“This becomes a sitcom!” - Eric, on this sequel’s goofiness

On this week’s episode, the gang gets into action mode to talk about the incredibly silly sequel, Lethal Weapon 3! Why can’t Roger Murtaugh take a bath IN PEACE?! Did they really have to amp up all the grab-ass in this one? How is this evil ex-cop sneaking into all these high security areas like he’s some kind of ghost? What were they thinking with Pesci’s hair? And why couldn’t we see Rene Russo’s Lorna Cole playing that Three Stooges CD-ROM game? PLUS: How many people said HARD PASS before they cast this villain?

Lethal Weapon 3 stars Danny Glover, Mel Gibson, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Stuart Wilson, Darlene Love, Traci Wolfe, Damon Hines, Ebonie Smith, Mary Ellen Trainor, Mark Pellegrino, and Steve Kahan as Captain Murphy; directed by Richard Donner.

Cool, hope 2 isn't too far in the future now. That's always been my favourite of the 4.

Laughing when you guys bring up Lochlyn Munro. Inexplicably he continues to sneak around the film and TV industry. One of his bigger roles in recent years was as Betty's dad in that Riverdale TV show where you better believe he is secretly a serial killer.

Deeply ironic that Senator Steve blithely ignores the order of one of the biggest, and numerically ordered, franchises of all time. He’s just bipping and bopping around as if these are called “Lethal Weapon: Justice Awakens” or whatever. Like a conservative senator caught dipping their wick at sex parties.

Craig

After Young Einstein, Mad Max 2 and now Mel’s slipping accent in this, really enjoying getting my fill of your efforts at the Australian accent!

2, is probably the closest action genre “I Got It By the Way”

We Hate Movies

Yeah, it's a WLM at some point down the line! - Andrew

Eren Keskin

Was Pesci filming a Billy Idol biopic at the time?

MarkNM

Of course this made money, the LAPD was all the rage in 92! Tell me, where were you?

Matt Reid

Laughed too about Loclyn Munro, he does pop up everywhere. Just watched a movie starring him and Lou Diamond Phillips on Tubi from the 90's; "Knight Club". It was hilariously bad, and a great high watch.

Blake Snyder, the “Save the Cat” guy, not only wrote Blank Check. He wrote “Stop or my Mom will Shoot!”. I have no idea why people took screen writing advice from this hack

Jan

Fantastic movie of course

I think I need some legal advice from the community here. I just murdered someone in a police station, tons of people saw my face and can identify me and I'm sure the cops will be after me since I signed my name on a registry to see the guy I killed. I have these tickets for a pro hockey game later this evening, do you all think it's a good idea or a bad idea that I go to this extremely public event?

James Caan was in The Dark Backward in 1991, I think he might’ve said yes to this

Matt

Hockey nerd (Canadian) here - the jerseys are indeed weird. The ones in the long shots are right, but when Leo is (not) dying on the ice they're some off brand nonsense. Also Toronto is wearing what we would call the home colors now in this, because from the early 70s to 03/04 NHL home sweaters where the white ones and the away jerseys were the darker colors. Go Oilers

Hard To Gwil

Speaking of unhinged, who the hell is bringing any food into a bathroom, let alone a goopy ass birthday cake? Also, I know it's a movie pod but thanks for the son of a cop talk Andrew, super interesting. Awesome ep.

Kureigu

I'll look forward to the bomb under the toilet jokes 😃

Paul

Please do Lethal Weapon 2. 🙏🏽

John Edwards

The Blake Snyder bit made me cackle, because there was a game released last year (Forspoken) with a notoriously bad script that opens up with the protagonist choosing to save her cat from a fire instead of a big sack of cash. This guy's a multimedia menace!

Craig

I’d never seen any of Pesci’s Scorsese movies prior to seeing him in Lethal Weapon, so had a hard time believing anyone could ever find him scary (until I finally saw Goodfellas).

Noura Sarayel

2 might be my favorite Lethal Weapon movie. It hates apartheid so much 🥲❤️

William K. Wolfrum

Re: Hockey. Gretzky had signed with the Kings who where owned by massive fraudster and attention worry Brucd McNall, so L.A. hockey was a bigger deal.

William K. Wolfrum

In summation, your Mel Gibson impression was spot-on Rhys Darby.

Matthew Lloyd

Also played Dr Hatcher in Hot Fuzz.
