We’re giving you one more live show from our recent west coast tour, before returning to regular “in studio” episodes next week. Please enjoy our discussion of perhaps Sylvester Stallone’s grimiest, most 80’s action movie, Cobra, recorded live at the Rio Theater in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Guys, we’re so excited for our guest this episode. He’s a big-time Hollywood gent who’s worn many hats — and to name just a few: he wrote and directed About a Boy. As an actor, he co-starred as “Chuck” in Chuck and Buck. He was one of the producers of The Farewell. The man co-wrote a Star War (Rogue One), for Pete’s sake! And, as we never get tired of reminding him, he directed Twilight: New Moon. But up until now, he’s been missing one line on his resume — Flop House guest. I’m sure now he weeps, for he has no worlds left to conquer. Chris Weitz is on this episode! And we’re sorry we made him talk about Rambo: Last Blood! Meanwhile the rest of us do some shit. We won’t waste your time. Just listen.
We’ve had a lot of great press recently, so we thought we’d offer new listeners a classic show as a good starting point.
We talk about Grudge Match, the movie that pretends DeNiro has a chance against steroidal Stallone. Meanwhile Dan discusses Kevin Hart’s need to do only Kevin-branded movies, Elliott uncovers Sean Connery’s strange belief he’s in every movie, and one of Stu’s relatives makes an unexpected appearance.
Walter Hill has made several great movies in his career. Is Bullet to the Head one of them? Meanwhile, Stuart unveils a new impression in his repertoire, Dan inspires a discussion about the horrors of gorilla sex, and Elliott keeps missing our special celebrity guest.
