Starting point is 00:00:00 And on today's program, Jim Belushi makes his triumphant return to We Hate Movies. We're talking retroactive. I'm Andrew Jupin. Stephen Sadeh. Chris Cabin. Eric Siska. And we hate movies. Hello, everyone, welcome to we hate movies.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Thank you for tuning in, as always. This week, Jim Belushi is brightening up our day. This film is called Retroactive from 1997, directed by a fellow named Louis Mornow. Does this guy do anything else? Not a long career doing nothing. Oh, really? Like, just like me. I was about to say that, Steve, you have a long career of doing it. Oh, I'm glad you.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Well, none of us have directed Jim Belushi in a film, you know, so he's got that on us. Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of what this movie is. It's your classic 90s-era independent, violent movie that where you get one star and you build around. That's right. So you got Frank Whaley and then you built around. No. Frank Whaley, a 40-year-old boy, no. So, in essence, this movie's basically Jim Belushi
Starting point is 00:01:37 playing a Terminator-type figure. Yes. Complete with time travel abilities. But he's also like a scuzzy domestic abuser. It's a white trash time travel opus is what we're talking about. Totally, yeah. It's like a time travel adventure, but it just reeks of stale beer. is what you can sort of boil it down to.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Stale Australian beer. Oh, yeah, he exclusively drinks beer from Australia in this movie. Because it reminds him of his deadbeat abusive father. Who abandoned him to move to Australia? Also, you better believe we're not paying to use fosters in this. No. No, it's bosters. Bosters.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Bosters kangaroo beer, everybody. I'm drinking kangaroo juice. You milk it straight from them. Well, we're using that late 90s filter where we look like we're filming on Mars the whole time. Yeah, that's pretty alternative. And it's just like, I keep expecting Linda Hamilton, speaking of Terminator, to narrate about how the machines took over. Because like, this wasteland we open on. This should be narrated from the future.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Well, because for the first six minutes, it's a boy and his rat. I thought this was going to be like an ever-clear music video. Yeah, totally, dude. I think these are some deleted scenes from the Santa Monica video. I will buy you some new cheese. Perfect, shiny, and new. Ooh, some new cheese. Dude, have Art Alexakis purchased some new cheese for me?
Starting point is 00:03:13 Well, you know his name. Art Alexakis, man, of course. Do you think his deadbeat dad's ears are still burning from that out? Oh, that motherfucker's brain burned out. You kidding me? Just every song. That was a hit. That fucker didn't give a shit.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Yeah, that's true. Not from any point did he care? Oh, I think he was kicking himself, though. His son's a rich rock star. Yeah, now he's sorry. The point is you got to get as fucked up as possible so that you never know that. Oh, yeah, that's true. That's how I've been doing it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 So Frank Whaley is a scientist. He's working down the street from Reanimator, by the way, this little lab he's got. Yeah, he definitely is. But it's weird because this is like a massive government facility. He's literally the only person in the building. It's supposed to be closing in a few days, but there's no one there. There's not even security. There's not one security guard.
Starting point is 00:04:01 It kind of looks like the abandoned place where you would store a time cop. A pod? Yeah. Like, it looks like it was decommissioned. It's where time machines go to die. That's exactly right. Yeah, no, it's weird. There's also just like a lame barbed wire fence.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I mean, come on. You're hiding a time travel device. Let's beef up security. I want a cool barbed wire. fence. We got a beef up security around here, Lou Forigno security God. There's a time device in there. This is the same desert where the
Starting point is 00:04:33 Hulk was made, so that sounds about right. Is this part of the MCU guys? Oh, I think not. No. Is Jim Belushi in the MCU? No, no. He never will be. Is he in the ICU? He's home in the ICU. I got in a fight in a Chicago
Starting point is 00:04:47 Fire game. But to be fair, it's got a barbed wire fence and a really good solid Superdoor right? Yeah. This is A really great Super Door. Is that a movie? I know Barb Wire is, right? Pam Anderson?
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah, oh, right, Barb Wire. A Yasmin Bleevee movie called Super Door. Well, it also, it features Jim Blouchy's greatest enemy, a chain link fence. Yeah, totally. They have to crawl over. I mean, I think they never show that, by the way. No, no, no, no, no. 35 minutes later.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Oh, yeah, that'd be a good movie, too, chain link fence. I think I saw the Super Door in an episode of Mantis. I think we're sharing sets So Frank Whale is like Look, he's doing your video conference thing He calls the guys the Pentagon A bunch of idiots in his little Farewell address here
Starting point is 00:05:38 He's like this is the last experiment I'm going to do On my retroactive experiment Wherein I try and send A mouse back in time Now the idea is You, the consciousness of the being Will go back into Go back in time to be able to
Starting point is 00:05:55 change the events because it knows correct. Right. So it sends your mind into your old body. Uh-huh. Right, right, right. Yeah. So this is not like a back to the future. We have doubles of ourselves kind of a thing. Your consciousness just goes back
Starting point is 00:06:11 to wherever you were. It sets a time limit. So it's like 20 minutes. So wherever you were 20 minutes prior, your consciousness, knowing all the time travel information, goes back 20 minutes. It definitely makes a lot. a sense. Yeah, well, what, well, you want to explain it. I can, I can explain it for you
Starting point is 00:06:29 right now, Chris Katow. Okay. Okay. The answer is microchips. Man, so Jim Belushi is dabbling in like black market microchips in this movie. In the Texan desert, West Texas. Well, we do learn that this works. He does the final experiment, Whaley does. Oh, right. Everything spins around like a Batman episode. It's a bad camera spins around and there's no real device you're just on a floor kind of a thing I mean again I think I saw this device in Mantis and the first time the mouse basically goes through
Starting point is 00:07:03 a trap goes through a maze hits cheese slams on a mousetrap it dies the second time because he has the consciousness the mouse which I think is still too stupid to learn this anyway yeah like learns not to get foiled by a mouse trap yeah like in one try this mouse is like oh yeah step off that floor I died last time.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Yeah, also the mouse has no idea. Like, oh, I must have traveled through time. What are you talking about? How the hell does he know that it worked? Frank Whaley? Yeah. Because he's videotaped himself. Well, that's the tape.
Starting point is 00:07:36 The tape, what's going on with this tape? That doesn't make any sense. It makes no fucking sense. So, like, Frank Whaley's recording all of this. He does the experiment and then, like, he's watching TV and it's himself, like, explaining shit. I don't know how. I don't get it. It's because the rat doesn't eat the cheese that he thinks he cracked time travel.
Starting point is 00:07:57 No, you, it is that, but there's also a thing about the tape. It's like, oh, when I looked at the tape, it's different or something. He's watching himself on TV. And then the phone rang and I'll die in seven days. Well, the thing, did anybody see that rings, by the way? No. Did you? No. You said it like, here comes my opinion on the Rings movie. Well, you know, there was a chance that Chris Cabin would have seen it. That's what I was kind of angling for. I did not. We're angling for you, buddy. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Chris is a cinephal. The rest of us are just movie buffs. That's true. I'm glad you made the differentiation. I go to the movie gym and I eat Doritas. And I get buff. So then after this experiment works, we cut to Jim Belushi. He pulls up to this trucker who's like hanging out to do this deal.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And my lord, playing this truck driver. none other than the son or the brother of the president Roger Clinton Yeah, a president at the time President at the time, of course Yikes And you could barely see him
Starting point is 00:09:01 There's no like establishing shot of Roger Clinton What does he need? Well I think what he means is You show a shot of the outside of Roger Clinton Then you've cut inside Roger Clinton He's gonna say Show me a shot where the sun isn't over like taking his whole entire face exactly that's what i mean you barely can see him you're paying the
Starting point is 00:09:23 clinton money uh-huh you know and that's contributing to the the the clinton well i feel you know i feel like now bill's watch it's like hey roger was that like your only scene or what can i turn this off now bud hey bud you did a great job in that one scene or he's or he's like cut out of that movie or he's like oh man this is a sweet friday night Hillary and Chelsea are out of the White House. I'm going to do a little V-D rental. Hey, hey, hey, Bill.
Starting point is 00:09:52 What? Do you want to know what Jim Booshy's like in real life? Oh, this is Roger Clinton. Well, no, I'm just imagining, like, Oh, he watched it by accident. Bill Clinton puts on retroactive. And in the first
Starting point is 00:10:08 like three minutes, his brother is what the fuck was I smoking? My brother's not an actor. Oh, man sure ain't I'm just a big Frank Whaley fan Oh yeah he's a wailie
Starting point is 00:10:24 Completed I watched swimming with sharks The other day brother That was a cool movie Oh shit pulp fiction is my favorite movie of all time Swing Kids is pretty cool But it actually kind of doesn't hold up When you watch it later in life
Starting point is 00:10:39 Hey Monica he's the guy that had the big cahuna Oh man the big cahooner But did he do Swimming with Sharks and Big Cahooner? No, he didn't do Big Cahuna. No, no, not the Big Cahoon. He has the Big Cahuna Burger. Oh, right? Oh, Big Cahruna Burger.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, because there's that. Maybe it's this Cahuna burger. It's that play that's made into a movie. Is it Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito? Yes. Are the Big Cahuna? Kevin, no, the Big Cahoon is Danny DeVito, Peter Fassanelli, and, uh... Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Wow. And Danny DeVito. You said Danny DeVito twice. He said it twice. Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, Peter Fassonle. Danny DeVito is playing two roles in the Big Cahood. And Swimming with Sharks is Kevin Spacey and Frank Whaley. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Oh. Thank you for cool. Wow, I think I'm the first person on Frank Whaley's Wikipedia page. Balloons. A server. A bunch of digital confetti. Exactly. An old server had to go back into rotation and power up just so you can load that set page.
Starting point is 00:11:42 You know what Frank Whaley's good in, actually? He's good in most things to be fair. I like frankly. He's in the first season of Luke Cage. He's awesome. I like him on that show. Yeah, okay. So they were correct.
Starting point is 00:11:54 No, but yeah, so he gets the Belushi sporting an atrocious sideburns and an even worse Texas accent. Jesus ever loving Christ. What are we doing? We don't need it. These sideburns are terrible. Well, I mean, the accent is just unforgivable. Well, that's, I think Jim Belushi's whole thought process was like, well, if I'm, I'm from the south.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I have to talk like a fried pig. So I'm just going to ham this one up. But that's, I mean, like, it's your classic. Like, we're just cozying up to the one star that we have. So, like, whatever this guy wants to do, let him riff. Like, he's going to swing for the fences every take, and we're not going to direct him. Like, Jim Belushi is on an acting tear in this movie. He really is.
Starting point is 00:12:40 He is screaming and yelling. He's fucking hehorn. He's shucking and jive. What? Hollering as well. There's a lot of hollering going on. Once he gets the microchips away from Roger Clinton, Roger Clinton pulls a gun on him.
Starting point is 00:12:52 He's like, hey man, you said you're going to pay for these. He's like, oh, I just got to go down the road to get the cash, man. I'll be right back. He makes some like offhanded remark about, hey, they were like buddies in high school. And he's like, all right, man, thanks. And he takes him and he does a Jim Belushi strutton jump. It's the classic. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:09 It's your classic taking care of business. K-9, I think he does it. It's his athletic maneuver. It's like, yeah. It's amazing. He's like, I'll be right back, Roger Clinton. Yeah, like, you know what? This isn't the movie for this.
Starting point is 00:13:25 We called it a chili jump. The chili jump. Imagine did a chili jump and Ghost Rider? That would be pretty great. All right, thanks for nothing. Pierce, Brasden. My five, Roman. Oh, man, Roman Polanski fucking hates Jim Belushi, guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Oh, and show me a huge. Hero is like, no way, Oscar Isaac, we're not building low, low public housing and yonkers. High five now for Molina. Man, that move, that mini-series is devastating. It is a bit. I skipped it. Yeah, you're fine. I mean, no, it's great.
Starting point is 00:14:04 It's just, yeah, unless you want to feel like shit. I felt like shit watching retroactive. Is it the same kind of feeling like that's a different one? So we cut. Sorry. we cut to some other lady driving down to Texas Highway listening to the news about herself. Apparently, like, there was some Chicago
Starting point is 00:14:24 hostage situation gone wrong. And it was such a cock up. It made Texas Radio. And as we see, the cover of USA Today, America's fake newspaper. It was like if the negotiator, if Kevin Spacey hadn't been able to get there. Oh, yeah. It was that kind of situation. Let me ask you that.
Starting point is 00:14:45 guys this this is an on the level legitimate question uh-huh the negotiator is that an episode probably right i think it's a heavy-duty hangover movie i don't really remember it much i remember seeing in the theater yeah it's kind of forgettable i'm sure we could talk about no just checking no no just check it a peek yeah hey peeka boo hey little peek of rudy so she's driving listening to herself and she's got like that's a nice twist it's your classic this is a male character's movie you know what I mean like basically oh I have to go
Starting point is 00:15:21 to the desert to find myself after this police botched thing go wrong man which I think first of all she's making great time because we're led to believe that this should happen the night before and she's already in West Texas well maybe she flew and then bought or rented a car oh that could be
Starting point is 00:15:37 you know what I need to see her at the airport otherwise I'm just otherwise I'm assuming this is a road trip you could push it to the limit dude and you get down there A late-night hostage situation goes wrong. You immediately skip town. Also, that's fucked up. You know that she's got questions to answer.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Is she going to Mexico? She got a bunch of people killed, didn't she? She resigns really quickly. I resign, bye. Also, though, it's weird because she's not a cop. She's just like a police psychologist. Yes. But they don't really get into it.
Starting point is 00:16:06 They show it for a second. It does look like Terminator B-roll. It's like the top of a building, there's snipers. Something explodes and that's it. like is she just like um oh okay they're not respond they're not picking up kill everybody now you could definitely do like the voice over there it's like and then the machines woke up yes and i knew i had to get my son john away from me it is it does it looks very much like that's so weird terminator ask um terminator esk this movie is just like james cameron movies
Starting point is 00:16:37 that's how good it is so she in the middle of this she has like a weird flashback and And whilst having that, you know, she realized she's on the wrong side of the road and she has to veer off and like she, her car. She just runs into a truck, which I thought was Roger Clinton. Oh, really? I was looking out for Roger Clinton again. He's never seen again. I thought the same thing. Hey, Roger, you coming back? Do you drive that truck or what?
Starting point is 00:17:02 I'm going to turn this off unless you're back in it, bud. It sucks. Hey, Roger, if you go to the bathroom, why don't you grab me another beer, brother? Make sure you get it. After you wash your hands. I don't know how you go. You got more time in Biodome or what? Is he in Biodome?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah. Wow. Which, by the way, the young kid in this movie is also in Biodom. What? Which I'm like, wait, does Roger Clinton and this child actor of the same agent? Like, what is going on? They're a package deal. No, Roger Clinton just owns that kid.
Starting point is 00:17:37 He bought him. He bought him outright. One of a poker game. With the Clinton White House, I wouldn't be surprised. InfoWars. Pop-Tart. Dot Farts. Catch him in bed with a rogerick, fricking froggerke. Dot fruit roll up.
Starting point is 00:17:56 So her car breaks down, and she's just like looking for help. She's like, hell on people on the side of the road. Jim Belushi whizzes right by her, and then she gives him, like, the fake arm up your asshole move, which I always kind of like. Yeah, the old go fist to yourself. The old puppet master. Fist it, man. Which is great because go fist yourself is way more visceral than go fuck you. You get the finger.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Oh, yeah, when they work the fingers at the end of it? Yeah. If you just get a straight up finger, you're like, oh, whatever. When you get the fras and then open it, man, dig in, man. Fucking feel around. What do you want to, right? Like a parlor game at a lame Halloween party. Oh, yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:18:41 It gets dark up there. everybody's been doing the finger for decades but the old fucking fished out there that will make Jim Belushi pull right over and he did he came back did you got something to say to me or something like he said something like that's like
Starting point is 00:18:54 hey car trouble huh she's like yeah he's like well there's a tow area right up the road I mean I'm not I don't know if I can do Jim Belushi trying a bad Southern accent I tried doing it earlier today
Starting point is 00:19:07 did you pull something I passed out I woke up like minutes later. It's like one of those Hawaiian high things. There's a lot coming out of your nose. Yeah, totally. Have you experienced missing time? I did. You might be the subject of an alien
Starting point is 00:19:23 abduction. Oh, if you have any information about trying to do Jim Balushi doing a Texas accent, you might be able to help us solve a mystery. If you've been able to track down a copy of Radio retroactive, you might be able to solve a mystery. We want to speak to you.
Starting point is 00:19:40 so but yeah just whatever we're doing jimbleu she pretend he's doing the absolute worst southern accent yeah and speaking of which this woman I think her name is Kylie Chandler Kylie Travis Kylie Travis is it
Starting point is 00:19:53 is doing a bad American and southern accent it's in and out and up and down yeah like she was a model from the UK yeah and this thing is just slingshotin all over the place couldn't afford Samantha Morton That's for sure. Well, that's the one thing about this movie, though.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Just dub them. Dub everyone. Gets, like, they have, this movie somehow has three writers. How do you, how does a bad screenplay that has no money behind it go from writer to writer to writer? I guess it's just like, we're going to credit the script doctors and it's like someone is trying to make sense of something. Yeah, I guess so. But don't make, just don't make the movie. Maybe two of them are a team and then somebody else had to do the others.
Starting point is 00:20:39 them there are teams yeah that's trouble so he's like oh go drive you up the road i got a buddy with a tow truck you know about he says a couple clicks up the road because this is oh maybe he was in the military ladies gentlemen it's a snappy screenplay look out for it yeah oh my god i'm not doing that that's the scripts it's just pop up yeah it's we're post tarentino at this point we're definitely post natural born killers same year same year oh really okay is it 97 no You're the one saying it. This is 1997. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 No, I was just because we just did My Father of the Hero. Oh, right. Yeah, we were recording this episode the same day we recorded My Father the Hero. We're getting release dates mixed up. That's okay. These things happen. But yeah, so it's very like, aside from the camera filters, we don't have any like really big pop culturey things, but it's like it's guys with guns in a desert. We've got suit kit.
Starting point is 00:21:35 You know what I mean? It's very that. Shitty sex talk. Mm-hmm. And that's X-Docke. That's what happens right here. So Jim Belushi's like, he's trying to tell this story that might also just be a joke. It's one of those like, that didn't happen to you. Yeah, exactly. So some lady came up to, you know, listen to this babe. Like his girlfriend is sitting right in shock. And like she, this girlfriend is actually almost too good of an actress because she's like super terrified of him. And it makes like this whole movie like real uncomfortable. Oh no, she wasn't acting. She was just sitting next to Jim Belushi. Yeah. By the way, two women in a car. with Jim Belushi. I hope nobody starts negative. Oh, geez. Don't try
Starting point is 00:22:11 giving me directions, you bimbos. You want to be thrown out this car? I'll do it. So he's like, oh, hey, baby, listen to this story. And he's basically like, so some woman I saw, she was pretty hot, huh? And, you know, like, oh, uh, she commented on my belt buckle and said, that's a nice belt buckle. And then guess what I said?
Starting point is 00:22:33 Guess. Get. And this, I hate when people do this. They're like, guess what I say. and I'm like, that's a formality. Just tell me. And then they go into the, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, guess. I'm not going to do it. You can't get it. I don't give a shit enough to guess about anything.
Starting point is 00:22:50 So let's just talk about something else then. How about hamburgers? There you go. That's why. And then finally, I'll talk about hamburgers to the cows come home. Medium rare or busts. Oh, yeah. Any kind of red meat.
Starting point is 00:23:03 You got to go right. So he's like, so what I said to her was, you know, look even better pressed against your forehead get it dick sucking and these two ladies are like oh great oh that's fantastic did you get it
Starting point is 00:23:19 and like at this point clearly like Kylie Travis in the back is like man did I pick the wrong fucking car because it kind of makes sense like if you're looking for a ride somewhere a couple is a little bit better than just a single guy you're not going to get no car 10 times out of 10
Starting point is 00:23:35 you're like never enter a car with a single man You're like, all right, a couple, like, at least somebody likes this guy, right? But the answer is no. I mean, you don't want to be like fucking I own sky and a Zodiac there. I own sky. Is that how you pronounce name? I own. I only.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I thought you were saying you owned the sky. Oh, I do. But that's not what I was talking about. I'll get the red check right. Talk about the actress from Say Anything. Yeah, she's in Zodiac. Yeah, she's in Zodiac for three seconds and then she jumps out of a car with a baby. Yeah, that which is what I would do.
Starting point is 00:24:08 If you're in the car with the Zodiac. Tuck and roll, Sadak. But, yeah, I mean, like, so she gets in, and she's already like, oh, fuck, this is stupid. And he's like, oh, what do you got there? She's like, oh, it's a book on psychology. I'm a psychologist. He's like, oh, a bunch of stupid shit there
Starting point is 00:24:24 about how that's fake. Moving on. Is it balls? Then it's fake. So then he gets pulled over and you're like, all right. Like, you can kind of see. where all of this is going
Starting point is 00:24:38 because the tension's riding high in the car. He's like probably most definitely a criminal. We saw that interaction with the famous Roger Clinton just a few minutes ago. He's clearly abusive to this girlfriend. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:51 So it's like awesome. And he like the cop. Yeah, he immediately gets out of the car and this sheriff who is, what were we saying? Who is he from? Eric? What's he from?
Starting point is 00:25:00 Oh, the sheriff, this like state trooper is portrayed by the guy who was, was in the episode on the junior mint in Seinfeld. He gets the mint inside of him. He's the artist with the triangle. Right, Elaine's ex-boyfriend. Who she dumped because he was fat.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. He's thin in this, actually, to be quite honest. Which is, it's definitely after that junior mint episode. They got trim. And, like, you know, basically there's a lot of nonsense. It's just a lot of nonsense that he gets a ticket and he's all pissed about it, right? Like, but he's outside the car. I mean, like, and obviously he's a white guy.
Starting point is 00:25:36 He's not going to get shot in the fucking head. No, no, no. Just for stepping out of the car. No, no, no. Which you shouldn't do it ever if you're pulled over. Yeah. He's like rambling about like the guys like who's in the car with you. And he's like, oh, them?
Starting point is 00:25:49 They're just my women. And this cop's like, sir, bigamies against the law. I ain't married. Also lying to me is also against the law. Sir, who are they really? Are they your sister? Your sister and your sister's friend Are you trying to seem like a big man in front of me
Starting point is 00:26:11 And at this point honestly Once the the car pulls over If I'm Kylie Travis in the back I'm like yep peace bye Hey officer fuck this Can I have a ride? Yes exactly And then you know what? No retroactive
Starting point is 00:26:24 No retroactive no oh man Then we wouldn't get this great movie It's true we wouldn't At one point So they get back on the road He's all pissed about he got a ticket This is when you realize he's like kind of violent he's screaming at her
Starting point is 00:26:35 there is a Mexican guy that drives by that kind of locks eyes with his lady friend there and like he's like what is that guy looking at you for
Starting point is 00:26:45 and he starts using like all sorts of fucking slurs and it's awesome and they finally get to the it's awesome yeah no it's not
Starting point is 00:26:52 they go to the the tow truck place run by everyone's favorite and M.M. at Walsh by the way that's how this
Starting point is 00:26:58 movie credits oh he gets an and beautiful and so at M. at this point like Kyler Travis goes to Raylene
Starting point is 00:27:08 is this woman's name she's like hey Raylene you should go to a women's shelter here's the number for Ray Ann, I apologize Apologies to Ray Ann's everywhere Here's a number for women's shelter I'm out of here by Yeah she goes to use the phone she drops her wallet It's the stupidest shit the way they show this
Starting point is 00:27:26 Dude the wallet like hits the floor of the car in slow motion and then it's like a law and order Dung-Dung well that's fate man. Think about it. If that didn't happen again no retroactive. Think about that every little thing affects the future events. That's right. That's right. So you got to be careful with time travel.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Jim's inside getting road sodas. Yeah. That's the whole thing. He's like, I'm a little parched for some road sodas, man. And it's so stupid. He's like, hey ladies, you want some of the drink because I'm getting something and drink. Just go get your fucking beer. Can I have some water, please?
Starting point is 00:28:00 You pick. Can I get an Arizona iced tea? The big one. Hey, it's 1997. You got any Fruitopia in there, M.M. It walls. Yeah, it's light beer. Oh, Fruitopia.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It's been out of here for years. Oh, nobody wanted to drink. Slightly carbonated juice. Stupid hippie craft. I can get your soapy green tea. Last guy that ordered a Fruitopia, I split his head over it. Burn. all the watermelon iced teas
Starting point is 00:28:35 out from. Get you a nice canned Arnold Palmer though. Drink it right up. So he goes to Baloochey's like paying for this beer. They're buddies. And he's like, hey, I got some pictures you might want to see. And he gives, he pulls out of his front
Starting point is 00:28:51 pockets, pictures of Rayan making out and making love to this, to the Mexican guy we saw earlier. His name's Jesse. Jesse. Who also played a dude named Jesse on the fame team. TV show. Get this. The actor's name is Jesse. It's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:29:07 It's like a Tony Danza situation. I think much like Tony Danza, I think this dude only responds to Jesse. That's the thing. So it's her making love to Jesse and like Belushi's like steaming. And the funny thing is like Eminem at Walsh is kind of laughing at him and like lick his lip. He's having a great time with this information dump. Which he doesn't even mention how
Starting point is 00:29:29 he got it at all. It doesn't make any sense. Like I'm sitting there like did someone hire M.M. at Walsh. Is M.M. at Walsh, a private investigator on his own, on top of being an independent small business owner who operates this gas station? What is going on? Why is he in possession of these pictures? And why is he licking his chops like a cartoon wall? He also would seemingly be an international arms dealer because he's got, he's taken the microchips in this version. He's got the money. He's got the money that would then go to Roger Clinton. Oh, that's what I think it is his M.M. at Walsh owes Jim Belushi money for
Starting point is 00:30:05 and he's going to use Jim Belushi is going to use that money to pay off Roger Clinton for the microchips that somehow truck driver Roger Clinton procured. And when the two of them are talking about these microchips, he's like, oh man, these people go crazy over microchips. Like nobody knows what anybody is fucking talking about. Well, the funny thing is, finally later in the movie, you find out that Frank Wally had or Waley had bought
Starting point is 00:30:30 some of these microchips in the past. And then even what's her name, Kylo Travis, it's like, well, what are these microchips? Like, they're really good microchip. That's basically all he says.
Starting point is 00:30:42 The government makes them, they're really good microchipers. Yeah, they're like government design. But it doesn't make any sense. His time machine is working and also you're being shut down. Why are you buying microchips? And also, by the way, I guarantee you,
Starting point is 00:30:55 like the first time this happened, like Roger Clinton got a really good cut from microchips from like, Maybe he got them from a government facility. Second time, he's just opening his VCR and taking shit out, breaking the motherboard up and like, oh, look at these microchips. I'm going to make my own microchips. Here's a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:31:16 So Jim Belushi is fucking boiling inside at this point. She tries to call. The number doesn't work. She's like, oh, I left my wallet in that perverts car. And as she goes in to get it, Belushi gets in the car and, like, storms off. And she gets, like, kind of sucked back in the call. I don't get this. Just bend over and pick it up off the floor.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Why are you getting back in the automobile entirely? Or even ask, hey, Rayan, is my wallet in there? Yeah, Rayan, did I drop my wallet back there? Hey, Rayan, can you wake up for a second? Just try to get under the seat. Rayan, Rayan, I'm not getting back in that car. It smells. Could you get my wallet?
Starting point is 00:31:50 It's right there, Rayan, Rayan. It smells like Jim Belushi. It's just rocking. Also, we should, we'd be remiss to mention because this is one of the, it's important. A family from Wisconsin pulls up. and the little kids got a gun that looks like a real gun and those were the days
Starting point is 00:32:04 it was freeze and she freaks out and then they're like oh how do we get to a camping site uh ran gives them directions and they drive away how do we get to a camping site off the highway in the West Texas desert hey why are we here
Starting point is 00:32:15 fucking family vacation is this shit well it's only 10 miles down the road but then what's there I have no idea you're in fucking coyote country man this family's gonna be eaten alive eat that kid well the thing is this family
Starting point is 00:32:29 among other people in this movie. It's just like a final destination. They would have probably died camping. Oh, right. So now that they're not going to die. Yeah. So now they'll just die by Belushi hands. So that's kind of where we're going.
Starting point is 00:32:42 So basically they all get, they're all in this car and like, Belushi's giving her shit. You're like, oh, are you sleeping with more Mexican slurs that probably were ad lib? And this, you know, one we can say.
Starting point is 00:32:55 You call the Taco Head? Yes. I mean, that is just like, were you in the fucking first grade seriously and learn a better slur buddy and then finally
Starting point is 00:33:07 he pulls off to the side of the road and he pulls up the side of the road and he goes you know what rayan I'm done with it and he pulls out this gun that nobody knew he had and blows her head off right and this is the first of many great shots great squibs the whole window blows back and I'm like
Starting point is 00:33:22 pretty cool it was awesome this is after by the way he splashes a bunch of road soda in Ray Ann's Oh, this is fair. Do you or do you not want a beer? And this is so stupid because it's like, clearly this deadbeat doesn't want to share his road sodas. No, well, he's just a mentally abusing her as well. Oh, man, he is livid because he just found out about the infidelity.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Oh, right. So he's just tossing the beer in her face and he's like pouring it all over the place. And then he, Fisher Kingser. You can't drink right now. And in the back color. And in the back color, Travis is like, I could have just canceled my credit card. I definitely, my dad has a copy of my license.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Like, what was really in that wallet that you needed? Oh, fuck. Oh, great. Great. There was eight bucks. Awesome. You know what's an interesting detail I want to bring up because it's not anything really important to the story. There's no story, so that's fine.
Starting point is 00:34:19 But so when we're in M.M. at Walsh's gas station and we're kind of like having a look around, there's one shot of Jim Belushi, like, you know, being a fat idiot. in the store and whatever. And in the foreground. There's a lot of shots. Yeah, yeah, oh, that's true. In the foreground, you see some of the
Starting point is 00:34:34 products that M. Emmett Walsh has for sale at his little general store. Oh, a little general store run by Jaden Smith? I'll report right to the general. The little general. M. M. M.
Starting point is 00:34:46 at Walsh is selling boxes of Olympic Lucky charms. What does that mean? Oh, like, from... I think it was like a... The 96 Olympics. Yeah. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Pretty cool. It's awesome. Good for the Olympic-sized lucky chance. I just... New contract with Kellogg. I actually looked it up because this place, M.M. Walsh's place, really reminded me of the beginning of Dust Till Dawn. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:35:12 This is a year after, so, you know. Is it the same gas station? No, I don't know if it's the same gas. No, they blow that one up, actually. Oh, they kind of blow this one up. Yeah, maybe they keep building enough to blow it up. Blowing up all sorts of gas stations. A man, M. M. at Walshan from Dust till Dawn.
Starting point is 00:35:27 holy fuck that hot woman's a vampire no that that that Danny Trejo is also a vampire oh dude maybe this is a connected universe maybe Roger Clinton goes to the titty twist oh yeah Roger Clinton is a regular the titty go bikers and truckers okay Roger Clinton you can come in we only accept bikers truckers and Roger Clintons oh man and like all the vampires like no Nobody fucks with Roger Clinton. He drinks for free. Roger Clinton in this movie is waiting for his big sum of money that never comes, and he's vanished.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I presume desert vampires got that makes a good deal. You're totally right. So Belushi's freaking the fuck out. He shoots Rayan in the head. Yeah. And then like, what's her face? Kylie Travis gets out of the car. They kind of fight a little bit, but then she like kicks him and runs off.
Starting point is 00:36:20 And she's in like so much better shape than Jim Belushi has ever been in. Oh, by a country mile. So like there's no way in the world he could ever catch him. this woman. She runs like fucking fence man. She runs 10 miles in the morning. This guy's not run 10 miles in a year. No, she's got all the time of the world to get away from Jim Belushi. She does. Running really
Starting point is 00:36:37 fast and then she's hopping that chain link fence. She does to Frank Whaley's facility which also kind of brings to mind like the position of this facility to Eminem at Walsh's world of liquor is kind of like, is it like right next to each other? It must be because at one
Starting point is 00:36:53 point she runs from there to there. And she says something to Frank Whaley about like oh we got to go back it's that gas station right down the road do you know it and frank well he's like oh yeah definitely that's where i get my lunch every day oh man maybe that's part of the business there because it's like the government facility you get the government workers sure yeah every uh every day i make your sandwich if you want oh you can also maybe eat some of these old hot dogs and john hawks stole my bed or am i stealing his bed uh so she she does wouldn't you know it goes walks right into a time travel facility man
Starting point is 00:37:33 what are the odds and like frank waley is like no nervousing around and he accidentally sends her back 20 minutes right and this is kind of what you realize oh this is the because like this takes about 40 minutes the first part of it you know what I mean you're like well so what is this movie how does one have to do with the other you know what I mean like you know what I thought the minute this I was like wait that was only 20 minutes I felt like a solid 55. But it's rough, though, because what you realize is if we're in this time loop, the
Starting point is 00:38:03 majority of this movie is taking place at a gas station. And in a car with a couple arguing. Yeah. Awesome. With Jim Belushi arguing. It's tough. It's tough. You're doomed to repeat the obnoxious first 20 minutes of this movie. Live, die, repeat.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Actually, at this point, my fiance, it was like, yeah, I'm going to bed. It was like a clear, like, she was like watching it, like, oh, maybe they'll be Cool time. No, it's, I just have to watch that again. Yeah, I'm going to bed. No, she's missing out. Yeah. So, um, there's a great line. Sorry, before she goes back in time, like, when Jim Belushi, it's like right before the chase scene happens. And he's like, he's like, he's screaming at her. And, you know, like, now I don't have anyone. And he goes, not even Ray Ann. Who is dead now? He's like, right. Thanks for nothing. It's like, what? I fucking love it. Who is dead now? I had to talk to. You had to bring my kids here, which I hate.
Starting point is 00:39:02 But apparently, they never show it. Balushi does get over this fence and starts pounding on the super door. Yeah. Which has like a magnetic lock or whatever nonsense. Yeah, the same thing happened on Mantis. Basically, Frank Whaley, sets it for 20 minutes. He was going to do like an experiment on another rat. Well, he drops a bottle and it hits this keyboard and it goes back and it starts the machine.
Starting point is 00:39:25 And by the way, all of his monitors are running like windows. Windows 3.11 or something. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Man, that took me back. Totally did, dude. That's time traveling of itself right there. But that, it's fucking hilarious because Frank Whaley's like, hello, police department, wah! And like a bunch of bottles just fall on a keyboard. And it's like, time machine activated. Jesus Christ, you need to have better safety protocols than hitting the space button. Maybe click a yes or a no afterwards. At least a yes or a no. Are you sure you want to travel? through time. And the room starts spinning like that time tunnel and you start to see Jim Belushi's car again. And I'm, I thought like, wait, did he drive a car in here? I was getting really confused for a second. I was like, how did he get this car in here? But no, it's we cut to the highway and we're starting over again. And now, you know, it's not further back enough where she could just decide not to go into the car. So she, she has to kind of like take what she knows within the car. Right. And at this point, yet again, uh, it's like grandhogs, grandhogs.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Day, right? But it's just Hogs Day. My new time travel adventure, Hogs Day. Yeah, because I think we're still, like, a year off from Run Lola Run. At least, that's a similar. It was that 98, 99? Yeah, that sounds right to me. And Ground on the Hog Day was like, what, 95?
Starting point is 00:40:45 95. Something like that. Yeah. I remember Walsh was in all those movies. His spirit is. Oh, run, Lola, run. What I do, you know, you do some German for our, Bill Murray, You're going to have to seduce Andy McDonald's. I saw a German girl go through here with red hair.
Starting point is 00:41:03 The only reason I got in that movie, I'm a big friend of Tim Tickfus. Long-time friends. I actually used some of my mixtapes for the soundtrack. I listen to that shit all the time when I'm rolling at home.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Look out for that step. It's a doozy. Run the little run, by the way, 98. Oh, okay. Very nice. Right around the corner. So the thing that, which I hate about these kinds of, if you're doing that thing where we're in a time loop and we have to do, we have to realize that we're doing the exact
Starting point is 00:41:41 same thing over again. We need to do the exact same thing over again. Use the same takes, please. Same takes or at least like really be sure we're doing the same dialogue because it's Jim Belushi and he's telling the bell puckle story again. And instead of, which is, I mean, it's a time thing. because it takes forever for him to get to the punchline in the first time.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Instead of that, instead of doing the like, guess, guess what I said, go ahead, guess. He just is like, guess what I said. Well, I said this. And it's like, well, that's not what I just saw. That's maybe in a prank. I get it's retroactive. Nobody cares.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Yeah, nobody was monitoring this. Not even a script supervisor. So then she realizes like, okay, here's a good way to fool Jim Belushi. Pretend as if I'm all horned up for him. Well, that's later in the movie. That's not this one? That's the next one.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Oh, this one, she's just trying to, like, figure it out, I guess. This one, she goes to the cop, right? Oh, oh, this is when the cop gets murdered. So she's like, oh, all right, I'm going to use the cop when that happens. When he leaves the car to talk to the cop, she goes to Rand. She's like, where's his gun. Tell me where his gun is. Tell me where his gun.
Starting point is 00:42:43 She's like, oh, he always has his gun on him. Right. And then you see, like, this guy walks out of a car with a gun sticking out of his belt buckle in the back. Yeah, that's... Classic move. Well, it's Texas. That's balls. man uh and like she realizes that she she pops out of the car she's like officer this guy's a criminal
Starting point is 00:43:01 blah blah blah and like it just gets this guy killed this this guy's murdered almost immediately there's a big like you know chase once again this is oh when they get to the gas station this time well at this time they fight and um rayan takes the car and this is when the car explodes amazingly there's a lot of good car explosions in this movie she was like i got the microchips I'm driving away and like Balushi starts like shooting the car and it mannixes itself into a fucking fireball. That's right. I was getting
Starting point is 00:43:34 ahead of myself. This is the time where he's like and Ray-in. Who is dead now? Thank you very much. That's this time. It's hard because literally we're going to tell you gentle listeners is the same movie five to six different ways. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Let's not only tell the gentle listeners let's tell the hard listeners. Oh right. Yeah. The Biff ribs out there's also so in this version Balushi hilariously like pulls a gun on the family yes which is great I think also in when they're at the gas station this time
Starting point is 00:44:08 they do get to the gas station they do yeah he brings her to the gas station this is when it turns to do it this is when you realize Emin Walsh's in on it he's like we got a kill we got a killer man and he's like take her to the desert don't do it here man I'm sick and tired of burying bodies behind my gas station
Starting point is 00:44:24 well my favorite part about this whole thing is Kylie Travis, so Kylie Travis and Jim Belushi are like squaring off and Jesse shows up again. Yes. And he's and Jim Belushi's like, no, she's the evil one. Not me. Yes. Not the piggish little me. Pigish little me. And like he actually is like confounded like
Starting point is 00:44:45 Who should I trust? The maniac with the gun his ass or this fine lady who's pointing a gun at him. Well this Jesse's got hard decisions to make. He winds up ultimately just getting murdered. Jesse is kind of doomed to die in all this is another guy who's got Tony Todd hot on his trail. He really does.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Tony Todd's real busy. Well, that's the thing is what are we talking about with these alternate timelines? Like, what happens? What do you mean? Like, where do they go? Are they just like splinter off into nothing? Well, I've got a theory that every single time deviate like this.
Starting point is 00:45:22 The world is forced to live out that timeline. Like, Right now, we're in the Trump era, which didn't really happen. But now we have to live out this timeline and die before the time traveler fixes it. Oh, okay. That's unfortunate. So we'll live both. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:39 But we're going to have to die in this one first. Well, we will soon. That's for sure. Oh, very soon. Very, very soon. Yeah. I'll see it in the parking lot. I just love that.
Starting point is 00:45:50 That whole exchange between M.M. at Walsh and Jim Belushi, I'm like, what is the retroactive prequel where they are just burying people in the desert. You got a whole desert here. All those desert vampires got them. I don't know why we just don't bring them to the titty twister. They could be the lunch
Starting point is 00:46:09 buffet at the titty twister. Hey there, Cheech man. Got another for you. Hey, sex machine, you hungry. Hello, slow boys. You want to play this one? The slowboats. That is a
Starting point is 00:46:25 a stupid thing in that movie where they're playing people like and just don't come into my gas station and let a toilet pepper roll on fire and throw up behind the register. Steve, are you still watching that TV show? I never watched that TV show. Oh, I thought you did. That's fake
Starting point is 00:46:41 news, man. The L. Ray Network. I watch the L. Ray Network. Oh, that's what I watch everything. You are. You're obsessed with the L. Ray Network. As well, I should be. If they want to sponsor the show, you give me an email. Yeah, so like it just, it goes tits up, once again. And then she
Starting point is 00:46:57 runs back to Frank Whaley and she's like, oh, because Rayanne dies in this universe. She gets shot in the back this time, I think. No, no, no. Oh, this is the blow-up. Yes. So she's like, all right, fuck. Rayan is always going to die. So I'm going to go back. She goes back again. Actually, is this the first time the family
Starting point is 00:47:13 dies? No, the family doesn't die. I think the family peels out. Jim Blasie pulls a gun on this. When she goes back, she starts to hit on him now, right? This is the hit on one. Yeah, this is also, so she says to Frank Whaley, like, here's the deal. This machine worked once before.
Starting point is 00:47:30 He's like, good night, future boy. He really realizes he's Doc Brown of this. Yeah, which he's very excited about because his friend Eric Stoltz got cut out of that movie. Of course I wouldn't remember it. I haven't sent you back in time yet. So she's like, all right, now we should both go back in time. And when this happens, you'll be back at your lab 20 minutes ago. You have to immediately call the police department because,
Starting point is 00:47:54 I will be on my way with this fucking fat maniac in a car. And at this point, he's like, no, I'm not going to do that. That gives you cancer. And she's like, what? Oh, yeah, I didn't tell you that. Well, he is rightfully reluctant. He's like, okay, if I did this once before, like, it was an accident, I don't know what happens to you. I haven't started this.
Starting point is 00:48:13 She's like, there's no time. Ray Ann needs me. I'm like, I don't give a fuck about Ray Ann. Yeah, I mean, not for nothing. I'm sorry. It's just Ray Ann. Ray Ann's going to do Ray Ann. I mean, I guess at this point also
Starting point is 00:48:26 the other, Jesse is dead, so that's two people as opposed to one. The cops dead. Oh, yeah. So, you know, the bodies are piling up at her feet, so she probably should have left well enough alone in the first place. Totally. So we go back this time, and this is when she's like hitting on Jim Belushi, and she's like,
Starting point is 00:48:43 you know, you know what I love? Motels. Because you can do anything you want. And beer, and corn chips, and football. Barts. Maybe there's a Cubs game. And she, like, while this is happening, she's, like, reaching her hand down
Starting point is 00:49:03 to pull the gun out of his jeans is the idea. And she, like, eventually pulls a gun on him. And then he's like, wait, does this mean you don't want to go to the motel? It takes him a very long time to realize this woman would never have sex with him. Wait, we're not having sex? He's like, oh, but I thought it was party time.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Oh, chilly dance for six. they get to the what do you call it there they get to the gas station again I think there's a more fighting they do fight a lot in this movie and the thing is what what Tyler Travis needs to realize a lot sooner is shoot this fucking dude
Starting point is 00:49:38 in the head yep the second you get the gun you shoot him in the head that's the end of it the worst that can happen is like he's killed and like the car kind of goes out of control but maybe Ray Ann's got that covered yeah sure you guys work together but um this time is when Rayan is shot in the back.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yes. And this is also when he says Taco Head, sorry. He does say Taco Head. I think Jesse gets involved, he gets killed. The family at this point, this is when,
Starting point is 00:50:05 and you know what, Kylie Travis, leave this family alone. Shoot them off. She's like, help, help, I need to get in your car. I need to get in your car.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Just let him go. This ain't their fight. Because this is the thing. And like Eric said, he is a Terminator-esque fighter in this movie. Like, nothing takes him down.
Starting point is 00:50:21 He won't stop coming after you. And he's got a handgun and And then later he's got a shotgun and he's unstoppable. Once he gets that shotgun, man, this is like a level up. He like pushes her through a plate glass window. He goes through a plate glass window. He's like Anton Sugar.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Like, that's nothing stops him. I made out of liquid metal. It's awesome when she kicks Belushi through the window because it's a window in a door. Yeah. And you cut to this stunt man. I mean, I think this guy's also done work for Tom Selling. Because he looks more like Tom Selling than he looks like Jim Bolution. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:50:55 But this guy, yeah, he goes through the window and everything, but Belushi just keeps on coming. And, yeah, oh, this is, oh, so this is actually, this whole thing is started by the cop who wasn't murdered this time in the road, gets to the gas station. A bit of a Mexican standoff. Right. Hilariously, though, this cop comes in.
Starting point is 00:51:15 He's like, say M.M. at Walsh, you know what's hilarious? And this cop is like holding pornography, which is pretty great. Well, he goes, hey, look, I found your daughter. Oh, that's not funny, Sheriff. My daughter went missing several years ago. It was actually featured on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. I think it was a penthouse. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Oh, that's embarrassing. So she gets into this family's car, gets them involved. They drive into the gas station. The parents burn alive. Crispy critters. She barely gets the kid out. Which I don't understand how this works. The car is like barreling towards the gas station.
Starting point is 00:51:54 and she just grabs this child out of the car and at this point she just runs to fucking the government facility which is like a block away. It's a click. It's one click and she gets there and like now Frank Willis like wait you brought a kid here man like oh this is way too many people to be time traveling at once there's never a like a weight
Starting point is 00:52:16 limit maybe for this time travel thing the best is one of the best lines of the movie happens with this police standoff because it's like, you know, Belushi's got a gun on her, she's got a gun on Belushi, the cops got a gun on Belushi, M.M. at Wall's just cowering, but he also has
Starting point is 00:52:33 a gun because it's Texas. And Belushi's like, all right, yeah, yeah, I'll put my gun down, but I don't know what, you know, why you want me to do that? And you know, she's like, oh, you got to look in his shirt because that's where these microchips are. And he's like, all right, come on Jim Belushi, open your shirt. And he's like,
Starting point is 00:52:50 I don't know why you want to look down there. All that's in there is a beerbell. and then he just starts shooting this dude and he's like, and some bullets for you! Oh, it's awesome. He is just, he is gnoshed on this scenery, man.
Starting point is 00:53:04 He really is. Because like when he gets into it, later when she gets in the car with the family, he's in the cop car and he's driving around. He's like, bumping cars. And at this point, like, M.M. at Walsh is like on his side
Starting point is 00:53:15 and is like his minion. So he's like, he's got this magnum and he's like shooting at this family. I'm involved too. I'm involved too. And he gets shot in the heart. Oh, yeah, he does get, he gets laid out a couple times in this movie. He does, he gets shot in the heart in this version.
Starting point is 00:53:32 So she brings him to the facility and then somehow, what should I call it? I think Jim Belushi follows them in at this point. He's able to get in somehow. Well, that's, it's one of the biggest plot holes in the movie because he shows up like, hey everybody. Well, doesn't he tell, like Frank Wiley like, well, you don't remember? You let me in once before. Yes, he does. But so what is, what are we even?
Starting point is 00:53:53 talking about you don't even remember the movie doesn't remember it's like great it's just like oh he was let in once for his computer chip delivery I guess is what we're led to believe so in this one uh so she's about to travel back in time but only
Starting point is 00:54:11 Jim Belushi and the kid go back in time oh is and they go back 10 minutes so they go back 10 minutes and now it's Belushi he remembers everything and then the little kid remembers his parents' fiery death. He does, and he's like, and he sees what you call
Starting point is 00:54:27 Kyla Travis, like, again, hailing him down the road. And he's like, well, pick him up. And I'm like, no. Remember how your parents died? Maybe this kid's in on it. Maybe that's what he wants. Oh, he's totally in on it. Maybe he's a young Belushi.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Oh, wow. He's like a problem child. I feel like it's, if you're going back in time this many times, at one point, like you turn into a lizard person. You're like, ah, shit. You know what? Or I fucked around too much. It's raining donuts that day.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Yes, exactly. Exactly. Something needs to happen. What's a donut? No. Oh, shit. Now I have no orbital holes. Damn it. I've got no eyes.
Starting point is 00:55:02 One thing that does get repeated is Jim Belushi's one line of, I love a good Chevrolet. Of course you do. Because he's driving. I guess the cop car is a Chevy. It's an American, man. It's American made. What a wonderful.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So it happens again. Again, the family hooks right up. They blow up again again. It's just like, leave the, people alone. Let them go on their bad vacation. Yeah, let them find that dangerous campground they're looking for, man.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Excuse me, sir. Do you know where I can find Jason Voorhees' campground? Oh man, you know, it would be great as if like, you know, this is all going on and like Joe Flaherty keeps getting involved. Jim Belushi! I've got a letter for you. Jim Belushi, I work for Western Union.
Starting point is 00:55:51 had a bet going downtown whether or not you'd be here. An overweight man from Chicago. Put this letter in my hand and told me to be right here, right now. He's doing a bad Texas accent. Like, when I get the sliders involved, too, like, let's really up the end. Let's do everything, man, you know? I don't know. Hitler.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Yes. I mean, like, this would have, I mean, like, actually, to be fair, Eric, I think you're right. Like, you go back in time enough. Yeah. World War II will be won by the next. Nazis. Even if you're going back 20 minutes at the time, it's just, it was a real coin flip. Right. Well, because the, you know, the fabric of the space time continuum is just getting worn out, man. You can't be messing with shit like this. And I think, like, even Frank Whaley's like, this is kind of too much. And everyone's like, shut up.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Quiet, Waley. Yeah, exactly. You want to be a star, don't you? I don't even know. Like, yeah, so then they blow up and then like. And then Frank Whaley is in going back with them or something? There's just there, it's a time travel team, man. I guess so. So basically like towards the end of this thing is like, everybody's dead yet again. Yes. It's a pile of carnage.
Starting point is 00:57:04 And I mean like the carnage is kind of fun to watch. Oh, it's great. It's all practical effects. There's no shitty CGI, which is why I'm glad this movie was made in 1997. Because that's what I was saying. I honestly, I kind of miss these like 90s thriller, sci-fi nonsense that you'd see. on TV like one in the morning. Oh, totally. Because if
Starting point is 00:57:25 this movie was made today, it's like it would be direct to streaming like terrible cheap CGI, fake fire all over the place. And like, you know, whatever. The time travel effect of just spinning the camera like Batman, it's stupid but like you get it out of the way. Yes. You know, I don't have to see anyone.
Starting point is 00:57:43 It's watchable. Like those movies that are on streaming are just unwatchable. Totally unwatchable. So you go back in time We all go back to the facility And then like Frank This fucking facility again And then like Frank Whaley is like
Starting point is 00:57:58 Well I could set the machine back 60 minutes But that might destroy the whole thing And she's like What do we care because we're going back in time anyway And he's like oh yeah good point It's fucking we'll just end the universe How about that shit What if the universe just collapses in on itself
Starting point is 00:58:13 Whaley Just because Ray Ann is dead And some fucking some her lover And you know like I don't this family who definitely that's on you Kylie Travis by the way Yeah totally this isn't Frank Whaley's problem Frank Whaley just needs to kick everybody out
Starting point is 00:58:26 Exactly you know I'm the guardian of the timeline at this point Because I'm the only one with any kind of scientific background And I'm the only one working at this government facility for some reason That's why he needs a boss You know what? Some of the nope He needs a boss he needs like A security guard played by Jesse Ventura anything
Starting point is 00:58:43 And you know what that'll just add to the body count And that's fine And that's fine I'm looking at a lot of people getting shot in the head, sure. Yeah, I want to see them. So he sets it back 60 minutes and this is the end of the movie.
Starting point is 00:58:56 It's like she's now back at her car. Right. And she's like, and Jim Belushi stops again differently. She doesn't do the fist you business. He just kind of stops for no reason, which he shouldn't in this timeline. Well, it's different anyway because like in the start of the movie, she crashes the car
Starting point is 00:59:15 through a don't mess with Texas billboard and the whole thing. breaks down. In this timeline, she knows that's common, so she just breaks. Oh, I see. And she's just kind of standing there. Yeah. And Jim Ballou, she's like, hey, sweet cakes. Mmm, that's good eating.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I'm going to go get some sweet cakes. The car trouble looks like it. And she's like, oh, no, I'm good. Talk to you later. And he's like, all right. And she goes to Rand. She's like, take care of yourself. I'm like, yeah, you're absolved of any guilt. Bye.
Starting point is 00:59:47 I'm going to go cute my wife. Goodbye. Now, is it for the end of the movie, or is it like the last time before the time jump in where M. Emmett Walsh is hit by the car? I think it's the time before the last time. It's really good. Boy, that is fucking funny. And it's the Taurus family's car, and he goes up and over the windshield into the luggage rack and his big fat bodies just flying around. It's the guy who they use like the Mrs. Dowell's, fire suit for this stunt double
Starting point is 01:00:21 Be careful with this one it's not meant for stunt word just throw it just throw it as hard as you can I can make you look like an old woman or M. Emmett Walsh same difference
Starting point is 01:00:38 all you need to do is just talk really sillily it's fine it's good so like this the end of this movie it's like shit still winds up going down, which is the problem. She waves them off. She's like, take care of yourself. Like, yeah, thanks.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Because Tony Todd was following all these people. He was. That's right. Frank Whaley picks her up and he's like, hey, hi, remember we saved it and Oh, right. Frank Willie runs the intercept at this point. She also tells, she flags down the cop and tells him that
Starting point is 01:01:10 this guy's bad business down down the street. Oh, right, because she knows the cop's going to be on his way. So we go, we cut to the gas station and we see the Rayan's lover Jesse's been shot and we see Emmett Walsh has been shot right as well
Starting point is 01:01:25 yeah and Jim Belushi is there with a gun and I guess he had seen the photos of the cheating and that's why everyone got shot Hey Jim Belushi I got something to show you you know what you don't fucking mess with
Starting point is 01:01:38 somebody else's business but maybe he's being paid to do so we don't understand how he's procured these photographs and then Harvey Fires is there. I had nothing to do of anything. Oh, look at those snapshots. And then Rayan shoots Jim Belushi like five times in the chest. Oh, gorgeous. To be, I don't know though. Like,
Starting point is 01:02:04 here's the thing is like Jim Belushi has been the asshole to end all assholes. He's killed like the same people six times. So he's killed like 30 people. Sure. Yeah. And I need a bit more than him because it's the only time he dies it's not like he dies a bunch of different times right he only dies once i need like either like a train to hit him or when he gets shot like he kind of like light starts escaping him because he fucked with the time continuum and he like time he time cop rips into nothing like yeah he like fades out of existence erased from existence yes here's what would be cool because they're in the desert who knows what's going on out there who knows he just gets shot a bunch of times and then falls off a huge cliff sure that would be awesome
Starting point is 01:02:46 I'm kind of in the idea of Keith Travis and the kid of casino him in the middle of the desert. Oh, yeah. Dominic! So what actually happens, though, is like he's also got his big spindle of money that he was supposed to give it to Roger Clinton. This money is fucking monopoly money. This money is the biggest money ever seen, yes. It's ridiculous. It doesn't even have Ben Franklin on it.
Starting point is 01:03:12 No, I think it's Judd Hirsch. It's just like a picture of like Judders from Taxi. It's so terrible. And it's like... You know what? That should replace Ben Franklin on those bills. Oh, sure. Rieger bucks.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Oh, can you break a Rieger, you would say? Oh, I can't break a Rieger. It's all about the Riegers, baby. Kaufman or less? You're on the side. 50 buck Kaufman noter under. You listen right here. I have a thousand Judds.
Starting point is 01:03:42 You take this. Yeah, come on. man, I'm just looking for a Mary Lou header so I can get a fucking beer, man. Come on. I know you're good boy, man. Dance is a dime, that's for sure.
Starting point is 01:03:59 This money is like the wrong color. Everything about this is so fucking terrible, which makes me think, actually, now that we're making fun of it, maybe this isn't a bad prop department. Maybe this is M.M. at Walsh, ripping
Starting point is 01:04:14 them on. Oh, nice. Or they just fucked with time enough that the show taxi has taken over the government. Oh, could be. I mean, the other thing is, though, I mean, this is clearly, it's a Blu-ray problem. Because we all saw this on Blu-ray. Yeah. Like, I think, like, the original cut, you probably couldn't tell quite as much, but on a Blu-ray, you really could tell. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:34 This is funny, money. Although the awesome ending to this movie would be if Jim Belushi, like, gets away. And you're like, oh, man, like, he's getting away. And he takes the money back to. Roger Clinton. He's like, see, I told you, Roger Clinton, here you go. And Roger Clinton opens it up and it's this Judd Hirsch funny money. And Roger Clinton to do like a nice button on the end of the movie just fucking blows him away, leaves the butt, like he takes Jim Belushi's car. He puts it up into the truck. He closes the truck and Roger Clinton drives
Starting point is 01:05:07 off into the sunset. I like that. And that's the end of the movie. Total Heisenberg situation right there. Roger Clinton, criminal mastermind. But what was with those microchips? What were they? And why is Frank Whaley not punished for technically dabbling in like this criminal enterprise? Yeah, he got some chips on the
Starting point is 01:05:26 black market for his time travel machine, I guess. Which already works so I don't get it. And he got, he had money from the government. Like, how are you, you need receipts for everything? It just doesn't make any sense. It really doesn't. That's where we got to audit the Fed. Hey, Roger, I just saw your movie. I got
Starting point is 01:05:42 bunch of questions. Oh, what's that? Oh, you can't answer any of them because you only had one page worth of script to read. Just let me know one thing. What's that, uh, that cherry lady that you talk to in that movie?
Starting point is 01:05:58 Can I get her a number? So then she just kind of drives off like, and everything was fine. Now I'm, I guess, maybe going to marry Frank Whale. She also mentioned that like they have to destroy the machine so this never happens again. Right. Well, that's the case with most,
Starting point is 01:06:12 time travel man but would you really Frank Whaley definitely would not he doesn't give a fuck they don't show the destruction of the machine because I think
Starting point is 01:06:19 they're leaving the door open for a retroactive too retroactively you're not going to believe this all right Daniel my friend is a time machine we're going to redo
Starting point is 01:06:32 the dinner scene again and again your breasts will not go on fire oh man retroactive doubtfire I would love it.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Absolutely. When Pierce-Brosden orders despite, don't poison Pierce-Prosden this. Please don't. Okay, and this one, you won't take a piss in front of your kids. You're right? Don't show them your dick.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Come on, Daniel. No one wants to work with dinosaur puppies. Lock the door. Just lock the door. Sit down relief. from beginning to end. Sit down, really. Just piss sitting down for a day.
Starting point is 01:07:18 All right, maybe, actually, when we go back in time this time, just pay attention to your custody agreement and follow it to the letter. Yeah, you know what? That's a great piece of advice. We're going to go back in time and don't have me build you an old lady's suit. We're going to go back in time and not be weird. Okay, Daniel? We're going to go back in time.
Starting point is 01:07:42 and show Sally Field respect He's like, we're just going to go back in time and Daniel, listen to me. You're just going to accept that you're getting divorced. We're going to go back in time far enough that you're not going to have that, you're not going to listen to House of Paine
Starting point is 01:07:58 at your goddamn son's birthday party. Realize that you've been on your last straw for a really, really long time. And then like, you know, take Sally Field out to dinner. Whatever happened to flowers, Daniel, you don't need a body suit.
Starting point is 01:08:15 You need a bouquet. Oh, that's our sponsors. We're body suits for bouquet. For each body suit sold, they give a bouquet to somebody. It's a unthought-out business plan. I'm not going to finish that joke. That's all right. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:08:34 They barely finished this movie. They didn't. That's the end of it. It's too bad. M.M. at Walsh doesn't make it until the end. No, I mean, it just seems. cruel to kill him why wouldn't you show this final thing like why is it we have to get up there i mean this movie's only 90 minutes like yeah i mean like show that standoff you didn't you didn't run out of
Starting point is 01:08:52 squibs or maybe you did i don't don't don't ask them to put more time on this thing yeah don't be doing that you go back your time and make this movie shorter yeah i'm just like a minute or two tops like because especially like all the narrative leaps that happened you're like well why is he dead what happened there like there's just like cheech marines dead you're like Where'd he come from? Better late than never. I mean, but yeah, I mean, the death of M. M. Walsh is the biggest unsolved mystery in this whole thing.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Because I can see, sure, Jesse gets murdered, fine. That's like the lover. Jim Belushi scorned by that. I guess because M. M. M. Walsh is just laughing with those pictures, dangling those pictures in his face. I told you get those pictures out of my fucking face. The way he was positioned, it might have been Crossfire.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Oh, shit. Yeah, you'll get caught up in. would anybody recommend this movie i kind of would i mean it's 90 it's a cool 90 minutes sure it's it's uh it is my favorite shitty moment in cinema history which is tarantino knockoffy kind of nonsense guaranteed ultra violent really stupid uh it's bad as sin uh but it's fun enough i liked it or enjoyed it. No. Okay. Oh, wow. You want to expand on that? Really? No. It's, I just, I mean, once you get like the concede of it, I was just kind of like bored to two. Every time like, yeah, after the first two, I was kind of like, okay, so now somebody else is going to die, but then they're going to die too.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Okay, whatever. I would really recommend it as well, as Steve said. It's fun. It's dumb. It's stupid. You got Belushi unhinged. He is a fucking maniac in this movie. He really is. Which is why I'd mostly recommend it. Also, you know what this movie reminds me of? And I actually, this is, ooh, hot take right here. I think that Retroactive is a better movie than this other
Starting point is 01:10:54 time travel movie. It's similarly structured, which is Primer. I thought you were going to say forever. Because, you know what? I can fucking watch Retroactive. And I don't need a goddamn manual to understand what the flying shit's going on in that movie and it's the same I mean I get what Chris is saying
Starting point is 01:11:12 it's tough when it's like oh fuck we're just going back to this gas station oh man you know but like listen I can watch Jim Belushi go through a fucking plate glass window a bunch of times I can watch Emin at Walsh get blown away I can watch that family burst into flames a thousand times over you can see
Starting point is 01:11:28 all those things in Salvador and it's such a better movie maybe not the time travel I don't believe Salvador has time travel I haven't seen it in a few years. But family set on fire. Jim Belushi getting beat up.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Both those things are in Salvador. And in Primer, you could see a storage unit over and over again. Yeah. So you've got a storage unit right there. Yeah. That's pretty great. You know what I liked about Primer? It's a practical use of Tri-Trap.
Starting point is 01:11:58 It's also a very practical use of storage units. It's a practical use of nap time. Storage units. They're a poor person's office. It's somehow a cheaper movie. That's retroactive from 1997 directed by Louis Mornow. If you want more, we hate movies, check out WHMpodcast.com or find us over at the good folks with headgum.
