S2E30.5: Demolition Man
Added 2023-08-23 23:39:55 +0000 UTCIts the final episode of Season 2, and we decided to watch one more Stallone movie just to say goodbye to the big fella himself- And what better than Demolition Man?
We recorded this one at the end of four hours of continuous podcasting and we were all insane and variably inebriated. Enjoy!

THE MOVIES ARE ON STRIKE!
SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are both on strike for a number of reasons, from pay for streaming residuals, to the rights to own your own appearance, to the right to not have AIs trained off your work.
So if you've got a few spare pennies, why not chip in to help keep movies from becoming Shit Forever.

And if you're in the UK, the UCU could still do with some help

At 33:57 Devon swears while saying the buzzer for swearing is always mixed in, and there’s no buzzer for that particular swear. Which they control? Mistake or deliberate? Who watches the watchers ect ect, nice touch, unless it was just a mistake and I’m just over thinking it

2024-12-13 20:44:49 +0000 UTCThe Cocteau plan is standard billionaire psychosis: he gets to shape society to his every whim and make everyone follow his rules, but the 0.1% that don’t kiss his ass are driving him absolutely batshit.

Sublight Monster
2024-06-26 03:17:41 +0000 UTCAs others have said the Stallone as Terminator movie is Last Action Hero, which I remember as being an underrated Arnie movie. It would be good to hear an Arnie season in the future. As well as all the obvious ‘80s action movies, he has True Lies which I’d predict might be the best movie to get the highest Scum score. But other movies like Kindergarten Cop are predicated on the idea that a big dude teaching kindergarten is inherently amusing and unlikely.

2023-10-28 14:02:18 +0000 UTCWatched this film a couple months ago with some friends and I swear the VR sex is stated to be a product of the AIDS crisis, unless I’m misremembering. Like the implication is that the crisis got so bad that physical sex, and indeed physical contact on a wide scale, was outlawed?

2023-08-28 22:39:15 +0000 UTCI was listening on a long drive just yesterday, as I tend to run behind on my podcasts. On the subject of being highly inconvenienced by tragedy, my closest aunt (maternal) lived in an apartment one of the WTC buildings that was neither hit, suffered structural issues, or experienced fire (despite the WTYP episodes, I am not fully familiar with the particulars of every building involved). I am not aware if this was the same building where Mr. Snipes had an apartment. My mother tried to contact her sister all day, but eventually that evening phone lines cleared enough for her to call out to people. She was already on her way to work and in the subway when the planes struck. If I recall, she learned of the attack when she reached her stop and disembarked. I cannot know her thoughts in that moment, but she told us that there was worry for security, a sort of resentment ("Ey, I'm livin' heah"), and a personal sense of relief, as if she dodged a bullet she did not imagine coming. All apartments in her building were unlivable after the collapses for several months (nine for my aunt), as some had smoke damage and all had quite a bit of the famously toxic dust from the WTC towers. I don't think the ironic humor set in for a long time, as my aunt has a more serious personality. However, this worked in her favor, as she has always been particularly timely when it comes to her taxes. 🤓

2023-08-28 19:04:58 +0000 UTCYou guys know that Sylvester Stallone is NOT a terribly big guy, right? Luke, she's bulky AF, obv., but he's like 5'9 TOPS. Like, Abi could just whack-a-mole a bitch.
Aniyunwea Greyotter
2023-08-28 18:31:52 +0000 UTCIn case y'all coulda been wondering, the reason for the Pizza Hut Cut is that in 199whatever (or indeed today, as far as I know) there were no Taco Bell franchises in Europe. So TB didn't want to shell out for the product placement. Pizza Hut did, with minimum redub effort because capitalsim and also who cares, this is not CINEMA, c'mon.

2023-08-26 23:42:24 +0000 UTCWesley Snipes killed in 9/11 would have meant he finished the brilliant Blade 2 but not been in the execrable Blade Trinity so a mercy really.
Nick Fredman
2023-08-26 22:19:18 +0000 UTCBlind Spot alert. Because the hosts were (a) children, and (b) not American; they completely miss that Wesley Snipes is heavily Dennis Rodman coded. And Rodmans's gender stuff and the famous wedding dress would've been great conversation.
Bryce Chambers
2023-08-26 16:18:03 +0000 UTCThe production design joke where Sandra Bullock’s character’s “perfect 20th century apartment” confuses a conversation pit with an in ground pool had me reeling, very motel of the mysteries joke

2023-08-25 17:39:35 +0000 UTCThe topology of Seattle is such that there are a bunch of places that can be evacuated to throughout the city in case of a tsunami. The issue is the earthquake itself.

2023-08-25 17:28:24 +0000 UTCAbi, the "time travel movie" you're thinking of is Last Action Hero - that's where Stallone played Terminator.

2023-08-24 15:06:46 +0000 UTCWhen I think about 80s-90s futuristic design in movies, I remember how Robocop used the Ford Taurus, the sedan my grandma had, as the future cop cars because it was an early example of modern aerodynamic design and it looked so damn different from like, the boxy LTD of the same era.
BarFly
2023-08-24 14:07:38 +0000 UTCextremely funny that in an episode with a swear buzzer, in which the word "pussy" is buzzed and discussed, the phrase "serving cunt" is used by every host multiple times and passes entirely unnoticed

2023-08-24 11:51:47 +0000 UTCThe Pizza Hut Cut revelation made me pause the podcast and walk around, this is so fucking (BUZZZZZ) funny to me I can’t. Like, how was this decision made? Which other things did they consider changing? Was this the inspiration for the 2007 remake of Funny Games?

2023-08-24 10:08:20 +0000 UTCI have a friend who had been working as a temp at Cantor-Fitzgerald financial services in the WTC on 9/11, but survived because she was late to work because her printer at home wouldn't print her temp work assignment info and she missed her train into the city. She came off her commuter train at GCT to find out that a plane had just hit the first tower.

The Curious Case of Caley V
2023-08-24 06:35:54 +0000 UTCRip Van Winkle is an American folk tale about a man living in british colonial America who falls asleep for 20 years. When he wakes up the American revolution has taken place. It's not the most well known story but it is ubiquitous enough that it hadn't occurred to me that people from outside the US wouldn't get the reference (which is very American of me ☹️).
Aidan Sullivan
2023-08-24 06:31:16 +0000 UTCI really liked this episode right up until the end. But, uh, the "apartment destroyed by 9/11" thing is not actually as weird, unusual or merely trauma-adjacent as you seem to think it is.

2023-08-24 05:16:09 +0000 UTCI've taken to wearing dressing gowns when home, they are fairly close to kimonos and they do give you a sort of leisurely post-scarcity attitude towards life.
Emilio Porras Vergara
2023-08-24 04:59:54 +0000 UTCYeah I ran in to the same problem as Abi, I remembered it being Taco Bell when I first watched it years ago, but *legally acquired* it again recently and it's the damn pizza hut cut! I did some digging (aka reading the wiki article) and it turns out that basically Taco Bell didn't really have a foothold in Europe yet so they substituted it for Pizza Hut which had more locations and therefore they figured it'd be more relatable. Absolutely silly decision imo, Taco Bell would have been even funnier if you barely knew what one was IMO

2023-08-24 04:55:03 +0000 UTCI never thought of keeping the lettuce separate! The oven does a good job of crisping up the chips again but then the lettuce is cooked too

2023-08-24 03:14:25 +0000 UTCI always forget to have the lettuce on the side, so it doesn't do as leftovers well.
Jason Young
2023-08-24 03:11:11 +0000 UTCwhen you all mentioned the pizza hut/taco bell scene i almost had a stroke until abi mentioned her version had pizza hut. I grew up with this movie as a go to thing (no clue why, my dad liked it i think) and that part with pizza hut is etched into my mind. i genuinely did not know it was edited for europe. although english is not my first language so that might explain why i didnt pick up on the terrible voiceover back then.

2023-08-24 02:00:04 +0000 UTCThe movie with "Alternate Terminator" was a Schwarzenegger movie called "Last Action Hero", where his fictional detective comes out of the film into the real world. It also had a cameo from T-1000 as a cop as played by Robert Patrick

2023-08-24 00:57:58 +0000 UTC@36:50 - Abigail is thinking of Last Action Hero, where there's a poster for Terminator 2 starring Stallone, because of meta movie-within-movie reasons.
