Speaker 3 (00:23):
And this week we're talking about last man Standing. Bruce Willis.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Bruce Willis.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, I uh, it's it's fun.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I enjoyed the watching, like watching these movies again, Like
I mean, some of them haven't seen a lot of
them have, but I like it's definitely a different perspective
whenever some of these movies, you know, I haven't seen
for twenty literally twenty years when they came here, when
they came out in the nineties, over twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Years, right, Yeah, this was a nineteen ninety six, yeah,
I think. And oh and because we just talked about
the Crow, and the one bad guy in the movie
was in the Crow, so it's like we had a
little six degrees of the Crow.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
David Patrick Kelly pretty sure. He played Doyle O. T.
Bird trying to go through my head, which one ye
and I knew how to be doing up, which has
been great if he would have used that line and
this too, it's funny like, uh, you know, I had
to I watched this last night. It did go off
with Tube, but then I went on to Paramount Plus,
(01:26):
which I happen to have, and it said like newly added,
like yeah, because you.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Because you just bucked the rights fuckers.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It was like every time we pick a movie on
twob seven days later it's gone, but now I gotta
start checking Paramount plus to see if they're getting it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But I can tell you I wasn't excited to watch
this movie. Oh yeah, yeah, I was just like, I
don't know. I had to suppression. I was trying to
recall seen this slong go like I'll watch it, but
I might watch it like two times of Speed. I
wasn't excited. Uh, and I'm glad, I, you know, grabbed
(02:03):
a liquid death, sat down and watched it because it
was really I thought it was really good. Yeah. For
some reason, I don't know, man, for some reason, I
was thinking it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Was not good yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Then watching it, it's it's like a western. Then nice
saw it was based off of yeah Kirosalah movie yo Jimbo.
I was like, okay and nice, I'm seeing this, and
I just started liking even more and more.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Well, there's I'm pretty sure there was a Clint Eastwood
that was called Last Man Standing, same type of premise,
but it was just Clint Eastwood and another Western type situation,
or maybe that was the name of it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
The movie was called A Fist full of Dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
There you go. Yep, that's one, and.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I guess they're both retellings of Yo Jimbo. Okay, and
I think the director of this movie said, it's not
a remake of that, it's more of a.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Reimagining. Reimagining. Yeah, yeah, that's it was. It was odd.
H It was fun because it was also kind of
filmed in that like old old gangster time, like you know,
old gangster noir type filming.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We had a lot of Bruce look, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The Bruce uh Bruce voiceovers. Yeah again, you keep picking
movies that are like Newir.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I didn't intend to, but I kind of forgot. That's
kind of how stout. I remembered it being more like
the gangster type, which funny.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But yeah, it was like set in the nineteen twenties. Right, Yeah,
I couldn't tell. Okay, see I was looking, I said,
in nineteen twenties prohibition. So yeah, nineteen thirty, twentyth arning prohibition.
Two gangs in this little town in Jericho, Texas. Because
I guess they were bootlegging down there. I'm assuming making
(03:51):
the booze, yeah, and sending it back up to Chicago
and New York.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And uh again, it's just small little western towns it is.
It's a Western, straight up a Western. But it's a
gangster movie.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But and I was just trying to figure out, like
just looking like with the cars, indoor plumbing, I'm like,
there's all stuff you'd have in this little dust bowl
we get Texas. That's what cracked me up was you
could see like the town was just it was almost
must It gave the impression of like it was a
boom town. And then by this point everybody had just
left because the population sign had like twelve thousand or
(04:28):
something like that. Our twelve hundred, and that was scratched
off and it said like fifty seven, and that was
being generous. Like the only people really was the gangsters. Yeah,
probably some prostitutes, the sheriff, the gas station at ten
gas station, the bartender, yeah, and Joe.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The bartender bar owner.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I guess, but yeah, Like that's it cracked me up
because I'm sitting there watching this and I didn't pick
up like they were running the booze to Chicago because
I'm sitting there going, these two gangs are in this town,
why where's the money coming from?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Like, where's like, where's the money? Where's the enjoyability be
in this town? At one point, Joe says, oh, He's like, oh,
you have electricity. He's like, yeah, we have guest generators.
Hopefully the don't break down because no one's left to
fix them. I'm like, and these generators must have been
twenty four to seven and it must have been huge
because but also, if.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You have two gangs in town, did you think they'd
be shooting each other all the time?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well yeah, I mean yeah, when you're the only two
people like that. Well, they said at the beginning they
had a truce, they had a temporary truce, and then
John shows up, John Smith. Yeah, Bruce Willis shows up
and he's hired by the one gang.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Right, it's hard to tell, but yeah, he's like, uh,
he's a freelancer.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well right, that's where he like, you don't really know
his backstory. He tried, They tried to give the impression
like he's a big shot from a big time gang,
like he's a hired gun type guy. But you never
really know because he keeps talking down while in the
voiceovers about these like small time you know, petty thiefs
like that want to play big.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But yeah, maybe wait, he got hired by one, but
he wasn't sent there for any reason. He was on
his way to Mexico, right, Yeah, and I think his
voiceover probably shouldn't have stopped.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Here, yeah, because he because he looked at the girl
one guy's girl too long, so they like beat the
shit out of his car, right, They really flew off
the handle for him giving a side glance to a
big boss's side piece.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, but I would give the same side glance number one.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
When you're waiting for somebody to you know.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Take their sweet ass time crossing the stop for him,
you kind of look so you make sure, okay, they're
a crossed you know, I'm gonna go. Yeah, But that
was that was just to set up the interactions because
that guy who was leading that little group there came
over and beat the shit out of his car and everything.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's the guy.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
He just went, well, I'm gonna go pay him, found
out situation from Joe and then paid him a visit
immediately killed him.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, and and one of those great scenes where.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The gunshots were just super exaggerated where people were getting
hit by bullets and like flying twenty feet backward if
not further.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
He was insane. They had a kick. Well you can
tell that they were being yanked by wires. Oh yeah,
but it was pretty cool. I guess you can tell that.
It's like, this is not meant to be real, right or.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Not? Like a biopic. Don't know the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
This is insationalism, over the top fantasy. But it's set
in this time period. Because he also had guns that
sometimes unlimited, sometimes he had to reload them. He really
was just depending on his mood. Oh yeah, I was
sitting there watching that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was sitting saying that the same thing, Like he's
he unloads at least because everything he's doing as double pistols,
double pistol on all the time, and he unloads at
least twelve shots into that dude. That beat his car
up and then turns around where all the other guys
are sitting like in this poker room or whatever, and
just I'm loading right so many like another thirty shots,
(08:03):
it seemed like, and like didn't unload once and you know,
put a new clip in this constantly.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And also I felt like was it a bit overkill?
Like he was unloading know clips in like one person.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm like, there's like five other dudes.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You sure you does each body need twelve to fifteen bullets?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
There's double tapping, but this seems excessive, right, Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Plus he had the the super ballistic bullets that would
knock you off your feet, right yeah, I mean, And
that's the part I loved is, uh he shot I
forget the guy's name whatever, he shot him first, knocks
him into the street with his bullets, turns around like
just a hail of bullets into this other room.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Not a single person touched.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Like I was like, you hit all twelve in the
in the uh in the red on that guy and
not a single guy gets hit as you unloaded the
rest of that clip into that room.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Maybe on purpose because he ends up getting a job.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He's that good. Yeah, Well he gets how many gets.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Never thought about that?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Do you think he did? Like I'm that good? Yeah,
I guess everybody could have.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I could have wiped out your hole.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I was confused because he did get hired, but then
he just kept getting money back and forth, giving information,
paying for information. Yeah, I guess he's just decided to
h He's pissed, right, he directed his cars like got it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
He says that at one point, like he's he recognizes
these guys are small fish and if he plays you know,
if he plays his cards right, he could end up
with a little bit of coin before he goes to Mexico.
I mean, he was doing well there for a minute,
but even whenever it was whenever the at one point,
the ranger comes to town and I was like, that's
where you go, Like, okay, I'm all right, I played
(09:49):
a little close to the bone. Let's let's head out.
Let's get to finish our trip to Mexico and be
done here. We made a few grand and let's move on.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, he was so caught up in that. But yeah,
I don't know why he didn't take the money and
run right. Well, I guess he wanted to the girl
and to freedom. Back in Mexico because the one Doyle,
the one leader of the other gangsters.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, Strasi cut the girl's ear off.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I forget what point, but that was like the one
thing that drew drew him back in was she he
beats it at her and cut her ear off, so
he gave her bus fare to get back to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But then the the girl that had a daughter still
in Mexico that Doyle right basically kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It was wet. He want her in a card game.
Wanted a card game.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Because he had so he was like, he was doing
all the right things, right, that's he was helping out. Yeah,
the prostitute that they kept beating on the girl, he
wanted a card game. He is going to try to
help her get to freedom. He was doing everything except uh,
you know, stuff for himself.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well that was that was kind of the only real
problem I had. But the movie was at one point
he he finds the Indian lady in the church praying
and they talking and she's like, you know me, like
not seeing my kid and everything, you.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Know, Oh, it's it's just it's my curse. What's yours?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And he's like, I don't have a conscience and then
proceeds to immediately get a conscience. Right, that's like and
and what bothered me, Like, so he doesn't have a
conscience because he's playing, you know, he's playing. He doesn't
care who dies, shooting people up and right, doesn't care
about anything, just getting his money. And then all of
a sudden gets a conscience freeze both let women, but
(11:33):
then sticks around like that's the part that got me too, well,
even the voice, I probably shouldn't have stuck around, right, like
something like that you get out, get out of dodge,
as they say.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, so you know that was that was the big
big fuck up there at that one point where he
does he gets both women away from each gang leader
and then just hangs around because it's like, I guess
he made up his mind he wanted to kill him
both or was he just trying to squeeze out another
couple bucks or.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You know, I can never figure out if it was
about ye wait, but he did he managed through working
both sides, feeding some information to the sheriff that was bullshit,
managed to get both sides that basically kill each other. Yeah,
I mean he did a lot of killing. But then
he would always blame it on the other gang, right,
and they would instantly just fall for it.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Except Christopher Walking. What was his character's name, I forget,
oh Hickey Hickey. Yeah, except Christopher Walkin's character. He was
the why, the street wise gangster. He looked like he
maybe he was the one guy who could hang with
the guys in Chicago, you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Know, right, he had a big scar down the side
of his face and across his neck. Yeah, why he's
Christopher Walking.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
That crack me up that they said, like, you know,
he talks weird because he was like this and didn't
and he's just the most torrible person. And and I'm like,
he didn't really talk any different than normally.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
He just talked like Christopher Walking maybe the drudge, just like, hey,
write something in because he talks really.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, these guys they don't understanding Room saying that was.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
More than John Travolta did John Travolta doing.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Walking Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So yeah, I mean I enjoyed it. It was a
good time like that.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
There was so much playing back and forth to the
point where so that was one of the things I realized,
like watching it first, I always loved Bruce Willison movies.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So I remember the first time.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I watched If you love Bruce Willison movies, you get
to see his butt in this.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But that was like they rewatching it. I feel like
they did a did a great job of making you
not like him for a while while. Like the first time.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
The first time I watched it, I was just I
was just loving it because it's watching it. But this
time I was watching a little differently. And when he
kept playing back and forth, I was like, Yeah, they're
trying to make you one be like fuck this guy,
and they did, but I was.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Like, yeah, what the fuck did get your money and go?
Stop being stupid?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, even when the uh so they have this big
what you call it a heist, I guess it was
a heist, but uh the one gang was bringing booze
up from Mexico. Yeah, Doyle, Doyle and trucks. I guess
I must. They must have been distilling down there, yeah,
stopping brewing beard, stealing something and they're coming up and
(14:29):
they you said, Bruce Willis stand in the middle of
road of the truck stop.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
The Mexican police get out ended up shooting the other
gangsters and give it. So they had to deal with
the other. Again, I didn't know that there was no
setup that he worked. They worked out. I thought they
were gonna just hit the caravan, right, but they already
had a deal with the Mexican police. And Yeah, there's
(14:57):
stuff that I'm missing with the Maybe I wasn't listening
to the voiceover properly.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, we have Mamiroz was the uh they didn't hint
the tip it off before that, but he was the
He was kind of like the John Smith in Mexico,
like I'm just going to the highest bidder man, I
don't give a shit, Like whoever pays me the most
money is who I'm oyal to.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Was that the border uh border police guy? Yeah, they
like thet shot by Hickey.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, the army guy like the then the brown.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It was actually borders patrol Okay, yeah or whatever it
was called in nineteen twenty Texas. But yeah, he when
Smith went down, he was there kicking it with everybody
that helped, you know, kill that one gang. No was
(15:45):
Smith went down when Hickey went down to find out
what happened, because they want their trucks back, right because
also apparently that was huge get not just the booze
getting trucks in this era era, it was like a
pretty big deal. You can haul more booze back to
Chicago if you had trucks.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well, yeah, that was That was another one. That thing
that uh Smith Tip tipped off Doyle's gang, Like, hey, Georgia's.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Down hanging with your boy Ramirez, the one that you know,
the one that double crossed you. Maybe you should go
find him, give me, give me a grand and for
that information.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And when he goes down that he has like this
Tommy oh yeah, and he's wildly just shooting it. It's
it's crazy. I'm like, he's supposed to be like good.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He's like the guy off i mean off the Home
Alone movies and in the video he's always watches I'm going.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
To give you a ten to get your low down, keister. Yeah,
he's just spraying with that pray and everything, but kind
of accurate.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Only the people he wanted to kill got killed with it.
Uh and then the the the Texas border security dude, Uh,
he's alive. Yes, he didn't want to hit him with
that spray. But he does this whole thing where he
terry he actually he's gonna let him go and he
(17:08):
turns around like you look like the kind of guy
that might shoot a man in the back, Like I'm see.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
What's gonna happen here?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
He does, and the cop dude tries to shoot him,
but he spins around and gets him, which they use
at the end of the movie. Right, I figured, like, oh,
that's going to come into play because all this talk
about Hickey being a badass, he did shit. I really
thought Christopher Walken's character is completely underused.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Right yeah, for for the uh, for the Mountain, they
made him out to be, you know, like this, like
I said, like I said, he seemed like he was
like the one guy who can hang with the big
boys and show like him and John Smith could be
in a Chicago gang where these guys were basically just
booze runners for the big gangs, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, yeah, and when you get sent to Texas, you're
not one of the big dogs in Chicago, New York.
Yeah no, no, no, But down there they were acting
like they were big shots, right, oh, yeah, they were nothing. Right,
It's easy to splash.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Money in a town where there's four other people living there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But also the nineteen twenties, like John wanted a thousand
dollars advance and they gave it to him. I'm like, yeah,
that's gotta be like some people's yearly salary.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I thought that too.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
They threw the they threw the thousand around pretty pretty broadly.
You know, there was a lot of times where a
thousand dollars for this, five hundred for that, Like that's
a lot of fucking money back in the day. Like,
I mean, it's not much now for for like a
mobster move now or anything said, but to the average jone,
a thousand bucks isn't chump changed.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Right even today. Gave me a thousand bucks, I'm like, hell, yeah,
thanks just for a tip, like just for a tip
off on something. I think the gas station guy, the mechanic,
he probably made the most money, it had the less
the least chance of getting shot because he was just
fixing fixing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Cars, right, yeah, fixing guy. He is the only only
place to get gas.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Even though he's he was out of there. Oh yeah, yep,
he was headed out. He's like, you're going to fix
your own damn car. I'm out of here.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, they had because at that point.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
The town was garbage. Yeah, literally, everyone was leaving the
sheriff was getting ready to leave. He'd like, the mechanic
guy was leaving the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The undertaker was leaving.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah, there's nobody. There's nobody left to kill. This one
gang left with three guys.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know, I'm surprised that the you know, they didn't
try to create a thriving little community, right, you know,
for appearances.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
And you take well, you think, yeah, you splashed that
money around the people, so you're the kingpins. People love
you and everything because you're making plenty of running your booze.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But no, yeah, it was just scare people off.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, you know, thinking about this, it's just it's just
you and your gang members. You there's no other cool
people to talk to. You ran most of the normal
people out of town. There's only two ladies and there's
only two.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, maybe they must say, well, the one whore they
locked up at one point, Leslie man, the ad the
cameo was the whore man. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That wouldn't be too much fun. And I imagine if
you find out that, you know, Giovanni got crabs, you're like, fuck,
we all have it now because there was only two
prostitutes in town.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Fucking Giovanni down there in Mexico, horn around some a bitch.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah you think they want to Let's let's make the
town five just in case we don't feel like going
back to Chicago. We built something awesome here. Nope, Nope,
that's why they sent They sent the yeah, the dumbest
gang members, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Send the hangers on down the area.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
All is you have to do is get the booze
shipped up to us. Yea and yeah, and then the
whole movie that's trying not to get killed. That's the
only real action they had gone on was like one
load of booze was coming through where these guys acted
like they were kings. But they had one day that
was the only action in the whole movie was one
load of booze. They had no other action going over
(20:59):
there make any money because I said, because the town's dead,
there's no one to make money on.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So so even they should be like, we're kind of
chump change.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I don't know how they got anything shipped in and out,
Like his car got fixed with like a headlight, yeah,
windshield and everything, And I was like, how do you
even get it right? There's no Amazon in that ship.
In two days do a little po dunk town in Texas.
That would have been like, I feel like a month
just to get that stuff shipped in. Well, I guess, Okay,
so the nineteen twenties, all the cars might have been
(21:28):
the same standard model teeth prettyish, so one headlight is
gonna fit on everyone, and the windshield was just to
play the glass. It's kind of like, you know, I
guess he was like, I was gonna take a while
to get that windshield, and I'm like, really, what got me.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Was like you say about the windshield was Doyle was
driving around a lot and like a convertible, but this
town was like a dust bowl. I was like, who's
driving around of the cattle with the convertible in this town?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Because it looks like the worst thing you could want
to do.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, you would just be eating heat wearing you need
something of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Like.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So there's a scene where Bruce Willis is again all
this ship goes down. He decides when he gets back
in town, like we can talk about that, but I'm
gonna jump to this quick because I found a fact.
So he he does help the one, uh, the one
get over to Mexico hopefully to get back to find
her daughter Doyle's girl or toyles. Yeah, acquired property from
(22:27):
a card game. Again, they give the impression they must
have really liked her.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
It was weird.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Oh yeah, he was obsessed with He was obsessed. But
he kills a bunch of people that were holding her.
When Hickey and Doyle show up, he says the other
gang hirs some new people from East Mount East and
so these let him go. He goes back in town
(22:53):
and de signs to uh get take a fool on bath.
So he's relaxing drinking beer in the tub and you
could see the pipes coming up to the hot and
cold faucets. So I was like, really running water, oh yeah,
or indoor plumbing. So I looked it up. So it
(23:14):
says here like only one percent of homes in the
United States had both indoor plumbing and electricity. So I'm like,
in this dust ball that they really did someone splurge. Yeah,
I think because you know, you watch Westerns all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
No, no, you don't.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I don't know. I say like that, I've seen Westerns
in my life, right and they always have to boil
water and then they dump it in the tub. Right now,
that could have been like eighteen hundreds. No, I just
there's some things that just stand out to you, like
he really, is there indoor plumbing at this place that
has to have a generator for electricity?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I love the towels. That's how they explained it away,
was the generators. But the opening scene as he's driving
into Jericho, when you see the sign airring, there's electric
wires coming into the town, right.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But I saw that to it, I was like wait,
I thought, yeah, I mean generator. Where was it?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do you have the generator out of town to generate?
Is actually do that thirty miles that way? It's a
pretty big generator. But they had a lot of money,
so maybe they were the one percent to have indoor splashing?
Was it was it at Joe's place.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Or was it at the I think Joe his at
Joe's place.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I think worse of the prostitutes were too, right, show
had it going on.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, yeah, he's a full service bar to serve what
three people, the one deputy deputy and Joe and the whore.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That's see any people that steps foot in that place.
He had business is booming.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I didn't really see any money transactions. I saw a
lot of booze drinking.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
He just gave.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
At one point, he gave Joe like a handful of money,
said this runs out, tell me I'll give you more.
And Joe's like, holy shit, which again he whirls into
town saying how broke he is like handed out a
couple of wads of cash immediately, and then at the
end he's like, and I'm leaving just as broke as
when I got here. I'm like, you've got multiple wads
of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That's what he Yeah, that was like one of his
last things.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He said.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm like, bullshit, did you give it all to the
girls to help them get out? Because he made a
boatload of money. Yeah, and come on, oh no, I
guess they would realize, even the people he killed at
that one cabin, like why don't you just you know,
check their pockets take the money. But I guess the
(25:33):
other bad guys were like, uh, they are our boys.
Not only been murdred, they've been looted. I think John
Smith is lying.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I think he's lying. Yeah, it's D and D thing.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You know, when you beat the bad guys, you loot.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Oh yeah, of course, most most actually, maybe they have.
Maybe they have a magic weapon on I don't know
he's got a magic weapon on him.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh he had a magic weapon. Wait, you're not talking
about his penis. You're talking about his horse. He did
he I thought I found something somebody referring to the weapons.
So he carries two cold forty five's that holds seven
plus one rounds or fourteen plus two Smith fires way more.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bullets than that.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, we know, I mean there is that one. Like
should we take a break is at time?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah? Why not? Cool?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
We'll be right back with more about Bruce Willis in the.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Bathtum, We're back, and we're back. I kept this watch
on my ad.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Dad gave me his best possession.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
We should stop doing impressions. One day I'll get walking
the impression.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
That's my goal, working at it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Two hours a day, seven news week, no, two minutes
every month, two minutes the other week on a podcast. Yeah,
Bruce Willis, John Smith. I love how some people are
definitely harshened on when you look at the mistakes people
on imdbit really putting in like bullets don't make you
(27:14):
fly thirty feet, you know, I feel like most people
do understand that, right. It's kind of one of those
things like where I was trying to say, the movie
isn't The movie's not trying to be realistic. It's fantasy.
And in this weird Texan town where two gangs live
(27:35):
basically side by side each other across the street, you know,
running booze all the way from the text from tech
Now again in prohibition, there was a lot easier ways
to make booze and get it to your local speak
easy then brewing down in Texas. Yeah, because again in Mexico,
driving from Texas all the way back up to Chicago
(27:56):
and like one of those model t's, Dude, how long
had that got to take?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, days and days and days and days if you're
like warm, right, And they didn't have like quality shock
absorbers and cars back then. So how many bottles were
being broken on the ship roads coming out of Texas
or even maybe the whole way to Chicago. I don't
have nineteen twenties dirt roads. Yeah, I imagine you hit
(28:24):
a bump, there's like crates of you know, vodka just
flying out.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
The back.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Would be it'd be deadly. Was easier just to you know,
find a warehouse, pay off a few coppers and just
brew right there in Chicago, find a bathtub and make it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
So if you were trying to distill back in nineteen
twenty Bootleg and in a big city like Chicago, how
much space would you need?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I mean, you.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Wouldn't need a big space to distill, like I don't.
I mean, I don't think they were even worried about
quality as much too. It was just gets you drunk shit. Yeah,
so you mean like literally, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Bathtub.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
It is called bathtub gin right. I don't think they're
really joking too much about that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I mean when you look at look at all the moonshiners,
just like they had a little little cabin in the woods.
You know, it wasn't like it wasn't like you needed
a big operation.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
If you had the mcguiver, Still, could you create a
still in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah, I'm sure. Okay, I have faith in myself. I'd
like to get fucked up. I'd find a way as.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Right, Like if the world something happened and all the
power the power grids went down, Yeah, would we still
be able to make booze?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah? I mean booze.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
There's a massive e MP electricity cell out everything. We're
shoved back to the dark ages, but we still wanted
to sit around the campfire and drink beer.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
As they say in Jurassic World, life finds away. He's
something to get a fire going. All you need is,
you know, get yourself a enclosed metal, you know, container
and put it on the fire and you know, get
your cold run through it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You'd be good to go.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Hell yeah, figure it out now, you know. Man, We'll
find a way to make a booze. And if you
can't figure it out, then you go to find a
plant to eat that does the same.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I figured like if the if the grid dig go down,
we had no electricity everything, and it was apocalyptic time.
There's still a lot of whiskey somewhere being aged, right yeah,
in barrels that we could just stop worrying about the
aging process and crack them open, right and rick houses
is to start looting rick houses for fifty five hours
barrels and this is turned into like a Mad Max episode.
(30:56):
We're not going there.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
We're not worried about the fuel. We're worried about the booze.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But to summarize, they didn't need to go the whole
way down to Mexico to to bootleg, right. I guess
there was a way to, you know, they never explained it,
come to think of it, because Chicago, New York, they
were doing a ship ton of it. Why would you
need a plant in Texas?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, I mean that town was a ghost town and
the sheriff was on the take.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
So and we got there it was being made over
the border.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Oh, because well, okay, Mexico didn't have any there was
no prohbibi mexicore. Yeah, they could never make an air
tequila whatever they felt like. Yeah, so we were just
paying the money. Hey, it makes them more still not necessary, No,
it's yeah, it's a but we wouldn't have a movie.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
It's a plot.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
We didn't have two gangs bootlegging in.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Texas, right, because, like I said, that, whenever they were
trying to figure out what to give these guys to
do down there, that's the only thing they could do
because everything else that, like I said, that was the
only action they had gone on was one of them
boot like one thing during the entire time in like
a week or two that he was there.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, he's you know, it is a little odd. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I do like the fact that it was a Western Yeah,
it made it a little bit different than just being
set in the nineteen twenties, the Roaring twenties in Chicago.
It had like a it just gave it a whole
different It was kind of an element that made it.
I don't know, I think far more interesting if it
was just another nineteen twenties gangster move.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
It's kind of an awkward hybrid and so that way.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
That way, instead of walking with rifles down the street,
you got to like you got guns and Tommy guns
and double pistols.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Oh, rather than everybody being like in cowboy hats and
dusters and boots, they were dressed up to the nines
like they were in Chicago or New.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
York, right, I mean, yeah, they costumed up to play
the part, for sure. Yeah, But also I'm like, uh,
it's Texas, it's dust.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I think the last thing I want to do is
be in a full suit down to like someone had
like vests, oh yeah, jacket, Like dude, you you guys
are just dripping right multiple sweat right multiple times in
the movie.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Whether it was like he was meant to or not.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Brussels was wiping sweat off of his head and face
and everything because like it looked hot whenever filming weather.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It was or I looked hot.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, non practical, No, No, I mean, I imagine Texas
can get cold, you nineteen twenties Texas was the was
the weather different whether it has a has a way
of changing.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Right, Yeah, I imagine Texas was always pretty hot.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
It looks like it's always. I don't know, if you know,
you could I'm not gonna look it up. You could
tell us to send us an email at swol send
him at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I don't know. It's snowed in Texas a couple of
years ago and shut the state down. So he stayed apparently, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
The nineteen Now I gotta look get out, No, you
should keep vamping.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, well here we go.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
But yeah, like the other part, so we got to
that kind of mentioned a little bit about that part
where he goes to the place where they're they're holding
the girl, holding Doyle's girl to keep her safe because
they already captured her once, which they didn't never really say,
but I assumed that STRASEI was able to get that
Indian girl because John Smith knew she prayed at that
(34:28):
church by herself. Like, I don't think anybody else really
knew that, So I assume he set that up, but
they didn't really say it. I don't know if it
got cut, but that just could have been another one
of his like, you know, playing the play on the
other side to make the negotiation whatever. But yeah, so
he gets that part And the part that cracked me
up about that scene was he stayed there all night,
(34:51):
which even I said, like what the Like, you don't
stay there, you drive back into town and say all
the boys are dead and the girl's gone.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
You don't say there.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
That's immediate, you know, suspicion on you for just hanging
out there and not doing anything. He said, like, oh,
waited in case she ran back, Like we all know
no one's running back to the scene.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
That's dumb.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
But then Christopher Walking picks up the picks up the
one guy's gun and goes, this one was never fired.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
And then immediately it's like call Johnson's right, He picks
it up, he smells it, looks.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
At all the bullets. This one was never fired. I'm like,
well that happens, you know, like right.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, I did find some details on the twenties weather
in Texas. Yeah, nineteen twenty Austin weather extremes. So the
highest they had at least to this report, so one
hundred degrees July sixteenth and their lowest twenty three degrees
fahrenheit in December twenty eighth.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Is there no Jericho, Texas coming out? Look?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
A highest daily I know is Jericho. Their highest daily
was seventy seven degrees.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Around July.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
So even that so if the highest daily was seventy seven,
full on suit, still be hot, Yeah, still be hot
because there was no shade there.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
It's just the town in the middle of the open.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Most daily precipitation three inches. It must have been when
they filmed, because they had two days in the ten
days or whatever. John was there with torrential downpours.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Oh yeah, I forgot. Well, there you go. That was
at the end. I thought, Yeah, I forgot about the
r I.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Do think it's a little hotter in Texas daily in July. Now,
but there you go. Now, you know, everybody learns something
every day. And then now I look at some more charts. No,
it was normal Texas weather. Yeah, were in a full
suit it was not practical. It's funny. I when to
(36:47):
move to Austin, Texas. At one time it's I'll be good, well,
I hate snow, okay, And then when they had all
that ice and snow, and I guess there's just no
getting away from it, right, maybe Hawaii, I was like,
I guess, Pennsylvania, we know how to deal with it
at least, right, we can sort of drive in it. Well,
(37:09):
last year barely snowed here. I think you're good now, hey, hey,
but this year could don't don't jinx it. This year
could be bad. I don't nestily well, I hate shoving snow. Yeah,
but if you got to go anywhere, like, it's not me,
I can drive in snow, right, it's the rest of
the rest of the population can't.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
It's the other people I worry about. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
I've seen people driving the snow and still on their phone,
like I don't. I don't understand anyway, But that's not
the podcast you're listening to. But you still might feel me.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
You you know you've seen it come back later for
the man yells at Cloud podcast, angry old guy bitching
about it.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
But yeah, so yeah, that was like that was the
beginning of the end for John Smith when they he
went there, because like you said, he went.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Back, he got into it, which cracked me up. I
was like, how did he sat there and called these
guys small time players forever? And but he at that
moment he didn't realize like, oh, the target is very
on me right now.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
So he goes takes a bath and has his gun
like five feet away from I was like, that's just
fucking rookie man.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, well, you know, we were just talking about suits, weather, heat, dust.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Maybe he was like, I know I should get out oftown,
but holy hell, I need to just get a bath.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
I stink, I'm dusty. Yeah, and it just was really
important to him. But I mean, keep your gun closer
like hell.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Maybe also don't drink, right, But that was the that
was the point. He was like, I switched a beer
because I didn't want to get sloppy. Like that was funny, right,
but so me it made me laugh. But then again,
but then you were sloppy, like your gun's too far away.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
You were sloppy.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Come on, yeah, no, and they they get.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Him, uh niked.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
And boy, they beat the ship out of him. Oh, yeah,
well that face swollen, his eyes swollen shut. That one
dude they had beaten on him was like a foot
taller than everybody else. It was the same guy he
played Jaws in James Bond Moonraker.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, huh, I think I could be wrong. I have
IMDb right here, I can look it up.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
He was just he looked like a professional strong man
like of today, like six eight six huge.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
He had three fifty four hundred pounds. Just a monster, especially.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Put beside some of those other guys who were very
average or on the smaller side, you know, and he's
the one that's beating the crap out of him.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
And once they which was was funny. You know, they
do the bad guy things. They beat the shit out
of him. He doesn't give him any answers, and they
leave him in a locked room and they come back
and you know, he breaks out, like hides, breaks out,
gets the smaller guy and has his you know, he's
using his gun to shoot the big guy.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
It took like six shots to take that guy down.
See that's when, uh, you know, unloading the gun on
that guy. Okay, it makes sense. He's he's enormous. Yeah,
you still may have not hit a vital organ because
there's just a lot of space there. I'm not finding
anything because I don't I don't know his name, but
he kind of gave me that vibe, which would have
(40:19):
been the same guy that was in a Happy Gilmore.
That's what I'm thinking of. Oh, yeah, he's the guy
he ended up hitting in the head with the nail.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Mister Larson.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah, great, Happy the Nail comes out next week. That's
an action movie, right, we get reviewed action. But yeah,
I mean I thought it was entertaining, nice, nice tight
hour hour to forty minutes without any comment for me
(40:52):
where I would have trimmed this and editing because I
think it.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Hit the Yeah, I like, I really did like the
the last finals and off scene. Like, so the gangs
end up killing each other. Uh, Doyle's gangs sets the
building on fire that had Strasi's gang in it kills
all of them, and so then they you know, they
find out they find out where John Smith is and
(41:15):
he goes out to that burnt down place with Joe
and Doyle meets him there with what's his face? And
who was their who was the third guy? At the end,
I completely barely recognized him. I couldn't tell if he
was the deputy or you know, he had a deputy vibe.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I don't know who he was.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Yeah, this third guy showed up out of nowhere. That
was the only three left in Doyle's gang. Like Strase's
gang completely wiped out. Doyle's gang, all dead except uh,
those three apparently. And it was great because right away
the the guy we don't know who it was, made
the first move immediately dead.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, o' doyle sitting there trying to trying to who
had the smartest vibe of all of them, just like, hey,
we won. It's three of us, fucking it. You killed
all my guys, but all those guys are dead and
we're left. Yeah, let's let's let's just do this. Except
that he was obsessed with that chick. That wouldn't Yeah,
that wouldn't have flown. He would that would have got
him at some point.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
But then Joe just puts one in him, like out
of nowhere, Joe just puts a bullet in that dude,
and I love it. It was it was great. He's like,
that's for fucking with my town. It was great.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
And then yeah, Hickey was like, oh, you're gonna shoot
me now.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I was like, no, nope, yeah, yeah, I just I
just want to kill him. I'm good now.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
And then, uh, I forget what Bruce Willis said, but
I know Hickey was like, hey, man, no.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, he just threw threw his Tommy gun down.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah, yeah, threw Tomy gun down, something about like I
don't know, man, I die in Chicago is one.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Thing, but I don't want to die here or something.
I don't want to die in Texas or something like that.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Uh. And then he does the call back to was
like when he starts turning to walk back to the car,
I bet your man has shoot someone in the back.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
I think Bruce was like, yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
One cracked me up because did he have did he
holster his gun when he started turning around, Because the
whole time Bruce Willis had his like John Smith had
his gun out pointing at them at all times. And
I can't remember if he still had a pointing at
Hickey or not. No, you know he still had a
point at him, right, but he was definitely like ready
for the trick, right, exced is gonna say because it's
one of those things. It's one, it's one thing to
(43:27):
do that when a guy when your back's turning, the
guy is holstered. But just to have a guy or
his gun already out, like you're not gonna win that,
you better be damn quick to win that one.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
When he shot Christopher Walking, he shot him, and again
they just like, why was this guy build out to
be this badass?
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I thought there would be like the what do you
call it? The uh showdown at high noon twin these two,
but it was nothing.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
I don't know if they could necessarily do that because
Bruce Willis looked so much like shit he did.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Oh yeah, like he was on.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
He was on the last time he was shot in
the gut. Well even his voice over saw hi about
one eye smashed the ship, so you know how well
I could see out of the one eye. Yeah, but
again it was like very like they kept talking about
how bad ass Hickey is and then I don't know,
(44:22):
it's Christopher Walking being Christopher walkin. He wasn't that bad ass.
He had a Tommy gun, that's it. Yeah, he had
the one scene even then he wasn't good shooting it.
I mean no flair, Well I got flair, baby, Yeah,
it was I enjoyed it. It was uh but actually no,
(44:43):
it was a lot of fun. I think once you
if you don't nitpick it and just go on the ride,
it's actually pretty. And Bruce Willis did a good job,
even though he's in a little bit of his mumble
core phase.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
I thought I thought that's what made the gnaar aspect Connor,
that gangster kind of aspect work. With the voiceover was
he was kept it low and kind of gravelly, like
he got you know. I thought that that was perfect
for that voiceover, you know sound.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I don't know that was just me, but I definitely
just want to talk too much.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
But it still was good. I actually enjoyed it. I
don't know if my wife fell asleep and now I
can't remember because I think it was getting the little
leg because we were watching something on TV. I was like,
oh shit, I gotta watch this movie.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Yeah, I turned on.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
I'm just like, all right, I guess we're staying out
a little bit longer. I think she was digging it
because it looks good. It's bright. Uh, you can see
the action. Sometimes I don't like action movies where if
it's set like if it's dark, sometimes you can't even
see the action, right, but this was the Old West
and it was bright.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
You could see it.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
You could feel the dust, you know, the cinematography. You
could just feel the dust. You knew the actions were
just eating shit. He wasn't a fun day on set.
It just yeah, it felt gritty, yeah pretty.
Speaker 1 (46:03):
You know yeah, you just like like like the dust
was just eating it, eating through the film like everything
it was. Yeah, it looked. They made it look perfect
for the scene therein for sure, and.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Bruce Willis's but I wonder if you had like, yeah,
you know, cool for an extra oh yeah, you know,
half a million mile, I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
That's a that's a halle Berry I think said they
want her to go topless some swordfish, and she's like,
yeah for a half a million, like done, yeah yeah
the producers, Yeah, best half a million I ever spent.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
I looked at up and see if it was Harvey Weinstein.
Yeah yeah, yeah shot shot yes.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Uh so mine would be the the scene where he
it's it's after he has beat the ship out of him,
and it's where it's it's at least this time it
shows him like reloading and putting new clips in his gun.
He's because he's just blowing people bay he left and
right all over the place. But then he gets to
the uh, the upstairs. I'm not sure when when it is,
(47:14):
but I know he gets the upstairs and the one
girl's up there and the guy has it's Doyle.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
It's not Duel's straws. He's girl and the guy has
him with the gun to her head like I'll shoot her,
I'll shoot her, and he just does even flinch. His
boom shoots him, blows him away. I love scenes like
that with people that are with people that are built
as like shooters, like they're guns, you know. I love
whenever they can take that shot, they accept the faith,
like yeah, I'm going to shoot him. He shot him
in the arm or something first, so he dropped his
gun and then shoots him in the head. Like that's
(47:40):
how it should be done in a movie like this.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
If you're that badass, you're that guy who's known that
you're a good shot, Yeah, take that fucking shot. Like
let him sit there and go, ah, you're exposing your head.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Fucking love it.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Yeah, I mean I liked it was an early scene
where he kind of sets the precedent that he's a badass.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
You know he has this two the two guns and
each side the holsters. He goes in and just choose
the ship out of that one and then gets a
job because of it because he because he's that bad ass.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Yeah, he killed he's he's the best guy picks up pickey,
not anymore.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
He killed the one that started all the trouble. But
you look, you shouldn't look at her, right, Yeah, yeah,
he got waste. That guy's a dick anyway, Oh that's
what he said. He had the big guy punched his windshield,
they broke off. Did they break off the side mirror?
They head like, oh, then that yeah, the dick smashed
the mirror. But he had one guy. He said, now
you get out of town. But then then they had
(48:35):
another guy come up and flatten his tire.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
I'm like, well no, but he can't.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Right, that's a cracked me up because he guy Frank
firsty slashes tire. Then the big guy punched out of
his windshield, and then he's like.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Oh on your head lights out, And I'll be like
I was playing on getting out oftown, but now you
just flattened my tire, right.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
You just extended my stake, dick hole. You just made
the worst mistake of your life. What you flat my tire?
Speaker 2 (49:00):
It really was because then he stuck around and shot
the shit out everybody.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
I found it really entertaining. Though I'd go seven out
of ten, but in a good like I'm not taking
marks off.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
It was entertaining. Yeah, I'd be like seven half eight.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
I enjoyed it, like I said, but I said, as
long as you're looking not looking for a serious one.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
Yeah, it's got a little exaggeration. So you good to
go there.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
You go watch it yourself. Tell us what do you think.

But I was gifted at Blu Ray from Eric listener

I drinking? I think it was your Halloween party.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
And this week we're talking about last man Standing. Bruce Willis.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Bruce Willis.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, I uh, it's it's fun.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I enjoyed the watching, like watching these movies again, Like
I mean, some of them haven't seen a lot of
them have, but I like it's definitely a different perspective
whenever some of these movies, you know, I haven't seen
for twenty literally twenty years when they came here, when
they came out in the nineties, over twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Years, right, Yeah, this was a nineteen ninety six, yeah,
I think. And oh and because we just talked about
the Crow, and the one bad guy in the movie
was in the Crow, so it's like we had a
little six degrees of the Crow.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
David Patrick Kelly pretty sure. He played Doyle O. T.
Bird trying to go through my head, which one ye
and I knew how to be doing up, which has
been great if he would have used that line and
this too, it's funny like, uh, you know, I had
to I watched this last night. It did go off
with Tube, but then I went on to Paramount Plus,
(01:26):
which I happen to have, and it said like newly added,
like yeah, because you.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Because you just bucked the rights fuckers.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It was like every time we pick a movie on
twob seven days later it's gone, but now I gotta
start checking Paramount plus to see if they're getting it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
But I can tell you I wasn't excited to watch
this movie. Oh yeah, yeah, I was just like, I
don't know. I had to suppression. I was trying to
recall seen this slong go like I'll watch it, but
I might watch it like two times of Speed. I
wasn't excited. Uh, and I'm glad, I, you know, grabbed
(02:03):
a liquid death, sat down and watched it because it
was really I thought it was really good. Yeah. For
some reason, I don't know, man, for some reason, I
was thinking it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Was not good yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Then watching it, it's it's like a western. Then nice
saw it was based off of yeah Kirosalah movie yo Jimbo.
I was like, okay and nice, I'm seeing this, and
I just started liking even more and more.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Well, there's I'm pretty sure there was a Clint Eastwood
that was called Last Man Standing, same type of premise,
but it was just Clint Eastwood and another Western type situation,
or maybe that was the name of it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
The movie was called A Fist full of Dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
There you go. Yep, that's one, and.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I guess they're both retellings of Yo Jimbo. Okay, and
I think the director of this movie said, it's not
a remake of that, it's more of a.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Reimagining. Reimagining. Yeah, yeah, that's it was. It was odd.
H It was fun because it was also kind of
filmed in that like old old gangster time, like you know,
old gangster noir type filming.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We had a lot of Bruce look, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The Bruce uh Bruce voiceovers. Yeah again, you keep picking
movies that are like Newir.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I didn't intend to, but I kind of forgot. That's
kind of how stout. I remembered it being more like
the gangster type, which funny.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But yeah, it was like set in the nineteen twenties. Right, Yeah,
I couldn't tell. Okay, see I was looking, I said,
in nineteen twenties prohibition. So yeah, nineteen thirty, twentyth arning prohibition.
Two gangs in this little town in Jericho, Texas. Because
I guess they were bootlegging down there. I'm assuming making
(03:51):
the booze, yeah, and sending it back up to Chicago
and New York.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And uh again, it's just small little western towns it is.
It's a Western, straight up a Western. But it's a
gangster movie.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But and I was just trying to figure out, like
just looking like with the cars, indoor plumbing, I'm like,
there's all stuff you'd have in this little dust bowl
we get Texas. That's what cracked me up was you
could see like the town was just it was almost
must It gave the impression of like it was a
boom town. And then by this point everybody had just
left because the population sign had like twelve thousand or
(04:28):
something like that. Our twelve hundred, and that was scratched
off and it said like fifty seven, and that was
being generous. Like the only people really was the gangsters. Yeah,
probably some prostitutes, the sheriff, the gas station at ten
gas station, the bartender, yeah, and Joe.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The bartender bar owner.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I guess, but yeah, Like that's it cracked me up
because I'm sitting there watching this and I didn't pick
up like they were running the booze to Chicago because
I'm sitting there going, these two gangs are in this town,
why where's the money coming from?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Like, where's like, where's the money? Where's the enjoyability be
in this town? At one point, Joe says, oh, He's like, oh,
you have electricity. He's like, yeah, we have guest generators.
Hopefully the don't break down because no one's left to
fix them. I'm like, and these generators must have been
twenty four to seven and it must have been huge
because but also, if.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You have two gangs in town, did you think they'd
be shooting each other all the time?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well yeah, I mean yeah, when you're the only two
people like that. Well, they said at the beginning they
had a truce, they had a temporary truce, and then
John shows up, John Smith. Yeah, Bruce Willis shows up
and he's hired by the one gang.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Right, it's hard to tell, but yeah, he's like, uh,
he's a freelancer.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Well right, that's where he like, you don't really know
his backstory. He tried, They tried to give the impression
like he's a big shot from a big time gang,
like he's a hired gun type guy. But you never
really know because he keeps talking down while in the
voiceovers about these like small time you know, petty thiefs
like that want to play big.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But yeah, maybe wait, he got hired by one, but
he wasn't sent there for any reason. He was on
his way to Mexico, right, Yeah, and I think his
voiceover probably shouldn't have stopped.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Here, yeah, because he because he looked at the girl
one guy's girl too long, so they like beat the
shit out of his car, right, They really flew off
the handle for him giving a side glance to a
big boss's side piece.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, but I would give the same side glance number one.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
When you're waiting for somebody to you know.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Take their sweet ass time crossing the stop for him,
you kind of look so you make sure, okay, they're
a crossed you know, I'm gonna go. Yeah, But that
was that was just to set up the interactions because
that guy who was leading that little group there came
over and beat the shit out of his car and everything.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's the guy.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
He just went, well, I'm gonna go pay him, found
out situation from Joe and then paid him a visit
immediately killed him.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, and and one of those great scenes where.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The gunshots were just super exaggerated where people were getting
hit by bullets and like flying twenty feet backward if
not further.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
He was insane. They had a kick. Well you can
tell that they were being yanked by wires. Oh yeah,
but it was pretty cool. I guess you can tell that.
It's like, this is not meant to be real, right or.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Not? Like a biopic. Don't know the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
This is insationalism, over the top fantasy. But it's set
in this time period. Because he also had guns that
sometimes unlimited, sometimes he had to reload them. He really
was just depending on his mood. Oh yeah, I was
sitting there watching that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was sitting saying that the same thing, Like he's
he unloads at least because everything he's doing as double pistols,
double pistol on all the time, and he unloads at
least twelve shots into that dude. That beat his car
up and then turns around where all the other guys
are sitting like in this poker room or whatever, and
just I'm loading right so many like another thirty shots,
(08:03):
it seemed like, and like didn't unload once and you know,
put a new clip in this constantly.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And also I felt like was it a bit overkill?
Like he was unloading know clips in like one person.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm like, there's like five other dudes.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You sure you does each body need twelve to fifteen bullets?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
There's double tapping, but this seems excessive, right, Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Plus he had the the super ballistic bullets that would
knock you off your feet, right yeah, I mean, And
that's the part I loved is, uh he shot I
forget the guy's name whatever, he shot him first, knocks
him into the street with his bullets, turns around like
just a hail of bullets into this other room.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Not a single person touched.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Like I was like, you hit all twelve in the
in the uh in the red on that guy and
not a single guy gets hit as you unloaded the
rest of that clip into that room.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Maybe on purpose because he ends up getting a job.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He's that good. Yeah, Well he gets how many gets.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Never thought about that?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Do you think he did? Like I'm that good? Yeah,
I guess everybody could have.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I could have wiped out your hole.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I was confused because he did get hired, but then
he just kept getting money back and forth, giving information,
paying for information. Yeah, I guess he's just decided to
h He's pissed, right, he directed his cars like got it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
He says that at one point, like he's he recognizes
these guys are small fish and if he plays you know,
if he plays his cards right, he could end up
with a little bit of coin before he goes to Mexico.
I mean, he was doing well there for a minute,
but even whenever it was whenever the at one point,
the ranger comes to town and I was like, that's
where you go, Like, okay, I'm all right, I played
(09:49):
a little close to the bone. Let's let's head out.
Let's get to finish our trip to Mexico and be
done here. We made a few grand and let's move on.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, he was so caught up in that. But yeah,
I don't know why he didn't take the money and
run right. Well, I guess he wanted to the girl
and to freedom. Back in Mexico because the one Doyle,
the one leader of the other gangsters.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, Strasi cut the girl's ear off.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I forget what point, but that was like the one
thing that drew drew him back in was she he
beats it at her and cut her ear off, so
he gave her bus fare to get back to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But then the the girl that had a daughter still
in Mexico that Doyle right basically kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It was wet. He want her in a card game.
Wanted a card game.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Because he had so he was like, he was doing
all the right things, right, that's he was helping out. Yeah,
the prostitute that they kept beating on the girl, he
wanted a card game. He is going to try to
help her get to freedom. He was doing everything except uh,
you know, stuff for himself.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Well that was that was kind of the only real
problem I had. But the movie was at one point
he he finds the Indian lady in the church praying
and they talking and she's like, you know me, like
not seeing my kid and everything, you.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Know, Oh, it's it's just it's my curse. What's yours?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And he's like, I don't have a conscience and then
proceeds to immediately get a conscience. Right, that's like and
and what bothered me, Like, so he doesn't have a
conscience because he's playing, you know, he's playing. He doesn't
care who dies, shooting people up and right, doesn't care
about anything, just getting his money. And then all of
a sudden gets a conscience freeze both let women, but
(11:33):
then sticks around like that's the part that got me too, well,
even the voice, I probably shouldn't have stuck around, right, like
something like that you get out, get out of dodge,
as they say.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, so you know that was that was the big
big fuck up there at that one point where he
does he gets both women away from each gang leader
and then just hangs around because it's like, I guess
he made up his mind he wanted to kill him
both or was he just trying to squeeze out another
couple bucks or.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You know, I can never figure out if it was
about ye wait, but he did he managed through working
both sides, feeding some information to the sheriff that was bullshit,
managed to get both sides that basically kill each other. Yeah,
I mean he did a lot of killing. But then
he would always blame it on the other gang, right,
and they would instantly just fall for it.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Except Christopher Walking. What was his character's name, I forget,
oh Hickey Hickey. Yeah, except Christopher Walkin's character. He was
the why, the street wise gangster. He looked like he
maybe he was the one guy who could hang with
the guys in Chicago, you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Know, right, he had a big scar down the side
of his face and across his neck. Yeah, why he's
Christopher Walking.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
That crack me up that they said, like, you know,
he talks weird because he was like this and didn't
and he's just the most torrible person. And and I'm like,
he didn't really talk any different than normally.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
He just talked like Christopher Walking maybe the drudge, just like, hey,
write something in because he talks really.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, these guys they don't understanding Room saying that was.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
More than John Travolta did John Travolta doing.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Walking Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So yeah, I mean I enjoyed it. It was a
good time like that.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
There was so much playing back and forth to the
point where so that was one of the things I realized,
like watching it first, I always loved Bruce Willison movies.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So I remember the first time.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I watched If you love Bruce Willison movies, you get
to see his butt in this.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But that was like they rewatching it. I feel like
they did a did a great job of making you
not like him for a while while. Like the first time.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
The first time I watched it, I was just I
was just loving it because it's watching it. But this
time I was watching a little differently. And when he
kept playing back and forth, I was like, Yeah, they're
trying to make you one be like fuck this guy,
and they did, but I was.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Like, yeah, what the fuck did get your money and go?
Stop being stupid?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, even when the uh so they have this big
what you call it a heist, I guess it was
a heist, but uh the one gang was bringing booze
up from Mexico. Yeah, Doyle, Doyle and trucks. I guess
I must. They must have been distilling down there, yeah,
stopping brewing beard, stealing something and they're coming up and
(14:29):
they you said, Bruce Willis stand in the middle of
road of the truck stop.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
The Mexican police get out ended up shooting the other
gangsters and give it. So they had to deal with
the other. Again, I didn't know that there was no
setup that he worked. They worked out. I thought they
were gonna just hit the caravan, right, but they already
had a deal with the Mexican police. And Yeah, there's
(14:57):
stuff that I'm missing with the Maybe I wasn't listening
to the voiceover properly.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, we have Mamiroz was the uh they didn't hint
the tip it off before that, but he was the
He was kind of like the John Smith in Mexico,
like I'm just going to the highest bidder man, I
don't give a shit, Like whoever pays me the most
money is who I'm oyal to.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Was that the border uh border police guy? Yeah, they
like thet shot by Hickey.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, the army guy like the then the brown.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It was actually borders patrol Okay, yeah or whatever it
was called in nineteen twenty Texas. But yeah, he when
Smith went down, he was there kicking it with everybody
that helped, you know, kill that one gang. No was
(15:45):
Smith went down when Hickey went down to find out
what happened, because they want their trucks back, right because
also apparently that was huge get not just the booze
getting trucks in this era era, it was like a
pretty big deal. You can haul more booze back to
Chicago if you had trucks.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well, yeah, that was That was another one. That thing
that uh Smith Tip tipped off Doyle's gang, Like, hey, Georgia's.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Down hanging with your boy Ramirez, the one that you know,
the one that double crossed you. Maybe you should go
find him, give me, give me a grand and for
that information.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And when he goes down that he has like this
Tommy oh yeah, and he's wildly just shooting it. It's
it's crazy. I'm like, he's supposed to be like good.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He's like the guy off i mean off the Home
Alone movies and in the video he's always watches I'm going.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
To give you a ten to get your low down, keister. Yeah,
he's just spraying with that pray and everything, but kind
of accurate.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Only the people he wanted to kill got killed with it.
Uh and then the the the Texas border security dude, Uh,
he's alive. Yes, he didn't want to hit him with
that spray. But he does this whole thing where he
terry he actually he's gonna let him go and he
(17:08):
turns around like you look like the kind of guy
that might shoot a man in the back, Like I'm see.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
What's gonna happen here?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
He does, and the cop dude tries to shoot him,
but he spins around and gets him, which they use
at the end of the movie. Right, I figured, like, oh,
that's going to come into play because all this talk
about Hickey being a badass, he did shit. I really
thought Christopher Walken's character is completely underused.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Right yeah, for for the uh, for the Mountain, they
made him out to be, you know, like this, like
I said, like I said, he seemed like he was
like the one guy who can hang with the big
boys and show like him and John Smith could be
in a Chicago gang where these guys were basically just
booze runners for the big gangs, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, yeah, and when you get sent to Texas, you're
not one of the big dogs in Chicago, New York.
Yeah no, no, no, But down there they were acting
like they were big shots, right, oh, yeah, they were nothing. Right,
It's easy to splash.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Money in a town where there's four other people living there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But also the nineteen twenties, like John wanted a thousand
dollars advance and they gave it to him. I'm like, yeah,
that's gotta be like some people's yearly salary.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I thought that too.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
They threw the they threw the thousand around pretty pretty broadly.
You know, there was a lot of times where a
thousand dollars for this, five hundred for that, Like that's
a lot of fucking money back in the day. Like,
I mean, it's not much now for for like a
mobster move now or anything said, but to the average jone,
a thousand bucks isn't chump changed.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Right even today. Gave me a thousand bucks, I'm like, hell, yeah,
thanks just for a tip, like just for a tip
off on something. I think the gas station guy, the mechanic,
he probably made the most money, it had the less
the least chance of getting shot because he was just
fixing fixing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Cars, right, yeah, fixing guy. He is the only only
place to get gas.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Even though he's he was out of there. Oh yeah, yep,
he was headed out. He's like, you're going to fix
your own damn car. I'm out of here.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, they had because at that point.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
The town was garbage. Yeah, literally, everyone was leaving the
sheriff was getting ready to leave. He'd like, the mechanic
guy was leaving the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The undertaker was leaving.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah, there's nobody. There's nobody left to kill. This one
gang left with three guys.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know, I'm surprised that the you know, they didn't
try to create a thriving little community, right, you know,
for appearances.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
And you take well, you think, yeah, you splashed that
money around the people, so you're the kingpins. People love
you and everything because you're making plenty of running your booze.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But no, yeah, it was just scare people off.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, you know, thinking about this, it's just it's just
you and your gang members. You there's no other cool
people to talk to. You ran most of the normal
people out of town. There's only two ladies and there's
only two.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, maybe they must say, well, the one whore they
locked up at one point, Leslie man, the ad the
cameo was the whore man. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That wouldn't be too much fun. And I imagine if
you find out that, you know, Giovanni got crabs, you're like, fuck,
we all have it now because there was only two
prostitutes in town.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Fucking Giovanni down there in Mexico, horn around some a bitch.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah you think they want to Let's let's make the
town five just in case we don't feel like going
back to Chicago. We built something awesome here. Nope, Nope,
that's why they sent They sent the yeah, the dumbest
gang members, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Send the hangers on down the area.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
All is you have to do is get the booze
shipped up to us. Yea and yeah, and then the
whole movie that's trying not to get killed. That's the
only real action they had gone on was like one
load of booze was coming through where these guys acted
like they were kings. But they had one day that
was the only action in the whole movie was one
load of booze. They had no other action going over
(20:59):
there make any money because I said, because the town's dead,
there's no one to make money on.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So so even they should be like, we're kind of
chump change.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I don't know how they got anything shipped in and out,
Like his car got fixed with like a headlight, yeah,
windshield and everything, And I was like, how do you
even get it right? There's no Amazon in that ship.
In two days do a little po dunk town in Texas.
That would have been like, I feel like a month
just to get that stuff shipped in. Well, I guess, Okay,
so the nineteen twenties, all the cars might have been
(21:28):
the same standard model teeth prettyish, so one headlight is
gonna fit on everyone, and the windshield was just to
play the glass. It's kind of like, you know, I
guess he was like, I was gonna take a while
to get that windshield, and I'm like, really, what got me.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Was like you say about the windshield was Doyle was
driving around a lot and like a convertible, but this
town was like a dust bowl. I was like, who's
driving around of the cattle with the convertible in this town?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Because it looks like the worst thing you could want
to do.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, you would just be eating heat wearing you need
something of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Like.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So there's a scene where Bruce Willis is again all
this ship goes down. He decides when he gets back
in town, like we can talk about that, but I'm
gonna jump to this quick because I found a fact.
So he he does help the one, uh, the one
get over to Mexico hopefully to get back to find
her daughter Doyle's girl or toyles. Yeah, acquired property from
(22:27):
a card game. Again, they give the impression they must
have really liked her.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
It was weird.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Oh yeah, he was obsessed with He was obsessed. But
he kills a bunch of people that were holding her.
When Hickey and Doyle show up, he says the other
gang hirs some new people from East Mount East and
so these let him go. He goes back in town
(22:53):
and de signs to uh get take a fool on bath.
So he's relaxing drinking beer in the tub and you
could see the pipes coming up to the hot and
cold faucets. So I was like, really running water, oh yeah,
or indoor plumbing. So I looked it up. So it
(23:14):
says here like only one percent of homes in the
United States had both indoor plumbing and electricity. So I'm like,
in this dust ball that they really did someone splurge. Yeah,
I think because you know, you watch Westerns all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
No, no, you don't.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I don't know. I say like that, I've seen Westerns
in my life, right and they always have to boil
water and then they dump it in the tub. Right now,
that could have been like eighteen hundreds. No, I just
there's some things that just stand out to you, like
he really, is there indoor plumbing at this place that
has to have a generator for electricity?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I love the towels. That's how they explained it away,
was the generators. But the opening scene as he's driving
into Jericho, when you see the sign airring, there's electric
wires coming into the town, right.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But I saw that to it, I was like wait,
I thought, yeah, I mean generator. Where was it?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do you have the generator out of town to generate?
Is actually do that thirty miles that way? It's a
pretty big generator. But they had a lot of money,
so maybe they were the one percent to have indoor splashing?
Was it was it at Joe's place.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Or was it at the I think Joe his at
Joe's place.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I think worse of the prostitutes were too, right, show
had it going on.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, yeah, he's a full service bar to serve what
three people, the one deputy deputy and Joe and the whore.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That's see any people that steps foot in that place.
He had business is booming.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I didn't really see any money transactions. I saw a
lot of booze drinking.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
He just gave.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
At one point, he gave Joe like a handful of money,
said this runs out, tell me I'll give you more.
And Joe's like, holy shit, which again he whirls into
town saying how broke he is like handed out a
couple of wads of cash immediately, and then at the
end he's like, and I'm leaving just as broke as
when I got here. I'm like, you've got multiple wads
of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That's what he Yeah, that was like one of his
last things.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He said.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm like, bullshit, did you give it all to the
girls to help them get out? Because he made a
boatload of money. Yeah, and come on, oh no, I
guess they would realize, even the people he killed at
that one cabin, like why don't you just you know,
check their pockets take the money. But I guess the
(25:33):
other bad guys were like, uh, they are our boys.
Not only been murdred, they've been looted. I think John
Smith is lying.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I think he's lying. Yeah, it's D and D thing.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You know, when you beat the bad guys, you loot.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Oh yeah, of course, most most actually, maybe they have.
Maybe they have a magic weapon on I don't know
he's got a magic weapon on him.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh he had a magic weapon. Wait, you're not talking
about his penis. You're talking about his horse. He did
he I thought I found something somebody referring to the weapons.
So he carries two cold forty five's that holds seven
plus one rounds or fourteen plus two Smith fires way more.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bullets than that.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, we know, I mean there is that one. Like
should we take a break is at time?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah? Why not? Cool?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
We'll be right back with more about Bruce Willis in the.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Bathtum, We're back, and we're back. I kept this watch
on my ad.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Dad gave me his best possession.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
We should stop doing impressions. One day I'll get walking
the impression.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
That's my goal, working at it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Two hours a day, seven news week, no, two minutes
every month, two minutes the other week on a podcast. Yeah,
Bruce Willis, John Smith. I love how some people are
definitely harshened on when you look at the mistakes people
on imdbit really putting in like bullets don't make you
(27:14):
fly thirty feet, you know, I feel like most people
do understand that, right. It's kind of one of those
things like where I was trying to say, the movie
isn't The movie's not trying to be realistic. It's fantasy.
And in this weird Texan town where two gangs live
(27:35):
basically side by side each other across the street, you know,
running booze all the way from the text from tech
Now again in prohibition, there was a lot easier ways
to make booze and get it to your local speak
easy then brewing down in Texas. Yeah, because again in Mexico,
driving from Texas all the way back up to Chicago
(27:56):
and like one of those model t's, Dude, how long
had that got to take?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, days and days and days and days if you're
like warm, right, And they didn't have like quality shock
absorbers and cars back then. So how many bottles were
being broken on the ship roads coming out of Texas
or even maybe the whole way to Chicago. I don't
have nineteen twenties dirt roads. Yeah, I imagine you hit
(28:24):
a bump, there's like crates of you know, vodka just
flying out.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
The back.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Would be it'd be deadly. Was easier just to you know,
find a warehouse, pay off a few coppers and just
brew right there in Chicago, find a bathtub and make it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
So if you were trying to distill back in nineteen
twenty Bootleg and in a big city like Chicago, how
much space would you need?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I mean, you.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Wouldn't need a big space to distill, like I don't.
I mean, I don't think they were even worried about
quality as much too. It was just gets you drunk shit. Yeah,
so you mean like literally, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Bathtub.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
It is called bathtub gin right. I don't think they're
really joking too much about that.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I mean when you look at look at all the moonshiners,
just like they had a little little cabin in the woods.
You know, it wasn't like it wasn't like you needed
a big operation.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
If you had the mcguiver, Still, could you create a
still in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah, I'm sure. Okay, I have faith in myself. I'd
like to get fucked up. I'd find a way as.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Right, Like if the world something happened and all the
power the power grids went down, Yeah, would we still
be able to make booze?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah? I mean booze.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
There's a massive e MP electricity cell out everything. We're
shoved back to the dark ages, but we still wanted
to sit around the campfire and drink beer.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
As they say in Jurassic World, life finds away. He's
something to get a fire going. All you need is,
you know, get yourself a enclosed metal, you know, container
and put it on the fire and you know, get
your cold run through it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You'd be good to go.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Hell yeah, figure it out now, you know. Man, We'll
find a way to make a booze. And if you
can't figure it out, then you go to find a
plant to eat that does the same.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I figured like if the if the grid dig go down,
we had no electricity everything, and it was apocalyptic time.
There's still a lot of whiskey somewhere being aged, right yeah,
in barrels that we could just stop worrying about the
aging process and crack them open, right and rick houses
is to start looting rick houses for fifty five hours
barrels and this is turned into like a Mad Max episode.
(30:56):
We're not going there.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
We're not worried about the fuel. We're worried about the booze.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But to summarize, they didn't need to go the whole
way down to Mexico to to bootleg, right. I guess
there was a way to, you know, they never explained it,
come to think of it, because Chicago, New York, they
were doing a ship ton of it. Why would you
need a plant in Texas?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, I mean that town was a ghost town and
the sheriff was on the take.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
So and we got there it was being made over
the border.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Oh, because well, okay, Mexico didn't have any there was
no prohbibi mexicore. Yeah, they could never make an air
tequila whatever they felt like. Yeah, so we were just
paying the money. Hey, it makes them more still not necessary, No,
it's yeah, it's a but we wouldn't have a movie.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
It's a plot.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
We didn't have two gangs bootlegging in.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Texas, right, because, like I said, that, whenever they were
trying to figure out what to give these guys to
do down there, that's the only thing they could do
because everything else that, like I said, that was the
only action they had gone on was one of them
boot like one thing during the entire time in like
a week or two that he was there.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, he's you know, it is a little odd. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I do like the fact that it was a Western Yeah,
it made it a little bit different than just being
set in the nineteen twenties, the Roaring twenties in Chicago.
It had like a it just gave it a whole
different It was kind of an element that made it.
I don't know, I think far more interesting if it
was just another nineteen twenties gangster move.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
It's kind of an awkward hybrid and so that way.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
That way, instead of walking with rifles down the street,
you got to like you got guns and Tommy guns
and double pistols.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Oh, rather than everybody being like in cowboy hats and
dusters and boots, they were dressed up to the nines
like they were in Chicago or New.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
York, right, I mean, yeah, they costumed up to play
the part, for sure. Yeah, But also I'm like, uh,
it's Texas, it's dust.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I think the last thing I want to do is
be in a full suit down to like someone had
like vests, oh yeah, jacket, Like dude, you you guys
are just dripping right multiple sweat right multiple times in
the movie.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Whether it was like he was meant to or not.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Brussels was wiping sweat off of his head and face
and everything because like it looked hot whenever filming weather.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It was or I looked hot.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, non practical, No, No, I mean, I imagine Texas
can get cold, you nineteen twenties Texas was the was
the weather different whether it has a has a way
of changing.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Right, Yeah, I imagine Texas was always pretty hot.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
It looks like it's always. I don't know, if you know,
you could I'm not gonna look it up. You could
tell us to send us an email at swol send
him at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
I don't know. It's snowed in Texas a couple of
years ago and shut the state down. So he stayed apparently, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
The nineteen Now I gotta look get out, No, you
should keep vamping.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, well here we go.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
But yeah, like the other part, so we got to
that kind of mentioned a little bit about that part
where he goes to the place where they're they're holding
the girl, holding Doyle's girl to keep her safe because
they already captured her once, which they didn't never really say,
but I assumed that STRASEI was able to get that
Indian girl because John Smith knew she prayed at that
(34:28):
church by herself. Like, I don't think anybody else really
knew that, So I assume he set that up, but
they didn't really say it. I don't know if it
got cut, but that just could have been another one
of his like, you know, playing the play on the
other side to make the negotiation whatever. But yeah, so
he gets that part And the part that cracked me
up about that scene was he stayed there all night,
(34:51):
which even I said, like what the Like, you don't
stay there, you drive back into town and say all
the boys are dead and the girl's gone.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
You don't say there.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
That's immediate, you know, suspicion on you for just hanging
out there and not doing anything. He said, like, oh,
waited in case she ran back, Like we all know
no one's running back to the scene.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
That's dumb.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
But then Christopher Walking picks up the picks up the
one guy's gun and goes, this one was never fired.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
And then immediately it's like call Johnson's right, He picks
it up, he smells it, looks.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
At all the bullets. This one was never fired. I'm like,
well that happens, you know, like right.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, I did find some details on the twenties weather
in Texas. Yeah, nineteen twenty Austin weather extremes. So the
highest they had at least to this report, so one
hundred degrees July sixteenth and their lowest twenty three degrees
fahrenheit in December twenty eighth.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Is there no Jericho, Texas coming out? Look?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
A highest daily I know is Jericho. Their highest daily
was seventy seven degrees.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Around July.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
So even that so if the highest daily was seventy seven,
full on suit, still be hot, Yeah, still be hot
because there was no shade there.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
It's just the town in the middle of the open.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Most daily precipitation three inches. It must have been when
they filmed, because they had two days in the ten
days or whatever. John was there with torrential downpours.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Oh yeah, I forgot. Well, there you go. That was
at the end. I thought, Yeah, I forgot about the
r I.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Do think it's a little hotter in Texas daily in July. Now,
but there you go. Now, you know, everybody learns something
every day. And then now I look at some more charts. No,
it was normal Texas weather. Yeah, were in a full
suit it was not practical. It's funny. I when to
(36:47):
move to Austin, Texas. At one time it's I'll be good, well,
I hate snow, okay, And then when they had all
that ice and snow, and I guess there's just no
getting away from it, right, maybe Hawaii, I was like,
I guess, Pennsylvania, we know how to deal with it
at least, right, we can sort of drive in it. Well,
(37:09):
last year barely snowed here. I think you're good now, hey, hey,
but this year could don't don't jinx it. This year
could be bad. I don't nestily well, I hate shoving snow. Yeah,
but if you got to go anywhere, like, it's not me,
I can drive in snow, right, it's the rest of
the rest of the population can't.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
It's the other people I worry about. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
I've seen people driving the snow and still on their phone,
like I don't. I don't understand anyway, But that's not
the podcast you're listening to. But you still might feel me.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
You you know you've seen it come back later for
the man yells at Cloud podcast, angry old guy bitching
about it.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
But yeah, so yeah, that was like that was the
beginning of the end for John Smith when they he
went there, because like you said, he went.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Back, he got into it, which cracked me up. I
was like, how did he sat there and called these
guys small time players forever? And but he at that
moment he didn't realize like, oh, the target is very
on me right now.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
So he goes takes a bath and has his gun
like five feet away from I was like, that's just
fucking rookie man.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, well, you know, we were just talking about suits, weather, heat, dust.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Maybe he was like, I know I should get out oftown,
but holy hell, I need to just get a bath.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
I stink, I'm dusty. Yeah, and it just was really
important to him. But I mean, keep your gun closer
like hell.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Maybe also don't drink, right, But that was the that
was the point. He was like, I switched a beer
because I didn't want to get sloppy. Like that was funny, right,
but so me it made me laugh. But then again,
but then you were sloppy, like your gun's too far away.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
You were sloppy.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Come on, yeah, no, and they they get.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Him, uh niked.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
And boy, they beat the ship out of him. Oh, yeah,
well that face swollen, his eyes swollen shut. That one
dude they had beaten on him was like a foot
taller than everybody else. It was the same guy he
played Jaws in James Bond Moonraker.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, huh, I think I could be wrong. I have
IMDb right here, I can look it up.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
He was just he looked like a professional strong man
like of today, like six eight six huge.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
He had three fifty four hundred pounds. Just a monster, especially.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Put beside some of those other guys who were very
average or on the smaller side, you know, and he's
the one that's beating the crap out of him.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
And once they which was was funny. You know, they
do the bad guy things. They beat the shit out
of him. He doesn't give him any answers, and they
leave him in a locked room and they come back
and you know, he breaks out, like hides, breaks out,
gets the smaller guy and has his you know, he's
using his gun to shoot the big guy.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
It took like six shots to take that guy down.
See that's when, uh, you know, unloading the gun on
that guy. Okay, it makes sense. He's he's enormous. Yeah,
you still may have not hit a vital organ because
there's just a lot of space there. I'm not finding
anything because I don't I don't know his name, but
he kind of gave me that vibe, which would have
(40:19):
been the same guy that was in a Happy Gilmore.
That's what I'm thinking of. Oh, yeah, he's the guy
he ended up hitting in the head with the nail.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Mister Larson.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah, great, Happy the Nail comes out next week. That's
an action movie, right, we get reviewed action. But yeah,
I mean I thought it was entertaining, nice, nice tight
hour hour to forty minutes without any comment for me
(40:52):
where I would have trimmed this and editing because I
think it.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Hit the Yeah, I like, I really did like the
the last finals and off scene. Like, so the gangs
end up killing each other. Uh, Doyle's gangs sets the
building on fire that had Strasi's gang in it kills
all of them, and so then they you know, they
find out they find out where John Smith is and
(41:15):
he goes out to that burnt down place with Joe
and Doyle meets him there with what's his face? And
who was their who was the third guy? At the end,
I completely barely recognized him. I couldn't tell if he
was the deputy or you know, he had a deputy vibe.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I don't know who he was.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Yeah, this third guy showed up out of nowhere. That
was the only three left in Doyle's gang. Like Strase's
gang completely wiped out. Doyle's gang, all dead except uh,
those three apparently. And it was great because right away
the the guy we don't know who it was, made
the first move immediately dead.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, o' doyle sitting there trying to trying to who
had the smartest vibe of all of them, just like, hey,
we won. It's three of us, fucking it. You killed
all my guys, but all those guys are dead and
we're left. Yeah, let's let's let's just do this. Except
that he was obsessed with that chick. That wouldn't Yeah,
that wouldn't have flown. He would that would have got
him at some point.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
But then Joe just puts one in him, like out
of nowhere, Joe just puts a bullet in that dude,
and I love it. It was it was great. He's like,
that's for fucking with my town. It was great.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
And then yeah, Hickey was like, oh, you're gonna shoot
me now.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I was like, no, nope, yeah, yeah, I just I
just want to kill him. I'm good now.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
And then, uh, I forget what Bruce Willis said, but
I know Hickey was like, hey, man, no.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, he just threw threw his Tommy gun down.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah, yeah, threw Tomy gun down, something about like I
don't know, man, I die in Chicago is one.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Thing, but I don't want to die here or something.
I don't want to die in Texas or something like that.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Uh. And then he does the call back to was
like when he starts turning to walk back to the car,
I bet your man has shoot someone in the back.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
I think Bruce was like, yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
One cracked me up because did he have did he
holster his gun when he started turning around, Because the
whole time Bruce Willis had his like John Smith had
his gun out pointing at them at all times. And
I can't remember if he still had a pointing at
Hickey or not. No, you know he still had a
point at him, right, but he was definitely like ready
for the trick, right, exced is gonna say because it's
one of those things. It's one, it's one thing to
(43:27):
do that when a guy when your back's turning, the
guy is holstered. But just to have a guy or
his gun already out, like you're not gonna win that,
you better be damn quick to win that one.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
When he shot Christopher Walking, he shot him, and again
they just like, why was this guy build out to
be this badass?
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I thought there would be like the what do you
call it? The uh showdown at high noon twin these two,
but it was nothing.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
I don't know if they could necessarily do that because
Bruce Willis looked so much like shit he did.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Oh yeah, like he was on.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
He was on the last time he was shot in
the gut. Well even his voice over saw hi about
one eye smashed the ship, so you know how well
I could see out of the one eye. Yeah, but
again it was like very like they kept talking about
how bad ass Hickey is and then I don't know,
(44:22):
it's Christopher Walking being Christopher walkin. He wasn't that bad ass.
He had a Tommy gun, that's it. Yeah, he had
the one scene even then he wasn't good shooting it.
I mean no flair, Well I got flair, baby, Yeah,
it was I enjoyed it. It was uh but actually no,
(44:43):
it was a lot of fun. I think once you
if you don't nitpick it and just go on the ride,
it's actually pretty. And Bruce Willis did a good job,
even though he's in a little bit of his mumble
core phase.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
I thought I thought that's what made the gnaar aspect Connor,
that gangster kind of aspect work. With the voiceover was
he was kept it low and kind of gravelly, like
he got you know. I thought that that was perfect
for that voiceover, you know sound.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I don't know that was just me, but I definitely
just want to talk too much.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
But it still was good. I actually enjoyed it. I
don't know if my wife fell asleep and now I
can't remember because I think it was getting the little
leg because we were watching something on TV. I was like,
oh shit, I gotta watch this movie.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Yeah, I turned on.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
I'm just like, all right, I guess we're staying out
a little bit longer. I think she was digging it
because it looks good. It's bright. Uh, you can see
the action. Sometimes I don't like action movies where if
it's set like if it's dark, sometimes you can't even
see the action, right, but this was the Old West
and it was bright.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
You could see it.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
You could feel the dust, you know, the cinematography. You
could just feel the dust. You knew the actions were
just eating shit. He wasn't a fun day on set.
It just yeah, it felt gritty, yeah pretty.
Speaker 1 (46:03):
You know yeah, you just like like like the dust
was just eating it, eating through the film like everything
it was. Yeah, it looked. They made it look perfect
for the scene therein for sure, and.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Bruce Willis's but I wonder if you had like, yeah,
you know, cool for an extra oh yeah, you know,
half a million mile, I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
That's a that's a halle Berry I think said they
want her to go topless some swordfish, and she's like,
yeah for a half a million, like done, yeah yeah
the producers, Yeah, best half a million I ever spent.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
I looked at up and see if it was Harvey Weinstein.
Yeah yeah, yeah shot shot yes.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Uh so mine would be the the scene where he
it's it's after he has beat the ship out of him,
and it's where it's it's at least this time it
shows him like reloading and putting new clips in his gun.
He's because he's just blowing people bay he left and
right all over the place. But then he gets to
the uh, the upstairs. I'm not sure when when it is,
(47:14):
but I know he gets the upstairs and the one
girl's up there and the guy has it's Doyle.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
It's not Duel's straws. He's girl and the guy has
him with the gun to her head like I'll shoot her,
I'll shoot her, and he just does even flinch. His
boom shoots him, blows him away. I love scenes like
that with people that are with people that are built
as like shooters, like they're guns, you know. I love
whenever they can take that shot, they accept the faith,
like yeah, I'm going to shoot him. He shot him
in the arm or something first, so he dropped his
gun and then shoots him in the head. Like that's
(47:40):
how it should be done in a movie like this.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
If you're that badass, you're that guy who's known that
you're a good shot, Yeah, take that fucking shot. Like
let him sit there and go, ah, you're exposing your head.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Fucking love it.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Yeah, I mean I liked it was an early scene
where he kind of sets the precedent that he's a badass.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
You know he has this two the two guns and
each side the holsters. He goes in and just choose
the ship out of that one and then gets a
job because of it because he because he's that bad ass.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Yeah, he killed he's he's the best guy picks up pickey,
not anymore.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
He killed the one that started all the trouble. But
you look, you shouldn't look at her, right, Yeah, yeah,
he got waste. That guy's a dick anyway, Oh that's
what he said. He had the big guy punched his windshield,
they broke off. Did they break off the side mirror?
They head like, oh, then that yeah, the dick smashed
the mirror. But he had one guy. He said, now
you get out of town. But then then they had
(48:35):
another guy come up and flatten his tire.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
I'm like, well no, but he can't.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Right, that's a cracked me up because he guy Frank
firsty slashes tire. Then the big guy punched out of
his windshield, and then he's like.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Oh on your head lights out, And I'll be like
I was playing on getting out oftown, but now you
just flattened my tire, right.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
You just extended my stake, dick hole. You just made
the worst mistake of your life. What you flat my tire?
Speaker 2 (49:00):
It really was because then he stuck around and shot
the shit out everybody.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
I found it really entertaining. Though I'd go seven out
of ten, but in a good like I'm not taking
marks off.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
It was entertaining. Yeah, I'd be like seven half eight.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
I enjoyed it, like I said, but I said, as
long as you're looking not looking for a serious one.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
Yeah, it's got a little exaggeration. So you good to

But I was gifted at Blu Ray from Eric listener

it's time. And I think he said to me, like, hey,
I got this at second Trials for him. Now you
have no excuses, Red don Okay, Patrick Swayzey, let's go.
