Speaker 1: in it, Keanu Reeves, Frank Stallone. Did you notice Frank Stellone?

Speaker 2: I did not know who Frank Stallone.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a belligerent defenseman as well. He's on the

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:25,799

Speaker 2: rees Oh my.

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: God, mainly because of Keanu Reeve's ridiculous French Canadian accent,

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: which he doesn't even commit to. It's there for two

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: lines and then he talks normally. Where that man said,

15

Speaker 2: Keanu It's amazing. That was his film debut, being in

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Young Blood. Crazy that he came back and became a

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: big mix long.

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Way before John can Someone nicked his dog. Where that

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: man he said, Anna mout You studied acting you or I.

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: There are so many at the time. I remember when

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I first saw that, I was like, guy, this movie

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: so savage, all these singing lines, somedthing you look back.

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: The line go hunt you sent Bernard is one of

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the lamest lines in movie history. He's scum nuts, scum nuts.

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: And then also this line too wanna go pretty by

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: when I got pretty boyt. What did you think of

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: the movie?

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, they were always trying to fight each other. I

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: thought the amount of fist fighting and violence was pretty grotesque.

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: It's more about fighting than ice hockey.

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: So Rob Low is a great ice hockey player, but.

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: He's also got a great rigg, isn't he What a

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: beautiful young man?

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: You do see with his shirt off quite a bit.

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Well, you see his naked, but about fifteen minutes in,

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: like most of his movies in the eighties, he was

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: naked having sex with someone within fifteen minutes.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: Didn't hold back on that sex scene, did they.

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I know.

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: The scariest scene of any movie I've probably ever seen

45
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: was the hazing scene with Roblow.

46
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Again Swaysy Throat Rip in Roadhouns.

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: They hold down Roblow Patsy to haze him into the

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: hockey team. Right, he's naked. The whole hockey team holds

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: him down. Patrick Swayzey puts a jock strap over his

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: mouth like he's a doctor, has a barber's razor.

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: Old school kind of Jack the Ripper slasher.

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: And shaves his his area.

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: Need to just go all the way.

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: But it looks like he's going to cut his member off.

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah it does. It is jacket a sleep this night

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: last night, it was terrified by. It's got a lot

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: of the cliches of eight sports movies. So he's got

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: the bitter older brother. Did he lose an eye?

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: He lost an eye playing hockey.

60
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Then he's got the old mumbling dad who's a farmer,

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't guess what if dad doesn't want him

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: to go to that America and play in the big

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: leagues and become a big time hot shot and needs

64
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: help out on the farm, doesn't he?

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: And then we found out that the dad used to

66
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: play hockey.

67
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Want to surprise, the dad is played by a hockey great, Nestarenko.

68
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Eric Nestarenko's not one of the all time greats of hockey.

69
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: This is how much they were obsessed with violence. In

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: the film So Roblow's character is great at skating, he's

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: great at hockey skills, but he's not going to make

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: it as a pro because he can't fight terrible. So

73
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: he comes back to his hometown. His dad takes him

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: to the local rink and says, come on, hit me,

75
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to teach you how to fight. His dad,

76
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: who didn't want him to play hockey, is provoking.

77
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: You learn to you learn to play ice hockey on

78
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: the rink. You learn to fight here. And they're in

79
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: a barn, and now we need to tell the UFC

80
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: these fighters do not need to go on a six

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: week training camp. In two short days, Rob Low becomes

82
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: the greatest fighter there ever was just in two days,

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: hitting that bag and the speedball with his dad and

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: his brother.

85
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: Everybody's fighting. So the coach throws a punch at somebody

86
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: in the crowd during a game.

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: How great is that? Classic? Kind of sort of like

88
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: in Rocky as well, that kind of Mickey character of

89
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the I'm Pat Moriarty from Chronic Kid, that kind of

90
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: grizzled coach character. He's great the actor and that.

91
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: He's great, But this is the problem with it. I

92
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: thought the moral of the story was going to be

93
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: Rob Low doesn't need to resort to violence like everybody

94
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: wants him to. He doesn't need to be a fighter

95
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: to be a great because he.

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Gets the great big last scene and he wins the

97
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: game in the league.

98
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: He wins the game. It's three all, he's got the

99
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: penalty shot. There's three seconds ago he makes a shot.

100
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: I thought, great, it's proving he doesn't need violence to

101
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: make it as a hockey player. Then the siren goes.

102
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: He starts fighting with his hockey stick like a sword

103
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: fight with his main enemy, disarms him, armed him, and

104
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: then beats the crap out of him.

105
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, horrifically.

106
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: The game is over and mercilessly he beats him.

107
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: In no way does Rob Low beat that evil He's

108
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: like one of the most evil less eighties badd he's

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: ever seen that racky.

110
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: And then he beat like beats this guy up. It's

111
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: pretty confronting.

112
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: It's like he's making him eat ice at one point.

113
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Then he signs autographs for a bunch of kids who

114
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: look up.

115
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: To it and watched this whole ground and pound going on, like, dad,

116
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: what's he doing.

117
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: That's the end of the movie. Yeah, and we're left

118
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: going like, all right, I guess violence is the answer.

119
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Is that what I'm taking away from this?

120
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: It was the eighties. Jacket was a very different time.

121
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: The scene where his dad doesn't want him to go

122
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: and leave the farm and to become a nice hockey player, right,

123
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: classic cliche of natic cliche. We want to know this morning,

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,400

127
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,839

00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: set having nights slapped and winning to hear his new demo.

160
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: He was like a lot, It's great, He's great.

161
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: And then he talks about this.

162
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: He tried to get us to put that guid for

163
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: sakend song. She's like the wind in Young Blood.

164
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: You're like, we're like.

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: This in an ice hockey movie. That's the movie anything

166
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Swayzy is. He doesn't get enough credit. He's one of

167
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: the great So I think the one great thing about

168
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the eightes of the Ages hopefully is exposed you to

169
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: the greatness of Patrick Swayzey.

170
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: He's fast becoming my favorite icon of the eighties. In

171
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: Youngblood my favorite character, and rhoad House is probably my

172
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: newest favorite eighty film and swayze is the stuff, all right.

173
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: So we're asking today, like in a lot of eighties movies,

174
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: you see this in quite a few of them, where

175
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the dad there's always some dad who doesn't want the

176
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: kid to go and live out their dreams. They want

177
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: them to stay on the farm or work in the

178
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: steel mill. It's always something industrial and heavy and laborious,

179
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: isn't it. And there's always that scene where they're arguing

180
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: and then the sun finally says, what's been hanging around

181
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: for years? We goes don't end up like you pushes

182
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: this old man who falls into hay, you know, and

183
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the mom looks through like a window where she's washing

184
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: a plate. Oh God, is that is that every other?

185
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: Your dad's just trying to protect you.

186
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm so disported my dad. He never did that with me,

187
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: so I could have that moment. Please say, you don't

188
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: want to become a DJ now. I hope you do

189
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: get to live out those dreams of playing nickelback. All right,

190
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: let's go to Fiona. So we're asking, what's this your life?

191
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Did your dad try to stop you living out your dreams? Fiona?

192
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: I think this was your mom's story.

193
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: It is my mom's story. So my mom decided her

194
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: father and played hockey for Australia once.

195
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

196
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: The reason he didn't like her playing hockey for Australia

197
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: was he had had a serious hip injury which actually

198
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: made one of his legs six inches shoulders than the

199
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: other by having.

200
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm not laughing at it, it's just quite a

201
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: discrepancy between one side and the other.

202
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, so he pretty much had a hit replacement

203
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: when he was ten years old because he played hockey

204
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: and got injured and he didn't want mum to play hockey.

205
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: I could understand.

206
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: This is so much like the film.

207
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe the first cool we get is your one.

208
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: It's so close to the plot of y.

209
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: She missed out on playing at the Olympics in Melbourne

210
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: in nineen fifty six because of it.

211
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: This is incredible, so said.

212
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: She played for Australia once. So she did it once

213
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: and then had to retire because your dad made her.

214
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much in a nutshell, that's it.

215
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: So she missed out on playing for Australia the Olympics

216
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: here at.

217
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: The Melbourne Olympics in nineteen fifty six. So she played

218
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: a qualifying match in Multura, which is where she was based.

219
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: And yeah, then of course then she wasn't allowed to play.

220
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: You wouldn't let her go. He wouldn't pay for it

221
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: to get to go to Melbourne.

222
