I want to talk about a little film called Overboard.
So let's get into it.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Sadek.
Chris Cabin.
Eric Siska.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone, welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you were tuning in, as always.
This week, like I said, up top.
We're talking overboard.
It's from 1987, directed by the late great Gary Marshall.
RIPD, man.
Totally, dude.
Did he get Farina?
No.
No, you can't.
You can't have the Oscars without Gary Marshall.
I think they put a statue out in front.
You don't win an Oscar.
You win a GERN.
You drove by his tombstone as everybody was pulling into the Dolby Theater.
No, man, there's like a, there's a tomb, you know?
Oh, he's interred.
Yeah, man.
Oh, yeah.
With Fonzie's jacket.
Oh, no, that's in the Smithsonian.
I saw that in real life.
It's all glass like linen.
Oh, man.
Oh, that'd be great if he's just floating formaldehyde.
He's standing up giving a thumbs up.
They, they, uh, I almost said, well, I guess it would be mounting it, like, like taxidermy.
I will say the best.
I'd mount them.
One of the best, when I released my book on Great Straight Men,
the big, those are going to be a big chapter on Gary, God, Gary Marshall in defending
in Lost in America.
Oh, he's the casino owner?
Not giving Albert Brooks back his money.
And he's just like, we can't, we don't do that.
It's, it's Las Vegas gambling.
You do gambling.
You lose your money, you go.
It's like, it's the best.
He's awesome.
This movie isn't awesome, though.
as we also know sharing
the opinion is Tim from Massachusetts
he called in to have this to say
Hey guys, this is Tim from Massachusetts
I'd like you guys to do
an episode on 1988
overboard starring Kurt Russell going on
This is a movie my sister loved when I was a kid
And I hate it
I think it's a horror movie and I wish more people
Would see what a terrible, wretched
person Kurt Russell is in this movie
Love the show thanks bye
Yeah Tim you're right
This is like you could have pulled
You could have pulled...
Listen, listen, here's how you do it.
You could have pulled one of them there, alternate trailers where you put in some creepy music.
Oh, shit.
I'd say, pull the music, pull Ed Herman.
You got a Lars von Trere movie.
Oh, yeah.
This is Dogville.
This is almost...
This is very similar to Doggall.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Why is also the late grade, Edward Herman, Ed Herman?
Would you mow his lawn?
One summer, yes.
Why is Edward Herman being left out?
He's just as responsible.
comical and charming in a Lars von Trier movie.
You know who would have been great in that role, by the way?
Not that Edward Herman isn't fine.
Willem Defoe?
No.
No, Hector Elizondo.
No, fuck Hector Alizando.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, I don't like this.
I got to have cameos in all the movies.
It bothers me.
No, the great Stephen Tobolowski.
Tobo would have been great in this role as the husband.
Oh, I was going to say, if this was a Vontrera movie,
there would definitely be at least one to two characters played by Staling Scarsgaard.
So you got to have that.
Well, husband would definitely be still in the car.
Well, I was saying, Willem the fuck.
I thought he could also.
Oh, that's true.
Willem's got to be the Kurt Russell role, though.
Man, you can bring Kurt Russell in, man.
Oh, he's game.
We're in the Kurt Russell Renaissance right now.
Are we?
He's in that Fast and the Furious movie now.
Is that a Renaissance?
But he's in the...
He's making money a sance.
Bone Tomahawk, man.
Great movie.
I rewatched hateful late, not two days ago.
That's true.
Great movie.
Does that hold out?
Yeah, it does.
Nice.
It's got to be snowing, though.
and you got to have a little bit of whiskey.
Yep.
Yeah, you do.
That's a good call.
Well, maybe we'll get another snowstorm.
I can rewatch it.
That's the move.
Pray we don't.
Yeah, that's also true.
I'll wait till next year to rewatch that movie.
Yeah, you wait till next year.
So this movie was like a box office smash.
Big.
There are so, I mean, here's the, I feel, I hate to interrupt you again, Steve.
I'm sorry, but I feel like.
Steve, shut up.
We're in for email town.
Uh-huh.
Because I saw, I did a thing on Facebook where I was like, I'm watching
this movie and I got blindsided by a terrible Randy Newman song, which we'll address later.
But all these people were like, um, I like that movie. That's my favorite movie. That movie's
hilarious. I was like, wake up call America. Here we go. You know, there's a lot of sociopaths
in the United States of America.
Then isolate that fucking clip. I will say that it's obviously it's okay to like a movie.
Sure.
Because there's people that it's probably their first episode.
Possible. You think someone right now, this is the first episode of We Hate Movies
watching overboard. It's my first step. Someone was on
the overboards
searching around. Oh, what a low point for
Reddit. There was a little
post of like, who's talking overboard this week? And then this
fat guy podcast showed up.
You know, a lot of people like this movie.
And, you know, it's definitely creepy.
There's a weird, dark,
villainous undercurrent. I'll give you that.
Yeah. I feel like the chemistry
of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn
make the movie work. It's unmistak
Goldie Hawn, there's no better career you could have.
No, right?
Nope.
She's won an Oscar.
She, like, killed TV on laughing.
She was a box office sensation for, like, 30 years.
Totally.
She could open, I don't even think there's a, there's a parallel anymore.
Like, who would, who's the actress now that's Goldie Hawn?
Comical.
Nobody.
Nobody.
No.
Not, there's, there's no.
They broke the mold when they made her.
They did.
I don't know.
They did know.
She's great.
It's unfortunate, though.
Then you think about titles like the Bangor Sisters.
Oh, there's a lot of shit.
There's just dress.
Well, she's got, let me tell you what looks terrible.
That snatched.
Yeah, she's got that movie with Amy Schumer coming out, snatched.
Oh, right.
It looks doggone terrible.
It's her playing Amy Schumer's mother and then they get kidnapped.
Joan Cusack's around.
Well, yeah.
Joan Cusack?
Yeah.
I like that.
I like Joan Cusack.
Yeah, no, but this movie looks like a bag.
of turds.
It does not look good.
Well, you know.
Yeah.
You can't win them all.
But this era, this 1987, Goldie Hawn.
Yeah, this is the gold.
The height of Hawn.
80s into early 90s.
Yeah, it was a renaissance.
I feel like she didn't even need to buy Coke.
People just gave it to her.
Like, hey, Goldie Hawn.
You did great.
Coke?
Yeah, Coke.
Oh, I was hoping you said Coke.
For a second, I thought you said coat.
No.
She doesn't even have to buy coat.
For a second, for a second, I thought you said Pepsi.
People keep giving her Coke.
Look, in the 80s, we did Coke.
It's back now, but back then it was where it was at.
I don't think it ever went away.
There's a lot of young listeners.
A lot of people are being reared on this show right now.
That's fair.
Let's just say, you know, don't do cocaine.
From the ground, pound it down, man.
So we start on a one of many montages in this.
So many montages.
This one's like, this is like living Oregon.
You know what I mean?
It's a Pacific Northwest.
We're cut in fair.
We're, I don't know, chopping trees down, wearing flannel.
Well, I love it.
It looked beautiful.
It does.
I'm excited to explore the Pacific Northwest.
And this town is called Elk Cove, which combines my two favorite things, wild animals, and beautiful coves where water is.
That's great.
Do you know if it's a real town?
No.
I don't believe so.
No, you don't know or no, it's not a real town.
I don't know.
But did you notice there's one section when they're doing the, like, the TV broadcast of the news guy?
Oh, yeah.
the guy on the news accidentally says elk grove
and then like the rest of the scenes like
Kurt Russell I think rummaging around this like diner or whatever
and he's just like and it addresses the guy the actor addresses
he's like you know I when I said Elk Grove you know I meant Alcove of course
man if this was the real world that would make one of those YouTube like
newscaster blunder reels can I read you an entire Wikipedia page
Yes please Elk Cove Oregon nice Elkove is a meadow in Mount
In the Mount Hood Wilderness on the north side of Mount Hood in the U.S. United States of
State of Oregon.
It is a popular backpacking area along the Timberland Trail in popular culture.
Location of the movie Overboard Film starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
End of Wikipedia.
The legends are true.
How about that?
That's awesome.
We're going.
And then there's a pilgrimage all over this movie.
All overboard this movie.
Yes.
We're going to go there, Chris.
We're going to dump our wives and owner.
All of Oingo Boingo covering the deliverance soundtrack.
Dude, here's what it is.
I'm calling this Hillbilly New Wave.
Sure.
Because it's like, it's like, it's, it's kind of like an 80s new wavy synth thing.
And then someone is just picking a banjo.
What the fuck?
It's terrible and awesome at the same time.
You're at a Coke party with Steve Martin in the 80s.
Oh, guarantee.
And then there's a slide guitar going to at the same time.
it's a lot man it's a it's a lot to take in this movie doesn't let up there's this it's this one
song when she when she gets into like being kurt russell's uh a prisoner there yeah she like
really starts getting into it getting things done you hear the song and then later you see that
band perform this song what a stank ass greasy looking fart rock band if i ever saw one it's well
it's kind of like fart house blues a little bit it is fart house blues big time and you are just you
You can smell these guys.
He's at a Michael Cain movie.
We all got the Fathouse Blues.
He did the Cider House rules, and now he's in the Fart House Blues.
My career's gone down the train, doing Fart House Blues.
All right.
Now, I got guests, and my wife put me in the Fart House, and now I have the Fart House blues.
It's me and the dog.
Good night, babes of Elk Cove.
Damn it.
Oh, don't I beat you, too?
Oh, I'm sorry.
A steam rolled right over you.
It's quite all right.
Like the logging industry in this movie.
So this movie starts, Kurt Russell is just like a guy, a carpenter.
He's a Kurt Russell.
I mean, this is the prime Kurt Russell character.
It's manual labor.
You're sweating like a pig.
You're constantly drinking bad beer, feed up all the time.
The boxes are checked.
That's fucking great.
Lying all over.
You know, you know what box is checked?
He doesn't wear sleeves for the first 23 minutes of this movie.
I clocked it.
I clocked it.
And why should he?
The first time he wears sleeves is to trick someone to thinking he's Goldie Hawn's husband.
Oh, that's right.
When he has to go to the police station or like some sentimental ward, he's like better dress up.
Yeah, this grift.
Put my fancy dodds on.
His grifted coat.
And that long sleeve shirt is of course red and black checked flannel.
What else would it be?
His wardrobe is great in this.
But also, since we're talking about him, I've got a big question about his past.
Hang up on him.
Wait, Kurt Russell's past or the characters passed?
Oh, the characters.
Okay.
He's a widower.
He's a widower.
He's got four kids.
Yes, that is what I want to know.
This man is vile enough to abduct women from a psych ward.
Yeah.
How did that first wife?
Oh, she died a drunken ATV accident, guaranteed.
Yeah, that's the fucking cover story.
He does not shed one tear for this wife.
She comes up a couple times and you do need this.
It's only been three years.
In this movie, you need.
that and then Nancy
You don't
But nobody wants to put a photo on a fucking dresser somewhere
At what point can he talk about dead Nancy?
Yeah I mean
Or like two to what's his face
Our friend from Wayne's world
Oh that guy who's also the I think he's like the super on friends
Dude he gathers around with his kids
You know
Let's talk about your dead mother
Well those kids need to talk about dead mothers
It's your classic 1980s
Gaggle of monster children
That all talk at the same time
Thank you, thank you very much, Stephen Spielberg.
Come on, come on, we all lived it, dude.
That's also true.
I knew these kids.
Don't pretend. Don't pretend this is fake.
I was one of these monsters.
Exactly.
I've met the Sadat clan, my God, in heaven.
Yeah, you guys were all spitting in the yard.
Doing all sorts of shit.
It actually, you want to talk about checked off boxes.
You have all of them for this cadre of monsters because it's weird twins, a creepy one that's defective and a fat one.
There it is.
Boxes checked.
And one's an inventor.
One's a little inventor.
Obviously, we need your little inventor.
Oh, he's making little like doodads and gadgets and what.
Rube Goldberg's here and there.
Oh, yeah.
Is that the kid from Pet Cemetery, too?
Yes, Jared Rushin, who's in everything.
He owned the 80s.
Yeah, and all these.
I don't know if he owned the 80s.
He's ever invited to the Viper Room?
He was an 80s time share, at least.
All these other kids owed the 80s.
Wait, which kid was he in Pet Cemetery, too?
The fat friend?
No, he's the bad guy that could kill.
It's the tire to the face.
Oh, I thought he looked familiar.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay.
And he's in a honey I shook the kids.
I mean, that's a career.
Oh, he's the little Russ.
Yeah, the one who is closest to the aunt.
Does anyone know currently right now which Best Buy he's working at?
86th Street.
Oh, is he really?
No, no, he's working.
City boy.
He's working the one in Maryland that was implicated in the first season of cereal.
Oh, does he know what?
happen to that telephone? I don't, no one does.
No one. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, is off that time. He's blowing smoke in the alley.
So, Kurt Russell is a carpenter. He gets hired by Goldie Hawn, her, she is married to
Edward Herman. Roddy McDowell, uh, is their butler? Yeah. Is the executive producer of this
movie? It's like, I'll give you money for it. But also, I get to play a weird, a fet, uh,
Butler. Well, that's the thing is he sold his life.
if rights to Gary Marshall to make this movie.
Wait, do you think, what really?
Wow, you think Roddy McDowell perpetrated such a scam?
I think it's possible.
He was loaded up with that ape money.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
He didn't need to do shit.
Do you think anyone's life has been as completed or more completed by fucking people in
ape suits than Roddy McDowell?
No, not at all.
Like, he was the apesuit guy.
And honestly, he's Cornelius, right?
He's Cornelius.
He's fucking great.
He's not in all of those sequels.
I think he is.
Does he make all of them?
I think he's a through line.
I'll tell you what, when the last Apes movie came out, which, by the way, I saw the trailer for the new one,
and Woody Harrelson's got a line in there where I laughed my tits off in that theater.
This will be a planet of apes.
And I just went, gah, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, I laughed too, but I'm like, yeah, tick it for one, please.
Ticket for one, please.
Ticket for one, indeed.
Oh, yeah.
Wife's staying home.
of this one.
Oh,
yeah.
She'll come.
She'll come or she'll go overboard.
No,
when that second,
so was it,
was it rise then?
Yeah,
it was a rise into dawn.
Yeah.
Which one's the second one?
Dawn.
Dawn.
Dawn of the planet.
During that second one,
I rewatched all
the OG
APE flicks.
I got to tell you,
man, that's a solid
franchise.
It is.
It's weird as fuck.
It gets good.
They're good.
Ricardo Montelbaum.
as a circus owner.
Yeah.
Oh,
yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Dude.
Go ape.
I think I got a summer project coming on.
Dude,
I went ape shit because I was doing that.
I had the TV show.
I was doing the cartoon.
I had ape hysteria.
No one else did.
No, no.
No, no.
I had apisteria.
Actually, when I was living in Astoria,
and I had a surly plumber come over to fix my bathtub.
He looked like Cornelius?
He did, but I was always.
also watching that movie doing the entire time he was there.
I was like, okay, yeah, I'm just going to watch this Planet of the Apes movie while you do this one.
I was going to say, did he bathe his ape while he fixed it?
So speaking of bathing apes, Kurt Russell's all sweaty in this movie.
So he's hired to come on this yacht.
The Immaculata.
Owned by Edward Herman, R-I-D.
I feel like they're dodging taxes or something because he does not want to be on dry land anymore.
He does not.
That's a great point.
International waters for that dude, man.
He's doing all sorts of shit.
But this is clearly hiding out, though, because, I mean, no offense to the great 400 people that live in El Cove.
Did you get a population on that Wikipedia?
That's what I was really curious about.
He didn't mention it.
I guess it's not on there.
It's a bit of a small Wikipedia.
I bet it's like a thousand.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure it's a cool pristine town.
Why on earth would these rich people dock there?
If not, for dodging something.
Maybe it's murder, racketeering, cocaine.
I mean, something.
But also, the thing is, like, why don't they, I guess,
they're in El Cove, but, like, rich people hire, there are rich carpenters you go to.
You know what I mean?
Rich carpenters.
Oh, can go, please.
No, like, Jesus.
No, Jesus was not rich.
He was famously poor.
He's probably, Jesus is the most fucking famous poor person of all time.
What are you talking about?
Well, I mean, by now I think he's amassed a fortune.
Dude, Jesus is, you know what he has.
He's not going to see a fucking dime from it, though.
Jesus is so poor.
I would have taken his Obama care.
airway.
Because fuck that guy.
Get a job.
That's true.
Get a fucking job.
It's very true.
But he,
high-end carpenters is what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
A carpenter for the rich.
They know how to deal with the rich.
The most luxurious of carpets.
Yeah.
Well, Donald Trump,
he's not letting fucking Kurt Russell in his fucking stupid gold house.
I don't know.
Kurt Russell's kind of the kind of carpenter that's easier to rip off and not pay.
Yeah.
I think he would really, really enjoy what he does here.
Yeah.
Yes.
Exactly.
Because Donald Trump has.
done this to contractors.
So she,
and to women.
She,
yes.
She,
she hires him.
She's like,
oh,
I need a closet on my
boat and like,
you know,
Kurt Russell's like,
closet on a boat.
Get out of here.
You know,
like one of those,
that's kind of the
movie we're doing here,
you know,
like,
yeah,
he is kind of dumbfounded
by the situation.
We're rolling our eyes
at indoor plumbing,
you know,
that kind of a deal.
It is charming as fuck.
I was watching
Kurt Russell
in this movie
and I'm like,
wait,
why am I unbuttoning my shirt?
watching a movie. He is amazing in this movie. He's really great. But I'll tell you what's, like, what they're doing here with Goldie Hawn and Edward Herman's characters, these are like cartoon rich people.
Yeah. Like at one point, Roddy McDowell comes out to like spoon feed her caviar and there's this whole gag about like, caviar has got to be stiff and it's got to pop and you're, it's stiff and round and explode in your mouth. And Kurt Russell's like, somebody talking about sucking dicks. I work at a bowling alley too.
let me just keep making a closet on a boat closet on a boat you tell me rich lady but so uh he does and
he does a fantastic job he makes it out of oak and of course i mean and this is a bit on kurt russell
i think yeah a little bit because he makes it out of oak and goldie hall's like oh my god you idiot
it should have been made out of cedar now granted she she as the customer probably should have been
like hey man make me a cedar closet but you know you're really
You order her materials.
You got to be like, hey, lady, just want you to sign off real quick.
You don't have to hold her by the hand, but just like, this is going to be this material.
Yeah, this is why you get the rich person carpenter.
Exactly.
He does that all the time.
Well, because I feel like Kurt Russell's the kind of carpenter in this movie.
He's just stealing scraps from a bone yard.
It's like whatever he could find to make this.
Whatever coffin he can break down.
She's walking around in a swimsuit that makes her look like Gaddafi.
And like, no, no, it doesn't make her look like Gaddafi.
It makes her look like one of Gaddafi's wife.
Well, no, she has the full shoulder pads in general.
Oh, that part.
I thought you were talking about the thong bottom.
And I was like, show me a picture of Moward Gaddafi and that.
I'll give you a fucking side.
I could show you a fucking video where it looks like he's wearing a thong is when they murder him in the street.
Don't they shove shit up his ass?
Yeah, they shoved a bunch of shit up his ass.
Wow.
Yeah.
Now, that happens, Steve.
That's how dictators fall.
Oh, speaking of that, and you were saying cartoon rich people earlier and Gaddafi being murdered in the street reminded me of this.
this could have used a cartoon intro
Yes
Yes
A cartoon intro
Gaddafi being murdered in the street
Yeah like it's like
They're predicting the future
Yeah yeah
Well then you would
But like you know like
Falling off a boat lady
Bicked up by a man
Oh yeah well like and I could see
Because it's a cartoon thing
Right she falls off the boat
She's in the water
Then a bunch of cartoon fish
Like bring it back up to the surface
There's a bunch of tugboat noises
Oh sure
She's in the house
There's like a whirlwind
of cleaning or something.
Little birdies around her head to indicate the amnesia.
We cut to a cartoon shot of a cartoon tombstone, and it's Kurt Russell's cartoon dead wife.
And it's him not visiting it.
And that's half of the intro.
Yeah.
Well, she's clearly in a fucking Folgers Crystall's Cup, like Donnie from Big Lipowski.
Come on.
So she refuses to pay him.
Refuses.
She's like, you know, you build us out of cedar.
You idiot.
Everybody knows you build it out of oak or whatever.
However the fucking thing works out.
Which it's like, first of all, it's not everybody knows.
Just say, I wanted.
Yes, that's it.
Clearly not everybody knows because if everybody knew,
fucking Kurt Russell would have done it right in the first point.
It's a shoe closet to Kurt Russell's credit.
You know, the theater's more of a garment thing, right?
Well, she's something about moths.
And he's like, hey, lady, there's not a lot of moths in the Pacific Northwest.
I don't know if that's true.
I don't think that's true.
I've only been out there one time.
Did not see a moth, but that doesn't mean they're not out there.
Checks at them.
You see a moth man?
I saw a couple of moth men.
I made some prophecies about it.
You stayed off them bridges, though, right?
I stayed right off them bridges.
I would just avoid Richard Gear wholesale.
I kind of would do that anyway.
We're actually going to Bridgetown.
I think Portland, right?
I think they have a lot of bridges.
Oh, well, checks out.
That's what I heard.
What were you saying, Steve?
Sorry.
No, so basically this is the inciting incident of the movie era.
Of course.
wherein she basically
She seizes the means of production
And tosses her to his tools off the boat
She doesn't do it
He curses her out
Kind of verbally assaults her a little bit
You know, it's, listen
It's a
therapeutic telling off
Yeah, but his finger's getting real close
To her throat, that's what's happening
He's not hitting her though
Yeah, okay
No, dude, dude, Steve
Objection, Your Honor,
Objection, Your Honor,
He's not hitting her, though.
Yeah, he let her off with a warning.
Yeah, I guess.
I can't see that as a bumper sticker now.
Yeah, I guess.
You know what, Eric?
I'll take your word for it.
No, no.
What's shitty, though, is like, it's over a matter of $600, which you think Goldie Hawn is so rich in this movie.
She would just, like, you know, pull that out of her toilet.
Ed Herman lines his underwear with that much money.
Stop with the Ed Herman.
You didn't know the man.
The casualness.
Edwardian Herman.
Edwardian.
So he goes home, he storms off.
I know, she knocks him overboard first, right?
That's how this works.
That's the first overboarding, yes.
One of three overboards in a movie.
So she had it coming.
Not enough overboards in this movie.
So he goes overboard.
He meets up with his buddy from Wayne's World.
What's this guy's name, Mike something?
Mike Haggerty.
Mike Haggerty.
Yeah, that sounds right.
He had, I mean, let me tell you, Wayne's World is one of the funniest movies of all time.
Sure.
But his monelior.
in there about the pinks like getting fired that whole thing is so god damn fucking funny i must think
about that at least seriously now like once a month i mean wayne's world is like 25 years old this
year i must think about it at least once a month to just laugh about it it sounds about right yeah
him and you know another unsung performance in that movie is fucking ed o'neill oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I would love to hang out
to Stan McKita's donuts, by the way.
Sorry.
Putting that out there.
If it exists.
Yeah, I don't know if it's real or not.
It looked kind of real.
I've never been to...
It's called a set.
I was on Star Wars movie.
I'm the spaceship kind of looks real.
I don't know.
I'm saying.
I think that Boba Fit might be real.
Okay, now you got me.
I think he's real.
I want to believe.
He goes over.
board and she fucking throws his
tools in the water. This is this man's
livelihood. That's true. That is insane.
You know, the fact you're not paying him $600
that you owe him.
Which is I did the inflation. It's like $9
million. Oh, yeah.
That's how that we're into 1987.
Checks out. But like tools are
expensive. Yes. And that's
the livelihood, like you said. Don't you have
goons? Like, really. Like, this
is a perfect time to call your goon
to escort him off the premises. What are he going to get
Roddy McDowell to deal with it?
Well, no, this, this should be Roddy McDowell's job, right?
Like, she, she's chucking people?
No, but, but fraternizing with the working.
The house.
He pays him anyway.
Like, she, she curses him out, like, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then, like, he has an understanding where it's like, here's $600.
Yeah, I'm terribly sorry.
Because she's not missing it.
Yeah, nicked it from the petty cash.
Right, right.
But then he might not feel so vengeful.
And we wouldn't get what the greatness that is about to happen.
The comic gold.
Right.
Well, it's a, you know, it's a nice revenge plot that veers into a disturbing territory.
In Bander's a bit, we learn that his wife is dead.
We learn that he is four rotten children.
We learn that he lives in fucking squalor.
It's at a fucking hoarder's home.
It's a fixer-upper.
It's squalor.
So, um, uh, we just, we live with Kurt Russell a little bit.
We meet his rotten children.
Um, the rotten children are like trying to pull a Freddie Lounds on the, the principal of the school.
glue her to a chair naked and set her on fire and roll her down the street in the parking lot.
Is that what you're saying?
Is that what you're going to get?
She comes out to Kurt Russell and she's like, they wrapped me in toilet paper and then they were putting gasoline on me.
Which is amazing that it escalated to pouring gasoline on a human being.
And Kurt Russell, God bless him, is just so cavalier and casual.
He's like, oh, they're just going through a little bit of a phase.
You know what he is?
He's private fantastic.
What is private thing?
Captain fantastic. He's private
fantastic. He's the shitty
version of Vigo Mortensen's
hippie-dippy dad out in the
boons not doing nothing. That's what it should
have been, dude. They're living in fucking tents
in the trees and shit. Oh,
fuck. Separatists. Yeah, totally.
Separatists.
One of these kids, it's the opening
moments of overboard.
And maybe it's even in the cartoon intro,
one of these kids butchers a deer
with his bare hands. Well, he is
grooming a fucking animal.
factory here, especially
We'll get to it.
So he's, so, um, we live with him for a bit.
We live with him?
Yeah, a little bit.
I would love to live with him.
Just putting out that.
Can you imagine Rumen with Khrumann with Russell?
Rumen with Russell?
Dude, if anyone knows Kurt Russell and like, if, it would suck.
Because the fucking socks gonna be on the door all the time.
I don't give a shit.
And I can't fucking sleep.
They have been, they have been constantly fucking for 40 years.
I would pay for the privilege to hear Kurt Russell.
Nut.
That was my question about them, by the way.
Was this their first movie together?
No, this is the last of three movies.
Of three movies?
Swing shift in like 1984.
Oh, Swing shift, of course.
Never saw it.
That's the demi movie, right?
Is that swing shift?
I don't know.
This is, I think it's like set around World War deuce.
I don't know.
That's the big one, as in we took shits.
What's the other one?
The Great War
Oh
What's the other movie?
Well, you see, there was some aggression in old Europe at the time.
I don't know.
This Archduke was, uh...
Actually, yes.
He was not asking for it, Chris.
It was what I was thinking of.
It is a demi movie that he's disowned because it was a studio botched job.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's it called?
Swing shift.
But the other one we do not know.
We don't know.
We'll figure it out.
At some point, it's not protocol.
I know that.
Oh, man.
Protocol.
That might be a stay too.
You could help solve a mystery.
Do you have access to the internet?
Do you have 38 seconds to figure this out?
Because we don't.
So basically she's on a boat.
She falls off the boat because she wants to go to sleep with one of her diamonds.
Her diamond is like dangling somewhere dangling.
She don't even know it.
I guess her wedding, wedding, I mean wedding ring or some such.
And she falls over and due to do.
do the shock and everything.
She washes the shore and has temporary amnesia.
And she's at the psychiatric hospital
because a big news story. It's like, do you know this woman?
Oh, a young girl fell off a boat, washed up on the shores of Elko of Oregon.
Here is a subpar reenactment.
She's a real piece of work.
Would you like to pretend to be her husband?
Because we got nothing.
If so, come and claim her.
Well, because this news broadcast goes on for a real long.
Like, it's, it's a break.
I guess it's like the El Cove local news.
They break into Captain who gives this shit and they just like go with this woman for 40 minutes and like they're just living with it.
And Kurt Russell sees it.
He's like, and immediately it's not even a thing where like he struggles with it or like a buddy like says he should do it.
He just, no, he knows immediately to do it, which is to go to the hospital and claim to be her husband.
This whole thing is, like, this is going to be a classic prank.
It turns into a sexy prank.
It does.
Eventually it does become a sexy.
But first, you got to remember, Sir Edward Herman, not Ed.
Thank you.
He, like, goes to the hospital, sees her, and they're like, yeah, that's not my wife.
Well, she's being, like, nasty, and he's like, why do I need this nonsense?
Makes no fucking sense.
Well, he's complicit in.
this plus.
Yes.
Absolutely.
He's a cog in it.
But the weird.
And so he walks away and then Kurt Russell shows up.
He does finally don't sleeves.
And he shows up with absolutely no identification.
I don't even know if he shows, because it's a cop and a doctor.
And he's like, that's my wife.
And they're like, you sure?
And he's like, yeah, I'm sure.
Sure.
I saw her ass once in that event.
He does this whole, this whole thing like trying to jog her memory.
It's just like the most insane shit.
He's like, you were in the Navy.
Well, this was my question about that.
Is he bringing in stuff from his dead wife's life?
No.
No.
You don't think so?
That's a fucking fantastical crazy life that he's laying out.
What?
That she was in the Navy?
Who cares?
That's a thing.
Navy.
That she's from Goober, Idaho, which is a nuclear dump of attack.
That could all check out, though.
And then they met at a donut shop or some shit.
Yeah, he's also, like, that's the thing.
It's like, you know, and I hate this term because it's overused the thing.
in the year 2017, but gaslighting
this lady into fucking madness.
But he's doing
it so where like she's a piece of
shit and everything. Yeah, you were the name of you were kicked
up because you're stupid. You were from a fucking
dump and you got fired from your donut
shop. Jerks. And she's
like, oh, I guess I'm an awful person.
Awesome. And then the way that he gets
the doctors and stuff to release
her to him is the birth mark that he
saw when he was. Oh, right.
The best thing is like, they're like, they're about
to give him her to him
And this is the world we're living in.
And she's like, well, doesn't he need identification?
How do you know who this guy is?
And the doctor is like, yeah, I guess she's right.
And he goes to Kurt Russell.
He's like, you know, I really want to help you out here, man.
But ladies got a point.
What are you talking about?
There are IDs, a wedding certificate, a picture of the two of them together.
Any of this would be totally cool.
This serial killer could have seen her ass in another situation.
Exactly.
you put a picture of a pretty lady on
on the TV and some fucking creep comes to claim her
Listen listen listen listen just to quell the looney tune
Why don't you give me a piece of mail
She's thinking of a number between one and ten
If you guess it you get this bride
It's also not just any lunatic
I mean this is like the hunk of the century
Walked into your office you know
It's a Ted Bundy type is what it is
A handsome lunatic
Wait, Ted Bundy was hot?
Yeah, he was famously handsome man.
That's fucking great.
You haven't seen that courtroom footage?
No.
That's fuckable footage.
No, do you jerk off to that, Steve?
Absolutely.
It's like if John Hamm was a murderer.
Oh, no way.
That's actually, holy shit.
He's going to do.
We're going to have to fucking fast forward it a little bit because, like, you know, fast track it rather, because he's getting kind of up there.
Yeah.
But the ham man could play Ted Bundy in a movie.
That's true.
You dye his hair brown, give him little nerd glasses.
He might actually be killing women.
Also, John Hamm?
Yeah.
Oh, right now?
Oh, yes.
Who would look?
Exactly.
And speaking of this scene, great gag in the background is this dude just eating checkers.
Oh, yeah.
This mental case playing checkers with himself and just eating checkers.
What I love, there's a great detail about it is like, he eats one and you're like,
is that dude eating checkers?
Yeah, okay.
and then like the the attendant looks over and sees him do it and the extra playing this like attendant is like yep checks out he's good continue yeah that's been the rules she gets her right he brings her home and she's really against it she's like really uncomfortable by the whole thing and like she doesn't she doesn't want to go with this guy she when he brings her out of the mental ward or the hospital or whatever it is she literally has a
rope tied around her waist and he's dragging her like she's a fucking cow it's it's great like
also like even if he is her husband if she's like refusing to go with him she doesn't have he doesn't
have legal yeah it's like oh so you're saying the taxpayer should take on this expense i think so in
this one instance we should make an exception for a woman that might not want to go home with her
abusive husband or whatever is going on then what happens when every woman wants to do
Yeah, that's true.
And you have, like, women's shelters, and then it's coming out of my dime.
Yeah, exactly.
It was with your pie in the sky ideas.
It's crazy.
So, yeah, he, like, ties her up and, like, puts her in the back of his Dodge pickup truck, and they drive.
And the kid, this is where, like, you're raising serial killers at this point because he, he had, off screen has gone to his, he's gone to his kids and been like, hey, guys, guess what?
We're going to pull a fucking scam on this originally.
because she ripped your dad off.
So you're all going to pretend to be her children
and you have to go, you have to go buy
like womanly clothes and scatter
them around the house so it looks like she lives
here and all this madness.
See, this starts out as an honest
grift, okay? Because she
cost him
like $600, so he's going to recoup
that in like a babysitting fee.
You know, totally boilerplate,
normal stuff. Just guy stuff.
He works out where he's like,
so I figure out.
She'll be paid off in, I don't know, like a month.
He's like $25 bucks a day.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
I guess he's just doing some division.
I don't think he's thinking beyond that, though.
But also, that's the thing is what are you going to do?
What is his end game here?
You have to kill her, right?
Yeah.
You can't just set her loose, man.
She's going to tell the fuzz.
It's just, it's too deep at this point.
Your children are implicated.
Everyone's going up the river.
Well, that's probably, I mean, I believe that's probably part of the whole thing.
he's getting ready for the kids to kill her.
So he doesn't have to get any blood on his hands.
It's a real frailty situation.
Come on, Grandpa, you were always the best with the sledge.
By the way, it's been bothering me.
So sorry, I've been a little checked out as I do some internet research here.
Overboard in 87, swing shift in 84, and then technically, the only other thing was a movie called the one and only genuine original family band from 1968.
Kurt Russell has a role in it.
Goldie Hawn is credited as...
like giggly girl or something.
Oh, I know.
So the two big ones.
All right.
Swing shift and overboard.
Yeah.
So this is the last one.
Yeah, this is.
The end of the trilogy.
They never worked together together together.
That's all right.
Well, they work together.
Yeah, no, I said it earlier.
It turns out they've been fucking constantly for four decades.
Yeah, good for that.
I love it.
Goldie Hawn is a lucky lady.
Oh, no, that's a sex.
what you want to be a part of, right? Come on.
Yeah, that's actually true.
Yeah, everybody makes out well on that deal.
Just call me condiment.
Oh, here comes the mustard.
Whoa, what? A mayo now?
A sexy memoir by Eric Siska.
Uh-oh, condiment's going to do his finishing move on him.
Oh, wait, I'm arrested. Weird.
So, yeah, like, she's brought into the situation, and it's just a lot of, like,
creepy ass like oh don't you remember you always did this and you were doing this and you like
to do this yeah so all these chores he's like you loved like cleaning the shit out of the gutter
you loved what you and he's also like you you never slept in the bed you slept on the couch
because you because of your back also one of his big things is like well it never bothered you
before yeah yeah there's a lot of that because it's a weird like she still has at the start
of the the the grift here uh uh uh the sex
capades, if you will, although there's not really much sex capades until the end of the movie.
When they movie fall in love, quote unquote.
When it gets real gross.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But this is all like, she doesn't remember who she is, but she still has that, like, the attitude of the spoiled rich person.
So she's coming in and she was like, it doesn't feel like I would live in an outhouse.
Because they have to continuously justify the fact of what this crazy shit he's doing to her.
So she still has to be kind of a pain in the ass.
That's the weird line that the movie walks is like,
She's still doing that.
And then he's doing things like not immediately sleeping with her.
Yeah. He's like a night.
Yeah, no, no.
I'm not saying he is, but I'm just saying the movie's like, hey, this all checks out, man.
You know what?
It ain't cool, but it also ain't illegal.
The Leopold and Loeb Handbook.
Well, she has a great line here when she sees the house.
She goes, we live here willingly.
She is great in this movie.
She's so fucking funny in this movie.
One of the things to convince her that.
this is her life, is he goes down to Mike Haggerty to do some Photoshop, some early, early edition
Photoshop.
I don't even know how this even works.
You tell me Mike Hagherty, what equipment you've got in your trailer.
It's such a bullshit thing because this stems from her being like, hey, Kurt Russell, why aren't
there any photographs of us, like, or me?
Oh, what was I saying?
He goes into Mike Hagerty in the middle of the night because she's like, yeah, where's all these pictures?
Oh, right.
Where those pictures I was supposed to see.
Well, that, yeah, that stems from her being, like, where are the photos of me?
So he takes a packet of pictures, and he goes to Mike Haggerty's window, and he's, like, in there with some lady, you know, which is, like, how dare you interrupt Mike Haggerty for this?
He's been working this woman down for five years.
And he's like, hey, remember that time in high school?
You made us fake IDs?
Do it again.
I was like, what are you talking about?
That was 20 years ago.
You know what I mean?
I'm not up to date.
Am I a forger?
Hey, guess what?
Am I a forger?
If your idea of Photoshop is a guy on a trailer,
you just might live in Elkopf.
If you convince a rich woman that she's your wife after she gets temporary amnesia,
you just might be in a movie that doesn't age well.
Speaking of it not aging well,
they are remaking this movie, unfortunately, well.
With Anna Ferris and Eugenio Diaz, I believe the gentleman was named.
Who's that dude?
I'm sorry, Eugenio Durbez.
Who's that dude?
He had some, like, something not, like, battery.
It's not batteries not included, but something like that.
What?
He was in batteries not included?
Are you fucking joking me?
I'm saying the title of the movie is something like battery's not.
It was a huge crossover hit.
Was he tracing Hugh Crone?
Hume Cronin?
Steve, can you please?
I'm full in it.
So, A, I will say making the perpetrator in this instance
Latin American doesn't help anything for the aging of the film.
Well, she'll fall in love with him.
But the other thing is you're missing out.
Make this a drama thriller.
You cast Anne Hathaway in the Goldie Hawn roll.
But, uh-oh, this is what solidifies it.
You've already made it worse.
Go on.
Mike Shannon as Kurt Russell.
Now this movie is what it's supposed to be.
Mike Shannon, do you mow his lawn?
Hey, you're my wife now.
You've always been my wife.
You better watch my children who are all so dead.
Yeah, we always do this.
You always like doing this.
You used to always like when I would threaten to break your neck like a wig.
It never bothered people before.
They retitled the movie because it's like a cool, like artsy movie.
You always do this?
How did I screw it up?
No, Chris Kavanaugh, he was on the right track.
The dude's name is Eugenio Durbez.
And he played one of the little UFOs and batteries not included.
No, I know the movie that Chris is talking about.
It's been sitting on HBO Go for no one to watch.
It's called Instructions Not Included.
Oh.
Is what it is.
Yeah, so who...
Hey, Ann Hathaway, you're a rich lady.
Why don't you go clean my house?
You're my wife now.
do I look like I'm kidding
exactly
this isn't a joke
it's him at a kitchen table
and she's like she's trying to make it a comedy
and he's not letting her
hey honey shut up
first of all remember these little words
honey till death do us part
you don't want to part do you
would you like to part
oh oh it's your birthday today
Let's go off for your birthday
Today
Let's go
Let's go in a drink
You know
Being tied up
Never used to bother you
I go to work
From 830 to 930 at night
And you were tied up
For that time
Well yeah
I mean because this is room
I mean this movie is essentially
A fun room
Yeah
Oh I like fun rooms
No no no
Room the movie
Oh
Tommy was so
Classic
No Eric
It's just
Just like the room.
The Academy Award-winning film.
You never used to bother you to play catch.
Well, you know, Scoop McInery tried to make that situation fun.
He did his best.
If Gary Marshall directed it in that movie, it'll be a real fucking knee-slapper, I guess.
Oh, yeah.
There'll be Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
Here's what all you have to do, you have room.
It's the same movie.
But you have it surprisingly end with a random.
Andy Newman tune, and everybody's laughing.
You're tearing me apart, Lisa.
A chipp, a chipp, a chipp, a chipp, a chipp, a chip, a chipp.
Oh, man, Michael Shannon.
Why did they cast James Franco?
I like this idea better.
I know.
Did you see that thing out of South by that James Franco was like,
it's kind of perfect because I think I am kind of like,
Tommy Weizzo.
Oh, he makes terrible movies?
Yeah.
That's accurate.
Because, no, I haven't watched all of his, like, Faulkner movies.
Faulkner ones are not good.
I heard they're all trash.
His Cornick McCarthy one is not good.
Oh, the one where you see a human being actually taking a shit.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
Jeez, I could do that.
Been a long time.
Probably since early Lars von Trier.
Yeah, that movie fucking stunk.
What was it called?
Is that the idiots?
No.
No, I was talking about the James Franco movie.
Oh, a child of God.
Yeah.
Something like that.
That movie was not good.
It's a rotten turd of a movie.
A lot of necrophilia in that movie.
It used to never bother you before.
Hey, hey, it's okay.
This is a comedy.
Hey, you always should see my lighthearted do comedy overboard.
I thought you liked being rolled up in the carpet.
That's my dead wife.
We sleep with her, too.
You know, it's a thing where I think that I'm happy to take you out for dinner for your birthday,
but I'm going to pick the restaurant.
You think we're going to Italian.
You're very wrong.
I can't believe the remake and overboard.
So she, he put her...
Two directors, by the way.
Great sign.
He puts her into servitude really quickly.
He's like, oh, and you always loved having this...
He goes off to work.
He's like, you always love to having this chore list.
And it's like, do all my fucking housework.
And as he goes off to work, he's saying, he'll do our housework.
She lives there, too.
She does not, Eric.
It's a con.
It's a long con.
You know, you also make messes in the house.
You know, that was your spaghetti plate you didn't clean up.
Asker Russell goes to work, he goes zippity do da, zippity day.
Oh, boy, do I love having a slave.
And, man, my fucking balls went up inside me forever.
I mean, which I think is the original Disney lyrics.
I'm not sure.
I think it was the original score to Fantasia.
No, what's that their racist movie that's awesome?
Which they are also remaking with Michael Shannon.
I play a young Jeff Sessions.
It's me against all these crows.
I don't know.
I got a raw deal.
I don't know how much about a bill becomes a law, but I can make a shallow grave.
I'll tell you what.
you know if it comes to it and I have to be murdered I wanted to be Michael Shannon
he'll do it right
because he's a professional I think I should put that in my LinkedIn profile
kill me Michael Shannon
no one else
fuck me Kurt Russell
struck me down while you still can
if I was if I was fucked by Kurt Russell
I would immediately then just want to be murdered
because there's nothing left to live well you did it all
welcome back to fuck Mary kill me
okay well who are going to marry
Now, we got the fucking killdown.
I don't marry Hector Alizondon.
I was going to marry Scoot McNary.
No.
Gross.
Hector Elizondo, who played the garbage captain of the boat.
He's a captain of a garbage scow.
Is the one that fished her out of the water.
Correct.
And, man, if you love to laugh, marry Hector Elizondo.
Because he's a fun dude, man.
You know, in all of his little roles that pop up, he always makes me smile.
Yeah, he's kind of a now we're talking
Whenever, whenever I'm never
I've never changed the channel
I read that episode of West Wing when he was on
That was great
For me it's just like, all right
I'm really just tolerating it
Like I was recently rewatching the Princess Diaries
And you know, he's in that movie for a fashion
And I was like, alright
Just alright
I'll put up with it
I'm not gonna change the channel on actor
I mean I'm here
I'm here
I'm not happy but I'm here
See I'm already here
here. I didn't come for this, but I'm already here, and now this is also here.
That's the idea. I think he'd be a delight.
Wasn't Hector Elizander the first person say shit on broadcast television? Wasn't that him on
Chicago Hope? Oh, it might have been. That would make sense. I mean, he says a good shit.
That's world history. Do you hear that they're remaking, uh, Chicago Hope?
No, they're remaking the princess diaries. And, uh, with Michael Shannon. He's going to be, he's going to be the one that, uh, carols the princess into being a princess. Oh, I thought it was good. He was going to be, he was going to be,
the princess. Oh, that's even better. Yeah. Hi, I'm middle school outcast Mia Thermopolis.
My dad's dead and I live with my artsy mother. Do with that what you will. Oh, great. Now I'm wearing a tiara great.
Now, which, now, which, which fork am I supposed to use when I'm eating? How about I just eat with my hands?
I really don't want to wear the crown. Well, you got to, dude. I really, I'd rather.
not what is it tiara all right so i mean like she started this is when we get
one of our first of many montages she starts to to get into it i guess she's into it
yeah totally and like cleaning the house i guess the idea is well this is good for her character
because you know she never did a day's work in her life presumably it's great she's accepting
their situation now exactly if you're if you view this no but it's building upon her as a person
She came from, listen, don't defend the rich every second you get.
Her mother is a nightmare in this movie.
Their family is a nightmare.
Her husband that Cabin Mose Lons for is a nightmare.
These are nightmare people that maybe should be dead.
I mean, her mother is like one step away from Brazil.
Yes, I thought it was that lady.
It is that lady.
Oh, is it?
What's her name?
From Who's the Boss?
Oh, right, yes.
That's Mona?
Yeah, Mona is a.
in Brazil and overboard.
What?
Really?
You're that surprised?
A bunch of newspapers just gobbled up Andrew and he's gone.
Dude, I've seen Brazil like ten times.
I had no connection that that was moanor.
Moda.
But yeah, they should all be probably dead.
Terry Gilliams on the phone, Moner.
Uh-oh, I got killed by a giant hand.
Monad, Bob Hoskins here to fix the sink.
Oh, man, Bob Hoskins, best part of that movie.
Or possibly De Niro.
I don't know.
The whole thing.
Yeah, but, yeah, and she's like her mother, because basically what happens is
Edward Herman, like, goes off and he's like, oh, great, this is my chance.
Well, you do find out later, which you need to kind of know because the movie doesn't
make sense without it, is that Edward and Herman doesn't have money.
It's actually, it's always been Goldie Hans money.
Which also doesn't really make sense, because the rich people don't marry none.
rich people? Yeah. Like it doesn't make, or
like maybe she's got so much
more money than he does. That makes sense. That would
make sense. I mean, yeah, like he's, it's her
boat, it's her money. He's so much older
than her. It doesn't make sense that she
would marry this guy. It doesn't make any sense
at all. So he runs off to like just go
fuck on the high seas and
Mona keeps calling. And he
keeps doing this thing where he's like,
oh, she's, you just missed her.
Oh, she's like, telling Roddy
McDowell, oh, just, you know, tell him we're out,
whatever. Feeding her fucking Scott Peterson
lines. Well, that's the thing. This woman
disappears on the high seas. And at a certain
point towards the end of the movie, at a certain
point in the movie, she calls him up and she's like, listen,
I don't know what's going on there, but I don't like it. And you
have one week to tell me where
my daughter is. I'm like, if you suspect this
guy has killed your daughter, you're going to
give him a week to get out of town. Like, you hire a private
investigator immediately. You're a billion. That's
when Michael Shannon shows up. Oh, my God.
Yes.
What happened?
Did you throw her overboard?
That's what I would have done.
I would have thrown her right overboard.
Tell me you did it.
You know,
Tell me you did it.
Are you a cowboy?
It's really popular in Elk Grove.
Women tend to go overboard.
That was so funny.
I had the same reaction.
I was like, one week.
Yeah.
How about call me back in an hour?
That's it.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You say she's out.
If I'm going to call by midnight tonight, I'm calling the police.
When he leaves the, I don't know, the hospital or whatever that they're keeping air at at the start, he says something like, well, she's left me or whatever.
So like, play to that narrative.
Tell the mother, like, we got to build a story maybe.
We got to a big fight and she got off the ship at El Cove and told me to go, you know, to go fuck myself.
There you go.
There you go.
Which I would love to hear Edward Herman have to say that.
She told me to go fuck myself.
still a whole week you have all that time even if she was still alive with him he'd have a week to kill her dexter her and fucking be done with it or yeah or this guy's got means he's a flight risk that's why you don't let people go he's a flight risk
but there's a line in this movie there's nothing to do with the killing the possible killing but it's a real kurt russell line and it's unfortunate that it's in this context because i feel like if kurt russell made this joke in real life you'd be like kurt russell that's fucking funny
But he's showing her around the house and he's like, you know, this is where this is.
This is the bedroom and he goes in and it's like just a shitty Kurt Russell bed.
And he goes, a lot of miles on that mattress.
And I was like, ooh, Kurt Russell dialogue.
It's a funny joke.
But again, like it plays to the sex angle, which is really, in this instance, it's unfortunate.
So like we get the first night he goes, hangs out with, he keeps going out every night.
He's like, I got to go bowling with the guys.
And he's always hanging out with Mike Haggerty.
And, like, the first night, Mike Haggerty's like, hey, did you do it yet?
Hey, you teach that rich bitch a lesson yet or whatever?
And he's like, and like, the way the scene is played is like, well, of course you're going to have sex with her.
But Kurt Russell's the good guy.
Sure.
So he, in air quotes, so the way he's playing it is like he's pretending he's going to have sex with her, but he's too good of a guy to do it.
Well, it's kind of like how in Fargo, Peter Stormair's.
the good guy to Steve Bouchemey, you know what I mean?
Wait, what?
No, it's the opposite.
Well, Steve Bouchemy, like, gets mouthy, you know?
Like, he's a mean dude.
Yeah, but Peter Stormere just starts murdering people.
I think he's closer to Peter Stormere, actually.
All right, you know what, whichever.
One of the Fargo goons is nicer than the other one, and that's the way the movie plays it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I mean, this whole world takes place in, like, the, like, basically the town that a time to kill takes place in.
Like right before it happens, I feel.
Man, that, oh, if this turned out to be a time to kill prequel.
It might as well be.
But she does get into this blue-collar life.
Sure.
Oh, yeah.
Starts eating it up.
Well, there's a turning point where, like, she gets, like,
her pans are glued to the plates.
Oh, God.
And, like, these rotten kids have been awful to her.
But then she gets the hose out and starts spraying everyone in the middle of the house.
This is a turning point, Chris.
This is where the romance starts.
It's such a bullshit turning point, though.
But they're having fun.
Jesus.
Well, she's just baked a huge fucking chocolate custard for them,
and they're putting their hands in it and just feeding and shoving their mouth.
That's a weird thing.
You have Mike Haggerty come over.
You're like, hey, Mike Haggerty, come over and watch some football.
He's like, all right, let's do it, buddy.
And he comes over.
There's a bunch of beer.
And it's the classic, like, she's running around, cleaning, serving them.
He's like, oh, how about some more beers?
This, that, and the other thing.
At what point in this one, it's like the fellas together, are you like, let's dip into this chocolate cream pie?
It's so weird.
It's another one of his little, like, fucking control things.
Because he's like, I'm hungry for dessert now.
Yes.
Are you going to come and give me dessert now?
And Mike Haggerty's like, hey, man, I just came here to watch a Packer game.
This is getting weird.
No, no, no, no, no, shut up.
Where's my dessert now?
But so she freaks out in this scene, and she's like, I've.
been working my ass off. You don't
say thank you. I'm cleaning up after you. I'm serving
you. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You always liked it
before. It's like a huge
thing. And she goes away
and then she comes back and sprays him
with a hose. And it's like,
da-da-da-da-da-da. And the music's all
happy as ever-loving shit. This
is when she becomes
blue-collar trash. Yeah.
But I'm saying it's liberating for her.
All of that can't happen in
25 seconds in the same living
room. Well, it is what I'm saying. It is a
movie. It's the scene
you remember in serial season
two when Bo Bergdahls made those
guys with a hose and they all
started liking each other, the people that were
like the Taliban? Yeah, he sprayed the
Taliban with a hose. That's right. And then they
all started playing cards together and even though
he slept in a bird cage, it was
like they were buds now
and you kind of felt good. Everybody
was a little bit right in that situation.
And they shared a chocolate pie together.
It was really sweet. What did that show conclude that he was
a traitor or something? No, they kind of leave
up to you, Eric.
Yeah, you know what?
I left it up to myself to not finish listening to that season.
I'll never listen any of that shit.
That's fine.
You're all right.
But, I mean, she's a prisoner, is what I'm saying.
But so she has this moment.
It flips.
It's whatever.
We cut to like she gets called into the teacher's office because these kids are being
monsters.
They all have the same teacher.
It's like a schoolhouse.
I don't know where the, what friggin' Mennonite compound they're living on.
Cove, Oregon.
They're just all living.
They're like Amish, I guess.
We're like, this kid's 14, the other kid's eight, and they're in the same class.
Odd.
It is odd.
But so this woman's like, oh, these children are unruly.
They refuse to take this placement test, blah, blah, blah.
And Goldie Hawn, you want to talk about dressing down.
She dresses down this teacher.
It is fucking fantastic.
It's great.
Oh, my God, telling this woman off.
Oh, it's awesome.
Yeah, and she's like becoming a real mother to these kids
These kids are loving it
Like they needed discipline and structure in their life
The youngest kid can't read and Kurt Russell's like
Ah, he'll figure it out
It's like dude
It's like not all your kids will learn to read
By reading pornographic magazines by the way
They're running around that nudie man
The older kids constantly looking at pornography
And he's got a line where he's like
Ha now those are tits
Yeah
He's like looking at a magazine
And Kurt Russell's like whatever he's 13
He's jerking off all the time
Which is true, but come on, give him Moby Dick.
Because she goes up to Kerr Russell, like, you know, you're not raising these children, so-and-so doesn't add to read.
Tommy's got pornography everywhere, and he's like, well, I'll build you a separate bathroom if it bothers you that much.
And I'm like, ew, ew, ew.
You know what, Kurt Russell, it's not the jerking off that's being argued right now.
A second bathroom doesn't fix everything.
That's a bait-in bathroom, man.
You've got to have your regular bathroom, then you've got a baiting bathroom.
But to Steve's point...
Were you in the baiting bathroom?
Did you know that you're not supposed to go into the bait and bathroom?
One question for you, if you were in the baiting bathroom, were you baiting?
Because if you were at baiting, you shouldn't be in the baiting bathroom.
Why don't you just come back out here with you?
Let's go for a ride to the desert.
No, no, we're seeing the desert tonight.
Yeah, Hector's out there digging a hole nice and deep.
Oh, Hector Alessandro?
Right before I marry him.
Also, Goldie Hawn is able to point out to this teacher that all four of these little mongrels are stricken with poison oak.
Sure.
Which is like, yeah, that's unfortunate, but that's not the reason they're refusing to take this placement test.
No, they're just being assholes.
There's also this subplot where Kurt Russell's making a mini golf course, which this movie did not need.
Oh, my God.
This movie did not need it.
You know what?
I'm sure if you look through all of the decades of cinema history, there are some points, specifically Caddyshack 2 in where you need a plot line about a mini golf course, but not a lot.
Did Caddyshack 2 have a mini golf course?
Caddyshack 2 is all about a mini golf course.
Oh, because they were converting it to a mini golf course.
Stay tuned, by the way.
Oh, big time.
Jonathan Silverman in that film?
Yes, Jonathan Silverman in that film?
No, but like, you know what?
Not overboard.
No.
And it's like him and Mike Haggerty.
There's enough going on in this movie.
They're like sketching out ideas.
Well, no, she, you know, Goldie Hawn's the real designer of this whole park.
And this is a big bunch of horse shit because Mike Haggerty has the better idea where he's like, this golf course should be like every hole is a different famous brewery from America.
How cool is that?
And I was like, fuck yeah, Mike Haggerty.
I do put putt at that shit.
Absolutely.
And then Goldie Hons like, what about if there was a mini golf?
course where every hole's like a
big monument from around the world
and I was like, oh, like every fucking
miniature golf course in the history of human
society? Really?
She's got results though, man.
Like, no one's...
You're gonna bring a kid. Every brewer else
to say it was a big fucking factor in.
Well, it's all... Look at this big gray
structure. Can you get it in there?
It's all for fucking not because when at the,
when we finally see this monstrosity
it's just like floats
in the middle of a field.
Like, it's not even designed to flow.
bite your tongue this succeeds
does it yes
everyone's happy they're dancing
oh that's one night's business
that's a grand opening
that disgusting fucking a honky
fart rock band
definitely plays the grand opening
of this mini golf course they just go
they're singing Jim Dandy
three times in this movie
well you know when you pay for Jim Dandy
you really pay through the nose
the funny thing is though
so like at this point like
she's basically changed
Kurt Russell's life
for the better
she's teaching his children
how to read
she's cleaned his house
she's made order of it
she's destroying
that one child's addiction
to pornography
she gave
she gave him a business
like all this stuff
and he's like
I'm starting
he's going to Mike Hagg
and he's like
I'm feeling bad man
I guess I should
I guess I should tell her
that I abducted her
about two months ago
she finds those panties
oh that's right
but they've got
different initials on it
from the name she knows
oh right
and there's this weird
subplot of like
she wants to like figure out like
who Kurt Russell's sleeping with and what's going
on with that. Because he's like
catfished her in real life to the
point where she feels like jealous
of her abductor. It's totally fucked up.
It's amazing. But then like
the brain twists. It's a bunch of
inception. I mean like and
because he's doing fish gut work
at night. Yes. Yeah.
And everyone is trying to keep
them together because they're so good together guys.
I don't know if you notice.
they're so good together like the kids want like they're like no you're our mom what are you
talking about and then billy you know michael haggerty says that the uh the man the fucking
the fucking spiel he lays oh it's such a lot that these panties belonged like oh i strayed from
gertie and i found us phones this i actually wrote this down this is like verbatim he found
a phone sex operator who would accept personal checks and he didn't be
a bad Billy Bratt for nothing.
Bad Billy Brat.
Wow, he converted on a phone sex operator, huh?
That's pretty tough.
She came down there to have sex with him, and he wrote her a personal check.
And this is like in the middle of Kurt Russell trying to, like, admit what's going on.
And he's like, shut up.
No, this is not real.
He's not, you know, and she's like, no, oh, thank it.
And she's like giving Mike Haggerty a big hug and laughing it off.
And Kurt Russell's like, that's not what a phone sex operator.
does. They don't come to you and fuck
you. I just don't understand
how, like, Kurt Russell doesn't drive
home one day and the ATF has the place
right. No, exactly. Well, I think
that's what Mike Haggardie's deal is. Like, dude, he's
an accessory at this point. Oh, yeah.
That's why he's not like, oh, it's not
I don't care about you, man. I'm not going
to the clinfinition. The idea that like,
wait, no, dude, we're in too deep.
You convinced that woman for
40 years that
this is how it is, and that's
the way it is. Look, eventually one of you'll
die and then it'll be over with. But for right
now, I'm not going, I can't go back to prison.
Well, because my, he's definitely done time.
But this character has forged
those photographs. Yep. Yes. I mean,
he is like, tits deep in this.
It's an accessory to kidnapping.
That's a big deal. It's a huge
deal. He's doing time.
Serious time. So,
um, it's her, basically
in one of these times, Kurt Russell comes home
and he's like, baby, I got to tell you
something. And he's about to say it
again. Yeah. But then he's like, and
she's looking at him and he realized how beautiful
everything is like, it's your birthday
and like he does
this twist where like I was trying
I missed your birthday so I'm going to take you out to
a wonderful dinner. They go to some shitty
blues house and fuck, right? Like that's the
thing. But I got to stop
you though because here's where the charm of this movie
picks back up again. There's a split second
in this movie where it looks like
it is a genuine good time
and it is Kurt Russell
doing sweaty roadhouse dancing
in this bar. Holy shit.
it's awesome dude i don't care if he abducts me
look jeff domer could cut up a rug at all those fucking milwaukee clubs
all right he was great on the dance floor he loves to pick up a good guy i'm breaking it down
into little moments okay in this moment i had the thought wow it looks like it would be
really fun to share the dance floor with kurt russell not this overboard character
or whatever the else fuck so much fun to get stockholm syndrome
No, no, no, I'm talking about the precious seconds of actual Kurt Russell doing actual Kurt Russell dancing.
It's disingenuous to bring up your serial killer friends that you love so much.
Sure.
You know, because we don't know that he's killed anyone yet.
I mean, I know I suspected him of killing his world for his life.
Yeah.
But this is the staircase right now, man.
Oh, God.
You know what?
No, man, I watch fucking overboard.
and I get Stockholm syndrome.
And I'm like, he's just a good guy.
You just need someone around.
Mike Haggerty's definitely taken a life or two in this movie.
Guaranteed.
Oh, man, he definitely strangled someone to do.
Back when we were living in Germany,
my wife died that way.
She fell into a white barrel and I buried it.
Well, it's like, oh, actually, that's a fucking terrifying moment in this movie where
she's like, she's fucking catatonic.
And Kurt Rouse was like, I'll fix it.
it and he carries her outside and dumps her in a barrel of water.
And then later in the movie, even more chilling, like, she's like, she's like disagreeing
with him and like, he's like, what do you want to go back to the barrel?
She says, I don't want to go in the barrel.
It's like, please don't put me in the barrel.
Yikes.
So at that moment, I was like, did Eli Roth direct some of this movie?
So they do have sex and it's incredibly sensual.
Oh, yeah.
It's very soft.
We don't see anything, thank God.
This is worse than the Revenge of the Nerds Rape.
right? Because, I mean, like, they're both misleading sexual encounters.
That's bone-chilling. It is. The end of Revenge of the Nerds is bone-chilling.
This, I mean, like, look, it sucks. It's a thousand percent problematic. The movie and Gary Marshall and everybody involved did it as best as they thought they could to make it so, like, they're both in love.
And look, clearly, by the people who, like, responded to my Facebook post and everything else, so many people fucking fell for it.
Sure. And I think a lot of that has to do with the chemistry of Kurt Russell and Goldie.
I agree. I feel like anyone else playing this, as we illustrated with Michael Shannon and Anne Hathaway for several reasons.
If it was anyone else, it wouldn't work. But like, these two people were in love in real life and it comes across on the screen.
You know what I think it is? I think it's you end this movie with a Randy Newman song and everyone thinks the movie was fun.
If you, if you ended Dogville with a Randy Newman song, they'd like.
like, oh, that was kind of fun when that woman broke her statue.
That would be a little more confusing than anything.
Well, that's an odd choice for Von Tree.
The bouncy synth-billy soundtrack.
Like, there it is.
That's what it's called.
Cabin coined it.
And, like, I'm sorry.
That's what makes all of this okay in the outer world.
It has this stupid bouncy.
You put some Wagner over this.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I was talking.
Wait a second.
I'm going to go home and do that.
That's what I was talking about with this fake trailer shit.
You could change that up, man.
And it's like bone chilling.
Even bone chilling is the kids almost run into them the next morning.
And one of the kids, I think it's porno, fat kid, is like,
You got nice tits or nice ass.
Hooker Russell's like, ew, man.
What I believe it is because it's even worse.
Because I mean, like, this is after like this movie spending all this time being like,
but she's like a mother to them and they respect her as a mother.
Well, this is, first of all, it's a real Larry the Cable guy birthday present because he fucks her and then opens the door and it's a bunch of rug rat mongrel kids going, got you a warshin machine.
Yeah.
And she's like, oh great, a warhing machine.
And then he goes to get the kids and he like shoes the kids out.
And before this kid closes the door, he goes, she might have no tits, but she has a nice ass.
Yuck.
And that's where this whole thing should crumble because Goldie Hawn's character totally hears.
it. And she's like, wait, what did he say?
I feel like I missed this line. No, that's a real
line. Yeah, it's there. He says it, and she goes,
what did he say? And it's like,
and it's like, and then they cut and it's over
with. She had to be like, wait, he's cut?
No, no, no, no. Don't,
don't worry. I was just telling him about
what's going to happen on a 16th birthday.
It's just outrageous
that she's like, wait, what did my son just
say about me? Yes. Cut.
Cut. Gary Marshall,
cut. It's fine.
So Edward Herman rushes
back because... Warshing machine. The
federally's around after him.
He picks up moaner along
the way and like I guess fills her
in as to what happened.
And he basically shows up
to Kurt Russell's house and
he's like, it's a scene where
like she just walks by and she's like, oh hey
Edward Herman. She's like, Edward Herman.
She remembers everything. And we have a
she's all that moment plus Sven Othorson.
So that's pretty... Oh man. Svenl
Thorson as like the beefy
security guard. What a camera.
named Oloff.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's appropriate.
You know, I really wish we could have seen these two stallions fight.
That would have been great.
Kurt Russell starts duking it out, and it would definitely be duking it out, by the way.
Oh, definitely, dude.
Maybe some fucking drop kicks back and forth?
No, it's totally.
They have to fight in a lumber yard because it's Portland.
It's Oregon, right?
And then fucking Svennolly Thorson, as big as a fucking tree trunk, gets fucking thrown into a saw.
Yes, exactly.
I thought you were going to see.
takes a whole tree and swings it at Kurt Russell.
Oh, if he hacksawed Jim Doug and him?
Both, dude. Both. Both.
And then Kurt Russell has to...
He's like, now we've got to go live in the sea because now I'm going to murder
B.
He's got to murder B on top with this whole kidnapping thing.
Instead, it's just this awkward thing where Edward Herman in this scene is like not...
He doesn't say a word really.
No. He's just like standing there.
And all he says is like, oh, if you want to get rough, that's why I brought Ola.
And then Sven Olthorson doesn't get to say anything.
It's just a bunch of people not saying anything.
Because they're wrong for each other, man.
Who's Sven Olthorson and Edward Herman?
That and Edward Herman and Goldie Hawn.
Are you the comeda?
So.
The thing is the She's All that moment is really small.
It's not like, it's never, a, no mention of charges by either Edward Herman or Goldie Hawn.
Like, dude, this guy should go to jail.
She doesn't burn that.
house down. I'm sorry. It's not convincing.
Because she's just like, oh, I can't believe you lied to me.
It's like, yeah, he did a lot more than lied.
But I think it's a thing.
She, excuse me, he rescued her out of the complacency of her doomed marriage and terrible
life.
And also, Edward Herman's totally complicit because he did the whole like, not my wife.
Yeah.
So I think it's just like the two dudes here are like, let's just kind of call this.
even sure i mean we're you know i'm playing a little bit of the devil's advocate sure
hoo ha ha ha oh geoffrey jones should have been i'm not even sure of how pachina would be okay
with this i think he'd probably have a problem this is this what do you think that
that relationship with beverly d angelo was she had no idea who he was
found her in a hospital once oh my god yeah i'll uh yeah i'll take that when i saw that
vacation movie yeah she looks like a pip yeah i'll give you a 20 tire to the top of my car
so i guess it's like so get back on my boat so you know there's like 20 yeah there's like 20
minutes where there's like some stupid therapist named dr corman who are not even gonna
plays a piano it's like a joke it's like a joke and then like she's like oh give me a beer
and everyone's like everyone's monocle falls out like because like she's been trashified
Right, yeah, she's a pig now.
Yeah, she's a white trash pig.
And she's, like, hanging out with the staff and stuff.
And everyone's like, oh, something's wrong with her or whatever.
Basically, this movie ends as an 80s movie should with two boats careeding towards each other.
That's the only way to end an 80s movie.
She's drinking beer.
She's talking to the staff.
She's regained her humanity.
But it's just amazing that this movie is like, look at this piece of shit.
Who was a piece of shit person?
Sure.
And it's like, this kidnapping.
happened to her and this kid look what this kidnapping did it made her into a real gal don't worry here
comes james con to settle the whole rest of the thing no i would much rather a dogville ending honestly
fucking ed herman comes to the house with a bunch of guys of guns oh yeah they shoot them all
yes hector alizando they get the doctor they get the kids yes they got to get the kids oh sure
especially that porno i mean i don't think you should everybody's going down and the town
doesn't exist anymore. No more elk
cove. That'd be, oh, and it ends
salty earth. That's what it is. The movie
they're all dead. It ends with
Sven Olthorson going up to the
sign that says, welcome to El Cove, like
population, whatever, and he just picks
the entire sign up out of the ground
and just breaks it over his knee
and throws it in the water.
Fade to a stage with outlines
of
some guys like, hey,
excuse me, buddy, how do I get
to Elk Cove and
keep driving.
Listen, turn the car around.
Keep driving.
Goldie Hawn's in the back seat just staring blankly.
Smoking a cigarette man.
Just trying to get it all through her head.
Goldie Hawn, like, gets in a fight with Edward Herman,
because Edward Herman's like being a scumbag.
And he says something about he spent the past month
whacking the donkey with painted ladies.
Yeah.
Because he's just been like fucking hookers, this whole movie.
One of which is called Tofutti.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, you're sure.
So, like, Kurt Russell is going to go, like, he loves her, so he gets Mike Haggerty to commande the Coast Guard.
That's how this whole thing goes tits up, man.
You get the U.S. Armed Services involved?
Do not bother with you.
You got to get a buddy's boat.
This is a buddy's boat situation.
Oh, yeah.
I know a guy who's got a boat.
Don't bring the government involved.
Oh, yeah.
We've got to get the government out of our lives.
Well, no, because they're all like, oh, great.
You're rescuing your wife.
wife and you're like well not really he's like what do you mean and then you tell them the story
and you're in a fucking stockade yeah you're in the brig exactly it's like wait so then the
coast guard gets a call and it's like oh salmon poachers yeah there's salmon poachers and so the guy
i think these are all like real life coast guard people because they're all fucking horrible one of
them is gary marshall's son actually oh the little turd on the radio can i tell you the most
meaningless piece of i'm db trivia i've ever seen for the movie overbow
Wow, sure.
It's for overboard.
It says, trivia.
Gary Marshall's sister is Penny Marshall.
In overboard?
In overboard? Filed under Overboard.
It's like, trivia.
Penny Marshall exists.
Did you click that that was not cool or interesting?
I didn't bother.
Was she like thanked in the credits maybe?
Maybe.
And he was just trying to shove it in there.
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, she played Poseidon in this scene, but they cut that out.
so like the the coast guard's like we got to go do legitimate shit so this dumb thing will have to be stopped and they go to turn around and Kurt Russell's not having it and he jumps off the boat and here's what's unconfirmed as far as overboard well he goes overboard yeah he goes overboard but here's the thing the question I had as to who's going overboard because I rewounded a couple times unconfirmed as to whether or not that's a stunt double I think Kurt Russell was jumping off that boat.
I hope so.
It looked awesome.
I would think he would.
I would hope he would.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Didn't you notice it looked a lot like Kurt Russell?
Why wouldn't he jump off the boat himself?
Oh, he's a big movie star.
Oh, he's a virile young man.
I know, like Tom Cruise always insists on doing his own stunts.
Well, and I mean, he's got to know that Randy Newman's in the water.
So, anyway.
Are Randy Newman in the water?
Don't go in that water.
I heard there's a Randy Newman in there.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do you're going to need a bigger piano.
You ever see Randy Newman's eyes like a doll's eyes?
Rose back in his head as he clinks the piano keys.
You want someone to kill a Randy Newman.
I can do it.
The U.S.S. Indianapolis.
The water was cold and a bunch of Randy Newman's.
Swimming around us.
I saw a bunch of men start going under.
I said,
really steel boys with a bunch of Randy Newman swimming around.
33 good boys go down to this drink with Randy Newman that night.
I like eating bro days.
Oh, it's awful.
So she jumps into the water to...
Sure, she's going overboard a second time.
Woman overboard.
They follow on...
They follow.
love they come back onto the Coast Guard
boat and like he's like I can't
believe you gave up all that stuff for me and she's
like no I didn't I'm actually rich
and I have all the money like
and the gag is like the
four shitty little kids or he
says like they're already making out their Christmas lists
and she's like oh great
so add grand larceny
to this fucking because this is Stockholm
syndrome ladies and gentlemen that's the only reason for her
to do this like if she hates Edward and Herman
that much is like you know what I'm getting an apartment
in New York I'm going to figure it out for like eight to
10 months.
Yes.
Separation.
Trial separation.
Sure.
See what happens.
But then she eventually marries
Colm Fior and that is the prequel to First Wives Club.
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
No,
it ends even creepier than that because she's like,
or I don't know who suggested.
Somebody's like,
hey,
let's have a baby.
Oh,
no.
He's like,
he's like,
you can give me something.
He's like,
ah,
you know,
you're giving me all this money.
What can I give you?
She's like,
you can give me something.
She looks at the fucking ugly kids.
he's got he's like she's like a girl oh right yeah that's what it's a girl beep and then cue randy
newman and we're out of here guys jesus christ you should have had a cartoon outro yes at least like
they smile they kiss maybe the cartoon is like the two of them and it's the top of their wedding
cake sure yeah or like how is there not bloopers at the end of this how is they're not like
we're doing the thing that roger ebert always hated where it's like the credits are going but the
movie kind of continues like where's the wedding
those four little shit-stained
kids are like the groomsmen
we could see the little girl but I did there maybe
this might be a sequel set up by the way
you never know oh that could be
overboard two now there's a kid
great title
what do they trick that kid
into thinking that's a great question because the new
cast member has to be the one that gets tricked
no it's one oh no that's what it is it's the
one of the kids goes to prep school
and then somebody overboards him to a dirt
family and like it's like
Oh yeah my how the tables
have turned fat kid
Exactly
Fat Pornow Kid would have to be it
Would anybody recommend this movie?
No it's about two hours
Which is about too long
One hour and 52 minutes
And there are a lot of like really
Bone chilling lines like the barrel line
That really like even when you're starting to be like
Well this is a kind of a
Let me put away my 2017
Glasses
Right
Put on my 1987 glasses, still not that great.
Yeah.
No.
Hard no.
This is awful.
Chris Cabin's hard no.
It's all creepy.
I would say from beginning to end, it's like really bone chilling.
And like I really do think you take the score off this thing and it's a much more frightening movie.
So yeah, no.
I think it's, you know, obviously there's problems with it that were addressed on this podcast.
But Kurt Russell.
I think, well, it's, it's fun, it's dumb, you know.
I think a hangover movie, seeing is believing type of situation.
I would recommend it.
Sorry.
I mean, it's crazy.
Sorry, America.
It's crazy, but.
I thought you were going to say sorry, not sorry, which reminded me, today I heard someone
use that in real life.
I almost threw up.
Oh, that's a problem.
I think I didn't make you blow chums.
Here's how I will argue that it's a hangover movie.
is because if it's a hangover that's bad enough
And this is the first movie you put on
While you're trying to deal with just laying on the couch with a Gatorade
You can kind of fall asleep at about 20 minutes
And that's before the creepitude kicks in
So you can kind of just enjoy the chemistry of the two of them
And then before anything stockholmey goes on
If you're in need of a real rageache
Fine
See that's the thing is the chemistry
Russell and Hahn make this
No, they ask, I will say their chemistry is undeniable.
The circumstances is deplorable.
It sucks.
Another word ruined by 2017.
It's just amazing that it's like this, this fucking past the mustard.
Nobody was like, you know, Gare.
This is Roddy McDowell's dream.
This is his baby.
Do you think that's why he was dumping so much money into it?
Oh, you know who wrote this movie?
Speaking of movies.
Oh, O'O.
Adolf Hitler.
Steve Bannon.
Steve Mnuchin.
It's a little...
It's written by a woman.
It is written by a woman.
So then you're like, oh, okay, so that's kind of like, take some of the stink off it, right?
Which it kind of does.
Also, like, every woman I know loves this movie.
It is written by a woman named Leslie Dixon.
Right.
Who has also written movies called Mrs. Doubtfire.
Wow.
Oh, I'm seeing a fucking trans.
Uh-huh.
She loves stories about trickery
Problematic trickery
Criminal trickery
Just like heaven
Which is a very weird movie
Also very weird
Is that that Warren Beatty movie?
No that's the fucking
Reese Witherspoon
Oh where someone's a ghost
She's a ghost
And Mark Rufelow
And Hulk is like in love with her
It's a stay tuned
You got John Heater
farting through that movie
We've got a four-timer here
She's done the movie we just did
which is overboard
She's done Mrs. Doubtfire.
She also wrote, look who's talking now.
Wow, one of the odds.
And Eric Siska favorite lover boy.
Oh, my goodness.
Whoa.
Lover boy is also another like, we're going to fuck people for money.
It is.
Weird.
Yeah.
How about that?
A lot of criminal sexual trickery.
Weird lady.
Hey, weird lady.
Well, you know, I mean, she pulled that off.
Maybe that was the big con on the world.
Maybe she tried to sell them all as thrillers.
Oh.
And then she was like, no, let me rejigger it here a little bit.
And boom, comedies.
Oh, that's what it might have been.
She was like, here's this bone-chilling thriller I wrote called Overbord.
And look who's talking now.
Yeah, also a bone-chilling movie in its own right.
Well, it's like you take the talking dogs out.
That's still like a bone-chilling story.
Mrs. Dought-Fire, clearly bone-chilling.
Take out those dogs, swap in some Kurt Russell's.
Kurt Russell Terriers
That's overboard
From 1987
Directed by the late great
Gary Marshall
