Episode 19
Captain Ron | S1E19
Today, we go back to September 1992 for the adventure comedy, Captain Ron. As always, we touch on all the other “happenings” of the time in the time capsule.
I’m delighted to be joined by my lovely friend, Shannon Skalka. Being a product of the 80’s, Shannon has a penchant for all things rad and tubular. She considers herself an expert on all the fads from that bodacious era and has the Members Only jacket to prove it. She is a proud aunt of two awesome nieces (and does her best to immerse them in 80’s nostalgia whenever possible). If she's not watching The Goonies for the 217th time she's brunching with friends or creating academic essays for her MBA. You can find Shannon on Facebook and Instagram.

6
:the time in the time capsule.
7
:I am so happy to be joined by my
lovely friend Shannon Salka today.
8
:Shannon, a true product of the
eighties with her members only jacket.
9
:To prove it is one of my best boozy
Brunching buddies, but she decided to
10
:move away last year, so I'm thrilled
to welcome her on Retro Made from Afar.
11
:Shannon, thank you for,
uh, joining me today.
12
:Shannon: Yes.
13
:Hello Katie.
14
:Thank you for having me.
15
:Very excited to dive back into 92.
16
:Katie: Well, let's get right
into it by opening the time
17
:capsule from September of 1992.
18
:We, there's some pretty good tv.
19
:So this is, uh, the season 92 to 93.
20
:And so for Nielsen ratings, the
top shows, number one I feel
21
:like almost always is Roseanne.
22
:Did you watch Roseanne or
do you still watch Roseanne?
23
:Shannon: Watch Roseanne.
24
:My parents would tape it, videotape
it, and then mark on the tape in pen.
25
:On tape Roseanne.
26
:Yeah.
27
:a
28
:whole library of, of Roseanne episodes.
29
:Katie: It really is a good show.
30
:I still watch it like to fall
asleep to um, then we have
31
:home improvement, Murphy Brown
32
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
33
:Katie: Murder.
34
:She wrote, coach.
35
:Cheers.
36
:Of course.
37
:full house, TGIF, baby with full house.
38
:And then the last one
is Northern Exposure.
39
:Did you ever watch that or do
you recall anything from it?
40
:Shannon: I recall it, uh, was it
about like in Alaska and they, it
41
:was like a dramedy on CBS, right?
42
:Katie: Oh God, you
remember the network even?
43
:I believe you're correct.
44
:And yes, it's a fictional town in Alaska
and it's John Corbett, apparently.
45
:I vaguely remember watching this, but
don't really remember anything from it.
46
:But yeah, that's Northern Exposure
47
:Shannon: I think my parents
might have had it on,
48
:but it wasn't, yeah, it
wasn't a show we watched.
49
:Mm-Hmm.
50
:Katie: A big one.
51
:Yeah.
52
:Yeah.
53
:I probably was not in the top shows.
54
:Maybe this is, its only season
that it eked in the top 10.
55
:But then we have some really notable
finales that weren't necessarily.
56
:In the top shows, but the Gold, this
is The Golden Girls Last season.
57
:That's one of my favorite shows ever.
58
:Shannon: It
59
:is.
60
:And I remember, I remember the final
episode, Dorothy Mary's Blanche's
61
:uncle, which seemed odd to me
that her uncle was still alive,
62
:now that I'm thinking about it.
63
:Um, but yeah, I remember that episode.
64
:Katie: and it was Leslie Nielsen
65
:who played him, right?
66
:Shannon: Yes, it was.
67
:. Katie: Did you watch Growing Pains?
68
:I feel like that epitomizes
like my childhood to
69
:Shannon: I can probably still sing the
70
:song.
71
:I loved growing pains.
72
:you know, we were more of,
like you were mentioning coach,
73
:that was a big one with my, in
74
:our household, Murphy Brown, Monday
75
:Nights, Murphy Brown.
76
:I could probably name every
night that those shows.
77
:We're on because we set
our schedule by the shows.
78
:It's so different now
where you don't have to,
79
:Katie: Yeah.
80
:Shannon: you don't have to be
in front of your TV at eight
81
:o'clock on Tuesday night to watch
Roseanne, you know, you can stream
82
:it, whatever.
83
:Um, so yeah.
84
:You, you would set your watch by what
shows were on that, that evening?
85
:Katie: Good memory.
86
:I don't think I could, I just
have such a terrible memory.
87
:But that is a good point.
88
:Even now, I mean, my brain is mush anyway,
but when I'm telling someone about a show
89
:or just at brunch or with whoever, like,
oh, have you seen blah, blah, blah show?
90
:And they'll be like,
what streamer is it on?
91
:And I'm like, I don't, I don't remember.
92
:Like, I can't even recall which
show is on which streamer.
93
:So this is not helping matters.
94
:Shannon: Those were shows.
95
:There was like four networks.
96
:I mean, it was going to be A B,
97
:CC, B-S-N-B-C or PBS.
98
:So it was one of those, you
didn't have to say, oh, it's on
99
:Netflix, but it's also on freebie.
100
:Or if you have a Roku, you
101
:could probably catch it.
102
:Yeah.
103
:You either had the stations or you
104
:didn't.
105
:If you didn't have any,
106
:Katie: and,
107
:and Fox.
108
:Fox comes into play
109
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
110
:Katie: around this time, which we'll get
into, uh, a show that wasn't on very long.
111
:Also, oh my God, the salute Your Shorts.
112
:It was their final year.
113
:Who's the boss?
114
:Night Court, Cosby Show.
115
:All of those.
116
:MacGyver, all of those.
117
:This is their final year.
118
:So it's, I feel like this is like turning
from like the eighties into the nineties,
119
:even though this is 92, like there's
a clear shift in the type of show.
120
:Shannon: Yeah.
121
:Katie: also the young writers,
did you ever watch that TV show?
122
:Shannon: The young writers.
123
:Katie: It was like set in Old West.
124
:Shannon: No.
125
:Katie: Um, yeah, it was cowboys.
126
:It was like the Pony Express.
127
:And there were some good-looking
it, good-looking men in it, josh
128
:Brolin was in it as an example.
129
:Mm-Hmm.
130
:Shannon: So kind of like a young
gun spinoff, it sounds like.
131
:Katie: Yeah.
132
:Yeah, yeah.
133
:Very similar
134
:esque to that.
135
:But yes.
136
:So, um, talking about kind of turning the
ship from the eighties into the nineties,
137
:the shows that premiered this season.
138
:So Golden Girls Ended, but Golden Palace
139
:began.
140
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
141
:Katie: Uh, I actually only
watched that like pretty recently.
142
:It's not nearly as good
143
:Shannon: No,
144
:Katie: the Golden Girls,
145
:Shannon: I think it was
only on a season too.
146
:Or like
147
:one or two seasons at the most.
148
:Yeah.
149
:Katie: Mm-Hmm.
150
:. But it did have like Cheech Marin and who
was the hotel manager who's like really
151
:famous now, but at the time he wasn't.
152
:It's gonna bother me.
153
:It is Don Cheadle.
154
:Shannon: Don.
155
:That's right.
156
:Oh my gosh.
157
:Katie: Don Cheadle.
158
:Shannon: It's hard to think
that he's like of, he was that
159
:age that he could be in a show.
160
:I didn't realize he was up
that up that far in years.
161
:Katie: I mean, he was pretty young.
162
:He like was managing the hotel, but yeah.
163
:Don Cheadle Golden Palace.
164
:Okay.
165
:Do you remember the Heights
166
:Shannon: Is
167
:that a Fox show?
168
:Katie: It was a mu yes.
169
:Yes it was.
170
:And it lasted for less than a season.
171
:You will.
172
:Okay.
173
:It was a musical drama.
174
:It only lasted for partial season on Fox.
175
:And the theme to it went to number one on
the billboards by one of the cast members.
176
:Jamie Walters.
177
:How do you talk to an angel?
178
:Do you remember that?
179
:Shannon: you talk
180
:to an angel?
181
:Yes.
182
:Katie: an named?
183
:Yes.
184
:Shannon: I love that.
185
:Katie: Well, that was from this TV show.
186
:Shannon: Jamie Walters wasn't
he on 9 0 2 1 Oh as well.
187
:Katie: Yeah.
188
:Yeah, I think so.
189
:Yep.
190
:Like in the later years?
191
:Yeah.
192
:Shannon: Yes.
193
:Katie: And then The Real
World started this year.
194
:Shannon: And that would've been
real world New York or, or la
195
:Katie: Mm-Hmm.
196
:Shannon: was the very first
197
:Katie: season one.
198
:Season one was New York.
199
:And that was like with the
cast with, um, Heather B.
200
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
201
:.Yes.
202
:Yeah, I remember that.
203
:Katie: so,
204
:that was like 30 years ago.
205
:, that's crazy Town.
206
:Picket Fences is another show that
I like, kind of have like vaguely.
207
:It, it premiered this year.
208
:Um,
209
:Shannon: Remember that a little bit?
210
:Katie: remembers the show.
211
:I don't remember.
212
:So it's a David E.
213
:Kelly drama that I, I didn't recall that.
214
:Or I, at the time, obviously I didn't
really care who directed or produced
215
:things, but it was with Tom Scar, Kathy
Baker, Lauren Holly, Holly Marie Combs.
216
:I think it was another one of
those dramas, probably on a, B, C.
217
:Shannon: I think it was CBS
218
:Katie: Okay.
219
:That's probably right.
220
:I can't believe you remem you
have such a good memory of that,
221
:Shannon: We had,
222
:we had four stations that we could choose
from because we, we were not lucky enough
223
:to have cable to have a satellite dish.
224
:Uh,
225
:so you, you know, you really had to open
up your, um, open up your options if you
226
:wanted to be entertained that evening.
227
:Katie: that, that evening.
228
:Yes, indeed.
229
:Uh, so do you remember California Dreams?
230
:It was basically like a lesser
version of Saved by the Bell,
231
:Shannon: I can sing
232
:Katie: how I would describe it.
233
:Shannon: Loved California Dreams,
234
:Katie: You did.
235
:Shannon: with Attitude.
236
:Chronic gro,
237
:Katie: Oh my.
238
:Shannon: laid back moves sky above, sand,
be low, good vibrations, feeling mellow.
239
:Loved that show.
240
:It was a little bit more of
241
:Katie: Oh my
242
:Shannon: Saved by the Bell.
243
:They were
244
:Katie: Okay.
245
:Okay.
246
:Shannon: I think the characters,
247
:it wasn't the gut bubblegum pop.
248
:Um, I think that
249
:the, the problems were a bit
more serious, more teen oriented.
250
:Where Saved By the Bell was geared
towards four year olds to 24 year
251
:olds in college, um, who were just
252
:waking up that morning.
253
:Yeah.
254
:So, but I loved California Dreams.
255
:Katie: What about Melrose Place?
256
:Shannon: Melrose Place.
257
:Yeah.
258
:You know, I didn't get into
Melrose Place until I was in
259
:college because we didn't have
260
:Fox and I didn't
261
:Katie: Fox wasn't one of the, it didn't.
262
:Why?
263
:That's weird.
264
:I'm, huh.
265
:Shannon: Nebraska in 1992,
266
:Katie: we we had Fox.
267
:I watched all the Fox shows.
268
:So you didn't get to watch like married
with children or anything then either.
269
:Shannon: Not until I was, not
until I was older or at my
270
:grandparents' house.
271
:Yeah.
272
:Like, we could watch it
because my grandparents had
273
:satellite, had a satellite
274
:dish.
275
:Um, and so we could watch it over there.
276
:So I do remember watching some
episodes of Married with Children,
277
:but I don't think we actually, I
really got into it until college.
278
:Katie: Interesting.
279
:Okay.
280
:Melrose was a, that was like an ooh show.
281
:Like
282
:Shannon: right?
283
:Katie: that was appointment TV for sure.
284
:And then some of the other TV shows.
285
:This is very reminiscent of nineties now.
286
:Martin hanging with Mr.
287
:Cooper.
288
:Mad about you.
289
:Like, yeah, so we, we have completely
closed the door in the eighties and
290
:we're full on into the nineties now,
early nineties, which we'll get into now.
291
:The music of.
292
:92.
293
:the specific week of September 18th that
week,:
294
:, the number one song is
It's The End of the Road
295
:Shannon: voice to Men.
296
:Katie: Boys to Men.
297
:Apparently it was from
the movie Boomerang.
298
:I don't really recall it being from
that movie, but Boys to Men Boy,
299
:the early nineties were it for them.
300
:Shannon: Oh yeah, they, they
represented the early nineties.
301
:I think
302
:every song that they put out was platinum
number one on the billboard charts.
303
:Every Saturday you'd listen
304
:to Rick D's in the weekly top
40 and they would be on there
305
:Katie: that just opened a memory for
me when we would, uh, drive I don't
306
:know, two hours away to wherever, like a
relative's house for a holiday or whatever
307
:on Sundays, if it was on a Sunday.
308
:Casey Cassim's show.
309
:Did you ever listen to that on the radio?
310
:Shannon: time.
311
:Remember people would, people would
write in and they would be like, these
312
:human interest stories, and
he would get really serious.
313
:And when he was reading 'em, almost
like the guy who did, and now you
314
:know the rest of the story, he
would sign off and then he'd jump
315
:right into, and now it's locomotion.
316
:Katie: locomotion.
317
:Yep.
318
:Yep.
319
:Shannon: Yeah.
320
:Katie: Do you have

:Katie: Um, I'm gonna have to work
that in somehow, uh, into a season.
326
:The number two song.
327
:Is also like this album was everything.
328
:Baby, baby, baby.
329

know, battling for number one.
360
:Katie: Oh my God.
361
:That's true.
362
:And it's all, there's so much like

363
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
364
:Katie: Not necessarily.
365
:They weren't a band.
366

386
:Katie: it's super weird.
387
:The Ghostly White Short-Haired Girl.
388
:Yeah, I watched it, but I didn't
389
:like it at all, like at
390
:Shannon: up I thought that the, the
two women singing were the same woman.
391
:But now as an adult and seeing that video,
I realize that it's two different women.
392
:Um,
393
:stay with me.
394
:Stay with me.
395
:Yes.
396
:Katie: Yeah, it's terrible.

it and I also don't recall it at
399
:like zero memory of it at all.
400
:I
401
:Shannon: I remember it.
402
:and I remember, um, years ago I was
thinking about it and I was like,
403
:God, what was the name of the group?
404
:And I kept typing in Twisted Sister, which
is a totally different genre of music
405
:Katie: Very different.
406
:Shannon: Yeah.
407
:Katie: Yeah.
408
:Shannon: But luckily, TikTok, um, brought
me, you know, a for your page, and it
409
:was that song and I was like, this is
the song that I loved when I was little.
410
:And I love that song, but the video is
411
:very, very different.
412
:Katie: Strange.
413
:Mm-Hmm.
414
:number five on the billboard.
415
:Top 10 is one of my, it's probably
in my top 10 of all time songs.
416
:November Rain by Guns and Roses.
417
:Shannon: Another
418
:Katie: The video for
this is Spec Spectacular.
419
:Shannon: it's, it's a work of art.
420
:Um, it is a work of art
421
:Katie: It's like 12 minutes long.
422
:Shannon: Oh yeah.
423
:And slash
424
:uh, that really set the stage for
what type of man I was attracted
425
:to was slash where he's playing
426
:the guitar in a field and like
the wind's blowing his shirt open.
427
:You can't see his, his face 'cause his
hair is covering it and he's got his top
428
:hat on
429
:Katie: never see his face.
430
:Shannon: cigarette
hanging out of his mouth.
431
:Oh That was it for me.
432
:Katie: I liked both Axel and slash I.
433
:That video did it for me.
434
:Let me tell you what, I loved it.
435
:Shannon: It was a story.
436
:It was, yeah, it was like a movie.
437
:And Stephanie Seymour, was she
the model in it or the, the bride
438
:Katie: she was, and she and Axel were
like boyfriend girlfriend at the time
439
:Shannon: and I think.
440
:I read somewhere.
441
:Yeah, they were, and I think I
read somewhere that like life was
442
:imitating art for them at that
time that they were having problems
443
:and the video, they were shooting
444
:the video at the same time they
were having these, these issues.
445
:And she
446
:might've, she might've
tried to hurt herself.
447
:Around the same time as the video.
448
:I don't, you know what?
449
:I don't want anybody to attach
450
:any legitimacy to that
statement, but I hate to be
451
:liable.
452
:Katie: also, um, I wanted her dress.
453
:I, when I was little, I, and I was like,
well, when I grew up and get married,
454
:I wanna wear a wedding dress like that.
455
:Like they're super short in
456
:Shannon: short.
457
:Yeah, like a high
458
:low, like she was the, the
459
:Katie: Yeah.
460
:Like the back was long.
461
:Shannon: yeah.
462
:The mullet
463
:Katie: She was beautiful too.
464
:Shannon: Oh Yeah.
465
:absolutely.
466
:Uh
467
:he was very good looking as well.
468
:And uh, then somebody got ahold of him
and convinced him that 17 surgeries in
469
:one year on your face is a good idea.
470
:But poor guy.
471
:I think they were
472
:just in Denver performing
a couple weeks ago.
473
:I think they were just in
474
:Katie: Mm-Hmm.
475
:. They were, yep.
476
:They were recently.
477
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
478
:I wonder what that show is
479
:, Katie: Patty Smith has the number six song
with Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough.
480
:What a, what a lovely song.
481
:That was
482
:Shannon: I don't remember that song.
483
:Katie: You do, you definitely do.
484
:Shannon: Is it a country song?
485
:Katie: Yeah.
486
:I can't sing it.
487
:I can't sing it.
488
:No, but it's like soft.
489
:It's soft.
490
:I don't know what genre I would put it in.
491
:Um,
492
:the opposite of the next song,
which is House of Pains Jump Around.
493
:Um,
494
:Shannon: Junior High
495
:Katie: that I remember liking.
496
:Yep.
497
:Junior.
498
:Yep.
499
:For sure.
500
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
501
:Katie: I do not like this song or artist.
502
:The number eight.
503
:Is just another day by John Cicada or Ada.
504
:I hated him.
505
:I never liked that genre of like,
I didn't like Seal John Akata,
506
:like any of that kind of stuff.
507
:I didn't like it
508
:Shannon: I don't either, and I
don't know if I know the song, but
509
:if you're describing it correctly,
then I'm not a fan either.
510
:Katie: But Elton John has the number
nine song with the one which is not a
511
:super recognizable, like you definitely
know it, you definitely know it once
512
:you hear it, but, , it's not like
one of, I don't ever think of it when
513
:I'm thinking of Elton John songs.
514
:And then the number 10 song, we've
covered this band before and I
515
:don't recall ever hearing of them.
516
:Have you heard of the band High Five?
517
:It's a boy group.
518
:Shannon: Now.
519
:Katie: it's like, um, it's
like a knockoff of Boys to Men.
520
:The song is called, she's Playing Hard to
Get, but it's, it's basically like, yeah.
521
:A poor man's boys to men.
522
:And the video
523
:Shannon: great value,
524
:boys to men,
525
:Katie: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
526
:. Yeah.
527
:The generic version.
528
:But the video's pretty awesome
in that it encompasses:
529
:Like the outfits, the style of video.
530
:It is, everything about it is very 1992
531
:So there's not really a lot
of like interesting news or
532
:events from September of 92.
533
:But John Mellencamp got
married to his third wife.
534
:He was 40, she was 23.
535
:She was a model.
536
:Her name's Elaine Irwin and
they got divorced in:
537
:Shannon: huh?
538
:That's
539
:Katie: What about it is surprising?
540
:Shannon: Uh, well then it didn't last.
541
:Katie: Oh, you were being facetious?
542
:. Well, it lasted a fair amount.
543
:I mean, more
544
:Shannon: When did you
say they got divorced?
545
:Katie: was his third wife.
546
:Oh, 2011.
547
:Shannon: Oh, you're right.
548
:They were married for quite, I
549
:should bite my tongue.
550
:Katie: but I mean, it was his third wife.
551
:I don't know if he's gotten
married again since then.
552
:Is he still dating Meg
Ryan, or is that old news
553
:Shannon: I don't know if he is or not.
554
:And, and
555
:Katie: minute.
556
:Shannon: yeah, they were dating.
557
:Um, I don't know if they are or not.
558
:I listened to
559
:his daughter's podcast, but she's never,
I, the podcast I've listened to is,
560
:she's never talked about Meg Ryan, but
granted I haven't listened to that many.
561
:Katie: Okay.
562
:I didn't know his daughter had a podcast,
but you know what, that's not surprising.
563
:Literally everyone has a podcast.
564
:, Stallone's daughters have one too.
565
:Uh, yeah, so Captain Ron was
actually the number seven movie
566
:at the theaters during this month.
567
:There's some really good ones sneakers,
which I don't know, I've not seen that.
568
:It's like a spy movie.
569
:It's not about shoes.
570
:Shannon: I've never seen it.
571
:Uh, so it is a spy movie.
572
:And who's in it?
573
:Do, why am I thinking
that Brad Pitt is in it?
574
:Katie: I don't,
575
:Shannon: Uh, that's
576
:Katie: um,
577
:Shannon: Or Tommy
578
:Lee Jones.
579
:Katie: thinking of something else.
580
:Maybe, I can't recall.
581
:Shannon: Yeah.
582
:Katie: Yeah.
583
:but Honeymoon in Vegas.
584
:Shannon: Great movie.
585
:Katie: Unforgiven
586
:Shannon: Oh, unforgiveness
is another good one.
587
:Mm-Hmm.
588
:Katie: Yeah.
589
:Single white female.
590
:I adored this movie for some weird reason.
591
:It was, it seemed so
different at the time.
592
:Like, wow, this is something brand new
and yeah, I really liked that movie.
593
:Mm-Hmm.
594
:Shannon: It had hints of
Fatal attraction in it.
595
:Um,
596
:except it was a roommate.
597
:Yeah.
598
:Katie: Yeah.
599
:Mm-Hmm.
600
:Shannon: That was a good movie.
601
:Katie: sister Act,
602
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
603
:That was a good one.
604
:Katie: which is really good.
605
:It's really good.
606
:Shannon: My grandparents had that tape.
607
:That was one that we felt
safe watching at their house.
608
:Like we knew that nothing was gonna be
609
:embarrassing.
610
:We watched a lot of sister
act at my grandparents' house.
611
:Katie: I feel like we maybe
had that one taped too.
612
:We had single white female taped.
613
:I'm pretty sure as well,
614
:Shannon: Uhhuh
615
:Katie: the last of the Mohicans, which
I remember being a big movie, but I
616
:don't recall a single thing about it.
617
:Shannon: I don't know if I ever watched
it, but I remember, I think he won like
618
:the, he always won an Academy Award.
619
:It didn't matter.
620
:He could be,
621
:make a movie about washing
dishes and he'd probably win.
622
:But, um,
623
:Madeline Stowe, who was kind of a
624
:nineties actress and
then, you know, to the
625
:millennium hit and she
faded off into the distance.
626
:Um,
627
:but
628
:Katie: But then she came
back with that revenge show.
629
:Shannon: Oh,
630
:she was on
631
:Katie: with her in it?
632
:Shannon: No,
633
:Katie: Yeah.
634
:Yeah.
635
:Did you watch that show?
636
:Shannon: I didn't watch that show.
637
:That
638
:was Madeline Sto Or are you thinking
of the lady from Dances with Wolves?
639
:Maybe I'm wrong.
640
:Maybe
641
:Katie: It was Madeline Stowe in
revenge as like the rich wife.
642
:I forget what her name is.
643
:Anyway, this next movie I recently
rewatched because it's like Halloweeny.
644
:It's so good.
645
:Death becomes her.
646
:Do you remember that one
647
:Shannon: Who, who keeps calling Helen.
648
:Mad and
649
:hell.
650
:Katie: our, Meryl Streep and
our Kurt Russell's lovely lady,
651
:Goldie Han and Bruce Willis.
652
:It's so good.
653
:Shannon: It's, I mean,
654
:I probably watch it at
least once every six months.
655
:And that was when we saw,
I saw in the movie theater.
656
:I think my aunt took us, um, to see it.
657
:But we, I actually
658
:saw that
659
:Katie: I didn't see it in the theater.
660
:Shannon: Oh yeah.
661
:Great.
662
:Katie: It's one of those where there's a
lot, like a lot would be lost on children.
663
:I feel like it's, it's, it's
a quick, quick witted one.
664
:Mm-Hmm.
665
:And then a League of
666
:Their Own was a big movie release.
667
:Shannon: oh, a League of their Own.
668
:Yep.
669
:Love
670
:that movie too.
671
:I love a league of of their own.
672
:And actually there was a TV show that they
made into, or they made, they made a TV
673
:show from the movie that was short-lived,
674
:Katie: Of a League of their Own.
675
:Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
676
:Katie: Sorry.
677
:I feel like we are, I feel like
there might be a touch of a delay.
678
:so then the last movie that
was a big release for September
679
:of 92 is Pet Cemetery two.
680
:Shannon: Terrible movie.
681
:Katie: I don't recall it.
682
:I liked the first one.
683
:I don't, yeah, I don't know.
684
:Even
685
:Shannon: It was.
686
:Yeah, it is.
687
:It was awful.
688
:It was terrible.
689
:Edward Furlong.
690
:The only thing that was good about that
691
:movie was Edward Furlong.
692
:Um, before Edward Furlong.
693
:Hit the skids.
694
:Um, he was in that movie
695
:Katie: He certainly was.
696
:Okay.
697
:I do have a few last questions for
you before we jump into the movie,
698
:Shannon: Okay.
699
:Katie: just to kind of get your
impressions of Kurt and Patrick.
700
:So this season of Retro Made is dedicated
to who I call the ultimate every men,
701
:both Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze.
702
:Do you have any thoughts or fandom
to share about either of them?
703
:Shannon: Growing up, I think that for me,
Patrick Squeezy was way more recognizable,
704
:simply because I saw dirty dancing at
the tender age of eight, eight or nine.
705
:And then ghost, what was that,
approximately:
706
:Uh, I do, yeah.
707
:And I don't think I became
aware of Kurt Russell as much.
708
:I think I knew who he was.
709
:You know, my folks would maybe
have like, what was it, big
710
:trouble in little China on, in.
711
:in.
712
:Katie: Oh, I love that.
713
:Yes.
714
:Shannon: Yeah, they, I have that on.
715
:But when I saw Overboard in college, uh,
one of my friends on my floor or our, you
716
:know, where we lived in, in Centennial
Towers East had that, and I borrowed
717
:Katie: Ooh.
718
:Shannon: and I was like, what is
this movie that I'm just now seeing?
719
:Kurt Russell is amazing in this movie,
and he is every man in that movie.
720
:So since that time, I think that for me it
still remains Patrick Swayze, just because
721
:I have such ties to him from my childhood.
722
:Unfortunately, he was
taken from us way too soon.
723
:Who knows what he might've done.
724
:Um, you know, now, but Kurt Russell,
you don't really see him in anything.
725
:I think he was in, um, a Tarantino
movie, like, oh gosh, like the
726
:Hateful Aid or something like that.
727
:I could be wrong, but other than
728
:that, he probably doesn't have to work.
729
:Uh, so he's just like, I'm just gonna
730
:Katie: no, he's in like a series.
731
:He's in like some series, but
it's, yeah, they're like, um, and
732
:he's in some of the Marvel movie.
733
:Like he's and like Fast and Furious movie,
like stuff that I wouldn't watch now.
734
:Like I have zero interest
in the Fast and Furious 20.
735
:Or like, it's, he's in, I wanna say's like
736
:Monsters of the something.
737
:It's on one of the streamers.
738
:It's a show that I would have
zero interest in watching.
739
:But he is in that some
740
:Shannon: And, and you.
741
:And you said he is in Marvel too.
742
:Um, which does not surprise
me because his son Wyatt,
743
:is like the new Captain
America or something.
744
:They had Cap Captain American, the
Winter Soldier, or winter, no, I'm sorry.
745
:Winter soldier in the Falcon.
746
:I'm, he was in that,
like his son was in that.
747
:Katie: Well they're in this TV show
together It's gonna bother me now.
748
:It's like, it starts with an m.
749
:Shannon: Huh?
750
:I think he's, I think he's a great actor.
751
:I think comedic, you
know, a comedic actor.
752
:He's very funny.
753
:Uh, again, captain Ron and Overboard are
the two movies that I, if somebody said
754
:Kurt Russell, that's what I think of.
755
:Katie: Yep overboard.
756
:I can't Oh, you missed
out in your childhood?
757
:Not having seen that, um, until
758
:college, but it, it's Monarch
legacy of the Monsters is the
759
:Shannon: Oh,
760
:Katie: So like I have
zero interest in that.
761
:Mm.
762
:Apples tv, maybe Apple
763
:Shannon: Oh, okay.
764
:Interesting.
765
:But going back to your original
question, yes, Patrick Swayze will
766
:always hold a place in my heart.
767
:Um.
768
:For, for those movies.
769
:Roadhouse, you know, that was another
770
:great one that Ricky,
yeah, really good one.
771
:Oh my gosh, the outsiders
forgot about that.
772
:Probably one of his first
773
:movies.
774
:Um, that I, yeah, I
really like the outsiders.
775
:What else?
776
:Yeah.
777
:Yeah.
778
:that's where
779
:he stand.
780
:Katie: Red, red Dawn two, Wong
781
:Fu.
782
:Um, yeah, I'm just trying to think of
what's kind of filled in in between there.
783
:Yeah.
784
:Well, my next question is I ask everyone
this, do you think that Patrick Swayze
785
:and Kurt Russell look at all alike?
786
:Shannon: No.
787
:Do you.
788
:Katie: Very much so.
789
:You're the first, probably one of the few.
790
:So I haven't had a lot of women
on most, and it is one of those
791
:things, a, a lot of women very
much think that they look alike.
792
:They have a similar like
bone facial structure.
793
:They're both incredibly handsome,
strong jawline masculine.
794
:They're both, every men,
their hair is similar.
795
:I mean, not in Captain Ron
796
:,
Shannon: Yeah, maybe, maybe now that you're saying this, and I'm picturing them
797
:both in my head, it's not a correlation
I would've made if somebody hadn't,
798
:you know, put it, put it out there.
799
:But I guess you're right.
800
:Yeah.
801
:When you put 'em side by side,
they could probably play brothers.
802
:Not now,
803
:Katie: Yes.
804
:That's what I want to happen.
805
:Like Dalton, Dalton, side by side
with, um, uh, what, what was, what
806
:was Kurt's name in, um, overboard?
807
:Shannon: uh, profit Dean, profit
808
:Katie: Dean.
809
:Dean.
810
:Yes.
811
:So Dalton and Dean.
812
:I want that
813
:Shannon: Okay.
814
:Katie: please.
815
:Yes.
816
:Okay, let's get into the movie.
817
:Captain Ron.
818
:September 18th, 1992.
819
:It's PG 13.
820
:Now it's an hour and 40
minutes, but I really thought
821
:it was way longer it seemed.
822
:Shannon: I kept pausing
823
:to see how much, yeah.
824
:Like, I was like, when is this movie done?
825
:like, I kept pausing to see how
much time was left, and when it
826
:said 45 minutes, I was like, really?
827
:What else are they?
828
:What, what other storyline
can they drag into this?
829
:I mean, what is going to happen?
830
:I completely agree with you, Katie, that
that movie did drag on, uh, probably
831
:could have been an hour and got the same
832
:Katie: Well, but, but
that's why it's shocking.
833
:It's, it was only an hour and 40
minutes apparently, but it seemed
834
:so much longer than that.
835
:There was, there was a lot packed into it.
836
:The INDB rating was a 5.8.
837
:Our director here is Tom Eberhart.
838
:he also directed, uh, honey.
839
:I Blew Up the Kids and Without
a clue, and he was also one of
840
:the writers for Captain Ron.
841
:The other writer is John Dwyer,
known for this movie, and it's
842
:like a newer, newer series.
843
:Confessions of a Serial Killer.
844
:The music, which I didn't take like
special note of as I was watching it as
845
:I sometimes do, it didn't blow me away.
846
:Uh, but it was Nicholas Pike who
is an English composer, known for
847
:a lot of TV work and the shows that
he is known for will make sense that
848
:it, that he was on Captain Wrong.
849
:So there was apparently a
miniseries for the, like the
850
:Shining miniseries, not the movie.
851
:Also Tales from the Crypt,
852
:Shannon: Well, don't you?
853
:Wait, don't you?
854
:remember we talked to, we talked about,
um, going back to the Shining mini series.
855
:I don't wanna get too off track,
but, um, we, the, when we stayed
856
:at the, um, hotel in Estes,
857
:um, the Stanley
858
:That's where they shot
859
:the second one.
860
:The first one, the movie was shot
somewhere out in like New England,
861
:like Maine or something like that.
862
:So the, the mini series,
863
:which the guy from Wing, Steven
Weber, Rebecca Derna, were in it.
864
:They shot that one.
865
:And it was like a, this was an event
in my life, that's why I know this.
866
:I loved it.
867
:I taped it.
868
:I was a senior in high school,
watched it over and over.
869
:Um, but
870
:that was shot.
871
:Katie: it.
872
:Shannon: It's really, it's much
more aligned with the book.
873
:Stephen King, I think, had a
lot more, um, input and, uh,
874
:he did a lot more with this.
875
:Like they consulted him
on, on it, um, to make it
876
:more, yeah, comparative to the
book versus the, the movie with
877
:Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall.
878
:Um.
879
:But again, they shot it at the
actual Stanley Hotel, which is
880
:much smaller in scale than the one
that they shot the first one in.
881
:Um, but yeah, I do recommend you
watch it because we were there.
882
:We, you know, you'll re if you can
remember when we went there, because
883
:it was only few years ago, you'll
be like, oh my gosh, I remember
884
:that lobby and I remember that
ballroom and I remember the bar
885
:that they showed us.
886
:Yeah.
887
:So,
888
:Katie: mm-Hmm.
889
:Yeah.
890
:We did a tour of it and stayed there.
891
:I, we didn't get haunted though.
892
:Shannon: uh,
893
:We
894
:have
895
:Katie: not stay in that special room.
896
:Shannon: no, but our friend, I
won't name names to protect the
897
:innocent, but our friend, the other
898
:Katie: Oh yeah.
899
:Shannon: she
900
:swears up and down
901
:like
902
:Katie: she does.
903
:Shannon: footsteps or something above us.
904
:I'm like, we're in a hotel.
905
:We, of course there's footsteps above us.
906
:Katie: Yeah.
907
:There's people staying above us.
908
:Shannon: but, you know, there's,
there's no convincing her, she,
909
:she had otherworldly experience.
910
:Katie: That's right,
911
:that's right.
912
:I have forgotten about that.
913
:God, it is a good thing that you're around
sometimes because my memory is total shit.
914
:Okay.
915
:Shannon: We took a tour.
916
:They talked about
917
:Katie: that.
918
:I know, I know.
919
:I don't remember things.
920
:I don't.
921
:Um, also tales from the, the crypt.
922
:He led the band on the Bonnie Hunt Show.
923
:He did music videos for
Michael Jackson's ghost.
924
:You Rock My World, and some Mc hammer
videos and Will Smith's Wild Wild West.
925
:So like that kind of tells a story of
like the type of music that he does.
926
:But so that's Nicholas Pike.
927
:We have our lovely every man Kurt
Russell in a very different role
928
:for him playing Captain Ron, what
did you think when you saw him, when
929
:Shannon: Um,
930
:Katie: introduced to him?
931
:Shannon: yes, absolutely.
932
:You know, this is a movie that I watched
when I was 12, uh, when it came out.
933
:I remember.
934
:My grand seeing it at my grandparents'
house because they had a satellite dish.
935
:Uh, so I wasn't surprised
by his appearance.
936
:In fact, I more so imagine him as,
you know, the long dingy hair because
937
:that's who he played in, um, overboard.
938
:I don't know if I necessarily would
think of him in any other way than the
939
:long, scruffy hair and the open shirt or
the, the tank top, because those are the
940
:movies that, that I am familiar with.
941
:When you say, oh, this is a quite
different role for him that I find,
942
:I, I can't, um, consign myself to
simply because these are the movies
943
:I seen and I couldn't see
him in a dramatic role.
944
:Oh, maybe swing time.
945
:I think he, he was in swing time.
946
:Right.
947
:But I don't, yeah.
948
:But anyway, um, when I first saw
him, I thought he looked good.
949
:You know, they had him painted
up a little red, too red, the
950
:makeup, like, like he's been sun,
951
:sun
952
:Katie: like sun.
953
:Shannon: and Yeah, he, yeah, he looked
like he had an, he was on fire internally.
954
:Like it was just really red.
955
:But
956
:Katie: Oh my God.
957
:This is so very interesting,
Shannon, because.
958
:The reason I You are right.
959
:Like, so it's not his hair.
960
:He's wearing a really horrible wig.
961
:It's bad hair.
962
:And he has a dad bod.
963
:He's usually
964
:Shannon: oh, total dad bod.
965
:Mm-Hmm.
966
:Katie: nice, nicer looking.
967
:But this every other movie that we've
covered, curtain, he's very handsome.
968
:And you, like, I'm very
attracted to him, but not
969
:This is the first movie that
I'm not attracted to him in.
970
:Shannon: Well, were, were, are
the movies that you're comparing
971
:him to when he was younger?
972
:Because this is like, he's
middle aged in this movie.
973
:This is 1992, you know, so
he's gotta be like, I would say
974
:late thirties, early forties.
975
:Right.
976
:So having a dad bod would, would
not be, um, you know, something
977
:that is surprising to me.
978
:Katie: I mean, he's never
been super, super buff.
979
:He's, he's never been like,
cut by that I mean cut.
980
:Um, like Swayze was cut like
very, you know, um, but like.
981
:I mean, we've covered things
from literally like:
982
:to the most recent one.
983
:Like tango and cash,
984
:Shannon: Oh yeah.
985
:Katie: overboard.
986
:The thing, um, backdraft,
I'm trying to think.
987
:Some other cur I just covered
tombstone that, at the time of this
988
:recording will have already been out.
989
:Um, so, and he's, yeah.
990
:Middle.
991
:I guess I have no problem with him being
middle aged, especially at that time.
992
:I think a lot of guys, which is
sucks for us because they look
993
:better when they're like middle.
994
:Like these really hunky,
handsome Hollywood stars
995
:look good in their forties
996
:and fifties a lot of the time.
997
:So he's very, and he's got those eyes all,
yeah, Kurt Russell and everything else
998
:he does is very handsome except for this
999
:Shannon: in this movie, he
has an eye, not the eyes.
:
00:39:26,005 --> 00:39:26,815
Katie: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
:
00:39:27,765 --> 00:39:28,055
. Yeah.
:
00:39:28,445 --> 00:39:28,735
Yeah.
:
00:39:28,835 --> 00:39:30,895
So anyway, that was what I took note of.
:
00:39:30,895 --> 00:39:33,015
It was like, oh, I don't,
this is the first time I'm
:
00:39:33,015 --> 00:39:36,095
not jumping at Kurt Russell.
:
00:39:37,835 --> 00:39:38,125
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:39:38,125 --> 00:39:40,765
And I just have never, I've never
seen him in a movie where he's been
:
00:39:40,805 --> 00:39:43,005
a, a sex object or a sex symbol, so
:
00:39:43,305 --> 00:39:44,245
it didn't surprise me.
:
00:39:44,245 --> 00:39:46,605
What surprised me was the makeup
that they had on his chest.
:
00:39:46,635 --> 00:39:50,565
Like I said, um, he just
looked, he looked very red.
:
00:39:51,745 --> 00:39:52,165
Katie: Mm-Hmm.
:
00:39:52,435 --> 00:39:52,725
. Yeah.
:
00:39:52,725 --> 00:39:53,965
He's supposed to be Sun Bumb.
:
00:39:55,115 --> 00:39:56,135
Shannon: He looked like he just walked
:
00:39:57,525 --> 00:39:57,815
Katie: Yeah.
:
00:39:58,865 --> 00:40:03,565
Martin Short plays Martin
Harvey and Mary Kay Place.
:
00:40:03,745 --> 00:40:03,965
Ha.
:
00:40:04,195 --> 00:40:05,245
Mary Kay place.
:
00:40:06,540 --> 00:40:07,570
Plays his wife.
:
00:40:07,710 --> 00:40:08,490
Say that a few times.
:
00:40:09,350 --> 00:40:13,730
Um, Catherine Harvey and she,
everyone knows who she is.
:
00:40:14,315 --> 00:40:14,605
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:40:14,780 --> 00:40:18,790
Katie: Even if you don't, you can't
like place her name, but she's known for
:
00:40:18,790 --> 00:40:21,750
like the Big Chill being John Malkovich.
:
00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:26,110
And she was actually Emmy
nominated for her, uh, long
:
00:40:26,110 --> 00:40:28,630
running guest role in Big Love.
:
00:40:29,130 --> 00:40:30,150
Did you ever see that show
:
00:40:31,075 --> 00:40:31,829
Shannon: Uh, yes.
:
00:40:32,069 --> 00:40:37,229
I think I was, uh, we were, were we in
our like, early, early twenties when
:
00:40:37,229 --> 00:40:39,069
that show was on, it was about, um,
:
00:40:40,824 --> 00:40:41,384
Katie: polygamy?
:
00:40:41,939 --> 00:40:42,219
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:40:42,219 --> 00:40:42,659
Polygamy.
:
00:40:42,799 --> 00:40:46,979
Um, and I did not know she was in
that, but she was also in Sweet Home
:
00:40:46,979 --> 00:40:48,699
Alabama, who, she, she played a mother
:
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,699
in that movie, a very different looking
kind of mother, uh, than she plays in
:
00:40:52,699 --> 00:40:53,099
this movie.
:
00:40:54,344 --> 00:40:54,764
Katie: Mm-Hmm.
:
00:40:54,989 --> 00:40:57,289
Shannon: here's a fun fact that
I knew about Mary Kay place.
:
00:40:58,429 --> 00:41:00,609
She directed an episode of Friends.
:
00:41:01,617 --> 00:41:02,037
Katie: really?
:
00:41:02,832 --> 00:41:03,122
Shannon: Yeah,
:
00:41:03,197 --> 00:41:03,807
Katie: Good tidbit.
:
00:41:03,842 --> 00:41:04,042
Shannon: know.
:
00:41:04,087 --> 00:41:04,327
Katie: like that.
:
00:41:04,892 --> 00:41:05,182
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:41:05,367 --> 00:41:06,137
Katie: Just one off.
:
00:41:06,257 --> 00:41:06,977
A one off, huh?
:
00:41:07,072 --> 00:41:09,282
Shannon: Just a one-off,
uh, a one-off episode.
:
00:41:09,282 --> 00:41:10,842
And it's a pretty, I
mean, it's a good episode.
:
00:41:10,872 --> 00:41:11,802
It's the, the list.
:
00:41:12,222 --> 00:41:15,802
Um, the one, it's season
two, the one where
:
00:41:16,902 --> 00:41:17,592
Ross creates
:
00:41:17,612 --> 00:41:18,032
the list
:
00:41:18,047 --> 00:41:18,647
Katie: the things wrong,
:
00:41:19,532 --> 00:41:19,752
Shannon: Yes.
:
00:41:19,752 --> 00:41:21,952
With Rachel and, um, Julie,
:
00:41:22,332 --> 00:41:24,032
um, you know when he brings Julie home?
:
00:41:24,062 --> 00:41:24,352
Yeah.
:
00:41:24,382 --> 00:41:24,672
Yeah.
:
00:41:25,412 --> 00:41:28,152
Uh, she directed that
episode, which you don't like.
:
00:41:28,172 --> 00:41:29,952
That's just kind of outta
left field, but whatever.
:
00:41:29,952 --> 00:41:30,512
It's great episode.
:
00:41:30,512 --> 00:41:31,112
She did a good job.
:
00:41:31,867 --> 00:41:32,287
Katie: indeed.
:
00:41:33,507 --> 00:41:37,487
So then the kids in this, I love
that this movie, it's a pretty
:
00:41:37,487 --> 00:41:41,367
small cast sometimes there's, um,
such a big cast of characters.
:
00:41:41,757 --> 00:41:45,787
It's hard to keep everybody straight,
but this is short and sweet.
:
00:41:46,507 --> 00:41:51,547
Benjamin Salisbury plays the
11-year-old Ben Harvey and.
:
00:41:52,467 --> 00:41:55,677
This is pre the Nanny, but
that's, he's most known for
:
00:41:55,677 --> 00:41:57,797
playing Brighton in the Nanny.
:
00:41:58,497 --> 00:42:03,997
And I gotta say this kid, I
don't typically like kid actors.
:
00:42:04,277 --> 00:42:11,097
I, but he was really good in this like,
and kind of an adorable little Yeah,
:
00:42:11,932 --> 00:42:13,102
Shannon: Doesn't overdo it.
:
00:42:13,642 --> 00:42:18,822
Um, but isn't, you know, stiff and,
you know, shouldn't be on screen.
:
00:42:18,982 --> 00:42:19,622
I agree with you.
:
00:42:19,702 --> 00:42:20,862
I thought he did a really good job.
:
00:42:21,122 --> 00:42:22,102
Fun, fun character.
:
00:42:23,967 --> 00:42:24,387
Katie: indeed.
:
00:42:24,887 --> 00:42:25,947
Meadow Cyto.
:
00:42:26,847 --> 00:42:28,467
Meadow cyto.
:
00:42:30,597 --> 00:42:32,567
That doesn't sound right, but it is
:
00:42:32,987 --> 00:42:37,927
She plays Carol and she's, she's
the 16-year-old, uh, daughter
:
00:42:38,467 --> 00:42:40,007
and she's not well known.
:
00:42:40,007 --> 00:42:43,567
However, she is the cyto of Jeremy Cyto.
:
00:42:43,987 --> 00:42:44,407
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
00:42:45,227 --> 00:42:46,207
of clueless fame.
:
00:42:47,052 --> 00:42:47,272
Katie: Yes.
:
00:42:47,332 --> 00:42:48,192
Of clueless fame.
:
00:42:48,292 --> 00:42:48,512
Yes.
:
00:42:48,872 --> 00:42:49,972
Shannon: Wilton Elton
:
00:42:51,421 --> 00:42:57,731
Katie: LN Sunshine, Lao plays General
Armando, he's not really well known.
:
00:42:57,791 --> 00:43:01,411
And then we have Paul Anka
playing the yacht dealer.
:
00:43:03,231 --> 00:43:04,291
Shannon: That's who that is.
:
00:43:04,431 --> 00:43:05,251
I'm looking at him and
:
00:43:05,251 --> 00:43:07,251
I'm like, God, who is that guy?
:
00:43:07,391 --> 00:43:08,331
That's tall?
:
00:43:08,441 --> 00:43:08,731
Paul.
:
00:43:09,121 --> 00:43:10,011
Paul Anka.
:
00:43:10,751 --> 00:43:11,891
Is Paul Anka still
:
00:43:11,891 --> 00:43:12,131
with
:
00:43:12,131 --> 00:43:12,251
us?
:
00:43:12,431 --> 00:43:17,251
Katie: know he was, I dunno, I'm not sure.
:
00:43:18,731 --> 00:43:19,471
Shannon: He, yeah.
:
00:43:19,731 --> 00:43:21,551
He was a crooner back in the day.
:
00:43:21,851 --> 00:43:22,511
Had some hits.
:
00:43:22,911 --> 00:43:23,621
Maybe not tall.
:
00:43:23,621 --> 00:43:27,901
Tall Paul, maybe the Shelly Rey song,
tall Paul, or, or maybe it's net ello.
:
00:43:27,901 --> 00:43:31,221
Anyway, it's not about him, but
I, I know he was like famous,
:
00:43:31,801 --> 00:43:32,901
you know, back in the fifties
:
00:43:32,961 --> 00:43:33,821
and sixties, right?
:
00:43:34,171 --> 00:43:34,461
Yeah.
:
00:43:35,531 --> 00:43:35,951
Katie: he was.
:
00:43:36,051 --> 00:43:39,991
And actually, um, little piece of
trivia, when the Harvey's at the
:
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,911
end of the movie, when they pull in.
:
00:43:43,181 --> 00:43:46,551
, like they're about to pull into
Miami and, and Paul Anca is there.
:
00:43:46,821 --> 00:43:52,171
There's one of the boats that is
being stacked is called My Way, which
:
00:43:52,171 --> 00:43:56,491
was actually the name of Paul Anika's,
biggest, one of his biggest hits.
:
00:43:57,091 --> 00:43:58,531
Sung by Frank
:
00:43:58,661 --> 00:43:59,771
Shannon: Frank Sinatra.
:
00:44:00,121 --> 00:44:00,411
Yeah.
:
00:44:01,661 --> 00:44:02,291
Katie: Among others.
:
00:44:02,481 --> 00:44:02,771
Yeah.
:
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:04,111
Yep.
:
00:44:04,891 --> 00:44:05,951
So that's the cast.
:
00:44:06,781 --> 00:44:14,351
This movie, lost Money , its budget was 24
million with a box office of 22.5 million.
:
00:44:14,491 --> 00:44:15,191
So that's rough.
:
00:44:15,751 --> 00:44:16,041
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:44:16,704 --> 00:44:21,114
Katie: Overall impressions, favorite
scenes, memories, watching, what do
:
00:44:21,114 --> 00:44:22,354
you We will start us off, Shannon
:
00:44:22,994 --> 00:44:26,604
Shannon: Well, again, my
palette when it comes to movies
:
00:44:26,784 --> 00:44:28,284
has changed since I was 12.
:
00:44:29,224 --> 00:44:30,684
It wasn't as sophisticated.
:
00:44:30,864 --> 00:44:35,204
So this is a movie that we, we
watched over and over, um, at my
:
00:44:35,204 --> 00:44:36,444
grandparents' house when it was on.
:
00:44:37,269 --> 00:44:38,009
One of the show times.
:
00:44:38,169 --> 00:44:44,529
I remember that, uh, LA when I
was watching it, um, again, there
:
00:44:44,549 --> 00:44:48,569
was some laugh out loud moments,
specifically involving Martin Short's,
:
00:44:49,049 --> 00:44:53,249
physical kind of slapstick comedy
where he would fall off the boat and
:
00:44:53,249 --> 00:44:54,929
make some sort of surprise sound.
:
00:44:55,789 --> 00:44:57,649
Um, I did laugh out loud.
:
00:44:57,849 --> 00:45:03,969
I, for whatever reason I thought him
calling Captain Ron Moron was very clever.
:
00:45:04,749 --> 00:45:08,089
Uh, you know, so I laughed
out loud at those, um, scenes.
:
00:45:08,889 --> 00:45:10,169
I mean, I loved Martin Short.
:
00:45:10,489 --> 00:45:12,089
I remember his Saturday Night Live days.
:
00:45:12,169 --> 00:45:16,289
I remember him as, um, ed Grimley
and other movies from the eighties
:
00:45:16,289 --> 00:45:17,529
and nineties that he was in.
:
00:45:18,554 --> 00:45:23,614
And now he's found re renewed fame
in only murders in the building.
:
00:45:24,314 --> 00:45:26,494
Um, and so I do like Martin Short a lot.
:
00:45:26,694 --> 00:45:29,174
I think he's, he's just
a very, very funny man.
:
00:45:29,914 --> 00:45:34,494
Uh, but again, the movie was, I was
like, God, when is this movie gonna end?
:
00:45:34,644 --> 00:45:35,614
It's so long.
:
00:45:36,444 --> 00:45:39,614
It's like the Titanic, you know, I mean
:
00:45:40,324 --> 00:45:42,574
Katie: It's like half,
half the film runtime.
:
00:45:42,634 --> 00:45:44,134
But yeah, it somehow felt
:
00:45:44,234 --> 00:45:47,614
Shannon: Is it come in like a two
box set like the Titanic movie did?
:
00:45:47,614 --> 00:45:54,174
Like it was so, um, again, there were
laugh out loud parts, but is it something
:
00:45:54,174 --> 00:45:55,774
that I would watch over and over?
:
00:45:56,314 --> 00:45:59,534
No, I think that, that, I think
that watching it for this show
:
00:45:59,994 --> 00:46:03,214
was probably the last time I
will see that movie voluntarily,
:
00:46:05,494 --> 00:46:05,714
Katie: Wow.
:
00:46:06,234 --> 00:46:07,594
I think I enjoyed it a little more.
:
00:46:07,874 --> 00:46:09,034
I actually don't recall.
:
00:46:09,914 --> 00:46:13,554
I know I have seen it before,
but as, as we're well aware by
:
00:46:13,554 --> 00:46:14,754
now, Katie has a bad memory.
:
00:46:14,974 --> 00:46:17,754
So it was as if I was watching
it again for the first time.
:
00:46:18,854 --> 00:46:24,844
Uh, I love that it was, the
opening part was set in Chicago.
:
00:46:25,044 --> 00:46:26,884
I love movies set in Chicago.
:
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:27,899
Shannon: Yep.
:
00:46:29,464 --> 00:46:34,144
Katie: I just, the whole premise is
so like early nineties, like movie
:
00:46:34,144 --> 00:46:40,414
making, but I was in for it in that
like, can you imagine as either an
:
00:46:40,414 --> 00:46:45,534
11-year-old or a 16-year-old, like
a 45 day sailing adventure during
:
00:46:45,634 --> 00:46:47,894
the school year with your family?
:
00:46:48,669 --> 00:46:48,889
Shannon: No.
:
00:46:49,149 --> 00:46:50,129
And they didn't go home.
:
00:46:50,189 --> 00:46:51,089
That's the whole premise.
:
00:46:51,289 --> 00:46:52,049
I mean, I hate, I'm
:
00:46:52,049 --> 00:46:54,529
trying not, not trying to give the
ending away, but they didn't go
:
00:46:54,544 --> 00:46:55,434
Katie: Spoiler alert.
:
00:46:55,974 --> 00:46:56,834
Shannon: School alert.
:
00:46:56,884 --> 00:46:59,274
These kids were not being
put back into school.
:
00:47:00,054 --> 00:47:00,274
Um,
:
00:47:00,654 --> 00:47:02,594
and every, and everybody
lived happily ever after.
:
00:47:03,254 --> 00:47:05,674
But you said this is the
quintessential nineties movie.
:
00:47:05,914 --> 00:47:07,434
I was thinking that exact same thing.
:
00:47:07,464 --> 00:47:12,394
Like the rich aunt or uncle who
nobody knew, didn't have any kids,
:
00:47:12,734 --> 00:47:17,994
leaves, leaves, you know, this,
um, adult person, either a house
:
00:47:18,174 --> 00:47:19,954
or a boat or some sort of fortune.
:
00:47:20,934 --> 00:47:23,514
That's the premise or
setup of, of a lot of
:
00:47:23,514 --> 00:47:24,474
these nineties movies.
:
00:47:25,294 --> 00:47:25,514
And
:
00:47:26,174 --> 00:47:30,034
that's how this one starts off,
um, is how he gets that boat.
:
00:47:30,731 --> 00:47:30,951
Katie: Yes.
:
00:47:31,131 --> 00:47:34,991
And, uh, there, so there are a few, the
type of comedy that it is, there's a
:
00:47:34,991 --> 00:47:38,271
lot of like setups and quick payoffs.
:
00:47:38,611 --> 00:47:38,831
So
:
00:47:39,651 --> 00:47:44,871
at first Martin is telling his wife about
this and she's like, are you kidding?
:
00:47:45,291 --> 00:47:47,511
You know, they're, they're
kind of stuffy people.
:
00:47:47,661 --> 00:47:52,391
Like they're upper middle class
suburban Chicago, like they both
:
00:47:52,421 --> 00:47:55,871
have careers and she's like that.
:
00:47:56,091 --> 00:47:56,311
No.
:
00:47:56,681 --> 00:47:59,471
First of all, we'll be
spontaneous when we have time.
:
00:47:59,611 --> 00:48:01,991
So that's like the type of
people that, that they are.
:
00:48:02,371 --> 00:48:09,431
And then they, it's set up for us that
nothing that anybody does or says will
:
00:48:09,431 --> 00:48:16,801
change my mind in walks the 16-year-old
daughter, I'm engaged and then cut
:
00:48:16,901 --> 00:48:23,881
to like, that's the thing, cut to
them in Saint Palmier, Saint Potato.
:
00:48:24,881 --> 00:48:29,251
Shannon: Potato Yep.
:
00:48:29,822 --> 00:48:30,962
Katie: And the the boat.
:
00:48:32,342 --> 00:48:37,162
So obviously it's not the picture that
he received, it's like super rundown.
:
00:48:38,102 --> 00:48:42,802
And over the course of their adventure,
of course they're fixing it up,
:
00:48:42,802 --> 00:48:45,002
polishing it up, making it look nice.
:
00:48:45,382 --> 00:48:50,082
And I don't think, obviously I
don't know anything about boats,
:
00:48:50,222 --> 00:48:54,482
but it seems like it's two separate
boats, even in the style of boat.
:
00:48:54,792 --> 00:48:58,602
Like the first one looked like
a tugboat, not a sailboat.
:
00:48:59,302 --> 00:49:00,402
Did you have that thought at all?
:
00:49:00,432 --> 00:49:02,442
Like that the boats didn't
even seem like the same type.
:
00:49:03,862 --> 00:49:06,662
Shannon: Absolutely when she holds
up the picture and she, you know, of
:
00:49:06,662 --> 00:49:08,382
course that's the comedic element.
:
00:49:08,512 --> 00:49:09,222
She's looking at
:
00:49:09,222 --> 00:49:12,102
the picture and then she's looking
at the boat and it's not, you're
:
00:49:12,102 --> 00:49:13,462
right, it looked like a tugboat.
:
00:49:13,462 --> 00:49:15,342
It looked like a tugboat
that's seen better days.
:
00:49:15,842 --> 00:49:16,422
Uh, I think
:
00:49:16,422 --> 00:49:19,742
it's also important to mention that this
boat was from the Clark Gable Estate.
:
00:49:20,442 --> 00:49:20,662
Um,
:
00:49:21,402 --> 00:49:25,382
and so, yeah, and so that's why the
family thought, oh, this is going
:
00:49:25,382 --> 00:49:29,342
to be our, our money shot, so to
speak, soon as we can sell this boat
:
00:49:29,402 --> 00:49:33,462
and pay off debt and get out from
under our house and things like that.
:
00:49:33,962 --> 00:49:38,662
Um, so of course again, the
nineties comedy is that it's
:
00:49:38,682 --> 00:49:41,742
not a beautiful sailboat that
they're gonna be able to sell.
:
00:49:42,052 --> 00:49:43,062
It's a piece of junk.
:
00:49:44,722 --> 00:49:51,062
Katie: It is, and I forgot to offer
a reminder description for those
:
00:49:51,062 --> 00:49:54,792
of you who haven't seen this in 30
years, so I will quickly do that now.
:
00:49:55,602 --> 00:49:59,167
When Martin and Catherine Harvey
and their two children, Carolyn and
:
00:49:59,267 --> 00:50:03,807
Ben, inherit a yacht, formerly owned
by Clark Gable, they embark on a
:
00:50:03,807 --> 00:50:07,887
hilarious oceanic adventure sailing
through the waters of the Caribbean.
:
00:50:08,237 --> 00:50:13,687
With help from the dubious, yet charming
Captain Ron, who leads them into some
:
00:50:13,887 --> 00:50:19,887
outrageously wild situations, their
lives will never be the same again.
:
00:50:21,031 --> 00:50:23,611
So it, it's situation after
situation after situation.
:
00:50:23,611 --> 00:50:25,131
And I think that's why it felt long,
:
00:50:26,221 --> 00:50:26,441
Shannon: Yes.
:
00:50:26,561 --> 00:50:30,391
A lot of, yes, very situational,
uh, situational comedy attempts.
:
00:50:30,924 --> 00:50:31,344
Katie: Mm-Hmm.
:
00:50:32,114 --> 00:50:36,784
I do quite like, so Ron, captain Ron.
:
00:50:37,974 --> 00:50:41,674
So, like I said there, I do appreciate
the little payoffs that he does,
:
00:50:42,374 --> 00:50:45,394
and I appreciate that he allows
himself, like he doesn't have a,
:
00:50:45,454 --> 00:50:49,594
an ego so big that he won't allow
himself to be seen in a silly way.
:
00:50:50,224 --> 00:50:51,434
Like, he doesn't look good.
:
00:50:51,434 --> 00:50:52,554
He wears a speedo.
:
00:50:53,874 --> 00:50:55,614
Uh, nobody looks good in a speedo.
:
00:50:55,934 --> 00:50:59,854
Everyone out there no one, no one
looks good in ESP Speedo, I swear.
:
00:51:00,594 --> 00:51:04,734
But, um, he gives them, he's very quirky.
:
00:51:05,394 --> 00:51:08,974
He immediately meets the family
and gives them a different
:
00:51:09,214 --> 00:51:10,854
nickname than what their name is.
:
00:51:11,114 --> 00:51:13,694
So Marty is boss.
:
00:51:15,084 --> 00:51:20,244
Catherine is immediately Kitty,
the daughter is somehow babe,
:
00:51:20,434 --> 00:51:21,404
that must've been a thing.
:
00:51:22,484 --> 00:51:27,834
And the little boy is swab,
which is a sailor term, right?
:
00:51:29,114 --> 00:51:30,604
Like a low man on the totem
:
00:51:30,684 --> 00:51:31,414
Shannon: Swab the deck.
:
00:51:31,604 --> 00:51:31,894
Yeah.
:
00:51:31,924 --> 00:51:32,654
That it's in
:
00:51:32,854 --> 00:51:34,494
reference to you swab the deck here.
:
00:51:34,494 --> 00:51:34,734
Yeah.
:
00:51:35,521 --> 00:51:38,861
But you said, you know, one thing
stood out, you said dubious character
:
00:51:38,921 --> 00:51:44,461
and, and I, I think that was the
intention of the director writers to
:
00:51:44,461 --> 00:51:48,661
present this, to present Captain Ron as
somebody that maybe can't be trusted.
:
00:51:49,021 --> 00:51:50,141
I never got that during the movie.
:
00:51:50,301 --> 00:51:51,821
I find him to be very likable.
:
00:51:52,381 --> 00:51:55,901
I find Martin Schwartz character to
be insecure and jealous, which is,
:
00:51:56,321 --> 00:51:57,741
you know, part of the plot line.
:
00:51:58,241 --> 00:52:00,701
Um, and that's why he is
building up resentment and
:
00:52:00,901 --> 00:52:02,021
animosity towards Captain Ron.
:
00:52:02,481 --> 00:52:06,861
But I did not think at
any point was he there to.
:
00:52:07,751 --> 00:52:12,011
Insert himself into this family
unit as the father, as the,
:
00:52:12,551 --> 00:52:15,811
the captain of the ship and was
gonna go home with the family.
:
00:52:15,951 --> 00:52:18,811
And, you know, Martin, the
father could stay in St.
:
00:52:18,811 --> 00:52:19,211
Potato.
:
00:52:19,791 --> 00:52:24,851
Um, so that's where I, I never found
him to be a questionable character
:
00:52:24,851 --> 00:52:26,171
that anybody should be wary of.
:
00:52:27,911 --> 00:52:28,401
Just kind
:
00:52:28,561 --> 00:52:29,401
of a goofy ad
:
00:52:29,491 --> 00:52:33,011
Katie: And I He is, but he gets them lost.
:
00:52:33,311 --> 00:52:39,011
He doesn't like there, it's questionable
in the eyes of Martin as he writes in his
:
00:52:39,541 --> 00:52:42,331
diary, so to, you're absolutely right.
:
00:52:42,401 --> 00:52:43,851
It's very in that way.
:
00:52:44,641 --> 00:52:47,331
Like, what about Bob esque?
:
00:52:47,801 --> 00:52:48,091
Like
:
00:52:48,971 --> 00:52:50,391
Shannon: The unreliable, yes.
:
00:52:50,491 --> 00:52:51,911
The unreliable narrator.
:
00:52:52,451 --> 00:52:53,151
Um, Dr.
:
00:52:53,251 --> 00:52:57,031
Leo Marvin is an unreliable narrator
because of how he feels about Bob.
:
00:52:57,031 --> 00:53:01,191
And that's, you're very right that
we're getting Martin's perspective.
:
00:53:01,931 --> 00:53:02,151
Um,
:
00:53:02,691 --> 00:53:04,271
so it's, it's somewhat unreliable.
:
00:53:06,091 --> 00:53:06,311
Katie: yes.
:
00:53:06,691 --> 00:53:12,351
But, but in a sim, like there's a series
of mishaps that either shows Martin in
:
00:53:12,351 --> 00:53:16,511
a bad way or hurts Martin, but the rest
of the family isn't seeing, they're
:
00:53:16,511 --> 00:53:19,031
just, they're more endeared each time.
:
00:53:20,831 --> 00:53:22,011
To Captain Ron.
:
00:53:22,831 --> 00:53:27,331
Um, and like, yeah, so Marty
Martin is getting jealous.
:
00:53:27,521 --> 00:53:32,181
Like, oh, he is in a speedo
standing behind his wife, like
:
00:53:32,501 --> 00:53:34,061
teaching her to, to drive the boat.
:
00:53:34,361 --> 00:53:42,141
And, you know, the, the sun when they
get to San Juan is, it's like all of
:
00:53:42,141 --> 00:53:48,501
Captain Ron has rubbed off on Ben because
he shows up to that carnival party and
:
00:53:48,501 --> 00:53:50,941
looking like a mini me or mini Ron.
:
00:53:51,641 --> 00:53:54,621
So it's, I just, I was like,
this is very, what about Bobby?
:
00:53:55,481 --> 00:54:00,021
But then what, what is quite lovely
about the movie, they just, it
:
00:54:00,021 --> 00:54:01,021
needed to be a little tighter.
:
00:54:01,241 --> 00:54:02,501
Is that, that's paid off
:
00:54:03,441 --> 00:54:08,941
Ron, captain Ron does do the right
thing in seeing that that's what
:
00:54:08,941 --> 00:54:11,021
he was unintentionally doing.
:
00:54:11,841 --> 00:54:16,811
And then he helps Martin become
the hero at, you know, in the end.
:
00:54:17,071 --> 00:54:17,291
So.
:
00:54:18,621 --> 00:54:20,001
Shannon: And you're
absolutely right about that.
:
00:54:20,061 --> 00:54:20,481
Mm-Hmm.
:
00:54:21,164 --> 00:54:21,384
He
:
00:54:21,384 --> 00:54:21,544
does.
:
00:54:21,574 --> 00:54:21,864
Yeah.
:
00:54:21,924 --> 00:54:22,344
He helps.
:
00:54:22,414 --> 00:54:25,944
Yeah, he helps his family and, and Martin
to see himself, I think more so Martin,
:
00:54:25,964 --> 00:54:27,104
to see himself in a different light.
:
00:54:27,104 --> 00:54:30,864
Maybe not his family, but Martin
just is, um, given the confident,
:
00:54:30,884 --> 00:54:34,664
the ability to be confident because
Captain Ron allows him to be.
:
00:54:34,724 --> 00:54:35,144
Mm-Hmm.
:
00:54:36,774 --> 00:54:36,994
Katie: yes.
:
00:54:37,574 --> 00:54:40,794
And over the course, I mean, again,
this is very typical of this type of a
:
00:54:40,794 --> 00:54:42,394
movie, but there's all these mishaps.
:
00:54:42,394 --> 00:54:46,074
It's not what they thought it was gonna
be, who there's this wild and crazy guy.
:
00:54:47,274 --> 00:54:52,054
But over the course of their adventure,
they do learn how to sail properly,
:
00:54:52,304 --> 00:54:58,134
which pays off momentarily when they
have to get away from the pirates
:
00:54:58,134 --> 00:54:59,894
or their, their ship is stolen.
:
00:55:00,634 --> 00:55:01,534
So Ron is right.
:
00:55:01,594 --> 00:55:06,214
He keeps saying like, oh, pirates of
the Caribbean, Martin's, like, there's
:
00:55:06,214 --> 00:55:10,414
no such thing cut too, their boat
being stolen and they're on a raft.
:
00:55:11,234 --> 00:55:12,264
Stand up in Cuba.
:
00:55:14,169 --> 00:55:17,334
So that's, then their boat happens to
also be there, so they steal it back
:
00:55:17,914 --> 00:55:22,854
and Captain Ron helps them do that in
a 57 Chevy, which was pretty awesome.
:
00:55:23,394 --> 00:55:28,634
I love the, the old cars from, you know,
in Cuba 'cause of the embargo and stuff.
:
00:55:29,214 --> 00:55:33,154
, but then Martin forgets to put
oil in the boat so the engine dies
:
00:55:33,154 --> 00:55:37,754
and they actually have to, to get
away, use their sailing skills.
:
00:55:38,014 --> 00:55:42,004
And at this time Ron has faked an injury.
:
00:55:42,184 --> 00:55:45,284
He tells them that he broke
his leg, so he can't help.
:
00:55:45,584 --> 00:55:47,124
Martin has to save the day.
:
00:55:47,504 --> 00:55:48,324
And he does.
:
00:55:49,554 --> 00:55:56,384
Meanwhile, I mean, yeah, I mean he
does, but also Ron does secretly
:
00:55:56,574 --> 00:56:00,504
call, , for help , and he's like,
Mayday mayday to the Coast Guard.
:
00:56:01,424 --> 00:56:05,594
Shannon: That ending speaking of, was
very reminiscent of overboard with the
:
00:56:05,594 --> 00:56:08,034
Coast Guard coming and, and, you know,
:
00:56:08,864 --> 00:56:09,084
Katie: Yes.
:
00:56:11,184 --> 00:56:14,434
Shannon: soon see gold jumping
overboard in her gold dress.
:
00:56:17,934 --> 00:56:18,494
Katie: Katerina.
:
00:56:20,094 --> 00:56:20,314
Yep.
:
00:56:21,434 --> 00:56:24,134
Shannon: It, there was some
me images going on with that
:
00:56:24,134 --> 00:56:24,414
ending.
:
00:56:24,634 --> 00:56:26,254
Um, but it was, yeah, it did end.
:
00:56:26,254 --> 00:56:27,214
There was a payoff.
:
00:56:28,644 --> 00:56:30,834
Katie: There was a, this
is one of those movies.
:
00:56:32,454 --> 00:56:33,264
What was the other one?
:
00:56:33,264 --> 00:56:38,284
It's where it reminiscent, um, I
wanna say Backdraft, where the ending,
:
00:56:38,624 --> 00:56:40,924
it was like a series of endings.
:
00:56:41,024 --> 00:56:44,084
Not just one ending, but it was
like, oh, we thought we got the end.
:
00:56:44,104 --> 00:56:45,124
Oh, we thought we got the end.
:
00:56:45,144 --> 00:56:48,604
Oh, we thought I might be thinking
of the wrong movie, but I know I've
:
00:56:48,604 --> 00:56:49,644
covered another movie like that.
:
00:56:49,744 --> 00:56:50,164
So, yeah.
:
00:56:50,344 --> 00:56:57,404
So then there's this heartfelt
goodbye to Captain Ron.
:
00:56:57,424 --> 00:57:00,844
He can finally come back to the US
because of the statute of limitations
:
00:57:01,024 --> 00:57:05,164
has expired for, you know, whatever
he has done in the US up until then.
:
00:57:06,604 --> 00:57:07,734
Then he disappears.
:
00:57:08,614 --> 00:57:12,404
Then we see the family, or no.
:
00:57:12,404 --> 00:57:13,764
First we see Captain Ron.
:
00:57:13,774 --> 00:57:14,124
Right
:
00:57:14,644 --> 00:57:15,064
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
00:57:15,214 --> 00:57:19,024
Katie: now he's with a new couple, right?
:
00:57:19,694 --> 00:57:23,824
Shannon: very and very Miami
esque in his ponytail and his
:
00:57:23,824 --> 00:57:26,784
Miami vice suit that he has on.
:
00:57:27,334 --> 00:57:27,624
Yeah.
:
00:57:27,924 --> 00:57:32,864
Within within hours, he's embraced
the Miami Vice Miami vibe and has
:
00:57:32,864 --> 00:57:34,784
found this new couple, I mean,
it's literally within hours.
:
00:57:37,404 --> 00:57:37,694
Katie: Yeah.
:
00:57:37,854 --> 00:57:41,454
I , I don't, I guess I hadn't put it
together that this is supposed to be the
:
00:57:41,454 --> 00:57:43,494
same day, or, or if this is meant to be.
:
00:57:45,014 --> 00:57:45,454
I don't know.
:
00:57:45,574 --> 00:57:46,174
Either way.
:
00:57:46,174 --> 00:57:46,574
You're right.
:
00:57:46,804 --> 00:57:51,574
He's cleaned up at, at least we,
he's not, he's cleaned up his look.
:
00:57:51,574 --> 00:57:52,814
He doesn't have the eye patch anymore.
:
00:57:52,874 --> 00:57:53,774
He just has sunglasses.
:
00:57:53,954 --> 00:57:54,814
He looks nicer,
:
00:57:55,754 --> 00:57:56,174
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
00:57:56,214 --> 00:57:59,174
Katie: he starts in, it's kind
of cute because we see him
:
00:58:00,049 --> 00:58:03,519
Doing the same things that
we saw him do when he first
:
00:58:03,729 --> 00:58:05,399
first meets the Harvey family.
:
00:58:06,179 --> 00:58:10,279
He like, um, the husband says
something like, oh, Barbara, do
:
00:58:10,279 --> 00:58:11,959
you think we'll be able to do that?
:
00:58:12,099 --> 00:58:15,759
One day, Ron, captain Ron meets
her and he is like, Hey, Babs.
:
00:58:16,139 --> 00:58:18,679
You know, so he immediately
does the nickname
:
00:58:19,174 --> 00:58:19,414
Shannon: nickname.
:
00:58:22,159 --> 00:58:25,569
Katie: Then the family, to your point
earlier, they're pulling into Miami
:
00:58:27,489 --> 00:58:29,749
and they're like, how about we don't,
:
00:58:30,564 --> 00:58:30,854
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:58:32,949 --> 00:58:35,209
Katie: we, they're just continuing
their adventure forever.
:
00:58:36,279 --> 00:58:39,199
Shannon: I guess so their
children's education be damned,
:
00:58:39,339 --> 00:58:40,479
but also they have jobs.
:
00:58:40,799 --> 00:58:41,639
I mean, I don't,
:
00:58:42,359 --> 00:58:45,159
get the sense that they were, yeah,
they've gotta have, they're not
:
00:58:45,439 --> 00:58:50,359
independently wealthy in the fact that
part of the first, uh, scene of the
:
00:58:50,359 --> 00:58:53,159
movie is, oh, we can sell this boat
and pay off the credit card bills and
:
00:58:53,159 --> 00:58:54,519
get out from under the second mortgage.
:
00:58:54,979 --> 00:58:58,679
So that gives me the impression
that these PE are not people
:
00:58:58,699 --> 00:59:00,799
who have a nest egg and can live
:
00:59:02,454 --> 00:59:02,654
Katie: No,
:
00:59:02,739 --> 00:59:03,999
Shannon: on a boat not working.
:
00:59:04,459 --> 00:59:06,679
And remote work is not a thing yet.
:
00:59:07,279 --> 00:59:07,439
Audience.
:
00:59:07,739 --> 00:59:13,079
Um, so they're not, they're not
spending time on a computer down below
:
00:59:13,789 --> 00:59:16,039
four hours a day, seven days a week.
:
00:59:16,339 --> 00:59:19,639
Uh, so yeah, so there, there
was some inconsistencies in
:
00:59:19,639 --> 00:59:23,319
the ending, but whatever, you
know, it's, it, it ended happy.
:
00:59:25,004 --> 00:59:29,094
Katie: It's a great, to that point,
I actually, so I'm not usually
:
00:59:29,204 --> 00:59:34,214
like all in favor of a sequel,
but it was a great movie ending.
:
00:59:35,114 --> 00:59:38,454
But I think what we needed
was a sequel to this.
:
00:59:38,484 --> 00:59:41,374
Obviously it lost money, so
that's why they didn't, but I'd
:
00:59:41,374 --> 00:59:45,494
really like to see what they're
up to now as well as Captain Ron.
:
00:59:45,514 --> 00:59:48,854
Do they somehow run into each other
and get up to more adventure together?
:
00:59:48,884 --> 00:59:52,534
Like I wanna see what the six
months later picture looks like.
:
00:59:54,459 --> 00:59:54,749
Shannon: Yeah.
:
00:59:54,849 --> 00:59:59,069
You know, maybe Captain Ron is being
pursued by the Cuban militia and now
:
00:59:59,209 --> 01:00:01,669
the Harvey family has to save him.
:
01:00:01,729 --> 01:00:03,189
And Hi, jinx and Sue.
:
01:00:03,889 --> 01:00:05,749
Um, Katie.
:
01:00:05,779 --> 01:00:09,189
Well, there, there's our opening,
there's a, there's our opening for
:
01:00:09,434 --> 01:00:10,264
Katie: Start writing it.
:
01:00:10,264 --> 01:00:10,544
Shannon.
:
01:00:10,674 --> 01:00:11,624
Let's get this down.
:
01:00:12,644 --> 01:00:13,784
Hey, studio execs.
:
01:00:13,784 --> 01:00:16,024
Do you remember that movie
from::
01:00:16,334 --> 01:00:18,144
Well, we've got a sequel to it.
:
01:00:21,874 --> 01:00:26,174
Shannon: We are gonna totally
redeem all of you and make this the
:
01:00:26,174 --> 01:00:27,734
blockbuster that you anticipated
:
01:00:28,784 --> 01:00:29,004
Katie: Yep.
:
01:00:30,014 --> 01:00:30,784
Shannon: It's like if somebody
:
01:00:30,784 --> 01:00:32,224
wrote a sequel to Titanic.
:
01:00:33,464 --> 01:00:33,754
Katie: yeah.
:
01:00:36,384 --> 01:00:41,834
, well, I don't about that, but
it, it was actually filmed in
:
01:00:41,834 --> 01:00:44,834
Puerto Rico and Chicago, and
I do appreciate those touches.
:
01:00:45,294 --> 01:00:46,514
That's probably why it costs money,
:
01:00:47,164 --> 01:00:47,584
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:00:47,664 --> 01:00:49,114
Katie: like cost 24 million, but.
:
01:00:51,584 --> 01:00:58,184
The film had, so Captain Ron was not its
original title originally it was Martin
:
01:00:58,184 --> 01:01:00,704
Harvey takes a cruise, which is awful.
:
01:01:01,324 --> 01:01:02,624
So that's terrible.
:
01:01:03,334 --> 01:01:07,544
Then don't rock the boat,
which would've been okay.
:
01:01:08,204 --> 01:01:15,784
And the then also on the wanderer before
it was finally released as Captain Ron.
:
01:01:15,804 --> 01:01:16,224
Mm-Hmm.
:
01:01:17,284 --> 01:01:18,374
Shannon: they made the right choice.
:
01:01:19,631 --> 01:01:20,111
Katie: I agree.
:
01:01:20,421 --> 01:01:27,221
Shannon, did you know that this
was the third, this is one of,
:
01:01:27,241 --> 01:01:32,141
it wasn't the third one of three
movies where Kurt Russell Dawns and
:
01:01:32,261 --> 01:01:33,941
Eye Patch, were you aware of that?
:
01:01:35,451 --> 01:01:36,491
Shannon: I was not aware of that.
:
01:01:36,681 --> 01:01:37,771
What were the other two?
:
01:01:40,251 --> 01:01:43,351
Katie: Escape From New York,
which is a pretty famous movie
:
01:01:43,931 --> 01:01:44,351
and his.
:
01:01:45,281 --> 01:01:46,251
Then it's sequel.
:
01:01:46,511 --> 01:01:49,131
So that was from:escape from New York.
:
01:01:49,551 --> 01:01:51,971
He and his character's
name is Snake Polskin.
:
01:01:52,591 --> 01:02:00,221
He reprises his role as Snake Polskin
in the sequel from 96 Escape from LA and
:
01:02:00,251 --> 01:02:01,011
Shannon: do remember those movies.
:
01:02:01,621 --> 01:02:03,491
Never saw them, but I do remember them.
:
01:02:03,611 --> 01:02:03,891
I did.
:
01:02:04,051 --> 01:02:06,051
I did not know he wore an eye patch.
:
01:02:07,356 --> 01:02:10,456
And what's, I think when you asked
me earlier like, you know what I
:
01:02:10,456 --> 01:02:12,896
thought about this movie and I was
talking about laugh Out loud moments.
:
01:02:13,436 --> 01:02:16,976
The first time I laughed out loud
in watching this movie, um, again,
:
01:02:17,116 --> 01:02:23,016
was when he's sleeping and he
had moved the iPad, so it's his,
:
01:02:23,211 --> 01:02:23,431
Katie: Yes.
:
01:02:26,596 --> 01:02:27,296
Shannon: and so
:
01:02:27,301 --> 01:02:27,861
Katie: he's dead
:
01:02:28,656 --> 01:02:28,946
Shannon: he's
:
01:02:29,181 --> 01:02:30,671
Katie: because his glass eye.
:
01:02:32,476 --> 01:02:37,296
Shannon: But as a child, I remember
thinking that the joke was that he
:
01:02:37,296 --> 01:02:42,396
slept with his eyes open, thinking
about the glass eye He was like,
:
01:02:42,496 --> 01:02:43,556
he slept with his eyes open.
:
01:02:43,616 --> 01:02:44,956
And that's the joke, you know,
:
01:02:47,111 --> 01:02:47,331
Katie: No.
:
01:02:47,921 --> 01:02:52,411
Also, I did quite enjoy the shower
scene that they get stuck in the
:
01:02:52,411 --> 01:02:52,651
shower
:
01:02:52,816 --> 01:02:54,496
Shannon: yeah, that's a little bit racy.
:
01:02:54,546 --> 01:02:55,256
There was some
:
01:02:55,291 --> 01:02:55,451
Katie: cute.
:
01:02:55,616 --> 01:02:57,336
Shannon: in That If you
look close, there was
:
01:02:57,336 --> 01:02:57,856
some nudity.
:
01:02:58,261 --> 01:02:58,541
Katie: nudity.
:
01:02:59,096 --> 01:02:59,386
Shannon: Yeah,
:
01:02:59,561 --> 01:02:59,851
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:02:59,911 --> 01:03:00,651
What's her face?
:
01:03:00,921 --> 01:03:01,211
Yeah.
:
01:03:01,606 --> 01:03:02,066
Shannon: she, yeah.
:
01:03:02,126 --> 01:03:03,226
And I'm like, what is this?
:
01:03:03,246 --> 01:03:03,906
Is this pg?
:
01:03:03,906 --> 01:03:05,026
Or, but you said PG 13.
:
01:03:05,126 --> 01:03:05,346
So.
:
01:03:07,051 --> 01:03:07,271
Katie: Yep.
:
01:03:07,691 --> 01:03:07,911
PG
:
01:03:08,086 --> 01:03:09,106
Shannon: it was not overt.
:
01:03:09,286 --> 01:03:10,386
Um, but it was there.
:
01:03:10,416 --> 01:03:11,946
That was a funny scene though as well.
:
01:03:12,646 --> 01:03:15,546
Martin Short does slapstick
physical comedy pretty well.
:
01:03:15,586 --> 01:03:18,506
I think that goes back to
his, like at Grimly Days.
:
01:03:20,024 --> 01:03:24,764
Katie: He, he does, and it, he was
pretty big at this time, right?
:
01:03:24,764 --> 01:03:29,524
This was his, like late eighties, early
nineties, was at Martin Short's time
:
01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:30,679
Shannon: I think so.
:
01:03:30,759 --> 01:03:35,399
I mean, he wasn't on Saturday Night
Live anymore, um, because he, he
:
01:03:35,399 --> 01:03:36,799
did a stint on Saturday Night Live.
:
01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:37,038
Right?
:
01:03:37,239 --> 01:03:37,679
I, yeah.
:
01:03:39,304 --> 01:03:39,663
Katie: I think so.
:
01:03:40,519 --> 01:03:40,809
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:03:41,469 --> 01:03:44,729
Um, but he also did a movie,
and I don't know if you've ever
:
01:03:44,729 --> 01:03:47,769
seen it, but I think it's around
this time, um, called Clifford.
:
01:03:48,319 --> 01:03:51,329
Have you ever seen that movie
where he plays a 12-year-old boy?
:
01:03:53,219 --> 01:03:54,139
I, I encourage
:
01:03:54,139 --> 01:03:54,579
you to watch that
:
01:03:54,663 --> 01:03:54,954
Katie: that
:
01:03:55,174 --> 01:03:56,074
sounds familiar.
:
01:03:56,334 --> 01:03:57,194
It sounds familiar.
:
01:03:57,334 --> 01:03:57,754
Mm-Hmm.
:
01:03:57,999 --> 01:03:58,288
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:03:58,524 --> 01:03:59,184
Katie: But I don't,
:
01:03:59,479 --> 01:04:01,609
Shannon: Charles Groden is in it.
:
01:04:01,788 --> 01:04:05,369
He plays, he plays his uncle
and Mary Steenburgen is in it.
:
01:04:05,709 --> 01:04:05,929
Um,
:
01:04:06,894 --> 01:04:07,274
Katie: Oh, I
:
01:04:07,389 --> 01:04:08,649
Shannon: is it, yeah.
:
01:04:08,939 --> 01:04:12,569
Again, one of those movies that
when I was like 11, 12 would've
:
01:04:12,569 --> 01:04:14,329
watched over and over as an adult.
:
01:04:14,389 --> 01:04:16,449
I'm curious to see how
I would react to it.
:
01:04:16,469 --> 01:04:19,529
So maybe I need to pop that, find
that video cassette somewhere
:
01:04:19,529 --> 01:04:21,209
around here and pop it into the vcr.
:
01:04:21,744 --> 01:04:26,224
Katie: I . I bet it's not as great as you
remember that, that that happens a lot.
:
01:04:27,229 --> 01:04:27,519
Shannon: yeah.
:
01:04:27,904 --> 01:04:32,284
Katie: One of the things that I found
fascinating get this, according to John
:
01:04:32,334 --> 01:04:34,364
Dwyer, one of the movie's, screenwriters.
:
01:04:35,288 --> 01:04:40,788
Martin Short was originally cast
as Captain Ron and Kurt Russell was
:
01:04:40,949 --> 01:04:42,149
supposed to play the family man.
:
01:04:42,849 --> 01:04:47,869
But this again, this is according to
John Dwyer short, and Russell got drunk
:
01:04:47,889 --> 01:04:49,469
one night and decided to switch roles.
:
01:04:49,869 --> 01:04:53,509
I don't know how true that is,
but i's what John Dwyer said.
:
01:04:54,284 --> 01:04:54,504
Shannon: It
:
01:04:54,504 --> 01:04:56,064
would've been a, yeah.
:
01:04:56,074 --> 01:04:57,424
Completely different movie.
:
01:04:57,704 --> 01:05:01,024
'cause I don't feel like Morton
Short has any sex appeal whatsoever.
:
01:05:01,163 --> 01:05:02,384
And that was part of the
:
01:05:02,454 --> 01:05:04,504
storyline of Captain Ron
:
01:05:04,509 --> 01:05:04,799
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:05:05,029 --> 01:05:05,319
Yeah.
:
01:05:05,904 --> 01:05:07,304
Shannon: I mean, a big
part of the storyline.
:
01:05:07,804 --> 01:05:08,784
It would've been highly
:
01:05:09,264 --> 01:05:09,704
unbelievable.
:
01:05:10,634 --> 01:05:10,924
Yeah.
:
01:05:12,834 --> 01:05:14,364
Clarice, or whatever her name is,
:
01:05:14,904 --> 01:05:16,324
It would've been a very different movie.
:
01:05:16,464 --> 01:05:21,244
And, and I, I know I, they would've really
have had to pull out, put out their acting
:
01:05:21,374 --> 01:05:23,524
chops to make people believe that I.
:
01:05:23,649 --> 01:05:29,554
Martin Short was the, the stud
and Kurt Russell was the, you, you
:
01:05:29,554 --> 01:05:31,994
know, the mild mannered
suburbanite, husband
:
01:05:33,269 --> 01:05:33,559
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:05:35,129 --> 01:05:39,859
Also, um, what we talked about on the
show actually is, so Kurt Russell and
:
01:05:39,969 --> 01:05:43,699
John Carpenter, the director, John
Carpenter, they have one of those
:
01:05:43,699 --> 01:05:47,339
relationships like a De Niro, Scorsese,
you know, they do a lot of movies
:
01:05:48,044 --> 01:05:48,464
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:05:49,038 --> 01:05:53,224
Katie: Well, when Kurt Russell was
cast to do this, apparently John
:
01:05:53,224 --> 01:05:58,609
Carpenter was nearly called into direct,
um, because he really likes Kurt.
:
01:05:58,949 --> 01:06:03,769
But he admits that he would've said yes,
but mostly just to shoot in the Caribbean.
:
01:06:03,839 --> 01:06:05,889
Like he had no interest in
making the movie other than
:
01:06:05,889 --> 01:06:07,689
that . But he did not direct
:
01:06:09,954 --> 01:06:10,194
Shannon: Interesting.
:
01:06:10,404 --> 01:06:11,634
Again, a very different movie.
:
01:06:11,774 --> 01:06:12,034
I'm sure.
:
01:06:13,439 --> 01:06:15,579
Katie: It would've been, I wonder, yeah.
:
01:06:15,959 --> 01:06:18,538
Now I wonder if, I wonder
:
01:06:18,538 --> 01:06:19,569
Shannon: Maybe more action.
:
01:06:19,799 --> 01:06:20,089
More.
:
01:06:20,089 --> 01:06:20,329
Yeah.
:
01:06:20,329 --> 01:06:21,169
It could have been, there
:
01:06:21,169 --> 01:06:23,729
might have been more action, um, in the
:
01:06:23,799 --> 01:06:24,969
Katie: Well, there was a lot of action.
:
01:06:24,989 --> 01:06:26,449
It was like boom, boom, boom.
:
01:06:27,249 --> 01:06:27,538
Shannon: yeah.
:
01:06:27,769 --> 01:06:28,059
Yeah.
:
01:06:28,139 --> 01:06:28,538
I mean, when
:
01:06:28,538 --> 01:06:31,819
you got, when you finally got to the
part where they were hijacked by the
:
01:06:31,849 --> 01:06:34,459
pirates or the, um, the gorillas.
:
01:06:35,038 --> 01:06:41,029
Uh, but I guess, yeah, um, as far,
I, I just feel like maybe there
:
01:06:41,029 --> 01:06:45,349
would've been more chase scenes or
things like that if, if Carpenter had
:
01:06:45,629 --> 01:06:46,709
directed it, but I could be wrong.
:
01:06:48,434 --> 01:06:52,694
Katie: No, that's a good point that
speaking of the gorillas, I freaking
:
01:06:53,099 --> 01:06:53,179
Shannon: actually
:
01:06:53,224 --> 01:06:53,974
Katie: loved that.
:
01:06:55,559 --> 01:06:56,179
Shannon: that's the funny
:
01:06:56,234 --> 01:06:59,884
Katie: It's not gorillas, gorillas.
:
01:07:01,794 --> 01:07:03,884
It's like, hey, uh,
stay on the path there.
:
01:07:03,934 --> 01:07:05,764
Watch out for the, watch
out for the gorillas.
:
01:07:05,934 --> 01:07:09,584
There are no gorillas in the Caribbean.
:
01:07:10,454 --> 01:07:10,744
Okay.
:
01:07:13,024 --> 01:07:16,284
Shannon: He could have said,
freedom fighters, not gorillas.
:
01:07:17,154 --> 01:07:18,054
So that was, that
:
01:07:18,054 --> 01:07:18,814
was another, that.
:
01:07:18,814 --> 01:07:20,413
was another .Yeah.
:
01:07:20,644 --> 01:07:21,094
Gags a
:
01:07:21,094 --> 01:07:21,694
lot of gags.
:
01:07:22,114 --> 01:07:22,534
Mm-Hmm.
:
01:07:23,494 --> 01:07:25,764
Which I feel like Martin
Short is known for.
:
01:07:27,774 --> 01:07:28,264
Katie: Good point.
:
01:07:29,244 --> 01:07:29,534
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:07:29,659 --> 01:07:35,869
Katie: Another little bit of trivia
is, I don't know if I would've noticed
:
01:07:36,009 --> 01:07:38,349
it had I not read this in advance.
:
01:07:38,409 --> 01:07:44,029
So I'm curious if you, so if you
did, there are two points in which
:
01:07:44,299 --> 01:07:45,909
Captain Ron is driving a car.
:
01:07:45,909 --> 01:07:52,029
He pulls up in that yellow car that
ends up going into the ocean, and
:
01:07:52,029 --> 01:07:56,189
then when they're in Cuba and he's
driving the red 57 Chevy, right.
:
01:07:56,504 --> 01:07:56,854
Shannon: Right.
:
01:07:57,719 --> 01:08:02,479
Katie: Both of those cars have the
left headlight out, which is the
:
01:08:02,479 --> 01:08:05,079
same eye that he has as a patch.
:
01:08:05,899 --> 01:08:06,119
Did
:
01:08:06,184 --> 01:08:07,004
Shannon: Didn't notice it.
:
01:08:07,504 --> 01:08:07,724
No.
:
01:08:08,859 --> 01:08:08,979
Katie: I,
:
01:08:09,538 --> 01:08:09,979
I wouldn't.
:
01:08:10,139 --> 01:08:13,219
I did because I had read that in
advance of watching the movie.
:
01:08:13,879 --> 01:08:15,459
But yeah, that
:
01:08:15,524 --> 01:08:15,874
Shannon: Which
:
01:08:16,059 --> 01:08:16,379
Katie: touch.
:
01:08:16,814 --> 01:08:17,514
Shannon: it is a nice
:
01:08:17,564 --> 01:08:17,913
touch.
:
01:08:18,294 --> 01:08:21,913
Um, and maybe they wanted more people
to notice it because in the little
:
01:08:21,913 --> 01:08:25,234
yellow car, there's no need for the
lights to be on the headlights to be on.
:
01:08:25,394 --> 01:08:28,804
'cause he pulls up
during the day, you know.
:
01:08:29,154 --> 01:08:31,073
Katie: I should say it's
like busted out that,
:
01:08:31,243 --> 01:08:31,823
Shannon: busted out.
:
01:08:31,993 --> 01:08:32,154
Katie: it.
:
01:08:32,884 --> 01:08:33,174
Yeah.
:
01:08:33,323 --> 01:08:33,613
It's
:
01:08:33,684 --> 01:08:34,344
Shannon: No, I didn't,
:
01:08:35,484 --> 01:08:35,774
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:08:35,894 --> 01:08:36,654
Shannon: I didn't notice that.
:
01:08:37,283 --> 01:08:39,354
Those little Easter eggs are always fun.
:
01:08:39,774 --> 01:08:40,634
Uh, you know
:
01:08:41,294 --> 01:08:42,033
the significance.
:
01:08:42,184 --> 01:08:42,474
Yeah.
:
01:08:43,827 --> 01:08:49,886
Katie: Apparently a lot of, uh, captain
Ron's personal wardrobe came, came from
:
01:08:49,926 --> 01:08:56,747
Kurt Russell's closet and, uh, his like
mannerisms at like being piratey, wearing
:
01:08:56,807 --> 01:09:01,907
the Speedo was suggested by Russell, which
is kind of surprising to me actually.
:
01:09:03,917 --> 01:09:04,497
Shannon: Really, because
:
01:09:04,506 --> 01:09:08,737
again, I just, I, I see him as
a comedic actor who's kind of
:
01:09:08,737 --> 01:09:10,577
like goofy and oh, you know,
:
01:09:10,997 --> 01:09:11,216
um,
:
01:09:11,527 --> 01:09:14,987
Katie: he is, I guess, but like
his wardrobe, I just don't like,
:
01:09:15,727 --> 01:09:17,227
why would Kurt Russell have those?
:
01:09:18,797 --> 01:09:19,287
Clothes
:
01:09:20,064 --> 01:09:24,554
Shannon: I mean, he probably spends a lot
of time just not, if he doesn't have to
:
01:09:24,554 --> 01:09:26,474
dress up, he doesn't, he doesn't want to.
:
01:09:27,094 --> 01:09:27,314
One.
:
01:09:27,413 --> 01:09:30,874
And speaking of wardrobe, I wanted
to mention I really liked his, I
:
01:09:30,874 --> 01:09:34,323
hope this is his, now that you're
saying this, that Jamaican flag, the
:
01:09:34,323 --> 01:09:38,004
colors of the, of the Jamaican flag,
that hat, uh, that he wears at the,
:
01:09:38,274 --> 01:09:38,684
Like the
:
01:09:38,774 --> 01:09:39,124
beret.
:
01:09:39,264 --> 01:09:39,484
Katie: hat.
:
01:09:39,929 --> 01:09:40,589
Shannon: The roster hat.
:
01:09:40,589 --> 01:09:40,828
Yeah.
:
01:09:40,884 --> 01:09:41,174
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:09:41,759 --> 01:09:42,589
Shannon: liked that.
:
01:09:43,009 --> 01:09:43,229
Um,
:
01:09:43,689 --> 01:09:46,948
and now that you said that, I'm like,
oh, I hope that was his 'cause it really
:
01:09:46,948 --> 01:09:48,709
added what I feel is like a nice touch.
:
01:09:50,573 --> 01:09:50,993
Katie: It did.
:
01:09:50,993 --> 01:09:52,993
And it's to your point about that.
:
01:09:53,104 --> 01:09:54,033
Good, good point.
:
01:09:54,374 --> 01:09:56,624
It, that tells us everything.
:
01:09:57,124 --> 01:09:59,064
His appearance alone tells
us everything we knew.
:
01:09:59,254 --> 01:10:02,394
Need to know about who this
person is, like at first sight
:
01:10:03,309 --> 01:10:03,529
Shannon: Yes.
:
01:10:03,949 --> 01:10:04,169
Yes.
:
01:10:04,274 --> 01:10:04,693
Katie: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:10:05,489 --> 01:10:08,689
Shannon: I think they're a very,
he and his wi or partner, um,
:
01:10:08,989 --> 01:10:10,849
are a very laid back couple.
:
01:10:10,849 --> 01:10:14,649
They don't embrace like the Hollywood
lifestyle and you know, just
:
01:10:15,159 --> 01:10:18,289
when they're not making a movie, they're
just mom and dad and grandpa and grandma.
:
01:10:19,999 --> 01:10:20,289
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:10:20,289 --> 01:10:20,849
Which is cool.
:
01:10:21,009 --> 01:10:22,689
I get that vibe from 'em also.
:
01:10:23,469 --> 01:10:27,009
And I love, I feel like I say this
a lot, I love that, A, they're not
:
01:10:27,009 --> 01:10:32,079
married and b, that she's something like
seven or eight years older than he is,
:
01:10:33,068 --> 01:10:39,959
which is unusual, especially in Hollywood,
but also that's, it makes more sense that
:
01:10:39,959 --> 01:10:42,689
way because men die sooner, you know?
:
01:10:43,349 --> 01:10:47,609
So really to, to maximize
your time with a person.
:
01:10:48,789 --> 01:10:52,239
The woman should be older, right?
:
01:10:52,954 --> 01:10:53,244
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:10:53,244 --> 01:10:54,204
That's, that's good math.
:
01:10:54,224 --> 01:10:54,924
That's good math.
:
01:10:54,924 --> 01:10:55,204
Katie
:
01:10:55,949 --> 01:10:56,369
Katie: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:10:56,424 --> 01:10:57,364
Shannon: That's good math.
:
01:10:57,669 --> 01:10:58,209
Katie: You like that?
:
01:10:58,989 --> 01:11:03,849
? Now that I'm getting older, I'm
like, yeah, one of my favorite parts
:
01:11:03,869 --> 01:11:08,329
of trivia is who was considered in
terms of like alternate casting.
:
01:11:09,649 --> 01:11:11,369
I thought this would've been hilarious.
:
01:11:13,079 --> 01:11:16,179
Tom Arnold was considered
for the role of Captain Ron
:
01:11:16,954 --> 01:11:21,134
Shannon: Ah, again, lack of, um, physical
:
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:22,059
Katie: Sex appeal.
:
01:11:22,404 --> 01:11:22,693
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:11:22,794 --> 01:11:23,454
Sex appeal.
:
01:11:23,684 --> 01:11:23,974
Yeah.
:
01:11:24,164 --> 01:11:24,454
Yeah.
:
01:11:25,129 --> 01:11:28,389
Katie: But again, like I was not
physically attracted to Captain Rotten,
:
01:11:28,389 --> 01:11:31,269
like at all, but I see what you're saying.
:
01:11:31,269 --> 01:11:32,909
Like he was kind of a lady's man.
:
01:11:33,764 --> 01:11:34,054
Shannon: yeah.
:
01:11:34,074 --> 01:11:35,054
You had to believe it.
:
01:11:35,054 --> 01:11:38,094
Even if you weren't attracted to
him, you had to believe that ladies
:
01:11:38,094 --> 01:11:39,094
were attracted to him because
:
01:11:39,094 --> 01:11:41,894
that was the whole point
of, of Martin's insecurity.
:
01:11:42,074 --> 01:11:43,734
And um, you know, you
:
01:11:43,734 --> 01:11:44,934
had to believe that he was somebody.
:
01:11:44,934 --> 01:11:45,174
Yeah.
:
01:11:45,204 --> 01:11:45,494
Yeah.
:
01:11:46,274 --> 01:11:47,334
But I couldn't see Tom Arnold.
:
01:11:47,754 --> 01:11:48,294
That's fine.
:
01:11:49,297 --> 01:11:53,057
Katie: Yeah, he, he ultimately was passed
over, , because at that time he didn't
:
01:11:53,057 --> 01:11:54,777
have a lot of movie acting experience.
:
01:11:54,997 --> 01:11:56,297
, and he had like a time commit, commit.
:
01:11:56,317 --> 01:11:58,177
He was on the Roseanne
show 'cause he was married
:
01:11:58,227 --> 01:11:58,647
Shannon: Uh, yeah.
:
01:11:58,667 --> 01:11:59,087
Mm-Hmm.
:
01:11:59,097 --> 01:11:59,217
.
Katie: time.
:
01:12:00,137 --> 01:12:00,557
Mm-Hmm.
:
01:12:01,657 --> 01:12:06,757
and Jeff Bridges was also considered,
but he had other commitments.
:
01:12:07,467 --> 01:12:09,717
It's very like Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges.
:
01:12:09,937 --> 01:12:10,157
So
:
01:12:10,467 --> 01:12:10,687
Shannon: uh.
:
01:12:10,757 --> 01:12:13,257
Katie: I could sort of
see that a little bit.
:
01:12:14,232 --> 01:12:17,172
Shannon: He did, you know, comparing
his character and the big, the
:
01:12:17,172 --> 01:12:21,132
dude and the Big Lebowski and Kurt
Russell's character in Captain Ron.
:
01:12:21,132 --> 01:12:26,502
There are similarities in those two
individuals, you know, as far as their
:
01:12:26,502 --> 01:12:28,422
personality and, yeah.
:
01:12:28,442 --> 01:12:30,902
And their, um, uh, gestures and actions.
:
01:12:31,242 --> 01:12:33,462
Um, so I could see, I could see that.
:
01:12:33,942 --> 01:12:37,742
I still think that Kurt Russell is
more attractive than Jeff Bridges, but
:
01:12:39,237 --> 01:12:40,937
Katie: Oh, a bazillion times.
:
01:12:41,317 --> 01:12:41,537
Yes.
:
01:12:41,807 --> 01:12:42,097
Yeah.
:
01:12:42,577 --> 01:12:46,737
I, I think Kurt Russell is very attractive
ordinarily just not as Captain Ron.
:
01:12:47,904 --> 01:12:51,204
Martin, do you have any guesses
for who was considered to play
:
01:12:51,204 --> 01:12:52,364
Martin, other than Martin Short?
:
01:12:52,984 --> 01:12:54,574
Can you think of other
people kind of like him?
:
01:12:55,379 --> 01:12:56,239
Shannon: in the nineties.
:
01:12:56,699 --> 01:12:56,919
Um,
:
01:12:58,114 --> 01:12:58,404
Katie: Yeah,
:
01:12:58,409 --> 01:13:01,229
Shannon: the only person that's maybe
coming to mind, and this is probably
:
01:13:01,229 --> 01:13:06,068
just my association, uh, because of their
partnership now, would be Steve Martin.
:
01:13:06,889 --> 01:13:08,749
Um, you know, he,
:
01:13:08,769 --> 01:13:08,989
he
:
01:13:09,089 --> 01:13:09,549
He also.
:
01:13:10,534 --> 01:13:11,114
He was one.
:
01:13:12,014 --> 01:13:12,234
Um,
:
01:13:12,614 --> 01:13:12,834
and
:
01:13:12,834 --> 01:13:13,154
maybe
:
01:13:13,224 --> 01:13:13,714
because
:
01:13:13,874 --> 01:13:14,114
Katie: considered.
:
01:13:14,984 --> 01:13:17,664
Shannon: Interesting and maybe
Bill Murray, just because of the
:
01:13:17,664 --> 01:13:21,504
time and like the types of movies
Bill Murray was doing at that time.
:
01:13:22,624 --> 01:13:24,704
Katie: I can see why you
say that, but he wasn't
:
01:13:25,374 --> 01:13:25,664
Shannon: Okay.
:
01:13:25,959 --> 01:13:28,409
Katie: Partially because
he had like literally done.
:
01:13:28,679 --> 01:13:30,049
What about Bob the year
:
01:13:30,049 --> 01:13:30,369
before?
:
01:13:30,669 --> 01:13:32,129
So it's like kind of the same movie,
:
01:13:32,474 --> 01:13:32,764
?
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:13:32,794 --> 01:13:35,684
It's just, he would just be playing a
different, he would be playing the, the
:
01:13:35,804 --> 01:13:36,764
straight man character.
:
01:13:37,584 --> 01:13:38,244
Um, yeah.
:
01:13:38,244 --> 01:13:38,644
Steve Martin.
:
01:13:38,764 --> 01:13:39,564
I can't think of anybody else.
:
01:13:39,943 --> 01:13:42,044
Uh, who, who, who else am I missing?
:
01:13:43,619 --> 01:13:47,079
Katie: So apparently it was
originally written for Chevy
:
01:13:47,209 --> 01:13:49,979
Chase, which I can see it's very
:
01:13:50,404 --> 01:13:50,693
Shannon: yeah.
:
01:13:51,219 --> 01:13:53,219
Katie: Lampoons esque in that way.
:
01:13:54,039 --> 01:13:58,899
Um, but somebody that who I think is
very Martin shorty is Rick Moranis.
:
01:13:59,943 --> 01:14:00,164
Shannon: Oh,
:
01:14:00,474 --> 01:14:01,404
very much so.
:
01:14:01,409 --> 01:14:01,649
Katie: play,
:
01:14:02,693 --> 01:14:02,914
Shannon: Yes.
:
01:14:03,589 --> 01:14:06,729
Katie: he had too many other
commitments and, and he went away.
:
01:14:06,749 --> 01:14:12,409
For those of you who maybe don't recall
this, his, um, wife died of cancer, so he
:
01:14:12,409 --> 01:14:14,289
kind of left Hollywood to raise his kids.
:
01:14:14,909 --> 01:14:15,329
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:14:15,549 --> 01:14:16,929
Katie: that's what he
was doing at this time.
:
01:14:17,909 --> 01:14:22,009
And apparently they were on SCTV
together, he and Martin Short.
:
01:14:23,159 --> 01:14:24,019
Shannon: Is that the Canadian?
:
01:14:24,484 --> 01:14:25,384
Katie: Are they both Canadian?
:
01:14:26,119 --> 01:14:26,339
Shannon: Yes.
:
01:14:26,568 --> 01:14:26,859
Yeah.
:
01:14:27,049 --> 01:14:27,339
Yeah.
:
01:14:27,339 --> 01:14:28,019
That's the Canadian
:
01:14:28,339 --> 01:14:28,859
Saturday Night Live.
:
01:14:28,939 --> 01:14:30,059
I know Martin Short is Canadian.
:
01:14:30,259 --> 01:14:34,899
I guess I didn't know that Rick Moranis
was Canadian or performed in Canada.
:
01:14:36,154 --> 01:14:36,443
Katie: Yeah.
:
01:14:36,884 --> 01:14:38,604
I, I kind of don't think
I realized that either.
:
01:14:39,474 --> 01:14:45,324
Also considered Billy Crystal,
John Candy, Richard Dreyfuss,
:
01:14:47,693 --> 01:14:53,024
and this one is one who I would,
John Ritter was also considered.
:
01:14:53,264 --> 01:14:54,744
I think he would do a really good job.
:
01:14:55,539 --> 01:14:58,199
Shannon: he would've, yeah,
I could see him doing that.
:
01:14:58,579 --> 01:14:59,919
Um, absolutely.
:
01:15:00,519 --> 01:15:01,439
I think, uh.
:
01:15:02,839 --> 01:15:06,289
John Candy would've been
funny, but he also did well.
:
01:15:06,629 --> 01:15:08,049
Uh, what, uh, what was that one?
:
01:15:08,049 --> 01:15:10,568
Where they like get the summer,
summer rental or something.
:
01:15:10,799 --> 01:15:13,609
He's kind of that character
or Summer, summer house.
:
01:15:13,609 --> 01:15:14,089
Summer rental.
:
01:15:14,144 --> 01:15:14,434
Katie: yeah.
:
01:15:15,219 --> 01:15:15,509
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:15:15,514 --> 01:15:15,934
Katie: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:15:16,679 --> 01:15:16,969
Shannon: Yeah.
:
01:15:17,429 --> 01:15:20,449
Um, well those are
interesting, uh, choices now.
:
01:15:20,719 --> 01:15:24,289
Does it say, um, where you're getting
this information if they turned it down
:
01:15:24,549 --> 01:15:27,529
or, and they just landed on Martin shirt.
:
01:15:27,559 --> 01:15:29,529
He's the one that raised his
hand and said, sure, I'll do it.
:
01:15:29,709 --> 01:15:30,209
I'm not busy.
:
01:15:30,789 --> 01:15:33,969
Or if like, they lined him up
and said, this guy right here.
:
01:15:34,389 --> 01:15:35,529
And then everybody went away.
:
01:15:35,629 --> 01:15:35,849
Sad.
:
01:15:36,068 --> 01:15:38,409
The ones that didn't get
picked we're like, oh no, this
:
01:15:38,409 --> 01:15:38,889
is gonna make
:
01:15:39,049 --> 01:15:39,269
Katie: Sad.
:
01:15:40,219 --> 01:15:41,749
Well, they want it.
:
01:15:41,769 --> 01:15:45,109
So I'm Chevy Chase turned it
down 'cause apparently it was
:
01:15:45,109 --> 01:15:46,029
originally written for him.
:
01:15:46,779 --> 01:15:48,589
Rick Moranis turned it down.
:
01:15:48,809 --> 01:15:53,789
So these are people who were offered
and then those others, um, probably
:
01:15:54,509 --> 01:15:55,669
auditioned but didn't make it.
:
01:15:55,999 --> 01:15:59,349
Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, John
Ritter, John Candy, and Richard Dreyfuss.
:
01:15:59,539 --> 01:16:01,989
Because Martin ultimately
ended up with the role.
:
01:16:02,249 --> 01:16:02,989
Martin Short,
:
01:16:03,059 --> 01:16:04,939
Shannon: I bet that's what they're
gonna put on their tombstone.
:
01:16:05,039 --> 01:16:08,459
My biggest regret is
not landing Captain Ron
:
01:16:09,249 --> 01:16:10,059
Katie: captain Ryan.
:
01:16:11,599 --> 01:16:11,889
Yeah.
:
01:16:11,889 --> 01:16:14,489
They're, after they see
it, they're like, oh, whew.
:
01:16:14,839 --> 01:16:17,049
Good thing I was passed over for that one.
:
01:16:18,651 --> 01:16:20,471
Now, uh, let's see.
:
01:16:20,671 --> 01:16:21,791
I have not seen this movie.
:
01:16:21,861 --> 01:16:24,671
Have you seen Glass Onion,
A Knives Out Mystery.
:
01:16:25,126 --> 01:16:25,666
Shannon: Yes, I have
:
01:16:25,666 --> 01:16:29,186
very good, not as good as, not as
good as the knives out the original.
:
01:16:29,406 --> 01:16:32,146
Um, which I think is just a masterpiece.
:
01:16:32,606 --> 01:16:33,146
Um, but
:
01:16:33,146 --> 01:16:35,346
the glass onion was, was pretty good.
:
01:16:35,726 --> 01:16:37,826
Um, it's inter, you know, I like
:
01:16:37,826 --> 01:16:37,986
the
:
01:16:37,986 --> 01:16:38,426
characters.
:
01:16:39,016 --> 01:16:39,306
Yeah.
:
01:16:39,784 --> 01:16:42,384
Katie: I have heard similar things
from other people, so that's why I
:
01:16:42,384 --> 01:16:44,424
haven't been like racing to see it.
:
01:16:45,204 --> 01:16:50,424
But Noah Segan or Sagan, uh, he said
that he cited the character of Captain
:
01:16:50,474 --> 01:16:55,984
Wrong as an inspiration for his
performance as Darrel in that film.
:
01:16:57,824 --> 01:16:57,904
Shannon: Interesting.
:
01:16:58,224 --> 01:16:58,934
Katie: Who's, do you
:
01:16:59,104 --> 01:16:59,943
Shannon: the top of my head.
:
01:17:00,924 --> 01:17:01,144
No,
:
01:17:01,214 --> 01:17:01,414
Katie: it's
:
01:17:01,424 --> 01:17:02,064
Shannon: off the top of my head.
:
01:17:02,064 --> 01:17:05,594
I'll have to go D-E-R-O-L
:
01:17:06,564 --> 01:17:06,984
Katie: mm-Hmm.
:
01:17:07,704 --> 01:17:07,924
Shannon: and
:
01:17:07,924 --> 01:17:08,564
I'll have to go back
:
01:17:08,564 --> 01:17:09,204
and look at that.
:
01:17:09,224 --> 01:17:09,744
Katie: know the character.
:
01:17:09,744 --> 01:17:10,144
Mm-Hmm.
:
01:17:10,544 --> 01:17:14,804
Shannon: Um, I don't know if he's
one of the main cast, um, but
:
01:17:14,804 --> 01:17:15,724
I'll go back and look at that.
:
01:17:15,724 --> 01:17:16,443
That's interesting.
:
01:17:17,574 --> 01:17:18,404
It'll help somebody
:
01:17:18,464 --> 01:17:19,164
Katie: to check it out now.
:
01:17:20,779 --> 01:17:21,068
Yeah.
:
01:17:21,249 --> 01:17:23,749
He was like, let me just do,
no one's gonna remember Captain
:
01:17:23,969 --> 01:17:26,389
Ron . So let me just do that.
:
01:17:27,262 --> 01:17:28,772
We're being a little hard on this.
:
01:17:29,152 --> 01:17:32,972
If you haven't seen it,
I would say see it, but
:
01:17:32,977 --> 01:17:33,397
Shannon: Mm-Hmm.
:
01:17:35,012 --> 01:17:36,442
Katie: maybe don't buy it.
:
01:17:36,922 --> 01:17:37,362
I don't know.
:
01:17:37,502 --> 01:17:41,242
You know, it's, it's not one that you're
gonna revisit over and over again,
:
01:17:42,622 --> 01:17:48,242
but I will say I would love to leave
all of my responsibilities behind and
:
01:17:48,242 --> 01:17:50,362
go sailing around the world forever.
:
01:17:51,342 --> 01:17:53,762
But unfortunately it is a
movie and not real life.
:
01:17:54,022 --> 01:17:57,922
So we must now return
to present day reality.
:
01:17:58,432 --> 01:18:03,922
Shannon, thank you for joining me to
Relive::
01:18:04,622 --> 01:18:07,602
Uh, captain Ron, do you have any
closing thoughts about the movie?
:
01:18:08,202 --> 01:18:08,322
I.
:
01:18:09,097 --> 01:18:11,797
Shannon: No, just to echo what
you said, Katie, we are being
:
01:18:11,837 --> 01:18:13,357
a little bit hard, hard on it.
:
01:18:13,657 --> 01:18:18,797
Um, but it is a movie that I do remember
from my childhood and I would, I would
:
01:18:19,077 --> 01:18:22,517
recommend seeing it at least once, just
for the nostalgia of the early nineties.
:
01:18:22,857 --> 01:18:28,397
And it is, you know, for, for someone
who is, um, a sailor or has been
:
01:18:28,397 --> 01:18:33,837
sailing or is familiar with the terms
of sailing, I think it would resonate.
:
01:18:34,267 --> 01:18:35,207
Um, some of the,
:
01:18:35,467 --> 01:18:41,647
the comedy in it, um, would definitely,
would definitely come off as, as humorous
:
01:18:41,647 --> 01:18:45,087
and entertaining as someone who has
been exposed to being on a boat or
:
01:18:45,427 --> 01:18:49,527
can get some of the idiosyncrasies and
subtleties of, of sailing, um, themselves.
:
01:18:49,627 --> 01:18:51,047
So yeah, absolutely.
:
01:18:51,127 --> 01:18:54,607
I say watch at least once and
maybe tell Katie your thoughts.
:
01:18:55,326 --> 01:18:56,266
Katie: Yes, please do.
:
01:18:56,606 --> 01:19:00,066
And thank you all for listening
or watching on YouTube.
:
01:19:01,116 --> 01:19:04,776

comments, feedback, et cetera, email
