Crazy for Swayze

The Quick and The Dead (1987) [Swayze Adjacent]. Not THAT The Quick and The Dead (1995)!!! Is it a Road House? Only sorta, but Sam Elliott is there, and that goes a long way toward checking our boxes. Spoilers for The Rehearsal, I guess? Which was totally robbed of an Emmy.

It's got everything! Live music, crowd participation, even a drinking game!! Plus opinions from Erin Hill, Mike Smyth, Tyler Adams, then Erin again, and then Mike again, and Mal, too. You shoulda been there.

Mike Smyth, remake expert, is back for our final remake (so far!): Jake Gyllenhal's take on Elwood Dalton in Roadhouse. Fresh off our live show at The Lager House (releasing next week!), we're all loaded up with original Roadhouse opinions and ready to talk about the 2024 version. It's DEI (and that's a good thing!)!!! It's sexless (not so good!)!! It's begging to be talked about through a Patrick Swayze lens! We are truly the exact guys to be talking about this movie.

DAN IS BACK for more Civil War fun. Mal reveals a little backstory. George and Orry hang out with their Presidents, then, briefly, each other. Charles makes a new friend. Bent and Ashton finally hook up. Virgilia finally meets Olivia Soprano. Justin meets his maker.

Andrea Kaminski and Alicia Massey are back again, but not for the movies they thought they were watching! Somehow we have a harder time with this movie than we did with Inland Empire, but we all agree that the Mystery Man is pretty freaky deaky. Ultimately, it's a movie about pornos, folks.

Ian Spratt is back and we're going to tackle what is possibly David Lynch's strangest film. It feels like a culmination of all of his films - a magnum opus before finally getting another crack at Twin Peaks. This one is kinda about the SWAYZE Method, but applied to acting instead of policing!

"What's the heaviest thing you've ever covered on the podcast?" That's the question AJ, AKA Slimeball Cinerama, asked while Bob crawled through Laura Palmer's window. So far, this is probably it. It's a prequel to the 90s' weirdest TV show, but you don't have to have seen the show to enjoy the film [according to David Lynch]. Probably because it's difficult for anyone at all to "enjoy" this film. Be warned, there's some terrible shit to behold in this one. LET'S ROCK.

The Civil War has finally begun! Pickle Fritz is back! New, updated theme song! New MOUSTACHE drop! And tell us, folks, did ladies really wear tiny cowboy hats during the Civil War?

Whitaker Watch and Vietnam Month both continue (and conclude?) with Shane Stroud. We finally sort out the "win condition" of Vietnam and Red Dawn's place in the history of Vietnam films. Mo' propaganda, mo' problems.

Film guy and returning guest Andrew Snyder knows a thing or two about war film propaganda, so he's natural choice for the insanity that is Full Metal Jacket. He tells us about his personal Vietnam, and we all learn a little bit about Marine culture. Another masculine romp for the books!
