1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to them.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell show podcast. Once a week we get into

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: the eighties.

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 3: We're doing our eight z of the eighties, and it

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: is hard sometimes to describe the great decade, the weird decade,

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: over the top decade of the eighties to someone like

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 3: Jack Post I do the show with every night under

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: the age of thirty five, I asked Jack yesterday. Obviously,

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 3: very hard sometimes sort of describing what the eighties was

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: like to someone who's under thirty five. It was a

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: very strange decade when you look back on it, But

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: when we were living in it and more excitingly growing

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: up in it, it was really exciting. It was amazing.

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: It was a changing world. And one of the big

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: movies of the eighties was The Karate Kid. And we're

16
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: doing the letters Jay and Kay in our eighties of

17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: the eighties today. I love The Karate Kid came out

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty four.

19
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: Patsy, did you go and see this at all? Yeah?

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: I loved it, loved it. Did your brothers or Bracches

21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: the Crane kick on each other?

22
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: Wax on, wax off?

23
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's get into it. What did you

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: make of nineteen eighty four's the karate Kid Jack.

25
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like about the karate Kid. There's

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot to like about the karate Kid. Loved Larusso's

27
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: relationship with Miyagi.

28
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: That was a mentor that was great.

29
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: You know, he got nominated for an Oscar Pat moriarty

30
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: was he actually played mister Miyagi got nominated for an

31
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Oscar for that role?

32
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: Oh really?

33
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Because actually one of my points against Karate Kid was

34
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Miagi wasn't a great fighter. Him jumping the fence to

35
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: save Laruso and apparently kicking butt against all the bad guys.

36
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: He was so slow. He was such a bad fighter.

37
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 3: What he was, he was effective a fight comm ended

38
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: with one telling blow. It was the worst movement from

39
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: a karatea.

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Okay, he's an old dude as well, he's a janitor.

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so unconvincing.

42
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, it's a Yoda character. This is mental.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: But even Yoda, I guess, could use the force and

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: make things.

45
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: Like because he was a little green, little fellow.

46
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: You know, he's not roundhousing people.

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: For the most part, I did like Miaki though, love Meagi,

48
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: loved LaRusso. My problem with the film way, way, way

49
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: too long. And I find this with a lot of

50
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: Eighties films that you have me go back and watch.

51
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: They did not know how to edit, and it.

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: Just didn't come along to the late nineties. You go

53
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: back and watch an eighties movie now and find this

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: a lot. When I go to my kids, it's like,

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: let's go back and watch it.

56
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: And even I'm going every scene goes on too long.

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: The first scene is four minutes. The opening titles is

58
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: four minutes of them.

59
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: How I wish you sound like you watch too much TikTok.

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: You can't concentrate for four minutes. If you just said,

61
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: like twenty two minutes, four minutes isn't that long.

62
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: It's four minutes of them driving from New Jersey to California.

63
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: That's all shots of them along.

64
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: The road we think is happening.

65
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Come on, So I had to fast forward already in

66
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the first four minutes.

67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: And you know what they should do. They should do

68
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: a millennial cuts of eighties.

69
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Because there's lots of good stuff and the crowd.

70
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: And good stuff. But you're right, it's padded out with

71
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: a lot of just nonsense.

72
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Full runtime. Guess the full run time.

73
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: I'd say probably something like one fifty.

74
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Two hours, seven minutes.

75
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: Oh that's all right, that no, that's agree on this

76
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: though you cannot you cannot edit down the All Valley

77
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: Karate Tournament. O.

78
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: My number one place to edit was the tournament.

79
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: Leave the show, four year contract.

80
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: We know he's going to fight.

81
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: One of those chilling lines in a movie.

82
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: Get a body mag I agree. Great scene when we

83
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: finally got there him verse Johnny Lawrence was great. We

84
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: knew he was going to fight him.

85
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: What about this the tournament?

86
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, just hearing that makes me I'm the

87
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: cinema going no.

88
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: No, I sweet the lit I god, A problem with

89
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the problem with that. I agree with you. Normally, the

90
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: fight between LaRusso and Lawrence is great. Why did we

91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: have to see the whole tournament, the qualifying rounds, the

92
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: semi FINALATI four play, just say, just make up a

93
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: bit of dialogue that says he got into the final.

94
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: Didn't need to see it.

95
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: Every cranking up is cranking up the tension. Tension, tension. No,

96
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: he's gonna yeah, of course we know it. But it's

97
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: not just about the destination. What a journey.

98
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: It had a lot of potential. Karate Kid just needed

99
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: to be a little more succinct and keep everybody in cage.

100
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Did you like Daniel LaRussa.

101
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: I couldn't stand him. I hated him act she generally

102
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: hoped that he got beaten in the final.

103
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I thought his jokes were blame a whiny little key.

104
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: But I liked him.

105
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, I couldn't stand him. I wanted Lawrence.

106
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: I want him to be beaten Mercisley at the end.

107
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: This is the last thing I realized watching Karate Kid.

108
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: I know you did Karate as a junior. I always

109
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: thought Christian like knows so much about Karate's always telling

110
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: me like he means hand and Kara means empty and

111
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: it's the way of the empty hand. Everything you've ever

112
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: told me about Karate has lifted direct line from the film.

113
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: It was an impression on more movie on me, Christian

114
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: Oh Connall show podcast.

115
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: All right, the letter l Now, Jackie boy, you're not

116
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: of the eighties, but I know you watched a movie

117
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: last night which is a heightight of the eighties?

118
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: Which movie did you any wife? Bank can watched? Last night?

119
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: Land Before Time? This is actually Bianka's favorite film, and

120
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: i'd never seen it before, so she watched it often

121
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: as a kid from nineteen eighty eight. Is it Disney,

122
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It's Spielberg and George Lucas the producers,

123
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: executive producers, and it's cartoon dinosaurs. Cartoon dinosaurs. Yeah, animated dinosaurs.

124
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: It was the highest grossing animated film of its time.

125
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I seem to remember it being very sad. A

126
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: dinosaur is orphaned.

127
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: This start is very sad. I'll give it that.

128
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: But that's like a lot of those classic the Disney movies.

129
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: They always start there has to be someone being abandoned

130
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: the forest or orphaned, like classic fables, fairy tales.

131
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: And this is both because he sadly loses his mum

132
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: and then he's lost in the wilderness of the prehistoric

133
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: Chrstine Wrinkle.

134
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: Normally it's the dad that buys it in these movies.

135
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: It's always the dead dad.

136
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: Well, I guess dad has already bitten the dust, I say,

137
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: somewhere along the line. So that part was sad. But

138
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: and I know this is an important movie for a

139
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of people of that generation because even our audio

140
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: producer who I got the audiograms from, started crying when

141
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: she was watching the YouTube clips of it, reminding herself

142
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: as being.

143
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: So is the orphan dinosaur. And then he meets he

144
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: meets four of the dinosaurs. I seem to remember Spike,

145
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: Ducky Yep, I don't remember the end of two.

146
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: This is where the movie lost me. I hated the

147
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: ensemble characters, but the dinosaurs, four other dinosaurs. Littlefoot is

148
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: the main character. He's great, fine, he's the orphan fella.

149
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: He's the orphaned fella. His friends who he meets along

150
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: the way some of the worst characters in animated history.

151
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Ducky is so annoying. Mono Ducky is so annoying. Petree

152
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: is this bat type pterodactyl thing. He's even more annoying

153
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: than Ducky. Actually, are they annoying? Annoying? How they're talking

154
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: like babies?

155
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: But that's offending here.

156
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about eight ship yes, and Petree, who's the

157
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: flying one, can't do anything for himself. Oh no, I

158
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: can't fly, I can't do this, I can't do that.

159
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: Help me.

160
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Little Foot he was just annoying. I actually hoped that

161
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: he died.

162
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: God, I mean, but the story, not the Wizard of Oz.

163
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: They all compliment each other.

164
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: They're all there to represent well the other person doesn't.

165
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Littlefoot did all the heavy lifting in this. Everyone else

166
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: just hung off here.

167
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like a very familiar story.

168
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: I might be projecting him.

169
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm not finishing it. Sarah is the price, Sarah Topps, terrible.

170
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: Age with her name, then the Sarah.

171
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Bad attitude throughout the whole thing. I thought she was

172
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: so read to the rest of the group. I would

173
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: have kicked her out early on.

174
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: It's a survivor And then and then Spy just tuned

175
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,840

00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Tye Spike, who's your favorite character? I don't know why.

179
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't talk and it doesn't bring anything to.

180
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: The group he brings Vie.

181
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: It's such a non character. I didn't think so. What

00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: about Ducky Ducky, no head of the besides Petrie, the

183
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,760

Speaker 1: Well, I got up and excuse myself when into another

187
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: room for a bit, and then came back and she

188
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,840

00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: With you in your wife. I need to recuse myself

190
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: on this. I need to go to another room.

191
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: Because I didn't want to make fun of it in

192
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: front of her.

193
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: Christian Connall Show podcast.

194
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: You're looking for a movie to watch this weekend, I

195
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: urge you to dig out the eighties classic. Whenever you

196
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 3: see those top ten Top twenties Greatest movies, or even

197
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: action movies of the eighties, it's never in it. It's

198
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: been always overlooked, and I don't get it. We're talking

199
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 3: about Roadhouse.

200
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy ving on her?

201
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: And on her? What a movie?

202
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty nine Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, the best damn

203
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: caller in the business, A movie about a bouncer. But wait,

204
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: no ornerary bounds because we're dealing with Patrick Swazey. He's

205
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: got a PhD in philosophy. When he's suspensing bad guys,

206
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: he's also dispensing genuine interesting Western and Eastern philosophy.

207
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I was most nervous about going into this one because

208
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: I know it's a movie that's close to your heart,

209
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: and I hadn't really heard of it. Of course, I've

210
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: heard of Karate Kid, heard of Top Gun, heard of

211
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Police Academy, Roadhouse, don't really have much like.

212
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: It to disregard it as a bad like a good

213
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: bad movie, when I genuinely would put this in my

214
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: top ten.

215
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: It is a masterpiece.

216
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: So I was worried that I was going to have

217
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: to come in this morning and say, Christian, I hated

218
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: one of your favorite films of all time. But let

219
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: me tell you, the recommendation tree that you've been running

220
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: has produced its first tasty apple road House, Christians Roadhouse. Yes,

221
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: it is a ten out of ten movie.

222
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: Dalton gave you ten out of ten.

223
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: It is awesome.

224
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: No word of a line man.

225
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: That's a great movie.

226
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: So do you watch it with your wife? Biancush he

227
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: loved it as well.

228
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: Nine out of ten from Bianca, ten out of ten

229
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: from me.

230
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: Can I just say this? Is it too much to

231
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: say it's a religious experience?

232
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: No, because it actually is the least A DoD has

233
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: a cheesy premise. He's the best bouncer in America. He's

234
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: got a PhD.

235
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 3: So how much money in there is there? He's got

236
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: that Mercedes convertible.

237
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: He's a bouncer. Are they paid that well?

238
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: I guess in the eighties in America, being a bouncer

239
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: is a huge thing.

240
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: But it's not. He wasn't just that he's the best

241
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: damn caller in the business.

242
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because everybody knows him wherever he goes. Hey, that's Dom,

243
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: that's Dolon. It is a great film. It's actually not

244
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: cheesy at all. It's actually an awesome film. The it

245
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like the eighties cheese that was in. Sorry

246
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: to say, Top Gun and Karate Kid. That's just really good.

247
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: You didn't warn me how violent it was. You could

248
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: have put a disclaimer on that.

249
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: But what it is is they balance out with tai chi.

250
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: And also when Dalton is so tough in this movie,

251
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: he's just got one name. He is known as Daunton.

252
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: Right when he's doing that tai chie, there's one scene.

253
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: A lot of people talk about the home erottesism in

254
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: Top Gun, right about the beach volleyball scene, that is

255
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: nothing compared to when he's doing tai Chi. There's other

256
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: men in the background just staring at him, watching him

257
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: in all and it's like, hang on a minute, why

258
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: are we talking about this.

259
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: Patrick Swayze doing the tai Chie is probably my only

260
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: bug bear with the film. We didn't need four minutes

261
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: of that it went for a very long time.

262
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: It was like, but what a body on him?

263
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: He's amazing.

264
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: That's not even a twelve pack? What is that?

265
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: And I was I was sitting on the couch eating

266
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: Chucky's while I'm watching road I'm gonna.

267
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: Thought you were going to say, sitting on the couch

268
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: getting excited by four minutesound for a little guys to.

269
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: Cool down, munching at a block of cabre And I thought,

270
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: no way is this guy eating any chocolate. Every inch

271
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: of him is ready to fight pois coil. So tell

272
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: me this, did you every time you watch Roadhouse, surely

273
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: afterwards you're giving them one of these?

274
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 2: Do you know?

275
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 3: Someone really sad? So when I saw that, I came

276
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: out in nineteen eighty nine. I was sixteen, right, and

277
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: you can you imagine in sixteen seeing that, and I'm

278
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: into martial arts, and I think this guy's my new mentor.

279
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: Of course he's smoking throughout the movie as well. I

280
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: go because I like, I need to learn tai chi.

281
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: What a great way.

282
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to find, girls, is if I

283
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: just start going to local park stripped to the way

284
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: on my beers like.

285
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Shirt, those blooney white cads.

286
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: There don'tly no way you would buy those right to

287
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: kmart seal them. But anyway, right, I just thought I

288
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: need to I need to learn tai chi and then

289
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: start doing it in parks to attract girls. So I thought,

290
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of spiritual masters, right right.

291
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: So I remember going to my dad going, I know too,

292
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: I got into tai chie.

293
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: My dad fair blake. He didn't laugh if you went, well,

294
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: I guess we're gonna have to go to the local library.

295
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: My dad drove me into the local library and I

296
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: hired out two books on tai chi, something called white

297
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: Crane or horse Fly tai chi.

298
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: And do you know how long I took that up?

299
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: For three minutes. I was going to it's so slow,

300
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: it's so slow. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
