Twister (1996) Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton & Cary Elwes

Twister (1996) Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton & Cary Elwes

Henrique and David chase the storm with Twister (1996), Jan de Bont’s Oklahoma disaster adventure starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton and Cary Elwes. Hunt plays meteorologist Jo Harding, whose obsession with tornadoes is rooted in a terrifying childhood loss. Paxton is Bill, her estranged husband and former storm chaser, who arrives seeking divorce papers with therapist Melissa Reeves—only to be pulled back toward Jo, their research team and a dangerous outbreak.
The mission centers on Dorothy, a container of sensors designed to enter a tornado and gather data that could improve warning systems. Rival researcher Jonas Miller has built a suspiciously similar device, turning scientific urgency into a race across the plains. Henrique and David admire how the ensemble—including Philip Seymour Hoffman’s exuberant Dusty—creates a lived-in storm-chasing community, and they praise Jami Gertz for making Melissa sympathetic rather than treating her as a disposable obstacle to Bill and Jo’s reconciliation.
Their review follows the roadside hail, airborne debris, the memorable flying cow and the drive-in sequence where a tornado tears through screenings of The Shining and Psycho. Aunt Meg’s Wakita home gives the team a brief refuge before the damage becomes personal, while the final F5 pursuit pushes Bill and Jo directly into the storm. The hosts argue that escalating tornado encounters, clear geography and brisk pacing make the spectacle easy to follow even when the weather becomes overwhelming.
Production discussion covers de Bont’s large-scale action direction and Steven Spielberg’s suggestion that Jo’s father die in the opening, establishing both the tornadoes’ danger and her lifelong motivation. The oil-tanker explosion had to be reset after the first blast was mistimed, and harsh lighting used to create stormy contrast caused Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton temporary eye trouble. The hosts also note that the story unfolds across roughly twenty-four hours, reinforcing its relentless momentum.
Both hosts grew up with Twister through VHS, cable broadcasts and repeated family viewings. David recalls being frightened enough by the opening that his mother stopped the tape, while Henrique connects the movie’s danger to memories of destructive tornadoes near Dayton. Henrique recommends renting this near-perfect example of a 1990s blockbuster; David gives it a buy for its rewatchability, practical scale, beloved ensemble and ability to make storm science, relationship drama and popcorn spectacle move as one.

26
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:30.639
of course your host, Enrique Kuto
here with Double D the master of Twister

27
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.280
himself, Louis Denyer. Greetings everybody, and so Twister is your favorite game?

28
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.719
I mean I used to play a
lot most kid. Really, I

29
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.520
wasn't very good at it. I
mean I was fair at it. God,

30
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.280
I would love to actually try twister. It's been forever. Well now

31
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:53.199
you're over thirty. Good luck.
It's called sleeping eight hours. How do

32
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.039
you bend the way that you just
said? That hurt more than I think

33
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.400
you meant for it too, But
at the same time probably not. No,

34
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.759
I mean again, because the creaky
bone is going to start to hurt.

35
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.960
It's going to start to hurt and
bone dry bone. I had like

36
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.919
a slip disc from sleeping once.
I mean I hurt myself when I sleep

37
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.800
a lot too well. I mean, you abuse yourself before you go to

38
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.319
sleep. So I have terrible posture
and back issues. What do you want?

39
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.920
You have had a bad back,
like as long as I've known you,

40
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.399
Oh yeah, what did you do
to it? I was just I'm

41
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:29.680
just tall. Tall people just have
back problems unfortunately. I mean that I

42
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.839
have terrible posture, and I mean
you have rough bad posture. And the

43
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.600
other thing is that with my bad
posture is I I used to like sleep

44
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.720
in probably the most oddest of positions, like I could easily like crash on

45
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.519
my on my couch growing up as
a kid at my parents' house. I

46
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.079
would sleep to where it was like
I would almost be in like a j

47
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.279
formation, like I would have my
head like cocked a certain way back and

48
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.959
want like it's weird. I slept
in really weird positions growing up. I

49
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.639
just didn't sleep on a bed for
ten years. There. Yes, there's

50
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.079
that too. I mean I don't
think it hurt my back. Actually I

51
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.000
think it was good for my back. You never know. Well, anyway,

52
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:14.879
Uh, tonight, we're kicking off
our summer film. We're continuing continuing,

53
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.759
continuing our summer last week American Summer, yes, which was quite the

54
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.600
memory lane trip. Yes. But
before we get to that, did you

55
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.839
want to touch on Maxine a little
bit? Because we Yeah, I think

56
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.759
we should. Actually literally just saw
it. Just got back from the theater

57
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.680
after seeing Maxine. And now that
I've said Maxine three times, YouTube's gonna

58
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.839
shadow Bannus because it thinks I'm saying
Vaccine. Probably I would not doubt that.

59
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.240
But no, we just went to
see Ty West's latest film, Maxine,

60
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.199
which is of course the third in
the X trilogy with X and Pearl

61
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:54.839
and then Maxine. Even though technically
Pearl X and then Maxine. Well,

62
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.959
it's the order of release, not
the order of the sub jury. I'm

63
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.680
just saying chronologically, well, well, I mean chronolog I guess like in

64
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.839
canon chronologically, yes, but the
Pearls the prequel, and then X and

65
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.360
then Maxine's the sequel. Do you
always watch Back to the Future three first

66
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.800
because you're like, well, well, this is the Old West. I've

67
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.879
ever thought about it that way.
You know, maybe I should Maybe I

68
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.120
should start with three, go to
one and then two from now on.

69
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.439
Or you know what you could do
is because you got the box set,

70
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.199
right, would you have the blue
ear of the forte? I got the

71
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.759
Blue ray, the Blue one.
Shove it up your ass. Hey,

72
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.839
mister, fancy fucking four K though
you don't have the complete series the TV

73
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.439
series that the Blu Ray does?
I know? But I was one of

74
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.680
the people who found it on eBay
when it was fourteen dollars and they decided

75
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.040
to honor the price instead of admitting
they messed up. There is that?

76
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.040
So that four K was was a
delight? Yes, anyway, I love

77
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.319
Amazon when they messed things. Oh
this was this was on eBay but it

78
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.959
was Universal's own store. Oh was
it that one that got like where people

79
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.439
were getting like the dextra complete series
for like twenty bucks and whatnot. We

80
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.680
were like, it was so bizarre
there was an eBay store that got majorly

81
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.600
messed U. No, it was. It was Universal's eBay store that that

82
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.839
was selling Back to the Future four
K all three films for fourteen dollars and

83
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.040
everybody was buying them. They were
like, we'll see if they honor it,

84
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.959
and they honored most of them.
So I got mine in the mail.

85
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.639
We've had a couple slip ups that
we've taken advantage of. My favorite

86
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:19.959
is probably still to this day,
is is a Savini Jason. Oh yeah,

87
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.639
we all were able to just buy
the glitch on the Friend of the

88
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.120
You're not talking about Maxine though,
Sorry, Okay, yes, we went

89
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.680
to a I mean, by the
time you're watching this, it'll be out

90
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.199
nationally. But we went to a
preview screening the day before the fourth of

91
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.199
July in the early access and I
enjoyed it. Yeah, I was a

92
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:48.199
little I was a little disappointed.
But for the record, I consider Pearl

93
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.959
a five star film. It's a
masterpiece. So when I say something didn't

94
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.839
live up to Pearl, that's high
praise. Yeah. So I was honestly,

95
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.439
like part of me was hoping,
It's like, what if this blows

96
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.000
me away? Just like Pearl?
Did. Yeah, but X also did

97
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.399
not blow me away. No.
I thought X was fun. I thought

98
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.920
Pearl was a masterpiece. Yeah,
and I thought Maxine was a fun eighties

99
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.399
romp. It was. It was
a good conclusion for the series if if

100
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.279
they stick with it, because you
told me as we were driving back here

101
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.399
that Ty West did say that if
it does well, there might be he

102
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.519
would be thinking he would be willing
to develop another one. I'm just gonna

103
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.639
go on record there does not need
to be a fourth one. I think

104
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.600
it's a it's a nice, neat
trilogy. Each one takes place in a

105
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.960
different decade, yeah, which I
thought is a cool concept. But uh,

106
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.559
and they're they're all massively different.
Yeah, No, absolutely. I

107
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.360
mean you've got X, which is
which is like basically Texas chainsaw slasher film

108
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.080
with with porn mixed in. Yes, I mean porn's more of the theme

109
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.159
rather than the actual point action.
Yeah. Then you've got Pearl, which

110
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.679
is a complete just descent into madness
character study, God Allah, Wizard of

111
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:05.159
Oz. Yeah, you're not wrong. And then Maxine is basically the final

112
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.399
conclusion to all that, where her
character from X is now basically a big

113
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.639
porn star and she's also trying to
break into movies, but somebody from her

114
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.480
past has come back. It takes
place in nineteen eighty five, so it's

115
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.840
right when porn was at the height
of glamour of porn had ended, and

116
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.600
now home videos taking over, and
it's kind of losing the glamour to an

117
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:35.200
extent. And I'll just say,
if you liked Pearl and you liked X,

118
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.759
there is absolutely no reason to miss
that. Maxine. Absolutely not.

119
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.480
Because it's gonna sound like I'm crapping
all over it because I have complaints.

120
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:50.000
I've realized about myself that I complain
the most about things I like, Yeah

121
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.720
you do. I bitched about the
third season of The Bear with my friend

122
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.039
Michelle for an hour, and I
like The Bear. Yeah. I thought

123
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.879
the third season was by any means
terrible. Yeah, I just had problems

124
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.559
with how some they did some of
it. With Maxine, I thought they

125
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.360
really had something interesting. Yeah,
the Jallo flourish, the Italian horror flourishes

126
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.720
were really cool. The nineteen eighties
set pieces and clothing really on points.

127
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.200
I mean they nailed the video store
shots they had. I mean just the

128
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.159
walk down Hollywood Boulevard was Yeah.
No, yeah, yeah, And I

129
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.360
mean and also I was very on
the fence with the whole night night Stalker

130
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.080
tie into it, but they handled
it well, I thought. I thought

131
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.759
it was a clever element. Yeah, and there were a lot of elements

132
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.159
of the satanic panic in there too, like that's kind of a major thing.

133
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.519
If anything, I think the night
Stalker was less of a thing than

134
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:50.879
the satanic panic element. But and
we talked about this at the theater,

135
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:56.639
I think that the third act was
not as good as the rest well of

136
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.399
the three films, and has the
most predictable plot absolutely, and that saying

137
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.799
something because X, for being a
paint by number slasher movie, is completely

138
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.080
unpredictable. That third act is so
insane. If you guessed that was going

139
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.960
to happen, I don't want to
sit in a room alone with you.

140
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.720
Yeah, and the same with Pearl. If you guessed how Pearl was going

141
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.320
to end, then your psycho.
So I liked it, but I will

142
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:28.039
admit I, without spoilers, I
guessed the killer you did, and I

143
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.639
was so disappointed that I was right. We both were. I think honestly,

144
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.039
my biggest issue with it was it
just didn't feel like any of the

145
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.360
shock value from like Pearl and X
were there in this one. It didn't

146
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.200
feel like anything was really into a
bigger scale. Well, I mean the

147
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.399
kills, some of them were insanely
gruesome. They were, Yes, I'll

148
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.120
give you that, but I agree. I mean, there the Pearl had

149
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.600
so many massive shocks, and they
were always thematic and they always mattered to

150
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.320
what was happening in the story.
And an X the shocks were a little

151
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.600
bit more predictable in that they were
horror movie shocks. Yeah, but it

152
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.960
was still a very surprising film with
a lot of crazy shit going on.

153
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.039
And you know, the one thing
that I realized now just sitting here,

154
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.879
you could actually watch all three of
those films by we'll pick one of them

155
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.679
by themselves, and it would still
stand up as a film on its own.

156
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.039
No, that's absolutely true. Yeah, that's absolutely true. I gotta

157
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.080
give credit to that. I mean, Maxine is the most sequelly sequel,

158
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.759
Yeah, obviously, because it's kind
of a direct follow up to X as

159
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.000
to where Pearl is kind of a
I mean, it is a prequel,

160
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.519
but it only has one character that's
basically that's barely in return X. But

161
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.480
it's great. I mean it's a
phenomenal film. I think you could watch

162
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.919
Pearl a million times, absolutely so, but no so I I I all

163
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.919
of this to say Maxine was a
lot of fun. It was, and

164
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.080
as I often say, if you
love horror films, the best thing you

165
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.399
can do for them is see them
in the theater. Absolutely so that we

166
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.600
keep getting them in the theater.
And if you like the other two films,

167
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.759
it's you're going to enjoy it.
Mia Gotha was great. Although that

168
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.480
was the other thing is I didn't
feel like she got to be as quite

169
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.000
well. I don't know if she
could ever be as big of a tour

170
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.840
to force as she was in Pearl
or X well an X she was an

171
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.600
ensemble. Yeah. In Pearl,
I mean that's her philm. I mean

172
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.879
she co wrote it. She you
know, was so involved. Yeah.

173
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.879
I feel like everything in comparison to
the Pearl character feels half baked. And

174
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:35.559
that's not necessarily their fault. It's
because Pearl is God damn. It's like

175
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.080
the most subtle beating of with a
baseball bat you could ever experience, Like

176
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.720
you're getting beaten with a baseball bat, but it's subtle, and by the

177
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.559
time you're bleeding. You're like,
hey, you're beating me with a baseball

178
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.360
bat. Yeah, so that's just
my opinion. What's your final thought on

179
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.240
Mexican? Final thought is go if
you are a fan of either like like

180
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.080
Henriguez said, X or Pearl Goo, see it because this is a decent

181
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.360
conclusion to the true If hopefully they
do stop here, it's still a fun

182
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.639
movie even if the I mean,
because the last twenty minutes are batshit,

183
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.639
but they're predictable. Batshit is the
weirdest thing. That was the only reason

184
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:16.639
I was a little disappointed was because
I gotten spoiled by the complete audaciousness yeah,

185
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.440
of the other two films Final Aunts, And not to give spoilers away,

186
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.919
but it was kind of funny to
me that the overall theme at the

187
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.039
end of this one also had to
do with the two trailers for the new

188
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.440
A twenty four films that are coming
out. Oh you're right. Yeah,

189
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.480
no, you're totally right. I
guess they're on a kick with that topic

190
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.840
right now. Yeah, No,
you're totally right. So that's interesting.

191
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.159
Yeah, So yeah, that was
Maxine had a good time. It is.

192
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.279
We're recording this very late at night
because the sneak what was it called

193
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.639
the early access early access screen.
There was only one today, yep,

194
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.480
so we had to see it no
matter what time it was. And then

195
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.919
jump into the show Twister. And
this is nineteen ninety six's Twister starring Bill

196
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.200
Paxton Helen Hunt. Yes, a
film that if you were a child of

197
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.480
the nineties you saw a lot on
cable on tape. I mean this we

198
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.080
joked about it before, but like
this is one of those VHS tapes that

199
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.960
we talked about where it's like when
you went to somebody's house they always had

200
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.759
a copy of Men in Black at
the Titanic two tape set and this and

201
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.159
Independence Day and Independence Day with the
with particulars I had that yep. So

202
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.320
no, I mean I agree,
it's one of those that was just ubiquitous.

203
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:37.639
Yeah, do you even movie?
Will be right back, welcome back

204
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:45.840
to do you even movie? So, uh, Dave, why don't you

205
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.559
dive into the deets on Twister?
All right? So we are talking about

206
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:54.000
Twister from nineteen ninety six, one
hour in fifty three minutes rated PG.

207
00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.240
Thirteen four intense depictions of very bad
weather. That is the actual description.

208
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:10.120
Yes, Oka, Okay, you
got him mpah. So our director on

209
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:15.200
this is Yon Debant, who gets
his start as a basically a director of

210
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.399
photography and a camera assistant. He
gets to start as DP on in nineteen

211
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.240
seventy one's Blue Movie. Then he
does John the Knife and the River in

212
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.639
seventy two, Turkish to Light in
seventy three, Private Lessons in eighty one,

213
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.399
Butcher Baker nightmare Maker in eighty one. Were those earlier films porn the

214
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.799
one of them was I think Blue
Movie was, Yeah, because some of

215
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.679
them kind of sound like they were
exploitation films. Yeah. I think I

216
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.480
think Turkish the Light and Blue Movie
might be the ones. Private Lessons I

217
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.679
know is a comedy because I've got
that in my voodoo. I didn't watch

218
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.000
it yet. Well because and since
he went into Butcher Baker nightmare Maker,

219
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.840
which he's uncredited on. God damn
it. Wait, So was there another

220
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.799
DP on it? Yeah? I
believe so, because I think we talked

221
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.279
about him on this before he shot
a movie that we cover, which I

222
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.919
think was me a second here.
He was supposed to be prepared. I

223
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.279
am prepared, but the problem is
is that there's just too much good information

224
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.039
for me to keep track of all
of it, all right, read as

225
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.160
not preparing such your mouth. All
right, So Butcher Baker nightmare Maker eighty

226
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:15.400
one, let's see cinematographer. You're
gonna want to click on all crew.

227
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:22.319
I mean, shut up, I
got it there they moved stuff around on

228
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:29.000
IMDb. All right, okay,
alright, So cinematographer was Robbie Greenberg,

229
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.079
who I know that name because he's
done something else, one other thing,

230
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.039
just one other thing. He shot
something else. We cover a single other,

231
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.200
single other thing. Snow Day.
He was a cinematographer on Snowday.

232
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.440
That's hilarious. Snow Day was shot
by the guy who shot Butcher Baker nightmare

233
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.720
Maker. That's why we always cover
the cinematographers, because you really don't know.

234
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.880
Oh just just wait. So that
he's because this is our director.

235
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.640
But he also did cinematography work.
So it is roar In eighty one as

236
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.680
well, the Tippy hedrin Lin movie
where all most people got injured. Yeah,

241
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.880

242
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.920
in nineteen ninety, Flat Liners ninety, Basic Instinct ninety two, Letha Weapon

243

four he has his directorial debut with Speed.

244
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.839

Speed two, Cruise Control in nineteen
ninety seven, the better of the two.

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.880
I will defense Speed too, even

of the United States was a shot. Yeah, on par with a Beekeeper.

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.000
Yeah. Beekeeper kept you not knowing
until the last second, like,

332
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.960
oh that's the President. Yeah yeah, no, No. Absolute Power is

343
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.400
cinematographer, which is choosed in Green
Us down to our IMDb synopsis, which

344
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.240
says, two storm chasers on the
brink of divorce must work together to create

345
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:36.799
an advanced weather alert system by putting
themselves in the crosshairs of extremely violent tornadoes.

346
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.240
I mean, that's pretty close to
dead on, So I'm gonna try

347
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:45.839
to do a better Oh okay,
my synopsis says a previous storm chaser now

348
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.880
weather man attempts to get his ex
wife to sign their divorce papers, but

349
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.799
gets roped back into storm chasing when
she reveals his prototype for an advanced weather

350
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.680
monitoring system is ready as a batch
of dangerous tornadoes unleash in the area.

351
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:03.359
Not bad, but to quote Joe
Bob Briggs, you let too much plot

352
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.039
get in the way of the story. I'm leaving good all right bye.

353
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.440
Oh man, I can't believe I
didn't even think to do this, Like

354
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:15.519
but wait, oh, I guess
it's I guess this is the perfect time.

355
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.400
There we go. Yes, we
did have a storm earlier today today,

356
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.559
Uh like there might be another one
moving in shortly. Well, it's

357
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.279
supposed to. It's supposed to rain
our entire fourth of July, yay,

358
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:32.039
which means I'll be at friends houses
eating barbecue and not smoking cigars because they're

359
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:33.200
like, you know, what's smoke
in our house? And I'm like,

360
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:38.839
shut up. I have been saying
since I became a cigar man, that,

361
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:44.039
uh, a cigar That's how I
I quantify myself. I consider my

362
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.920
love of cigars to be an element
of who I am, not a not

363
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.880
a not a hobby, a cigar
personality. And I've been saying forever that,

364
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.759
like, when I get really old, I'm just gonna have a cigar

365
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.000
lit anywhere I want to go.
And when somebody goes you can't have that,

366
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.480
I'm like, it's fun, it's
fine. You're Jason Robarms in parenthood,

367
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.880
just tearing the non smoking thing off
the walls. Did I tell you

368
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:14.480
about? There was a tweet my
buddy Andrew Heaton posted about how he was.

369
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.519
He was like, this is so
ridiculous because there was a no smoking

370
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:21.000
sign in the bathroom of an airplane
he was on. He was like,

371
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:22.519
this is so ridiculous and the good
old days when you could go out grab

372
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:29.240
a quick smoke in the bathroom and
on the sign it said destroying the sign

373
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.960
is a FAA violation. And some
random guy commented and just said, you

374
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.759
know, based on that sign biomission, you can legally destroy anything else on

375
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.519
the plane you want. And the
Heaton's response was your now, my attorney,

376
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.480
I always think about that. I
think of no smoking's good, you

377
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.759
know, they omitted everything else,
but no, no, so no cigars

378
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:55.880
on fourth of July till I'm home. We'll see, we'll see if you

379
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:00.720
make it. It's not like I
don't go five days without a stove.

380
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.880
Ye, you did just send our
group a picture, not like I think

381
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.759
it was like two weeks ago of
you double thirsting three. I was.

382
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.839
I was at a taste. Yes, I wasn't actually smoking three cigars,

383
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.559
and actually I got really dizzy,
bet not even from it was just from

384
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.880
keeping the three lit. No.
What they did was they gave us two

385
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.200
older cigars that were uh, they
were getting rid of, Yeah, and

386
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.480
you would taste them and kind of
see what was up, and then they

387
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.079
gave you a third one, which
is a brand new blend. And then

388
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:32.839
they revealed at the end of this
tasting that they were all the exact same

389
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.519
internals with different rappers. That's cool. So it was like mind blowing to

390
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.000
realize how much the rapper affected.
And then you would just smoke whichever one

391
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:41.480
you wanted the rest of the way. And yeah, but I was getting

392
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.720
like with the three cigars in my
fingers, that was getting a little funky

393
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.799
anyway. But no, no,
so the storms they are coming. So

only in one and two, right,

438
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.720
I think she was in three for
one scene okay, because I remember when

439
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.759
she got her big TV gig.
Yeah, she didn't quite have the attitude

440
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.640
that she was too good for the
B movies. Yeah, well she even

441
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.079
was in It was only like about
five or eight years ago. I want

442
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.119
to say that I see you came
out that one that she was really like

443
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.920
that. That was a good one. Yeah, Do You Even movie will

444
00:30:51.960 --> 00:31:07.079
be right back, Welcome back to
Do You Even movie? So then we

445
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.640
also have Bill Paxon in our lineup
who has plays Bill Harding in this and

446
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:14.440
he has one hundred credits on his
IMDb page. Starts in nineteen seventy five,

448
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.240
one. Oh yeah, he was

Impulse in eighty four, The Terminator
in eighty four. Yeah, and I

452
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.079
want to mention, I'm pretty sure
Crazy Mama was a Roger Cormanger Corman.

453
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.920
It was, Yes, you are
correct, because he worked as a Carpenter.

454
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.480
Yeah for Roger Corman alongside James Cameron
Cameron, Yeah, Jimmy Camm,

455
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.319
Jimmy Tam, Jimmy Cam. He
loves when you call him that. Oh

456
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.640
yeah, just like when you mentioned
his first movie ever. Oh yeah,

457
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.319
Paranya too, Anya to the spun. Oh yeah, so then he does

458
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.200
like I said, Terminator in eighty
four, Weird Science in eighty five,

459
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.559

eighty six, Near Dark in eighty
seven, Past the Ammo in eighty seven.

461
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:05.799
This might be a movie that I
have you hunt for because I can't

462
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.480
find it. You can't find Past
the Ammo? Do you know what it

463
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.279
is? No heist of a corrupt
preacher goes wrong in regards to I guess

464
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.400
I like doing a sermon and it
gets rob But it's Bill Paxton, Tim

465
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:21.680
Curry, Annie Potts and who is
the other big name in this? Like

466
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:23.559
there's one more? I mean Paul
with Innvictor is in it from Freddy's Nightmares.

467
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:27.480
Hey, but no, I've heard
this movie is really good and I

468
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.200
cannot find it. Joel Cohen wrote
it, Okay, so Joel and Neil

469
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.279
Cohen wrote it, I really have
been dying to see it, so we

470
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:36.519

480
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:13.319
that's that's one of my favorite film. That might be. The Last

481
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:16.839
Supper is an excellent film. I
will say it seems like pretty much by

482
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:22.000
ninety yeah, he was just flying
a rocket to the moon. I mean

487
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.839
my personal favorite that I'm Gonna End
on Club Dread in two thousand and four,

488
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.200
where replays Coconut Pee Yes, and
you don't even have Big Love on

489
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:43.119
there? No, I do not. I'm sorry, which is one of

490
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.640
his fine but seriously one of his
finest performances on the HBO series Big Love.

491
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:49.640
Yeah, unfortunately he passed away way
too young, way too young,

492
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.119
and way too soon. It was
some kind of a mishap with his a

493
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:57.640
surgery. He's tragic. Yeah,
I was very and that's why he is

494
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.200
only at one hundred credits, because
otherwise he'd be in freaking oh anything.

495
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.680
He was. He was really going
those last couple of years because I mean

496
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.240
he was in like there was two
guns. He was. He was a

497
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.480
producer a Nightcrawler and he was Yeah, you're right, Yeah he was.

498
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:15.400
He was. I don't know why
he thought or anybody thought we wouldn't recognize

499
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.559
him in a Nightcrawler. He's that
other news gatherer yeah, but he's also

500
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.599
a security guard that you never see
their face. Yep. But I'm like,

501
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.159
that's fucking Bill Pakista. Yeah,
it's I love Bill Paxton. But

502
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:28.239
it's not like he would just walk
into a crowd and I'd be like,

503
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.119
Oh, where'd Bill Paxtick go?
No, I'd spot him. So other

504
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.000
credit we have listed on IDV is
carry Elways, who plays doctor Jonas Miller

505
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:37.960
one hundred and thirty seven credits on
his resume. Well, you know what

506
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.119
they say when you need a British
asshole. I mean, I love him.

507
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.119
He's a great actor. Yeah,
but he just is so easy to

508
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.800
hate. Yeah, he's so easy
to hate. That was the first joke

509
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.119
I made when we were first watching
the film again. I was like,

510
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:53.679
Oh, they need a jerk,
so there he is, well on some

511
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.000
jerk. One of my all time
favorite roles of his, or one of

512
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.159
my favorite reveals of his, is
spoilers. If you haven't seen all of

513
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:01.519
the Saw films, this is your
spoiler alert right now. If you want

514
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:07.960
to push that oh h that used
to be put on the spot spoiler alert.

515
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.480
So if you haven't seen the Saw
films, there you go. The

516
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.559
way that they wrapped him up in
that series with bringing him back in that

517
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.079
last what was the last movie at
the time, and revealing how he basically

518
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:21.320
helped Jake Saw. I fucking loved
that. That was pretty good. That

519
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:24.800
was solid. I think my favorite
performance of his is in The Crush.

520
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.880
Oh The Crush is great. I
feel like he does such a good job

521
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:34.280
of getting across how afraid you would
be of this underage girl both trying to

522
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:37.400
screw you and then destroy you.
And her dad is Kurt Woodsmith. I

523
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:39.360
love that. I was just thinking
about that scene where he's like, I

524
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:45.719
just imagine some kid showing up to
pick her up with a heart on and

525
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.280
his hiding in his pants, and
I just imagine how hard it'd be not

526
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.679
to just cut it off. It's
a great scene. Oh, that's a

527
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:54.880
great film. One hundred and thirty
seven credits. He gets to start in

528
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.440
seventy nine with Yesterday's Hero, Oxford
Blues in eighty four, The Bride in

529

and the Brain in ninety eight,
Quest for Camelot, the Outer Limits,

537
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:29.440
Shadow of the Vampire in two thousand. Oh yeah, I love Shadow of

538
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.960
the Vampire, of course you do, dude, don't even We may even

539
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:36.800
do that to support no s Feratu
remake coming out, and we'll see,

540
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.840
we'll see, we'll see. Has
anything to piss off Flaurin Stoker. That's

fair, fuck Florn Stoker. Night

then Saw in two thousand and four. Always he is just really tearing it

544
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.679
up right now with Hallmark in Christmas
movies, especially like A Castle for Christmas

545
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:58.239
and whatnot, or those Netflix ones. I can't. Oh, he's been

546
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.480
doing a lot of indies too.
Yeah, but no, he is awesome.

547
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.000
Other members of the cast that I
do want to mention real quick.

548
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:07.880
We have, of course Philip Seymour
Hoffan who plays Dusty in this, Jamie

549
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:13.119
Gertz, Lois Smith, Alan ruck
Sean Whalin todd Field. We've also got

550
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:16.960
nearly every character actor of the Never
characters in the nineties. Yeah. So

551
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:22.280
also Jeremy Davies of course from a
justified and Helter Skelter fame. And it's

552
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.719
worth mentioning this film is an Ambulan
production. It's produced by Steven Spielberg yep,

553
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:31.079
so it has that kind of clout
and gloss to it of those ambulin

554
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:35.360
movies. And as of this recording, it is available to stream. You

555
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.280
can find it on a couple apps. So if you search on your Roku

556
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:39.480
or streaming device where you have,
you will be able to find Twister and

557
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.280
watch it. But also if you
don't on Twister, that's your problem right

558
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.039
now too. Oh well, way
to spoil what you're gonna say at the

559
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.760
end. I mean I haven't said
that yet. I just said just just

560
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:50.559
saying, you know, if you
don't have access to Twister, that's your

561
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.920
own fault. Okay, who doesn't
have access to Twister. This movie's fantastic

562
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:59.400
people in Africa with no electricity.
All right, well that's fair. Well

563
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.440
now I feel bad, Yeah you
should, that's fair. You're ready into

564
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.639
the movie? Sure? All right? So we open with or excuse me?

565
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:07.599
Oh wait? Oh well, let
me back up. No, what

566
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:13.840
was your first time watching Twister?
Enrique? Oh gosh, we rented it

567
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:17.320
on tape from Blockbuster or yeah,
no, from probably Blockbuster or one of

568
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.000
the nearby video stores. Uh,
if it came out in ninety six.

569
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:29.519
Yeah, we probably rented at Blockbuster. The commercial was always on TV when

570
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:35.039
it came into theaters and it came
onto home video, and everybody was always

571
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.880
even if you hadn't seen the movie, would would quote the cow joke.

572
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:42.400
Yeah, you know, a cow, another cow, same one. And

573
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.000
that's what I remember the most,
is like, ha ha ha, So

574
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:51.440
I had to rent it, yeah
and watch it. I remember being deeply,

575
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:58.280
deeply scared because I grew up in
Ohio and we have tornadoes. We

576
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.679
do, and I I several times
in my childhood we would uh we never

577
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:07.400
I've never lived in a house with
a basement. Okay, so several times

578
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.280
in my childhood we would get in
the bathtub and wade it out. So

579
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:19.199
I was already very afraid of severe
thunderstorms when I was very young anyway,

580
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.519
So when the movie came out on
VHS, I was like eleven years old,

581
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.760
so I was still pretty afraid.
I was so afraid of bad storm,

582
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:31.880
Like if we had a tornado warning, then for like five or six

583
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.320
weeks afterward, I would religiously watch
the weather channel, and if like rain

584
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.960
happened, my Aunt Betty would come
and sit with me until the because I

585
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:46.079
would get so scared when I was
a little kid, because I mean because

586
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:50.199
we got tornado. I mean we've
got tornadoes as recently as twenty nineteen,

587
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.400
we had a severe, devastating tornado
here in Dayton. Yeah. So but

588
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:57.239
yeah, that was when I first
saw and then I've seen it on cable

589
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:01.320
literally as recently as three weeks ago. So it is it is really,

590
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.239
it's always somewhere. It absolutely is. So my first time watching it,

591
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:10.920
Mom had rented this from Kroger's Video
store because our Kroger had the video store

592
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:14.159
still at this point. Wow.
Yeah, I don't know exactly when my

593
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:15.960
Kroger got rid of theirs, but
it would it couldn't have been much later

594
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:21.440
than ninety six. So we get
it from the video store. And I'm

595
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:23.840
four years old at this point,
so my recollection of this isn't super strong.

596
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.639
But I remember Mom sits us down
to watch it. Me and Erica

597
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.079
and Mom are watching it, and
it's the opening, and you know,

598
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.159
we see the dad get taken and
then all of a sudden, like Eric

599
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.719
and I I think both started crying
because that was just very intense, because

600
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.880
Eric would have been seven and I
was four at the time. And so

601
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.159
Mom stops it. Mom stops the
tape. I don't know if I don't

602
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.719
know if days pastor we rented it
again, but this movie just became a

603
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.880
regular staple around our house, on
cable, on the VHS table, on

604
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:57.559
the DVD we eventually got. I've
probably seen Twister close to twenty five or

605
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.559
thirty times. That sounds low.
Sounds low, yeah, I mean it

606
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:02.760
could be, it could be more
than that. But I've seen this movie

607
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:07.559
a lot. I love this movie. I probably average two watches of this

608
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:13.320
movie each year, honestly, then
thirties low probably all right, I mean

609
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.000
that's fair enough. It's hard to
tell because it's because any time it's on

610
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:19.039
TV, I will sit down and
watch it. Like, even if I'm

611
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:21.280
at my parents' house not intending to
stay, if they have Twister on,

612
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:24.000
I will sit down and watch it, because how do you not. I

613
00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:30.000
mean I I've definitely been pulled in
for Twister a few times. But that's

614
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:31.320
how I am with like Back to
the Future, back to the Futures on

615
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:35.639
TV. Yeah, no matter where
it is in the film, I'm gonna

616
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:37.639
sit down and watch it. It's
just how Back to the Future is,

617
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:42.159
how Raiders the Lost Arc is,
Twister, Twister, Bromstargers, Dracula,

618
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:47.199
and probably the other one would be
honestly, Halloween or Halloween two. Those

619
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:52.159
are my drop the remote movies if
they're on TV. Halloween two. I

620
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.960
love Halloween too, And you know
this well. To me, what makes

621
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.519
a movie a drop the remote is
that it is on all the time as

622
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.920
well. Yeah, And that's why
I go like Back to the Future,

623
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:04.920
Raiders of Lost Arc, you know, because those were on TV a lot,

624
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.239
and those were ones where literally I
would be flipping yeah and then go

625
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.559
hey, twenty minutes into Back to
the Future and then it was over,

626
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.079
and I'm like, oh, where
did my afternoon go? I will say

627
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:17.719
on that note that like anytime we
had a family gathering for like a solid

628
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:22.159
like ten years, Happy Gilmour was
always on TV whenever we had like a

629
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:25.599
gathering with Dad's side of the family. That's that's bizarre. It was weird

630
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:29.079
fair. It was always just because
it was a joke for a while,

631
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:30.119
because like we'd be like, okay, let's slip on see how you know,

632
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:34.519
and we would always find it.
Like I wish I was old enough

633
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:37.719
to remember when beast Master was on
like every day. I remember you,

634
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:39.480
I remember you saying that. Well, they used to. That was a

635
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:44.360
running joke on HBO. HBO was
called hey beast Masters on No but but

636
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:47.320
TBS was called the beast Master Station. Yeah, because it was just playing

637
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:52.280
ad nauseum. See. And I
feel like TBS back in my day had

638
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:57.880
Jaws on all the time. I
don't feel like Jaws was a large TBS

639
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.000
was was pretty big into comedy by
the point. Yeah, well dinner in

640
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:04.679
a movie and TNT was the place
where you would go for drama. TNT

641
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.000
had Jaws and carry those two.
I remember distinctly being on a lot too,

642
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:14.039
but I don't So getting into the
film, we open with a shot

643
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:17.079
of a storm moving in into what
is what is a nice town and we

644
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:22.320
see that it is June nineteen sixty
nine. Nice. So we cut to

645
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:24.480
a farmhouse and we see a dad
downstairs drinking coffee, watching the weather,

646
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.840
and we see a little girl in
a bed played by a very young Alexa

647
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.079
Vega, and suddenly her mom comes
in saying that there's a storm coming and

648
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:34.800
they've got to get down to the
cellar. So they all make their way

649
00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:37.320
down stairs and go outside, and
that's when all hell is breaking loose by

650
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.159
this house. There's lightning, the
winds picking up. I mean, it's

651
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:44.119
it's it's intense. Yeah. And
I remember because when we were watching it

652
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:47.079
just now, I was mad because
the Blu ray automatically played in stereo.

653
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:50.440
Yeah, And as the tornado was
going, I was like, why is

654
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.679
my surrounds around not on? So
I had to go and flip through the

655
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:54.840
menus to get that. And then
once the surrounds I was on, there

656
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:59.239
was like, holy shit. So
we see the animals running. We see

657
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.239
the family run towards the storm cellar. They get inside, they light the

658
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:05.599
lantern and they lock the door,
and that's when we see and hear the

659
00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:07.480
twister just sweeping over. So Joe
is with her mom at this point,

660
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.559
and her dad goes up because he
sees the lock on the door is starting

661
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.079
to shake loose, so he's gonna
hold onto the storm door. Stupid decision.

662
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.400
Well, I mean it's not a
stupid decision if you love your family.

663
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.599
I mean I feel like if the
door would have got blown off,

664
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:24.760
they still would have been Damon would
let his family die. I'd never said

665
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.480
that that is, well, it's
what you imply. I'm not implying that.

666
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.360
Okay, we'll see when that tornado
comes, I ordered, Oh my

667
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:36.360
god, don't even joke. We've
had a lot of heavy rain this summer.

668
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:38.559
Well, I mean that's not a
tornado though. No, but we've

669
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:42.519
had We've had a I've been in
my basement twice already this summer, and

670
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.880
I don't want to go back.
You're a little bit scared, a bit.

671
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:50.239
No, it's not even it's not
even that. It's I'm fucking terrified

672
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.639
because my mom did that to me
at a young age. And I love

673
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:58.400
watching storms like I will be on
my short like we go it's a tornado.

674
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.519
Mom. I love you. If
you're listening this. I do not

675
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.039
mean to throw shade, but my
father actually had to like step in one

676
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.159
time because like he was getting mad
at how like afraid I was being because

677
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.159
she wasn't thinking about how she presented
what was going on to a young child.

678
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:15.199
Was she just panic? Like crazy
kinda? Yeah, what you mean

679
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:19.719
is you got your panic toward weather
from your mother. Well, and then

680
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:23.800
my mom, God lover, she
one time we were just sitting, we

681
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:27.639
were sitting in the living room because
we have my parents have a big facing

682
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:30.679
window towards this hill where we had
a lot of storms roll through, and

683
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:31.840
she just sat there with me for
like I think it was about an hour

684
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:36.599
and just showed me that storms weren't
scary. So my fear has dropped a

685
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:40.400
bit. But in the last five
years between me covering tornado damage for or

686
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:45.159
actually longer than that, probably eight
years, me covering tornado damage for the

687
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:47.400
radio station, TV station back in
the day, and just in general,

688
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:51.199
like you were saying the one tornado
we had recently, we had one at

689
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.079
Indian Lake recently. Well you didn't
have it, No Dayton did it.

690
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:57.960
But I'm saying it was close enough
to home. Oh No, I'm just

691
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:00.280
yeah, I'm just because I remember
the for that peer driving on seventy five

692
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.559
and going past that side where they
had to rebuild the whole facility that got

693
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.239
hit in that whole side right by
Dixie. It was it was really sad

694
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:12.159
to drive past her for a for
a while. Well, yeah, tornadoes

695
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:14.599
rip shit up, Yes, yes
they do. It means this movie shows

696
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:17.840
yeah, no shit, but no, I mean I I just think that

697
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.199
if he would have let go of
the door, things might have been okay.

698
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:24.519
But he doesn't. He holds onto
the door, and Joe then watches

699
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:29.920
as her father is sucked into the
tornado and taken away from her. As

700
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:31.679
the tornado passes over, her mom's
holding on to her. And one thing

701
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:35.599
I did mention to you this time
that I just caught on this viewing.

702
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:37.400
She does have a dog that's exactly
like Tote from the Wizard of Mindy.

703
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:42.920
She is what's called a Karen Terrier
because I had a Karen Terrier when I

704
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.519
was a little boy named Toto.
Of course you did. I Hey,

705
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:51.679
listen, when you get a dog
when you're five or four and you get

706
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.840
to name it, yeah Toto,
Yeah that's fair. And it was literally

707
00:46:54.840 --> 00:47:00.599
the breed of dog that Toto was. Do You Eat Movie will be right

708
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:15.920
back, Welcome back to Do You
Even Movie? So now it's present day.

709
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:20.960
We see a satellite and we meet
the people behind the National Severe Storm

710
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:23.760
Laboratory, the NSSL, and they
are talking about how there's a bunch of

711
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:27.599
breaks in the weather system right now
and that if these storms pick up in

712
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:30.280
a certain way, it's going to
be a massive outbreak of storms. And

713
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:32.760
one hit goes this is going to
be a long day. As we cut

714
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.239
to a long stretch of road and
we meet Bill and Melissa. Bill Paxton

715
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.239
and Melissa, who was played by
Jamie Gertz. They're newly engaged in heading

716
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.000
out to Joe's site with the rest
of her crew because they want to get

717
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.599
Bill's divorce papers from well, you
know, they gotta get them sign,

718
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:51.000
gotta get them signed so they can
get married. So they are driving onto

719
00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:53.800
the site and we meet Dusty played
by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is very

720
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:58.559
very excited to see Bill, and
Bill is like, you know, Dusty's

721
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:00.119
like, you know, are you
back? You know, the man the

722
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:01.960
extreme, the extremes back, which
we'll explain the extreme as we get later

723
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.519
into the podcast, but that's what
everybody calls him, and everybody's super excited

724
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:08.800
to see Bill Paxson's character. They're
welcome him back. And that's when Bill

725
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.719
decides to drop off Melissa with Dusty
while he goes to talk to Joe,

726
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.400
who is working on their Doppler satellite. And he goes up to her and

727
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.280
he's like, you know, hey, Joe, how's it going. She

728
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:21.480
stands up and is kind of surprised
to see him, but they immediately just

729
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:23.159
kind of just have that thing.
It's it's kind of cool the way that

730
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:27.960
she kind of just they both just
have that connection even if they're not into

731
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.039
each other, well, they have
a moment. They have been married for

732
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:36.079
however xt amount of years. Yeah, but no, So Joe is basically

733
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.880
fixing the Doppler and that's when he
asked her about the divorce papers and she's

734
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:40.800
like, well, I haven't looked
over him and signed him yet, and

735
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:44.679
so she goes to her truck and
gets them and that's when they have this

736
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:47.000
exchange that she missed a part of
the document to sign, so she takes

737
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:50.960
a second and reads it and he's
like, you've had these papers since December.

738
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:52.239
Why are they not signed? Yeah, Well, he's like, it

739
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.000
hasn't changed since I gave it to
you. Yeah, and she's like,

740
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.320
I didn't read him back then.
So that's when Joe also realizes that Bill

741
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:01.559
brought Melissa with him and she's with
Dusty, and she's like, you know

742
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.119
you left her with Dusty? Are
you crazy? So she goes over to

743
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:07.480
me Melissa, and that's when Melissa
get a call revealing that Melissa is also

744
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:12.480
a therapist. So Melissa's a therapist
and Bill and Joe are now hanging out

745
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:15.719
together, and that's when Joe also
tells Bill that the prototype for the weather

746
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:20.440
system that he had developed previously called
Dorothy, they've made it and it's ready.

747
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:27.119
Yeah, And it's basically a data
gathering system that would allow little sensors

748
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:30.800
to go inside of a tornado and
learn as much as possible about how the

749
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.599
winds blow, how the tornados assembled, what the pressure is like when it

750
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.760
reduces, when it gets stronger,
et cetera, et cetera. It would

751
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.079
be one of the biggest meteorological breakthroughs
of their time. So it's a very

752
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.719
big deal, very big deal.
And he pointed out that the circles instead

753
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:51.159
of the squares. Yeah, there's
circular instead of square. But the funniest

754
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.000
part about or not funniest part,
but the saddest part, or the cutest

755
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:57.440
part, or whatever you want to
call it, is when Paxton sees that

756
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:01.360
has become a reality. You see
him become desperate to be involved again.

757
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:06.400
Yeah, because he's a weatherman now, so he's kind of get yeah,

758
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:08.440
yes, and he's kind of gave
he's given up storm chasing. And even

759
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:13.400
Melissa really didn't have any idea what
he did before, because that's the line

760
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.000
will get to later. But Bill
has been out of the game for a

761
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:19.599
while. He's a weatherman. Everybody
knows it. So him seeing this,

762
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.280
you can kind of see that light
kind of come back to where he's just

763
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:24.159
like, oh shit, like I
could this could this could be big?

764
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:29.559
Sure, definitely. And that is
exactly what Joe was intending to because that's

765
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:31.199
why she reveals it to him,
is because this is one of the days

766
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:35.360
that they are predicting a lot of
tornadoes to hit. And that's when suddenly

767
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.039
Haines, one of Joe's team,
gets a call that they have an early

768
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.559
forming of a twister and it is
go time, so we see everybody spring

769
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:44.280
into action. We watch the crew
break down their base camp. Melissa and

770
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:47.000
Bill go to leave, but Bill
realizes that he forgot the divorce papers.

771
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:51.639
Whoopsies, So now he's back in
the saddle as him and Melissa get into

772
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:53.639
his truck and they are following Joe
and her crew out to the site.

773
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:59.639
And that is when Bill also catches
sights alongside of them as they are driving

774
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.559
past his old nemesis, Jonas,
who is played by carry Always. Of

775
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:07.360
course, well because carry All is
everyone's old nemesis. Yes, if I

776
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.079
saw him, I would immediately hate
him for no reason. I'd just be

777
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:12.960
like that son of a bitch,
Like what do you know about carry Elwiston.

778
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.800
I'd be like, actually nothing,
He just movies trained me to be

779
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:19.000
his enemy. But he has a
son of accident in this one, so

780
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.199
maybe he'll be nicer I which I
think, I think sincerely. They were

781
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:23.960
like, look, we can't have
we can't have everybody hate the Brits every

782
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.360
time, so we're gonna have you
not be British this one time. And

783
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.280
he was like, oh okay,
So he comments that Jonas used to be

784
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:35.960
one of his partners back in the
day at their schooling. But Jonas got

785
00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:37.679
h you know, he got win
at one time, and he got like

786
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.119
sponsorship and whatnot, so he kind
of gonna let the money go to his

787
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:43.480
head. And now he has an
entire elite team with him too well,

788
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:47.760
and his team is like organized.
They have consistent vehicles, consistent equipment.

789
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:52.280
Bill's Team, Joe Team, Joe's
Team whatever. Yeah. Yeah, uh

790
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:59.199
they are ragtag. Yeah, I
mean like the definition of I mean,

791
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:01.960
one of there is a short school
bus YEP, Dusty. Dusty has the

792
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:06.360
short school bus that's always playing music
videos outside of the school bus too,

793
00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:07.480
because he's got like two speakers about
it on the front. Yeah, he

794
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:13.679
blares music out of the vehicle,
which just seems not constructive. We've got

795
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:15.360
Alan Ruck and his guy that are
the map people, which one of the

796
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:19.599
things that really dates this movie is
having the map truck instead of the GPS

797
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.679
truck. Oh yeah, they have
maps all over so they can they can

798
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:25.559
plot things out. And I mean, like Enriquet mentioned earlier, it's just

799
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:30.079
a it's just a grouping of character
actors, like some of the best of

800
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:34.760
the Nightties, and they're all odd
balls their way, so they are riding

801
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.719
next to Jonas, and that's when
Bill realizes that he's lost his train of

802
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.320
thought. And he's also kind of
gone off the road because there's a car

803
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:42.920
trying to pass him, so he
runs over some pipes in the grass takes

804
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:45.400
out his truck tire, so he
has to pull off and get that fixed.

805
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.199
So down the road they've all stopped. He's changing the tire, and

806
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:52.079
that's when Jonas now has an entourage
around him of reporters and everything, and

807
00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:55.400
he reveals that he also has a
system, much like Dorothy, and this

808
00:52:55.639 --> 00:53:00.519
pisses Bill a yeah, and his
argument when he says you ripped off as

809
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:04.400
he's like, it was a concept, the concept that I executed on my

810
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:08.199
own when yours was just a concept, which is an argument to be made

811
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:12.920
unrealized ideas what he said, Oh
yeah, unrealized idea. That was the

812
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:15.760
term he used. Because Bill confronts
him, he goes up and punches him,

813
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:19.119
and they try to punch him.
He grabs him and pushes him,

814
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.159
which is I mean, we like
because I remember because when I was watching

815
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:24.559
it, I thought he was gonna
give him a haymaker and and I was

816
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:27.960
thinking, like, boy, that's
pretty extreme. And then he didn't and

817
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:30.079
just like shoves him around and stuff. I joked that it was like a

818
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:35.159
school bully, like he just grabbed
me, was like freaking nerd. So

819
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:38.360
he grabs Jonas, and Jonas of
course denies it, calls an unrealist idea,

820
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:40.920
and that's when Joe pulls him aside
and she's like, you know,

821
00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:45.239
Paul, I'm sorry for not telling
you. And Bill says, I'll give

822
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.440
you one day. One day,
whether Dorothy flies or not, I'm out

823
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:51.679
of here. So he's joining them. The gang is back together for one

824
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:53.800
day to see if they can get
Dorothy to fly. Yes, and uh,

825
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:58.920
of course, who is not involved
in this decision his moll As soon

826
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:04.480
to be wife, hopefully to her
and maybe to him. And now all

827
00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:09.159
of a sudden they're all hanging out
of this diner. But now Bill starts

828
00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:14.079
to notice his instinctual thing, because
he mentions at one point carry Elle was

829
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:16.360
the big difference is Carrie doesn't have
instinct doesn't have instincts. He has money

830
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:22.199
and no instinct. So Bill's outside
looking at the sky. Fa picks up

831
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:24.800
the dirt and drops it to see
how the wind's blowing. And he figures

832
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:29.320
out where it's going to be.
They all get in their cars, and

833
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:34.920
of course he's in the car with
Joe and his woman friend is stuck by

834
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:38.760
herself in their pickup truck, and
they start booking it but to go catch

835
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.320
that next tornady. So that's when
also Melissa realizes back of the diner one

836
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:46.280
thing, she's talking with Joe,
and you know, she's just talking about

837
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.920
how Bill is just like a force
of nature, He's got his instinct and

838
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:52.960
she realizes that she still loves him, and she's like, you know,

839
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:54.119
I don't have a problem with it. I just hope it doesn't turn into

840
00:54:54.119 --> 00:55:00.519
anything else. So outside, Bill
notices the sky going green. Troops head

841
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:01.639
back out to the storm as it
begins to form, and Joe and Bill

842
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:06.599
are together as they're driving the truck. Joe tries to question Bill about Melissa

843
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:08.360
basically, and and Bill is not
giving any input. He's like, no,

844
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:09.760
no, we're not talking about that, Like, you know, I

845
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:12.880
don't want to fight. I don't
want to fight. I don't want to

846
00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.519
fight. Yeah, and it,
yeah, so ends she ends up finding

847
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:19.519
out that she's a therapist and that's
about it, and reproductive therapist. Yeah,

848
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.719
yeah, so and and but now
I mean they're they're within a very

849
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:25.480
short amount of time, they are
finding the tornado. Yeah, it is

850
00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:30.280
looking rough. And of course the
truck that that Joe and Bill are in

851
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:37.280
has the the data thing Dorothy,
and they have to get damn close to

852
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:40.639
eject those sensor balls in the tornado. One of my favorite things is they're

853
00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:44.639
fighting on the radio, because the
radio is going out to all of Joe's

854
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:45.480
gang, so they're hearing them fight
and he's like, hey, are you

855
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.880
guys. A Belt's like, are
you guys done? And they're like,

856
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:50.480
yeah, what's going on? They're
like, I don't know if you guys

857
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:52.400
want to chase some tornadoes, because
they've spotted the tornado already, even know,

858
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:54.679
if you guys want to chase some
tornadoes or whatever. Yeah, So

859
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:58.840
they go to intercept it, and
that's when Jonas is also on the trail

860
00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:01.280
and he notices the tire marks as
he's following them, and the guy's like,

861
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:04.639
hey, they turn left, and
he's like do it. So now

862
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:07.599
Jonas is completely ripping off their trail
as well. Well. And they mentioned

863
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:09.199
that that's what he does. That's
what he does. He does whatever they

864
00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:13.119
do so we see his guys turn
and we see the tornado is now on

865
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:15.920
the ground. As Joe advises Bill
to try and get ahead of it,

866
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.199
so he crosses into a field,
getting stuck in an empty creek bank,

867
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:22.119
and that's when they have to abandon
ship because this tornado's coming right in on

868
00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:23.440
them. So they try to park
it as close to this bridge as they

869
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:28.599
can get overpass overpass, and so
they go under it to take shelter.

870
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:31.880
The tornado comes through starts ripping boards
off of the off of the overpass,

871
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:36.559
and that's when we also see the
truck get slowly pulled back. We start

872
00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:37.840
to see it get pulled back because
Joe's racing out. She wants to see

873
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:39.119
it, and Bill's like no,
no, no, like what are you

874
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:43.000
doing? Get back here. This
is the beginning of us realizing Joe's got

875
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:45.199
kind of a death wish. Yes, yes she does. So she's like,

876
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:46.079
I want to see it, So
he pulls her back. So they're

877
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:51.000
watching as the tornado goes through,
and uh tornado passes, Joe goes,

878
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:53.880
where's my truck? And as Melissa's
driving down the road, Joe's truck just

879
00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:59.800
plummets and drops on its back right
in front just barely misses, just barely,

880
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.559
which, uh, the character Philip
Seymour Hoffmann plays is very amused.

881
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.639
But he's like, wow, she
said like she just missed it. She

882
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:10.920
just missed it. So now they're
they're they're trying to gather up Dorothy,

883
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.800
but the truck is just could put
to put. And there's a great adult

884
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:19.760
joke where where Joe's like, is
that truck insured? And he's like,

885
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:25.199
only liability liability, So, which
were the uninitiated. When you have liability

886
00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:29.400
only insurance, it means that you
only cover damage you do to other people's

887
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:34.159
property. Yeah, but not insured
your actual personal vehicle, which is hilarious

888
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:37.159
because he's like, oh no,
no, and boom there Dorothy's on the

889
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:40.760
back of his truck. And now
that's the truck that's leading the pack.

890
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:45.639
And this is also the follow up
to Melissa freaking out because I mean,

891
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:47.239
of course she had the car drop. She almost died, she almost died,

892
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:50.159
and you know, Bill is like, you know, are you okay?

893
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:51.559
She's like, no, I'm not
okays. She It's like when I

894
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:53.880
when I heard you chase tornadoes,
I thought it was just a metaphor that

895
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:58.559
was such a great lie. I
thought it was a metaphor. So the

896
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:01.360
crew is all back together now on
the road and they are now in Bill's

897
00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:04.559
truck as they are driving, the
three of them, and we see another

898
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:07.440
tornado on the ground and Jonas' team
are moving in as suddenly Joe and Bill

899
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:10.639
drive right past them, and Bill
is taking notices of the clouds. He

900
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:14.639
notices that it's an up drap and
he calls that it's gonna shift, and

901
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:15.320
Joe is like, are you sure, and he's like, oh, I'm

902
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:19.760
sure, and it's a sidewinder.
It totally shifts. So they go off.

903
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.119
The crew back up and hit a
side road and they're following it,

904
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:24.679
and of course Jonas watches as the
tornado switches its heading. He gets pissed

905
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:28.000
because he looks on his binoculars and
he sees they're on the other side of

906
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.800
the road, right in its path. Yeah. Yeah, they're just better

907
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:34.519
at this. So they really are, because they're a ragpag group. So

908
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:37.199
the car starts to take on some
rain as they start to see what they

909
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:39.360
think is an F two or an
F three, and that's when Rabbit calls

910
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:42.599
it in F three and tells them
they can intercept it now, as it's

911
00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:45.320
not going to hang on long.
So they move down the road and Joe

912
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:47.079
tells Bill that they're in the core
and they have to watch out as we

913
00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:50.920
see the tornado. We have one
on one side of a river and one

914
00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:52.519
on another side. One on the
other side splits into two, so now

915
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.239
there's three tornadoes, but one,
as they call a sister, which is

916
00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:58.639
on the left side of the road, right right right. So they are

917
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.000
then whisked around the road couple of
times by these tornadoes they blow past,

918
00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:05.559
and then that is it for that
and they they gig out of the truck

919
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:09.760
and they're celebrating once again. And
that's when they decide that they are close

920
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:15.800
to Watika, because Joe is attending
to retrut or to Bill's truck and Dusty

921
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:16.960
comes over. He's like, I
couldn't help. We're close to Wakita,

922
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:20.239
you know, is you know?
Is there any chance we could drop by

923
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:21.960
megs. She's like, no,
we're not invading my aunt, and he's

924
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:23.480
like, well, we need food. So then the crew is all like

925
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:28.599
food, food, It's it's a
cute it's a cute moment. So they

926
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:31.639
go to her aunt's house, Uh, smash cut because they always we are

927
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:36.360
absolutely not going smash cut to Waquita. Yeah, and they're there, and

928
00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:39.199
they're and she's feeding them, you
know, home cooked meals and letting them

929
00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:44.880
grab showers and and they're just hanging
out having a good time. And this

930
00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:49.119
is a really great moment where everybody
kind of shares their feelings a little bit.

931
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:52.039
Yeah, gets to know each other. Uh. The ant has that

932
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:53.719
great moment with Joe where she talks
to her about like, you know,

933
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:58.679
uh, well, uh, I'm
so sorry he didn't just stay alone in

934
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:00.000
misery forever. Yeah, I know. Oh is it so much to ask?

935
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:05.519
That's a great moment. Yeah,
but we we so everybody's talking there.

936
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:07.960
Then they realize, like we gotta
get ready for whatever is gonna come

937
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:10.599
next. But we also find out
why Bill is called the extreme, which

938
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:14.519
is my favorite moment. Oh yeah, yeah, please, because Melissa is

939
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:15.719
asking, you know, why do
you guys keep calling Bill the extreme?

940
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:19.320
And Dusty's like, because he is
the extreme. And that's when they tell

941
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:22.320
this story apparently where Joe was setting
up a spot to get some information on

942
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.639
this tornado right in its path,
and apparently Bill pulls up in a car

943
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:30.920
half drunk or drunk, and also
naked or half naked. Yeah. Yeah,

944
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:32.880
They're difference is based in the steps
out of the car with a whiskey

945
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:36.679
bottle, says have a drink and
chucks it in the tornado, and they

946
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:40.480
quote that the bottle never hits the
ground. The tornado took it. And

947
01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:45.199
that's when Bill says, honey,
there was The basic story is that there

948
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:46.960
was a Bill and an evil Bill
and and I killed him. There was

949
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:51.159
an evil Bill, and I killed
it. They also noticed that Jonas is

950
01:00:51.199 --> 01:00:53.199
on TV and he's, you know, slinging some shit that they're not having,

951
01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:55.199
so they are boo. But yeah, this is about the time that

952
01:00:55.239 --> 01:00:59.719
they realize they have. Oh we
also missed the big one. They talk

953
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:05.880
about the uh Fujita scale, which
is the F five is the most powerful

954
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:07.360
tornado known to may Yeah, and
Melissa's like, has anybody ever seen an

955
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:09.840
F five? And Preacher, which
is one of the Joe's crew, he's

956
01:01:09.880 --> 01:01:13.519
like, you know, oh,
the finger of God and Bill goes one

957
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:15.840
of us has and that's when they
basically hint that that's what killed Joe's father.

958
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:17.519
Yeah, and that's when we saw
at the beginning of the film that

959
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:23.360
insane tornado that was an F five
Do You Even? Movie? Will be

960
01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:38.440
right back, Welcome back to do
You Even? Movie? So they get

961
01:01:38.440 --> 01:01:43.119
another call that there are more tornadoes
coming, so they have an F three

962
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:45.000
gumming and Dusty calls for the game
to get back on. Melissa then rides

963
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:47.440
with Dusty this time as Joe and
Bill get back in her truck, and

964
01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:51.440
we see them driving out again and
they're jamming out. All of them are

965
01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:53.239
singing, all of them are playing
there. Yeah, they're happy because their

966
01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:57.880
tom thumbs are full. Yep.
And that is when Rabbit's advice. They

967
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:00.840
decided to take a shortcut through a
cornfield where they are going to hit the

968
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:04.079
highway. They're going through the scornfield, they're not seeing anything, and suddenly

969
01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:07.360
they come out and almost hit Jonas's
crew. Yeah, the highway comes up

970
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:09.440
real freaking quick. Yeah, and
they almost smash into him, and Jonas

971
01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:10.920
is like, you know, what
the hell are you doing Joe, and

972
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:14.519
Joe's like, oh, I didn't
know you cared. Because the one thing

973
01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:16.280
we forgot to mention is when the
truck comes down in front of Melissa and

974
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:20.519
Joe's truck's totaled Jonas and his crew
drive by and they don't stop. Yeah,

975
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:22.280
they don't help them at all,
which I mean, which is just

976
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:27.199
not surprising because they're the de facto
villains other than the tornado basically. So

977
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.880
Bill is making a call from looking
at the sky that Joe needs to turn

978
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:32.360
left, and that's when they get
to notice that a tornado is on the

979
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:36.159
ground and on the road that they
are on. But they can't get a

980
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:37.400
visual you know. They're like,
you know, Rabbit, where's his visual

981
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:38.840
app? We don't have anything.
He's like, no, no, it's

982
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:43.079
on thirty six. We're you know, thirty five miles per hour, right,

983
01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:45.000
did you guys get over this hill, you're probably gonna see it.

984
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:47.679
Suddenly they see it and they decide
to try and put Dorothy into action.

985
01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:51.400
So Bill gets out in the back. As they are driving down this road,

986
01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:53.679
Hale is going wind's blowing, and
he's trying to get Dorothy up and

987
01:02:53.719 --> 01:02:58.239
running. Yeah, from the back
of the truck while she's going fast.

988
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:01.320
Joe's going faster and faster and faster
and faster, and everybody's just trying to

989
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:07.239
stay on the road. That Hale
is so bad and the tornado just looks

990
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:09.559
mean, look as hell. That
is one thing about the tornadoes in this

991
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:15.199
movie is when it says depictions of
very bad weather, these are freaking scary

992
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:20.119
storms, yes, all of them. So Dorothy is now prepped and the

993
01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:22.639
gang hangs back, letting them know
that they're you know, they're gonna go

994
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:23.679
to work to try to film as
best they can. So Bill and Joe

995
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:27.639
get back on the road and they
stop while the tornado rages, having ahead

996
01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:30.800
of them, but it starts moving
and taking out power lines, which end

997
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.159
up falling onto the truck, knocking
Dorothy out of the truck and spilling all

998
01:03:34.159 --> 01:03:37.360
the centers all over the road.
Yeah. And at that point it becomes

999
01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:39.320
clear they're not gonna be able to
do it this time. No. And

1000
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:44.400
and also I love the moment that
they fail to deploy Dorothy. Yeah,

1001
01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:47.039
multiple times. The moment they fail
to they're like, oh shit, yeah,

1002
01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:51.400
now let's not die. Yeah.
Well, and also as the so

1003
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:53.559
as Dorothy is, as Dorothy is
completely fucked out, the storm just suddenly

1004
01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:57.519
vanishes, like it goes quiet,
and Preacher's like, oh man, it's

1005
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.480
the cone of silence. And they
lose it on the rain. They don't

1006
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:02.400
have any track of it, and
that's when they comment that the storm is

1007
01:04:02.440 --> 01:04:05.800
back building, and sure enough,
storm's back way fierce again, and Joe

1008
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:09.119
doesn't want to give up, so
Bill is trying to drag her, pull

1009
01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:11.360
her away from the truck. They
get in the truck and they're backing up

1010
01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:14.400
and she actually gets out to start
picking up the sensors, and that's when

1011
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:16.079
you know, he has to tell
her, you know, what is this

1012
01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:17.960
about? You know, what,
what are you trying to do? And

1013
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:19.840
she's like, you know, well, you've never seen a tornado miss that

1014
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:23.400
house, in that house and go
right for your house. And that's when

1015
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.199
he realizes she still has a lot
of hold back about the death of her

1016
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:28.719
father. Yeah, I I,
I don't know why he would think that,

1017
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:31.079
just because he met a woman who
dedicated her life to chasing tornadoes and

1018
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:34.000
her father was killed by a tornado. Yeah yeah, Why would you think

1019
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:38.239
there's any trauma there? Why would
you think there's anything odd going on there?

1020
01:04:38.679 --> 01:04:43.519
Geez, crazy jeepers, creepers.
So that's when silly Billy, So

1021
01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:46.480
silly Billy actually comments, you know, you have to live, you have

1022
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:48.320
to you have to see what's in
front of you right now. You can't

1023
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:50.559
keep living in the past. And
she's like, what do you mean,

1024
01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:54.679
and he's like, well, I'm
here, not knowing that all of this

1025
01:04:54.719 --> 01:04:57.679
is going out to the radio and
all of the crew are hearing is well

1026
01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:02.119
and for the record, upon this
viewing, while he does say I'm here,

1027
01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:09.519
he doesn't say I want to stay
married to you. Yeah, but

1028
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:13.199
he is literally there for her,
yeah, and he's comforting her. This

1029
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:15.119
is a really sweet scene. Yeah, because because at first you think it's

1030
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:17.519
that it's that big moment, you
know, like I'm still love with you,

1031
01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:20.960
But then in the next thing he's
with his lady friend. It's more

1032
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:25.599
that he bared his soul about it, and you really start to understand why

1033
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:30.760
their marriage wasn't working. She's a
horrible communicator. She just cannot come in

1034
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:34.039
and you want to go even further. Think about that, Think about where

1035
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:38.760
where did he go for love?
After a woman who would never talk about

1036
01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:43.360
her feelings to a therapist. Therapist
who always talks about feelings. Yeah and

1037
01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:46.599
so, and you feel for her
because you know she's hurt all this and

1038
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:51.280
now she's like, I think he
has feelings for her too, But it's

1039
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:57.920
not like their relationship is particularly healthy
or or even productive. The fact that

1040
01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:03.519
she's willing to die while someone she
it's purported that she loves and respects and

1041
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:09.000
admires is standing there going don't die
for me, and she's like, don't

1042
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:12.880
care. Yeah, it's it's a
brutal moment, but it's a wonderful moment.

1043
01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:16.519
But we're heading into an even more
wonderful moment because the next scene,

1044
01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:20.880
I believe is when we go to
the drive our careator, Yes, as

1045
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:25.840
they arrive at a drive in movie
theater which is showing the shining on a

1046
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:30.559
double feature Psycha with Alfred Hitchcock Psycha
A Night of Horrors as the marketing Night

1047
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:32.719
of Horrors. And by this point, yeah, like I said, Melissa

1048
01:06:32.719 --> 01:06:36.199
has now heard you know him talking
to Joe, so she's a little a

1049
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:39.719
little suss with this, which I
do want to point out. I love

1050
01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:43.320
Melissa's character in this movie. She's
really good and she's super likable. And

1051
01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:46.280
the funny thing is I remember as
a kid not liking her same because I

1052
01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:51.480
was so on board with Joe and
Bill Train because not all well then they

1053
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:57.199
did like the little movie things too, like they had like Bill has dark

1054
01:06:57.239 --> 01:07:00.400
hair and Joe has blonde hair,
and and that's a big thing in a

1055
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.639
lot of films, is like people
want people with different colored hair to like

1056
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:06.920
each other. I know it's weird, but like, if you don't believe

1057
01:07:06.960 --> 01:07:14.360
me, motherfuckers, watch watch a
Lifetime movie, Watch like a Christmas romance

1058
01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:18.280
movie. Watch your income. Not
always, but often somebody's got to be

1059
01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:21.119
blonde and somebody's got to be brunette. Yeah, and usually the person that

1060
01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:25.159
they should leave is the same hair
color as them. It's not always the

1061
01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:29.039
case, but I think it's mostly
for diversity and for the eyes. Yeah.

1062
01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:31.559
So you know, yeah, there's
that moment where it's like subconsciously you're

1063
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:34.159
like, no, he can't be
with the other brunette. He needs to

1064
01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:39.480
be with Helen Hunt. We love
Helen Hunt. Yeah, and so I

1065
01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:43.559
feel I do, though I feel
bad for her. But but you know

1066
01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:45.400
what, no matter how bad I
feel for that character, the fact that

1067
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:47.960
she said when you said you used
to chase tornadoes, I thought it was

1068
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:50.199
a metaphor as one of the greatest
lines in the whole film. Well,

1069
01:07:50.199 --> 01:07:53.719
and she's a great addition too,
Like I told you too, because it's

1070
01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:57.440
like, this is a way for
you to explain the weather patterns and all

1071
01:07:57.480 --> 01:08:00.800
the information and stuff the movie to
a character that would not know, but

1072
01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:03.920
also to your audience. One of
the most common elements is to have a

1073
01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:08.480
fish out of water. Yeah,
so that the audience can have it explained

1074
01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:13.639
to them. Yeah, it's like
having Spock on Star Trek or having data

1075
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:19.439
on Star Treking next generation. Having
an outsider allows you to explain and expand

1076
01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:25.000
on the human experience because you're talking
to somebody as zero. It's very similar

1077
01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:28.680
to like a lot of times,
if this is something you could really check

1078
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:31.680
out, watch a movie about military
people, they'll usually be like a woman

1079
01:08:32.359 --> 01:08:36.479
character, like a girlfriend or whatever, Yeah, who just is not a

1080
01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:40.920
part of everything, but has been
dragged into it because it's like, well,

1081
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:44.399
I love my husband, I have
to be whatever. And then she's

1082
01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:48.920
the one who goes like, so
what is uava? Oh that's a drone

1083
01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:54.319
aircraft bubblah bah, because no soldier
would ask those questions. You need a

1084
01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:58.760
non soldier to get that stuff across
for the audience because the audience is not

1085
01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:01.439
going to understand all the military jargon. Yeah, very similar concept. Yeah.

1086
01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:04.239
So later that evening, the gangs
that are drive in showing the shining.

1087
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:08.159
They're taking a breather, they're gathering
the information, and we see Melissa

1088
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:12.000
as in a motel room as the
TV reports more tornadoes on the rise.

1089
01:09:12.239 --> 01:09:15.119
Joe's getting a coffee for the team, and she also steals a pen from

1090
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.199
the concession stand and starts to sign
the divorce papers. Yeah, yep.

1091
01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:23.000
And that's the other reason I didn't
think that that scene was about them rekindling.

1092
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:26.399
Yeah, because it's almost like,
after everything that happened, she's like,

1093
01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:30.800
Okay, I owe to leave.
Yeah, I owe it to him

1094
01:09:30.840 --> 01:09:34.680
to let him leave, which is
very sad but also very mature. Yeah,

1095
01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:38.279
it absolutely is. So Bill comes
up and he comments on how he

1096
01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:42.159
thinks do Dorothy's sensors might be too
light, or maybe the whole rig itself

1097
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:45.039
is too light. Both Melissa and
bil Tho are watching TV as this happens,

1098
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:47.720
and they start to notice that the
TV's getting static as the wind picks

1099
01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:51.359
up, and outside, the wind
is picking up and some thunders coming into

1100
01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:56.680
and Dusty comes out screaming that it's
coming. It's heading right for them,

1101
01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:00.960
as Bill states, it's already here. And this is an awesome sequence too,

1102
01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:04.399
because as the lightning strikes. You
start to see that there's a cyclone

1103
01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:08.840
beginning, often very close. Yeah, in the distance. Because the one

1104
01:10:08.840 --> 01:10:11.359
thing too with this drive and scene
is we actually you can see clips of

1105
01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:14.960
the Shining specifically. It opens with
Danny coming down the hallway as the two

1106
01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:17.960
twins pop up with the hello Danny. Yeah, so you start to understand

1107
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:20.760
how much time has passed if you're
familiar with the Shining. Yes, and

1108
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:26.159
the tornado shows up right as here's
giants sties going down, So we see

1109
01:10:26.159 --> 01:10:29.199
a giant tornado moving in behind them. It starts to take out the screen

1110
01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:30.600
as Bill and the rest of the
gang try to get the safety as best

1111
01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:33.199
as they can, and they start
running towards a garage. And in the

1112
01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:36.960
garage we watch as the roof is
just ripped off. Debris starts to fly

1113
01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:41.760
all around. We see flying hubcap
comes through that actually cuts Preacher's forehead.

1114
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:45.399
A car is sent through the garage. The marquee of the of the drive

1115
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:51.000
in is sent through the garages.
They're literally in the hole in the in

1116
01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:56.479
the mechanic bed, Yeah, where
mechanics go down underneath cars. Yeah,

1117
01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:59.720
that's all they have to protect themselves. So there's nothing on top to protect

1118
01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:01.800
them, so they're covering their faces
from the glass and the shards and everything.

1119
01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:05.359
And I have to say that is
one of the scariest sequences of the

1120
01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:09.359
whole film entirely, and the moment
it ended, I remember I turned to

1121
01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:13.159
you and went, who the hell
would want to keep chasing tornadoes? After

1122
01:11:13.239 --> 01:11:18.359
that happened that night? Well,
but unfortunately, as they get out of

1123
01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:24.600
there, they realize that this adorable
little town is decimated. Yes, there

1124
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:28.399
are fires everywhere, homes destroyed,
families standing in the street not knowing what

1125
01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:32.239
to do. And worse yet,
her aunt was not immune to this disaster,

1126
01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:38.359
as we initially see her with she
has all these lawn decorations which I

1127
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:41.520
think she made, yeah, wind
chimes and stuff, and they're spitting like

1128
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:45.279
crazy. So now her house has
been really messed up and they go to

1129
01:11:45.359 --> 01:11:49.039
check on her. They find her. She's fallen through to the basement of

1130
01:11:49.119 --> 01:11:53.680
her house. So she wasn't in
her baseball and the house is fucking split.

1131
01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:56.640
Yeah, yeah, the house is
split and it's falling apart, But

1132
01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:00.640
she was not in the basement.
She fell to the basement and her dog

1133
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:02.840
is down there barking they've got to
get her out. As they're trying to

1134
01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:05.159
get her out, flotsam and jetsam
is trying to fall on her. A

1135
01:12:05.199 --> 01:12:09.439
TV set almost crushes her. They
get her out, and thank goodness,

1136
01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:13.319
she's a little hurt, but not
severely. Her wrist is broken. She

1137
01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:15.800
has a few cuts and scrapes and
bruises. And as they get her into

1138
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:21.920
an ambulance, they find out that
they're reporting off in the distance. They're

1139
01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:29.119
predicting an F five about thirty five
miles south or north south. And at

1140
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:31.760
that moment, though, I'd be
really lost it because she said like,

1141
01:12:31.800 --> 01:12:34.520
go, you have to help these
people. And I was like, does

1142
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:40.680
she think that her niece stops?
Hey, hey, hey, hey back

1143
01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:45.319
up there, stop that, you
stop that. But I know she's referring

1144
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:48.439
to that they are like trying to
better predict tornadoes and stuff like that.

1145
01:12:48.479 --> 01:12:50.520
But it was just funny the way
she says, like, you know,

1146
01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:54.399
go so this doesn't happen again.
It's like, well, she's not gonna

1147
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:57.640
just fly, she's not gonna yeah, she's not gonna build a wall to

1148
01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:00.239
stop the tornado. Yeah, whatever, And that's when you also get you

1149
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:03.560
also get a sense of how much
guilt that Joe has fun at this point.

1150
01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:09.159
Yeah no he he is. She
sorry. She feels just terrible about

1151
01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:12.880
that, and she doesn't away blame
herself for where the tornadoes go, which

1152
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:16.119
is insane, but also grief is
insane. She apologizes for not being there,

1153
01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:18.720
She apologizes for not being there soon
enough, and Meg and Aunt Meg

1154
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:21.159
is just like, you know,
you couldn't do anything. Yeah, you

1155
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:25.079
pulled me out the house. The
house collapses as they pull her out.

1156
01:13:25.439 --> 01:13:28.319
She was like, I heard the
sirens and it was already hot here.

1157
01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:31.319
Yeah. Yeah. So so they
leave her in the ambulance to be taken

1158
01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:34.920
care of and they get back on
the goddamn road. One one interjection.

1159
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:39.720
So at the end of the drive
in sequence, Melissa comes up to Bill

1160
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:42.159
because she's like, you know,
hey, I'm going back and was like,

1161
01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:44.039
oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
go go wait the motel, like

1162
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:45.640
it's safe, I'll be there in
the morning. She's like, I'm not

1163
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:47.720
gonna be there, and that's when
she basically says, you know, I

1164
01:13:47.720 --> 01:13:51.279
I'm not mad, like I can
see that you still love her and you

1165
01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:55.119
know we would have never worked out
anyway. I'm not mad like it,

1166
01:13:55.119 --> 01:13:57.279
and I don't know how to feel
about that, but it's okay. I

1167
01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.720
love the iriage where he's like,
uh, She's like, don't worry,

1168
01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:01.960
I know the way home. Yeah
yeah, which I really liked that moment.

1169
01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:05.039
Yeah no, And it is a
great moment, a sad moment,

1170
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:08.199
but a great moment well. And
especially when he's like, you know,

1171
01:14:08.239 --> 01:14:09.920
I never want any of this to
happen. She's like, oh, Billy,

1172
01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:12.960
I know that, like you she
That's again like with this character,

1173
01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:15.079
the way that they the way that
they take her out of the movie,

1174
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:18.119
I mean, given they didn't take
her out. Yeah. Honestly, rewatching

1175
01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:20.399
it after having seen it, having
not seen it for a while, part

1176
01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:24.600
of me was like, does she
I've I've got some trivia at the end

1177
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.640
that I that I'm curious, if
you know, because there's something that I'm

1178
01:14:27.720 --> 01:14:30.960
really curious about with this movie in
regards to how it was originally concepted.

1179
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:32.720
Well, well, before we get
to that, we got to get to

1180
01:14:32.760 --> 01:14:41.399
the F five, So let's go
so on. So they reported that a

1181
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:45.039
F four is what hit Wakeita,
but the upcoming might be and probably is,

1182
01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:47.239
an F five. So joy Joe
joins Megan the ambulance, who tells

1183
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:49.439
her. You know you've broken ris
bubble the head. We've already settled that.

1184
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:53.680
So that's when you know, the
ambulance takes off and Joe is looking

1185
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:57.239
at these wind chimes that are in
Meg's yard, and that's when she realizes,

1186
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:00.960
I know how I can make Dorothy
fly, which is and I love

1187
01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:04.880
this movie. Yes, the weakest
story point it is, so they they

1188
01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:11.159
they come up with this idea to
cut pepsi cans, pepsi pepsi the choice

1189
01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:15.239
of a new generation very clearly product
placement, yes, even though Jonas is

1190
01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:17.399
a hack for selling out. Yeah, well that's pretty funny. I always

1191
01:15:17.399 --> 01:15:21.560
wanted to imagine they're all eating doritos, But so they're cutting up pepsi cans

1192
01:15:21.560 --> 01:15:26.319
and they and for some reason,
in all of the time that they've all

1193
01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:30.119
been scientists, none of them once
thought of the concept of wind resistance and

1194
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:34.039
aerodynamics. So what they're doing is
they're cutting up pepsi cans and making these

1195
01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:39.880
little spiral wind things to catch the
wind. And one touch though that I

1196
01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:42.840
really loved as they were doing it, because they're like driving in cars doing

1197
01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:45.199
it is I was like, that's
not safe. And then I noticed their

1198
01:15:45.199 --> 01:15:49.079
fingers are bloody, bloody with band
aids all over, which have you if

1199
01:15:49.079 --> 01:15:53.079
you've ever cut up a soda can, they're very, very sharp. So

1200
01:15:53.239 --> 01:15:55.760
but I also love that they're like, Okay, new plan, we throw

1201
01:15:55.800 --> 01:16:01.279
shrapnel into the tornado. But even
as a kid, I remember going,

1202
01:16:01.640 --> 01:16:09.279
why didn't they think about wind when
they designed it? But but it is

1203
01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:13.159
a big story point. So now
they are they're fully rejuvenated. They know

1204
01:16:13.239 --> 01:16:15.760
that Dorothy is going to work,
but they've got to get to this F

1205
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:18.640
five. They've got two Dorothy's this
time too. They have two chances at

1206
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:21.760
this all together. So they've got
their Dorothy. Both their Dorothys are loaded

1207
01:16:21.760 --> 01:16:26.960
into Bill's truck and that's when they
noticed that in front of them something is

1208
01:16:27.000 --> 01:16:30.039
in the tornado. So they've driven
to a tornado. They've dropped off one

1209
01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:32.199
Dorothy. But they're like, something's
in a is in the tornado. And

1210
01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:35.680
before this, yeah, when when
something has been in a tornado, it's

1211
01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:40.479
like a tree branch, it's it's
a or a tree or a tree,

1212
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:45.439
it's you know, flotsam and jetsam. But now we're seeing semi trucks and

1213
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:51.399
whole fucking houses. Yes, because
as we see a oil or a gas

1214
01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:56.720
tanker is what is in the tornado? Yes, it is not only pushed

1215
01:16:56.720 --> 01:16:59.439
out of the tornado in front of
them, which bumps them off this log

1216
01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:00.680
that they get to because the one
thing I forgot to mention is right as

1217
01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:03.920
they lay down Dorothy, this thing
starts throwing tree limbs at them, which

1218
01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:08.439
one of them wedges Dorothy out and
then also gets under their truck. Yeah,

1219
01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:12.439
and they're stuck stuck, so the
tanker actually knocks them loose, so

1220
01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:15.119
they start driving. Well, then
the tornado picks the tanker back up and

1221
01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:18.840
drops it right in front of them, and it explodes into a giant ball

1222
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:21.640
of fire. Giant ball of fire. And one of my favorite parts is

1223
01:17:21.640 --> 01:17:25.119
when they contact them on the radio, go, did you guys see that?

1224
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:27.399
Yeah, It's like, no,
they missed it because they have to

1225
01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.720
drive through it. Off He's like, no, they missed the giant fireball.

1226
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:33.159
Yeah, So they drive through it
and that's when Dusty radios, you

1227
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:35.520
know, they Okay, they see
the explosion. Bill and Joe then realize

1228
01:17:35.560 --> 01:17:39.079
that they have one Dorothy left.
And this is also at the time they

1229
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:41.520
hear Jonas is on the radio and
he is right at the base of the

1230
01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:44.560
tornado, which they say that the
base of this tornado is like basically a

1231
01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:45.840
mile wi yeah, because they can't
see it at first. Yeah, and

1232
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.239
that's when they're like, the base
must be a mile wide. That's why

1233
01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:50.760
we're not seeing it, because we're
already there. We're already in it.

1234
01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:54.239
Yeah. So they're like, you
know, Jonas, you know, wait

1235
01:17:54.319 --> 01:17:56.359
down the pack and that's when Bill
is like, hey, Jonas, what

1236
01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:58.520
path are you on? And he's
like, oh, we're going this direction

1237
01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:00.680
and he's like you got to back
off, like this thing's gonna turn.

1238
01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:03.720
They're trying to save their quote unquote
enemies because they're heading right into the most

1239
01:18:03.800 --> 01:18:08.239
dangerous tornado possible, and Jonas's helper, he's like, you know, maybe

1240
01:18:08.239 --> 01:18:10.359
we shouldsten to him. He's he
wouldn't put us in harm's way, like

1241
01:18:10.399 --> 01:18:13.760
he's actually thinking logical about it.
Jonas doesn't want to hear it, so

1242
01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:17.239
they just keep driving and that's when
suddenly they are impaled by a what is

1243
01:18:17.279 --> 01:18:19.920
it. It's like an antenna for
like a it would be it would be

1244
01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:24.760
like a one of those climbable antennas
that people have in the country so they

1245
01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:29.439
can get further distance tells right through
their car. Yea. The tornado picks

1246
01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:32.039
up the car, drops into a
field and just blows up. Damn.

1247
01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:35.520
I mean like pretty brutal, pretty
brutal, pretty freaking brutal. And that's

1248
01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:38.920
when Bill is like, you know, he's frustrated with it, so he

1249
01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:42.960
throws the radio aside and they keep
driving. As now the tornado is back

1250
01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:45.880
on their tail again, and this
time they passed this little tractor place and

1251
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:49.760
that's when the tornado starts picking up
tractors and dropping them. And that's the

1252
01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:54.560
part where Joe says, oh,
we got to breathe, and he goes

1253
01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:58.800
debris, yeah, because it's whole
track, whole tractors. It's not debris.

1254
01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:01.039
No, No, whole tractors being
dropped right in front of them.

1255
01:19:01.079 --> 01:19:05.439
And then not to mention, a
fucking house then rolls onto the road.

1256
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:11.000
Yeah, and they have to punch
the truck through the house and it literally

1257
01:19:11.039 --> 01:19:15.760
goes through a dining room and goes
through a living through a bathroom, yeah,

1258
01:19:15.800 --> 01:19:17.520
and punches out the other side.
That's, of course, I mean,

1259
01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:21.800
one of the greatest most we're we're
going and also one of the things

1260
01:19:21.800 --> 01:19:25.359
I caught this time that I didn't
before? Was that that bear that hits

1261
01:19:25.399 --> 01:19:28.920
their truck and bounces off? Oh
yeah, teddy bear. Yeah. So

1262
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:32.039
now they have decided that they have
one chance at this one chance left,

1263
01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:35.199
and they got one Dorothy left.
So they're going to actually sacrifice the truck

1264
01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:38.199
with Dorothy in it, because that's
the way they're going to weigh down the

1265
01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:41.039
pack. So they set a path
right towards the tornado, and they decide

1266
01:19:41.079 --> 01:19:44.680
to sacrifice the truck, driving it
right into the twister and jumping out right

1267
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:47.079
before it hits. They watch the
truck keep going forward, and Dorothy then

1268
01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:50.880
releases her sensors and they have success. As they are getting all their information,

1269
01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:55.279
we see the computer light up with
all that. And also the truck

1270
01:19:55.279 --> 01:19:59.039
completely gets sucked into the twister.
Yeah, that's gone, but their mission

1271
01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:01.239
was a success. Yeah. And
yet again as I mentioned, now,

1272
01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:03.880
yeah, it's like, oh wait, we've got to not die. Yeah,

1273
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:06.880
and we also have no vehicle.
No vehicle and no, I mean,

1274
01:20:06.880 --> 01:20:12.439
and the shelter nearby really doesn't matter. No, So they are they

1275
01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:15.279
are booking it towards this farm.
So we see this tornado is right on

1276
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:17.079
their path. They're booking it towards
this farm. They go into the farm,

1277
01:20:17.319 --> 01:20:19.720
They go into the farm itself,
the barn, and they see,

1278
01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:23.760
you know, they think they're safe
until they see a bunch of slaughterhouse and

1279
01:20:23.800 --> 01:20:27.560
farming implements. Yeah, they realize
they're surrounded by nothing but sharp tools,

1280
01:20:28.079 --> 01:20:30.880
which means this is not the right
place for that. And I love Bill

1281
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:34.000
Paxson's like, I don't think so
I'm gonna say no on that one.

1282
01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:38.960
Yeah, So they leave the barn
right as the fernado demolishes, it closing

1283
01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:41.439
in on them, and that's when
they find shelter at this little shed,

1284
01:20:41.600 --> 01:20:45.399
and that's when they decide that they're
going to tie themselves to this pipe because

1285
01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:47.439
they have the pipe that goes like
thirty feet downs what Paxston says. So

1286
01:20:47.439 --> 01:20:51.000
they belt themselves of this pipe and
that's when the tornado just breaks in starts

1287
01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:55.479
going through the shed, and we
see the coolest shot as they both take

1288
01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:59.039
flight. They're tied around the pipe
and Joe gets to see the inside of

1289
01:20:59.039 --> 01:21:00.600
a tornado. We are seeing the
inside of a tornado. Is she's looking

1290
01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:04.520
up yep, and she finally gets
that moment she wanted, finally gets that

1291
01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:09.479
moment that she wanted it rages on
before once again dispersing again causing more to

1292
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:12.239
breed a fall the tornado has left. At this point, we see a

1293
01:21:12.279 --> 01:21:15.239
family come out of their storm shelter
and also surveying the damage, which it

1294
01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:17.840
turns out to be everything except their
house. Yeah, which, but you

1295
01:21:17.880 --> 01:21:21.000
know what, I like that part. I love this part. Yeah,

1296
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:26.319
because that is a reality though.
Is sometimes it just goes through and it's

1297
01:21:26.319 --> 01:21:29.880
like why not this and this and
this? Yeah, it just is that

1298
01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:31.800
just it just didn't. And also
I love the way that they show the

1299
01:21:31.800 --> 01:21:35.279
family emerging because we see the dad
come out, who looks exactly like Joe's

1300
01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:39.279
dad, Yeah, holding a kid
who looks exactly like Joe, and then

1301
01:21:39.319 --> 01:21:41.640
the rest of the family can Then
the mom comes out with two more kids

1302
01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:45.399
and yeah, so they the family
comes out of the storm shelter. They're

1303
01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:47.399
surveying the damage. Joe and Bill
check on one another, and they celebrate

1304
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:49.880
their victory before Joe starts laying out
you know, well, I gotta i

1305
01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:53.399
gotta do the lab. You gotta
do the lab analysts. I'll run the

1306
01:21:53.479 --> 01:21:54.960
lab. And he's like, no, no, no, I'm gonna run

1307
01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:57.319
the lab. You do the analyst
and she starts arguing with him, and

1308
01:21:57.319 --> 01:22:00.279
he's like, you have to make
everything so difficult. So the rest of

1309
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:02.279
the crew shows up. They're celebrating. They say they got so much information

1310
01:22:02.359 --> 01:22:05.880
coming in right now, and the
best part is no one important got hurt.

1311
01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:09.119
No one important got hurt. And
they also go, hey, look

1312
01:22:09.159 --> 01:22:11.560
at the sky, and Joe and
Bill are like, we've seen it,

1313
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:14.319
and they go in for a kiss
and the camera pulls away, and that,

1314
01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:17.720
my friends, is the end of
nineteen ninety six's Twister. Yes,

1315
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:24.880
indeed, a film with not the
most thick story, no, but an

1316
01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:30.159
incredible amount of action and fun characters
and great one liners. It is the

1317
01:22:30.560 --> 01:22:36.800
It is a definitive summer action blockbuster
movie, absolutely, and I enjoyed the

1318
01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:41.159
hell out of it revisiting it in
its entirety, because, like we've said,

1319
01:22:41.359 --> 01:22:43.960
you catch it on TV all the
time. So would you like to

1320
01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:45.439
know some fun things about the film, I would not, Well, too

1321
01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:49.079
bad. What do you think the
budget was? H Oh, there's an

1322
01:22:49.199 --> 01:22:56.800
estimation, There is no confirmed ninety
so eighty eight to ninety two million is

1323
01:22:56.840 --> 01:23:00.640
the estimation. Okay, that's that's
pretty close. Opening weekend it makes forty

1324
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:03.439
one million dollars. On May tenth
of nineteen ninety six. It grosses in

1325
01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:06.960
the US box office two hundred and
forty one million, and then box office

1326
01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:12.079
International and US takes in four hundred
and ninety five point seven million. That's

1327
01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:15.760
pretty damn good. Yes. Filming
began on May first and nineteen ninety five

1328
01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:17.760
and ended on July twenty second,
ninety ninety five, after two months,

1329
01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:21.720
eleven weeks or eighty two days of
filming. I mean, that's actually not

1330
01:23:21.880 --> 01:23:26.520
bad for a movie that that intense. So it was shot in Bolton,

1331
01:23:26.600 --> 01:23:30.600
Ontario, Canada. It was shot
in Guthrie, Oklahoma, Boone, Iowa,

1332
01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:33.680
and Burbank, California. Well that
is a combo, yes, with

1333
01:23:33.800 --> 01:23:38.600
a very loud and base heavy surround
channel. The film was notorious for destroying

1334
01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:45.039
surround speakers for theaters worldwide. I
believe that. Yeah, there's another Storm

1335
01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:47.680
movie that I saw in the theater
that I literally thought the theater was going

1336
01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:51.399
to break. Yeah, from how
intense the sound was, I can believe

1337
01:23:51.399 --> 01:23:56.520
that. I'll mention it later when
we do our suggestions for similar movies.

1338
01:23:56.640 --> 01:24:00.319
Filming in Oklahoma was briefly delayed due
to the bombing the Alfred P. Murrah

1339
01:24:00.319 --> 01:24:03.880
Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April
nineteenth, nineteen eighty five. Many of

1340
01:24:03.880 --> 01:24:08.079
the crew went to the site to
help with recovery efforts. God damn you,

1341
01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:11.159
Tim McVeigh. We got a movie
to make. A recording of a

1342
01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:15.680
camel's moan was slowed down and used
as the sound of the tornado. I

1343
01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:19.359
don't know I feel about that.
You could hear it? I could.

1344
01:24:19.399 --> 01:24:23.000
I can tell you like listening to
it and knowing that this time, Dave

1345
01:24:23.119 --> 01:24:26.520
is like, listen, take it
from somebody who's heard of camel moan a

1346
01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:30.439
couple of times, if you know
what I mean, and we knew that

1347
01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:35.000
was a camel moaning. A jet
engine from a Boeing seven oh seven was

1348
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:40.800
used to generate wind in some scenes. I believe that one thousan. According

1349
01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:43.960
to the making of the book,
the CGI cow picked up by the Twister

1350
01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:47.319
sisters was originally a CGI zebra from
Jimunji a year prior. Uh oh,

1351
01:24:47.439 --> 01:24:50.880
yeah, okay. One of the
reasons Yan Debant signed on to direct the

1352
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:55.079
film was that, given the rapid
rise of CGI in the nineteen nineties,

1353
01:24:55.119 --> 01:24:58.840
he saw this as perhaps the last
opportunity to direct a large scale film with

1354
01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:02.560
practical effects. Time time proved that
he was right. After the CGI's fast

1355
01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:08.239
evolution in later years caused the almost
to cause the almost total abandon to make

1356
01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:12.079
large scale movies with practical effects.
Well, and think about this for a

1357
01:25:12.119 --> 01:25:15.880
moment, David, nineteen ninety six, or let's say ninety five, Okay,

1358
01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:20.840
fifteen years after nineteen ninety five,
Yeah, thirty five millimeter film was

1359
01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:25.399
completely phased out. Yeah, that's
how quickly it happened. Yeah, but

1360
01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:29.479
in nineteen ninety five there wasn't even
high def video. No, there wasn't

1361
01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:34.239
even a video camera with cinematic lenses. There wasn't even twenty four frame per

1362
01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:39.119
second video yet. Yeah, that
would come about in two thousand and three,

1363
01:25:39.199 --> 01:25:43.479
two thousand and four. Damn.
So he's right. That's how quick

1364
01:25:43.560 --> 01:25:45.760
the industry was going to be changing
a lot in the next five years.

1365
01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:49.199
But the next fifteen years it was
almost going to be unrecognizable. Yeah to

1366
01:25:49.279 --> 01:25:53.239
many people. Oh, it's crazy. He does Speed in ninety four and

1367
01:25:53.239 --> 01:25:56.079
then does Twister two years later.
Where I mean Speed was I think all

1368
01:25:56.119 --> 01:25:58.760
practical effects. I'm not mistaken.
Oh, I mean there may have been

1369
01:25:58.760 --> 01:26:00.159
a touch up here and there and
there with Twister. There were probably a

1370
01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:04.439
couple touchoups, but overall it was
a very heavy, practical effects film.

1371
01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:09.159
Yeah. Several incidents during filming made
the papers, such as an altercation where

1372
01:26:09.239 --> 01:26:13.800
director Yan Debant was supposedly pushed uh
was supposedly pushed a crew member into the

1373
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:16.800
mud. Debott later explained that they
were filming a particularly difficult scene, one

1374
01:26:16.840 --> 01:26:21.199
that involved actors doing physical and dangerous
performances with lots of wind and objects flying

1375
01:26:21.199 --> 01:26:25.479
around. He suddenly noticed a crew
member walking towards the front of the camera,

1376
01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:28.239
so he dashed towards the man and
pulled him away just in time to

1377
01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:30.920
save the shot. There were also
reports of friction between Debant and the original

1378
01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:34.920
director of photography, veteran Don Burgess, which led to Burgess and twenty other

1379
01:26:35.039 --> 01:26:39.760
disgruntled crew members walking out a few
weeks into shooting. Debot, who is

1380
01:26:39.800 --> 01:26:43.279
a former director of photography, had
to operate the camera himself until Burgess was

1381
01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:48.439
replaced by jack En Green. Let
me say something, m hm, Yes,

1382
01:26:50.960 --> 01:26:56.720
it sucks when a shot is ruined, Yeah, by somebody carelessly walking

1383
01:26:56.760 --> 01:27:03.680
in or whatever. You don't shove
people, No, that's that's really all

1384
01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:09.760
I'm trying to say is you do
not put your hands on somebody. Now,

1385
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:14.800
if it were to protect them physically, absolutely, if they were going

1386
01:27:14.880 --> 01:27:17.039
to get hurt or trip or something, or if that was what you were

1387
01:27:17.079 --> 01:27:21.119
afraid of, that's one thing.
But putting your hands on somebody physically and

1388
01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:27.079
shoving them, pushing them, whatever, so that your SHOT's not ruined,

1389
01:27:29.199 --> 01:27:31.000
if that happened to me, we'd
have problems. Yeah, absolutely, I'd

1390
01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:33.239
be like, use your goddamn words. Of course, maybe it was too

1391
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:36.039
loud, Yeah, but you still
you can't shove people. No, you

1392
01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:44.000
cannot. And it's like and listen, like this is produced by Steven Spielberg.

1393
01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:49.239
Yeah, you'll get another fucking takes
will anyway. So the production bought

1394
01:27:49.319 --> 01:27:53.920
eight blocks of houses in the old
downtown area of the real town of Waquito,

1395
01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:57.359
Oklahoma, for seven thousand to ten
thousand per house. These houses,

1396
01:27:57.359 --> 01:28:01.560
in an additional thirty homes built by
the production were some sequently subsequently demolished by

1397
01:28:01.600 --> 01:28:05.319
the film's crew for the scenes after
the Twister passes. The town later rebuilt

1398
01:28:05.319 --> 01:28:09.199
the town area and also kept the
new fire truck used in the film.

1399
01:28:09.520 --> 01:28:13.319
That's good. I like that.
That's a hap happy situation. In a

1400
01:28:13.359 --> 01:28:15.439
public Q and A, Bill,
Paxton said he didn't meet executive producer Steven

1401
01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:18.720
Spielberg until a year and a half
after finishing the movie. He said Spielberg

1402
01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:25.079
greeted him with thanks for making me
a lot of money. Fucking Spielberg,

1403
01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:28.159
I love that. Yeah. Tom
Hanks was the original choice for the role

1404
01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:30.680
of Bill hart. Hanks read the
lines with the cast and even chose the

1405
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:33.600
character's wardrobe, which stayed in the
final film. He dropped out of pre

1406
01:28:33.640 --> 01:28:36.199
production and said it wasn't what I
was trying to do with my career at

1407
01:28:36.199 --> 01:28:39.840
that time. It called for an
eccentric man with the Southern flare, and

1408
01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:42.840
that just wasn't me. Hanks went
on to help Paxton land the role,

1409
01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:45.880
as he felt his Apollo thirteenth co
star was the perfect for the role.

1410
01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:49.960
I've heard of Hank's well. Tom
Hanks produced Big Love, correct, So

1411
01:28:50.079 --> 01:28:54.800
he's always been a big proponent of
Paxton. Yeah. I think Hanks would

1412
01:28:54.800 --> 01:28:57.760
have been way too on the nose. Yeah, as a big star at

1413
01:28:57.800 --> 01:29:01.119
that time, So Bill Harding was
almost played by Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner,

1414
01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:06.920
Dennis Quaid, John Travolta, Richard
Gear, John Cusack, Nicholas Cage,

1415
01:29:08.119 --> 01:29:12.439
Bruce Willis, Val Kilmer, Kurt
Russell, and Michael Keaton. I

1416
01:29:12.479 --> 01:29:17.000
could see Willis and I could see
Cage, Kurt Russell. No, because

1417
01:29:17.039 --> 01:29:23.680
because because Bill's not cool. Yeah
he's a he's a geek. Yeah,

1418
01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:30.560
he's he's a cool geek. Keaton
could. I feel like if Michael Keaton

1419
01:29:30.600 --> 01:29:33.239
played Bill, we'd be wondering,
like where the bodies are because he'd be

1420
01:29:33.319 --> 01:29:36.159
like, all right, we're gonna
catch the storm. Canny be scowling,

1421
01:29:36.199 --> 01:29:39.199
and you'd be like, what is
wrong with him? You want to get

1422
01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:43.239
storms, you want to get tornadoes. Let's get tornadoes. No, I

1423
01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:46.960
love him, but I feel like
he's too dark. Paxton is that perfect,

1424
01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:53.920
Like he's eccentric, but he's not. He's not automatically threatening. Yeah,

1425
01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:57.600
he's funny, but he's not too
funny. You almost feel like,

1426
01:29:58.880 --> 01:30:01.520
I don't know. He is a
real sweet spot as an actor, and

1427
01:30:01.640 --> 01:30:05.000
I feel like most of those options
would be weird. Like I mean,

1428
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:11.199
in nineteen ninety six, Nicholas Cage
might have worked really well because he was

1429
01:30:11.319 --> 01:30:15.439
very malleable. Yeah, you know, NAT six would have been the year

1430
01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:17.000
after conn Air. Yeah, and
con Air is a great example. It

1431
01:30:17.039 --> 01:30:20.840
was not a nick cage like being
wacky. He was totally different. But

1432
01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:25.680
I think even he would have maybe
been too big or quite so subtle.

1433
01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:29.279
Paxton very subtle in a movie that
is as subtle as a punch in the

1434
01:30:29.279 --> 01:30:34.039
face. This is true, just
my opinion. So Do You Even?

1435
01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:47.199
Movie will be right back, Welcome
back to Do You Even? Movie.

1436
01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:53.680
It was Spielberg's idea to kill out
the father in the opening scene. Originally

1437
01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:57.000
he would have survived, but it
was decided his death would establish how dangerous

1438
01:30:57.039 --> 01:31:00.439
tornadoes can be and the reason for
Joe's obsession with them later in If he

1439
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:01.760
hadn't died, it would have been
like, why did you even show us

1440
01:31:01.800 --> 01:31:05.039
that? Yeah? Uh, she
was scared once, like come on.

1441
01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:11.319
The explosion of the oil tanker was
originally mistimed and was not caught on film.

1442
01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:14.760
Dubont decided not to tell the studio
immediately, and the stunt was reset

1443
01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:18.119
and filmed again, costing a rumored
five hundred thousand dollars. It absolutely would

1444
01:31:18.119 --> 01:31:21.439
cost that much. Yeah. According
to an urban legend, a tornado hit

1445
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:25.439
a drive in theater in Stony Creek, Ontario while the movie was playing.

1446
01:31:25.439 --> 01:31:29.640
Twister In reality, a tornado hit
a drive in theater in Thorhoed, Ontario

1447
01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:32.319
on May twentieth, nineteenninety six,
damaging a screen. The movie was not

1448
01:31:32.359 --> 01:31:35.199
playing when the tornado hit, but
it was scheduled to play that evening.

1449
01:31:35.600 --> 01:31:40.239
That's funny, yeah, okay.
Yon Dubant, a vegetarian, has stated

1450
01:31:40.239 --> 01:31:43.640
that he hated filming the scene at
Aunt Meg's house when everyone is eating stick

1451
01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:47.359
and eggs. Oh poor baby days
was sunshine posed a problem because they did

1452
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:51.159
not make background skies looks suitably stormy. In order to fix this and prevent

1453
01:31:51.199 --> 01:31:55.720
delays, several sequences, such as
the truck cab sequences had to be flooded

1454
01:31:55.760 --> 01:32:00.479
with high intensity key leg lights for
better contrast. Hunt and Paxton bo suffered

1455
01:32:00.479 --> 01:32:03.399
minor retinal burns through much of the
filming. You'd be amazed the things you

1456
01:32:03.439 --> 01:32:06.399
have to do to get the light
to look a very specific way. Yeah.

1457
01:32:06.479 --> 01:32:12.600
Well, I always remember that scene
in uh what's the from Missaldon documentary

1458
01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:15.479
called Book until Boogie where they're waiting
on that shot by the gas station for

1459
01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:17.640
the clouds. Yeah, they're waiting
for the clouds to move and for the

1460
01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:20.760
sun to get lower. Yep.
Yep. Debat said he regretted thinking of

1461
01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:24.680
the hail sequence because it took so
long to do and was very difficult.

1462
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:27.720
The crew weren't able to find ice
blocks big enough in Oklahoma. They ended

1463
01:32:27.800 --> 01:32:30.960
up fighting them and finding them in
other states, and some were obtained from

1464
01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:33.920
Burlington Ice Company in Iowa. The
ice blocks were made special by pouring milk

1465
01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:36.439
in with the water so the hail
would show up better. Yeah, that

1466
01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:40.760
makes sense to make them a little
bit more opaque. In an early scene,

1467
01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:43.000
when Hoffman is sitting on a lawn
chair, he lifts his leg in

1468
01:32:43.039 --> 01:32:45.600
the air wall laughing. His genitals
were fully exposed and visible for a split

1469
01:32:45.680 --> 01:32:48.920
second. It was edited out on
the DVD and VHS releases, but it

1470
01:32:49.079 --> 01:32:55.479
was leaked no CGI, but it
was leaked to release the cut with the

1471
01:32:55.520 --> 01:33:00.880
Ball. It was leaked from VHS
screeners sent to industry professionals. Somebody leaked

1472
01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.680
it. That was an industry professional
release. The Seamo where the film Seymour

1473
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:09.000
Hoffman cut. The project was a
co production between Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers.

1474
01:33:09.000 --> 01:33:11.800
That is why the drive in Marquee
shows cycle and shining as it's double

1475
01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:15.039
bill. Okay, yeah, that
makes sense. Jonas is vilified for selling

1476
01:33:15.079 --> 01:33:18.199
out to corporate sponsors, which is
ironic considering Pepsi's very prominent product placement.

1477
01:33:18.319 --> 01:33:21.319
When the team is making the wings
for the censors all of the cancer Pepsi

1478
01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:25.640
products, and almost all the shots
showing the doppler, the colors spiral inward

1479
01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:28.960
and morph into the Pepsi symbol.
Yeah they really do, Yeah they do.

1480
01:33:30.680 --> 01:33:32.880
Twister floated around the industry for several
years and was seen as a very

1481
01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:38.319
sought after project before moving into production
very early and on in development before Yon

1482
01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:41.600
de Bant was attached to it.
Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemechis, Tim Burton,

1483
01:33:41.680 --> 01:33:45.640
John Carpenter, James Cameron, and
John Badham were considered approach or attached

1484
01:33:45.640 --> 01:33:48.439
to direct the film at various points
in pre production. Spielberg served as executive

1485
01:33:48.439 --> 01:33:53.880
producer. Wow, I could see
Bob Zamechis or Cameron, Tim Burton Timbaha,

1486
01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:58.079
gosh, you can joke about that
if you want to, just hate

1487
01:33:58.119 --> 01:34:00.720
it. Garth Brooks, Mark que
and Chris Farley turned down the role of

1488
01:34:00.800 --> 01:34:06.920
Dustin Davis. Mark Cuban, that's
what said. Does Mark Cuban acting in

1489
01:34:06.960 --> 01:34:12.720
the ninth have no idea Christopher McDonald
was considered for the role of doctor Jonas

1490
01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:15.880
Miller, but was already committed to
Happy Gilmore in nineteen ninety six, where

1491
01:34:15.920 --> 01:34:18.720
he coincidentally plays a similar arrogance smug
villain. Alec Baldwin, Peter Green,

1492
01:34:18.760 --> 01:34:24.159
and Hugh Laurie were also considered.
Wait, so the other ultimate prick character

1493
01:34:24.239 --> 01:34:28.840
actor? Yeah, which is funny
because he actually shows up in Perfect Storm

1494
01:34:28.920 --> 01:34:32.920
as the meteorologist he does. Yeah, God damn, that's so funny.

1495
01:34:33.159 --> 01:34:38.359
Director Yon Debont didn't want to work
with famous actors because they're notoriously demanding nature

1496
01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:41.439
and diva behavior, instead of going
for lesser known actors in order not to

1497
01:34:41.479 --> 01:34:44.359
draw away the attention from the Tornadoes. He said that the hardest actor to

1498
01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:46.399
cast was Helen Hunt. Dubont really
wanted her to play the lead because he

1499
01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:50.119
loved her strong persona and ability to
boss people around, which reminded him of

1500
01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:55.000
The Whirlwind. However, the studio
was puzzled over to Bont's choice since Hunt

1501
01:34:55.039 --> 01:34:59.000
was only known for doing TV sitcoms
at the time so trancers, so they

1502
01:34:59.079 --> 01:35:02.600
pressured him into a hole hold audition
additional auditions. Debat said that these auditions

1503
01:35:02.640 --> 01:35:05.520
were really embarrassing since he had to
tell every actress who turned up that he

1504
01:35:05.560 --> 01:35:10.199
already had set his mind on Helen
Hunt, and afterwards informed the studio that

1505
01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:15.439
he was unable to find a more
suitable actress. Jez Man was shot as

1506
01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:18.720
an R rated film that featured profanity
and grizzly or wound details. The film

1507
01:35:18.760 --> 01:35:23.239
was edited down to a PG thirteen
in post production, which caused additional scenes

1508
01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:26.479
would carry Elways and Philip Seymour Hoffman
to be left on the cutting room floor

1509
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:30.920
due to content alone. Other profanities
throughout the film were muted or replaced to

1510
01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:34.439
secure the PG thirteen rating. Why
would you ever want to do Twister as

1511
01:35:34.439 --> 01:35:36.760
an R rated film? That's what
I was wondering, because if there is

1512
01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:40.279
an R rated cut, I would
to fucking see it. I just don't.

1513
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:44.279
It doesn't make sense to me though, Like it's it's an action movie

1514
01:35:44.279 --> 01:35:47.359
about bad weather. Yeah, Like
why does it need it doesn't need to

1515
01:35:47.399 --> 01:35:50.600
be an R rated movie? Yeah, it just doesn't make sense. And

1516
01:35:50.680 --> 01:35:56.279
finally, not counting the prologue set
during Joe's childhood, the entire film takes

1517
01:35:56.279 --> 01:35:59.079
place in twenty four hours. And
that is very true. That was the

1518
01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:01.520
first time I ever noticed it from
this watch. So yeah, so that

1519
01:36:02.199 --> 01:36:05.920
is the fun facts on Twister.
So what are your final thoughts on nineteen

1520
01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:13.199
ninety six's Twister. H Part of
me wants to say by it, but

1521
01:36:13.239 --> 01:36:15.920
part of me thinks that that's nostalgia
speaking. Okay, it is a fun

1522
01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:19.640
movie. It is certainly a rent
it. It is certainly a film that's

1523
01:36:19.680 --> 01:36:24.560
worth viewing and enjoying. Yeah,
I don't know if it needs to be

1524
01:36:25.520 --> 01:36:29.840
in your library because it's always on
well, and it's a fun movie.

1525
01:36:29.840 --> 01:36:31.479
But it's not like it's a poignant
movie. It's not like it's a movie

1526
01:36:31.520 --> 01:36:38.840
that will change your life even moderately. It is just a perfect blockbuster.

1527
01:36:39.079 --> 01:36:45.119
Yeah, fun movie. It's like
it's like saying, you know Deep Rising,

1528
01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:48.199
Yeah, does is Deep Rising have
to be in your collection? It

1529
01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:51.319
does not? But is Deep Rising
fucking awesome oday? It is? Yeah,

1530
01:36:51.479 --> 01:36:54.960
the show soon guarantee you that.
So I think I'm gonna go with

1531
01:36:55.000 --> 01:36:58.720
rent it on this one. I'm
gonna stick with a buy it and it

1532
01:36:58.760 --> 01:37:00.600
could be as for nostalgi just say, but I fitch, I think this

1533
01:37:00.760 --> 01:37:04.159
is just one of those movies that, even if it's not perfect, it

1534
01:37:04.239 --> 01:37:08.680
is it's just so much fun to
watch the runtime flies by, because you

1535
01:37:08.680 --> 01:37:11.359
and I were even talking about it, it does fly by. And also

1536
01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:15.479
it's just it's a time capsule of
both storm chasing in the nineties but also

1537
01:37:15.840 --> 01:37:19.439
blockbusters of the nineties. Yeah.
No, it is an epitome. Yeah,

1538
01:37:19.560 --> 01:37:23.880
I mean it's it's one of the
few that's not like Jurassic Park.

1539
01:37:23.960 --> 01:37:27.199
Yeah, you know, it's it's
it's a different type of blockbuster at the

1540
01:37:27.199 --> 01:37:30.359
time, and it feels very loved. It feels like a very loved movie

1541
01:37:30.359 --> 01:37:32.640
because I think I don't really think
I've ever met anybody that doesn't like Twister,

1542
01:37:32.680 --> 01:37:38.319
to be honest, m maybe you're
probably gonna be now to what They're

1543
01:37:38.319 --> 01:37:41.479
probably gonna meet somebody now, oh
yeah, the comments on this on this

1544
01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:44.119
episode, Oh yeah, they'll be
They'll be there, don't worry. So

1545
01:37:44.159 --> 01:37:45.279
as we get get ready to get
out of here, we always like to

1546
01:37:45.359 --> 01:37:48.199
end the show with a couple of
recommendations. I have two this week.

1547
01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:51.319
First one being Knight of the Twisters
from nineteen ninety six. This is a

1548
01:37:51.319 --> 01:37:55.319
TV movie and it says the residents
of a small town come face to face

1549
01:37:55.359 --> 01:37:59.279
with a deadly and unpredictable series of
tornadoes. Among them is one boy struggling

1550
01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:02.119
to keep his family safe and dangerous
weather. It was one that played on

1551
01:38:02.199 --> 01:38:05.199
ABC Family or Fox Family back in
the day a lot, and I do

1552
01:38:05.359 --> 01:38:09.359
know for a fact that YouTube may
or may not have it right now.

1553
01:38:10.119 --> 01:38:13.720
That is my first recommendation, and
my second recommendation, I'm gonna go with

1554
01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:17.439
Debont's directorial debut, Speed from nineteen
ninety four. Young police officer must prevent

1555
01:38:17.479 --> 01:38:20.560
a bomb exploding aboard a city bus
by keeping its speed above fifty miles per

1556
01:38:20.560 --> 01:38:26.319
hour. This is where you can
see Debat really has a knack for this

1557
01:38:26.439 --> 01:38:29.960
type of blockbuster. But also Speed
is just a really really fun movie and

1558
01:38:29.960 --> 01:38:32.159
also one where the runtime flies by. Again. I love Speed. We

1559
01:38:32.199 --> 01:38:35.000
watched it, we revisited a couple
of years ago, or like probably four

1560
01:38:35.079 --> 01:38:38.800
years ago, and that was such
a fun night. Yeah. I No,

1561
01:38:38.960 --> 01:38:41.239
Speed is a hell of a good
time. Yeah. So what is

1562
01:38:41.279 --> 01:38:45.880
your recommendation? Well, mine is
going to have to be twenty Fourteen's Into

1563
01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:49.760
the Storm Hell, Yes, which
is a I think a very underrated storm

1564
01:38:49.800 --> 01:38:54.479
film. Yeah. I saw it
in the theater and I thought some place

1565
01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:59.840
was gonna explode because the storm sounds
were so intense. It's got a great

1566
01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:03.840
past. It's got Matt Walsh in
it, comedian I love. It's got

1567
01:39:03.920 --> 01:39:09.720
Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Kallis and
Callie's in it as well, a lot

1568
01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:14.439
of recognizable faces. But most of
all, one of the most daunting storm

1569
01:39:14.520 --> 01:39:20.439
scenes ever where Matt Walsh is in
his storm truck and it gets pulled into

1570
01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:26.520
the tornado and he ends up at
the top of the storm, yeah,

1571
01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:30.399
and can see above everything, and
it's like the most beautiful, terrifying thing

1572
01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:33.600
you've ever seen. I think Into
the Storm is a perfect storm horror movie.

1573
01:39:33.680 --> 01:39:38.039
Yeah. I caught it on cable
like three or four years after I

1574
01:39:38.079 --> 01:39:40.640
saw it in the theater while I
was in a hotel like traveling. Yeah,

1575
01:39:40.720 --> 01:39:42.239
and I was like, damn,
it is a good movie. It's

1576
01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:45.199
fun. It still holds up.
Don't let the first twenty minutes turn you

1577
01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:47.199
off from it, because you do
meet the redneck characters that really don't do

1578
01:39:47.279 --> 01:39:50.560
much of the storm stuff at first, like fifteen. I mean, it's

1579
01:39:50.720 --> 01:39:54.680
kind of a found footage style movie
too, which I think makes it scary.

1580
01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:58.239
It absolutely does. So I can't
recommend it to the storm enough I

1581
01:39:58.239 --> 01:40:01.479
think people should definitely check it out
if you haven't already. So are those

1582
01:40:01.520 --> 01:40:04.159
are our recommendations for this week.
Would you like to know what we're talking

1583
01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:09.880
about next week? Absolutely not,
Well you should because we're going back to

1584
01:40:09.960 --> 01:40:14.600
children's movies with nineteen ninety three's The
Sandlot, one of my all time favorite

1585
01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:16.159
films from when I was a kid. Yes, a film that might make

1586
01:40:16.239 --> 01:40:20.600
me well generally makes me cry.
So well, we have an email.

1587
01:40:20.720 --> 01:40:30.159
Oh so let's see. Okay,

1591
01:40:40.159 --> 01:40:44.680

1592
01:40:44.840 --> 01:40:47.960
my kid just got her driving permit. Oh man, Hello guys, my

1593
01:40:48.119 --> 01:40:53.640
daughter has just received her driver's permit. Can you please review License to Drive

1594
01:40:53.760 --> 01:40:58.119

Awesome, Thanks again, Kevin Potter, Thank you, thank you Kevin.

1597
01:41:05.239 --> 01:41:09.960
That uh that's a possibility. I
haven't seen licenses driving so long.

1598
01:41:10.319 --> 01:41:14.920
That could be a fun, fun
one for soon. I mean figure it

1599
01:41:14.920 --> 01:41:18.640

yeah, film like so Dave is the

1600

man, so Dave will if if
it happens, it'll be because of Dave.

1601
01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:25.279
And if you're let down, it's
also because of Day. We're going

1602
01:41:25.319 --> 01:41:28.479
to see how easy it is to
find right now because I know that DVD

1603
01:41:28.560 --> 01:41:30.359
and blue Raar, I think you're
out of print. I think you're right.

1604
01:41:31.479 --> 01:41:34.359
Is it stream it's streaming, it's
gotta be. No, it's gotta

1605
01:41:34.359 --> 01:41:38.439
be. It's nowhere. Hang on, it's loading. No, it's not,

1606
01:41:39.920 --> 01:41:44.720
it's it says it's load. Oh
oh oh oh no. Yeah,

1607
01:41:44.800 --> 01:41:46.560
you could rent it. You can
rent it on p Yeah. But yeah,

1608
01:41:46.560 --> 01:41:49.199
that's absolutely a possibility. But yeah, absolutely, it's definitely in our

1609
01:41:49.239 --> 01:41:53.640
wheelhouse. Absolutely so. And do
you want to give away what we're doing

1610
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:57.039
in August? Oh? Yes,
I would love to give away we're doing

1611
01:41:57.079 --> 01:42:00.479
in August. So unfortunately, this
past week we did find out that a

1612
01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:05.760
legendary comedian, musician, painter,
painter, actor, a man carried many

1613
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:10.319
hats. Martin Moull left us carried
many hats, carried many hats. Indeed,

1614
01:42:10.399 --> 01:42:14.600
Okay, we unfortunately lost him this
past week to I think that was

1615
01:42:14.600 --> 01:42:17.239
at age eighty. I think he
was a little older though, Okay,

1616
01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:20.600
eighty or eighty one, I can't
remember. But we are going to kick

1617
01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:27.039
off August or should I call it
August. Please don't by highlighting four of

1618
01:42:27.079 --> 01:42:30.000
our favorite Martin male films, because
the one thing that I didn't notice is

1619
01:42:30.279 --> 01:42:32.239
while he is in everything, his
film list is a little shorter than I

1620
01:42:32.279 --> 01:42:35.119
thought it was because he was on
TV all the time. Well, I

1621
01:42:35.159 --> 01:42:38.680
remember the first time I remember seeing
him was on Sabrina, the team against

1622
01:42:38.680 --> 01:42:41.359
which yep, yep, so and
yes passed away eighty years old. Eighty

1623
01:42:41.439 --> 01:42:45.039
years old. Yeah, so we
will be kicking off August or ma August,

1624
01:42:45.119 --> 01:42:48.039
as I said, yeah, which
either it's either going to be I

1625
01:42:48.039 --> 01:42:53.439
think it's either going to be Clue
or Missus Doubtfire were the two that we

1626
01:42:53.680 --> 01:42:56.199
that we decided don't give away every
Oh no, no, no, I'm

1627
01:42:56.239 --> 01:42:58.800
not you just give away that it's
going to be Martin Maule movies. Well,

1628
01:42:58.840 --> 01:43:00.800
I'm just I'm just I'm just kidding
