Next time, put on some underwear. We saw LiveWire, so you know what that means? At Largo, to talk about the 1992 Pierce Brosnan classic LiveWire, a movie that I didn't know existed until today. And boy, oh boy, I regret that. Now, if you've not seen Livewire, what do you need to know? Well, Pierce Brosden stars as Danny, a bomb expert who's got two big problems.

Someone's blowing up senators, and one of those senators is fucking his wife. Also, the bomb is kind of just something that you ingest, and I guess you become the detonator. I don't know. And a lot of the times in this movie, they just go, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can't figure it out either. It just happens. Go with it. And we do. And it's great.

And we are going to break this down for you. It's got a great cast. Of course, actor, activist. Ron Silva. I'm still committing to the Silva is in this film. Great, great performance by him. Oh, so many great people. So many bombs.

So many upskirt shots. Weird. But let's break it down with the best. welcome my co-host tonight Mr. Jason Manzoukas. Ooh, we got a good one. We got a good one. Pierce Brosnan's so angry.

He's getting cucked. He's got to save the guy who's fucking his wife. Holy shit. I'm so into this version of Pierce Brosden because it's like he was trying to do something. Imagine a world.

in which you're like, I'm Pierce Brosnan. My wife is fucking actor-activist Ron Silva? And what's happened? What world am I living in? We'll break it down in just a bit, but just kissing is what he says at one point. Oh my God. When he comes back out of the elevator

to tell the security guard, they weren't fucking, they were just kissing. Just kissing. The security guard should have killed him. And the way that he says, like, they were just kissing. It was like they weren't even using tongue. It was a very polite kiss. I lost respect for him in that moment immediately.

Ron Silver is alphaing James Bond? What planet are we on? This is a year after Mrs. Delphire and a year before, James Bond. A weird outlier in the Pierce-Brosden catalog. But boy, oh boy. You know, when there's a bomb movie, we call a How Did This Get Made Expert? She's joined us before on such films as The Specialist. You also know her from her amazing podcast and the show Nailed to.

Please welcome, Nicole. My goodness. Nicole. Nicole, Nicole. You're welcome. I feel like this movie has got a lot of things that you might like. Hey, I loved it. Yeah. Okay. I will say this. I've never seen James Bond, and I probably won't now.

By the way, that's fine. By the way, he only represents a small part of the James Bond story. And I would probably argue one of the weaker parts. Oh, dang. He's the whole thing, though. Well, I love that you think that. We can break down James Bond later, but yeah, so go ahead. Also, I like the senator because it looked like somebody just placed that wig on his head. Yeah.

That would never fit right? That hair was wild. It looked like a Fisher-Priced person. Oh, yeah. Where the- swap out the hair? Yes. It had a weird part to it.

And it was like, he allowed that to happen. Well, it's also a period that we've talked about this before, before hair product could hold things in place. So during the action set piece, his hair is doing this. It's like flouncing up

around in a way that is like terrible looking. It looked like a hair commercial. It was just like flowing. I wonder if that was his own piece. We had a caller call into Last Looks who talked about working on Al Pacino's hair. And when he sat in the chair,

he had already done it. And then she like went to go touch. He's like, I think it's great. And she was like, oh. And then she was, oh, okay. He's like, yeah, it looks great. but she never touched it. And then the producers came in and were like,

what, what is? Did you do Al Pacino's hair? It looks terrible. And she's like, he likes it. And they're like, okay, we won't say a word. So I do feel like there is a world in which Ron Silver is like, I think it looks fantastic. I think it looks great. We got to keep men away from hair. I've been saying that for years.

I think most men have a fundamental misunderstanding of how hair works, unless they're going to Turkey to get it. In which case, they're obsessed with how their hair works. Oh, and they will tell you about it. They would love to talk to you about it. And then pretend like they never went to Turkey four months later. I've always had this head of hair. What?

What do you mean there was those couple of months where I only wore a fedora? I feel like you're talking about someone very specific. It's really everyone. There are pictures of men coming back to the states from Turkey, and they're all wearing the same fedora. Yeah. And they're all slightly damaged. You get it in Turkey.

Turkey Fedora Market is off the charts. You get a free fedora with every hairdresser. Oh, yeah. The follicle fedora. You know, I've missed you. I like that alliteration. It was nice, and they did not appreciate it. These fucking idiots don't even get it. They don't even understand alliteration. They're dumb.

They'll learn. When you drink your water tonight, you'll fucking learn. Nicole has clocked Jafar. I thought that was hyperbole. I was like, ha, ha, no. So Nicole, if you're just listening, has clocked one. I realize at the top of the show, you know her as Jafar.

Jafar is in the crowd tonight dressed as a full clown from the film, and when you see her, it is shocking because out of the corner of your eye, you're like, oh, God. Also, that was, you know her as Jafar? Yeah. It's a longer story. I can tell you a lot I know about Jafar.

I'll be honest, I wish I knew less about Jafar. Jafar has been around. Wait, is Jafar your government name? Jafar was the first costume that she ever had, and she's never lost that name, but it's not Jafar even from Aladdin, it's Jafar from a bad Herculees movie. We got it. We got it. This show's over.

Okay, so. Tonight we have a very special guest. You know him from such things as the jackass franchise. Also from the brand new Fear Factor, please welcome. Johnny Knoxville. I have to say, just kissing better than getting effed, but just by a little. Yeah, but I mean, like, we're not, he does it. Do we think he really thinks they just kiss?

Then he sees Ron Silver's Ben. Ron Silver's bedroom later and is like, come on. I mean, he's got like some sort of fuck den. I will. Not to jump ahead, but like it's clearly some sort of fuck den. I do. Well, if we're jumping there, I do need to ask a question. It's great.

This is the first time my son has come to see a show. And we started with this. He puts his hand in the jar of Vaseline. I mean, I've already, get tested. Pierce. What are we doing? He puts it all in there and I wrote this down because he says, I was sorry to make sure I have it right. He goes, planning a party.

Now, planning a party would mean, well, I couldn't figure out. Was there not enough petroleum jelly in there or were there too much? I felt like that was a bad joke because like planning a party suggests like diddy level loop. Right. That's what I thought. Yes. A.k.a. D.L. But this just was a slightly used normal tub of Vaseline. Well, it should have been like, how was the party? Like, he should have said it like it already had happened. Well, I just thought it was very full because what he splatted out was a lot.

So I feel like he was like, oh, there's still a lot of Vaseline. I like the word splatted. I just really want to highlight it because, boy, it's dynamite. Well, that's what it was. Literally. Splat. I feel like he saw all of it and he was like well maybe he'll have a fisting party too. Wow.

Look, this is where his mind goes. Your son likes that joke, right? But this movie is the master of the non-joke joke. Oh, yes. There are so many. Now, Johnny, you also love bad movies. I know we've talked about this a little bit. Have you ever heard of Livewire before today,

before it was assigned to you? I was elated and also upset that I'd never seen it because it is magical. Wow. The premise of the movie, and I know I said this in the beginning, but basically water, it's a water bomb that when it goes in your stomach, the person explodes. And it's deadly serious.

And also, I loved it. I loved how clean it was. He's a bomb diffuser, but the bomb is just a glass of water. Now you're really fucked. Yeah. It also was only, I think, an hour and a half. Real quick. Get in, get out.

I loved it. Quick question. The movie starts off with Pierce with a bandaid on the bridge of his nose that is never spoken about, justified. I was like, oh, at one point we're going to find out, oh, Ron Silva punched him in the face or something.

Nope. They bring up a lot of things once that never figure into the movie ever again. It also is a world that is like, it's D.C., it takes place in D.C. A city that seems, to have non-stop bombs. There are both, the bombs you would anticipate

that might be part of the nation's capital. Okay, attacks on the infrastructure or something like that. But then there are also bombs just for cheating wives. I mean, these guys are fucking busy. They're booked and busy these bomb diffusers. And everyone's, all the other bomb diffusers are

in full gear, except for Pierce Bros. And he's in skinny jeans, defusing bombs. Well, I think we're meant to believe he has nothing left to live for. Oh, okay. So he's like, fuck it. I'm going in raw. But he also, it's like, no one ever takes a beat to go like, this is crazy that this woman has a bomb under her seat.

Yeah. Like, and how did she find it? It seems like in the middle of the ride. You're like, oh, wait a second. And her bomb, her bomb was a class. sticks of dynamite Acme level bomb. Yeah, and spread your legs. Spread your legs.

He's diffusing. So he's defusing the bomb like this. Yes. Yeah. It's insane. And he's staring at her naked pussy the whole time. Because he was like, next time, wear some underwear. And I was like, God,

she must have been dripping wet. She was either like... There it is. I just now also want to call attention to her necklace. Yeah. Because this is some next-level nonsense. This is the only person who's dressed like this in the whole movie. She appears to twice drive into this movie from another movie. And I'm realizing, like, I'm realizing, like, I'm realizing.

I'm realizing that now, like, when we meet him, he is self-destructive. I think they're trying to capture, like, a little lethal weapon energy. Yes, yes. But at the end of the movie, he seems exactly the same. Yeah, he's hyper aggressive. He gets hit with a restraining order right off the bat. I'm like, that's a really aggressive. Yeah, and it proves why there's a restraining order.

Yes, yes. He's, I'm still fucking married to you, and this is my fucking garbage can. My dead daughter. I did not see that flashback coming. at all. He's Brasnin is racking up L's over and on. He has almost no wins

in this movie. But the way that they, like, it's so funny because the wife seems to be over the dead daughter. He's like, look, it wasn't your fault. And he's like... It kind of was.

It really was. He was like, one second. And then she... But I don't know why that daughter just jumped in the pool in the back either. Well, the wildest part was he had the dog with him, but not his daughter.

So he was playing with the dog as she's dying? He left her there for a long time. It's hard because, like, I think the movie wants him to be, like, a complicated, like, he fucked up. He's, like, Riggs and Lethal Weapon, but Pierce Broson is just too Pierce Broson. Oh, but there's multiple scenes where he's just like, ugh, like just staring at the city of D.C. Like, I can't get over this. But he is, yeah. As we get into it, could you, would you mind?

I think you have the text that opens the movie. Yes, of course. Only because I think this is imperative that for people who may not have watched the movie, you understand how this movie starts. Because I saw just this text and it was like, oh, no. This movie. You ready?

Yeah. Over the last decade, more than 3,600 lives worldwide have been lost as a direct act of terrorism. Nearly every country on the globe has its share of political kidnappings, hijackings, and firebombings, with one notable exception. The United States of America! This movie came out in 1992. I've got an update.

I'm going back to the text. Due to a stable political system and the difficulty of smuggling easily detectable incendiary devices into the country. Can you hold here? this is my easily detectable. Like, all right, well, yes. The United States has been relatively safe. Dot, dot, dot, dot.

Until now. Boom. And then cut to this. Wear some fucking underwear. And her line, when she, when he's between her leg to her line, is like, you have one affair and your husband puts a bomb under your chair. And again, it's not, it's like, yep, all on a work day. because then he jumps on a helicopter, flies to another bomb scene.

These motherfuckers do not care about crime scenes at all. They're just no gloves smoking in explosion crime scenes. They are multiple times. Cigarettes are like, yeah, what happened? The thing is still smoking. They're sitting in a smoking car. Like, yeah, it's fucked up. It's like, well, yeah, get out of the car.

Was anybody else obsessed with Chekhov's bomb robot? Oh, Madonna? there's a fucking robot in this movie that they never use. Nope. They use it a couple times. They open up its stomach and they put stuff in there. Yeah, they use it like they never,

they keep foregrounding it and these scenes are using like, would you get your robot out of my way or fuck your robot or whatever? And I'm like, you know what, this robot's going to come in handy. And I think I'm so fucking clever thinking this movie, nope, the movie's like, fuck the robot. We don't see it again. But he got that one good line in. Oh, I feel like I'm in.

lost in space. Well, this is it. Like, I feel like they gave him, like, all these things that you would never say. Like, what did you see that on CNN? What am I on Ed McMahon's celebrity? What is this? He always was, like, cracking these jokes. Like, but then when there's a perfect moment to crack a joke, he does.

And it's like, what, are you a Boy Scout? And he's like, yeah. Like, wait, no, perfect opportunity for a joke. Yeah, and I got a marriage guy. They're kicking ass. Yeah. He also tries to sell jokes that aren't jokes. When they're like, hey, when he helps the woman between her legs,

then they're like, okay, there was an explosion in a restaurant. We're going to put you on a chopper and get you over there. He goes, I love Mondays. Oh, yeah. And a big smile, like, I just, like, crack. These guys are going to go home and be like, Dan said the funniest thing today. He's like, basically my buddy Dan at work is like the anti-Garfield.

How did this can me? I do this can be. I do feel like. like he was like, I just need to be everything. I need to be, like he's angry, right? And he's got all these witticisms, but he also comes off super weak. Like, when he does come out of the elevator and tell

I know we are going to harp on this a few times, but there's just kissing. There's no weaker thing to say. It's not cool. It's not clever. I mean, inarguably, the movie is about a man who is being cuckleded by the

man he's trying to save. Yes. And that is the story. Like the bad guys are so not really like delved into very much because we spend so much of the time with Ron Silver. That is the story. And I would also say if he would be so much happier if he just kind of

embrace the robot who was a little bit of a perv when the robot was pinching his ass and they go, I don't know, the robot has a mind of its own. And I was like, does the robot have a mind of its own? Because the movie doesn't like wink and say, It doesn't. It's like, I think the robot is sexually attracted.

The Pierce brought them. Who isn't? I would love that. Wolf. Yeah. Can we go back to the elevator for once? So the door's closed.

Is this man's ear pressed up against the door? Being like, are they going to say something about my wife? Fucking that man. What? Here we go. Watch.

That's the guy who found Senator Traverer is fucking his wife. No shit. That's a long... Excuse me. Okay. You weren't fucking Do a kissing

Okay So the next time You go spreading rumors about my wife Check the facts with me first Yes sir Miller Thank you What?

for this guy He's in there so long So we're to believe he goes in the elevator Pushes one Does he go up a floor and come down a floor? Like, I wish, I almost wish he'd come out the stairs door.

Hey, hey, hey, I heard what you said. I emergency stopped on three and ran down. Just a heads up. It was just kissing no tongue. And some light over the shirt stuff. I do just, I mean, but again, why would they know

this? Like, Ron Silva is a low-level, like, senator. He's a lower-level cop. It's like, this would not be the talk of anyone. But yet it is the talk of the town. Everyone knows. FBI bomb diffuser, Dan, what's his last name? O'Neill's.

Danny O'Neill's wife is fucking Senator, actor, activist Ron Silva. Oh. In a way that it really is, it made me laugh. And I was like, oh, I wish that they had known. And so that later when people are saying, because this continues, everybody is gossiping that they're fucking I wish people would be like

oh no I heard it was just kissing I wish that it had like a cumulative effect and it had continued to radiate out like that oh my gosh so he I mean I want to go back to what Nicole is saying he deserves a restraining order he is

abusive to his wife when he comes in I'm like yeah get away he's a bad dude because he's like still my house And I don't know when they were divorced because he said that's his wife. He's wearing the wedding ring. They're not divorced.

I think they're separated, but he does have a whole other apartment. Right. Which is awesome. The house is amazing. The apartment, amazing. Oh, yeah. Apartment, though, it's like, he's complicated because one of the pieces of furniture

is just a wood box. Yeah. But it was a really nice apartment and they tried to make it look tough by when he opened the front door, you saw graffiti on the outside wall. Like, how much does he make? as a bomb diffuser.

And by the way, he's not even a bomb. He works for the FBI. He's carrying a gun, right? He is like, what is he? Because he's not like, a bomb diffuser I don't think is going on stakeouts. He's staking out. Well, they keep saying to him, too,

like, you don't have to do this anymore. You basically, that's why we made you an FBI agent so you cannot do this. And he's like, I want to die. I mean, it basically is like, I want to die. He's a, you go in a bomb. The movie also very confused about when it's night and when it's day.

The bad guys are talking to Ron Silva, and there, it's thunderstorm. It's dark. It's night. They cut to Ron Silva. He's in an office during the daylight. And then at the end of the scene walks to the window. It's like, oh, it's about to rain. So then I'm like, where the fuck?

How are they that far away from each other? It's that D.C. weather. If you wanted to change, give it if I'd be. But then they also have the scene at the end where it's like the radio DJ's like, it's four in the morning. So if you're up, just stay up. But then the scene before, the mom is still over the wife's house. And you're like, what's been going on? You're up at you're like that three in the morning?

When they pistol with that elderly woman, I have never been so turned on in my life. This movie is not afraid to make wild choices like. She's still whipping a woman. My God. She flies. She, oh. And falls so hard. I was really looking at it to be like, is that a stunt?

Did they swap it out? They killed a woman. It's executed well. I think they might have killed that old woman. Well, she also had, she actually had the same backstory as Danny, and she said she wanted to die on film. So they let her do it. They also throw a kid out of a wheelchair in this movie.

That was one of the highlights. It's so. necessary. I'm so sorry to disagree with you, Nicole. It was so necessary so that they could load the clown into the wheelchair and wheel him away. But the way they

do it, no one is hustling and they're like dumped, yeah. Oh yeah. At this kid center, we need, we need to dump the kid. Dump the kid, get the chair. When that kid hits dirt and it doesn't seem like anybody like, he's like, oh no, the kid. They're like,

gotta go. Like, that kid would be dead. That kid is his rust, uh, trampled at the end of it. Oh, absolutely. And that's the thing is like, the stakes are so high because the,

we, we've barely talked about the bad guys, which is very interesting. Yeah. Because who, I don't know who, they are. They all look alike.

I don't know where they're from or what their agenda is. It seems to just be revenge because he's owed $10 million, which I mean is, yes, a lot of money, but like, he's blowing up, like, children's events. I don't know if it's that much money. Weren't they mad

about a bill being passed or something? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They wanted to pass the bill, because if they pass the bill or they don't pass the bill, they get money, but then at the end of the movie, it's like, well, you have $10 million. Isn't that just what's happening right now? This movie's a timeless. This movie is a

very prescient movie. But then it feels like at the end of the movie, it's like, you got $10 million right here. It says like, wait, did Ron Silva was going to pay the $10 million? Like, I didn't understand. I was like, I'm a little punchy. And I was about halfway through the movie before I realized that wasn't Timothy Dalton. By the way.

I referenced Timothy to my wife. She's like, what are you talking about? That's Pierce Brosnan. Pierce Brosnan who did wax himself. Wait, who's Timothy Dalton? I love this. Another James Bond. Timothy Dalton is another actor who played James Bond.

Huh. Would you... Would you... Nicole. Wait, how many James... I thought Daniel... Wait, what were you going to say? Would you be surprised

to find out multiple people have played James Bond? I thought it was just two. Okay. Who were the two? Who? Who? Oh, wait.

And then, um, that man. Oh. Timothy Dalton. That man. No, I don't know that man. That man, the sequel to the Marla Thomas show. He talks like this. I love it.

I love it. Let's see. What else do you know him from? And please keep doing the impression. What do I know him from? I have seen a movie with him. Someone say a movie. Nope.

The Rock? Untouchables. Finding Forrester. Nope. Whose movie is Finding Forrester? Get that person out. Yes. Indiana Jones.

In the last group. Yes. Because I date a straight man. He was like, you gotta watch Indiana Jones. Wait, because you... You have to... He keeps showing me these movies. He's like, I like them.

And you're blaming this as for... Because you're dating a straight man. Yeah. A gay man would never. So I guess it's a real toss-up. What are you going to choose? You have to watch Indiana Jones movies. But fuck a straight man.

That was my choice. Yes. Or watch what you want to watch, but not fuck a gay man? I don't think he'd fuck me. I think he'd go. And this is the dilemma. This is it. This is the stroke of our time.

Yeah. Oh, um, there... I love that you thought it was Timothy Dalton, and it could have been Timothy Dalton. There is something really interesting with him, which is like he shaved his body for this movie, appears Broslin. Right. Poorly.

Yeah, because he's a hairy man, and he wanted to be a sex. guy, but that's what I think it is. He's trying very hard to figure out what that sex appeal is. Wait, is that trivia or do you just know that? It is trivia, but then when I realize it's like, oh, he is a hairy guy

because he's like, well, take, like, and Mrs. Dalfoy takes up a shirt, a very hairy guy. And somebody goes, a hairy chest, I'm, I was clocking that too. I'm like, great. Good on you. And this guy was like, wait, what happened to that hairy chest? I already saw Mrs. Dalfire. And then I read that this part, he wanted to create the sex appeal.

Where'd you read that? What? Where did you read that? Yeah, what's the source? Because you said I read that he said that he wanted. Sight your source. Where is he talking about that? Playgirl.com. Honcho magazine.

Hancho magazine. It is on IMDB, as Jafar has told me. I can't believe there's a clown name Jafar here. We are, we're through the looking glass. This is... My favorite part is when Travarez is like, Ron Silver is like yelling at him. And he goes, you know, if you need to leave, I can separate you from this. And then Pierce Broson goes, I'll separate you from your fucking life.

And then Shane is in the background. His buddy's like, ha ha ha, ha. You get him, Danny. It's like, it's not a joke. It's a real threat. And it's not even like. He frequently, frequently is begging Ron Silver. to stop fucking his wife.

He says it both to Ron Silver in person and then also tells people who know Ron Tilver, you tell him he better stop fucking my wife. He also broke into his home while his wife was there. It was like, hey! Yeah! And it was basically like, just so you know, I can get in here.

This is him kind of begging for it here. O'Neill This is business And you better learn to separate it From the other problems in your life You touch my wife again I'll separate you from the rest of your life Face

It's also a very clumsy line Yeah I'll separate you from the rest of your life Okay Well the whole movie The whole movie feels like that level of like First draft It's like oh yeah well it's placeholder

for a more exciting comeback there. It's almost like he should have been a nerd who defuses bombs, who doesn't quite have it all together, who doesn't have clever comebacks, who's kind of just like failing and flailing, but it's again, Pierce fucking, it's never more clear than when you're cutting

between Pierce Brosnan and Ron Silver, and you're like, what on earth is happening? Yeah. The only thing worse than Ron Silver doing the box try with your wife is doing it with that haircut, which I had the same exact haircut at that time. Please provide pictures. I tried to find them. I do think you're, I think you should let her go.

I think if your wife is fucking Ron Silva, you bet you know she's got bad taste. She's gone. Now, I don't understand why they are separated. It's because he can't get over the death of their daughter. daughter. Yeah. But then when he saves the day, she's like, well,

now I'm back in love with them. Oh, okay. When she hears about him saving the day, she's like on the fence. She comes to his apartment. But when she sees him saving the day, then the next thing, you know,

they're in the bathtub together. It's like a cinemax sex scene. Oh. I couldn't believe that woman got in the tub with all her clothes on. I said, this is not reality. Oh. The minute I saw her fully clothed

on the edge of the tub, I was like, she's going in. Even though this movie isn't in the 80s, there's a saxophone that's about to start playing. It does. And they have tender, slow sex for about 30 seconds. But it's also like a weird thing that's like,

please save the day. I better put him in the bath and give him a massage. It's also like not sexy to be like, I got to give my man a bath. Ew. I don't know. Like work into the bath. Do something.

else, but just don't give him a bath. She's behind him, like, she's behind him, like, I also love that it was a reveal. Like, they pan to him, and then they kept going, and I was like, oh, no! Why isn't she in the tub with him naked? Right, just cut to that scene. It's weirder. They have a weird relationship. And then her clothes

come off slowly, then you see her fucking tit. Here's, and here's what I'll say. Also, like, I'm not rooting for them at all. No. No. I'm not invested in their relationship, and I think They're better apart. It's weird.

It's weird to me that their daughter died by drowning and the first time they're getting back together is in a body of water. Also, also, not for nothing, and I don't know how much time has passed. Where's the dog? Where's the dog? It's the dog's fault.

The dog is the one that tries to save the little girl. Maybe they fuck in the bathtub because it's exposure therapy. Now he's finally healed. They didn't like that. Is this thing on? But I was like it is the promise of the premise, right? It's like if you establish that there's a gun, it has to go off in the third act.

So if you establish that he... Then there's a robot. It needs to... I was going to say, I was going to say if you establish that he wants to fuck his wife again, he's got to fuck it. Like that scene feels like, oh, yeah, he's back. He's back. Like, we needed to see him fucking. his wife. And I never would say that about any other movie, but I think you did need to see him. Do it all. I just don't get why she does it. Because he's so mean to her. And then when she goes to

his apartment, he's drunk. His tongue is literally out of his mouth. He's like, slurring. And then she's like, better fuck him. Like, what I also think about this, like, they're trying so hard to up the stakes. Yes, the senators are blowing up. everything's blowing up. And then at one point, like, Senator, will you be at the event? It's like, yes,

hundreds of children from all around the country have raised money for the D.C. Kids Center. Why would the kids from around the country be, we got to help those kids in D.C. It was such a weird thing.

That's a complete waste of time. Also, let me ask you this, about the bad guys. Is their headquarters the Washington, D.C. Department of Water? When they drive into their abandoned warehouse headquarters, it appears as though it's the Department of Water.

And I was like, oh, smart. They're putting their bomb water in the water supply of D.C. No, that's not it. Nope. That's not what they're doing. Just one fountain. Yeah, just one. One fountain.

Who's going to drink from the fountain? What's the plan? Wait, that's so funny. What was the plan? What's the plan? Oh, wait, I thought, wait. I thought that it was in the lemonade. Yeah, I did too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my bad. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait. This guy's flipping out. Because this is, we got to get, yeah, yeah, okay. I'll hold the mic. Can we get house lights?

So basically, the stuff was in the water, and he was going to put the lemonade in it, and he was going to make the water and the fountain explode because the lemonade is acidic. Oh, yes, yes. It's like the only thing. The only thing that neutralized it was Alka-Seltzer, which you heard once and never heard again.

And they never did it. Why would? I wanted him to shove an Alka-Seltzer into somebody's mouth. I thought the clown-in, when he's got the clown and he sees the guy's going red. He goes, hey, to the guy who's got the robot, hey, he's going to blow. And I was like, the robot's going to come in and put Alka-Seltzer into this motherfucker's mouth.

No. Nope. No robot. No Alka-Seltzer. Nobody. Wait, out of everyone who is, seen this movie, did one person understand

that the acid from the lemonade? Oh, okay, show off. Yeah, right. All these assholes think they're so smart. I do love the bad guy's lair because it's very furnished office, but it's also like in the basement

of like a water. It's like they have a nice desk and file. What do they stand for? What is their agenda? What is their message? It's business, Jason. I understand he wants his 10 million, but there's so many other people that are dying for the cause. What's the cause? I don't know.

The kid doesn't know. Answer that, yeah. Oh, another great move of not being a cool superhero is when he's trying to go to Traveris's house, there's a speed bump right before the house. So he's like, zooming and it's like, slow down, go over the speed bump. And then he's like, you can't look cool. Driving up and hitting a speed bump slowly. like, well, I will slow down. This is going to fuck up my engine.

The fact that they made, so the two bad guys are like the guy in a suit, you know, like the guy that's like, you better give me my 10, Mikkel, I think is his name, you better give me my $10 million, I'm owed $10 million. And then his enforcer, who Jafar is dressed like, with the earring. Why they thought that he needed to dress up like, they were like, he'll dress like a clown. For the kids thing, we'll dress them like a clown. There's people doing all sorts of shit at this thing. This guy doesn't need to be dressed like the most chilling, upsetting clown.

Wait a second, wait. I want to go back to that. So the clown was serving up lemonade. So was the idea, like, so no one had taken lemonade until that point. Nobody had mixed lemonade with the fountain. No, no, but it would be your body. No, so the... Yeah.

So it's just lemonade, but the fountain is the bomb. So the plant... Okay, no, I understand everybody saying it's stumbling. amic acid or lemonade, but was the plan to always just drive the lemonade cart into the fountain? They were going to, yes. That's a bad plan. I mean... Oh, yeah. Yeah. They could have done that at any

point. This was an instance where they didn't need someone to ingest the bomb. They just needed to mix the ingredients in the fountain and it would have blown the whole thing. But it seemed like they could have just done that right away in the beginning. They 100... In fact, they should have. Because he goes... Because the clown's like, I'm going to go back in.

And then the clown takes off his nose and hat. like now I'm not fucking around. But you are undercover as a clown. Now you've, like, I love that he took off his nose to do the final. What was interesting to me is so much is made of you know, a la the hurt locker, you know, Pierce Brosden's ability to know and clip the right wires and all this bomb diffusion kind of stuff.

He's so, he's the best. They keep telling us he's the best at this. He's so good. He's in demand. Blah, blah, blah. But then they have invented a bomb. He cannot do... He is powerless to the bomb. The only thing he can do is give it tums, which he does not do. Which he doesn't do.

His pliers should be tums by the end of the movie. But all he can do is put a clown on a wheelchair and roll him away. That's like... He's doing the best that any of us with him. That's why the third act is that he just becomes McGuiver. He's like, here's a nail gun and I'll use this.

Oh, my God. Who has that much ass at their house? Well, you're getting ready for it. He's like, here's some fertilizer in the kitchen. Oh, he makes electricity bombs. He makes a pipe bomb. He shoots nails. Right into someone's neck.

It's full. Also, that man had fertilizer in his kitchen. Yeah. My favorite line is when he goes, Are you and should? And he goes, no. Oh, what? Exactly.

His accent is all over the place. Yeah. It's like English. It's not. New York. But also, you don't have homeowners insurance? That's what I was like, how could you not have

homeowners insurance? And also, like, does Pierce Brosnan care? Are you, that's another joke line. Like, he needs the other, like, that's the thing. Like, when he goes, the Boy Scout was the same thing. It's like, it's like, oh, yeah, we'll put that in later. If I'm Pierce Brosnan, and I'm in the guy's house that's fucking my wife, and he says his house

is not insured, I'm as quickly as possible. destroying the house to the maximum ability that I have. I agree. Can we talk? Go ahead. Well, I was just going to stay. They painted over all that beautiful dark wood in that house. And I was genuinely pretty upset about it.

Oh, no, they ruined a lot of original detail. They did. That white banister? I said, why? Oh, yeah. All of the casings on the door. I said why. I would love this.

I would love for this. This is your new podcast. We watch movies and critique the interior design and the choice. The design choices they've made. Can we talk about Gwen? That was her mom, right? Oh, yes. She is such a social climber.

Oh, she wants her to be with that guy. You should go. You should go to this weird man's house at three in the morning. Her reward is to be pistol with, which is crazy. But, yeah, she. wants and I mean like her daughter I mean how these are adult people

these are people who are very capable of making their own decisions but she's like you should go do this you should if your old senator boyfriend sends a man to come get you without telling you you got to go well the other alternative is a man who's mad at her and yells at her I guess so I mean like here's the deal

choose neither choose yourself She needs I mean she does She's also in a very similar situation In Beverly Hills cop Yes Well yeah

She's literally being held by the villain at the end I do just want to We'll get to the audience here in a second I want to talk about the explosions The first two explosions of the film They're dynamite Right What I love

Hey ho What I love about them is Yeah the explosions are big But they also felt like We do need to put a person Right outside of it too. We got to kill that person too. Like this is a guy like, huh, I'm standing in front

of a restaurant. Oh, God. But then the other guy goes to the car. This is this guy. I love this. I love it. And now look at his hand. There's a hand. Can you see that? I don't even know where that hand is coming from. But the best part is he gets up after it.

He's absolutely fine. And never do your stunts in slow-mo if you're stunt double looks like Shecky Green because he looked nothing like Pierce Brosnan. Oh no. There is this one shot that I pulled. This is

when they're falling at the end. This is what I'm talking about. Yeah, let's see if I can zoom in Eric. Oh, that's, I didn't even clock that. That's so funny. That's neither of them. Is that Steve Carrell? This looks like when you go to like

Universal Studios for the Waterworld stunt show, and I got's like, I'm Kevin Costner. Honestly, I... That's Steve Correll. I'd rather watch this movie

that stars these two guys. Look, I love that they were like, yeah, that wig will work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It works enough. It's so funny.

It's like an Elvis wig from Party City. And, by the way, they do kill Traveris, and he's not that bad. I mean, I guess he's a bad guy. I mean, his biggest crime, I don't know.

I guess... He seems to be, somehow the villain of the the arms deal. I guess. He goes, I just was trying to get in a high profile vote. No, I don't think we're meant, I don't think that's true. I think he's trying to talk his way out of it.

He was laundering money. He was refurbishing his whole home to hide money. But then that woman who wanted to fuck Pierce Broson, too, she was like there's nothing on him. There's nothing there. Wait, that lady was so sad. She was like, well, I guess you won't fuck me.

She was like, I got, she was like, I got tired of waiting for you. How long was she waiting? He's been married until just recently when his daughter died. And then she was like, by the way, what are we up to here? Hey, I heard Mandy R-I-Ped, let's do this.

The timeline of this movie might be three months from when the daughter drowned in the pool to now. It's very short. And the journalist is like, let's do this? Yeah, I was kind of pulling for her, him and the journalist, or the bomb girl. Yeah, any. By the way, the bomb lab is in an office building with all windows. Like, there's, like, the full laboratory.

Like, I don't think this is healthy for, like, the specimens or anything. And then they're showing him. He's like, I'm going to show you how this bomb works. Pierce Brousson puts his fucking face up to the test tube. I mean, look, like, you work with bombs. Like, don't do it. But also, he saw what the bombs do. They turn you into the devil?

Yeah. And then you explode? I thought this was a great special effect. The people turning into the bomb. Right. Bloodshot eyes, the bleed. Like, I thought this was great as a, because of like, the idea being like, oh, this is explosive, this is crazy, but that it is inside of people, it looked terrific.

My favorite one was the judge. Yes. Yes. The judge was great. Yes, because her back like ripped open a little like pre-com and then and then it's like and you can still get pregnant then.

If you just are starting to leak a little bomb pre-com you can still get pregnant. I literally I literally said to somebody backstage you're like is it okay for your son to watch a show? We never talk about dirty stuff in this show. There you go.

So many questions to answer on the ride home but what I do love I want to show that judge exploding but what I do also love is like they run back into that courthouse and he's like up there's still water in the jug

really like here it is the jug is still full of water the whole fucking courtroom it did well that's the thing is it's very good because each human body is this the explosion oh fuck yeah

Vera Blair Oh, fuck, I love her. So hot. Having said that, this case, 7487-4. Johnny, I want to see you with that hair. People in the District of Columbia against Savio Capelli. Uh-oh.

Since the defendant does not have a lawyer, the court has appointed Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis, are you ready to enter a plea on the charges of... Mr. Lewis, are you ready to enter a plea on the charges... No. No.

That looks great. I love it. That floppy hair. It's from her. He stayed in front of that door for way too long. It's so much damage. So much damage. And I've been to court.

Why was there a partition? I mean, I guess like to stop assassinate? I've never seen that. Me either. And I've been. Also, if they're supposed to be bulletproof glass. It's not good. It melted very quickly.

It melted immediately. Oh my gosh. I love that everyone also checks their watch. I got it. 30 seconds is quick. Like, just go. Like, yep, she drank it. I'm out.

Pierce Broston clocks that. He clocks the guy getting nervous. He clocks her drinking the water. And he's still like, here's the thing. If you're an accomplice to a villain, don't wear an identifying earring. I mean, he never took it out.

Never. Big time. Let's go to the crowd here. Let's talk to you all. I'm sure that you all. I'll have points of view, ideas, questions. Obviously, you knew how the thing worked. All right.

So we're going to go to you because you actually understood the evil plan. So what's your name? Alex. Okay, and Alex, and what's your question? So I reached out to my science teacher about bombs being ingested. How old are you? 15. Love it.

You're as old as this show. Which is true and chilling. So basically this is kind of a summer. what he said. So he said, the human body is mostly water, so it's not good for explosives. Explosives require

fuel, oxygen, and ignition, and the stomach doesn't have any of these? And you're writing him on spring break. He must think you're the coolest. He's like, wow, all right, yeah. I didn't tell him it was a movie. Yeah, yeah, no, I love it. I love that.

You didn't tell him it was a movie? You were just like, thinking about bombs. See you next week. You're going to get arrested. Super quick Q. vis-a-vis school, can a body be a bomb? Wow.

All right, so, yeah, so basically can't work. Can't work. Okay, that's good. All right, yes. Hi, what's your name and question? My name is Sam. Assuming this bomb technology is real. Which we know it can't be.

The villain was so upset about this deal and his $10 million. Why didn't he just sell this technology to another country? I mean, he's obsessed with revenge. Right, because he didn't care. He just wanted, I mean, his word is more important than... Well, he wants to get $10 million off of an arms deal. He's sitting on, like, a gangbusters bomb technology

that he could sell for tens of millions of dollars, if not more. But yet he kills the poor scientists. I just like, hey, I would love it if you gave me a check. I've been working real hard. He's like, he'll fucking kill you. It's like, why? Why him? Do you have a pen? And then stabs him with his own pen?

And then the other guy cleans it off. Like he's going to use it later. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. As if he's like, hey, this is a good pen. But also leaves him in the doorframe of the elevator. So no one, every day is like, people are just like, click, click, click, click. Why is this elevator not coming? Because it's just hitting that dead body just boom, boom, boom.

A lot of elevator work in this movie. Yes, hi. What's your name and your question? My name is Dan. I just want to know the lady in the car. What is her dating pool? Because this was pre-internets. There's not a lot of instructions on how to make

bombs, but those were relatively sophisticated bombs from both her husband. How do you know? I asked my science. Everybody look under your seats. He's back. But she learned her lesson. She didn't leave her husband,

but she's still dating, like, because it's her boyfriend. But she said, this one's my boyfriend. So she's still cheating. She's still cheating on the husband. Yeah. But the husband's not upset about it. The boyfriend is? I do. I also want to know her story. Yeah, I want to see her.

She's a more compelling character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I also love it in that final scene where they're like, he's doing it. And then you're like, hey, buddy, you're going to be a dad. Your wife just gave birth. And he's like, oh, I got to leave now. It's like, he seems surprised that he's a dad. Like, it was delivered like, hey, you wouldn't have guessed it.

Your brother just came in from Cincinnati. And then he runs to the hospital. Yeah. You don't see him get in a car, get on the bus, nothing. Yeah. It is confound. that he... And again, that woman's car

in the middle of a street. Just like she was driving her tick, tick, tick, and called? I mean, like, when she goes home and her husband is like, how is your day? Is she like, there was a bomb in the car? Like, is she talking about it? Is she dating Dennis Hopper from speed?

And it's like the origin story. I wish that was a movie. Yes. Oh, yes. Hi. Adam and, did you catch what... Pierce said to her when he goes, your husband really knows what he's doing.

This bomb is really cute. Was he talking about her pussy when he said that? Like, what was he? Yes. You know what? Yeah, no further. All right, hey, what's up? So you're saying her pussy is the bomb?

Yeah, all that and a bag of chips. Oh! Salt and Vinny? Ew! Oh, wow. It's got a wang to it. Wow, that is sharp. If someone ever ate me out and went,

salt and vinegar, I would walk into traffic. That or C-Salt and cracked pepper. By the way, that's the way that the sex scene originally ended. Yes, okay, again, my children are here tonight. By the way, so we all have talked about Jafar and dressing the clown costume, but we have yet to notice the person that she's sitting next to. Can you please also stand up?

He is wearing a shirt that says Jafar's boyfriend, please help me. That's funny, because if you guys weren't walking together, someone would be like, I knew Jafar from Aladdin was gay. That happened to us at the Santa Monica Pier earlier. That did happen? The lady operating the carousel at the pier was like, I love your shirt.

I love Jafar and Aladdin. You dressed like this all day? No, God, no. We went and had dinner down the street, and then I put this makeup on in the car at, like, 6.30. What do you think I am? Well, Jafar? I don't know.

Imagine you're walking by a car, and this is being assembled. Also, that's so funny. Jafar's like, what do you take me as as you're sitting here like a clown? What do you take? I love you, Jafar. All right, Jafar. What do you got?

So, we did not have directors' commentary, on this DVD and I'm sad about it but we did have a eight minute long extended sex sequence It's eight minutes Hamina ha'm gonna It's like the samurai It's like the samurai cop sex scene

It's just awful There were six position changes Oh There's six positions Wait a minute Did this movie invent five positions? To be honest To be honest

Five of them was him finding bombs on her body and diffusing them. A caveat to all of that fucking is that this movie was in pre-production when Pierce Brosnan lost his wife at a very young age from ovarian cancer. I was going to keep this part a little bit out of the show, but go ahead. We may just edit this Jafar. They had production meetings because Pierce Brosnan was upset about having to have such intimate scenes, and they were like, if you want to be James Bond, you'd be. better, like, whip your butt out.

Wait a minute. Where comedy goes to die. Wait, in talks already. So, he was sad about his wife who passed away. They shoot an eight-minute sexing and then cut it from the movie? Well, Nicole, here's the thing that's going to really boggy your mind. This movie never came out in theater. What?

No. This movie was a TBS, like, TNT, not even a, like, showtime. That doesn't make sense. Yeah. Oh, HB, thank you. Oh, all right, here we go. This is, it's a very odd story. So basically...

Do people have sex for eight minutes? Eight minutes six positions? I mean, that is like, I'm out. That's... If you add them together, that's double digits. I'm pretty sure that's not how sex works. So this is what they say. The film was being prepped as a summer blockbuster

when New Line Cinema is trying to diversify its films. And then it just never made it to the theater. Wait, where is, I have the reason why. Did it go? So you have the reason why? I have the reason why. They watched it. Yeah, yeah.

Wow. That's incredible. Like, there's a reason. Because this is not a cheap, like this is, that's a huge hit. Yeah. It was $9 million. That's a lot of money. In 1992, that's like $10 million.

Can I ask you a question very briefly? Yes, sir. How did our main bad guy, when did he swallow the liquid? Oh, when he's got the gun to that lady's head, he has a little vile and he went, gog-go-go-go-go-go-go. And then... I missed that. I missed that. Sorry, because he knows it's over from...

By the way, we have been talking the entire time about what the reason is. Like, why, why did they do it? And this is the closest that we have is this scene here. That fool was right. It is completely undetected. This looks like how the Joker is made. The power of formula can give us. Nothing will stand in our way.

Nothing. Sometimes I wonder, what's it all for? Really? Like, I would believe you if you told me they improvised those lines. You're like, that makes no sense. What is that? Why would you keep that in? That adds up to zero.

Yeah. There was also a weird gay joke at one point. Oh, yes, I have that one too. Okay, thank you. I was, because it came so late the movie, it's like, wait, we're doing, it was in like the middle of like the third act, like thing. Yeah, this is it. I got it right here.

Hold on. Okay, so this is. Guess who? Look, I've alerted my security. I've also got a man in the house. Your sexual preferences don't interest. me. You could have killed

hundreds of the missing people today. Well, only because they matter to you. Now, I'm not in the mood to wait any longer. I have a life, you know. But if you kill me, you won't get anything. Not true. I get to kill you. Okay, you'll get you 10 million.

Again, no, no plot. Well, what's weird, too, is if you kill me, you won't get anything. That's not true. I get to kill you. It's so weird. weirdly done. It's as if he's clarifying,

but he's just restating what Ron Silver said. It's really weird. And so much of the threat is all phone-based. The bad guy's always calling the senators to be like, I'm gonna get you. And they're like, you can't touch me. I'm Philip Baker Hall.

I'm immune to the... And the next thing you know, his guy's like, glug, glug, glug, I love this water, boom. I do think, I'm just thinking back to that robot. Was the robot's name Madonna? Madonna, yeah, Madonna. And they just pour stuff into the robot's belly at a certain point.

I just, it just seems like they're very unsafe with, like, explosives, liquids and everything. Because that could just blow up the robot, too. The robot, at one point they say, it's napalm, it's T&T, it's dynamite, it's everything. It's like, it's everything. Boy, we didn't know how good. good we had it. Obviously, we had opinions about this film, but now it is time for second opinions.

Hello, my name's Anna. Gotta get that. Run till the hit that. Then he went splat. Gotta get that, that, that. Five-star review, view, view. Filmed watched by few, few, few. Bad guys confused, fused, fused.

That judge, she flew, flew, flu. Yo, I got that five-star review. As pinching robots, that's new. Sanatars get blue. up from the inside. Ew. That clown outfit. Knock a kid out of wheelchair shit.

These bodies boom, boom, boom. Live wires, doom, doom, doom. These bombs go boom, boom, boom, pal. Brosnan's a cuck somehow. Sack it up biscuit made like how. Handcuffed to this guy that I hate, but he met his rock iron fate. So no more boom, boom, boom.

Don't drink the one. That was amazing. You did not know that Johnny was going to be here. Do you bet these people before? They're amazing. No, they're amazing. That is amazing. Oh, my...

But that's like, that's an Irving Zisman song. Yes, it was. I was trying to remember the dance steps, but I couldn't even remember Timothy Dalton or Pierce Bros. You're saying you don't have very good long-term memory. Do you think...

It's been altered. Can you attribute that to anything? Live wire. Here we go. There are 523 total reviews of LiveWire on Amazon and 63% are five-star reviews.

Here's a sample. What? Yep, 63%. And this one is from Jerry. What's not to like? Nude Pierce-Brosden? I mean, not through the whole movie, of course. Which I would have liked to see that. Pretty good story.

I liked it. I mean, I liked it years ago when I first saw it. And I still like it. I mean, I must like it. I bought it, right? Kind of improbable, but I like that. Five stars, great Pierce-Brosden movie. Then it goes to Kimberly Hatch. She did this in 2020.

I like Amazon. They always deliver my items on time, five stars. Can you imagine writing a review for your experience on Amazon somehow on the page for live wire. I'm sure they said, review your purchase, and she was like, oh, my purchasing experience?

Got it. What a life for Kimberly Hatch. This one in 2014 was written by Joe and goes, although very entertaining, this movie should be viewed as a warning of what could happen across the globe. Very sick people out there that want to exact hurt on Western societies.

another wake-up movie, five stars. He needs to email his high school science teacher. Because it's not possible. And then this one from Jonathan Fritz, who writes... Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek? Sorry, Jonathan Fritz. Jonathan Fritz did love this film. He goes, at first he was doing bomb stuff.

Then he turned into a spy. Love when he got back to his... roots of doing bomb stuff. Great performance by the robot. Five stars. I agree. I agree. And the final review, just, and this might be, I fear, this is somebody that is a fan of ours

who saw that we were doing this, but I'll read it anyway. Don't reward them. Pierce Brasen has a girly ass. Five stars. Has a girly ass. Yeah. Didn't like his ass. What did that mean, do we think? Is that an insult?

Yeah. I mean, they did give it five stars, but I feel like they wanted a more masculine ass. Maybe they knew he was deeply hairy and went to the same source you went to and said, this too girly, what a hair at? Did you write it? Whatever, shut up. Anyway, we have a lot of great reviews. Yeah, and right, right, right, okay.

In addition to the eight-minute sex scene, there is, the UK version is highly edited because you cannot show making bombs and apparently this movie is very explicit and correct about making bombs. So that was pretty good. Yeah, and then there's a special thanks at the end of the film to Julia Child and the ladies pro-bowler tour. Because that's, yeah, that's what he's watching on TV. Oh, oh, oh, oh. He watches Julia Child and then there's bowling.

Oh, okay, I thought this is a joke of there now. You're super perceptive. I thought he was Timothy Dalton through half of the movie, and you're noticing this shit. And if you are wondering, yes, there was a live wire to Human Time Bomb. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Human Time Bomb? It says it has very little correlation to this movie. Sounds like the plot. The title seems right on the money. Human time. We got to do it. And it says... Wait, has anybody seen it?

No, okay. It says... It says a computer chip turns an FBI agent into a lethal weapon. And it reuses scenes from another film called Cyborg Cop. So... I think we got to do them all. Yeah. Yeah, so that is this.

Who's in it? I don't know. Another James Bond. Timothy Dalton, as a matter of fact. You know what I loved, I just want to say. We talked about the fact that early in the movie, Pierce Brosnan is served a restraining order from his wife, from his wife, rather.

That happens on the highway that is blocked off from everything where he is diffusing a car bomb, between the leg scene. The guy manages to get all the way through to serve him a restraining order. That was wild today. And she completely ignores it. the whole movie. Yeah.

Yeah, he keeps saying you shouldn't be here. You're violating your own restraining on you. Here in this tub. We also didn't talk about how Pierce Broson handcuffed himself to that man and I was like,

you're going to slow yourself down? Yeah. Why not just handcuff him to anything else? Well, he did handcuff him to a pillar in the middle of the bedroom and then unhandcuffed him and then handcuffed him to him.

Like, did you think they were going to fuck? Yes. Hoping. That's on the DVD. When they were in the bedroom, weren't you like, maybe this is going to jump off? Yeah, I thought Pierce was going to be like, boom, let me suck your dick.

Oh, what? That's the only way you could get back at him. Or just gentle kissing. Okay, so final thoughts, anything that we haven't covered anything before, would you recommend this movie, Jason? Yeah, I actually would. This was fun as hell.

I mean, it's absolutely not. nuts. It makes no sense, but it's a blast. And it helps that I do. I feel like everybody in it is throwing themselves all the way in, in service of absolute dog shit, which is one of my favorite things for our movies. You know, like, they're going for it, and it's not working, and it's wonderful. And they're all good. That's the thing is it's Pierce Prasden. It's Ron Silver. Like, these are good people. But the movie

is dog shit. How dare you? I mean, it does feel like a point that's like, are they making fun of this? Or are they? Oh, no. Because it's like, yeah, because they're not. And that's what's kind of like, so it's, the earnestness really does work for me. I mean, I imagine if instead of Pierce Brosnan, not to make it too much of a callback, but it was Jean-Claude Van Dam.

I don't think it would have worked as good. Really? Yeah. Interesting. I think he's got more of like a, well, I'm going to say, he's a good action. actor, so he's actually... Who is? Pierce Brosnan.

Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. John... Sorry. Didn't want... It's almost like he's playing things too heavy. Like, it causes it unbalanced.

I kind of wanted Pierce Broson to be replaced by someone who was in Ron Silver's movie. Yes. You know, which would have been like a a seagal, a Chuck Norris. Oh, it's a great seagal. I'm like, I'll fucking separate you from your life.

Yes. Like, that's... There it is. Yeah, it's like, yeah. There it is. Nicole, any final thoughts on live wire? What a treat. I am going to rewatch it because I do want to see that eight-minute sex scene.

I think we're all going to go home tonight and rewatch the eight-minute sex scene. But do I have to buy the DVD? All right. There it is. Nicole, Jafar. I can't wait to get home to that nice man in my life and go, Jafar gave me live wire and not explain. plain a thing.

We get to watch the eight-minute sex scene, babe. You made me watch Indiana Jones. I'm going to make you watch LiveWire. He's like, LiveWire made me gay. Thank you, Jafar. Johnny, it's been

amazing to have you here. What do you think? Any final thoughts on LiveWire? I realized I miss so much. And I have to go re-watch as soon as I get home. It's really it's one that just keeps on giving.

Thank you. Oh, wait, well, sorry, I forgot this. Anyone have anything they want to plug? Jason, Nicole, or Jason, do you have anything you want to plug? No, not really. Okay, Nicole, anything? I'm in the world. All right, great. Johnny? Nope.

All right, great. Got nothing here. Thank you, Largo. Give it up for Largo. Jason Manzook is Nicole. Johnny Knoxville. We will be back. Make sure you come check out Dinosaur.
