1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Last year on the show we did the eight z

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 2: of the Eighties, where you can probably gets that worked.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Each week we will break about the eighties with that

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: week's letter. We're kicking off the nineties and tonight it's

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: all about the letter. A. One of the biggest movies

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: of the nineties, Armageddon. It made over half a billion dollars, right,

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: and a huge, huge, completely over the top nineties movie.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Directed by Michael Bay with a who's who of Hollywood

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: in the movies.

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: It's stacked with premier talent.

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 4: This is a movie that has only grown more and

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 4: more beautiful with time. I loved it.

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: I tell you what it is.

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: It's like an irony sort of free bulletproof zone, isn't it.

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 4: I mean, looking back on it, the actors and the

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: director try to claim that they knew that it was irony.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: They did not.

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety eight.

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 4: They lent in one hundred percent and were the better

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: for it.

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: If you're trying to remember Armageddon, ok it's a load

23
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: of oil drillers who are putting a space rocket with

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: zero training. All right, people train for years, Okay, years

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: to go up to space. They just they need these

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: guys because there's a meteorite coming to planet Earth and

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: the only chance they've got is this renegade bunch. I

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: love also montage where they're getting the gang together. Any

29
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: movie that does that, I'm all in the premise of

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: the movie of armaged In, right, is that a meteor

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: is going to destroy planet Earth unless I actually wrote

32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: this down in my notes shet I was watching it.

33
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: Unless oil drillers drill into it, drop a nuclear bomb,

34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: then blow it up from the inside. It had also

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: nine different writers brought in to try and beef the

36
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: movie up, as the studio kept looking at a bit of it,

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: going um, this seems a bit odd. One of them

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: was a young JJ Abrahams, who went on, obviously we

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: could do its own amazing stuff. But nine different writers

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: and no cliche is left unturned in this movie. They

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: actually say lines like what I meant to say was sorry.

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: You know where someone high up goes to speak and

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: someone gives them a big spray.

44
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: And then go what I was gonna say was sorry.

45
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: My favorite line of the entire movie is this one

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: here Colonel Willie Sherriff and I did just say.

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: It's Air Force.

48
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: Mans questing permission to shake the hand of the daughter.

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm the bravest man I've ever met.

50
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. The last ten minutes I

51
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: was watching this yesterdayter by myself. I tear tears.

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: It's so gung ho.

53
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: It's the most pro American movie I've ever seen. It's like, hey,

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: sit down, restless world, hold my beer, We've got this.

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: It is like the oil companies. I mean, this must

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: be Scomo's idea of porn. The oil companies and rice

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: oil dreamers. They're the good guys. The whole movie celebrating oil, drink,

58
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. I reckon Scomo was one of the nine

59
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: writers on this back in nineteen ninety eight.

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: I love that he could still get emotional towards the end,

61
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: because every second counts towards the end, the closer the asterronis.

62
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: How many times? How many times?

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: Right?

64
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 6: If you?

65
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: If I always played a drinking game.

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: The phrase Cluck's chicking, guys said about one thousand times.

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: This thing's gonna blow any minute, guys.

68
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 3: It's also said a lot in the movie.

69
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: So we're watching the clock over and over again. We

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: know that there's every.

71
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: Second against time to save planet Earth.

72
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, then it gets to the point where they're about

73
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: to blow up that asteroid and save the world. Yet

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 4: Bruce Willis has time to FaceTime essentially his daughter Live

75
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 4: Tyler and have a lengthy back.

76
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: And for royal old long winded chat with her as well.

77
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 2: And there they're also I love all the bits where

78
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: they're going, I'm still drilling eight hundred meters to go

79
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: to the Iron Fairest Plate. I don't even know if

80
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: there is such thing as the Iron Fairest Plate. I'm going,

81
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: Is he gonna make it to the Iron Fairest Plate? Hurry?

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Eight hundred meters ago?

83
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: I did love how how hell been they were to

84
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: get like eight hundred feet into the asteroids, like seven

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: ninety five would have probably done the job. Still, send

86
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: the nuke down there, you're gonna be all right.

87
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: There's a yeah, there's a bit in the movie as

88
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: well where there's a line I think he's in the

89
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: first twenty minutes, right, and that's where I actually got goosebumps.

90
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: This might be one of the most important lines in

91
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: cinematic history where they're talking about I think it's about

92
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: that they're talking. Someone's talk about Bruce Wooldis and they go,

93
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: whatever they said couldn't be drilled. This guy drilled it.

94
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: I'm I'm all in, well, you asked me to invest

95
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: in this, just telling me this lines in the movie.

96
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: I'll give you, I'll give you my money, I'll remortgage.

97
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: Now this movie needs to be.

98
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: Told, well, he's never been giving a drilling depth that

99
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: he hasn't hit America. Didn't consult any other countries about

100
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: wanting to say what.

101
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: Horris just gets obliterated, right.

102
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: Paris a city of culture and history.

103
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: I don't know whether Michael Wather, director had a dodgy

104
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: sort of time there and thought, do you know what,

105
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to make a movie one day, Well, we're

106
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: just going.

107
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 3: To wipe out Paris. And it's okay.

108
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: The scene years last, probably two seconds. You see the

109
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: Eiffel tear and all of Paris get obliterated there, and it's.

110
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: Never mentioned again.

111
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: The Paris is now gone.

112
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 4: It's a non issue.

113
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: It's a non issue. At times. It's so believable. It's

114
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: like watching a documentary. You're thinking, is this a documentary?

115
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: I think in the end of it they've worked out

116
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: there are one hundred and sixty eight factual errors in

117
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: that movie. Okay, it doesn't matter.

118
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: It's movie, mate, and you're having a good time.

119
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: Christian Connall's show podcast.

120
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: What was that? How you doing?

121
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the nineties.

122
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: I'd like to flip I make this look good.

123

126
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, baby, all right.

127
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: The letter this week, it's all about this letter is

128
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: letter F. Thank you very much.

129
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: How every week he comes to next Monday to do

130
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: those for us. It's all about the letter F. Before

131
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: we get into Furby's and flip phones. The movie that

132
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: Jack and I watched yesterday, it's about viewing number eight

133
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: or nine for me. Was this seminal classic from the nineties,

134
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: directed by John Woof, starring two megastars, John Travolta and

135
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: Nick Cage face off.

136
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 6: I've been chasing this guy ever since I joined the force.

137
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 6: He's the most dangerous and brilliant criminal mind I've ever known.

138
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 6: And now, after all this time, I finally figured out

139
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 6: a way to trap him, will become him.

140
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: No other way. Try terrorism, for hire. We'll blow some

141
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: stuff up.

142
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: It's more fun.

143
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Plan B.

144
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 6: Let's just kill each other.

145
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: What a movie. One of the greatest comedies ever made.

146
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: Only thing is they didn't make it as a comedy

147
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: as watching it yesterday seriously about the eighth of the

148
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: ninth time, and there's so many much what I'm crying

149
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: with laughter because it's so over the top and ludicrous.

150
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: It's very clear that they just came up with the

151
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: title face Off, and then worried about the sort of plot, script,

152
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: character development, all those proper things barely felt whined about.

153
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: This is because it's called face off. They have a

154
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: surgical operation. They remove each other's faces and wear them

155
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: so Jack, before we go any further, we're both very,

156
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: very excited about Face Off. How would you describe to

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: people we've never seen this movie the actual plot.

158
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: While try to do it justice. The king of all

159
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: premises is it's John Travolta. He's an agent. He's the

160
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: good guy. Nicholas Cage he's a terrorist, he's the bad guy.

161
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: John Travolta catches him early in the film, puts him

162
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: in a coma. While he's in a coma, he's still

163
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: got a bomb. Somewhere in La that they don't know

164
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: where it is. So in order to infiltrate his gang

165
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: and his brother who built the bomb, he's got to

166
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: wear surgically remove the face of Nick Cage and put

167
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: it on his own. And then his own face goes

168
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: in a little jar by his bed.

169
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: It's just like you know, this, this most dangerous criminal

170
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: in the world, right beside anyone guarding him. His Nick,

171
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: John Travolta's face is just in a bowl next next

172
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: to a cage, right in like a like saging solution.

173
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: He've ant to contact lenses in cage suddenly wakes up

174
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: without his face from a coma just suddenly clicks up

175
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: and then guess what happened?

176
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: It is he he guides John Travolters. He finds John

177
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: Travolta's face.

178
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: That looks like what's doing it? It's like table.

179
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: He he puts the John Travolta's face on it, and

180
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, now our too.

181
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: Face lips or eyes, and he has a cigarette.

182
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: He's having a cigarette watching the He's watching the vision

183
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: of John Travolta's face get transferred in the original surgery.

184
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: And then he gets the doctor in his game, brings

185
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: the doctor in to do the same surgery on him.

186
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: So you've got the ultimate premise. You've got two arch

187
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 4: enemies looking each at each other, and they've switched faces,

188
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 4: and everybody believes that Nick Cage is John Travolta, and

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 4: everybody believes John Travolta is Nick Cage in Sue, the

190
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: best movie ever.

191
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of the greatest movies of all time.

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: And the thing is John Travolta actually does take on

193
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: an effect the mannerisms of Nick Cage. Nick Cage doesn't

194
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 2: bother is clear that he was given or they was

195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: scared of him, because when you watch this, it's a

196
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: very heavily caffeinated performance. Well, I think actually they were

197
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: just like, we don't even speaking to him.

198
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: Why is he yelling in every.

199
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: That he's actually mad in this stage? Is actually mad

200
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 4: in this?

201
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: What about it? When the doctor's explaining what you know?

202
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: And this isn't set in the future, it's set in

203
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: the nineties. It's set there right where they're explaining the

204
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 2: complex procedure. But suddenly the doctor is so matter of

205
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: fact about it. It's almost like they're sort of repairing

206
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: like a hamstring injury or something like that. The inside

207
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: is modeled on your skull, all right, Yeah, the outside

208
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: exactly in and out within the day.

209
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: Then we fit his face on top, not a rapper

210
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: but the real thing. Then we simply connect the muscle

211
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: steer duck center about this, So you want to take

212
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: his face in mind.

213
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: Barrel incredible.

214
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: And that is crazily not even in my top three

215
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 4: of most ridiculous parts of the film.

216
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: All right, so you've got a top three of craziest

217
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: parts of Face Off.

218
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: We'll get into the next.

219
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: Carl Brighter.

220
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian know Kyl's Show podcast.

221
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: If you had to pick one movie where Nick Cage

222
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: achieved ultimate Nick Cage powers, this is it. It's there's

223
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: no way that he was directed. There are so many

224
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 2: bits in it don't make sense. There's this yelling that

225
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: doesn't fit the scripts or even the scene. It's a crazed, fueled,

226
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: fueled performance by Nick Cage. And I can't, I can't,

227
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I can't recommend another movie that would give

228
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: you so much fun watching it. That's fair to say,

229
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: isn't it.

230
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: Jack.

231
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: I saw The Batman this week, a big blockbuster movie.

232
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 4: Breaking all kinds of records. I much more enjoyed Face

233
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: Off than I did The Batman.

234
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean looking.

235
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like looking at a mirror, only not so.

236
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: You got Travolta and Cage.

237
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Travolta chasing Cage finally works out away fire. I love

238
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: them when they go finally have worked out where to

239
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: get this guy whos been tracking for you? He killed

240
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: his son. Yeah, why do we think of all the time?

241
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: I mean they do all over the world, don't they

242
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 2: law enforcement agencies. We'll just take his face off his

243
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: and put it onto my right there, right there. That's

244
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: simple eye. This is going to change law all over

245
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: the world, now, won't it. And so they have each

246
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: other's faces, and Travolter does do this amazing job of

247
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: affecting all the mannerisms, and he doesn't do an impression,

248
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: but it's almost like an impression of Nick Cage.

249
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: Doesn't he throughout the rest of the movie was Cage doesn't.

250
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 4: He's just cagege even though it's meant to be John

251
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: Travolta's character. And also the face which leads to one

252
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: of my favorite scenes in the film, where Nicholas Cage

253
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 4: in handcuffs ready to infiltrate the prison, is rubbing his

254
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: face against the wall because his face itches after the surgery,

255
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: and because he's faces in handcuffs, he has to get

256
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: his buddy at the force to itch his face for him.

257
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also the doctor said, hey, listen, it's one

258
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: of the rare movies as well that actually mentions the

259
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 2: title in a scene as well, because the doctor goes,

260
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: they just can't ever get into a face off and

261
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: start shooting each other. He goes to Travolta, who's now

262
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 2: obviously Nick Cage. You know, whatever you do, you just

263
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: can't get into a fight. Fast forward to he's in

264
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: the prison being punched repeatedly like in a UFC fire

265
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: ground and bound in the face. And then to escape

266
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: the prison, he jumps, like I'm not exaggerating, one hundred

267
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: foot into the sea. And what is it about all

268
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: those sort of action movies where the helicopter like shooting

269
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: into the sea. He's escaped the buddet somehow, right, And

270
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: they gave up really quick looking for these evil criminals,

271
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: didn't they. Once you're in a helicopter, they're going to

272
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: come up for air. Just stay up there, daddy, Cotch

273
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: has gone. What's they go in the sea?

274
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: We never ever find them again?

275
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: All right, Jack, what are your top three craziest moments

276
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: in a crazy movie? All right?

277
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: Here are the top three takeaways from Face Off and Now.

278
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: Despite being a violent movie with the crazy procedure of

279
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 4: swapping faces, the most unsettling part for me was actually

280
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 4: the way that John Travolta showed his family affection by

281
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: slowly stroking an open hand down the faces of his

282
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 4: loved ones.

283
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: I forget this to his son Boddy trying to blow

284
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: us all up.

285
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: He did it to his daughter, he did it to

286
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 4: his wife.

287
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: I've never seen that move from a dad anywhere. And

288
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: I and Jack, I'm go to you that. I mean,

289
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm a very affectionate dad, hung in every day. I've

290
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: never seen before.

291
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: I tried to do it to be Anchors, like, hey,

292
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: will this feel nice? And she pulled her head away

293
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 4: and said, don't do that. Feel it feels offensive for

294
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: you to run your hand down my face. Take Away

295
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 4: number two. So the FBI, when they're meant to be

296
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 4: the good guys, right, they're catching this terrorist. They go

297
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: into this baddies lair and the terrorist son is in there,

298
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: and John Travolta has to honestly save the son from

299
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: getting shot to pieces by the FBI. Didn't There's no

300
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: reason for the FBI to be shooting a little.

301
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: Five year old boy not involved in it in any way.

302
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: He's just an innocent bystander.

303
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: That leads me to my final takeaway. And this is

304
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: a spoiler, so turn off now if you want to

305
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: watch Face Off. John Travolta comes home at the end

306
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: of the movie. He's got the little boy, the son

307
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: of his arch enemy, and without consulting his wife, essentially.

308
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: Brings me adopted. We've adopted almost this movie. He comes

309
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: to the house, Yeah, case, just come in, maute, look

310
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: what I've got? Like you got a puppy from the pound,

311
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: and so I was like, show me room's h what John?

312
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: We need to talk about this, right?

313
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: Who is that?

314
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,160

Speaker 2: back on right towards in the movie, right for weeks,

318
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: and they keep making a big deal about the agony,

319
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: as be the stitches, the sutras and all this. Then

320
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: suddenly right Travolta backs himself just makes his own way

321
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: home from the hospital.

322
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 3: Every time I watched this movie, I'm like.

323
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: She couldn't pick him up. She knows what he's been through, right,

325
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,480

Speaker 2: what yes does this get a taxi? Got to make

327

328
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: she couldn't go and.

329
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,120

330
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: She looked surprised as well as if he didn't even

331
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: call to say hey, just so you know, surgery went

332
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,440

00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: No, he said us Friday.

334
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: Now I've got zimber in an hour.

335
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I think there's some leftovers in the Redge rum shot.

336
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: You said I was coming to get you Friday. Wait,

337
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: who's the little kid?

338
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: That's our son? Now?

339
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: My favorite one of my favorite lines. And there are

340
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: two great lines in this towards the end, Sorry I

341
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: killed you dad to that hope on the greatest lines

342
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: in the movie. Ever, how could someone type don't think?

343
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: Can we actually say this and put it on selinoid forever.

344
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: The other one is where they are facing off against

345
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: each other, these two arch rivals wearing each other's faces,

346
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: and they've got guns pointing at each other, and then

347
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: other people from their rival crews, their sort of backups

348
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: all turn up. So at one point there must be

349
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: a right Ten people with guns are pointing each other,

350
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: and then travalter is Gauge just goes what a predicament?

351
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: Ten out of ten. This movie is a ten out

352
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: of ten.

Speaker 2: This week It's all about the Letter G Nineteen to ninety,

355
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: the biggest movie of the year, cost them twenty two

356
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: million to make, grossed over seven hundred and fifty two

357
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: million dollars. Ghost one of the biggest movies of the nineties.

358
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it made that much money, and it

359
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: became a cultural sort of moment as well. I remember

360
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: the front cover of Vanity Fair where Demi Moore who

361
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: was pregnant. It was one of the most famous iconic

362
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: images of the nineties that went all over the world.

363
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: Then there was the haircut as well, with women all

364
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: doing the Demi Moore. Before we actually get into the movie,

365
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: let's just have the Swayze talk right now, Patsy. Then

366
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: we can settle you down because we can't talk about

367
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: Swayzey without getting a little bit hot on air for Patsy,

368
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: So tell us about swayze.

369
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 8: Swayzey was out about oh maybe four or five years

370
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 8: after he made Ghost. He made to Julie Numar, thanks

371
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 8: for everything. To Wang Fu. I don't think that's the

372
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 8: right order. Anyway, it's a notoriously long movie title. And

373
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 8: I got to interview.

374
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: It's almost like six letters I think of it.

375
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 5: It's a really great movie.

376
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 8: But he was out doing like a promo tour and

377
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 8: he had like this sort of really nice little gathering

378
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 8: of journalists you could put him too this pool to

379
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 8: interview him, and luckily my name got caught up. So

380
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 8: we went into the Hiatt in the city and he

381
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 8: was absolutely charming. He was two hours late, but it

382
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 8: was worth the wait.

383
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 5: Because he just be honest.

384
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 3: Someone's towerlate.

385
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: I'm going off for half an hour, no once, And

386
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: Mick Jagger was about fifteen minutes late, and I said,

387
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: he's not a five minutes.

388
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: I can't be bothered.

389
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Likes just too short.

390
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 5: This was Patrick Swayzey Jing and Ghost.

391
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: Anyway.

392
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 5: He was absolutely charming. He was very casually dressed, but

393
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 5: he just gave.

394
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,840

Speaker 5: black shoes.

399
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: He feels like he's come dressed as Patrick Swayzey. Yeah, yeah,

400
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: pretty much. He's wearing that roadhouse and turkey dancing. There's

401
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: nothing casual about that. He's coming out. He's coming costume,

402
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,240

Speaker 5: Dressed down Wednesday anyway, he was on point and he

406
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 5: was just so lovely. There was about six of us

407
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 5: just sitting around a table chewing the fat with Patrick Swayzey.

408
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 5: She's just amazing.

409
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: A load of gushing going on.

410
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 8: He's after you, after you, but he was just really,

411
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 8: really sweet, and he was one of those sort of

412
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 8: people that when he looked at you, he looked right

413
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 8: into your eyes.

414
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: No he didn't, he looked through you. Go When can

415
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: I get out of here?

416
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: I held it off for two hours where they found

417
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: these women from so casually.

418
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 8: Anyway, it was absolutely charming, and what struck me was

419
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 8: just how laid back and how accommodating he was.

420
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: What was your favorite thing you talked about with Swayzey?

421
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 5: What's the favorite thing?

422
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 6: You know what?

423
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: I was like, I've got to be honest.

424
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: I was expecting more from the story, won't you? Jack?

425
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: Now?

426
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: Is it took two hours to even arrive in this story?

427
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: What was your number one question you asked?

428
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I actually can't remember what I asked him. I

429
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: remember I was very, very nervous.

430
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 8: But what I remember he told me about was he

431
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 8: was very spiritual, which was a side that I didn't

432
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 8: know about him. And he did lots of crystals and oils.

433
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: And that's all we got them out of like a

434
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: bag there and then no, no, no, but.

435
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 8: He smelt really good.

436
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: Great stuff, isn't it?

439
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: was hoping that i'd watch it again with my wife,

440
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: but she was out. My teenagers refused to sit down

441
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: and watch it with me because they were like, oh,

442
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: hang on a minute. When, as I said about every movie,

443
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: when I go, let's watch a movie, hang on it,

444
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: when was it My Way nineteen nineteen, They're like, forget it,

445
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: it's an old movie.

446
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: Right to them, that's a really old movie. Was what

447
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: black and white? Oh they were Charlie Chaplin.

448
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: They would be discussed with a special effects of the ghosts.

450
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: So basically, I watched it by myself yesterday evening, and

451
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: I still found myself crying alone on the couch. Gay

452
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: got me all those years later, what a movie?

453
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: Genuinely, I love watching it again.

00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: I forgot what a great movie and it still stands up.

455
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: I didn't do that thing. You know now, when you're

456
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: streaming something, you press pause and you go how much

457
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 3: left on this?

458
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: So we're so rude, now, aren't we. You never used

459
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: to do that in this cinema. You just sat there

460
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: and absorbed it. You didn't even think about, like how

461
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: long its left on it?

462
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: You were lucky to be watching a movie.

463
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: I pretty much do that every week as we rewatch

464
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 4: an old film, it's pause and check how long it's

465
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 4: left on the time. Ghost is an exception. I've I've

466
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: never seen it before, and.

467
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: Hang on a minute.

468
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a new side category right when

469
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,919

00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: Is a non pauso wow all the way through, without

471
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: even getting up and walking around the hill.

472
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: It's got loads going on. It was they still set.

473
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: It was at the birth of the rom com really

474
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: because after that, you know, they became Harry met Sally

475
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: after that huge, mega success of this movie. But it's

476
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: actually more than a romantic comedy. It's got a lot

477
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: in this, this stuff about the afterlife. There's action scenes

478
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: in it or avenge story.

479
00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: It's brilliant.

480
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: I thought it would be way more sappy just from

481
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 4: what I knew of the trailers. But yeah, there's murder,

482
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 4: money laundering, drug dealers, gunfights, and the part I love

483
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: the most is like Patrick Swayze for me, is the best.

484
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: Actor that on that right, he was on like a

485
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: four movie test. So if you think about it, did

486
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 2: Dirty Dancing in nineteen eighty seven, then he goes to

487
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: do a year and a half later Roadhouse, which we

488
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: reviewed on the show Non pauser I'm.

489
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: Getting as I loved Roadhouse.

490
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 2: Then a year later he does this ghost, right, biggest

491
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: movie of the nineties, and then he does Point Break

492
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: a year later.

493
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: That's quite a four movie tear.

494
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 4: What are you giving for acting in this movie because

495
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: why I loved him as a ghost. I did feel

496
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 4: like he hammed it up a few times during the movie.

497
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: For sure, when he's doing his whole convulsions when the

498
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: ghosts comes through him.

499
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 3: It's terrible. You're like, why didn't the director yell cut?

500
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 4: You know you're doing a great job.

501
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 2: Ken, this is going to be huge at the box office.

502
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

503
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: Pull back on some of those facial expressions. The one

504
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 4: I love the most the first time he becomes a

505
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: ghost and he realizes that he's a dead body and

506
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 4: he's in Demi Moore's arms. The look that he puts

507
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 4: on his face. Surely they wanted to cut down.

508
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: It looks like he'd watched a couple of episodes of

509
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: Home and Away and use some of the sort of

510
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: acting range in that to put it into a big

511
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: box office movie. It's so hammy, and the rest of it.

512
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: He's brilliant in it.

513
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 4: This is his face when he looks at himself for

514
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: the first time.

515
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 3: That exactly Now.

516
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 2: I know it's radio, but we will put this up

517
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: on we do a compare a contrast with the actual movie.

518
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: So many other things I noticed watching it again because

519
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: I remember when this came out, it was obviously at

520
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: the cinema, right and I was going out with a

521
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: girl at the time, in nineteen ninety and she loved

522
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: it so much we had to go and watch it.

523
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: I watched it three times with her. You know when

524
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: you're really into someone and you put up with any

525
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: time to do anything, You just do anything just to

526
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 2: be near them. I was seventeen at the time. That's

527
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: not judged three times to see this at the movie anyway,

528
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: watching it again yesterday alone on a couch weeping in

529
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 2: the darkness.

530
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 3: Demi Moore one ability, she can crown demand out of

531
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 3: I rye.

532
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 4: Did you notice that saw that separate falling tears?

533
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: I didn't notice sagon tears. Yeah. I actually rewound a

534
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: couple of times.

535
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: It's like, how does she do that?

536
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't get enough credit? We got it, Perry put

537
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: that video up. She can cry demand, she can go

538
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: left right both at the same time, or again left alrighty.

539
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 4: It's impressive, as impressive as when you see a strong

540
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: man do peck peck peck.

541
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: Which it's tear teer, double tear?

542
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: Why did she? Why is it more made?

543
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: It got two oscars.

544
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: The movie Whoopy Godberg deserved an Oscar. She's incredible. Bear

545
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: in mind she doesn't turn up to the start the

546
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: second third. I think she's like forty minutes in. She's

547
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: amazing and it's Swayzey's great. You also won an Oscar

548
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: forout original screenplay. They wanted to write a movie. The

549
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: guy won the Oscar for it from the point of

550
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: view of a ghost. And actually, when you watch the

551
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: movie knowing that, you get it is very much on

552
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: Swayzey's point of view. There are some great scenes in it.

553
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing money.

554
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: Oh I love and say the back of the couch,

555
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 2: dig it with you? What about that did scene? Did

556
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: that movie you?

557
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 4: I loved the Yeah, me too.

558
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: I love you, I really love you.

559
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: And my other favorite scene is the first time that

560
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: Demi Moore goes to see this mystic would be Goldbu

561
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: and sways the armn there even though she can't see him.

562
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: He's a ghost. He's there. What a crack he delivers

563
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: that line. It's so funny.

564
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: I remember in the cinema still he got such a

565
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: big laugh. I just love when he goes a crack.

566
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: This is the Christian o'connells show. Podcast.

567
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into the ages and the nineties.

568
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: The movie that Jack and I watched again was The

569
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: Great from nineteen ninety one, and I mean that actually,

570
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: seriously to me, a great movie.

571
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that Jackie Grees point Break, Point Break.

572
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 3: If you're like, which one was that in the nineties?

573
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: Come on, you must remember this. Keanu Reeves, I mean

574
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: a real Wooden like did he take any acting classes?

575
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 3: Really would?

576
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: And Keanu Reeves and then Swayze, who was on like

577
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: a four movie tear. He'd done Dirty Dancing in nineteen

578
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 2: eighty nine, Roadhouse also in nineteen eighty nine, Ghost in

579
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety and then followed that a year later with

580
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: this movie Point Break, and also a prime time He

581
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: had like a caged.

582
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: Raccoon energy, didn't he? Gary Boosey really did.

583
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: And if you try to cast your mind back, I mean,

584
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: how is this acting?

585
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Why didn't anyone yell cut, I am.

586
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: An app be I'm agent.

587
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 4: We think now, as Keanu Reeves is a great actor,

588
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 4: and he did become a lot better, but he was

589
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: stilted in this stage of his career. But still some

590
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: of the scenes in this movie Point Break as a

591
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: whole lots of potholes, but I do want to honor.

592
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: I remember when I went to see at cinema and

593
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: I was so excited because I love Swayze in Roadhouse, right,

594
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: and as a teenager in the in the nineties, I

595
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: just want to be Dalton. And then when I heard

596
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: he had another movie and he was a bank robber,

597
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: It's like, this looks great Keanu Reeves and it from

598
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: Bill and Ted, and he just had Bogus Journey out

599
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: that year as well, so we're super excited. And then

600
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: you chuck in Gary Bousey and a really weird cameo

601
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: for the leading of the Red or Chili Peppers that is,

602
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: and then surfing Nazis. That's a lot of law Mower

603
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: seeing a dog being thrown in someone's face.

604
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: That's a hell of a good time.

605
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: Top three action scenes in the film, and in many

606
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 4: action fields.

607
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: But first of all, though, when you talk about the holes, immediately,

608
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: it's got so many holes. You're like, how did this

609
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,719
Speaker 2: get off the ground? I love bank heist movies, right,

610
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: but this one is threadbare. First of all, Gary Boosey

611
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: is the worst detective in the world. He's been trying

612
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: to track them down for three years, and there it's

613
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: real obvious who it is and where they hide out

614
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: at the beach. They love surfing and they hang out

615
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: together every day surfing. It's very obvious they're taken down.

616
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: What is he gonna go, say, the thirty banks in

617
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 3: three years?

618
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: Like, how crap are you thirty banks in three years?

619
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: They're so productive? You haven't caught them yet. Because he's

620
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: thinking the meat more sandwiches.

621
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 4: He keeps going on about he has one bit of

622
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: evidence from thirty bank robberies, so that one hair.

623
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: That he goes, yeah, that's it.

624
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: And then they decide, like Johnny Utah the movie was

625
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: going to be called Johnny Utah is Keannie Reeves character's

626
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: name in this And they decide the best way to

627
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,960

629
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: course it's going to undercover. He's like an alibi, I

630
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: need a faint name. No, they don't even bother. Also,

631
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: Johnny Utah is the most memorable name in the world ever.

632
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: It's not like Ted Smith. We go that, what's that guy?

633
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: Barry Smith?

634

Speaker 3: Is it John Smith?

635
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: Johnny Utah.

Speaker 4: the beach, my name's Johnny Utah.

639
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: Is that then they all go when they have that

640
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: strange American football scene on the beach as well? There,

Speaker 2: Johnny Utah. He's now blowing all of his covers. What

643
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: are the other favorite action scenes? The parachuting scene is

644
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: still great.

645
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: That's actually what one of the best action scenes in

646
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 4: any film, jumping out of a plane without a parachute

647
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: on still the pothole there is Why would why would

648
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 4: Patrick Swayze's character leave his gun behind jump out of

649
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: a plane only for Keiana Reeves to come chase him.

650
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: He's not about the threat of the waves? Man?

651
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: Why did they just keep not just that?

652
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: How can you have a conversation at how high were they?

653
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: Because they were free falling for about ten minutes. They

654
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: still have an eighty k's up in the sky and

655
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: they're talking like you and I right now, pull this thread?

656
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: Pull the thread.

657
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: That and the lawnmower scene where Keano reads his face

658
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: to face with the underside of a lawnmower about to

659
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: get his face clipped off, and then he comes in

660
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: Saves of the Day by shooting the lawnmower. Loved that.

661
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: And then what about the final scene right where they

662
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: go to Bell's Beach, which now everyone knows was not

663
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: Bell's beach at all, and even says, what are we

664
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: going to do when he finally gets his man, right,

665
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: he finally gets body who's named after butda Vista, which

666
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 2: means enlightened being becoming Buddha, And they had no irony

667
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: about that. You watch this movie, and I know people

668
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: worried about Daniel da Lewis and Christian Beld no one

669
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: is more committed he is Buddha in this movie.

670
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: It's ways he's gone, He's gone, he went deep.

671
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: Anyway, he finally gets his man. They have that fight

672
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: scene in the scene, which is a great fight scene,

673
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: and then Yo see her in the next live I

674
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: still figures a great ending as well. And the idea

675
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: of the fifty year storm. As soon as you hear

676
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: about that fifty year storm at the beginning of the movie,

677
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: at the coumpfin scene, you go, that's going to come

678
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: back in this movie. Even googled it yesterday to check.

679
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 4: My problem with the final scene is so he lets

680
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 4: the cops are storming the beach is land.

681
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: There, we got him.

682
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: Although Johnny Utai goes, you know what, that wave is

683
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: going to kill you anyway, go and surf the wave

684
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: and it's going to perish you.

685
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: Fifty year storm.

686
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: Johnny Utah starts walking off the beach before he even

687
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 4: knows if he's drowned or not. He could have well

688
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: survived that way.

689
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: Well, Gary Busey, Gary Boosey waited three years and then

690
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: let we're going to go for a swim.

691
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: So Mark's for the seminole point break.

692
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: Oh for scenes. For great scenes four and a half

693
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: out of five. For a movie as a whole with

694
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 4: the plot holes two out of five.

695
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,440
