This is free with ads, the podcast that asked the question, why pay Peacock nine bucks a month to watch Kevin Costner strut around? on some ranch when you can go online for free and watch him seduce Whitney Houston by doing the sexiest thing a man can do. Show off his sword collection. I'm Dorden Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is The Bodyguard, the 90s romantic classic with the hit soundtrack featuring that song we all know and love, even if my heart would break by Kenny G. With us as always is the super producer, The He Freak, Matt Lebe, hitting us with those times. timeless, everlasting drops.

Do this? Do it? I think I'm not? I think I'm not going to do it? We can only do 10 seconds, Matt. Yeah, that's right. We have to add Godzilla so it counts us commentary. Oh, fuck yes.

Godzilla will be added in post. Godzilla will be added in post. Honestly, yes. The song for me in this movie was Queen of the Night. I'd never heard that song before. Queen of the Night rules. Good song. I'd never heard this song before.

And it sounded like in Vogue, which I love EnVogue. And it was like, this sounds like that free, like, what is it? Free your mind and the rest of the ball. It sounded a lot like that. And then I was like, ooh, queen of the night. So I've been listening to that strutting around LA in my headphones. And I think like this whole soundtrack was all hit singles. And, you know, obviously I will always love you who's become the, you know, thing that stuck around.

But I think at some point these were all kind of like number one hit songs. Oh, easily. Yeah. A lot of great music in here. A lot of great music. Cold ass. take. Yeah.

The bodyguard soundtrack has good music. The best song, of course, being even if my heart would break by Kenny G. We love it. Not just Whitney Houston on the soundtrack, people. There's a lot of wonderful divas. Yes, the Whitney Houston of the soprano saxophone. Yes, of instrumental soprano sax, smooth jazz. Which can we all agree Whitney Houston is the greatest singer of all time?

Yeah, sure. She might be. It's her voice is like, anytime she's, it's like she's not even fucking trying. It's crazy, crazy singing. Well, hey, before we talk more about the Bodyguard, which is as of this recording, streaming free with ads, we're going to answer a question from a listener in a segment called We Got Mail. You Got Mail.

This question is from Reddit. It is from Nick Wester. They write, Is it safe to say that Ouigi II, Origin of Evil, was the most surprise you all have been with a movie? Or is there a movie that surpassed expectations, either being better or worse even more. Yeah, definitely Ouija 2, huge surprise,

given that Ouija 1 sucks so bad. But I think I had like heard that. I think that was the story of that movie. It's like, oh, hey, like, they made a prequel to this kind of bad movie and the prequel's really great. I didn't know it was going to be that good, though. It was like, true. Yeah, the, like, gap is so wide.

Just being better than the first one is like a feat. Like, not a feat. It's like, yeah. easy, but how good it was was pretty nuts. Yeah. I will say for like movies we've watched that have been surprises, I was surprised at how much fun I had watching the Van Damme Street Fighter because I hated it so much when I saw it as a kid. I'm like, wait, this thing is a blast. It's really fun.

I was right about it being bad. I was right about it being bad as a kid, but it is actually fun to watch. Ghost, I think, was a huge surprise just because, I mean, kind of a similar, you know, You know, it's a similar movie culturally to the one we're watching today. Yeah. I'm like, oh, I just kind of thought that was going to be this like bombastic, sappy romance when actually it's a horror comedy about buddies Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was going to be cheeseball.

And there's cheesy moments in it. But yeah, Whoopi really fucking slaps in that movie. Yeah, literally actually funny, actually scary. The movie finished. Mine is also a Patrick Swayze movie and it's Roadhouse. Hey. Because I had never actually seen Roadhouse until, you know, we watched it for the podcast. And I was, I guess I was expecting it to be incredibly 80s and boring.

And I guess, I don't know, in my mind, I had seen like two scenes. And it was people fighting in a bar. And I was like, I hate this. I don't want to watch a movie about guys fighting in a bar. bar. It's just, it seems like it's going to suck.

And it ended up being one of my favorite movies of all time. I was surprised by how much you all liked that movie. I was like kind of blown away. And it's like,

you guys gave it tens? I was like, wow. Easy 10. Wow. Well, I'm kind of thinking Predator was my, and that's the most recent,

but like, it's in my top 10 favorite movies of all time now. Like, I think that movie is a masterpiece. It totally is. Yeah, absolutely.

And I did not think I was, I was going to like it like that. So yeah, that's the one for me, I guess. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that we did the Power Rangers movies. Yeah, that's right. And I was pleasantly surprised that it was just as good as when I saw it as a kid. I was right when I was eight. I knew what I was talking about.

This movie is fun as fuck. All right. Well, thank you to Nick Wester for their question. Let's do it. Let's talk about the bodyguard. Hell yeah. Before we talk about the bodyguard, we should let you know that this movie features sexual assault. So if that's not something you want to hear us talk about, we're going to play some music and give you a chance to find another episode. Hello, we're back. It's free with ads.

We're going to talk about the bodyguard. So am I right? None of us have seen this, right? None of us had seen this. I should hope you've seen it now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, now. Yeah, I saw it. Yeah, we're not Marie Cecile Anderson who came on the show. We're having watched the movie. Our only guest to have come on the show and not watch the movie.

I say this because I just got an email from her because she's mad. I haven't sent her a headshot yet. And I'm like, well, guess what? You didn't watch the movie. I had movies to watch, unlike you. Exactly. Sorry, I kept me sending headshots all over the place. I have to watch movies.

Go watch or listen to the Rockadoodle episode. You'll know what I mean. It was a great episode. And she was great. She was hilarious. Turns out you don't need to see the movie to actually. To be funny. Yeah.

Wait a minute. What are we doing actually watching these movies? What's our problem? Well, yeah, so yeah, none of us has seen, but I mean, obviously we've all like, the soundtrack was everywhere when we were kids. So we've all heard the music. And I feel like this is one where I, like, saw so many parodies of it. Like, there's a whole Simpsons episode that's parody. Really?

Yeah, yeah. Also, naked gun 33 and a third. I feel like the entire last act of that naked gun movie takes place at the Oscars is going to be a, you know, assassination at the Oscars. I was like, oh, I see. So that's kind of, they're kind of doing bodyguard, I think. Yeah. And I think as, you know, all three of us were probably just like huge comedy nerds as kids too. So we, I mean, I had a lot of stuff where I saw the parody before the original.

Yeah. What was it? Was it top secret? Is that, which is the one with Val Kilmer? That is a Valcomer parody movie. Yeah, yeah. That movie. Val Kilmer did a parody movie?

Yeah. And it's awesome. It's hilarious. It's super good. Yeah, it's really, that's like one of the, that's like, I mean, I think it's by the same guy who did airplane and ghost weirdly. Yeah. And it's funny, I think it's funnier than airplane.

Yeah. Wow. I can't wait to watch this. It's really good. It's really good. And like that movie I saw first and then I saw pretty much every movie that it is, making fun of, like, accidentally. And I was like, oh, that's that, okay, that's that top secret joke.

Well, to me, it was like, this was the first time I realized I couldn't go see a movie because I was, I think this came out in, what, 92? I can't hear. And so I was not an adult yet. And so I wasn't allowed to go see it. But everybody was talking about it. And there were kids at my school whose parents let them go see it. Oh, wow.

And I was like, why can't I? And then I never saw it. And it was like, that. That was the first movie I wanted to see. And I was like, I got to see it. And then I couldn't see it. And then I never fucking watched it until I was 40 years old. That's crazy.

Yeah. Well, yeah, let's actually talk about it. The movie starts. We have, I was about to say Val Kilmer. Who starts in this movie? Oh, yeah. Kevin Costner. There you go.

One of those guys. One of those guys. One of those guys our moms is we're horny for. That's right. And I am horny for. You know, yes, absolutely. You know, Val, obviously, RIP, but stayed, stayed a hunk to the end. Costner's still hunking it up over there on...

Holy shit, is he hunking it up still. It is so... He's not, well, he... Spoiler alert about Yellowstone, everybody. Plug your ears if you want to know the ending. He dies in that. But, like... So he's, but yeah, I've watched all of Yellowstone.

He's very hot. And in this movie, in particular. Oh, fuck. And he's got the worst. haircuts too he's like I think he's gotten better hair plugs since this and like it's it's definitely the I'm holding on to this hair as as long as I can like in like in just reading the like IMDB page about this movie I guess it was this movie was supposed to be made many different times with many different like pairs of people and one of those the the bodyguard was being played by Steve McQueen the you know the guy from Bullitt. it. And I guess Kevin Costner got Steve McQueen's haircut as a tribute to the version that was never made. It's such a weird move. But I guess that's why he has this particular bad haircut in this movie. Yeah. I think he might have a producer credit on this movie or something because

from interviews and stuff I watched. And also Kevin Costner's eulogy that he gave for Whitney Houston, which is like... I watched that too. Right after the movie, I watched that. Oh my God, it was so moving. Yeah. I was a mess. What a hunk. And like I was sobbing. And so he kind of made it seem like he helped to get her cast.

He helped to choose the music. So part of me thinks he probably has it. I didn't look it up. I don't want it. IMDB has way too many ads on there. It's a slow as fuck website. Bad website. Yes.

IMDB. Get it out of there. I pay $123 a year to use that thing. Why you got so many ads? Use IMDB. Pro, you use the pro. Yeah. And some, I mean, other people are uploading

shit to it. I didn't know people could do that. But like, you know, I got to try to upload things with all of my many credits. Give me a break. You can put podcasts on there now. We can put every episode of this podcast on IMDB if we wanted to.

Yeah. You can make it look like. Let's get those star meters jacked up. Yeah, you can make your star meter good. What's everybody's star meter? That's a whole other, that's a whole other conversation. That's a, Let's talk about the bodyguard

Yeah, let's talk about the bodyguard And not our careers Which are going Great Fine I think so too I think we're all doing very good We're doing great

So yes Kevin Costner He's yelling Stay down He's got a gun Yep he's the bodyguard And he's guarding somebody Later

A guy with a very long ponytail Is pouring him drinks This is probably the guy he bought his sword from. Later on, we'll get into his sword collection. Sure will. But, and he, the ponytail guy, it says, oh, let me bring you on for a permanent position, but he's not going to do it.

This guy doesn't stay in one place for too long. He can't commit. He can't commit. He's just like any man. Thank you. Just a classic fuck bodyguard. won't text me back So yeah

He says his feet fall asleep If he stays in one place for too long I learned from the credits This movie's written by Lawrence Kazden Who wrote most of the Star Wars movies What? Yeah, that's crazy Yeah

I love that Me too He wrote the Empire Strikes Back And he couldn't give this movie a good ending We'll discuss that later But I think it's a great ending I mean I think it was just kind of We'll talk about it.

When we get to it, I think it's a very Empire Strikes Back ending. Okay, there you know. He turns out to be related to her. Rachel, I am your father. Gets that sword out and cuts someone's hand off. I love that we can't come up with a better name for a pop star than Rachel. Rachel, I feel the same way. Rachel Marin.

Rachel Marin. She's regarding Mark Marin. Exactly. just asking who are your guys constantly Rachel I am your podcast host Lock the gates Yeah lock the gates Because they're not secure

That's right Anyway So yeah So a A guy he used to work with Comes to him Ask him to come to a big job For $2,000 a week

And he says He doesn't do celebrities Which turns out He does do them He does. He does. He does it. He does them in both guards. The man has sex with them if you catch my secret meaning. Let me see what, what is the inflation of 2000. Oh, so $2,000 in 1992 is the equivalent of $4,700 today. Pretty good. I think that's still kind of low. I mean, I'm just thinking about how crazy that inflation rate is. What?

Yeah. It's more than double fuck. Well, I mean, I liked when I was... So he can get two gallons of gas, am I right? Thanks, Biden. But I was also thinking about like how back in the day there was money like in movies and stuff because she was like the biggest pop star for real. And Kevin Costner, it's like, someone I was talking to is just like how Master P has like a huge house.

Yeah. And I'm like from Make-Up Say, uh? Like... Oh, yeah. No, but Master P has also did a lot of business moves. Oh, he did? He was always on business. Okay.

So it's like, I don't know what those moves were, but he definitely did business. Making money moves. Yeah, no, it's like, so you could actually be rich from one big song back then. And now it's like, no, you can't. Yeah. Yeah, Matt's had all those billboard top 100 hits. All those huge stings. Your walk to remember song.

Yeah, the walk to remember song. That was huge in Germany. They love that song in Germany. We're going to go to Eurovision with the Walk to Remember song. My girlfriend's got cancer. Iceland is like, I love that song. That's my Icelandic accent. We love this cancer song.

Yeah, we like it because the girlfriends caught it. I don't know. We're huge in Iceland. So he decides to take the job. He goes to Rachel Maren's house. he gives them like a bunch of fake names. He says like he's Alexander Graham Bell and Henry Ford. I don't know why he does this.

I guess it's to prove that they have bad security. Right. Prove they have bad security, which you figure it's going to pay off at some point. Never does. There's also, you keep mentioning the sword. The sword is, you know, you think it's like a Chekhov's gun thing and they totally just don't use the sword ever again. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's to turn her on.

I think, you know, I mean, Emily, I'll speak for you here. The most, the thing you can do to turn on a woman the most is show off your sword collection in your, in your undecorated dank bedroom. That's right. No decorations other than a sword. It's so sharp that it could cut the silk in half. Oh, I got it in Japan. I'm really into Japanese culture. That's pretty cool, actually.

Be careful with it. I usually don't let stupid girls hold it. But I will say that I show my knives. to people sometimes when they come over. Yeah, that's cool. I have a dagger on my wall like most of the time. And then I've got my Green Ranger dagger.

That's right, because you're cool. Those are collectibles. Yeah. What we're saying is... Did you know that you can get a real Green Ranger dagger that's actually a dagger? Why would they have made that? Why do you think? I don't think the Power Rangers company is making.

Probably a nerd is forging it in his backyard kiln. Well, probably. but I hope it's also a flute. Well, yeah, but then you have to put your mouth on a knife. Yeah. Well, you want to talk about being horny for knives. Sure. That's fair.

Yeah, you're so horny. You want to just, you want to put it in there and start blowing. Hey. Anyway. Say it with me, everybody. Anyway. That's not a knife. This is a, oh, blah, blah.

Boob-bo-bo-be-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo. Oh, God. Summon the Zords. There we go. So, okay, so we meet Rachel Marin. She's doing the most glamorous thing you can do in the early 90s shooting a music video. Hell yeah. High budge music video.

In her house. In her house. So she has a soundstage in her house, which is cool because she's a pop star. That makes sense. And she has attitude when she comes in. I love this character. Me too. She's great.

She's a really good actress. Her fucking movie. This is her first movie. Like they, anyway, yeah, she's awesome in this. She's a star. That woman. The character's kind of underwritten, but like she's so good in this. Yeah.

Yeah. And she, so yeah, so they're shooting a music video. Kevin Kassar, he doesn't want the job for some reason that's unclear. He meets her. She has a kid who's into boats. Kids playing with some boats out in the pool. Yeah. And we learn.

all the safety things, a kid by himself at a pool that later we find out... Who can't swim? Who famously can't swim? That's a good point. That's a good point. The one thing... Okay, people know two things about this kid. He has two qualities.

He loves boats and cannot swim. And they're just like, eh, send him out to play by the pool. That is wild. I did not consider that. Yeah, what about a lifeguard? Okay, bodyguard. Yeah, sure, right? Yeah.

Get Hasselhoff in here. Right. Yank the kid out of the water. For sure, lifeguards are cheaper than bodyguards. No shit. Yeah. But that pool is epic, though. It's a 16-year-old you can get.

The mansion in this, and the pool is from the Godfather. It's where they find the horse head in the bed. Oh, that's amazing. I love that. A lot of fun L.A. movie locations in this movie. Yeah. So they have a huge problem with, like, stalker-type. here apparently someone broke in and masturbated on her bed we do not learn who did that but i thought

maybe it was so he's you kind of see kevin costner noticing things about people which is really fun because it makes you suspicious of everyone when you see there's a lot of a lot of red herrings totally changes the vibe of the movie in this way where i enjoyed it so much more because you did i did not know that part of the movie was sort of a mystery. A serial killer kind of thing going on. Yeah, sort of murder mystery type thing. So you're like looking for these little clues and go on, Emily. You were going to say.

Yeah, no, it's the best. But I think that speaks to the writing and how, and the character that Kevin Koster plays that you could see him kind of finding holes in the house and then in her staff. And there's this one guy that I guess is her manager or something. and I thought for sure he was the guy. Oh, sye. We're talking about sigh? Yeah, because he, the way he kind of like stroked the bed

when he went, somebody masturbated on the bed, and then he was stroking it, and you saw Kevin Costa go, ugh, like, you got to go. I didn't notice that. That is gross. I noticed it. And then I went, this guy's definitely the guy. Like, and it was it.

Yeah, there's a few different suspects. Yeah. One of them is this manager's side. Nicholas Cage from long legs. Yeah. No kidding. Yes, there's Nicholas Cage from Long Legs in it. And then there is possibly the driver, possibly the sister, who says these words, you know, she has everything, which end up being also the thing that the stalker wrote.

Right. And then there is Mike Starr. Mike Star. Mike Star, famous character actor. You might know him as the giant. from a cabin boy or you might know him what else is you from?

My thing from him like, oh, that's the mob guy from dumb and dumber. The mob guy from dumb and dumber. Yes. He has played that guy for maybe 30 years now and he once again crushes it as that guy in this movie.

I'm not sure what his job is. I guess former head of security. I think he's just security but he's the worst at his job. He's terrible. He's very bad. Why was he just not fired? I don't understand.

It reads is kind of like maybe he's like a guy from her like neighborhood who she hired and he's kind of like a turtle or something. Yeah. I like that. Okay. Where he like, because he's always like, I care about her. I care about her. But so yeah. But yeah.

And you also think maybe he's like a obsessed weirdo who was trying to kill her. From entourage. Oh, yeah. I was like, is that? I was like a turtle, man. I don't know. He kind of looks like a turtle. He looks like a little head in big body.

Yeah, of course, I'm such a huge entourage head that I assume when I say turtle, no one thinks of the animal. They think of. Let's hug it out. Let's hug it out. And finally, Lloyd. That's something else I know from archauch. I had a roommate who used to watch it. Okay.

Sure. Lots of suspects. I haven't seen a lot of autos. It's just what my roommate was watching. I don't have a lot of entourage. I have no shame about that. I've seen all of entourage. Are we going to watch that for a bonus episode at something?

All right. Not from me. Oh, yeah. Not from. Oh, yeah. All right. Okay. So they got a stalker problem.

A lot of stuff. We don't know who it is. Kevin Costner. He's got it. The whole cutting out magazine letters and stuff. And they go, a lot of work went into this. I'm like, did it? It's decopage.

Yeah. I wrote that down too. I'm like, I don't think so. I could probably bang out a threatening letter to Whitney Houston. Definitely. 30 minutes. You write it out first and then you then you cut the little letters out. And also, if you really want to be efficient, you just cut a lot of letters out like when you're doing nothing and then you have them organized by letter.

Really easy to do. And then you get some mod podge. And sorry, I just, anyone who wants to write a manifesto or something like, you know. Hit me up. Hit me up. I can help you with that. She's got a lot of manifesto life hacks. Yeah, I know there's a forensics guy who's analyzing one of these letters.

A lot of work went into this. No, it didn't. A lot of work didn't go into the prop. Like, this is the... Anyway. It was a PA, kind of put that together on the lunch break. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

But yeah, so Kevin Costner, he decides he's going to do it. He's going to guard her. And she's got, she's like, I can't quite tell what this event is that she's supposed to be going to. It's at the Mayan, a great old theater in L.A., who I think just closed question mark. Yeah. know though.

Or maybe got bought by somebody. I hope it stays open and you can still see concerts there because obviously it's like it's awesome. It looks great in this movie. It's such a cool venue. But yeah, it looks supposed to look like a Mayan temple. So yeah,

she's, it's like some sort of preexisting concert that she's like dropping into to do her new single. It's like, what is this? But whatever. Maybe it, maybe this actually happens.

I don't know. Yeah, like promotional stuff for a small or like an album release that's like for, you know. Yeah, but it also seems Like your biggest fans kind of But then there's a charity dinner happening to Is this the same time?

No, this is different This is like This is when she like She's wearing like her cloak Right She's wearing like her O.P. Wan cloak Yeah, yeah Yeah, it's like

I have cloaks in this People love cloaks and films Listen, Secrets of Nim Great cloak Cloak I don't know. All clook movies. And then a cloaca could count.

I don't know. Sure, there's some birds. We've had quite a few chickens and movies. Yeah, a lot of birds, a lot of talking birds. One hole. I mean, the hat that she's wearing in this, could this be the worst hat? That silver, weird headband dome thing?

If you want to call it. You know what? Let's go ahead and call it. Yeah. The worst hat. Hey, while we're calling stuff, I do think Mike Starr is probably the tallest guy, right? This guy's huge.

Easily. There you go. Hell yeah. You have some more thoughts on the hat, Emily? Yeah, it looks like a thing like from, I don't know, existens or something where you'd like put it on your head and it would send you to another dimension. And like someone takes it off of her at one point. Well, yeah, we'll get into that. So yeah.

So she goes to this concert, drops in, yeah, removes the cloak, shows off her kind of like future outfit. This looks really cool. I watched this movie and I'm like, I wish there was like better, cooler musical numbers in it. They're all a little bit whatever. The music is good. The songs themselves are great. But I'm like, hey, let's have a big kind of crazy music. Anyway.

With good dancers and all that shit. Yeah, I know. It seemed like that would be a fun element here that they don't really have. There's some kind of musical numbers, but they're kind of quick and they look a little cheap. It's like they wrote it out of the budget by making every live concert she does be someone else's concert that she's just dropping into. Yeah. Instead of like her on tour or something like that. I guess because that would cost more and maybe they spent all the money on waiting. That should have been the sequel.

Oh, yeah. Her, him having to follow her on like a world tour. World tour. Oh, I know. Yeah, kind of while they never did a sequel to this movie. It was the like second highest, highest gross movie behind Aladdin of the year. Wow. Well, you know.

Bodyguard too, actually. Is there? There is? But it's a sequel of Bodyguard one, Tony Jaw film, which is a martial arts movie. Well, there was, I watched a soundtrack. A little clip of Kevin Costner talking about that he was, there was going to be a sequel. I really do think he was a producer. He seems to be like, because he was, there was going to be a sequel.

And he was friends with Princess Diana. And he had talked to her about doing the sequel. Oh, my God. And him being the bodyguard for the real Princess Diana. And she was like. And I sleep with you and I have sex with you in the movie. Well, no. He says, and I don't know if this is true.

You might be stretching the truth. I mean, there's no way to confirm it now. But, like, he said that, you know, we can make sure it's not a romance movie. It's just about me being your bodyguard. And so she goes. And he goes, but, well, there won't be any kissing. And she went, I'm fine with the kissing. Wow.

And she went, things are going to change for me soon. And it was before the divorce. No way. Oh, I thought it was before the car accident. Well, yeah. He's talking to her ghost. Oh, yeah. She's like, I'm going to die soon.

He should be grateful that they didn't do that sequel with Princess Diana because then it would be like two movies in a row where in real life both the person died and then be like, what a shitty bodyguard. Yeah. It's a good thing he made Waterworld instead. Oh my God. And that was when he was

really clinging to that hair in Waterworld. Which I wonder if I think Prince of Thieves was after this maybe, but boy, if we get to do Prince of Thieves guys, ooh. Oh, yeah. That was big one for me.

Big movie for me. I love that fucking movie. So, yeah, so this concert that she drops into turns into a total, total shit show. And then he has to like, people just kind of mob her. And then he has to kind of drag her. He has to kind of pick her up and drag her out. And that's the poster and that's all the like parodies. I love it.

Carrying her. I mean, that's one where I like saw this scene. I'm like, I feel like I've seen this a million times. Yes, yes. like this clip and these images were just like so huge. So yeah, he takes you home and and this is kind of like what makes her fall in love with him. So kind of like afterwards, he's, you know,

he goes like running with her and she's like. Okay. Yeah. Can we talk about that because she goes, she's jogging and goes, where were you? She goes, I bet you didn't know I jog. And I'm like, I'm like, what the fuck? That's, there's nothing.

It was very anchor man. Like, you know, this is called jogging or jogging. Like, she talks about jogging like it's just been invented. It's new. It's really funny. And I was like, yeah, you're very slim. I would think that you probably jog or something. Right.

But he's just like, wow, you're not like other girls. You jog. Jogging, you say, tell me more. You go like this? Stationary women. Yeah. They who either walk or sprint. There's nothing in between with the women I date.

Ball walk, yes. There's a scene here before this where he's eating an apple with a knife because that's what tough guys do. Yeah, yeah. Apples with knives. Honestly. Cool guy. Yeah. Yeah, it's the contrast, you see.

It's the, you know, lame pussy-ass fruit. Yeah. Apple, but the cool, manly ass sharp thing. Knife. Yeah. That's cool. And he has this, like, really great. I also eat macaroni and cheese with a gun.

Because I'm tough. And I kiss my sword and sleep with it at night. Yeah. I'm going to eat this apple sauce with a grenade. He has this fight with Mike Star that is really like funny because he's just not, he just doesn't have to try and beat the shit out of the sky. It's so funny. He's just so effortless and like really beats him up bad and just does not break a sweat. It is very roadhouse.

Like, they're like, you're kind of a little guy. And everybody keeps saying that. And it's like, he's 6-1. He's not little. I don't know. And I forget the line he says at the end, but it's like a completely silent fight. There's not a single word is exchanged between the two of them. And at the end of the fight, I think it's Kevin Costor says something like, I don't want to talk about this anymore or something like that.

He goes, I don't want to talk about this again. Yeah. I don't want to talk about this again, which is a great, just a perfect line. It was so good. Yeah. So, yeah. So she kind of like asks him out and they go on a date. They go to see a classic samurai movie.

It's called Yojimbo. And the English title is the bodyguard. Oh, way. And then they go to like a dive bar and eat hot dogs. And I'm like, what a fucking screenwriter fantasy of like, I'm going to take her to see a classic samurai film and to eat hot dogs and to show her my sword. and then she'll be so horny she won't know what to do. It was so strange to me because I was like,

oh, is there like a moment in which those like characteristics were actually cool because everything that they're showing him doing is something that a really nerdy guy would think is cool, you know? I don't know. If you look like Kevin Koster and you're actually... Yeah, I guess you kind of do whatever you want. Sure. If you actually are by the guy. I think if the guy had a neck beard and a Ninja Turtle hoodie.

He probably would not sleep. But these are, but so funny, because yes, these are like total nerd guy. Here's how I'm going to fumble the girl moves. To be clear, this is, everything he's doing is actually cool, objectively. Oh, yeah. People don't consider it cool, you know, because if you're hot, you don't even have to have a personality or have seen Kurosawa films. Yeah, no, I am, oh, Kurosawa, is that the Bear Naked Ladies song? Uh-huh.

That's what's from. That's what he was named after that. Akira Kirwasaw got his start as the subject of a bare naked lady song. Yeah, yeah. Went on to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. We've never watched a samurai movie. We should do that. Oh, I'd love to.

Oh, yeah. That'd be great. Next time it's free with ads. Let's do it. And then I can really understand the lyrics to that Bear Naked Ladies song. Yeah, we should watch every movie referenced in the Bear Naked Ladies hit one week. We could watch a Sailor Moon movie. There's some Sailor Moon movies.

Aquaman. We could watch Aquaman. Sure. Okay. Which ones? There was a bad Aquaman TV show that's from like the 2000s. That doesn't surprise me. Yeah, I think we should watch that.

I kind of like the Jason Mamoa ones. Yeah. I thought they're okay. The wigs, questionable. Yes, questionable. A lot of wigs. A lot of wigs. We'll get into talking about the wigs.

Oh, yeah. We'll talk about the wigs. The wigs will not escape our critique. Actually, I didn't bring this up in our bonus episode, which you should go to maximfund.org slash join and listen to our bonus episodes. Thank you. But we did one about Matt's suggested favorite show. Downton Abbey.

Wigs were great in that movie, in that show. And I don't know why the wigs were so, do the British, are they just better at wigs? Because the wigs nowadays, looking crunchy. They got grunchy out here. Yeah. And I think it's, you know, where are you putting the budget of stuff? You know, I think like this movie, you're like, you know, probably Kevin

Koster got a lot Whitney Houston got a lot so some of the concert scenes look a little bit cheap it's like where you I mean if you're down in Abbey you got to like throw that budget into wigs.

That's right. That's where the money goes. So they're dancing. Yes, it looked like a fun date. That's a date you take me on for sure. I'm like hot dogs, yay! Like you know, yeah.

So they, yeah, so they go to this kind of like country dive bar and they do some slow dancing and this is when the first, the first time we hear, I will always love you. It's not Dolly Parton's version of it.

I know. What the fuck was it? No. In fact, it felt like they made a lame recording of it just to contrast how good Whitney's would be later in the movie. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think they didn't want to reference another, like another artist. So they put a generic singer in there maybe. Or they maybe had to pay too much for it.

I don't know. But it was strange that they ended up playing some other version of. I will always love you. Maybe they didn't want to compare them because people would be like, well, I really like the original. That's probably true. But also it's like,

I guess Dolly Parton in this, in the bodyguard universe does not exist. Oh, could be. It could be a yesterday beetle situation. Oh my God. By the bodyguard is a yesterday. You heard it here first. So yeah, and she's like,

this is kind of a cowboy song, right? And it's kind of depressing. And anyway, but this is, then they kiss and we get a, We get no proper sex scene. Boo. And then they kind of wake up, wake up in bed in that classic, you know, 90 sex scene, post-sex scene way. We're like she has the sheet draped around her boobs, you know.

And she looks beautiful. She doesn't have any drool on her face or anything. So she's obviously, you know, like very, very into him. And he's like, this can't happen again. This can't happen again. and she's very mad at him, but it keeps him on because she's just got nominated for best actress. That's right. She's also an actor and got nominated for an Academy Award.

So they have to like, he has to guard her during the like promo tour for this movie and at the Oscars and stuff like that. So yeah. So they go to a banquet in Miami and the like intro music to them going to Miami is the entertainment tonight theme song. Right. That's what I thought I was hearing. There's a little John Tesh voiceover where, I mean, that was the signal at the time that she, you know, was big in Hollywood as John Tesh was talking about her. So, yeah. And I'm like, in this movie filled with great music, is the entertainment tonight theme song the hottest banger? It might be. It's great.

It was such a, it was such a strange moment because I was just. like, is she on entertainment tonight in this particular? Like, is that what that's supposed to be, a clip from entertainment tonight? I think the idea is that, yeah, they're just to give you a sense of how huge she is. Okay, okay. And again, maybe they would have, like, filmed it if the budget was different, but it's just you hear John Tash. Just hearing the music was incredible because I was just like, all right, cool. It's a good-ass song, dude.

Does Entertainment Tonight still exist? Oh, sure does. But it does. Yeah. But it still comes on after like the local news, probably. I don't think they'll ever get rid of it.

I don't watch TV. Maybe we should. Maybe we should watch real TV channels. I can't imagine. Yeah. Entertainment tonight's still on. It is hosted by not John Tesh,

but two other people who seem great. Sick. Yeah. Congratulations to other people. So yeah. So on this tour she is trying to like make him

jealous. So she starts like flirting with another bodyguard that's there that he knows. She has a type. It's bodyguards. And so like in this party they like, she and the other bodyguard guy kind of like disappear and he like gets

handsy with her in this like closet and she has to kind of like fight him off. And then kind of Kevin Costner realizes that you know he can't keep his eye on her everywhere she goes and he kind of like descends into kind of weird jealous madness there's a part where he's looking for her and he just beats up a random like

a fry cook that's on his break i hated that i forgot about it's really rough yeah it's like he he's looking for her and he like wanders in the like the back where the kitchen is yeah and sees this guy it's it's like a janitor some shit and he just beats up a janitor and then his wife comes in please don't hurt my husband please don't hurt my husband it was really depressing yeah totally I know it's a real bummer. Wow. So, yeah, so the, like, solution to her, you know, kind of disappearing and the stalker letters are getting worse is like, we're going to take you away. We're going to take you, you know, somewhere people can never find you.

So, like, her and the son and her sister, who is still kind of like acting a little creepy, they go to his dad's cabin. That's another, like thing of, like, come with me to my dad's house. the most romantic, erotic place possible. It is like Aladdin, but white people that it's like, I can show you a thing. A barn. And like, I could show you a barn. Take you to meet my daddy.

Here's a hot dog. Bet you've never seen one of these before. And you can watch me play some chess. Here's my... A new location. Different from the rest of the moon. movie. Anyways. Just so you know, there's lots of snow.

That's how you know we're in a different place. Here's the white guy shit. It's like, but you never seen this chess before. Yeah, exactly. Wow, let me watch you play chess. How erotic. Okay, so this is kind of where the big finale of the movie takes place. Let's take a break here and we'll talk about the rest when we come.

I'm back. We're back. It's free with ads. We're talking about the finale of the bodyguard. So at Dad's house, we learned from Dad that maybe Kevin Costner's wound.

Like the reason he's so squirrelly and doesn't stick around is he was part of the secret service for Reagan. And wasn't there the day Reagan got shot because he was at his mom's funeral. Wives funeral.

It was this, yeah, they said Catherine. So I'm assuming he was married. I don't know. Yeah. I also don't feel like we got the whole backstory for that. Sure didn't. It's guilty because some lady died and so then Reagan got shot and he never forgave himself.

It's really crazy because they won't quite make it clear whether or not he, the person who got shot was his wife. I guess you're supposed to assume so, maybe his first love. Don't really know. They make it clear multiple times that he is mostly torn up about the fact that Reagan got shot. Yeah. And so watching the movie, I'm kind of just. just like, all right. Can we like, I just don't, I don't like when my hero is sad that Reagan got shot.

You know, it's hard for me as a viewer. There's a personal thing where I'm just like, okay, I get it. You know, maybe the day of, you're like, oh, damn, wish I was there. But then you get over it. Yeah, you didn't even die. Exactly. And look at Jody Foster. She's stoked.

Right? That's why I did it. I'm on Jody Foster's side. Yeah, for sure. But yeah, it's like, the thing. he does mention that he also worked for the Carter administration. That's true. So he's not there.

Yeah, he's apolitical. He's apolitical. But like, yeah, I think it's just, it's more that he sucked at his job, this one.

He wasn't there to do his job. A man. Yeah, he's a man who he defines himself by, by, by his job. He's a bodyguard and he did not guard the body. He also,

can I say, like, no, um, like, what is it, discipline at all? He banged her,

so fast. Totally. I've been, this is where I really had, I was trying to understand my own feelings about it. Because on the one hand, I was just like, well,

she's the one employing him. So technically she's the bad guy. Yeah. And then, but on the other hand, I was just like, also for someone who's obsessed with being a fucking bodyguard,

you sure gave in quickly. Yeah. Like, come on. Your whole thing is like, oh, no, I must be perfect. I have to protect the president. Well, the thing is,

she jogs. She jogs. So he couldn't resist the jogging. I guess so. I guess. But yeah, it's hard because both of them, you're like,

both of them are dereliction of duty a little bit over here. Yeah, I think they could have built up the chemistry between them a little bit more. Yeah, maybe,

maybe. But I will say, their chemistry is pretty great. Oh, their chemistry is pretty remarkable. Like it's, oof, oof, they got it.

Oh, my God. So, so at the cabin, weird danger stuff starts happening. Yeah, this kid's crazy. This non-swimming kid takes the boat out in the water. Everybody freaks out. Kevin Costner, his solution to the non-swimming kid taking the boat out is knock him off the boat.

It's really wild. So he like jumps in and knocks the kid in the water. This like rope boat or this like a motor boat is still like going around. I'm like a propeller is going to fucking hit somebody. Oh, God. And yeah, he pulls him out of the water. but apparently that crazy thing that he did was right because the boat fucking blows up.

Someone put a bomb on the boat and like cut all the brakes to the cars. Cars don't work. Phones don't work. And he's like, well, let's stay the night and we'll go home tomorrow morning. It is fucking noon while they're having this conversation. Go home now.

If there's a way to go anyway. But the cars don't wear. Like, no, we just got to wait here where the lines have just been cut. But their cars don't work. Where people are blowing. Yeah. So it's like there's bombs.

Yeah. Yeah. Reattached the brakes. I don't know. Figure it out. You're a bodyguard. Call the police. Like bodyguards are not the cops.

So it's like, I don't know. At some point you got to fire Mike Star too. Let's be real. Was he even there? Love him. No, he's not. But I'm saying it's just like, yeah, I guess this is technically not his, you know, purview, but still, I feel like a lot of people have been getting

through to the house. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. So, um, so kind of we, what we learn what happened is that there's a killer after them because the sister hired one. She's like, I went to a bar in East L.A. and I talked to like a guy and he hired the killer. I don't know who the killer is and the killer won't stop until he's. I don't know what bar it is. He goes, wow. She goes, I was really stoned.

This is the flimsyest fucking part of the premise in which There's a killer on the loose who I can't stop. I've hired him and I can't ever get in touch with him again. This was really weird. I was like, did we need this? It was almost like they were like, we just want people to not be able to guess where this killer, like what the deal is with this killer.

And it's like, that's not while we're watching this. Like, we're watching it because we want to see these two people make out. Like I don't. So, but the sister also, it's like, God, I didn't really build a. up very much that she hated her this much. I mean, I thought they made it pretty obvious, at least

with the, you know, the comment about like she has everything. The way in which, um, you could just sense a few lines she had earlier on were like just, I don't know, very jealous. You could tell she was jealous of her sister. I was like, okay, so they're trying to kind of suddenly build a case that she might be the one who's going after her. I thought they did a good job of setting her up. The problem was that the payoff was that she one night got so stone that she ended up at a bar and met a hitman and said, kill my sister and gave him the money and never is able to contact him ever again. That's the stupidest idea. It is.

And also, my sister would kill me herself. She wouldn't need to hire anyone. So I'm like, I would think it would be more a better choice to go. The sister is the killer. She's the one who's been writing all the notes and stuff. And freaking her out. Yeah. Like make her that.

But also like there is a scene during this where because her sister's also a singer but not that great. And she's because like, she was like, I'm a singer too. And I'm like, are you? I heard you singing that song and I'm not really impressed. She also apparently plays the guitar. There's photos for her playing the guitar. She should then, you know, lean into that. Yeah.

But so she was sitting there singing like this gospel hymn. Yes. And then Whitney Houston comes out and just overshadows her when she's trying to sing alone. So good. In the woods. And I'm like, oof, yeah, that is rough. She can't even just sit there. I would try to kill her, too.

Like, can I have anything? Like, I'm just sitting alone on this porch. And you have to come out and fucking overshadow me in front of the trees. So, yeah. So there's, um, so the sister hires this hitman who we don't really see. He, um, he kind of creeps into the house and he kills the sister. He thinks the sister as Whitney Houston kills her. like a little shootout with Kevin Costner,

but the guy escapes on a snowmobile. So the guy's still out there. But Winnie Houston has to go to the Oscars. So our next big scene is at the Oscars. It is at a theater where the Oscars absolutely do not take place. And the Oscars take place in a mall with the Dave and Busters. That's true. That is a glamorous movie theater.

And I'm like, where's the Dave and Busters? That's where the Oscars actually take place. Someone told me that it closed and I will die. The Dave and Busters closed? Well, I'm going to look that up because I love that Dave and Busters. It used to have a, what was Cabo Wabo? Oh, yeah. Sammy Hagar's Camp Camp Campo.

That didn't stick around. There's also a weird comedy club in there now. Oh, yeah? Yeah. There was a Hooters comedy club. Oh, no. Wait a minute. Is that related to Hooters?

Yeah, I mean, sometimes they get those too confused. Oh, I don't know what it is, but it's a newer one. But yeah, I love that shitty-ass mall. It's like, it's just, there are so many empty little spots. But it's like, well, you could go to Victoria's Secret and Sephora and Dave and Busters, and that's it. So it's at this kind of fake-ass Oscars. Robert Wool is the host, Arliss himself. And he's gross.

He's like telling the grossest jokes. In this world where there is no Dolly Parton, there's also no Billy Crystal apparently. Right. And he's telling just generic non-showbiz jokes. One of the ones is like, the New York economy has gotten so bad that the mafia laid off five judges. I'm like the New York economy, why are you this? None of this makes sense. The jokes would be about Hollywood anyway.

Right. Yeah. And then like he's doing crowdwork about people's like speeches at one point. Like you can hear it. I was intently listening to the joke writing on the fake Oscars host played by Arliss. And I was just like, dog shrews. shit guys you know at this point you actually can just hire a writer yeah you know yeah just i mean i understand blanche is out there you can give him a thousand bucks to write some actual

hollywood jokes yeah they should have gotten like a stand-up comic like to do it i mean listen the fact that they got ar list was probably a big get in this universe in which there's no dolly pardon or billy crystal yeah but i just think the joke writing was shit yeah it was dog shit uh so it turns out that the hitman is posing as a camera guy. Billy Crystal. Kevin Koster, wouldn't be great if Billy Crystal was the body card? Yeah,

doing wrong parodies. That's the parody we want. Kevin Koster finds him, shoots him. We see that the kind of creep guy who had been writing the letters of, yeah, very long, legged looking guy who's seen a couple times

as just kind of like in the crowd and, you know, maybe isn't really responsible for any of this. He's just a red herring. He's just a red herring. Well, I guess the cops had, like, gotten him and figured out that he's not the killer. There was something about that. So I don't think he's, is he the one writing the letters?

He is. So the letter writing and the hurt getting assassinated are just unrelated. Right, right, right. One is just a weird stalker. The other one is a hitman hired by his sister on a drunk night. Jesus Christ. I've never gotten stoned and been like, I want someone dead. I mean, especially not family.

Yeah. When I get stoned, I think I'm the funniest person alive. And I'm not. I like write down stuff in a notebook and I'm like, ooh, that's a good one. And then I wake up the next day and I'm like, Jesus Christ. Also, how low are your standards as a hit man that like one drunken lady can come up to you? Go like, kill my sister. And you're like, okay.

Like, dude, you are so, you're going to get caught. You're going to get caught. But also, if you took the money and she's like unable to contact you anymore, just don't kill. steal someone. Right. I know, right? You can just take the money anyway. It's such a funny way that you're like, yeah, you could just run.

That's a very good point. Yeah. So yeah. So that's kind of the end of the movie. We see them kind of on a tarmac later. She's leaving on a plane. He's got a little arm slaying to show that he had been injured recently. Yeah, he took a bullet for her.

He sure did. He jumps in front of the bullet, the camera guy. He took a bullet. And it was beautiful. And it was the assassin that harassed her at that event in Miami. Yeah. And he was also a bodyguard. Yeah.

So this was a bodyguard. Kevin Costner knew from before. So, you know, he had previous experience with this person and realized he was there on a different job. It was bodyguarding. It was body killing. And it was a gun that was inside of a camera. Yeah. But still with a laser pointer, which I love that.

Yeah. Someone will notice, right? That's a good movie tech sting. Yeah, sure. What was it? We got tech. Fake film tech. Fake film tech.

Fake film tech. So yeah, so she gets on the plane. They kind of decide that they're going to separate. But then she tells the plane guy to stop. Yeah. And she gets off and they kiss. And then. A weird movie kiss where the shoulders cover everything.

And can people learn how to kiss good? Like there's, I don't know. I think movie kisses, I've seen some good ones. but it's rare to see a really good movie kiss. And then we kind of get a shot, this kind of ambiguous shot of him guarding like a senator. And we're kind of not sure. Are they together?

Are they not? We don't know. I think they're together. I do too. I kind of thought that that's where they left. Do we think he should have died? I like the, I think there's stuff I like about this movie and stuff I don't.

I think the ending's pretty good. I mean, I kind of like that it's ambiguous. and, you know, it's a pretty, like, yeah, classy way to go out. But, I mean, I think there's also a very, a more weepy version where he dies and it's beautiful. I think the ending should have been he dies or they end at the kiss. But him being at a senator's thing. Yeah. It's a little arty.

It's kind of, you know. It's so dorky. I thought that was their way of making it clear that they were not together, that his first love is guarding bodies. I just thought it was really weird because then the movie. The movie ends at the most awkward image of Kevin Costner just kind of going, and in there going, I'm a bad, and then they leave the image up for like 10 seconds while the credits are going.

They're like, no, there's a great freeze frame. Keep it up all of the credits roll. It's the most unflattering photo of him. It's just like, hi. Yeah,

I think they're like, oh, this is kind of like a 70s, a paranoia movie or something. I don't know. It's the JFK movie because he did JFK that movie. So he's been a bodyguard. He's semi-bodyguard. He loves it.

So yeah, that's when we get, I will always love you over the credits. And yeah, hey, the movie's over. That means it's time to talk about the hunk watch. Oh yeah. It's hunk watch. There's only one.

Any huge thoughts on the hunch? It's Kevin. It's Kevin Costner. He is my hunk watch in life. like I have such a crush on Kevin Costa, which I think he just had a divorce. I'm not sure if he's a good or bad guy. I haven't really looked into it.

Let's not think about that. All that matters is he's a hot guy. But he hot guy. He's like, I want someone to pick me up. Matt's the only dude who's ever picked me up before because we did it in an episode of Good Mythical Morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or Good Mythical Weekend where I went,

nobody could pick me up and you went, I can pick you up. And then he picked me up. And I was like, wee! I'm a little girl because I'm a big lady and if I'm tall and big and nobody can pick me up I pick you up though

you did you did it's definitely it's Kevin Costner I mean yeah I think it is for me that that's clear Stone cold I will go ahead and give it to Whitney Houston who I think is awesome in this and like and just her like seducing him is really sexy

and it's like you know the character's a little underwritten. But she makes everything out of it. And she does. Yeah, it's great. And as you mentioned, Emily, I think them going from not liking each other to being totally into each other happens pretty quick. Yeah.

But you kind of believe it just because of, I think, her acting goes a long way with that. And she's terrific and that's wild that it's her first movie. It is wild. Yeah. Okay. Those are the hunks. We're going to tell you what we thought of the movie overall when we come back. Hey, we're back.

It's Free With Ads. We're going to tell you what we thought about the bodyguard, but first we want to remind you about our bonus episodes. Yeah, that's right. We like shows. That's our bonus episodes that you can hear by going to maximum fun.org slash join. As we mentioned earlier for this particular episode of We Like Shows, we watch Downton Abbey as per Matt's request. It's my pick next month, so I'm going to make sure it's something good. And yeah, you don't just get to hear

We like shows, but all our bonus episodes, we've done a ton of free with ads TV, Twin Peaks, Frazier, Twilight Zone, all of this stuff, tons of fun, maximum fun.org slash join, and maxfundstore.com if you want to pick up some merch. Yay. The bodyguard.

Let's rank it on a scale of one to ten super loud commercials. Matt, you want to go first? Yeah, I'm going to give this a nine. Okay. I know that's crazy, but it far surpassed my expectations in terms of what this movie was. It was legitimately entertaining. And the chemistry between the two, that's, I think, was the unexpected thing for me because I thought the movie, you know, seemed, I don't know, kind of schmaltzy.

Yeah. At least, that's how it's been played in popular culture. So I couldn't imagine that the two of them would work so well together. and it was incredible. Like to the degree where afterwards I was like, did they actually fall in love? And I was like trying to find proof of that. And there's a lot of fan theories.

You know, a lot of weird parasocial people online who are just like, oh, if only they had been together in real life, he would have saved her. And it's like a lot of insane stuff. But I'll admit I kind of went down that rabbit hole as well. And I love them together. It was really fun. Great movie.

Nine. Emily, what you think? I loved it. It was entertaining, but the weird murder plot stuff was just so weird that I kind of had a tough time with it. The first half of the movie is banger. Like, it is, like, so good. It was better than I thought it was going to be. I was like, this is really, like, well written.

I kind of love it. But then it felt like they didn't quite know what to do with the, like, murderer like storyline so they just threw it to the sister which was so weird I don't know um so I'm gonna give it like a 7.5 I really liked it but there was some like it was almost like showgirls kind of stuff going on at the second half you know in show girls when she just like walks in and murders a guy and you're like where that fucking comes from like it's like yeah it was kind of going out of nowhere sometimes if you just start killing people that's that's fine yeah but I mean the acting like is killer. It's really good acting. The music is amazing and the chemistry between Kevin Costner

and Whitney. And we love Whitney Houston. I'll watch her. I would watch her do anything. I know. Yeah, I was maybe a little less hot on this. I think it's like a six for me. I had a fun time watching it. Fun to like actually see this, you know, like super iconic movie that I know from parodies and pop culture. Fun to actually sit down and watch it.
