In the immortal words of the late great Shah of Iran, no way, yes way. We saw double trouble, so you know what that means. What's up jerks, hey people of earth. I'm trying to figure out if this movie's worth. The time it takes to watch it could be much better spent on doing Literally anything else, it's true But you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna watch it anyway, cause that's just how I feel today And it'll be fun to listen to Jason Paul and June Grant As they try to figure out that thing that I can't and that's this. How did this get made? Geostar. Hello people of Earth and hello people of Denver! You just heard the one and only John Hamm, a Denver one-man band doing our opening theme song, laying down the gauntlet to every other city.

We've been doing this show for 15 years. No one had the balls to say, let me come up there and sing the song. He did a great job. We're excited to be back in Denver. It's been over seven years. And you know what? We had to bring something special. A movie that came out in 1992, starring Peter Paul and David Paul as Peter Jade and David Jade

in a little movie called Double Trouble. The IMDB logline is muscle-bound twins try to smash a jewelry smuggling ring. That's about it. Yeah, that's all you need to know. That's all you need to know that these are two giant men who are identical. Not only in looks, but in personality. Honestly, can't tell them apart. Tagline of the movie, twin brothers. One's a good cop,

the other is bad news. One thing that I think is great about this movie that I want to bring up very early on is the writer of Double Trouble is also the writer of The Beekeeper, the Jason Safin movie, The Beekeeper! Ha ha ha! And this was directed by John B. from Pee-wee's Playhouse, The Head in the Box. That's not a bit. This was directed by

John B. He also played the pterodactyl. Worked a bunch with Peewee and Alvira. And I gotta say in watching it I was like this movie's not badly directed at all. I was into it. So that was John Paragon.

Now, to break down everything, we need my co-host. Please welcome to the stage Mr. Jason Madzoukas! What's up, jerks? Let's go, Denver! Let's go! I have to be cool, we're at altitude, I will pass out. I really have been suffering already. Just from walking out and a little jumping around and I'm like, cooked.

I'm like, should I get my inhaler? Jason Paul How familiar are you with the Barbarian Brothers? I'm a full Zero for this I started this movie up thinking I was about to watch a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Oh, wow. I had it in my mind that's what Double Trouble was. I was like oh I think that's what and I was like whoa whoa what is happening? This this was a fever dream. This made me uncomfortable. I felt turned on. There are so many things

happening in this movie. Wow. And there's a moment. And also so many things happening in this movie. Wow. And there's a moment. And also so few things happening in this movie. Well. It's like the perfect movie of so much, so little. Which is kind of the Barbarian Brothers. Would it surprise you that this is one of four

of their films? Done. And we're rolling on the other three right now? We're not doing the show, we're just watching the rest? We will. Do they ever do a movie where there's only one of them but they keep swapping places? I would like that if that exists.

Well, how would you know? Here's what I'll say. The one that really piqued my interest is a film called Twin Sitters, where they are babysitters for a bunch of rich kids. Okay, why is it a thing that there's a movie that has to happen for every big jacked action star that they have to contractually do a movie where they're a babysitter or a nanny? Why is that a thing? I think because... The Rock, Vin Diesel.

I think it's just because kids are like, whoa. It's not a tumor. I mean, it's not a babysitter, but it's close. But even, even Dave Bautista did one with a little girl. I think he's done two. So, yeah, I don't know. Why do we want that? Kids want big people.

Why, to protect them? Just to be like, whoa. You know what? No. No, what? Don't give your kids to these big people, right? Give them to me. Give me those babies.

Let me hold them. I'll protect those babies. Let me hold them. I'll protect the babies. Well, you know, in our last episode, our next co-host, she said, well, this movie went down easy for me because I like looking at abs. Well, guess what? You got to double the abs in this movie. She is the co-host of The Deep Dive. She is a How Did This Get Made All-Star. Please welcome Jessica St. Clair! Wow! Ah! Thank you so much for having me, boys. Jessica?

Yes? Barbarian Brothers, does this register to you at all? Ugh. Um, you know, I really thought that you guys were going to do a lot of, like, futuristic trashcan fires on me. You're welcome. You're welcome. I believe there's not one trash can fire in the whole tour. You're welcome. And during this movie I thought I wish a train. Thank God I'm in a hotel room alone that I don't have to get out of. Oh, the fantasies you would have with...

I thought I wish a trash can would set on fire because it would be more interesting than watching this piece of shit. Now, here's the deal. I said during Craven that I... that his abs saved that entire movie for me. I think it did for you too, Paul. Oh, absolutely. I think it did for you,, Paul. Oh, absolutely.

I think it did for you, and you love that hair. But... St. Clair is, let me be clear, sexually obsessed with Craven. And also keeps telling me that I wish I was Craven. Therapists in the audience, you put it together. Now any therapists in the audience who wanna pipe up when Paul's out there, I'd love to hear from you. All I know is I see Jason in the airport today

and he's all just like, like Craven style. I also bring my own throne wherever I go. No, but I'll just say this. I like a hairless man. I like a man with abs. I do not like a man with a tiny waist and then a big old butt. I want it big all over or not big at all.

Oh, you see, I like that little tiny waist and then you got that round thing in your face. Oh! You do get sprung, Paul. You do get sprung. Well, we will break it all down, but we have a very special guest. Um, this is somebody who I think is one of the funniest,

stand-up working. He is currently a Denver resident, doing amazing comedy shows all around Denver. His special religion, sex, and a few other things in between is hilarious. Check it out if you have not seen it yet. Please welcome to the stage Rory Scoville. Thank you.

Thank you for that. Welcome Rory. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. Welcome Rory. Well, well, well. I was excited to have you on the show but more excited to

have you for this film because it's a real like when we find these pockets of movies that you don't know anybody in but clearly this was a thing. Oh it is again that we've gotten 15 years into this podcast and have never touched a Barbarian Brothers movie that I didn't know such a thing existed until today. How did I get so guah lucky? Did you did you know of the Barbarian Brothers? I've seen their faces. In your dreams? In my dreams. If I have the right dinner, they show up.

I don't know them and I will never ever look into them again. This was it for me. Peter and David Paul. By the way, that's the other thing that gets me about their names. Whoa, fuck. Are these the Paul brothers' dads? Are these Jake and Logan Paul's dads? That's right. Whoa! Are these the Prime Daddies? These are the dads that changed the world with cool sons. These are my Paul brothers. Right here.

OG! OG Paul brothers! Straight Gen X, these are my Paul brothers. I really didn't know where to even begin with this movie because it starts with like a limo driver who's late who's picking up this guy now he we're led to believe he's an actor who's bad at his job little do we know big twist coming this guy's a stone-cold assassin he kills more people than anyone but he straight-up looks like he's like Jimmy Olsen. He looks like he's Superman's friend. I'm wondering, you guys would be the experts, but has a has a

mild man, a ninja, ever been an assassin? So when I see a redheaded gentleman, I don't think stone cold killer. Right. A little too fresh-faced, too. Yeah, a little too fresh-faced, and he has a little pony. Everybody in the movie, ponytail. Everybody. Even when the rest of the hair is short pony. Oh, yeah.

Well, that's my favorite guy. The guy that has, like, really short here, and then a ponytail in the back, who fights one of the Paul brothers in the factory afterwards. Yeah. And I was like, this is a Gabris part right now 100%. It kind of reminded me of John Candy's stunt double. He had a little mustache. But I was wondering about this assassin because we meet him, he gets out of the car, forgets his hat and he's just running around on the street. Rose Hill? Rose Hill? I was like, this is lucky that this guy happens to be on the street.

But then I was like, when I found out he was an assassin, I was like, is he that method of an assassin? Because he's like, I'm an actor. And I like, is he really going to? Why was being late part of it? That's what I'm saying. It's like, why was, or was he late? Like, I was like, whoa, is this a choice? Or what was?

That's what I'm saying, I'm saying this guy is like a stone cold killer who's also like, I'd like to get into my parts. I am a limo driver who is trying to be an actor, I got to leave my kids to do this audition and I have to pick up this guy, he's got a full backstory. And the actual actor pitched that,

that he was supposed to be on time. And he goes, what if I'm late and they were like oh my god I would love it if the hit man pitched it yeah and they're hiring him to take the hit he's like if it's cool with you I'd like to be late wait we gotta kill him we gotta time it out with the funeral he goes I know but what if I'm late yeah Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, and I've got an excuse. Like my kid was hurt or, no, no, I had an audition. All right, go ahead. He's always like, boss, can I talk to you for a second?

So I'm thinking for this. You know, I've been trying to go vegan, right? So I'm hungry. And so like, so I'm going to definitely have a thing where I'm like, oh, is that steak? Are you eating steak? And he's like, yeah, we don't need all the backstory money. Just kill this guy. Just shoot him.

Just shoot him. I would have loved the movie if it went into that much detail about the mild mannered ginger. The MMG. The MMG. I'd also like to point out, he could have turned around and shot the guy before they even started the car. Constantly.

Really. He didn't have to do all that. Constantly. Now, can we just have to do all that. Constantly. Now, can we just talk? This actually is a real bugaboo for me. If you cut out... All right. Add it to the list.

There are so many driving shots. If you cut out the B-roll of driving, you would have a 15-minute film. OK, but now, hear me out. No. Hear me out. How would you know how people got from one place to the other?

Yeah, because it's another story. That's another story. Oh, what? I just saw this fucking guy in jail. Now he's at Diamond Town? And also, if you know the streets, you're like, is that the best route? Yeah.

They definitely weren't going to LAX the best route. I know that. Yeah, when they got near the LA River, that guy should have been like, is this the way? This is not the right way. Are you going to kill me? The guy should be nervous. He's got one of those metal suitcases handcuffed to his wrist.

He should be on guard. When they come out with a grinder, Roddy McDowell, give it up for Roddy McDowell. Roddy McDowell. Absolute champ in this movie. When they come out and they kill him and the guys come out and his beautiful aluminum Zero Halliburton briefcase, there will be a Zooks Cubes episode in this. Because there's backpacks. Diamond backpacks.

Anyway, they've got a grinder and instead of grinding just one link on the handcuffs and walking away with it, they grind the whole case in half. Yeah. And it takes 15 minutes. Why? By the way, I mean, I'm probably the more sadistic person of like, just cut that fucker's hand off.

That's what I thought they were gonna do. Wouldn't that have been so much better? Yes. This was the driving shot of chopping off the thing. Yes. That guy pitched that chopping off the thing. That guy pitched that, by the way. He wasn't supposed to cut the hand off.

He goes, hold on. Hold on a minute. What if instead I take three times as long to make a horizontal cut all the way across? I didn't even know you could get into a briefcase that way. I guess it does make sense. There is so much that goes on right away. I will say this. My grandma who is since passed, a lovely woman, 97 years old, incredibly racist, she worked in the Hamptons. And occasionally in the Hamptons she would have these run ins

with famous people. And one of the famous people that she worked ‑‑ that she bumped into was Roddy McDowell. And it was this picture of my grandma was up in her house because Roddy took the picture of my grandma and then signed it. So it's a Polaroid of my grandma signed by Roddy McDowell. But not of him. Not of him. And not of her with him. And my grandma would tell the story about how when he took that picture, he cradled

her face and said, okay, I created 15 distinct personalities in Planet of the Apes. That is so fucked up, Paul. Yeah, that's why I wouldn't want him in the picture either. Talking to me like that. Why are you touching my face, dude? Get off my face! My grandma was like, and he grabbed my face and he looked me right in the eyes and he said, Kay, I created 15 different personalities.

Imagine if someone, you had this incredible moment with someone, you had some sort of an experience, they shared a picture, a moment, they caressed your face they came in close and the thing they had to say was I created 15 distinct personalities for Planet of the Apes I created and just a weird thing to put a to put a time on it, this is late 90s. So... To put a time stamp on it, this is pre-Planet of the Apes. To make it even weirder.

No one knows what he's talking about. You'll know one day. You'll see. You'll see. Okay. Disappears into a cloud of dust. Okay, I created 15 different twin personalities for the Barbarian Brothers in double trouble. Now this is all before we meet the Barbarian Brothers.

One of the Barbarian Brothers obviously a thief, but not a thief, a cat burglar who is obsessed with cat, like very much a cat woman, like he's drawing pictures of cats. And he's very into like cat and mouse games, he's doing a heist while calling the police on himself so they'll chase him. This was my favorite move when he did the, you're rolling, wait. Oh yeah. He rolled up. I thought he was making like a. A rolling, you're rolling, wait. Oh yeah. Yeah, he rolled up.

I thought he was making like a, like a. A whisker move? No, no, like a camera. Like a camera to the camera? Wait, you thought he was trying to insinuate movies in a game of charades? Yes. To a camera.

So every time you thought he was like. Like you're watching me. So it was. Well the quality of the film is so bad. I have to say though, they did have... I wish you were in your room and he did that and you were like, okay, movie. Double trouble. No, but I have to say, I do think they had some good burns back and forth to each other.

Oh, yeah. That was, I agree, because that was, they, what's interesting in the movie, obviously one of them is a cat burglar, one of them is a policeman who's after the cat burglar, but what's so strange is they hate each other. Yeah. Just, actually, just the cop hates the cat burglar. The cat burglar seems to like giving it to his brother. No, but then it all comes out.

It's because he was straight A student and he had no choice but to be bad. So you did like it. You loved it. Which one was your favorite? Which one do you think was my favorite? The bad boy. Yeah! I thought he was fun.

He was fun. I did think he was fun. Well, that was less abs though You have to factor in you get more He was the one that the wardrobe did not give a crop top to oh my god How that I was like it's cool if I wear this in every scene right for the entire month The fact that one character in this movie does not change his wardrobe for one scene, but it's like, oh, but here's my guess.

My guess is they did that for us to tell them apart. Oh, yes, right? That makes sense. Yes. He's always in that. Yes. Because if they change much, we're going to have to do an exposition to be like,

I'm the one that was in the Raiders. Yeah. That's right. Well, in one scene he's just dressed as a police officer. We needed it that much to know. Oh, he must be the cop. Oh, that's the one. Oh, that's the cop because of the uniform. The literally... Beth, can we play scene four? This scene fucked me up because I was like, I'm confused. Scene four, this is when they are dressed the same. Oh wait, maybe, oh wait, maybe this is not, sorry. Oh. Either way, either way, if you ever have to shoot a gun down at someone, it's, you know,

you, ha! Ha! Ha! The casual nature of gunfire. Oh my god. No effort to aim. Nothing. I would love it if they cut now to an overhead and they were just like six dead civilians. This is what this actually started the phrase friendly fire. This is an active shooter. Also not a cop. Nope. Not a prolific criminal. By the way I've noticed even like the nerdy cop that's partnered with them they all carry their guns very high. Oh yeah. Yeah poor witty. More like a baseball bat. Yeah. It's up, it's like upper cheekbone and a higher. I'm like, how are they going to get that gun down? They are not good at guns.

Well, you know what? I thought I had this scene where they're at the restaurant where they're dressed the same. Oh yeah. And they're talking. Oh in suits? Yeah, and in suits. I was like, I don't know who was who. Well, the way you knew was that the one who's the crop top walked for some reason in a suit like this. Like, the suit made him unable to bend his limbs. But yet he is a guy who was wearing tight jeans and a crop top, which is not like a loose item. How great would it have been if he got fed up with the suit and then just cut it? Yeah, that would have been great! Cut it at the waist.

That would have been great! Okay, now I feel better because I just need this two inches peeking right through. Well, did you guys watch wrestling when you were little? Okay, now I don't know. Are these guys wrestlers? I was too busy talking to Rory. They're not wrestlers. They're not. Did they ever do porn

Show this this this is my preferred white lotus scenario big time a Big time these guys see you can tell I'd love it if the Barbarian Brothers were in the next season of white lotus Where where are they now? Where are they? We'll see. They're here tonight, ladies and gentlemen. The Barbarian! When they both ran into the subway tunnel, I laughed so hard.

The Barbarian Brothers, Peter and David, are fraternal twins who had a small bit parts following the careers of Arnold and Lou Ferrigno, but then they made their first film, Barbarians. Okay, sorry, sorry. So they are bodybuilders. Like Lou Ferrigno and Arnold, you mean? Yes, because they actually, where they got their start was in Rhode Island because they had their own gym called local porn P&D's House of Iron so that's that's the porn I want to see how is that how is that

these house how is that not an 80s era MTV show by the way that might be a good shirt for tonight P&D's House of Iron, Rhode Island. Before this movie, their biggest claim to fame was that when they were nominated for worst newcomer at the raspberry awards, the golden raspberry awards, they were the first actors to ever attend the ceremony. That's cute. That is great. Halle Berry has done it now. Francis Ford Coppola has done it.

But they lost. They actually lost to a arm wrestler from the Stallone movie, Over the Top. Does that feel good? Like when you lose that night, are you like, whoo. But do you think they only lost because they split the vote? Probably. By the way, I loved them. Oh, me too.

I found them Watchable they were charming them infinitely watchable because I was like, what's up? Like what's up? I these brothers I felt like they would block the scene and they'd just be standing off being like But I'm and someone would just push them in there. What okay? It felt like they were improvising. It felt like maybe the movie was a prank being pulled on them. Yeah. Yeah.

They felt so organic and in the moment that I was like, these guys are either geniuses or they have no idea what's going on. That's what I'm saying. This movie was not badly directed and finally acted. I mean, everyone knows what they're doing, and it's fun. Even that guy who is their nerdy...

Whitney. Whitney. Whitney. Who? Justice, justice. Justice for Whitney. I'm gonna say it is justice for Whitney, because that guy, all he does is try to save you. Oh wait, there's a guy dressed as Whitney.

Yes. Yes! I love him so much! Can we get house lights? Can we get house lights? Wait, there's a guy dressed as Whitney. Yes Can we get house lights Come on I salute you sir, I salute you are there any other Whitney's in the room? I salute you sir Um, I want to just give justice to Whitney because Whitney is paired with him. He does kill the the the method actor Murder and at one point he's like should I go call for help? He's like, yeah, and he runs away and the Barbarian Brothers like dick Save their life over and over again. It was a nice moment. He literally just saved them.

Well, they've got like big bully energy. Like they're bullying each other. They've got like a real... So to me, they felt like they were just going to be hazing Whitney the whole time. Well, I got to say that's true to the book. The book that he was... Whitney was that and they were that to Whitney. And so to see that on screen and go, that's hard to translate, but they did it.

And you read it in the original French. That's exactly right. Yeah. Duble, duble. There's so many iterations of it. It's biblical, really. It's a Cain and Abel fable. It's a Cain and Abel right here. I mean, honestly, even trying to tackle a subject matter, it's like we all know it. You know what's funny is I just remembered, in the scene where they're in the apartment and they trap the guy under the weights, when they come back and find his throat is slit,

they go take Whitney's pulse and upon discovering that he's alive, they're like, ah, shit. I was rooting for this other police officer to be dead. Who's done nothing but help them. Nothing but help, although I do think he went to a bad doctor because he just got bonked on the head and they wrap him up like a mummy. Too much. Like I don't even know why you would even need to wrap a concussion. It doesn't feel like that's an answer to it.

Yeah, I don't think that's how you do it. It's like a Bugs Bunny wraps a concussion. The beginning of the movie when the cat burglar is cat burglaring, they call in the cop brother who seems to be working some sort of vice, because they're not in police uniform. He's with a woman and I... His partner. His partner, who I believe is... Careful.

I was gonna say... Paul, careful. I feel the temperature of the water shifting as well. Careful, Paul. Well, I thought that she was undercover as a sex worker. Okay. Just because a woman wears a pair of platform heels that don't fit her. As a police officer. Causes her a lot of problem walking does not mean she is a street walker.

I just thought that they were, they looked like they both were not on duty and they looked like they were in deep under, like it wouldn't have been like, let's call in the vice squad for this. It's like. deep under ‑‑ it wouldn't have been like let's call in the vice squad for this. I couldn't make heads or tails. They never appear in any kind of police wear, in any kind of ‑‑ nobody is dressed like a police officer. Are they undercover cops? Do undercover cops dress in street clothes or is it only when they're on the beat? When they're in the office. What do you think the beat is? With that on the streets, being undercover.

Okay. Have you ever seen undercover cops? Nope. Because they're so undercover, you wouldn't know. But you know, they always look so slobbish, and I feel like that is such a tell of what they think of us. Yeah. That cops are like, we gotta blend in with them.

Oh, what should I wear? D in with them. Dress like shit. Dress like garbage. This is maybe the one area with which I agree with the police. We're slobs. The world they are living in is full of slobs. But here's the thing, we find out he is not undercover because he wears that outfit all the time. That is his normal, that's his normal clothes. So I guess he just shows up to work, I guess maybe that's his normal. As himself.

Yeah, I mean. He doesn't appear to be a police officer at all. Yeah. Like it surprised me that he was and it surprised me consistently that the police continued to keep him in their employ. Yeah. Because in no way, shape or

form does he do any good police work at all. When you say that, are you saying like when he was typing and kind of couldn't and he was like that's your whole stomach because I fucking quit. Or do you mean when he just sacrificed his kitchen sink to be where a cat shit. Or do you mean when he goes home alone and decides it's time to work out and then put those clothes back on? Oh. Yeah, all of the above.

I need to break down the cat moment because he is gifted a cat because he was called in on A. He hasn't been hunting a cat burglar. It was like, hey, can you get down to this building? He did, he didn't catch him, and then they gave him a cat. And then that made me go. But when they delivered it, they really lean into it.

They're like, we heard you were chasing after a cat, burglar. And I was like, honest to God, kill yourselves. Everybody, this is awful. But that crushed. You watched, I mean, watch that scene again. That line crushed you. When they were testing this movie, dials went up. And weird to believe, the captain later, the captain later, played by Scotty from Star Trek, Jimmy Dewan. Excuse my voice! I'm sorry, I was screaming at assholes all day.

I'm giving her all I can. My first sip of beer with James Dewan. Really? Yes. How old were you? Not of drinking age. I was at a Star Trek convention with my dad, James Dewan. Really? Yes. How old were you? Not of drinking age. I was at a Star Trek convention with my dad, and my dad's like, oh, look, there's Scotty.

And we were in the Penta Hotel in New York City, and he was drinking a beer, and we waved, and he said, come on over. And we sat down at the table, and he said, you ever have one of these? And I said, no. Not right. Not right. And then I took a sip of beer from from Scottie. It was the best.

Yeah, I think he might have been grooming you, Paul. And then he fucked me. You're getting space groomed. Do you know how many chapters of Paul's book could not be published because they were too sad? Yeah. No, I think now to make no no. I think the transporter work. I just have to put this in your ass

I think the only the only reason that story didn't make it into the book is you don't think it's dramatic Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was just run of the mill That's in the good stuff book What was your dad your dad was like do what he says boy? He says drinking you drink it. Beam it up. That's space beer. Beam that beer up to your lips.

If an original member of Star Trek gives you a drink, you've got to take it. I agree with that. To that end, Denver, I will be in bars for the rest of the night and tomorrow, offering beers to children only. Woo, beers for babies! So they give him this cat, he takes this cat home, and immediately his, like he stops to

get kitty litter. But not food. Is that baby food? Or mayonnaise? I couldn't tell. It's baby food. It's Gerber baby food. It's Gerber baby food.

It's Gerber baby food. It's Gerber baby food. Okay. They love it. They love it. The 92 was different. It's baby. It's Gerber. It's Gerber babies. Okay, it's Gerber babies. Okay, they love it. They love it. The 92 was different. It's mayonnaise. They always say most babies first meals are BLTs. You have to always have mayonnaise. Yeah.

But yeah, you think the store you go to for kitty litter would also sell cat food. Yeah. Sorry, all we got is baby mayonnaise. Also, my guess is they have litter boxes. My guess is if they've got the litter, they might have a litter box. It was 10 bucks and he was just like, nice try bud, I'm not buying that shit. Nice try.

The cat can shit in the sink just like I do. Did you notice the sink didn't have a faucet? Yeah. This, all right. Talk about detective work, Roy. Good for you. Did you notice the sink didn't have a faucet? Yeah, it was... Oh. This, all right. Talk about detective work, Roy. Good for you. So this movie has one of my favorite moments in it,

and I apologize to Denver because it's going to be very specific to the four of us. Okay, so you guys all can leave for a minute. Leave for one second. Quick timeout. When his partner is murdered at the train station, the next morning, they cut to the investigation, and they are at Travel Town, which is at Griffith Park,

which is a kids' train park, where they have abandoned trains and kids can run around. And I was like, they're just shooting this at a kids' park? And they shoot it in a way where it doesn't look super weird that there's like an old 1910 train right off to the side. Like they couldn't even afford to be in the train yard. Nope. Scotty from Star Trek was like, how are we on locations?

I might know a place. I know, we shot a ton of Star Trek all over this city. You need trains, there's a museum back there. It was, I was laughing, I was like, there are way too many trains to be there and they're like trying to desperately show it's not a- No, she is meeting her CI who is dead at a train that is legitimately from the 1800s.

Yeah, that's right. And by the way- That literally like made its way across America. And she's meeting this guy in the middle of night, in the middle of night, he's wearing sunglasses, like, what did he say? Meet me, I'll be sitting on a train in the middle of the train tracks?

Hey, I'm totally clean, I'm clean now, I got a regular job, just meet me in the middle of the night. He's no, and... A lot of red flags. It's a lot of red flags. Let the streetlights illuminate our interaction. Yeah. And she's like, oh, you're on the stuff again. And like, she's upset with him at first. She's rooting for him.

Yeah. Well, she's going to date him. I mean, I think that they did a good job of saying like, I know she's not trying to date him. No, she's she's married. She was married. She's married. Wait a second. I thought that way I thought that she and barbarian were were in love. No, they are no I believe they are cop partners because doesn't the person who reports that she's dead say her husband will be will be, will be, is incontrollable. I thought that's why he was so distraught. Don't you remember when the partner leans in, he's like, I'll get him, I'll get whoever did this.

And then the other guy is like, the other shitty cop, was like, let me see that toxicology. I bet she was literally two feet away from the husband. Not nice. The grieving husband. I bet she was a junkie. Yeah, that's why the barbarian brother punches her punches the guy from son of the beach which also I think maybe is when

you then see a swing set yes yes it's an insert it's the shot of just a swing set and he flies into it yeah they did like so hard to make it a train station but they're like we need this punch scene yeah I mean we got we gotta do it we'll do it in front of swings but we're supposed to be the train nobody cares oh there's a lot of swing sets near train stations yeah we used to play all the time on train swings the other thing is there's a lot of crazy shots. Like when he's talking to the police chief,

it's that close up of his face and then it fades into his face and then it's back to his face. Like who was it that directed it again? John B from Pee Wee's Playhouse. Okay. I feel like he was like, you know what? This is a stupid movie, but I'm going to do some artistic things. Well, I'm going to have a good time Well, I'm gonna have a good time. I'm gonna have a good time and I'm gonna push myself. I felt like the only time that he made a mistake was when he cuts from one brother to the other brother.

That I found confusing, because it's like, you can't cut to the same- This coverage is strange. Yeah. You can't quite make sense of it. Right, because it does feel like you're that guy who works at the gym. Like, where did I just go?

By the way, that's a bit that they do. You know that's a bit that they've done their whole life. Give me six more of that. Yeah. Give me six more. Which way did I just go? Like, incredible. I loved it.

Twins are fun, twins are fun. I don't want to put you on the spot, but have you ever, late at night, put your ear to the wall to hear a man working out and get super horny? She did not need, put your ear to the wall to hear a man working out and get super horny? She did not need to put her ear to the wall. First of all, he sounds like he's taking the biggest shit of his life.

Yes! Oh, for heaven's sake. Yeah! No, that was so... Does she think he's jerking off? I don't... I think that she just finds it hot that he's working out.

And also, that's where I was like,, oh these guys must be like famous bodybuilders that it was such a sensually shot scene Well, it's like give the people what they want. Yes, but the who wants that? Yes, what they want is like him pumping iron and graphic insert shots of his Vascularity. Yeah, and I was like, who is this for? Who is it for? Yeah. It's not for me. Oh, I don't think so at all.

Well, there was a debate. Do we have him work out on this set, or do we have all of the actors take training on how to handle guns? Oh. Yes. They made their choice, and that's what you do. They made their choice.

They made their choice. I mean, you do. They made their choice. They're, I mean, the other thing is the other brother had just gotten out of jail after being in jail for a long time and lives in a very nice house where he has a Warhol of himself. Yeah. Well, he's a thief. That's perfect. He's a thief.

The diamond thief. Did he steal it? He broke into a place where he had the... Oh, if you don't think that the Barbarian Brothers who exist in this world, Andy Warhol, isn't obsessed with them... Like, in this world, I would be shocked if someone, when you go out there, isn't like, here's a picture of the Barbarian Brothers with actual Andy Warhol at the factory. I would believe it.

What was up, though, when we cut to him in his apartment and he's balancing that woman who we all wanted to look like. That woman was like it, right? You wanted to be in a onesie. The high cut leotard but with bike shorts under it. Yeah, bike shorts under it and then your hair is so flipped over that you have to hold your head like this. The scene where the Barbarian Brothers fight each other. It's great. I'm not kidding. This is a Marx Brothers level masterpiece. A fight that begins in an apartment,

rolls out of the apartment, down the stairs, into the street, into the back seat of a car, by two people out of that car. Wait, but then they're like, honey, there's two big men fighting on our back seat. Ah, shut up. Shut up. Yeah. I was like, this movie gets it. Into a china shop.

Thank God. I was like, thank God that they weren't like, no, we want to be like serious action guys. No, they get it. It's absurd. They go into a China shop. Yes. Yeah. They are bulls in a China shop, literally.

They should study this. It just says, wait, China. It's just a so. But yet they have no money because they don't show a single plate break. Yeah. It's all just sound effects. Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Smash cut to parking lot. Did you notice one of my favorite genuine moments in this film is one of my favorite moments that I can't believe I've never seen, which is at a certain point Roddy McDowell is watching the security footage of the robbery, okay, and it's the scene you were referencing earlier where the brother does that and when the whole thing plays out Roddy McDowell hits stop at which point not only does the security footage stop but the score stops Yes as if as if the score of the movie has been scoring the

Security and when he clicks it off, it stops. It was, I had a panic attack. I was like, am I losing my mind? Because the score was also not like, score was like, brr-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the driver plays, Bob the Assassin, is his own band. Great. He got that in the movie. Oh! Is Bob's own...the Ginger's own band? Yeah.

Wow. See, this was a fun set. And actually, when I was on YouTube... I was watching it on YouTube because I didn't want to pay for this piece of shit. And the first comment on YouTube is somebody who worked, I think, craft services on the film, and just said it was a ball, and the brothers couldn't have been nicer, and I think that comes off on the screen.

Yeah, I agree. They're all having a laugh in this movie. I agree, yeah. Right? They clearly don't take themselves too seriously. They don't. And that's both in the movie, and it's gotta be real, because they seem like they are just a couple of goofballs

Even on like those late night shoots you could tell they were probably like hey should we do another take and everybody was like I do think that this is like the fact that he wears the same outfit is like the director going we can pick up any scene at any point. Any moment. Pick up Scalore. You know what I feel like the movie is and or maybe it was the inspiration and it's interesting you say that Jon B directed it. It almost obeys cartoon logic.

Yes. You know? They do stuff that I feel like mostly happens in cartoons, like when Whitney takes the criminal brother to the bathroom and the brother climbs out the window, climbs all the way down, his brother puts a gun in his, a cocked gun in his face and says, go back. And he has to climb back up, climb back in. Whitney's still talking about his sister. I was like, this is cartoon, this is still talking about his sister. I was like, this is a bug's

bunny routine. But by the way, Whitney's improv in that was killing me. My sister, she likes tennis, but one of her feet is different than the other. She's wearing a shoe. I was like, I'm in. Like he's doing a full riff about her leg being shorter. When they go, when they leave that scene and they go to the criminal brother's apartment and they realize it's been trashed, they tear in and Whitney goes to go up the stairs and stumbles. Stumbles and falls, they keep it. Poor thing. They kept it. I think that was part of Whitney's character. He's always stumbling.

Oh, you think? Oh. Well, he fell over that barrel. Oh, you're right. Okay, so maybe that was purposeful. I think so. In my mind, I was like, this was the only usable take. It did look like he fucked up. Like he hurt himself. And by the way, but I could see them going, keep it, that's part of your character.

Yeah, it is. Like, you're used to it. And then maybe building that. Yes, and they go, now at the end, you're going to fucking flip over a barrel. That was his first take on the film. Yeah, right. That was the first thing he shot. Yeah, well you- And he tripped and they were like, you're gonna fucking flip over a barrel. That was his first take on the film. Yeah, right.

That was the first thing he shot and he tripped and they were like, you're fucking genius, dude. That's what I'm talking about. Everybody's being encouraged to bring something to their character. He also, in that scene, has quite a bit of trouble putting his gun back in its holster. He's like, aw.

Yeah. Oh, Whitney. He's an FBI. And I'm like, what? Is this a choice? Is this a new prop? He's like, oh, fuck, this gun doesn't fit in his hole. It's funny too because it's also a little out of frame. So you only know that he can't get in there because you can see enough to wear. It's like just to hear. And he's not even center frame. I bet you they didn't have the proper holster for his gun. Like, yeah, yeah, you got a fucking holster. He's off to the side. I bet you they didn't have the proper holster for his gun. Like, they was like, yeah, yeah, you got a fucking holster. And he's like trying to jam it in there.

I like when they do characters, and I was trying to figure out what you think the characters are. I thought they were doing robots when they get the man in the tanning bed. You are bad. We will... I was like, yeah. And the weird thing was is they put towels on themselves as if to hide themselves, but their faces are fully visible. They don't just put on, so OK, so they follow a guy to a spa, like a health club. They go into that health club.

The guy is in a tanning bed. They cover themselves. They don't put towels on like, we belong here. They put towels all over themselves. Like they're a mummy. Like, not even just mummy, like they are big, like grimace. Yeah. Yeah.

They are like white grimaces rolling around in their acting like, yeah, we belong here. I was like, what the fuck is happening? It was nice to see a tanning bed though. It was, yeah. Just to know that people used to treat themselves to a midday tan. Oh yeah. You know kind of maybe nostalgic. Also deciding to go like imagine in their reality like he's in there tanning what should we do and they were like I think we

cover ourselves in towels and talk like evil robots over him and they they both are like, that's what we do. That's the idea. Don't you wish they had included that scene? Yes. I wish they'd included the scene where they came up with this plan. Yeah. Because it is, they are,

and I guess maybe because I thought they were wrestlers or something like that, they feel like they are, their whole thing is aimed at kids. Like kids would like, like 13 year olds would be like, oh my God, this is crazy. That's like, honestly, there are 13 year old boys in the year 1992 watching that scene in the candlelit living room.

And they're like, that's what you do if you get a girl back in your place. Yeah. That's what you do. That is what you do. You make that, you do Cirque du Soleil. That's what you do if you get a girl back in your place. Yeah. That's what you do. That is what you do. You do Cirque du Soleil. That's what you do. And I got to get a loop.

Where can I get a loop? Mom, dad, can I get a loop? Whatever. I need loose diamonds, loose coal, and a jeweler's loop. That's how you get laid. This is why we have a masculinity crisis in this world. That's right. Bring it back. Bring it back.

Bring back the belly shirt. I wish we had the Barbarian Brothers. We have the Tate Brothers now? No thank you. Yeah. If you want to talk about masculine, I want to talk about the guy who is... Denver, on board for the Tate Brothers?

No. Talking about masculine, I want to talk about the guy whose job it is to lock down the diamond exchange who has a cup of coffee that says, damn, I'm good. Yeah. Yes. Hey, yeah, lock this place down. Then the casualness of that operation too was very bizarre. That was the only day that they had a lot of extras. And that they just put outside a regular office building,

ICE or whatever it was. By the way, that's where they shot Children's Hospital for the last two years. Did they really? That's, oh, I know what you're talking about. That's the old Sunkist building. Wait, at the International Diamond Exchange? Like every, I literally have shot in every location

that the Barbarian Brothers have shot in. I'm like, it's all the cheapest. You gotta look at your career, Paul. It's all, whenever I'm watching one of these things, I'm like, oh, they had no money for this. I've shot in all of these places. Yeah. I remember that one time we were shooting the league and

Want somebody to thank somebody showed us shut up We were on a couch. We were on a couch and someone showed us this picture and it was a full porn I shot BFF there. Yeah. Yeah, it's like yeah, these places are just Yeah, these places are just used. Every set you've been on is covered in cum. Yeah. And that's honestly, that's the charm of doing this. I've been in so many disgusting hot tubs in the valley that I'm like, absolutely not. This is, I'm for sure getting hep A through F in this.

Let me go out to the audience. Let me see what the audience has to say. Careful out there, Paul. These are barbarians. I want to go to anybody in a costume. If you're in a costume and you have your hand raised, make sure we know you're in a costume. All right. Hey, how you doing? What's your name? Chris. What do you got? Can we talk about this satellite dish that gets pushed off? Yes, he does take a satellite dish as if it's like thousands of pounds and we're like, oh, my God, and he throws it on the car and then the guy whose car falls on he just kind of pushes it off.

I loved it. Are the barbarians not that strong? Oh, I assume they're strong strong but you're right because what we don't see is him dislodge it from a mounting. We don't see him do the like oh, I'm having to use so much strength to lift and detach this satellite dish. It really is just like oh, I got one of these. Wing. But he flips a plane at the end. Oh, they flip a plane. That's fucking crazy.

By the way, you know this is a bit that the two of them do. Flip card. Oh, flip. They flip. Oh, they have done this. They have. That's fun. That's fun.

They have mentored so many people. Twins are so fun. Ha ha ha ha. Every Miata that lives near them. Yeah! We used to, when I was in high school band, we used to, we'd have to get a whole bunch of people, but our band director had a very small light car and we would all go out and pick it up and put it into positions that were impossible to get out of. That's fun! It was very fun. Teachers suck!

Hell yeah! Get him! We showed him! Get those public school teachers! You try and teach us music! You just try and show us the beauty of music! Just like the Barbarian Brothers did, be cool, don't go to school. Yeah! All right, so we're with our Barbarian sister.

All right, what's your question? Your name or question? My name's Liz. Do you know how the police chief fires Whitney at some point? Okay. But also when Whitney's introduced, he's in the FBI. So yeah, right. Why does he have jurisdiction over him?

You're right. How can he fire him? Yeah. That's kind of how dumb Whitney is. Justice is a good question. So... Yeah, right! Why does he have jurisdiction over him? You're right! How can you fire him? That's kind of how dumb Whitney is. Justice for Whitney. You know what?

I guess that makes sense for why Whitney keeps showing up. Because he's like, no, no one fired me. I hired you guys. I worked for the federal government. The only way that this, that someone can fire me is in some number of years when a teenager takes control of the department in which I am in and gets rid of me for efficiency's sake.

I think that's foreshadowing Doge. Yes. That's what the movie's doing. Yeah, Big Balls is gonna fire Whitney. Alright, I'm looking at somebody who's actively writing a note right now about the movie. What? What's your name?

Andy. OK, Andy, what do you got? So this movie came out in 1992. 1994, Quentin Tarantino came out with Pulp Fiction. Did Tito the bodyguard look a lot like Vincent Vega to anybody else with the long hair? Just the hair. Just the hair.

Just the hair. Yeah. Do you think that this is like Quentin Tarantino going, I need to write a movie about that guy? Well, I would believe. I would honestly not be even remotely surprised if they did this movie on video archives and Quentin was like, you know what, I love

this movie and I based Quentin's hair on Tito. I would absolutely believe you if you told me that. Because this movie is so strange that I'm certain it was constantly playing at video archives. Sir, what's your name, your question? My name is Andy. I've got two quick tidbits about the movie. The actress who eavesdrops on Peter working out, husband number three of five was none other than John Claude Van Dam. Wow. All right.

Wow. And not that I looked for it and couldn't find it, but apparently these guys did a spread for Playgirl in 1986. Woo! All right! Beth, Beth, if you can hear that. I feel like one of these nerds is going to have the magazine. Do you have the magazine? Do you have the magazine, ma'am? No? Do you have the magazine? Okay, no. Inexplicably raising her hand. All right. Here we are. Now, if you want to ask it in your robot

voice, you can, but you don't have to. All right. What's your name? Alex. Great. That was awesome. You don't have to do more than that. I enjoyed that and you committed to it. All right. So, yes, your question. Why did they have to rappel down the side of that building when they told someone else like go get the car. So that guy who went to get the car had a different way to get down. Okay. That guy might have repelled also. Yes. I think he's the first repeller. They all were like we're in a penthouse. We have to be ready to repel down the side. By the way, I haven't been to many penthouses, but that is not a fancy penthouse at all. You've been to many penthouses? Jesus, Paul. No, I said I haven't been to many. Oh, you haven't

been. But I can tell you that that is not... Well, there isn't a penthouse that's on the fourth floor. They were not high up. They don't call that, they just call on the fourth floor. They were not high up. You don't call that, you just call that the fourth floor. Yes, they were not high up at all. No. But is this, again, you guys watch shitty movies like this all the time. Have you ever seen an action movie where people repel to get away? Because it seems like that is...

Not that slowly. It's easy to shoot somebody. Well, also, it would be impossible to set up and repel that quickly. Right, you have to find a base. Yes, you have to. Yes, exactly. You have to be on belay. You have to have your climbing shoes, your harness, your chalk bag.

You gotta get the chalk. Guys, guys, read the book. It's in the fucking book. That's what they did. This movie stayed true to the original vision. I got two final comments, one from a personal trainer. Alright, so what do you have for a personal training point of view? I just wanted to warn people that if you are lifting weights

and you're doing chest presses, please do not rest the bar on your actual chest. That's a hot tip. Can't crush your rib cage. But what if I'm not a pussy? And again, do you, oh, I have a question too. And feel free to weigh in or not if you have an opinion. Do you think these guys are juiced to the gills? Yeah. Can you achieve this naturally? Yes. And or how quickly can I look like this? Remember I'm 52. Well, you know, RFK Jr. is juiced and he totally jacked at

his 60s. The healthiest guy in the world. rejected his 60s. The healthiest guy in the world. You can do it too, JZ! Yes! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I swear to God, every time he opens his mouth, it's like the Tasmanian devil is trying to tell me something. Every press conference, it's like, what do you think about vaccines?

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right. Well, clearly, there, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right. Well, clearly, there's a lot of opinions about this movie. There are some people who even love this film. It is now time for second opinions. Hi. I'm Fern.

I'm Steve. And we're both librarians. And this is a storytime classic. Peter and David lifted lots of weights, grew awesome mullets and flipped some cars and planes. I can't remember the rest of the plot so I'll give this rad movie five stars on Amazon Adorable! Amazing! Support your library!

Alright, there are 144 reviews on Amazon. 77% are five star. This one was written in 2016. The author is BC. And it looks like this person is responding to someone. Do we think it's David Carrity? Somebody else I met. My first trip to LA.

Mr. C? Mr. David Carrity. Made him drink. Made him drink. Made him drink. He signed my autograph with a yin-yang. Well, the crazy thing was is like he was shooting a movie that in the future sex is outlawed, and he's trying to get it back on track.

Oh, wow. And you as a child heard about this? Well, they asked me to be an extra in it. No. No. All right. BC writes, first off, it's David and Peter, not John. And it was released in 1992. And it's a B movie.

This movie is full of puns and jokes that make this cop-crook movie a bit better than the others. The Barbarians were a fun do it a watch on film, however a director's nightmare by playing tricks by pulling cars in the parking lot around with a chain and not taking acting very seriously. The few films they made are full of fun and enjoyment for the viewer. This movie is at the top of my list. Five stars.

Now, I don't know who he was yelling at before, but it seems like he's angry. This is from Dupe4Life. Dupe4Life writes this. Only had a few beer emoji, beer emoji, beer emoji. Okay, these guys are built like brick shit houses. LOL, the arms on them. Had me want to go and run through a wall.

Go watch it, good movie. Jackson packed, nuff said, five stars. Wait, did you just say jacked and packed? Jackson packed. Jackson packed. What does that mean? I don't know. But that guy is certain that we all do.

That guy is right. Okay, jacked and packed would make sense. Jacked and like six pack. Yeah. Right, Maybe the beers maybe physical trainer personal trainer is Thank you She gets it These you know, look people love this movie cuz sad Hydra writes if you're mad at this movie

Like what the hell is wrong with you? It's about beefy twins. Five stars. And then finally Alex writes this, has everything I could possibly want. Great cat movie. Five stars. You know, what's never pointed out is that that cat is just dead in the sink. He never seen it.

Just dead. He doesn't go home again. He doesn't appear to leave more baby food. The cat was so thirsty and it turned the water on but there's no faucet. No faucet. Nothing occurred. The water kept following into the sink but then just getting soaked up by the litter.

Oh God. All right, so let me just give you a couple of fun facts. The barbarians father in 1993 proposed a barbarians theme park, but it was never built. What? Proposed to who? Honestly, our loss. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Barbarians theme park, but it was never built Honestly our loss yeah, yeah

Who is a great question? Did he just go up to someone like hey you should make Big ol theme park of that these guys I just I just worked the register I don't know what you want me to do. I would like some of the money out of it Go make my boys a ride to ride on. It's like a tilty world, but it's them underneath it. I'll get them to actually run all the rides. They'll do it. Okay. So this is how they kind of broke into the thing. They were popular Gold's gym in Venice for their silly antics, like sticking smelly boots in each other's faces to kickstart their next feat of strength.

And then they created their own workout tape that was sold at Muscle and Fitness called the Barbarian Psyche Tape. Their diet was 36 eggs, a dozens of amino acid capsules, and chocolate milk daily. Can we get, can we go to the- They're like Gaston?

Trainer how is that? Okay, that is very bad 30, I don't know 36 eggs doesn't sound bad 36 eggs and chocolate expensive that would be now Seriously, it's like an air one smoothie. Yeah they They retired from acting, but then they tried to break into the music industry when they started rapping. They've released multiple songs, and they found their biggest success on the islands of Hawaii.

Woo! You know what I? Yeah. One lesson I did learn in this movie, as an actor myself, is that if you aren't a great actor and you have to deliver a line with sarcasm, the audience will not know if you were being sarcastic or if you were just continuing to act poorly as a character.

There was so much sarcasm in this, and I was like, was he being a dick, There was so much sarcasm in this, and I was like, was he being a dick, or was he just saying his line? Doing it bad. Now, we did talk about the Playgirl magazine shoot. Beth was able to find the cover. All right, so that is the cover.

They didn't even make the cover. There it is, the Barbarian Brothers peck's bad boys pose. The cover is Christy McNichol? Yeah, so that's their Playgirl magazine. I can't, I can't. Peaceful. I can't tell you how much, as a solid Gen Xer,

a 52 year old, everybody in my high school looked like these guys. Yeah, cause you were close to Rota. I think Rota Island is something that's very important to the barbarians inexplicably a bunch of suburban Massachusetts kids decided in my high school to take steroids Thinking it was going to get them into the NFL or something and they all had this exact same look and all the

Vascularity and the crop top all of it was giving me such high school bully vibes. It was incredible. It was triggering for you. It was, all they needed was like shaved lines in their head. Yeah, what a lot of people don't know is Jason looked exactly like this in high school. Yup. Not far.

Pretty much. Not far. Minus the beard. Just minus the gray. Final thoughts on the movie. I mean we didn't even get into... Who cares? Okay. David Carradine was a great cameo. The Master Thief, they got him for one day.

They got a lot of people for one day on this movie. But I mean, I loved it. I loved it. Yeah. I loved it and I will very briefly mention that at the end, the big diamond heist, yes, they're all... I love the idea of it's backpack based vacuum cleaners and we're just vacuuming up diamonds. What a great idea, loved it.

But then they've got a clear, they've installed clear windows into the backpacks. So that it's obvious, like it's just full of diamonds. You can't then go walk out on the street and be like, we're just workers, we just vacuumed up the diamonds. We cleaned it real good. That vacuum looks like when you go to the car wash what they use. It wasn't like a high

tech vacuum. No, no. It was just something you do to get your binax shells up. They look like ghost busters with no budget. Yeah. Like we'll get them. My question was, I don't know what a diamond exchange is, but do they lay them out individually for like, these

are all of our diamonds and they're all the same size. Tiny. They're very tiny. Yeah. They were, that diamond exchange was sad. And it seemed like, I guess what it seemed like was that he was getting a way better haul robbing the diamond places in the beginning of the movie than they did at the end of the movie. And you know what was a bit unsatisfying about the ending of the film is that I really felt like the brothers came together to fight the thing and then at the end of the day the bad brother just like threw it all up in the air and stole the diamonds or was that just a bit? He's got be him. He's gotta be.

I guess, but doesn't that undo the entire movie? Oh, I'm so sorry. Do you think there is an arc in this movie? What did you force in there? I thought these characters had made some changes. So you were let down by the end that there wasn't enough barbarian brother growth? There is, it's just growth hormone.

Also, are we meant to believe that they have been building this subway for the express intent to get these diamonds? Because that's a long way out. Yeah, and also way more expensive than the take. The diamonds, yeah, I would think. I mean, how much money Kent Construction stands to make building a subway... That's what I mean. Grossly dwarfs the hall... I think so! ...that he's splitting with Roddy McDowell.

And oh my God, we didn't talk about my favorite scene. I'm so sorry. My favorite scene is when the barbarian brothers are in the spa, they torture the guy in the tanning bed, they shred his clothes. Oh, yeah. Right? And then they basically make it such as they burn him in the bed, they shred his clothes, so they're really trying to get under his skin, right? Then he walks out and they're watching him from the cop brothers absolutely demolished Camaro. He's driving like an absolute wreck. Anyway, they're watching him and they're like, ha ha, we got

him. And he comes out and he's walking around. Then they watch. They're going to follow him and do whatever. They watch as he is run over. Multiple times by the mild mannered ginger. It was so violent. The way his legs are like. That was some Quentin Tarantino shit. I have to look away. At one point the tiny legs were just like the Wicked Witches rolled up legs. By the way, we did mention Quentin Tarantino a bunch, but you know who actually did cast them? Oliver Stone. They were in natural born killers. They were deleted out of the film. Robert Downey Jr. interviews them and Oliver Stone said they were overacting. It's my fault. That's too bad.

I like that he took the hit. There's a world in which maybe if they were more directable or if they were a little bit better actors, they would have had like character bits in movies and TV for the last 30 to 40 years. For sure. We would all be like, this is incredible. Yeah, a staple. This was an absolute delight. It was.

I watched this on the plane today. It was fun. I felt the woman next to me being like what the fuck because I was like Rewind rewind rewind. Why would I be rewinding and taking notes? Taking notes and honestly sometimes taking notes like this. Why are they driving in the car like dictating notes into the phone? Like a lunatic I the phone. Saying it out loud. Like a lunatic. I, when you guys said it was this movie, I thought it was gonna be a Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I was hoping! And I was like, what what's happened to their

show? Well, I'll be honest. For me, it meant only one thing and it was that maybe this was going to be a movie starring the Double Trouble twins. Oh. Who were my first crush in, in, when I was a child. And it did not, but when I searched for this movie, that did come up. So it does exist online and I will now be watching all of the Double Trouble show. Probably tonight in my hotel. Great. Good show. All right.
