We’re finally back and we have an amazing movie to start off the new edition of the podcast. SLIGHTLY IN THE FUTURE is a story about a group of people the writer clearly forgot to rename before he submitted the script. Nothing matters except Don Johnson as a cowboy. He literally soaks up all the sexy in the entire film, even from baby Tom Sizemore and I-have-donut-on-my-face Mickey Rouke.
Dominic is distracted by them Thicc Boys giving chase. Melissa thinks thunder thighs lives in that helicopter just staring at the blinky thing. John, once again, finds a forgotten gem in music and wants us all to go to NeilCarswell.com.
It’s a hell of a ride and a huge WELCOME BACK for the Go With The Heat Podcast.

Lets get down to brass tacks: This is an adult version of Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo
This movie goes back and forth between scifi and a western. Whenever it’s a Marlboro moment it set up like a western. When Harley is the lead its a scifi.
Some message about modern versus simple, when things were good and now they’re messed up. Or that things just have always been messed up.
They don’t get anything in this movie. No money, no bar, all their friends are dead.
The only part that really rubs me the wrong way is Harley Davidson. He’s not what I think of when I think Harley. I think more old dude that kinda looks like Dog The Bounty Hunter who eats at Applebee’s and can’t go back to Chili’s after he had too many beers.
Opening
Opens with Harley guy at a hotel listening to radio about drugs, packs up and leaves his hooker on the bed. Credits roll as he leaves on his motorcycle through the desert, just heading West on his steel horse.
Is this in the future?
You put this drug into your eyes called Crystal Dream. This is the most helpful radio DJ ever
Holy shit just starts with Bon Jovi and probably their best song.
We get it, Mickey Rouke is the Harley guy. He’s very different than what I know of Harley people.
Stacked cast, sometime in the future
Gas Station being held up
Harley guy ignores store being held up, fights his way through.
Pool hall/strip club
OMG Don Johnson as a cowboy beating a whole tribe of Native
