and welcome to the Every Movie Ever podcast.
My name is Ben Groves. And my name is Robert Macfarlane.
Welcome to the show, a movie podcast where we
ask the important questions like chicken or the
egg? Which came first? Obviously the egg. Learn
your dinosaurs better, my lovelies. Maybe, maybe,
but possibly the chicken. You know what I mean?
Before dinosaurs. What, are you a scientist?
I know you're a nerd, but are you into science?
A little bit. You egg science man? Yeah. I'm
a chef. This is the censored version of the show.
Swears will be bleeped, but fear not, dear listener.
As always, the full uncensored version is available
early on our Patreon for as little as one pound,
my dear boys. And the link to that is right below
wherever you click play. So go do it, you f***s.
Go do it, you f***ing wet beans. I don't know
what that means. Me neither, but I'm here for
it. I'm here for it too, man. Let's just keep
it going. How are you doing today, bud? Oh, bud,
I've got big news. Hit me with it. So I did the
podcast. I already know it. Yeah, I know. But
hit the listener with it. So I joined the podcast
with you. You did? A couple of years back and
then not long into it, I put myself out a window,
had a big mental breakdown, had to move home,
had to retrain, stop working as a sound engineer
in the music industry and become a chef and just
rebuild, retool, get myself back together. And
you did it beautifully. Oh, babe. And then we've
been doing this podcast remotely this entire
time. I've just been accepted for a job. Hey!
In your town. Hey! I've just been accepted for
a flat in your town. And it's happening. I'm
getting back on my own two feet. I'm going to
be an independent person again. I'm no longer
living with family. The mentals are in a good
spot. Good, man. The financials are in a good
spot. It's all coming up Milhouse, bro. How about
you, man? How you doing? Remember a while ago
where I was like... I was in a rough one and
I was like, I'm just aiming for middle of the
road. Yeah. Like I'm aiming for, for mediocre
middle of the road. That's what I'm desperate
for. Well, I hit it a while ago. Yeah. Yeah.
And what I quickly realized is, um, I fucking
hate it. The thing that I have always, I've learned
recently is no matter how much you push the envelope,
it's, it's still stationary. It is. That's outrageous.
That's outrageous. I would have preferred a swimming
joke. Or some shapes. Colour in. Right. Not a
stationary joke. What I've learned recently is
Frosty's 10 metre badges are pretty hard to it.
You know what I mean? Something like this. Right,
okay. But not the envelope stationary. That's
a f***ing stationary joke, mate. Unbelievable.
We hit 100 ,000 downloads. We did. We did. 100
,000 downloads. Which is insane. So everyone
listening. Congratulations, babe. Thank you so
much. Thank you, darlings. 100k. We're in the
six digit club for downloads. That's mental.
That is mental. Rarified air. Rarified air. You
know what I mean? Beautiful. This is it. I'm
going to start walking around town with a ring
on, just being sort of like, hi, my name is Ben
Gross. 1 ,000 downloads, you ask? Yes, I have.
Kiss the ring? And that's going to be it. It's
going to be great. What are we doing today? We
are spin kicking our way through Roadhouse as
you try and Patrick persuade me that Patrick
Swayze is in fact... playing the same man across
a trilogy of Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse and Point
Break. I think you're mad, but you've got some
compelling points. That's right, buddy. I do.
First off, I'm going to be calling on Exhibit
A, followed by Exhibit B. Oh. Closely followed
by Exhibit C. You going to tell us what they
are? Yes, genius. That is the whole episode.
Let's get listening. Okay, yeah, yeah, fair.
I'm hooked. I'm hooked. All right. So I've written
the breakdown this week. It's a little bit of
a straight down the middle one. Some people haven't
seen Roadhouse in a while. They want to be reminded
what happened. Some people never have and never
plan to. Spoiler warning for you lot. But we're
going to be playing around with the fiction.
We're going to be saying that this guy's another
guy. So I thought, you know what? Just give the
audience it straight. Why are you being so hurtful?
We're not playing around with fiction. We're
educating fact. Really, fact. Yeah. Fact. Because
I remember violently saying... Your proof better
be bulletproof. Otherwise, I'm going to be, and
I quote, furious. I've seen Roadhouse now. I
hadn't in episode one. Yeah. I've got some questions
for you, babe. Get into the breakdown and we'll
get into your incontrovertible evidence, which
is, you know, rock solid. I'm going to read the
breakdown. Not because you just yelled at me
to, but because I want to. All right. Roadhouse.
James Dalton is a professional bouncer working
at a New York City club. Though calm and disciplined,
he is haunted by the memory of murdering a man.
I mean, okay. It's not wrong. It's not wrong.
One night, businessman Frank Tillman recruits
him to clean up the Double Deuce, a violent and
lawless bar in Jasper, Missouri. Dalton agrees,
demanding full control over the club's operations.
It's a very bold claim for a bouncer to make.
You know what I mean? Right. Also, what is this
secret society of like John Wick bouncers? Oh,
there's loads. We can play with this in a bit.
I've got a question for this. I've got a thought
experiment for us later. Okay. Upon arriving,
he fires all the corrupt staff involved in theft
and drug dealing. He rents a barn from a local
farmer named Emmett. Unaware that the mansion
across the lake, I think it's a river, but we'll
get into it, belongs to crime boss Brad Wesley,
who rules the town through intimidation and extortion.
We discover that Dalton is good with horses,
which will be important later. Yeah, yeah, don't
overthink it. Keep going. I'm going, I'm going.
Wesley quickly targets Dalton. Oh, I think I
know where this is going. No, you don't. No,
no, no. No way. Okay. No, no, no. No way. Wesley
quickly targets Dalton, starting with his nephew,
Pat, one of the fired employees who attacks Dalton
and is swiftly beaten. Yeah, he's got a knife
shoe. He does. I've got a thing for that. Yeah.
Hopefully it's not a shoe. After getting a knife
wound in the fight, Dalton visits hospital where
he meets long -faced Dr. called Elizabeth Clay,
whom Wesley also desires. That's the horses thing,
right? You'll have to see, mate. No one knows.
It's a mystery. Yeah, yeah, sound. Dr. Clay immediately
throws herself at Dalton. As we said, he's good
with horses. Literally the next sentence. Who
could have known? It was out of nowhere. It was
out of nowhere. As Wesley escalates his harassment,
he cuts off the Double Deuce's liquor supply
and sends his thugs to stir up chaos. Dalton's
mentor, veteran bouncer, Wade Garrett. Oh, famed
Wade. You know how he is. Famous Wade. Yeah,
yeah. He's known throughout the lands. Famous,
way -mus he is. He's also really fit. He is fit.
Sam Elliott. Woo! Wade Garrett arrives to help.
Wesley retaliates by torching Elizabeth's uncle's
auto shop. And ordering a mullet wearing man.
Gorgeous. Jimmy Reno. Jimmy Reno. Is that his
name? I also wrote a mullet wearing a man. But
he's also a mullet wearing man. And his name
is Jimmy Reno. Jimmy Reno. What a name. When
Jimmy later blows up Emmett's home, a furious
Dalton hunts him down. Sure. And murders him
by ripping out his throat. Horrifying, Elizabeth.
Everything in this world is flammable. Didn't
also mention that Jimmy Reno goes to escape on
a motorbike and Dalton chases him down on foot.
Yeah. Because that's a thing you can do. Dude,
he's next to a river, not a lake. He's next to
a river and it's, you know, it's uneven terrain.
Right, okay. A Tai Chi ninja bouncer is going
to outrun a motocross bike. You know what I mean?
Okay, yeah, fine, fine. I forgot the bouncers
are... and according to human law, actually T
-1000s. Oh yeah, 1000%. Wesley calls Dalton,
threatening to kill either Elizabeth or Garrett.
Dalton rushes to find Elizabeth safe, but returns
to the Double Deuce to discover Garrett murdered.
Enraged, he storms Wesley's estate, killing his
henchmen before confronting Wesley himself. He
overpowers Wesley, but chooses to spare him.
As he steps away, Wesley grabs a gun, only to
be executed. in cold blood by the local mom and
pop business owners who have decided to join
Dalton's murder cult the police arrive but everyone
denies witnessing anything so literally nothing
can be done apparently that's how justice works
that's how it goes man later with Wesley gone
The newly revitalized Double Deuce thrives. Dalton
and Elizabeth enjoy a peaceful swim in the lake.
It's a river, but what's fine. All memory of
him murdering a man in front of her seems to
have been erased. Yeah. I think that's pretty
accurate. It's a very accurate portrayal. I mean,
everything in this world is flammable. It is.
You can blow up places by shooting at them. You
can. You can blow up cars by shooting at them.
Yeah. Some would say in a country where guns
are very legal. A flammable car that explodes
with a bullet hit is dangerous. But then you
think, it's a Mercedes, so it's not designed
to be driven in America. Maybe that's why it
blows up. It's a strong film, Ben, one I hadn't
seen before. And now I have seen it, I've only
got more questions about your theory. Yes, and
I've come with more answers. I'm going to get
into the theory real quick and do a quick recap.
The theory is that Johnny Castle, in Dirty Dancing,
grows up to be... James Dalton in Roadhouse,
who then grows up to be Bodhi in Point Break.
They are all the same character. They're all
the same one and the other. So here's a little
recap. Johnny Castle, a charming, trustworthy
guy with a rough side who knows how to fight,
gets disillusioned with the wealthy and the upper
classes at Kellerman's. Instead of chasing a
college degree straight away like everyone else,
he travels the country wanting to help people,
practicing spirituality, learning philosophy,
and evolving his fighting skills. He becomes
one of the best bouncers in the US, but realises
his life has gone down a rough path that he doesn't
want to continue down. He didn't like who he
became. So he moves to California. He develops
a new philosophy on life. And after the rich
people of Kellerman's at Dirty Dancing and Brad
Wesley in Roadhouse, he now knows two things,
Robert McFarlane. One, that he never wants to
work for the man again. And two, steal from the
rich. And that's when he starts robbing banks.
It all tracks. is what I'm hearing the loud roar
of people saying. And I get it. You know what
I mean? I get it. Do you know what? Do you know
what? For the first 20 minutes of this film,
it really tracked. Right. I was like, well, this
is 100 % the same guy. Yeah. He moves the same.
He talks the same. Yeah. He looks the same. Yeah.
I then realized it might be that they're just
played by the same actor. Yeah. When he's like,
I was studying philosophy at NYU. and I've killed
a man, and I grew up in a different state, and
I've got no mention of baby or being a dancer.
I don't dance in this film. He doesn't want to
be known as Johnny Castle anymore, buddy, because
that life is behind him. He still can pachanga,
but he just chooses not to. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The pachanga? Yeah. Sorry, because I'm a classically
trained dancer. Right. I had to... right okay
you had to correct me it's actually the pachinko
it's a japanese traditional dance yeah involves
a lot of falling down there's loads of marbles
you know i mean great great great great great
well look vodka rocks let's get nipple to nipple
give me your first bit of evidence oh you want
some evidence going through this okay i've got
i've got a bunch for this right it is it is intense
evidence so i'm going to need you to follow me
because it gets it gets pretty deep pretty quick
all right okay how about this how about you give
me your three strongest bits of evidence Okay.
Before I weigh in. And then we'll have a little
heart to heart. Got you. And then, you know,
we'll see where we're at. I'll round it out with
my least three favourite bits of evidence. I
love that. I love this. That's the best way of
doing it. Dude, I bought six pieces of evidence
exactly for this reason. I love it. God, this
is why we work. This is why we work. All right.
So evidence for the crazy Swayze theory. Nobody
puts baby in the corner. Is this film's pain
don't hurt. So in Dirty Dancing, right? Hear
me out on this one. This is a stretch. Please
explain. Okay. Strong evidence number one. Yes.
Let me just say this is a stretch. Yeah. Strong
evidence number one is incredibly thin, but bear
with me. All right. Right. Yep. In Dirty Dancing,
when Johnny stands up for baby in front of her
father. Yeah. And the whole resort. Great scene.
Yeah. He refuses to let her be dismissed. He's
like, no, no, no. You live your dreams. We're
doing our dance. I'm a lift you up. Mm hmm. Dalton
stands up for various women in the bars that
he works in. Yes. Standing up against the males
that are causing a myth chief around them. But
in Roadhouse, Dalton has a tough yet calm approach
to dealing with conflict. Right. Much like how
our Johnny Castle handled conflict. Right. Choosing
to sometimes walk away instead of get physical.
Like the bit where he goes to smooth things over
with baby's father. And baby's father turns around
and he's like. get the fuck off my porch, you
absolute reprobate. And rather than fight him,
he just puts on his sunglasses and storms off
in a leather jacket because he's mint. Finger
guns the camera. You know what I mean? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. That's it. He left us all sopping
wet. Okay, daddy -o. You know what I mean? It
was amazing. But this is showing that he's standing
by his principles that Baby instilled in him.
Right. Such as when he tells the doctor, pain
don't hurt. And this is demonstrating both his
resilience and his philosophical nature. Right,
okay. This could suggest... that Johnny, after
years of being knocked around by life, toughened
up, adopted a no -nonsense and almost zen -like
attitude towards pain and hardship. Right. Okay,
let me just respond briefly. Give it. You know,
you're painting a vision here of a wise man,
a man who's lived. Oh, very wise, yeah. Pain
don't hurt. Pain don't hurt. Great phrase. The
f*** does it mean? It's entirely meaningless.
Oh yeah, it's nonsense. It's trying to shag a
nurse. You know what I mean? Right, right. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. But that makes me love it more. Right,
no, okay, now I hear you. It's a great line.
It's a great line. Yeah. For... I'm cool as f***
and it doesn't matter if what I say makes zero
sense. Oh, I'm sorry. Nobody puts baby in a corner
when she's sitting against a wall, not in a corner,
only being repressed by having a lovely meal
with her wealthy parents in a lovely resort.
It's actually, as we discussed, it's more of
an alcove. Exactly. I'll go the other way. I'll
say what this actually proves is he's still a
moron who doesn't know how English works. Yes.
So, okay. It's not Pearls of Wisdom, it's Pearls
of Nonsense. Pearls of Nonsense. Here we go.
Great band name, stealing that one. Okay, nice,
nice, nice. With their album Death Vessels. Yes,
buddy. Okay, so dancing versus fighting. This
is evidence number two, and it's down to his
physicality and his training, right? Right, right.
Johnny Castle is a dancer, meaning that he has
control over his body, he has excellent reflexes,
and impressive flexibility. In Roadhouse... Yes.
Dalton fights with a very fluid, almost choreographed
style. You know, his high kicks, his spins, his
precise... He flows like water. He stings like
a bee. See? Yeah. Flow like water, sting like
a bee. That famous phrase. Sung by Wu -Tang.
Yes. By Mahershala Ali. Yeah. You see what I'm
saying? Yeah. But the precise movements are almost
that of a trained dancer. He is like... pinpoint
accurate with his like fancy ass moves this could
mean okay johnny transitioned from dance to martial
arts and self -defense using the same agility
and coordination he once needed on the dance
floor i have an example for this one right so
the fight between dalton and jimmy yeah down
by the river jimmy reno jimmy reno it is a river
because spoiler alert if you haven't watched
it go watch it jimmy reno gets his throat ripped
out and then we He's pushed out into the lake,
right? But then the next shot is him very rapidly
going down, like following a tide. And I'm like,
that's not a lake. Unless Patrick Swayze has
thrown this dead body so hard, like a skimming
pebble. And he's just slowly making his way across
a lake. I don't understand how this works. Physics
exists. You know what I mean? No, I hear you.
It's a very thin lake if it's a lake. It's a
lake with a very directional current if it's
a lake. I also have questions about, before you
carry on, I have questions about the town. Because
the town seems to consist of the Double Deuce,
the auto parts shop, and these two houses. Yeah.
where the antagonist and the protagonist just
have sex at one another across the river. Yeah,
essentially. It's open window, like... Sex off,
yeah. Yeah, watch me clap this ass, and then
that guy's like, oh, I'm gonna get that guy.
How dare he clap that ass at me? I don't know.
I don't know the definition of a town. I don't
know if you need a church and a phone box, but
I'm just saying that Jackson doesn't seem to
have those key elements. It seems to have two
houses, a river lake, A bar where everyone loves
fighting all of the time. And a car pop shop.
Yeah, it's got their car dealership as well.
And apparently somewhere to buy a monster truck.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's got the car dealership.
It does. We see that. And it's also got a cafe
that's open at like 9am to drunkards. Yeah, it's
amazing. There's like one strip and then some
outlaying things. You're moving to Telford. Get
used to this, buddy. It's essentially 12 little
tiny villages and one shopping centre. Enjoy
that. From Camden High Street to Telford. You
are in for a culture shock, my boy. I can't wait.
But your wider point of Johnny Castle having
balletic moves that can be fighting moves. I
will go as far as to say that a spin kick. is
not too different from a pirouette. It's just
an angry pirouette. It's just, it's a mischievous
pirouette. You know what I mean? Right, yeah,
yeah, yeah. They're very similar. But the dance,
the fight between him and Jimmy Reno down by
the river, the way that they move, it's so controlled
and so rehearsed. And all of his Tai Chi moves
come into action like this. Yes. It's just, I
mean, minus the throat ripping. Right, right.
You know what I mean? I don't know which dance
that is. Is that Mambo? I've not seen it on Strictly,
is all I'm saying. I've not seen it on Strictly
Come Dancing. No, I don't think they do the pachinko
on the Strictly Come Dancing, though. I think
that's, it's just, you know what I mean? It's
regionalised to the pachinko. Right, okay. It's
a pachinko -specific move. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this is where I'm coming from. Like, trained
dancer, martial artist, the sort of, like, the
fluidity. tracks between the two but it looks
like there's a few years between you know johnny
castle and johnny dalton you can kind of piece
it together however you want to but the transition
is feasible you know i mean okay okay all right
so philosophy and growth evidence number three
right from idealist to realist oh so in dirty
dancing this might be the strongest point i don't
know why i've saved this till now right okay
in Dirty Dancing Johnny is mad passionate super
idealistic he tries to make it as a dancer he's
very creative he's very sort of the passion burns
strong with this one you know what I mean despite
being a poor person in his lowly social status
disgusting which is in the dance world is outrageous
and I'm guessing in your Former circles. Yeah,
yeah, definitely. Come on, listen to this voice.
This doesn't come with me. This is expensive.
No one says bath without having owned at least
one slave at some point in their life. Do you
know what I mean? So he fights against the system
and he still believes in love and dreams. Johnny
Castle is a lover, is a dreamer, is a creative,
right? He's not a fighter. He's a lover, yeah.
Yeah. But by the time of Roadhouse... Dalton
has become a more hardened realist, but he still
holds onto a philosophy as discipline, having
studied philosophy at NYU, according to this
movie. This could suggest that Johnny, after
struggling in the entertainment world, sought
knowledge and self -improvement, eventually adopting
a more intellectual, measured approach to life.
Men searching for faith type shit. Remember when
he says that? when he's trying to bang the nurse
for the first time pain don't hurt I studied
philosophy men searching for faith type shit
he's such an Andrew Tate pin up this guy it's
insane oh mate let's not let's not take it down
that road he's not that far come on he's not
he's macho but he's not sort of like you need
to be up at 10am making a business you know what
I mean there's none of that really? yeah okay
a little bit yeah alright so here you go okay
now I hear your point I hear your point yeah
I have a question go on we established in our
prior episode when we covered Donnie Dancing.
No, Dirty Dancing. Donnie Dancing in the bin.
Donnie Dancing would be him, but he is a bit
Donnie Dancing because in Donnie Darko, Patrick
Swayze plays a child sex predator. Yeah, he does.
And in Dirty Dancing, he plays, controversially,
a child sex predator. A child sex predator. He's
a 25 -year -old man dating a just 17 -year -old.
So we know that he's 25 in Dirty Dancing. Yes.
Which is set in the early 60s. 1963, yeah. Yeah.
We know that Roadhouse is set in the 80s. Yes.
So how old is Dalton? I think there's been 25
years since 1963. Yeah. So we're saying, what,
he's 50? Yes. Okay. But a very young, agile 15,
right? It's the Tai Chi. It's the Tai Chi. The
Tai Chi really holds it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Tai Chi and being good with horses, that's
what keeps you young. It's not just for sexually
confusing your landlord. No. By oiling yourself
up for no reason to do some Tai Chi in the garden.
Every reason that Patrick Swayze has to oil himself
up is valid. I'll have none of this slander.
Okay. Go f*** yourself. Okay. Why are we slandering
this? That's the best part of the movie. So this
50 year old man. Yeah. Right. Okay. Practices
Tai Chi and lives in a barn. Works as a bouncer.
And is part of the entire industry. Yeah. Part
of the secret industry of John Wick style bouncers.
Yeah. Yeah. It all tracks. I hear what you're
saying, but let me get my evidence out, my dear
boy. Right. So in the example that I've got here,
Dolan explains to all the bouncers at the Double
Deuce, he's like, be nice until it's time to
not be nice. Now, this sounds like a man that's
been burned by life. He's learned restraint,
but he knows how and when to act. And in Dirty
Dancing, Johnny had to hold back his anger when
he was falsely accused of theft at the Kellermans.
proving that he already had some restraint early
on. And if we go back and watch Dirty Dancing
again, there is so much restraint from Johnny
Castle in that film. Yes. When the father wrongly
accuses him, when he's wrongly accused of theft,
when he's put down continuously, when he's treated
like a cheap piece of meat, he restrains himself
so much to a point and it's all inspired by Baby.
And I think that Baby put this seed in our James
Dalton. Right. Okay. I know. Okay. That took
a sharp left turn because you thought... Right.
See? I've got some Reddit. Some subreddit. What
I'm saying is, is I feel like that that was there
and it's a very feasible evolution mindset of
someone that's been burned time and time again.
Lover to fighter, fighter to philosopher. Over
the 55 years they've been alive. You know what
I mean? Really? Don't add years on. He's barely
50. Until he gets to Point Break where he's a
75 -year -old surfer. Who can rub banks, yeah.
Not to sound unconvinced, Ben. Okay. This is
nonsense. Right. This is pure nonsense. Okay.
But it leads to a deeper question. Yeah. Why
does this matter? Because you are like... You
are enthused about this. I love that you've waited
this long to ask that question. I've been trusting
you and I'm like, no, no, he's gonna, he's this,
like, you saved this for the show. We've been
planning this for a couple months. I've been
talking about this idea. You've never once asked
me this. I do believe, I do believe your words
were, and I quote, let me cook. Yeah, they were.
Right, okay. Yeah. So what was I supposed to
do? Right, okay. So you're not letting me cook
anymore. You're banging the knife and fork on
the table. Where the f*** is my food? I'm out
of point. Go in. what what's the dish ben what
like what's all right what's what's my macronutrients
here okay at the moment what we've had is we've
had two films yes that are straight popcorn yes
and i've been like what do these mean to you
and like they're just fun they're just fun mindless
movies and i'm like okay great so what do we
have to talk about and you're like i've got this
theory and i'm i'm hearing it and i'm like this
better be strong right it's better be strong
and you're like oh don't worry babe it is it
is and let's be fair it ain't I'm gonna okay
like what like why can't Johnny Castle just be
Johnny Castle because why can't James Dalton
just be James Dalton have you ever watched a
TV series where you get so attached to the characters
that you're like when the show comes to an end
you're like god I miss them I just I just want
a little update yeah yeah succession like breaking
bad breaking bad for me yeah yeah when it ended
i was like god i miss them all so much i want
to know what's going on i hope jesse's okay yeah
and then a few years down the line they release
el camino it's an awful film i adore it because
it gives me more of what i want it gives me an
update on the characters that i love and miss
right yes so this for me okay well right give
me one sec give me one sec when i was a kid and
i would be sitting in the living room and it
was i must have been sort of like five or six
years old right and my mom and my dad would be
arguing most most parents do it's fine and sometimes
it would get like a bit intense and you i'd sit
there with you know these these purple crushed
velvet cushions from the sofa over my ears classy
and i would focus on the tv to try and drown
out this stuff and whatever was on the tv was
was sort of like what i became you know hyper
focused on block the world out and this is this
is it these are the sort of films that were playing
at the time okay and there'll be other moments
in my childhood where my brother had gone to
work but a vhs copy of roadhouse would be in
the video player in his room so i would sneak
in i would sit there There was, just outside
of the bedroom door, there was like a whole world
of stuff that's happening that I don't understand.
I don't really want to. I just want it to stop.
Yeah. Roadhouse is on. And then... Mint. Johnny
Castle will come on the screen during Dirty Dancing.
Dalton will come on the screen during Roadhouse.
And they're these two guys that can... They stand
on their own. They don't need anyone else. They
don't... rely on anyone else they don't have
anyone else sort of inflicting anything or like
controlling anything or there's no sort of sway
from anyone else they just are yeah and f***ing
hell re -watching Roadhouse I'm like Dalton might
be the coolest person that I've ever looked up
to ever in my entire life and it's one of those
moments where I just missed him right and then
I saw this theory and I was like you know what
do you know who I haven't seen in a little while
my good buddy who helped me sort of escape the
weird for a bit so James Dalton what's interesting
is my primary criticism of this film is that
it is exactly the sort of script that an 8 year
old boy would write about a kung fu fighting
bouncer but he's not an idiot because he's got
a degree in philosophy and he dates this really
hot woman but she's not being objectified because
she's a doctor so she's wicked smart yeah like
it's it's but look at all the bad stuff that's
happening to him and he can just get up and dust
it off he gets stabbed pain don't hurt right
you just get on with it buddy and master of his
own destiny and doesn't have to endure anything
if he sees something that isn't right he fixes
it exactly there is a super heroic quality to
James Dalton exactly he has the power to change
the stuff around him and stand up for the little
guy whereas with Johnny Castle there is a warmth
and a comfort in there he is treated with a kindness
and a respect and a care by the woman in the
film baby yeah and he appreciates that care and
he values it as he should he recognizes its rarity
yeah so to combine those two is is a powerful
powerful thing right and i can't criticize it
now because i don't want to take the velvet cushions
off right don't So what I'm going to do, I'm
going to nestle down. We'll go ear to ear. It'll
get a bit sweaty, but it's all right. I'll have
the velvet cushion on my left. I'll have you
on my right ear. And then you can all, we'll
just be a head sandwich. I like this. I like
this. I like the thing that solved my theory.
It's childhood trauma. What can I say against
it? Yeah, do it. It'll be on the internet forever.
Go for it. I do think, weirdly, Yeah. Linking
them together. I wouldn't have done it with the
in -universe stuff. Okay. I'd have done it with
the fact that they are the exact opposite of
each other as a film. Okay. Roadhouse does for
boys what Dirty Dancing did for girls. Yes, it
does. Where you had dance scenes in Dirty Dancing,
surprisingly, you've got fight scenes in Roadhouse.
It's the same level of physicality. Yeah. It's
just in one, it's romance, and in the other,
it's fighting. Yeah. In one, we had love and
romance at the forefront. And in the second,
we've got nudity and sexuality in the forefront.
Funnily enough, Dirty Dancing was made for no
money and made millions and millions and millions.
And Roadhouse is not a legit B -movie. It was
made for millions and produced by Joel Silver,
who made Brewster's Millions and The Matrix and
The Die Hard, Lethal Weapon. yeah he's a huge
producer and it made b -movie money at the time
it was only really on on video and also there
is a link there is there is a link there is but
i i'm gonna i'm gonna stop i'm gonna stop fighting
against it i'm gonna say they're the same guy
even though he would be 50 okay i think what
it is i think what it is is there's a scene where
he goes in to see his wicked smart blonde bimbo
girlfriend who's not a bimbo because she's a
doctor she looks at an x -ray in one scene I
think he doesn't take painkillers. She's like,
do you want some anesthetic? And he's like, nah,
pain don't hurt. I think he's sober. Ooh, okay.
I think what actually happens at the end of Dirty
Dancing... She just goes home. Holiday's over.
I would agree. I would agree. I think baby goes
home to a wealthy lifestyle and forgets all about
slumming it for a summer. Yeah. And I think it
breaks his heart and he ends up on a bad path.
They think he starts drinking. Ooh, okay. I think
he ends up on the street. I think he does a few
things behind some bins to get a fix. Okay. And
then he hits rock bottom and he goes, I've got
to clean up my act. Yeah. And he goes to AA.
Yeah. And that's where he gets his philosophy
from. Okay. That's where he begins to connect
with his inner self. He realizes he's been looking
outward, blaming the world for everything. He's
not looking in. He's not seeing the need. I like
this. You know, he's had his velvet cushions
on and he's not experienced the world. Okay.
So then he starts doing Tai Chi for spiritual
reasons. Yeah. And he needs a job. And you know
what? He leaves Johnny Castle behind. Johnny
Castle is everything. He didn't do it for him.
He becomes a new man. I love this. The name Johnny
Castle doesn't describe who he is anymore. He's
not that guy anymore. He's going to put baby
right in that fucking corner. Yeah. Forget about
me. I'm a banger horse on a roof, mate. Exactly.
There we go. There we go. I like this. I'm going
to sexually confuse some farmers and bang a horse
in full view of our ex. Do you know what my favourite
thing about your thought experiment there was?
Right. You've listened to the reason that I love
these movies and that I wanted to do this theory
is that sort of like weird childhood trauma and
escapism. And you were like, yeah. Yeah. So your
hero, your superhero. sort of guy that you used
to look up to, ended up behind bins giving head
for fixes and then started abusing women. And
I'm like, oh, that's so sweet that you've heard.
Ben, Ben, what's more heroic than a recovery
story, bro? He hit rock bottom and he clawed
his way back up. Dude, fair. That, I respect
the shit out of that. It makes me like him more,
weirdly. He's more super heroic if he's, you
know. I like to think of him more as like Johnny
Castle left Kellerman's and was like, I'm going
to get my Pechanga chance. I'm going to get my
dance. And he starts going for like Broadway.
And Broadway are like, you're good. You're good,
but you're a wild card. And we've got too many
wild cards on Broadway. It's a damn cesspit of
wild cards. We need some straight shooters. And
Johnny Castle by gosh darn it, you ain't it.
Why doesn't he go to Vegas? Just go to Vegas.
So he gets on a train to Vegas. Oh, wow. Okay,
you've got this. He gets on the Greyhound bus
to Vegas. Wow, the Greyhound. Where he tries
to make it as backup dancer for who was big in
the 60s and 70s. Siegfried and Roy. There you
go. Siegfried and Roy. He's trying to dance with
the tigers. He's like, yes, buddy, get me in.
Watch me peer away my way through this white
tiger den. He is in Vegas. He's trying to get
jobs left, right, and center. It's not... massively
panning out. He has a few little eggs here and
there. Swayze eggs. And he's like, God, man,
money's tight. I need to avoid the bins. Yeah.
Because the bins are looking tempting. I need
to avoid them. So I'll tell you what, I can just
jump on the doors here. I'm built like a brick
shithouse. I can be a bouncer. And I can fight
intoxicated 18 -year -olds. I can flirt with
20 -year -olds. And I can get paid minimum wage
and feel like a king for six hours. You know
what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think
that did it for him. And I think there he was
like, that's where he really started to shine.
But people were like, Johnny Castle, ain't you
the guy that was pirouetting across? that stage
the other night and he's like no where do you
think he got his injuries from he got mauled
by a tiger at Siegfried and Roy yeah he got stabbed
by a panda on the way into the Siegfried show
it's a famously rowdy crowd so he's like no no
no this ain't me anymore this ain't me I'm no
I'm not Johnny Castle I'm I'm J I'm James James
yeah Dalton I'm James Dalton and I'm the doorman
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I think it
just blossomed from there. Dalton gains his notoriety
throughout Vegas. Vegas spreads to California.
California across the nation. Okay. Known for
this Tai Chi beautiful, beautiful marble statue
of a man who can come in. fire your staff take
over all admin control of your business yeah
and as a mate who's fitter than him but somehow
25 years older it's that or he's a zodiac killer
that's those are my two theories oh that's a
good one because he's he's fun to murder dude
his kill count is huge his kill count is is too
huge his kill count is more than some horror
movies that i truly enjoy you know what i mean
yeah yeah yeah he murders a bunch of henchmen
at the end of this film a bunch of them die but
okay but now that I've got you a little bit back
on board and I've kind of guilt tripped you into
just subscribing to the theory fully on board
so I've got a few other pieces of evidence I'm
gonna say evidence because we're both fully saying
that it is 100 % the truth right now because
if not you may as well just punch baby Ben in
the face yeah okay taking the piss now but go
ahead yeah laying it on thick buddy laying it
on thick Johnny Castle and James Dalton They
both have issues with wealthy controlling figures.
They do. Dirty dancing. Johnny is constantly
belittled by the upper class at Kellerman's.
He's wrongly accused of theft. He's forced to
stay in the background and he only wins at the
end because he stands up for himself and baby
by throwing away his summer bonus, fighting for
what's right and just. Yeah. In Roadhouse. Yeah.
Dalton faces Brad Wesley. A corrupt and powerful
businessman who runs the town with an iron fist.
Wesley sees Dalton as a threat because he cannot
control him. Just like how the Kellerman staff
saw Johnny as a wild card, someone that they
cannot control, someone who is always going to
mouth off if something ain't right. Yeah. Right.
Wesley's goons, they go in to try and intimidate
Dalton, but he refuses to back down. Similar
to how Johnny refuses to back down when baby's
father disapproves of him or when he's paid to
leave Kellerman's. Okay. And again, I fully endorse
your theory and I'm happy to say yes. Sure. I'm
just going to add, Roadhouse is very much more
of like a Western remake. No, it is. It's an
80s Western set in. The sheriff pulls up and
there's varmints. illegally taxing and extorting
the locals it's pale rider it's shane it's all
that stuff right yeah of course that's a sort
of reasonable and just as you said rich authority
figure for him to kick against yeah i do feel
in dirty dancing the rich authority figure is
a father trying to stop his 17 year old getting
banged by a 25 year old we can split hairs all
right we can sit here and split hairs all day
long but are we gonna get to the bottom of this
no okay so Now, where was this attitude on the
Chaplin series, Ben? Because she was 15 and he
was in his 30s. That's wrong, Rob. Right. Okay.
Yeah. Cool. Sold, mate. Sold. Moving on. Okay.
This one is a stretch. Shut up. The same kind
of best friend slash mentors slash inspiration,
I guess. Okay. Okay. Bit of a stretch. Yeah.
All right. Read Richard's on line one. Look,
it's thin, but it's there. All right. Dirty dancing.
Johnny's got a close bond with Penny, who is
another dancer. She's a better dancer. Yeah.
She's another dancer who helps him through his
tough times. He looks out for her. They share
a deep history. In Roadhouse, Dalton has a similar
relationship with Wade Garrett, Sam Elliott's
character. Wade is an older, experienced bouncer
who serves as Dalton's mentor and best friend
because he's a better bouncer. He takes this
one person, he hyper focuses on them and he uses
their expertise and their sort of willingness
to teach as a way to better himself. So the parallels
here, Johnny and Dalton always have close confidence
who are a huge part of his world. Whether it's
Penny in dance or Wade in bar security, someone
to keep him on the straight and narrow, keep
him in check and someone who is always encouraging
him. to hone his craft and maintain his discipline.
There is never a moment where Penny's like, yeah,
fuck it, cut loose for a bit. She's like, no
dickhead, learn to tango. This is what we're
doing. Step, step, step. There's not a scene
in Dirty Dancing where Penny tries to aggressively
bang Baby in front of Johnny Castle. Would it
have made the film a better film? is the question
that we're asking this is the real question nothing
can make Dirty Dancing a better film it's perfect
in every way it's banging isn't it see after
all the hate I love that you're on board with
this it's my favourite thing 100 % on board alright
so now we've kind of been down this road But
I've written out a little thing where it's Johnny
Castle's future. Where could Dalton have come
from? After Dirty Dancing, Johnny Castle was
still struggling to find work. Yeah, yeah, we
got this. I'm down with this one. This is where
it is. I'm down with this one. So he couldn't
sustain that career. Takes the door jobs. Ends
up bouncer. Loses the name. Yeah. You know what
I mean? Yeah, yeah. Fair, fair, fair. Plus, if
you think about it, Dalton feels like someone
that's used to handling this kind of world. He's
used to handling people knowing who he is. Okay,
okay. I'm going to hit you with three facts now.
Give it. And these are incontrovertible facts.
Mm -hmm. And they may add to your theory. They
may take away from it. Okay. I'm going to let
you decide. Yeah. We mentioned him earlier. Joel
Silver, the producer of the movie, made Weird
Science, Brewster's Millions, Lethal Weapon,
Predator, Die Hard. Hit me. Did you know he invented
Ultimate Frisbee? I did not know this, but it
makes me like him more. Right. Yeah. I had no
idea. I was just researching this movie. I was
like, right, okay, Ben's bringing some in -universe
stuff. And there was lots that was interesting.
But the idea that Joel Silver has been inducted
into the USA Ultimate Hall of Fame for inventing
Ultimate Frisbee. Right. At Columbia High School.
Okay. Right. Yeah. I think a man who invents
Ultimate Frisbee sees Dirty Dancing and goes,
but what about the young lads? What if we just
did the exact same film? We had the exact same
relationships. We had the exact same actor. But
we just tweaked the formula a little bit. Yeah.
And made it for lads. Perfect. Perfect. All day
long. Because it worked. It worked. Secondly,
this was used in police training, causing a massive
political scandal. Incredible. Wait, Roadhouse
was used in police training, like actual real
life police training? Americans, I'm sorry for
everything that's going on with you guys right
now. But I'm also sorry you live in a world where
after the death of Eric Garner, famously, unfortunately,
his last words were, I can't breathe. At the
NYPD, show the Swayze scene. to all of their
new recruits about the three rules for avoiding
violent conflict. Expect the unexpected, don't
instigate, and be nice. That's fucking insane.
That's actually insane. I'm not a fan of Roadhouse,
but I think it's excellent at what it does. And
it sets out what it does. I can see that this
is your perfect film, and I love how much you
love Roadhouse. Thank you, man. I'm so incredibly
glad Roadhouse exists so that you can watch it.
Yeah. It's not for me, but nonetheless. You haven't
seen it on VHS. You're moving up here soon. Do
you know, I would never put it on after. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, I would draw a line. You know what
I mean? Right. After a national tragedy and a
police brutality incident, I might not go, I
might stick Roadhouse in. Right. Right. The film
where somebody sells kissing his girlfriend's
boobs for $20. Hey, man, everyone's got to get
by. You know what I mean? Right. And then only
starts a fight when the guy. doesn't kiss him
because he doesn't have $20. And then everyone
fights, causing thousands of dollars of property
damage. Them tits were worth it. Did you see
them? They were fine. Fine enough to cost thousands
of pounds worth of damage to the double deuce.
And this is the one that I'm most excited to
tell you, Ben. Go on. It's a true story. Oh,
you knew. Oh, damn it. What is it? Damn it. It's
a true story. What you're about to tell me is
a true story. No, Rotas. Oh, right. I thought
you were going to carry on with something like,
this is a true story. I have got a true story
for later. Okay. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like
a... It's an unsolved murder of a town bully.
Yes. Now, bear in mind, this is the most Missouri
name ever. Yes. Ken Rex McElroy. Yeah. Yeah.
Incredible. God, that makes me so jealous. Rex.
Right, Ken Rex, K .R. McElroy. Amazing. Was shot
in front of 30 people, none of whom could name
the gunman. God damn. They all just went, didn't
see anything. So this is my point about Roadhouse,
right? When people point out the illogical mental
ending where everyone just hides the guns and
then goes, did you see anything? yeah a polar
bear fell on me that was a henchman whose boss
has just been brutally murdered freshly murdered
in front of his face yeah and the only thing
he can do is a shit quip dude i'm telling you
when people look at that and everyone's having
a little giggle like well that wouldn't happen
it fucking did though didn't it it did though
it did this is my point that was the moment i
went okay you see okay maybe maybe truth is stranger
than fiction This is what I'm saying. Dude, America
is a mental place. It is just the weirdest place
on the planet. I've travelled... Southeast Asia
was incredible, right? Middle East, incredible.
Like, all across Europe, incredible. America
was by far the weirdest place I've ever been
because of how mental it is. I had a taxi driver
once say, do an American accent and order a taco.
Pulled into a drive -thru and I was like, why?
And he was like, I'll give you the taxi ride
for free. Just for fun. That was just what he
did for a bit of a giggle. Okay, that's good.
Here's a British man. I'm going to pull into
a drive -thru, do an American accent. And if
it's good, I'll give you the taxi ride for free.
I was like, I just want to go to the beach. Please,
I don't feel safe. I don't want a taco bell.
I would just very much like to go to the beach.
Thank you so much. Yeah. You're very kind. Incredible.
Obviously, I did it because it was hilarious.
Free taxi ride, by the way. Nice. Speaking of
true stories, I do have a true story that I've
been dying to tell. I've been dying to tell,
but I've not had any, like, there's been no film
that's had a good synergy with the story. Okay,
if this is your true life account of how you
once roadhoused someone. Sort of. There's a spin
kick involved. As long as it's not a throat rip,
I'm alright. No, no, no throat rip. Yeah, sounds,
sounds, sounds. Right, it's mainly to do... The
link here is bouncers. I was a bouncer for a
while. Okay. I did a brief stint as a bouncer.
I did spin kick somebody. Were you a bouncer?
Now, firstly, let me make it abundantly clear
that the party I went to... They made it very
clear that the bouncy castle was for all ages.
You are a f***ing idiot. Ben, I've needed to
crowbar this story in for so long. This is the
best I can do. Okay. So, Colleague had a birthday
party and her parents, they did like a joint
affair where it was like her mum's birthday,
her dad's birthday and her birthday were all
being celebrated at once, right? Yeah. Big age
gaps. So, there was a lot of people and a lot
of families and a lot of elderly people and a
lot of kids. So, they rented a bouncy castle.
And I attended the party under the guise of being
a good friend to this colleague. But it was,
I'm not ashamed to admit, almost entirely. Because
when she invited me, she said, we're getting
a bouncy castle. And bitch loves herself a bouncy
castle, right? Right. So I get there. I start
drinking. This isn't that long ago. This is like
six months ago. It's quite a well -to -do party.
She's far richer than I imagined. I thought it
was going to be like a bouncy castle in a driveway
of like a housing development. It's not. They've
got like a farmhouse. Her parents are farmers.
They've got like four fucking kitchens. It's
insane. They're good with horses. They're good
with horses. I'm quite shy. and my friends and
i just sort of loitered like sex offenders near
the castle yeah but viewing viewing the children
with hate though so if anything that's the opposite
of sex offense yeah it's more abuse we were like
leering with like you get off the castle because
we didn't want to get on there anyway i digest
you were raging against the machine But like,
if they released a kid's book. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Eventually, my colleague gets on the mic
because they had a PA assistant. The whole thing
was insane. Sure. And she reiterated because
she'd seen us and she was like, look, the Bounce
Castle's for everyone. It's not age restricted.
Right. So like, at that point, that's the most
opportune moment. Like, everyone's just heard
that. Yeah. So me and my colleagues, we just
got on it. We rushed it. Yeah, of course. With
such joy. that a few of us kind of bounced on
and took flight. On the way, I may or may not
have spin kicked, spun cuck, spin cacked. Spun
kicked? Spun kicked a child. Spin kicked. Yeah,
spin kicked a child, but like right in the spine.
Well, their spines are tiny and kids are made
of rubber and magic. They're bendy, right? So
this is what we thought. I felt bad, but we all,
because we all went on at the same time, we bounced
and then we forgot that we would still have forward
momentum. So we like hit the side wall. Like
geese painting a fucking windshield of a plane.
Yeah. And then so the castle, which has got a
roof, bends. Okay. The attached roof then pulls
across. And what had once been like an inviting
drawbridge portcullis situation pulls itself
into like a... Like a horrifying horizontal galvanized
rubber vulva. Amazing. Which just like winks
closed like a Cronenberg -esque birth in reverse.
Sure. So now like there's no light because the
mouth is closed. What a kid party. Leaving like...
Four chefs. Sure. And like 10, about 10, like
young, far too young for something like this
to have happened to them. Right. Like stuck inside
an anaerobic PVC womb that's just devoid of light.
Jesus Christ. The screaming, Ben, was so close.
It was, it was no reverb, right? It's how I imagine
limbo. It's just darkness and the screams of
the unbaptized young. Just dead pan sound with
no echo whatsoever. yeah right that's horrendous
and then finally we managed to like get ourselves
off the wall it springs back to shape and then
we just left yeah we just had to leave happy
birthday here's some trauma bye that's amazing
that was when I was a bouncer and I did a spin
kick yeah that's your that's your roadhouse story
I've been sat on that for so long and I'm like
bouncy castles are not in enough films they're
not right okay well i'm glad we got to hear this
now that's that thank you yeah this makes me
i feel i feel clean i feel good i feel it's like
a confession all right you know well i'm happy
with this man i'm i'm feeling i'm feeling pretty
good about it and i'm also glad that i've sort
of guilt tripped you into you know verbally 100
true agreeing for it to be 100 truth 100 true
can't wait to see what johnny castle gets up
to in point break james dalton johnny castle's
dead now Johnny Castle's dead. He's left in behind.
Exactly. Don't dead name Dalton. Don't dead name
Dalton. That's a t -shirt. Oh, speaking of t
-shirts. Nobody dead names Dalton. There you
go. Yes. I've got a new idea for some Patreon
merch based on this film. We got the t -shirt
up. Lovely. We do. I've got another idea. So
there's a scene in this film where a thug enters
the Double Deuce. Yes. With a knife shoe. With
a knife shoe, yeah. Yeah, he's got like a shoe
where he kicks the heel and a little knife comes
out. Rob, you said knife shoe. There's no sort
of mysterious contraption where people are like,
well, I wonder what a knife shoe could be. Uncomfortable
footwear. But his doctor bird, his horse doctor
has just arrived. Dr. Elizabeth Clay. Dr. Elizabeth
Clay just won the Grand National. Stop calling
her horse. It's so upsetting. Okay. She does
have a long face. I did keep thinking the film
would switch aspect ratio. But anyway, she arrives
and then seconds later they arrive and they're
like, we're going to beat you up. And he dispatches
them so easily that I can only think about 20
minutes later he slips them a 50 and is like,
cheers for doing me a solid. Okay. So I think
as a Patreon, maybe for the Absolute Legends
or maybe as a sale, I'm willing to attack the
purchaser with a knife shoe in front of their
medically trained crush. Ooh. And let them win.
Okay. And I'll do like a 1930s gangster accent.
I'll do all sorts. Look here, see? Yeah. Give
me your money and your wallet. Honestly, mate.
And then they can completely flatten me. It doesn't
matter what your level of fitness is. Yeah. I
will lose. I will make it look convincing. I'm
very good at losing fights. Yeah, but also very
good at making knife shoes, apparently. Right,
mate. I'm a chef. Do you know what I mean? Fair.
You know what I mean? I've got a new job now.
I don't need the knife. I can put it in a shoe.
Just out of curiosity, dear listeners, if anyone
out there is trying to bang a nurse or doctor.
Or a horse. Or a horse. Email us and just let
us know whether beating a man with a knife shoe
would help. I'm desperate to know. Two blokes
in a field having a fight in front of a bewildered
horse. It's got no clue why this is happening.
It doesn't speak English. Yeah, but also I think
a horse would understand a knife. Oh, maybe.
Dear listener, if you are a vet or a vet nurse,
email us and let us know. Do horses know what
knives are? And if not, could you ask one? Thank
you in advance. I'm going to wrap up this theory
where we are right now. Please do. Johnny Castle
has become James Dalton. He's progressed into
philosophy. He's shed his dancing past. He's
now focused on spirituality, philosophy. He's
still into his Tai Chi because he's very choreographed.
He's very flexible. He's very gorgeous. Delicious
Swayze. Yes, please. Swayze eggs. And now what
we're going to do, dear listener, is we're going
to check back in with our dearest James Dalton.
I'm going to start calling him Johnny Dalton.
I'm going to blend them together. You know what
I mean? Yeah. Johnny Dalton. Donnie dancing.
And we're going to keep up. With our Johnny Dalton.
In next week's episode, which is going to be
on Point Break, we're going to check in when
Johnny Dalton is evolved further into Bodhi.
There's a few circumstantial bits of evidence
in Point Break, which sort of, I don't know whether
they're like Swayze Easter eggs or like direct
things, but whatever it is, it's fun universe
building. No, it's 100 % true, Ben. We've decided
to do that this episode. It's reality. That's
it. It's just popcorn movies being nothing but
popcorn movies and also treatment for childhood
trauma. Incredible. Or just before we wrap the
show up, if you enjoyed this episode and you
want to support the show, you can leave us a
review. Tell a friend about us. It helps more
than you know. Let us know what you think about
this theory. Find us on socials. Chip in. If
you've got evidence for or against, we want to
know. You think you can disprove this theory?
Let us know. We'll fight you in the show where
you can't fight back. We'll just read your messages
out loud and make an episode out of it. Like
a real podcast. You can support the show over
on Patreon for as little as a pound a month.
Guys, we appreciate each and every one of you
so much and I cannot stress this enough because
we're hitting 100 ,000 downloads. We've sort
of mentioned it earlier and moved on from it.
thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts
because that is insane to think that two rambling
knobheads are worthy of 100 ,000 downloads. It
makes no sense to me. But honestly, it's probably
the proudest achievement that I've got to date
and I've got to do it with you, my best mate.
Oh, babe, same. And it's literally, it's, yeah,
it's fucking incredible. Thank you so much. Seriously.
Next week, we're going to be doing Point Break.
Go and watch the movie now. Because it's worth
it. It's incredible. Get it in your eyeballs.
It's fantastic. Fire your gun up in the air and
go, ah. Keanu Reeves on a surfboard. Get it in
you. He peels the skin off chicken. It's so weird.
It's weird. It's got Nick Nolte in it before
he cared so much about buttered sausage. What?
That's Gary Busey. Oh, Gary Busey. They are quite
interchangeable. Nick Nolte and Gary Busey are
quite interchangeable. I get them confused all
the time. Okay. This is a weird way to end. Guys,
thank you so much for hanging out. Been an absolute
pleasure. We love and appreciate all of you.
We'll see you next week. We really, really do.
And to thank you for spending an hour of your
week with us, especially at the start of the
week. We know a lot of you listen on a Monday.
Ben is going to wrap up this week's episode.
The thoughts, themes and feelings of this film.
into a Monday motivational pep talk. Rating.
What are we rating the film? Fat 10? Oh yeah,
rated. Obviously fat 10. Eh, it's a 7. F*** off.
While I just tell you to consume. Listen, right,
if there's one lesson that we can take from Roadhouse,
it's that throat ripping is an effective way
to get laid. Alright, like this. Dalton has throat
ripped two men and gotten away with both of them.
The sheriff in that town witnessed, arrived at
a fresh murder scene. There was a body in the
lake, no more than a hundred meters away of Jimmy
Reno. All right. And Jimmy Reno was missing his
throat. Dalton then swims in Jimmy Reno's grave
with a naked horse girl, bangs her. I've not
considered that. They're swimming in a crime
scene. They're swimming in a grave.
