In the future, we're all pussies.
Thank goodness Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes
are the bullshit up and fuck their future women.
We saw demolition, man, so you know what that means.
Now it's hard for me.
I'm gonna have a good town, celebrate a failure,
not just be a beta, because you know you wonder, how did this for pain?
The floor in the mediocrity of sub-bar arts.
Perhaps we'll find the answer to the question,
the question of this campaign.
Hello, people of Earth!
Hello, New York!
We are live at subculture.
We have a beautiful space here on Bleaker Street.
We have an amazing show for you, but first let me introduce my two co-hosts.
Please welcome June Diane Rayfield.
And Jason Manzugas.
Thank you.
Very special guests here tonight.
Please love on Wyatt Senac.
Welcome, everybody.
Demolition Man, a movie made in 1993
posits a world that in 1996
shit has gone terrible wrong.
The opening of this movie,
This is like a weird cliche that bugs me.
It's like, the Hollywood sign is just on fire.
Oh, yeah.
And it feels to me like the filmmaker's like,
oh yeah, it's always on fire.
It's not like that was like that was.
Yeah, because there wasn't like a fire in the hills.
No.
Like nothing else around it was on fire.
Like just the letters.
Yeah.
Well, I feel like every year, at least when I lived in L.A.,
there was always this is the year that the Hollywood sign
is going to be torn down and people would fight to save it.
And it's like,
If you watch all these movies, no, nobody wants it.
No.
Nobody wants it.
Let her go.
Yeah, these clearly these politicians are like, no, I've seen Demolition Man in like 800 other movies where the sign gets burned down.
You guys don't want it.
We get the message.
We hear you.
Also, why are our politicians watching Demolition Man?
Most of the best politics that happened in the 80s, most of Clinton's administration was made off of Sylvester Stallone, Joe Silver.
Almost all of Antonio Villaragos' campaign promises
were from Demolition Man.
Prop 8 was Demolition Man?
Guys, Prop 8 is dead.
Yeah.
And you know why?
Because the Demolition Man came in
and destroyed it.
Lit it on fire.
I thought that DOM was like Demolition Man.
I don't know what the O stand for,
but the D&M was going to Demerzeman.
Yep. Absolutely.
So, 1996,
Things are bad, so bad that one of the airline,
one of the helicopter police pilots goes like,
hey, remember when they used to let commercial airlines
land in Los Angeles?
Like that, what about when the city was on fire?
Like, that's the one thing he's regretting.
Like, oh man, remember that.
When commercial airlines would land here.
Like, that's a weird thing, all right.
I thought that was good.
Well, by the way, in that first scene when Stallone
alone throws a rope down and just shimmies down to the ground.
He doesn't shimmy.
He jumps out of the back of a helicopter and yells with Phoenix.
First he says, send a maniac to catch one.
Then he jumps out screaming Phoenix.
Phoenix, I'm Sky fucking you.
Also, at this point in the movie, though,
you don't really know who Phoenix is,
like where are Phoenix is?
So to just see him yelling, screaming, Phoenix.
Well, that is, like, there's the problems with the beginning of this movie,
which is he runs out, he does, like, basically,
the world's best bungee jump,
and then immediately goes into killing mode.
Like, before he lands, like, oh, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
That's the thing is, he bungeys out,
and he never goes back up.
He bungeys out to the ground,
and he's like, click?
He just jumped to like half a mile.
He lands and he misses no one
and then proceeds to have a mental knowledge
of this abandoned warehouse
as if he has studied it his entire life.
It was like, ah, yeah, it's like going to mom's house.
I know that.
And meanwhile, it's revealed that he's been chasing Phoenix
for two years and he finally found this place.
So this is the first time.
There's no recon on this building.
No, he lands on the ground,
shoots everybody,
and as if he is, like,
has the map in his head,
goes like,
boop, bupup, pop, pop, pop, pop,
and, like, Wesley Snipes is like,
boop-da-boop-da-bo-bo, wait, what?
And then Stallone is like,
ah, I'm here now, I got you.
And I was like, at what point
is Wesley Snipes not, like,
there were like 400 dudes
that I feel like should be guarding me,
but you got through all of them instantly.
Basically, the beginning of Demolition Man
is the end.
of an awesome movie
that we did not see.
I want to see the two years
where, like, Wesley Snipes
moves to L.A.
Then somehow works his way up
in the L.A. like underworld.
His family is murdered
and so having nothing to live for
he takes to a life of crime.
Then build the wall all around L.A.
Set shit on fire.
He goes to that beauty shop,
gets his hair dyed blonde.
One of my favorite
moments too is like
he's like we're those people on the bus
and he's like and Wesley Snipes
has kidnapped has abducted
a bus full of regular people and he's like
I told those bus drivers
don't come into LA
but those bus drivers won't listen
it's like that is
their job beef is with the bus
drivers of Los Angeles
and by the way they're just doing their job guys
yeah they are just
shepherding us from place to place
in the most humiliating vehicle known
demand.
These bus drivers, like, that's Wesley Snipes's anger.
He talks so vehemently about these bus drivers, like, they can't come in here.
It's like, why?
Like, they're not threatening your drug empire.
They're just dropping people off.
I don't know why they would even want to be dropped off in a city that is on fire.
But if they want to, they're doing the job.
Also, he's a guy, he's clearly wasteful, because very early on, you see him do one line
of Coke, but leave two behind.
I'm just like
I'm going to come back to you guys
when I'm ready
Yeah
You don't go stale
How about this
At a certain point when Stallone is entering
And Wesley Snipes
Realizes Stallone is going to enter
He punctures these gasoline tanks
So there's gasoline all over the ground, right?
And so Stallone comes in and he's like
I got you or whatever he says, right?
Relax everybody relax
And then Wesley Snipes is like
Ha ha ha you're standing in gasoline
Lights a cigarette and then says
What does he say? Something about like you're going to go up in flames or whatever
Some one-liner then he
Oh he says it's cold in here
Oh yeah let's turn up the heat or something
Yeah yeah okay throws the cigarette
Flames erupt everywhere okay
But he's also standing in flames
Yes okay so he's standing in gasoline
So flames are like
Right all Stallone does
The only thing that happens to Stallone is he drops his guy
He's like, oh, that's hot.
Oh, the steel got so hot in my head.
Oh, God.
But then he just jumps right out.
If it jumps onto his,
he's fighting, nobody's on fire.
But I'm confused.
Did the gun get caught in the flames
and that got too hot to hold?
Or did he just get scared
and throw that gun down?
Because that's what it looked like.
I hope it's B.
I don't know.
It looked like he just, like, freaked.
There's a lot.
That's what you don't see
when he's in the helicopter flying past
the Hollywood sign burning
is that he's like, oh, can't look, can't look, can't look, can't look.
Tell me when we pass the fire sign.
Tell me when we pass the fire sign.
I would love it if there's a, if in this movie
there was a thread that is like fire
is his snakes to Indiana Jones.
Why did it have to be fire?
He's part Frankenstein monster
and he's afraid of fire.
The launch move is basically
like a football player's tackle.
It's just sort of like,
just lunges
at a guy he has guns
and he has knives on him
but it's just the
it's a tackle
but he also
I realize like
he does a lot
in that movie
of the sideways
jump and shoot action
before John Wu
it's like it was
three John Wu
but that it seems like
for the 90s
like the three point stance thing
that we see in movies now
was that's what it used to be
was like the sideways
like goose cooosh
one leg up
yeah
the one thing I remember about this movie most clearly
and it's not even about the actual movie
is I used to go to Planet Hollywood all the time
under the guys
I would be like, Dad, take me to Planet Hollywood
that's where the celebrities hang out
What?
I was naive
but I also met Anthony Michael Hall
so I was also right.
Nice. Jokes on us.
Nice.
I thought you said celebrities.
It was pre-denial TV show.
I'm starting to beef with Anthony Michael Hall.
And I remember always wanting to eat
under the Naked Stallone demolitionment
because he gets frozen in this movie
and it's like a block of ice,
but it's kind of just naked Stallone.
Really? And I just thought that was so cool.
It's like he's in there.
Wait, and that was at Planet Hollywood?
Yes, a big, like, giant, like...
You guys are okay?
like six by eight foot
circle with like a Stallone
dummy inside.
You know what they should have done is they should have had a table
that was that. You should have been
able to use that as a table.
And then when you would eat your fries you could see his junk.
Yeah. I have a feeling that there is someone
who has that now and it is a table.
Oh yeah. It is.
That would be the best table of all time.
Guys, let's all chip in and get one of those.
Well, because once
Planet Hollywood shut down, all that shit had to go
somewhere. Yeah, someone had to buy Axel Foley's jacket.
Yeah, I'm sure that they weren't like, hey, so
Planet Hollywood shutting down, uh, Smithsonian, you guys,
you guys want Stallone in, in ice?
You guys want a bunch of garbage?
Yeah. I mean, we're loading it up on the truck and driving it down
to you guys. We were just giving you a heads up to move
the Millennium Falcon.
There's a great line at the beginning of the movie said by the
police chief in
leave the weapon
who like there
after he captures
Phoenix
and he's like
hey enough of this
demolition man
shit
like that's
Stallone's ammo
that he just
demolishes stuff
well
keep this in mind
okay
in the opening of this movie
upon capturing
Phoenix
the entire building
both
explodes
and crumbles
to the ground
like
in
seconds.
And they get away.
And they walk out of that.
But if you were to understand why,
it was because Buzzyside's punctured
a couple cans of gasoline.
Yes.
Well, I thought it was also like a chemical factory.
Guys.
Oh, all right.
Maybe it was.
That brings up something I really want to talk about,
which is the events of September 11th.
Oh, brother.
Well, here's the crazy thing.
Stallone goes to jail because the hostages were in the building,
but nobody thinks to ask, like,
wait, did they die?
now? Like, did they
die from this explosion? Or were
they shot in the head? Because we learned
later on that they wore jets.
Major spoiler alert. Major spoilers.
They were, they had been killed
by Phoenix. But by a way, how did he kill
them? By the way, a very harsh
sentence for a police officer
capturing, like, the world's
worst criminal. Like, yeah,
he, like, that guy started
the fire. All he did was knock him out of the window
and he's like, oh, you're under arrest. Why? He made a tough call.
He made a tough call.
But it would be like, in my opinion,
it would be like if Stallone said,
fuck it, we'll blow up that building,
then it would be a tough call.
Wasn't snipes with the building.
He just escaped.
I love, you're going to jail for me.
I love that you have injustice.
You have a sense of like,
there is an injustice at the center of this movie.
An American hero is tried and sentenced to jail.
He is the only man who could find Phoenix.
He tried to take down a terrorist
and in the, in the, in the,
As a result, some innocents died.
Those are lives lost in the service of a greater good.
Well, what makes it, what makes it,
what makes it worse is the fact that
Wesley Snipes, as he's being taken away, is like,
I told him, I told him there were people there.
I told him there were people there, and he said he didn't care.
He didn't care.
That's witness testimony.
Send him to ice jail.
Amazing Wesley Snipes impression.
But by the way,
it's as if, like, the cop,
yeah, we believe you, Wesley Snipes.
who has taken over Los Angeles, over a cop,
like who is a hero.
But also he's a maniac too,
because it takes a maniac to catch a maniac.
Sure, that's true.
That is true.
Well done.
Thanks for constantly.
Why is it back, everybody?
Why is it an act?
By the way, we've only cracked into the first three minutes of this.
By the way,
I do have a question.
The credits have not yet happened.
No.
That's true.
has a cold open.
So, but are we to understand
that he's been sentenced to jail
forever?
No, for 30 years.
Oh, 70? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Okay, 70 years.
In the same jail that Scott Peterson
was apparently frozen in...
Yes, I pulled up a screen grab of that
as they're going through their records.
Hey, what? I didn't catch this.
Yeah, as they're pulling up their records,
I can show you right here. This is all the people that are in jail.
Oh, that's amazing.
Scott Peterson
also had his parole hearing
at 8.15.
By the way, why would they listen
like that? It says 7 a.m. Hyde Quentin
8.15, Peterson, Scott, 7.30, Phoenix, Simon.
It should be the other way, right?
No, no, in the future...
That was evening.
In the future, nothing happens in order.
That was an evening parole hearing.
They kind of knew that the Scott Peterson
won. He had a lot to talk about.
So they both get frozen
And this is before
I think people even understood
what cryogenics were
Because they basically put
Stallone Han Solo like
In a cube
And then fill it full of water
He seems to be choking
Oh it is just
It's a very disturbing sequence
He's like pinning up
He's also naked
No need to be naked
There's no like real sign of like
Life signs
Like he's drowned
Yeah
In what we're to believe, like, oxygen goo?
Like, I don't like, he's drowning.
There's no way that he's...
Oh, his lungs are filling with some sort of gloopy liquid,
and then they drop, like, a freezer thing in,
and it all freezes, and he's like...
It looks like a terrible way to get frozen.
That's for sure.
Hans Solo had it easier.
The fact that they didn't say, so here's the thing,
just lay down and put your hands on top of your thighs.
They were like, no, we're going to put you in a weird hot tub thing
and do whatever you want.
Make a face.
Do one of those guys.
Whatever you want,
however you want to be frozen.
That's your last choice.
Like, that's the last thing.
Because he is swimming around in there.
He's like, because there's a point
when the water, the goop is filling up.
He's like, whoa, hey, whoa.
Swip inside.
He also seems okay with it.
The thing that really bothered me
was that he wasn't like, hey, this isn't cool.
I'm a hero.
Yeah, and when someone, I don't know,
I don't remember if it's smithers, there's an officer name smithers.
When someone's telling him, like, what he's going to jail for and listing off, like, all of the charges, he's just, he refuses to hear it and keeps on saying skip it.
Yeah, skip, yeah.
Just skip it.
But like we all said in 1983, skip it.
But the vibe, though, is like he's been down this road a million times.
Like, he knows what's going to happen.
Even the parole officer was like, hey, man, real bummer.
I hate to do this, too.
I hate to freeze you for 70.
But my job.
Like, he does say something.
Like, I'm not going to be a fan.
And apparently, that's like, cool.
Yeah.
Like, no biggie.
And by the way, yeah.
Oh, gosh.
Again, the first five minutes we are cracking into.
I feel like Wesley Snipes was like,
I'm not getting naked and you're not filling up a confined space with me.
Although he's in that trailer you played,
there is Wesley Snipes in Ice,
which we never see in the movie, right?
Yeah, maybe his trial was quick.
Guys, crack that code.
So when you're frozen, though,
like hair doesn't grow on your body
and your body doesn't age at all?
What's this now?
Well, he's got, he suffers from, like,
below the ears alopecia.
That's either below the ears alopecia
or, like, he went to a barbershop
and had two different people working on him.
Because he's got half of a box
that's like, there's a fade that's not,
finished and then he's like
you know what never mind diet diet just
diet blonde I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here I gotta commit
heinous acts of terrorism
he can't spend all day at the salon
we cut to 2032
life has changed
it is good
big time apparently we all dress like
Nazis yes
Nazis are extras
the police the police are bad extras in
Star Trek next generation
it's like everyone's just like
gynid like
Big, Chloe dresses
and, like, plate hats.
Welcome to Obama's America.
They don't say phone.
They call it a fiber optic.
A fiber optic you back,
which is odd. Yeah.
Because that doesn't even seem like...
No, they've just added...
Because they've got no violence, they've like,
we got time to kill, so let's just throw
extra words.
Homicide? No, it's a murder death kill.
Is this a car I'm driving?
No, it's a conveyance.
My conveyance is driving.
We're getting in the conveyance.
And murder, death, kill.
I've thought about that a lot.
Me too.
Murder, death, kill.
It's redundant.
Murder, there's never a murder that doesn't end in death.
So you can just rip the death out of there.
Killing is also murder.
Yes.
So you could just say kill, because that would I
imply death and murder.
You could just say murder
when it implies kill and death.
But you don't need to say murder, death, kill.
Yeah. Okay, okay, Paul.
Murder, death, kill.
Sylvester Stallone,
John Claude Van Damme,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, go.
I'm going to murder Stallone,
I'm going to kill Schwarzenegger,
and I'm going to death Wesley.
when we cut to
232 we're with
Sandy Bullock
and she is like
a uniformed police officer
Her name is Huxley Brave New World
Nice reference
Who is deep and it's smart
There's so many references in this
Did anybody else notice in the first thing
Salone punches a guy who's dressed like the Terminator?
Did anybody else notice that?
Right?
There is a guy who's
dressed like, yeah, there's this too.
Oh, yeah.
And there's a Schwarz-a-Degger
reference later on.
There is.
Wait, do you think that Wesley Snipes
dyed his hair because Joe Pesci had done
it in lethal weather?
Oh my God, that's amazing.
I did want to talk about this.
Wait, do you think that's Joel Silver being like
Joe Pesci's blonde hair worked?
We're going to do blonde hair in this.
Blonde hair is cool.
Basically, just so you know people at home,
that St. Brook is a big, like,
20th century fan.
so that's why her office has
a lethal weapon three poster
not even the best
like the one of the worst of the lethal weapon
Whoa whoa whoa
Hang on bro
Yeah
Like it's so weird
Chili peppers because they've definitely
lasted the chili peppers
carried over to 2030
2032
And there's a little
Joker
She's just obsessed with the 90s
Like
There's nothing wrong with that
But he keeps on saying
she's obsessed with the 20th.
And what about this one?
The great, they're like, oh yeah,
chili peppers, leave the weapon,
and a poster for the band,
bomb.
Hate,
fed love.
What?
Like, I feel like that was
Joel Silver's kid.
Yeah.
And he was like,
we've got to get into,
we've got to get into a little bit.
If we put just a poster
in the movie,
we'll move some units.
But she,
she is a uniform police officer
in 2032,
just driving her crew,
like her police
or on, and calls the prison warden.
She calls the prison warden to say,
hey, hey, warden, how come there's no crime?
I'm bored.
She's a police, like, just a regular,
it's, it is crazy.
She's looking for action,
though she knows she's going to get it.
Here, I will say what's kind of,
what they did predict was they did predict the iPad
because the warden has an iPad,
but it's just got like a shiny, silver,
frame. Steve Jobs, a lot
of people, you think, Steve Jobs got
the inspiration for the iPad from this movie.
That's, he got...
Trisdor. Before he died, he said that.
He said it as he died.
Watch Demolition Man.
All the answers for Apple
products are in Demolition Man.
And then X's over his
eyes, he's dead. Well, that's why they
included the script in that Jobs book.
It was a script. Yep, yep. The last
the last, the appendix of the
John's book is just the script for Demolition Man.
So, so prescient.
That's going to be my favorite part of the Ashton Coochard movie is,
because in the movie, they show him watch Demolition Man,
but they don't cut.
They just show him watch the whole movie.
And it's just him jerking off to Demolition Man.
Because everybody knows, Steve Jobs jerked off to Demolition Man.
That's where we're at.
It is proven.
And you can download this podcast on iTunes.
He's been ripped off iTunes immediately.
So anyway, oddly, Wesley Snipes has a parole hearing.
For a mass murderer, seems odd.
Seems odd that he's getting a parole hearing before Stallone is funny.
Wasn't he sentenced to eternity?
But yet they still run parole hearings just in case.
Like Stallone accidentally killed 20 people.
He still has 40 years before a parole hearing.
Snipes gets one.
He gets out immediately.
No explanation how.
Because he breaks out of cuffs.
He doesn't do anything.
Oh, no, no.
That's because they programmed him.
Yeah.
The bad guy programmed.
He would have to be sentient to a computer to unlatch it.
Like, he didn't do like, blah, blah, blah.
No, he knew the code word.
The guy says, how'd you know the code word?
Oh, code word.
Yeah, he said whatever.
He said, like, ditty pants.
And then it was.
something that fucking
silly. It was like, didly pants
and then the handcuffs
opened up. And then they say, how did you know the
past one? He goes, I don't know. And that's why he's
able to use all the cats. Like, he goes up to an
ATM and it's like,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like as if... Do you mean a
self-esteem machine? Yes, exactly.
Okay, yeah.
Well, Elizabeth Snipes
very quickly. By the way,
I feel like Wesley's, I would like to look
at the script because I feel like Wesley Snipes
improvised. Every line.
Every line.
I feel like he was like,
yeah, I'll be in this movie.
If I can't,
if I don't have to say
any of you dumb words.
There's a scene
when he was just speaking
in Spanish
and I happened to watch
a DVD last night
and the audio director's commentary
was on.
He's like, yeah,
it wasn't to start
doing the scene in Spanish
and we thought it was funny
so we just let him do it.
I was like, I'm proven right.
That's crazy.
Well, like that's like
he talks to the parole officer.
I love that you just said,
and for some reason
the director's commentary was on
as if you didn't turn on
director's commenting.
He couldn't figure out the DVD.
We couldn't figure out the DVD for you
I think. I don't get that old shit, man.
I'm about Netflix instant and Hulu Quote.
Oh, I'm about streaming.
Yeah.
So.
Here's what's really weird about this movie, though,
overall. This is just a general comment.
It's the macro point?
Yeah, I'm going to take it macro for a second
because it's so, like you don't know exactly
what you're rooting for.
like there's this new society and it is violence free but there are certain freedoms
like the freedom to eat fast food that have been taken away from us June haven't you
heard Dennis Leary's rant from his standout special?
There are a lot of problems so but you're put in a position though you're put in a position
where it's like as an audience member you're hearkening back to the better times of 1996
which was like mass violence hey but don't we wishing for here but at the same time
there are people today who are like,
oh, it was so much easier in the 50s.
And it's like, not for me, it wasn't.
Right.
Absolutely.
I don't know what you mean.
I don't know what you mean.
If you are unclear about why people are upset,
here is Dennis Leary's rant,
which is at the height of Dennis Leary being a stand-up,
and I feel like they're like,
do your thing, man.
Just have to move on.
And Dennis Leary, just, you know,
Dennis Leary is like,
Like, a society has been, like, is rid of violence, and everything's great and glossy and funny.
And Dennis Leary is, like, the leader of the bad people that live underground, like, in a kind of matrix revolutions kind of scenario.
They're bad, but he's like a Robin Hood type figure.
And by the way, their graffiti is amazing.
It's unbelievable.
And what they write in one of the first scenes in the movie is just simply life as hell.
Life is hell
And by the way, they have a
Anti-Graffiti machine
Which they show out works
But it's just like poles that shoot out of concrete
So I don't understand how that the graffiti disappears
It just seems like
You wouldn't get it, man
But meanwhile
It wasn't snipes uses it to beat up people
So we'll jack up the volume a little bit
Because these clips are a little bit low
But here you go
This is Dennis Lier's rant
See
According to Coteau's plan
I'm the enemy, because I like to think.
I like to read.
I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice.
I'm the kind of guy who sits with a greasy spoon and wonder, gee.
Should I have the keyhole steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs
with a side order of gravy fries?
I want high cholesterol.
I want to eat bacon and butter and buckets of jeans, okay?
I want to smoke a cubit cigar the size of Cincinnati and the non-smoking section.
I want to run through the streets naked with green yellow all over my body reading Playboy magazine.
Why?
Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, palae.
I've seen the food.
You know what it is?
It's a 47-year-old virgin sit around in this baby.
Pachamas, drinking a banana, broccoli shakes,
thinking I'm an Oscar Meyer weeder.
You look on top, a little cocktail's what.
What he wants, when he wants, how he wants.
Your other choice?
Come down here.
Maybe start with that.
And then he breaks into his hit song,
I'm an asshole, right?
That was that, like, that song that he had,
like, we did a stand-in material during the song.
The other great part of that is that,
go back to that for a second.
Jack Black is one of the underground dwellers.
Oh, really?
Yeah, go to the very end.
Go to the very end.
I saw it in the credits, and I was like, that's, yeah.
Wow.
Oh, amazing.
That is awesome.
Three Bob Roberts.
Oh, wow, that's awesome.
So that's the villain of the movie.
So basically...
Wait, that's the villain of the movie?
Well, I mean, he is because basically Cocktoe, the new...
No.
Oh, Paul.
Cocktoe is the villain.
Well, but I'm saying
Cocktoe says he's the villain.
Hey, Paul, why are you listening to Cocktoe?
Yeah.
The guy created a great San Angeles, guys.
Hey, man.
I'm starting to think you're part of Cocteau's plan.
Whatever.
I like wiping my ass with three seashells.
No big thing.
That's another, like, weird thing.
Like, why would you over, why would you flintstones it?
Like, why would you go from,
toilet paper to seashells.
Because according to Stallone,
he said, he asked the director
and is quoted as saying,
it was explained to me the seashells.
You hold two of them like chopsticks,
and then you pull gently and scrape
what's left behind with the third.
What?
So you are like,
you're going, it seems way more
to have a shit in the future.
Wait, but how is it cleaned?
Wait, what?
You're going chopstick style
and you're getting the middle,
vlog of crap, you're pulling
that out, and then you're taking the third
shell, and you're aware, and get that on...
We're talking like...
Right, like this?
A pull and a wife.
God, they didn't even know about
the Cotonnell soft wife. That shit is
so much more... But you can't...
When you say you hold them chopstick style, so you hold
two C-shells with one hand?
Yes, like that.
And you're getting in and you're pulling it out.
But we saw the C-shells. They were big.
They were big.
big and they were very clean
so you'd have to wash the shit off
of these Z-sheets. Like, who
was like, oh yeah, that's actually more convenient than
paper that I used once and done in the toilet?
That makes no sense. Also, if you're somebody
like, because it was how
it was, like, they're like 80 year olds
who should be alive during
this time who were like, wait a minute,
no, toilet paper, there was nothing
about toilet paper that made us a violent society.
Like, toilet paper.
if anything, kept us from being a more violent society.
Why, in your utopia that does not involve the rest of the country?
Yeah, what is it happening with the rest of the country?
Do you get rid of toilet paper?
And also, can we have the word homicide back?
Because it's really murder death kill.
The best part of murder death kill was when the computer reports like a 187
or like the code
and they're like
well what is that
I don't even know what that
well let's look it up
look up one eight so
oh it's a murder death kill
don't you think it's a police officer
you would know exactly what that
thing is
so basically
you know we don't have to get
into the big part of it
Stallone's unfrozen
Wesley's Snih's Unfrosen
they wreck a lot of havoc
in the future
basically Futurama
yeah
and
wow I didn't
I didn't realize there were so many Futurama fans.
But there aren't.
Cancelled a second time.
Really?
Really? Really?
Then you should have watched.
By the way, I don't mean to...
Here, I will say...
I don't mean to get back into the shit talk,
but there is a moment.
Sylvester Stallone is unfrozen.
They bring him right to the police place.
He gets in a uniform.
form right away. He's fully
a cop and he's like
hey, yeah, to sand a book. By the way, you're
you had a toilet paper. So that
means that he's walking around with shit in his ass.
No. No, no, no. He was holding a shit.
He didn't go. He didn't go. Because then
he swears a bunch. He
swears a bunch and every time you swear
you get a ticket. So he swears a whole
bunch so a whole bunch of paper tickets come out and he goes
thanks, I'll be in the bathroom.
Here's a weird thing. Did you think
he was just going to go read those in the bathroom?
like a newspaper.
I was talking
and was like
oh damn
there's no toilet paper
all right
I can go out there
tell him the problem
then get a bunch
of tickets
and wipe my ass
like he just pulled
up his pants
real quick
so he's got
he's doing that
scene for shit in his ass
hey Paul
how are you living
what do you
do you live like an animal
like do you not
check if there's
toilet paper
before you go
I think he was like
I've been frozen
for 40 years
I got this
goo coming out of my ass
because it was all
up and all everything
I need to like
shake this shit out
I can't hold it in
Oh, there's no toilet paper.
And I'm freaked out.
I got to go out there.
I'm embarrassed.
This girl's kind of cute.
I need to wipe my ass.
I've got to be cool with her and just whisper.
Let me ask you this, Paul.
Also, badees.
They had badees in the 90s,
and somebody was like,
oh, but, no, I figured out a method.
I found three seashels.
Three metal seashels, they appeared to be.
Paul, I have a question for you.
Yeah.
When Stallone was frozen, he had a family, I think.
Oh.
Yeah, he did, and when he asked about that family,
here's what he was told.
And then I have a mind-blowing question afterwards.
Okay, great.
I think we have the same question.
I think we all have the same question.
Yes.
I think we all have the same question.
By the way, if you are a fan of someone.
I'm just going to, should we just go say?
Sandra Bullock is 100% his daughter, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's no other way.
Yeah.
Sandra Bullock is 100.
percent his daughter's.
Yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No, no, no, no.
She knows.
No, no, no.
She knows who the daughter is.
No, she doesn't.
She doesn't let her look it up.
She's about to look at up.
She's like, I can look it up.
And she's like, no, no, don't do that.
Because then when I fuck you, it'll be weird.
Oh my God.
This is like old boy shit.
Spoilers for old boy.
Yes.
Guys, you've rocked my world.
Right?
Right.
The minute that happened, I was like, oh, she's his daughter.
Then they had the sex scene, and I was like, whoa.
This is going to be really weird when they reveal that she's his daughter.
But it was just mine sex, so you could kind of play it off of like...
I was kind of okay with it.
But then you kissing her, and I was like, barf.
But then I all...
And by barf, I mean barf out of my wiener, I came.
But by the way, the way the movie ends, and spoiler alert,
It looks like he's going to go off with her.
Yes, his daughter.
They're together.
His daughter.
Come on.
This is a dystopian future.
By the way, there's no other explanation that's offered.
I am wrong.
There's no other explanation that's offered.
They spend so much time.
They spend so much time with where's the daughter?
Is there a daughter?
The wife is dead.
We know that.
But there's a daughter and blah, blah.
And I don't want to see the daughter because she won't like me
because I've been in ice jail.
But I want to fuck you, baby.
I should make sure you're not my daughter.
Oh, fuck it, who cares?
First thing I do.
One hole in this theory.
He was married.
His last name was Huxley.
Or his last name was Spartan.
She's Huxley.
How did you change her name?
Who knows?
I'm not worried about that.
She may be remarried.
She may be remarried.
Who knows?
His wife remarried.
And, by the way, it's like, it's a new society.
Who the fuck knows what happened?
I love thank you
thank you
I love we are 100% on the same page
he's fucking his daughter
yeah
that's what also seemed weird
when he was having mind sex
and he was like freaked out by it
it seemed like
like a horror movie
yeah that it was like
like he was like kind of into it
and then it was like oh wait a minute
this could be my kid
no I got to go
I really thought we were going to learn that
information and that we didn't
was very upsetting
This is sex in the future.
If you guys want to watch Sex in the Future?
The following scene is pretty amazing.
I let us go long.
Also, why do they fucking love jingles?
We'll begin in a few seconds.
Having sex, of course.
I want to talk to Sandra Bullock about this movie.
Stallone, again, great acting here.
Watch this.
What?
Not cool.
Oh, shit.
By the way, it's filmed like a horror sequence.
It's a horror movie.
This is a horror sequence.
Is this my daughter?
Wait a minute.
Oh, yeah.
We both have clefts in our chin.
What? What?
What?
Yes.
What's wrong? He broke contact.
Contact. I didn't touch you yet.
Wow.
Guys, that just happened.
That is, I think, the most graphic sense.
scene I've seen even though it's not graphic
it's like it's he's a
the zoom ins the zoom ins on his
face yeah look
because you never see him you never see him
and by the way this is a great
look in the future just the
the tuxedo vest without sleeves
or tuxedo jaggle about sleeves
yeah in a world where everyone
it appears as if he has a right sleeve
oh did it? No I think he
didn't have either sleeve but in
a world where like everybody's a fucking
wimp, like, the fact that they're like,
ah, but we're going to go sleeveless to show
off our muscles, even though we don't have
violence or anything like that.
I have a feeling they gave him, like, a full out of him, like,
I'm ripping these sleeves off.
You go, everyone who's past the leaves.
Like, I feel like he was like, rip, rip.
It's the same thing in over the top.
When the kid had a jacket, and he was like, I want this
kid to have no sleeves.
I do like, by the way that they
refer to Simon Phoenix that was his
nice character as maniac,
lot.
Yes, yeah.
Stand down, maniac.
Or, like, the maniac is not listening.
Yes, right.
That, like, why, that seems an overtly
confrontational term.
Oh, yeah.
Criminal maniac just seems like.
Or even just, hey, suspect.
Like, you know, why did they go in this future?
They, like, went zero to George Zimmerman.
Just, like, I don't know if you're the person
I'm supposed to be stopping.
but get on the ground maniac
get on the ground maniac
oh man and then so but
also the movie is based in his idea
that Wesis Nives needs to find the gun
but yet he steals a stick
from a police officer that when injected
into a car blows it up
well also you know what fuck the gun I'll take this stick that blows
shit up
and what is at the museum though the guns are
all in like a glass structure
and he behaves as though he's never
seen glass in the night
He gets excited about
Like a old school pirate cannon
He's like, ooh
What have got here?
Well, he was never
As a child, he was never taken to a museum
And that's why he turned to that life of crime
It says it really says something
About the state of public education
I'm just saying
Perhaps if it was a little better
You know
He had a good time at that museum
He was learning
Yeah, he went to like that school
that the kids in the wire went to.
And
then was like, oh,
this is going crazy.
So in the
world of Demolition Man, is there
a world outside of San
Angeles?
You would argue that that would be yes.
I mean,
well, we do.
We learned that there's an enormous earthquake
that kills everybody, basically.
A lot of lights were extinguished.
If Sandra Brooks
said and my mother was also killed in that earthpike it would have been good oh wait oh yeah
yeah yeah yeah she was so oh but no here actually this is why her name is huxley because her mother
died her dad's in jail she gets adopted she may she never knew her mom oh shit
Why, it's an act.
He leaves white in the show.
Two exits.
Two bold exits.
Oh, here's another thing.
When Stallone's trying to have sex with his daughter,
he goes, he goes, oh, we're not gonna, you know,
we're not gonna knock boots, we're not gonna hunk a chunka.
Yeah.
Hunk a chunker.
When was that a phrase?
Oh, it was between 93 when the movie was made in 96 when the movie is set.
Hunker Chunker.
Yeah, it was really gross.
My favorite...
I remember Color Me Bad, sang a song, Hunker Chunker.
Yeah.
One of my favorite things is once Simon Phoenix has escaped and they've thawed out Sylvester Stallone, they're like, okay, well, we've run the computer program.
we know what he's going to do.
He's going to, it is determined
that he will try and set up a drug lab
and start a new crime syndicate.
That's just his, that must be his plan.
And that made me furious.
Because I was like, you are fucking assholes.
If you think, like,
and Sylvester Stallone, rightfully is like,
you guys are assholes and I felt vindicated.
Also, do you realize how long
it takes to set up a drug lab?
lab. In this environment?
It would be almost impossible.
You have to even sell people in the idea of taking
drugs. Right. And find a drug
that they, like, you're not, you don't
have, like, weed or cocaine
available. Like, you're going to have to go
into a lab and
make some sort of synthetic drug.
You're going to have to do human trials.
You're going to have to make sure it's addictive.
They can't stop graffiti artists.
That's, yeah. It would be like saying
in this time, it would be like, he's going to set up
a loom factory and people are going to
go there and get tapestries.
Like,
it's like, wine.
And also, it's
going to take some doing.
Yeah. This is a seven-year plan.
His drug lab idea,
that's seven years.
That's a big world.
Yeah, that's a big chunk
that he's going to get into.
By the way, it's also a very,
yeah, low-tier plan.
So, but we come to understand
once, when's still on.
I'm sorry, they're always looking for him,
but they can clearly find him
because he curses all the time,
whenever he curses, the ticket comes out of the machines.
It's like, oh, you just follow the cursing machines.
Like, that's where he is.
They never use the cursing machines to locate him.
By the way, great point.
Great point.
We all...
I'm a better cop than Rob Schneider.
We all should go to the future and be future cops.
We come to understand that whilst alone was frozen,
he was conscious during that entire time.
Yeah, he definitely has that.
Oh, right, yeah.
Do you want to hear his model?
Yeah, I love to.
Well, let's take your point first.
No, no, let's watch it first for sure.
Here's a great dramatic monologue from Sylvester Stallone about his time in cryo jail.
I want to spoil your dinner, pal.
But my cryo sentence was no sweet lullaby.
I had feelings and I had thoughts.
How about a 36-year nightmare about people caught in a burning building?
You would awake?
I don't think so.
I do think so.
and my wife beating their fist
against a block of ice
that used to be your husband
then you were nice enough to wake me up
and let me know everything
that meant something in my life
is gone
except your daughter
take me down
and leave me to the fucking crows
what would you say
if I called you a brutish fossil
symbolic of a decayed era
great
I love that lady
by the guy from Beetlejuice
playing the same character
I honestly
I honestly thought the whole, like, her thing,
she wanted to fuck him.
Oh, yeah.
She, and I was waiting for that moment
where, like, he takes her into the,
into the Taco Bell bathroom.
She?
And it's like, I've done this before
in a Taco Bell bathroom, but never won this nice.
Yeah.
She is wet.
I oddly got the,
I guess, the European version of this
online.
and Taco Bell is replaced with Pizza Hut.
What?
But they didn't change it all out,
so there are some scenes that, like,
do you see a Taco Bell sign?
And then they say pizza.
It's like, let's go to this Pizza Hut.
Let's Taco Bell.
There's no Taco Bell in, I guess, far in foreign countries.
I went to college at the University of North Carolina,
and the one thing that I can take pride in
is that fellow alum, Dan Cortez,
was the piano player.
in the Taco Bell.
Combination
Pizza Hot Taco Bell.
Oh.
Whoa.
I like that.
I like that.
Yeah.
Portez is playing
on the piano
like Jolly Green Giant.
It's pretty great scene.
Jesse the Body Ventura is in this movie.
Where?
He's one of the thought-out thugs
that Simon Phoenix asks to be thought out.
And by the way, a huge question mark
on that one.
Only because,
Like Simon Feen's like, yeah, if you want me to kill Dennis Leary,
I got to get like a bunch of my guys out and they're like,
oh yeah, yeah, sure.
We'll release more crazy people in this world.
And then at the end of the movie, those guys are not captured.
They're probably forming that drug lab.
Oh, yeah.
But a few of them were talking about it.
Like, hey, we could really make a killing with a drug lab.
Also, do you know, did he ever thaw out Jeffrey Dahmer?
Because he was so excited about getting to meet Jeffrey Dahl.
Great news. John Hine is tweeting
about the show.
John Hine from the Howard Stern show.
He was just here.
I do know that
the police don't seem too worried
about Simon Phoenix being out
because at one point Benjamin Brad says
it'll just be a matter of TikToks
until we find him.
Again, overcomplicating the word
time. Because in the
future we use longer
and more words to say short things.
Here's that so confusing
about Sandy Bullock's character
she set up as
wanting to see violence and
action so badly but
the second it actually, something actually happens
she doesn't do anything
No. She just unfreezes
fine but she
her instinct is to unfree
someone else to get in there.
Yeah, right. Her dad.
Just her father.
Slash sexual partner.
I mean like there's an argument to be made
She wants to see action because it's in her blood.
Yeah.
It's in her blood.
Genetic.
That's why everybody else is docile and lame,
and she has the blood of John Spartan in her.
John Spartan?
She has the blood of John Spartan in her.
I think you're right.
Soon, she will have the semen of John Spartan.
She will have the semen of John Spartan in her.
Oh, wait.
By the way, this is an interesting point in this movie.
There's a part in this movie where Wesley Snipes threatened,
Scott Toe who's actually in on the whole thing
and we know that it's not a secret
and it's not really revealed in an interesting way
and he runs away
and then they like everyone just
kind of takes a break it's like oh yeah we're hunting
that guy anyway you want to come to talk about tonight
yeah let's go to talk about let's go back to your
apartment yeah like there's a long period
of time where wasn't his life he escapes
in the daylight we catch back up with him at night
and he's like all right here I am going down here
like there's a everyone just took time off
yeah he jumped into some bushes
and they were like
I'm not getting this
fancy new outfit dirty
he is dressed like
criss cross in this movie
he is full-blown
criss cross and
for whatever reason there's like a demolition
man logo on the front of his overalls
I don't know where I got that
it was from the cryo lab
yeah they all got those plastic things
yeah that's not a demolition
man logo that's like a
that's just something from the prison
I will say in the Dennis Leary underground teenage mutant ninja turtle sewer world,
why did the lady who made cheeseburgers look like Frida Kahlo?
Yes, yes, 100%.
She's alive and she's alive and she's been living down.
That's her own resistance.
Yep, in the future, in this version of the future,
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera live in an underground city.
And makes rat burgers.
Guys, let me just drop some facts.
on you about this movie and I want to hear your reactions
to him.
Lori Petty was originally cast in the role
that Sandra Bullock played.
Tank girl? Yes, and was
and after a few days of filming
was fired and replaced with Sandra Bullock.
Wow. A few days
so we don't know. So we have to get that footage.
It's Eric Stolt's Marty McFly footage.
I'm really like she probably
tried to get fired.
Yes, like, what the fuck? I'm fucking my dad?
Yeah.
The original movie was written for Stephen Seagal and John Claude Van Dam.
Amazing.
Van Dam was offered the role of the bad guy but didn't want that role.
He agreed to start it if both lead roles could be switched.
But Seagal was like, well, I don't want to play the bad guy.
So then that movie was scrapped.
Here's two other facts that are interesting.
Jackie Chan was supposed to be Wesley Snipes,
but Jackie Chan said he didn't want to play a bad guy
because Asian audiences don't like good guys
who become bad guys.
And then he has name checked in it.
Yes, because Sandoval is a big Jackie Chan fan.
Oh, interesting.
But in the European version, he says,
Bruce Lee.
He says Bruce Lee, not Jackie Chan.
Oh, interesting.
Here are two other things.
These are all, like, amazing facts.
Wesley Snipes kicks and punches
look lurchy and awkward
because he's such a good karate guy in real life
that his punches were so fast
that it blurred in the camera.
Oh, my God.
So they made him slow it down.
So it looks weird.
That's amazing.
And in Kuwait,
the movie was simply called
Rambo the Destroyer.
Rambo also name-checked in this movie.
Wesley Snipes gets guns and is like,
thanks Rambo or something like that.
And then Luke Skywalker is also named-checked in this movie.
There's a lot of pop culture references.
from the 1980s in 2032.
Also, I am wondering if in the Expendables movies
Sylvester Stallone wears a beret.
And I'm wondering if he just took the beret from Demolition Man
or if this is some kind of a nod
to all the guys and gals who went to Democon.
And where does that beret come from when he gets in?
Yeah.
No, it was in his ballroom.
He had a box of stuff.
With a, right, with, with yarn.
Yes.
Remember when he knit a sweater?
Remember when in one night Sylvester Stallone
knit a red sweater?
And by the way, by the way,
he knit an entire sweater out of like one ball of yarn.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how good the rehabilitation program was.
I really thought that that was going to be
like fully realizing.
that was going to be like paid off in a wonderful way, the final sequence.
I want to learn to knit now just so I can start an Etsy shop called John Spartan.
John Spartan, sweaters for my daughter-wife.
I want to, before we go out to the audience, because I'm sure you guys have some things that we might have missed.
I do want to play a scene that Jason,
which said that we should definitely play,
and I agree with it.
I'm going to pee while we do this
because it's too sexy for me to deal with it.
So, obviously, it was nice from the way he's dressed
is pretty hip-hop.
So they let's score the fight scene.
A little bit of hip-hop here.
So listen to the record scratches
during this fight scene.
Here we go.
Hey, wait for me!
I don't know.
Stupid.
Who ever made that, whoever made that turn, like,
It turns like, like, wika, wick, wick, it's like old, like, Cassio piano that you buy.
Yeah, and then you never hear it for the rest of the movie.
Never again, never again.
They, throughout the movie, they hired different people to score it, and then fired them.
Like, they would submit one song, and it was like, huh?
Get out.
And then another person, like, but we don't have the budget to have them rescore the whole, but just give, let them do the next song.
that's your song
Get out
Because even at the very end
Like when he's hanging
When Stallone's hanging
From the
Grabber thing
The music there is like
Weirdly like
Orchestral
But like fast
And kind of circusy
I feel like they
No one really knew
What was going on
But they were psyched that it was happening
Like I know
We're doing something
The best in this sequence though
when they cut back to everyone in the police station
who's watching violence, I guess, for the first time?
I mean, that's what I think that scene is about.
Like, they've never seen it.
But, like, so my question is they've never seen movies.
They've never seen...
Well, she's a 90s aficionado.
Right, but...
She must have seen some Stallone films.
Right.
I mean, no, she just has the poster for Lethal Weapon 3.
Well, and Rambo is talked about, so...
Did you use...
Did you use three C-shells in there?
What's that?
Did you use the three seashells?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I used three seashals.
But that also, that brings up a good, it brings us a good point.
There's a moment where, like, when the warden is killed, and they're like, bring him up on screen.
They show him dying, and they're all just like, huh, look that.
That's a shame.
Yeah, that's a bummer.
They didn't call for help back up.
They're like, oh, this is watching bleed out.
Okay.
Also, in 2036, I just want to, I just have to say, 2036, I think there's only two women.
on the police force.
Yeah.
Like, really, we like...
There's Benjamin Brad, too, and he's kind of a lady.
Like, they really built a...
Like, the end of the movie, like, they're together,
and they're, like, side by side.
He's like, fuck it.
And Dennis and he's like,
high five.
And they, like, there's a moment between the two of them.
Yeah, because he, like, gets dread,
like, they change his clothes.
They give him a makeover and rip the sleeves
off his outfit and put a vest on him.
No sleeves.
Yeah.
They put a vest.
Like, yeah, you're one of us now.
this, wear this vest.
There are obviously some things that we miss
and that's what we go out to you, the audience.
If you have questions, things that we might have missed,
things do you want to inform us about?
Oh my gosh, this guy has a question of.
All right, your name,
your favorite scene of the movie and your question.
Oh, he wrote it down on his iPad.
Here we go.
You mean on his fiber op.
Yeah. Read your fiber op.
My name is Chris.
You thought way too long.
I know.
Well, and he was reading.
Move on.
Move on.
My name is
Chris
What I was actually thinking about
is my favorite scene in the movie
because there's so many great ones.
I think it's the
Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Leotholepton 3
framing of Sandra Bullock's office.
I just wanted to bring up that the director
of this movie, which I had to look up because I was like
where did this come from?
I just want to read the first line
of his Wikipedia
about it.
Marco Vembrilla
is a New York
video collage and installation artist
known for his elaborate re-contextualizations
of popular and found industry,
which Vanity Fair praises as critiques
and masterpieces of visual overload.
Well, that...
That lines up.
Sounds like the guy that I want
directing demolition, man.
And by the way, this movie is not, like,
poorly directed, I would...
Are you sure about that?
No, I agree with you.
I mean, like, in the scheme, like, in the grand scheme of, like, the room.
Are you sure about that?
I mean, in that...
Did you see that sexing?
Yeah, you're right.
That's a pretty great video installation.
All right.
All right.
Your name, your favorite thing that Simon Phoenix did in your question.
Here we go.
My name is Tom.
Favorite thing that Simon Phoenix did was...
Actually, the opening fight sequence when he just goes crazy.
to hip-hop music.
And my question is,
it's more of an explanation hope, but...
Nice reference.
This guy gets it.
This guy gets it.
I was wondering,
the entire building does get blown up in the opening scene, right?
So how do they find 20 bodies in a matter of seconds?
Very good point.
Very good point.
They consider left out to the front maybe.
to the front, maybe.
There is in the front of the building.
Maybe the explosion.
I think Phoenix must,
here's what I think.
I think Phoenix must have
killed them by lighting them on fire
or something.
Because otherwise...
Put them in a dumpster
and they were going through the dumpster.
No, he froze.
Well, he froze.
He said he froze them
so that way because Stallone
early on is like,
I did a thermosc scan
and there was only eight people
in that giant building.
And he says,
the reason you didn't know
is because they were dead already.
When he froze them, he froze them
so that they wouldn't show up on a thermoscans.
The cops in Los Angeles
thought that Stallone froze these people to death?
No, no, no, that's what Simon Phoenix did.
They thought the explosion,
they thought that he was a cowboy
and went in and just with reckless abandon
caused the death of these 20 hostages.
And what they didn't know is that Simon Phoenix
had already killed and frozen the hostages
to frame John
oh I'm dying
I'm fucking
this is our lives
we try and make sense of this
for you
I'm looking for ladies
but here the last question about that
so the cops found them frozen though
the cops found the body's frozen
no because the fire
they've got flash right
they really did just take Phoenix's word
for that they were dead yes
that's the injustice
that I was complaining about
yeah you're right you're right
This is the kind of world I don't want to live in, 1990.
Okay.
Your name, what you would say to Simon Phoenix at his trial,
and your question.
You're a maniac.
Good.
Your name.
Is your name?
Okay, now what would you say to Simon Phoenix at his trial?
Two good questions.
Number one, if they're trying to underplay the sexuality so much in this society,
why did that girl, like, nude dial, Stallone?
That's it.
And who did she think she was dialing?
Like, what was that?
Yeah, the quick question was,
doesn't the liquid styrofoam for a fresh car
seems so much, like, more inefficient
and slower than airbags when that's...
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I actually thought that that safety phone...
I thought that that phone was a great idea, though,
because the foam protects the entire car.
Like, to me, there's no way
if you have a car that produces that foam
that you could ever die.
in a car crash.
Whereas...
What?
You would die in supplication.
It would...
It is filling the cabin
with something
that goes from soft to hard.
So you would be killed.
No, that's not what happens.
Goes from soft to hard, ladies.
Just like John Spartan
is broken.
It protects you inside of it.
It protects you inside of it
and then someone has to chisel you out.
Yeah, because you're dead.
No, you're not dead then.
I did think that the naked girl
was interesting.
like there is
like this is like the first like
sexting here's naked picture kind of
scenario and it's
a phone call appears and there's a naked woman and she's
like hey do you want to oops wrong number
but this is like the era where like
naked women in movies like started like went
on a decline a little bit it was sort of like
actually like I just put some tits in there like
that would be a fun scene right
because it was like so gratuitous
and even like there's no like they should just
I had no problem with that scene
your name
why you think John Sparton is a hero
in your question. Go ahead.
My name's Mallory.
Mallory.
It's a family ties quote, guys.
R-I-P-D-Ga-D-Ga-D-Ga.
Sorry, David Goldberg.
Great Scott Valentine's reference.
Thank you.
I think John Spartan was a hero
because he didn't let anything stop him.
Great.
I like that.
And I guess my question is that scene
where he's in the museum
and he's kicking the glass
and then I guess the museum guard
sees him and I guess I'm wondering
how socially stunted are they
that they can't like he's breaking
into the thing he's like
oh do you need help
and then he's like
oh how much do you weigh
and just chucks him
this movie posits that
30 years in the future we would forget
30 years ago so that would be
yeah right yeah we have no recollection
of what would that be like the
77.
Yeah.
So we'd be like,
yeah,
I don't know what happened
in the 70s.
I don't know.
Unless that earthquake
killed most people.
I don't think it did.
And then lobotomized
everybody else.
And just,
oh,
oh, information's leaving my brain.
It's one thing,
it's one thing to be like
we don't have crime.
It's another thing to be like,
what is crime?
You know?
Like, that's a tough,
like, that's a tough cell.
Especially for people that are in their 20s.
Which means that they were, like, they were born 10 years after this.
So it's not like...
Well, like his cop friend, his cop friend who was flying the helicopter at the beginning of the movie.
Like, nobody ever thought to be like, hey man, you lived through this.
You were a cop then.
This, like, you don't remember what a 187 is?
Yeah, why can't he be like, oh, no, that's a murder.
Right.
Death kill.
As you guys know it now.
And then they'd be like, shut up, man.
Just keep working on your little miniatures.
That's my third wire.
Is his Lester Freeman?
That's my third wire.
He's Lester Freeman?
By the way, Wyatt and I were talking about this.
I love that guy because the young version of him
was Agent Johnson from Guy Hard,
which is just, you know, look, I like that.
And I like that he's flying helicopters
in both movies.
He has a niche.
The problem is the actor who's the older version of him is like a foot and a half taller than the actor playing the younger version of him.
Well, after the earthquake, we all grew.
Oh, everybody gets longer.
Yeah.
Your question, your name, what favorite piece of future tech in your question?
Mike, my favorite pizza, future tech has to be talk about being every restaurant ever.
My question or my point is, you guys left out the part of the movie actually maybe have a closet and take a break and come back.
And that is the way people greet each other in the future.
Be well.
Oh, right.
They put their hands close
and they do a little circle.
Yeah, they go like that.
And then, yeah.
Someone's his face, but not.
It's very weird.
It's very karate kid wax on, wax off.
Although, you know what?
If we all did that, we'd put that damn Purell family
out of business.
Well, that's the thing is they also don't high five.
They come close to high five.
They are like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But instead we're all.
But instead we're all.
Physical contact with each other.
No, no.
Sex is outlawed.
because of the swapping of fluids.
Which we all understand to be disgusting.
Who has a good question?
Double hand raised. You have a good question.
Holy shit. What is going on?
Why is everyone, everyone's raising their hands?
Your name...
You okay?
Okay.
Your name, what you would call
the first movie that leads into Demolition Man
and your question.
All right, the movie that leading into Demolition Man
is probably a white man can't jump.
All right.
I like that.
theory.
Well, that's a trilogy.
And then after that, it's Major League, and then Major League 2 is pretty much happened
at the same time as...
Wait, so you're seeing White Man can't jump goes into Major League 1, Major League 2, and then
Demolition Man?
Yeah, basically, it's happening while Demolition Man's going on.
And then...
All right, we're off the track.
Here we go, question.
So, Mike, well, it's more of a point leading in...
Okay, so at the start, there's the fire going on, and then...
Westers-Sypeype says, is it me or is it hot in here?
hot in here and then or it's getting cold near and it throws the thing on the gas but at the end it's
like all frozen and cold and then so someone says isn't me or even cold in here and then that just
pisses off Wesley Snipes so it's kind of like they're going first like full circle and like well there is
there actually there is there is the parallel of the last scene there's another parallel about that
because Wesley Snipes says something in the beginning about taking my head off like he's like he's like
something, something, if you take my head off
and Stallone's like,
Stallone's like, oh, keep that in mind.
And then in the end, he takes his head off.
He kept it in mind for 37 years or whatever.
Well, he had a lot of time to think while he was alive
in that block of life.
I mean, people go insane in solitary confinement.
People go insane.
For 37 years, he's been awake
and comes out and he's like, let's get the work.
And at one point, asked to be put,
in a moment of frustration says,
put me back in the fridge.
All right, here we go.
Not even the freezer, just the fridge.
The fridge.
He wants a lesser sentence.
Okay, question, comment, name.
Here you go.
My name is Merlennies, and I'm not really good with names,
cars, but there's one scene when they're on the ground,
and they had this, like, awesome red car.
Like, how is these, like, poor people
had this awesome car, and how they got it down there,
And then how did they get it down there?
And it's like, I don't even worse, but that's my question.
It's an amazing question.
That basically the mole people had an elevator
underneath the Chevy dealership
that just in case they needed to escape a one.
We see them go down there a number of times.
The only way it seems to get down,
they seem to be able to get down, is through like a sewer.
Manhole covers. Right.
But also, but also with that,
Wesley Snipes runs away
and Stallone rather than
give Chase is like wait hold on a second
can you start that elevator up
because I really want to drive that GTO right now
like I know I need to stop this terrorist
that's like trying to kill me and everybody
but I want to give this thing a test drive
is that cool Dennis Leary
I know I'm supposed to be protecting you
but is it all right if I like I know
I'm going to catch him.
He's on foot.
There's no way.
I'm just,
just let me put the car in the elevator.
Hey,
move past Della Werta.
Move your fucking burger shop.
So I can drive in there.
Did anybody else think it was weird
that the Dennis Leary people,
the underground dwellers,
their way of checking in on the real world
is to have like a periscope
that pops out of the ground?
Yeah.
And that twice Sylvester Stallone
sees it randomly.
And it's like, hey,
What is that thing?
And everybody else is like,
what are you talking about?
And he's like,
well, I guess it was nothing.
He's a groundhog in 1996.
He was a great groundhog hunter.
And I was going to say,
this is my favorite part.
And when he goes underground
for the first time,
Sylvester still on lifts up the sewer grate
and goes,
smells like biscuits and gravy.
Yep.
No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
If it does, then that's a beautiful place to live,
but did not seem like a match.
Especially because then he manages to find a hamburger,
which he's been craving forever.
Uh-oh.
Nick Crowell just back.
Which, yeah.
Y'all done with show?
Where at?
Everybody texts Nick Kroll.
No, we're not done with the show, asshole.
Very close.
Very close.
We're not yet.
He eats a hamburger.
Turns out it's made of rat meat.
But you know what?
It's still pretty good.
He doesn't mind it.
Here we go.
This is your final question.
A lot of pressure.
on you to bring it home.
No!
We've got to get to Nick Crowe.
Guys!
Nick Hartley, you know.
We've got to go, guys.
All right, here we go.
Your name, what you would say
to Sylvester Stallone when he was
on trial.
Any of the question?
My name is John.
I'd say it's not your fault.
Good answer.
And my question is, could you guys
just briefly talk about
how Sandra Bullock
tries to say like these 90s phrases,
that says the wrong.
What's there to say?
After Simon Phoenix in a hole
and says I'm going to go down there,
I'm going to blow him.
Yeah.
I wrote down a bunch of those.
They're all terrible.
Again, like, again, no language,
like, language has not devolved.
No.
Like, I'm going to blow him.
I'm going to blow him.
She says, at one point she says,
it looks like you've meet your match.
What?
And she says, take this job and shovel it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By the way, if you saw leave a weapon, she would know that those are wrong statements.
To anyone who's, to anyone who is like over 45 in that society, they, like, they would know those phrases.
It's like you.
Sure.
Yeah.
Like you.
They have jingles from our time.
Right.
Why don't they have like a book of phrases from our time?
Also, why don't they have the music from our time?
They clearly have the movie posters.
The movies exist.
They have posters for the red hot chili peppers, but not.
But no music.
Yeah.
Was that, like, was that the end?
Like, oh, that's, music can't get any better.
Let's shut it down.
Shut down the studios, everybody.
We're not listening to music anymore.
Just jingles.
Old jingles, too.
Like, jingles from, like, the 40s jingles.
Yeah, not jingles from our time.
No.
Like, oldies is for them from the 40s.
Right.
But just jingles.
Yeah.
Not songs.
But not the, yeah.
And not, like, the good ones, like, by men.
Yeah, that's great, solid.
And you want to watch some deleted scenes
of Dan Cortez singing by men and you can see it.
Obviously, we had opinions about this movie,
but they're not shared by everyone.
Now it is time for a second opinion.
These are five-star reviews
told from Amazon.com.
People who felt very strongly about it.
There's some good ones in here.
This one's from JTS,
titled Beauty and the Cyro Cop.
I think she means like, well, I'm okay,
Cyro Cup is not right.
This isn't all caps.
Cryo? Does she mean cryo?
I think she means cryo.
It's spelled Cyro, though.
So, this family is always a constant
in these Amazon reviews.
Here we go.
All caps.
Sandra's sweet, innocent, takes the edge
off this tough guy film.
She is to Spartan,
what Adrian, spelled like Alderon,
was to Rocky.
The special effects are great.
Some of the dialogue lags at times,
but the strengths of the characters
carry this one through.
Check out the end.
Wow.
All right, Sandra Bullock wrote that review.
Sandra Bullock wrote that.
I own this title and have seen it 60 times.
Worth a sequel?
I think so.
Good fair.
Do you think any of the people
who listen to our podcast
when they hear about the movie
go and write five-star reviews
hoping that they might get picked.
I never take anything that's written
past like 2009.
Well done.
So that is...
So nice try, assholes.
I really like
this movie. A good thing about it is
there is profanity, but they don't
abuse it like they do in Pulp Fiction.
In that movie, they say the
airport so many times it loses
its meaning. Also,
Snipes is pretty funny at times throughout the film.
Five stars.
Okay, this is my...
I think this goes up in the pantheon
of, like, favorite Amazon reviews
because it really takes a turn.
From Geek Mom,
this is my most favorite movie ever.
There are so many quotes in this movie
that are relevant to today's society.
It's a great action flick
with some of my most favorite actors,
and the crazy humor in it
makes looking at what we're going through today
almost laughable.
I wish more people had seen it
and then they'll understand
what's wrong with today's Congress
and why they need to stop voting for progressives.
ASAP.
This is the kind of world we'd be forced to live
in if the progressives continued to thrive.
Nothing would be legal
and government would monitor
and pay for everything you do.
Truly frightening.
Five stars.
I will say
I will say
watching this movie
there was something about it
that felt like
oh yeah
if you listen to Glenn Beck
like Glenn Beck would love
this movie as like
oh this is the dystopian future
that like liberals want
because oh everyone
wears the same outfits
and there's only one restaurant
like you get like
there's no money anymore
and
I agree with it, but what we came from in 96
was so terrible.
Right, and in
96, that was Clinton.
Right. Right. That was,
like, oh, Clinton caused Hollywood
to catch fire, and then...
No planes to land
in LAX anymore. No commercial airliner.
Yeah. Like, everything
about the movie seemed like a liberal
complaint. Like, it sucks now that
Clinton's president. Everything's on fire
and then it only gets
worse.
We can't curse no more.
This movie asked a lot of questions
and did not do a lot of answers.
I feel like we got the bottom.
Would you recommend seeing it?
I know I would.
Yes, I recommend.
Strong recommend.
I mean, if the choice is that
are like winter's bone.
Demolition, man.
Demolition man.
Demolition man.
Even though Sandra Booth's going to get a winter bone, right?
Yeah.
With that John Spartan, ice dick.
And by that, we mean her father's penis in her body.
Also, Sting did the theme song.
Oh my God, you're right about that.
And I wonder if Sting asked, like, they were like,
hey, Sting, you know, Central Bullock's characters
like in the 90s things, we were thinking about putting up a poster view.
No, it's all right, don't do it.
Don't, don't fucking.
That's good, I'm good.
We really want to probably feature 10 Sumner's Tales.
Nope, that's fine, that's cool.
I'll get to keep it away.
Here's a red hot chili pepper
You sure? Soul cages? You don't want us to put
sole cages up? Nope, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm going to
continue having tantric signs with my wife. You can not
put any of my movies. Really? You sure? No,
soul cages? Absolutely not. Yeah, no, no, no, no.
I saw that tour, guys. Saw that tour.
Just saying. Do you think he does
the theme song in concert?
No, wait a second. Can somebody
settle something? Did he write it for this, or
was that a police song?
It is a police song that was appropriated for this.
All right.
Even worse.
Sting, you did it, you did it, you did it the best way you could.
Well, thank you guys so much for coming.
Give it up for everybody.
Wyatt Capp.
Thank you.
