You know, we don't go to the beach here in New York, because you can't do that without getting poisoned or driving out to Long Island.
You know, you get stuck with a syringe.
Yeah.
That's like, that's a New York jellyfish.
when you're going to fucking orchard beachman, look out for that.
Or you get, you know, globbed up by Thomas Hayden Church, right?
That's also true.
That's the other thing you got to look out for.
So that's why we just put a bunch of sand in the studio.
We're hanging out.
We got our umbrella drinks.
You know, I refer to it as just, you know, our own personal litter box.
Oh, you're the one peeing in the sand.
Wait, you guys haven't been going?
Oh, man.
I'm not talking to you because you deflated my beach ball.
I told you already
I'm not talking to you about this
Yeah I belly flopped on that thing
Yeah that's not a euphemism folks
He really did deflate an actual
Oh I thought he jerked him off until he came
No no no no no
That's what I thought people were thinking
Oh okay
Yeah yeah yeah
So we're here to introduce
An episode of a little known movie
called Free Jack
Now this movie stars one
Emilio Estavez
From Mighty Ducks fame
And Brat Pack fame
Did you hear about this?
Did you hear about this?
I mean, by the time this is coming out, it's like weeks old, but Goldberg just got arrested for petty theft.
Goldberg got arrested for petty theft? Get out of town.
The wrestler?
No, the goalie.
Oh, really?
I thought you're talking about the wrestler.
No, no, no, no.
I thought he pulled an OJ and just was like taking old dolls of him off the shelves.
I want my memorabilia.
Give me that belt back.
Maybe that's what, maybe that's what I didn't look at up.
I just saw the Twitter headline, but I, oh, maybe he stole a bunch of DVDs and VHSs of
by detox. These are mine. And whatever
cameos on Nickelodeon shows
he had or whatever the fuck. That guy,
he was one of those things, he's not fat anymore.
I remember that being a headline one time
was like, Goldberg ain't fat. What the fuck?
You know, fuck him then.
Rot in jail.
I think Thudbud is still obese, though.
So, well, you know, that's sometimes you can't be.
Better be. You know, you need something to fall back on.
This movie also stars
Rock and Roll Sensation Mick Jagger.
Yeah, oh yeah. He's the bad guy
of this movie.
Jonathan Banks is also a bad guy in this movie
of Better Call Saul fame
Tony Bank
Tony Hopkins
Oh of course
I totally forgot about that
Westworld's Tony Hopkins
Yeah totally
Transformer of the last night
Tony Hopkins
So yeah this is a movie where
Emilio Estavez is a race car driver
Who is like a half a second
Before his demise in an auto wreck
He is what they call freejacked
into the future
for some reason that I don't remember.
They, like, rich people, I think, go into their bodies.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's stupid.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they take people who are dying from the past and just, like, recycle them.
It's pretty, it's a good program, I think.
You'd fund it.
I would.
A president, Cisco, would put funding into that.
Definitely, I'd put all of the funding into that.
You know, AIDS and cancer, take a backseat.
to the Freejack program.
So yeah, we are going to continue our summer vacation.
And if this is new to you, because like we said,
this is not a main feed episode.
Enjoy us talking about Free Jack.
You know, for something like this,
you have to set your thing a little bit farther into the future.
There's no way that this movie's possible in 2009 from a 1992 standpoint.
No, there's at least a hundred.
hundred years in the future.
By the way, the whole thing involves time travel and body snatching.
Bone jacking.
Bone jacking.
It's not body snatching per se.
No, it is exactly body snatching.
Let's just call it something cooler.
Did I say that the film is Free Jack, by the way?
Maybe.
If not, it is.
Stephen Freejack.
I don't know.
A little theme episode here for no one.
It stars Emilio Estabez, other high.
Hollywood luminaries such as Renee Rousseau, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Sir Mick Jagger.
I don't know if he might actually be. He's got to be. Probably, right? What do you mean he's
got to be? Why not? At this point? I think the stones are a little too grungy for the queen.
I don't know how that goes. Really? They partied a little too hard, stayed out a little bit too late.
I heard that chick gets down though.
What? The queen moms. She gets nasty, you think?
She might.
So we start in 1992 on some sort of racing circuit that's not Formula One, but is pretending to be that?
That's in New York. What is the racing scene in New York that I'm unaware of?
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
And no one in this room can because none of us watch it.
But there might be a NASCAR track somewhere on Long Island.
Am I wrong?
I think that's what the movie's trying to say.
I don't know if that's right.
I thought there legitimately was one.
I know there's one in, like, New Hampshire.
I'm sure there's one out by, like, in, like, western New York that, that, uh...
Oh, the Free Jack Expressway.
That's what you're talking about.
The Free Jack Expressway.
Yeah, it connects under the Matlock Expressway.
So Emilio Estabez is this race car driver who kind of drives these Formula One looking
funny car things.
Because it's smaller than a Formula One car, too.
It's kind of like he's one step above like a, like a funny car racer.
it's a race car i mean we we just say that i mean i don't think you know we don't know i couldn't
tell you yeah i couldn't tell you a goddamn thing about an actual race car it is it's a funny car because
he's such a tiny man that they probably had to make it a little smaller for him i think it's a hot wheel
i think you know honestly because the majority of my amelio estuvese experience is either the
mighty ducks movies where he's starring alongside a bunch of little kids or men at work where
he's just next to his similarly
hided brother. Yeah. I didn't realize
how terribly short he is.
He's on all sorts of apple carts
of this movie because he's supposed to be like the dramatic
lead, you know, and like intense
and interesting and sexually attractive.
I mean, he's not a bad looking dude.
You get a little bedroom scene here at the beginning
of this movie. Are you saying you're sexually
attractive to him? I'm
saying he's a sexually attractive guy.
Of course. A 1990s,
Emilio Esfuss, that's the height of his
powers. Because he's still got
the golden boy good looks from the
breakfast club and that voice is
definitely the same octave and probably
still is today and he
gets that Martin Sheen punch
as he gets older like that's something
that's a bug that never got his brother
his brother had other kinds of bugs to get
but not that one all sorts of
bugs enough coke and crack and you
don't have that that eliminates that
yeah there is zero possibility
for a punch on Charlie Sheen
so yeah so he's
preparing for this race car
race that he's going to. And it's, it's kind of like your
race car race. This is kind of, it's your standard, you know,
something, this race isn't going to go well thing. Because like,
you know, René Rousse is trying on all sorts of dresses. And she's like,
when are we going to get married? It's like, soon as I win this race, baby. It's
going to be all different. It's like, just this one last race.
One more day till retirement. And there's a great, great point here
where Emilio Astavis asks her to nibble his ear
for luck. Like, it's like this little cute
thing that they have together like oh you're gonna go off and do something big where i'm gonna nibble
your ear for a little bit you know and here's the thing about that rene russo's character in this
movie like okay i'm not one for like you know i walk by someone on the street or in the subway
station and whatnot and they're like totally you know two people just go into town on each other
and i'm like you know all right but in this situation they're outside this big race course
he could go up in flames in a matter of minutes and all he wants is a little good
good luck nibble and she is so disgusted by it oh man she's going to feel really bad about
herself in about 15 minutes when this when this doesn't shake out when not so much this movie
but him goes up in flames movie kind of goes up with so at the same time that he's prepping
at this racetrack and he's walking around meeting all these potential sponsors with his manager
uh i'm going to just call him buster poindexter but it's the date david johans
David Johansson, Buster, Poindexter for the rest of this episode.
He was also in Scrooge with Bill Murray and Car 54, where are you?
Stay tuned.
Yeah, he kind of looks like Benicio del Toro if he was a nightmare.
Yeah, he's kind of a funhouse mirror.
He is.
And I mean, that's a bad situation.
It's a really bad situation.
He also looks like, funny enough, if Benicio del Toro fucked Mick Jagger.
and one of them had a kid, which is very interesting.
Very probable.
Because crosscut with this race prep scene is our friend, Mick Jagger, in 2009, getting ready for some sort of experiment.
We don't really know what's going on, but they're triangulating coordinates, blah, blah.
And they're just, they're in tanks.
They're in, like, trenches and, like, Esai Morales has one eye, and he's, like, doing, like, all sorts of supercomputer.
action. I'm like, this has to be
3,07, right? That's
where we are right now because it's so
far in the future. But it has
to be at least farther
than, what is that, 18 years or
whatever? Like, come on.
What is the fucking problem
set it at least 50
years into the future? There's, because
we were talking about this before we went on the
air, but like this whole freejack
thing that we're going to get into, this whole system
is predicated on
the already existence
of time travel.
So we had to solve the time travel problem.
And then someone came up with free jacking or bone jacking
rather.
Right. Yes.
Shortly after that, a month after that.
The system basically is in the year 2009,
the horrible year of 2009, there's nothing but the
mega, mega rich and like the dirt poor and the mega rich
decide that they need to live forever.
And they can't, I don't know why, just take a poor
person's body, but.
They need to take body from time travel where someone gets killed and they zap them from that time
right when they're about to die to the present day 2009 so that they can bone jack them.
Right.
So they put the consciousness of the dying person into this free jack.
Yes.
The free jack who have they recently bone jack.
Now, here's these terms right.
Here's something I need to know.
Now, is a free jack?
Is that a term just for anyone who is being.
donated to this process, or is that just
one who escapes? So are
they just known as jacks if they are
in captivity? Oh, that's
a fancy looking jacking got
there. Very nice, Jack.
Freejack is kind of like the
unused computer game you get. You've got like
your solitaire, your minesweeper,
and then there's something called
Free Jack that you never click on.
Hellariously enough, I was Googling it today
and there is a video game called Freejack
and I think it's not related.
premise of no i think it's like i think it's like a parkour game or something
sure it is let me tell you something my father was at the height of windows 3-1
and windows 95 also i believe it carried over into my father was obsessed with
free cell yeah is what you're thinking of uh tripeaks and uh there was another one golf i think
was another card game all those random non-solitary games that i have no idea how to
fucking play i love those games because there's all you're always playing with
fake people like Bill and Tom
and like all these like it's like before the
internet so they just had to make you feel less
alone. Oh yeah totally. I never
wanted to hang out with any of those guys
though. Like in some of them they have
like a little little cartoon
person of Bill and Tom and it's like
that guy's from the old west
and this one that guy kind of looks
like bogey. He must be good at cards.
Yeah exactly.
You were always playing with people from
different time periods though. That guy's
Mick Jagger. And there's that
That sassy little trollop over there named like Margaret or something.
Scarlet or something.
Yeah.
Oh, yes, Scarlet.
Scarlet, the female card shark.
So, yeah.
Well, it's on the process of free jacking doesn't stop there.
I mean, it's Jagger and his crew of bonejackers are looking at footage of the day of Emilio's explosion death.
and they like have to
they pinpoint like the
they're using the footage to pinpoint
how to get them out of this situation
so that makes me think that
you can only be bone jacked
if you die on
broadcasted footage
of some sort or film
either that or you know
like it's like back to the future you never know
where and when lightning's going to strike
unless you do
so maybe if you flat out know
it's well documented
When someone's going to die.
Yeah.
Maybe then you can kind of, you know, triangulate those coordinates somehow.
It just so happens in this situation for some reason.
Because that's the other question, right?
Who is filming this?
What is this on ESPN4?
Maybe what he was a car racer.
They like car racers on TV.
Also, I mean, because the whole thing is like, you know, he, hey, cool.
Hey, cool, it's a car racer.
Oh, no, he got bone jet.
I hate one of my favorites get bones.
Bone jack.
Good thing I'll never be bone jacked because I'm physically unfit for bone jacking.
Is it a thing where you have to go up in flames, it kind of a mysterious thing?
Because, like, couldn't, like, Kennedy have gotten bone jacked?
Wouldn't that, like, destroy the space time, continue?
Era, I've gotten bone jacked.
It appears as if I've been bone jacked.
He would have to be one of the...
Oh, no, I'm the Prince of Nigeria.
This didn't work out well for me.
They didn't have the money for the bone jacking.
It was all a rude.
here right now I'm just living in a hut
but he would have been had to have been the
JFK was definitely bone jacked he would have been
he had to have been like one of the first to have been bone jacked
yeah because he's the most famous one yeah
wait a second though was Reagan a failed bone jacking
probably like Mick Jagger's like at the cord
and it's like now he's gonna get out of this cart
this particular time oh what's that you canceled your order
oh well he's just got
Someone canceled transaction
I couldn't get him then
I got Megan a little older
But what came back
You wouldn't want
You know it sucks
The whole grave digging industry
Is destroyed in this era
Because everyone's just
Everyone's just bone jacket and bone jacket
Well no
Because you can still rob like
You know
The sickly
And the you know
Like Larry the cable guy
Like a physically unfit for bone
Yeah, that's true.
But they probably don't have anything worth it.
I think at that point, you're hunting for time capsules and stuff?
Time cops?
You're looking for time cops, you think?
Time capsules.
But there really should be time cops in this to monitor all the bone jacking.
Yeah, that's absolutely true.
Because as we find out in this movie, like, it's kind of some shitty.
I mean, well, that's the thing.
I don't know.
Anthony Hopkins kind of does go through all the proper channels to bone jack Emilio Estevez, right?
He dots his eyes and crosses his team.
That's what's kind of ridiculous about this.
Like, you know, Bill of Sale, man.
Hopkins has to have a receipt of some kind.
I'll get into it right now.
I actually see nothing morally wrong with bone jacking.
Right.
Okay, let's have this conversation before we get into the rest of the movie.
Because honestly, it's kind of just a bunch of car chases
and Amelia Westavis looking and not sounding tough.
But so the ethics behind bone jacking.
Is everyone in this room totally fine with it?
well you're gonna be dead anyway if if the stipulation of bone jacking is you have to be you're gonna be fucking blown to smithereens there's no point you're definitely dead on impact fuck it like if there's gonna be nothing left fuck it i think i'd be better with bone jacking if i was the bone jacker than the bone jacky oh right so if it's in service to you get your consciousness putting amelio estavez well i didn't say that one but but but but
Or Larry the cable guy
You know whoever you pay
Hey cool
I would
Like think about this
What if every serial killer's victim
Gets bone jacked
Like the guy's about to put the knife in
And it's just like
Ah shit he got bone jacked
That guy I would be thankful
I would be happy
To not get raped and murdered
And fleshed and skinned
Then just get bone jacked
And then they lobotomize you really quick
They put you out
They put you under
Well when you put it that way
I guess I am for bone jacking
However
the reason why there's a big hole in your thing, right?
Like, who, what serial killer is publicly murdering someone?
Yeah, I guess it's.
So then if you're bonejacking all of these people who are about to be killed by Jason Voorhees
in the middle of the woods or whatever,
they're just going to be people that are gone missing.
That doesn't solve a problem.
But that's the real question.
It's like if they, yeah, if they go missing, but if they find like a dent, like,
let's say, you know, they dig up Dahmer's basement and they find a bunch of people,
they do the autopsies.
Carbidating.
Yeah, the corpse carbonated.
Well, like the time of death, you know, like if an autopsy comes with the time of death,
can that person then be bone jacked?
And if so, that opens up almost all of humanity to bone jacking.
Yeah, except, see, now we're getting into all sorts of time travel wormholes here.
And now it's kind of like looper.
You need to start communicating with the future to let them know, hey, man, we're going to dig up this thing.
So feel free to clear out this basement.
maybe, you know, will, like, a plane's going to crash?
That's, like, 50 for one right there.
But I was thinking about this when I was watching this movie is it would be great if they had, like, a looper-like scenario like that.
But they had, like, maybe like their own, like test facility, like a crash test dummy facility where they just keep on ramming people into the wall to blow up and then just transport them for the bone jacking, you know?
They get a couple, like, real lemons of cars.
It was ram against walls.
Just a bone jack in fact.
I think it's safe to say
we're all in one way or another
kind of okay with what's happening
in this movie. Absolutely.
So Emilio gets bone jagged.
This car goes flying into
a wall hilariously and just
bursts into flames.
He's shot forward into 2009
into one of McJager's tanks
and they're going to take him to the facility
and trade his consciousness with a
mysterious person who's
paid for it, which I totally spoil.
like 28 minutes ago, it's Anthony Hopkins.
Who cares?
He's the one who's paying for this whole thing.
That's a big twist for some reason, obviously.
But even though it's obvious that it has to be Anthony Hopkins, because, like, you see
his name in the credits, who else is going to be doing the bone jacking?
It's, you know, he's a rich guy and, like, you only see him in video and you're like,
oh, that's interesting.
Like, it's a video phones are huge in 2009.
Man, they really overshot the importance of video phones.
We didn't even have FaceTime yet, actually.
We didn't get there.
They call them vid phones.
For short, you know?
A little hip, yeah, sure.
Well, it's almost like iPhone, so they were close, kind of.
Well, sometimes not really.
I mean, like part of the vid phone thing is like Mick Jagger's wall of his apartment.
Well, no, it's a vid phone.
It's back to the future, too, kind of video phone technology.
You got Mick Jagger, betting needles, all kinds of shit up there on the big screen.
Actually, David Johansson kind of looks like Flea also.
He got it does.
So he gets, you know, grabbed into 2009.
And before he can be lobotomized, which I guess is a process, you know,
because they're going to swap out your brain anyway.
Yeah, you got to clean, you got to clean the, got a clean slate going.
Yeah, exactly.
You got to erase that three inch, a three quarter inch floppy disk.
Their caravan is like attacked by rebels because it's also kind of dystopian.
And not post-apocalypse exactly.
right and it's all set in new york city so this band of rebels are attacking them in i think it's like
spanish harlem or something yeah it's all because it's definitely like upper upper east side the geography is
very sketchy yeah it's a loose new york city geography so they're hit by like a rocket or something
and amelio doesn't get the lobotomy he wakes up he's like he thinks he's in a hospital you know
what kind of hospital is this kind of a thing escapes and then the movie is fucking mick jagger trying to track
He also kills a bunch of those, like, scientists, surgeons.
Those are some of the rudest doctors you'll ever hear in a movie.
Well, you know, they're not, they're not, like, dealing with a patient they want to keep alive.
Yeah, I guess they don't really need bedside, man.
They're a bit indignant about it, for sure.
Yeah, they're like, honestly, it's like Emilio Estabez woke up and was like,
I'm like, he woke up in a vet's office.
Like, you're just being treated like a goddamn animal.
Well, that's what, you know, it kind of makes you terrified, like, if you ever have to have an operation or something.
thing like what these people are saying
about you once you're under. Because they
think he can't hear. And they're like, oh, who's this?
Oh, look at this ugly guy. Yeah, he'll make a good
replacement for this rich customer.
Are you coming out
against bonejacking now? No, I'm
coming out against rude bonejacking doctors.
Just be nice about it.
Here, it's a, it's a 10-hour
day. Imagine you're working on a spreadsheet
and all of a sudden starts running away. You'll get pissed
off. You know what? If I was sitting there
and somehow a spreadsheet ran off.
my computer. I'd let it go
because that little guy earned it.
He somehow found the means to come off a computer
screen and run away from him. Yeah, that's when I go home
early for the death. So Mick Jagger has to report
this problem to his
direct superior. And there's
a big overall, like
you know, like an over
it owns everything kind of
a global company in this movie. As you do.
In a post-apocalyptic 2009.
Yeah, like McCandless enterprises or whatever it is.
It's some take on Anthony Hopkins' last name.
Yeah, his last name is McCandless.
Right.
So it's like a mechanic or, yeah.
Who cares?
So Mick Jagger's got to go report to the dude who hired him,
which is Breaking Beds Mike the Cleaner, Jonathan Banks.
It's always amazing to see him not play Mike the Cleaner.
Like he's done a guest spot on Modern Family playing Ed O'Neill's brother,
which is kind of interesting.
Oh, and he was also
in Parks and Rec is
what's...
Oh, yeah, he's Adam Scott's father, too.
And I'm just waiting for him
to beat the shit out of somebody.
But in this movie, he's just like,
now, Mick,
you told me you were going to get
this free jack.
He's, I mean, it's a very robocop
scenario.
Like, he's just anything to get ahead
in the cooperation, Walter.
You know, like, whatever it is,
it's just, he will do everything.
It's so robocop.
It's a bit,
It's a bit much.
Yeah, dystopian future, big corporation runs everything.
And this guy's, like, looking to get to the top.
Yeah, I can see that.
He's kind of just like, look at my evil bad guy ponytail.
That's the size of a Mike and I.
He's got a miniature ponytail in this movie.
It's not even a ponytail.
You're just putting a little rubber bed at the back of your kind of long hair.
I mean, I guess, you know, I mean, we all know what Mike the cleaner looks like now.
Like Jonathan Banks is a bald man.
So maybe, you know, it's just one of those your hair.
hanging on to whatever scraps he got left.
Make a cool ponytail out of it if you're playing a villain.
It's working for George Carlin, I guess.
Jonathan Banks is going to come to my house and beat the shit out of me now.
I would love to watch that.
Make fun of my ponytail, Walter.
Why are you calling me Walter?
It's the only way I can relate to people, Walter, and he just kills you.
There's a great moment in this scene where Mike the Cleaners got a collection of Fabergeet eggs on his desk.
It's such a shitty, like, movie rich person thing of like, well, he's got a bunch of money.
What's he going to spend it on?
Oh, I know Fabrijeet eggs.
And like, what's his name?
Mick Jagger picks one up and like he's a genius.
Oh, an interesting egg.
What's his?
Fabrije.
Like, of course it is.
Yeah.
You can tell the Fabrizier egg because it's a fucking Fabrizier egg.
Actually, Walter, it's hardboiled.
It's my lunch.
My granddaughter was really.
overzealous at Easter.
Decorating eggs
is an art form, Walter.
Isn't it ironic that I have
this very sweet relationship with my little
daughter, but I'm also really a
hardcore criminal?
I love that show. I do too.
It's just great making that voice.
Mick Jagger has like his bonejackers.
And they're just like this, this crew of like
gray stormtroopers that have laser guns
that never really hit anything.
Yeah, again, by the way, laser guns in 2009.
It happened, man.
Well, that's kind of the weird thing about this movie.
And, like, I think John Shea,
Lois and Clark's Lex Luthor,
explains that he's like,
this is how the future is everybody.
You've got the people at the top,
you've got the people on the bottom,
but there's nobody in the middle.
And that's what the production design is
in this entire movie.
It's like it's either shithole nothing
or it's like bubble cars and laser boats.
Yeah, why can't I just,
get a nice shot of like a raised
ranch house somewhere. You know what I
mean? A nice quaint three
bedroom, two and a half bath.
No, it's either squalor
or palatial estates.
What's his face? Romero
did that in that land of the dead. It's the exact
same thing. Replacing Mike
the cleaner with
Dennis Hopper, though, that's a trade up.
No offense to Jonathan Banks, but that's a
trade up. Placing freejacks with zombies.
That's a trade up.
Man, how fucking
unfortunate would it be if like
you accidentally free jacked a zombie
here's a good question
trade up or trade down
from Emilio Estevez to John Leguizama
which way are you going there
Wait wait because John Legu Zama's in Land of the Dead
Oh right right
For acting or who I would I rather freejacked
I mean bone jack
Who would you rather bone and or free jack
You know boneberry kill or whatever
BoJack
Or screwjack or screwjack?
Yes.
Or the less popular yellow jack.
Bojack, freejack or say jack.
It's annoying because the outcome's always two different people and then Pat Say Jack.
And he's always wasted.
I would not trade for Pat Sayjack any of those times.
I guess Emilio Estav as most definitely I think has to be the answer.
Yeah, he's better.
I just can't suffer John Leguizamo in anything.
Anything under the sun.
I don't think there's been one thing where I'm like,
you know, John Leguizama was okay in that.
I mean, anything?
No.
No, right?
Well, we could talk about Emilio Estevez because he's the star of this movie
and this movie we're doing in an episode.
That's probably a good idea.
I mean, he, I think he's a,
Charlie Sheen's the better actor.
I mean, it goes, you got your Martin, you got your Charlie,
you got Emilio, and then you got that weird twin
that looks like, I don't even know.
Wait, what?
Is there another one?
Martin Sheen's like brother.
Joe Estabas.
Oh, yes.
From Soul Taker.
Yo, all right, I'll take Joe Estabez.
He's got a list of credits I can get behind.
I mean, these movies are so crazy.
But I mean, I just feel like he's,
Emilio Estabez is fine.
Like, he's great in the breakfast club.
Comedic and stuff, he's a little bit better.
He cannot play a hard ass at all.
No, and that's what, I mean, I think he's great.
in comedies.
Yeah, I think Loaded Weapons
are really hilarious movie.
Yeah, he's funny in that.
He's pretty good in those
stakeout movies.
I like him in those.
The Mighty Ducks movies are fine.
Who cares?
But he's not an action star
in any capacity.
You know, at least not a tough action star.
Action comedy?
Sure, I'll get behind that.
But yeah, it's just,
you're supposed to be like,
all right, one, he's a race car driver,
which I guess is okay.
I can accept that part.
But like, he's shooting people
and pointing Uzi's and Mick Jack
tiger's face and it's just not happening.
The weird thing about the Emilio Estevez
non-comedy roles
is he's kind of like
he's always in a car because you got
Repo Man, you've got
this movie and you've got that maximum
overdrive. And men at work is a
garbage truck. He's kind of like a
what do you call it a little happy meal toy with a
different little car every time. Which
I would love that set by the way.
You got Emilio in a garbage
truck? Emilio in a
flying alien
Cadillac or whatever, Harry Dean Stanton's driving around
in that movie. By the way, I'm excited for that to come on
Criterium Blu-ray. That'd be a great toy. It'd be just like this little
Cadillac hot wheel that glows in the dark. Yeah, totally.
And this one is him and like Mick Jaggers in his dumb little tank
and he's got a little bobblehead. Mick Jagger kind of is like a
bobblehead anyway. He does. You know, if you got that
character in the Happy Meal, it would be like when you ask your mom to ask the
McDonald's attendant for a different toy and you're like, just
Tell her I already have this one.
It's, I mean, so the first real thing, like, he gets, you know, he's looking around, he goes to his old apartment and like in every futuristic future gone wrong movie, a black family lives there, which is, I don't get that.
It always rubs me the wrong way.
Wait, what the fuck are you doing in my house?
And it's like, well, they just live.
It's the future, man.
They just moved in.
It's fine.
That's the other thing.
It's also, I mean, it's shitty because they.
The future's way too progressive for my taste.
They bring in all the whole, you know, like economic part of it, which.
which is really shitty.
But the other coin, the other side of that coin is like,
look, it's been 18 years.
What if René Russo's just banging a black guy now?
Amelia Westefez is like, how dare you open this door?
I don't understand it.
It's like, it's always like, oh my God, the future is not what I expected.
Like, so black guy lives in the house?
That would be great if René Russo was behind that door too.
And the dude just like turns there.
He's like, Julie, you know, this clown.
It would be.
Kind of a better movie.
But no, of course, it's like, it's some other family.
And of course, the guy's got a sawn off shotgun that he points in his face.
Like, get out of here, Turkey.
And you're like, oh, man.
And the wife is like, oh, I know where that woman lives.
She moved out of here years ago.
I don't know what the fuck lives in my apartment before they did.
Because he's like, oh, I'm looking for Julie so-and-so.
And she's like, oh, well, she hasn't lived here for years.
I'm like, what business is it of yours?
What's great is the lady starting?
to put together and she's just like oh my god he's a free jack no that's impossible i was with her here
this morning oh my god he's a free jack what we can't help you can anybody help you get away i'll call
central now move now all right the whole the world of body jacking or bone jacking rather and being a free jack
question I have right so she's like oh my god he's a free jack you know Henry close the door
whatever you know this this is what I want to ask is like the whole thing of a free jack
getting away such a huge problem that society knows like oh my god one he must be a free jack
and two I'm going to be reprimanded for harboring a free jack I can't let him into my house
How many times are other, you know, Emilio Estevez is breaking away from Mick Jagger's clutches?
I think I just cracked this nut.
And I believe that we were talking earlier about JFK, possibly being the first free Jack.
Jack Kennedy, free Jack.
They got Jack Kennedy, blasted him into the future.
And I'm not going to go along with that.
And then he was the first free Jack.
And that's why the term is so popular because you had an ex-president running around
the streets blowing people to hell.
So Jack Kennedy was like that monkey at the end of Planet of the Apes who says no, that
rise of the planet of the Apes.
Jack Kennedy was like, Ira, no, I will not be your body double.
Yes.
That's what you say?
I want to see that movie.
I'd like to see that free Jack.
Jack Kennedy and a talking chimp just going around trying to take down Anthony Hopkins and
Mick Jagger, way better movie.
I think it has as much to do with the sci-fi source material as this project does.
Whatever bullshit novel this is written off of.
You know, some 1950s book that's kind of essentially just about time travel.
I think it's called Immortality, Inc.
Yeah, you know, and it's like time travel as a business, but that's pretty much where it stops.
So, yeah, so he goes to that apartment, gets shot out by those people and seeks refuge in a church where we meet, what I think to be one of the most annoying.
character actors working today, Amanda Plummer, playing a hard
apple nun. I like Amanda Plummer. I think that she's
got an off-kilter sensibility. I think
she's great in Pulp Fiction. I give her a pass on everything. And so
I married an ex-murderer. Steve's just like,
you know what, guys, she's always playing the same bipolar chick. It's
great. In this Congress of We Hate Movies, I will abstain
my vote on Amanda Plum. Oh, wow.
Sit Downs.
So he goes to this church and passes out
And not even in the wretched year of 2009
Can you find sanctuary anymore?
Because she's like, does she pull a gun on him right here?
She does.
She's a big old nun with a gun.
Mother Superior Exposition comes in
And it's like, okay, you're a free jack.
This is how it goes.
You got to get your three tokens.
I mean, I don't even know what the hell.
The point is he just has to outlast Mc Jagger in this movie.
Well, that's the thing.
There's really no.
kind of goal like he's trying to find the person who bought his body right but there are some stakes
here also for the antagonist that is anthony hopkins because he's in the spiritual switchboard
which Jesus Christ is you know he uploads via the Jesus Christ uh colon backslash computer and he's in
this grid that's like some type of internet and he's only there for 36 hours they need to get a nice
jack in that seat
within that time. Do you
think, so Mick Jagger
comes into the
where Anthony Hopkins consciousness
is being held, right?
And, you know, you can communicate with him.
Like, he communicates throughout this whole movie
electronically. It's kind of like Ghost in the Machine.
And, you know, Mick Jagger
walks in, he's like, hey man,
uh, totally lost Emilio Estevez.
Like, it's just, it's not going to happen. But guess what?
I have this really cool Chinese
guy that we just bone jack
you think anthony hopkins is
having a problem with that
I hope not being the body of
a Chinese man
I think he would have a problem with it
oh that's
one vote you'll pass
where is anthony
I mean this is right this is right before
Silence of the Lamb no this is his
first theatrical film after
playing Hannibal Lecter
it must have been filmed before
you know right
before he got not
nominated.
Ah, I mean, it's possible.
Do you think they reject him into this movie?
Where am I?
His contract reject him.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if this was a movie that was kind of shelved and then maybe
released when he won the Oscar kind of a thing.
But I mean, this is right there.
Like, when this movie came out, I mean, he had been Hannibal Lecter already.
He could have done Hannibal Lecter and then immediately booked this afterwards before
it was released.
Yeah, not knowing what was going to happen.
I mean, he also, I mean,
There's no way in hell he didn't just film this role in a day.
There's just, yeah, it's mostly him doing, like, like, video, talking into the camera stuff.
Yeah, Vid phone.
Yeah, he's talking into his Vid phone.
Yeah, please.
So that's like, he's doing those in one take because he's Anthony Hopkins and he's a professional.
He's just like, change my time, we'll do the next one.
You know what I mean?
Like, that kind of thing.
And by the way, yeah, the whole thing with him is he owns this big corporation that has developed the bone jacking technology, among other things.
It's one of those corporations, like I said, it's got a finger in a lot of pies.
and he is Renee Rousseau's boss.
René Rousseau, we come to find out,
is this very high-powered businesswoman in 2009.
She's really made something of herself.
Honestly, probably wouldn't have gone that way
if she stayed with that deadbeat race car driver.
Well, that's the weird thing with this movie,
is it also kind of thinks that that's a bad thing?
Like, the fact that she works for this bullshit fucking corporation
and she's not living in a fucking squat, makes her a bitch.
And it's like, I think that's fine.
Well, I mean, it's sort of like this socioeconomic.
economic complaint that this movie has against her is that she lives down at battery park
in like this this fancy skyscraper while only part of the city is in this normal zone and the
rest of it's like escape from new york yeah what's kind of ironic about this 2009 new york city is
that if you look at that map i think like the golden part of town is just everything below 14th street
which isn't necessarily true some of those areas below 14th street well
you know, the more and more rich
people move to the city every day and they
just, that's what they do, man.
So this is 2009 was like
when gentrification really hit a peak.
I kind of got freejacked out of New York.
I live in New Jersey now.
You got freejacked right out of this town.
You know, it's true.
The rent is too damn high.
I could have to freejack that
joke back to 2008.
You know, if anyone
wants to swoop in here
and joke jack
some of these, go for him.
So he meets up with this pal Buster
Poindexter. Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah. So, like, he's like, oh, hey, it's you.
Oh, my God. You totally got freejacked.
Like, everybody, no one's shocked
about the freejacking. Everyone's like, oh, look, it's
a free jack. Like, yeah, totally. Buster
Poindexter acts like he saw him
yesterday. Yeah. Oh, come on
in, Emilio. And you're just like,
really? Not any kind of like,
hey, man, where are you been?
You're a living ghost.
like nothing
that would be great
if it's just like
someone gets like
oh man you're a free Jack
blah blah blah blah
and this is like
turns out he was just a ghost
he's a ghost the whole time
that would be a great twist ending
he actually died
yeah
and he's just been a ghost
the whole time
that's somehow tangible
yeah that time
in the jewelry store
when he breaks the mirror
that his wife's looking at
that's because he was a ghost
Buster Poindex has got a bullshit thing
where he lives in a slum
But he's kind of like a low level criminal
So he's got like a stack of boxes
That's actually like a Murphy bed
Type situation
Like it's a fold down wall
And he's like
You know in this kind of society
You just got to keep all your worldly possessions
Out of harms away
And I'm like oh he's a secret rich man
That's cool
And this wall comes down
And it's kind of just the same apartment
On the other side
It's got one of those
like a blue liquid like bouncing back and forth kind of things.
Behind the false walls where I keep my swans and dinners.
There's a lot of cartons of like cool cigarettes hanging around.
And he lives in, this is for our New York listeners, this will make sense.
He lives in Park Slope, the neighborhood of Brooklyn, which has been just dilapidated to the point where it looks like the set of Deadwood, but it has porno theaters.
It is Deadwood with 3D porn.
theaters. Oh, yeah, they're 3D
nudes. Jim J. Bullock would love that.
That's not his name. What's his name in that movie?
Seth Bullock, isn't it? Yes.
Yeah, there you go. Who's Jim J. Bullock?
That's the guy that used to be on...
He runs the Daily Bugle in New York City.
It's Joe to Jameson.
Oops. Jim J. Bullock played Monroe
on Too Close for Comfort.
Oh, my God. Yeah, you're right.
Yeah. We'll watch them Too Close for Comfort. Is that on Netflix?
I don't think so. That's too bad.
So back to this movie.
You can see, by the way, I mean, this is a movie where we're just going a little tangent heavy
Because seriously, it's bone jacking, eight car chases, and then the end of the movie.
That's really all we're dealing with here.
The one thing, the thread is, and it should be, it should be your Jean Valjean and your whatever the fuck fat Russell Crow is in that movie.
Oh, Judge Dredd.
Yes, Jean Valjean and Judge Tread.
the classic Victor Hugo
pairing. That
lay miserable
Les miserables. His name is
Javert Javert yeah. It should be that
right like it's just he's chasing them up
and down and you know what I mean like and they hate
each other's fucking guts and that should be kind of
the core of the movie that they're on opposite ends
even they could be friends but they're not because they hate each other so much
yeah you know I would have loved actually if this movie ended with Mick
Jagger thrown him into whatever fucking water
cesspool that was. That is
the suicide of the century.
Russell Crow in that movie. He just bites it on
that thing. Thud. Oh man. Take that
Javert. Whoa. Spoilers.
Spoilers from a fucking
20-year-old musical. And quite
possibly the best picture of the year
by the time this releases. Yeah, actually,
that's true. Possibly not.
So Buster Poindexter
takes
Emilio
to this park slope
bar and uh you can really tell we're in a dystopian time period because the only signs on the walls
for the only beer ads on the walls are shafer and schlitz yeah schaefer and schlitz only visible
beer labels in a park slope bar you know what you could bone jack me 25 years of the future if
that's the case keep bone jacking me until until microbrews come back just a holdover
I mean, you know, I like Schlitz and Schaefer as much as the next person needs an emergency backup can of beer in the back of the fridge.
But, you know, if it's a society where how the fuck did Budweiser lose out to those people?
I mean, this truly is a wretched society.
Franchise wars, man.
We've seen them in demolition, man.
Oh, man.
Those fast food wars that Taco Bell somehow won.
Yeah, so it's just Taco Bell and Schlitz and Schlitz and Schaefer are the only ones left Duke in it out anymore.
So I guess then the state of Wisconsin is the only place that's allowed to brew beer anymore.
That's right.
There's an American purity law and they also manufacture helmets.
It's like a little oasis in this Midwestern death desert.
So in the shock of the century, Buster Poindexter turns out not to be a reputable person.
What are you talking about?
With a voice like this, how can I possibly be crooked?
How can I be human garbage?
Go sit out, Emilio.
I'm just going to make a phone call.
And he, of course, calls Mick Jagger and the Bone Jacket Brigade.
1-800 Bone Jacker.
The Bone Jacker tip line?
Let me handle this, please.
Red, I got to talk to her.
Listen, man, these things can see you.
They can hear you.
Your voice goes out of one of these lines you're done for.
Now, trust me.
But he's like, he's saying to him, like, listen, I'm going to call René Russo.
You can't use the phone.
because if your voice goes over these futuristic telephone lines,
they'll catch you in a second.
And he calls Mc Jagger.
He calls the cops and whatever.
And there's a big struggle.
All the Bone Jackers show up.
And he's like,
oh,
you rated me out.
And like,
you'd figure either Emilio Estevez would kill Buster point Dexter or Mick Jagger's crew.
Yeah,
that makes sense, right?
But he was just kind of messing with this hobo's lunch,
like trying to be in a dick.
And the guy pulled out a gun and shot him in the chest.
Fuck was my plate of beans, will you?
He spilled some of the grueler slop on him or something
And it just takes him out
It just kills him.
Just shoots him dead.
Well, you know, he's kind of a dick to him when they walk in though
Because he's kind of flirting with this waitress.
And then like he does pick food off this dude's plate.
So that hobo by 2009 law has every right to assassinate him.
Yeah, I mean they are in Deadwood, Brooklyn.
So he's dead.
And now we're just in another.
This a series of car chases
And a motorcycle chase.
Motorcycle car.
It's a low speed motorcycle chase.
It's like Emilio Estevez for the first three quarters of this chase is on foot, outrunning motorcycles down alleys.
That is the level of high octane we're reaching with this movie.
And, you know, he commandeers a car and like he's kind of talking to Mick Jagger via a laptop.
And like it's a stupid thing where he keeps.
closing the laptop and Mick Jagger
keeps making it pop open from somewhere else
trying to get rid of me, eh?
Not going to happen today. And it's like, oh my God,
shut up. These like
1990s filmmakers, it was like
yeah, by the time of 2009
rolls around, sure laptops can pop open
on command. What are you crazy?
We're going to get tired of opening these
computers with our hands. They predicted
Skype. So blah, blah, blah,
big motorcycle chase. He makes
his way into a car and then
it's a car versus tank race.
and he finally gets to
Renee Rousseau's apartment building
and breaks in.
He got her home address off a Poindexter there.
And it's just, you know, it's like,
she thinks that he's whoever bone jacked him
and she's like, you know, don't just cut.
So I guess that must happen is like,
you look through the sexual history of whoever you bone jacked.
You're like, hey, maybe I can make this happen
and you just go visit.
Also, a big problem with this movie is
Renee Rousseau and Buster Poindexter,
Need age makeup, but they don't have it because it's 20 years in the future.
How on earth was this skipped over?
And it's not like we're complaining like they did a poor job and we're being picky about it.
Literally nothing has happened to these people in 18 years.
You couldn't even put fucking baby powder and Buster Poindex's hair.
No, there's no sign of like older hair, no like fake crow's feet or anything.
Maybe it's Mabelene.
Do you think it's one of those things they didn't really like.
maybe it's a deleted scene
where it's like, you know, like Brazil.
By the time 2009 rolls around
like, you know, like cosmetic surgery
is just like through the roof rate.
That's what it has to be.
And I'm guessing that these old rich men
probably live to like 200
before they need a good bone jack.
Yeah, I mean, who knows what's going to happen in 2009?
I guess we could just all speculate.
Just sit around and speculate
at the magical, wonderful year of 2009.
It was just, it was a far.
off dream to these people.
Like, they're sitting around making this movie like,
well, we're all going to be dead by then, right?
So who cares?
You'll be 41.
Like, what do you think?
Jeez, might as well be bone jacks.
I just don't understand it.
She'll only get bone jacked before I'm 40.
So she starts freaking out and, you know,
calls security on him and everything.
And then Jagger shows up again.
And then, yeah, and then exactly,
Jagger shows up again.
And we're just back in another chase.
scene it's just yeah i mean like that's the problem with this movie it's just a soggy middle of
it's cat and mouse but it's not the action isn't really choreographed very well there's not a lot
of thought about what the future is you know what i mean it's just the really the only thing this
movie's got going for it is like who who really is behind it all but obviously it has to be
anthony hopkins from scene one you know that he's behind this entire bone jacking scandal there's
no reason to keep it a secret the the three the three the three the
three twists at the last parts of this movie are one
Jonathan Banks is more evil than he said out to be
big fucking surprise Anthony Hopkins is on top and
Mick Jagger's kind of best pals with Emilio Estabez
yeah that one is probably the most surprising but I mean
the Jonathan Banks thing too it's out of nowhere where he's like
by the way Walter if Anthony Hopkins doesn't get into
Emilio's body then I'm going to somehow
be the head of this corporation.
And you're like, oh, so, oh, it's a power play?
Well, whatever, because that's the other thing, right?
This is how this Mick Jagger, Emilio Estevez's friendship blossoms because Jonathan Banks,
being crooked like he is, hires mercenaries to go and, like, counterstrike Mick Jagger's
squadron and wipe them all out.
And Emilio Estevez, for no reason, saves Mick Jagger's life at the end of one of these
car chase slash shootouts
which is really ridiculous
I mean this guy's been hunting you
from day one and he
drives around in a candy red
apple tank
and he I mean
you should have just killed Jagger
there. Kill Jack him
yeah you gotta kill Jack him
well because what is that setting up
so like oh he's our grand hero
so he's not going to take a level what is he
fucking Batman just kill this guy
exactly they're like giving him like a higher
sense of like moral being
or whatever and they're also playing up that
stupid like oh well we both
respect each other so much even though
we're fighting each I hate that
what happens what if at the end
of no country for old man Antron Sugar
just comes up to fucking Josh Bulls like
hey want to go get a beer instead of fight
each other and like they just go
and just hang out somewhere isn't that
a better movie? No of course not
they need to be at odd but here's the thing
is at least with that is
they know like
In No Country of Old Men, Woody Haraldson's character knows of Harvey Bardem's characters, like,
sorted history.
So there can maybe be some type of like, well, I, you're so good at what you do type of thing.
But this, they just, Mick Jagger and Milo Estabez met the other day.
Like, why would you have a respect for each other?
He's just another freejack, man.
Yeah, totally.
It's just another free jack.
You've presumably, because you are billed as like the best freejack bounty hunter in the whole world.
you've done this before
he's an Excel spreadsheet that you never
you forgot to click save on now he's running around
town you gotta get him professional
bone jacker
and he calls
towards the start of the movie when Emilio
initially gets away he
he tells his troopers to get
the meat
yeah okay get the meat
this this movie takes place
total tops over 48 hours
it feels like fucking 48 hours
I'll tell you that much
there's no way
this dude's going from mate
to Best Buds
were winking at each other as you let him
go at the end of this movie.
Because by the way, he literally just
lets him drive off into the sunset
with Renee Rousseau. It makes
no goddamn sense. And it just
guts this movie. I mean, like, he's like,
I mean, he's not a great character and
Mick Jagger's a pretty terrible actor. So like,
there's not, but like he, if there is a
cool character in this movie, if you're trying to make
a cool character, it's Mick Jagger.
And the way you keep him cool is
became as a villain. They definitely wanted
to make him a cool character. Yeah.
Oh, without a doubt. What was his name again in this movie?
Oh, that's right. Vesendac.
Vesndac. It's me.
Hello, it's me. Vesndac.
You're bored yet?
And everybody is calling him
Vicendac. Everybody knows who
Vesendac is. He's a
citywide figure. That's his name.
He has a red
tank. Yeah, he's
supposed to be a cool guy. He's like
Ray Kelly,
if he was a rock star, the chief of police
of New York. I don't care if
your name's Vesendak. I'm going to call
you Walter regardless.
The only way I could access this
impression. I refuse
to
I refuse to pronounce
Polish last name, Walter.
You're Walter
White. How about that
Vesendac? You know what?
You just did it. You know what,
grandpa, you call me Walter one more time.
I am leaving today.
look Walter who's going to provide for your future
your deadbeat mother
that we don't really know too much about
on this show
I don't get that
what's with Mike the Cleaner's mother or daughter
she's just you know she's figuring it out
you think they had a falling out
because he drops her off that one time
and he's like say goodbye
Walter
it really is the only way
I could sort of drop into doing that voice
is saying Walter
I mean the third act
Now we're the third act of this movie
I want to quickly touch on something is
There's not many of them in this movie
Of the action star quip
But at one point
A bonejacking Stormtrooper
Falls upon
Emilio's car
And he does this maneuver
To throw the guy from the car
And he says
Mom told me to never pick up hitchhikers
Oh classic movie
move. And you could just tell because
Emilio Estevez's voice is just a little
too high to pull it off. It's like
this guy's not destined for action movie
stardom. Well, okay, let me ask you this
though. Everybody caught Emilio
Estevez doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger
impression in this movie, right?
No. He totally quotes
Terminator in this movie.
He's yelling at Mick Jagger and he's
in his like, you know, sort of
high crazy Emilio Estevez's voice.
And then he just goes, fuck
you asshole. Oh, yeah.
yeah that's right he does he does the terminator slash commando line in this movie and his last his character's
name is alex furlong i kept thinking about edward fairlong and terminator through the whole thing talk
about wanting to watch another movie while fucking free jacks up holy shit another great thing that
they set up in this movie is that uh they actually give a a price of how much emilio stevese is worth
this is exorbitant he's the ten million dollar man
$10 million for this guy.
That's how much Anthony Hopkins doesn't
want to live in a Chinese man's body.
I mean, wouldn't you want somebody
that's 5-8? Like, literally,
if you're going to spend 10 million
bucks, I'm going to get
LeBron James. That's a great...
It's perfect. I'll finally get into
my crawl space.
I'm like, I always wanted to be a...
The next hundred years, it'll be a little man,
you know? Just getting
into things. Well, okay. You
own the company that does,
is bone jacking so you're probably
if not getting it for free maybe
an employee discount that's pretty sweet
but if you are paying it it's not
cheap right like you're stealing
someone from the past
and putting your consciousness into
their body pretty heavy price
tag yeah so on top of that
stupid Vesendac lets this dude
escape now you got to throw out
another 10 million dollars
the way of the way
the way he's like just goes
under things all the time
The FedEx got a big net.
They just go, whoop.
Now, and this is also something that's stupid.
Like, $10 million is a lot of money, too, idiot, you know, people like us.
But to McAnlis, who pretty much owns the city slash America, maybe, that's not a lot of money.
Why wouldn't you at least have a backup?
If you're like, this is the day, I got to do my bone jacking, get a backup.
Oh, you know, I think part of it is, and this is kind of in the movie, and I'm not making this up entirely,
is that he wants to be with Rene Rousseau.
And he knows that she's got a thing.
So it's like kind of, it's like being...
She's got a thing for that guy.
That dead guy.
Like, it's kind of like being...
You're the creepiest boss in history.
Like, you can't even make it happen
just because you're the rich old guy at work.
So you have to like steal some young man's body
that she used to bang.
That's great.
Now, the next, you know, if the next girl you meet,
you like her, what you should do is just steal the body
of her ex-boyfriend.
and then put your mind into it.
I mean, I can understand Anthony Hopkins logic, but like seriously, he just walks in like, hello, Jew, remember me from 18 years ago?
And she's like, oh, that boyfriend I had, like, you have to have details down pretty hardcore.
This theory is a lot better than my theory, which was that Anthony Hopkins is a fan of long, deceased, amateur, funny car racers.
He's been them all.
just cycling through them number three rip so uh he jumps off
emilio estuvez that is jumps off the manhattan bridge at one point in a big detour that
this movie takes for some reason and i want to talk about it really quickly because it sets
up a really stupid thing that never really gets paid off in this movie so he washes
ashore which you know jumping into that east river in 2009 like even mcjack
It's like, if he swallows any of that water, he's dead.
And I'm like, yeah, that's right.
They got 2009 right there.
But I mean, or, I mean, look how bad that water would be in this post-apocalyptic New York.
Mr. McAnlis, I'm calling it off.
He's got herpes.
He's got to have herpes.
You're going to find some other racer that, some other wacky racer that died.
Maybe Snithely Whiplash.
That would be the perfect body.
It's a little taller than Emilio Estab.
Could you bone jack that dog to put Jonathan Bakes in him?
Woof, woof, Walter.
So he watches a show in Brooklyn and he runs across character actor Frankie Faison.
Also, his biggest movie since playing the orderly in Silence of the Lambs.
And Frankie Faison is kind of this, you know,
prophetic homeless man who's eating grilled river rat because that's the future and it's either
rich people or poor people eating dead rats and he's he reveals that somehow and again this
makes no sense but somehow over the course of his short adventure in 2009 amelio estuvese has
become a modern day folk hero to the poor people of new york city why what why
Why?
24-hour news cycle.
They got to print something, I guess.
I don't get it either.
What is he inspiring?
He's a white guy.
He could get away from the mega money men.
Right, but the whole thing is the reason why they're not bonejacking people in present day,
as Buster Poindexter explains in his expository monologue, is because, again, in just a short 18 years,
the ozone's been completely eradicated from the planet.
So everyone's got a bunch of health problems.
So he's like, it's pointless to bonejack a person who lives in the present day because they're so fucking disgusting and riddled with diseases.
That's bullshit, man.
If I was Anthony Hopkins, I would get a bunch of babies and raise them until like they're like, you know, like two or three.
Well, you know, you have people to do that.
Anthony Hopkins baby farm.
Yeah.
And then you put yourself into a baby, you know?
I mean, you still have your mind and everything.
How annoying would that be, though?
If your adult consciousness went into a baby and you're just pissing and shitting yourself and you can't talk or you can talk and then you're a creepy talking baby, which nobody wants to deal with.
Baby genius, man, sign me up.
You'd be fucking butcher.
They would be like, holy shit, this is a mistake from God and kill you.
What's the mistake?
A talking baby who sounds like Anthony Hopkins, but he's still shitting his pants.
It's a mistake.
I don't think that's God.
I think that's Satan.
But I would totally do it.
That'd be great because then, I mean, think of how powerful you will be once you come into your own again.
Eric Siska's baby farm, I guess.
Baby Jack.
Is that creepier to Jack babies?
I mean, yes, it's creepier to Jack baby.
At least they haven't had a life yet, you know?
It's not like I'm taking anything that they've experienced.
Apropos of nothing, which is the subtitle of this episode, is I was looking at a catalog
from the 92nd Streetwide the other day, and one of the classes or courses they offer is baby massage.
And I've been sitting on this for a while, because I find it really disturbing and weird.
Why is the description?
It's just like, you know, come with your baby.
I got to bring my own baby.
You're going to provide the baby.
for this baby massage or what?
Like, what the fuck's a baby got to be tense for?
Unless they're Anthony Hopkins.
Yes.
You know what?
Sign me up.
Put me to baby.
Give me a massage.
Thank you, 90 seconds.
Street Wife are offering this course.
My baby's constantly tearing muscles on the uneven bars.
What the fuck do you need to massage a baby for?
Well, they're in taxis and everybody's a little tense.
Well, maybe it's a thing if, like, your baby has some sort of health problems, then
they're like maybe it's justified but you know what just don't call it baby massage okay everybody
you could check that out that's a real thing and it's gross and it's weird
steve say an ex baby massage real eric siska's baby farm not just yet maybe in 2009 you can
have a baby exactly i'm holding out for that other dimensional 2009 so he's a folk hero
and it comes to nothing because no one ever brings it up ever again.
And, I mean, it's not even like anyone gives a shit aside from Mick Jagger.
So, like, yeah, he saves Mick Jagger.
And now Mick Jagger's kind of on his side, but still kind of going after him because he's like, he's a guy.
Like, you know nothing else about Mick Jagger.
So he's defined by his job.
So he has that, that he's nothing.
He's just a shark.
He has to continue hunting or he'll die.
Yeah.
And one place where they track him down is at 42nd and 8th Avenue, which is this, this like,
club called Industrial Revolution and it's basically
it's a little weird it's a little weird club well this is what's kind of stupid it's your
standard future bar it's a it's a future bar slash gay club if uh you know your society is so
terrible now right with like there's no ozone and everybody's got health problems why would
you name your club like after an era where there was nothing but fucking black lung and child
labor, death. Because we can relate to it
and we like putting gears on the walls.
Because we have fun here. It's like
fucking Fridays. And yeah,
of course, it's like, again,
it's 18 years of the future.
And of course, we're drinking fucking Romulan
ale because it's so out of control.
It's totally Romulan ale. It's
blue and it fucks you up real good.
It doesn't make any sense. Like,
it's, there's no way
time changes that quickly, everybody.
Maybe by 2009, we would have
made first contact with the Romulan
empire. Oh, that's true.
You know what? Maybe first contact
split our dimension, too. We're just in this
bullshit 2013, which is
boring. I know. And then you got the
Romulan 2009, and you got
the Borg one.
So we're in the Borg one
where we're not lucky enough to have baby
farms. That's what you're saying.
Yep. We got the baby massage
I did the stick. There is a
God damn you, 90
seconds for you. Why? What is that?
There is a great sex
seen in this movie between, of course, Emilio Estevez and René Russo, where he finally convinces
her that he's not Anthony Hopkins or whoever she thinks he is. And there's a great line where
like he tries to make a move and she's sort of not having it. And she just goes, I watched
you die. And then he, without saying anything, grabs her face and they just get it on. And
totally awesome sexy saxophone is playing.
I watched you die
There's actually
There's actually a sexy saxophone in this movie that you think that's like oh yeah they're just laying that's like oh yeah they're just laying that on there that's great
And then I saw a hobo with a saxophone.
You got homos in the bedroom?
Oh, maybe, yeah.
Well, that's like the ultimate thing for the rich, right,
is that you can subjectate a homeless person so much
that they have to play the saxophone
while you have sex with somebody.
My name's Joe.
I live in the closet.
I play the sex.
Emilio gives an interview on television at that club I was talking about.
Then they can find them again
because all the, you know, the ding-dongs go off
in the, in the,
bone jacker lab and they're like oh we traced him he he's at this club because his ringer went off
and then they go down you know they they go to chase him again so we get more chasing him again what
i love about what those exchanges were at the bone jacker headquarters was like hey i found him boss
oh really what piece of sophisticated technology did you use to track him down oh nothing he's
doing a television interview right now and he's all drunk because he's like pissed on this romulan
and he's just like, my name's
Emilio Aceviz, and I'm a
race car driver, and I'm also
a free jack. Whipty
fuck. I'm sitting there like
all right, like I know you're drunk,
but really, you're giving away every
detail of who you are.
Yeah, I mean, your character name
is supposed to be Alex Furlong.
I couldn't think
of what it was.
And I mean, like, Mitch Jack's like, oh,
good, because I was standing here doing
nothing, because he's just, every
time he's not
thrown that he loves the good stand
prolog has it thrown
to him he's got no move
he's not some like fucking brilliant
detective and now we wait
like esai morales
is like hey boss i tracked him down
and mick jagger is literally
playing video games over in the
corner he's like that's pong
2009's great
oh what you found him i have to go back
to work all right it's weird at this
this 2009 that video
game technology stalled to a
crawl.
He is playing a really
shitty video game.
Also, by the way, great scene where we
finally discover that Jonathan Banks
is more crooked than we'd realize
is he somehow is able to bring
in Amanda
Plummer's Nunn character
again. And it's a lot of like,
now Walter, tell me where
the free jack is. And she just
kicks him in the balls.
Classic ball kick. Man,
is a big old nut kick.
They focus on this for a while.
It's like 10, 15 seconds of him
just heave it about his nuts.
And he does the classic Jerry Lewis
I cross gag. It's like
one of the surf ninjas kicked him
in the balls.
There is a huge tone problem with this
movie because it's like it's trying to be
gritty in this like cool
sci-fi thing. But it goes for like
such dumb gags and
like Arnold impressions.
Yeah, I don't get why we need so much
goddamn comedy in this movie.
And it's bad. Attempts at comedy. Yeah, it's not good
comedy. Because Emilio
can't handle. We've seen, we've
evidence he can handle a comedy.
So third act of this movie, they get to the
top of the fucking tower
which is, it's kind of
awkward because
it's located where the World Trade
Center was and this building
kind of looks like the Freedom Tower.
It's actually next. Is it right
next door? Yes, because the
twin towers are standing in
2009. I don't know if you guys knew that, but they're still up.
Then there's the giant like Freedom Tower thing.
It's like McCandless Corporation Tower, but it looks exactly like the Freedom Tower.
You think those, uh, those, those mafia connected architects that design the Freedom Tower,
watch this movie and they were like, yeah, that'll do.
I'll do a Free Jack, the Freedom Tower.
We're going to inject that building from the fake year 2009.
And then they, they zap that building from that fake world into the real world.
Sort of like how King Cooper did it.
Yeah, it took a pit stop in the King Cooper dimension and it took a left into our world.
I mean, it's just the, it's your standard, I guess standard.
It's we're all in the tower together and like everyone's going to sit you down and tell you what the movie's been about this whole time.
So like, John of the bank's like, all right, Walt, they're sitting.
sit down. I got a really long story to tell you, which you clearly could not give a shit about,
but I used to be a cop. So listen to me. He just goes on and on about like, you know, now I'm going to,
you know, once he's dead, then I could take over the corporation. God knows what. And, uh,
you know, this guy was beating up on his girlfriend. And I had to keep going over then. She didn't
want to press charges, Walter. And he gets out and he sings Danny Boy. And it just,
just rubbed me raw.
All right, everyone press pause and go watch Breaking Band, the entire series, and then come back.
Get that fix and come back.
Yeah, so he's like, all right, you know, here's my whole plan to a degree.
He doesn't let in on this whole head of the corporation thing, but he's like, oh, you're
aiding this free Jack René Russo.
Well, guess what?
You're fired.
Anthony Hopkins wants to talk to you.
And then they go into what is a total ripoff of the X-Men danger room.
Like, they walk in, and it's just this big, like nothing room.
And then all of a sudden, it becomes a whole hologram thing.
And Anthony Hopkins comes in and he's like, by the way, I've been dead the whole time.
And in this hologram world, like, the way the world looks is weird.
There's like clouds are going real quick.
They're like in a weird desert.
To me, I thought it was Saturn from the Beetlejuice movie.
And I thought a sandworm was about to get them.
You imagine if that's how Mick Jagger's character was killed off.
He's just eaten by a digital sandworm.
This movie could use a beetle juice.
It could use a couple of beetle juices.
It needs an anarchic character that's going to stir up some trouble.
That's not fucking Emilio Estavit.
Yeah, you know, an interesting character, I wouldn't mind watching.
It needs both Michael Keaton and the Howard Stern sidekick beetle juice.
All of them.
Both of Beetle juices need to be in this.
movie to save it. Did that other Beetlejuice die? No, that was, uh, that's a shitty Beetlejuice
impression. Uh, no, that was Hank the angry, drunken Dorff passed away. Okay. Beetlejuice is going to
come up from time to time on low, like, D-level direct to DVD horror movies. Yeah, you'll get
that. So, I mean, and now Anthony Hopkins has got a yard to talk to you about, about all of the
things he's done in his life. So many snake oil salesmen in this movie.
So many goddamn life stories that I don't need.
The end of this movie is like that movie Waking Life.
Everyone's just like fucking blurry and just jawing on about shit I couldn't care less about.
It's like, wait, what?
Is this a dream?
Am I in the future, the past?
I don't, am I being jacked?
Yeah, you know, when I sit down to watch my sci-fi action thriller, I want a bunch of philosophical musings about the end of your life.
Thanks a lot, Anthony Hopkins.
I'm sorry, Jew
sorry to deceive you
Mr. Furlong, please believe me
I never meant you any harm either
we took you out of affection of the second
before your death
the process however did not shorten your natural life
What about trying to shorten my unnatural life?
And I always fancied shorter men
I always, I like Napoleon
I like
Mugsy Bokes
My favorite basketball star
Why would you want a guy so short?
I don't get it.
Unless the theory about him wanting Renee Rousseau works out.
So he gives his whole long spiel.
And then he's like, all right, you know, I'm sorry, man.
I can see that you guys are really meant for each other.
Just punch in this code on this keypad and you'll delete me.
Now, Amelia Westavis totally falls for this.
And it's really disappointing because as the star of this action movie, you should know by now,
to trust anyone that's associated with this
corporation. You can't trust the
hired hand bounty hunter in
Mick Jagger. You certainly can't
trust Jonathan Banks as his like
number two guy and whatever.
Why then would you immediately
trust the top of this corporation?
Well, because I guess what else are you
going to do at this point? You're at the final
level in the video game. There's literally
nowhere else for this movie to go. You can't beat up
a hologram.
And I mean, like this should be a race.
Like, he's a race car driver.
Like, maybe it's like, if you can out race me, then you win, Free Jack.
Like something.
Right.
Just turn the bullshit hologram.
Holy shit.
He makes him have a Tron legacy race.
Yeah.
On those awesome neon motorcycles.
Oh, shit.
And daft punk starts playing.
Yes.
You see, Alex, I'll be trapped in the grid unless I get into your body by midnight.
Ah, so he's a big liar.
And then Jonathan Banks comes in and he's like, no, Walter.
I told you that you.
You got to get in his body.
This is getting a bit ridiculous.
And it's like literally a, like,
deffy duck cartoon where, like,
they each have their hand on one, like,
pod and, like, there's a dumb, fake science electricity going.
So much force lightning is happening.
There's some, they fall into an ocean of JPEGs.
I mean, this is, I mean, this movie's 92,
and I believe,
is lawnmower
man's around the same time
Yeah
Lawnmower man
Looks like it was made in
2009 compared to the graphics
And it's a series of
shitty quality JPEGs
Of like
Shots from the movie
Like I guess it's memories
Of Emilio Estevez
Oh and listen to
Emilio Estevez's great action movie
Scream
Stick to
to family-oriented hockey comedies.
So after all this, you see his body
like float into like a black nothing.
René Russo in the middle of it takes a gun
and blows like there's a force crystal
in the middle of it.
It is a force crystal.
She blows Jorella away.
This whole machine goes up.
Anthony Hopkins is deleted from the Matrix.
Well, but the thing is enough time has passed
that there have been bone jacking
transfer is done in that matter
of time. So there's this whole thing that everyone
in the room is like, who is he?
Is he McCandless? Is he
that dumb race car driver?
What's going on? And
this is where Emilio Estevez has
a time to shine as
portray, we were treated to him
playing Anthony Hopkins, trying
to do Anthony Hopkins like
dialogue as this evil character.
Right, but he's playing it as like
I, Emilio Estevez, the actor,
I'm not trying to do an Anthony
Hopkins impersonation so much as I, Emilio Estevez, the actor, am doing like a, this is what a rich
and powerful person sounds like. Say there, René Russo, get in the car. Hey, you, Mick Jagger, bring
the car around first. Like, it's just, it's so unconvincing that if I am Mike the cleaner or
fucking Mick Jagger, I'm instantly like, well, this transfer didn't work and you're still the dumb race car
driver and you know like
Mike the Cleaners are all
Jonathan Banks is like oh I finally won
Walter now I'm the king of the company
and then like Mick Jagger's like
I don't think so I think that's McCandless
and they go through this whole thing and he's like
what's your personal access code
and it's like are you kidding me numbers
yeah okay it's the movie's
over let's just sit around while Emilio
Estevez recites a couple of numbers
for everybody and it's just like you start saying numbers
and like Mick Jagger's like yes that's correct
sorry Mike the cleaner and he blows him away and it's like oh my god it's Anthony Hopkins now I
I guess but because we've seen all the rest of the movie free jack yeah we know that it's obviously
just going to be Amelia west yeah it's like at the end of the day if he's like actually
Anthony Hopkins in there and the transfer worked like that's kind of a redeeming like you know
a negative side to the story you're ending on like okay your movie's got a little bit of stone
attached to it. But in this case, you just
got a Rolling Stone who's fucking talking
Emilio Estevez and pretending
like he doesn't know what's going
on. And
everyone in this movie is fooled,
but the audience. You know what I mean?
And he goes to drive away. And this is the end
of the movie. He tells René Russo to get
in this car and they're going to drive out of
this battery park city compound.
And then Sugar comes up to
Josh Froland is like,
my birthday parties next week.
Would you like to come?
You know, Zool and all the Ghostbusters go out for coffee.
They just decided to call it a draw, you know.
I think Katz's is still open, Zool.
You want to go grab a bite?
So they get to this fucking driveway.
And Mick Jagger's like, you know, hey, just so you know,
you blew it when you decided to drive yourself because apparently Anthony Hopkins is incapable of driving a car.
Yeah, I'm going to live hundreds of years.
Or whatever the fuck.
And I'm never going to learn to drive.
Okay.
And he's like, all right.
I just thought you should know.
That's where you slipped up.
And he like points and he's like,
God's out of the way.
And then it's Serpico and the rest of the New York cops
form of a fucking fantasy football league.
Because that's the kind of movie we're making now.
Why not?
That's the end of it.
Yeah.
And those numbers he recited.
Mick Jagger lied about them.
And because he just spouted nonsense.
I guess. There is no reason for Emilio Estevez to save his life earlier in the movie.
And even if he does, well, fucking foolish you, Emilio Estavis, because this is supposed to be a true villain.
He should be like, oh, you thought we were friends just because you saved my life. Well, guess what? Blammo.
shoots him in the head right in the car. But what would all, I mean, the thing is like, you're transferring Anthony Hopkins mind into Emilio Estabez. Is it that far fetch that maybe some would stay behind? Like,
oh, he would know the number maybe, like, I don't know.
Oh, you're saying, like, some of Anthony Hopkins, like, trickled off.
Yeah, like, why not, right?
That would have been fine, too.
Like, oh, yeah, I got half of his memory or whatever.
That's what I thought kind of happens right away, because when Emilio is, like, getting up off the ground,
he says, like, you know, like, hold on a second or something like that.
And it sounded kind of like they dubbed over Anthony Hopkins.
And I was like, oh, no, is Emilio Estevez just going to have, like, Anthony Hopkins ADR?
for the rest of the movie.
Ew.
Like that Superman 4 with
Oh, yeah.
With that Atomic Man
as Gene Hackman or something?
When Nuclear Man sounds like
Gene Hackman?
I saw a league of their own
the other day
doing a little research
that didn't turn out so well.
And at the end,
this old lady's got
Gina Davis's voice.
It's like the worst version of that.
And it's just like
everyone else like,
hello!
And she's like,
hi, everybody.
I'm Gina Davis.
I'm get the fuck out of here.
Uh, and so the last line that Emilio Estevez has in this movie, well, first to like, Gina, or Gina Davis, geez, uh, Renee Rousseau is like, oh my God, you are Emilio Estabez.
And he brings up the whole like, nibble my ear thing again. And she's like, oh, clever dog. And then he just goes, buckle up.
Let's see if this baby will do. And that's the last line of the movie.
You think Renee Rousseau is then like, okay, a lot of has happened since you died. Um, first off, never.
say that again and
buckle up
buckle up Renee Russo
where we're going we don't need
this is pretty great
the DP of this movie
Ammer Makri
he's this this Iranian
cinematographer who's
was asked to be taken off
this movie which good for this guy
but I just wanted to list off
the credentials for this fella
because it's pretty intense
he's got under his belt
since
since shooting this movie
or some of them are before
Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis
Pacific Heights with
Michael Keaton
whore Ken Russell's whore
He shot that
Then free jack then
It starts going up from here
The Joy Luck Club
Coyote Ugly don't say a word
The Salton Sea
Bad Boys 2
Taking Lives
Lord of War with Nicholas Cage
National Treasure Book of Secrets
With Nicholas Cage
Vantage Point
Fast and Furious
Transformers Dark of the Moon
Season of the Witch with Nicholas Cage
and Man of Steel
So he's got like a 2.3 average
I guess
Out of five stars
Now you see Hollywood is the latter
You know you gotta start at the bottom
And you know you start with your whore
You go up to a free jack
And eventually you can maybe get to a man of steel
And speaking of hilarious credits
Director Jeff Murphy of this film
did Under Siege 2 Dark Territory and Young Guns too.
That is Emilio, all right.
Working again with Amelia.
Hey, Emilio.
Ah, and that's Freejack.
I mean, Jesus, Lord, what a nothing movie disguised as a sci-fi actioneer.
Like, you watch this trailer, you're like, okay, yeah, Freejack, I'll sit down and watch this.
Get ready for really boring car chases.
Yeah, it's kind of my, I mean, I wouldn't recommend this movie.
Yeah, that's where I was going.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's a shame because it's kind of my sweet spot.
Like this is a thing aside for people who have to wear capes is like the kind of movie that I like to watch is like, you know, futuristic dystopia, blah, blah, blah, overly complicated.
You know, these kinds of, you know, your virtuosities I'll watch.
Yeah, that's a real stinker.
That's a stay tuned.
But yeah, there's nothing here.
I actually would recommend it lightly just because I'm a real.
sucker for stupid stuff because I'm stupid about, like, 2009 happened and Free Jack didn't.
So I like watching it just to giggle at it.
Like, oh, like, it's, it's adorable that they thought there'd be lasers.
I think there's a certain degree of seeing as believing with this title.
But, you know, if you get something else better to do, you know, put your shoes on go outside.
I mean, I don't think I would recommend it.
