated with.
1162
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,900
So he lets him get away and he's
been kicking himself for it this
1163
01:04:25,900 --> 01:04:28,500
entire time, you know?
And so he goes and finds him on
1164
01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:32,900
the beach and, you know, he lets
them, he lets him surf himself
1165
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:35,800
to death, but he doesn't let him
get away.
1166
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,200
It's sort of sure.
It's sort of finds the middle.
1167
01:04:38,300 --> 01:04:41,500
On there and I think if you
watch like the Fast and the
1168
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:45,600
Furious that is sort of like the
oops all frosting version of
1169
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:49,100
Point Break where like, you
know, like what if the cop just
1170
01:04:49,100 --> 01:04:51,400
went fully native and they
became best buddies and they
1171
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:55,000
started like cool gang together,
like right that, you know, like
1172
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:01,000
this was an effort to give it
some like fatalism and you know
1173
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,500
some reality to it some
consequences.
1174
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:06,700
Yeah, some consequences.
Well, I guess I'm so used to
1175
01:05:06,700 --> 01:05:11,000
like in 2023 Me when everything
is IP driven and everything is
1176
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,900
setting itself up for a sequel.
I just love that.
1177
01:05:13,900 --> 01:05:18,100
Kathryn Bigelow's like know and
also just in case you might be
1178
01:05:18,100 --> 01:05:21,500
expecting a sequel crushed to
death by a wave.
1179
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:24,600
Yeah.
That this is a yeah, but when
1180
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,000
characters are characters, you
know, they can die when their IP
1181
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,600
that's just like flushing your
nft down the toilet.
1182
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,000
Yeah, I'm not gonna can't do
that.
1183
01:05:32,300 --> 01:05:34,200
I was just say, though, if this
is the Fast and the Furious
1184
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,100
franchise, he would come back
somehow.
1185
01:05:37,100 --> 01:05:41,700
He was yes, like Somehow someway
a clone of him, or I like, I
1186
01:05:41,707 --> 01:05:44,500
don't know, somehow, Patrick
Swayze would make it back into
1187
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:46,600
the movies.
And by the way, like, well, you
1188
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,200
know, we talked about Johnny
Utah and that being like, an
1189
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,400
awesomely ridiculous action.
Movie character named, like, the
1190
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,000
reason you have to see the
Remake is they try to explain
1191
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,300
why he's named Johnny Utah,
which is hilarious.
1192
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:02,300
Like Luke bracelet.
He's this like Australian hunk
1193
01:06:02,300 --> 01:06:04,800
plays Johnny Utah.
And at one point, he has like a
1194
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,900
very serious monologue where
he's like, the Utah Ah, it's
1195
01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:11,600
from it's actually native
American from from the Ute
1196
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,400
Indian.
It means it means mountain
1197
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,500
people.
I guess that's why I was so good
1198
01:06:15,500 --> 01:06:24,600
on the, slopes the writing is
impeccable as dumb as you think.
1199
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:28,900
The original Point Break is like
the the sequel just takes it.
1200
01:06:29,100 --> 01:06:32,400
So many levels further also Brad
you know just before we go to
1201
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,900
our final segment of the day I
do have to remind both of us
1202
01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:38,100
that as ridiculous as we think
the name.
1203
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:44,400
I'm Johnny Utah is our given
names are Bob book and Brad G
1204
01:06:44,500 --> 01:06:47,300
like these are these are
fictional names if I've ever
1205
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:50,400
heard that, I don't know what
you're talking about.
1206
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,800
Bob I have the greatest name in
the history of famous.
1207
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,300
All right guys, it is time for
our final segment of the day
1208
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,200
which we call.
Let's make it a double we near
1209
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,300
the end of the episode.
So thanks for listening to the
1210
01:07:04,300 --> 01:07:07,400
film and whiskey show the spare
another film with this one.
1211
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,800
Even if it's struggle, it's a
final segment of the day.
1212
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,200
Now let's make it a double.
Let's make it.
1213
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,900
A double is the part of the
show, where we pick a movie to
1214
01:07:14,900 --> 01:07:19,200
pair up with this one to make
the perfect double feature guys,
1215
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:20,700
I'll just get mine out of the
way real quick.
1216
01:07:20,700 --> 01:07:23,000
I've been talking about these
Michael Bay movies.
1217
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:24,400
I'm going to go with a Michael
Bay knock.
1218
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,800
Off movie, which is 1997's, I
think Con Air, which is a movie
1219
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,300
that is equally as Preposterous
as this and equally as
1220
01:07:33,300 --> 01:07:37,400
incoherent in Parts, both from a
plot standpoint and from a like
1221
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,100
editing standpoint.
And I just think that there is a
1222
01:07:40,100 --> 01:07:45,000
certain level of over-the-top
drug-fueled supporting
1223
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,500
performances that we don't get
any more and when you watch John
1224
01:07:48,500 --> 01:07:52,800
Malkovich and Conair he's like
matching jhansi McGinley beat
1225
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,500
for beat so I'm pairing.
Us up with Conair, have a great
1226
01:07:56,500 --> 01:07:59,000
ridiculous night of things
happening on planes.
1227
01:07:59,900 --> 01:08:02,800
I think, for me, I'm going to go
with the movie.
1228
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,400
I incorrectly said earlier
earlier, I said the other guys,
1229
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,800
but what I meant to say was the
nice guys.
1230
01:08:09,500 --> 01:08:13,200
I think that that is one of the
funniest movies and it has
1231
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:18,100
surprise boobs.
So, it clearly a match for Point
1232
01:08:18,100 --> 01:08:21,500
Break.
I think the nice guys would be a
1233
01:08:21,500 --> 01:08:23,700
great pairing for a really fun
night.
1234
01:08:24,399 --> 01:08:26,500
You said the other guys and I
heard the nice guys.
1235
01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:28,100
Anyway.
Yeah I didn't even know where
1236
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:32,500
did that.
I yeah, yeah I have three
1237
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:35,000
choices and I can't.
I've already mentioned all of
1238
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:36,399
them.
So I probably, you know, I've
1239
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:38,600
already stepped on this.
But, you know, I think the Fast
1240
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,100
and the Furious is Point Break
with cars.
1241
01:08:41,100 --> 01:08:45,300
It's like the same movie.
It has the same DNA of like
1242
01:08:45,500 --> 01:08:49,300
let's capitalize on this cool
subculture by turning it into
1243
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:53,600
like a cops and robbers movie.
Like that would be a great
1244
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,300
double.
Sure, I also think Hot Fuzz just
1245
01:08:56,300 --> 01:08:59,899
because it's, you know, a
heavily references Point Break
1246
01:08:59,899 --> 01:09:04,100
and it's just a really fun movie
and, you know, just in general
1247
01:09:04,100 --> 01:09:05,800
or we're big Edgar Wright fans
on this pain.
1248
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:06,800
Yeah.
Yeah.
1249
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,000
I am too.
And and, and also the Point
1250
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Break remake, which is just
awesomely stupid, and I think
1251
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:19,800
there needs to be a serious
reappraisal of that movie
1252
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:24,100
because it is, it's a fantastic
bad, good.
1253
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,600
Movie.
Alright, so there you have it.
1254
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,700
Vince has given us a quadruple
feature, call off work.
1255
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:32,100
Spend eight hours watching all
these movies.
1256
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:34,000
Yeah, why not?
Let's take a seat.
1257
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,700
Take a Saturday, good work your
way through them.
1258
01:09:36,899 --> 01:09:38,899
All right let's give this movie
some final scores.
1259
01:09:38,899 --> 01:09:40,600
Now Vince is your first time
joining us.
1260
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,200
When we score out a movie, we
give it a score one to ten.
1261
01:09:43,399 --> 01:09:46,899
You can give half Point
increments but nothing more
1262
01:09:46,899 --> 01:09:48,700
granular than that.
We're not going to be giving
1263
01:09:48,700 --> 01:09:51,800
like an IMDb eight point six out
of ten.
1264
01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:55,200
So Brad Why don't you kick us
off?
1265
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,800
What do you give in Point Break?
I think that Point Break is.
1266
01:09:58,900 --> 01:10:04,600
It's truly a really fun little
movie from the 90s that reaches
1267
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,700
higher than its script should
allow it to.
1268
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:13,300
I think that this is like a six
and a half to seven movie that
1269
01:10:13,300 --> 01:10:18,700
somehow just it it moves itself
in a way that I was really
1270
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:22,000
impressed with, I will give it a
seven and a half out of ten.
1271
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,400
I'm gonna go ahead and give it
an 8 out of 10 and it's one of
1272
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:29,900
those eights that's like we've
given Capital oh Oscar winners.
1273
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:33,900
An 8 out of 10 and they are like
they're shooting for something
1274
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:35,500
bigger than what this movie is
shooting.
1275
01:10:35,500 --> 01:10:39,800
For this movie is like almost as
good as a movie like this can be
1276
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:43,400
and I think to your point Brad
you put anybody else in the
1277
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,500
Patrick Swayze roll.
This is like a six-and-a-half
1278
01:10:45,500 --> 01:10:49,500
movie I think Swayze by himself
takes this movie up to being an
1279
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:53,600
8 out of 10 for me.
So Vince I just To see Sylvester
1280
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:58,300
Stallone in that rule, but with
a blond wig though.
1281
01:10:58,300 --> 01:11:01,000
Yes.
But that means we would have
1282
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,100
bearded Stallone back and as we
all know, bearded Stallone is
1283
01:11:05,100 --> 01:11:07,600
the most attractive still of
this is objectively.
1284
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,800
True, it's science.
All right, Vince, what are you
1285
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,400
coming out to on point break?
I can't think of any reason not
1286
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,600
to give it a 10 so I'm going to
have to give it a 10.
1287
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,500
I feel like there's so many
classic action movies from this
1288
01:11:20,500 --> 01:11:23,300
period like Die Hard.
Lethal Weapon.
1289
01:11:23,300 --> 01:11:29,500
Lethal Weapon 2 but I feel like
I would rather watch re-watch
1290
01:11:29,500 --> 01:11:31,500
Point Break than almost any of
them.
1291
01:11:31,500 --> 01:11:35,800
It's just it's it's classic for
being kind of dumb and it's
1292
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,700
classic for, being way better
than it should be.
1293
01:11:39,700 --> 01:11:43,800
It's just yeah, it's just, it's
a ball of fun.
1294
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,600
I love it.
Vince, I have to say you are the
1295
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:52,400
first guest who's ever just like
stuck to his guns.
1296
01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:55,200
Like we've had so many people
come on and be like, yeah,
1297
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,900
absolutely.
Love this movie and and Bob and
1298
01:11:57,900 --> 01:11:59,500
I are like, yeah, sure.
It's like seven f8.
1299
01:11:59,500 --> 01:12:01,800
And they're like, yeah, it's a
eight and a half.
1300
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,900
No, Vince comes in here and he's
like, 10 out of 10.
1301
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,100
I love this movie.
That is the energy we want on
1302
01:12:09,100 --> 01:12:14,600
the film and whiskey podcast.
You know, I bet it's been 27
1303
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,200
years, six years.
Yeah. 27 years or something like
1304
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,500
that since it came out.
And yeah.
1305
01:12:21,300 --> 01:12:24,000
And I still love it.
Like what's it stand?
1306
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,900
This tent is withstood the test
of time and I feel like there's
1307
01:12:26,900 --> 01:12:30,200
no there's no better measure of
quality than that.
1308
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,800
Yeah, 100% man.
All right, as we wind down today
1309
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,900
Vince I want to give you the
opportunity to plug anything
1310
01:12:35,900 --> 01:12:38,100
that you have coming up.
Tell us a little bit about your
1311
01:12:38,100 --> 01:12:39,600
sub stack and where we can find
you.
1312
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:44,100
You can find my sub stack at
Vince Mancini, dotsub stack.com.
1313
01:12:44,100 --> 01:12:48,500
Like I said, I asked an AI to
write a scene from That's Amore
1314
01:12:48,500 --> 01:12:51,000
and I think it think they did a
superb job.
1315
01:12:51,100 --> 01:12:56,000
But I also have a couple of
podcasts pod yourself a gun, was
1316
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:01,000
our podcast about The Sopranos.
We Go episode by episode and
1317
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,900
talk about each of them with you
know a celebrity guest.
1318
01:13:04,100 --> 01:13:10,500
And we finished all of The
Sopranos and we are doing a
1319
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,700
sequel, second season of that,
which is called pod yourself the
1320
01:13:14,700 --> 01:13:18,000
wire on the same feed.
Yeah.
1321
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,900
So go check those out Vince.
It has been an Pleasure having
1322
01:13:21,900 --> 01:13:23,200
you.
You know, we've had a ton of
1323
01:13:23,208 --> 01:13:25,900
guests on this podcast.
It's pretty rare that somebody
1324
01:13:25,900 --> 01:13:28,700
comes on and just like
immediately gets the vibe of the
1325
01:13:28,700 --> 01:13:33,200
show like team wouldn't it like
truly seamless we had to take a
1326
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,100
break about 10 minutes into
recording folks.
1327
01:13:35,300 --> 01:13:38,900
So Vince could in his words pull
some peel off off of the stove
1328
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:46,600
which is about to do it and
insanely specific request but as
1329
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,900
he was getting his pilaf, I just
Brad and I were just like man,
1330
01:13:49,900 --> 01:13:53,600
this guy fits right in In the so
like usually thank you so much
1331
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,100
for bringing the Vibes to filmin
Whiskey today, man.
1332
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,100
Oh, thank you for having me.
I had a great time.
1333
01:13:59,100 --> 01:14:01,100
All right.
We will be back next week as we
1334
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:06,000
transition out of Kathryn
Bigelow and into the early 1930s
1335
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,600
to do.
Our first series of at least,
1336
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,700
some of them are silent films.
We're going to be looking at the
1337
01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:16,800
films of Charlie Chaplin Brad
with 1931 s City Lights which is
1338
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,100
regarded as perhaps chaplains,
Masterpiece.
1339
01:14:19,300 --> 01:14:20,700
Join us for that one.
It's gonna be really
1340
01:14:20,700 --> 01:14:22,200
interesting.
Going to dive into a silent
1341
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,600
movie and so we'll see you next
week for that.
1342
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:28,100
But until then, I'm Bob book,
I'm Reggie, and I'm Vincent
1343
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:31,000
Mancini, and we'll see you next
time.
