Runaway Franchise

The Runaway Boyz are 2 weeks away from retiring this franchise but for now are back on duty with this week's investigation on 1992's Lethal Weapon 3. It was a challenge to parse through the seemingly cocaine fueled plot, sub-plots, sub-sub-plots, sub-sub-sub-plots…but the boyz definitely figured it all out…definitely…Okay-okay-okay-okay--run to the nearest vehicle, yell like a maniac until the driver gives you control of their vehicle and then blast this episode on your radio!

In the Lobby:

We say Happy Birthday to one of our listeners!

We also ask for your emails on embarrassing times where people keep bothering you during a relaxing bath. Email/tweet/instagram it so we can tell it to the world on the lobby!

We rolled into 1989’s Lethal Weapon 2! Tom decided to participate in the drinking game associated with the franchise and tries to hum the saxophone tunes…a lot…which makes it very difficult for Dom and Ed trying to explain past current events to him. Tom’s drunkenness aside, Ed enjoys toilet bombs, and Dom enjoys DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!  Okay-enough of this description-okay-okay-Just listen to the podcast, okay? Okay-okay-okay-okay-okay…

The Lobby:

We figure out which of us is the Riggs, Murtaugh, and Getz. And then we ask you the listeners to send in your stories of being stranded on a toilet seat!

The Runaway detectives partner up to take on their latest case, 1987's Lethal Weapon! Ed is fresh to the investigation but…still very uninterested…Tom is ill and going more mental than usual and Dom does everything to talk about  his favorite buddy cop duo, Jackie Chan and Chis Tucker (Cinemablend, you're on his list…). Where will this investigation lead the boys? Will the trio get passed their differences? Listen  to how the case unfolds!

In the lobby:

We got an email of a listener's tragic Peepee toilet lid smashed tale in reference to Home Alone 3.

"Took us two and a half truffles to get here!" Ed, Dom and Tom have survived another year and finished off another franchise. In this episode, the boys are haunted by the mean bootlegging ghost, Dead-leg and made them watch 2012's Home Alone 5: Holiday Heist! But then the ghost of Blue's Clues past, Steve, floated through the door and fed Ed, distracting him throughout the movie and podcast…Dom and Tom still had to watch the movie…Listen to find out if they saved the best for last! Spoiler Alert! They didn't…

The Lobby:

The boys talk about the movie franchises they look forward to jumping into for 2018! We talk dinosaurs, robots, hockey masks, Jedi and Mel Gibson. Dom also has the scoop on a scandalous secret relationship between two Star Wars characters!

Show Notes:

Ed eats!

AAAAAaaAAAaaAAaaAAAaaAaHhhHHhhh! Is what the Runaway Boys screamed in unison, slapping their hands to their faces as they watched 2002's Home Alone 4. In no way do we suggest you watch this movie. If this podcast has any purpose to it, it is to watch the unwatchable so you don't have to. Listen to our tale of misery and woe…Merry Christmas…

In the lobby:

On a more positive note…Ed, Dom and Tom discuss their favorite movies of 2017.

Show notes:

Check out Tom's…custom Baywatch toy box…it's got his name on it and everything…

Ed, Dom and Tom are stuck at home with the chicken pox! So, they decide to pop in the VHS player 1997's Home Alone 3! As you would think would happen 3 movies in, the Runaway boys were getting cranky and itchy which was not looking good for this latest installment…BUT! An arch of lightning blasted from their television set creating a portal for a Parrot driving a friggin' RC car delivering them Kenosha Itch Kicker cream and a Little Caesar's pizza party! Listen in for the audio equivalent of a Pizza Party! Or else…

In the lobby:

Southern California has been hit with historically large and devastating wild fires. So many people have or are in risk of losing their homes and they need help! We ask that you donate what you can to RedCrossLA.org

PS: The Runaway boys were horrified and confused about the implications of Scarlet Johansson's line "Alex slammed the toilet seat on his thing again!" that we want to know if this has ever or could ever happen in IRL?

Obviously send us stories about your "thing" being smashed by a toilet seat mishap on social media @RAFpodcast or email [email protected]. We would love to read about your misfortune on our next episode!

Ed's back from abandoning the Runaway Franchise Family (he was sick, cut him a break, also this might be him editing this to cut himself slack) and so are the McCallister's with 1992's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York! The gang's nostalgic memory runs through the traps of reality as their love of Talkboys does not reflect their feelings for this sequel. Things spiral further out of control as Ed starts composing the Imperial March with the Kenosha Kickers! Tune in to hear our peaks and valleys of our seasonal affective depression…

In the lobby:

Ed, Dom and Tom discuss their best and worst Christmases. It's much more sad than being left alone as your cool friends or family all go on a sick first-class flight to a sweet vacation.  Except Dom's…he's got all the good Christmases…

This week, Ed abandons Dom and Tom as they prepare to start a new franchise with 1990's Home Alone! All seems lost as Dom and Tom struggle to figure out how to play the movie on the darn STARZ app…but then…all was saved as a truly beautiful Christmas Miracle appeared in the form of Rick Matthews and the Kenosha Kickers! You'll never be home alone again as long as you tune in!

FREDDY IS VERSING JASON AND WE HAVE OUR FRIEND JAY(SON) HERE! J is back from the trail, and on the podcast. This week we had the pleasure of watching 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason. The horror-packed slugfest that is Freddy fighting Jason for the right to murder children. This movies oozes early 2000’s in pretty much […]

Wahoooooo it's Wes Craven's New Nightmare...the one where they make a movie about making a movie with people from the movie in it and Freddy is in it but he's Robert England but also Freddy. Nancy isn't Nancy, but she's the actress who played Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) and her Dad is now her friend. Confused yet? So is Ed. Dom and Tom think he's a big dummy, but this movie is genuinely confusing. Is this NEW NIGHTMARE a step in the right direction, or a step off a sheer cliff face that falls into infinite meta-ness? Listen and find out!
