We're back! We finally took a break from Jerry (for the most part) and the new segments in order to discuss Brewster's Millions and the early career of director/writer Walter Hill! Before diving into the feature attraction, we chat about some of Hill's work as a screenwriter and then everything he did leading up to that movie (Hard Times, The Driver, The Warriors, The Long Riders, Southern Comfort, 48 Hours, and Streets of Fire).We haven't recorded the bonus episode just yet so listen until the very end for some Patreon exclusive updates and news!

Thanks so much for all of your continued support.

Holy hell that run time! What a treat! (Did y’all clock Mykelti Williamson and Robert Townsend as half of the Sorels and E.G. “Tommy Pickles” Daily in Streets of Fire? If you want more pointless trivia on that movie, I’m your gal 🫡)

You might also recognize Lynne Thigpen’s voice as Luna the Moon on Bear in the Big Blue House

What a pleasant surprise to hear you guys tear into and express bewilderment about the comments you get on YouTube. Because I stopped using reddit / social media about 4 years ago, the only real interaction with and exposure to internet opinions is through YouTube comments and I've sort of become a little fascinated by them. I simply cannot believe the way people talk about things through YouTube comments. Movies, video games, politics, whatever; whether it be positive or negative I just cannot believe it. Since you've started doing a couple of new segments here, I propose you start one in which you call out some of the more egregious comments you get there.

The Eddie Trunk podcast has that same problem, there was a episode with a good 20 minute ad read

Speaking of GTA, have anyone here played the Warriors game?

JokersJuicyAss

Fun fact I recently learn, Randy Quaid was a possible T800

JokersJuicyAss

Also 48 Hours has the second best alleyway fight scene between a long hair blonde and a black guy

Lux Anatis

No, but I was the store manager for a GameStop all throughout that console generation and I ran the place like the record store in High Fidelity.

Luke Gordnier

It was me who sent another 48hrs along with a movie I think joe should do a hats off video on since it’s the 85th anniversary of the cartoon, Tom and Jerry: the movie.

Loved listening to this. Allan Graf is always great to see pop up. His specialty as a stuntman must be bus stunts because he was always showing up as the bus driver in various action movies.

Heath Chamerski

Yes absolutely loved it, I’ve oddly never seen the movie but played the game start to finish.

Lux Anatis

Not odd in the least, I just naturally assumed that's true of almost everyone who did. Does anyone want to insist they saw Mario Kart on PlayStation 2 while breathing through their mouth next?

JokersJuicyAss

I mean yeah I seen crazier bootlegs, Dragon Ball San Andreas anyone?

Thomas Bishop

I keep getting sidetracked trying to check these movies out. I'll be back to comment in a few weeks, and you all better respond goddamnit.

Nathan Kearney

Joe, I know you like What We Do In The Shadows. Did you see The Warriors after the final season where they homaged it in one of the episodes?

Sidetracks

I’m still catching up on the final season!

Nathan Kearney

Well at least now you'll catch it haha

Sidetracks

Hurry back! You were shouted out during this ep.

Thomas Bishop

ah nice! I'll listen through, I'm not typically someone who is too worried about spoilers or whatnot.

Trembling Colors

There is a good 70s LA Buddy cop movie called Busting starring Eliot Gould and Robert Blake you guys should check out. And Joe, the movie I think you were thinking of where it was set to Star Steve McQueen but McQueen insisted Ali McGraw be involved was Friedkin’s Sorcerer.

Trembling Colors

Streets of Fire is more a vibe movie than a plot movie. I love it’s vibe a music myself. I think they originally wanted Patrick Swayze in the Michael Pare part and I do wish he was the star instead if that’s true. I get the feeling that the world of Streets of Fire is set after a massive war and there isn’t a big population anymore so the cities are where people are now and they’re pretty lawless. Tom Cody comes back from whatever war that happened.

Scott Ruisch

The whole Robert Evans/Ali McGraw/Getaway story is a side plot in the Paramount+ limited series, The Offer. It's actually all about Albert Ruddy ( Miles Teller) producing The Godfather. Very watchable and Matthew Goode basically steals the show as Evans.

JokersJuicyAss

Another fun fact that movie inspired the show Starsky and Hutch

Sidetracks

I have to finish that show. I started watching it but only made it a few episodes in

Thanks for the shoutout! Honored to have made it into an episode! Great deep-dive into Hill’s career & Brewster’s Millions! This ep definitely inspired me to seek out The Long Riders. Looking forward to the Hill follow-up!

Steven Trotter

On that Meet the Parents episode some guy said "FAKE CLICK BAIT YOU WILL BE REPORTED" and I couldn't really tell if he was trolling or a legit mental midget

The Film Smith

I got to admit (and this might be a hot take), but I wasn’t a fan of 48 Hours. I might’ve gotten a bit too hyped to see this when I listened to the Harlem Nights episode. Eddie was hilarious without a doubt, but I really didn’t like Nolte frankly. I didn’t need to necessarily “like” his character, but he was far too unpleasant in a way that felt too try-hard and not worth watching. You have a good point of not needing the two leads to become best of friends by the end, but I do need to feel that the conclusion makes sense, and I didn’t buy that Murphy and Nolte would have gotten any respect for one another.

If anyone is into screenplays, Walter Hill’s draft of Alien is pretty fantastic. It’s extremely minimal, like if Cormac McCarthy wrote a script in haiku.

Brent Dragoo

Patrick Willems has a great overview of it on YouTube. It’s completely a vibes movie, Willems has a quote from from Hill where he explains the plot as basically the themes from 50s teen songs strung together. That kind of mashup really worked better 30 years later. A
