“This divorce has less than two hours to live!” - Andrew on the script repairing DJ’s broken home

On this episode, we’re chatting about the Dwayne Johnson/Paul Giamatti disaster joint, San Andreas!

Is this outrageous geological event possible? Should DJ’s character take that helicopter for personal use? Does this film have one of the highest on-screen NPC death counts of any non-alien disaster film? Is this the most sexualized character DJ’s ever played? Is the Daniel Riddick character one of Cinema’s biggest cowards? Did we really need that little, British DSB? And why couldn’t The Rock and Paul Giamatti have had even one scene together? PLUS: The guys pitch a Tremors legacy sequel!

San Andreas stars Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Ioan Gruffudd, Archie Panjabi, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Art Parkinson, Will Yun Lee, Kylie Minogue, and Paul Giamatti as Dr. Lawrence Hayes; directed by Brad Peyton.

Wait, Kylie Minogue is in this thing?!?

Another example of Giamatti hiding under or inside something to avoid mass destruction? And not in an ancient aliens ship this time while trying to avoid being seen by God's eye as it destroys all of creation?

President brother and President Nerd road trip spin off

My wife and I actually love this dumb movie. Definitely a brains off kind of flick. I will say Rock and Carla Gugino actually have good chemistry. They're in Race to Witch Mountain together and they're pretty good in that as well.

In the WHM canon, President Brother is Dick Hotdog

I was *absolutely* also thinking of Beavis and Butthead during the Hoover Dam sequence, but I was also (unfortunately) thinking of Vegas Vacation too. "Where's the damn dam tour?"

Titanium teeth are pretty common for cop and military dogs to keep them from retiring because the shit they do destroys their natural teeth.

This was the phase of DJs career where it was like he was just playing GM mode on Madden; Skip the actual sport, concentrate on dealmaking.

It such a common trope in modern American cinema that any kind of behaviour can be justified because “family”. Mike Myers could redo that Austin Powers scene with Rob Lowe and the henchman’s buddies for the modern action/disaster movie.

Matzar

Roger Ebert could’ve directed this movie

Boys Kylie Minogue was in it because they filmed in Australia and production realised she was in town so they asked her to play the role, like a day shoot. I only wish there’d been more of her!
