Double Feature: Road House - Patreon Version

Comments

Luca Kelly

Sure as shit wasn’t expecting this but I love it

Chase Lonnergan

Awww... damn! I was super excited until I read the words "double feature" and saw the remake. Well, poop!

Den Radar Ryan

Well then. I better put up my dukes. 👀🥊📺

Grand Moff Slackin'

A Roadhouse double feature… is this what love feels like…?

Den Radar Ryan

R.I.P. Jeff Healey 1966 - 2008. (the blind guitar player in the original Road House). A Canadian guitar legend. ♥️🎸🤘

FrancescoTakesItEasy

Not interested in the new one, but I'll gleefully throw in the 4K disc of the OG as soon as I'm done with work.

Keerit Thind

Omg. The amount of happy I am cannot be placed into words.

Fernando Alamán

Not sure if I'll watch, but thank you very much for doing a surprise double feature drop!

David Zabel

The only movie in history that’s both good and bad at the same time.

Monica Alarcon

Oh cool. But this will have to wait cause today I am watching Magic Mike with Simone and Chandra!!

Amar

This is a lovely surprise when i'm home sick on a Wednesday

Jay Davis

A polar bear fell on me

Presto2222

Look up Jeff Healey, the leader of the band. He passed away from the same cancer that took his sight, but he was a brilliant blues guitarist.

Amar

I think the 2nd film is out of sync George? The movie kept playing in the background when you started again so the film was 2-3 minutes in front of what you were reacting too.

Cinebinge

aaah shit i sync'd it to the first countdown not the redo. at the beginning when i do 1, 2, 3, play we had to start again due to audio issue on Simone side. go with the second 1, 2, 3 count. I am rendering version of this now but its going to take a few hrs due to it being 4.5 hrs long. If you dont want to wait for it, sync your 2024 Road House to the second countdown at 2:16:27 instead.

"(Let's Have) A Patrick Swayze Christmas" by Crow T. Robot (for MST3K fans) Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in. We'll gather at the Road House with our next of kin. And Santa can be our regular Saturday night thing. We'll decorate a barstool and gather round and sing. Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas this year! Or we'll tear your throat out and kick you in the ear! It's my way or the highway, this Christmas at my bar. I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car! I got the word that Santa has been stealing from the till. I think that that right jolly old elf had better make out his will! Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, one and all. And this can be the haziest... This can be the laziest... This can be the Swayziest Christmas of them all!

ExtraBigAssTaco

I haven't seen the remake, and I will be the first to admit that I've always been biased against the original personally. In my youth, it was like the unofficial "anthem" for a lot of toxic attitudes, so it colored my perception of it. Again, this is only my experience, and does not reflect my judgement of anyone who loves the movie.

Pam Nail

Re: Sam Elliott - his first credited film role is in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Probably his first significant movie role was the horror movie Frogs (1972) -- this was pre-mustache and it's quite unsettling to see him without facial hair. For iconic younger Elliott, I'd recommend The Legacy (1978), which he made with his future wife Katherine Ross and in which he appears naked (you're welcome); Mask (1982), in which he costars with Cher; and Shakedown (1988), where he costars with Peter Weller (aka Robocop).

Mastervodo

I'm going to say it. Everyone is thinking it. Simone needed a heart rate monitor for these movies.

sarCC

Yay! Excited to rewatch the first one with you!

Lyle Morgan

Bill Murray is friends with Kelly Lynch's husband and calls him every time Road House is on TV and says "I'm watching Patrick Swayze bang your wife against a brick wall" and then hangs up.

Johnny Liu

Thank you guys for this great Wednesday surprise. OG Roadhouse is definitely one of those that gets better with a group of friends and a few beers.

mky

"replaced the old version, sync time for second half is now correct. thanks for waiting!" Thanks, George!

ChickensAreRacist

Haha that was great. Both of you got horny at the same time in the obvious part of obviously the first one lol

Odd Thomas

Speaking of Sam Elliot, with the trailer for Joker 2 just released, a good thing to watch would be A Star is Born (as Gaga & Elliot are in it - and it's just a great movie)

Alex Ch

Awesome! Can’t wait to watch!

Mastervodo

Damn. Forgot how sexy the females were in this movie. From Kelly Lynch, to Wesley's "pet". Heck, even all the bar extras looked like models! I'm surprised (after watching the original) G&S did not talk about the music. Jeff Healey (Canadian, ctually blind-eye cancer as a kid. RIP 2008) just killed it in this movie. Music I feel was much better in the 1st than the 2nd, where it seemed they were trying to shoe-horn in as many acts as possible.

REDR58

Fantastic! The original Roadhouse movie is one of those 1980s movies that came out when I was growing up but never saw, and I have yet to see the new one. And I just got the new Vinegar Syndrome 4k/Blu-ray a few months ago so I’m very much looking forward to watching these tonight!

James Boyd

I'm impressed George. I'm from Missouri and this movie was loosely inspired by Kenneth McElroy. Especially the ending when nobody saw anything.

REDR58

Another great Sam Elliot movie is "Hero" from 2017 which also start Krysten Ritter!

JayF

For younger Sam Elliot I have already asked for a reaction to Mask (Eric Stoltz, Cher, Sam). Excellent drama based on a true story.

LazyArtist

Well, okay, I'm one of those who never saw the first one (until now), but saw the second one when it came out. I was satisfied by the 2024 version, but mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal's charm and the beautiful scenery of the Florida Keys and the Dominican Republic. It's filmed mostly in the later, and filmed really well. I was also surprised by some of the funny bits. Pretty good. But the story and the characterization should've been further explored while in the writing stage, I'd say. Conor McGregor was also fun--initially--but he ended up fairly cringe. And, yeah, renaming the protagonist and perhaps making him even darker would've helped things. Perhaps a man who can barely contain his anger *throughout* the film... That would've helped his character arc. Maybe he was kicked out of the UFC for multiple savage out-of-control moments, and it all harks back to some teenage trauma or something. So he's a really broken fellow. Maybe even at the Road House, he could fail, being "nice" at first but then really losing it at times, so much so that the owner fires him eventually. Maybe he begins to see the light. He must confront his demons, and he tries. But eventually those very instincts of extreme anger and violence are what are needed in the finale, when he returns to "save the day." Of course, you should probably then have him STOP his own violence in some critical moment at the end, in order to truly save the day--and his own soul. Now THAT would be a better story. He still must ride the bus out of town, alone, still broken, but a better man. Something like that...? As for the first one, it felt stale to me. Swayze's hair too neat, the plot too improbable, the tropes too familiar. I don't know. Maybe I don't like happy endings. Or maybe it felt weird because I *lived* the 80s myself, mostly in bars (or so it seemed), and I have a hard time seeing anything other than a mullet-saturated, neon-lettered, hairspray-smelly homage to a time I don't fully recognize.

Odd Thomas

Older movies aren't afraid of confusing or disturbing the audience. The Disneyfication of Hollywood has meant studios are afraid of making people think or feel bad for even a second.

Prof. Writhms

Well, since others are recommending more original and remake double features… Please react to the original “The Magnificent Seven” and the badass remake. Well... technically, it would be a triple feature if you go back to the Japanese ORIGINAL (original)... "The Seven Samurai". But I was referring to the westerns.

Our Patrons thought we were a myth. Well... They were MYTH taken.

🖤Me not being able to get to this well after whatever sync issues were going on were already fixed, thus not affecting me at all, and seeing George say they're now fixed, "Well it's about time George. I expect this dreadful service at the Four Seasons, or even the Hôtel Plaza Athénée when I visit Paris which I do most FREQUENTLY... but not here George... never here. I trust this matter is sorted and SHANT happen again?" (Pulls out a crumpled/dirty one dollar bill to tip George with while accidentally pulling out pennies, candy wrappers, and cigarette pack cellophane and pretends I don't hear it all fall on the floor)

Odd Thomas

Dodgy CGI explosion aside, I actually liked the remake more! (ducks thrown glasses like Gay Perry)

Chase Schleich

Sync time is still a mess. I'm 5 minutes in and have had to fix it 4 times already. Your version seems to be freezing and glitching. Edit: Seems better after the opening scene. Now that he's at the Double Deuce it seems to be holding up.

Chase Schleich

I forgot Terry Funk was in this. RIP.

Darin Dalton

I guess this is a good movie to make my first comment here. The original came out when I was in high school. Imagine the fun I had, considering my name 😋. You guys are great and this is an awesome surprise!

E. D.

what a coincidence that simone mentions tucker & dale vs evil, I watched their reaction to it last night

Our Patrons thought we were a myth. Well... They were MYTH taken.

🖤 It's cool that George got Road House out of the way because over the weeks he's made references to Parks and Rec, so I think he's watching it (I THINK for a first watch-through?). In one of the later seasons Andy (won't go into detail) basically describes some of his favorite movies, and he kind of spoils part of Road House LOL. So if he is watching Parks and Rec for the first time and makes it to that season... crisis averted XD

Keerit Thind

Eating shawarma and watching the Road House (1989).i think I found my zen.

Lana Gorgeous

The actor who played the blind band leader was blind and a bonafide rock star " Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey (March 25, 1966 - March 2, 2008) was a Canadian blues and rock singer and guitarist who obtained large notoriety in America also. He lost his sight as a child due to a rare form of eye cancer." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kag0TsZzxpw

E. D.

I think Gyllenhaal is not natty, hollywood folks tend to take shortcuts

Gary Fixler

Simone: "Roadhouse" seems to me like it's a traveling home. my brain: Welcome to Walt and Jesse's Roadhouse!

BigGuy209

i know this is not about this movie. Dune Part 2 comes out April 16 on digital.

REDR58

The redhead who gets knocked out of her chair at the start of the movie is Patrica Tallman, a stuntwoman and actor who appeared on the series Babylon 5 and a bunch of Star Trek series.

REDR58

I like how Simone laughed at the pop-up headlights on the Testarossa. Pop-ups are the best!

E. D.

I also liked Kelly Lynch in Curly Sue

Chase Schleich

There was a guy in my town a few years back who didn't say "maybe not." He didn't use a car though either. He waited on a train to come, then just stepped in front of it. Really fucked up traffic that whole day.

Chase Schleich

Came out last week on digital. Just not.... officially.... lol. I finally got to watch it a few days ago.

REDR58

The pickup with the huge wheels is just one of the “Bigfoot” Monster Trucks, a series of customized trucks used for racing/crushing cars and other general silliness. This one seen in the movie was specifically built for it. Also used in “Tango & Cash.”

Skyruff

In short, you and the review sites agree. The remake has some wonderful technical items but overall a lessor overall movie. The first one suffers from lower budget and 80s items such as the ever perfect mullet., but was a better overall story arch. Neither winning an academy award for acting. My personal theory is that in the remake Dalton has trouble with his dark side because he struggles with the fact that his sister is a better actor then he is. hehehe

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Good call George, I've heard the story of Ken Rex McElroy but I didn't even think of that connection. But just a few other things I noticed rewatching this (original, I'm about to watch the remake for the first time), one is that, just as I was thinking how this movie reminds me of From Dusk Till Dawn, just the whole crazy roadhouse vibe, the band playing during the opening credits, well the singer at least, was in From Dusk Till Dawn (which you gotta see, it's Roadhouse on tequila and bad acid, it's completely bonkers but I love it). Oh, yeah I wanted to mention that I saw Benny Urquidez credited for the stunts, George you caught that, but Benny "The Jet" Urquidez was known to me as a kickboxing champion back in the 80s, never knew he worked in Hollywood. One thing that made me laugh, just as the monster truck was about to smash the Ford dealership I was thinking how much the place looked like California and just then in the back of the shot for an instant you can see a highway sign pointing to Los Angeles and Bakersfield lol, oops

droodly

Just realized we saw the actor who played Ben Brandt before in The Big Short. He played one of the douchey mortgage brokers in Florida that said "I was a bartender. Now I own a boat!". I hope he's always typecast as a rich sleazeball in FL that has a boat.

Gary Fixler

I can partly answer the peak physical condition thing, which is laughable now, because I'm so ridiculously fat and out of shape these days, but 30 years ago in high school - and I mentioned this a bit (I think?) in a Ted Lasso comment section (re: them working out to the point of throwing up) - I had a completely psycho soccer coach who had us work out to insane levels, like 8+ hour practices, 7 days a week, starting months before the other schools (beginning of summer break - my whole summer was soccer practice). Wind sprints, "Indian" runs (last guy sprints to the front), burpees, miles of through-the-woods track runs, hundreds upon hundreds of pushups and situps (always sets of 50, and we'd do them a few times an hour) every practice, 30 second breaks every hour or so for water, go to the woods if you need to throw up and hurry back. Psycho, but we did win the state champ twice, and almost a third time. I was a chubby, slow, computer-programmer freshman, and somewhere in that same year, he had me beat a 5-minute mile (4:58), and I'd never run in any way before. I remember laying on my stomach on the floor watching TV, and mom asked me to get the mail, and I did a push up into a standing position, like a perfectly rigid plank; I could push hard enough to throw myself vertical, without bending my legs or body. That one shocked me. I couldn't believe I could just do that now. Then I took off sprinting through the woods to our far-away mailbox (we lived in the middle of nowhere - driveway was 1000ft long). I ran everywhere, because it just felt wonderful. The biggest thing I remember was pure comfort. I didn't really think about my body at all, because every part of it just radiated good feeling, like being in a warm bath. Temperature did nothing. If it was very cold, or too hot, I felt exactly the same, because my body was incredible at regulating. Every position was comfortable, for any length of time. I remember watching a presentation, standing with my feet about shoulder-width apart, arms folded, standing at the back of an auditorium, for maybe 2 hours, and I never moved. I didn't shift my weight, like I constantly do now, because my feet and ankles get sore. I didn't change positions. I was like a statue, or a Tower of London guard. That also surprised me. About an hour in, I thought "Wow, I haven't moved a muscle in, like, an hour." I could also literally fall in a pile and go right to sleep, and wake up in that same pile, legs and arms however they landed, no soreness. That amazes me now to think back on. Another thing I remember was that I had to eat certain things at certain times, or I was a mess. Like right now, I need an apple, or I'm going to pass out, but if I eat a donut instead, I'm going to be suffering for hours, in weird, confusing ways, like my body is shutting down or something. I just knew what to eat and when to eat it, no planning. My body told me apples, salads, fruit. Also, only water. I only drink Diet Coke now - I'm addicted - but back then, being in such incredible shape (actually too thin - my eye sockets and cheeks were sunken in, and you could see all my ribs), I couldn't stand anything but water, and actually craved water. It felt delicious. These days, my body just says: donuts, pizza, potato chips, more... I surprised myself soon after, as a college freshman, just sitting, legs crossed, on the floor, and I suddenly felt like I could lift myself into a handstand, so I just did. It was something I'd never tried before, but I put my hands to the sides, pushed butt and folded legs off the floor, rolled upside down, and unfolded my legs to straight above me. The whole time I was thinking "OMGOMG I'm doing it." I could just do things. On the flip side, I stopped the constant working out in college, but my appetite remained, so I went from 173lbs to 255lbs that year (I'm 6' tall). After college, I did Atkins, while at my first job, and dropped 70lbs in 3 months, not even trying (that never worked again, sadly, although it may have been a good chunk of muscle, too). I remember being at work one day, and standing up to go to the bathroom, and I underestimated my weight (to George's question), and literally jumped in the air. It very confusing as it was happening, and I had to catch myself on my desk as I came down. I was only trying to stand up, but forgot I didn't have 70 additional pounds around my middle, because I'd been very overweight for years at that point.

TGrimace

I was really hoping the newer one would have a Sam Elliot character. Some friend that shows up late in the movie to help him. And I was hoping it would end up being Post Malone :D

Nightcrawler Nightcrawler Nightcrawler Night...Crawler. Nightcrawler.

REDR58

Just watched the 2024 movie. And yes, the less Connor McGregor speaks the better. Movie was fun but not as good as the older one.

Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez

I actually liked the remake more than the original, made more sense that the entire town was not fully corrupt and he did left as his crimes were also covered

Simone's Coconut Squire

Speaking of movies, actors, and bouncers, Mr. T got his start as a bouncer and actually got kind of famous for doing it. Whenever he'd throw someone out, he'd take their gold chain, leading to his iconic look.

Flori85

Because you asked about the body building: First of all, it has to be said that JJ has an excellent shape, but he is rather "lean" and not very "jacked", objectively speaking. He has put on some muscle, but is still considered relatively small. Basically, you can be very agile and fast even with a significant amount of muscle if you train for it. If you do bodybuilding as your only sport, you are generally not agile and flexible because that is not part of your training.
