Hey all! Here's the aftershow for our episode on Brewster's Millions! Sorry this one took a bit longer than usual to get out but had a lot more movies than usual to cover on this one, including the remainder of Walter Hill's filmography and some Richard Pryor stuff as well. Enjoy!

Ryan, I think Patrice O'Neal was maybe the best to do it 👍 Also, Rick Moranis used to do a pretty good impression/take-down of Carlin back when Moranis was on SCTV - you can find a couple of clips online.

Justin Decloux and the no such thing as a bad movie crew are proud of you Joe for coming around on Beilushi

Luke Gordnier

I saw the watch last year, it’s a mash up of ben stiller/Vince Vaughn, Seth Rogan/Jonah hill and lonely island humor so Ryan would probably destroy his tv if he ever watched it but I thought it was fine for what it was.

I knew I could count on you guys to mirror my sentiments on George Carlin. It seems like every other week I'll run into some comment online expressing our need for Carlin now more than ever when the reality is he would be totally on board with everything people like that think they're demonstrating against. He was a really great performer, but his social commentaries are so incredibly pedestrian and no longer even the least bit subversive if they ever were at all.

Lux Anatis

As for suggestions for Norbit, there's a really obvious Eddie flop I'm sure you've considered before. Soul Man would be interesting, but it's better served as the companion for The Love Guru, which you'll definitely do one day. Personally, I'd go with Meet Dave.

Lux Anatis

I've got some movie suggestions for you again for a future episode. Spike Lee's Bamboozled, Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, Pauly Shore is Dead, and, of course, BAPs.

Jason Patterson

Hey Joe, thank you again for all the love. If everything works well with Pat Walsh is there any chance I get some tasteful yet provocative feet pics? Too much? Am I flying too close to the sun?

The Film Smith

At least Pryor got to end his career on a relative high note with his role in Lost Highway (even if it was a small part). Though if he did end up taking the lead role in Blazing Saddles as originally intended I think we’d have a completely different filmography afterwards. I did watch The Last Stand when it came out, and it was a pretty fun film. I’d highly recommend checking out the director’s other work. Especially I Saw The Devil - one of the best revenge films of all time as far as I’m concerned.

Luke Gordnier

Can’t wait for the night moves episode, just got the criterion 4k that came out to watch along.

Richard Musto

I'm looking forward to it too. I watched Night Moves a few weeks ago and I'm curious to hear their thoughts.

Sidetracks

Recorded my episode with them today! Gave you a shoutout. Thanks again for making me aware of their pod

Sidetracks

Moranis is hilarious in that Annie Hall starring Carlin bit

Jason Patterson

Thank you for everything you do. Seeing a new episode in the chute always make my day!

Luke Gordnier

I think multiplicity is a fun film

Lux Anatis

I guess I meant Holy Man, but it's the same difference and I'd be shocked to find it wasn't the original title they couldn't use for some legal reason.

Brett Lawrence

Joe - I’m glad you came around on Jim Belushi. I still stand by my suggestion of reviewing Mr. Destiny. It’s a good one. Hats Off was also mentioned on the Movie Dumpster podcast, the Uncle Buck episode. They’re local to the eastern PA area. That might be a fun collab, too.

Glad to hear TRESPASS went over well. Hill was getting spotty around that time but it is a good watch. I know the book is closed on Hill but at some point go back to JOHNNY HANDSOME. It really is a great modern noir crime flick. The UNDISPUTED sequels are more martial arts films. Jai White plays the same character as Rhames from the first film. This time stuck in a Russian prison. Scott Adkins goes from villain in Part 2 to the lead of 3 and 4. Not everyone’s cup of tea but good afternoon yarns. Look forward to watching the interviews in the works!

Fun Fact about Walter Hill after the 2004 Punisher film Thomas Jane actively tried campaigning for Walter Hill to direct a sequel to the 2004 Punisher film but Lionsgate ultimately decided to go with Lexi Alexander and make Punisher War Zone. BTW if you wanna do an episode of Punisher War Zone it’s free on Pluto.TV. I would love you guys to talk about Punisher War Zone it’s my cult classic

Carlisle

Your timeline on the Conan/Leno thing is wrong. Leno's show was brought back 3 months into Conan's Tonight Show.

Trembling Colors

Johnny Handsome is worth it. It’s not what you think, it’s a grim mean crime story with great performances from everyone.

cdpren

Huge fan of WAR ZONE. Still my favorite depiction of parkour in a motion picture.

Trevor Poe

There is an interview between Bill Maher and Jimmy Kimmel about the Conan/Leno thing that’s hilarious. Basically, a drunk Bill Maher just makes up his own story and gets corrected over and over again.

Want which Soul Man? Because I sent then the Blackface one a while back

Hell I bet Carlin's commentaries were always out of touch, once again, "Have a Nice day" if you ever worked in retail it's a thought you had for like 5 seconds before you realize, "Dude, who gives a shit it cost you nothing to say it"

Lux Anatis

I don't think out of touch is the right phrase. If anything, he was very IN touch with his generation and the counterculture it represented. What I meant was, I don't think many of those values hold up to the scrutiny their almost universal adoption in modernity is starting to draw. I agree with some of the stuff he said, but it's important to remember that political correctness meant something different in the time he was speaking out against it. The ideas he presents in some of what is considered his most controversial material are today being casually presented as a matter of course in Disney movies.

Steven Trotter

Man I miss Dick Fucking Cavett. Joe if you reach out you MIGHT be able to get an interview. Guy is almost 90 so he might not be up for much of anything
