I just knew the thumbnail would be of great confusion and disgust, what a fantastic yet disturbing movie

Elisa H.

I just can't. I like the banjo dual though

Mike FromOz

I thought it was going to be either one of them as the banjo kid 😂

PG Modehouse

after this every time i hear ~riggi-dingding-dingding-dingding-ding~ on a banjo, i can never not think of this film... for better or worse. It wasn't exactly clear but my friend thinks the kid refused to shake Drew's hand because he said "God Damn".

Matt Dellarosa

Great reaction. Watching your reaction to this reminded me how horrific it is. I think ive seen it so many times that ive been desensitized to it. I also love how real this movie is. It gets super granular in showing all the problems of hiding the body and getting off the river. Also so human, shows all their trauma, especially John Voight. Great movie.

Robert Cooper

When I was in college, TBS ran this movie every Tuesday at midnight. I think I have seen it HUNDREDS of times.

DonkyDave

Crossing my fingers we will get a Disclosure Day reaction soon

OddThomas

One of those 'once was enough' films, alongside Grave of the Fireflies or Barbarian.

Mary Ann Morgan

I didn’t realize how much Angelina Jolie looked so much like her father, John Voight, in this movie! He really is a great actor. You should see him with Jane Fonda in the movie coming home. Very handsome man and Angelina to me looks almost exactly like him in the face, but she’s very pretty.

Chris Kelley

The River Wild (1994). Float trip with Meryl Streep.

Cartoons ReAct

No, when movies are too dark or based on real events they only use reaction shots

RickyTicky

Yeah, well. I hope tou guys are prepared for this shit. Lol

ThetaSigmaTheOriginal

Fun bit of trivia, the banjo playing kid, wasn't playing the banjo, another younger kid who could play the banjo, was playing it behind the kid seen to be playing it.

Matt O'Keefe

My ex-wife and I lived in her deceased great-aunt's(who was like a grandmother to her) house for a couple of years. She has a big 8-track player cabinet. It only had 1 8-track tape with it. And the tape was the soundtrack to Deliverance so essentially just dueling banjos a couple of times but the 8-track player didn't work anymore. It also had a record player.

Matt O'Keefe

I guess they only have seen Ned Beatty in All The President's Men otherwise since George recognized his name and saw it relatively recently. They have also seen Ronny Cox but usually with grey/white hair. His previous movies they've seen are over 10-15 years newer. And it was not that recently that they saw Robocop, Total Recall or even Beverly Hills Cop.

REDR58

I have not watched a reaction yet so I haven’t seen if they what else they said about him yet, but He was in Superman and Superman II as Otis. As I recall, in the All the President’s Men reaction they did not recognize him from Superman. He was also in Toy Story 3 as the evil “Lots-o’-Huggin’” bear.

Matt O'Keefe

Oh yeah, I forgot about him in Superman.

Andrew

The scary part about this movie is how realistic it is. Stuff like this happens in real life. Just last week two US forestry service scientists were deep in the woods in the Shasta-Trinity national forest doing research and were kidnapped by a gun wielding father and son. They were held hostage for 15 hours. Thankfully they were released unharmed but they will carry that with them for the rest of their lives.

Andrew

How about Clash of the Titans? How many times did you see that on TBS? It was about 300 for me. 😂

Joey Cruz

George: When you first met Simone, was there ANY attraction to her or was it automatic 'friend zone'? (If chosen, please reply on 'Star Trek' day, if possible 🙂)

Banquetfm

I agree with Simone on this - oxygen is very more-ish.

Cally

I've noticed that Simone and George are answering viewer's questions. Is there a particular place to ask these questions, or is it just in the General Chat? (This is not the question I want to ask them).

JoeE

Irreversible was a very powerful movie but I wouldn’t recommend most people watch it. I think the one scene was literally nine minutes long

blerbaberpaterb

what a weird fucking question to ask... like whats the expectation here, to make things uncomfortable between 2 friends? one of them is married and the other is in a relationship, in what world would this be a good idea to ask.

Mikebdrx

So now can we watch “without a paddle” it’s a nice funny canoe (sort of) movie

Zach McBride

will you guys be checking out the new last airbender movie on paramount +?

zona999

I first saw this film when I was about 12, uncut on HBO. So, when 'the scene" happened, I didn't realize what had actually happened. I thought the mountain men humiliated/scared them but that was all. So, when Lewis killed the guy I thought he was the bad guy! The hot headed psycho playing his 'game' and taking out some hillbilly he thought he could kill and get away with. For more than a decade I thought he was the bad guy. Saw it again in my early 20s, and this time, was standing up screaming, "kill that MFer!!!" . Took a while but justice for Lewis!

Jonathan Eaton

"Greenbacks when I'm hard up" Greenbacks was slang for us dollars.

funky weapon

I've got nothing to really say about the film itself that hasn't been said by thousands over the years, so I will add this: there was a car commercial back in the 90s where four dudes go camping in the woods. they set up their stuff, suddenly hear banjo music in the distance, look at each other, and then smash cut to them speeding off in the Jeep or whatever it was. I didn't realize why my mother was laughing so damn hard until I saw Deliverance many years later.

Jonathan Eaton

Speaking of dark movies from my childhood, The Deer Hunter (1978).

KIERON

"Friend zone" Do real people ever talk like this? Feels incel coded on top of just being an insane question to ask.

Ian Tellam

It was only the left hand of the banjoist they used to make ithe playiing look somewhat convincing, and the music is actually dubbed over the scene. The banjo in the movie is also being played clawhammer style, whereas the actual tune is fingerpicked scruggs style, so it doesn't really match up - that's probably more banjo-nerd than most people need in their trivia though, lol.

Jared Petty

George and Simone, a "greenback" is a nickname for a US dollar. So greenbacks for hard (economic) times

Sporty Taco

Three of the biggest pop-culture references from this movie are "Squeal like a pig" and "You got a purty mouth" with the third being T-shirts and hats that say "Paddle faster. I hear banjos."

Doctor Frog

2 suspense filled, in the woods films I’d recommend they watch are Calibre and Eden Lake. Couple of British gems

Robert Cooper

I have seen parts of it many, many times. (Also, I said midnight, but it was 12:05, because TBS wants that 5 minutes of commercials at the top of the hour)

Robert Carter

Having never seen this film, I only know about the horrific scene because of South Park. Not sure if I will watch it knowing what is in it

Jonathan Eaton

The tips on hunting arrows are basically 4 triangular razor blades, so yes, they are very sharp.

Twiska Brand

Pretty sure Drew killed himself. He wasn't wearing his life jacket and looked out of it, like he was making up his mind. I think he was just overcome with guilt and decided just to let go and fall into the river. I think the other guy didn't get to the cliff till after Ed climbed up. Also, I have to say Simone's comments about the justice system were a little misplaced. She was saying that they had the right to defend themselves and so shouldn't have to worry; the issue was that they shot him in the back and there were no witnesses. They were worried they couldn't prove it was self-defence and that a jury might not believe them. The justice system has a bunch of stuff wrong with it, but I didn't agree that we should do away with jury trials and go to judge-only, which is a growing opinion.

Matt Dellarosa

Well, since I know after this traumatizing movie you'll be ready to watch some more wilderness adventure movies let me make some recommendations.... The River Wild (suspense) The Edge (suspense) Into the Wild (Drama/True Story...Love this movie!! Please watch it) Wild (Drama/True Story) A Walk in the Woods (Drama/True Story) Jeremiah Johnson (Drama/Historical True Story) A bit off the subject but I also recommend watching Shooter starring Mark Whalburg and Ned Beatty. Great movie, political/crime thriller...sort of. You'll just have to watch it.

Matt Dellarosa

Simone, I share your natural fear of space too. Its a big nope for me. That being said I do recommend the movie Life with Jake Gyllenhall. Space horror if youre up for it.

Els

Ned Beatty was one of the great character actors. They need to see him also in RUDY.

Trevor S Bright

Don't forget Lotso Huggin' Bear in Toy Story 3.

Trevor S Bright

I was hoping the poster was the classic hands holding a shotgun coming out of the water.

Matt O'Keefe

They would like to see Rudy because they always enjoy seeing Sean Astin.

Adam

I second Into the Wild and The Edge

CouchCheese

Nah, I don't need to rewatch this. It's one of those films that I've seen once a long time ago, appreciated the craft and acting and whatnot, but it's not something I need to see again.

Jay

All these river movie recommendations and not one mention of 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God' Frankly, I'm depressed and ashamed

Simon Pegged Me

Nope, Ian Tellam, that's just the right amount of banjo nerd for our trivia. Thanks for sharing.

Matt Dellarosa

Really wish more people would react to Into The Wild. Its such an amazing film and story. So was Wild. They both have very similar themes.

Matt Dellarosa

Both Wild and Into the Wild are very special to me. Wild even more so. I read the book and watched the movie after a few months after my mom passed away. Which is the plot of the movie, Cheryl Strayed hiking the PCT after her mom's passing. Love both movies.

Matt Dellarosa

All jokes aside about the banjo scene, its one of the things that makes this movie so special. There's a brief moment of happiness and joy where you see even Lewis smiling a little. Followed by absolute madness and horror. Such a great contrast. Excellent movie.

Dan Holmes

For a nice Woods movie and a nice Space movie you should check out The Big Year and Rocketman (1997) respectively

MacGuffinStuff

It's always four dudes on a trip, LOTR, Hot Tub Time Machine, The Hangover, Stand By Me, Yellow Submarine. This trip was not my favorite but rewatching it was great because I always notice things that are new to me, especially in movies where there's a shocking element, you miss or forget the nuances. I hated the Burt Reynolds character before, this time he had more depth than I noticed, but he was a city boy trying to recapture the Daniel Boone spirit of self reliance, I get it. But as cold and bureaucratic as the human world is, nature isn't nice either, it's ALWAYS testing you, but it's beautiful. Nature knows what it's doing, I never do. I liked Lewis more on this watch.

Collinson

There's a film called "Without a Paddle" From 2004 that's a Seth Green and Matthew Lillard led comedy with a canoe trip. Just saying.

RickyTicky

You know that Jon Voit is Angelina Jolie's Dad. Definitely looks like her.

Cc Decc

This movie of course has the iconic scene, but when you look at the rest of it, its pretty standard survival "horror" if you will, with some nice whitewater canoeing shots. What makes it memorable was them (attention modern idiot filmmakers) spending the time to create 4 main characters with distinct personalities and them throwing them into a highly stressful situation and moral quandry (well, I didn't find it that big of a quandry given they tried to **** and kill their friends, but for the movie purposes the debate after the event was the best scene).

Hollis Hamilton

References to this movie are plentiful. Revisit Zombieland when Woody Harrelson enters the grocery store playing a banjo and tells the first zombie "you gotta purty mouth".

Cc Decc

Some more "water survival" movies to tickle George's drowning phobia: The River Runs Wild (1994) The Shallows (2016) All is Lost (2013) and as well, an interesting little recommend of a movie that might tickle BOTH George's drowning phobia and Simone's space phobia: Underwater (2020) its underwater (duh), but feels/plays out like space horror, and even surprises late with Cthulu references. Also has a unique intro that legitimately is video game inspired, in an interesting way. I don't think its a great film, but interesting.

Cc Decc

I walked part of the Appalachian Trail when I was younger (only about 500 miles), and back during the pandemic was heavily researching the PCT and thinking maybe...and then I snapped out of it and asked myself what i was trying to prove. Saw Into the Wild though. Liked it.

Al

Hard Pass. The movie perpetuated hateful stereotypes, used inappropriate humor in an assault scene, and was at the start of creating caricatures of masculinity to be deconstructed.

Owenrock1221

Drew (the guy with the guitar) is played by Ronny Cox who was also Leuitenant Bogomil from Beverly Hills Cop

Owenrock1221

also in The Toy with Richard Pryor

REDR58

Fortunately she doesn’t look like him now.

REDR58

“Wild” (2014) with Reese Witherspoon is great.

REDR58

Years ago, I found such a hunting arrow at the edge of our property embedded into a tree. I still have the arrow in a chest somewhere. Needless to say, hunting on our property was not permitted.

REDR58

“Hard up” for cash, as in he had none.

REDR58

Deliverance was Cox’ first movie. And he was also in Robocop and Total Recall, both movies watched here.

REDR58

Director John Boorman, also directed “Point Blank” (1967) with Lee Marvin. It’s a great movie your should check out. Boorman’s son Charley played Ed’s son seen at the end of this movie. I would never ask strangers to drive any car of mine like they are asking here. I don’t even like leaving my car with valets. Lewis’ bow is a Fred Bear "Victor Kodiak Takedown" recurve bow: https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/burt-reynolds-lewis-hunting-bow-from-deliverance-with-loa-from-director-john-boorman/a/997062-2072.s George, you can move all sorts of buildings, including a lighthouse: https://youtu.be/1Cn0yVIXGj0?is=QUf1tDZzwMNM9hll

Raven Blackrose

about the kids with deformities: The Appalachian communities are unfairly sterotyped as inbred, and in actuality victims of pollution, poorly regulated jobs, and lack of adequate healthcare.

Raven Blackrose

no judgement, just something I've noticed: George seems to apply Detached Action Hero Logic to everything. Judging characters actions in stressful situations against the standards of various RPG heroes, John Wick, Agent 47, MacGyver, and various Resident Evil protagonists. Even when the characters are housewives, kids, suburban schlubs, etc.

Matt Dellarosa

Ive heard that the Appalachian is much harder than the PCT. Most people dont finish it. A Walk in the Wood is based on the real life story of Bill Bryson who hiked part of it with a friend of his. Alot more comedy in that movie than the other two. They definately dont make it look easy.

Kinokind

Saw it in the theater. That was a tough decade. This, "Apocalypse Now," "Taxi Driver," "The Deer Hunter." Saw them all. "Klute," "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," "Midnight Cowboy." Yep, it was a feel-good decade for sure. And those of us from then, look at the films of today, and are just sad.

Cinebinge

Hi Raven, thank you for the feedback. It is certainly not my intention to do so but if possible i would love to know what was it I said that made it seem this way so that I can correct myself in the future. Thank you.

Raven Blackrose

Lol, apologies, wasn't any kind of judgement intended, or "mistake". We watch for raw opinions. Just interesting how different people judge and react to things. Everyone shouts at the screen for different reasons, or genres, or tropes. My trigger is usually idiotic Technical Gibberish. Yours is people being illogical.

Cinebinge

Oh no of course, however in an effort to be more clear with my intentions and in general be more clear with what I mean, I actually would love to know what made me come across this way so I know how to convey my points better.

Raven Blackrose

(Sometimes forget that tone and intent is hard to discern over the internet, and parasocial feelings need to be checked. What could be casual ribbing in person to someone known can be harsh or entitled in a churning sea of follwer comments.)

Shibby

Also has Burt Reynolds lol

Raven Blackrose

Ah, I suppose it's just some comments in action, horror, thrilers , etc. Expecting characters to take the most logical and useful course of action, from the perspective of someone who has much more fictional knowledge, has seen crime movies where a body is disposed of, action movies with desperate odds and how the scrappy heroes survive. Put another way, horror protaganists usually act stupid because they don't know they're in a movie. Apologies for any consternation caused. rock on, man.

Lana Gorgeous

I saw this movie when it first came out and I was horrified by it. Unfortunately several years later I became a survivor of r*pe. So I had to skip over that part when I just watched the movie with you guys. One piece of reality not totally represented in the movie, is Ed seems to be the one who was scarred the most psychologically. Bad dreams and all. But I can tell you, the person who seemed to be holding it together, Bobby, will have the greatest long term impact. that character will never be the same again, something called PTSD will be hitting him and when it does, it will be like a boulder landed on him and will impact every aspect of his life. It is something he may not survive. For a woman, for me , for many I have shared in support groups, this trauma can take away everything you are, it is that devastating. I can't imagine what it would do to a man, given the level of machismo most men try to exhibit. When Bobby told Ed that he would not see him for a while, in my mind he was saying goodbye for ever and if he did not seek or accept therapy, his life may have ended. If you want to see a pleasant Burt Reynolds movie you must watch Smokey and the Bandit. That is a comedy and so very good, staring with Sally Fields. and if you want to see a great Sally Fields movie Norma Rae where she got an oscar and Places in the Heart in which she was nominated for an oscar

megamoo chilli

I thought for the banjo scene he grabs the kids hand to shake it and the kid freaks out and screams. Maybe I'm remembering a parody or I saw a different version?

Lyle Morgan

I have, in fact, stood on the spot where they filmed the love scene on the Chattooga River in Georgia.

Monica Alarcon

No way!!! I never knew that was him!!! Btw, are you thinking of purchasing a second shed to bring you in line with your epiteth?

Kinokind

Oh, I forgot this "fun" fact: Monica Bellucci, who was the rape victim in "Irreversible," screened "Deliverance" as part of her preparation.

Litywinds

Here is a lighthearted canoe movie, you might like called River's End - 2005 - Sam Huntington, Barry Corbin, and Caroline Goodall star in this film about a teenager who lost his dad and his Sheriff grandfather teaches him about growing up by traveling down river in a canoe. That's for you Simone. No horrible visible bones or well that other scene in this movie.

Litywinds

actually I thought it would tie in with this movie and after I looked it up, it was in fact "Table for Five" with Jon Voight that he did several years ago. But at first I thought how funny as I thought the title of the movie was "Dinner for Five"

Happy Hanukkah

The next Boorman movie which they ***must*** react to is also the very next one he directed: Zardoz! :-P But I'll reluctantly settle for Excalibur (1981).

Jon

Don't know if they canoe do that without it winning a poll. XD

Helen Mucus

Concerning the song lyric, "hard up" means poor and "green backs" means money, 'cause American money's green, ya dig?

Thomas Young

My great grandfather was shot and killed in the mountains of North Carolina, They arrested the man that shot him, and they had to move him to the jail in another county because the people that knew my great grandfather formed a Lynch mob (both were white, just in case you might've though lynching was a term only used for black people) They were going the break him out of the jail and hang him right there. So the sheriff snuck him out and had him transferred. They then had the trial in the other county as well, specifically because they knew he wouldn't get a fair trial in that county. So that is certainly a real concern in sparsely populated rural areas, and they generally try to avoid that. For the curious, the trial hinged on whether or not the shooter (who was a game warden) was there on my great grandfathers property in his official capacity as a game warden, or if he was there for personal reasons. He was found not guilty, since he warned my great grandfather multiple times, and my great grandfather had a large rock in his hand and was approaching him, yelling at him to get off of his property.

Matrim

“I mean, he was still aiming a gun at you and shot at you” Yeah, because he looked over and saw a man with a bow at full draw pointed directly at him.

Matrim

The thing that you need to keep in mind about this story, which y’all seem to have not gotten on board with is that it’s deliberately ambiguous. You never know if the man Ed killed was the one who attacked them, you never know if Drew got shot, and you never know who (if any) of the men is the Deputy’s brother-in-law. I think the book makes this much more explicit, but the movie tries show it too with them debating whether or not Drew’s head injury was caused by a gun or a rock or whether or not the man Ed killed was just a hunter.

michael denny

If you needed more proof that Lewis is an idiot and a fraud survivalist, the man didnt bring a shovel.

michael denny

"I wonder what kind of bird that is.?" Simone it's a frog

headscratching

Have you seen the film? There are definitely some problematic stereotypes about rural populations present here, and those should not be overlooked. With that said, I don’t think your other two concerns line up with what actually happens the film. The only humor present in the assault scene is the sadistic joking of the two perpetrators and it’s played completely for horror, not laughs. And the film sets up the Burt Reynolds character as a toxic masculine character who ends up being humiliated in his hubris, finding himself powerless at the end of the film, while the other protagonists also are humbled and traumatized. None of the macho stereotypes are promoted or encouraged. At this point in 1972, toxic male stereotypes in films (dating all the way back to at least The Great Train Robbery in 1903 and becoming standard in D.W. Griffith’s films including Birth of a Nation in 1915) had been played out for so many decades that having a film like this with four men at the center doing stereotypically ‘manly’ things would have been assumed by most going in to be a continuation of the kinds of masculinity displayed in the films of Charlton Heston and John Wayne. The fact that those illusions of strength are so profoundly subverted here presented to the audience a deeply humanist portrait of vulnerable men who were, if anything, trapped by the masculine expectations they had coming in rather than reveling in them as they were delivered.

headscratching

Bingo. The movie doesn’t let anyone out of anything easily without troubling reflections, not even the audience.

Al

It has been a long time since I saw it. I was probably unclear that I am not a fan of seeing "masculinity deconstructed". To each his own. But it was definitely at the start of a trend in movies exploring similar themes
