[00:00] Let me tell you something, people. When you have a bad hire at your job, it wrecks everything, okay? It costs you time, it costs you money, it costs you momentum. And when you're a small business, you can't afford that. You need a good hire and you need it right away. But finding great talent isn't easy. So that's where LinkedIn's new hiring pro can screen candidates for you. So instead of sorting through applicants, you spend time talking to the right ones.

Speaker 1:
[01:37] Next time, put on some underwear. We saw Live Wire, so you know what that means. We are live at Largo to talk about the 1992 Pierce Brosnan classic, Live Wire. A movie that I didn't know existed until today. And boy, oh boy, I regret that. Now if you've not seen Live Wire, what do you need to know? Well, Pierce Brosnan's star is Danny, a bomb expert who's got two big problems. Someone's blowing up senators, and one of those senators is fucking his wife. Also, the bomb is kind of just something that you ingest, and I guess you become the detonator. I don't know. And a lot of the times in this movie, they just go, yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't, we can't figure it out either. It just happens. Go with it. And we do. And it's great. And we are gonna break this down for you. It's got a great cast. Of course, actor, activist, Ron Silva. I'm still committing to the Silva is in this film. Great, great performance by him. Oh, so many great people. So many bombs. So many upskirt shots. Weird. But let's break it down with the best. Please welcome my cohost tonight, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas.

Speaker 6:
[04:18] What's up, jerks? Let's go, let's go, Largo!

Speaker 2:
[04:24] Ooh, we got a good one. We got a good one. Pierce Brosnan's so angry, he's getting cucked. He's got to save the guy who's fucking his wife.

Speaker 5:
[04:38] Holy shit.

Speaker 1:
[04:40] I'm so into this version of Pierce Brosnan because it's like he was trying to do something.

Speaker 2:
[04:48] Imagine a world in which you're like, I'm Pierce Brosnan. My wife is fucking actor activist Ron Silva. And what's hap... What world am I living in?

Speaker 1:
[05:00] We'll break it down in just a bit, but just kissing is what he says at one point.

Speaker 2:
[05:06] Oh my God. When he comes back out of the elevator to tell the security guard, they weren't fucking, they were just kissing. Just kissing! The security guard should have killed him.

Speaker 1:
[05:18] And the way that he says it, like, they were just kissing. It was like they weren't even using tongue. It was a very polite kiss.

Speaker 2:
[05:26] I lost respect for him in that moment immediately. Ron Silver is alphaing James Bond?

Speaker 6:
[05:34] What planet are we on?

Speaker 1:
[05:36] This is a year after Mrs. Doubtfire and a year before James Bond. A weird outlier in the Pierce Brosnan catalog. But boy, oh boy, you know, when there's a bomb movie, we call a How Did This Get Made expert. She's joined us before on such films as The Specialist. You also know her from her amazing podcast. And the show Nailed It, please welcome Nicole Byer!

Speaker 8:
[06:22] That's so nice.

Speaker 9:
[06:24] Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1:
[06:25] Nicole. Nicole, Nicole, Nicole.

Speaker 2:
[06:29] You're welcome.

Speaker 1:
[06:32] I feel like this movie has got a lot of things that you might like.

Speaker 9:
[06:34] Hey, I loved it. I will say this. I've never seen James Bond, and I probably won't now.

Speaker 2:
[06:41] By the way, that's fine.

Speaker 1:
[06:43] By the way, he only represents a small part of the James Bond story.

Speaker 2:
[06:46] And I would probably argue one of the weaker parts.

Speaker 1:
[06:50] Sure.

Speaker 9:
[06:50] Oh, dang. He's the whole thing, though.

Speaker 2:
[06:54] Well, I love that you think that.

Speaker 1:
[06:57] We can break down James Bond later. But yeah, so go ahead.

Speaker 9:
[07:00] Also, I like the senator because it looked like somebody just placed that wig on his head.

Speaker 6:
[07:05] Yeah. That wig never fit right.

Speaker 2:
[07:08] That hair was wild.

Speaker 9:
[07:10] It looked like a Fisher Price person. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[07:14] You can swap out the hair? Yes.

Speaker 1:
[07:16] It had a weird heart to it. And it was like, he allowed that to happen.

Speaker 2:
[07:21] Well, it's also a period that we've talked about this before, before hair products could hold things in place. So during the action set piece, his hair is doing this. It's like flouncing around in a way that is terrible looking.

Speaker 9:
[07:39] It looked like a hair commercial. It was just like flowing.

Speaker 2:
[07:43] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[07:43] I wonder if that was his own piece. He had a caller call into Last Looks who talked about working on Al Pacino's hair. And when he sat in the chair, he had already done it. And then she like went to go touch it. He's like, I think it's great. And she was like, oh. And then she was, oh, OK. He's like, yeah, it looks great. But she never touched it. And then the producers came in. They were like, did you do Al Pacino's hair? It looks terrible. And she's like, he likes it. They're like, OK, we won't say a word. So I do feel like there is a world in which Ron Silva, I think it looks fantastic.

Speaker 3:
[08:20] Yeah, I think it looks great.

Speaker 9:
[08:22] We gotta keep men away from hair.

Speaker 1:
[08:25] I've been saying that for years.

Speaker 2:
[08:31] I think most men have a fundamental misunderstanding of how hair works, unless they're going to Turkey to get it. In which case they're obsessed with how their hair works.

Speaker 1:
[08:42] Oh, and they will tell you about it.

Speaker 2:
[08:44] I would love to talk to you about it.

Speaker 1:
[08:46] And then pretend like they never went to Turkey four months later. I've always had this head of hair. What?

Speaker 2:
[08:52] What do you mean there was this couple of months where I only wore a fedora?

Speaker 9:
[08:57] I feel like you're talking about someone very specific.

Speaker 1:
[09:00] It's really everyone. There are pictures of men coming back to the states from Turkey, and it's, they're all wearing the same fedora. And they're all slightly damaged.

Speaker 2:
[09:09] You get it in Turkey. The turkey fedora market is off the charts.

Speaker 1:
[09:14] You get a free fedora with every hair dress.

Speaker 2:
[09:18] The follicle fedora.

Speaker 1:
[09:21] You know...

Speaker 2:
[09:25] I've missed you.

Speaker 9:
[09:25] I like that alliteration. It was nice, and they did not appreciate it.

Speaker 2:
[09:30] These fucking idiots don't even get it. They don't even understand alliteration. They're dumb. They're just the clowns.

Speaker 1:
[09:38] When you drink your water tonight, you'll fucking learn.

Speaker 2:
[09:45] Nicole has clocked Jafar.

Speaker 10:
[09:47] I thought that was hyperbole.

Speaker 9:
[09:50] I was like, ha ha, no!

Speaker 1:
[09:52] So Nicole, if you're just listening, has clocked. But I realize at the top of the show, you know her as Jafar. Jafar is in the crowd tonight dressed as a full clown from the film. And when you see her, it is shocking because out of the corner of your eye, you're like, oh, God.

Speaker 9:
[10:08] Also, you know her as Jafar?

Speaker 1:
[10:10] Yeah. It's a longer story. I could tell you a lot I know about Jafar.

Speaker 2:
[10:17] I'll be honest. I wish I knew less about Jafar.

Speaker 1:
[10:21] Jafar has been around.

Speaker 9:
[10:22] We know a lot. Wait, is Jafar your government name?

Speaker 1:
[10:26] Jafar was the first costume that she ever had, and she's never lost that name. But it's not Jafar even from Aladdin. It's Jafar from a bad Hercules movie. We got it.

Speaker 2:
[10:35] The show's over.

Speaker 1:
[10:39] Okay, so tonight we have a very special guest. You know him from such things as the Jackass franchise, also from the brand new Fear Factor. Please welcome Johnny Knoxville.

Speaker 11:
[11:12] I have to say, just kissing better than getting effed, but just by a little.

Speaker 2:
[11:18] Yeah, but I mean, like, we're not, he doesn't, do we think he really thinks they just kissed? Then he sees Ron Silver's bedroom later, and is like, come on, I mean, he's got, like, some sort of in.

Speaker 1:
[11:33] I will.

Speaker 2:
[11:33] Not to jump ahead, but, like, it's clearly some sort of in.

Speaker 1:
[11:38] I do, well, if we're jumping there, I do need to ask a question. This is great, this is the first time my son has come to see a show, and we started with this. He puts his hand in the jar of Vaseline.

Speaker 2:
[11:53] I mean, I've already, get tested, Pierce. What are we doing?

Speaker 1:
[11:59] He puts it all in there, and I wrote this down because he says, he wants to make sure I have it right, he goes, planning a party. Now, planning a party would mean, well, I couldn't figure out, was there not enough petroleum jelly in there, or there too much, or it was-

Speaker 2:
[12:18] I felt like that was a bad joke because planning a party suggests ditty level loo.

Speaker 1:
[12:23] Right. That's what I saw.

Speaker 9:
[12:25] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[12:26] AKA DLL. But this just was a slightly used normal tub of Vaseline.

Speaker 1:
[12:34] Well, it should have been like, how was the party? Like, you should have said it like it already had happened.

Speaker 9:
[12:39] Well, I just thought it was very full because what he splatted out was a lot. So I feel like he was like, oh, there's still a lot of Vaseline.

Speaker 2:
[12:47] I like the word splatted. I just really want to highlight it because boy, it's dynamite.

Speaker 9:
[12:53] Well, that's what it was. It was splat.

Speaker 2:
[12:55] Splatted.

Speaker 9:
[12:56] I feel like he saw all of it and he was like, well, maybe he'll have a fisting party soon. Right.

Speaker 1:
[13:01] Look, this is where his money goes.

Speaker 9:
[13:03] Your son likes that joke, right?

Speaker 11:
[13:06] But this movie is the master of the non-joke joke.

Speaker 9:
[13:09] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[13:09] Oh, yes. There are so many. Now, Johnny, you also love bad movies. I know we've talked about this a little bit. Have you ever heard of Live Wire before today, before it was assigned to you?

Speaker 11:
[13:19] I was elated and also upset that I'd never seen it because it is magical. Wow.

Speaker 1:
[13:27] The premise of the movie, and I know I said this in the beginning, but it's like basically water, it's a water bomb that when it goes in your stomach, the person explodes and it's deadly serious.

Speaker 2:
[13:40] And also I loved it. I loved how clean it was. He's a bomb diffuser, but the bomb is just a glass of water. Now you're really fucked.

Speaker 6:
[13:53] Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[13:54] It also was only I think an hour and a half, real quick.

Speaker 2:
[13:57] You're right.

Speaker 6:
[13:59] I loved it.

Speaker 1:
[14:00] Quick question, the movie starts off with Pierce with a band-aid on the bridge of his nose that is never spoken about, justified. I was like, oh, at one point we're going to find out, oh, Ron Silva punched him in the face or something.

Speaker 9:
[14:14] Nope, nope.

Speaker 11:
[14:15] They bring up a lot of things once that never figure into the movie ever again.

Speaker 2:
[14:20] But it also is a world that is like, it's DC, it takes place in DC, a city that seems to have non-stop bombs. There are both the bombs you would anticipate that might be part of the nation's capital. Okay, attacks on the infrastructure or something like that. But then there are also bombs just for cheating wives.

Speaker 6:
[14:47] I mean, these guys are fucking busy.

Speaker 2:
[14:50] They're booked and busy, these bomb diffusers.

Speaker 11:
[14:53] And everyone's, all the other bomb diffusers are in full gear, except for Pierce Brosnan. He's in skinny jeans diffusing bombs.

Speaker 2:
[15:01] Well, I think we're meant to believe he has nothing left to live for.

Speaker 11:
[15:04] Oh, okay.

Speaker 2:
[15:05] So he's like, fuck it, I'm going in raw.

Speaker 1:
[15:08] But he also, it's like, no one ever takes a beat to go like, this is crazy that this woman has a bomb under her seat. Yeah. And how did she find it? It seems like in the middle of the ride, she was like, oh, wait a second.

Speaker 2:
[15:23] And her bomb was a classic sticks of dynamite, acme level bomb.

Speaker 11:
[15:31] Yeah. And spread your legs, spread your legs.

Speaker 1:
[15:33] Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[15:36] He's diffusing. So he's diffusing the bomb like this. Yes. It's insane.

Speaker 9:
[15:45] And he's staring at her naked pussy the whole time. Because he was like, next time, wear some underwear. And I was like, God, she must have been dripping wet. She was either like...

Speaker 2:
[15:56] There it is. I just now also want to call attention to her necklace.

Speaker 9:
[16:05] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[16:06] Because this is some next level nonsense. This is the only person who's dressed like this in the whole movie. She appears to twice drive into this movie from another movie.

Speaker 1:
[16:25] And I'm realizing that now, when we meet him, he is self-destructive. I think they're trying to capture a little lethal weapon energy.

Speaker 12:
[16:34] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[16:34] Yes. But at the end of the movie, he seems exactly the same.

Speaker 11:
[16:37] Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[16:37] Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[16:38] He's hyper aggressive. He gets hit with a restraining order right off the bat. I'm like, that's a really aggressive.

Speaker 9:
[16:44] And it proves why there's a restraining order.

Speaker 11:
[16:47] He's like, I'm still fucking married to you, and this is my fucking garbage can.

Speaker 9:
[16:52] And then they're like, my dead daughter.

Speaker 2:
[16:58] I did not see that flashback coming at all. Pierce Brosnan is racking up L's over and over. He has almost no wins in this movie.

Speaker 1:
[17:10] But the way that they, like, it's so funny, because the wife seems to be over the dead daughter. She's like, look, it wasn't your fault. And he's like... Kind of was. It really was. He was like, one second, and then she... But I don't know why that daughter just jumped in the pool in the back either.

Speaker 9:
[17:25] Well, the wildest part was he had the dog with him, but not his daughter. So he was playing with the dog as she's dying?

Speaker 1:
[17:34] He left her there for a long time.

Speaker 2:
[17:37] It's hard because, like, I think the movie wants him to be, like, a complicated...

Speaker 1:
[17:42] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[17:42] Like, he fucked up. He's like Riggs in Lethal Weapon, but Pierce Brosnan is just too Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 1:
[17:49] Oh, but there's multiple scenes where he's just like... Like, just staring at the city of DC., like, I can't get over this. But he is...

Speaker 2:
[17:57] As we get into it, could you... Would you mind... I think you have the text that opens the movie.

Speaker 1:
[18:03] Yes. Of course.

Speaker 2:
[18:05] Only because I think this is imperative that for people who may not have watched the movie, you understand how this movie starts. Because I saw just this text and it was like, oh, no. Here we go. You ready? Over the last decade, more than 3,600 lives worldwide have been lost as a direct act of terrorism. Nearly every country on the globe has its share of political kidnappings, hijackings, and fire bombings, with one notable exception, dot, dot, dot, the United States of America. This movie came out in 1992. I've got an update. I'm going back to the text. Due to a stable political system and the difficulty of smuggling easily detectable incendiary devices into the country.

Speaker 1:
[18:59] This is my easily detectable.

Speaker 2:
[19:02] All right.

Speaker 1:
[19:02] Well, yes.

Speaker 2:
[19:03] The United States has been relatively safe, dot, dot, dot, until now.

Speaker 11:
[19:09] And then cut to this.

Speaker 1:
[19:14] Where's the fucking underwear?

Speaker 2:
[19:16] And her line, when she, when he's between her legs, your line is like, you have one affair and your husband puts a bomb into your chair.

Speaker 1:
[19:25] And again, it's not, it's like, yep, all in a workday. Because then he jumps on a helicopter, flies to another bomb scene. These motherfuckers do not care about crime scenes at all. They're just, no gloves, smoking in explosion crime scenes seems bad.

Speaker 2:
[19:41] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[19:41] They are multiple times, cigarettes are like, yeah, what happened? The thing is still smoking. They're sitting in a smoking car like, yeah, this is fucked up. It's like, well, yeah, get out of the car.

Speaker 2:
[19:51] Was anybody else obsessed with Chekhov's bomb robot?

Speaker 6:
[19:57] Oh, Madonna?

Speaker 2:
[19:58] There's a fucking robot in this movie that they never use, no?

Speaker 1:
[20:04] They use it a couple of times. They open up its stomach and they put stuff in there.

Speaker 2:
[20:08] Yeah, they use it like they never, they keep foregrounding it in these scenes where you say, would you get your robot out of my way or fuck your robot or whatever? And I'm like, you know what? This robot's gonna come in handy. And I think I'm so fucking clever thinking this movie, nope, the movie's like, no, fuck the robot. We don't see it again.

Speaker 11:
[20:25] But he got that one good line in, oh, I feel like I'm lost in space.

Speaker 1:
[20:30] Well, this is it, like, I feel like they gave him, like, all these things that you would never see. It's like, what'd you see that on CNN? What about on Ed McMahon's Celebrity? What is this? He always was, like, cracking these jokes, like, but then when there's a perfect moment to crack a joke, he doesn't. It's like, what are you, a boy scout? And he's like, yeah. Like, wait, no, perfect opportunity for a joke. Yeah, and I got a mirror that's kicking ass.

Speaker 2:
[20:57] Yeah. He also tries to sell jokes that aren't jokes. When they're like, hey, when he helps the woman between her legs, then they're like, OK, there was an explosion in a restaurant. We're going to put you in a chopper and get you over there. He goes, I love Mondays. Oh, yeah. And a big smile like I just like crack. These guys are going to go home and be like, Dan said the funniest thing today. He's like, basically, my buddy Dan at work is like the anti Garfield.

And he's got all these witticisms, but he also comes off super weak. Like when he does come out of the elevator and tell, I know we are gonna harp on this a few times, but there's just kissing. There's no weaker thing to say. It's not cool. It's not clever.

Speaker 2:
[25:31] I mean, inarguably, the movie is about a man who is being cuckolded by the man he's trying to save.

Speaker 1:
[25:41] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[25:41] And that is the story. Like the bad guys are so not really delved into very much because we spend so much of the time with Ron Silver. That is the story. Right?

Speaker 1:
[25:55] Yeah, and I would also say, you know, like if he would be so much happier if he just kind of embraced the robot who was a little bit of a perv, when the robot was pinching his ass and they go, I don't know, the robot has a mind of its own. And I was like, does the robot have a mind of its own? Because the movie doesn't like wink and say it doesn't. It's like, I think the robot is sexually attracted to Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 9:
[26:17] Who isn't?

Speaker 2:
[26:18] I would love that. Wolf. Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[26:20] Can we go back to the elevator for one sec? So the door's closed. Is this man's ear pressed up against the door? Being like, are they gonna say something about my wife? I'm not that man! What?

Speaker 2:
[26:31] Here we go.

Speaker 1:
[26:32] What?

Speaker 3:
[26:33] That's the guy who found Sonny Travera's his wife.

Speaker 1:
[26:36] No shit.

Speaker 2:
[26:39] Okay.

Speaker 12:
[26:43] You weren't. So we're kissing, okay? So next time you go spreading rumors about my wife, check the facts with me first.

Speaker 3:
[26:53] Yes, sir.

Speaker 6:
[26:55] Thank you. What?

Speaker 2:
[27:02] How can I root for this guy? He's in there so long. So we're to believe he goes in the elevator, pushes one. Does he go up a floor and come down a floor? Like, I wish, I almost wish he'd come out the stairs door. Hey, hey, hey, I heard what you said. An emergency stopped on three and ran down. Just a heads up, it was just kissing, no tongue. And some light over the shirt stuff.

Speaker 1:
[27:32] I do just, I mean, but again, why would they know this? Like, Ron Silva's a low level, like, senator. He's a lower level cop. It's like, this would not be the talk of anyone.

Speaker 2:
[27:43] But yet it is the talk of the town.

Speaker 1:
[27:47] Everyone knows.

Speaker 2:
[27:47] FBI bomb diffuser, Dan, what's his last name? O'Neil's. Danny O'Neil's wife is fucking senator, actor, activist, Ron Silva. In a way that it really is, it made me laugh and I was like, oh, I wish that they had known. And so that later when people are saying, because this continues, everybody is gossiping, that they're fucking. I wish people would be like, oh no, I heard it was just kissing. I wish that it had like a cumulative effect and it had continued to radiate out like that.

Speaker 1:
[28:27] Oh my gosh. So he, I mean, I want to go back to what Nicole was saying. He deserves a restraining order. Yes. He is abusive to his wife. When he comes in, I'm like, yeah, get away. He's a bad dude. Cause he's like, this is still my house. And I don't know when they were divorced. Cause he says it's his wife. He's wearing the wedding ring. They're not divorced, right?

Speaker 9:
[28:47] I think they're separated, but he does have a whole other apartment.

Speaker 1:
[28:51] Right.

Speaker 11:
[28:52] Which is awesome. The house is amazing. The apartment, amazing.

Speaker 2:
[28:56] Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:
[28:57] Apartment though, it's like, he's complicated because one of the pieces of furniture is just a wood box. Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[29:03] But it was a really nice apartment and they made it, tried to make it look tough by when he opened the front door, you saw graffiti on the outside wall.

Speaker 2:
[29:11] Like how much does he make as a bomb diffuser?

Speaker 1:
[29:15] And by the way, he's not even a bomb, he works for the FBI, he's carrying a gun, right? He is like, what is he? Because he's not like, a bomb diffuser, I don't think is going on stakeouts, he's staking out.

Speaker 2:
[29:24] Well, they keep saying to him too, like you don't have to do this anymore. You basically, that's why we made you an FBI agent, so you cannot do this. And he's like, I want to die. I mean, it basically is like, I want to die in a bomb.

Speaker 1:
[29:41] The movie is also very confused about when it's night and when it's day. The bad guys are talking to Ron Silva and there it's thunderstorm, it's dark, it's night, they cut to Ron Silva, he's in an office during the daylight. And then at the end of the scene walks to the window, he's like, oh, it's about to rain. So then I'm like, where the fuck are we? Are they that far away from each other?

Speaker 2:
[30:06] It's that DC weather. If you want it to change, give it five minutes.

Speaker 1:
[30:10] But then they also have the scene at the end where it's like the radio DJ is like, it's four in the morning, so if you're up, just stay up. But then the scene before, the mom is still over the wife's house and she's like, what's been going on? You're up at three in the morning, you're hanging out.

Speaker 2:
[30:26] When they pistol whip that elderly woman, I have never been so turned on in my life.

Speaker 1:
[30:37] This movie is not afraid to make wild choices. Like pistol whipping a woman.

Speaker 9:
[30:42] My God, she flies and falls so hard.

Speaker 2:
[30:47] I was really looking at it to be like, is that a stunt? Did they swap it out?

Speaker 10:
[30:51] They killed a woman.

Speaker 2:
[30:54] It's executed well. I think they might have killed that old woman.

Speaker 1:
[30:57] Well, she actually had the same backstory as Danny, and she said she wanted to die on film, and so they let her do it. They also throw a kid out of a wheelchair in this movie.

Speaker 11:
[31:08] That was one of the highlights.

Speaker 9:
[31:10] It's so unnecessary.

Speaker 2:
[31:12] I'm so sorry to disagree with you, Nicole. It was so necessary so that they could load the clown into the wheelchair and wheel him away.

Speaker 9:
[31:22] But the way they do it, no one is hustling, and they're like, Dump.

Speaker 2:
[31:26] Yeah. Oh yeah. At this kid center, we need, we need, get this kid, dump the kid. Dump the kid, get the chair.

Speaker 1:
[31:35] When that kid hits dirt, and it doesn't seem like anybody like, is like, oh no, the kid.

Speaker 11:
[31:40] They're like, we gotta go.

Speaker 1:
[31:42] Like that kid would be dead. That kid is as rust as trampled at the end there.

Speaker 2:
[31:45] Oh, absolutely. And that's the thing is like, the stakes are so high because the, we, we've barely talked about the bad guys, which is very interesting. Because who, I don't know who they are.

Speaker 1:
[31:58] They all look alike.

Speaker 2:
[32:00] I don't know where they're from or what their agenda is. It seems to just be revenge because he's owed $10 million, which I mean is yes, a lot of money, but like he's blowing up like children's events.

Speaker 6:
[32:15] I don't know if it's that much money.

Speaker 9:
[32:17] Weren't they mad about a bill being passed or something?

Speaker 1:
[32:21] They wanted to pass the bill because if they pass the bill or they don't pass the bill, they get money, but then at the end of the movie, it's like, well, you have $10 million.

Speaker 2:
[32:28] Isn't that just what's happening right now?

Speaker 1:
[32:32] This movie is timeless.

Speaker 2:
[32:34] A very prescient movie.

Speaker 1:
[32:36] But then it feels like at the end of the movie, it's like, you got $10 million right here. So it's like, wait, did Ron Silva was going to pay the $10 million? I didn't understand.

Speaker 11:
[32:45] I'm a little punchy and I was about halfway through the movie before I realized that wasn't Timothy Dalton. By the way, I referenced Timothy to my wife. She's like, what are you talking about? That's Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 1:
[32:57] Pierce Brosnan, who did wax himself.

Speaker 9:
[32:59] Wait, who's Timothy Dalton?

Speaker 6:
[33:01] Another.

Speaker 2:
[33:03] I love this.

Speaker 1:
[33:04] Another James Bond.

Speaker 2:
[33:05] Timothy Dalton is another actor who played James Bond.

Speaker 6:
[33:10] Would you? Would you?

Speaker 2:
[33:13] Nicole.

Speaker 3:
[33:14] Wait, how many James?

Speaker 1:
[33:16] Wait, what were you going to say?

Speaker 2:
[33:17] Would you be surprised to find out multiple people who played James Bond?

Speaker 9:
[33:21] I thought it was just two.

Speaker 2:
[33:22] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[33:23] Who were the two?

Speaker 9:
[33:24] Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan. Okay. Oh, wait. And then that man.

Speaker 1:
[33:31] Timothy Dalton.

Speaker 2:
[33:32] That man.

Speaker 9:
[33:33] No, I don't know that man.

Speaker 2:
[33:34] That man, the sequel to the Marla Thomas Show.

Speaker 6:
[33:38] Oh, I love it.

Speaker 9:
[33:41] I love it.

Speaker 2:
[33:41] Let's see. What else do you know? What else do you know him from? And please keep doing the impression.

Speaker 9:
[33:50] What do I know him from? I have seen a movie with him. Someone say a movie. Nope.

Speaker 1:
[34:01] The Rocks. The Untouchables. Finding Forrester.

Speaker 9:
[34:07] Nope.

Speaker 2:
[34:07] Whose movie is Finding Forrester? Get that person out.

Speaker 9:
[34:17] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[34:17] Indiana Jones.

Speaker 9:
[34:19] Yes. Because I date a straight man, he was like, you got to watch Indiana Jones.

Speaker 1:
[34:26] Wait.

Speaker 2:
[34:27] You had to do it because you...

Speaker 9:
[34:29] He keeps showing me these movies that he's like, I like them.

Speaker 2:
[34:33] And you're blaming this because you're dating a straight man.

Speaker 9:
[34:38] A gay man would never.

Speaker 2:
[34:44] So I guess it's a real toss up. What are you going to choose? You have to watch Indiana Jones movies, but fuck a straight man.

Speaker 9:
[35:00] That was my choice.

Speaker 2:
[35:01] Yes, or watch what you want to watch, but not fuck a gay man.

Speaker 9:
[35:04] I don't think he'd fuck me. I think he'd go.

Speaker 1:
[35:07] And this is the dilemma. This is, this is it.

Speaker 2:
[35:09] This is the dilemma of our time. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[35:12] Oh, um, there. I love that you thought it was Timothy Dalton, and it could have been Timothy Dalton. There is something really interesting with him, which is like, he shaved his body for this movie, Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 9:
[35:25] Right.

Speaker 1:
[35:26] Poorly. Yeah, cause he's a, he's a hairy man, and he wanted to be a sexy guy. But that's what I think it is, that he's trying very hard to figure out what that sex appeal is.

Speaker 9:
[35:35] Wait, is that trivia, or do you, do you just know that?

Speaker 1:
[35:38] It is trivia, but then when I realized, I was like, oh, he is a hairy guy, cause he's like, well, take like, in Mrs. Dalfar, he takes off his shirt, he's a very hairy guy. And as somebody who has a hairy chest, I'm always clocking that, too. I'm like, great. Good on you. And this guy was like, wait, what happened to that hairy chest? I already saw Mrs. Dalfar, and then I read that this part, he wanted to create the sex appeal.

Speaker 2:
[35:57] Where did you read that?

Speaker 1:
[35:58] What?

Speaker 2:
[36:02] Where did you read that?

Speaker 9:
[36:03] Yeah, what's the source?

Speaker 2:
[36:04] Because you said, I read that he said that he wanted.

Speaker 9:
[36:07] Cite your source.

Speaker 2:
[36:08] And I'm just wondering, where is he talking about that?

Speaker 1:
[36:10] playgirl.com.

Speaker 11:
[36:11] It's a honcho magazine.

Speaker 1:
[36:16] It is on IMDb, as Jafar has told me.

Speaker 9:
[36:21] I can't believe there's a clown named Jafar here.

Speaker 2:
[36:28] We're through the looking glass.

Speaker 1:
[36:31] My favorite part is when Travarris is like, Ron Silva is like yelling at him, and he goes, if you need to leave, I can separate you from this. And then Pierce Brosnan goes, I'll separate you from your fucking life.

Speaker 6:
[36:46] And then Shane is in the background.

Speaker 1:
[36:49] His buddy's like, ha ha ha, you get him, Danny. He's like, it's not a joke, it's a real threat. And it's not even like-

Speaker 2:
[36:56] He frequently, frequently is begging Ron Silva to stop fucking his wife. He says it both to Ron Silva in person, and then also tells people who know Ron Silva, you tell him, he better stop fucking my wife.

Speaker 9:
[37:16] He also broke into his home while his wife was there, he was like, hey! Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[37:20] And it was basically like, just so you know, I can get in here.

Speaker 1:
[37:28] This is him kind of begging for it here.

Speaker 13:
[37:31] O'Neil, this is business. And you better learn to separate it from the other problems in your life.

Speaker 12:
[37:42] You touch my wife again, I'll separate you from the rest of your life.

Speaker 1:
[37:47] Face!

Speaker 2:
[37:51] It's also a very clumsy line.

Speaker 1:
[37:54] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[37:55] I'll separate you from the rest of your life.

Speaker 1:
[38:01] The whole movie feels like that level of first draft. It's like, oh yeah, well, placeholder for a more exciting comeback there.

Speaker 2:
[38:09] It's almost like he should have been a nerd who diffuses bombs, who doesn't quite have it all together, who doesn't have clever comebacks, who's just failing and flailing, but it's again, Pierce, it's never more clear than when you're cutting between Pierce Brosnan and Ron Silver, and you're like, what on earth is happening?

Speaker 1:
[38:35] Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[38:36] The only thing worse than Ron Silver doing the box try with your wife is doing it with that haircut, which I had the same exact haircut at that time.

Speaker 2:
[38:47] Please provide pictures.

Speaker 11:
[38:49] I tried to find them.

Speaker 1:
[38:50] I do think if you're, I think you should let her go. I think if your wife is fucking Ron Silva, you'd be like, you know, she's got bad taste. She's gone. Now, I don't understand why they are separated. It's because he can't get over the death of their daughter. But then when he saves the day, she's like, well, now I'm back in love with them. All right.

Speaker 11:
[39:12] When she hears about him saving the day, she's like on the fence, she comes to his apartment. But when she sees him saving the day, then the next thing you know, they're in the bathtub together. You're like a Cinemax sex scene.

Speaker 9:
[39:24] Oh, I couldn't believe that woman got in the tub with all her clothes on. I said, this is not reality.

Speaker 2:
[39:30] Oh, the minute I saw her fully clothed on the edge of the tub, I was like, she's going in. But even though this movie isn't in the 80s, there's a saxophone that's about to start playing. It does. And they have tender, slow sex for about 30 seconds.

Speaker 1:
[39:51] But it's also like a weird thing. It's like, well, you saved the day. I better put him in the bath and give him a massage. It's also like not sexy to be like, well, I got to give my man a bath. Ew. I don't know. Work into the bath. Do something else, but just don't give him a bath. She's behind him, Michael Scrubbio.

Speaker 9:
[40:10] I also love that it was a reveal. Like, they panned to him and then they kept going and I was like, oh no. Why isn't she in the tub with him naked?

Speaker 2:
[40:20] Right, right.

Speaker 1:
[40:20] Just cut to that scene. It's weirder. They have a weird relationship.

Speaker 9:
[40:24] And then her clothes come off slowly, then you see her fucking dick.

Speaker 2:
[40:28] Here's what I'll say also, like, I'm not rooting for them at all.

Speaker 1:
[40:32] No.

Speaker 9:
[40:33] No.

Speaker 2:
[40:34] I'm not invested in their relationship and I think they're better apart.

Speaker 1:
[40:38] It's weird. It's weird to me that their daughter died by drowning and the first time they're getting back together is in a body of water.

Speaker 2:
[40:46] Also, also, not for nothing, and I don't know how much time has passed, where's the dog? Where's the dog?

Speaker 1:
[40:57] It's the dog's fault.

Speaker 2:
[40:58] The dog is the one that tries to save the little girl.

Speaker 9:
[41:02] Maybe they fuck in the bathtub because it's exposure therapy.

Speaker 1:
[41:07] Now he's finally healed.

Speaker 9:
[41:10] They didn't like that.

Speaker 11:
[41:13] Is this thing on?

Speaker 1:
[41:16] But I was like, it is the promise of the premise, right? It's like, if you establish that there's a gun, it has to go off in the third act. So if you establish that he...

Speaker 2:
[41:25] That there's a robot, it needs to...

Speaker 1:
[41:27] Well, I was going to say, if you establish that he wants to fuck his wife again, he's got to fuck it. Like that scene feels like, oh, yeah, he's back. Like, we needed to see him fuck his wife. And I never would say that about any other movie, but I think you did need to see him do it all.

Speaker 9:
[41:43] I just don't get why she does it, because he's so mean to her. And then when she goes to his apartment, he's drunk, his tongue is literally out of his mouth. He's like, slurring. And then she's like, better fuck him. Like...

Speaker 7:
[42:00] Hey, everyone, it's me, Morgan Stewart, and I have a new podcast called The Morgan Stewart Show.

Speaker 14:
[42:20] Why have we asked our contractor we found on angie.com to be our kids' legal guardian? Because he took such good care when redoing our basement that we knew we could trust him to care for our kids.

Speaker 4:
[42:29] We only met a month ago.

Speaker 15:
[42:30] Angie, the one you trust to find the ones you trust.

[42:33] Find pros for all your home projects at angie.com. And now, the next chapter of The Cerda Counting Sheep. Hey, Uncle Number One, why aren't we counting anymore?

Speaker 16:
[42:41] Let me tell you a story. Long ago, Cerda invented the Perfect Sleeper Mattress.

Speaker 14:
[42:46] Oh, no.

Speaker 16:
[42:47] Oh, yes. It says the all new Cerda Perfect Sleeper with the Q4 support system has four in one perfectly interlinked coils that help relieve aches and back pain for perfect sleep night after night.

Speaker 17:
[42:59] We'll never get counted again.

Speaker 16:
[43:01] Uh, nope.

Speaker 17:
[43:03] Cerda, we make the world's best mattress.

Speaker 1:
[43:06] What I also think about this, like they're trying so hard to up the stakes. Yes, the senators are blowing up. Everything's blowing up. And then at one point, the senator, will you be at the the the event? He's like, yes, hundreds of children from all around the country have raised money for the DC. Kids Center. Why would the kids from around the country be? We got to help those kids in DC. It was such a weird thing.

Speaker 2:
[43:31] That's a complete waste of time. Also, let me ask you this, about the bad guys, is their headquarters the Washington, DC. Department of Water? When they drive into their abandoned warehouse headquarters, it appears as though it's the Department of Water. And I was like, oh, smart. They're putting their bomb water in the water supply of DC. No, that's not it. That's not what they're doing.

Speaker 10:
[44:00] Just one fountain.

Speaker 6:
[44:01] Yeah, just one fountain. Who's going to drink from the fountain?

Speaker 1:
[44:07] What's the plan?

Speaker 6:
[44:07] Wait, that's so funny. What was the plan?

Speaker 9:
[44:09] What's the plan?

Speaker 1:
[44:10] Oh, wait, I thought, wait, I thought that it was in the lemonade.

Speaker 9:
[44:14] Yeah, I did too.

Speaker 1:
[44:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9:
[44:16] Oh, my bad.

Speaker 2:
[44:18] Wait a minute. I think it's the fountain. This guy's flipping out.

Speaker 1:
[44:23] Because this is we got to get to. Yeah, yeah. I'll hold the mic.

Speaker 2:
[44:26] Can we get house lights?

Speaker 18:
[44:27] So basically, the stuff was in the water, and he was going to put the lemonade in. It was going to make the water in the fountain explode because the lemonade is acidic.

Speaker 11:
[44:38] Oh, yes, yes. It's like the only thing. The only thing that neutralized it was Alka-Seltzer, which you heard once and never heard again.

Speaker 6:
[44:47] They never did that.

Speaker 1:
[44:49] Why would I wanted them to shove an Alka-Seltzer into somebody's mouth?

Speaker 2:
[44:53] I thought the clown, when he's got the clown and he sees the guy's going red, he goes, hey, to the guy who's got the robot, hey, he's going to blow. And I was like, the robot's going to come in and put Alka-Seltzer into this motherfucker's mouth. No, no robot, no Alka-Seltzer, nobody.

Speaker 9:
[45:10] Wait, out of everyone who has seen this movie, did one person understand that the acid from the lemonade? Oh, okay, show-offs, yeah, right.

Speaker 2:
[45:21] All these assholes think they're so smart.

Speaker 1:
[45:25] I do love the bad guy's lair because it's very furnished office, but it's also in the basement of a water... They have a nice desk and file...

Speaker 2:
[45:35] What do they stand for? What is their agenda? What is their message? I understand he wants his 10 million, but there's so many other people that are dying for the cause. What's the cause?

Speaker 1:
[45:48] I don't know... The kid doesn't know. Another great move of not being a cool superhero is when he's trying to go to Traveris' house, there's a speed bump right before the house, so he's zooming in, like, slow down, go over the speed bump, and then he goes... Like, you can't look cool driving up and hitting a speed bump slowly. Well, I will slow down. This is gonna fuck up my engine.

Speaker 2:
[46:14] The fact that they made... So the two bad guys are, like, the guy in a suit, you know, like, the guy that's like, you better give me my $10 million. Mikkel, I think, is his name. You better give me my $10 million. I'm owed $10 million. And then his enforcer, who Jafar is dressed like... With the earring. Why they thought that he needed to dress up like... They were like, he'll dress like a clown. For the kids thing, we'll dress him like a clown. There's people doing all sorts of shit at this thing. This guy doesn't need to be dressed like the most chilling, upsetting clown.

Speaker 1:
[46:47] Wait a second, wait. I want to go back to that. So the clown was serving up lemonade. So was the idea, like, so no one had taken lemonade until that point?

Speaker 2:
[46:55] Nobody had mixed lemonade with the fountain.

Speaker 1:
[46:57] Yeah. No, no, but it would be your body.

Speaker 9:
[46:59] No, so the...

Speaker 18:
[47:00] The lemonade, the acid in the lemonade, like, because it's acidic, it would cause it to explode.

Speaker 9:
[47:05] So it's just lemonade, but the fountain is the bomb.

Speaker 1:
[47:08] So the plan... Okay, no, I understand, and I understand everybody saying it's stomach acid or lemonade, but was the plan to always just drive the lemonade cart into the fountain?

Speaker 2:
[47:18] They were gonna, yes.

Speaker 1:
[47:19] That's a bad plan. I mean...

Speaker 2:
[47:21] Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[47:22] They could have done that at any point.

Speaker 2:
[47:24] This was an instance where they didn't need someone to ingest the bomb. They just needed to mix the ingredients in the fountain, and it would have blown the whole thing.

Speaker 1:
[47:30] But it seemed like they could have just done that right away in the beginning.

Speaker 2:
[47:33] They 100... They... In fact, they should have.

Speaker 1:
[47:36] Because he goes... Because the clown is like, I'm going to go back in. And then the clown takes off his nose and hat, like, now I'm not fucking around. Like, but you are undercover as a clown. Now you've... Like, I love that he took off his nose to do the final...

Speaker 2:
[47:51] What was interesting to me is so much is made of, you know, a la the Hurt Locker, you know, Pierce Brosnan's ability to know and clip the right wires and all this bomb diffusion kind of stuff. He's so... He's the best. They keep telling us, he's the best at this. He's so good. He's in demand. Blah, blah, blah. But then they have invented a bomb he cannot do. He is powerless to the bomb.

Speaker 1:
[48:17] The only thing he can do is give it tums, which he does not do.

Speaker 2:
[48:20] Which he doesn't do. His pliers should be tums by the end of the movie. But all he can do is put a clown on a wheelchair and roll him away. That's like... He's doing the best that any of us would do.

Speaker 1:
[48:32] The only thing I like about the third act is that he just becomes MacGyver. He's like, here's a nail gun and I'll use this.

Speaker 11:
[48:36] Oh my god. Who has that much acetone at their house?

Speaker 9:
[48:41] Well, he was getting ready for a party.

Speaker 1:
[48:43] Here's some fertilizer in the kitchen.

Speaker 2:
[48:46] He makes electricity bombs. He makes a pipe bomb. He shoots nails.

Speaker 9:
[48:51] Right into someone's neck. Also, that man had fertilizer in his kitchen.

Speaker 1:
[48:57] Yeah. My favorite line is when he goes, are you insured? And he goes, no. What? Exactly.

Speaker 11:
[49:08] His accent is all over the place. It's like English. It's New York.

Speaker 9:
[49:14] But also, you don't have homeowners insurance?

Speaker 1:
[49:17] That's what I was like. How could you not have homeowners insurance?

Speaker 2:
[49:21] And also, does Pierce Brosnan care? But that's another joke line.

Speaker 1:
[49:28] Like, he needs the other, like, that's the thing. Like, when he goes, the Boy Scout was the same thing. It's like, it's like, it's like, oh, yeah, we'll put that in later.

Speaker 2:
[49:34] If I'm Pierce Brosnan and I'm in the guy's house that's fucking my wife and he says his house is not insured, I'm as quickly as possible destroying the house to the maximum ability that I have.

Speaker 9:
[49:47] I agree.

Speaker 1:
[49:48] Can we talk?

Speaker 2:
[49:48] Oh, go ahead. Go ahead.

Speaker 9:
[49:49] Well, I was just going to say, they painted over all that beautiful dark wood in that house. And I was genuinely pretty upset about it.

Speaker 2:
[50:00] Oh, no, they ruined a lot of original details. They did.

Speaker 9:
[50:04] That white banister, I said, why?

Speaker 2:
[50:06] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 9:
[50:08] All of the casings on the door, I said, why?

Speaker 2:
[50:13] I would love for this, this is your new podcast, where you watch movies and critique the interior design and the choice, the design choices they've made.

Speaker 11:
[50:23] Can we talk about Gwen? That was her mom, right?

Speaker 1:
[50:26] Oh, yes.

Speaker 11:
[50:26] She is such a social climber.

Speaker 1:
[50:29] Oh, she wants her to be with that guy. You should go. You should go to this weird man's house at three in the morning.

Speaker 2:
[50:38] Her reward is to be pistol whip, which is crazy. But yeah, she wants, and I mean, like, her daughter, I mean, how these are adult people. These are people who are very capable of making their own decisions, but she's like, you should go do this. You should. If your old senator boyfriend sends a man to come get you without telling you, you got to go.

Speaker 9:
[51:01] Well, the other alternative is a man who's mad at her and yells at her.

Speaker 2:
[51:05] I guess so. I mean, like, here's the deal. Choose neither. Choose yourself.

Speaker 1:
[51:13] She needs, she needs. I mean, she does. There's moments.

Speaker 2:
[51:16] She's also in a very similar situation in Beverly Hills Cop.

Speaker 1:
[51:19] Yes. Well, yeah, she's literally being held by the villain at the end. I do just want to, we'll get to the audience here in a second. I want to talk about the explosions, the first two explosions of the film.

Speaker 2:
[51:29] They're dynamite.

Speaker 1:
[51:30] Right. What I love.

Speaker 7:
[51:33] Hey ho.

Speaker 1:
[51:34] What I love about them is, yeah, the explosions are big, but they also felt like we do need to put a person right outside of it, we got to kill that person too. But there's a guy like, huh, I'm standing in front of a wrist, oh God. But then the other guy goes to the car, this is this guy.

Speaker 7:
[51:49] I love this. I love it.

Speaker 1:
[51:51] And now look at his hand. There's a hand, can you see that? I don't even know where that hand is coming from.

Speaker 9:
[52:00] But the best part is he gets up after it. He's absolutely fine.

Speaker 11:
[52:06] Yeah. And never do your stunts in slow mo if your stunt double looks like Shecky Green. Because he looks nothing like Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 1:
[52:15] Oh no. There is this one shot that I pulled. This is when they're falling at the end.

Speaker 19:
[52:20] This is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1:
[52:21] Yeah. Let's see if I can zoom in.

Speaker 9:
[52:24] Oh, that's, I didn't even clock that. That's so funny. That's neither of them. Also, is that Steve Carell?

Speaker 1:
[52:36] This looks like when you go to Universal Studios for the Waterworld stunt show, and the guy's like, I'm Kevin Costner.

Speaker 2:
[52:44] Honestly, that's Steve Carell. I'd rather watch this movie that stars these two guys. Look, I love that they were like, yeah, that wiggle worked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It works enough.

Speaker 9:
[52:58] It's so funny. It's like an Elvis wig from Party City.

Speaker 1:
[53:03] And by the way, they do kill Traveris, and he's not that bad. I mean, I guess he's a bad guy. I mean, his biggest crime, I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[53:11] I guess he seems to be somehow the villain of the arms deal.

Speaker 1:
[53:16] I guess.

Speaker 2:
[53:17] You know?

Speaker 1:
[53:17] He goes, I just was trying to get in a high-profile vote.

Speaker 2:
[53:20] No, I don't think we're meant, I don't think that's true. I think he's trying to talk his way out of it.

Speaker 9:
[53:25] He was laundering money. He was refurbishing his whole home to hide money.

Speaker 1:
[53:29] Yeah. But then that woman who wanted to fuck Pierce Brosnan too, she was like, hey, there's nothing on him. There's nothing there.

Speaker 9:
[53:36] Wait, that lady was so sad. She was like, well, I guess you won't fuck me.

Speaker 2:
[53:41] She was like, I got tired of waiting for you.

Speaker 6:
[53:47] How long was she waiting?

Speaker 2:
[53:48] He's been married until just recently when his daughter died.

Speaker 6:
[53:53] And then she was like, by the way, what are we up to here?

Speaker 2:
[53:59] Hey, I heard Mandy R.I.P.'d Let's Do This.

Speaker 1:
[54:03] The timeline of this movie might be three months from when the daughter drowned in the pool to now. It's very short.

Speaker 2:
[54:09] And the journalist is like, let's do this.

Speaker 11:
[54:12] Yeah, I was kind of pulling for her, him and the journalist or the bomb girl.

Speaker 2:
[54:17] Yeah, any, any.

Speaker 1:
[54:19] By the way, the bomb lab is in an office building with all windows. There's the full laboratory. I don't think this is healthy for the specimens or anything. And then they're showing them. He's like, I'm going to show you how this bomb works. Pierce Brosnan puts his fucking face up to the test tube. Like, I mean, look. You work with bombs. Don't do it.

Speaker 9:
[54:41] But also, we saw what the bombs do. They turn you into the devil. Yeah. And then you explode?

Speaker 2:
[54:49] I thought this was a great special effect. The people turning into the bomb.

Speaker 10:
[54:55] Yeah. Right.

Speaker 2:
[54:56] Bloodshot eyes. I thought this was great because the idea being like, oh, this is explosive. This is crazy. But that it is inside of people. It looked terrific. My favorite one was the judge.

Speaker 9:
[55:10] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[55:11] The judge was great.

Speaker 9:
[55:13] Because her back like rips open a little like pre-cum. And then it's like...

Speaker 2:
[55:18] And you can still get pregnant then.

Speaker 1:
[55:21] It's very...

Speaker 2:
[55:22] If you just are starting to leak a little bomb pre-cum, you can still get pregnant.

Speaker 1:
[55:29] I literally said to somebody backstage, is it okay for your son to watch the show? I go, we never talk about dirty stuff in this show. There you go.

Speaker 2:
[55:39] So many questions to answer on the ride home.

Speaker 1:
[55:45] But what I do love... I want to show that judge exploding, but what I do also love is like they run back into that courthouse and he's like, oh, there's still water in the jug. Really? Like, he's like, oh, here it is, the jug's still full of water. The whole fucking courtroom...

Speaker 2:
[55:59] Well, that's the thing is it's very good because each human body... Is this the explosion? Oh, fuck yeah. Vera Blair. Oh, fuck, I love her. So hot.

Speaker 20:
[56:13] Having said that, this is case 7487-4.

Speaker 2:
[56:17] Johnny, I want to see you with that hair.

Speaker 20:
[56:18] The people of the District of Columbia against Savio Capelli.

Speaker 2:
[56:29] Uh-oh, uh-oh. That looks great! I love it.

Speaker 8:
[56:54] Get the sentence around of here now, right now, right now, move!

Speaker 15:
[56:57] Get me out of here! Get me out!

Speaker 10:
[56:58] That floppy hair.

Speaker 15:
[57:25] Here's a shaky tree.

Speaker 2:
[57:33] That's from her!

Speaker 1:
[57:37] He stayed in front of that door for way too long.

Speaker 2:
[57:39] It's so much damage.

Speaker 9:
[57:42] So much damage, and I've been to court. Why was there a partition?

Speaker 1:
[57:47] I mean, I guess to stop assassinating, I've never seen that.

Speaker 9:
[57:50] Me either.

Speaker 11:
[57:51] I watch a lot of legal shows.

Speaker 2:
[57:52] If they're supposed to be bulletproof glass, it's not good.

Speaker 1:
[57:55] It melted very quickly.

Speaker 2:
[57:57] It melted immediately.

Speaker 1:
[57:59] Oh my gosh, I love that everyone also checks their watch. I got it. 30 seconds is quick. Like, just go. Like, yep, she drank it. I'm out.

Speaker 2:
[58:06] Pierce Brosnan clocks that. He clocks the guy getting nervous. He clocks her drinking the water, and he's still like...

Speaker 1:
[58:14] Here's the thing. If you're an accomplice to a villain, don't wear an identifying earring. I mean, he never took it out. Never. Let's go to the crowd here. Let's talk to you all. I'm sure that you all have points of view, ideas, questions. Obviously, you knew how the thing worked. All right. So we're going to go to you because you actually understood the evil plan. So what's your name? Alex. Okay, and Alex, and what's your question?

Speaker 18:
[58:38] So I reached out to my science teacher about bombs being ingested.

Speaker 1:
[58:43] How old are you?

Speaker 18:
[58:44] 15.

Speaker 1:
[58:45] Love it. You're as old as this show.

Speaker 2:
[58:54] Which is true and chilling.

Speaker 18:
[58:59] So basically, this is kind of a summary of what he said. So he said, the human body is mostly water, so it's not good for explosives. Explosives require fuel, oxygen and ignition, and the stomach doesn't have any of these.

Speaker 1:
[59:11] And you're writing him on spring break. He must think you're the coolest. He's like, wow, all right, yeah.

Speaker 18:
[59:16] I didn't tell him it was a movie.

Speaker 1:
[59:17] Yeah, yeah, no, I love it. I love that you just asked me this question.

Speaker 9:
[59:20] I didn't tell him it was a movie. You were just like, thinking about bombs.

Speaker 14:
[59:24] See you next week.

Speaker 1:
[59:27] You're going to get arrested.

Speaker 2:
[59:30] Super quick cue vis-a-vis school. Can a body be a bomb?

Speaker 9:
[59:42] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[59:42] All right, so yes, so basically can't work. Can't work. Okay, that's good. All right, yes. Hi, what's your name and question?

Speaker 19:
[59:49] My name is Sam. Assuming this bomb technology is real.

Speaker 1:
[59:54] Which we know it can't be.

Speaker 19:
[59:57] The villain was so upset about this deal and his $10 million, why didn't he just sell this technology to another country?

Speaker 2:
[60:04] I mean, he's obsessed with revenge.

Speaker 1:
[60:06] Right, because he didn't care. He just wanted, I mean, his word is more important than-

Speaker 2:
[60:10] Well, he wants to get $10 million off of an arms deal. He's sitting on a gangbusters bomb technology that he could sell for tens of millions of dollars if not more.

Speaker 1:
[60:21] But yet he kills the poor scientist. It's like, hey, I would love it if you gave me a check. I've been working real hard. He's like, I'm gonna fucking kill you.

Speaker 2:
[60:28] It's like, why?

Speaker 1:
[60:28] Why him?

Speaker 2:
[60:29] And he's like, do you have a pen? And then stabs him with his own pen.

Speaker 9:
[60:33] And then the other guy cleans it off like he's going to use it later.

Speaker 11:
[60:37] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[60:38] As if he's like, hey, this is a good pen.

Speaker 1:
[60:41] But also leaves him in the door frame of the elevator. So no one, every day people are just like, click, click, click, click. Why is this elevator not coming? Cause it's just hitting that dead body. Just boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 2:
[60:53] A lot of elevator work in this movie.

Speaker 1:
[60:56] Yes, hi, what's your name and your question?

Speaker 15:
[60:58] My name is Dan. I just want to know the lady in the car, what is her dating pool? Because this was pre-internet, so there's not a lot of instructions on how to make bombs, but those were relatively sophisticated bombs from both her husband. How do you know?

Speaker 2:
[61:11] How do you know? Busted.

Speaker 15:
[61:12] I asked my science teacher.

Speaker 2:
[61:13] Everybody look under your seats. He's back.

Speaker 1:
[61:18] But she learned her lesson. She didn't leave her husband, but she's still dating, like, because it's her boyfriend.

Speaker 2:
[61:24] But she said, this one's my boyfriend.

Speaker 1:
[61:26] So she's still cheating on him.

Speaker 2:
[61:27] She's still cheating on the husband.

Speaker 9:
[61:29] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[61:29] But the husband's not upset about it. The boyfriend is. I do. I also want to know her story.

Speaker 9:
[61:35] Yeah, I want to see her.

Speaker 2:
[61:36] She's a more compelling character. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[61:39] Well, I also love in that final scene where they're like, he's doing it, and then you're like, hey, buddy, you're going to be a dad.

Speaker 2:
[61:45] Your wife just gave birth.

Speaker 1:
[61:47] And he's like, I got to leave now. It's like, he seems surprised that he's a dad. Like it was delivered like, hey, you wouldn't have guessed it. Your brother just came in from Cincinnati.

Speaker 9:
[61:56] And then he runs to the hospital. Yeah. You don't see him get in a car, get on the bus. Nothing. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[62:04] It is confounding that he is.

Speaker 1:
[62:07] And again, a woman's car in the middle of a street, like just like she was driving her tick, tick, tick and called.

Speaker 2:
[62:14] I mean, when she goes home and her husband is like, how was your day? Is she like, there was a bomb in the car? Like, is she talking about it?

Speaker 1:
[62:24] Is she dating Dennis Hopper from Speed? And it's like the origin story?

Speaker 2:
[62:28] I wish that was a movie.

Speaker 1:
[62:30] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[62:30] Oh, yes. Hi.

Speaker 3:
[62:31] Adam, did you catch what Pierce said to her when he goes, your husband really knows what he's doing. This bomb is really cute. Was he talking about her pussy when he said that?

Speaker 1:
[62:46] You know what? No further. All right. Hey, what's up?

Speaker 2:
[62:52] So you're saying her pussy is the bomb?

Speaker 9:
[62:55] Yeah, all that and a bag of chips.

Speaker 15:
[62:57] Oh!

Speaker 2:
[63:00] Salt and Vinny? Oh, wow. That really...

Speaker 15:
[63:15] Whoa.

Speaker 11:
[63:16] It's got a wang to it.

Speaker 15:
[63:18] Oh, wow.

Speaker 5:
[63:19] That is sharp.

Speaker 9:
[63:22] If someone ever ate me out and went, mm, salt and vinegar, I would walk into traffic.

Speaker 2:
[63:29] That, or that, or sea salt and cracked pepper?

Speaker 1:
[63:33] By the way, that's the way that the sex scene originally ended. Yes, okay, again, my children are here tonight. Um, by the way, so, uh, we all have talked about Jafar and dressed in the clown costume, but we have yet to notice, uh, the person that she's sitting next to. Can you please also stand up? He is wearing a shirt that says, Jafar's boyfriend, please help me.

Speaker 20:
[63:59] Oh, wow.

Speaker 9:
[64:02] That's funny, because if you guys weren't walking together, someone would be like, I knew Jafar from Aladdin was gay.

Speaker 10:
[64:12] That happened to us at the Santa Monica Pier earlier. That did happen? The lady operating the carousel at the pier was like, I love your shirt. I love Jafar and Aladdin.

Speaker 11:
[64:19] Were you dressed like this all day?

Speaker 10:
[64:21] No, God no. We went and had dinner down the street and then I put this makeup on in the car at like 630. What do you think I am?

Speaker 11:
[64:28] Well, Jafar?

Speaker 9:
[64:29] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[64:32] Imagine you're walking by a car and this is being assembled.

Speaker 6:
[64:38] Also, that's so funny.

Speaker 9:
[64:39] Jafar is like, what do you take me as, as you're sitting here like a clown?

Speaker 2:
[64:44] What do you take?

Speaker 10:
[64:46] I love you, Jafar.

Speaker 1:
[64:47] All right, Jafar, what do you got?

Speaker 10:
[64:48] So we did not have director's commentary on this DVD, and I'm sad about it, but we did have a eight-minute long extended sex sequence.

Speaker 2:
[64:58] Oh, eight minutes?

Speaker 9:
[64:58] It's eight minutes?

Speaker 10:
[65:00] How many?

Speaker 9:
[65:00] How many?

Speaker 11:
[65:03] It's like the samurai cop sex scene. It's just awful.

Speaker 10:
[65:08] There were six position changes.

Speaker 2:
[65:10] Oh.

Speaker 11:
[65:11] There are six positions?

Speaker 2:
[65:12] Wait a minute. Did this movie invent five positions?

Speaker 1:
[65:23] To be honest, to be honest, five of them was him finding bombs on her body and defusing them.

Speaker 10:
[65:30] But so, the caveat to all of that fucking is that this movie was in pre-production when Pierce Brosnan lost his wife at a very young age from ovarian cancer.

Speaker 1:
[65:41] I was gonna keep this part a little bit out of the show, but go ahead, we may just edit this, Jafar.

Speaker 10:
[65:49] They had production meetings because Pierce Brosnan was upset about having to have such intimate scenes and they were like, if you want to be James Bond, you'd better whip your butt out.

Speaker 9:
[66:00] Wait a minute.

Speaker 11:
[66:01] Where comedy goes should die.

Speaker 10:
[66:03] Wait, it talks already.

Speaker 9:
[66:04] So, he was sad about his wife who passed away, they shoot an eight minute sex scene and then cut it from the movie?

Speaker 1:
[66:13] Well, Nicole, here's the thing that's gonna really bog you mind, this movie never came out in theaters.

Speaker 9:
[66:17] What? No.

Speaker 1:
[66:21] This movie was a TBS, like TNT, not even a, like, showtime.

Speaker 11:
[66:27] That doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1:
[66:28] Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[66:30] Oh, HP, thank you.

Speaker 1:
[66:32] All right, here we go. This is, it's a very odd story. So basically...

Speaker 11:
[66:36] Do people have sex for eight minutes?

Speaker 2:
[66:41] Eight minutes, six positions? I mean, that is like...

Speaker 11:
[66:46] I'm out.

Speaker 2:
[66:46] That's... if you add them together, that's double digits. I'm pretty sure that's not how sex works.

Speaker 1:
[66:55] So this is what they say. The film was being prepped as a summer blockbuster when New Line Cinema was trying to diversify its films. And then it just never made it to the... it just never made it to the theater. Wait, where is... I have the reason why. Did it go...

Speaker 11:
[67:10] You have the reason why?

Speaker 2:
[67:12] I have the reason why.

Speaker 11:
[67:13] They watched it.

Speaker 3:
[67:14] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[67:21] That's incredible.

Speaker 11:
[67:22] Like, there's a reason.

Speaker 2:
[67:24] Because this is not a cheap, like, this is, that's a huge hit.

Speaker 11:
[67:28] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[67:28] It was $9 million.

Speaker 2:
[67:30] That's a lot of money. In 1992, that's like $10 million. Can I ask you a question very briefly?

Speaker 11:
[67:39] Yes, sir.

Speaker 2:
[67:41] How did our main bad guy, when did he swallow the liquid?

Speaker 9:
[67:47] Oh, when he's got the gun to that lady's head, he has a little vial and he went, go, go, go, go, and then...

Speaker 11:
[67:52] I missed that.

Speaker 2:
[67:52] I missed that.

Speaker 9:
[67:53] Sorry, okay, thank you.

Speaker 1:
[67:53] Yeah, because he knows it's over for him. By the way, we have been talking the entire time about what the reason is. Like, why did they do it? And this is the closest that we have, is this scene here.

Speaker 5:
[68:02] That fool was right.

Speaker 12:
[68:04] It is completely undetectable.

Speaker 2:
[68:06] This looks like how The Joker is made.

Speaker 12:
[68:08] The powerless formula can give us nothing will stand in our way.

Speaker 2:
[68:11] Nothing.

Speaker 17:
[68:13] Sometimes I wonder, what's it all for?

Speaker 9:
[68:48] There was also a weird gay joke at one point.

Speaker 1:
[68:50] Oh yes, I have that one too.

Speaker 9:
[68:52] Okay, thank you.

Speaker 1:
[68:54] It was, because it came so late in the movie, it's like, wait, we're doing, it was in the middle of the third act thing. Yeah, this is it, I got it right here. Hold on. Okay, so this is...

Speaker 17:
[69:08] Guess who?

Speaker 4:
[69:12] Look, I've alerted my security, I've also got a man in the house.

Speaker 17:
[69:16] Your sexual preferences don't interest me.

Speaker 13:
[69:19] You could have killed 100 of the missing people today.

Speaker 17:
[69:22] Well, only because they matter to you. Now, I'm not in the mood to wait any longer. I have a life, you know. But if you kill me, you won't get anything. Not true. I get to kill you.

Speaker 13:
[69:35] Okay, you'll get your 10 million.

Speaker 1:
[69:38] Again, no plot.

Speaker 2:
[69:40] Well, what's weird too is if you kill me, you won't get anything. That's not true, I get to kill you. It's so weirdly done, like, it's as if he's clarifying, but he's just restating what Ron Silver said.

Speaker 1:
[69:55] It's a...

Speaker 2:
[69:57] It's really weird, and so much of the threat is all phone based. The bad guy's always calling the senators to be like, I'm gonna get you. And they're like, you can't touch me. I'm Philip Baker Hall. I'm immune to the... And the next thing you know, his guy's like, glug, glug, glug. I love this water. Boom.

Speaker 1:
[70:18] I do think... I'm just thinking back to that robot. Was the robot's name Madonna? Madonna, yes. Yeah, Madonna. And they just pour stuff into the robot's belly at a certain point. And the robot... I just... It just seems like they're very unsafe with like explosives, liquids and everything. Cause that could just blow up the robot too. The robot, at one point they say, it's napalm, it's TNT, it's dynamite, it's everything. It's like, it's everything?

Speaker 2:
[70:46] Boy, we didn't know how good we had it.

Speaker 1:
[70:50] Obviously, we had opinions about this film. But now it is time for second opinions.

Speaker 20:
[70:55] Hello, my name is Anna.

Speaker 10:
[71:00] Gotta get that.

Speaker 14:
[71:02] Ron Silva hit that.

Speaker 9:
[71:04] Then he went splat. Five-star review, view, view.

Speaker 14:
[71:10] Filmed, watched by few, few, few.

Speaker 10:
[71:12] Bad guys confused, fused, fused.

Speaker 9:
[71:13] That judge, she flew, flew, flew. Yo, I got that five-star review. Ass-pinching robots, that's new. Sanitars get blue.

Speaker 10:
[71:21] Up from the inside, ill.

Speaker 9:
[71:23] That clown outfit, knock a kid out of wheelchair shit.

Speaker 14:
[71:26] These bodies, boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 9:
[71:28] Live wire's doom, doom, doom.

Speaker 17:
[71:54] Wow!

Speaker 6:
[71:55] Wow!

Speaker 17:
[71:55] Wow!

Speaker 6:
[71:56] Now, that was amazing.

Speaker 1:
[71:58] You did not know that Johnny was going to be here.

Speaker 11:
[72:02] Do you bet these people before? They're amazing.

Speaker 1:
[72:04] No, they're amazing. That is amazing. Oh my, but that's like, that's, that's an Irving Zisman song.

Speaker 11:
[72:11] Yes, it was. I was trying to remember the dance steps, but I couldn't even remember Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 2:
[72:19] You're saying you don't have very good long-term memory. Do you think-

Speaker 11:
[72:23] It's been altered.

Speaker 6:
[72:24] Can you attribute that to anything?

Speaker 11:
[72:27] Live Wire.

Speaker 1:
[72:30] Here we go. There are 523 total reviews of Live Wire on Amazon, and 63% are five-star reviews. Here's a sample. What? Yep, 63%. And this one is from Jerry. What's not to like? Nude Pierce Brosnan? I mean, not through the whole movie, of course. Which I would have liked to have seen that. Pretty good story. I liked it. I mean, I liked it years ago when I first saw it, and I still like it. I mean, I must like it.

Speaker 16:
[73:10] I bought it, right?

Speaker 6:
[73:15] Kind of improbable, but I like that.

Speaker 1:
[73:19] Five stars. Great Pierce Brosnan movie. Then it goes to Kimberly Hatch. She did this in 2020. I like Amazon. They always deliver my items on time. Five stars.

Speaker 2:
[73:34] Can you imagine writing a review for your experience on Amazon somehow on the page for Live Wire?

Speaker 1:
[73:46] I'm sure they said review your purchase, and she was like, oh, my purchasing experience? I got it.

Speaker 2:
[73:52] What a life for Kimberly Hatch.

Speaker 1:
[73:57] This one in 2014 was written by Joe and goes, although very entertaining, this movie should be viewed as a warning of what could happen across the globe. Very sick people out there that want to exact hurt on Western societies. Another wake up movie, five stars.

Speaker 9:
[74:17] He needs to email his high school science teacher. Because it's not possible.

Speaker 1:
[74:27] And then this one from Jonathan Fritz who writes...

Speaker 2:
[74:31] Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek?

Speaker 1:
[74:33] Sorry, Jonathan Fritz. Jonathan Frakes did love this film. He goes, at first he was doing bomb stuff, then he turned into a spy. Love when he got back to his roots of doing bomb stuff. Great performance by the robot. Five stars.

Speaker 2:
[74:49] I agree. I agree.

Speaker 1:
[74:51] And the final review, just... And this might be... I fear... This is somebody that is a fan of ours who saw that we were doing this, but I'll read it anyway.

Speaker 2:
[75:01] Don't reward them.

Speaker 1:
[75:03] Pierce Brosnan has a girly ass. Five stars.

Speaker 2:
[75:08] Has a girly ass?

Speaker 1:
[75:10] Yeah. Didn't like his ass.

Speaker 11:
[75:11] Is that an insult?

Speaker 2:
[75:12] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[75:13] I mean, they did give it five stars, but I feel like they wanted a more masculine ass.

Speaker 9:
[75:18] Maybe they knew he was deeply hairy and went to the same source you went to and said, this too girly, with a hair out.

Speaker 2:
[75:25] Wait, did you write it?

Speaker 11:
[75:26] Whatever.

Speaker 6:
[75:27] Shut up.

Speaker 1:
[75:27] Anyway, we have a lot of great reviews.

Speaker 6:
[75:31] Um, yeah, and, uh...

Speaker 1:
[75:33] Right, right, right. Okay. There are, in addition to the eight-minute sex scene, there is, the UK version is highly edited because you cannot show making bombs. And apparently, this movie is very explicit and correct about making bombs. So, uh, that was pretty good. Yeah, and then, um, and then there's a special thanks at the end of the film to Julia Child and the Ladies Pro Bowler Tour.

Speaker 9:
[76:05] Because that's, yeah, that's what he's watching on TV.

Speaker 1:
[76:08] Oh, oh, oh.

Speaker 9:
[76:08] He watches Julia Child and then there's bowling.

Speaker 1:
[76:11] Oh, okay. I thought this was the joke of their life.

Speaker 11:
[76:13] You're super perceptive. I thought he was Timothy Dalton through half of the movie, and you've never seen this shit.

Speaker 1:
[76:23] And if you are wondering, yes, there was a Live Wire to Human Time Bomb.

Speaker 3:
[76:31] Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 2:
[76:33] Human Time Bomb?

Speaker 1:
[76:38] It says it has very little correlation to this movie. Sounds like the plot, the title seems right on the money.

Speaker 2:
[76:45] Human Time, we gotta do it. Wait, has anybody seen it? No, okay.

Speaker 1:
[76:52] It says a computer chip turns an FBI agent into a lethal weapon. And it reuses scenes from another film called Cyborg Cop.

Speaker 2:
[77:04] I think we gotta do them all.

Speaker 1:
[77:07] Yeah, so that is this.

Speaker 10:
[77:08] Who's in it?

Speaker 1:
[77:10] I don't know.

Speaker 10:
[77:11] Another James Bond.

Speaker 1:
[77:14] Timothy Dalton, as a matter of fact.

Speaker 2:
[77:18] You know what I loved? I just want to say. We talked about the fact that early in the movie, Pierce Brosnan is served a restraining order for his wife. I mean, his wife, rather. That happens on the highway that is blocked off from everything where he is diffusing a car bomb between the legs scene. The guy manages to get all the way through to serve him a restraining order. That was wild.

Speaker 11:
[77:45] And she completely ignores it the whole movie.

Speaker 10:
[77:47] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[77:48] Yeah, he keeps saying, You shouldn't be here. You're violating your own restraining order. You're here in this tub.

Speaker 9:
[77:56] We also didn't talk about how Pierce Brosnan handcuffed himself to that man.

Speaker 10:
[78:01] And I was like, You're going to slow yourself down?

Speaker 2:
[78:04] Yeah. Why not just handcuff him to anything else?

Speaker 9:
[78:07] Well, he did handcuff him to a pillar in the middle of the bedroom and then unhandcuffed him and then handcuffed him to him.

Speaker 2:
[78:15] Like, did you think they were going to fuck?

Speaker 10:
[78:16] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[78:18] Hoping.

Speaker 1:
[78:20] That's on the DVD.

Speaker 2:
[78:21] When they were in the bedroom, weren't you like, Maybe this is going to jump off?

Speaker 9:
[78:24] Yeah, I thought Pierce was going to be like, Bro, let me suck your dick.

Speaker 2:
[78:26] Maybe they'll do one position for 30 seconds, apologize and leave.

Speaker 1:
[78:32] That's the only way you could get back at him. Or just gentle kissing. Okay, so final thoughts. Anything that we haven't covered anything before. Would you recommend this movie, Jason?

Speaker 2:
[78:41] Yeah, I actually would. This was fun as hell. I mean, it's absolutely nuts. It makes no sense, but it's a blast. And it helps that I do. I feel like everybody in it is throwing themselves all the way in, in service of absolute dog shit, which is one of my favorite things for our movies. You know, like they're going for it and it's not working and it's wonderful. And they're all good. That's the thing is, it's Pierce Brosnan, it's Ron Silver. These are good people, but the movie is dog shit.

Speaker 1:
[79:17] How dare you? I mean, it does feel like a point that's like, are they making fun of this or are they? Because it's like, yeah, because they're not. And that's what's kind of like, so it's the earnestness really does work for me.

Speaker 2:
[79:31] I mean, I imagine if instead of Pierce Brosnan, not to make it too much of a callback, but it was Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Speaker 1:
[79:40] I don't think it would have worked as good. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[79:43] Interesting.

Speaker 1:
[79:43] I think he's got more of like a, well, I'm gonna say he's a good actor, so he's actually-

Speaker 2:
[79:47] Who is?

Speaker 1:
[79:48] Pierce Brosnan.

Speaker 2:
[79:49] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[79:49] Oh, okay. John, yeah. Sorry. Okay. It's almost like he's playing things too heavy. Like, it causes an unbalance.

Speaker 2:
[79:58] I kind of wanted Pierce Brosnan to be replaced by someone who is in Ron Silver's movie.

Speaker 1:
[80:04] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[80:05] You know, which would have been like a Seagal, a Chuck Norris.

Speaker 1:
[80:09] Oh, it's a great Seagal. Like, I'll fucking separate you from your life.

Speaker 2:
[80:12] Yes!

Speaker 1:
[80:13] Like, that's the Seagal. There it is.

Speaker 2:
[80:15] There it is.

Speaker 1:
[80:17] Nicole, any final thoughts on Live Wire?

Speaker 9:
[80:19] Oh, what a treat. I am going to rewatch it because I do want to see that eight-minute sex scene.

Speaker 2:
[80:27] I think we're all going to go home tonight and rewatch the eight-minute sex scene.

Speaker 9:
[80:30] Yeah. But do I have to buy the DVD?

Speaker 10:
[80:33] Do you want mine?

Speaker 2:
[80:36] All right. There it is.

Speaker 1:
[80:42] Nicole, Jafar.

Speaker 9:
[80:44] I can't wait to get home to that nice man in my life and go, Jafar gave me Live Wire, and not explain a thing.

Speaker 2:
[80:55] We get to watch the eight-minute sex scene, babe.

Speaker 1:
[80:58] You made me watch Indiana Jones. I'm going to make you watch Live Wire.

Speaker 2:
[81:04] He's like, Live Wire made me gay.

Speaker 10:
[81:10] Thank you, Jafar.

Speaker 1:
[81:12] Johnny, it's been amazing to have you here. What do you think? Any final thoughts on Live Wire?

Speaker 11:
[81:18] I realized I missed so much, and I have to go rewatch as soon as I get home.

Speaker 1:
[81:24] It's really one that just keeps on giving. Thank you. Sorry, I forgot this. Anyone have anything they want to plug? Jason, Nicole, Jason, do you have anything you want to plug?

Speaker 2:
[81:33] No, not really.

Speaker 1:
[81:34] Great. Nicole, anything? I'm in the world. All right, great. Johnny? Nope. All right, great. Got nothing here.
