One nine hundred hot dog.
Hot dog.
One nine hundred hot dog.
Hot dog.
Our podcast slams with maximum hype.
Say hot dog podcast word.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you taste that nitrate power,
you're in the dog zone for an hour.
Come on.
Do not win number.
One nine hundred.
One nine hundred hot dog.
One nine hundred hot dog.
Hot dog.
One nine hundred.
One nine hundred hot dog.
One nine zero zero zero.
Yeah.
Nine thousand.
Welcome to the dog zone.
Nine thousand, the official zone
of one nine hundred hot dog.
Dot com, the final comedy website.
If you're listening to this at the end of twenty twenty two,
come visit and see the nine seven
hundreds of articles we produced.
We are the best and you suck at MCs
are absolutely whack.
I'm Sean baby from the internet
and I'm joined by my co-hot dog
and pro big hog Robert Brockway.
I'm Robert Brockway.
Here's a Brockway fact.
I have an elaborate
lower body unit that augments
my destructive power.
No follow up questions.
Our guest today is a hot sauce man
and a movie fan.
He hosts the VHS podcast.
Dirk, welcome to the show.
You're a Portland culinary star
and you and your wife run the Marshall's
hot sauce company.
It's great to have you back.
I am quite a strength man droid.
How hot?
Hot?
That's how you say it, right?
I've never said it out loud.
No one calls it.
People just say Marshall's hot sauce,
but like I mean twelve years ago
it was a funny pun, very clever.
And then I had over a decade
of people explaining it to me.
So it's been sheer hell.
That's hard, I'm sorry.
I mean it was your mistake.
I mean that's some pretentious shit.
I'm an educated man
and I have trouble saying it.
I have a bachelor's of science and art.
This is very stupid
but every time I see that little thing
over the E, I never say it
any differently. I just make a little mark
on my finger.
So I'm not an educated man?
I'll do a Swedish chef voice
for like four minutes surrounding
every umlaut I see.
And that's your fault for fucking putting
an umlaut in your word.
I think it's an accent agoo.
Am I correct there? I don't know.
Accent agoo.
Anyway, welcome back.
I'm really glad to have you here today
because we're talking a movie
but before we do that,
I do want you to plug. I know we just plugged
your head sauce
but let's talk about your podcast
because my intro got super mangled.
I find a movie that has a profession
and then I find a stranger
that has that profession and I make them
watch the movie and then talk to me about their life.
Yeah, we just started season 11.
We're kind of mixing it up this season
so some of those same episodes
will happen with the profession
but we just did an episode with Edmund McMillan
that did a binding of Isaac
and Super Meat Boy the video games
and we just talked about like 10 movies
that mean a lot to us and it's deeply disturbing
so I recommend people check that out.
I bet that guys movies are weird.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're looking for one of our classic episodes
we did a class of 1999 with a teacher.
We had a kickboxer on
and covered the movie Chuck D
and then
someone who identifies as a mermaid
and we talked about the Polish murderous mermaid musical
so there's some of the content.
They can find it.
VHUS underscore podcast on Twitter and Instagram.
Were we supposed to be doing seasons?
Do podcasts?
Do we fuck this up?
Only if you like to take breaks
and lose listeners.
That's basically the structure of a season.
I do like that.
Today we are talking about Eliminators
which is kind of one of those
perfect movies from 1986.
No one remembers anything about it other than the amazing cover
featuring an action team
that nobody remembers anything about
other than the tank-legged cyborg.
It's written by the same writing team as Irina
and has the director of Irina
because we remembered this movie
when we did the podcast about Irina.
The ninja's actor's name
is Conan Lee which is a fucking great
and it says like a Turkish movie about a Kung Fu barbarian.
I love the name Conan Lee.
I wish they hadn't changed it for the movie.
Why would you have him play anybody but himself?
Conan Lee adds himself.
Yeah, who do you play?
Kooji?
That's much worse.
Can we name him Fuji?
I can only think of seven or eight Japanese things.
Yeah, Fuji's fine.
No, maybe Kooji.
Well, nobody's going to buy Conan Lee.
The name's probably like Bruce Wang or something.
He's like, no, no, no, I got it.
I got my stage name ready.
We didn't see this guy a lot.
I just thought he was great
in the way that
we were all great ninjas at age nine.
I feel like
he really captured that
nine-year-old playing ninja
very well.
That a lot of people would be too self-conscious to do.
A lot of people would do movements
like him and feel very embarrassed
and stop doing them but not Conan Lee.
No, he did not stop doing them.
Not ever.
Not even when he wasn't the focus of the shot
because he always had a little hand thing
to do.
He always says ninja hand.
We'll talk about him later, I guess.
Before we even start talking about the plot of the movie,
as we do that,
we're going to play a game called Ragtag Recruiter.
Now,
the way we play is the two of you,
Dirk and Brock,
where you're the head of a ragtag adventure squad.
You may each select one real skill
you currently have right now in your life
and use that during the game.
So, Dirk, what is the skill,
your real life skill you're bringing to this game?
I have the ability to turn
any conversation
into a discussion about a movie that I want
to talk about.
That could be a very powerful ability.
Brockway?
Fuckin'.
Hell,
yes.
That could also come in really handy.
So, during the game,
this is the only skill you can personally use
to get out of jams.
You can either switch the conversation to movies
or fuck.
I know what I'm going to do.
I forgot to have time.
As we
go through the movie,
two of you are going to imagine that you're in each jam
facing the eliminators.
If you can handle it yourself, great.
Otherwise, you have to recruit someone
with a very specific occupation.
You are not allowed to pick cyborg or ninja.
Basically, we're going to see if someone could beat
you using only household materials.
The object of the game is to beat the movie
with the smallest ragtag squad possible.
If you can use
the same occupation multiple times
or fuck your way out of everything, great.
Brockway, you're in charge of keeping track
of your team.
Please get a pen and paper ready
or the cyber equivalent to that.
Here are some sub-rules.
Assume each job is very specialized.
In the case of argument,
I am the Eliminator Master
So, those are the rules.
Are we clear on the rules?
Yes. No. Perfect.
What are your questions?
I don't have any.
I'm just not clear. I'm the same body.
I'm the son of my life.
So, the movie opens
with credits, of course.
And during the credits, there's a pilot crashing.
And then there's a bunch of Roman gladiators
getting shot by lasers and running away.
And
this is great storytelling because it's exactly
what you were hoping for.
An evil scientist has sent
a mandroid through time that he has made
out of a dead crashed pilot.
That's how you get started on him.
That's how you fuck every other cold open.
That's how you sell me on a movie
from now on.
11 out of 10. No question.
Just amazing.
So, now we're like
we've established
that's the plot of the movie, kind of.
The scientist guy is sort of being kept alive
in his first colostomy bag.
He's like plugging this shit into himself.
He's got like...
Yeah, his face is melting off.
I wrote down science juice.
I wrote down who needs to fill up on science juice.
So, we all had our own take.
Yeah, that's a nicer way of putting it.
So, now that he's confident
his time orb works.
Because the mandroid came back, he's like,
I don't remember anything, but here's a Roman shield.
He's like, okay, cool.
Now we can go ahead and kill our Robocop.
We can level kill him, I guess, because he was already dead.
No more need
for this Robocop
said fucking nobody in history.
Nobody. For the dumbest asshole.
He has an assistant named Takata.
And
Takata is like a good guy working for the evil scientist.
Not sure why.
I don't know what leverage he has on him.
I don't think they established that.
And he's like, dude, you can't
you can't kill Robocop because
there's a running theme of this movie
that falls in love with mandroid.
He is very sexual.
He's also part of his scowls.
Yes.
He always seems a little cranky,
but it works on everybody.
Reeves does not care about ethics or compassion.
Because Takata is like, dude,
you can't.
He's a guy.
He's mostly a guy.
And the evil scientist Reeves is like,
do you think
I've had it easy?
Because he has a weird face.
So that's why you can do evil.
That's
your permission slip for evil, right here.
Yeah,
pretty thin, I guess.
But technically, the movie has established
the motivators for the characters.
Yes, it's pink guy.
He's got pink guy, and now he's evil.
I mean, who wouldn't be cranky with pink guy?
That's true.
So Takata warns mandroid,
he's like, Mandroid, you gotta get it out of the base,
we're going to kill you.
our first eliminators jam. The two of you need to get out of the base. Oh man. I can't wait
to hear what Robert's going to fuck. There are a few directions I can fuck. I don't know if
they're getting us out of the base. We could be we could be Kings of the base.
You got a clear goal. You beat Kings of the base will be almost the opposite of your goal.
All right. Can I fuck my way out of the base like literally?
I feel like I resonate. Can I thrust to the resonations of stone of I'm sorry,
like South American stone, stonework masonry, loosen the mortar enough through just vibration.
I think the security is too good. I think they would hear the
I think they would hear it if you were trying to just perfectly slam through a wall.
And I feel like a Mexican military base in a 1986 American action movie is way too homophobic
a place to to attempt to have sex with the 11 or 12 men. You'd have to have sex with it out.
All right. Fine. I'll recruit. Okay. I am going to recruit a golf cart driver. Let's say a caddy,
a teenage caddy, complete with golf cart. Okay, because that's all it takes to get out of here.
In the movie, Mandroid, of course, famously grabs his mobile unit, which is that's also what I call
mine. And it's just tank legs, but in the same way that like a centaur is built, like he's like
half his half tank, half man in the same way a centaur is calf horse. And it does nothing.
All of his weapons, all of his weapons are still on him. It supplies no weapons. It moves
at three miles an hour and it tips over very easily. So to get out of this base, I will need
a golf cart driven by probably a probably a high 14 year old caddy.
Okay, so you've got a high teen caddy driving a golf cart. That's 100% going to work. You
absolutely can just drive that right out of the base. There's no reason to think anyone
would care. Most of the guards would be like, oh, hey, Mandroid, hey, Takata, going for a golf
in the jungle. Yes, so yeah, I'll allow it. So write that down. You now have a
teen caddy on your team. And I'll allow him to be high, which could theoretically imply he has a
little more weed on him if that would come with golf cart and everything that comes equipped
with a caddy. Sure. That's true. Like you would have golf clubs.
Let's see. They have ball washers. He's got ball washers probably.
Connections that will last a lifetime. That's true. He's probably got a rich uncle.
Okay, so I love this tank. It's like a real practical effect. I want everyone listening.
If you haven't seen Eliminators, they've really built like a powered wheelchair that looks like
a tank. They built a fucking tank legs, actual tank legs. It looks really uncomfortable. Like
he's all crammed in there so his legs are up behind him because he does sort of look like he
doesn't have legs while he's in it in a kind of impressive way. Like I was fully convinced as
a kid, this was a robot man. No, that rules. It rules completely. It's completely part of the poster.
Yes. The only part of the poster anyone remembers. So Takata gets killed and he
gives the mandroid a mission to go find Colonel Hunter. So this movie is so good about motivating
the characters. Mandroid takes that shit downstairs, just wipes out everybody on the way out. But
the bad guys have a super hair belly who has like a hunting rifle with like a triple radar scope on
the top of it. And this is the main antagonist for most of the movie. Just this, this, I don't know
I've seen this actor in other things, but he just sort of plays the same like squealing hillbilly
in every movie. He shoots mandroid in the head, blows his arm off. Mandroid eventually blows
through the wall. So that's how the movie handles this jam is they shoot he shoots a rocket through
the wall and leaves that way. So now here's your next jam. You got to get through these woods.
Brock, where are you going to fuck something? Oh, I thought I thought you were taking the
lead on this one. I took the lead on the last one. I wanted to give you a chance to do something
before I fucked it. Okay, it's generally because it's it's it's done after I fucked something.
Okay, well, I mean, at this point, we'd be alone in the woods. So there's no one for me to talk to.
So I'm kind of stuck here. I mean, we have we do have a high caddy in a golf cart. Oh, that's
right. Can we just did he grow up there? And he helps get through the woods? I bet he has a connection
through this through this excellent networking opportunity that has been granted to him by his
parents, who are good friends with the guy that runs the golf club. I'm sure after recruit because
this golf course not going to make it through the jungle. And he's got no cell reception since
it's 1986. But he knows some he knows a gardener. Are we going to recruit in the gardener or does
does it count that he just knows one that'll do him a favor? An entire landscaping team
that owes him a favor. Can we turn the jungle into a winery through people we know?
You get a long term solution in mind. Yeah, yeah, like technically, it's not the woods
anymore. If it's a very nice winery. That's a good point. All right. I'm at propo of nothing.
I'm going to recruit a caveman guide. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, on the same page.
Perfect. Allow inexplicable caveman. I would like him to come from nowhere in particular
and not be explained for a very long time. We'll explain in about 40 minutes. But yeah,
caveman guide. Absolutely. He's on your team. That's a perfect addition to the ragtag squad.
So back at the base, we meet Denise Crosby, who plays Colonel Nora Hunter. I think she's an
Air Force Colonel. But in the movie, she's just like a like a robot mechanic. She has built a
little robot buddy that can fly and has a personality. It's a full on Star Wars creature
can like teleport. Then and yet it looks like a 1986 Nintendo peripheral that you would do very,
very disappointed to see in real life that you would be like super stoked to see. And then you'd
be like, oh, when I saw it this time, I was like, is that the robot from black hole? Wasn't there
a robot like this in black hole? It looks a lot like it. Yeah, except I think that had tits on the
bottom of it. And this is just like this is just like a water cooler, like a little little water
jug. He does look like robotic operated buddy. He's just playing some gyromite. Anyway, the base
is being attacked by man droid. He's infiltrating. He takes out a security guard and then this other
nerd security guards like I'm gonna fucking shoot whoever's doing this. Like he's going full die
hard. So here's your jam. There's an Android infiltrating your base.
We're not the ones infiltrating. No, you're Denise Crosby in this situation. Oh,
shit, super magnet. I'm gonna fuck it. I'm gonna fuck the Android.
Well, he does not have genitals, but he is very capable of love as this movie makes clear.
Your fuck abilities will allow you to disarm him. He literally he has swappable arms. I think
that's where his genitals are going to be. Well, your skills are fucking you'll find you'll find
where to put it. Like that's your specialized ability. We don't need to go through all the
details here on the podcast. But needless to say, he's very satisfied and no longer attacking people.
No, I can go through the detail. We can go through the details.
Hold on. You gotta cut that last 50 minutes. Did you say his genitals are in his armpits? Is
this alienation rules? Is that what we're doing? Well, he can swap in and out. He has to swap his
arms and he has an infinite supply of them behind his back. So I'm going to say at least 70% of
them are genitals geared for different situations because that's that's what I have and I'm not
even a mandroid. I love the idea of him being in battle and being like, oh, no, this one's a dick too.
Oh, no. Oh, yeah, this one's a dick too. This is my favorite fight I've ever had.
So now, Denise Crosby and John Doe, the mandroid meat, and she's like, you're just a machine,
you you fucking piece of shit. And I have a clip here because it's really good.
And what's more, he's stolen my design to bastardize them.
That last little explosion was his head exploding.
So he shows up and they they established very quickly, like, there's this like conflict between
whether he's a man or a machine. And then he's like, I got to go to Mexico and kill that guy.
And then his head explodes. And this leads us to your next jam. You got yourself a malfunctioning
mandroid. I don't know, Robert, do you want to fuck him? Well, I'm still fucking him.
So I think it might be functioning. Yeah, I think it might be cheating to say like,
like I fuck him when it's it's still it is still going down, baby.
Honestly, if you could just get some of the semen out of him, he'd probably be working again.
No, you might be able to get through this if you just hire someone who carries him up.
Oh, then I'm going to take the search patrol and operational technician, otherwise known as
Spot and have it siphon all the semen out of the mandroid. I'll allow it. So you now have a
flying robot buddy on your team. So please make a note of that. His
semen capacity is maxed out. I should just make a note of that as well.
If they're he can't do that another another time.
So Denise Crosby, she figures out that he does have a functioning human brain as she
starts pulling out his hard drives, which causes him to remember that he has been lasering the
Romans, which reminds everyone, holy shit, this is a time travel movie. And which is it's important
because the movie will not remember that until the end. It's true. They dropped so many hints
that like, this is a time travel movie, Denise Crosby. She's like, hmm, this is strange. Why
would there be these dinosaur bones here in this future tank? Anyway, that doesn't specifically
happen. What I love about the end of this scene is that the end of that clip even is that he says,
he stumbles in there and is like, Hey, what's up? I'm a mandroid. Those exist. I'm on a revenge
mission against this dude. You sort of know I'm going to go kill him. And within 15 seconds,
she says, yes, absolutely. I'm coming too. And that's how the scene ends. And there's no
convince everybody in this movie is so gung-ho to be in this movie. They're just fucking stoked.
They're like, hell, yes. I'm going with the mandroid on a revenge mission.
Well, she has to stop them from making more horrible monsters like this guy. No offense.
I also love that when they meet, mandroid has like a tarp over himself and I wrote like,
he broke into the facility meeting the doctor and he's still wearing the hat.
He does wear disguise like he's like a Ninja Turtle or the thing. Like he's just like,
Oh, I got a hat on. No one will know I'm a fucking monster now.
Just a lot of bad hats. They're all real bad hats.
But they also seem to live in a world where like, it's not that crazy that a guy's half robot.
Like people see him, they're like, Oh, oh, this makes sense. Right. You're half robot. Okay.
Okay. So they drive off and they stop at a stop sign for a very, very, very long time,
long enough for local criminals to attack them. So here's your next eliminator's jam.
You stopped too long at a traffic light and you are attacked by a pair of car jackers.
Is this me?
Whoever. You're a team.
Okay. Well, I'm going to, you know what? I'm still fucking the mandroid.
Seaman capacity. I'm not sure how this helps the situation, but it doesn't hurt, baby.
All right. Fantastic.
But that does mean you need to probably recruit someone who can stop a pair of car jackers,
unless Dirk, you think you could start a movie discussion that would distract from the crime?
Yeah. Actually, when they, when they have their guns out and are going to kick us out of the car,
I, I, maybe I see a tree and I remind them about the movie, The Guardian, that because Robert's
the mandroid fucking machine also involves a woman having sex with a tree. And then perhaps they
want to go see that. Fuck yeah, they want to see that. That does sound like a good movie. We're sorry
for carjacking you. I think jam solved. In the movie, the mandroid uses his magnetic hand to pull
one of their guns away and then explodes a car next to them while they run away, which is a great
time to let everyone know that I don't think anyone in this movie dies. It has a real like
joyful GI Joe kind of sense of danger where just there's gunfights all the time, but no one gets
hit. And when they do, it's by a laser that's probably a sleep laser. That's absolutely what
this entire movie is. This is, this is two kids with ADD playing GI Joe's and mashing up like all
of their toys because they were poor like me and didn't have a bunch of GI Joe's. They had whatever
the fuck they could assemble out of like eight different toy lines. There's another moment that
happens around here where earlier the mandroid looks at the little robot buddy and says that little
robot is too shiny to infiltrate the woods. And then in this next scene, he reveals himself to have
like a new camouflage paint job, which is just just so fucking stupid, especially since he travels
by energy ball. So fantastic. There's another weird scene in this where the mandroid has his
chest played off and his chest is all jacked up from when he was, I guess, autopsied. And
Denise Crosby walks in and she's like, oh, oh, gosh, I saw your horrible scars. And it's kind of
awkward because he's not very fuckable, which is a tough thing to accept for a mostly marvelous
robot with penis. Yeah, no, you've proven that wrong. But under most circumstances,
very few people would find a place to have sex with this thing.
So now they need a guide for the Mexican River to find the enemy secret base. And here's where
we meet the sassy riverboat guide, Harry Fontana, fantastic name. And we get his backstory and the
backstory of this town, which is he's undercutting the other river guides. And one of them is a real
butch lady who punches him in the hand and then threatens to punch him again. She's like the
80s idea of a lesbian, which was just a very cranky Andy Richter. And then Denise Crosby walks in
and the whole goddamn bar is like, va, va, va, boom, like everybody in this bar stops what they're
doing and like turns into a cartoon wolf. Look at this total lack of disease right here.
She doesn't have any weeping sores on her face. Va, va, boom. She says she wants the toughest guide
here and a fist fight instantly breaks out. The butch lady, Bayo Betty punches her own partner,
punches the guy she would presumably take with her on the gig. And I have a claim just to
yes, he's with his name Maurice. He's very, very French. I have a clip to show you how long it
takes for her to say these words and for a fight to break out. What do you want? I want the toughest
guide in the place. It's such a abrupt chaos. I love it. Everybody again, everybody is so gung
hoe. Like all the extras in this movie were just fucking jumping the second they saw a little flag
go up there like, yes, let's do it. But here's your next jam. You need to recruit a competent river
guide. I've recruited a competent river guy. Yeah, just with the skills you have as a okay,
I guess that makes sense. Do you think you'd try it the same way or would you just like
talk? Wait, am I still Denise Crosby? No, no, no, you're you, the fuckmaster covered in motor oil
and and Dirk is a Portland hot sauce man. Oh, I get it. Yes, you're you and you have
a lot of movie knowledge. That's two of you. You have a robot buddy. You've got a whole team is
with you. I'm just going to ask everyone in the bar who's seen subspecies three and just take
whoever's seen it. See, that's a great plan. I'm going to fuck everybody in the bar and whoever
fucks the best and whoever fucks the worst. I'm going to take both of those and I'm going to have
them square off against each other. And we'll have we'll have we'll filter them through Dirk's
interview method. That's my figure. One of those one of those is going to be right.
Just by law averages. Is some species a good movie for riverboat guides?
Not particularly. Okay, I just thought maybe I haven't seen it. I thought maybe there's like a good
river scene in there. It's a vampire movie where the main vampire Radu snaps his fingers off and
they become tiny demons. So that could be handy. No pun intended. I don't make for a great conversation
on the water at least. There you go. I think. Okay, so we you guys have some great techniques
on finding a competent river guide. I think I think you're fine. Obviously in the movie they just
Denise Crosby starts a riot and waits outside for Harry Fontana to come out.
Well, see, I think we're using the same logic because her logic there is that whatever kind of
king psychopath comes out of this unscathed is the man that I want. And with me bringing the
most fuckable and least fuckable either we're getting somebody that is not going to molest us
on this tour, which as we will see with Harry Fontana is a very real danger.
It's absolutely. Or we'll get somebody that at least will be good at it.
True good point. So now Denise Crosby drops the other shoe on this this boat taxi driver
and she's like oh hey I have a friend with you and he's like oh hell no I was going to get you
alone on the water where it would just be you and me and the implication there's no cock blocking
on my boat. And she still does not spot this as a red flag and just gets railroaded in the
negotiations. He's like sure extra C note for the elephant man which by this movie's money feels like
a lot. Yeah. So he like doubled the fare just for having a guy with her which again that's a red flag.
Yeah if you're getting a real good deal you're paying some other way. I think that's on the
back of Harry Fontana's boat. I think that's his. Do boats have bumper stickers? His boater
sticker? His boat said no questions on the back. There you go. That's what it is.
So now Bayou Betty and Maurice are hunting them with guns and they have like a bunch of other
guys with speed boats. Like not because hey we're going to get revenge for winning the brawl
because we're going to kill them and take their customers. That's the stated goal several times
in this movie. Harry Fontana thinks that they have a secret mission to find Aztec Gold. He knows
they're not tourists. He knows that this weird guy in a disguise and Denise Crosby are there for
gold and I just don't get it. I think they're living in 1980s adventure movie rules. So like
I mean he is straight. He's from everybody here is from a different movie. Like the Cyborg is from
Universal Soldier Robocop and he's from Romancing the Stone. Like absolutely he's from Romancing
the Stone. So he's just trying to understand how they fit into his movie because he doesn't just
say Aztec Gold. He says oh it's not Aztec Gold. What is it? Dope diamonds artifacts. Like he's
just trying to pin down which quest. Is there like a high school bet about turning the unpopular
dude into a popular guy with the hot girl? What movie are we in? Are you guys making a woman with
your computer? He even this will come up later but yeah he very much his whole character arc is
what fucking movie am I in? Yes. I need to know this. I think I'll have that question. He's the
most loudly and aggressively voicing it. He's the most he's unhappy about it. Everybody else is
just like oh this is so a weird movie for me to be in. I have the same answer for all of them.
You're in the best movie. I distinctly remember being a kid and seeing this in the theater
and this part of the movie was where I realized what kind of movie I was watching because like
I was telling Chonbaby like I cut out the ad for this. I kept it in my Batman wallet. I was so
excited for this movie with a mandroid a ninja and a scientist that like I didn't understand
a movie could not be what I wanted it to be and when they first shoot at the mandroid and they're
just rednecks I was like well this is weird that you think his pose would be better than that
and then at this part with swamp rednecks I was like oh no I see what this is. This was in theaters?
Briefly yeah wow. That is kind of shocking. You are in an eliminator's jam though back to
what we're doing. You're being chased by many boats. They want to kill you to get your customers.
I mean this seems like a job from my caveman guide. Like this is a river. This is apparently
his primordial forest. He has keen caveman instincts to avoid fire which is what they're
doing at us. They're firing at us. Makes sense. I'm gonna give him. You want to give the wheel
to the caveman guy? And I'm gonna tell him this is a really fast fish and it just needs his help.
With like sign language like improvised sign language and just through fucking through the
language of love which is the transcends time. I'm going to fuck that message into him and then
let him take the reins of our fast fish. Through passion alone you've communicated to your caveman
guide what needs to be done and he does it passionately. Amazing. So in the movie they uh
this is no small threat. They're shooting at them but like Harry Fontana is just kind of weaving
the boat, dodging the bullets. I think at one point even says it's not like we're in any danger
like while a bullet destroys like his boat console. Mandroid's super annoyed. He says we've no time for
this and anyway he gives the wheel to Denise Crosby and he grabs a barrel of oil and throws it into
the river and everybody knows what's happening. The other boats are like oh he's gonna shoot that
barrel of oil with a gun. We have to jump out of our boats and so that's the that's the GIGO rules
we're operating under is that like he doesn't kill these people. They all like jump out of their
vehicles while they explode. And you can't steer away from it because that wouldn't be cool.
Right. Because they have a good 200 feet to steer away from it when they see it and they started
by the time they leap out there's they've still got five seconds of like boat control they could
have just like hit the brakes. Yeah it's a wide river too they could have easily just drive around
it and Denise is like what the fuck are you doing you blowing up oil barrels and like but these are
people shooting them with stated intent to kill them and she's still like hey you can't just blow
up oil barrels so I again I don't know what armed services she was in but these are very strict rules
of engagement. Lady what fucking movie am I in because this is this is normal movie shit for me.
Right. So I think their engine explodes just because of her complaining like she's like oh
you're going too fast. God. So he finally slows it down and it breaks just so the movie lets us
know she's always wrong. So now here's your eliminator's jam. You got yourself a broken boat.
Can we use the the golf cart and just take off into the woods.
That is how they solve this eventually. Just get off the water completely.
Yeah I guess I still earlier I didn't let you use the golf cart because I don't think it's a great
all terrain vehicle. But this movie does like to forget things it mentioned earlier.
Okay it is exactly as good as fucking tank legs because I've seen those tank legs.
We use the man droids jet heels as that comes up later. He has those later.
So we're ditching the boat and we're taking the golf cart into the woods which I think is a great
way to handle it. I think you've found a way to not have to recruit for the monster style baby.
Mount monstering this shit. Hell yes. So in the movie they get held at gunpoint again for their
passengers. She's like you hand me them passengers. They're my affair now. And
man droid shoots a torpedo at their boat and explodes them. Because he has that. Yes he just
has a torpedo armed. I can't remember. Does he actually switch his torpedo arm on or did he already
just have it equipped. It was just I think it was just ready. He was like I'm gonna need the
torpedo. Yeah he knew. I'm probably done with oh no this is the dick arm again. Shit all right.
This also brings my favorite line of dialogue in the movie which is we're moving to Alaska Maurice
dog sleds. I don't know why she does it. She does. He's like hell yes. This movie has like rival
comic relief characters that come in there like no no we're the recurring comic relief. They're
like fuck no we're the hillbillies. We were here at the start. I love it. Colonel Nora Hunter asks
for some alcohol. And so Harry Hans or some and then she pours it like into these two weird
discs inside the boat motor like I guess that's the alcoholism regulators. It's like the boat was
just going through withdrawals and she's like I got a little for you pal room fixed. You should
get the boat drunk. The boat is fine now. At this point he has completely stopped the boat and he's
like why the fuck does your guy have a robot arm and what is going on. And man droid shows himself.
He's like shut up and drive. I'm a robot. Fuck you. So here's your eliminators jam. You got a
riverboat guy asking too many questions. I mean it's a one surefire way to shut up a riverboat
guy. Is it fucking. It's fucking baby. Like this is the come on you have to give me this but this
is like this is from the start what he has established his character is his only desire.
Absolutely. Is there an upper limit on the fucking like how many per day do you think
anything at some point. Yeah I think I think there's going to be a refractory period which
is why I kind of that's when when dark really gets his time to shine is when I'm you know sticky
and exhausted. Perfect. Like that's why we work well together. But for now you're feeling strong.
For now you're like here's the only answer I have for you and you pull it out and it is good.
All right. So now super ability comes up in the in his speedboat and he laughs at Maurice and
bio Betty who are stuck in the river. He does not know who these people are. He just finds it funny
that people are in trouble. Can we just pause here and introduce the fact that this the science
hillbilly is just a fucking barrel of laughs. He's having so much fun. He's always just having
his character is having a really good time doing evil. Like it's always the most fun thing he's
ever done and it's you know what it's infectious. It is. He's he sets the tone for the whole movie.
Like if he was on a softball team that is the best softball team anybody's ever been on. Yeah
they're not going to get a lot of wins but like they have a lot of fun. They're very drunk.
The Maurice is pulling on his boat and he's like oh please we were attacked by a man with a torpedo
arm and he's like a torpedo arm. Hmm sounds like that's Sabor that left here several weeks ago.
Like for some reason the movie expects us to believe he's just on this river hunting
this cyborg that escaped from the lab. I just it's it of all the things in the movie. This is
the one where I'm like I just don't think they get how fucking stupid this is.
But there's of all the things this this is it. It's so much to come because he's like
torpedo that sounds like the cyborg I'm hunting but I'm like why are you hunting and if you wore
why are you just driving up and down a river seemingly millions of miles from where he is
like he left that place to leave not to like go into the woods to regroup. Well and he also
wouldn't be on the river like he left in like a tractor legs like he's not like he would be at the
bottom of the river if anything. If anything so it's it's more or less the the last place in the
world anyone should expect to find man droid and that's where he's looking. Anyway we now
check back in with our ragtag group and nobody knows how to get to the enemy base. No one
really thought about this. They tell Harry he can just go home we don't need your boat anymore
we're going on foot and he takes it real badly like it's a breakup like he's like his feeling
seemed really hurt that he gets to just go back home after completing a job. But also maybe because
he wants to know what fucking movie he's in. That's not how my movie goes. No we all in love
and you you come to love my rough edges and I come to love you know your emotional vulnerability
and we find a treasure but the real treasure is each other. What fucking movie am I in?
But this is not happening. For someone who drives a boat it's called No Questions he's
full of questions. So many questions. That's basically all he has. Yeah he does not follow
the rules of his own boat but you're in a new jam eliminated jam you can't find the enemy base.
Oh jeez. What do you do? I mean we have a caveman guide for exactly this reason but
I don't want to use that answer just because it's kind of boring.
So in routine. What was this? Should we recruit? Yeah absolutely. I think we need a new member
in here. I'm tired of fucking these same people. That's what's happening. I need some new blood.
So a dragon. Is that what you're thinking? Are we on the same page? I was not but okay.
But you know what? That's entirely appropriate for this movie. I agree. It's just to throw in
a dragon. Why not? It is weirdly missing a dragon. It is yeah. I'll allow it. Can it be a fuckable
dragon? A horny dragon. That's how silly of me. That's kind of dragon he is. They're all fuckable
dragons. He's very fuckable. Very good to go. So now he's on your team. In the movie they send
out spot a little the little robot specifically designed to do this exact thing and Mandroid's
like oh hey I recognize his matter transfer. His little lights and she's like oh shit Reeves stole
my matter transfer. This won't come up later. I'm just saying like that's the kind of movie this is.
Back on the river here comes Super Hillbilly and they find they find Harry and they're like hey
where are your passengers at? I'm looking for a cyborg and he does not betray them. He in fact shoots
them with a fire extinguisher. Denise finds some bloody bones and caveman tools and says huh this
is strange. Huh and you found and you talk about like Roman soldiers huh and there's like an evil
scientist doing I don't know I can't put this together. I believe she even says something along
the lines of oh it's weird. I don't think there are any cavemen in this jungle. I think she says
primitive. I don't think there are any primitives in this jungle. Indians I think is what they say
and Harry's like dude there's no Indians out here what the fuck. But there probably are I don't know.
Back in the boat they're doing they do this bit that is so cartoonish and awesome. The bad guys
catch Harry they're like we're going to ram him and so they're going to take their
like fiberglass jet boat and just smash it into the side of this tour. Fucking suicide bomb.
The much larger sturdier boat and he's so happy about it. He's if you pause that scene
like I did and rewind it and watch it again he's standing up in the boat holding the shotgun
above his head with both hands and just laughing going like I'm going to fucking ride into Valhalla
here buddy. It's so amazing. It's such a nice boat he's just going to trash it. Yeah and how they
get out of this jam is so funny because Harry secretly has been revving his boat this whole time
and he's tied to a tree. He machetes through the rope and the boat like takes off like a car that's
been spinning it's been like a drag racer just gets out of the way. Not sure that's how it works
but it works in this movie and it will allow it. Their boat explodes because it misses them
completely and hits a rock. That's just like stuff happening like on the side. Back in our main group
Spot comes back and I guess he found the place or did they I don't think he's found it yet.
It does it doesn't matter. He's found the plane is what happened. The plane that
Mandroid originally crashed in because then he knows he was taken up river and that's what they
need to like start to find the base. Right that was just a little breadcrumbs leading to the base.
I like a moment here where Spot like comes and lands on Mandroid's shoulder and there's like a
little bit of sexual tension and that's where you realize like how fuckable Mandroid is. He's kind
of like a beautiful idiot baby like a Daryl Hanimer made or a Lelu Dallas. It's like this is a reverse
splash I guess is another movie this could be. So the Mandroid is not in a Robocop movie. He's in splash.
That's when some people first realize it. So they find the crash airplane like you said
and they have a fight about searching it. Mandroid's like it's too dangerous and she's like fuck you
you have to face your past. You're like what is what movie are these people in. And I think Mandroid
just can't swim. But anyway Denise Crosby swims into the crashed airplane and starts looking around
for crap. Aggressively aggressively brawless. Yes. This is the reason for this scene.
I think they did a good job of not perving out on her like she's so clearly brawless in a wet
tank top that's just like Denise this is you should have worn a different color shirt.
Okay they cut to bold fontana and the cyborg going oh yeah yeah they're in there.
It's implied a little bit of perfect but this cinematography is I would say four and a ten
tasteful. Yeah all of the work is being done by the horny robot you're right. It could have been
worse is all I'm saying. So wait I have a question did the bad scientist with the pink eye did he
find the mandroid crashed in this airplane or yeah like just he was just out in the woods and he's
like oh I found this crashed man I will make mandroid perfect I needed I needed most of a man.
Yeah it doesn't seem like he would care about the ethics of just killing one of his henchmen to
make a mandroid but yeah but they do say in the movie that they found this dead body in the woods
and he's like oh maybe I can turn into a time-traveling mandroid. Anyway here's your new eliminators jam
this crashed airplane you're searching it's sinking in a shallow river how do you get out of this jam.
I mean dragon right. Dragon let's do a little teamwork I'm gonna send
the really high caddy in there because he's he's used to diving in ponds for balls great so I'm
gonna send him in there just try to get her out and we can we can strap the dragon to the plane
and we can we can like carrot and stick him with the caveman guide who was just
fucking completely terrified drawing all of the dragon's attention really Rube Goldberg
tow truck this plane out of there. Yeah you bring up an interesting point as your team grows bigger
you're gonna have to deal with things like your caveman now has to deal with airplanes
and with robots and with dragons. Yeah he's not having a good time he's definitely
floods of tears you might notice we're not using him this is why we're not using him as a guide
as he is mostly just peeing and rehydrating. Right. So in the movie they don't handle it
the same way a cyborg grappling hooks her but he can't pull out the whole airplane I guess he just
doesn't believe it's possible and that is why he fails but then Harry shows up and he offers to
machete her out of the wreckage for a third of the treasure which he's fine agreeing to you
because again he's the only fucking idiot who thinks there's magic treasure in the Mexican jungle.
So we actually stumbled on the correct solution that was basically our solution. Yeah hit it
with a hit it with a sword she changes shirts which is pretty great but from the from behind
and Mandroid checks her out because there's still a little humanity left in him and she checks
Mandroid out yeah he's like huh you see these titties you like these yeah you're not all robot huh
just my dog arms but not his boner arm uh the Mandroid starts remembering the Roman soldiers
and Denise is like oh good your memory is coming back not oh holy shit this correlates with the
other time travel evidence we've been finding no um Harry starts making fun of spots the trying
to establish other relationships but a spot takes no shit he shoots him with a laser
like a second a joke and then we're not friends in that way
he says hold on and takes a slight right and Mandroid just falls out of the boat just with
the gentlest of turns it's not it's not presented as an obstacle or dramatic moment he's just like
let me redirect the boat water and they lose him
yes your eliminator jam your cyborg just fell in the water what do you do
okay that's what they do in the movie yeah you're right you can leave him for dead almost instantly
so now they cut back to the evil villain and Reeves is putting on a robot arm and he's got
like a full jigsaw face now uh not jigsaw like the comic like he's got like patchwork or Frankenstein
face and here comes super hillbilly running into his office and he shoots him with electricity
instantly and then after that he says report so he did not even know his bad news yet
he's already torturing his henchmen he was just like I got I you know what this is a new toy
I never treat myself I'm gonna electrocute him a little bit
one of my favorite parts he's like boss there's this real jerk out there the boat oh
fucking hate this hairy guy anyway he's got a torpedo shooting guy in his boat and Reeves is like
a genius so he's like hmm this could be mandroid and then hillbilly's like you know you might be
rad so like he he hadn't put it together yet I don't think he was out there hunting mandroid
he's just like he was just having a good time he's just partying he's just tearing ass in his
speedboat picks him up by his neck with his palpatine arm fucking force lightning now you fail me
again and then I'm sure you guys have this in your notes oh he just gives him a little electric
dick tickle just I wrote laser balls in my notes no I wrote down exactly electric dick tickle
that's oh and I it didn't seem like it hurt him that much like it was just a fun one he's like no
we're still you we're still cool sorry I'm being a bad boss here you go just uh just a little
sexual harassment uh so now back in the water mandroid who's been left for dead just leaves the
water and spot can swim too again with everyone forgot about spot no one's like oh shit spots in
there too they're just like fuck I you can't we drop the robots in the water they're dead
so there's never that much danger uh mandroid's like hey can you go find our people uh and spots
like dude I'm too wet I can't fly so here's your load it down load it down with semen
yeah if he wasn't so filled with semen he'd probably be okay but he is so here's your
eliminators jam your friends ditched you in the river and uh left without you what do you do
do you need to recruit yeah we got the caveman guide who's just gone completely psychotic with
fear and incomprehension we got this 14-year-old high caddy who's been doing a lot of lifting
and we got the dragon who's had the chance to play I do think we need to recruit
and I think I think our most important priority right now is recruiting some better friends
to just have a real bitch session about this right just I and they he took a he took a hard
turn he knows I'm a robot he knows I'm heavy as fuck and uh they didn't even really slow down
they just just fucking took off and I need some friends to be like uh-huh yeah that sucks dude
we wouldn't we wouldn't have done that to you so like maybe like a David and uh you know what
how about a Kenzie oh okay and a Ken I'm gonna write that down a Kenzie who's just a really good
friend yeah they're just really good friends and they're uh they're gonna listen and I think
everyone has to bring very specialized skills but I do think just being a good friend you'd
still know that um if you need to find your friends who ditched you in the river you just
go the one fucking direction of the river the direction you were already going right so I think
you're fine I think uh their their skills and friendship should translate well to just going
one direction uh by the way the boat is broken down again uh and while they're trying to not
fix it Harry's just dragging it through the water like like an ox like an ox he just just
grabbed from under the water by something in the river so here's your eliminator's jam
you're under attack by cavemen water cavemen I mean this is the scenario built for Brockway right
yeah I'm gonna fuck all those cavemen I'm going to come out of the river this filthy horrible river
just like the bond girl right out of the beach flipping my hair back water streaming down my
body my smooth man body un un marred by caveman prosthetics which they have never seen before
and are complete as we will establish in an upcoming scene are completely in love with
uh there's a ton to shreds yeah they they love this so yes thank you um now I am going to take
a lot of your stamina away because water's a terrible lubricant and there are like 14 of them
yes so uh not sure how much more that you have in you but uh in the movie they just are easily
captured uh they the cavemen have an underwater cage that they have rigged to like capture a
man and then get raised out of the water they grab nor they're very interested in this uh
in this brawless woman uh and then back at back with mandroid he finds a fucking ninja
sucking fish out of the river with his hand it's awesome both movies I've been on this podcast
talking about have fish and ninjas that's incredible you're our ninja fish specialist
and the only movie is going forward we will invite you back for we'll have
prominent fish and ninja things you're welcome anytime as long as there are ninjas and fish in
the same scene can I just say uh I had to pause and look look at the timestamps here this there's
only a half hour left of movie when they introduce cavemen and ninjas in back to back scenes like
fucking movie there's only 30 minutes left including credits you cannot introduce ninja
and caveman complications but you you fucking you do when you pull it off absolutely did pull
it off this ninja kooji is the son of dr. takata the man who the only person who is killed in this
movie at the start um mandroid says your father is dead you're not the only one with a score to
settle and then boom the ninja is on the team so they are real power heavy on this side of the
movie they've got a ninja they got a cyborg they've got a robot that can teleport and the other side
has a boat guide and a robot repair woman just getting dominated by several cavemen uh Denise
is using her science ability to try to like uh navigate the situation she's like smile but don't
show teeth that's a sign of a great show she's teaching them like like apes um the elderly caveman
is super gropey uh and he grabs Harry's ass and Harry goes fruity caveman I was sure you were
gonna have that on the soundboard I didn't I didn't even put it because my impersonation is so good
here's your jam your limit is jam fruity cavemen oh I burned fucking cavemen so early
dork you gotta help me this might be your fault yeah I might have converted them dork I've I made
my bed and I don't want to sleep in it it's all wet spot okay perfect well then I'll I'll just uh
I'll just start talking at them I presume they don't understand English so I'll just start telling them
about the movie catacombs which is actually the curse for even though it was made before the first
curse movie and by that point they would have probably fallen asleep this is good uh fast talking
always works in an 80s movie yeah actually fully taught us that so uh the cavemen that is how they
get out of the scene too basically fast talk sir yeah uh yeah we should talk about that because
Harry's plan is he's he's like hey would you kiss me goodbye she's like what the fuck no dude like
he he literally asked her in a in a way that's like hey we're gonna die here let's kiss goodbye
she gives him a clear note and then he does anyway but it's part of the plan he hands her a
couple of bullets and he's like throw these in the fire and then he just starts punching cavemen
so she throws some bullets in the fire and they're like oh no a popping fire ah and I don't know if
anyone's ever uh seen a fire probably probably most people but they pop sometimes so the cave
but the cavemen are like gone they're they're running away uh this is where the ninja shows
up and num chucks one of them uh spot and shows us one man droid takes one out so they each one
they each take a caveman out um and so like it's great they they've solved the caveman problem
but here's what's kind of weird this would be the end of it for most movies but here the sexual
assault comes back up she's like hey why did you need to kiss me for that plan and uh I have a clip here
you know they don't speak English so why why didn't you just say Nora throw your bullets in the fire
wouldn't have gotten your free smooch you lousy hey let's get out of here while we still can okay
what you can't see is her very aww shucks smile she was into it the whole time so here's your
eliminators jam your co-worker is acting very inappropriately dragon yeah i'm not qualified
for this scenario at all i think i'm the co-worker uh yeah i you are getting a pretty big rag tag team
and as the company grows you might need an hr department i don't think your dragon would handle
this very well no um oh let's recruit an hr department okay uh so we uh this is perfect
so now you have an hr department you know what i'm going to
insist that the head our hr rip is also a kenzie and we'll call her kenzie too
perfect and it'll be kind of cute to us but she'll always feel like she comes second in our hearts
because of it mm-hmm that's a good that's a good point that's gonna really daring move for someone
in hr if you're gonna give them the number two spot everybody hates hr yeah i hate hr fuck hr
fuck you kenzie too suck my dick oh dammit dammit sorry kenzie too the worst kenzie uh
so they run over and steal a caveman rafts and um here's when oh yeah it's clear kooji is just
like stealing he's gonna steal the rest of the movie because it's just a raft they just get on the
raft and the whole time he's looking around and putting his hands out and sneaking god you can't
take your eyes off him he's just fucking mesmerizing so ninja uh but now you're in an eliminators jam
cavemen are chasing your raft they got their shit together i go phew which is awesome yes
that's a caveman arrow yeah i'm sorry this is our this is our this is our problem yeah let's let's
use kenzie too his propeller feet which he has we try not to bring it up but yeah we should use
i think bringing those up at work uh is inappropriate and i feel like um you're gonna
that's a demerit that's a ragtag squad demerit practically racist but i'll allow it she'll say
she'll reluctantly say in this emergency i suppose my propeller feet will be handy but uh these are
my propeller feet uh my and we'll never bring it up again i don't know yeah so uh that's how they
do it in the movie uh the android sticks his feet in the water and turns on his jet boots it does not
go well the first thing he says is my function shoot across the river like 40 50 feet and um
they all fall out of the raft except of course koojee who just like lands it and
squats it out like a full sneaky ninja i think he does a front flip and then lands it and he looks
back this god he steals every scene he's in he does like a flip he lands it and then he looks back
disappointed at everybody who didn't land it like fucking weak ass ninjas you guys not ninjas
like are you not in a ninja movie with me because this is a ninja movie since i got here
what i love about this scene is that um already things have gone so bad but these guys have bows
and arrows the cavemen arrows go this far also they've established them as underwater cavemen
like they can just live in the bottom of the river and so they are not out of danger but
the movie just sort of assumes like yeah we solve the caveman issue uh harry now quits he's given up
trying to figure out what movie this is he's like this is too silly uh i'm clearly not the right guy
for this movie uh he says uh robots cavemen kung fu what is this a comic book is this
is this some kind of weird ass science fiction right and dian crossby looks at him and just goes
yep for like 12 seconds it's just yep this is weird ass science fiction you figured out
you figured out what mover you're in and he's like then i quit the movie yeah this is bullshit
but she does sit him down and tell him the whole story they fade out so at this point the only
person that actually knows what's going on is harry uh not the audience uh they do find
mandroids tank legs and they send spot to find the base there's a little bit where mandroid unveils
his tank legs and he looks like he looks to everybody else and nobody is impressed and he
looks so annoyed because i don't know why he played it that way they just like god damn it
i went to this uh actors i am db and he basically did mandroid and very little else
and he has one of those great i am db profiles where it's just like all of his headshot pictures
like he couldn't decide on a headshot picture so it's like eight of them in the same shirt with
the same smile and it's it's it's so unnerving he can smile he can smile and i think he's trying
to prove that he's like i'm not just the mandroid i can smile this way smile slightly to the left
anyway it's great look him up the ninja knows about the time travel so now denise crossby
has pieced it together then he's like oh yes reeves he was working with my dad and he's got time
travel and he's like holy shit this would explain the 15 time travel elements uh now and yet somehow
we're in a movie where the time travel does not explain the ninja or the cyborg or the hillbillies
for that matter like you you would assume all of these elements would come from the time travel
unrelated unrelated uh here comes super hillbilly with two guys on three wheelers shooting roman
candles at them because here's your eliminators jam three punks on atvs are shooting fireworks at you
oh my god just says combine golf cart with dragon yes
i mean it's right there i gotta do it and what look maybe he did such a good job we'll give
control to the caveman guide uh of this of this terrifying concoction and then we've gone like
full hannah barbara on it yeah and that's like when he finally is a part of the team and he's
like smiling because he gets the fun chaos of the dragon cart yeah that all comes together and we've
got we've got something that plays after fucking herkyloids yes i'd watch it i would have also
accepted just the hr rep telling them that they can't do that i'm gonna call your parents
uh i think she's sulking because we we we did bring up the propeller feet again yeah
this section of the movie it makes me laugh the hardest because when mandrid just drives
up a little bit of a hill and just flops over it's like facial expressions just like yeah
whatever okay now i'm just gonna die anyway i can't believe they showed that the tank is just
a really ineffective bad thing like the first time it has to do all terrain it just tips over
and they show it and then he has to like awkwardly get out be like fuck fuck yeah he only uses it for
like eight feet in the movie and it's like oh okay i guess you really needed that
mobile unit probably 30 of the budget too to actually build it yeah it's incredible
it's really good so cyborg uh he does take most of them out in just the most insanely
unfair fight uh until he tips over and uh there's another thing i'd love like the ninja is really
amazing in the scene because he's just posing taking a few steps posing taking a few steps
and there's like a three-wheeler just kind of trotting along next to him uh and then
norah gets in a knife fight with a guy and he's like oh i'm gonna kill you and the ninja shows up
and he scares him off power ranger style it's just this is when the tone like hits hits the climax
where it's super non-lethal and giggly and um uh mandroid in the middle of this in the middle of
all this joy says please dismantle me he's discovered that revenge won't satisfy him
but he also can't self-terminate which is a very robot thing to not be able to do
and so uh his programming won't let him kill himself so he has to ask a friend to kill him
i'm so fucking embarrassed about the tank tread thing i'm not going to get over it
so uh here's your eliminator's jam your mandroid friend is having thoughts of self-harm
oh bring the friends in yeah we got to bring the friends in perfect nobody reported to
fucking kenzie too i swear to god she's just gonna make it into a bigger thing she's still drying
kenzie one it's very specifically for david and kenzie one all right i'll allow it uh it's fine
in the movie uh denise crossby reminds him of his wife and kid and then you're not gonna believe me
if you haven't seen the movie kisses him on the mouth passionately remember you have a wife and
kid and then she and then let's make out thank you mandroid this movie is fucking nuts the ninja's
the only one that doesn't get laid uh spot shows up at this point and he is apoplectic with fury
like he's so jealous uh he sees this kiss and he just starts shooting lasers everywhere so here's
your eliminator's jam your tiny robot it's in a jealous murder rage i'm coming it he's not he's
not full of enough semen he won't be able to do this that will absolutely overload it his semen things
are beyond established it's his weakness i've been waiting for this moment all right like state of
readiness to fuck that robot you erotically navigate the lasers make love to the robot and it explodes
in a a semen eruption uh in the movie the ninja just does a flying jump stab because there's no
problem at any point in this movie the ninja can't easily solve it does it does yes yes i love it um
reeves has somehow reprogrammed it and it came back here to kill them uh he's now now that it's
dead it sends a little wizard of Oz head out them out and it's like turn back now or die because
this movie is just completely off the rails and it's just going by super friends rules
because you also have to remember that reeves that they're here to stop reeves because you've
done so much shit and he hasn't been in the movie for like 40 minutes you're like oh right that guy
what the fuck were we doing we thought it was just red mechs and cavemen yeah at this point
they're in a regular movie there would have been a hostage situation or some way to get the villain
to talk to the main character but no not here uh so now um denise plugs in some stuff in the robot
and and finds uh in his memory the entry point to the base so they head to the base they're ready
now here's your eliminers jam there's a couple of very distracted guards how are you going to deal
with that can we put the caveman into some kind of like sexy outfit yeah i'm tired i gave everything
i had to that robot i think man distraction or would as hr gonna be a real yeah and he's gonna
be a brat about it yeah uh yeah it's true you i guess the danger in getting too big a rag tag
squad is now you're you're gonna eliminate some of the options why did we get an hr rip they always
ruin every rag tag squad i've ever been in i would imagine she has a lot of notes about you fucking
that robot to death too in front of you yeah yeah yeah so you might be in a lot of trouble um
luckily i feel like you could just walk past them because in the movie that's what they do they just
wait for the guards to leave all right oh that's a nice pipe and uh right before they go in uh denise
crossby kisses harry so again the ninja is the only one that's getting no action um
um spot left out one part of this there was a giant industrial fan in this tunnel
that they can't get past so here's your eliminators jam there's a huge industrial fan in the way
hi catty he's gonna jump through it yeah this is moment he's ready he's on it instantly i also
love that they find like a vent cover like velcroed to the wall of the compound that's how
they get into the shaft where the fan is they knew no one could get past the fan they didn't
need to protect the shaft right um yeah we're we're sending our hi catty in there he's on it
before we can even ask him and we're just gonna jam that fan with wet catty parts and uh and let's
jump over let take your catty off the list don't take him off the list but put a strike through
in his text yeah he's dead uh i would say that your hr rep is furious um i feel like kenzie and
david are gonna need some time to deal with this who will propeller feet i think it works i think uh
you you gummed it up with catty uh you really made a mess of your group dynamic but the fan
has stopped and you can get through in the movie of course they solve this problem in the
fucking raddest way possible uh the ninja just jumps through the fan and then he times it so
perfectly perfectly and then he kicks it in the weak spot on the backside which is just the middle
of the fan which i kind of i rewound it it has the same sort of nub on the front so i feel like he
could have just done that but we'll allow it it's so it's so i love how it's traded in the movie
as so fucking sweet too like they all just stop and like did he just fucking jump through the
they're starting to really enjoy the movie they're in yeah that was so cool that's why they had to
introduce the ninja at the last 30 minutes because after that it's just all mint like he solves every
problem every problem there's no need for anybody uh the by the way the the man droid is not with
them the man droids part of the plan we don't know but they've split up uh so we follow this team in
and the ninja finds some latin papers and then he's crossbees translates it badly
with their science skills and it's like oh he's gonna take over ancient Rome and the ninja says
but if he changes the past and then that like they don't even have to finish like that's just
fucking the terrifying implications of that just like hang there well they're fucking you already
sent a cyborg back to laser blast entire squads of romans who are famous for taking notes because
you're reading them right now yeah they would mention this man wait you are living in the
broken timeline that created that's why there's all this shit happening that's why you've got
fucking ninjas and cavemen that doesn't make sense so then Harry takes uh he finds a little
corona civic on a Caesar statue and he's like ooh little gold leaf hat i'm taking it alarm goes off
so their stealth mission is over cut away we don't know how that's gonna end up man droid is the
front door just calling Reeves out like a high school bully he's like you're most surrender to me
my friends are inside your base doing super stealthy stuff it's over uh now we see that
off camera our team has been captured so here's your eliminator's jam your plan has gone to shit
and your team has been captured by three gunmen well i feel like i try to talk to them about my
favorite phantasm but it doesn't work out which one's your favorite phantasm we'll decide that
phantasm too and why isn't your favorite because that's the one where he has the shotgun has like
multiple barrels it's like a four barrel shotgun he welds it together these gunmen are very interested
okay and that gives me the idea to recruit reggie or the tall man who are you talking about reggie's
no no reggie reggie absolutely yeah reggie banister fucking pony tail and his his multi shotgun
we're gonna recruit reggie from phantasm too and he has exactly as many barrels as he needs to
shoot all of these people at the same time perfect uh so uh that's handled much better than the movie
where uh the mandroid just starts dismantling himself and all of this stuff that keeps happening
off camera uh hold on the dick arms are going to take a while just stand stand back some of these
will be squirting uh so off camera the the bad guys somehow have a giant disintegrator cannon
no one thought to use until now so they're like this movie's got a death ray of course it does
i won't get me on the death ray i won't shoot that mandroid it'll turn your atoms inside out
was what they said yes hell yes so now the ninja remembers he's a ninja and just starts kicking
dudes so fast they can't shoot anybody takes a throwing star throws it at the disintegrator
cannon it's gone uh and then here comes a truly insane gunfight uh the good guys are just stuck
in the center of this area uh oh just tell you the eliminators jam you are massively outgunned
in the middle of an open area being shot at by men from an elevated cover position how do you get
out of this one i mean we've got let's review our team uh we've got the spirit of a 14-year-old
hi caddy with us uh to inspire us we've got a caveman guide that has now completely lost his
mind and given into the glee of chaos yeah uh we've got we still got that golf cart golf cart
didn't die with him uh the dragon i'm gonna say the dragon's just kind of writing that now yeah
we got david and kenzie and we're real good friends uh we got kenzie too who's kind of a
bitch but we had to watch a six hour seminar the last time we said that uh and we've got reggie from
phantasm too i think we've got enough offensive firepower here to just load up this fucking
battle golf cart like a george miller movie and and i want i want this to be an all-in-one
firefight all yeah no need to recruit i think you're gonna win uh in the movie the ninja just
goes around taking everybody out i think same word maybe got one uh and then if we had a ninja
we wouldn't have to recruit anybody that this would be we would recruit the ninja at the start
of the movie uh and the movie okay start over that was one of the rules no cyborgs no ninjas
reeves is not super worried about this they're calling him out they're like reeves calm out uh
and you'll you realize why reeves doesn't give a shit because he is uh decked out so here's your
eliminator shim you face a time traveling mega cyborg with all manner of cyber weaponry
uh throw kenzie too
no we probably can't do that uh i mean we can do that but he's just going to laser her to death
with his he's also a roman robot so he's made himself into a a legionary robot transcending time
i don't think hr really is equipped to deal with that uh since they're really just here to look
out for the company he is known to strike at genitals without warning so he will just i'm
gonna go ahead and strike out kenzie too since you have just demolished her i imagine that gets him
that probably buys a couple of seconds as he's just thoroughly drenched in kenzie too blood
uh we knew that the hr member wasn't gonna live except we threw her like a human grenade
like a human water balloon of just i feel like you handled that about as well as the people in
this movie did because what they did in the movie was for mandroid to stand very still and get slowly
lasered apart while everyone watches in a it's so gruesome like for this movie with its g-rated
violence it's like suddenly looking at knee surgery footage and they won't even let the ninja help
he's like hey i'll just go take him out they're like no no no no let's just watch our friends slowly
die yeah and that was their plan that was the plan the whole time uh and now uh reeves has put them
in a cyber cage so here's your eliminators jam you're trapped in a shrinking taser dome i love
that he could just do that i love that he's got fucking superman two powers now he's just it's
whatever don't question it it's okay i have chewed a laser that becomes a cage that shrinks now
but that's what you gotta deal with well i'm starting to regret having oh i guess we freed
up a little space with kenzie too but we have a pretty big team here yeah can we dig they don't
dig in the movie oh we recruit a digging hulk yes oh my god that's such a great team member
you'd hulk dig hulk underground easily escaping the shrinking taser dome uh better than how they
handled in the movie which was to uh just kind of hang out in it uh until mandroid slowly gets up
and he is looking real rough they he they thought he was dead but he fights against his programming
to eat the web also i have a clip of that don't touch the web it's charged he knows
he's dead god i'm a little choked up it's such a beautiful moment so beautiful i love that the
ninja finally took just understands him completely and can narrate his thoughts at this point like
yes connected with the mandroid he knows everybody he's gonna die he knows uh there is a cut of this
movie at least there should be that's just the from the mandroids point of view and because he's just
so miserable the entire time he dies before they get revenge so it's just he doesn't even know
yeah and so and they don't even check with the robot expert before they like run inside so they
leave him for dead for the third time in this movie and get there in time to watch Reeves getting
into his time orb so here's your eliminators jam your enemy is escaping through history in his time
orb i'm gonna say we lost david and kenzie here because they're gonna go ahead and stay with
mandroid uh because that's what good friends would do uh and probably i don't know call somebody
see if there's anything they could do to help them as opposed to just nothing at all yeah um
we are definitely we are definitely gonna give that dragon to reggie from phantasm too
okay uh because that's a fucking sweet metal album cover yeah and he's ready for it and you know
what the caveman on the back like arms around him one arm in that one arm in the sky that's the
that's a metal album cover we're going with and i think that's an excellent vehicle to drive through
time in pursuit of a roman legionary soldier i think fucking meatloaf wrote a song about that
and i think we're gonna fulfill it like it's a prophecy uh fantastic answer and requires no new
recruiting so very good gamesmanship uh in the real movie denise crossby just sits down
at the controls and she's like oh i'm working these time machine controls and i can read all this
he's like oh damn it he landed in ancient rome i guess we can't win but then harry with full confidence
of dirt bag riverboat guide just punches a nearby keyboard and every fucking thing in the lab
explodes including the timelord back in like one jillian bc and uh reeves ends up getting out
i think they say 14 million bc or some some nonsense number but anyway he is uh
i can hold on baby i've punched a lot of vending machines i gotten a lot of junior mints like this
i got it and uh she says habit reeves is the ruler of nothing freeze frame end
a couple of things here you're skipping that he the this total sweet or at least underplaying
the total sweetness of of how long uh reeves raises his arms to the sky and screams no
oh
just got out on him it's the best the best screaming to the sky i've ever seen and also
he was just sent a fucking master of time roman cyborg to the origins of life and you're like
problem solved problem solved yeah it's fantastic i loved his crazy grin when he got out of his
time orb too he's like i'm here i'm gonna say oh no this is bullshit i'm gonna rip ass through
ancient oh damn it i'm so glad they end on a freeze frame laugh like a jackie chan movie
i've said it before i'll say it again it's the perfect end to any movie like if you don't know
what to do freeze frame laugh and we're all like yep that's it they're all happy except for anyone
that remembers mandroid and the life of suffering and then we cut to the outtakes of all the times
the drunken hillbillies hurt themselves he has a wife and kid we just cheated on his wife and
kid they haven't seen him in at least a year but like they're presumably alive he could have called
them anyway brockway i'd like you to go through your list while i play the eliminator's theme song
all right we've got a 14 year old hi caddy with golf car we've got long dead
long dead we've got a caveman forest guy driven completely insane by the forces of chaos we've
got david and kenzie good friends we've got kenzie too kind of a b word that's acceptable right kenzie
too no no we've got a dragon we've got a diggable hulk the only thing he does is dig baby but it's
enough we've got reggie from phantasm too and we've got i'm just gonna say meatloaf we got meatloaf in
with that last one what a team what a ragtag team well durk thank you for being with us for a
