Travel with us, back to the hottest day of the summer in the late 80s in Bedford-Stuyvesant, to a time when race relations were tense, to put it mildly. What’s that you say? This sounds like the present day? MAYBE THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT. Take a listen.
In our second installment of What’s Up Docs?, we talk about the 2011 film Hot Coffee, which on the surface is about…hot coffee, but underneath is about so much more. We never knew tort reform could be so interesting, and so infuriating. What you think you know about the titular coffee incident is likely A) wrong or B) 1% of what actually happened. Unless you are an attorney who specializes in tort reform law, in which case you probably know a lot about this movie and have very strong opinions. We’d love to hear them.
When one person overacts, does everyone then as a reaction start to overact, too?
We conclude our discussion of Tombstone by revealing the most beautiful cast ever, and Adam Driver. Don’t shame us, though, for even you, our dear listeners, went full gorgeous on your picks. Ya’ll are just as vapid as we are. We talk about the historically-adjacent accuracy of this movie, how the writers realized they needed a new villain with 40 minutes left of the movie, how Andy will die on the hill of This Is Val Kilmer’s Best Performance, and why the Earp Vendetta Ride is Kyle’s third favorite attraction at Disneyland.
We’re going to go a little more chaotic neutral than lawful evil for this one.
– AndyWelcome to our discussion of 1993’s Tombstone, starring (and essentially directed by) Kurt Russell, along with Val Kilmer, and Dana Delaney. Who could possibly have the look of predator and prey? Who could ever lead the Cowboys with such gravitas and scene-chewing? WHO COULD BE YOUR HUCKLEBERRY?!
This is the first episode in our new series, ‘What’s Up, Docs?’, where we each choose a documentary that we would like our fellow co-hosts to watch and discuss. Up first is Kyle’s choice of ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune‘, the story of a (possibly) madman making a (possibly) brilliant take on Frank Herbert’s (largely agreed upon) masterpiece, Dune.
It was like Steve Martin doing Lily Tomlin doing Steve Martin doing an Elvis impression.
– KyleI was wondering that, too! What *is* the opposite of a straight-man?
– JerLike Zack Snyder or not, he Snydered all over this movie. (Gesundheit)
