Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:27 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.
Starting point is 00:00:52 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.
Starting point is 00:01:43 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.
Starting point is 00:01:59 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,
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:31 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?
Starting point is 00:02:58 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,
Starting point is 00:03:12 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.
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:04:05 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,
Starting point is 00:04:28 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
Starting point is 00:04:49 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.
Starting point is 00:05:09 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,
Starting point is 00:05:22 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:08 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
Starting point is 00:06:23 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
Starting point is 00:06:39 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.
Starting point is 00:07:02 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
Starting point is 00:07:21 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
Starting point is 00:07:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:55 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:27 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
Starting point is 00:08:42 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?
Starting point is 00:08:59 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
Starting point is 00:09:12 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 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
Starting point is 00:09:32 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
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:05 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:59 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?
Starting point is 00:11:20 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
Starting point is 00:11:38 Phoenix and he's like hey enough of this demolition man shit like that's Stallone's ammo that he just
Starting point is 00:11:46 demolishes stuff well keep this in mind okay in the opening of this movie upon capturing Phoenix the entire building
Starting point is 00:11:57 both explodes and crumbles to the ground like in seconds. And they get away.
Starting point is 00:12:07 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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?
Starting point is 00:12:34 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
Starting point is 00:12:49 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,
Starting point is 00:13:08 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,
Starting point is 00:13:21 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,
Starting point is 00:13:40 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:15 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.
Starting point is 00:14:30 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.
Starting point is 00:14:43 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,
Starting point is 00:14:59 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.
Starting point is 00:15:18 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
Starting point is 00:15:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:48 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
Starting point is 00:16:03 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.
Starting point is 00:16:20 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:16 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.
Starting point is 00:17:38 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.
Starting point is 00:17:48 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:41 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
Starting point is 00:18:58 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.
Starting point is 00:19:16 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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.
Starting point is 00:19:50 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
Starting point is 00:20:05 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,
Starting point is 00:20:22 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
Starting point is 00:20:41 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
Starting point is 00:20:57 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?
Starting point is 00:21:10 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,
Starting point is 00:21:25 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
Starting point is 00:21:37 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
Starting point is 00:21:51 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,
Starting point is 00:22:05 bomb. Hate, fed love. What? Like, I feel like that was Joel Silver's kid. Yeah. And he was like,
Starting point is 00:22:14 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,
Starting point is 00:22:25 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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
Starting point is 00:23:00 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
Starting point is 00:23:18 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,
Starting point is 00:23:38 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.
Starting point is 00:24:02 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.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:10 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.
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:34 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
Starting point is 00:25:41 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
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:08 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.
Starting point is 00:26:26 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.
Starting point is 00:27:01 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,
Starting point is 00:27:19 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.
Starting point is 00:27:45 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
Starting point is 00:28:06 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
Starting point is 00:28:19 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
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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.
Starting point is 00:29:43 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.
Starting point is 00:29:56 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:44 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...
Starting point is 00:31:00 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?
Starting point is 00:31:16 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
Starting point is 00:31:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:53 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
Starting point is 00:32:24 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
Starting point is 00:32:34 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
Starting point is 00:32:46 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.
Starting point is 00:33:07 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.
Starting point is 00:33:21 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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?
Starting point is 00:33:53 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
Starting point is 00:33:59 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
Starting point is 00:34:05 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
Starting point is 00:34:13 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
Starting point is 00:34:20 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.
Starting point is 00:34:29 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.
Starting point is 00:34:43 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.
Starting point is 00:35:04 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?
Starting point is 00:35:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's no other way. Yeah. Sandra Bullock is 100. percent his daughter's. Yes. Yes. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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.
Starting point is 00:35:38 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.
Starting point is 00:35:55 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.
Starting point is 00:36:13 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.
Starting point is 00:36:30 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:00 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.
Starting point is 00:37:12 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
Starting point is 00:37:24 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
Starting point is 00:37:37 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
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:17 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.
Starting point is 00:38:47 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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
Starting point is 00:39:29 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
Starting point is 00:39:45 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.
Starting point is 00:40:01 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,
Starting point is 00:40:19 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.
Starting point is 00:40:32 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
Starting point is 00:40:53 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
Starting point is 00:41:10 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?
Starting point is 00:41:29 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
Starting point is 00:41:45 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
Starting point is 00:41:59 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.
Starting point is 00:42:14 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.
Starting point is 00:42:47 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?
Starting point is 00:43:07 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.
Starting point is 00:43:38 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,
Starting point is 00:43:58 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
Starting point is 00:44:16 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
Starting point is 00:44:31 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.
Starting point is 00:44:45 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
Starting point is 00:44:59 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.
Starting point is 00:45:13 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.
Starting point is 00:45:33 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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
Starting point is 00:46:07 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
Starting point is 00:46:19 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,
Starting point is 00:46:36 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.
Starting point is 00:46:52 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,
Starting point is 00:47:08 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
Starting point is 00:47:25 is that fellow alum, Dan Cortez, was the piano player. in the Taco Bell. Combination Pizza Hot Taco Bell. Oh. Whoa. I like that.
Starting point is 00:47:39 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?
Starting point is 00:47:52 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.
Starting point is 00:48:06 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.
Starting point is 00:48:30 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
Starting point is 00:48:45 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
Starting point is 00:49:01 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
Starting point is 00:49:18 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.
Starting point is 00:49:36 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.
Starting point is 00:49:53 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
Starting point is 00:50:09 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
Starting point is 00:50:26 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
Starting point is 00:50:40 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
Starting point is 00:50:58 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.
Starting point is 00:51:26 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 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.
Starting point is 00:52:02 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
Starting point is 00:52:24 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.
Starting point is 00:52:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:55 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.
Starting point is 00:53:16 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
Starting point is 00:53:41 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.
Starting point is 00:53:59 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
Starting point is 00:54:23 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.
Starting point is 00:54:57 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.
Starting point is 00:55:17 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.
Starting point is 00:56:02 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
Starting point is 00:56:26 When Stallone's hanging From the Grabber thing The music there is like Weirdly like Orchestral But like fast And kind of circusy
Starting point is 00:56:38 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
Starting point is 00:56:53 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.
Starting point is 00:57:10 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.
Starting point is 00:57:24 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.
Starting point is 00:57:43 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.
Starting point is 00:58:03 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.
Starting point is 00:58:15 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,
Starting point is 00:58:28 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.
Starting point is 00:58:42 My name is Chris. You thought way too long. I know. Well, and he was reading. Move on. Move on. My name is Chris
Starting point is 00:58:53 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
Starting point is 00:59:08 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
Starting point is 00:59:23 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.
Starting point is 00:59:43 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?
Starting point is 00:59:59 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...
Starting point is 01:00:17 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,
Starting point is 01:00:36 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.
Starting point is 01:00:54 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.
Starting point is 01:01:05 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.
Starting point is 01:01:16 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.
Starting point is 01:01:33 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
Starting point is 01:01:50 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
Starting point is 01:02:05 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.
Starting point is 01:02:19 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?
Starting point is 01:02:36 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
Starting point is 01:02:57 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
Starting point is 01:03:15 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
Starting point is 01:03:25 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
Starting point is 01:03:39 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
Starting point is 01:03:52 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
Starting point is 01:04:07 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.
Starting point is 01:04:25 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.
Starting point is 01:04:40 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
Starting point is 01:04:55 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
Starting point is 01:05:10 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.
Starting point is 01:05:18 I don't know. Unless that earthquake killed most people. I don't think it did. And then lobotomized everybody else. And just, oh,
Starting point is 01:05:30 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,
Starting point is 01:05:42 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?
Starting point is 01:06:10 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?
Starting point is 01:06:26 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.
Starting point is 01:06:42 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.
Starting point is 01:07:11 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.
Starting point is 01:07:22 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.
Starting point is 01:07:37 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.
Starting point is 01:07:45 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.
Starting point is 01:08:00 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.
Starting point is 01:08:14 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.
Starting point is 01:08:33 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
Starting point is 01:09:06 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.
Starting point is 01:09:29 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.
Starting point is 01:09:48 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.
Starting point is 01:10:06 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.
Starting point is 01:10:29 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
Starting point is 01:10:49 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
Starting point is 01:11:10 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.
Starting point is 01:11:22 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.
Starting point is 01:11:34 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.
Starting point is 01:11:45 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,
Starting point is 01:11:57 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.
Starting point is 01:12:14 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.
Starting point is 01:12:29 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.
Starting point is 01:12:38 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.
Starting point is 01:12:48 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.
Starting point is 01:13:02 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,
Starting point is 01:13:16 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.
Starting point is 01:13:30 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.
Starting point is 01:13:45 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?
Starting point is 01:13:59 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.
Starting point is 01:14:14 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.
Starting point is 01:14:28 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.
Starting point is 01:14:41 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.
Starting point is 01:15:02 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.
Starting point is 01:15:16 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,
Starting point is 01:15:30 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.
Starting point is 01:15:47 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
Starting point is 01:16:06 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.
Starting point is 01:16:22 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.
Starting point is 01:16:40 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
Starting point is 01:17:01 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
Starting point is 01:17:13 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.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Truly frightening. Five stars. I will say I will say watching this movie there was something about it that felt like oh yeah
Starting point is 01:17:46 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
Starting point is 01:18:01 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,
Starting point is 01:18:15 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
Starting point is 01:18:32 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.
Starting point is 01:18:48 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?
Starting point is 01:19:01 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.
Starting point is 01:19:26 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
Starting point is 01:19:39 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
Starting point is 01:19:59 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.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Wyatt Capp. Thank you.
