Katie:

thrill Ride that is Roadhouse and all of the other goings on of the time.

And I am so excited to have Jamie Fenderson and Milo Denison from the

Thanks guys for joining me.

Jamie:

Greetings,

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Thanks for having

Jamie:

us.

Katie:

tell us about you and your show.

s Uncensored:

Well it's basically the eighties and nineties.

s Uncensored:

So if it happened during, to those two glorious decades, it is up for discussion.

s Uncensored:

We'll do things like, uh, retrospectives where we talk about historic events.

s Uncensored:

Uh, we might do verses where we see who would win in a cage match

s Uncensored:

between Prince or Michael Jackson.

s Uncensored:

Various in depth discussions about, , the eighties and nineties.

s Uncensored:

That's pretty much it.

s Uncensored:

We, record once a week episodes every Monday.

Katie:

I love your show and you guys, if you like Retro Made, please

Katie:

It's really fun.

Jamie:

Thank

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: It's fun.

Jamie:

It's fun doing it.

Jamie:

Like I think that's the main reason why is we both really enjoy making the show,

Jamie:

Yeah, we don't have anything else to do either, so we're pretty much

Jamie:

like

Katie:

it shows that you guys are like legit friends outside the show.

Katie:

Speaking of eighties and nineties, I think we should get into the

Katie:

retro frame of mind by opening the time capsule from May, 1989.

Katie:

According to Nielsen ratings from the 88 89 season, there's

Katie:

some popular primetime tv.

Katie:

I'm curious what you guys think of these shows if you were watching them, if

Katie:

or if you have any specific thoughts.

Katie:

We have the Cosby Show.

Katie:

Roseanne a Different World.

Katie:

Cheers.

Katie:

The Golden Girls Who's The Boss, murder, she wrote Empty Nest and then

Katie:

two other shows that I'll get into in a second that I hadn't, that I

Katie:

didn't think were big at the time.

Katie:

But before I get into those, do you have any thoughts

Katie:

about that top lineup?

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Cheers is probably in my top

Katie:

10 list, if not top five.

Katie:

I am actually, my wife had never seen it and we're rewatching it right now and

Katie:

we're currently on season four or five.

Katie:

Uh, I think it's five.

Katie:

And so, uh, so that's how great of a show this is, that I'm

Katie:

forcing my wife to

Katie:

sit down and watch it with

Katie:

I can't

Jamie:

Yeah, I was rewatching

Jamie:

Cheers during the pandemic.

Jamie:

I was rewatching it because like, you can't go out and I'm like,

Jamie:

man, I miss going to the pub.

Jamie:

This sucks.

Jamie:

But I was like, oh wait, there's cheers.

Jamie:

So, and it's streaming for free . So I, I rewatched cheers during the pandemic

Jamie:

and I, like, I had some of my own beer.

Jamie:

Like I was just

Jamie:

like pretending

Jamie:

I was hanging out with Norm in the gang

Katie:

I love that.

Jamie:

It worked out.

Jamie:

It was awesome.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

Uh, the Cosby Show is an interesting one because it is a really

s Uncensored:

good show, but thanks to Bill Cosby's outside of the office,

s Uncensored:

uh, behavior

Jamie:

activities.

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah, it, uh, it doesn't really

Jamie:

get brought up too much anymore.

Jamie:

Um, you don't really see people rewatching it,

Jamie:

Yeah, but E, everybody watched it back then though, bro, remember?

Jamie:

And it wasn't like a racial thing or anything.

Jamie:

It was like everybody watched the Cosby Show back then and you didn't

Jamie:

know about whatever is happening

Jamie:

today.

Jamie:

So it, that was

Jamie:

the show that everybody

Jamie:

watched.

Jamie:

And I remember Roseanne, too.

Jamie:

Ro Roseanne was like my,

Jamie:

a trip because it was like more like my family than, than

Jamie:

all the other sitcom families.

Jamie:

Like they're all kind of perfect that you wish you had that family, but Roseanne's

Jamie:

kind of blue collar and they have issues.

Jamie:

I was like, that's, that's more like my family

Jamie:

actually , so I that's why I, like Roseanne

Jamie:

a lot.

Katie:

I think that's why it resonated with so many others is that so many

Katie:

families could relate to it because it wasn't perfect And their houses isn't

Katie:

always this like perfect show home and you know, I mean it's like the anti Huxtables

Katie:

Every season that it was on.

Katie:

It's listed, it's like in the top 10 shows for Nielsen ratings.

Katie:

But it is too bad that, obviously people don't feel comfortable

Katie:

or have a different, it just doesn't hit the same now,

Katie:

which is unfortunate.

Katie:

So anything but Love was a show that was in the top Nielsen

Katie:

ratings for this season.

Katie:

Had you guys ever heard of it?

Katie:

I

Katie:

had not.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: don't think so.

Katie:

Who was in

Katie:

it?

Jamie:

Uh,

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

It's, so it starred Richard Lewis as Marty Gold and Jamie Lee Curtis as Hannah Miller

Katie:

coworkers at a Chicago magazine, with a mutual romantic attraction who struggled

Katie:

to keep their relationship professional.

Katie:

So, you know, same story, but I had actually never heard of it,

Katie:

but it must have for a short time.

Katie:

, Been rated really well.

Katie:

I'd never

s Uncensored:

For like one season it was super popular and

Katie:

yeah,

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: nobody watched it after that.

Jamie:

I've never heard of it either.

Jamie:

That's

Jamie:

news

s Uncensored:

I've never, do you know how many seasons

s Uncensored:

it was on?

Katie:

It wasn't just one.

Katie:

It was like two or three, if I recall correctly.

Katie:

Another one that was in the top rated shows for this season was Dear John with

Katie:

Judd Hirsch,

Jamie:

Dear John.

Katie:

me.

Katie:

I'd

Katie:

actually never seen an

Katie:

episode.

Katie:

I, but I'm aware of what it is.

Jamie:

Dear

Katie:

you seen

Katie:

it or heard of it?

Katie:

Milo, you, you're

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I haven't never heard of it, but I'm

Katie:

guessing Jamie has 'cause he is singing

Jamie:

the theme song for it.

Jamie:

I remember that one.

Jamie:

I remember the theme song for it.

Jamie:

By the time you get this letter, I'll be gone.

Jamie:

Dear

Jamie:

John, I

Jamie:

remember the theme song for it.

Katie:

Yeah,

Jamie:

if I ever

Jamie:

watched a lot

Jamie:

of it, but I remember

Jamie:

the theme song for it.

Katie:

Yeah, I've actually

Katie:

seen the opening, like it.

Katie:

must come on in syndication after something else that I watch.

Katie:

But it's a sitcom set in New York where Judd Hirsch stars as John Lacey, a

Katie:

teacher at a prep school in Manhattan.

Katie:

And after 10 years of marriage, one day he returns home and finds

Katie:

a dear John letter, his wife Wendy, is leaving him for his best friend.

Katie:

So

Katie:

that's the premise of the

Katie:

show.

Katie:

But yeah, I, it doesn't look good to me.

Katie:

So this is 88 89, Seinfeld premieres in 89.

Katie:

Did you guys recall it being that far back, like even in the eighties?

Katie:

I don't.

s Uncensored:

Didn't friends also premiere that same year?

s Uncensored:

Was it like, because I know, I remember 'cause they were both on the same night,

s Uncensored:

like friends was earlier and then

s Uncensored:

Seinfeld was

s Uncensored:

after.

s Uncensored:

Yeah, the Thursday

s Uncensored:

night lineup.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

Friends I think started in

Katie:

94.

Katie:

So it was a few years later,

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: for a while then.

Jamie:

Well, Seinfeld was

Jamie:

so long lived and it was such a, it was on for a long time and it's such, it

Jamie:

is associated with the nineties so much that it's, it, you come, when you think

Jamie:

89, it's like, oh

Jamie:

wait,

Jamie:

go.

Jamie:

Went back that far.

Jamie:

Wow.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

it did.

Katie:

I mean, and if you watch those early seasons, like the hair, like Elaine's

Katie:

hair and some of the clothes, they're Very

Katie:

So that tracks a little bit.

Katie:

Also, the Simpsons premiered 89.

Jamie:

Huge.

Katie:

Into The Simpsons, but yeah,

Katie:

it's huge.

Katie:

And then Twin Peaks, Baywatch and American Gladiators.

Katie:

Do you guys remember

Katie:

American

Katie:

Gladiators?

Jamie:

I totally remember, man.

Jamie:

That is awesome.

Jamie:

I loved it.

Jamie:

Dude.

Jamie:

That was so cool.

Katie:

I feel like I saw, are they coming back?

Katie:

Are they doing like a remake

Katie:

or a

Jamie:

they had done a remake, I think, I think.

Jamie:

But what they, Netflix has a very recent, I haven't seen it yet, but

Jamie:

a very recent, uh, documentary that

Jamie:

they

Katie:

That's what I'm

Jamie:

released

Jamie:

and, and I wanna watch it.

Jamie:

I haven't yet, but I guess it gets shady.

Jamie:

Like American Gladiators got pretty shady behind the scenes, right.

Jamie:

A lot of shady stuff going on.

Jamie:

So I'm, I'm interested to see, I'm interested to see what, um, what

Jamie:

kind of shady action was going on.

Jamie:

'cause I love that show.

Jamie:

It's kind of athletic average Joe's against these like giant

Jamie:

people who were trying to like, stop 'em from and, and all the

Jamie:

obstacles, all that

Jamie:

stuff.

Jamie:

It was

Jamie:

so cool.

Katie:

And they had names like Nitro and Blade or

Katie:

something

Katie:

like that?

Katie:

Yeah.

Jamie:

,like he, he-man type stuff like.

Katie:

Yep.

Katie:

was on like after school or something.

Jamie:

When it was on,

Jamie:

but I remember the theme song for that too.

Jamie:

Dun,

Jamie:

remember that.

Jamie:

And then the action

Jamie:

guitar.

Katie:

good memory.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: He Jamie's, uh, got a, got

Katie:

a brain for theme songs for

Katie:

shows from the

Katie:

eighties.

Katie:

Jamie:

For

Jamie:

It's not a

Jamie:

joke.

so therefore we have podcasts about, it,

Jamie:

Yep.

Jamie:

Gotta cure it somehow.

s Uncensored:

I I did watch Twin Peaks outta those though.

s Uncensored:

I was one of those people that was really into it and like, it was huge.

s Uncensored:

The thing, they had the game, I think McDonald's or something

s Uncensored:

had like a game associated to it.

s Uncensored:

Maybe, maybe not McDonald's, it might've been something else.

s Uncensored:

And everybody's trying to guess who killed her and stuff.

s Uncensored:

And being from Seattle, or actually at the time I was living in Spokane,

s Uncensored:

um, but I mean, it was filmed in Washington State, so we've got that,

Jamie:

Katie:

I loved Smurfs

Katie:

too.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Was good.

Katie:

it's like now when you watch Smurfs, you think about how inappropriate it's

Katie:

that you've got this entire village of boy Smurfs and the one girl Smurf

Jamie:

What's up

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: they're all

Jamie:

like fawning over

Jamie:

and stuff.

Jamie:

And,

Katie:

I think I read something about why

Katie:

that was and I, of course, my

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Garel, I could answer this.

Katie:

Garel created her,

Katie:

so he actually,

Katie:

I watched the

Katie:

Smurfs

Katie:

yes.

Katie:

Thank you.

Katie:

This sounds very,

Katie:

this sounds familiar.

Jamie:

know what's up,

s Uncensored:

So, uh, Garel actually created her and she was

s Uncensored:

initially an evil smurf to infiltrate the Smurfs, and she actually had black hair,

s Uncensored:

but then when they turned her into a good smurf, that's when her hair turned blonde.

s Uncensored:

So the lesson we've learned is girls with black hair are evil, and

s Uncensored:

girls with blonde hair are good.

s Uncensored:

That's what the

s Uncensored:

Smurfs

s Uncensored:

taught us.

Katie:

and Yep.

Katie:

That tracks that very much.

Katie:

Yep.

Katie:

That tracks.

Katie:

Oh my God.

Katie:

That's awesome.

Katie:

Thank you for that.

Katie:

I had forgotten it, but Good thing you have a better memory than me.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: only about cartoons.

Katie:

I couldn't tell you what

Katie:

happened last week.

Katie:

Oh my God, it's bad.

I'm going to move on to music and get into the Top 10 Billboards because roadhouse

Katie:

is such a big movie that I wanna leave plenty of time for us to chat about it.

Katie:

The Top 10 Billboards from may 19th, 1989.

The number one song is Forever Your Girl by Paula Abdul.

Katie:

visualize the song.

Jamie:

Jamie:

the cassette.

Katie:

I had the CD

s Uncensored:

Hmm.

Katie:

later, but yeah.

Katie:

And then Beaches must have been huge because The Wind Beneath My Wings

Katie:

by Bette Midler was number seven.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Talk about a song that's been played

Katie:

to death.

Jamie:

Dude.

Katie:

it really has.

Jamie:

So when you're in middle, when you're in school, in, when this song

Jamie:

came out, I don't know about the rest of the world, but my school, the teachers

Jamie:

were playing it all the time and they played it in like before the assemblies.

Jamie:

And you come into class and they'd sit, they'd be playing it and it's like, why

Jamie:

are you playing this song all the time?

Jamie:

What's, what's a matter with you?

Jamie:

I don't know what it was about

Jamie:

my school, but they

Jamie:

were just playing the damn song all the

Jamie:

time, man.

Jamie:

That's why I got, I got P S D T T D about that song for reels,

s Uncensored:

you are like, play some Def Leppard teacher.

Jamie:

I don't know why they were playing it all the time in my school.

Jamie:

It was terrible.

Jamie:

It was torture.

Katie:

I mean, it is, it is a really good song, but it is one

Katie:

of those that gets old real fast.

Katie:

The number eight song was after All by Cher and Peter Sitter.

Katie:

I think that was also for a movie that I can't think of.

Katie:

Bobby Brown's.

Katie:

Every little step is number nine.

Katie:

Bobby Brown was hot at

Katie:

this time.

Jamie:

Katie:

Oh, that's awesome.

Katie:

I need, I think I need a picture of like 10 year old Jamie.

Jamie:

Katie:

Then the Number 10 song is one of my all time favorites, like A Prayer

Katie:

by Madonna.

Katie:

Were you guys into

Katie:

Madonna or

Jamie:

Yeah.

Jamie:

We did a whole

s Uncensored:

dude.

Jamie:

on Madonna in 1985, so,

s Uncensored:

Mm-hmm.

Jamie:

yeah, that's a great song.

Jamie:

That's a great video too.

Jamie:

And it caused a lot of controversy

Jamie:

in 1989.

Jamie:

Remember

Jamie:

that?

Jamie:

My grandma was like, Madonna's the devil.

Jamie:

She's

Jamie:

from Satan.

Jamie:

Because she had this kind

Jamie:

of like religious

Katie:

The video.

Jamie:

video.

Jamie:

It was really big at

Jamie:

the time, like controversial, but it was a pretty

Jamie:

cool video.

Katie:

It was great.

Katie:

I did a kind of a combo episode of, in 1981 when M T V was born,

Katie:

the Fox and the Hound with our

Katie:

every man Kurt Russell Voicing Copper.

Katie:

So I did an episode on that and M T V and that was one of the things that we

Katie:

talked about when we were covering M T V because this is one of the top videos

Katie:

of all time and yeah, big controversy

Jamie:

But that's how Madonna

Jamie:

was.

Jamie:

She was pretty controversial.

Jamie:

She pushed the boundaries of like, Hey, what do you, but you know, it's she,

Jamie:

she was always pushing those boundaries.

Jamie:

But that's kind of like what artists do,

Jamie:

right?

Jamie:

They kind of push

Jamie:

those boundaries a little bit.

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Good ones.

Jamie:

Yeah, good ones.

Jamie:

If it's, if they're good artists, people either love them or

Jamie:

hate them, and that's how you

Jamie:

know they're good.

Katie:

that's a good point.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: are just kind of a bit ambivalent,

Katie:

it's just kinda like me,

Katie:

maybe they're not that great.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Mediocre.

Katie:

Nobody wants that.

Katie:

Before we get into the movie, there's some news and events from May of 1989.

s Uncensored:

Mm-hmm.

Katie:

Do you guys remember hearing about in Tiananmen Square

Katie:

China, the student hunger strike?

Katie:

It began, I vaguely re recall this being in the news and then do the right thing.

Katie:

The movie directed by Spike Lee, which was a huge movie premiered at the Cannes

Katie:

Film Festival, and then some other big movies that premiered in May of 89.

Katie:

We have Field of Dreams you probably wouldn't have guessed.

Katie:

And then one that you might guess given its, resurgence in popularity, may of 89.

s Uncensored:

Hmm.

Jamie:

Indiana Jones

Jamie:

and

Jamie:

the uh, uh,

Jamie:

last

Jamie:

Crusade

Katie:

Very good.

Katie:

Jamie Fenderson.

Jamie:

Well, that's back when Indiana

Jamie:

Jones movies were,

Jamie:

were new and good.

Katie:

Yeah, that was the last of the trilogy,

Katie:

right?

Katie:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

They should have ended it there.

s Uncensored:

It would've been a perfect ending riding off into the

s Uncensored:

sunset, and they just couldn't

Jamie:

Yeah, and it had Sean Connery as, as Indiana Jones's dad.

Jamie:

So you got Sean Connery and Harrison Ford, and I'm like, what

Jamie:

together?

Katie:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

Classic

Katie:

Indiana Jones then.

Katie:

I'm getting my Russian facts mixed up, but Mikhail Gorbachev was

Katie:

elected the executive president in the Soviet Union in May of 89.

Katie:

I think I'm confused by that because he's, he was in power before then.

Katie:

Is there a difference between the executive president and like

Katie:

their prime minister or something?

Katie:

Do you guys know?

Katie:

I

Katie:

should have been more prepared for

Katie:

this.

s Uncensored:

they do have a Prime Minister, or they did

s Uncensored:

have a prime minister and a president.

s Uncensored:

Uh, I don't think they do anymore.

s Uncensored:

I think Putin's kind of gotten rid of that, uh, because Putin was originally

s Uncensored:

elected to replace Gorbachev, who then, uh, so they kind of have this

s Uncensored:

weird power structure where the president was kind of supposed to be

s Uncensored:

more of like a, a ceremonial position and then the PM did the actual work.

Jamie:

Yeah, and, and there

Jamie:

was a difference too between, so each of the Soviet Republics kind

Jamie:

of had a president, but then you had the overall executive president of

Jamie:

the Soviet Union.

Jamie:

So that's probably what it is, was he was the president of the entire Soviet Union.

Jamie:

What we would know later wouldn't last very long

Jamie:

because after its disillusion in 91 he became president of Russia, but they had

Jamie:

a kind of an overall Soviet president of

Jamie:

the Soviet Union.

Jamie:

So I think that's

Jamie:

probably what it is.

Katie:

That's maybe why I'm confused.

Katie:

'cause we also poke fun.

Katie:

I do a rocky show and we poke fun at the, at Rocky four, the person who's supposed

Katie:

to be Gorbachev and how Rocky ended the

Katie:

Cold World.

Jamie:

Yeah, he into the

Jamie:

Cold War and he and

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: to Rocky.

Jamie:

The Cold

Jamie:

everybody's clapping like,

Jamie:

yeah,

Jamie:

That would

Katie:

that was in

Katie:

85.

Katie:

So that's why I think I'm like, wait, this is 89.

Katie:

I'm confused.

Katie:

Real, real life versus Rocky Life, I think.

Katie:

Maybe.

Jamie:

Yeah,

Jamie:

there's a

Jamie:

slight

Jamie:

difference.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

And then Anna Downer.

Katie:

Uh, Gilda Radner died of ovarian cancer at the age of 42.

Jamie:

Mm,

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Oh, was it that long ago?

Katie:

yeah.

Katie:

In 89.

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

s Uncensored:

Wow.

I might be wrong on

Katie:

I guess I always thought he had, he and, what's her name had been married

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: think of,

Katie:

yeah.

Katie:

Maybe I'm wrong.

Katie:

Then.

Katie:

Maybe, maybe he, Rita Wilson.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Maybe.

Katie:

They must not have been my brain is

Katie:

scrambled.

Katie:

Feel free to ignore that audience.

Katie:

no, I mean, I like, I like speculating.

Jamie:

disinformation,

Katie:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

I'm

Jamie:

Fake news,

Jamie:

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

Jamie:

Yeah.

Jamie:

Now that rumor's gonna get out and Tom Hanks is gonna be like, why does

Jamie:

everybody think I was married to Gilda

Jamie:

Ratner?

Katie:

It's, yeah.

Katie:

It's all because of this one little segment on this

Katie:

little, little podcast called

Katie:

Premaid.

Katie:

Katie:

how

s Uncensored:

Mm-hmm.

s Uncensored:

,,that's

s Uncensored:

how it starts.

Katie:

okay, so you guys are aware that my season one of Retro Made is.

Katie:

The theme is our ultimate everyman, Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze.

Katie:

an actress.

Katie:

Katie:

s Uncensored:

She's married

s Uncensored:

s Uncensored:

or whatever.

Katie:

She

Jamie:

Not after she meets you,

Jamie:

bro.

Katie:

or,

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

or maybe they got divorced.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

And then see.

s Uncensored:

Oh, perfect.

s Uncensored:

So I just need to bump into her and Kurt Russell can be my dad

s Uncensored:

s Uncensored:

be wonderful.

Jamie:

Yeah,

Katie:

your dad know about this

s Uncensored:

Oh,

s Uncensored:

I don't care what he thinks.

s Uncensored:

s Uncensored:

He can't be more badass than that.

s Uncensored:

And just all of the

Jamie:

Big trouble in little China.

Jamie:

I loved him

Jamie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: in little

Jamie:

And Tombstone,

Jamie:

oh,

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

Jamie:

and then, and then Patrick Swayze had some in some cool roles.

Jamie:

I remember the Red Dawn was kind of interesting.

Jamie:

But then, uh, dirty dancing.

Jamie:

What a strange movie.

Katie:

Jamie, uh, you said something about Patrick Sweet.

Katie:

are you, are you, I might have to get in a fight a little bit

Katie:

because did you say Dirty Dancing

Katie:

was a

:

I think it's

Katie:

like the

:

I I, so I agree with you.

:

I think it's the best movie ever, but it, it's kind of a weird movie, right?

:

That 'cause it was huge and most of the movies that were huge in the eighties or

:

maybe action movies or whatnot, and this was a weird movie because it's about.

:

Kind of dancing people dancing in, in the sick.

:

It, it's a weird, it is kind of a weird movie, but it it is an awesome

:

movie and I think it's just a little different from what you'd think

:

is a huge movie in the eighties.

:

I don't think there's a movie like it in the eighties that

:

became so big.

:

Um,

Katie:

Dance was big.

Katie:

though.

Katie:

There was like flash dance

Katie:

and footloose, but

Katie:

dirty dancing was epically

:

It was a huge movie.

:

Um, and it, and I, I just think it's a little, maybe it's because 1989 or

:

whenever it came out, the eighties, Jamie's like, and I, and I liked it

:

even as a kid, but I'm like, this is, and, but I, I knew how huge it was.

:

I'm like, this is so weird that this movie is so big.

:

Um, but now that I'm older, I'm like, yeah, it's, there's a good

:

reason.

:

That movie

:

was so big.

Katie:

Give it a rewatch.

Katie:

You know, it's interesting because you guys are men, Obviously

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Obviously

Katie:

I mean,

Katie:

um, The, I had women guests

Katie:

to cover dirty Dancing with me.

Katie:

Everyone check out the Dirty Dancing episode.

Katie:

It's really fun.

Katie:

the time that we grew up in, I think I've heard from men your age that

Katie:

you were like, oh, I was into like, action and man, you know, manly stuff.

Katie:

And, and this movie was seen as like, not

Katie:

manly, but then if you really watch it, it's super,

:

it's, Manly dude, Patrick Swayze's lifting Jennifer

:

up and, and it's like, and I never felt this way before, and he's like,

:

whoa,

:

having the time of my life, right?

:

It's like, yeah, it is pretty

:

manly actually.

:

If you

:

watch dirty dancing,

Katie:

He's very

:

He's he and he's man, and

:

he's like, he's like, cool Manly.

:

He's, he's the kind of man I'd want to be now.

:

Like, I can dance and

:

I'm, yeah, totally

:

give it

Katie:

yeah,

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: In shape,

Katie:

man, on every man, like, yeah.

Katie:

Milo, I've heard that.

Katie:

Kurt Russell, like people wanting him to be their dad.

Katie:

I've kind of heard that from other guys your age too.

Katie:

Like he just has that again, it's that every man quality,

Katie:

like he's not a superhero.

Katie:

And same with Patrick Swayze.

Katie:

Like he's not, he's very fit.

Katie:

I mean, he looks good, but it's like a normal, like he's not like a bodybuilder.

Katie:

He's like a

Katie:

regular framed person.

:

Yeah.

:

I, I think that's what made both of them

:

accessible.

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

:

not like, like if you, if you walk into a room, into a bar

:

and you see Arnold and Schwarzenegger and, and, and Sylvester Stallone

:

sitting there, you're like, whoa, damn.

:

And you're kind of intimidated.

:

But if you see, if you see Kurt and Patrick there, you're like, that's

:

some good looking guys right there.

:

And maybe I'm gonna go have a beer with them because they're accessible.

:

Right.

:

Totally.

Katie:

Great point.

Katie:

That's a good way of putting it.

Katie:

I'd like to have a beer with them as

:

Yeah, well,

:

Kurt's still around.

:

Maybe we can, maybe he'll listen to this and he'll be like, totally come down to

:

Issa Quo Washington and we can all just meet here and have a beer at the dive bar

:

and just talk

:

about Patrick.

:

That'll

:

be awesome.

Katie:

Well, you guys have to come pick me up in the helicopter

Katie:

or his private, his plane.

Katie:

'cause he is a

Katie:

pilot.

Katie:

You guys will just have to stop here

:

be, we'll, we'll hook it up

Katie:

a little circuit.

Katie:

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

Katie:

Kurt.

Katie:

Kurt, just come pick us up.

Katie:

We'll all

:

you're listening.

:

We know you're listening.

:

Just bring Goldie along.

:

We'll

:

have a great

:

time.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: And Kate,

:

don't forget

:

Kate

Katie:

My list's very intent on that.

Katie:

this is the, the real question.

Katie:

Do you think they look alike

Katie:

at all?

s Uncensored:

Yeah,

s Uncensored:

you mean Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn

s Uncensored:

and

Katie:

No.

Katie:

No.

Katie:

No.

Katie:

Patrick Swayze and

Katie:

Kurt

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Russell?

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

s Uncensored:

Uh,

:

Here's the thing, like

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: think so.

:

I think if you frame their face faces in the mullets,

:

like if the mullets kind of do it right, they, maybe they have the same

:

body type like we were talking about.

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

:

I think they kind of look the mullet thing going

:

on, like the tango and cache mullet and the, and the roadhouse mullet.

Katie:

Yep.

:

of look alike.

:

They have the same body type and they have the same kind of

:

handsome, but friendly, accessible

:

look.

:

You know, like, I like, they're not intimidating.

:

They're just kind of good looking guys and you just, they, but they

:

have that kind of accessible, every

:

man look to 'em.

:

I think they

:

kind of look alike.

:

They have the same

Katie:

Jamie wins the prize

:

type

:

of guy I guess.

Katie:

They do.

Katie:

I'm glad to hear you say that because I ask most of my guests that.

Katie:

And most of my guests have been men and men.

Katie:

It's harder for men to see it, I think.

Katie:

But women see it.

Katie:

They're both, every men, they're both good looking.

Katie:

They have a similar body type.

Katie:

The hair, they have a similar coloring.

Katie:

They're bone structure.

Katie:

They're both really good looking.

Katie:

I think they look a ton alike.

Katie:

So I ask everyone this, some, Jamie, I'm glad to hear that you, uh,

Katie:

feel similarly, Milo, get with the

Katie:

program.

Katie:

I don't

Katie:

know.

s Uncensored:

Sorry,

:

I feel it.

:

I feel that, vibe.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Maybe just 'cause I haven't seen

:

them side by side at the right age.

:

They should have done a movie together.

:

They should have done Tango and Cash.

:

I'm sorry, Stallone.

:

They should have got rid of Stallone and they should have put,

:

That would've been awesome, dude,

:

Patrick,

:

and yeah,

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: with Kurt

:

Russell.

:

been awesome.

Katie:

I think they just needed a third one.

Katie:

'cause I love Stallone.

Katie:

He's like one of my favorite all time of all time.

Katie:

But interestingly, so the, because they're very similar, Patrick

Katie:

Swayze actually turned down the role

Katie:

of Gabe Cash in Tango and

:

What.

Katie:

Did you guys know that?

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

So that's why Kurt Russell Got it.

Katie:

I feel like they go up for this for similar parts.

:

they probably, I would think that they do.

:

'cause think about this, like I think Patrick Swayze could be the, the Olympic

:

cocky coach guy.

:

He could do it.

:

He could pull that off.

:

He could play the, if you, if you look at any role that Kurt and Patrick

:

play and you switched 'em, you can see them in each other's roles.

:

I can, I can see it

:

in my head, man.

:

Totally.

Katie:

And you guys will have to look them up side by side.

Katie:

Actually, my thumbnail on YouTube for my season one trailer is a side

Katie:

by side of them.

Katie:

So you guys will have to, they they

:

it's in my head or I don't even need to look.

:

They're in my head right now.

:

I can see them clear

:

as crystal

:

together.

Katie:

Clear as crystal.

Katie:

Okay.

Katie:

Everyone is probably like, Katie, move the F on from this.

Katie:

Like get off.

Katie:

So we will move on.

Katie:

Shall we get into the movie that is

:

Yeah.

:

Roadhouse.

Katie:

It's rated R and it it is definitely rated R I just re-watched it

Katie:

yesterday I think so I'm assuming you guys re-watched it somewhat recently?

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I re-watched it yesterday as well.

Katie:

I, I, I,

Katie:

talked my wife into watching it with me 'cause she'd never seen that either.

Katie:

She doesn't watch a lot.

Katie:

She's terrible viewing and, uh, she does not like this

Katie:

movie.

Katie:

well if, if it's your

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: why I am so interested in Kate Hudson

Katie:

right now.

Katie:

kick kicker to the curb, is that, yeah, I.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: it's our own fault,

Katie:

I see, I see.

Katie:

It is like this is a movie that you, I feel like would be really difficult to

Katie:

watch for the first time now in 2023,

Katie:

you know?

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: very dated there.

Katie:

It is quite dated with the hairstyles and the,

:

the whole, the whole, the whole, premise

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: though I love the

:

a little , a little

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I mean there's really not

:

much of a plot to this if you think about it.

Katie:

Well, roadhouses and notoriously known to be kind of

Katie:

like a so bad that it's good movie.

Katie:

I have some thoughts on that that I'll get into in a, in a minute.

Katie:

'cause I rewatching it yesterday.

Katie:

I have kind of a interesting new take on it, but the I M D B rating was

Katie:

a 6.7 out of 10, which, For a movie that's notoriously supposed to be bad.

Katie:

That's a pretty good I M

Katie:

D B rating.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Yes, it was directed by Rowdy Harrington, which is an awesome name.

Katie:

He also directed the Stickup, a Murder of Crows and a striking Distance.

Katie:

And it was a Joel Silver film.

Katie:

So Silver Pictures here, the writers are our Lance Hill and he also

Katie:

sometimes goes by David Lee Henry, uh, he wrote out for Justice as well.

Katie:

And then Hillary Hankin, who's known for writing Wag the Dog.

Katie:

So those are the writers here.

Katie:

The cast of characters is quite great.

Katie:

I think.

s Uncensored:

She

s Uncensored:

might've retired.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

but apparently she, turned down the role, in basic

Katie:

instinct that Sharon Stone took

Katie:

on.

Katie:

Kelly

Lynch.

Sam Elliot

I literally think every mom, I mean, he's, he's one of those like, uh, silver

Katie:

foxes that is just, he's always been,

Katie:

and he wasn't even, I think he was like mid forties.

Katie:

:

Yeah.

:

Katie:

or whatever in the movie, but when we're first introduced to him,

:

I.

Katie:

In the movie, it's just this shot of his glorious long,

Katie:

curly gray locks.

Katie:

It's, it's

:

And he is all just kind of like casual, bouncer,

:

trucker, biker looking guy.

:

And he, he's totally trying to like e even trying to like, kind of like

:

playfully steal Patrick's girl.

:

She's trying, he's trying, trying to get Kelly

:

Lynch,

:

you know, and, and, and Patrick's

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: like charming to her.

:

knows he can't do anything about it.

:

About it.

:

'cause it's totally eighties.

:

Sam Elliott, he's like, I gotta

:

accept whatever he does.

:

Yeah.

Katie:

Re-watching that scene.

Katie:

That's actually some, something I took note of, because I think a lot

Katie:

of people make fun of that scene.

Katie:

Sam Elliott's, like legit trying to get his girl, but he's not really, it's just

Katie:

like, that's his, the kind of guy he, I don't know, he, he plays it like sly

Katie:

and sexy and cool, but if anybody else were to drop their pants and show her

Katie:

the scar and say these like kind of.

Katie:

Like tr like obviously she's not gonna like go along with Sam Elliot because

Katie:

she's super into Patrick Spacey, but the way he's dancing with her and

Katie:

saying, oh, I wanna keep you for myself.

Katie:

If it was anybody other than

Katie:

Sam Elliot, I think it would come

:

It'd be super creepy, but 80 Sam Elliott's doing it.

:

And, and, and also he's asserting like, Hey, remember Dalton,

:

I'm your mentor.

:

Like, remember who the best

Katie:

yeah,

:

is, right?

:

Who's your daddy?

:

Just, just letting you know I could steal your girl if I wanted to.

:

I'm just

:

showing you that.

:

And

:

Dalton's like, yeah, I

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: He is like, I'm Sam Elliott.

:

I don't need to whip it out and piss all over the place to claim anything here.

Katie:

Good

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: know it's true.

Katie:

You know, he also said he almost didn't take this role because

Katie:

he thought it was far too similar

Katie:

to his character in Mask,

:

Yeah, kind of the biker dude.

Katie:

mm-hmm.

:

Yeah, totally.

s Uncensored:

Yeah,

:

I.

Katie:

Glad he

Katie:

took it.

Katie:

And then Ben, Ben Gera plays, uh, Brad Wesley, our bad guy in this.

Katie:

You all probably know who he is, even though you, I can't really like

Katie:

name other characters, but he's had a really long career as a character

Katie:

actor, and apparently he played, Al Capone in the 1975 version of Capone.

Katie:

He was also an Anatomy of a Murder and the Big Lebowski, I can't

Katie:

picture who he was in that, but

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I don't remember either.

Katie:

then we have Marshall r Teague as Jimmy, he's kind of

Katie:

the, the main like, uh, attack

Katie:

dog for Ben Gera.

:

He's like the foil for Dalton.

:

Right?

:

Like he's, he's similar in skill.

:

He knows martial arts and all that, right?

:

Yeah.

:

Yeah, totally.

Katie:

And he, was a professional martial artist and had been

Katie:

doing martial arts since he was a kid, apparently in real life.

Katie:

And then we have Julie Michaels as Denise.

Katie:

Everyone can remember.

Katie:

She's the blonde bimbo type.

Katie:

Um,

:

For her though too.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: What, and she played a Bon

:

bimbo.

:

Like you think, oh what a bimbo or whatever.

:

But she's also abused so you feel sorry for her 'cause she's like

:

getting beat up and stuff.

Katie:

She, comes on to Dalton and gets beat up for it.

Katie:

'cause she's supposed to be, uh, Wesley's girl.

Katie:

But then it doesn't stop her from like, trying keep, she

Katie:

cannot get enough of doll.

Katie:

She wants him bad and it is killing her that he doesn't want

Katie:

her back.

Katie:

It hasn't come out yet that I just recently recorded the point

Katie:

Katie:

Do you guys remember the scene where they, raided the meth head house.

Katie:

The F B I raids the house.

Katie:

Katie:

There's a scene where there's a naked chick that kind of tries to fight.

Katie:

Keanu

Katie:

Reeves.

Katie:

It's her.

Katie:

That's, that's her, that's, uh,

:

Oh

:

wow.

Katie:

in that movie.

:

So she typically plays kind of the bimbo esque, like,

:

I'm gonna fight you, but I love

:

you.

:

Kind of, kind of

:

kind of roll.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

She's not

Katie:

afraid to show her naked self.

:

got nothing to be ashamed of, as far as

:

I'm concerned,

Katie:

she doesn't, no, she doesn't, but she did go on to

Katie:

be a stunt woman and a stunt

:

wow.

Katie:

also.

Katie:

So yeah.

Katie:

Then we have Red West as Red Webster, and I think I read something about this guy.

Katie:

He's, he's been in several movies and his name is always Red and he actually used

Katie:

to be, or there was like a Memphis Mafiaa.

Katie:

Have you guys heard of this?

Katie:

Apparently he was like a

Katie:

part of the

Mem Elvis's.

Katie:

crew.

His

Katie:

posse?

Katie:

Which is super cool.

Katie:

I mean, I don't condone violence by any means, but I, I like

Katie:

Mafiaa stuff then Sunshine

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: they were too violent or anything.

Katie:

I think they were basically just kind of the, the hangers on and

Katie:

the guards and stuff like that.

Katie:

I don't think they really did too much, too bad.

Katie:

They probably were like, you know, Elvis was like, give me that girl right there.

Katie:

And, you know, red would probably be like, Hey honey, Elvis uh,

Katie:

wants to hang with you tonight.

Katie:

You

:

Whether you want

:

to or not.

Katie:

I mean, I don't think anybody's arm would need to be twisted

Katie:

too much.

Katie:

Elvis was hot.

s Uncensored:

Mm-hmm.

Katie:

Emmett was

Katie:

played by Sunshine Parker, which the name surprises me only that Sunshine

Katie:

seems like kind of a hippie name that someone our age would have now.

Katie:

But back in the day, he

Katie:

was an old man in this movie and his name was

:

Yeah.

:

It sounds like something like our age, like our hippie parents

:

might've named us, but he

:

wasn't like,

Katie:

The right

:

Interesting.

Katie:

Jeff Healy as Cody.

Katie:

Um, and he was actually, so he was the main singer of the band,

Katie:

uh, and blind in the movie.

Katie:

And he in real life is an actual singer

Katie:

guitar player and is

Katie:

I'm a huge Jeff Healy fan, I should say.

Katie:

late eighties around this time as well.

:

My mom

:

He was kind of, he was kind of big

:

for a,

:

a, a time in the

:

eighties.

:

May not a like a long time, but may, there was a time maybe . and sometime

:

in the eighties where he was just kind of big, and maybe that's why

:

they put him in this movie is like,

:

he's kind of big, but

:

he does bluesy stuff.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah, it was around this time.

:

But he, he's a great blues musician.

:

He, uh, I, I love

:

blues and, and

:

he's, he's really good

That's good to hear.

Katie:

I also like Blues music.

Katie:

So he plays Cody in the movie, who is the singer and guitarist

Katie:

for like the house band that the

:

cage 'cause it's

:

all rowdy and they're

Katie:

Then we have Kevin Teague playing Tillman, the owner of The Double Deuce.

Katie:

And we also get quick little scenes from Keith, David as a bartender

Katie:

and Terry Funk in like as one of the other, he gets fired right away,

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: he was one of the bouncers, right?

Katie:

The bouncer that got fired.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

So that's the cast of characters.

Katie:

And the score was composed by Michael Cayman.

Katie:

Then we talked about the soundtrack by Jeff Healy, who's a Canadian guitarist.

Katie:

Now, did you guys know, okay, so I'm sure you're aware that Patrick Swayze

Katie:

wrote and sang, uh, co-wrote and sang a song for dirty dancing, but did you

Katie:

s Uncensored:

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I did think that when

Katie:

watching the film last night

Katie:

though, that the music throughout was

Katie:

really good and

Katie:

you?

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I don't rem, I didn't remember that

Katie:

from when I watched it initially, you know, years ago, because I've

Katie:

probably watched it a couple times.

Katie:

I, you know, who knows how many times I've watched it.

Katie:

But last night I was like, wow, I forgot how good the

Katie:

music throughout this film is.

:

And Patrick's a good mu, I mean, He's a pretty good musician.

:

Remember he had that kind of one hit wonder.

:

She's like The win.

:

Remember that one?

:

And that was kind of, that was pretty good though, actually.

:

You know, some, some movie stars try to do their thing and it's like, nah.

:

But he was

:

like, well that's pretty good, Patrick.

Katie:

He can do anything he tries.

Katie:

I, and he is a, he's a super multifaceted, talented person.

Katie:

I'll touch on like bits that he has talked about in his book.

Katie:

It's the time of my life.

Katie:

It's right here.

Katie:

If you guys haven't, , read it, I would highly recommend it.

Katie:

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: And he can write, he can sing, he

Katie:

could dance, he could do martial arts.

Katie:

He's studly and

Katie:

he writes

:

He's

:

badass.

Katie:

that, and that's only like five of the 20 things that he, he's

Katie:

super talented and he left us far too

Katie:

soon.

Katie:

I love Patrick Swayze.

Katie:

Yes.

Katie:

Uh, but unfortunately this movie got five razzy nominations.

Katie:

It didn't win them, but it got five razzies.

Katie:

Now, I don't think the Razzies are very fair.

Katie:

It was nominated for worst picture, worst actor for Patrick Swayze.

Katie:

Like what

Katie:

? Jamie Fenderson-1: I saw this

Katie:

sent us your sheet about what the, about the movie.

Katie:

And this is the first time I saw that it was nominated for five Razzie.

Katie:

And then I, all I could think of is there, there's no

Katie:

justice in the world

Katie:

in 1989.

Katie:

'cause

Katie:

that's a bull, that's a bull.

Katie:

worst supporting actor for Ben Gera I thought Ben Gera

Katie:

played a really good, bad guy.

Katie:

Like I thought he was worst director and

Katie:

worst

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

And I will tell I hard disagree on all of, all

Katie:

of those fronts.

:

I agree with your heart.

:

Disagree.

:

'cause that's, that's crap.

:

I don't know what they were smoking in 1989 in the

:

Razzy,

:

whatever castle they're

Katie:

Well, I

:

they were smoking.

Katie:

I

Katie:

have beef with the razzies generally speaking, because they also

Katie:

don't like my Sylvester Stallone.

:

Well, how about we all say between

:

Our two podcast properties that the razzies can, can, can go take

:

a hike because we don't like you.

:

And now that we've said

:

that you're gonna suffer

:

and, and you should.

:

'cause that's Bull Given Roadhouse five razzie nominations is not

:

acceptable in any universe.

:

Man,

:

that's crap.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Well, it didn't

:

I thought just the nomination is all it takes, man.

:

Just,

:

you know what I'm saying?

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: That's why this movie was

:

not a box office success.

:

It's the

Katie:

rothes.

Katie:

But good segue, Milo, because it was made for $17 million and it actually

Katie:

did gross worldwide, $61 million.

Katie:

But that was largely it.

Katie:

It had a huge, like, um,

Katie:

video success

:

V H s.

Katie:

it was,

Katie:

and it like a big cable TV run,

:

Oh yeah, yeah.

:

Yeah.

Katie:

a huge movie kind of later on.

Katie:

I highly recommend everybody go rewatch Roadhouse and watch it very carefully.

Katie:

I'm curious to see what you think, but here's a quick little

Katie:

refresh about what the movie is about when it becomes too violent.

Katie:

At the Double Deuce Roadhouse, the club owner hires Dalton a professional

Katie:

cooler to clean it up, but Dalton's early successes and budding romance

Katie:

with the local doctor and rages Wesley, the town crime boss.

Katie:

When Dalton continues to defy him, the stage is set for a dramatic

Katie:

confrontation that will test Dalton's limits and decide that fate of the town

:

How could you not love that?

:

That sounds awesome.

Katie:

So, overall thoughts, favorite scenes moments?

Katie:

What do, what do you guys think?

s Uncensored:

A couple things that really stood out when

s Uncensored:

I watched it is how much nudity there was.

s Uncensored:

I didn't remember.

s Uncensored:

There's a lot of butt shots

s Uncensored:

in this film,

Katie:

I quite enjoyed the

Katie:

Swayze

Katie:

butt shots myself.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I think it's a lot of fun, honestly.

Katie:

I mean, you just need to accept it for what it is, which is just guy

Katie:

comes in, you know, he is the bouncer at this place, tries to clean it up.

Katie:

You have a few fights, you have some good music, you've got the

Katie:

love interest, you got the bad guy.

Katie:

Like, it's, it's very basic, but that's what makes it a fun

Katie:

film, I think.

:

Yeah, I watched this for the first time, or my, with my

:

son, he watched it for the first time.

:

So it's kind of like red redneck bar mitzvah, right?

:

You, you, you gotta become a real man.

:

Now, and you gotta watch Roadhouse.

:

Otherwise you can't, you're never gonna be a man unless you watch this movie.

:

But the trippy thing is, is there in the first 20 minutes, there are a

:

lot of lessons to learn for a young

Katie:

That's a good

:

And I'm not even joking,

:

because really he's a ch business change management professional, right?

:

That specializes in bar and and restaurant rescue, if you think

:

about it, So like there's a few lessons that I was like pausing.

:

I'm like, Hey, there's some teachable moments here.

:

You need, you learn something from Dalton first, if you remember when.

:

Tillman comes over and he's like, I wanna hire you and Dalton's

:

like 5,000 upfront, 500 a night.

:

You pay medical expenses.

:

And the dude's like, done.

:

And, and I was like, I was like, pause.

:

I'm like, when you're really good at something, you work really hard.

:

You get a good reputa reputation.

:

You name your price,

:

you don't haggle over salary and

:

all that crap, right?

:

He's like,

:

whoa.

Katie:

We do need to,

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: and your son was Like,

Katie:

can we

Katie:

just ple please watch the

Katie:

movie.

Katie:

Dad.

Katie:

it's a good point, but we

Katie:

do need to

Katie:

circle back a little bit on that deal.

Katie:

It's an outrageous deal in my, like who's, is that a, was

Katie:

that like, who can afford that?

Katie:

What dumpy little bar in Podunk was a made uptown, Jasper,

Katie:

Missouri, but

:

It is somewhere in

s Uncensored:

In, In,

s Uncensored:

1989.

Katie:

good

:

Yeah.

:

Which would've been twice as much in today's dollars,

:

like 1200

:

in today's money.

Katie:

it's a lot of money.

:

Yeah.

:

But then the first night he goes there and he's just standing there just

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

:

and my son's like, well, shouldn't he be doing something?

:

He's making a lot of money.

:

And I'm like, pause.

:

Next lesson you observe first.

:

You don't just come in like some of these dorks that Milo and I have worked

:

with, like I'm gonna come in just make things better right away without

:

even knowing what the problem is.

:

You look, he's observing.

:

He's, he's taking inventory, he's taking mental notes about all the

:

problems that are happening, not just interfering the first, the first day,

:

right.

:

That's another

Katie:

It is

:

And then after that, he just, he just goes and just

:

starts firing people, which for a 21st century kid, you're like, well,

:

he has to go on p i p doesn't he?

:

Like, HR needs to be involved.

:

I'm like, Dalton is hr.

:

He is hr.

:

He made himself hr.

:

He's canning all these people because they're doing,

:

they're, they're bad employees.

:

They're doing illegal things.

:

And I wish more companies would be like that.

:

Just all these shit birds in the company just fire 'em.

:

And because it brings everybody else down.

:

You know what I'm saying?

:

And he, and he has the three mantra, never underestimate your

:

opponent, expect it and expected.

:

Take it outside and be nice.

:

Why does he say be nice?

:

He's not, he's not really saying be nice.

:

He's really saying Be professional.

:

It's just a job.

:

Someone calls your mom bad names.

:

You take it outside.

:

You'd be

:

nice Until

:

it's not.

:

You know, there's a lot to learn

:

from

:

this in the first

Katie:

not be nice.

Katie:

I really good points.

Katie:

I think you're right.

Katie:

And I do have a different appreciation for this movie, watching it.

Katie:

You're right.

Katie:

He's just very calm, cool, collected.

Katie:

He's, you know, and all these other guys like the, the typical alpha male lets

Katie:

their temper get in the way and Dalton's like, that's not how things are done.

Katie:

That's not how you win.

Katie:

Also, he says something about, um, Nobody wins a fight.

Katie:

There is no winner in a fight.

Katie:

Like basically the fighting is dumb, you know, like it shouldn't come to that.

Katie:

But yeah, the rules are legit.

Katie:

Good rules for,

:

yeah.

:

totally.

:

yeah.

:

And, and even like the thing where, where he, he, he has this nice

:

car, but he puts it in the barn.

:

He covers it up and he buys a junker, um, which

:

is a

:

Buick

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: That is not a

:

junker.

:

That is a 1960, was it 65?

:

Buick

:

Riviera.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Buick River with the

:

headlights that open and close.

They only did that that year in that, and that is a collectible.

:

And he abused that beautiful car that she

:

get rid of the stupid Mercedes

Well the, the Mercedes,

Katie:

Katie:

Good trivia, tidbit on the Riviera.

Katie:

I didn't even know that that clamshell, um,

Katie:

The headlight

Katie:

clams shot.

Katie:

I didn't even know that was a thing.

Katie:

And, but it was only that year, right?

Katie:

For the Riviera,

s Uncensored:

Yep.

Katie:

His previous junker car in New York before he, uh, before he moves

Katie:

to Jasper, Missouri is also a Riviera.

Katie:

But it was like the year before, the year after

:

Well, Well, it's supposed, it's supposed

:

to be a junker, I guess.

:

But here's the point, is

:

he, he knows that

:

he's gonna change

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: it wasn't a junker.

:

It's a classic

:

supposed to be a junker though because Dalton knows that he's

:

gonna go change things and they're gonna be a whole bunch of people that hate him

:

for it and they're gonna go trash his car.

:

The same in the business world, right?

:

If you go to a tech, big tech company, you start changing things for the better.

:

There's gonna be a big handful of people who don't like change.

:

There's gonna be a big handful of ship birds who don't want to like start working

:

and be better, and they're gonna trash your Buick, and so he's ready for that

:

and he's got a whole bunch of spare tires.

:

Because he knows they're gonna slash his tires.

:

He's got a whole trunk full of them.

:

There's so much to learn from like the first 20 minutes of this movie.

:

I think everybody in

:

business school should

:

go watch this movie

:

right now.

Katie:

Do you know, let me see if I can find it.

Katie:

Jamie.

Katie:

Following the death of Eric Garner in New York.

Katie:

The police department began using a scene, the three rule scene from Roadhouse

Katie:

legitimately as

:

like a real

Katie:

yes.

Katie:

like a

Katie:

real police.

Katie:

department.

Katie:

Used this

:

Oh, wow.

Katie:

mandatory three day retraining course for 22,000 officers.

Katie:

Expected to be nice under pressure.

s Uncensored:

Wow.

s Uncensored:

I think other police

s Uncensored:

precincts need to

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

I

:

Yeah.

:

How, How, about that razzy

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Yeah.

:

How about that

Katie:

No, it's true.

Katie:

It's like, it's, it's really good advice and well, and uh, we learn

Katie:

Dalton's character, so he's not just like a pretty face with muscles.

Katie:

He's a pH, he has a philosophy degree from N Y U.

Katie:

So he brings that, and then he does Tai Chi.

Katie:

He's a very well-rounded human this Dalton.

:

yeah.

:

yeah.

:

He's not just

:

some

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Andy spends a very large

:

portion

:

of

:

the film with his shirt

Katie:

Yes.

Katie:

And I am very thankful

Katie:

for that.

Katie:

Um, I mean, but really,

Katie:

like if you guys, I'm not saying that you don't look like that without your

Katie:

shirt, but like if you look like that, wouldn't you wanna be shirtless for

Katie:

most of the film?

:

Totally.

:

I, I do look like that actually.

:

It's just, uh, it's just covered

:

up

:

in a layer of

:

lard,

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: It's it's, the screen.

:

It's the way the,

:

it's the way the camera, you know,

:

adds

:

If I stop eating

:

McDonald's,

:

I'll look like that.

:

Well, maybe

:

not, but

Katie:

well, so I think

Katie:

Patrick really did wanna do something vastly different from dirty Dancing.

Katie:

Obviously this was like a, a year or two afterwards, and it is a very different

Katie:

movie, but I would argue for the female audience, it's like legit the same, it's

Katie:

like a, a tough guy with a sensitive side

Katie:

that

Katie:

is, we just get to look at

Katie:

the whole movie.

:

But he's also got that, that kind

:

of what gen gentleman warrior thing going on with the I, I can kick ass,

:

but I don't jump to that right away.

:

And I have a philosophy degree and I do Tai Chi, but then I'll

:

like totally kick your ass if you cross the line kind of thing.

:

Totally.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: It is a good point that you make

Katie:

Katie though, because most of these old eighties action flicks,

Katie:

they're really male-centric, right?

Katie:

So you'll see the boobs of the girl and the guy gets the girl and he kicks butt

Katie:

and, but this actually gives you something to enjoy about the male character as well.

Katie:

Like, you know, we also see his butt, so it's fair, uh, he's intelligent instead

Katie:

of just some meathead and, and so they actually do give him a bit more, that

Katie:

makes the movie a bit more appealing

Katie:

to both

Katie:

genders as an audience.

Katie:

That is a good point.

Katie:

Yeah, I did have a question though, because, I really wish there was

Katie:

a prequel, sorry, I'm like off on like four different tangents in my brain.

Katie:

Bear with me.

Katie:

So, apparently, so this movie was actually almost two hours

Katie:

long, but I didn't mind it.

Katie:

I, I, I was fully.

Katie:

Entertained the entire time.

Katie:

But apparently the original cut was well over three hours, so there was a ton of

Katie:

cut scenes that we can talk about later.

Katie:

Like a lot of Sam Elliott scenes, a lot of that Carrie Ann gals scenes were cut.

Katie:

We got a lot more in the original cut, more backstory, , about how Dalton

Katie:

and Wade Garrett know each other and like where his tattoo comes from, the

Katie:

rosy tattoo that we see at the end.

Katie:

And it got me thinking, I really want that prequel.

Katie:

I really would've loved to get that as a prequel movie, but

Katie:

you know, obviously we didn't

Katie:

get it.

Katie:

But

:

what We could

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Or an extended

:

extended version, like an extended cut that they could

:

come out with like . Extent Roadhouse.

:

The extended cut.

:

Dude, I'd

:

buy it.

:

I'd totally

Katie:

I would

Katie:

too.

:

You hear that?

:

Hollywood Roadhouse

:

extended cut Blu-ray, d v d make it happen.

Katie:

Silver.

Katie:

Yeah, somebody please.

Katie:

I don't know , where I was going with that originally, but it did get

Katie:

me to kind of think about, when he goes to the doctor for the first time

Katie:

and he meets Doc Kelly Lynch, he's carrying around his medical records,

Katie:

which is, he's like, it saves time.

Katie:

And that's how she learns that he has a philosophy degree from what?

Katie:

N Y U.

Katie:

So she has a legit question, you know, how's a guy, like

Katie:

you end up being a bouncer?

Katie:

And he says, some, line like, oh, I guess I'm just lucky, but legit.

Katie:

I wanna know.

Katie:

That's where I was going.

Katie:

Is the prequel or the extended version.

Katie:

How is he a bouncer?

Katie:

Why is he a bouncer?

Katie:

Because he's making a ton of money.

Katie:

And his rent is a hundred dollars.

Katie:

I might add his rent is a hundred dollars a month and he's making

Katie:

500 a night, so I don't think money is, is a problem for him.

Katie:

What do you guys think

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Yeah, Yeah, yeah, It, it would be

Katie:

an interesting story because of course he had to learn how to fight.

Katie:

So did he learn that before becoming, obviously, before becoming a bouncer

Katie:

while he was be, did they do a montage of eighties montage where he learns to fight

Katie:

in the, in the

Katie:

timeframe of a montage,

Katie:

Wade probably,

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Wade Exactly.

Katie:

Teaching

Katie:

him?

Katie:

yeah.

Katie:

Uh, I, I love his, the place he's lived too, because, yeah, it's a hundred a

Katie:

night and it's great in the summer.

Katie:

I was imagining as I was watching them, like I bet you that place sucks in

Katie:

the winter because, I mean, there's no vent, there's no insulation or anything.

Katie:

But in the summer it's cool 'cause you open up the windows, you got the river

:

Well, it sucks because you're right

:

across the river from the main

:

You're right across the river from

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: bad guy.

:

big enemy that

:

like, there's no cops in this

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Spies on you.

:

guy totally runs this town.

:

So that's why it sucks unless you wanna spy on

:

the dude, but I think it's

:

probably the

:

opposite

:

way.

Katie:

It is the opposite

Katie:

It's a sweet loft above

Katie:

a barn, though.

Katie:

I mean,

Katie:

I It is pretty awesome,

Katie:

I

Katie:

thought,

:

very hipster,

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: You could Airbnb that nowadays and

:

probably make way more than a hundred

:

a

:

up there.

:

And

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: a hundred a night

:

being, being

:

that.

:

Yeah.

:

be more than a hundred bucks now.

Katie:

Oh yeah.

Katie:

It, it'd be 500 a night now,

:

He, he'd be breaking even

:

Today's, today's world

Katie:

I just, I remember thinking the loft was super

Katie:

cool and, uh, the love scene.

Katie:

Was a really good love

:

Pretty steamy.

Katie:

did you guys like

Katie:

it or did you think

Katie:

it was cheesy?

Katie:

I

Katie:

legit thought it

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I thought it was

:

pretty steamy.

:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

As a connoisseur of movie sex

s Uncensored:

scenes,

s Uncensored:

I give

s Uncensored:

it a thumbs up.

Katie:

Now, the

Katie:

song playing in the background was our, I love Otis Redding, but it was, um, that

Katie:

Otis Redding, it was the same background music that the, the famous dirty

Katie:

dancing love scene begins with as well.

Katie:

These

Katie:

arms of mine.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I didn't know that.

Katie:

Oh, wow.

:

I'm gonna have to

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I, I was impressed

:

how went .Oh well what was funny about it though is like it was conveniently

:

like he changes to the station, right as the song begins to play, and it's

:

like, wow, that's good movie timing.

Katie:

Yeah.

:

he called the radio station for a request at a certain time.

:

Hey, hey Radio station.

:

Can you play this song at this time?

:

And be like, lemme turn the station here.

:

Oh.

Katie:

I thought it was really good.

Katie:

I think it's good acting.

Katie:

Okay.

Katie:

I'm gonna start now and you guys can poke holes, but listeners, Milo, Jamie,

Katie:

this might be a hot take, but I watched this very carefully yesterday and I

Katie:

actually think it is a legit good movie.

Katie:

Not so bad that it's good.

Katie:

Good, but good.

Katie:

Like I'm being serious.

Katie:

I think the

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I've always thought it was a legit

:

who says that.

:

It's so bad.

:

It's

:

good.

:

It, this isn't like troll two.

:

What are you talking about,

Katie:

Well, so according to the Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's

Katie:

book, Roadhouse is listed as one of the 100 most enjoyable, bad movies

:

I, I don't get that at all.

:

This is just a good movie and I don't know why it's so bad.

:

It's good.

:

This isn't so bad.

:

It's good.

:

It's just good.

:

Now if you kind of think it's weird, it is a little weird.

:

I get it.

:

Like the bouncer and all of us, he, he starts out kind of cleaning

:

up the bar and then all of a sudden he's involved in this.

:

A lot of weirdness.

:

But it's a good movie.

:

Like so bad.

:

It's good is like something like Troll Two or you know, some, some

:

kind of, where they really try to make a good movie, but it's.

:

Freaking terrible, but it's so terrible.

:

It's bad.

:

I think this is just a good movie.

:

I'm with you, Katie.

:

I don't know what people are talking about.

:

And, and, and I'm going against that grain and the Razzy

:

people in your book, whatever.

:

You're, you're wrong.

:

And, and we have a podcast,

:

so we say

:

you're wrong.

:

And it's true.

:

So that's,

Katie:

Yeah, I, I don't know why.

Katie:

I just think

Katie:

like the, the, I don't know, the public or the like pop culture just

Katie:

for whatever reason assigns this movie as like cheesy, bad action.

Katie:

I, but I'm saying I legit yesterday when I re-watched it.

Katie:

I think while being a cooler, I don't know if that was actually

Katie:

a thing back in the day.

Katie:

Like, I don't know if, do you

:

I, I, I think this movie probably

:

Makes it a bigger thing than it is there.

:

There are bouncers, there are bar cleanup people, there are coolers.

:

There're probably secure bar security and uh, there's that today.

:

And did this embellish that and take that role to a whole nother

:

level ?It totally did.

:

It's over the top.

:

Unrealistic.

:

This movie is not meant to be like, oh.

:

That cooler, the bouncer life isn't that way.

:

Or Hey, I became a bouncer 'cause I watched this movie.

:

It is totally not that way.

:

I was expecting to like fight Mafiaa boss, small town mafiaa bosses, what's up?

:

And now I'm just like messing with drunk people every night

:

that that's not what it is.

:

This totally like, takes it to a new level, but it's, it, it's fine.

:

It's

:

fun.

:

It's not bad.

:

It's not

:

bad.

Katie:

isn't

Katie:

bad.

Katie:

I, I, so despite that, like, I actually think the story is pretty

Katie:

good and the way that it, like, well written, like the way that things unfold,

Katie:

there's like little breadcrumbs kind of throughout, uh, it's got really good

Katie:

characters.

Katie:

Solid acting.

Katie:

Again, I, I don't, I didn't see anything wrong with anybody's.

Katie:

I, I wasn't gonna win an Oscar, but it was solid acting, uh, me, super

Katie:

memorable lines and the practical effects.

Katie:

There was a lot of attention to detail, um, like s numerous

Katie:

fights that were all unique.

Katie:

They weren't, it wasn't just the same fight in a new locale, unique fights.

Katie:

And they were all like, well choreographed good

Katie:

good fights,

:

Especially the one with, uh, with between Patrick and um,

:

um, who, who was

:

the main Jimmy.

:

Yeah.

:

And that guy looks like legit, kind of like badass.

:

So he meets this match, right?

:

And they're having this badass fight scene and spoiler alert, he did this

:

before, but he had to do it again.

:

He does the throat thing.

:

Like, oh, I gotta rip out your throat and kill you

:

because you're

:

too,

:

but I always thought it was funny 'cause the doc doc comes and.

:

And, and he, and he's, and he's Patrick's like, oh shit, I did it again.

:

And, and dot coms.

:

And, and, and she's like, oh, dude, you're a murderer.

:

I can't believe you did that.

:

And, and all I'm thinking at the time is, dude, this guy just tried to kill you.

:

He burned down your barn in your house, and he's, he's trying to

:

kill you and he's fighting with you.

:

He's trying to kill you.

:

And finally,

:

you, you take 'em out.

:

Like, I don't see a

:

problem with this

Katie:

I kind of agree.

Katie:

Now, granite,

Katie:

he probably didn't need to rip his

Katie:

throat out, but I agree.

Katie:

It

Katie:

was kind of a self-defense thing, but, there's romance in this movie, lots

Katie:

of pretty people or enough, pretty people for everybody, and I don't know.

Katie:

it's, it was very exciting.

Katie:

It kept my interest.

Katie:

What more do people want?

Katie:

So there's my arguments for why this is a

Katie:

legit good movie.

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

s Uncensored:

100%.

s Uncensored:

I commented on the, on the fight sequences when we were watching it as well, because

s Uncensored:

modern movies with the fight sequences, they're this shaky camera, super close

s Uncensored:

shots, you know, quick cuts constantly.

s Uncensored:

You can't see anything.

s Uncensored:

And this has like, there, you know, there's longer shots and you can actually

s Uncensored:

see, and I think they both got injured in that fight scene that we were just

s Uncensored:

talking about pretty good because they were like that serious about it.

s Uncensored:

And in, in regards to the believability and, uh, way better

s Uncensored:

fight scenes than you'll see in most

s Uncensored:

any modern

s Uncensored:

film.

Katie:

on that, that last fight sequence.

Katie:

And the guy who plays Jimmy, Marshall r Teague.

Katie:

So, I read about this in Patrick's book, but I think it's also

Katie:

pretty well known that Marshall, so he's like a legit bad guy.

Katie:

And Patrick Swayze says as much that, , like he was in

Katie:

Vietnam, he was a Navy Seal.

Katie:

Like he's like a real bad guy.

Katie:

So Patrick Swayze was like, I under, so Marshall Teague is thinking,

Katie:

Patrick Swayze's, just this pretty guy.

Katie:

He had no respect for Patrick but he quickly learned that Patrick

Katie:

was the real deal as well when they started doing their fight sequences.

Katie:

Um, and see, he said, oh, and then they became really good friends because of

Katie:

they gained respect for each other.

Katie:

And that last fight sequence took five days.

Katie:

And the scene, the part where, uh, Jimmy gets a tree log and hits him

Katie:

with it, that actually broke several of Patrick Swayze's ribs and injured his

Katie:

knee because it was a real tree branch.

Katie:

But Teague thought it was a prop log.

:

damn.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

And that they were in the middle, like he didn't, it like knocked the wind out of

Katie:

Patrick too, but they were still filming.

Katie:

And so Patrick like kept in character with broken ribs and everything to continue,

Katie:

um, to, or to complete the scene.

Katie:

And that.

Katie:

That shot where he's shown to be just so exhausted right before he

Katie:

kills him with the throat rip out.

Katie:

That's real.

Katie:

He's like legit, like hurt

Katie:

and exhausted

:

at too.

:

That's dedication to the

:

craft

:

man.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

And he does have a, and I talked about this in the Dirty Dancing, , episode

Katie:

as well, but he got, he really got injured a lot make, 'cause it's

Katie:

like he's doing his own stunts.

Katie:

He has a knee injury from way back in the day that he kept having to get

Katie:

drained during a lot of his movies.

Katie:

I think he's known, known to keep having to get his knee drained, but

Katie:

he kept having to, have procedures on this movie as well with his, his knee.

Katie:

So yeah, it is,

:

Well, and it was worth it because this is a good

:

movie.

:

I don't care what

:

anybody says.

Katie:

I agree.

Katie:

And I was also reading that, um, I guess he's well known.

Katie:

I'm not, I don't really know a lot about martial arts, but there's a guy

Katie:

who's pretty famous in this world.

Katie:

Um, he's a kickboxing champion, Benny Ez.

Katie:

I'm probably pronouncing it wrong.

Katie:

I don't know if you guys have heard of him, but I guess

Katie:

he's famous in that world.

Katie:

But he trained Patrick Swayze for this role, and Patrick was

Katie:

saying that because ki it's very like quick, quick, sharp movements.

Katie:

And Patrick was having a hard time initially like picking that up.

Katie:

And this titas, was like, oh, you're a dancer.

Katie:

You, I get it.

Katie:

He went to get like a boombox and like started like finding music that

Katie:

he could choreograph the moves to.

Katie:

Patrick just needed like a rhythm behind it to learn it, I guess.

Katie:

So that's how he learned it.

Katie:

And then this Titas said that Patrick Swayze, got to be so good

Katie:

that he could have gone on to be a competitive kickboxer, which doesn't

:

Miyagi level stuff right there.

:

That's

:

Mr.

:

Miyagi style

:

right there.

Katie:

He's

Katie:

so cool.

Katie:

I love Patrick Swayze.

:

The only, the only thing

:

I remember from it, when you're a kid in 1989, this is, this

:

is like the coolest movie.

:

It's got, I mean, Dalton's kind of someone you can look up to and he's

:

badass and he can fight there's nudity.

:

Not a lot, not over the top, but there's some, there's some nudity

:

and it's kind of interesting like the whole, this was filmed in California,

:

but it's supposed to take place in kind of this Missouri, Texas, like.

:

And even the doctor, like she's a doctor, but she's still kind of like, yeah, let's

:

go to the Roadhouse and drink some beer.

:

Like everybody's that way, right?

:

So when you're a kid, you're like, oh, I wanna go to this kind of place.

:

Like I'm from Portland, Oregon, but I want to go to this place where have roadhouses

:

and everybody's like all

:

about the blues

:

and drinking beard

:

stuff.

:

This is cool.

:

Even

:

the doctors there,

Katie:

really.

Katie:

I thought, I guess I

Katie:

was sort of like,

Katie:

who's going to this?

Katie:

I mean, maybe

Katie:

once it's cleaned up, but the before shot the just sheer.

Katie:

Damage and destruction of one night at this bar

Katie:

is just, I'm like, it was like a hurricane came through

Katie:

there.

Katie:

They'd have to rebuild every night.

:

Yeah.

:

There's dive

:

bars,

:

but this is like, I like, I

:

like,

:

a good dive.

:

Don't

:

get me

:

wrong, but come

:

on now.

Katie:

I wouldn't wanna be going there.

Katie:

And

Katie:

that's kind of what, uh, Dalton says.

Katie:

He's like people, I can't remember how he says it, but essentially that's his

Katie:

point is that nobody wants to come.

:

People aren't gonna

:

go to a slaughterhouse, right?

:

People want to go have a good time, aren't gonna come to a slaughterhouse,

:

so it's time to take out the trash, you know?

:

Yeah.

:

I love this movie.

Katie:

The final scene, I also very much liked the heads or tails

Katie:

aspect of Wesley is just this evil.

Katie:

Monster.

Katie:

I mean, he, he really is for a number of reasons, but basically

Katie:

giving Dalton the choice between saving his best friend and his girl.

Katie:

And I just thought

:

Yeah.

Katie:

that was

Katie:

a, a really

Katie:

cool way of

Katie:

showing it, that there, it

Katie:

was like a little bit

Katie:

layered.

Katie:

Which did you guys think of the heads or tails bit?

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: I kind, you kind of knew

Katie:

though

Katie:

that he

Katie:

probably wasn't gonna

Katie:

kill the girl.

Katie:

Yeah, because they were apparently

Katie:

married.

Katie:

Was that

Katie:

the, what we

Katie:

were supposed to get

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

That was the backstory that she was with him before, so you kind

s Uncensored:

of figure that wasn't gonna happen.

:

he was kind of getting tired of the whole thing, Dalton, and

:

he was just going to wade as convincing him like, Hey dude, you're a cooler.

:

You're not like . The town savior, right?

:

It's not like you're MacGyver or something you need to bolt out, and so just come

:

with me and let's get outta here, dude.

:

But you know, Dalton's pride, he's got pride, right?

:

But then he finally figures out, yeah, I should probably get outta here.

:

But by that time it's too late.

:

'cause the bad guy's really bad dude.

:

He's, he's obviously, and there's no police, like, not even the

:

FBI is coming to this town.

:

Like it's, it's a

:

fiefdom for this

:

dude, right?

Katie:

yeah.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: if Wesley had only known that Patrick

Katie:

Swayze was getting ready to leave town, if he would've just waited

Katie:

a day, Patrick and, and, uh, Sam Elliott would've left and be fine.

:

Yeah, but then

:

you gave him a,

:

you know, impetus

:

for

:

revenge.

Katie:

You did, you did.

Katie:

However, Sam Elliott was trying to convince, there was a certain point in

Katie:

which where, 'cause Patrick was sort of like, I'll blow outta town and you

Katie:

know, when my job is done, you know, I don't, nothing keeps him there.

Katie:

Spoiler alert, he stays later, but, He sort of took it on as that he

Katie:

now has to be the savior of this town at a certain point because, um,

Katie:

Elliot tries to talk him out of it.

Katie:

When we get that great

Katie:

training sequence where Patrick's in those like sweatpants and no

Katie:

shirt, it's a really good sequence.

:

Yeah, it is

Katie:

But then the heads or tails comes back later.

Katie:

I guess kind of, I liked the through line of it and even the detail.

Katie:

Did you guys catch that The quarter was on the knife tails site

:

Oh Yeah.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: in the In the car?

:

it totally,

s Uncensored:

Yeah,

:

yeah.

Katie:

Yeah,

s Uncensored:

Or no,

s Uncensored:

sorry.

Katie:

appreciated that.

Katie:

It,

Katie:

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

Katie:

it when he pulls it

Katie:

out of the

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: he pulled.

Katie:

Exactly.

Katie:

Okay.

Katie:

Right.

Katie:

Yeah.

:

little things.

:

Like you said, they pay attention to detail

:

in this movie and they

:

give a little

:

clues

:

to what's gonna happen and

:

all this.

:

It's actually pretty

Katie:

It is, It is, Now.

Katie:

I.

Katie:

I.

Katie:

really like, it's a classic final scene, but I think a lot of people

Katie:

too poke fun at the very final scene.

Katie:

Okay, so everybody, it's like the typical like uber dickhead rich guy

Katie:

of the time, like with this trophy room, which, you know, like he, you

Katie:

have to show that you're a real man by killing all of these, endangered

Katie:

animal, murdering all these endangered, but that seems very like, rich guy,

Katie:

1980s, like dickhead move, you know?

Katie:

So it takes place in

Katie:

this trophy room.

Katie:

And then there's this big shootout and the guys who've been kind of that,

Katie:

uh, like Tillman and red and uh, Emmett kind of saved the day and they've been

Katie:

kept down by this guy, this mob guy.

Katie:

And so they're like, it's our town now, don't you forget it?

Katie:

And then nobody saw anything when the police come.

Katie:

I didn't see anything red.

Katie:

Did you see anything?

Katie:

The polar bear with the fat guy.

Katie:

I mean, come on.

Katie:

I think it's classic.

Katie:

I love it.

Katie:

Did you guys think it was cheesy though?

:

It's a little cheesy, but one of the things I

:

like about, it's a strange ending.

:

I, I'll like, I, I can get the critics, I guess maybe 'cause it's a

:

pretty weird ending, but I, I think that's maybe why I like it, because

:

I never expected that ending , you know what I mean?

:

Like,

Katie:

it's,

:

that's not how I thought it

:

would

:

go down

Katie:

it seems so unbelievable, but apparently this was like kind of

Katie:

loosely based on a real story where a local bad guy was killed in plain

Katie:

view and nobody saw anything when the,

:

Oh yeah.

Katie:

that's the Lord.

:

I, I like it because

:

it's unexpected.

:

And, and, and the whole thing is like, it's not about Dalton 'cause the whole

:

movie's about Dalton, but at the end it's about like the towns guys who's

:

been getting screwed all this time and they kind of take the power back

:

and, and the polar bear like, yeah.

:

You, you killed that polar bear.

:

But you know, he got his like revenge in the afterlife.

:

. It's a weird ending.

:

Don't, don't get me wrong, it's strange, but that's probably why I

:

like it, because it didn't have that typical action movie Hollywood ending.

:

It had just kind of this strange ending and that's, that's okay with me.

Katie:

Yeah, I agree.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Then they got

Katie:

to go swim naked in

Katie:

the river.

Katie:

I don't remember that.

Katie:

So most of the times that I've seen this as a kid were probably

Katie:

like the edited version for tv and I feel like when I watched it

Katie:

yesterday I was like, I actually

Katie:

don't remember this final, final scene of them.

Katie:

Yeah, he stays and their naked swimming lovingly together.

:

Probably.

:

'cause you didn't see that standing on

Katie:

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Katie:

I, I think I

:

Yeah,

:

The TV

:

edit

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: edited for children

:

version.

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: We'll show you the violence,

Katie:

but we won't show you the

Katie:

nudity.

Katie:

Oh,

:

Yeah.

:

the throat

Katie:

American Way.

:

out thing.

:

That's fine.

:

But butt shot,

:

that's not

:

gonna happen.

:

Nope.

Katie:

Oh.

Katie:

I was heavy rotation on cable.

Katie:

I feel like I saw this a lot when I was like pretty little.

:

It did get a lot

:

of

:

playtime

:

on cable.

:

Yeah, totally

:

did.

:

It, it was right up there with Beast

:

Master on

:

T B s.

:

Right.

:

just like.

Katie:

dude, that's another one.

Katie:

Now that's actually bad.

Katie:

like.

:

yeah,

:

but it, but it was just on cable, like nonstop.

:

this was kind of not, not as bad, but this was kind of on cable a lot.

:

But this was one of those things where if it came on cable for the third time in a

:

week, you're like, yeah, okay.

:

I'm cool with this.

:

Let's watch it again.

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

s Uncensored:

You still watch it?

Katie:

Were you guys into the Monster

:

Oh, the Monster Truck?

:

yeah.

Katie:

like, apparently it

:

another thing the bad guy did with the . He went, I started

:

wrecking everything

:

with the

:

Monster truck.

:

Monster trucks were, huge

:

back

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Apparently they were, and it

Katie:

was, it had a name, which I wasn't, I don't know.

Katie:

I was just, in my research, the Monster truck used was called the Bigfoot.

Katie:

It was like the seventh one,

:

So Bigfoot was the monster truck.

:

Like if it was almost synonymous like Bigfoot and Monster Truck that it's

:

almost the, almost the same thing.

:

But that was the name that was probably the

:

most famous

:

monster truck.

:

It was

:

the Bigfoot

Katie:

That scene cost a half a million dollars to film because of That That

Katie:

' Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored:

Katie:

everything.

Katie:

And I think they built the truck for the movie like that particular

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: wasn't the actual,

Katie:

yeah.

Katie:

Um, yeah, I, I, I would equate it to wrestling.

Katie:

Hulk Hogan in the eighties was kind of like the, the big one.

Katie:

And in Monster Trucks,

Katie:

the

:

that's right.

:

Uh, that's

:

right.

Katie:

Okay.

Katie:

that does make

Katie:

sense.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: had a cartoon,

Katie:

a

Katie:

Monster trucks cartoon.

Katie:

Of course they did.

Katie:

There was a, literally, they just

Katie:

threw stuff at the wall in the eighties.

:

Robocop.

:

Hey, it's the most

:

violent action movie probably of all time, but eh, it's a cartoon now.

:

Enjoy

:

your cereal,

:

kids

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

We can make money on you some way somehow, and we

:

yeah.

:

Keep consuming little consumers.

:

. They didn't have a Roadhouse cartoon.

:

They didn't have Roadhouse

:

toys because it was a, it was a legit movie, I

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: we were gypped.

:

I think if you didn't have a cartoon or if you didn't

:

have, uh, toys, then you could probably consider yourself a legit movie.

:

I think,

:

you know what

:

I'm saying?

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Now usually there's, people who were originally cast to play someone or

Katie:

people who had auditioned and didn't make it the only one, there was only

Katie:

one that I could find about Roadhouse and it was, um, that Annette Benning

Katie:

originally was cast to play doc

Katie:

instead of

:

that would've been interesting.

s Uncensored:

I

s Uncensored:

can see that.

Katie:

But yeah, I mean, and there's

Katie:

rumors as to why that might be.

Katie:

Some say that she, she and Patrick Swayze just didn't have a lot

Katie:

of chemistry, so they recast her

:

Hmm.

Katie:

Kelly Lynch

:

It's interesting, the whole chemistry thing, like in acting.

:

Because sometimes you can see it on screen.

:

I don't know why or how, but sometimes you can see when things work and when things

:

don't, and it's

:

strange.

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: When you're acting with somebody.

:

I did a play years ago and I had the girl that played my girlfriend.

:

We did not have chemistry.

:

Uh, and you could feel it like, 'cause we had to kiss in the thing

:

and it was just kind of like forced.

:

But if you have chemistry, you feel comfortable being kind of flirty

:

and like you, you're much more

:

relaxed about it.

:

So it.

:

is an

:

interesting thing

:

how

:

that works.

Katie:

that's really interesting.

Katie:

I, I feel like it's something you can't explain.

Katie:

It's just, it's there.

Katie:

It's not, and you can see it When

Katie:

I noticed it, when there's a look that Patrick, the first time they kiss in the

Katie:

Jeep and the way that he looks at her, I'm like, dang, he really wants her.

Katie:

I felt it.

Katie:

Yeah.

:

Well,

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Well, it's Kelly

:

Lynch.

:

Of course he did.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Come on.

Katie:

Mm-hmm.

Katie:

. I don't think I did that

Katie:

right.

Katie:

We should

:

hold on.

:

Let's try another way,

:

another

:

angle.

:

Hold

Katie:

She, with him too, apparently.

Katie:

He, well, 'cause he's, he was super hot at the time, like coming off

Katie:

of dirty dancing, that there was

Katie:

a bunch of like middle-aged women, like mo like at the filming

Katie:

locations, trying to like get their time with Patrick Swayze.

Katie:

So he had to have bodyguards to keep the lady

Katie:

fans

Katie:

at bay,

:

I

:

know how that is.

:

Uh,

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: Jamie's been

Katie:

Now, are you guys gonna be watching the remake That's due to come out

Katie:

sometime this year with Jake Gien Hall.

:

remake.

s Uncensored:

No.

Katie:

Oh, had you not

Katie:

heard

Katie:

that?

:

They're

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: he get like super,

:

didn't he get like super ripped for it as

:

well?

Katie:

Yeah, he's done that before.

Katie:

I don't know if, did you guys see South Paw?

s Uncensored:

The

s Uncensored:

boxing one?

s Uncensored:

Yeah.

Katie:

I do.

Katie:

Like

Katie:

Jake Gyllenhaal, ordinarily I'd be like, do not remake Roadhouse.

Katie:

And they actually were gonna remake it in like 2006 or something with

Katie:

Rhonda Rousey, like a female version.

Katie:

I'm even a woman.

Katie:

And I'm like,

Katie:

nobody wants that.

Katie:

Like,

Katie:

really?

Katie:

But they scrapped that thankfully.

Katie:

But yeah, Connor McGregor is also gonna be in the new one with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: N then Definitely not Connor.

Katie:

Hopefully Connor doesn't listen to this, but Connor McGregor is

Katie:

basically trailer trash

Katie:

that somehow managed to get

Katie:

like in really good shape and win all these lake fights.

Katie:

But as a human being,

Katie:

he is a disgrace.

Katie:

And

Katie:

for that reason,

Katie:

I would not see

Katie:

it.

:

Oh, I don't really know him, but I wouldn't

:

see it

:

because I'm just so

:

tired

:

of remakes and reboots and sequels and remakes.

:

Of the

:

reboots of the

:

sequels.

:

I go, there's a theater not

:

far from my place.

:

You go there

:

and

:

it's like, the posters are like Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park.

:

I'm like, what is this?

:

1995?

:

Why happened?

:

Like, why don't you look?

:

Why don't you make new stuff?

:

I don't wanna see.

:

Look, I love my movies from my era and I love them so much, but

:

you don't have to remake them.

:

If you're making them for me, stop Hollywood.

:

'cause why don't you make something else?

:

Stop rebooting.

:

Stop making sequels.

:

Stop reimagining.

:

Come up with something new.

:

I don't

:

think they, I don't know what a,

:

I'm not gonna

:

see

:

this remake,

Katie:

it's bad right now.

Katie:

We should there.

Katie:

We could

Katie:

probably have like

Katie:

a whole week

Katie:

long series of like Hollywood

:

creative

:

bankruptcy.

:

It's ter, it's, I'm done.

:

I don't, I just watch old stuff

:

nowadays, if you're gonna just have crappy reboots of

:

old stuff,

:

I'll just watch the old stuff.

:

Like I'm, I'm kind of done with Hollywood now.

Katie:

I am with you.

Katie:

So I think they know that a lot of people will watch out

Katie:

of curiosity, and nostalgia.

Katie:

But the only reason that I will watch this is because of Jake Gyllenhal, because

Katie:

I think he'll actually do it justice.

Katie:

I, I do respect him as an actor, but, I can tell you right now, it's not gonna,

Katie:

it's not gonna be anywhere near the

:

No, and I, I like him too.

:

That's, that.

:

He's fine.

:

It's just, I, I'm, I'm so fatigued on

:

reboots and remakes and I don't know if they,

:

Hollywood

:

thinks that I appreciate remaking everything from my .Younger years.

:

I don't, I don't think we do.

Katie:

I guess maybe I'm wrong about the nostalgia because, um, so there are some

Katie:

remakes, I think it's for a new audience.

Katie:

They think, like people who haven't seen the original roadhouse, maybe

Katie:

because there's, um, there are movies that I've seen growing up.

Katie:

I'm trying to think of an example that it was a remake, but I didn't

Katie:

know it was a

:

Oh, maybe it's that way.

:

Maybe where people are like, what Roadhouse

:

was a remake.

:

what?

:

2020.

:

20 three's

:

Roadhouse

:

was a

:

remake.

:

There was a Road

:

Roadhouse in 1989.

:

are we

:

getting that old?

:

I didn't know that.

Katie:

like kids.

Katie:

We, we are unfortunately, like kids these days.

Katie:

Um, I'm a big rocky person obviously.

Katie:

And so the cre like kids these days don't even like

Katie:

watching the Creed movies.

Katie:

They're like, what?

Katie:

Rocky

:

Go

:

Ghostbusters came out in the eighties.

:

What?

:

Indiana Jones was eighties too.

:

what?

Katie:

I'm like, oh my God,

Katie:

Jamie Fenderson-3: Well, I don't think that

Katie:

they're making this for us.

Katie:

But here's the cool thing about

Katie:

movies were

Katie:

Eighties and the nineties, because

Katie:

it was all

Katie:

new.

Katie:

Ghostbusters was new.

Katie:

It wasn't a reboot.

Katie:

It's a good way of

:

Indiana Jones

:

was new.

:

It was all new

:

stuff and, you didn't have a lot of the C G I and what C G I you did have

:

was kind

:

of amazing, and you have all this

:

pride.

:

Everything was amazing.

:

And now it's just kind of like, well, here's a remake and it's all CGI and

:

it's not magic anymore, you know?

:

Back then when you, when you used C G I, you used it sparingly

:

because it was expensive

:

and it wasn't that advanced.

:

So what

:

C G I, you

:

did see was kind of

:

like

:

kind of cool.

:

Right

:

now it's just like the

:

whole movie is C G

:

I think that's the

:

thing about

:

movies

:

today and this, even this movie.

:

Roadhouse.

:

It was magic

:

in its way, right?

:

It's,

:

it's just

:

a fun movie

:

and

:

it's gone, man.

:

I don't know what happened, but I miss those times.

:

So this movie, I.

:

I remember 1989, Katie, I, I'll send you a picture.

:

I have it in my little book here.

:

My brother and I, we were wearing Batman t-shirts,

:

so this was, maybe this was the movie, maybe the last cool movie.

:

I don't know about what other movies came out in May, but

:

Batman had come out in June,

:

and then Batman took over the rest of 1989.

:

There was nothing else in the world, man, except Batman.

Katie:

Agreed.

Katie:

Well, wrapping up Roadhouse,

Katie:

do you guys have any kind of final thoughts or about this movie or 1989?

s Uncensored:

I think you just need to appreciate it for

s Uncensored:

what it is, which is just a fun action flick with . Uh, you know, good story

s Uncensored:

and good chemistry and, and good writing.

:

Sam Elliot is a sexy beast in this

:

movie,

:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: And Sam Elliot is a sexy

:

beast.

:

like Patrick Swayze is a good looking guy and you,

:

you're like, that's even other guys are like, that's a good looking guy.

:

I see why women love him.

:

But if, if Patrick Swayze is like, Hey, you want to go out back and I'll

:

have my way with you, I'd be like, nah, I don't, I don't think I switched.

:

I don't.

:

Like rolled that way, Patrick.

:

But I think you're a sexy man.

:

But that's not how I roll.

:

But if Sam Elliot's like, Hey, I

:

wanna take you behind the

:

Roadhouse, I might actually think about it.

:

I won't lie.

:

You know what I'm saying?

:

I might be

:

like,

:

Hmm.

:

Eighties Roadhouse,

:

Sam Elliot.

:

Lemme think about that.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

yeah.

:

Yeah.

:

And even other guys

:

are like, that's a good

Katie:

We got a twofer

:

action right there.

:

Like, I can see why my mom liked this movie

:

when I was, you know, younger.

:

I was like, yeah, I

:

can see why my mom likes

:

this movie.

:

they also have Kelly Lynch from me, so they got something for everybody.

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

And that, that the, the blonde, um, Denise, oh, who by the

Katie:

way, was supposedly only 17

Katie:

during the

Katie:

filming of

Katie:

Milo - The 80s and 90s Uncensored: What did she lie about?

Katie:

Her age?

Katie:

she may have an, I think it was like the

Katie:

cusp.

Katie:

Um, she, I think she turned 18 during the

Katie:

filming, but I think she looks like she's 30.

Katie:

I mean, but I know people looked older back then than they do now, but

Katie:

Yeah.

Katie:

Crazy town.

:

Wow.

:

Well, that's fine.

:

That's whatever I, I'm all right with her.

:

She's cool.

:

In my book,

Katie:

Well,

Katie:

yeah, I think that's what I mean.

Katie:

I, the reason I thought of her was because you said Kelly Lynch.

Katie:

I'm like, well, there's, there's a little, like I said, there's

:

something for

:

everybody.

Katie:

There really is, and Roadhouse is such a fun movie and it's easy

Katie:

to see why it attained cult status.

Katie:

as

Katie:

I've mentioned throughout the course of our conversation, I now strongly believe

Katie:

that's actually a

Katie:

legit good movie.
