: 00:00:21

listeners, if you remember from the

original Roadhouse episode that I did

: 00:00:26

with Jamie and Milo, who are joining

me again today, we mentioned That there

: 00:00:31

was going to be this remake and we

weren't too jazzed about the idea of it.

: 00:00:34

And after a fair amount of

delay and some squabbles

: 00:00:38

Jamie: Haha,

: 00:00:40

Katie: has finally made its way

to us, whether we like it or not.

: 00:00:43

We'll see how glad I am once we

get into the, the review aspect.

: 00:01:03

Katie: Okay.

: 00:01:03

Well, we're going to get right into

it because there's no time capsule.

: 00:01:06

This is 2024.

: 00:01:07

Let's just go through a

couple details of the movie.

: 00:01:10

So, you guys it's been out

for a week now listeners.

: 00:01:12

So hopefully you've had

a chance to watch it.

: 00:01:15

Because we're going to spoil it.

: 00:01:17

It's rated R.

: 00:01:18

It was released on March

21st on Amazon prime.

: 00:01:22

No theater release here.

: 00:01:25

Jamie: what's up with that?

: 00:01:26

Katie: Yeah, I feel like it was the

director or somebody was upset about that.

: 00:01:30

Yeah.

: 00:01:32

Jamie: I was upset about that.

: 00:01:33

I went to the theater with my son.

: 00:01:35

Cause I don't Remember how I was like,

: 00:01:37

Katie: Yeah.

: 00:01:38

Jamie: time to watch Roadhouse Boys.

: 00:01:39

He's Dad, no.

: 00:01:40

I'm like, dude, we got a

podcast coming up with Katie.

: 00:01:42

You gotta watch it.

: 00:01:43

You gotta watch it with me.

: 00:01:44

But then it wasn't there.

: 00:01:45

I'm like, where's Roadhouse?

: 00:01:47

They're like, no, it's not here.

: 00:01:50

Whatever.

: 00:01:51

Katie: It's over 2 hours.

: 00:01:53

I think this is very interesting.

: 00:01:56

The, so it's, it's new.

: 00:01:58

So the IMDb rating, you know, it's not

based on a lot yet, but so far it has a 6.

: 00:02:03

2 out of 10.

: 00:02:05

The original a 6.

: 00:02:08

So.

: 00:02:10

far people like the original

better not significantly.

: 00:02:13

So though they're both

produced by Joel silver.

: 00:02:17

The director of this remake is Doug Lyman.

: 00:02:20

There's 3 writers.

: 00:02:21

1 of which is the original

are Lance Hill, a.

: 00:02:25

David Lee Henry.

: 00:02:27

And then 2 additions, Anthony

Bagarossi and Chuck Mondry.

: 00:02:33

And then everyone has seen,

I mean, it's Jake Gyllenhaal.

: 00:02:37

And I, that was kind of one reason that

I was like, okay, this might be decent.

: 00:02:40

Jake's in it.

: 00:02:41

I'm a big fan.

: 00:02:42

And then we have Jessica

Williams and she's the bar owner.

: 00:02:46

you guys see the, the shrinking TV series

with Jason Siegel and Harrison Ford?

: 00:02:52

I want to say it's on Apple TV.

: 00:02:54

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Never even heard of it.

: 00:02:56

Hmm.

: 00:02:59

Katie: Yeah.

: 00:03:00

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

wife recognized her from something.

: 00:03:02

So she, she,

: 00:03:03

Katie: a few

: 00:03:03

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: yeah,

so she recognized her, but I didn't.

: 00:03:07

Katie: and then Conor McGregor, this

is his film debut and Post Malone.

: 00:03:12

So we've got some, some

interesting characters here.

: 00:03:16

The music was done by Christoph Beck.

: 00:03:19

There's no box office to discuss, but

the budget for this was 85 million.

: 00:03:24

The original was 17

million, the: 1989

: 00:03:30

And the description is

ex UFC fighter Dalton.

: 00:03:36

Takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida

Keys roadhouse only to discover that

: 00:03:41

this paradise is not all it seems.

: 00:03:44

Okay, so we all purposefully

avoided reviews and other talk

: 00:03:50

about the movie because we didn't

want our views to be tainted.

: 00:03:53

We wanted to come in completely fresh.

: 00:03:56

So Jamie, Milo, on 3, let's each

say a single word that we would

: 00:04:02

use to describe this remake.

: 00:04:04

You ready?

: 00:04:05

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Okay.

: 00:04:08

Katie: 2, 3.

: 00:04:11

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Ass.

: 00:04:11

Jamie: Unnecessary.

: 00:04:13

Katie: What was yours, Milo?

: 00:04:15

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Ass.

: 00:04:18

Katie: So,

: 00:04:18

Jamie: Ass.

: 00:04:19

Like a

: 00:04:20

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

: 00:04:21

Yeah it smells like ass.

100

: 00:04:25

Katie: Well, it sounds like we are, the

three of us at least are in agreement.

101

: 00:04:30

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

sorry, what was yours, Katie?

102

: 00:04:32

Katie: Abysmal.

103

: 00:04:33

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: and

104

: 00:04:34

Jamie: She had the worst.

105

: 00:04:36

Unnecessary.

106

: 00:04:37

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Okay, yeah, we are in agreement then.

107

: 00:04:39

Yeah.

108

: 00:04:40

terrible, awful, you know, yeah,

I was going to go with angry.

109

: 00:04:45

Like it's so bad when I

watched it, it made me angry.

110

: 00:04:49

That's how bad it was.

111

: 00:04:50

I actually was legitimately angry.

112

: 00:04:54

So,

113

: 00:04:54

Katie: you spent two hours

114

: 00:04:57

Jamie: That's, that's a long movie.

115

: 00:04:58

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: yeah.

116

: 00:05:00

But on the plus side, I

117

: 00:05:02

Katie: hours.

118

: 00:05:02

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: will

say, so, I also had my wife watch the

119

: 00:05:04

original Roadhouse, which she didn't like,

because I think I mentioned this when we

120

: 00:05:08

spoke before, because she's of a different

generation and can't appreciate it.

121

: 00:05:12

this movie made her

appreciate that movie more.

122

: 00:05:16

There is that.

123

: 00:05:17

Katie: I love that.

124

: 00:05:18

That's excellent to hear.

125

: 00:05:21

What was your viewing experience, Jamie?

126

: 00:05:24

Jamie: So, I don't have Amazon Prime, so

I got the trial, and they're like, If you

127

: 00:05:29

like it, 30 days or less, whatever, you

can not pay, and I'm like, I watched the

128

: 00:05:33

movie and then I cancelled Amazon Prime.

129

: 00:05:36

Because I don't, I don't have

a lot of streaming stuff.

130

: 00:05:38

I like the free ones with the old stuff.

131

: 00:05:40

Katie: hmm.

132

: 00:05:42

Jamie: but I, I watched it.

133

: 00:05:43

So my son was like,

dude, can you spare me?

134

: 00:05:45

And I'm like, fine.

135

: 00:05:46

So I watched it on my own.

136

: 00:05:48

Katie: Oh, he didn't join you.

137

: 00:05:49

138

: 00:05:49

Jamie: Mm mm.

139

: 00:05:50

Katie: a young'un would have to say.

140

: 00:05:52

You know, because I think the

newer younger people tend to like

141

: 00:05:55

these remakes more than we do.

142

: 00:05:58

Jamie: Yeah, it's interesting.

143

: 00:06:00

And we talked about this before

where maybe some of the movies we

144

: 00:06:04

watched back in the day were remakes.

145

: 00:06:05

We didn't even know it.

146

: 00:06:06

Katie: hmm.

147

: 00:06:07

Jamie: I think they're

blatant remakes now.

148

: 00:06:10

I, I think people know they're remakes.

149

: 00:06:12

Katie: Yeah.

150

: 00:06:14

Well, because they use that to market it.

151

: 00:06:15

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

152

: 00:06:17

Jamie: Well, I don't know if

they're trying to get to us.

153

: 00:06:19

They're not.

154

: 00:06:20

It's not working.

155

: 00:06:21

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

just going for the

156

: 00:06:22

Jamie: You might as

well say it's Roadhouse.

157

: 00:06:24

It's a movie.

158

: 00:06:25

Don't even mention it's a remake.

159

: 00:06:27

You'll get all the young

people to watch it.

160

: 00:06:30

Because you're not getting to us, guys.

161

: 00:06:32

We don't care about your remakes.

162

: 00:06:34

We don't like it.

163

: 00:06:35

We don't like your reboots.

164

: 00:06:36

Katie: Well,

165

: 00:06:36

Jamie: There are very few

166

: 00:06:37

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

167

: 00:06:38

Katie: they

168

: 00:06:38

Jamie: we did because

169

: 00:06:39

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: made

170

: 00:06:40

Jamie: we have a We're doing research.

171

: 00:06:43

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

172

: 00:06:43

Jamie: This was research.

173

: 00:06:45

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

174

: 00:06:49

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Well, and I think part of it had

175

: 00:06:50

to do with uh, I believe there's a

lawsuit right now where the original

176

: 00:06:55

writer is actually suing MGM.

177

: 00:06:58

Um, Because he had wanted to regain the

178

: 00:07:05

this movie just under that deadline so

that they can retain the rights to it.

179

: 00:07:10

So, I think there is some aspect of that

associated to why they made this as well.

180

: 00:07:15

But,

181

: 00:07:16

Jamie: And I didn't know until

recently, until this, Amazon owns MGM.

182

: 00:07:21

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: mm hmm.

183

: 00:07:23

Jamie: So no wonder there's this

Amazon Prime thing going on.

184

: 00:07:26

They own MGM.

185

: 00:07:28

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: yeah,

186

: 00:07:28

Jamie: That, that, we're in, that,

what a dystopia we live in now.

187

: 00:07:31

Holy smokes.

188

: 00:07:32

Katie: Yeah, there's a

189

: 00:07:33

Jamie: This like,

190

: 00:07:34

Katie: happening.

191

: 00:07:35

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

you got Discovery

192

: 00:07:37

Jamie: can tell.

193

: 00:07:38

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

and all those, yeah.

194

: 00:07:40

So yeah, to this though, here's the

thing, they could have made it as an

195

: 00:07:43

entirely separate movie, it might have

been a little bit better, and you'd

196

: 00:07:46

just be like, oh wow, so they kind of

copied Roadhouse, but at least I could

197

: 00:07:50

accept it as a separate movie, right?

198

: 00:07:52

Or they could have made it as

a sequel, like Jake Gyllenhaal,

199

: 00:07:56

is it Gyllenhaal or Gyllenhaal?

200

: 00:07:57

Gyllenhaal?

201

: 00:07:58

Jake.

202

: 00:08:00

Katie: I say it with

203

: 00:08:01

Jamie: Gyllenhaal,

204

: 00:08:02

Katie: but

205

: 00:08:02

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Gyllenhaal.

206

: 00:08:03

I think a lot of people do.

207

: 00:08:04

Jake Gyllenhaal could be like son,

or I don't know if the age works out

208

: 00:08:10

properly, but like something like that.

209

: 00:08:12

Or, you know, and so it's got a

similar plot where he, but instead of

210

: 00:08:16

being a bouncer, he's a UFC fighter.

211

: 00:08:18

And then he's kind of with the

demons of his father or something.

212

: 00:08:22

He could have made this much more

interesting than just taking certain

213

: 00:08:25

plot points from the original,

adding for the sole purpose of

214

: 00:08:31

putting variety in there, right?

215

: 00:08:32

Cause the original is very male

centric and they're like, okay,

216

: 00:08:35

we got to balance this out.

217

: 00:08:36

So we've got you know, female

bartender, we've got a female bar

218

: 00:08:40

owner, we've got like all these

other characters that they added in

219

: 00:08:43

there that they didn't have before.

220

: 00:08:44

So we'd be like, okay, Now, now

we've checked that off the list.

221

: 00:08:48

You're yeah.

222

: 00:08:49

Conor McGregor, right.

223

: 00:08:50

Who.

224

: 00:08:51

I didn't think it was possible,

but somehow made this movie worse.

225

: 00:08:55

So that they could be like,

yeah, let's get some USC fighters

226

: 00:08:58

that are into Conor McGregor.

227

: 00:09:00

Jamie: but he's not an actor.

228

: 00:09:02

Here's the thing.

229

: 00:09:02

He kind of played himself

230

: 00:09:04

Katie: Yeah.

231

: 00:09:04

Jamie: And you got to love that strut that

he does with those high shorts and he's

232

: 00:09:09

Katie: I actually, one of my

positive notes, I do have a

233

: 00:09:12

handful of positive notes about the

234

: 00:09:14

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: himself

235

: 00:09:14

Katie: and I know Milo, I

know you're not a fan of him.

236

: 00:09:17

Him, I don't think any of us are

like fans of his, but I actually

237

: 00:09:21

was kind of surprised he played like

a psychopathic maniac very well.

238

: 00:09:27

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

because he

239

: 00:09:27

Jamie: Yeah,

240

: 00:09:28

Katie: performance was pretty good.

241

: 00:09:30

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

He is a psychopathic

242

: 00:09:31

Jamie: the thing

243

: 00:09:32

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

That's he wasn't acting.

244

: 00:09:33

Jamie: Yeah, but he, look, he's not

from the WWE like The Rock or like John

245

: 00:09:38

Cena, those guys go well into movies

because they were actors to begin with,

246

: 00:09:43

because the WWE is kind of opera, it's

kind of theater, it's very athletic

247

: 00:09:48

theater, but they're actors, right, the

whole thing's kind of scripted, and they

248

: 00:09:52

act, and it's a drama, he's not, he's

a real like UFC fighter, he's a cage

249

: 00:09:57

fighter, that's what he is, so I gotta

give it to Connor a little bit, Look,

250

: 00:10:04

he's, was he a great actor or whatever?

251

: 00:10:05

Not really, but for playing

Conor McGregor, he's pretty good.

252

: 00:10:11

Right?

253

: 00:10:12

Katie: the acting was not

my issue with this movie.

254

: 00:10:15

I actually

255

: 00:10:15

Jamie: Yeah, because Jake was good.

256

: 00:10:17

I think Jake is always

good in what he does.

257

: 00:10:19

So I just wish he worked out

a little more because he was

258

: 00:10:22

looking pretty, you know, soft.

259

: 00:10:26

Katie: Yeah, no, that's so funny.

260

: 00:10:28

I actually watched it twice

because the first time

261

: 00:10:30

Jamie: my God.

262

: 00:10:32

Katie: I had a, I had a friend

in town and we were a few bottles

263

: 00:10:37

of wine in and we watched it.

264

: 00:10:41

Meanwhile, we were like texting with

another friend of ours who watched

265

: 00:10:45

this because she really likes Jake.

266

: 00:10:47

And so she's Oh, Jake, you know,

but she was like, what is this?

267

: 00:10:51

She actually hadn't seen

the original Roadhouse.

268

: 00:10:54

And so the three of us were like, you

really need to watch the real one.

269

: 00:10:57

This, I'm not sure what this

is, but it's not the original.

270

: 00:11:02

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

What did your friend think of it?

271

: 00:11:04

Katie: she hated it.

272

: 00:11:05

We both were

273

: 00:11:06

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Okay.

274

: 00:11:06

Katie: is like the worst

movie we'd ever seen.

275

: 00:11:09

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

276

: 00:11:10

McGregor deserves a prancing.

277

: 00:11:11

Katie: on the second time I

watched it like pay more attention.

278

: 00:11:16

I didn't think it was as bad.

279

: 00:11:19

I had gotten used to, or I don't know.

280

: 00:11:23

Jamie: Well, I don't think anybody's

gonna watch this twice, so you

281

: 00:11:25

have a unique perspective, Katie.

282

: 00:11:28

Katie: Mm hmm.

283

: 00:11:29

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah,

284

: 00:11:30

Katie: Yes.

285

: 00:11:31

Okay, so what are some

positives, you guys?

286

: 00:11:33

Let's, before we, yeah, what

287

: 00:11:35

Jamie: Yeah, we should

probably say some positives.

288

: 00:11:37

Milo, you wanna do some positives?

289

: 00:11:39

I got some, I got a couple.

290

: 00:11:40

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I mean,

and the guy got ripped because he did

291

: 00:11:43

have to look like he could actually hold

a fight against Conor McGregor, right?

292

: 00:11:47

There were a couple lines that

were kind of entertaining.

293

: 00:11:52

watching Conor McGregor walk like he had

a case of hemorrhoids was quite funny.

294

: 00:11:57

Jamie: He had something up his butt, dude!

295

: 00:11:59

Katie: that?

296

: 00:12:00

He, it was like an ape.

297

: 00:12:01

He looked like an ape the

298

: 00:12:02

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Totally.

299

: 00:12:03

Katie: Yeah, it was interesting.

300

: 00:12:05

Jamie: That's awesome.

301

: 00:12:07

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I

think I, I've read a review and the person

302

: 00:12:10

said the best thing about this movie is

that it ended and I, it was like, yeah.

303

: 00:12:16

Oh, this is what I said.

304

: 00:12:17

I do not want to be totally negative.

305

: 00:12:19

The movie had one redeeming factor.

306

: 00:12:22

It ended.

307

: 00:12:22

And there you go.

308

: 00:12:24

I agree with that one.

309

: 00:12:25

I agree with that review.

310

: 00:12:28

There's my positives.

311

: 00:12:29

Katie: you leave it on long enough

to catch the post credit scene?

312

: 00:12:32

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

No, I didn't know there was a

313

: 00:12:33

post credit until after the fact.

314

: 00:12:35

And so I saw that.

315

: 00:12:37

Katie: good.

316

: 00:12:37

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

317

: 00:12:37

So doesn't is it like McGregor

gets up or something like that?

318

: 00:12:40

So he's not actually dead.

319

: 00:12:42

Is that what it is?

320

: 00:12:43

Katie: not dead.

321

: 00:12:43

He's in the hospital wreaking

havoc on the hospital people.

322

: 00:12:47

And he walks out in the, you know, the

hospital gown that's open in the back.

323

: 00:12:51

So it was a nice little bookend

to, so you guys, we meet Connor and

324

: 00:12:56

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

get to see.

325

: 00:12:57

Katie: in Italy, like jumping out

of a lady's window, walking down

326

: 00:13:02

the sidewalk naked and wreaks havoc

on a marketplace and everything.

327

: 00:13:06

So we end with, Oh, we thought

he was dead, but he's not.

328

: 00:13:09

He's wreaking havoc on the

hospital and he walks out naked.

329

: 00:13:12

Again.

330

: 00:13:14

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: think

it's because he's such a narcissist that

331

: 00:13:16

he probably refused to do the movie.

332

: 00:13:21

his character died.

333

: 00:13:22

He's probably like, I will not do

this movie unless my character because

334

: 00:13:27

that's how big of a narcissist.

335

: 00:13:28

Jamie: Like Skeletor in the

Masters of the Universe where

336

: 00:13:32

Skeletor pops up and credits.

337

: 00:13:34

Ah, I'm still here.

338

: 00:13:36

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: No.

339

: 00:13:37

yeah, Razzy, Razzy, Razzy all the way.

340

: 00:13:42

Jamie: So I, so I like Jake and he,

he was looking pretty good and I

341

: 00:13:48

don't dislike Connor for what he is.

342

: 00:13:52

I'm not gonna bash him.

343

: 00:13:54

A lot of people are bashing him.

344

: 00:13:55

I'm not gonna bash him.

345

: 00:13:56

He played the role he played and

for his debut, I think he's alright.

346

: 00:14:01

I won't bash him.

347

: 00:14:02

Katie: People are saying he did

a horrible job acting in it.

348

: 00:14:05

I literally haven't read anything.

349

: 00:14:08

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

I think the general consensus

350

: 00:14:10

Jamie: Yeah, well,

351

: 00:14:11

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

him are that he was terrible.

352

: 00:14:13

Of what I looked at.

353

: 00:14:14

I mean, obviously I didn't

read a ton, but left the ones.

354

: 00:14:17

And I hope he gets that message

and never does a movie ever again.

355

: 00:14:22

That's my hope.

356

: 00:14:23

Jamie: eh,

357

: 00:14:24

Katie: kind of

358

: 00:14:24

Jamie: I

359

: 00:14:25

Katie: it.

360

: 00:14:26

Jamie: thought he was alright

to be honest with myself.

361

: 00:14:29

If he plays that role, if he tries

anything else, he's going to fail.

362

: 00:14:34

But if he plays this psycho

guy role, then he's okay.

363

: 00:14:38

I actually don't think he's that bad.

364

: 00:14:40

And as long as he plays this kind of

role, I think he can do other things.

365

: 00:14:44

As long as it's that one,

he's typecast now, right?

366

: 00:14:47

He's Spock and Star Trek.

367

: 00:14:49

Like you're, you're that thing.

368

: 00:14:50

You're you're Leonard Nimoy.

369

: 00:14:51

Now, the one thing I did like

about it for a little while.

370

: 00:14:57

But then it got tiresome.

371

: 00:14:58

So they did some kind of interesting

CGI with the fight scenes.

372

: 00:15:04

The thing I did like about it is.

373

: 00:15:07

At least it wasn't like choppy cut

weirdness like they tend to do nowadays.

374

: 00:15:14

They tried something a little different.

375

: 00:15:16

You could tell it's CGI because it has

this kind of CGI flow and whatever.

376

: 00:15:21

And, and you're kind of like

this, you're going around.

377

: 00:15:24

I think they really tried to do something

interesting with the fight scenes.

378

: 00:15:28

And for a little while at first

I thought it was interesting,

379

: 00:15:32

but it became very tiresome.

380

: 00:15:34

After a while, and I didn't like it, but

at least I liked it a little bit at first.

381

: 00:15:39

I liked that it was in a different place.

382

: 00:15:42

It was in the Florida Keys, which

why would you have a place called

383

: 00:15:45

Roadhouse in the Florida Keys?

384

: 00:15:47

Not necessarily like

385

: 00:15:48

Katie: That was the

386

: 00:15:49

Jamie: the roadhouse.

387

: 00:15:51

Yeah, because you're supposed

to on a roadhouse is a place.

388

: 00:15:54

Maybe you're on your way somewhere.

389

: 00:15:56

You're in Florida Keys.

390

: 00:15:57

You're not going anywhere else, but

the Florida Keys, because that's

391

: 00:16:00

the end of the universe, like the

end of the road, but whatever.

392

: 00:16:05

So I don't know.

393

: 00:16:06

I don't, I guess I don't, I

didn't, I don't like this movie,

394

: 00:16:10

but I don't know if I hate it.

395

: 00:16:11

Which is great for me for a reboot.

396

: 00:16:15

Katie: You

397

: 00:16:15

Jamie: I don't know if I hate it.

398

: 00:16:16

I don't think I hate it.

399

: 00:16:19

It's not good.

400

: 00:16:20

You do.

401

: 00:16:21

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

hate you now for saying that

402

: 00:16:22

you don't hate this movie.

403

: 00:16:24

Katie: Jamie,

404

: 00:16:25

Jamie: I don't like it though.

405

: 00:16:26

I don't like this movie.

406

: 00:16:28

Don't get me wrong.

407

: 00:16:28

I don't know if I have a seething hatred

for it or if I feel anger like you.

408

: 00:16:32

Milo.

409

: 00:16:33

I'm not, I'm with you guys.

410

: 00:16:34

I'm not saying I'm not giving this

a thumbs up by any means, but, and I

411

: 00:16:38

think it's too damn long, but is it?

412

: 00:16:41

It's not, it's kind of fun.

413

: 00:16:44

It's kind of fun, I guess?

414

: 00:16:47

I I I only watched it once, which

is good, but it's kind of fun,

415

: 00:16:52

Katie: Well,

416

: 00:16:53

Jamie: I think it's unnecessary,

completely unnecessary to reboot

417

: 00:16:56

this movie the way they did.

418

: 00:16:58

Katie: to your opinion.

419

: 00:16:59

I like, disagree in that.

420

: 00:17:02

It was fun because so I

1st, okay, I, I agree.

421

: 00:17:06

I will start off with a positive.

422

: 00:17:08

I think it started out.

423

: 00:17:09

Okay.

424

: 00:17:09

I kind of liked the opening scene

where, you know, Jake runs that scam

425

: 00:17:16

on the, the underground like MMA thing.

426

: 00:17:18

And that's when we see Post Malone who

did not get in shape for this movie.

427

: 00:17:22

Jamie: Yeah.

428

: 00:17:23

Katie: You know, again, like

I think the act, the acting

429

: 00:17:25

was pretty good all around.

430

: 00:17:26

The music was pretty good.

431

: 00:17:27

, I especially liked that Metallica

song at the end, like the

432

: 00:17:31

end fight that that comes in.

433

: 00:17:33

There was a nod to the original

that I liked with the western book.

434

: 00:17:37

The character's name is Wade

he's protecting the double X.

435

: 00:17:42

The double D anyway, I kind of like that.

436

: 00:17:44

But then immediately when there was a

fight scene, I was like, oh, hell no.

437

: 00:17:49

No, what was the CGI or

AI or whatever it removed?

438

: 00:17:56

I did not care.

439

: 00:17:58

was like

440

: 00:17:59

Jamie: It was pretty weird.

441

: 00:18:00

Yeah.

442

: 00:18:01

Yeah.

443

: 00:18:01

It's like a video game.

444

: 00:18:02

Yeah.

445

: 00:18:03

Katie: removed all stakes for me.

446

: 00:18:04

Jamie: Yeah.

447

: 00:18:05

Yeah.

448

: 00:18:05

Yeah.

449

: 00:18:06

Katie: and so then it just kept

doing it and I just was eye rolling.

450

: 00:18:10

I, it made it boring for me

because I don't, I no longer care.

451

: 00:18:14

It took me out of the

452

: 00:18:14

Jamie: Uh,

453

: 00:18:16

Katie: It, I hated it.

454

: 00:18:17

That's what was so, that's

what's in a regular action movie

455

: 00:18:22

like the original Roadhouse.

456

: 00:18:23

It's real fighting, like real stunts.

457

: 00:18:25

There, we care because we've, Feel like

somebody is actually getting hurt in this.

458

: 00:18:31

It's I don't care.

459

: 00:18:31

It's clearly just like a cartoon.

460

: 00:18:34

don't know.

461

: 00:18:34

What do you Milo?

462

: 00:18:35

Are you in agreement

463

: 00:18:36

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: 100%.

464

: 00:18:38

Yeah

465

: 00:18:38

Jamie: I'm not saying I

don't disagree with you.

466

: 00:18:40

I just, I'm saying maybe at first

I appreciate the attempt to do

467

: 00:18:44

something a little different than

the choppy cut scene crap that I've

468

: 00:18:48

been seeing so much in movies today.

469

: 00:18:50

Do I think it's good though?

470

: 00:18:52

And, and very quickly I got tired of

the fight scenes and it's weird too.

471

: 00:18:56

Cause they're trying to make him this

kind of guy like Dalton was where he's

472

: 00:19:02

kind of Zen and he's, he's kind of

gentle, even though he can kick ass,

473

: 00:19:06

but being kind and gentle doesn't mean

you kick these biker gangs ass and

474

: 00:19:10

then you drive them to the hospital.

475

: 00:19:12

I don't get that because

like they wanted to kill you.

476

: 00:19:16

They wanted to kick your ass.

477

: 00:19:17

You ended up beating your, their ass.

478

: 00:19:19

But then.

479

: 00:19:19

You drive them to the hospital and

you're completely vulnerable to, to them.

480

: 00:19:25

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

yeah, they're all

481

: 00:19:25

Jamie: And you don't think that

they're gonna just donkey punch you

482

: 00:19:28

right in the back of the head come on.

483

: 00:19:31

I mean, there's being zen,

and then there's being dumb.

484

: 00:19:34

Katie: then they do come

for him again later.

485

: 00:19:36

486

: 00:19:36

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

yeah, they do.

487

: 00:19:37

Katie: little and they and they like

everybody in town clearly knows who he is.

488

: 00:19:42

So we get the idea again to sort of like

the original oh, Dalton, he's famous.

489

: 00:19:48

But this Dalton is famous for not

being able to control his anger.

490

: 00:19:53

And he killed someone in the octagon.

491

: 00:19:56

But somehow these biker people don't

like everybody else knows him, but

492

: 00:20:00

Jamie: You'd think the biker people

would be the first to recognize him

493

: 00:20:08

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Well, the thing with that, the

494

: 00:20:09

fight sequences to like, so he gets

stabbed in the beginning, right?

495

: 00:20:12

And he's just like, no problem, you know,

wrap some duct tape around it or whatever,

496

: 00:20:16

you know, he doesn't actually do that.

497

: 00:20:17

But basically, you know, so you can you

feel when Patrick Swayze gets hit and he

498

: 00:20:23

goes to the hospital, and she's patching

him up you actually can, he plays it

499

: 00:20:28

in a way where you can see his body

is like, starting to show the effects.

500

: 00:20:32

Yeah.

501

: 00:20:33

Or when Wade shows up is this is

Dalton in the future kind of a thing.

502

: 00:20:37

Whereas with

503

: 00:20:38

Jamie: hmm

504

: 00:20:38

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: he

walks with a limp and stuff like that,

505

: 00:20:41

but like, okay, he's walking with a limp.

506

: 00:20:44

I guess because the director

told him to do that.

507

: 00:20:48

You know, the guy gets

hit by a truck twice.

508

: 00:20:51

The guy gets stabbed.

509

: 00:20:52

You know, the guy gets like,

all this stuff happens to him

510

: 00:20:55

and he just kind of shakes

511

: 00:20:55

Jamie: Well, didn't he get hit by

a train remember that train scene

512

: 00:21:00

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: by a

513

: 00:21:00

Jamie: like what's up with that?

514

: 00:21:02

But why did

515

: 00:21:03

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Because he

516

: 00:21:03

Jamie: like why did that happen?

517

: 00:21:05

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

his mind at the last second.

518

: 00:21:07

Katie: Yeah.

519

: 00:21:09

Jamie: He was what?

520

: 00:21:11

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

So he pulled in

521

: 00:21:11

Jamie: Oh, is that what it was all about?

522

: 00:21:13

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

like, Nope, and then changed his

523

: 00:21:15

mind, but he was too slow, and

the car didn't start right away.

524

: 00:21:19

Jamie: But I didn't get why he's

like that way again what you

525

: 00:21:23

said the director told him to be

suicidal But why are you suicidal

526

: 00:21:27

Katie: Cause he killed someone.

527

: 00:21:28

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Yeah, he killed

528

: 00:21:29

Jamie: oh,

529

: 00:21:31

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Yeah, so he killed

530

: 00:21:31

Jamie: yeah, but I guess I mean

he should just be more like Drago

531

: 00:21:37

and just get over it man, you know

532

: 00:21:40

Katie: But, but yeah, like that,

the, I about died with that.

533

: 00:21:44

The, when he gets hit by the

truck on the bridge or the

534

: 00:21:48

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

535

: 00:21:48

Katie: it is,

536

: 00:21:48

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

537

: 00:21:49

Katie: it goes overboard, I was just

like, this might as well be animated.

538

: 00:21:53

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: It was

539

: 00:21:53

Jamie: Yeah, like he's Wolverine like

he heals at super fast rates and trucks

540

: 00:21:59

just kind of like don't have much effect

on him Yeah, he's basically an X Man.

541

: 00:22:03

He's a mutant

542

: 00:22:04

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: hm.

543

: 00:22:04

Yeah.

544

: 00:22:05

Mm hmm.

545

: 00:22:06

Yeah.

546

: 00:22:07

Katie: The effects were just, that to

me is my biggest complaint of the movie.

547

: 00:22:14

There are others, but that to

me, I was like, I, I'm bored.

548

: 00:22:17

I don't care about this because

it's I feel like I would have

549

: 00:22:21

cared more if it was animated.

550

: 00:22:23

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

551

: 00:22:24

Yeah.

552

: 00:22:24

No, it's true.

553

: 00:22:24

Yeah, that, that bit with the car

where it hits him, that's such the, you

554

: 00:22:28

mentioned the fights already, the bit

with the boat at the end, how it kind

555

: 00:22:32

of like, you know, so the boat, him and

the other guy all get flow, you know,

556

: 00:22:36

knocked way up onto the beach and they

shake it off and then they fight some

557

: 00:22:41

more and it's like, come on, seriously.

558

: 00:22:43

And there's like bad CGI moment as

well with the boat flying up there.

559

: 00:22:47

Like it's so bad.

560

: 00:22:48

Huh.

561

: 00:22:49

Mhm.

562

: 00:22:50

Yeah.

563

: 00:22:51

Katie: Like that final scene was

sort of like, supposed to be like

564

: 00:22:56

the epic final fight between.

565

: 00:22:59

Dalton and Jimmy in the

original that was awesome.

566

: 00:23:04

And he

567

: 00:23:04

Jamie: Mm hmm

568

: 00:23:05

Katie: Like that was an epic fight.

569

: 00:23:08

Jamie: And it was legit too and

Patrick Swayze even got like legit

570

: 00:23:12

injured doing that whole scene

because they were actually doing it

571

: 00:23:17

Katie: I feel like this one, this final

fight was the literal opposite of that.

572

: 00:23:23

573

: 00:23:23

Jamie: Yeah

574

: 00:23:25

Katie: you

575

: 00:23:25

Jamie: Yeah, like it.

576

: 00:23:26

Yeah.

577

: 00:23:28

Well, and then the so

there's this drug guy.

578

: 00:23:30

He he's Like the reason why they're

harassing this bar Owner to begin with

579

: 00:23:36

is they want to like they're building

a resort and she's like holding out So

580

: 00:23:41

he's sending bad guys to harass her and

her in her tiki bar or whatever And after

581

: 00:23:46

all this like We're spoiling it, right?

582

: 00:23:49

So at the end, he's just kind

of lets Jake go, and they, they

583

: 00:23:54

kind of like, they're cool now?

584

: 00:23:57

What, what was that all about?

585

: 00:23:59

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: died.

586

: 00:23:59

Katie: Oh, the sheriff.

587

: 00:24:00

Do you

588

: 00:24:00

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Oh, the sheriff.

589

: 00:24:01

Okay.

590

: 00:24:02

Jamie: Yeah, well, maybe, yeah,

yeah, yeah, that's what I mean.

591

: 00:24:04

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

592

: 00:24:05

I can't keep this character straight

because I actually wasn't paying, I

593

: 00:24:08

wasn't paying attention to be honest.

594

: 00:24:11

Katie: to that point, Jamie, there's way

595

: 00:24:13

Jamie: I don't,

596

: 00:24:14

Katie: people introduced.

597

: 00:24:15

Jamie: know who's who, I

don't even know their names.

598

: 00:24:17

In fact, I don't even know the

name by the Conor McGregor.

599

: 00:24:20

I don't really, I don't remember his name.

600

: 00:24:22

I just called Conor McGregor because

he's basically Conor McGregor.

601

: 00:24:25

Right.

602

: 00:24:25

And I called Dalton.

603

: 00:24:28

I call him Jake.

604

: 00:24:29

I'm just calling him by the

actor's name because I don't know.

605

: 00:24:32

And I got all these, you got all these.

606

: 00:24:34

Oh, and then he meets

the girl at the hospital.

607

: 00:24:36

Right.

608

: 00:24:36

Katie: Doc.

609

: 00:24:37

Jamie: kind of there.

610

: 00:24:38

But not really, and she's

kinda boring as shit.

611

: 00:24:41

Katie: Yeah, I don't care

about their relationship.

612

: 00:24:44

There was no hot sex scene.

613

: 00:24:47

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

totally.

614

: 00:24:48

Come on.

615

: 00:24:48

That was like a key moment of

the original Roadhouse movie.

616

: 00:24:52

Katie: Yeah.

617

: 00:24:52

They had one half ass date

where they kiss, barely.

618

: 00:24:56

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Mm hmm.

619

: 00:24:57

Jamie: Was this rated R?

620

: 00:24:59

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

is, like, why is she

621

: 00:25:00

Jamie: So if it's rated

R, get a little Jake get

622

: 00:25:03

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

actually

623

: 00:25:04

Jamie: his butt in there a little

more, maybe get a little T& A in there.

624

: 00:25:08

Katie: know.

625

: 00:25:09

Jamie: R anyway, you know?

626

: 00:25:10

Let's go for it.

627

: 00:25:10

We did it at the end.

628

: 00:25:14

The post credits.

629

: 00:25:15

We got him strutting around

in these high high shorts.

630

: 00:25:19

I like he wear the high high

shorts, but like a blazer.

631

: 00:25:23

Katie: Yeah.

632

: 00:25:24

Well, he was naked underneath the blazer.

633

: 00:25:26

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

at the beginning,

634

: 00:25:27

Jamie: Just got,

635

: 00:25:27

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: off.

636

: 00:25:28

Jamie: he's got this dumb strut.

637

: 00:25:31

Like tough guy strut, like over

the top like you said, cartoonish.

638

: 00:25:34

It's very cartoonish.

639

: 00:25:36

The whole thing is a cartoon.

640

: 00:25:38

Katie: I

641

: 00:25:39

Jamie: Look guys, I'm not

saying I like this movie.

642

: 00:25:41

Katie: like there were

too many bad people.

643

: 00:25:44

Like how many guys were

644

: 00:25:45

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

645

: 00:25:46

Katie: by Brandt and his dad?

646

: 00:25:49

unnecessarily.

647

: 00:25:51

A ton of

648

: 00:25:52

Jamie: Unnecessary.

649

: 00:25:54

The whole thing was unnecessary.

650

: 00:25:56

It was unnecessary to make it.

651

: 00:25:57

It's unnecessary to have all

the characters that they did.

652

: 00:26:01

It's unnecessary, look, if you're going

to try to do some CGI fight stuff.

653

: 00:26:05

That you did, I, I can kind of respect

that cause it's, at least it's a little

654

: 00:26:09

different from the chop cut thing, but

not for, maybe try to make a better movie

655

: 00:26:14

and try that if you're going to try to

do different things, like the matrix,

656

: 00:26:19

they had that bullet time and all that.

657

: 00:26:20

Right.

658

: 00:26:21

It was all very new, but it was,

it was, it was a good movie too.

659

: 00:26:24

It was kind of, it was a good movie.

660

: 00:26:27

Unlike this, it's not a good movie.

661

: 00:26:29

So all of the stuff you were trying

to do with the cool CGI fight

662

: 00:26:32

scenes that might have been kind

of revolutionary ish, didn't work.

663

: 00:26:36

Katie: CGI scenes?

664

: 00:26:37

Jamie: Yeah,

665

: 00:26:38

Katie: mean?

666

: 00:26:39

The abysmal of it?

667

: 00:26:43

Is that what you mean, Jamie?

668

: 00:26:44

Jamie: yeah, it didn't.

669

: 00:26:46

It was.

670

: 00:26:47

I miss good fight scenes.

671

: 00:26:49

That's why I met and a lot of people.

672

: 00:26:51

Maybe they didn't see the original

roadhouse like younger people,

673

: 00:26:55

but it had some good fight scenes

because they were really funny.

674

: 00:26:59

Fighting their head choreography and and

that's what I miss is it like you said

675

: 00:27:05

Katie you have stakes in it when you have

this multi vector CGI ish cartoon fight

676

: 00:27:11

scene You don't really care about them

because you think that they're Wile E.

677

: 00:27:15

Coyote fighting with the

Roadrunner or something It's

678

: 00:27:17

you know, they can't get hurt.

679

: 00:27:18

I might as well be watching Roger Rabbit,

you know Like they can't get they can't

680

: 00:27:23

get hurt Because they're cartoons.

681

: 00:27:28

Stupid, stupid, stupid movie.

682

: 00:27:30

It's

683

: 00:27:33

Katie: Well,

684

: 00:27:33

Jamie: kind of fun though, but

it's I don't know if I have dread.

685

: 00:27:37

Katie: how bad it

686

: 00:27:38

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Yeah, and it was to watch it.

687

: 00:27:40

Totally.

688

: 00:27:40

Yeah.

689

: 00:27:41

Jamie: Well, you watched it twice.

690

: 00:27:43

691

: 00:27:43

But respect for you, Katie, because

as much as I, I know you hate it,

692

: 00:27:48

and I, I dislike it very much.

693

: 00:27:51

But I would never watch this

again, let alone twice in a short

694

: 00:27:54

period of time like you did.

695

: 00:27:55

I've, you're, you suffer for

your craft, girl, you do.

696

: 00:27:59

You're like, I'm a podcaster and

this is what I do, and if I have to

697

: 00:28:02

suffer for my craft, I'm gonna do it.

698

: 00:28:04

And you watched that piece of shit twice.

699

: 00:28:06

Good job!

700

: 00:28:07

Katie: the first time I was boozed

up and not paying close attention,

701

: 00:28:10

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

I don't know.

702

: 00:28:11

Katie: I had to re watch it

703

: 00:28:12

Jamie: Well,

704

: 00:28:12

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

should have been boozed up.

705

: 00:28:14

After

706

: 00:28:15

Jamie: you see, listeners,

707

: 00:28:17

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

actually.

708

: 00:28:18

After the movie, my wife was

like, You want a whiskey?

709

: 00:28:21

And I'm like, Oh yeah.

710

: 00:28:23

Katie: Mm hmm.

711

: 00:28:23

It's

712

: 00:28:24

Jamie: but you see, Listeners of the

RetroMade podcast, how much Katie

713

: 00:28:28

sacrifices her time and mental, you

know, her mental stability for you guys.

714

: 00:28:34

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

715

: 00:28:34

Jamie: So, I think you

should appreciate that.

716

: 00:28:37

Tell all your friends about her podcast

because she suffers for her art.

717

: 00:28:41

Katie: Thanks, Jamie.

718

: 00:28:42

Yeah,

719

: 00:28:42

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

720

: 00:28:44

Katie: at least Jake is attractive.

721

: 00:28:46

There's, there's that.

722

: 00:28:48

It was, you know, he got

in really nice shape.

723

: 00:28:51

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

724

: 00:28:51

Did you

725

: 00:28:52

Jamie: Yeah, and I don't think

he's ever a bad actor either.

726

: 00:28:54

I think he was good in this.

727

: 00:28:56

It's just a shitty movie.

728

: 00:28:57

You know, you got bad

actors in shitty movies.

729

: 00:28:59

What are you gonna do?

730

: 00:29:00

Or good actors in bad movies, whatever.

731

: 00:29:02

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: have

a hard time I mean, yeah, he's ripped

732

: 00:29:05

and all that kind of stuff, but I still

have a hard time Picturing him as a

733

: 00:29:08

tough guy because of he has a very nice

guy voice and just kind of a nice guy.

734

: 00:29:13

Look to him.

735

: 00:29:14

So like, when, when,

736

: 00:29:15

Katie: is nice guy.

737

: 00:29:16

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: And

so when Patrick Swayze says the line of

738

: 00:29:18

nobody wins in a fight or whatever, you

believe it to where is Jake is just kind

739

: 00:29:23

of like, okay, he's kind of a nice guy.

740

: 00:29:25

I just, in general, Swayze

has kind of a rougher.

741

: 00:29:29

know, manly your voice and when

Jake is delivering his lines,

742

: 00:29:34

you're kind of like, okay, whatever.

743

: 00:29:36

Nice guy.

744

: 00:29:36

Jake.

745

: 00:29:38

kind of thing.

746

: 00:29:38

So,

747

: 00:29:39

Katie: There

748

: 00:29:39

Jamie: maybe that's why

they picked him, right?

749

: 00:29:42

Because he's supposed to

be kind of a nice guy.

750

: 00:29:45

So that's why it kind of works

in my opinion is because he's

751

: 00:29:48

supposed to be kind of a night.

752

: 00:29:50

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

it's time to not be nice.

753

: 00:29:51

Yeah.

754

: 00:29:56

Jamie: And that brings

up a good point in that.

755

: 00:29:58

I don't think this, we all

agree that we think the original

756

: 00:30:02

roadhouse isn't so bad, it's good.

757

: 00:30:04

And it's not even bad at all.

758

: 00:30:05

It's actually, it's not even just, okay.

759

: 00:30:07

It's good.

760

: 00:30:08

We like that movie.

761

: 00:30:09

And one of the big things that had

about it, that this movie missed.

762

: 00:30:13

Is there was a lot of philosophy.

763

: 00:30:16

I suppose he's kind of empowering his

bouncers and he's not even a bouncer.

764

: 00:30:20

He's a UFC fighter.

765

: 00:30:22

Patrick Swayze was a bouncer.

766

: 00:30:24

Like the original Dalton was a bouncer.

767

: 00:30:26

That's what he did.

768

: 00:30:27

Milo and I both wrote articles

after our last podcast about.

769

: 00:30:32

Business lessons you can learn

like in change management

770

: 00:30:35

from Dalton from Roadhouse.

771

: 00:30:36

You can't learn any of that here You

can't because he's he kind of empowers.

772

: 00:30:41

He's yeah, don't worry You can go

kick that guy's ass and then the

773

: 00:30:43

guy his bouncer kicks the guy's ass.

774

: 00:30:45

He's like, oh i'm empowered

You're like, okay.

775

: 00:30:47

Yeah, I don't I don't really buy it

though because Dalton had rules There

776

: 00:30:51

was a whole scene when the original

one where Dalton sat his people down.

777

: 00:30:54

He's like, these are the rules.

778

: 00:30:56

By the way, you're fired.

779

: 00:30:57

You're fired.

780

: 00:30:57

And I'm a businessman.

781

: 00:30:58

I'm a professional bouncer.

782

: 00:31:00

I'm a cooler baby.

783

: 00:31:01

That's what I do.

784

: 00:31:02

And he's just some kind of a UFC fighter.

785

: 00:31:05

And he's not even really a bouncer.

786

: 00:31:06

There's nothing to learn from him.

787

: 00:31:08

So,

788

: 00:31:08

Katie: The best that he could come

up with was lift with your knees.

789

: 00:31:12

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

790

: 00:31:13

Katie: That was, that was his advice

to the other bouncer bartenders.

791

: 00:31:17

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

I realize it.

792

: 00:31:17

Yeah.

793

: 00:31:20

Jamie: at lurking at like the safe way.

794

: 00:31:23

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

795

: 00:31:23

Stocking shelves and stuff.

796

: 00:31:24

Jamie: Because every stock, you're

stocking your shelves, hey, lift with

797

: 00:31:27

your knees, and he'd be, he'd be kind

of on the safety committee at, at, at

798

: 00:31:31

the warehouse, that's great, but there's

not, the original Dalton had that kind

799

: 00:31:36

of philosophical action, you could feel

it in this guy, he's just kind of like,

800

: 00:31:40

ah, I'm depressed, I killed a guy,

I'm kind of suicidal, I'm not really a

801

: 00:31:44

bouncer, but I'm in good shape, whatever.

802

: 00:31:47

Katie: It's very disjointed.

803

: 00:31:48

What I, what it felt like to me was that

this movie was a project for writers.

804

: 00:31:56

They gave each writer,

go write some scenes,

805

: 00:32:00

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

806

: 00:32:00

Katie: the scenes all

independent from each other

807

: 00:32:03

Jamie: silos

808

: 00:32:05

Katie: yes.

809

: 00:32:05

And then they're like, oh, we're

just going to cobble them together

810

: 00:32:08

and call it a final product.

811

: 00:32:09

That's what this feels like to

812

: 00:32:11

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Yeah, that's probably about right.

813

: 00:32:13

Okay, you, you get the bar scenes.

814

: 00:32:15

All right, you get the scenes

in the bad guy clubhouse.

815

: 00:32:18

You get the boat stuff.

816

: 00:32:20

Jamie: and the little two year

old Jimmy you get the love scenes,

817

: 00:32:23

which is why we don't get any

like the hot and steamy action

818

: 00:32:28

Katie: So the, there were some similar

beats you know, the doc super fell flat,

819

: 00:32:36

like the, the waitress bartender that kind

of digs Dalton that, I mean, you know, the

820

: 00:32:41

big bad guys, but I wanted to get your,

I think it all fell flat in my opinion,

821

: 00:32:45

but what did you guys think of, so instead

of red and his like auto parts store

822

: 00:32:51

or hardware store or whatever it was,

823

: 00:32:53

Jamie: It's the bookstore guy, right?

824

: 00:32:55

Katie: think about that?

825

: 00:32:57

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: You

know, to be honest, I was okay with that.

826

: 00:32:59

Of all the things that I hated about

this movie, that wasn't one of them.

827

: 00:33:03

I liked the relationship that he had

with Red and it made sense because of

828

: 00:33:05

the car parts, but since he doesn't

have a car, he you know, Yeah.

829

: 00:33:09

Be friends, the girl at

the bookstore and the guy.

830

: 00:33:12

And that was a nice little bit.

831

: 00:33:14

I think so.

832

: 00:33:15

Yeah.

833

: 00:33:15

Katie: Okay.

834

: 00:33:16

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: You

835

: 00:33:17

Jamie: I don't think they They could

have, in fact, they could have explored

836

: 00:33:23

that more and maybe that would have

made this a little more interesting

837

: 00:33:26

if they had some kind of more of a

relationship with the bookstore guy.

838

: 00:33:32

He wasn't really there much.

839

: 00:33:34

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

the kid.

840

: 00:33:34

Jamie: I'd actually like to

have seen him more to be honest.

841

: 00:33:37

Yeah, there, yeah.

842

: 00:33:38

Katie: she's a teenager, but he calls

her the, where's the little girl?

843

: 00:33:40

Well, she's not a little girl,

but yeah, I feel like again,

844

: 00:33:44

like they didn't show us enough.

845

: 00:33:46

the relationship that they had for

him to care so much because the

846

: 00:33:50

bookstore getting torched was what

made him change his mind to go

847

: 00:33:54

back into town and finish it.

848

: 00:33:57

I feel like we were shown that he

met her once and spoke to her twice.

849

: 00:34:02

And I just didn't, I, I agree.

850

: 00:34:04

I think they should have leaned into

that more and built on that more

851

: 00:34:07

and cut out a bunch of other stuff.

852

: 00:34:08

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Oh, totally

853

: 00:34:09

Jamie: Yeah, but you and

you had over two hours.

854

: 00:34:11

So you probably you you probably could

have cut some of that out and explored

855

: 00:34:18

that more because that's a long ass movie.

856

: 00:34:20

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

857

: 00:34:20

Jamie: That's probably the

biggest one of the biggest

858

: 00:34:22

problems I had with this is this.

859

: 00:34:24

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

And especially because,

860

: 00:34:25

Jamie: Why do they make

movies so long nowadays?

861

: 00:34:29

Katie: I have no

862

: 00:34:30

Jamie: I thought people

had short attention spans.

863

: 00:34:33

Like why are they making long movies?

864

: 00:34:34

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

well, it's because

865

: 00:34:35

Jamie: It's so long.

866

: 00:34:36

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

the whole time they're watching the

867

: 00:34:37

movie, so they're not really paying

868

: 00:34:40

Katie: if the story warrants

it, I have no problem.

869

: 00:34:43

If it's a good movie and it's

long, I'm like, I'm getting,

870

: 00:34:45

I'm, I want more if something's

871

: 00:34:47

Jamie: Yeah.

872

: 00:34:49

Katie: I, I feel like this

wasn't very disciplined.

873

: 00:34:53

That's why it's long.

874

: 00:34:54

Like they weren't able to get

875

: 00:34:56

Jamie: They don't know what to do with it.

876

: 00:34:57

They don't know what to cut

or what to add or whatever.

877

: 00:35:01

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Did

you guys, so here's another thing that

878

: 00:35:03

we haven't mentioned is since we've

mentioned fight sequences, you notice

879

: 00:35:06

how in the bar, the roadhouse, there's

just fights randomly breaking out

880

: 00:35:10

constantly throughout the movie, but

there's no point to them other than a

881

: 00:35:13

fight breaking out where it's like in the

original movie, a fight breaks out in the

882

: 00:35:17

bar, but there's kind of a point to it.

883

: 00:35:18

Yeah.

884

: 00:35:19

You know, and suddenly they're

just like, fight breaks out.

885

: 00:35:21

You're like, why?

886

: 00:35:23

didn't they just get into a fight?

887

: 00:35:24

There's literally no reason for it.

888

: 00:35:27

Totally.

889

: 00:35:29

Katie: Milo.

890

: 00:35:30

Fights for zero reason.

891

: 00:35:32

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

It's Oh, we've got this

892

: 00:35:33

beautiful bar on the beach.

893

: 00:35:34

There's music playing.

894

: 00:35:35

You know what?

895

: 00:35:36

Let's get in a fight because that's what

we do on vacation here in the Florida.

896

: 00:35:40

Jamie: Yeah, that's right.

897

: 00:35:42

It's not like this, like the

roadhouse in the original was kind

898

: 00:35:46

of a dive and you could feel that.

899

: 00:35:48

And it's somewhere in

Missouri in some shit town.

900

: 00:35:52

So you'd expect, okay, maybe this

is rough and tumble, but this is a

901

: 00:35:55

pretty nice little tiki, this is a

nice tiki place on the Florida Keys.

902

: 00:35:59

This is the place where

people with money go.

903

: 00:36:01

Like, why are people getting

to fight so much here?

904

: 00:36:04

It's a pretty nice place actually,

for a place called Roadhouse.

905

: 00:36:08

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

no reason at all.

906

: 00:36:10

Let's fight.

907

: 00:36:10

All right.

908

: 00:36:12

Jamie: Because the dirt, because they

told you, that's a lot with this movie

909

: 00:36:14

is they tell you that's what happened.

910

: 00:36:16

Hey, this place has a lot of fights.

911

: 00:36:17

Look, there's some fights.

912

: 00:36:19

Katie: There is a fair amount

of scenes for the sole sake of

913

: 00:36:22

explaining what's happening.

914

: 00:36:24

Jamie: Yeah.

915

: 00:36:25

Katie: they aren't showing us in a

constructive way what's happening.

916

: 00:36:30

What did you guys think

of his compensation?

917

: 00:36:33

Vastly different than the original.

918

: 00:36:36

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah.

919

: 00:36:36

Yeah.

920

: 00:36:38

Katie: original.

921

: 00:36:38

We're like, damn, that's a lot of money.

922

: 00:36:41

Jamie: Yeah.

923

: 00:36:41

Katie: This listeners is

5k a week for a month.

924

: 00:36:45

20 K.

925

: 00:36:47

That is not cutting it for me.

926

: 00:36:48

Hell no.

927

: 00:36:49

I'm not like going to

bust my ass for 20 K.

928

: 00:36:54

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Well, he, you know, I mean, he's, he's

929

: 00:36:57

fighting in the underground octagon rings

for whatever the winnings is of that.

930

: 00:37:02

So he has no money.

931

: 00:37:03

He doesn't have a car.

932

: 00:37:05

Katie: That's true.

933

: 00:37:05

He's homeless.

934

: 00:37:06

Otherwise.

935

: 00:37:07

Yeah.

936

: 00:37:08

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

But then, you know, and then he

937

: 00:37:10

what leaves all the money behind

at the end kind of thing, whatever.

938

: 00:37:14

Jamie: Which, whatever.

939

: 00:37:17

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

have left some of the money.

940

: 00:37:18

And then take, taking

some of the money, right?

941

: 00:37:20

And he doesn't leave any

to the bar owner, right?

942

: 00:37:23

Conveniently, the boat.

943

: 00:37:25

Yeah, exactly.

944

: 00:37:26

So the boat, which conveniently wrecks

into the bar out of the entire beach

945

: 00:37:29

area that, you know, island that

it could have ran into when it goes

946

: 00:37:33

rushing up onto the beach, hits this

particular bar, completely destroys it.

947

: 00:37:38

And he leaves none of that nice

chunk of money to the bar owner.

948

: 00:37:42

He leaves it all to the bookstore.

949

: 00:37:45

Katie: That's a

950

: 00:37:46

Jamie: Maybe he just likes books.

951

: 00:37:47

He thinks people should
